ACCENTIA BIOPHARMA: Posts $15.7MM Net Loss in Fiscal 2011
---------------------------------------------------------
Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., filed on Dec. 19, 2011, its
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30,
2011.

Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, L.L.P., in Tampa, Fla., expressed
substantial doubt about Accentia Biopharmaceuticals' ability to
continue as a going concern.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company incurred cumulative net losses of approximately
$63.9 million during the two years ended Sept. 30, 2011, and had a
working capital deficiency of approximately $29.0 million at
Sept. 30, 2011.

The Company reported a net loss of $15.7 million on $4.0 million
of sales for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a
net loss of $48.2 million on $5.4 million of sales for the fiscal
year ended Sept. 30, 2010.

The Company has recognized gains of $12.7 million and $59,188 for
the years ended Sept. 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a result
of the settlement the Company's prepetition claims through the
Company's Chapter 11 proceedings.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $5.9 million
in total assets, $93.0 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $87.1 million.

A copy of the Form 10-K is available for free at:

                       http://is.gd/3K4fAT

Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
(OTC QB: "ABPI") -- http://www.Accentia.net/-- is committed to
advancing the autoimmune disease therapy, Revimmune(TM), as a
comprehensive system of care and drug regimen designed for the
treatment of autoimmune diseases.  Revimmune therapy includes an
ultra-high-dose regimen of Cytoxan(R) (cyclophosphamide),
exclusively supplied via a strategic agreement with Baxter
Healthcare Corporation.  Clinical trials for Revimmune are being
planned for the treatment of multiple autoimmune indications.

Accentia holds a majority-ownership stake in Biovest
International, Inc. (OTC QB: "BVTI"), an emerging leader in the
field of active personalized immunotherapies.  In collaboration
with the National Cancer Institute, Biovest has developed a
patient-specific cancer vaccine, BiovaxID(R), with three clinical
trials completed, including a Phase III study for the treatment of
follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

On Nov. 10, 2008, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Analytica, TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc. d/b/a Accentia
Pharmaceuticals, AccentRx, Inc., and Accentia Specialty Pharmacy
filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division.

On Nov. 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
the Debtors' Joint Plan of Reorganization.  The Company emerged
from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on
Nov. 17, 2010.


AES EASTERN: Fitch Cuts Ratings on Two Certificate Series to 'C'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded a total of $433.1 million outstanding
secured debt serviced by cash flow from AES Eastern Energy LP
(AEE) to 'C' from 'CC.'  The downgrade is due to a likely default
on AEE's next lease payment due Jan. 3, 2012.

Fitch has taken the following rating actions:

AES Eastern Energy LP

  -- $165 million outstanding Series 1999-A certificates, due
     2017, downgraded to 'C' from 'CC';

  -- $268 million outstanding Series 1999-B certificates, due
     2029, downgraded to 'C' from 'CC'.

There is a high probability that AEE will not have sufficient
liquidity to pay the debt portion of its January lease payment, as
disclosed to Fitch by AEE management in early December 2011.
Recent AEE quarterly financial statements similarly warn of a
strong likelihood of default by June 30, 2012 and re-classified
all debt service as a current obligation.

In addition, collateral under the leases is currently in jeopardy.
As of Dec. 7, 2011, AEE failed to make payments or to obtain a
forbearance extension on its $30 million Additional Liquidity
Facility provided by an AEE affiliate, AES New York Surety, LLC.
These failures allow the affiliate the right to take 100% limited
partner ownership of AEE's interest in the project leases. A
reduction in any of AEE's ownership of the lease partnership below
51% would be an event of default under the lease agreements.

AEE is a special purpose entity that is indirectly wholly owned by
AES Corp, rated 'B+' with a Stable Outlook by Fitch.  AEE operates
four coal-fired electricity generating facilities with a gross
capacity of 1,169 MW, and of those four plants AEE leases two.
AEE sells electricity into the spot market at prevailing New York
Independent System Operator wholesale market prices.


ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PA: Fitch Lowers Rating on Revenue Bonds to 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As part of its continuous surveillance effort, Fitch Ratings takes
the following rating action on Allegheny County, PA Redevelopment
Authority's (the authority) tax increment revenue bonds:

  -- $7.3 million outstanding tax increment financing district
     revenue bonds (Robinson Mall project), series 2000A, affirmed
     at 'BB+';

  -- $2.3 million outstanding tax increment financing district
     revenue bonds (Robinson Mall project), series 2000B,
     downgraded to 'B' from 'BB-'.

The Rating Outlook for both the series 2000A and 2000B bonds is
revised to Negative from Stable.

The 2000A bonds are secured by the tax increment revenue derived
from the mall properties, excluding the two parcels owned by Sears
and J.C. Penney.  As additional security, the mall developer and
owner, Robinson Mall-JCP Associates, LTD, a subsidiary of Forest
City Enterprises (not rated by Fitch), has entered into a minimum
payment agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to make annual
payments in an amount up to $235,920, or approximately 15% of
maximum annual debt service, in the event pledged tax increment
revenue is insufficient.  The 2000A bonds are additionally secured
by a cash funded debt service reserve fund.

The 2000B bonds are secured by tax increment revenue generated
against the Sears and J.C. Penney properties and a junior lien on
tax increment revenue from the mall properties.  Additionally,
Sears and J.C. Penney have each entered into a minimum payment
agreement securing their respective pro-rata share of debt service
on the 2000B bonds in the event that pledged tax increment revenue
is insufficient.

Allegheny County, Montour School District, and the Township of
Robinson adopted a tax increment financing plan to provide funding
through the issuance of tax increment bonds for the construction
of roadways, utility and infrastructure improvements benefiting a
regional shopping mall in Robinson Township, Pennsylvania.  The
Mall at Robinson opened in fall 2001 along a bustling corridor
connecting the Pittsburgh International Airport and the downtown
business district.  Unlike regional competitors, the mall has the
advantage of direct interstate access, which helps to attract
shoppers from a wider trade area including portions of eastern
Ohio and western West Virginia.  The area immediately surrounding
the mall exhibits strong population growth, favorable income
characteristics, and low levels of unemployment relative to the
state and nation.  The mall's anchor tenants are Macy's (Fitch IDR
'BBB-'), J.C. Penney, Sears and Dick's Sporting Goods (not rated
by Fitch).  The mall also houses approximately 120 'in-line'
retailers and eateries under long-term triple-net leases that
generally extend from five to 10 years.  The authority reports
there are no additional capital needs at the mall that would
require debt financing.

Pledged tax increment revenues received in 2010 provided adequate
maximum annual debt service coverage of 1.08x on the 2000A bonds
after failing to fully cover annual debt service in 2008 (0.96x)
and in 2006 (0.89x) as a result of various adjustments for
municipal overpayments and refunds stemming from assessment
appeals.  According to the authority's project consultant, the
Mall Building appealed its assessed value and received a reduction
in 2009 from $104,742,900 to $93,500,000.  The real estate taxes
paid to each taxing jurisdiction in 2010 were based on the higher
assessed value of $104,742,000.  The reduction has been appealed
by Robinson Twp. and the Montour School District.  If the assessed
value is finalized at $93,500,000 the excess 2010 taxes will total
$265,976.  It is unclear as to the tax increment district's
obligation to refund the taxing jurisdictions.  According to
management at the authority, the county is performing a countywide
tax revaluation and is working with the mall owner and taxing
jurisdictions to determine proper assessed values and treatment of
refunds to help ensure sufficient tax revenues to support debt
service on the bonds.  Mitigating a loss in tax increment revenues
from a downward assessment is the minimum payment agreement with
the mall owner which has not been called upon to date.

JCP Associates, the mall owner, is responsible for a significant
78% of the tax increment revenues and relies primarily upon lease
rental payments from the mall tenants to make tax payments.
Consistent with previous years, tax increment revenue generated
from the Sears and J.C. Penney properties in 2010 provided debt
service coverage of 0.54x on the series 2000B bonds and is not
expected to fully cover debt service going forward.  Surplus
pledged tax increment revenue generated during the interest only
period following issuance accumulated in the redemption fund
pursuant to the trust indenture provides a cushion to service debt
in years when pledged revenue is insufficient.  The availability
of these funds has historically negated the need to call upon the
minimum payment agreements provided by Sears and J.C. Penney.

It is expected that these minimum payment agreements will be
called upon going forward, especially since Sears successfully
appealed its property value in 2009.  The amounts payable under
the minimum payment agreements provided 0.98x coverage on 2008B
debt service in 2010. When combined with 2010 surplus tax
increment revenues of $143,034, after payment of the series 2000A
bonds, coverage improves to 1.28x.  In 2010, Sear's paid $127,920
to the Series B debt service account representing its overdue and
unpaid amounts for years 2007-2010 under the minimum payment
agreement.  Excess tax increment revenues held by the trustee in
the revenue and redemption funds totaling $1.4 million, although
not pledged to bondholders, help mitigate any delays in
collections from the minimum payment agreements or shortfalls in
coverage.


AMERICANWEST BANCORP: Wants to Hire BDO Seidman as Tax Accountant
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AmericanWest Bancorporation asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Washington for permission to employ BDO
Seidman, LLP, as tax accountants.

BDO Seidman was not promised compensation from the Debtor or some
other entity for services rendered in the case.

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

                About AmericanWest Bancorporation

Headquartered in Spokane, Washington, AmericanWest Bancorporation
(OTC BB: AWBC) -- http://www.awbank.net/-- was a bank holding
company whose principal subsidiary was AmericanWest Bank, which
included Far West Bank in Utah operating as an integrated division
of AmericanWest Bank.  AmericanWest Bank was a community bank with
58 financial centers located in Washington, Northern Idaho and
Utah.

AmericanWest Bancorporation filed for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. E.D. Wash. Case No. 10-06097) on Oct. 28, 2010.  The
banking subsidiary was not included in the Chapter 11 filing.

Christopher M. Alston, Esq., and Dillon E. Jackson, Esq., at
Foster Pepper Shefelman PLLC, in Seattle, Washington, serve as
bankruptcy counsel.  G. Larry Engel, Esq., at Morrison & Foerster
LLP, also serves as counsel.

The Debtor estimated assets of $1 million to $10 million and debts
of $10 million to $50 million in its Chapter 11 petition.
AmericanWest Bancorporation's estimates exclude its banking unit's
assets and debts.  In its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission before the Petition Date, AmericanWest
Bancorporation reported consolidated assets -- including its bank
unit's -- of $1.536 billion and consolidated debts of
$1.538 billion as of Sept. 30, 2010.

In December 2010, AmericanWest Bancorporation completed the sale
of all outstanding shares of AmericanWest Bank to a wholly owned
subsidiary of SKBHC Holdings LLC, in a transaction approved by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court.


ANNA PERRETTA: ARE LIX Has Green Light to Foreclose
---------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Arthur N. Votolato granted the request of
American Residential Equities, LIX LLC, for leave to foreclose a
mortgage on real property owned by Michele and Anna Perretta, who
contend, based on alleged chain of title questions, that LIX lacks
standing to bring such a motion.  The Debtors' objection also
raises the issue of whether a secured creditor has standing to
challenge the validity of a mortgage assignment, where the
mortgagor is neither a party to, nor a third party beneficiary of
that assignment.  Judge Votolato said LIX has established a
colorable claim to property of the estate, and thus has standing
to request relief from stay.

Michele and Anna Perretta own property at 380 Pippin Orchard Road
in Cranston, Rhode Island.  On July 2, 2004, the Perrettas filed a
Chapter 11 case which was later converted to one under Chapter 7,
and in May 2005, the Perrettas received a Chapter 7 discharge.
The following month, the recently discharged Debtors filed again,
this time, under Chapter 13.  That case was dismissed in March
2006 for failure to make plan payments.

On Oct. 25, 2006, the Perrettas executed a note and mortgage
granting a security interest in their property to Zurich Mortgage
Solutions LLC.  On Nov. 28, 2006, the mortgage was assigned by
Zurich to American Residential Equities.  On Nov. 14, 2007, two
weeks prior to the Zurich assignment, ARE assigned its mortgage to
GMAC.  At the time, GMAC was the loan servicer for ARE.

On Sept. 14, 2007, the assignments by Zurich to ARE, and ARE to
GMAC, were recorded.  In April 2010, the Perrettas filed a second
Chapter 13 case, which was dismissed on June 25, 2010 "without
prejudice."  In August 2010, the Perrettas filed yet another
Chapter 13 case (Bankr. D. R.I. Case No. 10-13531).

GMAC transferred the mortgage to American Residential Equities LIX
via an assignment recorded on Nov. 10, 2010.  LIX was one of a
number of LLCs formed by ARE, and ARE was authorized to act on
LIX's behalf.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting
net income of $58,204 on $1.43 million of revenue for the three
months ended Oct. 31, 2011, compared with a net loss of $41,015 on
$1.02 million of revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company reported a net loss of $156,331 on $3.89 million of
revenue for the year ended Jan. 31, 2011, compared with a net loss
of $196,280 on $2.44 million of revenue during the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of $293,559 on $3.56 million of
revenue for the nine months ended Oct. 31, 2011, compared with a
net loss of $101,988 on $2.86 million of revenue for the same
period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 31, 2011, showed $1.91 million
in total assets, $1.89 million in total liabilities and $23,232 in
total stockholders' equity.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 2, 2010,
Kabani & Company, Inc., in Los Angeles, expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
following the Company's results for the fiscal year ended
Jan. 31, 2010.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $1.24 million as of Jan. 31, 2010,
working capital of $1.07 million and cash flows used in operating
activities of $338,141.

BANKUNITED FINANCIAL: Headed to Feb. 21 Confirmation Hearing
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the bankruptcy court in Miami will hold a
confirmation hearing on Feb. 21 for approval of the Chapter 11
plan proposed for BankUnited Financial Corp. by the official
creditors' committee.

The report relates that confirming a plan was precluded by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s $1.47 billion claim based on the
bank's capital deficiency.  There is a separate dispute over
ownership of a $50 million tax refunds. The plan is based on a
partial settlement with the FDIC.  The disclosure statement says
that holders owed $321 million on senior notes will recover about
1% to as much as 14.3%. Holders owed $245 million on subordinated
notes won't receive anything as the result of a subordination
agreement.  There is almost nothing in the way of unsecured
claims, the committee believes.  Almost all unsecured claims are
against the bank subsidiary, in the committee's judgment.

Aside from the tax refund claim, a principal asset is the $4.25
billion net tax loss carryforward.  The bankruptcy judge ruled
that the tax refund claim belongs to BankUnited. The FDIC is
appealing.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Controller Pleads Guilty to Helping Hide Fraud
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that more than three
years after Bernard Madoff's multibillion-dollar fraud came to
light, a former employee at the convicted Ponzi-scheme operator's
firm admitted to falsifying business records, which helped hide
the decades-long scam.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


BERNARD L MADOFF: Kingate Sues Deutsche Bank Over Sale of Claim
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Michael Rothfeld reports that hedge
funds Kingate Global Fund Ltd. and Kingate Euro Fund Ltd. filed a
lawsuit in New York federal court accusing a Deutsche Bank AG unit
of reneging on a $1 billion deal to buy their claims for losses in
Bernard L. Madoff's Ponzi scheme.  The lawsuit filed by Kingate
alleges that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. has been dragging its
feet since Aug. 24, when both parties signed a letter confirming
terms of its deal to purchase Madoff claims from Kingate.  The
lawsuit seeks a judgment stating that the confirmation letter is
binding and that Deutsche Bank hasn't negotiated in good faith.
The hedge funds alleged the value of the claims is down by more
than $90 million since late August.

The Journal says the lawsuit is a sign of the negative
consequences of recent court decisions against the trustee
overseeing the bankruptcy of Mr. Madoff's firm.  Courts have
handed down recently a series of unfavorable decisions to Irving
Picard that limit his ability to further recover money.  Those
decisions have pushed down the value of Madoff-related claims to
60 cents or less on the dollar, according to the lawsuit.  Such
claims traded near 75 cents about six months ago.

Richard I. Werder Jr., Esq., represents the Kingate funds.

The Journal notes the Kingate funds have been sued by Mr. Picard
for allegedly ignoring signs of the Ponzi scheme.  The Deutsche
Bank deal would allow the funds to complete a legal settlement
with Mr. Picard and distribute some money to its own investors,
the Kingate lawsuit says.

Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly, International Surf
resorts, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on Dec. 4, 2006, to operate as an internet-based provider
of international surf resorts, camps and guided surf tours.  The
Company proposed to engage in the business of vacation real estate
and rentals related to its surf business and it owns the website
isurfresorts.com.  During late February 2011, the Company began to
explore alternatives to its original business plan.  On Feb. 22,
2011, the prior officers and directors resigned from their
positions and the Company appointed a new President, Director,
principal accounting officer and treasurer and began to pursue
opportunities in medical and pharmaceutical technologies and
products.  On March 1, 2011, the Company changed its name to
Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Since March 2011, the Company has been engaged primarily in
seeking opportunities related to its intention to engage in
medical and pharmaceutical businesses.  On May 16, 2011, the
Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all
of the liabilities of Aero Pharmaceuticals, Inc., pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of that date.  Aero manufactures
markets and distributes a line of dermatological products under
the trade name of Baker Cummins Dermatologicals.

which operates as a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of over-
the-counter drugs and preparations, cosmetics, and nutritional
supplements on behalf of health care product marketing companies
and national retailers.

BioZone as of Oct. 29, 2011, is in default with respect to eleven
senior secured convertible promissory notes issued to various
accredited investors with an aggregate principal amount of
$2,250,000 due to the fact that the Company has not paid the
amount due on maturity.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$10.70 million in total assets, $10.88 million in total
liabilities, and a $177,712 total shareholders' deficiency.

"Our current balances of cash will not meet our working capital
and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months.  In
addition, as of September 30, 2011, we have a shareholder
deficiency of $177,712 and negative working capital of $1,740,163.
Because we are not currently generating sufficient cash to fund
our operations and we have debt that is in default, we may need to
rely on external financing to meet future operating, debt
repayment and capital requirements.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern."

CAGLE'S INC: Proposes $250,000 in Bonuses for 13 Workers
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Cagle's Inc. is proposing an incentive bonus program
that could cost as much as $250,000.  Cagle's designated the bonus
pool for three executives and 10 other employees. The bonuses
would range between $5,000 and $60,000 a person. To qualify for a
bonus, revenue must meet the target in the agreement with lenders
funding the Chapter 11 case. No members of the Cagle family will
be eligible for bonuses, the papers say.

CANO PETROLEUM: Hein & Associates Resigns as Accountants
--------------------------------------------------------
Hein & Associates LLP notified Cano Petroleum, Inc., that it was
resigning as Cano's independent accounting firm, effective on
Dec. 13, 2011.  Hein issued reports dated Sept. 22, 2010, and
Oct. 20, 2011, with respect to Cano's financial statements for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2011, respectively,
that stated that Cano's significant losses from operations and net
capital deficiency raised substantial doubt as to Cano's ability
to continue as a going concern.  Other than such going concern
qualifications, Hein's reports on Cano's financial statements for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010, did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not
otherwise qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.  Cano has had no disagreements with Hein on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.  Hein advised
the audit committee of Cano's board of directors that the
following material weaknesses in internal control existed as of
June 30, 2011:

   -- Cano's review of its valuation of commodity derivatives did
      not detect errors in the unrealized loss on commodity
      derivatives that resulted in a material audit adjustment to
      Cano's financial statements.

   -- Cano's review of certain other computations did not detect
      errors in those calculations that resulted in adjustments to
      its financial statements that were less than material, but
      important enough to merit attention by those responsible for
      Cano's financial reporting oversight.  The aggregate effect
      of this deficiency when combined with the material weakness
      constitutes a material weakness in internal control over
      financial reporting.

   -- Cano was unable to complete its internal control procedures
      over financial reporting in a sufficient amount of time to
      allow it to include its consolidated financial statements in
      its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
      June 30, 2011, and file it within the time periods specified
      in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission.

The audit committee of Cano's board of directors neither
recommended nor approved Hein's decision to resign.  The Audit
Committee is currently evaluating its options with respect to the
appointment of a new independent accounting firm.

                       About Cano Petroleum

Cano Petroleum, Inc., is an independent Texas-based energy
producer with properties in the mid-continent region of the United
States.  Cano's primary focus is on increasing domestic production
from proven fields using enhanced recovery methods.  Cano trades
on the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CFW.

The Company reported a net loss of $185.70 million on
$26.12 million of total operating revenues for the year ended
June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $11.54 million on
$22.85 million of total operating revenues during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed
$65.43 million in total assets, $118.80 million in total
liabilities, and a $53.36 million total stockholders' deficit.

Hein & Associates LLP, in Dallas, Texas, noted that the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net
capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.

                       Bankruptcy Warning

In the past, the Company's strategy had been to convert its
estimated proved undeveloped reserves into proved producing
reserves, improve operational efficiencies in its existing
properties and acquire accretive proved producing assets suitable
for secondary and enhanced oil recovery at low cost.  Due to the
Company's current financial constraints, including continued
losses, defaults under the Company's loan agreements and the
Company's Series D Preferred Stock, no available borrowing
capacity, constrained cash flow, negative working capital, and
limited to no other capital availability, the Company is reviewing
strategic alternatives which include the sale of the Company, the
sale of some or all of the Company's existing oil and gas
properties and assets, potential business combinations, debt
restructuring, including recapitalizing the Company, and
bankruptcy.  The Company continues to focus on cash management and
cost reduction efforts to improve both its cash flow from
operations and profitability.


CENTRAL EUROPEAN: Needs to Address Debt Load
--------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that faced with
tightening liquidity, Central European Distribution Corp. needs to
refinance a convertible bond that matures in early 2013 for some
breathing room, unless spirit sales in its main markets of Russia
and Poland recover and efforts to support the business
materialize, said analysts.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in early December 2011 lowered
its long-term corporate credit rating on U.S.-based Central
European, the parent company of Poland-based vodka manufacturer
CEDC International sp. z o.o., to 'B-' from 'B'.


CENTRAL FALLS, R.I.: Pensions Chopped, But Investors to Get Paid
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that retired firefighters and
police officers in Central Falls, R.I., agreed to cut their
pensions and support a plan that will give bondholders everything
they are owed by the struggling city.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 14, 2011, Dow
Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that the receiver running Central
Falls, R.I., is seeking bankruptcy-court approval of new labor
agreements struck with unions representing city workers, police
and firefighters, an essential step in the city's restructuring.

                         About Central Falls

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

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

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

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


CENTRAL FALLS, R.I.: Retirees Support Pension Cuts & Payment Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Michael Corkery reports that a majority
of the retired firefighters and police officers in Central Falls,
Rhode Island, agreed to cut their pensions and support a plan that
would likely pay bondholders in full.

The WSJ says the deal could spare Central Falls from a costly
legal battle with retirees, while giving bond investors more
clarity about the security of their investments.

Central Falls has about $20.5 million in bond debt and $47 million
in pension liabilities, according to state officials.

According to the WSJ, as of Dec. 19, 82 of about 130 Central Falls
workers had agreed to support the pension cuts, said Matthew
McGowan, Esq., a lawyer for about 100 police and fire retirees. A
minimum of 75 retirees had to support the proposed agreement.

The pension cuts will total 25% over the next five years for many
recipients.  According to the WSJ, Mr. McGowan said the retirees
backed the deal partly because the state director of revenue will
ask lawmakers to appropriate about $2.6 million to help them cope
with smaller pensions.  Without the state aid, the cuts would be
55% for some.

According to the report, state officials said the aid -- which
would be distributed to pensioners annually for the next five
years -- would give former Central Falls employees time to adjust
their lifestyles to meet lower pension payments.  Some pensions in
Central Falls have been cut to $12,000 a year from about $27,000 a
year.

"We have many strong legal arguments," Mr. McGowan said, according
to the WSJ.  "But in a practical sense, they don't get you very
far if the city has no money."

Before the city's financial collapse, Rhode Island lawmakers
passed a law that puts bondholders first in line among all
creditors of municipalities in the state.  The report notes the
retirees vowed not to challenge the state law as part of the
agreement.

The WSJ relates Theodore Orson, Esq., a lawyer for the state, said
the state-appointed receiver overseeing Central Falls is expected
in the next few days to ask a bankruptcy judge to approve the
agreement with retirees.

According to the WSJ, Central Falls has kept making its bond
payments since the bankruptcy filing.  But officials faced a
potential court fight from retired workers over pension cuts
sought as part of the bankruptcy.  The report relates some
officials said the deal would help Central Falls emerge from
bankruptcy in as soon as a year.

The WSJ notes the unusual arrangement is being watched closely by
municipal-bond investors and government officials across the U.S.
because it could be cloned in an effort to keep borrowing costs
from spiraling higher in municipalities near financially shaky
cities and counties.

CHINA TEL GROUP: To Acquire Serbian Broadband Operator Verat
------------------------------------------------------------
U.S.-based VelaTel Global Communications, formerly known as China
Tel Group, Inc., entered into a Business Cooperation Agreement
with the shareholders of Cyprus holding company Kerseyco Trading
Limited to acquire at least a 51% controlling interest in Kerseyco
and its Serbian operating subsidiary, VeratNet d.o.o.  The
transaction is expected to close in February 2012, in order to
allow sufficient time for VelaTel's auditors to conduct the work
needed to report the financial results of Kerseyco and its
subsidiary on VelaTel's consolidated financial statements going
forward.

Verat is one of the leading telecommunications operator and
internet service providers in Serbia, offering a full range of
telecommunication services, including ADSL broadband service
nationwide and wireless broadband access (WBA) in three cities
where it holds radio frequency licenses, including Belgrade,
Serbia's capital and largest city.  Verat also offers specialty
services to business customers, such as international private
leased circuit services, dedicated wireless internet lines, and
dedicated web server hosting.  Verat currently owns a data center,
a network core, and 11 base transceiver stations (BTS).  Verat has
more than 50 employees who serve more than 10,000 subscribers.

In exchange for its 51% equity stake, VelaTel will contribute
CAPEX and OPEX necessary to continue Verat's existing operations
and to upgrade Verat's existing WBA infrastructure equipment with
higher capacity equipment, which will more than double the
subscriber capacity of Verat's WBA network and allow Verat to add
new wireless customers.  The equipment, which has been already
manufactured by ZTE, will be part of the existing strategic
agreement that VelaTel has in place with ZTE.  Based on an
estimated equipment delivery date during March 2012, VelaTel
expects to complete the deployment of the new equipment during the
summer of 2012.  VelaTel very recently acquired companies with WBA
assets in the neighboring Balkan countries of Croatia and
Montenegro, and plans to deploy all three markets simultaneously,
which VelaTel projects will result in significant expense savings
and strategic synergies.

Under the parties' agreement, VelaTel has the opportunity to
expand its equity stake from 51% to 75% in exchange for a further
expansion of the WBA network to at least 50 BTS.  The potential
network expansion may occur as a result of subscriber growth
within Verat's existing license territory, or if Verat is awarded
WBA licenses covering additional geographic regions in Serbia.

CIRCLE ENTERTAINMENT: Borrows $900,000 from Directors, et al.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Certain of Circle Entertainment Inc.'s directors, executive
officers and greater than 10% stockholders made unsecured demand
loans to the Company totaling $900,000, bearing interest at the
rate of 6% per annum on December 15 through Dec. 16, 2011, .

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

                    About Circle Entertainment

Circle Entertainment Inc. (CEXE.PK), formerly FX Real Estate and
Entertainment Inc., owns 17.72 contiguous acres of land located at
the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue in
Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Las Vegas Property is currently occupied
by a motel and several commercial and retail tenants with a mix of
short and long-term leases.  On June 23, 2009, as a result of the
default under the first mortgage loan, the first lien lenders had
a receiver appointed to take control of the property.  The Company
is headquartered in New York City.

The Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010, that it has no current cash flow and cash on hand
as of Aug. 13, 2010, is not sufficient to fund its short-term
liquidity requirements, including its ordinary course obligations
as they come due.  On April 21, 2010, the Company's remaining Las
Vegas subsidiary, namely FX Luxury Las Vegas I, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada
(Case No. 10-17015).

The Company's Las Vegas subsidiary filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
on April 21, 2010, and a plan of liquidation or reorganization
will eventually be implemented under which the Company will
surrender ownership of the Las Vegas Property.  Under such a plan,
it is extremely unlikely the Company will receive any material
interest or benefit.

The Company reported net income of $346.81 million on $0 of
revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss
of $114.68 million on $0 of revenue during the prior year.  The
net profit generated in the year was primarily on account of a
$390.75 million gain from discharge of net assets due to
bankruptcy plan.  The Company's operating subsidiary sought
Chapter 11 protection last year.

As reported by the TCR on April 11, 2011, L.L. Bradford & Company,
LLC, in Las Vegas, Nevada, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has limited available cash, has a
working capital deficiency and will need to secure new financing
or additional capital in order to pay its obligations.

The Company also reported a net loss of $4.14 million on $0 of
revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a
net loss of $33.59 million on $0 of revenue for the same period
during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$4.62 million in total assets, $9.40 million in total liabilities,
and a $4.77 million total stockholders' deficit.


CITIZENS DEVELOPMENT: Plan Outline Hearing Scheduled for Jan. 13
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Laura S. Taylor the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of California has continued until Jan. 13, 2012,
at 10:00 a.m., the hearing to consider adequacy of the Disclosure
Statement explaining Citizens Development Corp., et al.'s Plan of
Reorganization.

Previously, the Debtor and Telesis Community Credit Union entered
into a stipulation regarding (1) the Disclosure Statement hearing;
and (2) the Debtor's use of any cash collateral in which Telesis
asserts a security interest.

The parties continue to discuss the settlement agreement and hope
to finalize and execute a settlement agreement in December 2011.
Pursuant to the progress made between the parties, and in order to
allow the parties adequate time to finalize the settlement
agreement and avoid litigation regarding the Debtor's Disclosure
Statement and use of cash collateral, the parties have agreed to:

   1. continue the Disclosure Statement hearing to Jan. 13,
   Telesis will have until Jan. 6, 2012, to object to the Debtor's
   Disclosure Statement; and

   2. the Debtor will be authorized to continue to use any cash
   collateral in which Telesis asserts a security interest until
   Jan. 31, pursuant to the terms of the Telesis cash collateral
   order.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 18, 2011,
according to the Disclosure Statement, the funding for the Plan
will come from a $250,000 new value contribution to be made by LDG
Golf Marketing, LLC; the $200,000 cash received by the estate
pursuant to the Symphony Settlement Agreement; and the Debtor's
unrestricted cash on hand which is estimated to be $50,000.  The
amount of funding collectively equates to $500,000.

In exchange for the new value contribution, the new investor will
receive 100% of the equity interests in the Reorganized Debtor.
The new investor is a newly formed limited liability company (LDG
Golf Marketing LLC) whose managing member is Christopher DiNofia
(who is a family member of the Debtor's principal Matthew C.
DiNofia, and a creditor of the Debtor's estate).  The new investor
will be funded by Chris DiNofia and Matthew C. DiNofia.

Under the Plan, general unsecured creditors will receive on the
Plan Effective Date an estimated cash payment of $50,000 which
will be funded from the exit cash.  They will also be entitled to
a distribution from any recoveries minus expenses obtained from
any avoidance actions brought by the Debtor or the Reorganized
Debtor.

All of the existing equity interests will be canceled.

CITY OF ORLANDO, FA: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Rating on Revenue Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the following bonds for the city of
Orlando, Florida (the city):

  -- $185 million senior lien tourist development tax (TDT)
     revenue bonds (sixth cent contract payments) series 2008A at
     'BB+';

  -- $33.4 million second lien TDT revenue bonds (sixth cent
     contract payments) series 2008B at 'B'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The TDT revenue bonds are limited obligations of the city secured
by the discrete trust estate, including pledged funds, for each
respective series of bonds.  Pledged funds include TDT revenues
provided from 50% of a one cent collected countywide and remitted
to the city according to an interlocal agreement, levied county-
wide on hotel stays, plus a fixed annual installment payment equal
to $2.8 million available through fiscal 2018.  Fitch does not
rate series 2008C bonds.  Each series of bonds is separately
secured by a liquidity reserve equal to 1/2 maximum annual debt
service (MADS) and a debt service reserve account (DSRA) equal to
1/2 MADS.

This decade has been the first since at least 1980 to show annual
declines in countywide TDT revenues, at 3.1% in fiscal 2001, 12.6%
in fiscal 2002, and 15.4% in fiscal 2009.  The recovery after the
recent economic decline has been solid and rapid, boosted
according to city officials by the opening of the Harry Potter
attraction at the Universal Theme Park.  TDT revenues have
increased a significant 23.6% since fiscal 2009.  This figure
includes proceeds of a confidential settlement between the county
and Expedia.com; adjusting for the estimated payment results in
still healthy growth of 17.3% since the recession.  Year-over-year
monthly revenue growth has been consistent since February 2010.

Some medium-term revenue stability is attributable to an annual
installment payment equal to $2.8 million, which is to be received
in monthly installments through November 15, 2018.  In bond year
2010 - 2011, the installment payments equalled 17% of pledged
revenues.

Revenue collections have historically been more robust in the
summer months.  Accordingly, the annual principal repayment is
scheduled for November.  Both on a historical and projected basis,
coverage has been narrower for the November dates, and Fitch rates
to these lower ratios rather than annualized debt service
coverage.

Debt service coverage for the senior lien series 2008A bonds is
expected to remain very slim.  TDT revenues provided 1.1x coverage
for the November 2010 payment, though the uptick in TDT
collections resulted in 1.2x coverage for the November 2011
payment.  Coverage for the May payments were higher at 1.5x in
2010 and 1.7x in 2011.  Modest TDT growth coupled with the
installment payment when applicable is necessary to cover debt
service without use of the liquidity reserve through at least
November 2020.  Under the Fitch base case scenario of 2.3% annual
growth, equal to the average annual growth since fiscal 2000, TDT
revenues would provide coverage for the November payment ranging
from 1.2x - 1.4x.  Were revenues to remain flat, sufficient
liquidity reserves would be available to avert default through at
least November 2020.

Fitch stress scenarios that mirror the revenue declines of the
past decade, followed by an anemic recovery and then baseline
growth, demonstrate that available liquidity reserves would need
to augment pledged revenues.  Revenue drops equal to 150% of
historical declines would result in a default by the end of this
decade.  The rating on the series 2008A bonds incorporates this
default risk.

For the subordinate lien series 2008B bonds, TDT revenues failed
to provide sum-sufficient coverage for the November, 2010 payment,
with actual coverage at 0.97x.  The liquidity reserve was drawn
for the remainder.  The subsequent year's revenue uptick resulted
in exceedingly slim 1.04x coverage in November 2011. Coverage for
the May payments was somewhat better but still slim at 1.2x in
2010 and 1.4x in 2011.  Under the Fitch base case scenario,
coverage from revenues alone would range from 1.0x - 1.1x for
November payments through 2020.  All of the Fitch stress scenarios
described above would result in a default of these bonds by 2016.

Both the series 2008A and the series 2008B have fully funded
liquidity reserves and DSRAs, each equal to ? of MADS. The
liquidity reserve was established to compensate for expected
fluctuations in TDT collections.  Use of the liquidity reserve
does not constitute a material event, and use of the DSRA does not
constitute a default.  The series 2008A liquidity reserve has been
fully funded since the middle of 2009, when it was replenished
subsequent to a draw to compensate for lower than anticipated
capitalized interest earnings.  The series 2008B liquidity reserve
was replenished this past July, with the payment of $392,000 of
construction proceeds that became available upon financially
closing and reconciling project costs. THE DSRA has not been
utilized for either series of bonds.

The one-cent TDT is a component of the total of the six cent TDT
that is levied county-wide for a variety of purposes.  Pledged
funds are allocated to each trust estate of the three series of
bonds according to a flow of funds with revenues distributed to
each trust estate according to the seniority of the series.

Legal provisions include a cross-default provision, which
stipulates that the default of one series of bonds under the
indenture is an event of default under all indentures.  It is
likely that a cross-default will occur during the life of the
bonds, given that average annual revenue growth of a strong 6.8%
is required to generate sufficient income to avoid default on the
series 2008C through 2020.

However, due to the protections that remain for series 2008A and
2008B bondholders, Fitch does not consider the likelihood of a
default on the series C bonds to be a negative credit
consideration.  Upon default, the flow of funds directs payment of
principal and interest to the holders of the series 2008A bonds
and subsequently to the owners of the 2008B bonds, prior to any
payments to third lien bondholders.  This differs from the current
flow of funds, which directs contract revenues to first-
installment interest payments for all three liens prior to any
principal payments.

Additional debt is prohibited under the indenture, except for
refundings. Additional bonds for refunding purposes may be issued
if, during any consecutive 12 of the previous 25 months, contract
revenues equaled at least 1.33x MADS on all existing and proposed
debt and 1.10x MADS on all senior and second-lien bonds. The
calculation excludes installment payment revenues.

The Orlando metropolitan statistical area (MSA) employment base is
dominated by the leisure and hospitality sector, which accounts
for 20% of all jobs (approximately two times the national
average).  Disney, located adjacent to the city of Orlando
(implied general obligations rated 'AAA' Stable Outlook by Fitch)
is the dominant player, employing more than 62,000 or 5.5% of the
MSA's labor force.  Universal Studios employs 13,000.  The tourism
sector is rebounding well, aided by the June 2010 opening of the
Harry Potter attraction at Universal, which has softened
additional declines in construction and financial activities.
Overall, Orange county has posted an employment gain of 1.3%
during the prior 12 months although unemployment remains high at
10.1% in September, compared to 10.6% in Florida and 8.8%
nationally.

Economic diversification continues to take hold, most notably
within the education and health services sectors.  A growing
biotechnology and life sciences cluster is anchored by The
University of Central Florida's (UCF) Health Sciences Campus,
which is home to its College of Medicine and the Burnett College
of Biomedical Sciences, in addition to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
and Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.  In addition,
opening in 2012 will be the Nemours Children's Hospital and a new
Veteran's Administration hospital.  Arden, Laffer & Moore
Econometrics estimates the creation of 30,000 jobs and $2.8
billion in annual wages by 2017 as a result of activity at the UCF
campus and the life sciences cluster.

Global Insight and Property and Portfolio Research forecast strong
job growth in 2012 through 2016 of 2.8% and 3.1% respectively, on
an average annual basis.  Unemployment is expected to remain
elevated relative to the nation due to anticipated population
gains.  Over the long term Fitch expects that Orlando's economy
will continue to grow and attract a wide variety of residents and
businesses.

CLEVELAND SPEEDWAY: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
--------------------------------------------------------------
Larry C. Bowers at Cleveland Daily Banner reports that Cleveland
Speedway Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 protection in bankruptcy
court in Chattanooga, Tennessee, blocking foreclosure auction to
sell the one-third-mile banked oval.

According to the report, Robert G. Norred Jr., who was appointed
successor trustee on a deed of trust on the property, had
published a legal notice in the Cleveland Daily Banner recently,
stating the property would be sold on Dec. 18, 2011, during a
foreclosure auction on the steps of the Bradley County Courthouse,
in Tennessee.

The report says that the note was secured by a deed of trust
recorded by Cleveland Speedway unto James S. Webb.

Richard Banks, Esq., represents the Company.

COMCAM INTERNATIONAL: SEC Suspended Stock Trading for 2 Weeks
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Securities and Exchange Commission suspended the trading of
ComCam International, Inc.'s common stock from Dec. 1, 2011, until
Dec. 14, 2011, in connection with parallel cases filed in federal
court against several individuals that allege the use of kickbacks
or other schemes to trigger investments in various thinly-traded
stocks.  The trading suspension was predicated on questions that
have arisen regarding the adequacy and accuracy of publicly
available information about the Company.

                     About ComCam International

West Chester, Pa.-based ComCam International, Inc. is both a
network solutions innovator and a provider of fusion technologies
for security products and modern networks.  The Company's
proprietary digital wireless camera systems and security
integration solutions address complex command-and-control
applications for rapid-deployment military situations, borders,
ports, airports, and detention facilities.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.35 million on $3.55 million
of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $430,648 on $24,086 of revenue during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $1.47 million on $2.75
million of net revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $1.07 million on $2.52 million of net
revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $1.71
million in total assets, $1.94 million in total liabilities and a
$228,902 total stockholders' deficit.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, the Company has negative working capital and
has incurred losses since inception.  These factors taken alone
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.  However, management is in the process of
procuring additional financing to expand marketing efforts and
product development, which actions, if successful, will enable the
Company to continue as a going concern.  Nevertheless, there can
be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available to the
Company to successfully pursue its marketing and product
development efforts.

DANNY'S FAMILY: Emerges From Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jan Buchholz, reporter at Phoenix Business Journal, reports that
Danny's Family Cos. has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a
reorganization plan that was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in Arizona.

According to the report, the plan provides for all vendors and
suppliers to be paid in full, plus interest.  The company has been
reorganized and its debt restructured to make it a more profitable
entity.

"Many of the suppliers we use are also Arizona businesses that
were hit hard by the recession and have struggled to stay afloat.
It was very important to me that we make good on our commitment to
take care of them," the report quotes Danny Hendon, founder and
CEO of Danny's, as saying.

The report says, as part of the reorganization plan, Mr. Hendon's
personal bankruptcy plan was also confirmed.  As a result, the
company will remain family-owned.

Danny's Family Companies LLC, which owns a chain of retail stores,
along with 11 affiliates, filed for Chapter 11 on March 4, 2010.
Another affiliate, Danny's Scottsdale & Shea, L.L.C., fka
Barcelona Restaurants IV, L.L.C., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection on Feb. 3, 2010 (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 10-02799).
Bert L. Roos, Esq., in Phoenix, Arizona, serves as the Debtors'
counsel.  Scottsdale & Shea estimated $1 million to $100 million
in assets and debts.

Daniel Hendon, himself, filed for personal chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 11-21164) on July 25, 2011,
disclosing about $317 million in debts and personal net worth of
$10.5 million, based on equity in the two homes.

The personal bankruptcy case was merged with 24 other Chapter 11
reorganization efforts filed by various Hendon-owned companies,
most of them in the first quarter of 2010.


DELPHI CORP: Hedge Funds Sue Firm, Backers Over $300M Payment
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that a handful of hedge
fund companies that specialize in buying up the distressed debt of
bankrupt businesses are suing Delphi Automotive PLC and some of
its biggest backers, claiming the newly public auto-parts supplier
is shortchanging them on a potential recovery of up to $300
million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Nov. 21,
2011, Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that Auto parts
maker Delphi Automotive PLC failed to gain traction with investors
during its IPO debut.  TCR reported that New York hedge fund
manager John Paulson plans to sell as much as $580 million in
stock of Delphi Automotive PLC in the auto parts maker's proposed
initial public offering, the only of its four biggest investors to
sell.

                       About Delphi Corp.

Based in Troy, Michigan, Delphi Corporation --
http://www.delphi.com/-- was a global supplier of electronics and
technologies for automotive, commercial vehicle and other market
segments.  Delphi operates major technical centers, manufacturing
sites and customer support facilities in 30 countries.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead
Case No. 05-44481) on Oct. 8, 2005.  John Wm. Butler Jr., Esq.,
John K. Lyons, Esq., and Ron E. Meisler, Esq., at Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, represented the Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  Robert J. Rosenberg, Esq., Mitchell A.
Seider, Esq., and Mark A. Broude, Esq., at Latham & Watkins LLP,
represented the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of
June 30, 2008, the Debtors' balance sheet showed US$9,162,000,000
in total assets and US$23,742,000,000 in total debts.

The Court confirmed Delphi's plan on Jan. 25, 2008.  The Plan
was not consummated after a group led by Appaloosa Management,
L.P., backed out from their proposal to provide US$2,550,000,000
in equity financing to Delphi.  At the end of July 2009, Delphi
obtained confirmation of a revised plan, build upon a sale of the
assets to a entity formed by some of the lenders who provided
$4 billion of debtor-in-possession financing, and General Motors
Company.

On Oct. 6, 2009, Delphi Corp.'s Chapter 11 plan of reorganization
became effective.  A Master Disposition Agreement executed among
Delphi Corporation, Motors Liquidation Company, General Motors
Company, GM Components Holdings LLC, and DIP Holdco 3, LLC,
divides Delphi's business among three separate parties -- DPH
Holdings LLC, GM Components, and DIP Holdco 3.

Delphi emerged from Chapter 11 as DPH Holdings.  DPH Holdings is
responsible for the post-Effective Date administration and
eventual closing of the Chapter 11 cases as well as the
disposition of certain retained assets and payment of certain
retained liabilities as provided under the Modified Plan.

Delphi Automotive PLC is UK-based company formed in May 2011 as a
holding company for US-based automotive parts manufacturer Delphi
Automotive LLP.  Delphi Automotive LLP is the successor to the

DEWITT REHABILITATION: Files Plan, Disclosure Statement
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that DeWitt Rehabilitation & Nursing Center Inc. filed a
proposed reorganization plan this week promising to pay unsecured
creditors at least 30% on their $18.6 million in claims.  There
will be a Jan. 25 hearing for approval of the explanatory
disclosure statement.

The report relates that the plan proposes to pay the $5.5 million
claim of the Internal Revenue Service over five years with
interest.  Marilyn Lichtman, who owns the nursing home business
and the building, will defer 25% of the $40,000 monthly rental
until all payments are made under the plan.  In return for rent
concessions, Ms. Lichtman will own the nursing home business when
it emerges from Chapter 11.  Unsecured creditors are being offered
15% in cash on confirmation, with another 15% paid in
installments.  Unsecured creditors will also be entitled to
receive a portion of excess cash flow.

According to the report, secured lenders Metropolitan National
Bank and Israel Discount Bank, with liens on all assets to cover
$10 million owing on a term loan according to an earlier court
filing, will receive a $236,500 payment each month, with the debt
maturing in November 2014.  The disclosure statement says the
maturing debt creates a risk the remainder of the plan payments
won't be made.  The $1.1 million owing to the union pension fund
will be paid in full, although the disclosure statement says the
claim is "subject to further evaluation."

                    About Dewitt Rehabilitation

New York-based DeWitt Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs a
499-bed nursing home on East 79th Street in Manhattan.  The
nursing home is owned by Marilyn Lichtman, who has been the
operator since the facility opened in 1967.

DeWitt Rehabilitation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-10253) on Jan. 25, 2011.  Marc A.
Pergament, Esq., at Weinberg, Gross & Pergament, LLP, serves as
the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.  The Debtor estimated its assets
at up to $50,000 and debts at $10 million to $50 million.


DETROIT, MI: State treasurer Calls for Financial-Review Team
------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Dolan, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reports that
Michigan's treasurer called for a financial-review team to examine
Detroit's troubled finances, another step toward a potential
takeover of the city by a state-appointed manager.

WSJ relates state officials insist no decision has been made to
appoint a manager for Detroit.  Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and
members of his administration have expressed frustration that
Mayor Dave Bing, the city council and unions representing city
workers have failed to agree on a plan to stave off a fiscal
disaster.

The Journal says the move Wednesday will ratchet up pressure on
the city's mayor and unions, who are negotiating over $40 million
in proposed spending cuts to prevent the city from running out of
cash by the spring.  It could also fuel opposition to the state's
strengthened emergency-manager law, which is being challenged in a
repeal campaign.

According to WSJ, Michigan's stronger emergency-manager law,
enacted this year, gives a state-appointed manager powers to
nullify labor contracts and take other actions to help a city's
finances.  Critics of the law call it undemocratic and are seeking
to get the law tabled until a November 2012 referendum aimed at
repealing it.

The Journal relates a more informal, two-week state review earlier
this month found Detroit hadn't filed adequate plans to reduce its
deficit. The financial-review team, to be appointed by the
governor, will take up to 90 days to detail how financially
strapped the city is.  The governor would then decide whether to
take no action, to craft a consent decree with the city's
leadership whereby a plan would be agreed on to improve Detroit's
finances, or to appoint an emergency manager.

Detroit, the 18th-largest city in the U.S., has a deficit of $155
million in its current fiscal year, the Journal notes.


DRINKS AMERICAS: Inks Forbearance Agreement on $4-Mil. Debenture
----------------------------------------------------------------
Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd., on June 19, 2009, sold to one
accredited investor a $4,000,000 non-interest bearing debenture
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement.  The Company's
obligations under the Debenture and the SPA were secured by a
Pledge Agreement.

On Dec. 13, 2011, the Company and the Investor entered into a
Forbearance Agreement whereby the Investor agreed to forbear from
enforcing the Investor's remedial rights under the Loan Documents
until Jan. 1, 2013.  Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the
Debenture will remain in full force and effect and, as a result of
certain defaults under the Loan Documents, the outstanding amount
owed under the Debenture, including interest, fees, penalties and
legal fees, was agreed to be no less than $2,000,000, with
interest, fees and penalties continuing to accrue.
Notwithstanding the Debenture Balance, the Company and the
Investor agreed to a payoff balance of $1,126,360, which
Forbearance Amount will accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum,
commencing on Dec. 13, 2011.  So long as the Company complies with
the terms of the Forbearance Agreement and no further defaults
occur under the Loan Documents, the Company's obligation will be
entirely satisfied upon due payment of the Forbearance Amount in
accordance with the following schedule of fixed cash payments:

   -- $285,360 upon execution of the Forbearance Agreement, which
      payment was made on Dec. 13, 2011;

   -- $50,000 to be paid on or before March 1, 2012;

   -- $283,000 to be paid on or before June 1, 2012;

   -- $50,000 to be paid on or before Sept. 1, 2012;

   -- $50,000 to be paid on or before Nov. 1, 2012; and

   -- $408,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest to be paid on
      or before Jan. 1, 2013.

Furthermore, in the event the Company is able to pay the entire
Forbearance Amount, less $100,000, on or before June 30, 2012, the
remaining $100,000 will be discounted from the Forbearance Amount
due.  On Oct. 5, 2011, the Company paid the Investor $50,000.00
and shortly thereafter a final issuance of 19,320,000 shares of
Common Stock which payment and issuance were credited to the
Debenture Balance and the Forbearance Amount and were reflected in
the amounts owed under the Debenture Balance and the Forbearance
Amount.

In the event that the Company does not comply with all of its
obligations or a default occurs under the Forbearance Agreement or
the Loan Documents, the outstanding balance under the Debenture
will be deemed to be the Debenture Balance with all accrued
interest, fees and penalties, less any payments made in accordance
with the payment schedule.  In the event of a Future Default, the
Investor will have a right to convert all or part of the Debenture
Balance for shares of Common Stock.  Accordingly, the Company
agreed to reserve 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance
to the lender upon such conversion.  In addition, the Company
entered into an Escrow Agreement whereby the Company agreed to
deliver 100,000,000 shares to be held in escrow.  In the event of
certain defaults under the Forbearance Agreement or the Debenture,
the Investor will have the right to receive the Forbearance
Conversion Shares, which right was memorialized in that certain
letter containing Irrevocable Instructions to Transfer Agent,
dated Dec. 13, 2011.  Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the
Company also consented to a Judgment by Confession whereby the
Company agreed to allow a court of proper jurisdiction to enter a
Judgment against the Company in favor of the Investor.

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI: Issues $10MM Debt Thru Private Placement
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Michael Corkery reports that the city of
East Providence, Rhode Island, on Dec. 15 issued $10 million in
debt through a private placement with Bank of America Corp. rather
than tap the public bond market, partly because of its low credit
rating.  A bank spokeswoman declined to comment.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 14, 2011,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded to Ba1 from Baa1 the city of
East Providence's general obligation bond rating, affecting
roughly $22.4 million in outstanding debt.  The bonds are secured
by a general obligation unlimited tax pledge.

Moody's also downgraded the Rhode Island Health and Education
Building Corporation Bond Issue, Series 2007C to Baa2 from A2, of
which East Providence's portion represents 8.4%.

Both ratings remain under review for possible downgrade.

According to Moody's, the downgrade reflects East Providence's
ongoing financial strain, compounded by the growing accumulated
deficit in the school unrestricted fund; a heavy reliance on cash
flow borrowing; and increasing fixed costs related to pension and
OPEB liabilities.  The downgrade also incorporates the recent
appointment of a fiscal overseer by the state, which signals the
severity of the city's fiscal challenges.

During the review, which Moody's anticipates completing within the
next 90 days, Moody's will evaluate the city's fiscal 2012 cash
flow projections, its success in addressing its accumulated
deficit, and its ability to produce a structurally balanced fiscal
2012 budget.

EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS: DJD Group Owns 187,416 Common Shares
----------------------------------------------------------
In a Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, DJD Group LLLP and Don DeFosset disclosed that, as of
Dec. 12, 2011, they beneficially own 76,810 shares of preferred
Stock and 187,416 shares of common stock of Emmis Communications
Corporation representing 2.94% and 0.56% of the outstanding
preferred and common shares.  A full-text copy of the filing is

                     About Emmis Communications

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Emmis Communications
Corporation -- http://www.emmis.com/-- owns and operates 22 radio
stations serving New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis,
Austin, Indianapolis, and Terre Haute, as well as national radio
networks in Slovakia and Bulgaria.  The company also publishes six
regional and two specialty magazines.

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

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

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

                           *     *     *

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

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

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

   from the lease of space in a real property commonly known as
   the first National Center located at 120 N. Robinson Avenue in
   Oklahoma City, to maintain the property and pay operating
   expenses relating to the property;

FULTON SCIENCE: Fitch Cuts Ratings on Two Bond Series to 'BB-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgrades to 'BB-' from 'BBB' the rating on
following series of bonds issued by the Development Authority of
Alpharetta, Georgia on behalf of Fulton Science Academy (FSA):

  -- $18,930,000 Development Authority of Alpharetta (Georgia)
     educational facilities revenue bonds (FSA Project), series
     2011A;

  -- $350,000 Development Authority of Alpharetta (Georgia)
     educational facilities revenue bonds (FSA Project), taxable
     series 2011B.

In addition, Fitch places the bonds on Rating Watch Negative.

Joint and several general obligation of Fulton Science Academy,
Inc. (Fulton Science Academy Middle School, or the middle school),
Fulton Educational Services, Inc. (Fulton Science Academy High
School, or the high school), and Fulton Sunshine Academy (Fulton
Science Academy Elementary School, or the elementary school;
collectively with the middle school and high school, the borrowers
or the schools), payable from all legally available revenues and
secured by a first mortgage lien on the new campus.

The downgrade to 'BB-' reflects Fitch's heightened concerns
regarding Fulton Science Academy Middle School's (FSAMS) ability
to effectively manage the charter renewal process; a fundamental
credit characteristic of investment grade ratings in this sector.
Last week, Fulton County School District's (FCSD, the local
charter authorizer) superintendent recommended that the FCSD board
deny FSAMS' current petition to renew its charter, expiring June
30, 2012.  Fitch views recent events as a significant, rapid and
unexpected deterioration in the authorizer relationship.  This
level of uncertainty over the charter renewal is more reflective
of a 'BB-' rating.

The Rating Watch Negative reflects Fitch's concern that the FSAMS
charter may not be renewed. The FCSD board is scheduled to vote on
the renewal petition this evening (December 20).  Based on
discussions with FCSD and FSAMS staff, Fitch believes rejection of
the petition is a real possibility.  In that event, FSAMS' charter
would be scheduled to expire on June 30, 2012.

Fitch notes that on a consolidated basis, the borrowers generated
solid debt service coverage in fiscal 2011 and academic
performance generally exceeds state and district averages.
However, these factors, which drive enrollment trends, do not
fully offset the real possibility of failed renewal given the
increasingly volatile and combative relationship with FCSD.

In research published on Sept. 15, 2011, Fitch identified the
mixed relationship between FSAMS and the local charter authorizer,
Fulton County School District (FCSD) as a key credit driver.
Based on extensive discussions with management and FCSD staff at
the time, Fitch concluded that the above-average charter renewal
risk, offset by financial and operational strengths of the
schools, was consistent with the 'BBB' rating.  Fitch believed
that overall relations had improved since 2009 when FCSD approved
the high school charter despite the staff's opposing
recommendation.

However, on Tuesday, December 13, FCSD's superintendent made a
formal recommendation that the FCSD board deny FSAMS' petition for
renewal of their charter.  The recommendation cites two specific
deficiencies with FSAMS' petition.  First that the petition is for
a 10 year charter term rather than FCSD's preference for a three-
year term; second, that the petition requests a blanket waiver
from Title 20 (state public school regulations) while FCSD
determined several years ago that it would only grant waivers of
specific portions of Title 20.

FSAMS' governing board provided Fitch with a written response to
the formal recommendation.  In that response, the governing board
indicates its concerns regarding FCSD's proposed three-year
charter renewal, and its reasoning for requesting broad
flexibility under Title 20.  In its renewal petition, FSAMS
specifically requests the continuation of the 'broad flexibility,
including all permissible waivers from Title 20', which its
current charter contract allows.

Since last week, both FSAMS and FCSD's superintendent have been
engaged in a very public dispute about the impasse.  FSAMS parents
have participated in public meetings held by several FCSD board
members over the past few days.  On Monday December 19, the FCSD
superintendent (who is also an ex-officio FCSD board member) held
a press briefing reiterating his position recommending rejection
of the current renewal petition. Fitch believes both parties
continue to negotiate and an 11th-hour agreement is still
possible.

Fitch will monitor the outcome of tonight's FCSD vote on FSAMS'
charter renewal petition.  In the event the board rejects the
petition, FSAMS' statutory alternatives are unclear.  FSAMS staff
intends to resubmit their petition to FCSD.  Fitch notes that FCSD
and state department of education staff indicated that a
resubmitted petition may not receive final approval before the
current charter's expiration.

Another option would be to apply for status as a state chartered
special school.  Such status would substantially reduce FSAMS'
funding and threaten the borrowers' ability to meet debt service
obligations.  Fitch will assess FSAMS' next steps.  If the school
is unable to file a revised petition that would allow it to remain
open after June 30, 2012, further negative rating action is highly
likely.

GENERAL GROWTH: Expects to Close Rouse Spinoff January 12
---------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that General Growth
Properties Inc. expects to complete its planned spinoff of Rouse
Properties Inc. on Jan. 12 and has set the distribution rate.

General Growth's board of directors announced approval of the
spin-off of its subsidiary, Rouse Properties, Inc.

The spin-off will be completed through a pro rata taxable dividend
of voting common stock of Rouse Properties held by GGP on
Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012 to GGP stockholders of record as of the
close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday,
Dec. 30, 2011.  On the Distribution Date, for every share of GGP
common stock owned as of the Record Date, GGP stockholders will
receive approximately 0.0375 shares of Rouse Properties' common
stock representing a distribution ratio of 1:26.66.  Approximately
35.5 million shares of Rouse Properties' common stock are expected
to be outstanding immediately following the spin-off.  The
distribution of these shares will be made in book-entry form,
which means no physical share certificates will be issued.

Rouse Properties filed an amendment to its Registration Statement
on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Exhibit
99.1 to the Form 10 includes information about Rouse Properties'
financial results, business and strategy, and other important
information.

As previously disclosed in the Form 10, Rouse Properties had
historical core net operating income of approximately $113.1
million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011.  As further
discussed in the Form 10, this amount does not represent a
complete measure of Rouse Properties' anticipated results as a
stand-alone public company once the spin-off is completed.

On the Distribution Date, Rouse Properties is expected to have
approximately $1.16 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted
average interest rate of approximately 5.6% comprised of
approximately $724.0 million of existing mortgage debt and a new
three year senior secured term loan of approximately $433.5
million.  The senior secured term loan will be provided by a
syndicate of lenders with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, RBC Capital
Markets, LLC, and U.S. Bank National Association as joint lead
arrangers.  The senior secured facility also includes a revolving
credit facility in the amount of $50 million.  In addition, Rouse
Properties finalized the terms of a three and a half year
subordinated unsecured revolving credit facility with an affiliate
of Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. that will provide borrowings
on a revolving basis of up to $100 million.

Rouse Properties entered into a standby purchase agreement with an
affiliate of Brookfield relating to the previously announced
rights offering that Rouse Properties plans to commence following
the completion of the spin-off, pursuant to which Brookfield has
agreed to purchase at the rights offering price of $15.00 per
share (i) its pro rata share of the common stock of Rouse
Properties and (ii) any remaining shares of Rouse Properties
common stock not otherwise subscribed for in the rights offering.

           Additional Information About The Spin-Off

No fractional shares of Rouse Properties common stock will be
issued.  Fractional shares of Rouse Properties common stock to
which GGP stockholders of record would otherwise be entitled will
be aggregated and, after the distribution, sold in the public
market by the distribution agent.  The aggregate net cash proceeds
will be distributed ratably to those holders of record who would
otherwise have received fractional shares of Rouse Properties
common stock.

GGP intends to report the distribution of Rouse Properties common
stock (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) as a taxable
dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, therefore, the
distribution of Rouse Properties common stock is expected to
satisfy a portion of GGP's 2011 and 2012 REIT taxable income
distribution requirements.

Following the spin-off, GGP's common stock will continue to trade
on the NYSE under the symbol GGP.  Rouse Properties intends to
have its common stock listed on the NYSE under the symbol "RSE".
An information statement concerning the details regarding the
distribution of Rouse Properties common stock and its business and
management following the spin-off will be mailed to GGP
stockholders prior to the distribution date.

GGP shares will continue to trade "regular way" on the NYSE under
the symbol "GGP" through and after the Jan. 12, 2012 Distribution
Date.  Any holders of shares of GGP common stock who sell GGP
common stock "regular way" on or before Jan. 12, 2012, will also
sell their right to receive shares of Rouse Properties common
stock.  In addition, it is anticipated that GGP common stock will
trade ex-distribution (without the right to receive shares of
Rouse Properties common stock) on or about Dec. 28, 2011, and
continue through the Distribution Date under the symbol "GGP WI".
Investors are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors
regarding the specific implications of buying or selling GGP
common stock on or before the Distribution Date.

A "when-issued" public trading market for Rouse Properties common
stock is expected to begin on or about Dec. 28, 2011 on the NYSE
under the symbol "RSE WI" and will continue through the
Distribution Date.  GGP also anticipates "regular way" trading of
Rouse Properties common stock under the symbol "RSE" will begin on
Friday, Jan. 13, 2012, the first trading day following the
Distribution Date.  Before the spin-off, GGP and Rouse Properties
will enter into a separation agreement and various other
agreements related to the spin-off.

The distribution of Rouse Properties common stock is subject to
the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, but
not limited to, the Form 10 being declared effective by the SEC,
Rouse Properties' common stock being accepted for listing on the
NYSE, the senior secured credit facility and subordinated
revolving credit facility being in full force and effect and funds
being available there under on the Distribution Date, and the
other conditions described in the Information Statement included
in the Form 10.  GGP and Rouse Properties fully expect all
conditions to the spin-off will be satisfied on or before the
Distribution Date. However, in order to ensure that GGP satisfies
its remaining REIT taxable income distribution requirements for
2011, in the event the conditions to the spin-off are not
satisfied on or before the Distribution Date, GGP will not
distribute the shares of Rouse Properties common stock on Jan. 12,
2012, but will instead pay a special cash dividend on Tuesday,
Jan. 17, 2012, to GGP's stockholders of record as of the close of
business of the NYSE on Friday, Dec. 30, 2011.

letter agreement dated Oct. 16, 2011, by and among Grubb & Ellis
Company, C-III Investments LLC and ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC,
on Dec. 15, 2011, the "Exclusivity Period" was extended until and

the existing terms and conditions of the Credit Facility, as
amended by Credit Facility Amendment No. 2.

GUIDED THERAPEUTICS: Obtains Marketing Approval for LuViva
----------------------------------------------------------
Guided Therapeutics, Inc., announced that Health Canada has
granted marketing approval for the LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan.

The approval by Health Canada provides LuViva access to the United
States' largest trading partner and to other markets that
recognize Canadian device approval.

"Receiving Health Canada marketing approval for LuViva is a
significant milestone for the product and the company," said Mark
L. Faupel, Ph.D., CEO and president of Guided Therapeutics, Inc.
"We are in discussions with potential distributors in Canada and
expect this approval to advance the process.  Additionally, the
Health Canada approval helps to jumpstart and support the
regulatory process in some Latin America and Southeast Asian
countries."

Each year, about 5.7 million women in Canada undergo Pap test
screening for cervical cancer, with as many as 400,000 receiving
an abnormal Pap result.  These women are then scheduled for a
follow-up exam, called a colposcopy, which typically includes a
biopsy.  The wait times for colposcopy examinations in Canada are
two to six months.  LuViva is designed to reduce wait times and
provide results immediately at the point of care.

"We believe that LuViva has the potential to bring a new level of
efficiency to women's healthcare in Canada and improve the
standard of care by providing immediate results with a painless,
one-minute test," said Dr. Faupel.

LuViva scans the cervix with light to identify cancer and pre-
cancer painlessly and non-invasively.  Guided Therapeutics'
patented biophotonic technology is able to distinguish between
normal and diseased tissue by detecting changes at the cellular
level.  Unlike Pap or human papillomavirus (HPV) tests, LuViva
does not require laboratory analysis or a tissue sample.

The Health Canada application was filed under the former name,
"LightTouch" and will be amended to reflect the name change to
LuViva.

Guided Therapeutics appointed Eurosurgical Ltd as the exclusive
distributor of the LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan in the United
Kingdom.

"We are very pleased to have Eurosurgical as our LuViva partner in
the United Kingdom," said Mark L. Faupel, Ph.D., CEO and president
of Guided Therapeutics, Inc.  "Eurosurgical is a leading U.K.
distributor within the gynaecology industry.  While a number of
distributors were eager to carry LuViva, Eurosurgical impressed us
with its market reach and strong reputation.  We believe that
Eurosurgical is ideally positioned to propel LuViva to become the
gold standard of care for cervical disease detection in the U.K."

"With more than 20 years of experience in women's healthcare,
Eurosurgical is known for bringing new products and cost-saving
innovations to the medical community.  We believe LuViva will be
an excellent addition to our gynaecology product offerings," said
George Cranstone, chairman of Eurosurgical Ltd.

In the United Kingdom, LuViva is initially intended as a follow-up
test after a positive Pap test. Today, approximately 400,000 U.K.
women annually are referred to more than 170 institutions for a
follow-up or colposcopy examination, which often involves a biopsy
of the cervix.  Based on its clinical trial results, LuViva could
eliminate approximately 40 percent of unnecessary follow-up
procedures and could identify serious cervical disease up to two
years earlier than the standard of care.

                     About Guided Therapeutics

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC BB and OTC QB: GTHP)
-- http://www.guidedinc.com/-- is developing a rapid and painless
test for the early detection of disease that leads to cervical
cancer.  The technology is designed to provide an objective result
at the point of care, thereby improving the management of cervical
disease.  Unlike Pap and HPV tests, the device does not require a
painful tissue sample and results are known immediately.  GT has
also entered into a partnership with Konica Minolta Opto to
develop a non-invasive test for Barrett's Esophagus using the
LightTouch technology platform.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.84 million on $3.36 million
of contract and grant revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $6.21 million on $1.55 million of
contract and grant revenue during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $3.88 million on $2.70
million of service revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $2.56 million on $2.30 million
of service revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$2.84 million in total assets, $5 million in total liabilities,
and a $2.16 million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported by the TCR on April 4, 2011, UHY LLP, in Atlanta,
Georgia, noted that the Company's recurring losses from
operations, accumulated deficit and lack of working capital raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

$4.53 million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported by the TCR on April 7, 2011, Rose, Snyder & Jacobs, in
Encino, Calif., expressed substantial doubt about MMRGlobal's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company has incurred significant operating losses

HANMI FINANCIAL: To Effect a 1-for-8 Reverse Stock Split
--------------------------------------------------------
Hanmi Financial Corporation filed an amendment to its Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split
of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share.  The reverse
stock split, which was approved by Hanmi's stockholders at its
annual meeting of stockholders held on Aug. 17, 2011, will be
effective with respect to stockholders of record as of the close
of business on Dec. 16, 2011.  At the Effective Time, every eight
shares of Hanmi's pre-split common stock will automatically be
consolidated into one share of Hanmi's post-split common stock.

"The reverse stock split is an important step in making our common
stock more attractive to institutional investors and reducing
administrative costs related to the large number of shares issued
and outstanding," said Jay S. Yoo, President and Chief Executive
Officer,

It is expected that Hanmi's common stock will begin trading on a
split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ Global Select Market at the
opening of trading on Dec. 19, 2011.  Hanmi's common stock will
continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the
symbol "HAFC" with the letter "D" added to the end of the trading
symbol for a period of 20 trading days to indicate that the
reverse stock split has occurred. Following the 20 day period, the
ticker symbol will revert to "HAFC."  In addition, Hanmi's common
stock will also trade under a new CUSIP number (410495204).

No fractional shares of Hanmi's post-split common stock will be
issued as a result of the reverse stock split.  Instead, a
stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a
fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will
receive a rounded up share of Hanmi's post-split common stock for
such fractional share.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common
stock outstanding from approximately 251.9 million shares to
approximately 31.5 million shares.  The number of authorized
shares of common stock will be reduced from 500,000,000 to
62,500,000.  Proportional adjustments will also be made to the
conversion or exercise rights under Hanmi's outstanding stock
options, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to
purchase or receive shares of common stock so that the reverse
stock split will not materially affect any of the rights of
holders of those securities.

Stockholders with certificated shares of pre-split common stock
will be required to exchange their stock certificates for new
stock certificates representing the appropriate number of shares
of post-split common stock resulting from the reverse stock split.
Hanmi's exchange and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company,
N.A., will mail a letter of transmittal to registered stockholders
holding certificated shares with instructions on how to complete
the exchange.  The number of shares of Hanmi's common stock held
in book entry form will be adjusted to reflect the reverse stock
split ratio without any action on the part of the stockholders
holding such shares in book entry form.

                      About Hanmi Financial

Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Hanmi Financial Corp.
(Nasdaq: HAFC) -- http://www.hanmi.com/-- is the holding company
for Hanmi Bank, a state chartered bank with headquarters located
at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, in Los Angeles.
Hanmi Bank provides services to the multi-ethnic communities of
California, with 27 full-service offices in Los Angeles, Orange,
San Bernardino, San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Diego counties,
and a loan production office in Washington State.

The Company reported a net loss of $88.01 million on
$144.51 million of total interest and dividend income for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $122.27 million
on $184.14 million during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$2.68 billion in total assets, $2.48 billion in total liabilities,
and $203.20 million in total stockholders' equity.

                           Going Concern

The Company is required by federal regulatory authorities to
maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations.
Hanmi Bank is also required to increase its capital and maintain
certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified
in a Final Order issued by the California Department of Financial
Institutions.  By July 31, 2010, the Bank was required to increase
its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100
million and maintain a ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to
total tangible assets of at least 9.0%.

In addition, the Bank was also required to maintain a ratio of
tangible stockholders' equity to total tangible assets of at least
9.5 percent at Dec. 31, 2010 and until the Final Order is
terminated.

As a result of the successful completion of the registered rights
and best efforts offering in July 2010, the capital contribution
requirement set forth in the Final Order was satisfied.  However,
the tangible capital ratio requirement set for in the Final Order
has not been satisfied at Dec. 31, 2010. Further, should the
Company's asset quality continue to erode and require significant
additional provision for credit losses, resulting in added future
net operating losses at the Bank, or should the Company otherwise
fail to be profitable, the Company's capital levels will
additionally decline requiring the raising of more capital than
the amount currently required to satisfy the Company' agreements
with its regulators.

The Company said an inability to raise additional capital when
needed or comply with the terms of the Final Order or the Written
Agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm in
their audit report for fiscal year 2010 has expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Continued operations may depend on the Company's ability to comply
with the regulatory orders the Company is subject to.


HARRISBURG, PA: Receiver Seeks More Time to File Recovery Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mark Shade, writing for Reuters, reports that David Unkovic, who
was appointed three weeks ago as receiver for the city of
Harrisburg, has petitioned the Commonwealth Court in Pennsylvania
to give him an additional 30 days to submit his recovery plan for
Harrisburg, which would give him until early February, if
approved.

Reuters relates the receiver initially faced a barrage of
criticism, particularly regarding his past relationships with
large creditors of the city.  However, he appears to be converting
critics while maintaining his pledge that everyone will feel pain
when he unveils his recovery plan for the city.

According to Reuters, Mr. Unkovic, 57, was applauded by 150 people
who visited a city bookstore Monday evening to hear what he had to
say about his work in developing that plan.

Reuters relates Mr. Unkovic said he plans to stay on as receiver
only as long as it takes to turn around the city.  Mr. Unkovic has
created a Web site -- http://www.pa.gov/harrisburgreceiver-- to
give people a chance to share ideas about how to get the city out
of debt.

                  About Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

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

The Harrisburg city council voted 4-3 on Oct. 11, 2011, to
authorize the filing of a Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy (Bankr.
M.D. Pa. Case No. 11-06938).  The city claims to be insolvent,
unable to pay its debt and in imminent danger of having
tax revenue seized by holders of defaulted bonds.

Judge Mary D. France presided over the Chapter 9 case.  Mark D.
Schwartz, Esq. -- markschwartz6814@gmail.com -- and David A.
Gradwohl, Esq., served as Harrisburg's counsel.  The petition
estimated $100 million to $500 million in assets and debts.  Susan
Wilson, the city's chairperson on Budget and Finance, signed the
petition.

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

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the County of Dauphin, and
Harrisburg city mayor Linda D. Thompson and other creditors and
interested parties objected to the Chapter 9 petition.  The state
later adopted a new law allowing the governor to appoint a

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was Neal D. Colton, Esq., Jeffrey
G. Weil, Esq., Eric L. Scherling, Esq., at Cozen O'Connor.

In November 2011, the Bankruptcy Judge dismissed the Chapter 9
case because (1) the City Council did not have the authority under
the Optional Third Class City Charter Law and the Third Class City
Code to commence a bankruptcy case on behalf of Harrisburg and (2)
the City was not specifically authorized under state law to be a
debtor under Chapter 9 as required by 11 U.S.C. Sec. 109(c)(2).

That same month, the state governor appointed David Unkovic as
receiver for Harrisburg.  Mr. Unkovic is represented by the
Municipal Recovery & Restructuring group of McKenna Long &

HAWAII MEDICAL: Beginning 'Orderly Wind Down'
---------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Hawaii Medical Center LLC couldn't agree with a buyer
on a price for the 342-bed hospital, so the facility is beginning
an "orderly wind down of operations," court records show.

The report relates that an agreement for St. Francis Healthcare
System of Hawaii to buy the hospital previously fell apart.
Hawaii Medical's motion for approval of sale procedures will
nonetheless reappear on the Jan. 9 bankruptcy court calendar.

St. Francis has a $39.2 million secured claim.

                    About Hawaii Medical Center

The Hawaii Medical Center, along with its affiliates, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Hawaii Lead Case No. 11-01746) on
June 21, 2011, just a year after exiting court protection.  Hawaii
Medical Center owns two hospital campuses -- HMC East in North
Honolulu and HMC West in Ewa Beach.  The two hospitals have 342
licensed beds and have a total of more than 1,000 employees.  The
hospitals were known as St. Francis Medical Center before Hawaii
Medical purchased the hospitals in 2007.

Judge Robert J. Faris presides over the 2011 case.  Lawyers at
Moseley Biehl Tsugawa Lau & Muzzi, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and
McDonald Hopkins LLC, in Cleveland, Ohio, serve as the Debtors'
counsel.  The Debtors' financial advisors are Scouler & Company,
LLC.  In its petition, Hawaii Medical Center estimated $50 million
to $100 million in assets and $100 million to $500 million in
debts.  The petitions were signed by Kenneth J. Silva, member of
the board of directors.

Attorneys at Wagner Choi & Verbrugge, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Los Angeles, represent the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors as counsel.

The Debtors' prepetition debt structure is comprised of (i) the
Prepetition Revolving Loan with MidCap Financial, LLC, and the
Prepetition Term Loan with St. Francis Healthcare Systems of
Hawaii.  As of the Petition Date, the aggregate outstanding
principal on the Prepetition MidCap Revolving Loan and the
Prepetition St. Francis Term Loan is $46,851,772.  The principal
balance of the Prepetion MidCap Revolving Loan is $7,676,495.  The
amount owed under the Prepetition St. Francis Term Loan is
$39,175,277, secured by St. Francis's first priority lien on,
among other things, all real property of the Debtors.

Through the Chapter 11 filing, the Debtors plan to return the
hospitals to the control of St. Francis.

In the prior case, HMC and its affiliated debtors were converted
to new, Hawaii non-profit corporations.  CHA Hawaii, one of HMC's
affiliated debtors and a subsidiary of Cardiovascular Hospitals of
America LLC, discontinued management of the reorganized Debtors.

Wichita, Kansas-based CHA Hawaii LLC, and its affiliates --
including Hawaii Medical Center LLC -- filed for Chapter 11
protection on Aug. 29, 2008 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 08-12027).
Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP
represented the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  CHA
Hawaii estimated assets of up to $10 million and debts between
$50 million and $100 million when it filed for bankruptcy.  The
Debtors obtained confirmation of their Chapter 11 plan in May 2010
and emerged from bankruptcy in August 2010.

The Debtor disclosed $74,713,475 in assets and $91,599,563 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

HAWAII MEDICAL: Shuts Down Emergency Room as Part of Wind-Down
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pacific Business News reports that Hawaii Medical Center shut down
the emergency rooms at its two Oahu hospitals as part of the first
phase of the wind-down of operations at Hawaii Medical Center East
in Liliha, Hawaii, and Hawaii Medical Center West in Ewa, Hawaii,
over the next several weeks.

According to the report, an HMC spokeswoman confirmed that both
emergency rooms closed Monday morning.  That means City and County
of Honolulu's Emergency Medical Services Division is transporting
any emergency patients by ambulance to other Oahu hospitals.
Three days ago, Hawaii Medical Center announced that it would
close its two bankrupt hospitals after failing to reach an
agreement to sell the facilities to a California hospital
operator, which was the most interested buyer.

The report notes that the shutdowns, which will take up to four
weeks to complete, will leave approximately 990 people jobless and
casts a cloud of uncertainty over an already-burdened Hawaii
health-care system.

The report says Hawaii Medical Center officials found a potential
buyer in California-based Prime Healthcare Services, which put in
a minimum bid of $25 million earlier this month.  But all the
parties involved could not agree on terms of a final deal,
particularly after St. Francis objected to the deal as it was
proposed.  The sisters of the Roman Catholic religious order sold
the hospitals to Hawaii Medical Center in 2007 for $68 million.

HORIZON LINES: Beach Point Discloses 14.5% Equity Stake
-------------------------------------------------------
In a Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Beach Point SCF I LP and its affiliates disclosed
that, as of Dec. 7, 2011, they beneficially own 376,270 shares of
common stock of Horizon Lines, Inc., representing 14.55% of the
shares outstanding.  A full-text copy of the filing is available
for free at http://is.gd/5bd4Qm

                        About Horizon Lines

Charlotte, N.C.-based Horizon Lines, Inc. (NYSE: HRZ) is the
nation's leading domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics
company.  The Company owns or leases a fleet of 20 U.S.-flag
containerships and operates five port terminals linking the
continental United States with Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Micronesia
and Puerto Rico.  The Company provides express trans-Pacific
service between the U.S. West Coast and the ports of Ningbo and
Shanghai in China, manages a domestic and overseas service partner
network and provides integrated, reliable and cost competitive
logistics solutions.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 25, 2011, showed
$677.4 million in total assets, $801.7 million in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $124.3 million.

Ernst & Young LLP, in Charlotte, North Carolina, expressed
substantial doubt Horizon Lines' ability to continue as a going
concern, following the Company's results for the fiscal year ended
Dec. 26, 2010.  The independent auditors noted that there is
uncertainty that Horizon Lines will remain in compliance with
certain debt covenants throughout 2011 and will be able to cure
the acceleration clause contained in the convertible notes.

"The Company believes the Oct. 5, 2011 refinancing transactions
more fully described in Note 18 to these financial statements have
resolved the concern as to compliance with debt covenants
throughout the remainder of 2011," the Company said in the filing.
"In addition, the Company believes it will be in compliance with
its debt covenants through 2012."

                           Refinancing

The Company was not in compliance with the maximum senior secured
leverage ratio and the minimum interest coverage ratio under its
Senior Credit Facility at the close of its third fiscal quarter
ended Sept. 25, 2011.  Non-compliance with these financial
covenants constituted an event of default, which could have
resulted in acceleration of the maturity.  None of the
indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility or Notes was
accelerated prior to the completion of a comprehensive refinancing
on Oct. 5, 2011.

The Senior Credit Facility and 99.3% of the 4.25% Convertible
Senior Notes were repaid as part of the refinancing.  In addition,
as a result of the completion of the refinancing, the short-term
obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, the Notes and the
Bridge Loan have been classified as long-term debt.

As a result of the efforts to refinance the Company's debt and the
2011 amendments to the Senior Credit Facility, the Company paid
$17.3 million in financing costs and recorded a loss on
modification of debt of $0.6 million during 2011.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 26, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on Horizon
Lines Inc. to 'SD' from 'CCC'.

The rating action on Horizon Lines follow the company's decision
to defer the interest payment on its $330 million senior
convertible notes due August 2012, exercising the 30-day grace
period.  "Under our criteria, we view failure to make an interest
payment within five business days after the due date for
payment a default, regardless of the length of the grace period
contained in an indenture," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Funmi Afonja.


INNOVIDA HOLDINGS: Soneet Kapila Appointed as Chapter 7 Trustee
---------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Brinkmann, reporter at South Florida Business Journal,
reports Soneet Kapila, Fort Lauderdale accountant and court-
appointed fiduciary, was named new Chapter 7 trustee for the case
of Claudio Osorio, replacing Chapter 11 trustee Mark Meland.

The appointment came after the U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Mark
converted Mr. Osorio's Chapter 11 cases to Chapter 7 liquidations
in a harshly worded ruling from the bench Friday. Judge Mark
called Mr. Osorio's bankruptcy plan 'nonsense.'

The report says Mr. Kapila said he set to work immediately on the
controversial cases, where multimillion-dollar fraud has been
alleged.

Mr. Kapila has been a trustee and bankruptcy administrator of
several high-profile cases, including Chapter 11 trustee for the
cases surrounding boy band mogul Lou Pearlman's Ponzi scheme in
Orlando, and chief administrator of homebuilder Levitt and Sons,
where Mr. Kapila oversaw the recovery of about $105 million from
the sale of real property.

                       About Jameson Inns

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the case.  Laura Davis Jones,
Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, serves as counsel to
both Debtors.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, serves as its
noticing, claims and balloting agent, and Houlihan Lokey
Howard & Zukin Capital Inc. serves as its investment banker.

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

Colony specializes in real estate and has roughly $34 billion of
assets under management.  Colony is represented in the case by

LESLIE CONTROLS: Summary Judgments in Bradberry Case Affirmed
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed a trial court's summary
judgments in an asbestos wrongful death lawsuit involving Leslie
Controls Inc., pursuant to a Dec. 16, 2011 decision available at
http://is.gd/AJ2JNTfrom Leagle.com.  Betty Bradberry and Inez T.
Jones, as the "personal representatives of the heirs-at-law1
and/or wrongful death beneficiaries of" the decedents, Roland E.
Bradberry and George D. Jones, appeal from summary judgments in
favor of Carrier Corporation and multiple other defendants in the
plaintiffs' wrongful-death action based on their decedents'
exposure to asbestos in their work environment.  The case is Betty
Bradberry and Inez T. Jones, v. Carrier Corporation et al., No.
1100994.

                      About Leslie Controls

Based in Tampa, Florida, Leslie Controls manufacturers process
control valves, severe service control valves, on-off valves,
regulators, steam water heaters, actuators and controls.
Leslie is a unit of CIRCOR International, Inc.

Leslie Controls sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D. Del. Case No. 10-12199) on July 12, 2010.  Marion M. Quirk,
Esq., and Norman L. Pernick, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel,
Forman & Leonard, assist the Company in its restructuring
effort.  Natalie Ramsey, Esq., at Montgomery, McCracken,
Walker & Rhodes, LLP, represents the Asbestos Claimants
Committee, and Edwin J. Heron, Esq., at Young, Conaway,
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, represents the Future Claimants'
Representative.  William R. Hanlon, Esq., at Goodwin Procter
LLP advises CIRCOR International, Inc.  The Company estimated
its assets at $10 million to $50 million and its debts at
$50 million to $100 million at that the time of the filing.

The Bankruptcy Court entered an order on Oct. 28, 2010, confirming
the amended pre-negotiated Chapter 11 reorganization plan filed by
Leslie Controls.  The reorganization plan is intended to
permanently resolve Leslie's asbestos liability through the
creation of a trust pursuant to Section 524(g) of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.  All current and future asbestos claims against
Leslie would be channeled to the trust for review and payment,
thus providing both Leslie and CIRCOR with permanent court
protection from such claims.

In February 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of
Delaware affirmed the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's confirmation of the
amended pre-negotiated Chapter 11 reorganization plan filed by
Leslie Controls.  Leslie Controls emerged from Chapter 11 in April
2011.


LL MURPHREY: Debt to DAN Joint Venture Totals $6.2MM, Not $11MM
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge J. Rich Leonard ruled on cross motions for
summary judgment filed in the lawsuit, L.L. MURPHREY COMPANY,
LARRY BARROW, LOIS BARROW, and DORIS MURPHREY, v. D.A.N. JOINT
VENTURE III, L.P., Adv. Proc. No. 11-00139 (Bankr. E.D.N.C.).  The
plaintiffs instituted the adversary proceeding on April 25, 2011,
seeking declaratory judgment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2201, for
the purpose of determining the plaintiffs' liability for the
obligations specified in the Plan.  DAN filed a counterclaim,
asking the court to determine whether a certain herd of swine is
in fact collateral for LLM's obligation to DAN.

Larry Barlow, Lois Barlow, and Doris Murphrey are citizens and
residents of Greene County, North Carolina and principals of LLM.
When LLM filed its bankruptcy petition, LLM owed Wachovia Bank,
N.A., a total of $12,790,522, pursuant to various notes.  Wachovia
also asserted claims against LLM based on two guaranty agreements
signed by its principals.  The guarantors had previously executed
guaranty agreements to Wachovia in connection with the loans
evidencing Wachovia's claim.

Pursuant to the Plan, the treatment of Wachovia's claims was
divided into two notes: Note A and Note B.  Note A was an
amortizing note in the amount of $8,000,000 and called for monthly
payments of $70,500.  Note B was a cash flow note in the amount of
$3,500,000, less any payments from certain hog sales netting more
than $3,000,000, and provided for an excess cash flow based
payment.

In 2003, Wachovia sold its notes and other loan documents to
Cadlerock Joint Venture, L.P., and these obligations were later
sold or assigned to DAN in 2008.  In accordance with Note A, LLM
made monthly payments to Wachovia and later to DAN.  However,
because the excess cash flow has been insufficient, there have
been no payments made on Note B.  Both notes had a maturity date
of Sept. 30, 2011.  The Plan provided that following the maturity
date, Note A and Note B would be recapitalized.  The Plan also
provided that the obligations of the guarantors would be limited
to the amount of the recapitalized debt.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, the balance due on Note A is $6,186,361, and
that the Plan provides the appropriate formula for calculating the
recapitalized debt.  However, there is a vast disparity in what
the parties believe to be the appropriate figure for the
recapitalization cash flow, which results in similarly disparate
figures for the appropriate amount of recapitalized debt.  As an
ancillary issue, DAN filed a counterclaim, asking the court to
determine whether a certain herd of swine is in fact collateral
for LLM's obligation to DAN pursuant to a U.C.C. financing
statement.

In support of its motion for summary judgment, LLM argues that the
amount of recapitalized debt must be equal to the balance of Note
A upon the maturity date.  LLM argues that the amount of debt
remaining unpaid on Note A and Note B be recapitalized in the
amount of $6,186,362.002 and that the liability of the Guarantors
also be limited to that amount.

DAN argues that based on the amounts owed on the notes and in
accordance with the language of the Plan, the amount of debt to be
recapitalized is $11,095,484.08.

In a Dec. 16, 2011 Order available at http://is.gd/dcUgEUfrom
Leagle.com, the Court denied the defendant's motion for summary
judgment and granted the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment.
The Court said DAN presented no evidence which raises a genuine
issue as to any material fact, and the debt is recapitalized at
the amount stated in the plaintiffs' complaint -- $6,186,362.  In
regard to whether the herd of swine is in fact collateral for
LLM's obligation to DAN, the Court said because there has yet to
be a default, the issue presents no justiciable controversy at
this time.  In the future, if there is a default, DAN is free to
raise the issue again, but so long as LLM's payments remain
current, the issue is not ripe for decision.

                        About L.L. Murphrey

L.L. Murphrey Company is North Carolina corporation engaged in the
swine business, with its principal place of business in Greene
County, North Carolina.  LLM filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. E.D.N.C. Case No. 00-03213) on June 8, 2000.  On July 13,
2001, the Court entered an order confirming the debtor's fourth
amended plan of reorganization.


M WAIKIKI: Marriott Sues Aqua Hotels et al. for Breach of Contract
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason Q. Freed at HotelNewsNow.com reports that, in the lawsuit
filed in the U.S. District Court in Hawaii, Marriott International
claimed that M Waikiki LLC was enticed by reduced costs to ditch
Marriott's management and franchise services and instead sign a
management agreement with Aqua Hotels & Resorts, which resulted in
a loss of at least US$65 million Marriott would have collected
over the length of the initial 30-year management contract.

According to the report, the lawsuit names as defendants: Aqua
Hotels & Resorts, Modern Management Services and W. Christian
Oles, who was Marriott's head of security at The Waikiki Edition.

The report says Marriott alleged Mr. Oles acted as Aqua's "inside
man" during an overnight takeover on the evening of Aug. 27, 2011.
The lawsuit says Aqua planted senior executives as fake guests of
the hotel that waited for nightfall to take action.

The report further says that Marriott claims, on the night of the
"takeover," the Aqua team assembled all the employees at the hotel
in the hotel lobby and told them the hotel was under new
management and would be called the "Modern Honolulu" moving
forward.

                          About M Waikiki

property located close to Waikiki Beach in Hawaii.  The hotel is

Cleansing was sold at auction to Hadeed Carpet for $1.265 million
by sealed bid Dec. 19.  Hadeed Carpet is a family-owned rug

is part of the Ferguson bankruptcy, sold separately at a live

METROPARK USA: Wants Access to Wells Fargo's Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
Metropark USA, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to approve a sixth interim agreed
order authorizing the use of cash collateral.

The Debtor will use the cash collateral to facilitate the
reorganization or sale of its business.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 24, 2011,
prepetition secured parties to the Debtors are (1) Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as prepetition agent, and certain
lenders pursuant to a April 2008 Prepetition Senior Credit
Agreement; and (2) Bricoleur Capital Partners, LP, as second lien
agent, and certain lenders pursuant to a March 2011 Prepetition
Subordinated Credit Agreement.

As partial adequate protection for any use or diminution in the
value of the Prepetition Secured Parties' Interest in the
Prepetition Collateral and Cash Collateral, the Debtor grants the
Prepetition Agents valid and perfected replacement liens and
additional liens and security interests, of the highest available
priority in and upon all of the properties and assets of the
Debtor.

As additional partial adequate protection, the Debtor will make
these payments to the prepetition agent: (a) payment of interest
on the first day of each month on the Prepetition Senior Claim;
(b) payment of all proceeds from the store closing sale; and (c)
reimbursement to the prepetition agent of all costs, expenses and
costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses.

The Court also ordered that the Debtor is not allowed to sell
properties outside the ordinary course of business, unless the
Prepetition Lender, or the agent for the Second Lien Lenders, will
have given its prior written consent, or as may be ordered by the
Court.

The Debtor proposed a Jan. 5, 2012, final hearing at 10:00 a.m. on
its request to access cash collateral.  Objections, if any, are
due Dec. 30, 2011.

MMRGLOBAL INC: Signs Deal Memo on Possible Merger with JER
----------------------------------------------------------
MMRGlobal, Inc., on Dec. 16, 2011, entered into a Deal Memorandum
with JER, Inc., and Skin Cancer & Reconstructive Surgery
Specialist of Beverly Hills, two distinct but affiliated entities.
Pursuant to the Memorandum, the parties have agreed to the
principal terms of a transaction to be negotiated and potentially
consummated by the parties.

JER is in the business of, among other things, purchasing medical
and Workman's compensation insurance?accounts?receivable and
plans to continue to do so on an ongoing basis in addition to the
business of MMR.  JER currently has at least $150,000,000 in
accounts receivable, which would be contributed to MMR on closing
of the Transaction.

Reconstructive is a Health IT company that has its own proprietary
patent pending electronic health records and practice management
software.  Reconstructive has annual gross revenues under
generally accepted accounting principles in 2010 of approximately
$8,000,000 and EBITDA of approximately $3,500,000, and comparable
or better annual gross revenues and EBITDA for 2011.

JER and Reconstructive at a minimum will transfer all of the
assets including but not limited to all of its business, goodwill,
real property, accounts, assets, tangible and intangible personal
property, all ownership interests in its business and assets,
including stock, or property to which it has a right to acquire in
the future, to MMR in exchange for the issuance of preferred stock
of MMR, with?the terms?of such Preferred Stock to be negotiated
between the parties.  The Preferred Stock is intended to represent
a fair portion of MMR's equity as determined by one or more
independent investment banking firms.

The Transaction and its final structure is subject to a number of
conditions and contingencies, including, but not limited to,
independent valuations and a fairness opinion by a top tier
investment banking firm selected by MMR, as well as the
negotiation and acceptance of a definitive Merger Agreement or
Asset Purchase Agreement, a final audit of JER and Reconstructive,
satisfactory completion of due diligence and the receipt of
corporate approvals for the Transaction to the extent required
therefor.

JER and Reconstructive have also agreed to pay all outstanding
balances under MMR's credit line with The RHL Group and to
immediately replace such credit line with a substantially similar
JER and Reconstructive credit line upon execution of the
Memorandum.

On closing the Company will operate under the name of MMRGlobal.
The parties plan on Robert Lorsch remaining as Chief Executive
Officer after the closing of the Transaction.

The parties have agreed to use their best efforts to close the
transaction as soon as reasonable possible given the time for
audits, fairness opinions due diligence, proxies and other SEC
filings to the extent necessary.

MONEYGRAM INT'L: Fraud Investigations Near Completion
-----------------------------------------------------
As previously disclosed, MoneyGram International, Inc., has been
served with subpoenas to produce documents and testify before a
grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania.  The subpoenas sought information related to, inter
alia, MoneyGram's U.S. and Canadian agents, as well as certain
transactions involving those agents, fraud complaint data, and
MoneyGram's consumer anti-fraud program during the period from
2004 to 2009.  MoneyGram has provided information requested
pursuant to the subpoenas and continues to provide additional
information relating to the investigation.  In addition, the
Company has been provided with subpoenas for the testimony of
certain current and former employees in connection with the
investigation.

Also, as previously disclosed, the U.S. Department of Treasury
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network requested information, which
information was subsequently provided by MoneyGram, concerning
MoneyGram's reporting of fraudulent transactions during this
period.  In November 2010, MoneyGram met with representatives from
the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania
and representatives of FinCEN to discuss the investigation.  In
July 2011, MoneyGram had further discussions with the MDPA USAO
and representatives of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering
Section of the U.S. Department of Justice.  MoneyGram has been
informed that it is being investigated by the federal grand jury
in connection with these matters for the period 2004 to early 2009
as well as MoneyGram's anti-money laundering program during that
period.  MoneyGram is cooperating with the MDPA USAO and the US
DOJ in connection with the subpoenas and the related
investigation.

The Company believes the investigation is nearing completion.  In
December 2011, a meeting was scheduled for the first quarter of
2012 between representatives of the Company, the MDPA USAO and
representatives of the Criminal Division of the US DOJ to discuss
the investigation.  Also in December 2011, the Company was
notified of a request by representatives of the MDPA USAO for
interviews of one current executive officer and one former chief
executive officer of the Company.  No conclusions can be drawn at
this time as to the outcome of the investigation, which could
include the MDPA USAO seeking criminal or civil penalties against
the Company.

MONEY TREE: Financial Woes Prompt Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of The Money Tree Inc. said the company and
certain of its subsidiaries filed on Dec. 19, 2011, a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Alabama.
The Company will continue to operate its business as a debtor-in-
possession.

As with nearly all consumer lenders throughout the country, The
Money Tree has been impacted greatly by the financial collapse and
continued related economic downturn.  Many of The Money Tree's
customers are unable to pay their obligations when due, which,
along with the losses created by these troubled loans, increased
governmental regulations and increased investor redemptions,
placed increased pressure on The Money Tree's liquidity and
financial position.

The Money Tree retained Warren, Averett, Kimbrough & Marino, LLC,
a Birmingham, Alabama-based accounting and financial consulting
firm, as an advisor to guide the restructuring and began
implementing a series of cost-cutting measures, including the
merging of marginally-profitable branches, from 92 to 46 branches,
which the Company intends to continue as part of its
reorganization.

Bradley D. Bellville, the Company's President, commented "It is
with great regret that we made the Chapter 11 filing late Friday.
However, this filing allows The Money Tree to enhance its short-
term liquidity while we confront this historically difficult
environment for our business.  We tirelessly pursued many
different potential solutions to the challenges facing the
Company.  We have done everything possible to try and protect the
integrity of our investors and the Company."  He added "We will
continue to focus on our core business and restructuring The Money
Tree to fully realize our long-term strategy.  We want to thank
our customers, investors and employees for their loyalty, support
and continued patience.  We remain very proud of our contributions
to our communities.  In particular, we look forward to continuing
our strong relationship with the Decatur County and the
surrounding area."

The Company's subsidiary, Best Buy Autos of Bainbridge Inc., is
not a party to the bankruptcy filing and intends to operate its
business in the ordinary course.

On Dec. 14, 2011, Best Buy Autos entered into a purchase and sale
agreement with Innovate Loan Servicing Corporation, a third party,
whereby Best Buy sold approximately $5.2 million of net vehicle
finance receivables to Innovate for a purchase price of
approximately $4.4 million.  The receivables sold represent
approximately 35% of the total net finance receivables held by
Best Buy on the date of the sale.  The purchase price for the
receivables was 85% of the total par value.

The Company's consolidated balance sheet reported $34,859,189 in
assets, $92,655,010 in liabilities, and $57,795,821 in total
stockholders' deficit.  The Company said it experienced
significant liquidity issues over the past two years due to
significant loan and operating losses and the lack of net sales in
our debt offerings.  Because of its liquidity issues and the
current economic environment, to preserve cash, the Company
significantly reduced the volume of loans made and implemented
tighter risk management controls on the loans extended beginning
in fiscal year 2009, which continued through June 25, 2011.

                     About Mountain City Meat

Denver, Colorado-based Mountain City Meat Co., Inc. --
http://www.mountaincitymeat.com/-- is one of the largest portion
control beef processors in the United States. Through its
headquarters and manufacturing facility in Denver, and its second
manufacturing facility in Nashville, Tennessee, Mountain City
supplies high quality ground beef and portion control steak cuts
through several channels, including retail stores, chain
restaurants and broadline food service distributors.

On Aug. 9, 2011, Mountain City's board of directors appointed BGA
Management LLC d/b/a Alliance Management, through its agent, Alex
G. Smith as the company's Chief Restructuring Officer until the
need for a CRO no longer existed.  Immediately after appointing
Alliance as CRO, the Board resigned.

On Aug. 11, 2011, Mountain City's secured lender, Fifth Third Bank
commenced a receivership action against the company in Denver
District Court.  At 5:00 p.m. that same day, the Denver District
Court appointed Alliance as receiver for Mountain City's personal
property and related operations.

However, minutes before the receivership order, certain putative
unsecured creditors -- Orleans International, Inc., National Beef
Packing, Inc. and XL Four Star Beef, Inc. -- commenced an
involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. D. Colo. Case
No. 11-29209) against Mountain City.  The Involuntary Chapter 7
petition was filed as a result of, among other reasons, the Debtor
(a) ordering and not paying for in excess of $2,400,000 of meat
inventory from the Petitioning Creditors; and (b) issuing checks
to the Petitioning Creditors for a portion of the inventory, which
checks were refused for payment by Fifth Third Bank.  The Debtor
sought dismissal of the Involuntary Petition on the grounds that
it was filed in bad faith because the Petitioning Creditors were
motivated solely by their desire to preserve their claims under
Section 503(b)((9) of the Bankruptcy Code to have that portion of
their claims related to goods sold to the Debtor within 20 days
prior to the filing treated as an administrative expense.

In the Involuntary Case, the Secured Lender obtained two interim
orders annulling the automatic stay to allow the receiver to keep
control of the Debtor.

Mountain City filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
Colo. Case No. 11-32656) on Sept. 24, 2011.  Judge Howard R.
Tallman presides over the case.  Michael J. Pankow, Esq., Daniel
J. Garfield, Esq., Heather B. Schell, Esq., at Brownstein Hyatt
Farber Schreck, LLP, represent the Debtors as counsel.  The Debtor
estimated up to $50 million in assets and debts.

Attorneys for the Petitioning Creditors are John B. Wasserman,
Esq., at Sender & Wasserman, P.C., and Howard S. Sher, Esq., and
Michele L. Walton, Esq., at Jacob & Weingarten, P.C.

Fifth Third is represented in the case by James T. Markus, Esq.,
and John F. Young, Esq., at Markus Williams Young & Zimmermann
LLC.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.  The panel is represented by Harold G. Morris, Jr.,
Esq., and John C. Smiley, Esq., at Lindquist & Vennum PLLP.

PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA: Plan Filing Period Extended to Feb. 10
--------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Eric L. Frank has extended The Philadelphia
Orchestra Association and Academy of Music of Philadelphia, Inc.'s
exclusive right to file a plan through and including Feb. 10,
2012, and the Debtors' exclusive right to solicit acceptances of a
plan through and including April 11, 2012.

As reported in the TCR on Nov. 16, 2011, Philadelphia Orchestra is
requesting for a second time an extension of the exclusive right
to propose a bankruptcy reorganization plan.  The orchestra and
the musicians' pension fund may be near resolution of disputes
over documents and information the fund can obtain from donors.

The Debtor said it has reached agreement with the musicians' union
on a new labor contract.  The motion didn't say when a plan would
be filed.  The orchestra did say it still needs a new lease for
the Kimmel Center, where it performs.

                    About Philadelphia Orchestra

The Philadelphia Orchestra -- http://www.philorch.org/-- claims
to be among the world's leading orchestras.  Bloomberg News says
the orchestra became the first major U.S. symphony to file for
bankruptcy protection, surprising the music world.

Previous conductors include Fritz Scheel (1900-07), Carl Pohlig
(1907-12), Leopold Stokowski (1912-41), Eugene Ormandy (1936-80),
Riccardo Muti (1980-92), Wolfgang Sawallisch (1993-2003), and
Christoph Eschenbach (2003-08). Charles Dutoit is currently chief
conductor, and Yannick Nezet-Seguin has assumed the title of music
director designate until he takes up the baton as The Philadelphia
Orchestra's next music director in 2012.

The Philadelphia Orchestra Association, Academy of Music of
Philadelphia, Inc., and Encore Series, Inc., filed separate
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. E.D. Pa. Case Nos. 11-13098 to
11-13100) on April 16, 2011. Judge Eric L. Frank presides over
the case. The Philadelphia Orchestra Association is being advised
by Dilworth Paxson LLP, its legal counsel, and Alvarez & Marsal,
its financial advisor. Curley, Hessinger & Johnsrud serves as its
special counsel. Philadelphia Orchestra disclosed $15,950,020 in
assets and $704,033 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Encore Series, Inc., tapped EisnerAmper LLP as accountants and
financial advisors.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed
seven members to the official committee of unsecured creditors in
the Debtors' case. Reed Smith LLP serves as the Committee's
counsel.

The orchestra postpetition signed a new contract with musicians
and authority to terminate the existing musicians' pension plan.


PMI GROUP: Seeks Nod for Executive Salaries, Pension Freeze
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that PMI Group Inc. arranged a Jan. 6 hearing in
bankruptcy court for approval of employment agreements with the
two remaining officers.   At the same hearing, PMI will seek
permission to freeze the pension plan for workers at the insurance
company.

The report relates that PMI is proposing that L. Stephen Smith be
chief executive at an annual base salary of $1.25 million, with
$250,000 paid "up front."  He is also to be eligible for a
$360,000 bonus and a severance payment as much as $650,000 if he
is terminated without cause.  Donald P. Lofe Jr., chief financial
officer, is to have a $700,000 annual base salary along with the
possibility of a $180,000 bonus.  His severance payment would also
be a maximum of $650,000.  From his salary, $125,000 would be paid
up front.

According to the report, in the motion to freeze the pension plan,
PMI explained how it can be liable for payment of future benefits
to workers at the insurance company although control of the
subsidiary has been taken away by regulators in Arizona.  If the
bankruptcy judge goes along, PMI would freeze accrual of further
benefits.

                          About PMI Group

The PMI Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Del. Case
No. 11-13730) on Nov. 23, 2011.  The Debtor had total assets of

Senior Notes if those amounts were to become due and payable.

QUIZNOS CORP: Avenue Capital Leads Talks to Restructure Debt
------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector reports that people
familiar with the matter said the Quiznos sandwich chain is close
to a deal to restructure its roughly $870 million debt load.

According to the report, the sources said the deal being discussed
involves:

     -- Avenue Capital Group, the company's biggest lender,
        converting its debt to equity and investing cash in
        Quiznos as part of a tentative deal that would give the
        hedge fund more than a 70% ownership stake in the chain;

     -- cutting Quiznos' more than $870 million in debt by about
        $281 million;

     -- Avenue providing $150 million, with the proceeds evenly
        split between paying down some senior Quiznos debt and
        providing the chain with more working capital, and Quiznos
        using some of the new money for a new marketing campaign;

     -- Quiznos' remaining $570 million in senior debt staying on
        the company's books in two new tranches and coming due in
        about five years; and

     -- creditors getting about 30 days to decide whether to
        accept the deal, or face a prepackaged bankruptcy.

Quiznos' debts had been set to mature in 2012 and 2013.

According to the report, creditors holding more than two-thirds of
Quiznos' senior debt and second-lien debt already support the
deal, giving the chain leverage to force a restructuring plan on
others during bankruptcy proceedings.

The sources said Quiznos' current owners -- private-equity firm
CCMP Capital Advisors LLC and Consumer Capital Partners, an
investment firm owned by Rick Schaden -- aren't likely to get any
recovery on their investments under the deal.

The Journal's sources also said creditors could fare worse if
Quiznos filed for bankruptcy-court protection.  Senior lenders
would likely get less of their debt paid back, and other creditors
would end up owning less of Quiznos if the deal gets done in
bankruptcy court, the people said.

The report notes Quiznos wants to pay reduced rent on its Denver
headquarters.  The company plans to pay its landlord some money in
consideration for reduced rent, the people said. But if the
landlord doesn't agree, Quiznos would reject the lease in
bankruptcy proceedings.

Quiznos also wants more than 40 former executives to make
concessions on deferred compensation owed to them.  The chain also
wants to reduce payouts to middlemen who help develop franchises
in various regions of the U.S.  Those creditors would likely get
wiped out in bankruptcy.

WSJ notes representatives for both Quiznos and Avenue declined to
comment.  A representative for Consumer Capital had no immediate
comment.  A CCMP spokeswoman declined to comment.

Avenue is the hedge fund controlled by billionaire Marc Lasry.  In
the wake of the financial crisis, WSJ notes, Mr. Lasry has led
investors to gain control of three Atlantic City, N.J., casinos
bearing Donald Trump's name and broadcaster ION Media Networks
Inc., among other companies.

                        About Quiznos Corp.

Quiznos Corp. operates the #2 sub sandwich chain (behind Subway),
with more than 4,500 franchised quick-service restaurants popular
for their made-to-order, oven-toasted sandwiches.  The company has
locations in more than 20 countries.  The chain has about 2,900
stores in the U.S. and 600 international locations.  Quiznos
started getting toasty in 1981 as a single Denver area restaurant.
Founder Rick Schaden and his family control the company with
backing from investment firms CCMP Capital and Cervantes Capital.

Quiznos warned lenders over the summer that sales were coming in
below projections, which would likely cause the chain to violate
loan terms and put it in default.  The Journal relates Quiznos is
being advised by law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison
and investment bank Moelis & Co.  Quiznos' lenders are being
advised by law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and investment
bank Lazard Ltd.


REAL MEX: Has Green Light to Pay $3MM in Sale-Related Bonuses
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel Feintzeig, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reports that Bankruptcy Judge Brendan L. Shannon on Monday signed
off on the request of Real Mex Restaurants Inc. to institute an

Real Mex won permission to dole out up to nearly $3 million in
bonuses.

DBR relates that under the plan, nine employees are eligible for
one level of bonuses, totaling up to $316,000.  That level hinges
on the closing of the sale.  Eight employees are also eligible for
a second tier of bonuses, which could total $1.1 million to $2.7
million, depending on the actual price of the transaction.  The
more money the sale brings in, the bigger the bonuses the
employees will take home.

Real Mex's auction and sale hearing are on tap for next month and
the company hopes to close a transaction by the end of February.

REAL MEX: Asks Court to Extend Plan Filing Deadline to June 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Real Mex Restaurants Inc. on Monday asked the Bankruptcy Court to
extend the period within which it has the exclusive right to file

solicit votes for the plan is set to expire on April 1.  Real Mex
wants the plan filing deadline extended until June 1 and the right
to solicit votes extended until Aug. 1.

"The debtors' proposed extension of the exclusivity periods . . .

said.

SAPPINGTON FARMERS: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
--------------------------------------------------------------
South County Times reports that Sappington Farmers Market filed on
Dec. 16, 2011, for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

"The reorganization of Sappington Farmers Market will allow the
store to remain open and viable," co-owner Nancy Smith said,
according to the report.  "We won't be closed at all, and no
employees will lose their jobs. Gift certificates, coupons -- they
will all still be honored."

Under the reorganization, new owners will consist of an outside
investor and three of the original farmers: Ron McNear, president
of Missouri's Best Beef; Russ Kremer, founder and chief operating
officer of Heritage Acres Pork; and Smith, an herb grower and
business consultant, the report says.

Sappington Farmers Market in Missouri will continue to fulfill its
mission of facilitating the distribution of local farm goods to
St. Louis residents.


SHOPPES OF LAKESIDE: Creditor J Properties Wants Case Dismissed
---------------------------------------------------------------
Secured Creditor J Properties IV, LLC, tells the Bankruptcy Court
that Shoppes of Lakeside, Inc.'s Chapter 11 case should be
dismissed as a bad faith filing.

The Debtor is indebted to J Properties under a promissory note
executed and delivered on Oct. 18, 2006, by The Silver Pearl, LLC,
to VyStar Credit Union, J Properties' predecessor in interest.

The Note is secured by a lien on real property commonly known as
1310 N. Laura Street and related personal property.  The Note is
further secured by an Assignment of Rents and Leases executed by
Silver Pearl on Oct. 18, 2006, in favor of VyStar.  The Note was
guaranteed by the owner and managing member of Silver Pearl, Chris
Hionides, along with his spouse.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, as of the Petition Date, J
Properties is owed the principal sum of $282,894, accrued interest
of $5,557 and late charges in the amount of $911, for a total of
$289,362.

Beginning on May 5, 2010, and continuing on June 11, 2010, Mr.
Hionides merged 21 of his real estate entities, including Silver
Pearl, with the Debtor.  Creditors of these entities were not
provided with notice of the mergers.

On June 15, 2010, two business days after the mergers were
completed and the day before the hearing on the motion for summary
in a foreclosure action filed against one of the Hionides Entities
by Royal Bank, the Debtor filed for bankruptcy.

J Properties states in support of its motion to dismiss:

  (i) The Debtor's only asset, until a matter of days before the
      Petition Date, was a single piece of real property.
      Similarly, the majority of the Hionides Entities held a
      single piece of real property as their only asset until the
      mergers occurred, shortly before the Petition Date.

(ii) The Debtor has few unsecured creditors, whose claims are
      small in relation to the claims of secured creditors.

(iii) The Debtor has no employees.

(iv) At the time of the merger and the Petition Date, several of
      the Hionides Entities were in default on loans secured by
      real estate which, as a result, was at the time or was
      anticipated to be, the subject of foreclosure actions.

  (v) The Debtor's financial problems involve essentially disputes
      between the Hionides Entities and their respective lenders,
      which can be resolved in pending or future state court
      actions.

(vi) The timing of the Debtor's filing evidences an intent to
      delay and frustrate lenders' legitimate efforts to enforce
      their rights through state court actions.  Several
      foreclosure actions were pending or imminent as of the
      Petition Date. In fact, the petition was filed on the day
      before the hearing on the Summary Judgment Motion in the
      foreclosure action filed by Royal Bank.

In addition, according to J Properties, the two Chapter 11 plans
(Dec. 31, 2010, and April 20, 2011) proposed by the Debtor both
allow the Debtor to stave off secured creditors for seven years
with only minimal payments.  Both plans also provide for an
improper release of Mr. Hionides' guarantee liabilities as to
those same creditors.

"Rather than a legitimate effort to reorganize an existing
business, this case is an effort by [Mr.] Hionides to hang onto
all of his troubled real estate holdings to await a hoped-for
change in the market, while simultaneously discharging almost
$37,000,000 in guaranty liabilities -- all  without submitting his
personal assets to the bankruptcy process."

J Properties adds: "Finally, having twice continued the disclosure
statement hearing in the face of objections by creditors, the
Debtor was given until Oct. 19, 2011, to file a second amended
plan and disclosure statement.  The Debtor's failure to comply
with this deadline further evidences the lack of a sincere
intention to reorganize and the abuse of the bankruptcy process."

SINCLAIR BROADCAST: Raises $530 Million of Incremental Term Loans
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Sinclair Television Group, Inc., has raised additional
commitments under, and amended certain terms of, its existing bank
credit facility.

Sinclair raised $530.0 million of incremental term loans, which
consist of an additional $372.5 million term loan added to its
existing $222.5 million tranche B term loan maturing October 2016
and priced at LIBOR plus 3.00% with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%; and an
additional $157.5 million added to its existing $115.0 million
tranche A term loan maturing March 2016 and priced at LIBOR plus
2.25%.  In addition, Sinclair increased its existing revolving
line of credit from $75.4 million to $97.5 million and extended
the maturity of the revolving line of credit from 2013 to be
coterminous with the term loan A maturity of March 2016.  Pricing
on the revolving line of credit was reduced from LIBOR plus 4%
with a 2.00% floor to LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The additional term
loans, along with cash on hand or a draw under the revolving line
of credit, will be used to fund the previously announced
acquisitions of Four Points Media and the television stations of
Freedom Communications which are currently expected to close in
early January 2012 and late March 2012, respectively.  Due to
timing related to the closing and funding of the acquisitions,
approximately $350.0 million of the new commitments is expected to
be drawn on a delayed basis.  Sinclair also amended certain terms
of the bank credit facility, including increased incremental loan
capacity, increased television station acquisition capacity and
more flexibility under the restrictive covenants.

Services raised its corporate credit rating on Hunt Valley, Md.-
based TV broadcaster Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. to 'BB-' from
'B+'.  The rating outlook is stable.  "The 'BB-' rating on
Sinclair reflects S&P's expectation that the company could keep
its lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA below historical levels
throughout the election cycle, absent a reversal of economic
growth, meaningful debt-financed acquisitions, or significant
shareholder-favoring measures," explained Standard & Poor's credit

SOLYNDRA LLC: Wants Plan Filing Period Extended to April 3
----------------------------------------------------------
Solyndra LLC, et al, ask the U.s. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware to extend the exclusivity period for filing a
plan through and including April 3, 2012, and the exclusivity
period for solicitation of a plan through and including June 4,
2012, without prejudice to the Debtors' rights to request further
extensions.

The Debtors' current exclusivity Period for proposing a plan of
reorganization expires Jan. 4, 2012, and the Debtors' current
exclusivity period for obtaining acceptances of the proposed plan
of reorganization expires March 4, 2012.

The requested additional time will permit the Debtors to conduct
the Turnkey Sale and sell additional non-core assets.  The Debtors
will also continue to assess their current contractual obligations
and determine whether to reject additional contracts.  In
addition, the Debtors will continue to focus on the winding down
of their business.

"In light of the relatively short time that this case has been
pending and the myriad of pressing matters with which the Debtors
have had to deal (including the core and non-core asset sale
processes), the Debtors have not had sufficient time to prepare a
plan or the adequate disclosures to accompany a plan."

                        About Solyndra LLC

Founded in 2005, Solyndra LLC is a U.S. manufacturer of solar
photovoltaic solar power systems specifically designed for large
commercial and industrial rooftops and for certain shaded
agriculture applications.  The Company had 968 full time employees
and 211 temporary employees.  Solyndra has sold more than 500,000
of its panels since 2008 and generated cumulative sales of over
$250 million.

Fremont, California-based Solyndra and affiliate 360 Degree Solar
Holdings Inc. sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Lead Case No. 11-12799) on Sept. 6, 2011.  Solyndra is at
least the third solar company to seek court protection from
creditors since August 2011.

Solyndra owed secured lenders $783.8 million, including
$527.8 million to the U.S. government pursuant to a federal loan
guarantee, and held assets valued at $859 million as of the
Petition date.  The U.S. Federal Financing Bank, owned by the U.S.
Treasury Department, is the Company's biggest lender.

In the Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors are pursuing a two-pronged
strategy to effectuate either a sale of their business to a
"turnkey" buyer who may acquire substantially all of Solyndra's
assets or, if the Debtors are unable to identify any such
potential buyers, an orderly liquidation of the Debtors' assets
for the benefit of their creditors.

Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the Debtors' cases.  The
Debtors are represented by Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as
legal adviser.  AlixPartners LLP serves as noticing claims and
balloting agent.  Imperial Capital LLC serves as the company's
investment banker and financial adviser.  The Debtors also tapped
former Massachusetts Governor William F. Weld, now with the law
firm McDermott Will & Emery, to represent the company in
government investigations and related litigation.  BDO Consulting,
a division of BDO USA, LLP, as financial advisor and BDO Capital
Advisors, LLC, serves as investment banker for the creditors'
panel.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed seven
unsecured creditors to serve on the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors of Solyndra LLC.  The Committee has tapped
Blank Rome LLP as counsel.

Solyndra is at least the fourth solar company to seek court
protection from creditors since August 2011.  Other solar firms
are Evergreen Solar and start-up Spectrawatt Inc., both of which
filed in August, and Stirling Energy Systems Inc., which filed for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy late in September.


SOUTHERN ELECTRIC COIL: Bankr. Court to Hear Suit v. FirstMerit
---------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. District Judge Virginia M. Kendall denied the request of
FirstMerit Bank, N.A., as successor in interest to Midwest Bank &
Trust Company, to withdraw the reference of an adversary
proceeding from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Illinois pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 157(d).

The case is SOUTHERN ELECTRIC COIL, LLC, and Indiana limited
liability company, and CLAIRE NARDONI, v. FIRSTMERIT BANK, N.A.
f/k/a/MIDWEST BANK & TRUST COMPANY, or as successor to MIDWEST
BANK & TRUST COMPANY, and d/b/a/MIDWEST BANK, BERNARDI SECURITIES,
INC., PERSHING, LLC, and PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC., Case
No. 11 C 6135 (N.D. Ill.).  The plaintiffs commenced the action
pre-bankruptcy in the Circuit Court of Cook County-Chancery
Division, Case No. 11 CH 26133, seeking declaratory judgment and
injunctive relief against FirstMerit and other financial services
firms.

Ms. Nardoni owns two securities accounts at Bernardi and at PNC
Bank, N.A., collectively in excess of $2 million, as a joint
tenant with rights of survivorship after her husband's death.  Her
husband was a partial owner of the Debtor, and those securities
were pledged as secured collateral for FirstMerit's loans to the
Debtor.  FirstMerit sought to liquidate the Securities Accounts
after the loans to the Debtor, as well as to Ms. Nardoni's husband
individually, became due and payable in full and remained unpaid,
and after Ms. Nardoni's husband died.

On Aug. 17, 2011, the Debtor removed the state court lawsuit to
the Bankruptcy Court, arguing that the proceeding would affect the
liquidation of the assets of the estate or the adjustment of the
debtor-creditor or the debtor-equity security holder relationship,
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 157(b)(2)(O).

FirstMerit, however, argues that the Bankruptcy Court does not
have jurisdiction.

In her Dec. 16, 2011 Memorandum Opinion and Order available at
http://is.gd/xVURASfrom Leagle.com, Judge Kendall held that
withdrawal of the reference at this stage of the proceeding is not
warranted.

TAYLOR & BISHOP: BBG to Receive Lump Sum of $6.5MM and HOF Note
---------------------------------------------------------------
Taylor & Bishop, LLC, has filed a Third Amended Plan of
Reorganization that contemplates the continued existence of the
Debtor following the Effective Date of the Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan terms, Bridgeview Bank Group, the only
secured creditor of T&B (Class 4) will, in accordance with the
Bridgeview Settlement, receive a lump sum cash payment in the
total amount of $6,500,000 and the HOF Note in satisfaction of all
obligations of T&B to Bridgeview.  The BBG Settlement Payment will
be paid within 5 days after the Effective Date, and will be
structured in a manner to provide optimal business and tax
advantages to Bridgeview and to T&B, its members, and guarantors.

In addition, Bridgeview will receive a promissory note in the
amount of $800,000 from the National Italian American Sports Hall
of Fame (HOF), secured by the Memorabilia pledged by the Debtor as
collateral for the HOF Note pursuant to documents and filings in
form and substance acceptable to Bridgeview.  The HOF Note will be
amortized over a 10 year period, with interest at the rate of 6%
p.a. beginning 30 days after the Effective Date of the Plan, with
a final balloon payment due
36 months after the Effective Date.  Bridgeview will retain its
lien on the Memorabilia collateral of T&B as security pending
payment in full of the HOF Note.

The BBG Settlement Payment will come from a variety of sources
including but not limited to: additional contributions from
Members, cash on hand, and the sale of the Building and Parking
Lot to a third party.  At the option of the third party purchaser,
the Building and Parking Lot will be sold free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1123(a)(5).

The Reorganized Debtor will continue to be managed by its Senior
Manager, Jerry Colangelo, and its authorized agent, Thomas

Classification Summary

The Plan, dated as of Nov. 4, 2011, segregates the various claims
against the Debtor into six (6) classes:

Class 1. Administrative Expense Claims
Class 2. Priority Tax Claims
Class 3. Secured Tax Claims
Class 4. Bridgeview Bank Secured Claims
Class 5. Unsecured Claims.
Class 6. Membership Interests

Class 1 Claims will be paid in full.

Membership Interests in Class 6 will retain their respective
interests in T&B.  In accordance with the operating agreement of
T&B, members that fail to make their annual contributions to T&B
will have their membership interests diluted or eliminated.

Class 1 and Class 6 are not impaired under the Plan and are deemed
to have accepted the Plan under the provisions of Section 1126(f)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent Class 2 Priority Tax Claims exist on the Effective
Date, holders of Priority Tax Claims will be paid from Cash held
by the Estate over a period not exceeding five (5) years after the
Petition Date.  Class 2 Claims are impaired, and holders of
Allowed Class 2 Claims will be entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Plan.

Based on the nonprofit status of the HOF, the Debtor expects to be
exempt from the taxes.  If an exemption is not obtained, the
Allowed Class 3 Claims (estimated in the amount of approximately
$2,500) will be paid quarterly in equal installments of principal
and interest, over a period of 12 months after the Effective Date.
Class 3 Claims are impaired and holders of Allowed Class 3 Claims
will be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

With respect to the General Unsecured Claim of Lancelot Lending,
LLC, in Class 5(a), the contract terms  will be modified to
provide an extension of the loan maturity date, and will otherwise
be paid according to the terms of the existing loan agreement
(which calls for monthly interest only payments, with the
principal balance now due Jan. 1, 2012).  The remaining monthly
interest payments from April ? June 2011 will be deferred and paid
upon maturity.  In exchange, T&B will pay Lancelot additional
consideration of $5,000 upon maturity.   Class 5(a) Claims are
impaired and holders of Allowed Class 5(a) Claims will be entitled
to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

General Unsecured Claims in Class 5(b), which are estimated in the
aggregate amount of approximately $30,000, will receive annual
payments of interest only at the 3% p.a. beginning 30 days after
the Effective Date of the Plan for 3 years.  All unpaid principal
and interest owing to the holders of Allowed Class 5(b) Claims
will be paid on the third anniversary of the Effective Date of the
Plan.  Class 5(b) Claims are impaired and holders of Allowed Class
5(b) Claims will be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

Convenience Class Claims in Class 5(c) ($500 or less, or any
General Unsecured Claim that is reduced to $500 by election of the
holder as provided on the Ballot) will be paid 60 days following
the Effective Date of the Plan.  Holders of Class 5(c) Claims are
impaired by the Plan.

VISICON SHAREHOLDERS: Court to Hear Dismissal Motion on Jan. 18
---------------------------------------------------------------
Secured prepetition creditor GCCFC 2002-C1 Dayton Hotel Conference
Center, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Ohio to dismiss The Visicon Shareholders Trust, an
Ohio Trust, U/A/D Nov. 11, 2002's bankruptcy case under Section
1112(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code.

The hearing on Lender's Motion to Dismiss will be held on Jan. 18,
2012, at 9:30 a.m.

On Nov. 25, 2002, Trustee David A. Meyers and Amanda L. Meyers, on
behalf of Debtor, executed and delivered to Greenwich Capital
Financial Products, Inc., a certain Promissory Note in the
principal sum of $9,000,000, which has been subsequently assigned
to Lender.  The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Hope Hotel.

As of Feb. 1, 2010, the total amount owed to Lender was the
principal sum of $7,411,843, plus due and unpaid interest of
$476,754.

The Lender states in support of its Motion To Dismiss:

A. Cause Exists Under Section 1112(b).

  1. There is substantial or continuing loss to the estate and the
  Debtor does not have a reasonable likelihood of being able to
  reorganize.

  2. There is gross mismanagement of the estate and the Hope
  Hotel.

  3. Debtor has failed to maintain appropriate insurance at the
  Hope Hotel.

  4.  Debtor has impermissibly utilized Lender's cash collateral
  to pay for the personal expenses of the insiders of Debtor.

  5.  As admitted to by Debtor in its September MOR, it has
  completely failed to pay any sales taxes post-petition, which
  has resulted in a significant post-petition liability.

B. There Exists No Unusual Circumstances.

  The Debtor can provide no evidence supporting an exception to
  dismissal under Section 1112(b)(1) or (b)(2).  Further cannot
  meet its burden of showing a reasonable justification for its
  blatant misconduct.  Rather, its is in the best interest of
  Debtor's creditors and the estate to dismiss this proceeding.

C. The Court Should Dismiss this Case.

  Dismissal is appropriate in this case given that this is a
  single asset real estate case, and all of Debtor's assets are
  encumbered by Lender.  Thus, there will more than likely not be
  a distribution to any unsecured creditors.

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Fails to Dismiss Tranquility's $49MM Claim
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Washington Mutual Inc. failed in its initial effort
to have the bankruptcy court dismiss a $49 million claim by
Tranquility Master Fund Ltd.  The claim is based on Tranquility's
purchase of mortgage-backed securities sold with offering
materials that allegedly contained material misrepresentations.

Mr. Rochelle relates that Kevin Starke from CRT Capital
Group LLC said in a report the 21-page opinion Dec. 20 by U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath in Delaware is a "decided
negative" for holders of WaMu securities known as Piers.  If Judge
Walrath's opinion holds up in the event of appeal, it could be a
precedent useful for purchasers of mortgage-backed securities
aiming to sue affiliates of companies that sold or originated the
mortgages.

Mr. Rochelle relates that WaMu's bank subsidiary originated the
mortgages that were packaged and sold to Tranquility by WaMu Asset
Acceptance Corp., a subsidiary of the bank. Tranquility contends
the WaMu holding company is liable as a so-called control person
under Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and a similar
California law.

According to the report, WaMu filed papers asking Judge Walrath to
dismiss the claim as legally insufficient on its face.  Although
she ruled against WaMu, the judge didn't rule definitively that
WaMu is liable on the $49 million claims.  She concluded that
Tranquility's claim withstands initial attack by laying out a
valid theory and sufficient facts to sustain the claim at the
early stages of litigation.

Judge Walrath, the report relates, said Tranquility established
the holding company's liability as a "control person."  Reading
the law, she said that the question of "culpable participation"
isn't an issue until the facts have been developed in pretrial
discovery.  Judge Walrath also ruled against WaMu in her
conclusion that Tranquility sufficiently stated facts showing
material assistance.  On a second question of importance in other
bankruptcies, Judge Walrath concluded that Tranquility's claim
can't be subordinated under Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
because the WaMu parent was not the issuer of the securities. That
section provides that claims for damages arising from the sale of
securities are subordinated to claims on the securities
themselves.

                     About Washington Mutual

Based in Seattle, Washington, Washington Mutual Inc. --
http://www.wamu.com/-- was the holding company for Washington
Mutual Bank as well as numerous non-bank subsidiaries.

Washington Mutual Bank was taken over on Sept. 25, 2008, by U.S.
government regulators. The next day, WaMu and its affiliate, WMI
Investment Corp., filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. D. Del. 08-12229 and 08-12228, respectively). WaMu owns
100% of the equity in WMI Investment. When WaMu filed for
protection from its creditors, it disclosed assets of
$32,896,605,516 and debts of $8,167,022,695. WMI Investment
estimated assets of $500 million to $1 billion with zero debts.

WaMu is represented by Brian Rosen, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP in New York City; Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards,
Layton & Finger P.A. in Wilmington, Del.; and Peter Calamari,
Esq., and David Elsberg, Esq., at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver &
Hedges, LLP. The Debtor tapped Valuation Research Corporation as
valuation service provider for certain assets.

Fred S. Hodara, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Fled LLP in New
York, and David B. Stratton, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP in
Wilmington, Del., represent the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors. Stephen D. Susman, Esq., at Susman Godfrey LLP and
William P. Bowden, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., represent the
Equity Committee. The official committee of equity security
holders also tapped BDO USA as its tax advisor. Stacey R.
Friedman, Esq., at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Adam G. Landis,
Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP in Wilmington, Del., represent
JPMorgan Chase, which acquired the WaMu bank unit's assets prior
to the Petition Date.

On Jan. 7, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a 107-page opinion
determining that the global settlement agreement, among certain
parties including WMI, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
and JPMorgan, upon which the Plan is premised, and the
transactions contemplated therein, are fair, reasonable, and in
the best interests of WMI. However, the Opinion and related order
denied confirmation, but suggested certain modifications to the
Company's Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors that, if
made, would facilitate confirmation.

WaMu filed a Modified Sixth Amended Joint Plan and a related
Supplemental Disclosure Statement, which it believes would address
the Bankruptcy Court's concerns.

On Sept. 13, 2011, Judge Walrath denied confirmation of WaMu's
Modified Sixth Amended Plan and granted equity committee standing
to prosecute claims for equitable disallowance but stayed the
ruling pending mediation.

WaMu said it would seek confirmation of a revised plan "as soon as
practicable."

The Plan proposes to pay more than $7 billion to creditors and
incorporates a global settlement agreement resolving issues among
the Debtors, JPMorgan Chase, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
in its corporate capacity and as receiver for WaMu Bank, certain
large creditors, certain WMB senior noteholders, and the
creditors' committee. The Settlement Noteholders are Appaloosa
Management, L.P., Aurelius Capital Management LP, Centerbridge
Partners, LP, and Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P.


WENTWORTH HILLS: Court Rejects Mansfield Bank's Plan Objection
--------------------------------------------------------------
Wentworth Hills, LLC and Wentworth Hills Property Operator, LLC,
have proposed a joint chapter 11 plan under which the secured
claim of Mansfield Cooperative Bank would be "crammed down" to the
value of its collateral -- $1.3 million by the Debtors' reckoning,
$2.45 million by Mansfield's -- and paid monthly payments thereon
for five years at 5% interest according a 25-year amortization
schedule, with the balance due on the fifth anniversary of
confirmation.  Mansfield (i) takes issue with the Debtors'
valuation of its collateral and has objected to confirmation on
the grounds that (ii) the interest rate for payment of its secured
claim should be 7% instead of 5%, (iii) the plan is not feasible,
and (iv) the plan was not proposed in good faith.

In his Dec. 16, 2011 Memorandum of Decision and Order available at
http://is.gd/PYKMSEfrom Leagle.com, Bankruptcy Judge Frank J.
Bailey determine the value of the secured claim to be $1,953,000,
concluded that the Debtors have appropriately fixed the rate of
interest at 5%, found that the plan is feasible, and held that the
plan has been proposed in good faith.  The Court overruled
Mansfield's objections to confirmation and issued a procedural
order governing the sale of the Debtors' equity interests.

Boston, Massachusetts-based Wentworth Hills LLC owns a golf
course.  Wentworth Hills LLC and Wentworth Hills Property Operator
LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Mass.
Case No. 11-11448) on Feb. 24, 2011.  Kathleen R. Cruickshank,
Esq., Murphy & King P.C. represents the Debtors.  In its petition,
Wentworth Hills LLC estimated both assets and debts of between
$1 million and $10 million.


WEST END: Becomes Test Case for Time Record Lumping
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that New York law firm Robinson Brog Leinwand Greene
Genovese & Gluck PC finds itself in the unenviable position of
being the test case deciding whether strict rules about time-
keeping in bankruptcy cases can be applied to force a law firm to
pay back fees received before bankruptcy.  The issue will be
decided by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart M. Bernstein in the
Chapter 11 reorganization of fund adviser West End Financial
Advisors LLC.

The report relates that Judge Bernstein appointed New York lawyer
Albert Togut in June to serve as a fee examiner.  He charged Mr.
Togut with issuing a report on whether Robinson Brog should be
required to pay back allegedly excessive fees received before the
Chapter 11 filing.

Mr. Rochelle says that Mr. Togut issued his report, concluding
that Robinson Brog should give back $163,500 in pre-bankruptcy
fees, largely on account of what's known in bankruptcy circles as
"lumping."  Mr. Togut also determined that the firm should give
back $254,000 as a preference on account of overdue fees paid
within 90 days before bankruptcy.

Mr. Rochelle notes that in bankruptcy cases, lawyers won't be paid
fees if they commit a sin known as lumping.  Lumping occurs when a
lawyer aggregates time records without breaking down how much time
was spent on each assignment each day.  A preference is a payment
on an overdue due within 90 days of bankruptcy.

Robinson Brog, according to the Bloomberg report, objected to Mr.
Togut's conclusions and scheduled a Jan. 10 hearing.  Compared
with Mr. Togut's demand for a total of $417,500, Robinson Brog is
prepared to give up $132,500.  Mr. Togut admitted that Robinson
Brog's client was "extremely satisfied" with the services for
which the firm was paid $2.6 million.  Mr. Togut recommended
forcing the firm to pay back $163,500 on account of faulty time
records on pre-bankruptcy work.  Mr. Togut didn't contend the
records were inadequate.  He mostly found them deficient for
"lumping."  By way of compromise, Robinson Brog is willing to give
up $16,000 for lumping.  The case thus gives Judge Bernstein a
chance to rule on whether post-bankruptcy standards for time
records apply to pre-bankruptcy work.  The firm calculates its
preference liability at $132,500, compared with Mr. Togut's demand
for $254,000.

WINGATE AIRPORT: Seeks OK of $2MM Bridge From Lenders Mortgage
--------------------------------------------------------------
Wingate Airport South, LLC, has filed an amended motion for
authorization to obtain postpetition bridge financing from Lenders
Mortgage in the amount of $2,000,000 with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Nevada.

The Debtor also asks the Court for authorization to make the
payments to both secured and unsecured creditors pursuant to the
Disclosure Statement and Plan filed on Oct. 17, 2011, and as
amended on Nov. 8, 2011, upon approval of the same by the

bridge loan to fund its Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and
another to complete its project.

The bridge loan will be funded by Lenders Mortgage.  The amount of
the loan is $2,000,000 and has a term of one year.  The interest
rate will be 15% p.a., interest only monthly payments, with a
minimum of 4 months interest to be paid.  A five-point loan fee
will be paid to Lenders Mortgage at funding ($100,000).  This loan
is dependent upon the $1,100,000 existing Deed Trust and all other
monetary liens being released.  Ron Robinson, Energy Trust, uta
dated March 16, 1983, and The Scotsman Trust, uta dated June 1,
1996, will be guarantors of the loan.

The final loan for the construction of the project will be funded
through Fundamentum Capital Solutions, LLC, and is for the
principal sum of $22,000,000.  The security for this loan "shall
be liens on all existing and future Land, Buildings, and
Infrastructure, and Fixtures".  The interest rate will be a fixed
rate of 7%, as computed on the loan balance.  The term loan is for
five (5) years.  An origination fee of 2.5% is due to be paid in
full at closing.  No interest or principal payments are to be made
during the initial 18 month period.

* Shop's Closing, Owner's Bankruptcy Complicate Overhaul Argument
-----------------------------------------------------------------

* Survey Reveals One in Three Lawyers Plans to Add Staff in 1Q
--------------------------------------------------------------
Approximately one in three (31%) lawyers interviewed for the
quarterly Robert Half Legal Hiring Index plans to add legal staff
in the first quarter of 2012, while 4% plan reductions in
personnel.  The net 27% increase in projected hiring activity is
up three points from the previous quarter's forecast.  Law firms
are expected to do the majority of the hiring in the next three
months.

The survey was developed by Robert Half Legal, a premier legal
staffing firm specializing in lawyers, paralegals and other highly
skilled legal professionals.  It was conducted by an independent
research firm and is based on telephone interviews with 100
lawyers at law firms with 20 or more employees, and 100 corporate
lawyers at companies with 1,000 or more employees.  All of the
respondents have hiring authority within their organizations.

                            Key Findings

The net 27% of lawyers expecting to hire is up three points from a
net 24% increase in hiring activity projected last quarter.
Lawyers interviewed plan to add an average of two full-time
positions.

Lawyers, paralegals and legal secretaries are the three most in-
demand positions.

Bankruptcy and foreclosure, litigation, and labor and employment
law are the practice areas expected to see the most growth in the
first quarter.

More than half (51 percent) of lawyers said it is challenging to
find skilled legal professionals, up two points from the previous
quarter.

Seventy-three percent of lawyers are somewhat or very confident in
their companies' prospects for growth in the next three months;
this represents a nine-point drop from the fourth quarter of 2011.

Hiring Trends"Although law firms continue to have a cautious
hiring outlook, they're optimistic enough about their prospects to
want to add full-time staff in key legal and support positions
that bolster growth," said Charles Volkert, executive director of
Robert Half Legal.  "They continue to focus on hiring senior- and
partner-level lawyers with substantial books of business and
expertise in high-demand practice areas, such as bankruptcy and
foreclosure, litigation, and labor and employment law."

Twenty-nine percent of lawyers identified bankruptcy and
foreclosure as the area of law that will experience the most
growth in the next three months.  Litigation received 23 percent
of the response, followed by labor and employment law (12
percent).

"Corporations are hiring full-time legal staff and project
professionals in an ongoing effort to bring more work in-house and
reduce outside legal spending," said Volkert.  "General counsel
are handling more matters internally in areas such as corporate
transactional, labor and employment, intellectual property,
litigation and regulatory law."

Law firms and corporate legal departments expect to hire an
average of two full-time positions in the first quarter of 2012,
according to survey respondents.  Those interviewed indicated they
will most likely hire lawyers (88 percent), paralegals (39%) and
legal secretaries (35%).

"Law firms and corporate legal departments place a premium on
candidates with proven skills and relevant experience who can fill
gaps in expertise and make immediate contributions," Volkert
added. "Experienced lawyers continue to have a hiring edge, while
employers also value seasoned paralegals and legal secretaries."

               About The Robert Half Legal Hiring Index

The Robert Half Legal Hiring Index is based on 200 telephone
interviews with lawyers: 100 of the respondents are employed at
firms with 20 or more employees, and 100 are employed at companies
with 1,000 or more employees.

The interviews were conducted by an independent research firm.
Information from the study is featured in The Robert Half
Professional Employment Report, launched in 2010 and the first
study of its kind to monitor the hiring environment for
professional-level positions exclusively.  Based on more than
4,000 telephone interviews with executives throughout the United
States, it provides insight on employment trends to help
businesses and job seekers prepare for the upcoming quarter.


* Investors Seek More Data on Bank Loans to Municipalities
----------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that investors and
rating agencies are clamoring for more information about a small
but growing corner of municipal finance: bank loans.


* Fitch Expects Beverages Sector to Have Stable Outlook in 2012
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects the U.S. Beverage sector to have a mostly
stable outlook in 2012 despite the potential risk of transactional
events.

Fitch forecasts that credit statistics will improve in 2012 as
companies' operating incomes grow.  As commodity pricing
moderates, Fitch expects non-alcoholic beverage companies to
experience margin expansion in the second half of 2012 along with
slightly higher volume growth.

Alcoholic beverage companies within Fitch's rated universe have
reduced debt materially, and forecasted operating income growth
will lead to even better credit metrics.  Upgrades are possible
for the alcoholic beverage companies if they sustain credit
profiles commensurate with higher rating categories.

While Fitch's rated universe consists of mature companies in a
mature industry that historically have been reluctant to issue
equity to fund acquisitions, the agency believes acquisitions that
are unpredictable in size, frequency or funding may pose
additional risk for ratings, particularly if those events initiate
an arms race of acquisitions among competitors.

Negative rating action could also result from shareholder-friendly
activities such as large debt-financed share buyback programs,
which may push leverage higher if undertaken to a significant
degree.

The following is a list of Fitch-rated issuers and their current
Issuer Default Ratings:

  -- Beam, Inc. ('BBB-'; Outlook Positive)

Broadcast media companies have been hard hit by the recession.  As
a result, creditors are forced to evaluate strategic alternatives
in and outside of bankruptcy.  The key asset of a broadcast media
company is its broadcast license issued by the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC").  Before restructuring of a
broadcast media company can be consummated, FCC regulations
present various obstacles that must be cleared.  This article
identifies some of the practical issues that arise in
restructuring a troubled broadcast media company in chapter 11 and
some tips to effectively deal with these issues.

     A. Sale Strategy:  Potential Delay and Credit Bidding Risks

A common strategy to deal with a distressed business is to sell
the company's assets (or its equity) to a strategic or financial
buyer.  The sale of a broadcast license (or the equity of the
direct or indirect owner of the license), however, requires FCC
approval, thus complicating an otherwise straightforward
transaction.  The length of the FCC's approval process depends, in
large part, on whether the sale is contested.  If the sale is
uncontested, the approval process generally takes 45-90 days.  If,
however, the sale is contested, the approval process can take
several months (even years).

Potential delay in the sale context can be mitigated by entering
into a local marketing agreement with the seller/licensee.  Under
a local marketing agreement, or "LMA," the seller/licensee sells
blocks of broadcast time to the proposed purchaser, which then
supplies the programming and sells commercials.[1]  While the
broadcast license itself and ultimate control of all programming
decisions must remain with the seller/licensee, an LMA can provide
a prospective purchaser, as LMA broker, with a substantial portion
of the benefits and burdens of operating the business.  Once the
FCC approves the sale, the LMA is terminated.

An additional wrinkle in the sale strategy concerns the secured
creditor's ability to credit bid for the broadcast license.  As a
general matter, a secured creditor cannot obtain a lien on a
broadcast license, but can obtain a lien on the proceeds of the
sale of that license.[2]  The lack of a lien on the license itself
presents a potential problem in the credit bid context because a
secured creditor can only credit bid for "property that is subject
to a lien."   See 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363(k), see also U.C.C. 9-620.[3]
This problem, however, is often mitigated by the fact that many
media companies hold their broadcast license in a single purpose
subsidiary, the stock of which is pledged to the secured lender of
the operating company.  Under this structure, the secured creditor
may credit bid for the stock of the licensee subsidiary.

     B. Debt to Equity Conversion

Another common restructuring strategy involves de-levering the
company's balance sheet through bankruptcy by converting debt to
equity under a reorganization plan.  For broadcast companies, this
strategy (like the sale strategy) requires FCC approval for the
change in control of the FCC licensee.  Thus, the reorganization
plan strategy can suffer from the same extensive delays associated
with the sale strategy if FCC approval is contested.

Potential delay in the plan context can be mitigated by using a
liquidating trust.[4]  Under this structure, the reorganization
plan contemplates the transfer of the broadcast license to a
liquidating trust pending FCC approval of the transfer of the
change in the equity ownership of the FCC licensee.  The FCC
permits the temporary transfer of a broadcast license (or the
equity of a company that controls the broadcast license) to a
liquidating trust using a so-called "short form" application, thus
eliminating (at least in the short run) the public review period
and potential transfer objections.[5]  Once the short form
application is approved by the FCC, the reorganized debtor issues
beneficial interests in the liquidating trust to creditors who
have agreed to take equity under the reorganization plan (to the
extent the creditors comply with the FCC's ownership restrictions,
discussed below).  After the broadcast license is transferred to
the liquidating trust, the debtor may close its bankruptcy case
(even though FCC approval of the transfer to the purchaser is
still pending), thus saving the costs associated with maintaining
its bankruptcy estate.[6]

To ultimately transfer control of the broadcast license from the
trust to the proposed purchaser, the trust must file a so-called
"long-form" application with the FCC.  Once filed, the FCC
provides the public with a 30 day period to object to the license
transfer.[7]  If there are no objections to the transfer, and the
FCC considers the proposed new owner qualified, the application
may be approved shortly after the notice period ends.  There is no
limit, though, on how long the FCC may review an application.
If the FCC does not approve the transfer, then the purchaser may
direct the trustee to sell the broadcast license and distribute
the proceeds to the trust beneficiaries.  Because a liquidating
trust may exist for five years (or longer) under U.S. tax law,
lenders should not be required to sell the license at fire sale
prices.[8]

The transfer of the broadcast license to a liquidating trust under
a reorganization plan is beneficial because it allows the debtor
to confirm its plan without being paralyzed by potential delays
associated with the FCC approval process.  This strategy, however,
may be complicated because it requires a well-drafted trust
agreement and authorizations from the FCC, the bankruptcy court,
and the IRS.  In addition to FCC approval of the short-form
application, the debtor should also request an advance ruling from
the IRS that the trust will qualify as a "liquidating trust."[9]
The IRS has provided a list of conditions which, if met, should
ensure that the trust is treated as a liquidating trust for U.S.
tax purposes.[10]

     C. Other Key Issues

          1. Ownership Limitations

When restructuring a broadcast media company, careful
consideration must be given to FCC regulations regarding ownership
eligibility.  The FCC's ownership rules are designed to ensure
diversity in media markets.  To accomplish this, the FCC limits
the aggregate number of radio and television stations any entity
(or group of entities under common control) can own or control (a)
by market ("Multiple Ownership Rules") and (b) by media property
type ("Cross Ownership Rules").[11]   These rules may implicate
media properties that are not even regulated by the FCC.  For
example, an entity that owns a newspaper generally may not hold a
broadcast license in the same market.[12]

Additionally, a potential purchaser's financial interests in other
media properties-whether equity, debt, or both-are also considered
by the FCC.  The FCC's so-called "attribution" rules are designed
to identify entities with interests in or relationships with
broadcast licensees that confer a degree of influence or control
such that the entity could potentially affect the licensees'
programming decisions.[13]  The FCC views any entity with an
attributable interest in a media property as an owner of that
property for purposes of applying its Multiple and Cross Ownership
rules.

          2. FCC Foreign Ownership Rules Further Restrict
Ownership

The FCC also restricts foreign ownership or control of any
broadcast license.[14]  Foreign entities may hold no more than 20%
of a licensee's ownership or voting rights directly, and either
25% of the equity or voting rights of a corporation that controls
the licensee.[15]  Determining foreign ownership can be
particularly challenging for purchasers whose stock is publicly
traded or who have off-shore funds that participated in the
debtor's financing.  Publicly traded companies have used a variety
of means to satisfy the FCC's foreign ownership analysis,
including employment of a separate restrictive class of stock for
alien owners, and the compiling of citizenship information for
each stockholder by the corporation's stock transfer agent.[16]
Off-shore funds have devised several solutions to these foreign
ownership restrictions, including issuing warrants to foreign
members that are exercisable only upon a subsequent sale of the
reorganized debtor.

     D. Conclusion

Debt for equity exchanges in media companies are complex.  Lenders
with attributable interests in media properties that do not meet
the FCC's stringent ownership requirements can doom a sale or a
debtor's reorganization plan.  Thus, it is critical for lenders to
work with counsel early in the process.

1246, released Jun. 17, 1997.

     [2] While courts routinely hold that lenders cannot obtain a
security interest in a broadcast license itself, there is a split
regarding whether a lender can obtain a security interest in
proceeds from the sale of a broadcast license.  See In re Ridgely
Communications, Inc., 139 B.R. 374, 377 (Bankr. D. Md. 1992)
(held, licensee has limited right to grant security interest in
proceeds of an FCC-approved transfer of a broadcast license), MLQ
Investors, L.P. v. Pacific Quadracasting, Inc., 146 F.3d 746, 748
(9th Cir. 1998) (same), but see Spectrum Scan LLC v. Valley Bank &
Trust Co. (In re Tracy Broad. Corp.), 438 B.R. 323, 328 (Bankr. D.
Colo. 2010), aff'd, No. 10-02522-WYD, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97786
(D. Col. Aug. 31, 2011) (held, lender had no prepetition security
interest in broadcast license or proceeds from sale thereof to a
third party approved by the FCC).  The scope of a secured lender's
security interest in the proceeds of a broadcast license sale is
beyond the scope of this article; however, it is an important
issue for lenders to consider when documenting prepetition loan
agreements and working with borrowers in restructuring scenarios.

     [3] Although the UCC does not explicitly authorize a secured
creditor to credit bid instead of paying cash for assets on which
it has a lien, it does grant it a right to buy the collateral
without limiting the form of acceptable payment.  See In re Finova
Capital Corp., 61 UCC Rep. 2d 413, 2006 WL 3512084 (Bankr. D. Del.
2006).  The UCC, however, restricts a secured lender to purchasing
its collateral in a public sale.  This restriction contrasts with
the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that "unless the court for
cause orders otherwise" a secured lender the may credit bid its
claim.  See 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363(k); but see In re Philadelphia
Newspapers, 599 F.3d 298 (3d Cir. 2010).

     [4] See, e.g., Regent Communications, Inc. No. 10-10632
(Bankr. D. Del. Apr. 12, 2010) [Dkt No. 225] (confirming plan of
reorganization and finding that a liquidating trust to hold FCC
licenses was an "essential element of the Plan"); In re ION Media
Networks, Inc., No. 09-13125 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Dec. 3, 2009) [Dkt
No. 453] (same).

     [5] 47 C.F.R. Sec. 75.3540(f)(4).  Practically speaking, a
party could object to the transfer of the license in the
bankruptcy case; however, a bankruptcy court's review of those
objections will be considerably faster than the FCC's public
review process.

     [6] See, e.g., 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1930(a)(6) (quarterly fees
payable to the United States Trustee cease when the case is
dismissed).  In addition, professional fees for committees also
stop accruing.

     [7] The FCC provides public notice of the filing of a long
form application to assign the license within seven days of
receipt of the application.  The applicant must also provide
notice of the filing via local media.  See 47 C.F.R. 73.3580.

     [8] See Revenue Procedure 94-95, Sec. 3.06 ("The trust
instrument must contain a fixed or determinable termination date
that is generally not more than 5 years from the date of creation
of the trust and that is reasonable based on all the facts and
circumstances . . . .").

     [9] The IRS is bound by an advance ruling unless the taxpayer
misrepresents facts in its advance ruling request.  The IRS ruling
references plans of reorganization only; thus, it appears that a
trust mechanism is unavailable in a sale under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

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

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
