AAIPHARMA INC: Cut Loose From Darvocet, Darvon MDL Suits
--------------------------------------------------------
Juan Carlos Rodriguez at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a Kentucky
federal judge on Tuesday tossed 17 lawsuits against AAIPharma LLC,
NeoSan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and AAIPharma Development Services
Inc. in a multidistrict litigation over injuries tied to
painkillers Darvocet and Darvon, saying the plaintiffs couldn't
prove who made the drugs they took.

Bankruptcy Law360 says the suits claim the companies, as well as
Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Eli Lilly & Co., failed to
address cardiac risks associated with the painkillers, which
contain the active ingredient propoxyphene.

                       About aaiPharma Inc.

Headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, aaiPharma Inc. --
http://aaipharma.com/-- provides product development services to
the pharmaceutical industry and sells pharmaceutical products that
primarily target pain management.  AAI operates two divisions:
AAI Development Services and Pharmaceuticals Division.

The Company and eight of its debtor-affiliates filed for chapter
11 protection on May 10, 2005 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 05-11341).
Karen McKinley, Esq., and Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards,
Layton & Finger, P.A.; Jenn Hanson, Esq., and Gary L. Kaplan,
Esq., at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP; and the
firm of Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson, P.A., represent the Debtors
in their restructuring efforts.  When the Debtors filed for
bankruptcy, they reported $323,323,000 in consolidated assets and
consolidated debts totaling $446,693,000.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 9, 2006,
aaiPharma Inc. has emerged from chapter 11, and the Company's
Joint Chapter 11 Plan has become effective.

The Company's Joint Chapter 11 Plan was confirmed by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Jan. 20, 2006.
The Company's chapter 11 process included a sale of substantially
all of the assets of its pharmaceutical division in July 2005 and
the restructuring of the Company's business around its development
services division.


ACTIVECARE INC: Had $2.4 Million Net Loss in June 30 Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
ActiveCare, Inc., reported a net loss of $2.44 million on $432,296
of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared
with a net loss of $2.90 million on $184,899 of revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 2011.

According to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
derivative loss was $1.32 million and $0 in the quarters ended
June 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net
loss of $8.41 million on $781,779 of revenues, compared with a net
loss of $6.24 million on $573,667 of revenues for the nine months
ended June 30, 2011.

Derivative loss was $1.35 million and $0 in the nine months ended
June 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.08 million
in total assets, $5.34 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $3.26 million.

"Even though the Company had a positive gross margin for the three
months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred a negative gross
margin and has negative cash flows from operating activities for
the years ended Sept. 30, 2011, and 2010, and for the nine months
ended June 30, 2012.  These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern."

"In order for the Company to remove substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern, the Company must continue
to improve gross margins and generate positive cash flows from
operations and obtain the necessary funding to meet its projected
capital investment requirements."

ability to continue as a going concern, following the Company's
results for the year ended Sept. 30, 2011.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred recurring
operating losses and has an accumulated deficit.


AE BIOFUELS: Inks License Agreement with Chevron Lummus
-------------------------------------------------------
Aemetis, Inc., formerly known as AE Biofuels Inc., has signed a
license agreement with Chevron Lummus Global for the inexpensive,
rapid production of renewable jet and diesel fuel by the
conversion of existing biofuels and petroleum refineries.  The
license agreement grants Aemetis Advanced Fuels Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Aemetis, the use of the Biofuels ISOCONVERSION
Process for the production of 100% drop-in renewable jet fuel and
diesel in Aemetis biorefineries throughout North America.

"Chevron Lummus Global is a technology leader in hydroprocessing
technology with more than 400 refinery units operating worldwide,"
stated Leon de Bruyn, Managing Director of CLG.  "The Biofuels
ISOCONVERSION Process is different from other licensed
technologies in that the biodiesel and biojet produced from the
unit are truly fungible fuel products meeting all ASTM and
military quality specifications.  This offers our clients a unique
advantage by eliminating the need to blend petroleum derived
diesel and jet into biofuels to meet current quality
requirements."

"As an experienced biofuels company that is already operating
refineries in the US and Asia, Aemetis brings significant momentum
to the commercialization of this revolutionary renewable jet and
diesel fuel production process developed by Chevron Lummus Global
and ARA," said Chuck Red, Program Manager at ARA.

"This technology is ideally suited for the conversion of existing
biofuels production facilities by utilizing the rail siding,
feedstock unloading, raw material storage tanks, power generation
units, Clean In Place system, neat fuel storage tanks and loadout
equipment," said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis.
"Expanding or converting existing biofuels and refining facilities
to use the Biofuels ISOCONVERSION Process accelerates the scale up
of production to supply the 70 billion gallon per year global
market for jet fuel and the 50 billion gallon US market for
diesel."

                         About AE Biofuels

AE Biofuels, Inc. (OTC BB: AEBF) -- http://www.aebiofuels.com/--
is a biofuels company based in Cupertino, California, developing
sustainable solutions to address the world's renewable energy
needs.  The Company is commercializing its patent-pending next-
generation cellulosic ethanol technology that enables the
production of biofuels from both non-food and traditional
feedstocks.  Its wholly-owned Universal Biofuels subsidiary built
and operates a nameplate 50 million gallon per year biodiesel
production facility on the east coast of India.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.72 million on $1.59 million
of sales for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2010, compared with
a net loss of $3.78 million on $4.05 million of sales for the same
period a year earlier.

BDO Seidman, LLP, in San Jose, Calif., expressed substantial doubt
about AE Biofuels' ability to continue as a going concern,
following the Company's 2009 results.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company has incurred recurring losses, and has a
working capital deficit and total stockholders' deficit as of
Dec. 31, 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed
$20.23 million in total assets, $29.03 million in total
liabilities, all current, and a stockholders' deficit of
$8.80 million.  The Company has not filed financial reports after
filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2010.


AFA FOODS: Finds Buyer for Last Facility
----------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that AFA Foods Inc. now has a buyer for its last plant, in
New York.  Controlled by Yucaipa Cos., AFA already sold plants in
California, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas.  Having lined up a
buyer for the last facility, the company is soliciting other bids
by Aug. 27.  There will be an auction on Aug. 28, followed by a
hearing on Aug. 29 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware for
approval of the sale.  A group of four buyers will pay
$2.21 million, unless outbid at auction.

                        About AFA Foods

King of Prussia, Pennsylvania-based AFA Foods Inc. is one of the
largest processors of ground beef products in the United States.
The Company has five processing facilities and two ancillary
facilities across the country with annual processing capacity of
800 million pounds.  AFA has seven facilities capable of producing
800 million pound of ground beef annually.  Revenue in 2011 was
$958 million.

Yucaipa Cos. acquired the business in 2008 and currently owns 92%
of the common stock and all of the preferred stock.

AFA Foods, AFA Investment Inc. and other affiliates filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 12-11127) on
April 2, 2012, after recent changes in the market for its ground
beef products and the impact of negative media coverage related to
boneless lean beef trimmings -- BLBT -- affected sales.

Judge Mary Walrath presides over the case.  Lawyers at Jones Day
and Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP serve as the Debtors'
counsel.  FTI Consulting Inc. serves as financial advisors and
Imperial Capital LLC serves as marketing consultants.  Kurtzman
Carson Consultants LLC serves as noticing and claims agent.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed seven
members to the official committee of unsecured creditors in the
Chapter 11 cases of AFA Investment Inc., AFA Foods and their
debtor-affiliates.  The Committee has obtained approval to hire
McDonald Hopkins LLC as lead counsel and Potter Anderson &
Corroon LLP serves as co-counsel.  The Committee also obtained
approval to retain J.H. Cohn LLP as its financial advisor, nunc
pro tunc to April 13, 2012.

The Chapter 11 case is being financed with a loan of about $60
million provided by existing lenders General Electric Capital
Corp. and Bank of America Corp.  Prepetition liabilities included
$11.5 million on a term loan and $47.9 million on a revolving
credit owed to first-lien lenders GECC and Bank of America.

Sales of the assets generated enough to cover the first lien, AFA
said.  An affiliate of Yucaipa Cos. has a $75.6 million second
lien.  There was $60 million owing to trade suppliers, according
to court filing.

AGS HOLDINGS: S&P Withdraws 'B-' Issuer Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its ratings, including
its 'B-' issuer credit rating, on Las Vegas, Nev.-based AGS
Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries at the issuer's request. "The
company refinanced its existing debt with new terms loans, which
we have not been asked to rate. While the transaction eliminates
near-term debt maturities, we believe the 'B-' rating would have
been unaffected by the refinancing, based on our assessment of
AGS's business risk profile as 'vulnerable' and its financial risk
profile as 'highly leveraged,' according to our criteria," S&P
said.


ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS: S&P Keeps 'BB' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BBB-' issue-level
rating to Alliant Techsystems Inc.'s $200 million incremental
secured term loan due 2017. Alliant intends to use the proceeds--
plus cash on hand--to redeem $400 million of its 6.75%
subordinated notes. "We also assigned a '1' recovery rating to the
debt, indicating our expectation for very high (90%-100%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default," S&P said.

The 'BB' corporate credit rating is unchanged. The outlook remains
negative, reflecting risks to the company's government programs.

"The existing issue ratings are also unchanged. The addition to
secured debt implies less value available for both the existing
secured and subordinated creditors. However, the somewhat lower
recovery for secured debt is still within the bounds of our high
recovery category. With respect to the lower priority debt, we
also see no meaningful change in the recovery prospects, given the
anticipated offsetting reduction in the amount of such debt from
Alliant's redemption of the 6.75% subordinated notes," S&P said.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: US Air, AMR Pilots Agree on Seniority Lists
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that pilots at US Airways Group Inc. and AMR Corp. worked
out the terms of a tentative contract to accompany a merger of the
two airlines.  The contract would meld seniority lists from both
airlines, surmounting a perennial problem anytime airlines merge.

According to the report, the board of the union for the American
Airlines pilots approved taking a strike authorization vote once
the company implements the new contract the bankruptcy judge said
he would approve once changes are made.  There is a hearing
scheduled on Sept. 4 for court approval of the revised contract
the union unsuccessfully opposed.

The Bloomberg report disclosed that under a decision from the U.S.
Court of Appeals in Manhattan arising in the bankruptcy
reorganization of Northwest Airlines Inc., union workers at an
airline can't strike even if the court lowers wages and benefits
without the workers' consent.  The union and the airline must
negotiate until the National Mediation Board declares impasse.

                      About American Airlines

third largest airline in the United States, filed for bankruptcy

ASPEN GROUP: Had $1.7 Million Net Loss in Second Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------
Aspen Group, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $1.7 million on $1.4 million of revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a net
loss of $308,679 on $950,592 of revenues for the same period
last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss
of $3.4 million on $2.8 million of revenues, compared with a net
loss of $350,821 on $2.0 million of revenues for the same period a
year earlier.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $3.7 million
in total assets, $5.6 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $1.9 million.

The Company had a net loss allocable to common stockholders of
$3.5 million and negative cash flows from operations of
$2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  "The
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on
securing additional debt or equity financing from outside
investors.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern."

"Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and
to fund operations by raising additional capital through the
issuance of debt and equity securities.  The Company has presently
engaged a placement agent, Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., to assist
with raising up to $7,200,000 in additional debt and equity
capital subsequent to the close of the merger with Aspen Group,
Inc.  Since the beginning of 2012, the Company has raised
$2,306,000 in gross funding including $1,706,000 from the sale of
convertible notes and warrants under the Laidlaw arrangement and
$600,000 from the sale of convertible notes to the Company's CEO."

A copy of the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30,
2012, is available for free at http://is.gd/FdxqRD

The Company also filed Amendment No. 1 to its quarterly report for
the three months ended March 31, 2012, filed on May 15, 2012.
According to the Company, the Amendment was necessary to reflect a
restatement relating to the write-off of a loan receivable of
approximately $2.2 million owed by a corporation which is believed
to still be controlled by Aspen's former Chairman.  The Amendment
was also necessary to reflect the failure to record an accrued
expense of $163,545.  "Except as otherwise stated herein, no other
information contained in the Initial 10-Q has been updated by this
report, and no disclosures have been updated to reflect events
that occurred at a later date."

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, rose to $1.4 million
from $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an
increase of 34.7%.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Aspen's operations produced
a net loss of $1.8 million as compared with the prior year first
quarter's net loss of $42,142.

ATLANTIC BROADBAND: Moody's Assigns 'B1' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B1 corporate family and
probability of default ratings to Atlantic Broadband Operating
Holdings, as well as a Ba3 rating to its proposed senior secured
first lien credit facilities and an SGL-2 liquidity rating. The
outlook is stable. Moody's also withdrew all ratings of
predecessor company Atlantic Broadband Finance, LLC as part of a
corporate reorganization resulting from the pending acquisition of
Atlantic Broadband by Cogeco Cable Inc (Cogeco) from private
equity owners, expected to close before the end of 2012. The
effective upgrade from the prior B2 CFR at Atlantic Broadband
Finance, LLC is based upon a modest decrease in leverage on
closing and ownership by a strong strategic owner more likely to
favor a conservative capital structure than private equity.

The proposed transaction reduces Atlantic Broadband's leverage to
6.2 times debt-to-EBITDA from 6.7 times. Even after increasing
debt to fund the acquisition, Cogeco will have a reasonably strong
financial profile, with the capacity to provide solid sponsorship
despite the absence of guarantees on the proposed Atlantic
Broadband debt. Moody's estimates Cogeco's leverage will increase
to approximately 2.8 times debt-to-EBITDA pro forma for the
transaction from 1.9 times (based on trailing twelve months EBITDA
through May 31).

Atlantic Broadband Operating Holdings

    Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B1

    Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B1

    Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-2

    Senior Secured First Lien Revolver, Assigned Ba3, LGD3, 36%

    Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan, Assigned Ba3, LGD3, 36%

Atlantic Broadband Finance, LLC (Old)

    Corporate Family Rating, Withdrawn, previously rated B2

    Probability of Default Rating, Withdrawn, previously rated B2

    Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Withdrawn, previously
    rated SGL-2

Ratings Rationale

Atlantic Broadband's B1 CFR primarily reflects leverage of
slightly over 6 times debt-to-EBITDA, which poses risk for a small
company operating in a competitive environment, but the solid
EBITDA margin and good liquidity profile enable the company to
better manage the leverage. Also, Atlantic Broadband currently
benefits from a relatively more benign competitive environment
than some cable peers, with FiOS and uVerse combined operating in
only about 10% of its footprint. This environment, combined with
the recent network upgrade and plans for further investment,
positions the company well for continued high speed data (HSD)
subscriber gains and upside from its commercial business.
Nevertheless, the direct broadcast satellite operators pose
formidable competition for the mature core video product, which
still comprises about half of total revenue, and over time the
telecom operators could create a greater threat with either lower
prices or improved HSD offerings.

The stable outlook incorporates Moody's expectations for leverage
to fall to the mid 5 times debt-to-EBITDA range over the next 18
months, driven by a combination of debt reduction and EBITDA
growth. The outlook also assumes maintenance of good liquidity and
that Atlantic Broadband will continue to offset video subscriber
erosion with high speed and phone subscriber gains.

Moody's would consider an upgrade based on expectations for
debt/EBITDA sustained around 4 times and sustained high single
digit free cash flow-to-debt. An upgrade would also require
evidence of Cogeco's commitment to maintaining this more
conservative credit profile.

Moody's would consider a downgrade based on expectations for debt-
to-EBITDA to remain closer to 6 times, a deterioration of the
liquidity profile, or evidence of below-peer subscriber trends.

The principal methodology used in rating Atlantic Broadband was
the Global Cable Television Industry Methodology published in July
2009. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts, Atlantic Broadband serves
approximately 252 thousand video, 156 thousand high speed data and
72 thousand phone residential subscribers across Western
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Miami Beach and South Carolina
in addition to providing commercial video, high speed data, and
phone services within its footprint. The company was formed in
August 2003 from Charter Communications' divestiture of certain
cable assets to private equity sponsors ABRY Partners, Oak Hill
Capital Partners, and management. On July 18, Cogeco Cable, Inc.,
announced a definitive plan to acquire the company, expected to
close in late 2012. Atlantic Broadband's annual revenue is
approximately $335 million.

With headquarters in Montreal, Cogeco Cable, Inc. provides
residential customers in Ontario and Qu‚bec with television, high
speed Internet, and telephony services. Cogeco Cable also provides
advanced communication solutions to commercial customers. Its
annual revenue is approximately $1.4 billion.

AVENTINE RENEWABLE: Has Support for Out-of-Court Restructuring
--------------------------------------------------------------
Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc., has entered into a
Restructuring Agreement with 100% of its term loan lenders.  Under
the terms of this agreement the Company would convert the majority
of its outstanding term loan debt into newly issued common equity
of the Company, representing, on a fully diluted basis,
approximately 92.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock
after the issuance.

The Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved entering
into the agreement and holders of approximately 60% of its common
stock have also approved the agreement.  If completed, the Company
expects the restructuring to reduce the Company's existing debt by
approximately $135 million and significantly lower the Company's
annual cash interest expense.  As part of the transactions, the
term loan lenders have also agreed, subject to receipt of internal
credit approvals, to provide $30 million in the form of additional
indebtedness to further improve the Company's liquidity.

With the commitment of all the requisite stakeholders the
transactions are expected to be consummated without any court
approvals.  If completed, the Company expects that unsecured
creditors would not be affected by the restructuring and trade
creditors would continue to receive payments in the ordinary
course.  The transactions are targeted to close by the end of the
3rd quarter of 2012.

Completion of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring
Agreement is subject to certain customary conditions and approvals
as well as the finalization of definitive documentation.

"The Company would like to thank its lenders and significant
stakeholders for supporting its business and operations.  These
are difficult times for the industry and the consummation of these
transactions is expected to result in a much stronger balance
sheet for the Company," said John Castle, Aventine's Chief
Executive Officer.

The securities of the Company to be issued or offered and sold
to the term loan lenders in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) or Rule
506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

As reported by the TCR on July 20, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Aventine Renewable
Energy Holdings Inc. to 'CC' from 'CCC+'.  "The downgrade reflects
the company's uncertain liquidity following its announcement that
on July 6, 2012, it entered into an amendment to its credit
agreement that could effectively prevent it from drawing on its
revolving credit facility and letters of credit," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Matthew Hobby.

In the Aug. 8, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings Inc.'s Corporate Family
Rating (CFR) to Ca from Caa3 and Probability of Default Rating to
Ca/LD from Caa3.  The CFR downgrade and Ca/LD probability of
default rating reflect Moody's understanding that Aventine did not
make its scheduled July 31, 2012, term loan interest payment.

                       About Behringer Harvard

Addison, Tex.-based Behringer Harvard is a limited partnership
formed in Texas on July 30, 2002.  The Company's general partners
are Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP and Robert M. Behringer.  As
of Sept. 30, 2011, seven of the twelve properties the Company
acquired remain in the Company's  portfolio.  The Company's
Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended, provides that the
Company will continue in existence until the earlier of Dec. 31,
2017, or termination of the Partnership pursuant to the
dissolution and termination provisions of the Partnership
Agreement.

For the year ended Dec. 31 2011, Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Dallas,
Texas, noted that the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome
of settling unpaid debt and its effect on the Partnership, as well
as the Partnership's operating losses at its subsidiaries, raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  The Partnership is facing a significant amount of debt
maturities in the near future and debt which has matured but
remains unpaid, which is recourse to the Partnership.

Behringer reported a net loss of $50.15 million in 2011, a net
loss of $18.71 million in 2010, and a net loss of $15.47 million
in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$66.71 million in total assets, $84.46 million in total
liabilities, and a $17.75 million total deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

Of Behringer's $122.8 million in notes payable at March 31, 2012,
$51.3 million has matured and is subsequently in default and an
additional $50.8 million is scheduled to mature in the next twelve
months.  As of March 31, 2012, of the Company's $122.8 million in
notes payable, $110.4 million was secured by properties and $99.9
million was recourse to the Company.  The Company continues to
have negotiations and discussions with lenders to modify or
restructure loans, outcomes of which may include a sale to a third
party or returning the property to the lender.  The Company may
also consider putting certain of its subsidiaries into bankruptcy
in order to protect the Company's interest in the property.

                      About Behringer Harvard

Addison, Tex.-based Behringer Harvard is a limited partnership
formed in Texas on July 30, 2002.  The Company's general partners
are Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP and Robert M. Behringer.  As
of Sept. 30, 2011, seven of the twelve properties the Company
acquired remain in the Company's  portfolio.  The Company's
Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended, provides that the
Company will continue in existence until the earlier of Dec. 31,
2017, or termination of the Partnership pursuant to the
dissolution and termination provisions of the Partnership
Agreement.

For the year ended Dec. 31 2011, Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Dallas,
Texas, noted that the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome
of settling unpaid debt and its effect on the Partnership, as well
as the Partnership's operating losses at its subsidiaries, raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  The Partnership is facing a significant amount of debt
maturities in the near future and debt which has matured but
remains unpaid, which is recourse to the Partnership.

Behringer reported a net loss of $50.15 million in 2011, a net
loss of $18.71 million in 2010, and a net loss of $15.47 million
in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$66.71 million in total assets, $84.46 million in total
liabilities, and a $17.75 million total deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

Of Behringer's $122.8 million in notes payable at March 31, 2012,
$51.3 million has matured and is subsequently in default and an
additional $50.8 million is scheduled to mature in the next twelve
months.  As of March 31, 2012, of the Company's $122.8 million in
notes payable, $110.4 million was secured by properties and $99.9
million was recourse to the Company.  The Company continues to
have negotiations and discussions with lenders to modify or
restructure loans, outcomes of which may include a sale to a third
party or returning the property to the lender.  The Company may
also consider putting certain of its subsidiaries into bankruptcy
in order to protect the Company's interest in the property.


BERING EXPLORATION: Had $789,000 Net Loss in March 31 Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bering Exploration, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $789,307 on $24,077 of oil and gas revenue
for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a net loss
of $562,730 on $0 revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2011.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $1.3 million
in total assets, $275,766 in total liabilities, and stockholders'
equity of $1.0 million.

"The Company has not generated significant revenue since its
inception and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or
foreseeable future.  The continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its
shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary
equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of
profitable operations.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company has
accumulated losses of $7,653,653 since inception and negative
working capital of $154,882.  These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern."

systems.  The Company is not actively involved in the management
of Intertech Bio.

substantial doubt about Bering's ability to continue as a going
concern, following the Company's results for the year ended March
31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that of the
the Company's limited amounts of revenue, recurring losses from
operations and negative working capital.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Rakoff to Rule on Subsequent Recipient Suits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff will decide after a
late November hearing whether to dismiss 42 lawsuits filed by the
trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC against
banks and investors who didn't receive payments directly from the
Madoff firm.

According to the report, Irving Picard, the Madoff trustee, sued
the so-called subsequent transferees under Section 550 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, contending that they must return stolen money
even though they didn't receive it directly from Madoff.
Mr. Picard says that he is only required to show that whoever
initially received the transfer was given money stolen from other
investors.

The report relates that the subsequent transferees contend that
they can't be sued until Mr. Picard has obtained a judgment
against those who first received the transfers.  Even if
Mr. Picard wins a judgment, the subsequent transferees contend a
suit against them is barred unless it was filed within two years
of bankruptcy.  In an order filed Aug. 23, Judge Rakoff is having
the subsequent transferees file dismissal papers by Oct. 5.
Mr. Picard will file his papers on Nov. 2, giving the subsequent
transferees the right to file a final set of papers on Nov. 16.
Judge Rakoff will hear oral arguments on Nov. 30.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mr. Picard has so far made only one distribution in October of
$325 million for 1,232 customer accounts.  Uncertainty created by
the appeals has limited Mr. Picard's ability to distribute
recovered funds.  Outstanding appeals include the $5 billion
Picower settlement and the $1.025 billion settlement.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Court OKs $2.4-Bil. Payout to Madoff Victims
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Uhlman at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that victims of Bernard
Madoff's Ponzi scheme are set to begin receiving $2.4 billion from
his bogus investment firm's estate, the largest payout yet in the
3 1/2-year-old case, after a New York bankruptcy judge overruled
several objections to the distribution Wednesday.

Bankruptcy Law360 relates that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R.
Lifland, who is overseeing the long-running case -- one attorney
pegged Wednesday as its 1,346th day -- approved the distribution,
which Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC liquidating
trustee Irving Picard proposed July 26, over objections by several
customers.

shareholders of record as of Oct. 15, 2012.

                       About Bon-Ton Stores

The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc., with corporate headquarters in York,
Pennsylvania and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, operates 276 department
stores, which includes 11 furniture galleries, in 23 states in the

Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Elder-Beerman,
Herberger's and Younkers nameplates and, in the Detroit, Michigan
area, under the Parisian nameplate.

The Company incurred a net loss of $40.8 million on $640 million

In the Jan. 12, 2012, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Bon-Ton
Stores Inc. to 'B-' from 'B'.

"The downgrade reflects the continued deterioration of the
company's performance, which has been below our expectations due
to merchandising that has not resonated with its customers," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Kuntz.  He added, "It
incorporates our view that operations will remain weak in the near
term and that credit protection measures will erode further
over the next year."

As reported by the TCR on July 13, 2012, Moody's Investors Service
revised The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating
to Caa1/LD from Caa3.  The Caa1/LD rating reflects the company's
exchange of $330 million of new senior secured notes due 2017 for
$330 million of its unsecured notes due 2014.  The LD designation
indicates that a limited default on the company's 2014 notes has
occurred, as Moody's deem that this transaction is a distressed
exchange.  The LD designation will be removed in approximately 3
business days.

Moody's also affirmed the company's Corporate Family Rating at
Caa1 and affirmed the Caa3 rating assigned to the company's senior
unsecured notes due 2014.

equal installments in accordance with the Company's regular
payroll practices and will be paid at the time and manner as those
payments would have been paid had all severance payments been paid

BROADVIEW NETWORKS: Icahn Opposes Interim Loan, Prepack
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Broadview Networks Holdings Inc. is hoping the
bankruptcy court in New York will approve the pre-arranged
Chapter 11 plan at an Oct. 3 confirmation hearing, although there
may be opposition from Carl Icahn's High River LP.

According to the report, Broadview has filed a prepackaged Chapter
11 plan with sufficient votes already received from the classes of
creditors and equity holders entitled to vote.  High River was
opposing the plan before the Chapter 11 filing and unsuccessfully
opposed interim approval of financing Aug. 23.

The report relates that the bankruptcy judge approved an interim
$16.5 million revolving credit from lenders with CIT
Group/Business Credit Inc. as agent.  Before bankruptcy, there was
$13.9 million owing on the credit, also with CIT as agent.

The report notes that the bankruptcy loan converts the $13.9
million debt into a post-bankruptcy obligation.  At a final
hearing on Sept. 14, the loan is scheduled for increase to $25
million.  Broadview's lawyer told the judge not to expect an
uncontested confirmation hearing in October.

As reported in the Aug. 24, 2012 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, the Prepackaged Plan provides that:

    * Holders of senior secured notes aggregating $317.1 million,
      although impaired, will recover 100% in the form of (i)
      97.5% of the common stock, of reorganized Broadview, subject
      to dilution by shares of new common stock issued pursuant to
      the management equity plan or upon exercise of the new
      warrants, and (ii) $150 million of new 10.5% senior secured
      notes due 2017.

    * Holders of claims of up to $14 million under the five-year
      revolving credit facility (ABL Facility) are unimpaired and
      will be paid in full.  The Debtors intend to pay the claims
      shortly after the commencement of the Reorganization Cases
      pursuant to the DIP Facility.

    * Holders of general unsecured claims estimated at $25 million
      to $27 million are not impaired and will be paid in full in
      cash or will have their claims reinstated as of the
      Effective Date.

    * Holders of existing preferred interests are to recover
      $14.6 million.  In exchange for the cancellation of their
      preferred interests, they will receive (i) 2.5% of the New
      Common Stock, subject to dilution by shares of new common
      stock issued pursuant to the Management Equity Plan or upon
      exercise of the new warrants, and (ii) two series of 8-year
      warrants to purchase up to (A) 11% of the fully diluted New
      Common Stock, subject to dilution by the 4% Warrants and (B)
      4% of the fully diluted New Common Stock.

    * Holders of other equity interests won't receive anything and
      their existing equity interests will be cancelled.

The Bloomberg report disclosed that the secured notes last traded
on Aug. 23 for 66.481 cents on the dollar, according to Trace, the
bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority.

BROADVIEW NETWORKS: Moody's Downgrades PDR to 'D'; Oulook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Broadview Networks Holdings,
Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to D from Ca following
the company's announcement that it had reached an agreement on a
comprehensive restructuring plan with the requisite senior secured
note holders and preferred stock holders and has filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.

Moody's plans to withdraw all ratings for the company over the
near-term consistent with its business practice for companies
operating under the purview of the bankruptcy courts wherein
information flow typically becomes much more limited.

A summary of the rating actions is listed below:

Issuer: Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc.

   Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to D from Ca

   Corporate Family Rating, Unchanged at Caa3

   $300 million 11.375% Sr. Secured Notes due 2012, Unchanged
   at Ca (LGD-3, 40%)

   Outlook, Stable

Ratings Rationale

The principal methodology used in rating Broadview was the Global
Telecommunications Industry Methodology published in December
2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

A competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) headquartered in Rye
Brook, NY, Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc. (Broadview) serves
approximately 34,000 business customers primarily throughout the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States.


BROADVIEW NETWORKS: S&P Cuts Sec. Notes Rating to D on Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ration Services lowered its issue-level rating
on Broadview Network Holdings Inc.'s $300 million of senior
secured notes due 2012 to 'D' from 'C'. "This action reflects
Broadview's filings yesterday of its prepackaged plan of
reorganization and Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions. We lowered our
corporate credit rating on the company to 'D' on July 23, 2012, in
anticipation of the imminent bankruptcy filing. The '5' recovery
rating on the notes, indicating expectations for modest (10%-30%)
recovery in the event of default, remains unchanged," S&P said.

"Under the terms of the prepackaged plan, the 2012 secured notes
will be converted into $150 million of new 10.5% senior secured
notes due 2017 and 97.5% of the common stock of the reorganized
company," S&P said.

"Upon the company's completion of its restructuring, we would
expect to raise the corporate credit rating on Broadview. While we
will evaluate the company's business plan and financial profile as
it emerges, we do not anticipate that the corporate credit rating
would be any higher than 'B', given the significant competitive
challenges facing the company; our expectations for limited near-
term cash-generating ability; and leverage, which we estimate, pro
forma for the proposed debt restructuring, to be about 3x," S&P
said.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL: To Restate 2011 Form 10-K and Q1 Form 10-Q
--------------------------------------------------------------
Management of Broadway Financial Corporation concluded that the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b., for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2011, and the related discussion of results of
operations and financial condition included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011,
should be restated and should no longer be relied on.

The discussion of and management's report on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting included in the Report
will be amended to include a description of material weaknesses in
such controls.  Management also concluded that the Company's
previously issued earnings release summarizing the Company's
financial results for the first quarter of 2012, including the
summary financial statements included therein, should be revised
and should no longer be relied upon.

In discussions that began in early May 2012 with the Company's
auditors, Crowe Horwath LLP, concerning appraisal valuations, the
Company determined that more analysis was required of certain
appraisals that were received by the Company during the first and
second quarters of 2012, and the potential impact of that analysis
on the Dec. 31, 2011, financial statements.  The restatement of
2011 financial statements is being made because the fourth quarter
2011 results reflected therein did not include the impact of
updated valuations of the collateral of certain collateral
dependent impaired loans based on appraisals received after the
end of the year but stating appraised values as of dates prior to
the date (March 30, 2012) the financials statements were issued.
The 2011 financial statements also included errors in the
calculation of the impairment for certain impaired loans
considered to be troubled debt restructurings caused by the use of
the original contract rate in the calculation.

The first quarter 2012 earnings release and financial statements
will be revised to include the effects of a substantial increase
in general valuation allowances required by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency during the most recent OCC supervisory
examination, which ended July 27, 2012.  The OCC commenced its
most recent supervisory examination of the Company and the Bank on
July 9, 2012.  While the Company has not yet received the final
written report of that examination, the OCC has informed the
Company and the Bank that the OCC will require the Bank to
increase the amount of its allowance for loan losses as of
March 31, 2012, by a substantial amount.

The Company is in the process of preparing its restated audited
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, and its
unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31,
2012.  The Company currently expects to file those financial
statements and reports with Securities and Exchange Commission
within the next few weeks.

                     About Broadway Financial

Los Angeles, Calif.-based Broadway Financial Corporation was
incorporated under Delaware law in 1995 for the purpose of
acquiring and holding all of the outstanding capital stock of
Broadway Federal Savings and Loan Association as part of the
Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings
association to a federally chartered stock savings bank.  In
connection with the conversion, the Bank's name was changed to
Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b.  The conversion was completed, and
the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in
January 1996.

The Company is currently regulated by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System ("FRB").  The Bank is currently
regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC")
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

Crowe Horwath LLP, in Costa Mesa, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2011.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has a tax sharing liability to its consolidated subsidiary
that exceeds its available cash.  The liability will be settled
pursuant to the tax sharing agreement on or before April 2, 2012,
at which point the Company will run out of operating cash.  "In
addition, the Company is in default under the terms of a $5
million line of credit with another financial institution lender.
Finally, the Company has sustained recurring operating losses
mainly caused by elevated levels of loan losses, and as discussed
in Note 15, the Company and its Bank subsidiary, Broadway Federal
Bank are both under formal regulatory agreements."

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2012, showed $413.38
million in total assets, $390.59 million in total liabilities and
$22.79 million in total stockholders' equity.


BROWNIE'S MARINE: Sale Proceeds Insufficient to Pay BBT in Full
---------------------------------------------------------------
On Feb. 18, 2011, Brownie's Marine Group, Inc.'s wholly owned
subsidiary, Trebor Industries, Inc., entered into a Forbearance
Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company for the promissory
note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 in favor of BBT and the
promissory note in the principal amount of $199,991.  The Secured
Notes are secured by the Company's Fort Lauderdale facilities and
personally guaranteed by the Company's chief executive officer.

The Company failed to bring the Secured Notes current and in
January 2011 BBT accelerated the full principal and accrued
interest due under the Secured Notes, as well as initiated
collection and legal action.  The Forbearance Agreement
effectively extended the maturity date of the Secured Notes to
May 22, 2012.  The Secured Notes were consolidated under a
Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount
of $1,053,993, effective Nov. 22, 2010.  The maturity date of the
Consolidated Note was May 22, 2012.  The interest rate on the
Consolidated Note was 7.5% per annum.

In April 2012, the Company received a default notice from BBT
under its Forbearance Agreement and the Consolidated Note.  BBT
subsequently received judgment of foreclosure, as the 17th
Judicial Circuit of the Circuit Court of Broward County awarded
BBT a final judgment in the amount of $1,123,269.

On Aug. 16, 2012, the Facilities were sold through a court ordered
auction for approximately $824,000, an amount approximately
$300,000 less than the final judgment amount.  Until the entire
final judgment amount is satisfied, there can be no assurance that
BBT will not take possession of certain of the Company's assets to
satisfy the judgment.  Further, because this may be considered a
default under the terms and conditions of the Company's
convertible debentures, there can be no assurance that other
lenders may not accelerate as due immediately the full outstanding
principal, interest and related default penalties.

wholly owned subsidiaries of Caesars Entertainment Operating
Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment
Corporation, completed the offering of $750,000,000 aggregate

were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to
Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an
effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state
securities laws.

Pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated as of Aug. 22, 2012, among
U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent and securities
intermediary, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, under
the Indenture, and the Escrow Issuers, the Escrow Issuers
deposited the gross proceeds of the offering of the notes,
together with additional amounts necessary to redeem the notes, if
applicable, into a segregated escrow account until the date that
certain escrow conditions are satisfied.  The escrow conditions
include, among other things, the assumption by the Company of all
obligations of the Escrow Issuers under the notes and the receipt
of all required regulatory approvals.

The funds held in the Escrow Account will be released to the
Company upon delivery by the Company to the escrow agent and the
Trustee of an officer's certificate certifying that, prior to or
concurrently with the release of funds from the Escrow Account,
the escrow conditions have been met.

The Escrow Issuers granted the Trustee, for the benefit of the
holders of the notes, a first-priority security interest in the
Escrow Account and all deposits therein to secure the note
obligations pending disbursement.

The notes, which mature on Feb. 15, 2020, were issued pursuant to
an indenture, dated as of Aug. 22, 2012, among the Escrow Issuers,
the Parent Guarantor, as parent guarantor, and U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee.

The Company will pay interest on the notes at 9.00% per annum,
semiannually to holders of record at the close of business on
February 1 or August 1 immediately preceding the interest payment
date on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on
Feb. 15, 2013.

On Aug. 22, 2012, in connection with the issuance of the notes,
the Escrow Issuers and the Parent Guarantor entered into a
registration rights agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
as representative of the initial purchasers, relating to, among
other things, the exchange offer for the notes and the related
parent guarantee.

Upon the consummation of the CEOC Assumption, the Company will
execute a joinder to the Registration Rights Agreement.

On Aug. 22, 2012, the Company reported that lenders under the
senior secured credit agreement of the Borrower have (i) elected
to extend the maturity of approximately $958.0 million aggregate
principal amount of B-1, B-2 and B-3 term loans from Jan. 28,
2015, to Jan. 28, 2018, as Term B-6 Loans, (ii) elected to extend
the maturity of approximately $12.2 million aggregate principal
amount of revolving commitments from Jan. 28, 2014, to Jan. 28,
2017, and (iii) elected to convert approximately $210.3 million
aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments maturing on
Jan. 28, 2014, into Term B-6 Loans maturing on Jan. 28, 2018.  The
Term B-6 Loans will have a springing maturity to April 14, 2017,
if more than $250.0 million of the Borrower's 11.25% Senior
Secured Notes due 2017 remain outstanding on April 14, 2017.  Upon
the effectiveness of the extension transaction, the Borrower will
repay term loans of extending lenders in an amount equal to 50% of
the principal amount of term loans or revolving commitments
elected to be extended or converted as Term B-6 Loans and
terminate revolving commitments of extending lenders in an amount
equal to 50% of the principal amount of revolving commitments
elected to be extended.

net loss of $823.30 million in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed

                           *     *     *

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

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

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 17, 2012, Fitch Ratings affirmed
Caesars Entertainment Corp.'s Long-term Issuer Default Rating at
'CCC'.

CENTRAL FEDERAL: Sells 15 Million Common Shares for $22.5 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Central Federal Corporation successfully sold 15 million shares of
its common stock at $1.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds

standby purchasers.  The standby purchasers were a group of
investors led by Timothy T. O'Dell, Thad R. Perry and Robert E.
Hoeweler.  Going forward, Mr. O'Dell will serve as Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Perry as President and Mr. Hoeweler as Chairman of
the Board of the Company and CFBank.

Eloise L. Mackus, CEO, commented, "What an exciting time this is
in the 120-year history of CFBank.  We appreciate the confidence
of the Bank's employees and customers and the Company's
stockholders.  Our future, which will benefit from the addition of
great banking talent, has never been brighter."

Pursuant to an agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury, the
Company will utilize a portion of the offering proceeds to redeem
the Preferred Stock and warrant and all accrued but unpaid

Fairlawn, Ohio-based Central Federal Corporation (Nasdaq: CFBK) is
the holding company for CFBank, a federally chartered savings
association formed in Ohio in 1892.  CFBank has four full-service
banking offices in Fairlawn, Calcutta, Wellsville and Worthington,
Ohio.

Central Federal reported a net loss of $5.42 million in 2011, a
net loss of $6.87 million in 2010, and a net loss of $9.89 million
in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $225.61
million in total assets, $217.33 million in total liabilities and
$8.28 million in stockholders' equity.

In the auditors' report accompanying the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, Crowe Horwath LLP, in
Cleveland, Ohio, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company's auditors
noted that the Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary
(CFBank) are operating under regulatory orders that require among
other items, higher levels of regulatory capital at CFBank.  The
Company has suffered significant recurring net losses, primarily
from higher provisions for loan losses and expenses associated
with the administration and disposition of nonperforming assets at
CFBank.  These losses have adversely impacted capital at CFBank
and liquidity at the Holding Company.  At Dec. 31, 2011,
regulatory capital at CFBank was below the amount specified in the
regulatory order.  Failure to raise capital to the amount
specified in the regulatory order and otherwise comply with the
regulatory orders may result in additional enforcement actions or
receivership of CFBank.

                        Regulatory Matters

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

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

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

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


CHAMPION INDUSTRIES: In Default Under Fifth Third Credit Pact
-------------------------------------------------------------
Champion Industries, Inc., received from Fifth Third Bank, the
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement dated Sept. 14,
2007, as amended, a Notice of Forbearance Termination, Additional
Defaults and Reservation of Rights dated Aug. 16, 2012, advising
that the Company is in an immediate event of default.  The Notice
of Default also advised that Fifth Third has not waived the Events
of Default and reserves all rights and remedies as a result
thereof.  Those remedies include, under the Credit Agreement, the
right to accelerate and declare due and immediately payable the
principal and accrued interest on all loans outstanding under the
Credit Agreement.

Champion Industries' Forbearance Agreement with Fifth Third
expired on Aug. 15, 2012.

The Notice of Default further stated that any extension of
additional credit under the Credit Agreement would be made by the
lenders in their sole discretion without any intention to waive
any Events of Default.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company and all of
its subsidiaries entered into a security agreement and deeds of
trust and mortgages in favor of the Administrative Agent for the
various lenders from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement,
pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries encumbered
substantially all their assets for the benefit of the secured
parties, as collateral security for the payment and performance of
their obligations under the Credit Agreement.  The encumbered
assets include substantially all tangible and intangible assets of
the Company and its subsidiaries including, without limitation,
substantially all accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real
estate and stock of the subsidiaries.

Regardless of the Company's inability to remain in compliance with
certain financial covenants, the Company has made every scheduled
payment of principal and interest.  The principal payments made by
the Company from the loan inception in September 2007 through
July 31, 2012, aggregated approximately $46.8 million or 54.8% of
the initial balance outstanding at September 2007 of approximately
$85.5 million, during a significant economic and secular downturn
within the economy.

The Forbearance Agreement provided that if the Company, the
Administrative Agent and applicable Lenders do not enter into a
new agreement or an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement by
Aug. 15, 2012, the defaults will be deemed existing and unsecured
and any remaining funds in the cash collateral account, currently
$500,000, will be immediately available to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and Cash Collateral
Security Agreement dated March 31, 2010, among the Company, the
Administrative Agent and Marshall Reynolds.  The Company has
received no notification from the Administrative Agent regarding
the use of cash collateral as a result of the Company's inability
to remain in compliance with certain financial covenants.

The Company has continued to work with the investment banking
group of Raymond James & Associates, Inc., to assist it with a
restructuring or refinancing of the existing debt and other
potential transaction alternatives.  The Company continues to have
ongoing dialogue with the Administrative Agent and the syndicate
of banks with respect to a forbearance agreement regarding the
Events of Default or an amendment/restructuring of the existing
debt.  A total of $39,754,720 of current and long-term debt and
outstanding revolving line of credit borrowings are subject to
accelerated maturity and, as such, the Lenders may, at their
option, give notice to the Company that amounts owed are
immediately due and payable.

CHARLES SCHWAB: Fitch Puts 'BB+' Rating on Preferred Stock
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of 'A' to Charles Schwab
Corporation's (Schwab) $256 million of unsecured notes due
September 2022 with a coupon of 3.225%.  These new notes are being
exchanged with an equal amount of existing 4.95% unsecured notes
maturing June 2014.

Fitch believes the exchange has been conducted in an effort to
reduce Schwab's cost of funding, given the attractive interest
rate environment, and extend the maturity of the existing notes.
The issuance is not expected to impact Schwab's capitalization or
funding profile.

Fitch currently rates Schwab as follows:

The Charles Schwab Corporation

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'A';
  -- Short-term IDR 'F1';
  -- Senior unsecured notes 'A';
  -- Short-term debt at 'F1';
  -- Preferred stock at 'BB+'
  -- Support '5'; and
  -- Support Floor 'NF'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

CONEX INT'L: Wells, Prudential Caused Bankruptcy Over $150M Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Randles at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Wells Fargo
Bank NA and Prudential Insurance Co. of America are accused of
orchestrating an elaborate plot to get repayment on a $150 million
loan by pushing Conex International LLC into involuntary
bankruptcy, according to a case removed to federal court Friday.

Bankruptcy Law360 relates that the lawsuit stems from the February
2011 closure of Conex International's Beaumont, Texas, facility,
resulting in dozens of layoffs and tens of millions of dollars in
damages.

On Feb. 20, 2011, Wells Fargo, Bank of Montreal, and The
Prudential Insurance Company of America, commenced an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy case against Conex Holdings, LLC, and an
involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases against Conex
International, LLC (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 11-10503) and
Advantage Blasting & Coating, LLC (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 11-
10502).


CONFECTIONERS FINANCE: Petitioner Objects to Case Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------------------
Shawn Riley filed papers late last month objecting to a court
order dismissing the involuntary chapter 11 petition filed against
Confectioners Finance LLC.  Mr. Riley said Confectioners has
agreed to submit to the bankruptcy.

"I apologize to the court for any failings to file paperwork.
Myself and other creditors have been working diligently to work
out agreements without the bankruptcy, but that has not happened,"
Mr. Riley said in a document filed July 23.

On July 5, Bankruptcy Judge Charles G. Case II entered an order
saying "creditors have 21 days from entry of this order to object
to the dismissal of this case and request a hearing on the matter.
If no creditor objects within 21 days, the case shall be dismissed
for want of prosecution."

The order noted that an involuntary debtor summons was sent to the
Debtor on same date requiring the Debtor to appear within 21 days;
the Debtor failed to appear.

The judge also said that apart from a motion for relief from stay,
the docket has been devoid of any activity, with no prosecution
from either side, and the petitioning creditors have not requested
an order for relief.

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

CONTEC HOLDINGS: Bain Unit Said to File for Bankruptcy This Week
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector reports that people
familiar with the matter said Contec Holdings Ltd., a cable-box
repair company owned by Bain Capital, is preparing to file a
so-called prepackaged bankruptcy as soon as this week.

Under the prepackaged bankruptcy deal, Contec lenders, including
Barclays PLC, will forgive $180 million of debt for an 80%
ownership stake in a reorganized company, people familiar with the
plan told WSJ.  They are also expected to receive $27.5 million in
new debt, the people said.

Contec will eliminate more than $300 million of debt under the
bankruptcy plan, WSJ reports.

According to WSJ, the people said Barclays is expected to lend
Contec an additional $35 million to help keep the company
operating during bankruptcy proceedings.  That debt could later
convert to the remaining ownership stakes in Contec, they said.

According to the report, the people familiar with the plan also
said lower-ranking creditors owed $160 million are expected to
forgive their debt for warrants that could give them ownership
stakes.

Sources told WSJ Bain has already written down its interest in
Contec to zero.

The report recounts Bain, a Boston-based investment firm, acquired
Contec from another buyout shop in a $525 million deal in 2008.
Bain invested $215 million in equity in the deal and put $180
million of debt on the company to back the purchase, said a person
familiar with the transaction.  Contec's previous owner invested
another $120 million in debt as part of the deal, this person
said.

WSJ says Bain didn't load Contec with outsized debt compared with
some other leveraged buyouts during boom times for such deals. The
debt component of the deal was around 60%. Some other private-
equity buyouts have featured 90% debt.  Still, Contec's debt
proved too much amid the financial crisis, as cable subscriptions
dropped and cash-strapped consumers put off fixing broken set-top
boxes, people familiar with the matter told WSJ.

According to WSJ, Bain in a statement said: "While the market
leader in its industry, Contec's financial performance was
impacted significantly by a dramatic slowdown in cable subscribers
due to the recession, technology shifts, and increased
competition. We have supported the company through the
restructuring process, which we believe will help Contec emerge in
an even stronger position to grow its business."

WSJ says a Contec spokeswoman declined to comment.  A Barclays
spokesman also declined to comment.

Contec, founded in 1978 and based in Schenectady, New York,
repairs millions of digital-cable set-top boxes, various modems
and satellite receivers each year for manufacturers.

As of July 28, Contec employed 177 people in the U.S. and 2,134
people in Mexico, sources told WSJ.

Packaging Canada L.P.

Ratings Rationale

The upgrade of Crown's corporate family rating to Ba1 from Ba2
reflects an expectation of further improvement in credit metrics
due to Crown's recent and pending expansion into developing
markets. Credit metrics are also expected to be bolstered by
reductions in pension contributions and minority dividends
(following the buyout of most interests in 2012) and an eventual
reduction in capital spending as the company's expansion
initiative is completed. Moody's expects Crown to maintain a
balanced financial profile going forward and maintain credit
metrics within the Ba1 rating category.

Crown's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
position in an oligopolistic industry, relatively stable end
markets and improved profitability. The rating is also supported
by the high percentage of business under contract with strong raw
material cost pass-through provisions, higher margin growth
projects in emerging markets and good liquidity. Crown's broad
geographic exposure, including a high percentage of sales from
faster growing emerging markets, is both a benefit and a source of
some potential volatility.

The rating is constrained by the company's concentration of sales,
exposure to international markets and risks inherent in its
strategy to grow in emerging markets. The rating is also
constrained by the ongoing asbestos liability. The company has
exposure to segments which can be affected by weather and crop
harvests and to mature industry sectors like carbonated soft
drinks. Approximately 50% of sales stem from the sale of beverage
cans. Crown is also completely concentrated in metal packaging,
which may be subject to substitution with other substrates in
certain markets depending on relative pricing and new
technologies.

The ratings outlook is stable. The stable outlook reflects an
expectation that Crown will continue to benefit from expansion
into emerging markets and maintain a balanced financial profile.

The ratings could be downgraded if there was deterioration in the
credit metrics, more aggressive financial policies, deterioration
in the cushion under existing financial covenants, and/or
deterioration in the competitive or operating environment.
Additionally, a significant acquisition or change in the asbestos
liability could also trigger a downgrade. Specifically, the rating
could be downgraded if the EBIT interest coverage declines to
below 3.7 times, leverage remianed above 3.8 times and free cash
flow to debt remained below 8.5%.

The ratings could be upgraded if Crown commits to maintaining
financial policies and a capital structure that are consistent
with an investment grade rating and achieves a sustainable
improvement in credit metrics within the context of a stable
operating and competitive environment. Specifically, the ratings
could be upgraded if leverage declined to below 3.0 times, EBIT
interest coverage improves to over 4.0 times, the EBIT margin
remains in the double digits, and free cash flow to total debt
improves to over 10%.

The principal methodology used in rating Crown Holdings was the
Global Packaging Manufacturers: Metal, Glass, and Plastic
Containers Industry Methodology published in June 2009. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

DCB FINANCIAL: Amends 1.3 Million Common Shares Offering
--------------------------------------------------------
DCB Financial Corp. filed a pre-effective amendment no. 1 to the
Form S-1 relating to the Company's distribution of non-
transferable rights to subscribe for and purchase up to 1,307,799
common shares to persons who owned the Company's common shares as
of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the record date,[     ], 2012.

The Company has entered into agreements with certain standby
investors, pursuant to which those standby investors have agreed
to purchase, in a private offering to be closed after the
conclusion of the rights offering, either a minimum number of
common shares, or a certain number of the remaining common shares
that are not purchased through the exercise of rights, or both.
No standby investor will own 10% or more of the common shares
after completion of the rights offering and private offering.  The
maximum number of common shares to be issued by the Company in the
rights offering and the subsequent private offering will not
exceed 3,475,000 common shares.

There is no minimum amount required for the Company to complete
the rights offering.  Even if the rights offering is not
completed, at least 1,035,621 shares, or approximately $3.9
million, will be raised through the private offering.  This amount
does not include the investment of certain of the standby
investors who have made their commitment to purchase shares
subject to the Company raising at least $13.0 million.

All common shares sold in the rights offering or pursuant to
agreements with standby investors will be at the $3.80
subscription price.

The Company's common shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board, which we refer to as the OTCBB, under the trading
symbol "DCBF.OB."

                        About DCB Financial

DCB Financial Corp. is a financial holding company headquartered
in Lewis Center, Ohio.  The Corporation has one wholly-owned
subsidiary bank, The Delaware County Bank and Trust Company (the
"Bank").  The Corporation also has two additional wholly owned
subsidiaries, DCB Title and DCB Insurance Services LLC.  DCB Title
provides standard real estate title services, while DCB Insurance
Services LLC provides a variety of insurance products.  However,
neither nonbank subsidiary is material to the financial results of
the Corporation.  The Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, ORECO,
which is used to process other real estate owned.

The Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Ohio in 1997, as a financial holding company under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, by acquiring all
outstanding shares of the Bank.  The Corporation acquired all such
shares of the Bank after an interim bank merger, consummated on
March 14, 1997.  The Bank is a commercial bank, chartered under
the laws of the State of Ohio, and was organized in 1950.

The Bank provides customary retail and commercial banking services
to its customers, including checking and savings accounts, time
deposits, IRAs, safe deposit facilities, personal loans,
commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans, installment loans,
trust and other wealth management services.  The Bank also
provides cash management, bond registrar and paying agent services
for commercial and public unit entities.  Through its subsidiary
Datatasx, the Bank provided data processing and other bank
operational services to other financial institutions.  Those
services were discontinued in September 2011, and were not a
significant part of operations or revenue.

In October 2010, the Corporation's wholly-owned bank subsidiary
entered into a Consent Agreement with the FDIC which requires that
Tier-1 and Total Risk Based Capital percentages reach 9.0% and
13.0% respectively.  As of March 31, 2012, the Bank's capital
ratios, as previously noted, were not at these levels.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries meet all published regulatory
capital requirements.  The ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets was 10.3% at March 31, 2012, while the Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio was 6.7%.

As reported in the TCR on April 5, 2012, Plante & Moran PLLC, in
Columbus, Ohio, said DCB's bank subsidiary is not in compliance
with revised minimum regulatory capital requirements under a
formal regulatory agreement with the banking regulators.  "Failure
to comply with the regulatory agreement may result in additional
regulatory enforcement actions."

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $510.70
million in total assets, $475.51 million in total liabilities and
$35.19 million in total stockholders' equity.

                       About Dewey & LeBoeuf

New York-based law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP sought Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-12321) to complete the
wind-down of its operations.  The firm had struggled with high
debt and partner defections.  Dewey disclosed debt of US$245
million and assets of US$193 million in its chapter 11 filing late
evening on May 29, 2012.

Dewey & LeBoeuf was formed by the 2007 merger of Dewey Ballantine
LLP and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae LLP.  At its peak, Dewey
employed about 2,000 people with 1,300 lawyers in 25 offices
across the globe.  When it filed for bankruptcy, only 150
employees were left to complete the wind-down of the business.

Dewey's offices in Hong Kong and Beijing are being wound down.
The partners of the separate partnership in England are in process
of winding down the business in London and Paris, and
administration proceedings in England were commenced May 28.  All
lawyers in the Madrid and Brussels offices have departed. Nearly
all of the lawyers and staff of the Frankfurt office have
departed, and the remaining personnel are preparing for the
closure.  The firm's office in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is being
prepared for closure and the liquidation of the firm's local
affiliate.  The partners of the firm in the Johannesburg office,
South Africa, are planning to wind down the practice.

The firm's ownership interest in its practice in Warsaw, Poland,
was sold to the firm of Greenberg Traurig PA on May 11 for
US$6 million.  The Pension benefit Guaranty Corp. took
US$2 million of the proceeds as part of a settlement.  The Debtor
disclosed $368,117,240 in assets and $348,817,408 in liabilities
as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Judge Martin Glenn oversees the case.  Albert Togut, Esq., at
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, represents the Debtor.  Epiq Bankruptcy

DEX ONE: To Merge with SuperMedia in Stock-for-Stock Transaction
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dex One Corporation and SuperMedia Inc. announced that their
Boards of Directors have approved a definitive agreement under
which Dex One and SuperMedia will combine in a stock-for-stock
merger of equals, creating a national provider of social, local
and mobile marketing solutions through direct relationships with
local businesses.

Upon closing of the transaction, Dex One shareholders are expected
to own approximately 60 percent and SuperMedia shareholders are
expected to own approximately 40 percent of the combined company.

The combined company will have over 5,800 employees, including
more than 3,100 consultants who establish direct relationships
with local business owners and offer a full suite of marketing
solutions to help them retain and add customers.  Initially, the
combined company will have relationships with more than 700,000
businesses.

The business will benefit from improved operating scale,
significant synergies and enhanced cash flow.  On a pro-forma
basis, for the full year 2011, the combined company would have
reported $3.1 billion in revenue, $778 million in non-GAAP
operating income (adjusted to exclude impairment charges of $1.8
billion) and $1.2 billion in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.  Pro-forma
cash from operations for the full year 2011 would have been $657
million, and non-GAAP free cash flow would have been $610 million.
For the first half of 2012, the combined company would have
reported pro-forma revenue of approximately $1.4 billion, $290
million in operating income and $586 million in non-GAAP adjusted
EBITDA.  First half 2012 pro-forma cash flow from operations for
the combined company would have been $340 million and non-GAAP
free cash flow for the period would have been $322 million.

"We believe this merger is in the best interests of shareholders,
lenders, customers, employees and consumers," said Alan Schultz,
chairman of the board of directors of Dex One.  "Dex One and
SuperMedia are closely aligned with a solid value proposition for
local businesses, and we expect the transaction to generate
significant operational and financial synergies, which will create
additional investor value."

"Over the time we have spent together understanding each other's
company and exploring the market opportunities, we have become
more and more enthusiastic about the potential of Dex One and
SuperMedia combined to more effectively help businesses grow using
the full range of local media," added Douglas Wheat, chairman of
the board of directors of SuperMedia.  "We look forward to working
together to help the new company realize that potential."

"For the past two years, Dex One and SuperMedia have been on the
same path of transformation, fully embracing digital media to help
businesses grow through a complete suite of marketing solutions
provided by our local consultants," said Peter McDonald, president
and CEO of SuperMedia.  "Our common goal over many decades has
been to drive results for local advertisers.  By joining together,
we will have nationwide presence to increase market share and
achieve operating and service efficiencies.  Having spent time in
my career at Dex One and SuperMedia, I know that the great
attitudes, best thinking and best practices of the talented
individuals at both companies will combine to enhance the value we
deliver to our clients and investors."

"The two companies fit well together.  The combined scale and
scope of the new company creates a powerful platform to penetrate
more of the market and further improve our competitive position,"
said Alfred Mockett, CEO of Dex One.  "This combination will
accelerate the pace of the transformation each of us was pursuing
independently, improve our financial condition and generate
benefits for all constituencies."

Financial Benefits for Shareholders and Lenders

The combined company estimates it will realize $150-$175 million
of annual run rate cost synergies by 2015 due to scale
efficiencies; rationalization of duplicative solutions, products
and vendor relationships; headcount reductions; and adoption of
the most cost effective management and operating practices and
technology platforms and systems from Dex One and SuperMedia.  The
combined company expects to incur $100-$120 million of one-time
transition expenses to achieve these synergies.

The combined company also will benefit from the application across
a larger territory of the best of each company's social, local and
mobile marketing solutions, combined with the advice of its
marketing consultants, to create and maintain local business
relationships.

The combined company expects to preserve access to Dex One's
remaining tax attributes and generate future attributes, in
aggregate totaling as much as $1.8 billion, to offset income
attributable to the combined company following the completion of
the transaction.

Organization and Leadership

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Alan Schultz,
chairman of the board of directors of Dex One, will be chairman of
the board of directors of the combined company.  The president and
CEO of SuperMedia, Peter McDonald, will become CEO.  Alfred
Mockett, Dex One's CEO, will continue to lead Dex One through the
close of the transaction, at which point he will step down.

Following the close of the transaction, the combined company's
board of directors will include Schultz, McDonald, four additional
members from the Dex One board, four additional members from the
SuperMedia board and one independent director to be selected by
the new board.  The CFO of SuperMedia, Samuel (Dee) Jones, will
become the CFO of the combined company.

The combined company will be called Dex Media.  This is not
intended to be a new brand in the marketplace.  The Dex One and
SuperMedia names and the brand names for their solutions and
services have significant value with businesses and consumers.
Decisions regarding if and when to implement brand and name
changes in local markets will be made after further evaluation and
planning.  A decision regarding the location of the new company's
headquarters and other principal locations also will be made
during the course of merger integration planning.

Transaction Structure

Under the terms of the agreement, Dex One and SuperMedia
shareholders will exchange their shares for shares in Dex Media.
Dex One shareholders will receive 0.20 shares for each Dex One
share they own, and Super Media shareholders will receive 0.4386
shares for each SuperMedia share they own.

Approvals

The transaction must be approved by the stockholders for the two
companies and is subject to negotiation of acceptable credit
agreement amendments with both companies' lenders.  SuperMedia and
Dex One intend to file a joint proxy statement/prospectus with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the merger to their
stockholders for approval.  The transaction is expected to close
in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Dex One, headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, is a local
business marketing services company that includes print

2010.

R.H. Donnelley Corp. and 19 of its affiliates, including Dex
Media East LLC, Dex Media West LLC and Dex Media Inc., filed for
Chapter 11 protection on May 28, 2009 (Bank. D. Del. Case No. 09-
11833 through 09-11852).  They emerged from bankruptcy on Jan. 29,
2010.  On the Effective Date and in connection with its emergence
from Chapter 11, RHD was renamed Dex One Corporation.

Dex One reported a net loss of $518.96 million in 2011 compared
with a net loss of $923.59 million for the eleven months ended
Dec. 31, 2010.

                            *     *     *

As reported in the April 2, 2012 edition of the TCR, Moody's
Investors Service has downgraded the corporate family rating (CFR)
for Dex One Corporation's to Caa3 from B3 based on Moody's view
that a debt restructuring is inevitable.  Moody's has also changed
Dex's Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to Ca/LD from B3
following the company's purchase of about $142 million of par
value bank debt for about $70 million in cash.  The Caa3 rating
also reflects Moody's view that additional exchanges at a discount
are likely in the future since the company amended its bank
covenants to make it possible to repurchase additional bank debt
on the open market through the end of 2013.

As reported by the TCR on April 4, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Cary, N.C.-based
Dex One Corp. and related entities to 'CCC' from 'SD' (selective
default).  "The upgrade reflects our assessment of the company's
credit profile after the completion of the subpar repurchase
transaction in light of upcoming maturities, future subpar
repurchases, and our expectation of a continued week operating
outlook," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Chris
Valentine.

--------------------------------------------------
The Depository Trust Company restored full electronic clearance
and settlement services for Dolphin Digital Media, Inc.'s "DPDM"
security.  The Company's common shares were previously not
electronically tradable due to a Global Lock, also known as a
"Chill," imposed by the DTC in December 2011.

shareholders and investors can now buy and sell shares freely in
the open market with increased efficiency and lower costs through
DTC Participants which include U.S. and non-U.S. securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations
and certain other organizations.

"In my Letter to Shareholders in March of this year, we informed
our shareholders of the "Chill" placed on our stock due to the
alleged misconduct in 2010 of three individual shareholders of the
Company, and although we had no participation in, or any knowledge
of, the alleged misconduct, we pledged our full support and
cooperation as the DTC conducted its internal review," states
Chief Executive Officer William O'Dowd.  "I am extremely pleased
to make today's announcement, as it is the culmination of many
months of hard work by the Company and its advisors.  I
particularly want to commend the diligence and tireless efforts
made on our behalf by our attorneys, Joel Mayersohn and Clint Gage
of the Fort Lauderdale law firm of Roetzel & Andress, LPA.  Joel
and Clint are top-notch professionals, and guided the Company
throughout this process.  I would like to also acknowledge the
assistance of Mary Ramsey of our transfer agent, Nevada Agency and
Transfer Company, who went well "above and beyond the call of
duty" to assist us in timely providing the DTC with the
information requested."

"This is a very happy day for all shareholders of Dolphin Digital
Media, and I am very grateful for the support shown to the Company
throughout this process."

EASTMAN KODAK: Starts Sale Processes for Imaging Businesses
-----------------------------------------------------------
Eastman Kodak Company outlined its next steps toward a successful
emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization as a company primarily
focused on commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions
and enterprise services.  Accordingly, the company has initiated
sale processes for its market-leading Personalized Imaging and
Document Imaging businesses.

Kodak believes that the sale of these assets, as well as continued
cost-reduction initiatives, curtailment of its legacy liabilities,
and the monetization of the company's digital imaging patent
portfolio, will be significant milestones toward completing the
company's reorganization and emergence from Chapter 11 during
2013.

"The initiation of a process to sell the Personalized Imaging and
Document Imaging businesses is an important step in our company's
reorganization to focus our business on the commercial markets and
enable Kodak to accelerate its momentum toward emergence," said
Antonio M. Perez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "In
addition, we continue our initiatives to reduce our cost structure
and streamline our operating models in an effort to return the
company to profitability."

"We are reshaping Kodak. We continue to rebalance our company
toward commercial, packaging and functional printing - in which we
have the broadest portfolio solutions - and enterprise services.

These businesses have substantial long-term growth prospects
worldwide and are core to the future of Kodak.  We are confident
that our competitive advantages in materials science and
deposition technologies, as well as our know-how in digital
imaging, will enable us to capitalize on those opportunities and
extend our leadership in key growth markets."

Kodak noted that in addition to the commercial, packaging and
functional printing and enterprise services businesses, it also
continues to own and operate the Consumer Inkjet, Entertainment
Imaging, Commercial Film and Specialty Chemicals businesses, given
the company's expertise, capabilities and strong customer
relationships in these markets, as well as their combined cash-
generating capability.

The Personalized Imaging business consists of Retail Systems
Solutions (RSS), Paper & Output Systems (P&OS) and Event Imaging
Solutions (EIS).  RSS is the worldwide leader in retail print
solutions with a global footprint of 105,000 KODAK Picture Kiosks;
P&OS includes the broadest portfolio of traditional photographic
paper and still camera film products; and EIS provides souvenir
photo products at theme parks and other venues.  The Document
Imaging business provides a leading and comprehensive portfolio of
scanners, capture software and services to enterprise customers.

"Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging are valuable businesses
that enjoy leading market positions as a result of superior
products and service offerings.  We remain steadfast in our
commitment to our customers, and we will work to ensure that they
continue to receive the exceptional levels of quality and service
they have come to expect from Kodak.  Customers remain the top
priority of all our businesses - those we intend to sell and those
that will remain part of Kodak," Perez said.

Kodak said it would move forward as quickly as possible and has
targeted completing these transactions in the first half of 2013.
Lazard is adviser to Kodak in the sale process.

In accordance with its prior announcement, the company is
continuing discussions with parties with respect to the potential
sale of its digital imaging patent portfolio.  The company
reiterates that it has made no decision to sell the portfolio and
Kodak may, in consultation with creditors, retain the portfolio as
an alternative source of recovery for creditors.

"As we move forward with the Chapter 11 process, we are focused on
delivering the highest value to our creditors so that we can
emerge as a sustainable, profitable company that continues to meet
the needs of our customers," Perez concluded.

                        About Eastman Kodak

Rochester, New York-based Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S.
subsidiaries on Jan. 19, 2012, filed voluntarily Chapter 11
petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-10202) in Manhattan.
Subsidiaries outside of the U.S. were not included in the filing
and are expected to continue to operate as usual.

Kodak, founded in 1880 by George Eastman, was once the world's
leading producer of film and cameras.  Kodak sought bankruptcy
protection amid near-term liquidity issues brought about by
steeper-than-expected declines in Kodak's historically profitable
traditional businesses, and cash flow from the licensing and sale
of intellectual property being delayed due to litigation tactics
employed by a small number of infringing technology companies with
strong balance sheets and an awareness of Kodak's liquidity
challenges.

In recent years, Kodak has been working to transform itself from a
business primarily based on film and consumer photography to a
smaller business with a digital growth strategy focused on the
commercialization of proprietary digital imaging and printing
technologies.  Kodak has 8,900 patent and trademark registrations
and applications in the United States, as well as 13,100 foreign
patents and trademark registrations or pending registration in
roughly 160 countries.

Kodak disclosed $5.10 billion in assets and $6.75 billion in
liabilities as of Sept. 30, 2011.  The net book value of all
assets located outside the United States as of Dec. 31, 2011 is
$13.5 million.

Attorneys at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP, serve as counsel to the Debtors.  FTI Consulting,
Inc., is the restructuring advisor.   Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, is
the investment banker.   Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC is the
claims agent.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has tapped

EASTMAN KODAK: Apple Files Appeal Bankr. Judge Didn't Authorize
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that, although Apple Inc. was told by the bankruptcy judge
that it couldn't, it went ahead on Aug. 23 and filed an appeal to
the U.S. District Court from an Aug. 1 ruling by the bankruptcy
court upholding ownership by Eastman Kodak Co. of two disputed
patents.  Apple said it filed the appeal "to protect its rights."

According to the report, in the Aug. 8 ruling, U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Allan L. Gropper summarily denied Apple's claim to ownership
of two patents.  In the same ruling, Judge Gropper concluded there
were disputed facts barring a ruling as yet on ownership of eight
other patents.  In his formal ruling on Aug. 8, Judge Gropper
denied Apple's request for an immediate appeal from the order
upholding the two Kodak patents.  He said an immediate appeal was
counter to the "strong federal policy against piecemeal appeals."

The report notes that in lawsuits in federal court, there is no
right to appeal a so-called interlocutory order that decides only
part of a lawsuit.  Either the bankruptcy court or the district
court has the right to bend the rule and allow an immediate appeal
from a partial decision in proper situations.  Given that he
denied Apple's request for an immediate appeal, Judge Gropper told
Apple that it could seek permission from a district judge to mount
an appeal now on the two patents.  Rather than file papers asking
for permission to appeal, Apple instead filed an ordinary appeal.

The report notes that Apple wrote to the bankruptcy judge, saying
that the district court might take the appeal as a request for
permission to appeal.  Apple also said the district court might
deny permission to appeal.  Kodak started the lawsuit in
bankruptcy court on June 18, seeking a declaration that Apple has
no interest in the 10 patents.  Apple has lodged a second request
to remove the suit to district court from bankruptcy court.  A
district judge denied the first requests for so-called withdrawal
of the reference.  Kodak was scheduled to complete auctions this
month for patents and intellectual property, including the patents
under dispute with Apple.  The deadline for completing the auction
was pushed back twice in consultation with the creditors'
committee.

The report relays that the market interpreted the delay as meaning
that prices offered so far are disappointing.  As a result,
Kodak's $400 million in 7% convertible notes due in 2017, which
sold for 21.055 cents on the dollar on Aug. 9, went for as little
as 10 cents on Aug. 14, a decline of 53%, according to Trace, the
bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority.  Before the drop, the bonds had risen more than 25% in
price since July.  The bonds traded on Aug. 22 for 15.25 cents,
Trace reported.

The lawsuit in bankruptcy court with Apple is Eastman Kodak Co. v.
Apple Inc., 12-01720, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of
New York (Manhattan). Apple's motion to remove the suit from
bankruptcy court is Eastman Kodak Co. v. Apple Inc., 12-04881,
U.S. District Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).

EDG HOLDCO: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Baton Rouge, La.-based EDG Holdco LLC, a
subsidiary of Edgen Group Inc. "We also raised our issue-level
rating on Edgen Murray Corp.'s $465 million senior secured notes
to 'B+', the same as the corporate credit rating, from 'B'. The
recovery rating on these notes remains '4', indicating our
expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of
payment default," S&P said.

"At the same time, we raised our corporate credit rating on Edgen
Murray II L.P., the former parent of Edgen Murray Corp., to 'B+'
from 'B', and subsequently withdrew the rating," S&P said.

"We also removed all ratings from CreditWatch, where we placed
them with positive implications on April 19, 2012," S&P said.

"The corporate credit rating on specialty metals distributor EDG
Holdco LLC reflects Standard & Poor's view of the company's 'weak'
business risk and 'aggressive' financial risk profiles," said
credit analyst Megan Johnston. "These assessments are based on the
company's relatively modest size, its exposure to volatile metals
prices, and a dependence on the cyclical energy markets for a
large portion of its earnings. Still, we believe the company has
long-standing supplier and customer relationships, faces minimal
capital expenditure requirements, and possesses the ability to
generate cash from working capital during periods of soft end
markets."

"The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation that EDG
Holdco's near-term operating performance will benefit from slowly
improving economic conditions and relatively strong performance in
its key end markets," S&P said.


ENERGY EDGE: Had $6,290 Net Loss in Second Quarter
--------------------------------------------------
Energy Edge Technologies Corporation filed its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss of $6,290 on $209,975 of contract
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a
net loss of $32,280 on $285,922 of contract revenues for the same
period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss
of $19,951 on $354,046 of contract revenues, compared with a net
loss of $185,267 on $495,568 of contract revenues for the same
period of 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $1.0 million
in total assets, $1.2 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $200,862.

The Company has limited working capital, and has suffered a
significant loss from operations.  "These factors create
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern."

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

Bridgewater, New Jersey-based Energy Edge Technologies Corporation
provides energy engineering and services specializing in the
development and implementation of advanced, turnkey projects to
reduce energy losses and increase the efficiency of new and
existing buildings.

Revenues come primarily from engineering survey work and turnkey
energy projects where the Company takes responsibility for
equipment procurement, installation labor, utility rebates, tax
incentives, pre and post survey work, waste removal,
certifications, and ongoing measurement and verification of
results.


ESSENTIAL POWER: S&P Rates $665MM Sr. Secured Debt Facilities 'BB'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' rating and
'2' recovery rating to Essential Power LLC's $565 million senior
secured term loan and $100 million senior secured first-lien
revolving credit and letter of credit facility. "At the same time,
we raised our rating on the $66.3 million second-lien stub to 'BB'
from 'B+'. We also revised the recovery rating to '6' from '3'.
The '2' recovery rating indicates substantial recovery (70% to
90%) of principal in a default scenario. The '6' recovery rating
reflects expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery if a
payment default occurs. The outlook is stable," S&P said.

"Essential Power (and Holdco Essential Power Holdings LLC) is a
ring-fenced, special-purpose entity that owns 1,721 megawatts (MW)
of nominal generation capacity spread among gas-fired, fossil-
fuel, and hydro assets in the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland (PJM)
Interconnection and the Independent System Operator-New England
(ISO-NE) regions. The company is 100% owned by Australian pension
fund manager Industry Funds Management (IFM). Essential Power
proposed to refinance debt raised initially in 2008 and 2009 when
the company was known as North American Energy Alliance LLC
(NAEA), consisting of a $310 million first-lien facility, $40
million revolving credit facility, $80 million letter of credit
facility, and $205 million in second-lien securities. About $138.7
million of the second-lien notes have been tendered and redeemed.
The project will also have a $100 million senior secured revolving
credit facility. The term loan matures in 2019 and the revolving
credit facility matures in 2017. Essential Power will repay the
term loan through a 100% cash flow sweep," S&P said.

"The stable rating outlook reflects our expectations that the
project's relatively stable revenue streams (the PPA, hedges, and
capacity payments) will allow for deleveraging over the loan's
tenor, to about $230 per kW by the time hedges expire in 2016. A
ratings upgrade is unlikely given the limited asset diversity, the
age of the assets, and the project's exposure to merchant power
revenue. If the assets underperform operationally, causing energy
gross margins and capacity payment revenue to fall below
expectations, we could lower the ratings. Specifically, we would
consider a downgrade if refinancing risk increases to more than
$200 per kW," S&P said.


FIBERTOWER CORPORATION: Court OKs Andrews Kurt, BMC, FTI Hiring
---------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved
FiberTower's motions to retain Andrews, Kurth as attorney, BMC
Group as claims, noticing & solicitation agent, and FTI Consulting
as financial adviser.

                      About FiberTower Corp.

FiberTower Corporation, FiberTower Network Services Corp.,
FiberTower Licensing Corp., and FiberTower Spectrum Holdings
LLC filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case Nos.
12-44027 to 12-44031) on July 17, 2012, together with a plan
support agreement struck with prepetition secured noteholders.

FiberTower is an alternative provider of facilities-based backhaul
services, principally to wireless carriers, and a national
provider of millimeter-band spectrum services.  Backhaul is the
transport of voice, video and data traffic from a wireless
carrier's mobile base station, or cell site, to its mobile
switching center or other exchange point.  FiberTower provides
spectrum leasing services directly to other carriers and
enterprise clients, and also offer their spectrum services through
spectrum brokerage arrangements and through fixed wireless
equipment partners.

FiberTower's significant asset is the ownership of a national
spectrum portfolio of 24 GHz and 39 GHz wide-area spectrum
licenses, including over 740 MHz in the top 20 U.S. metropolitan
areas and, in the aggregate, roughly 1.72 billion channel pops
(calculated as the number of channels in a given area multiplied
by the population, as measured in the 2010 census, covered by
these channels).  FiberTower believes the Spectrum Portfolio
represents one of the largest and most comprehensive collections
of millimeter wave spectrum in the U.S., covering areas with a
total population of over 300 million.

As of the Petition Date, FiberTower provides service to roughly
5,390 customer locations at 3,188 deployed sites in 13 markets
throughout the U.S.  The fixed wireless portion of these hybrid
services is predominantly through common carrier spectrum in the
11, 18 and 23 GHz bands.  FiberTower's biggest service markets are
Dallas/Fort Worth and Washington, D.C./Baltimore, with additional
markets in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit,
Houston, New York/New Jersey, Pittsburgh, San Antonio/Austin/Waco
and Tampa.

As of June 30, 2012, FiberTower's books and records reflected
total combined assets, at book value, of roughly $188 million and
total combined liabilities of roughly $211 million.  As of the
Petition Date, FiberTower had unrestricted cash of roughly $23
million.  For the six months ending June 30, 2012, FiberTower had
total revenue of roughly $33 million.  With the help of FTI
Consulting Inc., FiberTower's preliminary valuation work shows
that the Company's enterprise value is materially less than $132
million -- i.e., the approximate principal amount of the 9.00%
Senior Secured Notes due 2016 outstanding as of the Petition Date.
The preliminary valuation work is based upon the assumption that
FiberTower's spectrum licenses will not be terminated.

Judge D. Michael Lynn oversees the Chapter 11 case.  Lawyers at
Andrews Kurth LLP serve as the Debtors' lead counsel.  Lawyers at
Hogan Lovells and Willkie Farr and Gallagher LLP serve as special
FCC counsel.  FTI Consulting serve as financial advisor.  BMC
Group Inc. serve as claims and noticing agent.  The petitions were
signed by Kurt J. Van Wagenen, president.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association -- as indenture trustee and
collateral agent to the holders of 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due
2016 owed roughly $132 million as of the Petition Date -- is
represented by Eric A. Schaffer, Esq., at Reed Smith LLP.  An Ad
Hoc Committee of Holders of the 9% Secured Notes Due 2016 is
represented by Kris M. Hansen, Esq., and Sayan Bhattacharyya,
Esq., at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP.  Wells Fargo and the Ad
Hoc Committee also have hired Stephen M. Pezanosky, Esq., and Mark
Elmore, Esq., at Haynes and Boone, LLP, as local counsel.

U.S. Bank, National Association -- in its capacity as successor
indenture trustee and collateral agent to holders of the 9.00%
Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2012, owed $37 million as of
the Petition Date -- is represented by Michael B. Fisco, Esq., at
Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, as counsel and J. Mark Chevallier, Esq.,
at McGuire Craddock & Strother PC as local counsel.

National Financial, Inc.'s (FNF) 10 year $400 million senior
unsecured debt offering.  Fitch has also affirmed the 'BBB'
Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) of Fidelity National Financial,
Inc.'s (FNF) title insurance companies at 'BBB+'.  Additionally,
Fitch has affirmed the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of FNF at 'BBB-
', and the existing senior debt ratings at 'BB+.'  The Rating
Outlook for all ratings is Stable.

The affirmation of FNF's ratings is driven by the underwriter's
sustained profitability despite challenging economic and real
estate market conditions, improved capital position, and adequate
reserve position.  Offsetting these positives is Fitch's concern
about FNF's capital management strategy and willingness to
periodically increase balance sheet financial leverage to fund
acquisitions, which Fitch views as a limiting factor to the
company's rating. While FNF has been successful to date in most of
its acquisitions, past success does not guarantee future success.

FNF's new $400 million 5.5% debt issuance matures on Sept. 1,
2022.  This issue is an unsecured obligation and will rank equal
in right of payment with the company's existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  The use of proceeds is
to prefund the maturing $236.4 million March 2013 issue and for
general corporate purposes.  The maturing debt had a slightly
lower (25 basis points) coupon so interest coverage is expected to
be slightly reduced from this issuance.  Interest coverage as of
June 30, 2012 was 9.5 times (x).

As of June 30, 2012, FNF had a financial leverage ratio of 19.3%
and a tangible financial leverage ratio of 30.7%.  While stated
financial leverage would increase to 27.4% on a pro forma basis
for June 30, 2012 for the additional $400 million in new debt,
adjusting for the March 2013 maturity financial leverage would be
21.9% or 34.2% on a tangible basis.

Incorporated into Fitch's current ratings is FNF's dominant
position in the title insurance market accounting for
approximately 35% of the U.S. title insurance market.  This scale
coupled with an aggressive cost management focus has allowed FNF
to be one of the most profitable title insurance companies.  As of
second quarter 2012, FNF reported a GAAP combined ratio of 88.8%,
the best of the five publicly traded U.S. title insurance
companies.

The Stable Outlook on the IFS ratings reflects FNF's operating
advantage relative to peers in light of continued challenges faced
by the title insurance industry.  Specifically, mortgage
originations are forecast to fall during 2012, placing added
pressure on title insurance margins.

The following is a list of key rating drivers that could lead to
an upgrade:

  -- Change in operating strategy to target operating company
     capital towards Fitch's guidelines for 'A' IFS category
     title insurers.

  -- An increase in capital adequacy as measured by Fitch's Risk
     Adjusted Capital (RAC) ratio to approximately 150% and a
     sustained improvement in traditional operating company
     capital metrics such as net leverage below 6.0x.

  -- Sustained calendar and accident year profitability.

The following is a list of key rating drivers that could lead to a
downgrade:

  -- An absolute RAC score below 105% or deterioration in
     capitalization such as net leverage above 7.5x.

  -- A sustained increase in financial leverage to 30% or
     higher.

  -- Deterioration in earnings, primarily measured by pretax
     GAAP margins, at a pace greater than peer averages.

  -- Sustained adverse reserve development.

  -- Any acquisition that makes a meaningful change to the
     company's profile, particularly one that increases
     financial leverage.

Fitch has assigned a 'BB+' to the following debt issues:
Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

  -- $400 million 5.5% senior note maturing Sept. 1, 2022.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings with a Stable Outlook:

Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

  -- IDR at 'BBB-';
  -- $300 million 4.25% convertible senior note maturing
     Aug. 15, 2018 at 'BB+';
  -- $236.5 million 5.25% senior note maturing March 15, 2013 at
     'BB+';
  -- $300 million 6.6% senior note maturing May 15, 2017 at
     'BB+';
  -- Four year $800 million unsecured revolving bank line of
     credit due April 16, 2016 at 'BB+'.

Fidelity National Title Ins. Co.
Alamo Title Insurance Co. of TX
Chicago Title Ins. Co.
Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Co.

  -- IFS ratings at 'BBB+'.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

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

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


GEO POINT: Had $283,000 Net Loss in June 30 Quarter
---------------------------------------------------
Geo Point Technologies, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form
10-Q, reporting a net loss of $282,937 on $244,120 of total
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a
net loss of $380,852 on $80,479 of total revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2011.

Revenues from the Company's refining segment for the three months
ended June 30, 2012, were $216,966, compared to $53,968 during the
comparable prior period in 2011.  The increase in revenues was
primarily due to sporadic refinery operations from the
inconsistent availability of feedstock.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$4.4 million in total assets, $3.3 million in total current
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $1.1 million.

The Company has generated limited revenues during the three months
ended June 30, 2012, has a working capital deficit of
$3.1 million, has limited capital to fund operations, and had a
net usage of cash in operations.  "Currently, the Company is in
default on its capital lease totaling $603,187 and its notes
payable and line of credit totaling $944,530.  Additionally, the
Company has had difficulties in securing contracts for the
consistent delivery of crude oil for it to refine.  These
inconsistencies have required the Company to operate the refinery
at below capacity and at times required it to close the refinery.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern."

an emphasis on oil and gas deposit discovery.  During
November 2010, the Company commenced production at the refinery.
The refinery equipment is new and during this initial production
startup phase, the Company has not operated the refinery at its
full capacity due to various factors.  During the quarter and
subsequent period, at times the refinery was shut down due to the
lack of availability of crude oil.

As reported in the TCR on July 19, 2012, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C.,
in Salt Lake City, Utah, expressed substantial doubt about Geo
Point's ability to continue as a going concern, following the
Company's results for the year ended March 31, 2012.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred
significant losses and negative cash flows from operating
activities since inception, has negative working capital and an
accumulated deficit, is in default on certain debt, and is
dependent on additional debt or equity financing in order
to continue its operations.


GOLDEN NUGGET: Moody's Upgrades CFR to 'Caa3'; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Golden Nugget Inc.'s Corporate
Family and Probability of Default ratings to Caa3 from Ca. Moody's
also raised the company's second lien term loan to Ca from C, and
affirmed the Caa3 rating on its first lien bank debt. The rating
outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The upgrade to Caa3 from Ca reflects Golden Nugget's steady
improvement in net revenues from both higher room rates and
increased gaming revenue along with a continued focus on managing
its cost structure which has enabled the company to modestly
improve EBITDA and EBITDA margins since fiscal 2009. Golden Nugget
reported EBITDA of about $51 million for the last twelve months
period ending June 30, 2012 compared to $51 million, $47 million,
and $42 million for fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
EBITDA margins also increased around 200 basis points through that
same period, to about 21% from 19%. However, despite this
operating improvement, Golden Nugget's leverage is still
significant, at over 8 times, and Moody's believes the company
will continue to face a difficult operating environment in the
downtown Las Vegas market that will continue to challenge its
ability to materially reduce its substantial leverage, either
through debt repayment or further EBITDA growth.

Golden Nugget also faces a substantial amount of maturing debt.
The first lien portion of the company's bank matures within the
next 24 months and represents approximately 83% of its total debt.
The debt coming due consists of a $47 million revolving credit
facility expiring on June 30, 2013, a majority of which was
outstanding at June 30, 2012, and a $210 million first lien term
loan and $120 million first lien delayed draw term loan, both of
which mature on June 30, 2014. Golden Nugget also has a $69
million second lien term loan that matures in November 2014.

Ratings raised:

Corporate Family Rating to Caa3 from Ca

Probability of Default Rating to Caa3 from Ca

$165 million ($69 million outstanding) second lien term loan due
2014 to Ca (LGD 6, 92%) from C (LGD 6, 90%)

Ratings affirmed and LDG assessments revised where applicable:

$50 million first lien revolving credit facility expiring June
2013 at Caa3 (LGD 3, to 42% from 41%)

$210 million first lien term loan due June 2014 at Caa3 (LGD 3,
to 42% from 41%)

$120 million first lien delayed-draw term loan due June 2014 at
Caa3 (LGD 3, to 42% from 41%)

Rating Rationale:

Golden Nugget's Caa3 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
ratings reflect the company's small scale and limited
diversification along with the company's very high leverage and
significant upcoming debt maturities. Also considered is the weak
operating environment in the downtown Las Vegas market that
Moody's expect will continue to pressure Golden Nugget's operating
performance. Positive rating consideration is given to the recent
improvement in Golden Nugget's earnings performance and the
significant investment that has already been made in the property
that reduces the company's capital expenditure requirements going
forward. Although the company's EBIT/interest is expected to
remain below one time, EBITDA less capital expenditures/interest
is expected to remain above 1.1 times.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's view that the Caa3
Corporate Family and Probability of Default ratings appropriately
reflect the high level of risk for Golden Nugget. Ratings could be
lowered if it appears Golden Nugget will have difficulty
refinancing its outstanding debt or if the overall probability of
default increases for any reason. A higher rating is possible if
Golden Nugget manages to refinance its debt capital structure in a
manner that does not impair investors and provides some assurance
that the company can adequately service its debt and meet its
financial covenants over the longer-term.

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

Golden Nugget, Inc. is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is a
wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of Landry's Inc. (B2,
Stable). The company owns and operates the Golden Nugget hotel,
casino, and entertainment resorts in downtown Las Vegas and
Laughlin, Nevada. Annual net revenue is approximately $245
million.

GREAT CHINA INTERNATIONAL: Reports $664,000 Q2 Net Loss
-------------------------------------------------------
Great China International Holdings, Inc., filed its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss of $664,492 on
$1.9 million of revenues for the three months ended June 30,
2012, compared with a net loss of $575,120 on $1.9 million of
revenues for the comparable period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss
of $1.3 million on $3.8 million of revenues, compared with a net
loss of $1.3 million on $3.6 million of revenues for the same
period of 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$59.3 million in total assets, $33.7 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $25.6 million.

"The Company has a working capital deficit of $26,777,640 and
$27,643,654 as of June 30, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2011, respectively.
As the Company has limited cash flow from operations, its ability
to maintain normal operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate
cash to finance its overhead, sales and marketing activities.
Additionally, in order for the Company to meet its financial
obligations, including salaries, debt service and operations, it
has maintained substantial short term bank loans that have
historically been renewed each year.  The Company's ability to
meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months largely
depends on the bank loans that involve interest expense
requirements that reduce the amount of cash we have for our
operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern."

HERCULES OFFSHORE: Files Fleet Status Report as of Aug. 21
----------------------------------------------------------
Hercules Offshore, Inc., posted on its Web site at
http://www.herculesoffshore.com/a report entitled "Hercules
Offshore Fleet Status Report".  The Fleet Status Report includes
the Hercules Offshore Rig Fleet Status (as of Aug. 21, 2012),
which contains information for each of the Company's drilling
rigs, including contract day-rate and duration.  The Fleet Status
Report also includes the Hercules Offshore Liftboat Fleet Status
Report, which contains information by liftboat class for July
2012, including revenue per day and operating days.  A copy of the
Report is available for free at http://is.gd/Crqyw4

                      About Hercules Offshore

Hercules Offshore Inc. (NASDAQ: HERO) --
http://www.herculesoffshore.com/-- provides shallow-water
drilling and marine services to the oil and natural gas
exploration and production industry in the United States, Gulf of
Mexico and internationally.  The Company provides these services
to integrated energy companies, independent oil and natural gas
operators and national oil companies.  The Company operates in six
business segments: Domestic Offshore, International Offshore,
Inland, Domestic Liftboats, International Liftboats and Delta
Towing.

The Company reported a net loss of $76.12 million in 2011, a
net loss of $134.59 million in 2010, and a net loss of
$91.73 million in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.04 billion
in total assets, $1.13 billion in total liabilities, and
$913.21 million in stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter said on March 23, 2012, that
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Hercules Offshore, Inc.,
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating
(PDR) to B3 from Caa1 contingent upon the completion of its
recently announced recapitalization plan.

Hercules' B3 CFR reflects its jackup fleet, which consists
primarily of standard specification rigs with an average age of
about 30 years.  Its rigs are geographically concentrated in the
Gulf of Mexico (GoM), a market that experienced a slow-down after
the Macondo well incident.  However, over the last year a pick-up
in permitting and activity levels in the GoM, has led to higher
dayrates.  For Hercules, the improving market conditions have
stabilized its cash flow from operations, which are expected
continue to improve for at least the next 18 to 24 months as old
contracts roll into new contracts with higher dayrates.  These
improving market conditions support the decision to upgrade
Hercules' CFR at this time.

As reported by the TCR on Jan. 23, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services revised its outlook on Houston-based Hercules Offshore
Inc. to stable from negative and affirmed its 'B-' corporate
credit rating on the company.  "The rating on the company's senior
secured credit facility remains 'B-' (the same as the corporate
credit rating on the company) with a recovery rating of '3',
indicating our expectation of a meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of payment default," S&P said.

"Our ratings on Hercules reflect its participation in the highly
volatile and competitive shallow-water drilling and marine
services segments of the oil and gas industry. The ratings also
incorporate our expectation that day rates and utilization for the
company's jack-up rigs in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico will remain
robust throughout 2012. Moreover, we expect the company's domestic
offshore operations will provide the majority of EBITDA generation
in 2012, since its international offshore segment will perform
more weakly compared with 2011 due to lower contract renewal day
rates reflecting current market conditions. The ratings also
incorporate the company's geographic and product diversification
(provided by the its liftboat segments) and adequate liquidity, as
well as the risks associated with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's investigation into possible violations of securities
law, including possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act. The company is also the subject of a review by the
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)," S&P said.


HOSTESS BRANDS: All Workers Now Voting on New Union Contracts
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Hostess Brands Inc. seeks to emerge from bankruptcy
reorganization before the year's end, now that new contracts are
being voted on by all workers at the baker of Wonder bread.

According to the report, Hostess last week disclosed that members
of the Teamsters union are voting until Sept. 14 on a contract
with an 8% wage concession.  Gregory Rayburn, Hostess's chief
executive officer, said in an interview that contracts with the
same terms are going out for vote by members of the company's
other unions, including the bakery workers' union.  Voting to
ratify the contracts, which have "significant" wage concessions,
"isn't easy on them," Rayburn said.  The bakery workers' vote
won't conclude until October, he said.

The report relates that the contracts, if approved by the workers,
solve a problem the bankruptcy judge created by ruling in June
that the court loses power to terminate a contract and impose
lower wages if the collective-bargaining agreement has expired
under its own terms.  The ruling meant that Hostess would have
been required to negotiate until reaching an impasse before being
allowed to impose new wages or work rules unilaterally.  Hostess
managers and salaried workers are taking the same 8% wage
reduction, Rayburn said.

The report notes that Teamsters union leaders aren't telling the
membership which way to vote.  Instead, the union told the workers
that rejecting the contract offer "means the loss of your jobs."

                       About Hostess Brands

Founded in 1930, Irving, Texas-based Hostess Brands Inc., is known
for iconic brands such as Butternut, Ding Dongs, Dolly Madison,
Drake's, Home Pride, Ho Hos, Hostess, Merita, Nature's Pride,
Twinkies and Wonder.  Hostess has 36 bakeries, 565 distribution
centers and 570 outlets in 49 states.

Hostess filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection early morning
on Jan. 11, 2011 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 12-22051 through
12-22056) in White Plains, New York.  Debtor-affiliates that filed
separate Chapter 11 petition are IBC Sales Corporation, IBC
Trucking LLC, IBC Services LLC, Interstate Brands Corporation, and
MCF Legacy Inc.  Hostess Brands disclosed assets of $982 million
and liabilities of $1.43 billion as of Dec. 10, 2011.  Debt
includes $860 million on four loan agreements.  Trade suppliers
are owed as much as $60 million.

The bankruptcy filing was made two years after predecessors
Interstate Bakeries Corp. and its affiliates emerged from
bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D. Mo. Case No. 04-45814).  Ripplewood
Holding LLC, after providing $130 million to finance the plan,
obtained control of IBC's business following the prior
reorganization.  Hostess Brands is privately held.  The new owners
pursued new Chapter 11 cases to escape from what they called
"uncompetitive and unsustainable" union contracts, pension plans,
and health benefit programs.

In 2011, Hostess retained Houlihan Lokey to explore sales of its
smaller assets and individual brands.  Houlihan Lokey oversaw the
sale of Mrs. Cubbison's to Sugar Foods Corporation for
$12 million, but was unable to sell any of Hostess' core assets.
Judge Robert D. Drain oversees the case.  Hostess has hired Jones
Day as bankruptcy counsel; Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP as general
corporate counsel and conflicts counsel; Perella Weinberg Partners
LP as investment bankers, FTI Consulting, Inc. to provide an
interim treasurer and additional personnel for the Debtors, and
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as administrative agent.

Matthew Feldman, Esq., at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, and Harry
Wilson, the head of turnaround and restructuring firm MAEVA
Advisors, are representing the Teamsters union.

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

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


IDEARC INC: Verizon Fails Again to Dismiss $9.8-Bil. Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Verizon Communications Inc. failed for a second time
in less than a year to win dismissal of a $9.8 billion fraudulent
transfer lawsuit brought for the benefit of creditors under the
confirmed Chapter 11 plan of former unit Idearc Inc.  After
refusing this month to throw out the suit, the U.S. District Court
in Dallas, where the case is pending, scheduled the first phase of
trial to begin Oct. 15.  The judge will decide the case without a
jury.

The report recounts that Idearc was spun off from Verizon in 2006,
about 28 months before Idearc filed for Chapter 11 reorganization.
Idearc's Chapter 11 plan, implemented in January 2010, created a
trust for creditors that sued Verizon, alleging that the spinoff
was a fraudulent transfer designed to generate $9.5 billion for
the second-largest phone company in the U.S. Verizon last year
filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that the suit didn't make
sufficient allegations to stand on its own, even if they were
taken as true.  In September, U.S. District Judge A. Joe Fish
allowed almost all of the complaint to stand.

The report relates that this year, Verizon made another stab at
dismissal, this time contending the undisputed facts don't allow
four fraudulent transfer claims to stand.  Judges Fish denied the
motion on Aug. 6 in a 17-page opinion.  The Idearc creditors are
suing under state law to reverse transfers made within six years
before bankruptcy under Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code, which
requires the existence of an actual creditor who could assert the
claim.  Judge Fish agreed with Verizon that Idearc's banks and
bondholders can't be the triggering creditors, given their
participation in the transactions.  Fish allowed the suit to stand
because there was a former employee who was fired before
bankruptcy and sued for wrongful termination.  His one claim,
albeit small, was enough for Fish to allow the state-law based
claims to continue.

Verizon, according to the report, argued that the suit makes a
"mockery of justice" because the "banks and bondholders are
essentially getting to benefit from fraudulent transfer claims
that they themselves could not have brought."  According to the
report Judge Fish rejected the argument, saying he couldn't
"ignore clearly established legal rules."

Judge Fish, the report further discloses, also allowed the lawsuit
to proceed for recovery of more than $1 billion in dividends paid
within two years of bankruptcy.  The two-year claim didn't require
a triggering creditor because it was brought under Section 548 of
the Bankruptcy Code, where there is no such requirement.

The lawsuit is baseless and without merit, Verizon says.  When
Verizon spun off the directory business in 2006, it was
appropriately valued and the company bears no responsibility for
Idearc's bankruptcy, Ray McConville, a Verizon spokesman, said in
an interview.

The creditors' lawsuit is U.S. Bank National Association v.
Verizon Communications Inc., 10-01842, U.S. District Court,
Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

                         About Idearc Inc.

Headquartered in D/FW Airport, Texas, Idearc, Inc., now known as
SuperMedia Inc., is the second largest U.S. yellow pages
publisher.  Idearc was spun off from Verizon Communications, Inc.

Idearc and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on
March 31, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 09-31828).  The
Debtors' financial condition as of Dec. 31, 2008, showed total
assets of $1,815,000,000 and total debts of $9,515,000,000.
Toby L. Gerber, Esq., at Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, represented
the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors tapped
Moelis & Company as their investment banker; Kurtzman Carson
Consultants LLC as their claims agent.

William T. Neary, the United States Trustee for Region 6,
appointed six creditors to serve on the official committee of
unsecured creditors.  The Committee selected Mark Milbank, Tweed,
Hadley & McCloy LLP, as counsel, and Haynes and Boone, LLP, co-
counsel.

Idearc completed its debt restructuring and its plan of
reorganization became effective as of Dec. 31, 2009.  In
connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, Idearc changed its
name to SuperMedia Inc.  Under its reorganization, Idearc reduced
its total debt from more than $9 billion to $2.75 billion of
secured bank debt.

Less than two years since leaving bankruptcy protection,
SuperMedia remains in quandary.  Early in October 2011, Moody's
Investors Service slashed its corporate family rating for
SuperMedia to Caa1 from B3 prior.  The downgrade reflects Moody's
belief that revenues will continue to decline at a double digit
rate for the foreseeable future, leading to a steady decline in
free cash flow.  SuperMedia's sales were down 17% for the second
quarter of 2011 in a generally improving advertising sector.
Moody's ratings outlook for SuperMedia remains negative.

While SuperMedia is attempting to transition the business away
from its reliance on print advertising through development of
online and mobile directory service applications, Moody's is
increasingly concerned that the company will not be able to make
this change quickly enough to stabilize the revenue base over the
intermediate term. Further, the high fixed cost nature of
SuperMedia's business could lead to steep margin compression,
notwithstanding continued aggressive cost management.


IMMUCOR INC: S&P Keeps 'BB-' Ratings on $715MM Credit Facilities
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on
Norcross, Ga.-based Immucor Inc.'s $715 million credit facilities
remain unchanged after the company reduced the pricing on
its $615 million term loan B and extended the maturity on its $100
million revolver by one year to 2017. The rating on the facilities
is 'BB-' (one notch higher than the 'B+' corporate credit rating
on the company.) The recovery rating on the debt remains '2' and
indicates expectations for substantial (70%-90%) recovery in the
event of payment default.

"Our 'B+' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on Immucor
also remain unchanged. The 'B+' rating considers our expectation
that the company's important role in blood transfusion procedures
positions it well for some recovery in demand, but also that it
will continue to operate under a heavy debt burden. As a producer
of equipment and supplies to identify blood cell components, the
company's narrow scope and exposure to technology shifts
contribute to a business risk profile we consider 'fair,'
according to our criteria. In addition, we believe Immucor's
financial risk profile will remain 'highly leveraged,' with
limited near-term prospects it can meaningfully reduce the large
amount of borrowing tied to its 2011 LBO," S&P said.

IMPERIAL CAPITAL: Says FDIC's $17MM Claim Comes 'Far Too Late'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Mahoney at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Imperial Capital
Bancorp on Tuesday blasted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in
California bankruptcy court for raising a purportedly brand new
$17 million fraudulent conveyance claim against it, saying the
claim comes 'far too late' and should not be allowed.

Bankruptcy Law360 relates the bank said the FDIC's new claim
alleging fraudulent transfers by the bank is not contained in any
of its prior proofs of claim and follows a pattern of the
government agency's assertion of previously unstated claims.

                   About Imperial Capital Bancorp

La Jolla, California-based Imperial Capital Bancorp, Inc., filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. S.D. Calif. Case No.

Imperial Resources, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $52,283 on $12,980 of revenue for the

$83,355 on $27,482 of revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2011.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.30 million
in total assets, $2.17 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $130,523.

Madsen & Associates, CPA's Inc., in Salt Lake City, Utah,
expressed substantial doubt about Imperial's ability to continue
as a going concern, following the Company's results for the year
ended March 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company will need additional working capital to service its debt
and for its planned activity.


INERGETICS INC: Had Net Loss of $1.5 Million in Second Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Inergetics, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $1.5 million on $12,684 of revenues for
the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of
$778,104 on $90,141 of revenues for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss
of $3.1 million on $21,181 of revenues, compared with a net loss
of $1.7 million on $104,215 of revenues for the same period of
2011.

The net loss applicable to common shareholders for the six months
ended June 30, 2012, was $3,546,847 which included a preferred
dividend on the Series G stock in the amount of $427,300, compared
to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $1,663,933 for
the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The net loss applicable to common shareholders for the six months
ended June 30, 2012, increased by $1,882,914 as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to an increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses and loss incurred in
the issuance of convertible debt and warrants.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.0 million
in total assets, $6.9 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $4.9 million.

"The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to
achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating
activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes
they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their
business plan and develop an operating company which is cash flow
positive.

"However, the Company has a working capital deficit, significant
debt outstanding, incurred substantial net losses for the six
months ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, and has accumulated a
deficit of approximately $79 million at June 30, 2012.  The
Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from
operating activities to fund its ongoing operations.  There is no
guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue
and/or raise capital to support its operations in the future.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern."

In March 2012, Fitch affirmed the company's 'B-' issuer default
rating.  The IDR affirmation is based on a manageable debt
maturity profile of the company, pro forma for the recently-
consummated secured financing that extends certain of the
company's debt maturities, relieving the overhang of significant
unsecured debt maturities in 2012 and 2013.  While this 2012
financing does not reduce the amount of total debt outstanding,
the company's debt maturity profile is more manageable over the
next two years, with only 48% of debt maturing pro forma, down
from 61%. Given the mild improvement in commercial real estate
fundamentals and value stabilization, the company's loan and real
estate owned portfolio performance will likely improve going
forward, which should increase the company's ability to repay
upcoming indebtedness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jesco Construction Corporation, in an amended motion, asks the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Mississippi for
permission to employ Mathew D. Jacobson and the law firm of
Whitfield & Eddy, PLC, as special counsel to assist in the
Illinois FEMA Litigation.

work performed by the Debtor in Henderson County, Illinois,
Village of Gulfport, Illinois, and other on July 2008 until

of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtor has also requested, in separate filing, for
authorization to employ Brian Min and the Min Law Firm, P.C., as
special counsel in connection with the Illinois FEMA Litigation.

In this relation, the Debtor has withdrawn its motion dated
June 6, 2012, to employ Gary Riebschlager and the Law Firm of

LodgeNet Interactive Corporation has initiated a process to
explore refinancing alternatives for its senior secured credit
facility to address its upcoming debt maturities and tightening
financial covenants.

The Company's Board of Directors has retained Miller Buckfire &

downgraded LodgeNet Interactive Corp.'s Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) to Caa1 from B3 and changed the Probability of Default
Rating (PDR) to Caa2 from Caa1.  The reason for the downgrade is
due to poor first and second quarter financial results and Moody's
expectations that they will not improve in the near term.

Services lowered its corporate credit rating on U.S. in-room
entertainment and data services provider LodgeNet Interactive
Corp. to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  "The downgrade reflects LodgeNet's weak
second-quarter operating performance resulting from a sharp
reduction in its room base, which we expect will continue over the
near term," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Hal Diamond.


LSP ENERGY: Seeks Third Extension of Exclusivity Period
------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that LSP Energy Limited Partnership
filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a second motion to extend for
the third time the exclusive period during which the Company can
file a Chapter 11 plan and solicit acceptances thereof through and
including Sept. 7, 2012 and Nov. 6, 2012, respectively. The Court
scheduled a Sept. 20, 2012 hearing on the matter.

                         About LSP Energy

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

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

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

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

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

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


LUXEYARD INC: Reports $7.5-Mil. Operating Loss in Second Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
Luxeyard, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting
net income of $11.1 million on $705,963 of revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of $3,790 on
$0 revenue for the period from April 20 (Inception) to June 30,
2011.

The Company reported net income of $2.6 million on $861,052 of
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

"The income was primarily from a gain on our complex derivatives
of $13,498,925 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, and a
gain of $19,793,619 for the three month period ended June 30,
2012.  These gains were triggered by a drop in the market value of
our common shares.  Operating loss for the six month period ended
June 30, 2012, was $9,676,355 and for the three month period ended
June 30, 2012, was $7,515,194."

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.2 million
in total assets, $11.3 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $9.1 million.

"As of June 30, 2012, we have generated minimal revenues since
inception.  We expect to finance our operations primarily through
our existing cash, our operations and any future financing.
However, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern because we will be required to obtain
additional capital in the future to continue our operations and
there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital,
through equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, or
on satisfactory terms or at all.  Additionally, no assurance can
be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to
meet our capital needs.  If adequate capital cannot be obtained on
a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our operations would be
materially negatively impacted."

with the developer whose $43 million judgment forced the resort
town into filing for Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy on July 3.

reports that the terms of settlement won't be disclosed until
final documents are drafted.  In the meantime, anyone who objects

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

president and chief executive officer Marshall N. Morton, 66,
plans to retire at the end of this year after 23 years of
outstanding service to the company.  The board also announced that
it has elected George L. Mahoney, 60, vice president-growth and
performance, to succeed Mr. Morton, effective Jan. 1, 2013.  In
the interim, Mr. Mahoney will serve as vice president, chief
operating officer.

J. Stewart Bryan III, chairman of the Media General board, said,
"Marshall joined Media General as chief financial officer in 1989.
In his early years, we refocused Media General on its core
strengths of local news, excellent journalism and southeastern
markets.  As president, he guided Media General through
unprecedented change in the media industry and a severe economic
downturn.  I thank Marshall for his innumerable contributions to
Media General, and I wish him and his wife, Caroline, all the best
in retirement," said Mr. Bryan.  "George has served with
distinction in all his roles since joining Media General in 1993.
As a strong company leader with deep media industry experience, he
is the right person to lead the company forward as a pure
television broadcaster with long-term financing arrangements that
provide flexibility for future growth," said Mr. Bryan.

Mr. Morton said, "I have worked closely with the board to plan for
the best management succession at Media General.  I'm delighted
that the board elected George to succeed me.  He has the
experience, talent and energy to lead Media General to new
successes, and I look forward to assisting in a smooth
transition," said Mr. Morton.

"Media General has a very promising future as a television
broadcaster, with our portfolio of top ranked stations located in
attractive markets," said Mr. Mahoney.  "I am honored to have the
opportunity to lead the company forward at this time of great
opportunity.  We will capitalize on the new frontiers afforded by
technology and evolving consumer preferences.  As we grow, we will
uphold our commitment to trusted journalism and to our values of
integrity, quality and innovation," said Mr. Mahoney.

Mr. Mahoney became vice president-growth and performance on
Oct. 1, 2011.  Prior to joining Media General, Mr. Mahoney was
assistant general counsel for Dow Jones & Company from 1982-1993.
He worked in New York City for the law firm Satterlee & Stephens
from 1978-1982, specializing in First Amendment and intellectual
property matters. He holds B.A. and J.D. degrees from the
University of Virginia. Mr. Mahoney has been active with a number

year ended Dec. 25, 2011, a net loss of $22.64 million for the

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 12, 2012,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded, among other things, Media
General's Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default
Rating (PDR) to Caa1 from B3, concluding the review for downgrade
initiated on Feb. 13, 2012.  The downgrade reflects the
significant increase in interest expense associated with the
company's credit facility amend and extend transaction and an
assumed issuance of at least $225 million of new notes, which will
result in limited free cash flow generation and constrain Media
General's capacity to reduce its very high leverage.  The weak
free cash flow and high leverage create vulnerability to changes
in the company's highly cyclical revenue and EBITDA generation.

According to the May 23, 2012 edition of the TCR, Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating
on Media General, along with its 'CCC+' issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured notes, on CreditWatch with positive
implications.

"The CreditWatch placement is based on Media General's agreement
to sell the majority of its newspaper assets to BH Media Group, a
subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.  The CreditWatch also
reflects the announcement that the company will refinance its
existing bank debt due in March 2013. It expects to close the
refinancing transaction next week and the newspaper sale by June
25, 2012," S&P said.

performance in the important fourth quarter, given the seasonality
of the company's business," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Brian Milligan.  "The CreditWatch placement remains effective,
given the pending IPO."

MOTORS LIQUIDATION: Trustee Executes Amendment to GUC Trust Pact
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust was previously funded by,
among other sources, approximately $52.7 million in cash provided
by Motors Liquidation Company.  Pursuant to the GUC Trust
Agreement, the Administrative Fund is held and maintained by
Wilmington Trust Company, as trust administrator, for the purpose
of paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the GUC Trust,
including the fees of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC
Trust Monitor and the fees and expenses of other professionals
retained by the GUC Trust.  The United States Department of the
Treasury and the Governments of Canada and Ontario maintain a lien
on the Administrative Fund, which relates to certain funds
advanced by the DIP Lenders at the commencement of the insolvency
proceedings of Debtor and its affiliated debtors-in-possession.

Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, the amounts of payments from
the Administrative Fund to individual GUC Trust professionals are
capped on an annual and cumulative basis, which restrictions may
be released with the written consent of the DIP Lenders.  By
letter dated July 24, 2012, the DIP Lenders consented to allow
individual GUC Trust professionals to be paid, from the
Administrative Fund, amounts in excess of the line item amounts
allocated to those professional on both an annual and a cumulative
basis, provided that the aggregate amount allocated to GUC Trust
professionals as a whole, on a cumulative basis, are not exceeded.
The DIP Lenders' Letter further provided for the execution of an
amendment to the GUC Trust Agreement in order to effectuate the
foregoing.

On Aug. 23, 2012, as contemplated by the DIP Lenders' Letter, the
GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor executed the
Second Amendment to the GUC Trust Agreement.

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL: Enters Into $1-Bil. Sr. Secured Facility
----------------------------------------------------------------
Navistar International Corporation and Navistar, Inc., signed a
definitive credit agreement relating to an up to five-year senior
secured, term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal
amount of $1,000,000,000 with the lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the
Lenders, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs Lending
Partners LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners,
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint bookrunners, and Goldman
Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as syndication agent.  The facility is
guaranteed by Navistar International Corporation and fifteen of
its subsidiaries, namely, IC Bus, LLC, SST Truck Company LLC, IC
Bus of Oklahoma, LLC, Navistar Diesel of Alabama, LLC, Navistar
RV, LLC (f/k/a Monaco RV, LLC), Navistar Big Bore Diesels, LLC,
Workhorse International Holding Company, Navistar Aftermarket
Products, Inc., Continental Mfg. Company, Inc., Indianapolis
Casting Corporation, International Truck Intellectual Property
Company, LLC, International Engine Intellectual Property Company,
LLC, Pure Power Technologies, LLC, Navistar Defense, LLC and
UpTime Parts, LLC.

On Aug. 17, 2012, Navistar, Inc., borrowed an aggregate principal
amount of $1,000,000,000 under the term loan credit facility, a
portion of the proceeds of which were used to repay all
outstanding loans under Navistar, Inc.'s existing senior secured,
asset-based revolving credit facility entered into on Oct. 18,
2011, and certain other indebtedness and to pay certain fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the new term loan credit
facility and the remainder of which will be used for ongoing
working capital purposes and general corporate purposes.  The term
loan credit agreement requires quarterly amortization payments of
$2,500,000, with the balance due at maturity.

This new term loan credit facility is secured by a first priority
security interest in certain assets of the Companies as more fully
described in the term loan credit agreement.  The term loan credit
agreement contains customary provisions for financings of this
type, including, without limitation, representations and
warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of
default.  Generally, if an event of default occurs and is not
cured within any specified grace period, the administrative agent,
at the request of the lenders holding not less than a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding term loans, may declare the
term loans to be due and payable immediately.  Borrowings by
Navistar, Inc., under this facility will accrue interest at a rate
equal to a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus a spread.  The
spread is 450 basis points for base rate borrowings and 550 basis
points for Eurodollar rate borrowings.

                        ABL Credit Agreement

On Aug. 17, 2012, Navistar, Inc., entered into an amended and
restated ABL credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of
$175,000,000 with the Lenders party thereto, and Bank of America,
N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders, providing for a
term of up to four years and nine months.  The ABL credit
agreement amended and restated the existing senior secured, asset-
based revolving credit facility entered into on Oct. 18, 2011, by
Navistar, Inc., and seven of its manufacturing subsidiaries,
including IC Bus, LLC, SST Truck Company, LLC, IC Bus of Oklahoma,
LLC, Navistar Diesel of Alabama, LLC, Monaco RV, LLC, Navistar Big
Bore Diesels, LLC and Workhorse Custom Chassis, LLC.  Following
the amendment and restatement of the existing facility, each of
the Subsidiaries was released from its obligations under the
existing credit facility.

This new ABL facility is secured by a first priority security
interest in Navistar, Inc.'s aftermarket parts inventory that is
stored at certain parts distribution centers, storage facilities
and third party processor or logistics provider locations.  The
ABL credit agreement contains customary provisions for financings
of this type, including, without limitation, representations and
warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of
default.  All borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement will
accrue interest at a rate equal to a base rate or an adjusted
LIBOR rate plus a spread.  The spread, which will be based on an
availability-based measure, ranges from 175 basis points to 225
basis points for Base Rate borrowings and 275 basis points to 325
basis points for LIBOR borrowings.  The initial LIBOR spread is
275 basis points.

$11.50 billion in total assets, $11.69 billion in total

                           *     *     *

In the Aug. 3, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Navistar International Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating (CFR), Probability of Default Rating (PDR), and senior note
rating to B2 from B1.  The downgrade of Navistar's ratings
reflects the significant challenges the company will face during
the next eighteen months in re-establishing the profitability and
competitiveness of its US and Canadian truck operations in light
of the failure to achieve EPA certification of its EGR emissions
technology, the significant reductions in military revenues and
substantially higher engine warranty reserves.

As reported by the TCR on June 13, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its ratings on Navistar International Corp.,
including the corporate credit rating to 'B+', from 'BB-'.  "The
downgrade and CreditWatch placement reflect the company's
operational and financial setbacks in recent months," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sol Samson.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 8, 2012, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) for Navistar
International Corporation (NAV) and Navistar Financial
Corporation (NFC) to 'B-' from 'B+'.  The rating downgrades for
NAV and NFC consider the negative impact of recent developments
including already weak operating results in 2012 that are likely
to be worse than previously expected by Fitch.


NEDAK ETHANOL: Inks Collateral Maintenance Pact with AgCountry
--------------------------------------------------------------
NEDAK Ethanol, LLC, entered into a Collateral Maintenance and
Preservation Agreement with AgCountry Farm Credit Services, FLCA.
The Agreement is effective as of Aug. 1, 2012.

The Company is currently in default under its Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated Dec. 31, 2011, with AgCountry Farm, the
First Supplement to the Amended and Restated Master Credit
Agreement between the Company and the Senior Lender dated Dec. 31,
2011, and an Amended and Restated Term Note dated Dec. 31, 2011.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Senior Lender has agreed that the
Company has made, and may continue to make, requests for: (i) the
use of certain cash constituting proceeds of the Senior Lender's
collateral and (ii) Senior Lender to make certain additional cash
advances to or for the benefit of the Company, all in order to
fund certain budgeted expenses the Company has determined to be
necessary to idle the ethanol plant located in Atkinson, Nebraska
and for the maintenance, protection and preservation of the
collateral.

All Protective Advances and any other payments made or expenses
incurred by the Senior Lender pursuant to the Agreement, or made
or incurred by the Senior Lender in advance of the execution of
the Agreement, become part of the Company's obligations under the
Restated Loan Documents and will bear interest at the default rate
specified in the Restated Loan Documents.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Senior Lender
expressly states that it has not waived any of the defaults by the
Company under the Restated Loan Documents and that it has not
agreed to forebear from exercising its enforcement rights or any
remedy that may be available under the Senior Loan Documents or
any other documents between the parties.  The Senior Lender
continues to reserve all rights, remedies, and privileges afforded
under the Restated Loan Documents and any other documents between
the parties.  Those remedies include, among others, the right to
take possession of the Plant, foreclose on the liens on the
Company's property and sell the premises independent of any
foreclosure proceedings.

                 Amends Agreement with AgCountry

In February 2007, the Company entered into a master credit
agreement with AgCountry Farm Credit Services FCA regarding a
senior secured credit facility.  As of Dec. 31, 2010, and
throughout 2011, the Company was in violation of several loan
covenants required under the original credit agreement and
therefore, the Company was in default under the credit agreement.
However, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with
AgCountry which remained effective until June 30, 2011.  This
default resulted in all debt under the original credit agreement
being classified as current liabilities effective as of Dec. 31,
2010.  The loan covenants under the original credit agreement
included requirements for minimum working capital of $6,000,000,
minimum current ratio of 1.20:1.00, minimum tangible net worth of
$41,000,000, minimum owners' equity ratio of 50%, and a minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00, and also included
restrictions on distributions and capital expenditures.

On Dec. 31, 2011, the Company and AgCountry entered into an
amended and restated master credit agreement pursuant to which the
parties agreed to restructure and re-document the loans and other
credit facilities provided by AgCountry.

Under the amended agreement, the Company is required to make level
monthly principal payments of $356,164 through Feb. 1, 2018.
Beginning on Sept. 30, 2012, and the last day of the first,
second, and third quarters thereafter, the Senior Lender will make
a 100% cash flow sweep of the Company's operating cash balances in
excess of $3,600,000 to be applied to the principal balance.  In
addition, the Company is required to make monthly interest
payments at the one month LIBOR plus 5.5%, but not less than 6.0%.
The interest rate was 6.0% as of Dec. 31, 2011.  In addition to
the monthly scheduled payments, the Company made a special
principal payment in the amount of $7,105,272 on Dec. 31, 2011.
As of Dec. 31, 2011, and 2010, the Company had $26,000,000 and
$38,026,321 outstanding on the loan, respectively.

ORIGINOIL INC: Had $3.3 Million Net Loss in Second Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------
OriginOil, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $3.27 million on $15,000 of sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of
$929,746 on $40,500 of sales for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss
of $5.06 million on $553,163 of sales, compared with a net loss of
$1.74 million on $142,500 of sales for the same period a year
earlier.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $1.07 million
in total assets, $1.24 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $166,133.

"The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has
negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and
appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent
upon, among other things, additional cash infusion.  The Company
has obtained funds from its shareholders in the six months ended
June 30, 2012, and has standing purchase orders from a principal
customer.  Management believes this funding will continue from its
current investors and has also obtained funding from new
investors.  Management believes the existing shareholders and the
prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed
to meet the Company's obligations as they become due, and will
allow the development of its core business operations."

Los Angeles, California-based OriginOil, Inc., has developed an
energy production process for harvesting algae and cleaning up oil
and gas water.  Operating at the first stage of extraction, this
high-speed and chemical-free process can be embedded in other
systems to improve performance.  Originally invented to solve the
biggest problem in algae production, it is now finding demand in
oil and gas fracking and production water cleanup.  The Company is
neither a producer nor a service company.  The Company intends to
embed its technology into the systems others build and sell,
through joint ventures, private labeling and licensing agreements.


PANDA TEMPLE: S&P Gives 'B' Rating on $340MM Senior Secured Debt
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' senior secured
rating and '3' recovery rating to Panda Temple Power LLC's
(Temple) senior secured $75 million first-lien term loan A, $255
million term loan B, and $10.16 million letter of credit facility.
The '3' recovery rating indicates meaningful recovery (50% to 70%)
of principal in a default scenario. Cross-acceleration provisions
exist between term loans A and B and all the debt is pari passu.
The outlook is stable.

"The 'B' rating reflects a high amount of total debt and
cumulative interest payments at the close of the transaction and
at debt maturity. Our rating also reflects the project's
construction risk, exposure to merchant energy prices, and a high
degree of sensitivity to capacity factors and market heat rates
(the efficiency with which a generation unit converts heating
content of a fuel into electricity)," S&P said.

"The project will use loan proceeds to build the Panda Temple
Power Plant, a nominal 758 MW natural gas-fired facility in
Temple, Texas," S&P said.

Temple is a special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote operating entity.
Panda Power Funds and a consortium of other equity investors
together own the equity in the project.

"The stable outlook on the debt ratings reflects fairly steady
cash flow through 2018 due to hedging positions and favorable cash
flow prospects thereafter," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Manish Consul.

"A downgrade is possible if our expectation of debt at maturity
changes to greater than $400 per kW and if debt service coverage
ratios steadily decline below 1.1x. This would likely result from
construction delays, lower-than-expected spark spreads or
operational performance, or higher operating and maintenance
costs. An upgrade would require a large and sustainable
improvement in merchant market prices that would reduce refinance
risk to below $100 per kW," S&P said.

bankruptcy reorganization of Patriot Coal Corp. be transferred
from Manhattan to West Virginia.

According to the report, the West Virginia attorney general and
insurance companies previously filed motions to move the case to
the state were eight of the 12 coal mines are located.  Those who
want to move the case concede that New York is a technically
correct courthouse because two subsidiaries were incorporated
under New York law about a month before bankruptcy.  They argue
the judge should move the case in the interests of justice or for
the convenience of the parties.

The Bloomberg report disclosed that there will be hearing on
Sept. 11 to decide if the case should move to West Virginia.

PEREGRINE FINANCIAL: Trustee Can Hire Foley & Lardner as Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------------
Megan Stride at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Carol A. Doyle gave Peregrine Financial Group Inc.'s
liquidating trustee approval on Tuesday to retain Foley & Lardner
LLP, which has represented Peregrine in the past, as his special
commodities counsel to help dismantle the brokerage firm.

                     About Peregrine Financial

Peregrine Financial Group Inc. filed to liquidate under Chapter 7
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 12-27488)
on July 10, 2012, disclosing between $500 million and $1 billion
of assets, and between $100 million and $500 million of
liabilities.

Earlier that day, at the behest of the U.S. Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, a U.S. district judge appointed a receiver and
froze the firm's assets.  The firm put itself into bankruptcy
liquidation in Chicago later the same day.  The CFTC had sued
Peregrine, saying that more than $200 million of supposedly
segregated customer funds had been "misappropriated."  The CFTC
case is U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Peregrine
Financial Group Inc., 12-cv-5383, U.S. District Court, Northern
District of Illinois (Chicago).

Peregrine's CEO Russell R. Wasendorf Sr. unsuccessfully attempted
suicide outside a firm office in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on July 9.

The bankruptcy petition was signed in his place by Russell R.
Wasendorf Jr., the firm's chief operating officer. The resolution
stated that Wasendorf Jr. was given a power of attorney on July 3
to exercise if Wasendorf Sr. became incapacitated.

Peregrine Financial is the regulated unit of the brokerage
PFGBest.

At a quickly-convened hearing on July 13, the bankruptcy judge
authorized the Chapter 7 trustee to operate Peregrine's business
on a "limited basis" through Sept. 13.

PETRA FUND: Final Decree Closing Chapter 11 Cases Entered
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
entered a final decree closing the Chapter 11 cases of Petra Fund
Reit Corp., et al.

The Court directed the Debtor that all U.S. Trustee fees due and
owing for the cases of the post-confirmation Debtors will be paid
days after the entry of the final decree.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 25, 2012,
the Court confirmed the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization
proposed by Petra Fund Reit Corp., et al., dated Dec. 21, 2011.

According to the Debtors, during their Chapter 11 cases, they
continued to engage in negotiations with its secured creditors,
the Royal Bank of Scotland plc and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc.,
to finalize a proposed plan.  While it was originally contemplated
that the transactions proposed in the Plan Support Agreement would
be embodied in the Debtors' Plan, the Debtors were unable to
obtain consent to such a plan from both of its secured creditors.

Accordingly, the Debtors modified its proposed restructuring that
will be deemed satisfactory to both JPM and RBS and the modified
version of the Debtor's proposed restructuring is now embodied in
the Plan.  Importantly, the Debtors and its secured creditors came
to the realization that for a restructuring to work, it would not
be possible to guarantee that REIT would retain its status as a
qualified real estate investment trust for federal tax purposes.
As a result, the Debtors' proposed restructuring of REIT in the
Plan is not dependent on REIT retaining such tax status.

The Plan provides for the dissolution of Offshore, sale of the
Settlement Payments, sale of the Equity Interests and
reorganization of REIT and the treatment of each holder of a Claim
against, or Equity Interests in, the Debtors.  Such treatment
includes the payment in full of all Administrative Claims, unless
otherwise agreed to; with respect to RBS, the deemed delivery of
the Class F Bonds and Class G Bonds (to the extent the Class F
Bonds and Class G Bonds were not previously foreclosed upon by
RBS), the issuance of a new debt instrument that will continue to
be secured by a first-priority Lien on the RBS REIT Collateral and
the allowance of an unsecured deficiency claim; with respect to
JPM, the issuance of a new debt instrument that will continue to
be secured by a first-priority Lien on the JPM REIT Collateral;
the distribution to holders of General Unsecured Claims of a Pro
Rata Share of the Distributable Assets, if there are any; and
cancellation of all existing Equity Interests.

With respect to the sales transactions contemplated in the Plan,
the Debtors will be accepting bids for the Settlement Payments and
Equity Interests of REIT will be provided to all creditors and
holders of Equity Interests of the Debtors.

originating, investing in, structuring and trading loans secured
by commercial real-estate.  Petra Offshore Fund LP is the parent.

Petra Fund and Petra Offshore sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 10-15500) on Oct. 20, 2010, and are
represented by Shaya M. Berger, Esq., and Brian E. Goldberg, Esq.,
at Dickstein Shapiro, LLP.  At the time of the filing, each of the
Debtor estimated its assets at less than $10 million and its debts
at more than $100 million.

Petra Fund blamed its Chapter 11 filing on the extraordinary and
unprecedented collapse of the credit and commercial real estate
markets, which caused a mark-to-market value of its assets to
plummet.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
will convene a hearing on Feb. 3, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. to consider
confirmation of Petra Fund Reit Corp., et al.'s Plan of
Reorganization dated as of Dec. 19, 2011.

attributes of the consolidated group, including net operating
losses.  As of June 2012, the consolidated group had net losses of
$1.1 billion and tax credits of approximately $195 million.

resources to pay the outstanding principal amount of the 4.50%
Convertible Senior Notes, 6.000% Senior Notes and the 6.625%
Senior Notes if those amounts were to become due and payable.

losses, had negative cash flows from operations in 2011 and 2010,
and has a working capital deficit of approximately $49.8 million

in total assets, $50.87 million in total current liabilities, and
a stockholders' deficit of $49.69 million.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"The committee of our three independent directors continues to
assess whether the Company has any other options to remain in
business.  Due to the shortage of working capital, we were unable
to pay premiums associated with our Directors and Officers
insurance.  As a consequence, on June 25, 2012, we were informed
by two members of our Board of Directors of their resignation.  As
a result, we have only one independent Director serving on our
Board at this time.  Although our remaining sales team continues
to work towards completing pending and future sales of our Onko-
Sure test kit, if these sales are not completed and we do not
otherwise raise additional funds in the immediate future, it is
likely that we will be forced to cease all operations and might
seek protection from our creditors under the United States
bankruptcy laws," the Company said in its annual report for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2011.

                       About Riviera Holdings

Riviera Holdings Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Riviera Operating Corporation, owns and operates the Riviera Hotel
& Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada, which consists of a hotel
comprised of five towers with 2,075 guest rooms, including 177
suites, and which has traditional Las Vegas-style gaming,
entertainment and other amenities.

In addition, Riviera Holdings, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., owns and operates the
Riviera Black Hawk Casino, a casino in Black Hawk, Colorado and
has various non-gaming amenities, including parking, buffet-styled
restaurant, delicatessen, a casino bar and a ballroom.

Riviera Holdings together with the two affiliates filed for
Chapter 11 on July 12, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada (Bankr. D. Nev.
Case No. 10-22910).  Riviera Holdings estimated assets and debts
of $100 million to $500 million in its petition.  Thomas H. Fell,
Esq., at Gordon Silver, represents the Debtors in the Chapter 11
cases.  XRoads Solutions Group, LLC, is the financial and
restructuring advisor.  Garden City Group Inc. is the claims and
notice agent.

Riviera Holdings' Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization was
confirmed on Nov. 17, 2010.  Under the Plan, nearly $280 million
in debt will be replaced with a $50 million loan.  Creditors will
receive new stock relative to what they are owed, and holders of
current stock will receive nothing.  A total of $10 million in
working capital will come from the new owners, along with $20
million in loans to cover investments in the Las Vegas hotel.

The Plan of Reorganization became effective on Dec. 1, 2010, but
the Plan of Reorganization cannot be substantially consummated
until various regulatory and third party approvals are obtained.
The Substantial Consummation Date will be the 3rd business day
following the day the last approval is obtained.

                           *     *     *

In the July 9, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Riviera Holdings Corporation's Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings to Caa2 from Caa1.  The downgrade
of Riviera's Corporate Family Rating to Caa2 reflects heightened
concern on Moody's part regarding Rivera's ability to achieve
profitability over the next few years given that Riviera Las
Vegas, the company's only asset, generates negative EBITDA.

As reported by the TCR on July 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services assigned its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating to Riviera
Holdings Corp.

"The 'CCC+' corporate credit rating reflects the company's high
debt leverage and vulnerable business position. Riviera operates
two properties (located in Blackhawk, Colo. and Las Vegas, Nev.)
with second-tier market positions in the highly competitive
markets," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Halchak.
"The rating also factors in the company's excess cash, which we
believe would support the company in the event of a moderate
decline in operating performance."


RCS CAPITAL: Bifferato Gentilotti's as Special Counsel Approved
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Randolph J. Haines of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona authorized RCS Capital Development, LLC to
supplement the employment of Bifferato Gentilotti LLC to include
services as special counsel in the appeal.

RCS Capital, LLC, managing member of the Debtor requested for the
retention supplement.

The Court also ordered that there will be no set off against the
retainer, if the the firm has obtained a retainer, and no
compensation paid or expenses reimbursed.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 29, 2012, the
Court authorized the employment of Bifferato Gentilotti as special
Delaware counsel.

RCS is a creditor and party-in-interest in the Chapter 15 case of
A.B.C. Learning Centres Limited, et al., Case No. 10-11711, and an
appellant in an appeal of a bankruptcy matter in the ABC Case
pending before the District Court, Case No. 11-cv-245.

After the Debtor filed its Voluntary Petition, Bifferato
Gentilotti was required by the District Court to file certain
letter of status reports with the Court.  Despite the firm's
uncertainty as to whether it would be retained as special counsel
in the bankruptcy case, the firm complied with the requirements of
the District Court and incurred approximately $1,500 in fees and
expenses between the Petition Date and Jan. 6, 2012.  Accordingly,
the Debtor seeks to employ Bifferato Gentilotti so that the firm
may be compensated for its fees and expenses.

The firm's hourly rates are:

             Garvan F. McDaniel     $375 per hour
             Mary E. Augustine      $340 per hour
             Paralegals             $195 per hour

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, Bifferato Gentilotti does
not hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtor or its
estate.

                        About RCS Capital

RCS Capital Development, LLC, et al., filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 11-28746) on Oct. 12, 2011.  Michael W.
Carmel, Esq., at Michael W. Carmel, Ltd., in Phoenix, Ariz.,
represents the Debtor as counsel.

RCS's bankruptcy schedules reflect assets of US$57,038,210, of
which the largest is a judgment in the approximate amount of
US$57,000,000 against ABC Learning Centres Ltd., an Australia-
based operator of childcare centers.  RCS's bankruptcy schedules
reflect liabilities of approximately of US$47,169,203, the most
significant of which is the disputed US$41,000,000 claim of ABC.

Judge Randolph J. Haines presides over RCS's case.

RCS had various contractual relationships with ABC that resulted
in litigation in Maricopa County.  That litigation resulted in a
US$50 million jury verdict against ABC and judgment (worth
US$56,456,732 as of Nov. 15, 2011).  Liquidators for ABC filed for
recognition under Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware about two weeks
after RCS obtained its verdict.  Judge Kevin Gross entered an
order on Nov. 16, 2010, that recognized the Chapter 15 proceeding.

ABC liquidators contended in papers filed in Delaware that RCS
violated the Chapter 15 order by continuing actions in Nevada to
seize property in which the liquidators claimed an interest.  At a
hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Oct. 4, 2011, the
liquidators asked Judge Gross to rule that RCS violated the
automatic stay.  The liquidators also wanted RCS to be held in
contempt, directed to return property and assessed with punitive
damages.  Judge Gross concluded the Oct. 4, 2011 hearing and said
he would rule later.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 17, 2011,
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, noted
that perhaps hoping to preclude Judge Gross from handing down an
unfavorable ruling, RCS filed its own Chapter 11 petition on
Oct. 12, 2011, in Phoenix.

The Debtor's Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization provides that
City of North Las Vegas, holder of a $293,000 secured claim, will
receive proceeds from the sale of property in West Ann Road, in
North Las Vegas.  The remaining proceeds of the property,
estimated to be worth not less than $500,000, will be paid for the
claims of other classes.  With respect to Hill Crest Bank, a
secured creditor, the Debtor would convey to Hill Crest the
properties at South Valley View, and Simmons Properties to Hill
Crest.  Unsecured creditors other than ABC Learning Centres are
impaired although they are expected to be paid in full using the
remaining proceeds from the Ann Road Sale the Debtor's profit
participation in the property at East Russell Road, in Las Vegas.
ABC Learning's unsecured claim is unimpaired under the Plan.
Owners of the Debtor will retain their equity interests.

SEARCHMEDIA HOLDINGS: Reports US$9.8 Million Profit in H1 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------
SearchMedia Holdings Limited reported unaudited financial results
for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The Company reported net
profit after tax of US$9.81 million on US$16.10 million of
advertisting service revenues fo the six months ended June 30,
2012, compared with net profit before tax of $684,000 on $28.31
million of advertising service revenues for the first half of
2011.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed US$39.18
million in total assets, US$41.22 million in total liabilities and
a US$2.04 million total shareholders' deficit.

Peter W.H. Tan, chief executive officer of SearchMedia remarked,
"The first six months of 2012 are an important transition period
for the Company.  We have strategically streamlined our business
by closing unprofitable offices and divesting certain subsidiaries
and eliminating the underlying earnout liability in order to
pursue more accretive concession opportunities.  These actions
resulted in reduced performance in the first half of 2012.
However, as shown by the recent announcement of our nationwide
concession with Home Inns & Hotel Management, Inc., and our new
Luxury Mall LCD Advertising Joint Venture we believe that we will
create significant shareholder value through strategic, long term
proprietary concessions with prominent partners.  We have
additional concessions in our pipeline and we expect additional
announcements during the balance of 2012.  We expect these
concessions will result in SearchMedia becoming a much larger and
more profitable company and we will start to see the impact in the
second half of 2012 as a result of the improved cash flow and cost
savings.  We estimate revenue per location of approximately
$200,000 for the Luxury Mall LCD Joint Venture with a net margin
of 40% and over $120,000 in revenue per location for the Home Inns
concession with net margin of 30%.  The Company also eliminated
its VIE structure in December 2011 in order that our shareholders
have a direct interest in all of the operations and subsidiaries,
in addition to improving transparency."

SERVICEMASTER COMPANY: Moody's Lifts Secured Debt Rating to 'Ba3'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the secured debt rating on The
ServiceMaster Company's senior secured bank credit facility to Ba3
from B1. All other ratings were affirmed, including the B2
Corporate Family and Probability of Default, the B3 guaranteed
senior unsecured notes, Caa1 unguaranteed senior unsecured notes
and SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity ratings. The ratings outlook
is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The Ba3 rating on the senior secured bank credit facility reflects
the lower expected loss given default on the secured debt
following the decrease in the proportion of senior secured debt in
ServiceMaster's liability waterfall. This results from yesterday's
$276 million Term Loan B repayment with proceeds of a recent
senior unsecured bond issue. Moody's also anticipates full
redemption of the $396 million of 10.75% senior guaranteed toggle
notes due 2015 during September, 2012.

"Despite the decline in sales from TruGreen's change in sales
strategy and the negative impact to sales and EBITDA from the
ongoing drought in the western and mid-western U.S., we expect
2013 EBITDA to grow by a mid single digit rate to around $730
million (after Moody's standard adjustments)", noted Edmond
DeForest, senior analyst at Moody's.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation for mid-
single digit EBITDA growth and improving financial strength
metrics in the next 12-18 months. The ratings could be downgraded
if ServiceMaster fails to make steady progress reducing debt to
EBITDA to under 6.0 times. The ratings could be upgraded if
ServiceMaster demonstrates steady revenue and profitability growth
and improves credit metrics such that Debt to EBITDA and free cash
flow to debt are sustained at less than 5 times and above 5%,
respectively.

The following ratings were upgraded (LGD assessments revised):

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility due 2014 & 2017, Upgraded to
Ba3 (LGD3, 30%) from B1 (LGD3, 34%)

The following ratings were affirmed (LGD assessments revised):

$396 million 10.75%/11.50% Senior Toggle Notes due 2015, B3 (LGD
5, 72%)

$603MM 8% senior guaranteed notes due 2020, B3 (LGD5, 72%)

$750 million 7% senior guaranteed notes due 2020, B3 (LGD5, 72%)

$79 million senior unsecured notes due 2018, Caa1 (LGD 6, 95%)

$155 million senior unsecured notes due 2027, Caa1 (LGD 6, 95%)

$62 million senior unsecured notes due 2038, Caa1 (LGD 6, 95%)

Corporate Family Rating, B2

Probability of Default Rating, B2

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-2

(lawn care, termite and pest control, home service contracts,
cleaning and disaster restoration, house cleaning, furniture
repair and home inspection), through company-owned operations and

SHENGDATECH INC: Posts $9.5 Million Net Loss in July
----------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that ShengdaTech, Inc., filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court a monthly operating report for July 2012.
For the period the Company reported a net loss of $9.5 million on
$446,000 in revenue.

                          About ShengdaTech

Headquartered in Shanghai, China, ShengdaTech, Inc., makes nano
precipitated calcium carbonate for the tire industry.
ShengdaTech converts limestone into nano-precipitated calcium
carbonate (NPCC) using its proprietary and patent-protected
technology.  NPCC products are increasingly used in tires, paper,
paints, building materials, and other chemical products.  In
addition to its broad customer base in China, the Company
currently exports to Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia,
India, Latvia and Italy.

ShengdaTech sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from
creditors (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 11-52649) on Aug. 19, 2011, in
Reno, Nevada, in the United States.

The Shanghai-China based company said in its bankruptcy filing it
would fire all of its officers and restructure to try to recover
from an accounting scandal.

The Company disclosed US$295.4 million in assets and US$180.9
million in debt as of Sept. 30, 2011.

The Company's legal representative in its Chapter 11 case is
Greenberg Traurig, LLP.  On Aug. 23, 2011, the Court entered an
interim order confirming the Board of Directors Special
Committee's appointment of Michael Kang as the Debtor's chief
restructuring officer.

Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC, is the Company's chief
restructuring officer.

As reported in by the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 7, 2011,
the United States Trustee appointed AG Ofcon, LLC, The Bank of
New York, Mellon (in its role as indenture trustee for
bondholders), and Zazove Associates, LLC, to serve on the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of ShengdaTech, Inc.

Hogan Lovells US serves as counsel for ShengdaTech's official
committee of unsecured creditors.

The Plan provides for the wind-down of the Debtor's affairs and
the Distribution of the Debtor's remaining assets to Creditors.

SOLYNDRA LLC: Seagate Agrees to Buy Plant for $90 Million
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Solyndra LLC will sell its plant in Fremont,
California, for $90.3 million to an affiliate of Seagate
Technology Plc unless a higher offer turns up at auction.

According to the report, the bankruptcy court in Delaware will
hold a hearing on Sept. 24 to rule on auction and sale procedures.
Solyndra wants competing bids about 45 days after the judge
approves auction procedures.  There is no date as yet for a
hearing to approve sale.

The report notes Solyndra has been marketing the plant since
February when it became evident no one would purchase the facility
and restart operations making solar panels.  The equipment in the
plant was sold in a series of auction.

                        About Solyndra LLC

Founded in 2005, Solyndra LLC was 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.

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.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Solyndra LLC has
tapped Blank Rome LLP as counsel and BDO Consulting as financial
advisors.

In October 2011, the Debtors hired Berkeley Research Group, LLC,
and designated R. Todd Neilson as Chief Restructuring Officer.

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.

When they filed for Chapter 11, the Debtors pursued 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 were unable to identify any potential
buyers, an orderly liquidation of the assets for the benefit of
their creditors.

Solyndra did not receive acceptable offers to buy the business as
a going concern.  Two auctions late last year brought in a total
of $8 million.  A three-day auction in February generated another
$3.8 million.  An auction in June generated $1.79 million from the
sale of 7,200 lots of equipment.

Solyndra filed a liquidating plan at the end of July and scheduled
a hearing on Sept. 7 for approval of the explanatory disclosure
statement.  The Plan is designed to pay 2.5% to 6%
to unsecured creditors with claims totaling as much as $120
million. Unsecured creditors with $27 million in claims against
the holding company are projected to have a 3% dividend.


SOUTHERN STAR: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Senior Unsecured Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BBB-' corporate
credit rating on Southern Star Central Corp. (Central) and its
wholly owned operating subsidiary, Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline Inc. (Southern). The outlook is stable. "We also affirmed
Central's 'BB+' and Southern's 'BBB-' senior unsecured ratings,"
S&P said.

"Standard & Poor's ratings on Central reflect the company's
'excellent' business risk profile and 'aggressive' financial risk
profile (as our criteria define the terms). Central's revenues
come entirely from its wholly owned subsidiary, Southern, which
owns a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission-regulated interstate
natural gas pipeline system that has a mainline capacity of 2.4
billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas per day. The pipeline
supplies gas from Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Texas to its
primary markets in the major metropolitan areas of Kansas and
Missouri. The company also operates eight underground storage
facilities, with an aggregate capacity of 47 bcf and delivery
capacity of 1.26 bcf of natural gas per day," S&P said.

"Investment fund Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (MSIP; not
rated) owns 100% of Central. Our stand-alone analysis considers
the consolidated profile of Central and Southern and does not
factor in any implicit parent support. Most of Southern's cash
flow comes from firm transportation and storage agreements with
shippers, which provides stable and predictable cash flow," S&P
said.

"In our view, the demand-pull nature of the pipeline is positive
for credit quality and partially mitigates recontracting risk,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Nora Pickens.

"The stable rating outlook reflects Central's highly visible cash
flow supported by firm transportation agreements, and our
expectation that FFO to debt will remain between 12% and 14%. We
could raise the rating if the company strengthens its liquidity
and maintains FFO to debt greater than 18%, FFO interest coverage
of 3x, and total debt to EBITDA less than 4.0x. Conversely, we
could lower the rating if there is an unfavorable shift in
treatment by regulators or the company cannot recontract capacity
once contracts begin to roll off, such that FFO to debt is less
than 12%, FFO interest coverage is less than 2.0x, and debt to
EBITDA is greater than 5.0x for a sustained period," S&P said.

STOCKTON, CA: Bankruptcy to Go Under Microscope in January
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Sacramento, California,
will hold a trial beginning in January to determine whether the
city of Stockton is eligible for Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy.
The schedule was laid down at a hearing on Aug.24.

According to the report, for the California city to remain in
municipal bankruptcy, the judge must decide whether it is
insolvent, eligible for bankruptcy under state law, and negotiated
with creditors in good faith in advance of bankruptcy.

                      About Stockton, Calif.

The City of Stockton, California, filed a Chapter 9 petition
(Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 12-32118) in Sacramento on June 28,
2012, becoming the largest city to seek creditor protection in
U.S. history.  The city was forced to file for bankruptcy after
talks with bondholders and labor unions failed.  Stockton
estimated more than $1 billion in assets and in excess of $500
million in liabilities.

The city, with a population of about 300,000, identified the
California Public Employees Retirement System as the largest
unsecured creditor with a claim of $147.5 million for unfunded
pension costs.  In second place is Wells Fargo Bank NA as trustee
for $124.3 million in pension obligation bonds.  The list of
largest creditors includes $119.2 million owing on four other
series of bonds.

The city is being represented by Marc A. Levinson, Esq., at
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.  The petition was signed by
Robert Deis, city manager.

Mr. Levinson also represented the city of Vallejo, Calif. in its
2008 bankruptcy.  Vallejo filed for protection under Chapter 9
(Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 08-26813) on May 23, 2008, estimating
$500 million to $1 billion in assets and $100 million to $500
million in debts in its petition.  In August 2011, Vallejo was
given green light to exit the municipal reorganization.   The
Vallejo Chapter 9 plan restructures $50 million of publicly held
debt secured by leases on public buildings.  Although the Plan
doesn't affect pensions, it adjusts the claims and benefits of
current and former city employees.  Bankruptcy Judge Michael
McManus released Vallejo from bankruptcy on Nov. 1, 2011.


SYMS CORP: Creditors Object to Second Amended Ch. 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that an ad hoc committee of Class 4
Syms creditors filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court an objection
to the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of
Syms Corp. The committee asserts that, "the Plan does not provide
that Syms creditors will receive any interest on account of their
claims from the petition through the effective date. Accordingly,
the Plan violates Sections 726(a)(5) and (6) and 1129(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code."

                About Filene's Basement & Syms Corp.

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

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

Filene's Basement, Inc. and its affiliates filed for Chapter 22
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-11525) on May 4, 2009, represented by
lawyers at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP.  Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions serves as claims and notice agent.  The Debtors
disclosed assets of $236 million, including real estate of $97.7
million, and liabilities of $94 million, including $31.1 million
owing on a revolving credit with Bank of America NA as agent. In
addition, there were $11.1 million in letters of credit
outstanding on the revolver.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


SYNAGRO TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Cuts CFR to 'Caa3'; Outlook Neg.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has lowered the ratings of Synagro
Technologies, Inc., including the corporate family rating to Caa3
from Caa2. The rating outlook is negative.

Ratings:

Corporate Family Rating, to Caa3 from Caa2

Probability of Default Rating, to Caa3 from Caa2

$100 million first lien revolving credit facility due April 2013
to Caa2, LGD 3, 37% from Caa1, LGD 3, 37%

$290 million first lien term loan due April 2014, to Caa2 LGD 3,
37% from Caa1, LGD 3, 37%

$150 million second lien term loan due October 2014 to Ca, LGD
5, 86% from Caa3, LGD 5, 87%

Outlook, to Negative from Stable

Ratings Rationale

The Caa3 corporate family rating reflects very high financial
leverage against a material amount of near-term debt maturities
and weak liquidity. Synagro's revolving credit line expires in
about eight months and more than $70 million of borrowings exist
under the line, a substantial obligation in light of the company's
limited near-term cash flow prospects and an existing cash on hand
of only about $25 million. Likelihood of a financial ratio
covenant breach before the revolving credit line expires also
factors into the rating. Additionally, the April 2014 maturity on
the first lien term loan will likely prevent the company from
negotiating a material extension to its revolver in the absence of
a complete refinancing of the capital structure.

Impact of the Great Recession and soft U.S. economic growth since
2009 has left many municipalities fiscally constrained, lowering
spending levels on the wastewater treatment projects and related
services that ultimately drive Synagro's revenues and earnings.

The negative rating outlook considers a debt to revenue ratio
approaching 200% and a debt to EBITDA ratio approaching 10x
(Moody's adjusted basis), levels that make the capital structure
appear unsustainable. Further weakening the prospects for a
first/second lien refinancing to address the near-term maturities,
in Moody's view most of the company's operating income generation
stems from unrestricted project subsidiaries that do not guarantee
the first/second lien credit facilities of Synagro; restricted
group leverage metrics have historically been weaker than the
aforementioned fully consolidated leverage metrics. Pronounced
risk of a payment default, of a filing for protection under the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or of a financial restructuring that Moody's
would likely deem to be a distressed exchange drive the outlook.

The rating would be upgraded if the risk of a default in Moody's
view were to meaningfully lessen. The rating would be downgraded
if the probability of a default in Moody's view were to become a
certainty.

Synagro Technologies, Inc., based in Houston, Texas, is a recycler
of bio-solids and other organic residuals in the U.S. At June 30,
2012 trailing twelve month revenues were $318 million and the
total debt balance was $532 million. The company is majority-owned
by entities of The Carlyle Group.

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


SYSTEM ENERGY: Moody's Raises Sr. Unsec. Debt Rating From 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the senior unsecured debt of
System Energy Resources, Inc.(SERI) to Baa3 from Ba1. Concurrently
with this action, Moody's upgraded the secured lease obligation
bonds (SLOBs) to Baa2 from Baa3 and the first mortgage bonds
(FMBs) to Baa1 from Baa2.

"The 178 MW up-rate of the Grand Gulf nuclear unit licensed by the
NRC in July enhances the value of its energy and capacity to the
Entergy system, and the combined $874 million investment in the
unit demonstrates the strategic nature of SERI to Entergy and the
utilities that purchase its power," said Bill Hunter, Vice
President and Senior Analyst. "Although SERI is a single asset
nuclear power generator with some weaknesses in its contractual
arrangements, it has an investment grade profile based on a power
sales agreement that is regulated by FERC, a low cost of
production, good operating record, declining leverage, and very
strong financial metrics."

SERI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Entergy Corporation (Entergy,
Baa3 Senior Unsecured, stable outlook), has a 90% combined
ownership and leasehold interest in the Grand Gulf nuclear
generating station located in Port Gibson, Mississippi. Once SERI
completes testing on 178 MW up-rate that was completed in June
2012 and licensed in July 2012, Grand Gulf's net reliable capacity
is expected to be 1,249 MW, making it one of the largest nuclear
units in the US. SERI has filed with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) for a 20 year extension of Grand Gulf's license
from 2024 to 2044.

SERI's ratings reflect Grand Gulf's position as an attractive,
low-cost generating asset, its strategic importance to the Entergy
system as evidenced by its owners' recent $874 million up-rate
investment. The ratings further consider SERI's FERC-regulated
wholesale revenues that are generated under a US Supreme Court-
tested power sales agreement with four utility affiliates,
contractual support from the parent, a declining leverage profile
as the SLOBs amortize, and consistently strong financial metrics.
These credit strengths are balanced against SERI's asset
concentration in a single nuclear power plant; the operating,
regulatory and liability risks inherent to nuclear power; the fact
that Grand Gulf must remain in commercial operation for SERI to
earn any revenue under its main sales contract; and contractual
complexities in the support agreement from the parent, which
permit it to be terminated before the maturity of all of SERI's
bonds and render it decidedly less secure than a guarantee from a
creditor standpoint.

Under the Unit Power Sales Agreement (UPSA), SERI agreed to sell
all of its owned and leased share of capacity and energy from
Grand Gulf to the affiliated purchasers in accordance with the
specified percentages ordered by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) in June 1985. The purchasers pay for the
capacity and energy on a full cost-of-service basis irrespective
of the quantity of energy delivered so long as Grand Gulf remains
in commercial operation. The costs that SERI recovers in rates
include its operating costs, fuel leasing costs, depreciation and
accruals for plant de-commissioning and spent fuel disposal, as
well as capital costs on its net investment -- both incurred debt
costs and a return on equity (currently 10.94%). Monthly payments
under the UPSA have been SERI's only source of operating revenues.
The off-takers are of mixed credit quality - their ratings are 50%
Baa2, 33% Baa3 and 17% Ba2, and their obligations under the UPSA
are several, not joint. While the several nature of the
purchasers' obligations exposes creditors to the weakest off-
taker, comfort was gained by examining a sensitivity that
eliminated cost recovery in its entirety from the weakest obligor
(Entergy New Orleans, Inc., ENO, Ba2 Issuer Rating, stable), which
purchases 17% of SERI's capacity and energy. Moreover, this aspect
of the USPA was tested during the bankruptcy of ENO, during which
it obtained court approval to pay SERI for post-petition power
through the term of the bankruptcy case.

Entergy provides a level of support to SERI in the Capital Funds
Agreement (CFA), but the agreement can be terminated under certain
conditions. Entergy has agreed to supply SERI with sufficient
capital funds to (i) maintain SERI's ratio of
equity/capitalization (excluding short term debt from the
definition of capitalization) at a ratio of no less than 35%, (ii)
permit the continued commercial operation of Grand Gulf and (iii)
pay in full all indebtedness for borrowed money of SERI when due.
The performance by Entergy under the CFA is not conditioned on
Grand Gulf remaining in service. However, Entergy and SERI can
agree to amend or terminate the CFA provided they obtain the
consent of the banks providing the letters of credit (LCs) in
favor of the owner lessors for SERI's sale-leaseback transactions.
Although they currently expire in 2013, SERI is required to
maintain these LCs during the lease term. However, the lease will
expire in 2015 unless renewed. FMB-holders have pre-consented to
termination of the CFA, and consent by holders of SLOBs and
unsecured bonds is not required. While the CFA provides for a
relatively clear level of support while it remains in effect, the
treatment of tailored support agreements like the CFA in a
bankruptcy is much less tested than the treatment of guarantees.

While the CFA has structural weaknesses, Moody's believes there is
a high likelihood that Entergy would continue to manage SERI's
operations and finances in a manner supportive of its credit
profile even in the absence of the CFA. This expectation is based
on Grand Gulf's market position and its importance to the system,
recently fortified by the $874 million up-rate investment, which
was achieved with a minimal increase in total debt. SERI's value
to Entergy is also based on a history of consistently upstreaming
dividends - about $96 million on average from 2007-2011, which
includes a period of higher than normal capital spending relating
to the up-rate. Given SERI's likely net cash flow positive
position in future years and its regulatory framework, Moody's
believes it is unlikely that market dynamics could materially
alter SERI's value to Entergy. While an operational problem that
caused Grand Gulf to cease commercial operation would negatively
impact SERI's value to Entergy, Moody's considers this to be a low
probability event.

Moody's views the Availability Agreement (AVA) between SERI and
the purchasers as an important protection in the event that Grand
Gulf were no longer in commercial operation. Moody's views the AVA
as a secondary sales agreement that would only come into effect if
the revenues that SERI receives under the UPSA and any other sales
agreements do not cover SERI's operating expenses, including
depreciation, and interest and expenses incurred in a permanent
shut down of Grand Gulf. The revenues due under the UPSA have
always been greater than the revenues due under the AVA to date,
primarily because the AVA does not include a return on equity. The
AVA is thus untested, but, like the UPSA, it is regulated by FERC
(which would have to approve any rate schedule before SERI could
earn revenues under the agreement).

SERI's key cash flow metrics have been strong historically,
generally scoring in the low Aa range. SERI's stable cash flows
have enabled it to gradually amortize total debt from about $1.1
billion at 12/31/2004 to about $868 million at 12/31/2011, despite
paying dividends to Entergy that have generally exceeded net
income. Debt reduction will continue over the next several years
as the SLOBs fully amortize by the end of 2015. For 2007-2011,
cash from operations before changes in working capital (CFO Pre-
WC) averaged $316 million, generally ranging from about $295 to
$300 million, with one outlier of $387 million in 2009 year due to
a $120 million tax refund (SERI has a tax sharing agreement with
Entergy). For the 12 months ended 6/30/12, CFO Pre-WC + Interest /
Interest was 8.0x and CFO Pre-WC to Debt was 39.6%. SERI's debt
rose to $939 million at 6/30/12, but debt per KW of capacity
remains reasonably low at about $800/KW.

Issuer: System Energy Resources, Inc.

Ratings Upgraded:

Senior Unsecured Rating: to Baa3 from Ba1

First Mortgage Bonds: to Baa1 from Baa2

Senior Secured Lease Obligation Bonds: to Baa2 from Baa3

Senior Secured Shelf: to (P) Baa1 from (P) Baa2

Senior Unsecured Shelf: to (P) Baa3 from (P) Ba1

Outlook: Stable

SERI's rating outlook is stable, reflecting the consistently
strong cash flows that SERI generates under its FERC-regulated,
court-tested primary sales contract, and the stable outlooks of
the four purchasers.

SERI's ratings could be upgraded if the ratings of one or more of
the purchasers were upgraded, or if Entergy's ratings were
upgraded and the termination provisions of the Capital Funds
Agreement were modified in a manner favorable to all bondholders.

SERI's ratings could be downgraded if the ratings of one or more
of the purchasers were downgraded, if Grand Gulf ceased commercial
operation for any reason and recovery under the Availability
Agreement were materially delayed or challenged (a low-
probability, high-severity event that could lead to a multi-notch
downgrade), if contractual support from Entergy were made weaker,
if SERI's cost structure changed so materially that its long-term
value to the Entergy system were impaired, if dividends increased
significantly relative to cash flow on a sustained basis, if SERI
failed to receive a license renewal from the NRC and did not
reduce dividends to assure that all debt could be repaid within
the remaining license period, or if metrics declined
precipitously, such that CFO Pre-WC to Debt were below 16% and CFO
PRE-WC + Interest to Interest were below 3.3x, each on a sustained
basis.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Regulated
Electric and Gas Utilities published in August 2009.

UNIVERSAL CORP: S&P Affirms 'BB' Rating on Preferred Stock
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the 'BBB-' corporate
credit rating on Richmond, Va.-based Universal Corp., and revised
its outlook on the company to stable from negative. "We also
affirmed our 'BBB-' rating on the company's senior unsecured debt,
as well as our 'BB' rating on the company's preferred stock," S&P
said.

"Our affirmation of the ratings and outlook revision reflect our
expectation that the tobacco leaf company's operating performance
will remain steady in fiscal 2013," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Mark Salierno. "The industry supply outlook has improved
and market conditions appear to be somewhat better. Moreover, we
believe the company will continue to generate positive cash flow
and maintain EBITDA margins."

"The ratings on Universal are based on our view that the company
will continue to maintain a 'satisfactory' business risk profile
based on its strong market position within the tobacco leaf
industry, its established customer relationships, and good
geographic diversity. We continue to consider the company's
financial risk profile as 'intermediate,' based on its moderate
financial policy, adequate liquidity, and credit measures that we
believe will remain indicative of its financial risk profile," S&P
said.

"We expect the company will continue to maintain its solid market
position as one of the largest independent processors and
distributors of leaf tobacco," said Mr. Salierno.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2011, with
Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC, will terminate if the Company's
common stock is not listed on one of several specified trading
markets (which include the OTCBB and Pink Sheets, among others),
if the Company files protection from its creditors, or if a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 or S-3 is not effective.

If the price or the trading volume of the Company's common stock
does not reach certain levels, the Company will be unable to draw
down all or substantially all of its $3,000,000 equity line of
credit with Ascendiant.

The maximum draw down amount every 8 trading days under the
Company's equity line of credit facility is the lesser of $100,000
or 20% of the total trading volume of the Company's common stock
for the 10-trading-day period prior to the draw down multiplied by
the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock
for that period.  If the Company stock price and trading volume
decline from current levels, the Company will not be able to draw
down all $3,000,000 available under the equity line of credit.

"If we are not able to draw down all $3,000,000 available under
the equity line of credit or if the Securities Purchase Agreement

all or a portion of our business, or file for bankruptcy," the

WEYERHAEUSER CO: Fitch Retains 'BB+' Sr. Unsecured Debt Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'BB+' Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
and the 'BB+' senior unsecured debt ratings of Weyerhaeuser
Company (NYSE: WY, Weyerhaeuser).  The Rating Outlook is Stable.
The ratings are based on the prospective earnings of
Weyerhaeuser's business portfolio, free cash flow and the
company's liquidity profile which includes its non-core
timberlands.

A depressed homebuilding market continues to haunt Weyerhaeuser's
earnings, but a dramatic improvement in the fortunes of Wood
Products, Weyerhaeuser's business unit responsible for the
production of lumber, oriented strand board (OSB) and engineered
wood, are masked by consolidated year-to-date results which are
slightly lower than last year.  Both prices and volumes for lumber
and OSB are outpacing last year, and this business unit turned a
small profit for the first six months of 2012, versus an $86
million loss for the period in 2011.

At Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO), Weyerhaeuser's home
building unit, backlogs and buyer traffic are up while
cancellation rates are stable, but margins and sales prices are
somewhat lower due to mix.

Year-over-year results for the parent timberland REIT were on an
approximate par with last year excluding earnings from non-
strategic and higher and better use timberland sales. Domestic log
prices were lower in both the West and South, but harvest levels
were higher in both.  Weyerhaeuser's Cellulose Fibers business is
53% behind last year in operating earnings, primarily owing to
weaker pricing than the lofty pulp prices seen last year.

Free cash flow through the first six months of this year is a
negative $94 million after $161 million in earnings distributions.
Fitch projects free cash flow will turn positive by the end of the
year, however, approaching $200 million, assuming no increase in
the dividend and owing to lower working capital and better results
at both WRECO and Wood Products.  Net debt/EBITDA at the end of
2012 is expected to fall to 3.5 times (x), down from 4.1x at the
end of 2011 and 3.9x LTM EBITDA at June 30, 2012.

Cash balances have been falling steadily at Weyerhaeuser as the
company has been using cash and asset sales proceeds to support
debt payments and the dividend.  At June 30, 2012, the company had
$861 million in cash (down from $953 million at Dec. 31, 2011) but
with only around $180 million of debt coming due before the end of
this year and just over $400 million maturing in 2013.  Negligible
sums of debt mature between 2014 and 2016.

As a liquidity backstop, Weyerhaeuser has available an undrawn $1
billion revolver which it shares with WRECO and which matures in
2015.  Financial covenants in the revolver include minimum net
worth tests and maximum debt/total capital ratios for both
companies.  Weyerhaeuser and WRECO were comfortably in compliance
with these tests at the close of the second quarter.  Weyerhaeuser
also owns non-strategic timberlands, last reported at 480,000
acres, which could be sold.  A reasonable estimate of their value
could approach upwards of $1 billion.

Weyerhaeuser has a large unfunded pension obligation ($1.1
billion) and an aggressive investment strategy for its pension
assets, 87% of which were invested in private equity and hedge
funds as of Dec. 31, 2011.  The plan was roughly 81% funded at the
end of 2011.  The unfunded pension obligation is a rating concern
and could in isolation become an issue were the funded portion of
the plan to fall to 70%.

What Could Trigger A Rating Action?

Positive: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to a positive rating action include:

  -- Net debt/EBITDA falls below 3.0x and is sustained;
  -- Free cash flow (after dividends) remains positive, in
     concert with an improved earnings profile.

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

  -- Funded portion of the pension plan falls to 70% with the
     likelihood that total debt will have to increase.


* Moody's Says US Not-for-Profit Hospitals Prepare for Change
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's US not-for-profit hospital medians, based on fiscal year
(FY) 2011 data, show continued adjustment by hospitals to maintain
operating stability despite weakness in patient demand and as the
sector prepares for healthcare reform and federal deficit
pressures, says Moody's Investors Service in a new report.

"While median revenue growth showed an uptick to 5.3% in FY 2011,
it remained low by historical standards, and will likely fall
again in coming years due to tightening federal funding," said
Moody's AVP-Analyst Sarah Vennekotter, author of the report, "U.S.
Not-for-Profit Hospital Medians Show Operating Stability Despite
Flat Inpatient Volumes and Shift to Government Payers."

Inpatient volumes have been entrenched since the financial crisis
of 2008-09 and have remained weak due to continuing high
unemployment and cutbacks in employer insurance. They showed no
growth for the third consecutive year while Medicare, Medicaid,
and self-pay revenues increased, reports Moody's.

"This is an ominous combination for the not-for-profit hospital
industry due to the lower reimbursement rates from these payers,"
said Ms. Vennekotter. "Despite these weak indicators, the sector's
median operating margin and operating cash flow margin remained
stable in FY 2011."

Balance sheet measures improved in FY 2011, and most providers'
cash and investments portfolios remained highly liquid. But weak
equity returns over the last 12 months means balance sheets are
stagnating for most hospitals.

"For FY 2013 and beyond, we expect lower payments for inpatient
procedure from all payers and a continued shift to outpatient
modalities as healthcare reform rewards hospitals that operate
more efficiently and deliver high-quality care," said Ms.
Vennekotter. "Reimbursement changes under reform and looming
federal deficits will inevitably result in more Medicare and
Medicaid reductions to hospitals on a per-patient basis."

Also, she said, margins are likely to soften due to losses on
physician employment strategies, and the continuous pressure on
revenues, prompting hospital management teams to continue to focus
on expense reductions.

In FY 2011, the median expense growth rate of 5.0% created some
distance from the 5.3% revenue growth rate of FY 2010 when revenue
and expense growth rates were nearly identical at 4.2% and 4.1%,
respectively, according to Moody's.

"Expense reductions will remain a major focus as hospitals prepare
for weaker revenue growth and further changes to federal policies
and regulations in coming years," said Ms. Vennekotter.


* Moody's Says US Midwest Droughts to Result in Insurer Losses
--------------------------------------------------------------
Record-setting droughts in the US Midwest throughout 2012 are
likely to result in substantial gross insured losses for US crop
insurers and reinsurers, says Moody's Investors Service in its new
special comment, "US Crop Insurance: Sector Profile."

"Although a significant portion of the loss will be borne by the
US government through its crop reinsurance program and by farmers,
crop insurers and reinsurers could experience their first overall
loss for the sector since the droughts of 2002," says Alan Murray,
a Moody's Senior Vice President. "Results for each insurer are
likely to vary significantly, however, depending on product and
geographic mix, as well as reinsurance programs."

Looking at longer term trends, Moody's says that ongoing expense
reimbursement reductions by the US government to insurers have
contributed to industry consolidation. The top five crop insurers
-- all national underwriters -- now account for approximately two-
thirds of direct premiums written. Market leaders are likely to
benefit from competitive barriers to entry in the sector, as well
as certain technological, business and geographic diversity
advantages, which should enable them to sustain profitability.
Conversely, smaller, more agriculture-focused and regionally
concentrated insurers may face considerably greater near-term
strain as a result of drought-related losses.

The still-pending 2012 Farm Bill and pressures on the federal
budget are likely to further reduce direct government subsidies to
the agricultural community, says Moody's. That should further
promote the use of commercial crop insurance, although the drought
may delay uptake or lead to modification of competing proposals
currently under consideration by Congress.

Agricultural producers, including farmers and ranchers, purchase
crop insurance to protect against the loss of their crops because
of natural disasters such as hail, drought and floods and/or the
loss of revenue owing to a combination of variability in crop
yield and agricultural commodities prices.


* S&P 2012 Corporate Default Tally of 53 Matches Last Year's
------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier last week, the 2012 global corporate default tally
increased to 53 -- the same count as the full-year 2011 total --
after Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate
credit rating on U.S. long-term acute care hospital operator
LifeCare Holdings Inc. to 'D', said an article published Aug. 23
by Standard & Poor's Global Fixed Income Research, titled "The
2012 Global Corporate Default Count Now Matches the Year-End 2011
Total."

The rating action followed the company's missed interest payment
on its $119.3 million outstanding senior subordinated notes. By
region, 29 of the 53 defaulters were based in the U.S., 14 in the
emerging markets, seven in Europe, and three in the other
developed region (Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand).  In
comparison, the 2011 total (through Aug. 22) was 27, with 18 based
in the U.S., two in the emerging markets, two in Europe, and five
in the other developed region.

So far this year, bankruptcy filings accounted for 15 defaults,
missed payments for 15; distressed exchanges for 10, and eight
were confidential.  The remaining five entities defaulted for
various other reasons. In 2011, 21 issuers defaulted because of
missed interest or principal payments, and 13 because of
bankruptcy filings -- both of which were among the top reasons for
defaults in 2010.  Distressed exchanges -- another top reason for
default in 2010 -- followed with 11 defaults in 2011.  Of the
remaining defaults, two issuers failed to finalize refinancing on
bank loans, two were subject to regulatory action, one had its
banking license revoked by its country's central bank, one was
appointed a receiver, and two were confidential.


* Florida Shooting Neither Criminal Nor Nondischargeable
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that in Florida, shooting an unarmed person didn't result
in a non-dischargeable debt and didn't even result in a criminal
prosecution.

In 2006 when an unarmed man walking his dog was shot by a neighbor
with a .38 revolver and then pistol whipped.  The injured man sued
in state court and received a $421,000 judgment when the shooter
didn't appear.  When the shooter filed for bankruptcy, the dog
walker filed papers contending the judgment should survive
bankruptcy as a willful and malicious injury.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
affirmed a ruling by the bankruptcy court and said that the only
issue is whether the shooting was malicious.  An investigating
police officer held the opinion that the shooting was in self-
defense, even though a weapon was never found on the victim.
Judge Marra concluded that the bankruptcy judge didn't commit
error in finding no malice based on the officer's testimony.  It
was also significant that there was no criminal prosecution for
the shooting, Judge Marra said.

The case is Gagnon v. Fortner (In re Fortner), 12-60478,
U.S. District Court, Southern District Florida (Fort Lauderdale).


* Simultaneous Bankruptcies Not Automatically Barred
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a district judge in Maryland ruled in July that so
long as an individual bankrupt has received a Chapter 7 discharge,
there is no automatic bar preventing the individual from filing a
Chapter 13 petition, even if the Chapter 7 case hasn't been
closed.  U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis in Baltimore
reversed a bankruptcy court decision and said the "majority" of
courts don't permit so-called simultaneous bankruptcies.  The case
is Sood v. Business Lenders LLC, 11-2528, U.S. District Court,
District of Maryland (Baltimore).

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

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

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

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

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
