4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT: Court Approves Chikol Equities as Advisor
--------------------------------------------------------------
4Kids Entertainment, Inc., and its affiliated debtors sought and
obtained approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to employ Chikol
Equities, Inc., as financial and restructuring advisor.

The firm will, among other things:

  (a) review management's current and future projections as to
      earnings and cash flow;

  (b) review historical results against prior budgets and business
      plans as illustrated by the reviewed management group and
      plan; and

  (c) review how the planned revenue and margin assumptions are
      impacted by volume, price, location and mix.

The Debtors are authorized to make payments to Chikol for
compensation and reimbursement of expenses as set out in the
engagement letter; provided, however, that a $10,000 retainer
provided to the firm will be subject to disgorgement in accordance
with the Bankruptcy Code.

                   Asset Sale & Liquidation Plan

In January 2012, the bankruptcy judge ruled in favor of 4Kids,
deciding that the Yu-Gi-Oh! property license agreement between the
Debtor and the licensor was not effectively terminated prior to
the bankruptcy filing.  Following the ruling, 4Kids entered into a
settlement where it would receive $8 million to end the dispute
over its valuable Yu-Gi-Oh! Property.

In June 2012, the Debtor obtained approval to sell the business
for $15 million to two buyers.  An affiliate of Tokyo-based Konami
Corp. purchased the licenses for the Yu-Gi-Oh! animated television
programs.  Kidsco Media Venture LLC, affiliated with Saban Capital
Group Inc., bought the programming agreement with the CW Network
LLC.  The eventual sale represented a $3.2 million improvement
over the $11.8 million bid Saban made for all the assets at
auction.

On Oct. 5, 4Kids filed a liquidation plan and disclosure statement
that will govern the distribution of the sale proceeds to
creditors.  There's a hearing Oct. 30, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. to
consider approval of the disclosure statement explaining the Plan.

The Plan contemplates, generally:

    * Payment in full, in cash, of administrative claims estimated
      to total $4.11 million, priority claims totaling $6,000,
      secured claims, other priority claims and general unsecured
      claims totaling $6.25 million;

    * Preservation of the parent's common stock;

    * Simplification of 4Kids' organizational chart, including the
      dissolution of certain Debtors;

    * Reinstatement of certain intercompany claims and certain
      intercompany interests; and

    * Discharge of all other claims without recovery and
      cancellation of all other interests.

Chikol Equities, Inc., the restructuring advisor, estimates the
Reorganized Debtors' enterprise value to be between $9.0 million
(or $0.65 per share) to $10.1 million (or $0.74 per share), with a
midpoint of $9.5 million (or $0.69 per share) as of Oct. 4, 2012.
Holders of 13,714,992 shares outstanding issued by 4Kids will
recover $0.69 per share under the Plan, compared with $0.24 per
share in a Chapter 7 liquidation.

According to Bloomberg News, Dec. 13 is the projected date for the
hearing to confirm the plan.

4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT: Court OKs Pepper Hamilton as Tax Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
4Kids Entertainment, Inc., and its affiliates sought and obtained
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to Pepper Hamilton LLP and
its affiliated law practice entities as special tax counsel.

Todd Reinstein, a member of Pepper Hamilton, attests that the firm
is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Tucker, Georgia-based A&S Group, Inc., aka A&S Marbel and Granite

12-72662) in Atlanta, on Sept. 9, 2012.  The Debtor is an importer

natural stone products, most of which are used for wall and floor

regional and national retailers, home centers, developers and
retailers.

Judge Wendy L. Hagenau oversees the case.  The Law Office of A.
Keith Logue, Esq., serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The Debtor
estimated assets and debts of $10 million to $50 million.  The
petition was signed by Sami Durukan, president.


A123 SYSTEMS: Electic Car Battery Maker Files Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------
A123 Systems Inc., a maker of electric car batteries, sought
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 16 in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Wilmington, Delaware, armed with a deal to sell its auto-
business assets to Johnson Controls Inc.  The deal with JCI is
valued at $125 million, and subject to higher offers at a
bankruptcy auction.

WSJ also relates JCI is providing A123 with $72.5 million of
debtor-in-possession financing.

Patrick Fitzgerald, Mike Ramsey, Mike Spector and Ryan Tracy,
writing for The Wall Street Journal, report that A123 scrapped a
plan to sell an 80% stake to Chinese auto-parts maker Wanxiang
Group Corp.  That deal had encountered opposition from U.S.
lawmakers concerned about the transfer of American taxpayer
dollars and technology to China.

WSJ notes a sale to JCI won't need approval from the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States.

According to WSJ, A123 Systems received a federal grant of $249
million from the Obama administration and $358 million in start-up
funding.  WSJ also notes A123 raised about $380 million in a 2009
initial public offering.

WSJ also reports A123, while in bankruptcy, plans to continue
running units that make batteries for power tools, electric
utilities and government and defense applications and seek buyers
for them.

WSJ says A123's bankruptcy provides fodder for Republican
presidential challenger Mitt Romney to continue attacking the
president for his financial support of renewable-energy firms.

"In an emerging industry, it's very common to see some firms
consolidate with others as the industry grows and matures," Dan
Leistikow, the Department of Energy's director of public affairs,
wrote in a blog post Tuesday, according to the report.

WSJ also relates Pin Ni, Wanxiang America's president, said the
company's "goal and interest" in the battery maker "remains the
same."

A source close to the case told WSJ that while the bankruptcy
filing caught some by surprise, its political ramifications were
on the minds of those close to the company but more of an
"unspoken" concern and not discussed explicitly in meetings.  That
person told WSJ A123 and its advisers didn't discuss trying to
delay the filing because of Tuesday night's presidential debate or
any other political considerations.  The person also said that, in
the end, A123 had to file when it did because a $2.8 million debt
payment came due Tuesday and it was running low on cash, this
person said.  Had the company waited, it would have risked not
having enough cash to run an auction and possibly need to
liquidate, the person said.

According to WSJ, Dan Borgasano, a spokesman for A123, said the
agreement with Wanxiang required approval from CFIUS but declined
to provide any further details related to that review.

WSJ recounts that A123 in August entered into a $75 million loan
deal with the U.S. unit of Wanxiang Group as part of a proposed
$465 million investment deal.  But because certain closing
conditions, including A123's liquidity falling below operational
levels, didn't occur, only $22.5 million of the loan amount has
been funded.

On Oct. 9, the report continues, Sens. Charles Grassely (R, Iowa)
and John Thune (R, S.D.) wrote to A123, asking for information
about the deal with Wanxiang and whether any U.S. companies
expressed interest investing in the company.

Kate Linebaugh, writing for WSJ's Corporate Intelligence, says
among the losers in A123's Chapter 11 filing is General Electric.
According to Ms. Linebaugh, GE made seven investments in A123
before its 2009 IPO, totaling $70 million, and GE's research head
Mark Little sits on A123's board.  GE Asset Management Inc. is
listed as the company's second biggest holder, with a 4.32% stake,
according to LionShares.com.

Ms. Linebaugh says GE declined to comment on the bankruptcy filing
Tuesday.  In April 2009, at the time of GE's seventh investment in
A123, GE CEO Jeff Immelt commended A123 for its technical and
engineering breakthroughs in adapting lithium ion technology to
commercial applications.

According to Ms. Linebaugh, GE's investment in A123 stock will
likely be wiped out in the bankruptcy process.  As A123 noted in a
regulatory filing: "Typically, the common stock of a company in
Chapter 11 is cancelled upon its emergence from the reorganization
process and stockholders usually receive no value for any common
stock they still hold at that time."

Ms. Linebaugh says the loss isn't meaningful for GE, which
reported $147 billion in revenue last year, but it does bring
another dose of reality to GE's "Ecomagination" initiative to
develop environmentally friendly products and services.

Creditor Alex Kontos Fruit Company, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Alabama to dismiss or convert
Adams Produce Company, LLC's Chapter 11 case to one under Chapter
7 of the Bankruptcy Code because there is continuing loss to and
diminution of the estate.  In addition, there is no reasonable
likelihood that the Debtor's operations can be rehabilitated, the
Debtor claims.

According to Alex Kontos, the Debtors' cessation of operations
effectively and completely forestalls any reorganization as a
going concern and provides the additional proof needed to support
a conversion or dismissal for cause.  In addition, Alex Kontos
says there really are no unusual circumstances present to warrant
this case remaining a case under Chapter 11.

"At this point it is becoming increasingly doubtful that there
will be any payout to the unsecureds.  To continue down this path
will only serve to increase administrative expenses without any
real benefit to anyone other than the professionals hired in this
case."

employee retention plan.

The Court also authorized the Debtors to file documents in

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 26, 2012, the retention plan
covers 79 key non-insider employees that work for various of the
Debtor entities in both the U.S. and Canada.  Participants in the
Retention Plan will receive a lump sum bonus payment equivalent to
15% of such participant's annual base salary to the extent that
each participant remains in the Debtors' employ (a) through and
including the Effective Date of a Chapter 11 Plan, or (b) the
participant incurs a "qualifying termination of employment" prior
to that time.  A qualifying termination of employment includes by
reason of the death or disability of the participant, by reason of
a Partial Sale of the Debtors' business or a termination of the
participant's employment without cause.  The Debtors estimate that

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Extends 1% Capacity Cut to Nov. 14
-----------------------------------------------------
American Airlines Inc. said its 1% reduction in capacity will be
extended through the first 14 days of November because its on-
time arrival rate has not improved enough, according to an
October 11 report by Bloomberg News.

Based on a daily schedule of 3,500 flights, the cuts mean the
elimination of about 35 trips a day.

American Airlines initially trimmed flight and seat capacity by
1% to 2% in mid-September through October as its on-time arrival
rate tumbled to less than 50%.  The delays occurred after the
airline imposed concessions on pilots and began notifying
mechanics of layoffs, Bloomberg reported.

ANDERSON NEWS: Time, Others Warn Supreme Court of Twiqbal Threat
----------------------------------------------------------------
Max Stendahl at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that magazine publishers
including Time Inc. asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to
overturn an appeals court ruling that kept alive a bankrupt
wholesaler's antitrust suit, arguing the decision threatens to
unravel tougher pleading standards in the landmark Twombly and
Iqbal cases.

The publishing companies said in a petition that the Supreme Court
should hear the case, which alleges they hatched an illegal plan
to drive Anderson News LLC out of business, Bankruptcy Law360
relays.

                        About Anderson News

Anderson News LLC is a sales and marketing company for books and
magazines.  Anderson News ceased doing business in February 2009,
and was the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy filing (Bankr. D.
Del. 09-_____) on March 2, 2009, on which an order for relief was
entered on Dec. 30, 2009.  The publishing companies claimed that
Anderson News owes them a combined $37.5 million.  Anderson News
converted the case to a voluntary chapter 11 case on the same day.


ARCAPITA BANK: Creditors' Committee May File Plan After Dec. 15
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Arcapita Bank BSC creditors' committee tied the
Bahrainian investment bank up in knots over the timing and method
for emerging from the Chapter 11 reorganization begun in March.

According to the report, to move ahead with a reorganization plan
based on a new equity investment, Arcapita must locate a new
investor who deposits $250 million in cash or letter of credit by
Nov. 1.  Absent the required deposit, an order signed by the
Manhattan bankruptcy judge on Oct. 12 requires Arcapita to abandon
the idea of reorganization and negotiate exclusively with the
official creditors' committee on a plan entailing "an orderly
wind-down of their businesses and assets."

The report relates that the order by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean H.
Lane requires using at least 75% of the $250 million for
distribution to unsecured creditors under a Chapter 11 plan.

The report notes that regardless of whether Arcapita obtains the
$250 million, the exclusive right to file a plan will end on
Dec. 15.  Although the committee could file a plan after Dec. 15,
Arcapita will have the exclusive right to solicit acceptances
until Feb. 12.  Arcapita can seek an extension of the Feb. 12
deadline.  Before the dispute over exclusivity, Arcapita promised
to file a plan by mid-December containing alternatives with a
preferred exit from bankruptcy via a new equity investment.

According to Bloomberg, otherwise, Arcapita said the plan would
provide for what the bank calls a "managed disposition and
distribution of the debtors' assets."

                        About Arcapita Bank

Arcapita Bank B.S.C., also known as First Islamic Investment Bank
B.S.C., along with affiliates, filed for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-11076) in Manhattan on
March 19, 2012.  The Debtors said they do not have the liquidity
necessary to repay a US$1.1 billion syndicated unsecured facility
when it comes due on March 28, 2012.

Falcon Gas Storage Company, Inc., later filed a Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-11790) on April 30, 2012.
Falcon Gas is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Arcapita
that previously owned the natural gas storage business NorTex Gas
Storage Company LLC.  In early 2010, Alinda Natural Gas Storage
I, L.P. (n/k/a Tide Natural Gas Storage I, L.P.), Alinda Natural
Gas Storage II, L.P. (n/k/a Tide Natural Gas Storage II, L.P.)
acquired the stock of NorTex from Falcon Gas for $515 million.
Arcapita guaranteed certain of Falcon Gas' obligations under the
NorTex Purchase Agreement.

The Debtors tapped Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP as bankruptcy
counsel, Linklaters LLP as corporate counsel, Towers & Hamlins
LLP as international counsel on Bahrain matters, Hatim S Zu'bi &
Partners as Bahrain counsel, KPMG LLP as accountants, Rothschild
Inc. and financial advisor, and GCG Inc. as notice and claims
agent.

Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP represents the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc.,
serves as its financial advisor and investment banker.

Founded in 1996, Arcapita is a global manager of Shari'ah-
compliant alternative investments and operates as an investment
bank.  Arcapita is not a domestic bank licensed in the United
States.  Arcapita is headquartered in Bahrain and is regulated
under an Islamic wholesale banking license issued by the Central

The Arcapita Group has roughly US$7 billion in assets under
management.  On a consolidated basis, the Arcapita Group owns
assets valued at roughly US$3.06 billion and has liabilities of
roughly US$2.55 billion.  The Debtors owe US$96.7 million under
two secured facilities made available by Standard Chartered Bank.

Arcapita explored out-of-court restructuring scenarios but was
unable to achieve 100% lender consent required to effectuate the
terms of an out-of-court restructuring.

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

Schedule D identifies a judgment lien against the property held by
Bank of America to secure a $6 million claim scheduled by the
Debtor as a non-contingent, liquidated, and undisputed held by

$7.4 million.


BAKERS FOOTWEAR: Hiring Bryan Cave as Restructuring Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bakers Footwear Group, Inc., filed papers in Court seeking formal
approval to employ Bryan Cave LLP as its general restructuring
counsel, as well as to provide advice and counsel regarding
corporate, employment, employee benefits, finance, real estate,
securities, tax, and other matters.

Bryan Cave has represented the Debtor for more than 10 years as
its outside general corporate and securities counsel.  Bryan Cave
also represented the Debtor in connection with its recent secured
financing facility provided by the Debtor's lender, Crystal
Financial LLC.

"Little purpose would be served, and unnecessary expense,
duplication of effort, and delay would undoubtedly result, if
substitute counsel were retained to address issues previously
handled by Bryan Cave," said Peter A. Edison, the Debtor's
Chairman and CEO.

Brian C. Walsh, Esq., a partner at the firm, attests that Bryan
Cave does not hold or represent any interest adverse to the
Debtor's estate; Bryan Cave is a "disinterested person" as that
phrase is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as
modified by Section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; and Bryan
Cave's employment is necessary and in the best interests of the
Debtor's estate.

Other Bryan Cave lawyers who will be working on the case are David
M. Unseth, Esq,. and Laura Uberti Hughes, Esq., from the law
firm's St. Louis, Missouri offices.

On Oct. 5, the Court issued a temporary order approving the firm's
engagement.  There's a final hearing Oct. 31 on the Debtor's
employment request.

Hourly rates for Bryan Cave's professionals based in St. Louis,
which are subject to adjustment from time to time, presently are:

         Partners and Counsel     $390 to $785 per hour
         Associates               $200 to $420 per hour
         Legal Assistants         $150 to $250 per hour

Bryan Cave received a $275,000 retainer from the Debtor in several
installments, beginning on Aug. 23, 2012.  Prior to the Chapter 11
filing, Bryan Cave applied the retainer against invoices for
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred on or after the date on
which Bryan Cave received the first retainer installment.  Bryan
Cave also received an additional retainer of $400,000 from the
Debtor on Occt. 2.  Bryan Cave will hold these funds in its client
trust account as security for the fees and expenses that may be
awarded to it in this case.

From Oct. 1, 2011, through the Petition Date, Bryan Cave received
$418,490.10 in payment of professional fees and expenses provided
by Bryan Cave to the Debtor.  Of this amount, $225,253.85 was paid
for services rendered or to be rendered in contemplation of or in
connection with the Chapter 11 case.

As of the Petition Date, Bryan Cave was owed $335,067.81 by the
Debtor for attorneys' fees and expenses incurred before Aug. 23,
2012, the date on which Bryan Cave received the first retainer
installment from the Debtor, and $16,875.53 for attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred on or after Aug. 23, 2012 that were not
covered by Bryan Cave's $275,000 retainer.

Bryan Cave has agreed to waive its claim against the Debtor for
attorneys' fees and expenses that were incurred and unpaid as of
the Petition Date.

No. 12-49658) in St. Louis on Oct. 3, 2012, after announcing a
plan to close stores and reduce costs.

Bakers was founded in St. Louis in 1926 as Weiss-Kraemer, Inc.,
later renamed Weiss and Neuman Shoe Co., a regional chain of

served in various senior management positions at Edison Brothers
Stores Inc.  In June 1999, Bakers purchased selected assets of the
"Bakers" and "Wild Pair" footwear retailing chains from the
bankruptcy estate of Edison Brothers.  The "Bakers" footwear
retailing chain was founded in 1924 and is the third-oldest soft
goods retail concept still in operation in the United States.

In February 2001, the Debtor changed its name to Bakers Footwear
Group, Inc.  In February 2004, Bakers conducted an initial public
offering of its common stock.  Bakers' common stock is quoted
under the ticker symbol "BKRS" on the, the OTC Markets Group's

BAKERS FOOTWEAR: Can Tap Donlin Recano as Claims & Noticing Agent
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bakers Footwear Group, Inc., won Bankruptcy Court authority to
employ Donlin, Recano & Company, Inc., as its claims, noticing,
and balloting agent.

Prior to the Chapter 11 filing, the Debtor paid DRC a $15,000
retainer.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 156(c), the Court is authorized to
utilize facilities other than the Clerk's Office for the
administration of bankruptcy cases, including such matters as
giving notice of hearings and orders filed in the Chapter 11 case,
the meeting of creditors pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy
Code and claims bar dates, and providing record keeping and claims
docketing assistance.

In addition, under Bankruptcy Rule 2002(f), the Court may direct
that a person other than the Clerk of the Court give notice of the
various matters described therein.  Thus, pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 2002(f), the Debtor believes it is necessary and in the best
interests of its creditors and estate to engage DRC to act as
outside agent to the Clerk's Office in order to assume full
responsibility for, among other things, distribution of notices
and proof of claim forms in the Chapter 11 case.  In addition, in
connection with any plan proposed by the Debtor, the Debtor has
determined that it will require the services of DRC to act as
solicitation agent with respect to, inter alia, the mailing of the
Debtor's disclosure statement, the plan and ballots and
maintaining and tallying ballots in connection with the voting on
such plan.

The Debtor anticipates that there will be thousands of individuals
and entities that the Debtor will be required to serve with the
various notices, pleadings, and other documents filed in this
Chapter 11 case.  In consideration of the number of anticipated
claimants and other parties-in-interest, the Debtor said the
appointment of DRC will expedite the distribution of notices and
relieve the Clerk's Office of the administrative burden of
processing such notices.

Colleen McCormick, Chief Operations Officer of DRC, said DRC is
not connected with the Debtor, its creditors, the Office of the
United States Trustee for the Eastern District of Missouri, or any
person employed by the Office of the United States Trustee for the
Eastern District of Missouri.  DRC represented to the Debtor that
it neither holds nor represents any interest adverse to the
Debtor's estate on matters for which it is to be retained or
employed and that it is a "disinterested person" as referenced in
Section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and as defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by Section 1107(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Trustee Asks Bankr. Judge to Decide on Interest
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that whether customers of Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities Inc. have their claims increased to reflect how long
they invested in the Ponzi scheme is a process that formally began
at the end of last week.

According to the report, Madoff trustee Irving Picard filed papers
on Oct. 12 asking the U.S. bankruptcy judge to rule that customer
claims are strictly a function of cash invested less cash taken
out, without any adjustment for interest or the length of time
someone was a Madoff investor.  Some customers have been arguing
since the liquidation began in 2008 that the cash in-cash out
method disadvantages customers who invested the longest.

The report relates that the U.S. Court of Appeals previously
upheld Mr. Picard's calculation methodology pegging a customer's
claim to cash in less cash taken out.  The appeals court left the
lower courts to decide later if there should be an adjustment for
time-value of money.  Under a schedule laid down in early
September by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R. Lifland, customers
wanting interest on their claims must file papers by Nov. 12.  Mr.
Picard can serve another set of papers by Dec. 18.  Judge Lifland
will hold a hearing on Jan. 10.

The report notes that U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff decided
several times already that the interest question won't be taken
away from Judge Lifland.  Mr. Picard said in his papers that the
"plain language" of the Securities Investor Protection Act doesn't
allow inclusion of an interest factor on customer claims.  Mr.
Picard left open the possibility that customers might have general
unsecured claims for interest, fraud and misrepresentation if
so-called customer claims are fully paid.  The Madoff trustee
explained in his papers how allowing interest on customer claims
would hurt so-called net losers who took out less than they
invested.  Allowing interest would take money out of their pockets
for the benefit of so-called net winners who managed to take out
more than they invested, Mr. Picard said in his court filing.

                      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: Attorney General Makes Last Pitch to Judge
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman made his
last pitch for U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff to rule on whether
the federal district court or the bankruptcy court is the proper
forum for deciding whether the trustee for Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC is entitled to stop a settlement with
principals for one of Madoff's main feeder funds.

According to the report, in papers filed Oct. 11, Mr. Schneiderman
said it would be "unprecedented for a federal court to enjoin the
settlement of claims by a state law enforcement agency against
non-debtors."  Madoff trustee Irving Picard sued Mr. Schneiderman
in bankruptcy court on Aug. 1 contending that New York State's top
lawyer is recovering on claims that belong to all Madoff
customers.  Mr. Schneiderman responded by seeking to have the
lawsuit transferred U.S. District Court.

The report relates that Judge Rakoff took the dispute under his
wing, similar to hundreds of other lawsuits where he has typically
ended up ruling that all or part of the suits are beyond the
competence of a bankruptcy judge.  Mr. Picard is attempting to
stop Mr. Schneiderman from completing a $410 million settlement
with a Madoff feeder-fund manager named J. Ezra Merkin.  Judge
Rakoff initially won't reach the merits of the dispute.  He first
will decide whether the suit to stop the settlement should be in
bankruptcy court or district court.  Mr. Picard is suing
Mr. Merkin for more than $500 million.  If Mr. Schneiderman is
allowed to settle, Mr. Picard contends Merkin won't have money
left to pay his claims.  Whether Mr. Picard wins ultimately will
decide who receives the $410 million from Mr. Merkin.

The report notes that if Mr. Picard prevails, he will distribute
the funds to Madoff customers, likely not including Mr. Merkin's
own investors.  The attorney general, on the other hand, earmarks
most of the $410 million for Mr. Merkin's customers.

The dispute with Schneiderman in district Court is Picard v.
Schneiderman, 12-01778, U.S. District Court, Southern District New
York (Manhattan).  The lawsuit with Schneiderman in bankruptcy
court is Picard v. Schneiderman, 12-01778, U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

BOISE CASCADE: Moody's Raises CFR to 'B1'; Rates Sr. Notes 'B2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Boise Cascade, LLC's (Boise
Cascade) proposed $250 million senior unsecured notes due 2020 a
B2 rating and upgraded the company's corporate family rating (CFR)
to B1 from B2, and the company's liquidity rating to SGL-2 from
SGL-3. The rating outlook is stable. "The upgrade reflects a
significant improvement in the company's debt maturity profile,
liquidity position and Moody's expectation of stronger financial
performance in-line with a gradual improvement in the US housing
market", said Ed Sustar, Moody's lead analyst for Boise Cascade.

Issuer: Boise Cascade, LLC

  Upgrades:

     Probability of Default Rating, Upgraded to B1 from B2

     Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Upgraded to SGL-2 from
     SGL-3

     Corporate Family Rating, Upgraded to B1 from B2

  Assignments:

     US$250M Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned B2

     US$250M Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned a
     range of LGD5, 72 %

Boise Cascade intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to
repay its remaining $145 million of subordinated notes (rated
Caa1) due 2014 and retain the remainder as cash on hand for
general corporate purposes. The proposed notes will be guaranteed
by the same operating subsidiaries that guarantee the company's
recently upsized $300 million senior secured asset base revolving
credit facility (unrated). The B2 rating on the proposed $250
million senior unsecured notes are a notch below the assigned CFR,
reflecting the note holders' unsecured position behind the secured
revolving credit facility. The rating on the company's
subordinated notes will be withdrawn following their repayment.
All the ratings are subject to the conclusion of the proposed
transaction and Moody's review of final documentation.

Ratings Rationale

The CFR upgrade to B1 reflects Boise Cascades' good liquidity
position and expectations that the company will be able to
maintain adequate credit protection metrics with a gradual
recovery in the wood-based building products market. The rating
also reflects the company's strong market position as a building
material distributor and wood products producer in North America.
Credit challenges include the lack of diversification and the
inherent volatility and fragmentation of the wood products
industry.

Boise Cascade's good liquidity position and expectations that the
company will be able to maintain adequate credit protection
metrics with a gradual recovery in the wood-based building
products market. Including Moody's standard adjustments for items
such as operating leases and pensions, financial leverage
(adjusted debt / EBITDA) is expected to be around 5 to 5.5 times
over the next 12 to 18 months. The rating also reflects the
company's strong market position as a building material
distributor and wood products producer in North America. Credit
challenges include the lack of diversification and the inherent
volatility and fragmentation of the wood products industry.

The upgrade in the liquidity rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3 reflects
Boise Cascade's improved liquidity profile, characterized by its
recently upsized asset based revolving credit facility (increased
to $300 million from $250 million in September 2012) and stronger
cash position. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date
of July 2016 provided that the subordinated notes have been repaid
prior to July 2014. Proforma for the October 15, 2012 redemption
of $75 million of the subordinated notes and repayment of the
remaining subordinated notes with the proposed $250 senior
unsecured note offering, Moody's estimates the company's cash
position will increase to approximately $300 million for the
quarter ending September 2012 and the company will have about $225
million of availability (net of $12 million in letters of credit )
under its revolving credit facility. With the anticipated
improvement in the housing market, Moody's estimates Boise
Cascade's will consume about $20 million of cash over the next 12
months primarily a result of an increase in working capital. Most
of the company's fixed assets are unencumbered and Moody's expects
the company will remain in compliance with its debt covenants.
Following the refinancing, the company will not have any near-term
debt maturities.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation of an improvement
in demand, as the US housing market slowly recovers, This is
tempered by Moody's uncertainty regarding mills that may come back
on-stream in this fragmented industry. The company could face a
potential pullback in wood product prices and earnings if industry
supply returns faster than demand. The rating could be lowered if
the company's liquidity deteriorates significantly or if
normalized financial leverage exceeds 6 times for a sustained
period of time. An upgrade would depend on a sustained improvement
in the company's financial performance. Quantitatively, this could
result if normalized financial leverage remains below 4.5 times
and interest coverage exceeds 3 times.

The principal methodology used in rating Boise Cascade was the
Global Paper and Forest Products Industry Methodology published in
September 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.

Boise Cascade is a building products company headquartered in
Boise, Idaho. Boise Cascade manufactures engineered wood products,
plywood, lumber, and particleboard and distributes a broad line of
building materials, including the wood products that it
manufactures.


BOISE CASCADE: S&P Gives 'B+' Rating on $250MM Unsecured Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's ratings services assigned its 'B+' issue rating
to Idaho-based Boise Cascade LLC's proposed $250 million senior
unsecured notes due 2020. "The '4' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of
default. At the same time, we affirmed our 'B+' corporate credit
rating on the company. The outlook is stable," S&P said.

"At the same time, we revised the recovery rating on Boise
Cascade's 'B+' subordinate notes to '4' from '3', indicating our
expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of a
default," S&P said.

Proceeds from the notes issue will be used to repay the company's
$220 million subordinated notes due 2014 and for general corporate
purposes.

"The ratings on Boise Cascade reflect our view of the wood
products company's 'weak' business risk profile and its
'aggressive' financial risk profile," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst James Fielding. "Weaknesses include exposure to
highly volatile new home construction and negligible EBITDA and
funds from operations as the housing sector bounced along the
bottom of an historic downturn in recent years. Still, Boise
Cascade has emerged from the downturn with a 'strong' liquidity
position and we expect credit ratios to strengthen as residential
construction improves over the next several years, as contemplated
under our baseline economic forecast."

Boise Cascade is a privately held limited liability company
sponsored by Madison Dearborn Partners LLC, a Chicago-based
private equity firm. Boise Cascade operates two primary segments:
its building materials segment distributes engineered wood
products (EWP), plywood, lumber, roofing materials and other
construction supplies and its wood products segment manufactures
EWP, plywood, and lumber. 2011 revenue from these two segments was
down roughly 40% from the cyclical peak in 2005, supporting our
view that wood-based building products industry is fragmented,
oversupplied, and highly cyclical.

"The stable outlook reflects our baseline view that the U.S.
housing market recovery is finally gaining momentum after several
previous false starts. We expect housing starts to improve by
about 25% in 2013 and for Boise Cascade's 2013 EBITDA to improve
to about $100 million. Under this scenario, we expect leverage to
drop to about 4x. We also expect FFO to debt to be 15% to 20%.
These ratios are consistent with our aggressive financial risk
assessment," S&P said.

"A downgrade is unlikely in the next 12 months, even if the
housing recovery stalls temporarily, given the company's strong
liquidity position. However, if we would lower our rating if
liquidity deteriorated meaningfully and leverage increased and
stayed over 5x. This could occur, for example, if Madison Dearborn
opted to sell its shares to a more aggressive financial sponsor.
An upgrade is also unlikely given the indeterminate medium-to-long
term financial policies relating to the company's private equity
owners," S&P said.

CLEAR CHANNEL: Fitch Affrims Junk Rating on 3 Senior Note Classes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'CCC' Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and the 'B' IDR of Clear
Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (CCWW), an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (CCOH), Clear
Channel's 89% owned outdoor advertising subsidiary.  In addition,
Fitch expects to assign a 'CCC/RR4' rating to the proposed 9.0%
Priority Guarantee Notes (PGN) due 2019 upon issuance. The Rating
Outlook is Stable.

Fitch views Clear Channel's offer to exchange up to $2 billion of
term loans for new issue PGNs, as well as its concurrent pursuit
of various amendments to its credit facilities, as material
positives for the capital structure.  Assuming the transaction is
completed as proposed, it will extend $2 billion of maturities by
more than three years (under Fitch's expectations that the vast
majority of extending lenders will be 2016 holders), and reduce
the 2016 maturity wall from $12.1 billion to $10.1 billion.  This
will provide the company with incremental flexibility in managing
its intermediate term capital structure.  One negative of the
transaction is the higher coupon on the new PGNs relative to the
term loan, which will increase annual interest expense by
approximately $100 million.  However, consolidated interest
expense could be subsequently reduced by the expiration of an
interest rate swap in Sept. 2013, as well as any potential
refinancing of the CCWW 9.25% unsecured notes.

Importantly, this transaction, in which Clear Channel pre-obtained
the commitment of 46% of its cash flow credit facility holders,
demonstrates that a significant portion of Clear Channel's lender
base is willing to extend their commitments and work with the
company. It has been Fitch's view that Clear Channel's ability to
remain a going concern will require flexibility on the part of
2016 term-loan holders by way of maturity extension.  The lenders
would have to believe that any leeway would provide Clear Channel
with the ability to improve its capital structure, not merely
prolong the inevitable.

Fitch also views the amendments as a positive for Clear Channel in
that they provide the company with incremental flexibility in
managing the various parts of its capital structure (including
term loans, legacy unsecured notes, and debt at CCWW.  Fitch
believes that in the event the company achieves these proposed
amendments, it will substantially increase the probability that
Clear Channel will be able to repay its $1.5 billion of maturities
in 2014 ($1.1 billion term loan and $461 million legacy note),
without a maturity extension.  That said, with nearly $500 million
of debt obligations now through year-end 2013, Clear Channel's
cash position and free cash flow (FCF) do not provide the ability
to organically repay the 2014 maturities.  However, the amendment
will enable a full 2014 refinancing.

The amendments Clear Channel is seeking include 1) the ability to
conduct up to $5 billion of loan-to-bond exchanges (including the
currently proposed $2 billion); 2) the ability to prepay term loan
A (TLA) on a non-pro rata basis; 3) the ability to conduct Dutch
auction tenders for bank debt below par after the full repayment
of TLA; 4) a $200 million basket for open-market repurchases of
junior legacy notes maturing 2013, 2014 and 2015; 5) more
flexibility to raise debt at CCWW, to bring the covenants in line
with those in the recently issued CCWW subordinated notes; 6)
ability to combine the term loan B with the two delayed-draw term
loans; and 7) to preserve the ability to increase the revolving
credit facility (RCF) under the company's accordion feature in the
event that it is repaid.

While Clear Channel continues to chip away at the 2016 wall, $10
billion of maturities is still unmanageable without substantial
further capital structure changes or extensions, given the
company's limited free cash flow and high leverage.  The ability
to remain a going concern therefore depends on Clear Channel
retaining access to the capital markets.

At June 30, 2012, Clear Channel had $825 million of cash,
excluding $491 million of cash held at CCOH. This $825 million
includes $712 million of CCOH funds swept to Clear Channel for
cash management purposes.  Clear Channel can access these funds
and use them at its discretion, although they are due to CCOH on
demand. Backup liquidity consists of an undrawn ABL facility
maturing July 2014 (subject to an undisclosed borrowing base; $321
million outstanding at first quarter 2011, the last reported date
before the facility was repaid).  FCF is limited and will decrease
to approximately $100 million given higher interest expense.
Substantially all FCF comes from CCOH.  Clear Channel is a
beneficiary of a portion of this via the cash sweep, although it
does not currently generate cash on its own.

Clear Channel's ability to address its capital structure also
hinges on a relatively benign macroeconomic environment.  A severe
downturn will quickly remove the refinancing alternatives provided
by these amendments.  The company's operations are tied to the
overall advertising environment, and the largely fixed cost base
can drive outsized EBITDA declines in a downturn.  This would
serve to increase leverage and reduce FCF, severely impeding the
company's financial flexibility and negotiating position with its
lenders.

In Fitch's view, there is a scenario where the company employs
several, if not all, of its alternatives, including further
dividends out of CCOH, further Clear Channel high-yield notes,
further maturity extensions, small asset sales, market repayments,
distressed debt exchanges (DDE), which enable it to avoid default.
However, this scenario involves some fairly aggressive assumptions
and several events going in the company's favor.  Therefore, Fitch
believes a default is a real possibility.

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

Fitch estimates that total leverage was 11.4x at June 30, 2012,
with secured leverage of 7.2x. Consolidated EBITDA has not yet
improved to pre-downturn levels, although secured leverage has
been reduced by approximately one turn over the past 12 months,
due largely to the debt-funded dividend from CCOH.  Fitch does not
expect a material amount of total debt reduction over the next
several years, given minimal consolidated FCF.  Instead, Fitch
expects the company to continue to focus on chipping away at its
term loans via issuance at Clear Channel and CCOH.

The ratings at CCOH incorporate Fitch's favorable outlook on the
outdoor industry and CCOH's position within it.  The ratings also
consider Fitch's expectations that total leverage is likely to
migrate towards 7x over the next several years as CCU seeks to
maximize its cash from the subsidiary.  The ratings also
incorporate the legal provisions that separate the two entities
and protect the subsidiary, including dividend restrictions, lack
of guarantee, and CCOH protection from a CCU default.  However,
there are strong operational ties to the weaker parent, including
centralized treasury and senior management overlap.  Additionally,
the parent can pull cash out of the sub (with restrictions), which
it will rely on to service a portion of its debt.

Pro forma for the announced transaction (and assuming all
extending term loans are 2016), consolidated debt is
$20.7 billion. Debt held at Clear Channel was $16.5 billion and
consisted primarily of:

  -- $1.1 billion secured term loan A, maturing July 2014;

  -- $8.2 billion secured term loans (B, C and delayed draw)
     maturing January 2016;

  -- $10 million outstanding under the $10 million secured RCF,
     maturing July 2014;

  -- $1.75 billion 9.0% secured PGNs, maturing 2021;

  -- $2 billion of 9.0% newly issued secured priority guarantee
     notes (PGNs), maturing 2019;

  -- $796 million senior unsecured 10.75% cash pay notes, maturing
     August 2016;

  -- $830 million senior unsecured 11.0%/11.75% PIK toggle notes,
     maturing August 2016; and

  -- $1.75 billion senior unsecured legacy notes, with maturities
     of 2013-2027.

The bank debt and PGNs are secured by the capital stock of Clear
Channel, Clear Channel's non-broadcasting assets ('non principal
property'), and a second priority lien on the broadcasting
receivables that securitize the ABL facility.

The 'principal property' assets of Clear Channel, which constitute
the majority of the company's asset base, along with the company's
capital stock in wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and
intercompany loans, are subject to a springing lien and cannot
currently be pledged as collateral.  It appears that the banks may
benefit from the grant of security interest in the principal
property up to the value of 15% of consolidated shareholders'
equity.  The new PGNs benefit from a collateral sharing agreement
with the banks, which the old PGNs do not.  Although this equity
is currently negative, it is possible that this bank carve-out and
collateral sharing agreement could place the banks and new PGNs
slightly ahead of the previously issued PGNs in a recovery
situation prior to the point where the springing lien occurs.

The bank debt and secured notes are guaranteed on a senior basis
by Clear Channel Capital I, Inc. (holding company of Clear
Channel), and by Clear Channel's wholly owned domestic
subsidiaries.  There is no guarantee from CCOH or its
subsidiaries. The leveraged buyout (LBO) notes benefit from a
guarantee from the same entities, although it is contractually
subordinated to the secured debt guarantees.  The legacy notes are
not guaranteed.

Clear Channel's Recovery Ratings reflect Fitch's expectation that
the enterprise value of the company will be maximized in a
restructuring scenario (going concern), rather than a liquidation.
Fitch employs a 6x distressed enterprise value multiple reflecting
the value of the company's radio broadcasting licenses in top U.S.
markets. Fitch applies a 20% discount to Radio EBITDA.  Fitch
assumes that Clear Channel has maximized the debt-funded dividends
from CCOH and used the proceeds to repay bank debt.  Additionally,
Fitch assumes that Clear Channel would receive 89% of the value of
a sale of CCOH after the CCOH creditors had been repaid.  Fitch
estimates the adjusted distressed enterprise valuation in
restructuring to be approximately $6.6 billion.

The 'CCC' rating for the bank debt and secured notes reflects
Fitch's belief that although the current recovery expectations are
near the bottom of the 'RR3' (51%-70%) range, Fitch believes an
'RR4' (31%-50%) rating is appropriate, given the complexity and
uncertainty of the situation, the proportion of secured debt in
the capital structure, and expectations that future secured
issuance could go to repay maturing unsecured notes.  Fitch
expects minimal recovery for the senior unsecured legacy notes and
LBO notes due to their position below the banks in the capital
structure, and they are assigned 'RR4'.  However, Fitch rates the
LBO notes 'CC' and the legacy notes 'C', given the formers'
receipt of a subordinated guarantee and the latters' lack thereof.

CCOH's Recovery Ratings also reflect Fitch's expectation that
enterprise value would be maximized as a going concern. Fitch
stresses outdoor EBITDA by 15%, to approximately the level where
the company could not cover its fixed charges, and applies a 7x
valuation multiple.  Fitch estimates the enterprise value would be
$3.7 billion. This indicates 100% recovery for the unsecured
notes. However, Fitch notches the debt up only two notches from
the IDR given the unsecured nature of the debt.  In Fitch's
analysis, the subordinated notes recover 55%, indicating 'RR3', or
one notch up from the IDR. There is very little flexibility within
the 'RR3' rating category in Fitch's view, and any incremental
debt could result in a downgrade of these notes.

Rating Drivers

Positive: Although Fitch views the transaction as a positive,
positive rating actions are not yet warranted.  Such actions could
result from a material reduction in secured leverage, as well as
agreements with the term loan holders to extend a substantially
larger portion of its term loan maturities long enough that Fitch
believes the company will be better able to address them via a
combination of cash payments, public debt, and refinancing of bank
loans.

Negative: A downgrade could result from prolonged consolidated
cash burn, which would reduce Clear Channel's ability to fund
near-term maturities.  Additionally, cyclical or secular pressures
on operating results that further weaken credit metrics, reducing
the potential for refinancing/extension, could result in negative
rating pressure.  Lastly, indications that a DDE is probable in
the near term would also drive a downgrade.

Fitch affirms Clear Channel and its subsidiaries as follows:

Clear Channel

  -- Long-term IDR at 'CCC';
  -- Senior secured term loans and senior secured revolving credit
     facility (RCF) at 'CCC/RR4';
  -- Senior secured priority guarantee notes at 'CCC/RR4';
  -- Senior unsecured LBO notes at 'CC/RR6';
  -- Senior unsecured legacy notes at 'C/RR6'.

CCWW

  -- Long-Term IDR at 'B';
  -- Senior unsecured notes at 'BB-/RR2';
  -- Senior subordinated notes at 'B+/RR3'.

DETROIT, MI: Moody's Reviews 'B3' G.O. Rating for Downgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service continues the review for possible
downgrade the City of Detroit's (MI) B3 General Obligation and
Certificates of Participation debt ratings, as well as its Caa1
general obligation limited tax debt rating. The review for
possible downgrade for the city's Water and Sewer Enterprise
ratings, each rated Baa2 for senior lien revenue debt and Baa3 for
second lien revenue debt, is also continued. The maintenance of
the review action for possible downgrade is based on the ongoing
uncertainty surrounding Public Act 4 (PA 4) and the yet unknown
impact of the suspension of PA 4 on the city's fiscal 2013 budget.
Moody's expects to resolve the review in November 2012 following
the resolution of these issues. Prior to the action, the review
for possible downgrade was maintained on June 14, 2012 as the city
worked to complete its transaction with the Michigan Finance
Authority.

PA 4, also known as the Local Government and School District
Fiscal Accountability Act, was originally enacted March 16, 2011
but temporarily suspended on August 8, 2012. The suspension
resulted from the Michigan Board of Canvassers certifying a
petition to put the question of repealing PA 4 on the statewide
ballot this November. Following the suspension, the Detroit Police
Officers Association has challenged the implementation of new
contractual terms, citing the suspension of PA 4 as grounds for
the challenge.

The city is currently working on an amended fiscal 2013 budget to
reflect the impact of not achieving personnel savings starting in
July 2012. Given the budgetary relief from changes to employment
terms for city employees, any rollback of expected personnel
savings could be a credit negative event given the city's ongoing
narrow cash position. The maintenance of the review for possible
downgrade action for the city's general obligation, certificate of
participation and general obligation limited tax ratings reflects
the aforementioned risks. The review for possible downgrade action
for the city's water and sewer enterprise ratings is ongoing given
that they are city-owned and may not be completely immune to the
risks associated with a city bankruptcy filing.

The principal methodology used in this rating was General
Obligation Bonds Issued by U.S. Local Governments published in
October 2009.


DAFFY'S INC: Urges Judge to Confirm Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------
Lisa Uhlman at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Daffy's Inc. urged a
New York bankruptcy judge Thursday to confirm its Chapter 11
liquidation plan, combating 12 parties that it says failed to pose
adequate objections to confirmation and insisting that the plan
complies with the Bankruptcy Code.

Ahead of a Tuesday confirmation hearing before U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Martin Glenn, the Debtor filed a proposed order approving
the plan, which lays out the case and its arguments in support of
confirmation, Bankruptcy Law360 relates.

                         About Daffy's Inc.

Secaucus, New Jersey-based Daffy's Inc., a 19-store chain, off-
price retailer of designer fashions for women, men, children, and
the home, located in the New York metropolitan area and
Philadelphia, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 12-13312) on Aug. 1, 2012, with a plan to shutter the
business and pay off creditors in full.  A copy of the Plan is
available at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/Daffys_Chapter_11_Plan.pdf

The Debtor has an Asset Purchase, Assignment and Support
Agreement, dated as July 18, 2012, with Marcia Wilson, The Wilson
2003 Family Trust, and Jericho Acquisitions I LLC, pursuant to
which the Debtor's leasehold interests will be sold to Jericho
Acquisitions I LLC through the Plan.

The Debtor has hired Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC and
Hilco Merchant Resources LLC to liquidate the Debtor's inventory.

The Debtor estimates that the proceeds received from the
liquidation of its inventory and the sale of its leasehold
interests will exceed at least $60 million to satisfy
approximately $37 million in claims.  Cost of administering the
chapter 11 case will not exceed approximately $5 million (after
certain expenses are reimbursed pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement).  Accordingly, the Debtor believes that the disposition
of the Debtor's principal assets will generate more than
sufficient cash to pay all holders of Allowed Claims (as such term
is defined in the Plan) in full, with interest, thus rendering all
classes under the Plan unimpaired.

The Debtor has filed its schedules, disclosing $51,106,469 in
total assets and $36,646,856 in total liabilities.

Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn presides over the case.  The Debtor
is represented by Andrea Bernstein, Esq., and Debra A. Dandeneau,
Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as counsel.  Donlin, Recano &
Company, Inc., serves as claims and notice agent.

The Debtor's case is being funded by a $10 million postpetition
financing with Vim-3, L.L.C., Vimwilco, L.P., and Marcia Wilson,
as successor to Vim Associates, as guarantors; and Wells Fargo,
National Association, as DIP lender.  The DIP loan consists of
$2.5 million in new money loans available on a revolving basis;
and the roll up of $6.2 million of existing prepetition debt.

DETROIT WEST: S&P Gives 'BB' Rating on $7.2MM Acad Revenue Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' long-term
rating to Detroit West Preparatory Academy, Mich.'s $7.2 million
series 2012 public school academy revenue bonds. The outlook is
stable.

"The rating reflects our view of robust liquidity and early
successes from recent efforts to improve the school's academic
performance, headcount, and financial performance," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Avanti Paul.

The 'BB' rating further reflects S&P's view of the school's:

  -- Modest headcount growth in the last two fiscal years
     following a fluctuating enrollment trend which S&P expects to
     continue from the school's new revised curriculum and
     marketing efforts.

  -- Good general fund balance which decreased from the enrollment
     trend and the purchase of the new facility and which S&P
     expects to improve in the next five years.

  -- Solid cash levels despite a historic declining trend, however
     S&P anticipates cash to begin to grow moving forward.

  -- Several successful charter school renewals;

  -- New and experienced management team that is diligently
     working to build a stable and growing headcount and financial
     profile.

"The $7.5 million fixed-rate series 2012 bonds are the school's
only debt, and the proceeds will be used to retrofit a purchased
facility to accommodate the school's planned growth and teaching
methods from a revised curriculum," S&P said.

"The stable outlook reflects our view that the recent improvements
made at the school will continue and result in a growing
enrollment trend that will translate to a stronger general fund
balance," S&P said.


DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Partners Committee Appeals Settlement Approval
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP official committee for former
partners isn't going down without a fight.

According to the report, the back-and-forth between Dewey and the
committee began on Oct. 9 when a bankruptcy judge approved a
$71.5 million settlement with about 440 former partners.  The
partners' committee opposed approval of the settlement, saying
there should be an examiner appointed instead to investigate the
bonafides of the compromise.  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn
disagreed, saying the committee hadn't "contributed in a
productive way to this bankruptcy case."

Picking up where the judge left off, Dewey filed papers the next
day, Oct. 10, asking the judge to disband the committee.

The following day, Oct. 11, the partners' committee filed an
appeal from approval of the settlement.

Judge Glenn will hold a hearing on Nov. 1 to decide if the
committee should be disbanded, according to the report.

                       About Dewey & LeBoeuf

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 $245 million and assets of $193 million in
its chapter 11 filing late evening on May 29, 2012.

DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Wants Authority to Collect $154MM From Ex-Clients
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Uhlman at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP
asked a New York bankruptcy judge Monday to let it subpoena
"recalcitrant" former clients for documents that will help it
collect $154 million in remaining accounts receivable, one of its
biggest remaining assets, and implement alternative dispute
resolution procedures.

According to Bankruptcy Law360, the Debtor notes that while it and
its collection agent, On-Site Associates LLC, have collected
nearly $59 million so far in accounts receivable, the lion's share
remains uncollected, while there is still $27 million of unbilled
work in progress on the firm's balance.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Judge Martin Glenn
on Tuesday approved the so-called partner contribution plan.

The report relates Mr. Togut also argued the $779,000 Kasowitz has
billed for its work on the case between its appointment June 4 and
the end of August is double the amount that has been budgeted for
the committee's legal fees -- and a major drain on the estate's
resources.  By raising opposition to the settlement plan with
former partners, Mr. Togut adds, "the Debtor (along with its
professionals) was forced to collect more than 70,000 pages of
documents from multiple sources and to process and produce more
than 22,000 pages on an expedited schedule," as well as spend two
days making people available for depositions.

The Am Law Daily also reports Cameron MacRae III, Esq., a Duane
Morris partner who sits on the official committee, said he stands
by the U.S. trustee's appointment of the group as an appropriate
vehicle for retirees, "who have suffered the most," to have a
voice in the proceedings.

The committee also includes two legacy Dewey Ballantine partners
-- Stuart Hirshfield, now senior counsel at Mintz, Levin, Cohn,
Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo; and E. Ann Gill, now an attorney with
real estate management company Balmer Parc -- who came on board
this summer.  The Am Law Daily says both signed on to the partner
contribution plan: Mr. Hirshfield agreed to contribute $5,000 and
Ms. Gill $5,085.  Mr. Hirshfield said he believes the committee
should continue to exist but had no further comment.  Ms. Gill
could not be reached for comment Thursday.

The report says a hearing on the request to dismantle the group is
scheduled for November 1 at 2 p.m.


DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Ex-Partners Group Appeal Settlement Plan Approval
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Jennifer Smith looks back at the partner
settlement plan that gave former Dewey & LeBoeuf partners "an
escape hatch from ugly litigation."

According to Ms. Smith, Peter Gilhuly, Esq., a bankruptcy partner
with Latham & Watkins LLP who has represented insolvent firms,
noted that most law-firm bankruptcies devolve into "the law of the
jungle," with lawsuits flying in all directions.

According to the WSJ report, Dewey's $71.5 million settlement
plan, called a partner contribution plan, showed that such an
early deal -- while tricky -- is possible when a law firm
collapses.

"The lawyers all discuss this," said William Brandt, president and
chief executive of turnaround firm Development Specialists Inc.
and a consultant on Dewey's bankruptcy and other law-firm
failures, according to the WSJ report.  "What's novel here is that
people were able to be persuaded."

WSJ recounts the partner contribution plan was set in motion this
spring by a team of restructuring experts and Martin Bienenstock,
Esq., who at the time ran the firm's bankruptcy practice.  WSJ
relates Mr. Bienenstock said the idea initially was to merge with
another firm that would agree to liquidate Dewey's assets at its
own expense and grant releases to Dewey's partners. Consultants
from Goldin Associates LLC crunched the numbers to see if the
savings from having the acquiring firm liquidate the Dewey estate,
instead of doing it through bankruptcy court, would be enough to
cover creditors' potential claims against individual partners.
But the possibility of a merger collapsed in late April, when news
broke that the Manhattan district attorney had launched an
investigation into alleged wrongdoing at Dewey. The team switched
to Plan B, using the estimates of what partners might owe to
sketch out a potential agreement with creditors.

"We said . . . 'Let's just compute how much each partner should
pay and not spend five or 10 years litigating,'" Mr. Bienenstock
recalled, according to WSJ.  Mr. Bienenstock said the plan wasn't
intended to punish former partners. "It was making an opportunity
available to buy yourself an insurance policy," said Mr.
Bienenstock, who agreed to pay $643,011 into the plan.

WSJ relates that over the summer, Dewey's lead bankruptcy lawyer,
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP partner Albert Togut, and Dewey's chief
restructuring officer, Joff Mitchell, of Zolfo Cooper LLC,
negotiated with former Dewey partners and their lawyers, adjusting
the formulas, trimming the minimum contribution and imposing a
surcharge on members of the firm's executive committee.
Ultimately, more than half of the targeted partners signed up.

WSJ notes not everyone is on board. Some retired Dewey partners
opposed the plan, saying it favored the highest-paid, most-
powerful partners and wouldn't deliver enough money to creditors.
While about 200 retired partners ultimately signed on to the deal,
one group representing their interests, the Former Partners
Committee, on Thursday filed a notice to appeal Judge Glenn's
decision.

According to WSJ, Mr. Gilhuly of Latham & Watkins said the
settlement was significant nonetheless. "What we learned here is
that you can get a complicated deal done if you get everyone
rowing in the same direction," he said. "Before, people would say,
'It's never been done, let's not waste our time on this.' "

According to the report, Mr. Brandt, of Development Specialists,
noted that Dewey's downfall in some ways was an anomaly because
the firm's debt was far heavier than in most law-firm failures.
Much of that debt had been sold to "folks who are known to be
aggressive in pursuing their claims," he said.  That gave partners
added incentive to settle now instead of fighting in court.

"There's an enormous virtue in finding a way to expedite the
process," said David Pauker, executive managing director of Goldin
Associates, which also assembled a partner settlement plan for
defunct law firm Coudert Brothers LLP, according to the WSJ
report. "The longer the law-firm bankruptcy lasts, the more it
eats up that smaller asset base."

WSJ also relates Schuyler Carroll, Esq., a bankruptcy partner at
Perkins Coie LLP, said the Dewey settlement reflected a trend in
bankruptcy and litigation more generally. " 'Let's figure out what
the reality is likely to be, save three or four years of fighting
and come out with a similar result,' " he said. "Nobody is willing
to fund these things anymore. You can't just fight forever."

administrative claim granted to Dynegy Inc. in the Holdings
Chapter 11 case to be transferred out of Dynegy Inc. for the
benefit of its shareholders.

EASTMAN KODAK: Retirees Reach Deal for $7.5MM Cash, $650MM Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Retirees of the Eastman Kodak Company
announced that it has reached an agreement in principle with Kodak
that will provide for the continuation of all retiree benefits
through the end of 2012.  The settlement also provides for a cash
payment of $7.5 million and bankruptcy claims totaling $650
million that will be used to fund the continuation of some
benefits after Dec. 31, 2012.

The Committee was formed in May 2012 to advocate for retirees
after Kodak filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to terminate
health benefits for its Medicare-eligible retirees, effective May
1, 2012.  Soon thereafter, Kodak informed the Committee that it
intended to terminate all benefits as of Sept. 30, 2012.

Kodak stated it could not continue retiree benefits and also
reorganize, and provided the Committee with hundreds of thousands
of pages of supporting documents. If Kodak does not successfully
emerge from bankruptcy, the retirees have no chance of receiving
any future benefits.

The Committee's advisors engaged in extensive and hard-fought
negotiations with Kodak, which the company required be conducted
under strict confidentiality.  The Committee was ultimately able
to strike an agreement with Kodak for all benefits to be continued
through the end of 2012 - a value to the retiree community of
approximately $30 million (in addition to about $8.5 million in
savings to Medicare-eligible retirees that resulted from the
withdrawal of the motion to terminate their health care benefits
effective May 1, 2012).  The Committee also concluded the
agreement in a way that requires Kodak to make COBRA coverage
available for life to all retirees so long as retirees pay
premiums and Kodak continues to sponsor health plans for its
active employees.  This will allow all retirees to have health
care coverage comparable to what they currently have, although
premium costs may increase for many.

The bankruptcy claims include an administrative priority claim in
the amount of $15 million, and a general unsecured claim in the
amount of $635 million, which will be liquidated to add to the
cash payment of $7.5 million.

The Committee will use the funds acquired in the settlement to set
up a VEBA - a trust fund that will subsidize the cost of some
benefits going forward.  Based on input received from the retiree
community and the experience of the Committee members, the
Committee decided that the limited funds available should be used
where they are most needed, to create a modest safety net for as
many people as possible.  Specifically, the VEBA will pay a
limited portion of the Survivor Income Benefits to surviving
spouses and dependents of retirees who depend on these payments
for their living costs.  In addition, the Committee intends to use
the VEBA to subsidize some portion of the health care costs for
retirees not yet eligible for Medicare.  The Committee determined
that health care benefits comparable to what Kodak has been
providing for Medicare-eligible retirees are readily available in
the marketplace at a reasonable cost.  Retirees with life
insurance benefits will have conversion rights under the terms of
the Kodak plans.

Finally, communications to retirees, while not permitted during
the negotiations, are now of paramount importance. The Committee
thus secured Kodak's commitment to provide prompt and
comprehensive communications to the retiree community, including
written information as well as a series of town hall meetings.

The Committee recognizes that retirees are going to suffer as a
result of Kodak's decision to terminate benefits.  Unfortunately,
however, the law does not favor the interests of retirees in this
situation.  The Committee ultimately concluded that the agreement
it negotiated was better than it could reasonably expect to
achieve if it engaged in risky, uncertain, and potentially harmful
litigation.

The Committee urges all retirees to pay close attention to the
information they will be receiving from Kodak, as well as from
health insurance carriers, Medicare, and the Committee.

Information regarding COBRA coverage, Medicare coverage, and
conversion options will be disseminated over the coming weeks and
months, as well as more information regarding the VEBA and the
benefits it will provide.

                        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.

As of July 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of
$3.93 billion, total liabilities of $5.32 billion and total
stockholders' deficit of $1.39 billion.

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

ELPIDA MEMORY: Balks at Bid for Court-Appointed Representative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Peg Brickley at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that
chipmaker Elpida Memory Inc. has moved to fend off the appointment
of a U.S. court representative in its Japanese bankruptcy
proceeding, warning such an appointment means "conflict and
tension" with the Tokyo court that is headed toward a critical
choice.

                        About Elpida Memory

Elpida Memory Inc. (TYO:6665) -- http://www.elpida.com/ja/-- is
a Japan-based company principally engaged in the development,
design, manufacture and sale of semiconductor products, with a
focus on dynamic random access memory (DRAM) silicon chips.  The
main products are DDR3 SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, SDRAM,
Mobile RAM and XDR DRAM, among others.  The Company distributes
its products to both domestic and overseas markets, including the
United States, Europe, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and others.
The company has eight subsidiaries and two associated companies.

After semiconductor prices plunged, Japan's largest maker of DRAM
chips filed for bankruptcy in February with liabilities of 448
billion yen ($5.6 billion) after losing money for five quarters.
Elpida Memory and its subsidiary, Akita Elpida Memory, Inc.,
filed for corporate reorganization proceedings in Tokyo District
Court on Feb. 27, 2012.  The Tokyo District Court immediately
rendered a temporary restraining order to restrain creditors from
demanding repayment of debt or exercising their rights with
respect to the company's assets absent prior court order.
Atsushi Toki, Attorney-at-Law, has been appointed by the Tokyo
Court as Supervisor and Examiner in the case.

Elpida Memory Inc. sought the U.S. bankruptcy court's recognition
of its reorganization proceedings currently pending in Tokyo
District Court, Eight Civil Division.  Yuko Sakamoto, as foreign
representative, filed a Chapter 15 petition (Bankr. D. Del. Case
No. 12-10947) for Elpida on March 19, 2012.


EMPRESAS INTEREX: Plan Filing Period Extended to Nov. 30
--------------------------------------------------------
Empresas Interex Inc., won an extension until Nov. 30, 2012, of
the deadline to file its Chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement.

postpetition financing from its parent corporation, Interamerican
University of Puerto Rico, Inc., in order for the Debtor to
complete the development, construction and sale of its residential
housing project at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, known as Ciudad Atlantis
and be able to reorganize.  The Debtor said it is indispensable
for the hearing on the DIP financing to take place prior to the
Debtor filing its disclosure statement and plan.

San Juan, Puerto Rico-based Empresas Interex Inc. filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. P.R. Case No. 11-10475) on
Dec. 7, 2011.  Bankruptcy Judge Mildred Caban Flores presides over
the case.  The company posts $11,412,500 in assets and
US$9,335,561 in liabilities.


ENDURANCE INTERNATIONAL: S&P Affirms 'B' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Burlington, Mass.-based Endurance International
Group Inc. "We also revised the outlook to negative from stable,"
S&P said.

"In addition, we are assigning a 'B' issue-level rating with a
recovery rating of '3' to the company's proposed $800 million
first-lien term loan. The '3' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for lenders in
the event of payment default. At the same time, we assigned a
'CCC+' issue-level rating with a recovery rating of '6' to the
company's proposed $315 million second-lien term loan. The
recovery rating of '6', indicates our expectation of negligible
(0% to 10%) recovery for lenders in the event of payment default,"
S&P said.

"We also affirmed our 'B' issue-level rating with a recovery
rating of '3' on the company's existing $75 million senior secured
revolving credit facility," S&P said.

The company is using the loan proceeds together with $22 million
of cash on hand to refinance existing debt and to pay a $300
million dividend to shareholders.

"The negative outlook reflects the company's aggressive financial
policies and deterioration in its pro forma debt protection
metrics," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Katarzyna Nolan.
"The rating on Endurance reflects the company's 'vulnerable'
business risk profile under our criteria, characterized by highly
competitive industry conditions with low barriers to entry, and
what we view as a 'highly leveraged' financial risk profile. The
company's significant base of recurring revenues and stable cash
flow generation partly offset these factors."

"The negative outlook reflects the company's aggressive financial
policy, and weak pro forma FOCF to debt. We could lower the rating
if FOCF to debt were to decline to the low-single-digit area as a
result of a significant loss of its customer base, acquisition
integration challenges, or additional debt. We could revise the
outlook to stable if Endurance can improve and sustain its FOCF to
debt measures in the high single digit area within the next 12
months, either through operating performance improvement or debt
reduction," S&P said.


EPL OIL: Moody's Rates New $250MM Senior Unsecured Notes 'Caa1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa1 rating to EPL Oil & Gas,
Inc.'s proposed $250 million 8.25% senior unsecured notes due
2020. EPL's existing ratings were unchanged. The outlook remains
negative.

Net proceeds from the note offering will be placed into an escrow
and ultimately used to partially fund the $550 million cash
purchase price of certain Gulf of Mexico (GoM) shallow water
assets from Hilcorp Energy.

"The amount of unsecured note issuance is consistent with what we
had anticipated at the announcement of the Hilcorp acquisition,"
said Sajjad Alam, Moody's Analyst. "The new notes will be issued
under a different indenture, but will rank pari passu with EPLs
existing 8.25% notes and have substantially identical terms and
conditions."

Issuer: EPL Oil & Gas, Inc.

  Assignments:

    US$250M 8.25% Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture,
    Assigned Caa1

    US$250M 8.25% Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture,
    Assigned a range of LGD5, 76 %

Ratings Rationale

The unsecured notes are rated Caa1, one notch below the B3 CFR
given the substantial size of the priority claim secured revolving
credit facility in the capital structure. The company's upsized
$440 million revolving credit facility has a first-lien claim and
is secured by substantially all assets of EPL, and the notes are
structurally subordinated to the credit facility. The Caa1 note
rating reflects both the overall probability of default of EPL, to
which Moody's assigns a Probability of Default of B3, and a loss
given default of LGD 5 (76%) under Moody's Loss Given Default
Methodology.

The B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects EPL's small-scale,
overriding concentration in the Gulf of Mexico, high plugging and
abandonment (P&A) costs, weak reserve replacement through the
drill-bit, and acquisitive nature. The rating is restrained by the
company's limited track record after emerging from bankruptcy in
September 2009, as it continues to grow mostly through
acquisitions. The rating is positively impacted by the company's
oily production profile (~71%), low risk behind-the-pipe drilling
opportunities and relatively high working interest in properties
that allow flexible capital allocation. In light of the company's
increased debt level and heightened concentration in the GoM, the
B3 rating has minimal flexibility for any material increases in
leverage.

The negative outlook reflects increased leverage, higher reliance
on external funding, and acquisition and execution risks. If EPL
reduces its debt to average daily production below $28,000 per boe
while maintaining production above 20,000 boe per day, the outlook
could move back to stable.

There is limited upside in the current ratings through 2013. Over
the longer term, increased scale and capital efficiency supported
by consistent organic reserve replacement and operational
execution could be positive for the ratings, assuming the growth
was achieved with competitive costs and financial leverage was
sufficiently low.

The rating could be downgraded if the debt to average daily
production ratio rises above $33,000 per boe or the company
experiences a significant deterioration in liquidity.

The principal methodology used in rating EPL was the Global
Independent Exploration and Production Industry Methodology
published in December 2011. Other methodologies used include Loss
Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the
U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

EPL Oil & Gas, Inc., is an independent exploration and production
company with primary operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico shelf.


EPL OIL: S&P Rates $460MM 8.25% Senior Unsecured Notes 'B-'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its 'B-' senior unsecured
rating on EPL Oil & Gas Inc.'s (EPL) 8.25% senior notes due 2018
is unchanged after the company announced it will seek to add $250
million to the existing $210 million notes outstanding, bringing
the total issue amount to $460 million. "The recovery rating on
the notes is '5', indicating our expectation of modest (10% to
30%) recovery in the event of a payment default. The 'B' corporate
credit rating and stable outlook on EPL are unaffected," S&P said.

"The exploration and production company intends to use proceeds to
fund a portion of the purchase price to acquire the shallow-water
Gulf of Mexico assets from Hilcorp Energy I L.P (BB-/Stable/--).
The estimated proved reserves of the assets being acquired are 36
million barrels of oil equivalents, with an estimated average net
daily production of 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent. Pro forma
for the proposed transaction, we expect credit measures to remain
satisfactory for the ratings," S&P said.

The ratings on U.S.-based EPL Oil & Gas Inc. reflect Standard &
Poor's assessment of the company's "vulnerable" business risk and
"aggressive" financial risk profiles. The ratings incorporate the
company's relatively small reserve base, limited scale, high
concentration in the Gulf of Mexico shelf, weak internal reserve
replacement metrics, and elevated cost structure. In addition, the
ratings are based on EPL's position as an exploration and
production company operating in the Gulf of Mexico and in a highly
cyclical, capital-intensive, and competitive industry. "Our
ratings on EPL also reflect the company's high proportion of oil
production (approximately 64% pro forma for its recently announced
acquisition), and its 'adequate' liquidity," S&P said.

FIBERTOWER CORP: Seeks to Pay More Than $500,000 in Bonuses
-----------------------------------------------------------
Marie Beaudette at Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that
FiberTower Corp. is seeking to pay more than $500,000 to a group
of key employees to keep them at the company as it works to sell
its assets.

                   About FiberTower Corporation

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.  Fibertower
Spectrum disclosed $106,630,000 in assets and $175,501,975 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

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.

William T. Neary, the U.S. Trustee for Region 6 appointed five
members to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the
Debtors' cases.  The Committee is represented by Otterbourg,
Steindler, Houston & Rosen, P.C., and Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman
& Leonard, P.A.  Goldin Associates, LLC serves as its financial
advisors.


GELT PROPERTIES: Hearing on Access to Cash Collateral Oct. 24
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
will convene a hearing on Oct. 24, 2012, at 11 a.m., to consider
Gelt Properties, LLC, and affiliate Gelt Financial Corporation's
request for use of VIST Bank's cash collateral.  The Court entered
a fourth interim order authorizing use of VIST Bank's cash
collateral until Oct. 31.  As adequate protection from any
diminution in value of the lender's collateral, the Debtor will
grant the lender replacement liens on all now owned or hereafter
acquired property and assets of the Debtors.  The Debtors will
also pay the lender $6,732.

                 Beneficial Mutual Cash Collateral

On Oct. 3, the Court entered a second interim order authorizing
the Debtors' use of Beneficial Mutual Savings Bank's cash
collateral until Oct. 31.  As adequate protection, the Debtors
will grant the lender replacement liens on all now owned or
hereafter acquired property and assets of the Debtors.  If the
Debtors default or violate the order, the Debtors' right to use
cash collateral will automatically cease until further order of
the Court.  The lender, the Debtors and the Office of the U.S.
Trustee agreed that as of petition date, the Debtors are indebted
to the lender in as yet to be determined amounts.  An Oct. 24
hearing has been set.

                      NPB's Cash Collateral

On June 29, the Hon. Magdeline D. Coleman approved the stipulation
and agreement regarding the (i) use of cash collateral; and
National Penn Bank's request to lift the automatic stay.

The stipulation entered among the Debtors, NPB, and sureties -- H.
Jack Miller, Uri Shoham, and Ari Miller, provides for, among other
things:

   -- NPB has consented to the Debtors' use of cash collateral
      until Dec. 30, 2014, or on the occurrence of an event of
      default;

   -- as adequate protection from any diminution in value of NPB's
      collateral, the Debtor will grant NPB replacement liens;

   -- the Debtor and sureties will make principal payments to NPB,
      make monthly interest on the prepetition loans and each
      mortgage loan sub-note issued thereunder at the interest
      rate of 3.25%;

   -- the automatic stay is lifted to permit NPB to execute on the
      prepetition collateral, cash collateral, and all profits
      thereof, including without limitation, the approved mortgage
      loans (separate sub loans made by NPB to Gelt Financial,
      which Gelt Financial utilized as loans to customers); and

   -- so long as the Debtor timely and faithfully complies with
      all of its obligations under the stipulation and the
      prepetition loan documents, and so long as no event of
      default will occur, NPB will forbear from executing on those
      assets for which the automatic stay has been lifted from the
      effective date until the termination date.

GRAHAM SLAM: Court Enters Final Decree Closing Chapter 11 Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brian D. Lynch of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Washington entered a final decree closing the
Chapter 11 case of Graham Slam, LLC.

The Court, after reviewing the motion, well as the records and
files of the case, finds that cause exists for granting the motion
-- that the estate of the debtor has been fully administered, and
that the Plan having been substantially consummated.

The Reorganized Debtor paid the $975 U.S. Trustee fee.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 9, 2012, the
Debtor has a confirmed Chapter 11 Plan that was unanimously
accepted by creditors and interest holders.  The Plan contemplates
that:

    * Secured creditor Garrison Commercial Funding VII, LLC, will
      (i) receive titles to Lots 2, 3 and 14 in the Graham
      Shopping Center, (ii) retain its lien on Lot 1, and upon the
      sale of Lot 1, will receive 50% of the net proceeds, in full
      satisfaction of its secured claims.

    * Pierce County will retain the liens securing its real
      property tax claims and will receive deferred cash payments
      in the form of equal monthly payments that would fully
      amortize the real property tax claims over a period of 10
      years, plus a balloon payment paid in cash on or before the
      fifth anniversary of the confirmation date in the amount of
      the total unpaid balance.  Pierce County will be entitled to
      statutory interest on its claim pursuant to RCW 84.56.020
      and 11 U.S.C. Sec. 511(a).

    * Unsecured creditors will receive on the sixth month
      anniversary of the Effective Date, the first of 6 equal
      semi-annual payments in an amount equal to 16.667% of their
      allowed claims, with a final payment to be made on the third
      anniversary of the Effective Date.  They will not receive
      interest on their allowed claims.

    * Interest holders are impaired but they will retain their
      interests in the Reorganized Debtor.  The Reorganized Debtor
      will not make and distributions to any members during any
      period when the Reorganized Debtor is in default under the
      terms on the plan in making monthly distributions to the
      holders of allowed claims.

Judge Brian D. Lynch confirmed the Plan on July 12 after Garrison
changed its rejecting ballots to accepting ballots following
changes to the treatment of its claims.  The confirmation order
says that as a result, the Plan has been unanimously accepted by
holders of all claims and interests.

GRAY TELEVISION: Completes Restructuring, Wins $595MM Financing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Gray Television, Inc., has substantially completed its previously
announced refinancing efforts.  Specifically, it has:

   (i) amended and restated its senior credit agreement, which
       provides for total commitments of $595 million, consisting
       of a $40 million revolving credit facility and a $555
       million term loan facility;

  (ii) delivered a notice of redemption relating to Gray's 10 1/2%
       Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2015 that remain
       outstanding after the conclusion of Gray's previously
       announced cash tender offer for the 2015 Notes, which is
       scheduled to expire on Oct. 22, 2012; and

(iii) completed the repurchase of all of the outstanding shares
       of its Series D perpetual preferred stock.

Gray previously announced the completion of its offer and sale of
$300 million of 7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2020 and the repurchase of
$222.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes at the
early settlement date of the Tender Offer.

Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed on a
senior secured basis by all of Gray's existing and future
subsidiaries, and are collateralized by a first priority lien on
substantially all of Gray's and such guarantors' assets.  The New
Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative
covenants with which Gray is required to comply.

The Company used the proceeds from borrowings of $420 million
under the New Credit Facility, and cash on hand, to repay all
remaining amounts outstanding under the Company's prior senior
credit facility, which was then amended and restated, and to pay
related fees and expenses.

The Company has also delivered a notice calling for redemption all
of the 2015 Notes that remain outstanding following the completion
of the Tender Offer at the redemption price of 107.875%, as set
forth in the indenture governing the 2015 Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.
Redemption of the remaining 2015 Notes is expected to occur on
Nov. 13, 2012. As of Oct. 15, 2012, there is approximately $142.4
million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes outstanding.
Gray intends to fund amounts necessary to purchase any additional
2015 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the
Tender Offer and to redeem the remaining outstanding 2015 Notes
through a combination of cash on hand and additional borrowings
under the New Credit Facility.

On Oct. 9, 2012, Gray completed the repurchase of all of the
remaining outstanding shares of its Series D perpetual preferred
stock.  These shares were redeemed at their liquidation value of
$100,000 per share, plus accrued dividends of $9 million.  The
total amount paid of $22.7 million was funded with a portion of
the proceeds from Gray's previously completed sale of 7 1/2%
Senior Notes due 2020.

The Tender Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Company's Offer to Purchase, dated Sept 24, 2012, and the
related Letter of Transmittal.  The tender offer will expire at
12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Oct. 22, 2012, unless
extended or earlier terminated.

BofA Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, are acting the
Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer.  Persons with questions
regarding the Tender Offer should contact BofA Merrill Lynch at
(888) 292-0070 or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC at (866) 309-6316.

The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are
described in the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of
Transmittal, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co.,
Inc., the Information Agent and Tender Agent for the Tender Offer,

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 26, 2012, Moody's Investors
Service upgraded Gray Television, Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) and Probability of Default Rating (PDR) each to B3 from
Caa1.  The upgrades reflect Moody's expectations for the company
to benefit from strong political revenue demand through November
2012 resulting in improved credit metrics combined with
management's commitment to reduce leverage.

In the April 9, 2012, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating on Atlanta,
Ga.-based TV broadcaster Gray Television Inc. to 'B' from 'B-'.

"The 'B' rating reflects company's still-high debt leverage and
weak discretionary cash flow, as well as our expectation that the
company will maintain adequate headroom with its financial
covenants in the absence of any further tightening of covenant
thresholds.  The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation
that Gray will maintain lease-adjusted debt to average trailing-
eight-quarter EBITDA below 7.5x.  We also expect the company to
generate modest positive discretionary cash flow in 2012," S&P
said.


HARDAGE HOTEL: Final Cash Collateral Hearing Set for Oct. 18
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. H. Christopher Mott of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Texas will convene a hearing on Oct. 18, 2012,
at 10 a.m., to consider Hardage Hotels I, LLC's request to use the
cash collateral which Onewest Bank, FSB asserts an interest.

In a fourth interim order, the Court authorized the Debtor's
continued access to the hotel revenues that constitute cash
collateral to fund the Debtor's business operations while it
continues working with its creditors and other parties-in-interest
towards confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 14, 2012,
OneWest Bank is the lender on three different hotel properties of
the Debtor located in Lincoln, Nebraska, El Paso, Texas, and
Dublin, Ohio.

Pursuant to the interim order, the cash generated by the hotels on
which OneWest has a lien will be segregated and not be commingled
with the collateral accounts of any other lender on any other
hotel.  The Debtor may expend, pay and use Cash Collateral only as
authorized by the Interim Order and in accordance with a budget
filed with the Court.

To the extent OneWest can establish that it has liens on the
hotels securing the obligations owing to it, the Interim Order
provides that OneWest will continue to have a lien in the Debtor's
postpetition assets to the same extent and priority as those
prepetition liens.  In addition, as adequate protection for the
use of Cash Collateral, OneWest is granted a ?like kind?
replacement lien and security interest in, to and against all
property acquired by the Debtor.

The replacement lien will not extend to Chapter 5 causes of action
and will be limited to the diminution, if any, in the value of
OneWest's collateral.

                       About Hardage Hotels

Hardage Hotels I, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr.
W.D. Tex. Case No. 12-30443) on March 6, 2012.  The petition was
signed by Samuel A. Hardage, president.  Hardage is a hotel and
real estate development company headquartered in San Diego,
California.

Hardage operates seven hotels in seven states under the brand of
"Chase Suites".  The hotels are located in El Paso, Texas;
Overland Park, Kansas; Newark, California; Kansas City, Missouri;
Des Moines, Iowa; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Dublin, Ohio.  Hardage
operates the hotels under the "Chase Suites" name pursuant to
franchise agreements with Hardage Hospitality, LLC.  The Debtor
has no employees -- all employees at the hotels are employed by
non-debtor Hardage Hospitality, which provides hotel management
services.

The Debtor has outstanding secured debt of $34.2 million plus
interest.  The lenders are OneWest Bank, FSB; California First
National Bank, N.A., and Security Bank of Kansas City.  OneWest
is the lender under a $5.74 million Dublin loan agreement, a
$5.3 million Lincoln loan agreement, and an $11.5 million El Paso
loan agreement.

Hardage was forced to file for bankruptcy when Hardage reached an
out-of-court restructuring of its debts with OneWest and then
OneWest reneged on its commitment.  In September 2010, OneWest
filed a collection against Hardage and sought the appointment of a
receiver over the El Paso property.  A receivership order was
entered but was vacated, although Hardage was ordered to make
payments to OneWest.  The parties then entered into a series of
tolling agreements, under which Hardage paid OneWest $700,000 so
that OneWest would not pursue any further action.  Following
negotiations, the parties signed a "final term sheet" on a
restructuring on Dec. 2, 2011.

But, according to the Debtor, OneWest reneged on the agreement.
In November, OneWest sought foreclosure of, and a receiver for,
the Dublin and El Paso properties.

The Debtor on March 5, 2012, initiated a lawsuit against OneWest
in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Los Angeles, Central District.  The suit alleges several causes of
action, including fraud and breach of contract.

Judge H. Christopher Mott presides over the Chapter 11 case.  The
Debtor has tapped Haynes and Boone LLP as attorneys, and
Transitional Finance Partners LLC as financial advisor.

In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed $39,203,540 in total assets
and $31,119,611 in total liabilities.

Brinkman Portillo Ronk, PC, serves as counsel to the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

No trustee or examiner has been requested or appointed in this
Chapter 11 case.

INDIANAPOLIS DOWNS: Has Cramdown Confirmation on Oct. 19
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Centaur Gaming Inc. will buy Indianapolis Downs LLC
for $500 million if the bankruptcy judge in Delaware approves the
Chapter 11 reorganization plan at an Oct. 19 confirmation hearing.

According to the report, the plan called for selling the horserace
track and casino 25 miles from Indianapolis if the price were high
enough.  Otherwise, the plan would give ownership mostly to
second-lien lenders.  Second-lien lenders and Fortress Investment
Group LLC reached a settlement that came close to insuring
approval of the plan.  Fortress has about 35% of the second-lien
debt and 90% of the third-lien debt.

The report relates that the compromise calls for the second-lien
creditors to chip in $2.5 million to the third-lien group given
the $500 million sale price with Centaur.  Despite the settlement,
not enough of the third-lien creditors voted in favor of the plan
to avoid using the cramdown process.  In addition, there are other
objections to confirmation of the plan

The report notes cramdown is also required because unsecured
creditors, with claims that may total from $9 million to
$24 million, receive nothing and therefore are treated as voting
as a class against confirmation.  The track missed an interest
payment in November 2010 on $375 million in second-lien notes.

$103 million loan from the existing first-lien lenders, with Wells
Fargo Bank NA as agent.

According to Bloomberg, secured liabilities of the racino include
$98.125 million owing on the first-lien financing, $375 million
outstanding on the second-lien notes and $72.65 million on third-
lien subordinated notes.

LE-NATURE'S INC: High Court Denies Dechert Bid to File Brief
------------------------------------------------------------
Matt Fair at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court on Thursday denied a bid by Dechert LLP and other
firms to file an amicus brief backing K&L Gates LLP's appeal of a
decision allowing a $500 million malpractice case over criminal
fraud at Le-Nature's Inc. to proceed in county court.

                      About Le-Nature's Inc.

L.L. MURPHREY: Court to Reconsider Rule 2004 Order
--------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge J. Rich Leonard granted the request of D.A.N.
Joint Venture III, L.P., for reconsideration of the Court's prior
order allowing the motion of L.L. Murphrey Company and its
officers to quash the order requiring several parties to submit to
Rule 2004 examinations.

L.L. Murphrey Company filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition (Bankr.
E.D.N.C. Case No. 12-03837) on May 21, 2012.  The debtor is an
organization engaged in the operation of swine production
facilities in Greene County, North Carolina.  The debtor
previously filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.C.
Case No. 00-03213) on June 8, 2000.  On July 13, 2001, the Court
entered an order confirming the Debtor's fourth amended plan of
reorganization.

At the time of the 2000 filing, the debtor was in default to
Wachovia Bank, N.A., in the amount of $12,790,522. In the previous
chapter 11 case, Wachovia held personal guarantees against
principals of the debtor, including Doris Murphrey, Larry Barrow,
and Lois M. Barrow.

On July 13, 2001, the court entered an order confirming the
debtor's fourth amended plan of reorganization.  Pursuant to the
confirmed plan, the treatment of Wachovia's claims was divided
into two notes: Note A and Note B. Note A was amortized and in the
amount of $8,000,000 and called for monthly payments of $70,500.
Note B was a cash flow note in the amount of $3,500,000, less any
payments from certain swine sales netting more than $3,000,000,
and provided for an excess cash flow based payment.

On Dec. 23, 2003, a portion of Wachovia's claim was acquired by
CadleRock Joint Venture, L.P., which transferred it to DAN on
Aug. 11, 2008.

Following the debtor's chapter 7 filing, DAN filed a motion
seeking entry of an order directing the debtor and 21 other
entities to appear for examination and produce documents, pursuant
to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 on June 18, 2012.  On June 20, the court
entered an order granting DAN's motion.  Thereafter on July 11,
the debtor and its officers filed a motion to quash the order
granting DAN's motion.

The court conducted a hearing on the motion to quash on July 26,
2012, and entered an order allowing the debtor's motion as to all
parties DAN sought to examine in the debtor's bankruptcy case

On July 23, prior to the hearing and the court's entry of the
order allowing the motion to quash, DAN filed an adversary
proceeding against the debtor, the trustee, Little Bank, Inc.,
Cargill Incorporated, Cargill Animal Nutrition, Sowco, LLC, Branch
Banking and Trust Company and Sideline Farms, LLC to determine the
validity, extent and relative priority of liens these entities
claim against the debtor's property.  Larry Barrow, Lois Barrow
and Murphrey filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Greene
County, North Carolina seeking declaratory relief, pursuant to
N.C. Gen. Stat. Sec. 1-253, et seq. and N.C. Gen. Stat. Sec. 1A-1,
Rule 57, for the purpose of determining the rights and obligations
under the guaranty agreements executed in favor of Wachovia and
subsequently acquired by DAN.

On Aug. 14, 2012, DAN filed the motion for reconsideration.  DAN
made substantial modifications to its initial request for Rule
2004 examinations and the production of documents.  As modified,
the requests are narrower, addressed to fewer entities, and
summarize the scope of the examination and the types of
information sought from each entity.  Both the trustee and the
debtor filed responses objecting to the motion for
reconsideration.

On Sept. 25, 2012, DAN filed a motion to compel the trustee to
prosecute or abandon the alter ego and fraudulent conveyance
claims or authorize DAN to pursue the claims on a derivative
basis.

In granting the motion for reconsideration, Judge Leonard held
that further review reveals that the issues and parties involved
in the pending state court action and adversary proceeding are
discrete and are not related to the information sought by the
modified requests for Rule 2004 examinations made by DAN in its
motion for reconsideration, thus warranting a narrower application
of the pending proceeding rule.  Judge Leonard said DAN will not
be allowed to conduct a Rule 2004 examination of the debtor itself
because it would inevitably require the trustee to appear on
behalf of the debtor; however, it will be permitted to conduct
Rule 2004 examinations as to the remaining entities in accordance
with those modifications made in its motion for reconsideration.
Furthermore, DAN is directed to supply both the trustee and
counsel for the entity subject to the Rule 2004 examination with
notice and the opportunity to fully participate, thereby thwarting
any issue regarding the admissibility of the testimony provided at
the Rule 2004 examination in subsequent contested matters.

LLS AMERICA: District Judge to Hold Fraudulent Transfer Trial
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a U.S. district judge in Spokane, Washington,
succinctly explained why a fraudulent transfer suit should remain
in bankruptcy court until ready for trial.

According to the report, the case involved a Ponzi scheme where
investors were sued by a trustee to recover payments of principal
and interest.  U.S. District Judge Rosanna Malouf Peterson
partially denied a motion to withdraw the reference, or move the
lawsuit from bankruptcy court to district court.  Judge Peterson
acknowledged under the Supreme Court's Stern v. Marshall ruling
that the bankruptcy court lacks constitutional authority to enter
a final judgment in a fraudulent transfer suit.  "The pretrial
process, including dispositive pretrial motion practice, is best
handled in the bankruptcy court," she said.  She decided to leave
the suit in bankruptcy court until ready for trial to utilize the
"bankruptcy court's expertise in avoidance actions."

The Bloomberg report discloses that to promote judicial economy,
Judge Peterson said the trial would be conducted in district
court, to avoid "any form of de novo review."  If the bankruptcy
judge were to hold a trial and issue proposed findings of fact and
conclusions of law, Judge Peterson said she might be obliged to
hold the trial a second time.

The case is Kreigman v. Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (In re LLS
America LLC), 12-486, U.S. District Court, Eastern District
Washington (Spokane).

MALUHIA DEVELOPMENT: Oct. 31 Deadline to Win Plan Outline Approval
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
signed an agreed order extending Maluhia Development Group, LLC's
deadline to obtain:

   -- approval of the adequacy of a disclosure statement until
      Oct. 31, 2012; and

   -- confirmation of a plan of reorganization until Nov. 31,
      2012.

The Debtor, in its motion, related that on June 15, 2012, the
Court entered the deadline order requiring the Debtor to file a
plan by July 6, or its case will be converted to Chapter 7.  On
July 6, the Debtor filed its proposed Disclosure Statement and
Plan.

The Debtor noted that the deadline order did not set a deadline
for the approval of the Debtor's Disclosure Statement, but based
on the discussion at the hearing, the Debtor believes that the
Court intended the deadline to be Aug. 6.

The Debtor requested that the deadline for approval of Debtor's
Disclosure Statement be extended beyond Aug. 6, to coincide with
the agreed Oct. 31, RM Realty Group, LLC and Peter R. Morris
disclosure statement approval deadline.

The Debtor also requested that the deadline to confirm Debtor's
Plan be extended beyond Sept. 6, 2012, to coincide with the agreed
Nov. 31, 2012 PRM and Morris plan confirmation deadline.

                             The Plan

According to the Disclosure Statement dated July 6, 2012, the Plan
provides for a reorganization of all liabilities owed by Debtor.
The Reorganized Debtor will prosecute the Huang Arbitration and
Maui Builders Litigation from proceeds to be received by PRM
Realty Group, LLC and Peter R. Morris as exit financing for their
plans of reorganization.

The Debtor proposed this treatment of claims:

   -- The claim of Maui Self Storage will be paid by the
      reorganized debtor, up to the allowed amount of the claim,
      plus interest at the rate of 4.5% per annum accrued thereon
      within five years of the effective date from the proceeds
      from the sale of House 10 FF&E or the proceeds of the Huang
      Arbitration or the Maui Builders Litigation.

   -- The claim of Puritan Finance Corporation will be treated as
      a fully Secured Claim in an amount to be determined by the
      Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, or as
      otherwise agreed to prior to the hearing by the Debtor and
      Puritan.

   -- Creditors holding allowed general unsecured claims will
      receive 100% of their allowed claims from the proceeds from
      the sale of House 10 FF&E or the proceeds of the Huang
      Arbitration and/or the Maui Builders Litigation, after
      Equity Owner Peter Morris will retain his interest in
      Debtor, in exchange for providing for funding of the Plan
      and his commitment to use his skill, effort, and experience
      to prosecute the Huang Arbitration and the Maui Builders
      Litigation.

MATTRESS HOLDING: Moody's Affirms B2 CFR; Rates Facilities B1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to Mattress Holding
Corp.'s new senior secured credit facilities consisting of a $70
million revolver and a $227 million term loan. At the same time,
Moody's affirmed all other existing ratings of Mattress Firm
Holding Corporation (Mattress Firm), parent of Mattress Holding
Corp, including the B2 corporate family rating, the B2 probability
of default rating, and the speculative grade liquidity rating of
SGL-2. The outlook is stable.

The dollar-for-dollar refinancing is leverage neutral but credit
positive as it extends the company's debt maturities and increases
the capacity under its revolver. However, the improvement in
Mattress Firm's liquidity is not sufficient to prompt any change
in the rating or outlook because of the company's still moderately
high debt leverage, concerns around continued weakness in consumer
spending, and potential disruptions from the recent mergers among
the mattress manufacturers. As the company anniversaries the
recent acquisitions and continues to grow organically through
store openings and same store sales growth, Moody's expects
leverage to gradually head towards the rating agency's stated
upgrade trigger barring any significant deterioration in consumer
spending.

The refinancing will extend a portion of the term loan by two
years to January 2016 from January 2014. Moody's expects the
company's cash flow and revolver availability to comfortably cover
the unextended term loan tranche which matures in January 2014.
The transaction will double the company's revolver capacity to $70
million from $35 million and extend the maturity through January
2015 from January 2013. Moody's expects the company to maintain
good near term liquidity provided by cash flow generation and
ample availability under the upsized revolver.

The ratings are contingent upon the transaction closing as
proposed, and the receipt and review of final documentation.

Ratings assigned for Mattress Holding Corp.:

- $70 million senior secured revolving credit facility rating of
   B1 (LGD3, 40%)

- $227 million senior secured term loan rating of B1 (LGD3, 40%)

Ratings Affirmed for Mattress Firm Holding Corp.:

- Corporate family rating of B2

- Probability of default rating of B2

- Speculative grade liquidity rating of SGL-2

The following ratings for Mattress Holding Corp. will be withdrawn
upon closing of the refinance:

- $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility rating of
   B1 (LGD3, 39%)

- $227 million senior secured term loan rating of B1 (LGD3, 39%)

Ratings Rationale

The B2 corporate family rating reflects the company's moderately
high debt leverage, it's still modest scale, narrow geographic
footprint as a regionally concentrated retail chain, its limited
product diversification as a specialty retailer, and its
aggressive growth strategies. Its susceptibility to cyclical
factors that impact discretionary consumer spending is also a
rating constraint. At the same time, the rating is supported by
the company's good liquidity (as denoted in the SGL-2), its
competitive position within its markets of operation, and its
expected improvements in its credit metrics.

The stable outlook incorporates Moody's expectation for modest
credit metric improvements over the next 12 to 18 months despite
continued macroeconomic uncertainty. The outlook also reflects
Moody's expectations that Mattress Firm will continue to grow
sales and earnings through new store expansion and comparable
sales growth.

Moody's would consider an upgrade with expectations for
debt/EBITDA sustained below 4.75 times and EBITA/interest expense
sustained above 2.25 times for a prolonged period while
maintaining good liquidity. Debt/EBITDA was 5.1 times as of July
31, 2012.

Downward rating pressures will rise if macro economic factors and
consumer spending deteriorate such that same store sales or
margins decline. Ratings could be downgraded if debt/EBITDA was
sustained above 6.5 times, EBITA/interest expense fell below 1.25
times, or liquidity materially eroded for any reason.

The principal methodology used in rating Mattress Firm Holding
Corp. was the Global Retail Industry Methodology published in June
2011. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Mattress Firm Holding Corp. is a specialty retailer of
conventional and specialty mattresses, with over 1,000 of its own
stores (including the recently acquired 180 Mattress Giant stores
and 35 Mattress XPress stores) and over 100 franchise stores. The
company's stores are mostly in the Southern and Midwestern United
States primarily operated under the Mattress Firm banner. Revenues
for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2012 were about $840
million. The company is publicly traded but J.W. Childs owns about
54%. Mattress Holding Corp. is the sole operating entity of
Mattress Firm and the borrower under bank credit facilities.


MF GLOBAL: PricewaterhouseCoopers Tries to Stop From Being Sued
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP believes the bankruptcy
judge made a mistake when he authorized plaintiffs in class-action
suits to sue the former accountants for MF Global Inc., the
liquidating commodity broker.  New York-based PwC wants the judge
to hold up enforcement of his order while the accounting firm
appeals.

According to the report, in August the trustee for the brokerage
worked out an arrangement where he will allow the class-action
plaintiffs to bring lawsuits against former officer, directors and
others.  The bankruptcy judge approved the arrangement on Oct. 11.
PwC appealed the next day.  PwC doesn't want the claim-prosecution
agreement held up entirely.  PwC only wants the bankruptcy judge
to stop that part of the agreement allowing class plaintiffs to
sue the accountants.

The report relates that PwC points to provisions in the engagement
agreement saying that MF Global is prohibited from transferring
the right to sue.  The bankruptcy court found the provision not
applicable in bankruptcy.  The arrangement with class-action
plaintiffs calls for recoveries in the lawsuits to be turned over
the brokerage's trustee for distribution under the Securities
Investor Protection Act.

The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority posted on its Web site its
Slot Machine Statistical Report for Mohegan Sun containing
statistics relating to slot handle, gross slot win, gross slot
hold percentage, slot win contribution, free promotional slot play
contribution and weighted average number of slot machines.  The
Slot Machine Statistical Report includes these statistics on a

               About Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority

Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority -- http://www.mtga.com/-- is an
instrumentality of the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut, or
the Tribe, a federally-recognized Indian tribe with an
approximately 507-acre reservation situated in Southeastern
Connecticut, adjacent to Uncasville, Connecticut.  The Authority
has been granted the exclusive authority to conduct and regulate
gaming activities on the existing reservation of the Tribe,
including the operation of Mohegan Sun, a gaming and entertainment
complex located on a 185-acre site on the Tribe's reservation.
Through its subsidiary, Downs Racing, L.P., the Authority also
owns and operates Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, a gaming and
entertainment facility located on a 400-acre site in Plains
Township, Pennsylvania, and several off-track wagering facilities
located elsewhere in Pennsylvania.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in Hartford, Connecticut, expressed
substantial doubt about the Authority's ability to continue as a
going concern following the 2011 annual report.  The independent
auditors noted that of the Authority's total debt of $1.6 billion
as of Sept. 30, 2011, $811.1 million matures within the next
twelve months, including $535.0 million outstanding under the
Authority's Bank Credit Facility which matures on March 9, 2012,
and the Authority's $250.0 million 2002 8% Senior Subordinated
Notes which mature on April 1, 2012.  In addition, a substantial
amount of the Authority's other outstanding indebtedness matures
over the following three fiscal years.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.22 billion
in total assets, $2.01 billion in total liabilities and $207.83
million in total capital.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 14, 2012, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating on Uncasville,
Conn.-based Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA) to 'B-' from
'SD'.

"The upgrade to 'B-' reflects our reassessment of the Authority's
capital structure following the completion of its comprehensive
debt refinancing plan," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Melissa Long.  "While the completed transactions were not a de-
leveraging event, the post-exchange capital structure
substantially reduced MTGA's debt maturities over the next few
years," S&P said.

In the March 2, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors
Service revised Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority's Probability of
Default Rating to Caa1\LD from Caa3 following the completion of a
debt exchange transaction which Moody's views as a distressed
exchange.  Concurrently, Moody's raised MTGA's Corporate Family
Rating ("CFR") to Caa1 from Caa3 and revised its rating outlook to
stable from negative to reflect its improved credit profile as a
result of the exchange and recent debt covenant amendments.


MOMENTIVE PERFORMANCE: Moody's Rates $1.1BB First Lien Notes 'B1'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to the $1.1 billion
guaranteed senior secured first lien notes due 2020 issued by
wholly owned subsidiaries of Momentive Performance Material's Inc.
(MPM) -- MPM Escrow LLC and MPM Finance Escrow Corp. Once the
proceeds from the new notes are released from escrow, they will be
assumed by MPM and used to repay $80 million outstanding under its
existing revolver, retire $742 million in US Dollar and Euro
denominated term loans, and tender for $200 million guaranteed
senior secured second lien notes due 2014. This transaction will
also add a modest amount of cash to MPM's balance sheet. In
conjunction with this debt issuance MPM will replace its existing
revolver and letter of credit facility with a $300 million asset
backed lending (ABL) facility. The company's outlook is stable.

"The successful issuance of this debt would be a credit positive
and substantially improve the company's liquidity," stated John
Rogers, Senior Vice President at Moody's. "However, market sector
fundamentals will cause MPM's financial performance to remain
extremely weak through 2013."

The outlook is stable.

* Ratings will likely be withdrawn upon the issuance of the new
  debt.

Please note that the LGD rating assessments above may change
depending on the amount of new debt issued.

Ratings Rationale

Proceeds from the new notes will be released from escrow once MPM
has (i) closed upon the ABL or amended its existing credit
facility to allow the sharing of collateral; (ii) repaid the
existing second line notes; and (iii) the security documents
creating liens and intercreditor agreement has been executed.
These new first lien secured notes will have a first priority lien
on all property and assets of MPM's guarantor subsidiaries,
excluding the Japanese intercompany loan and the ABL collateral.
The ABL collateral will include the accounts receivable and
inventory of its US, UK, Canadian and German subsidiaries. In
addition the ABL will also have a first lien on the fixed assets
of the German subsidiary. The notes will have a second priority
lien on the ABL collateral with the exception of the German fixed
assets..

MPM's Caa1 CFR reflects the expectation that the company's
financial performance will remain weak though 2013 with EBITDA
remaining below $300 million and credit metrics that are
particularly poor -- Debt/EBITDA of over 10x (excluding the holdco
debt) and negative free cash flow. The company's sharp decline in
financial performance over the past year is a direct result of new
industry capacity and weaker than anticipated demand in key
downstream markets (automotive, construction and electronics). As
of June 30, 2012 the company's credit metrics were extremely weak
with Debt/EBITDA of 16.8x (13.7x excluding the holdco debt),
negative Retained Cash Flow/Debt (RDF/Debt) and Free Cash
Flow/Debt (FCF/Debt). Credit metrics are expected to decline
further in the third quarter and then improve modestly in the
fourth quarter.

The aforementioned ratios reflect Moody's Global Standard
Adjustments, which include the capitalization of pensions and
operating leases, as well as MPM's HoldCo PIK debt (the PIK debt
has a value of $720 million at June 30, 2012 and is accreting at
11% per year, or roughly $80 million/year).

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that the company may
be able to complete the planned debt issuance, which will greatly
improve its liquidity. However, if the company's is unable to
complete the planned debt issuance, the ratings could be lowered
as availability under the existing revolver is expected to decline
below $200 million in the third quarter of 2012. Moody's expects
that the company will continue to reduce costs and take additional
actions to improve its financial performance over the next year.
An upgrade is extremely unlikely until MPM is able to raise its
EBITDA above $450 million per year. Moody's would also look for
FCF/Debt above 2% and RCF/Debt above 6% on a sustainable basis.

The SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating reflects the
expectation for negative free cash flow through 2013. The addition
of $36 million to the balance sheet from this debt issuance plus
the increased availability under the new ABL facility should
provide enough additional room to manage through the current
difficult operating environment, even though MPM's recovery is
progressing slower than previously expected. MPM's liquidity would
be supported by a pro forma cash balance of $143 million and pro
forma revolver availability of $300 million. There are no
financial covenants under the new ABL facility until availability
falls below $30 million. If the company is unable to complete the
planned debt issuance, its speculative grade liquidity rating
would be lowered to SGL-4.

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

Momentive Performance Materials Inc., headquartered in Albany, New
York, is the second largest producer of silicones and silicone
derivatives worldwide. The company has two divisions: silicones
(which accounted for roughly 90% of revenues) and quartz. Revenues
were roughly $2.5 billion for the LTM ending June 30, 2012.


NORTEK INC: Moody's Assigns 'Caa1' Rating to "Add-On" Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B3 corporate family rating
and B3 probability of default ratings of Nortek, Inc. and upgraded
the speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3. In a
related rating action, Moody's changed Nortek's rating outlook to
positive from stable. Moody's also assigned a Caa1 rating to the
company's proposed "add-on" senior unsecured notes due 2021,
increasing these notes to $735 million from $500 million. Proceeds
from the "add-on" note issuance will be used to repay an equal
amount of indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured term
loan due 2017, and cash on hand will be used to pay related fees
and expenses. Moody's also upgraded the senior secured term loan
due 2017 to Ba3 from B1.

The following ratings/assessments were affected by these actions:

  Corporate Family Rating affirmed at B3;

  Probability of Default Rating affirmed at B3;

  1st lien Sr. Sec. Term Loan due 2017 upgraded to Ba3 (LGD2,
  16%) from B1 (LGD2, 26%);

  10.0% Sr. Unsec. Notes due 2018 affirmed at Caa1 (LGD4, 64%);

  8.5% Sr. Unsec. Notes due 2021 affirmed at Caa1 (LGD4, 64%);
  and,

  8.5% Sr. Unsec. "add-on" Notes due 2021 assigned Caa1 (LGD4,
  64%).

Speculative grade liquidity rating upgraded to SGL-2 from SGL-3.

Ratings Rationale

The change in Nortek's rating outlook to positive from stable
reflects the enhanced liquidity and improvement in the company's
maturity profile. The proposed partial refinancing of Nortek's
senior secured term loan due 2017 with proceeds from the "add-on"
to the senior unsecured notes due 2021 substantially reduces
potential refinancing risks in 2017, as only $94 million of the
term loan will remain outstanding. Nortek will have no significant
maturities until June 2017, when the company's revolving credit
facility matures. The positive rating outlook also incorporates
Moody's views that key credit metrics will improve over the next
18 months, as Nortek benefits from the recovery in its end
markets, and reaps the benefits from improved operations and
working capital efficiencies.

Despite expectations of better operating performance, Nortek has a
highly leveraged capital structure, and this remains a key driver
of its B3 corporate family rating. For the 12 months ended June
30, 2012, debt-to-EBITDA was approximately 5.5x, and debt-to-book
capitalization was about 86%, and Moody's expects these metrics to
remain weak as the proposed refinancing will result in minimal
debt reduction. Interest coverage, defined as EBITA-to-interest
expense was approximately 1.75x over the same period, and is
likely to fall slightly on a pro forma basis, as the proposed
'add-on" Notes will carry a higher coupon than the existing bank
debt (all ratios incorporate Moody's standard accounting
adjustments). Also, Nortek has significant negative tangible
worth. The corporate family rating also reflects Moody's concerns
regarding the company's strong reliance on the non-residential and
commercial construction sectors. Although increased activity in
the US construction sector contributed to strong year-over-year
results for the first half of 2012, demand remains low relative to
past cyclical peaks and a second downturn could quickly reverse
this trend.

The upgrade of Nortek's speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-
2 from SGL-3 reflects Moody's expectations that Nortek's earnings
will increase from revenue growth, improved operational
efficiencies and better working capital management, which should
translate into higher levels of free cash flow over the 12 months.
Due to seasonality in its businesses, Nortek usually experiences
negative free cash flow in the first half of the year, but
typically generates the greatest amount of positive free cash flow
in its third quarter. Moody's also expects availability under
Nortek's $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility will
be sufficient to meet seasonal working capital and capital
expenditure demands. The revolver remains undrawn as of September
30, 2012, with remaining availability estimated at $272 million
after accounting for $14 million in letter of credit commitments.
Aggregate availability is further reduced due to an availability
threshold.

The upgrade of the 1st lien Senior Secured Term Loan due 2017 to
Ba3 from B1 reflects the expected substantial prepayment of almost
75% of the outstanding balance. The new rating, which is three
notches above the corporate family rating, also reflects the
facility's position in Nortek's debt capital structure, as it
benefits from approximately $985 million of more junior debt in
the capital structure.

The ratings could be upgraded if Nortek is able to demonstrate the
ability to consistently generate meaningful levels of earnings and
free cash flow. A reduction in balance sheet debt or improvement
in profitability resulting in debt-to-EBITDA below 5.0x or EBITA-
to-interest expense in excess of 2.0x could result in an upgrade
(all ratios incorporate Moody's standard accounting adjustments).

The ratings could come under pressure if Nortek's financial
performance begins to weaken, if it engages in debt-financed
acquisitions, or if its liquidity profile were to deteriorate.
Debt-to-EBITDA nearing 7.0x, EBITA-to-interest expense sustained
below 1.25x, or dividends to shareholders could result in negative
rating actions.

The principal methodology used in rating Nortek Inc. was the
Global Manufacturing 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.

Nortek, Inc. is a diversified manufacturer of branded, residential
and commercial building products. Its products include residential
ventilation products, technology products, and air conditioning
and heating products for residential and commercial applications.
Ares Management LLC, through its respective funds, is Nortek's
largest shareholder. Revenues for the 12 months through June 30,
2012 totaled approximately $2.2 billion.

NEOGENIX ONCOLOGY: Gets Final OK to Incur $3.2 Million DIP Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Thomas J. Catliota of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Maryland authorized, on a final basis, Neogenix
Oncology, Inc., to obtain postpetition financing in the amount of
$3,235,000 and enter into a secured, superpriority debtor-in-
possession loan and security agreement, from Precision Biologics,
Inc., as lender.

The Debtor was unable to obtain unsecured credit sufficient to
finance the operations of the Debtor's business on terms more
favorable than those offered by the DIP Lender.

The DIP Lender has indicated a willingness to extend the DIP Loan,
but only on the terms and conditions, including the roll-up of the
Debtor's obligations under the Prepetition Loan Documents into the
obligations under the DIP Loan Agreement.  The roll-up is a
necessary component to the DIP Loan Agreement and will ensure the
Debtor's access to sufficient liquidity for working capital and
general corporate purposes to fund day-to-day operations.

As adequate protection from any diminution in value of the
lender's collateral, the Debtor  will grant the lender, liens,
security interests, superpriority claims, subject to carve out on
certain expenses.

The DIP Lender will also have the right to credit bid the
obligations for any or all of the collateral at a sale, lease or
other disposition of the collateral outside the ordinary course of
business, whether pursuant to a plan of reorganization or a motion
pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

As reported in the TCR on April 18, 2012, Baker Tilly Hong Kong

NORTEK INC: S&P Affirms 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Providence, R.I.-based Nortek Inc. The rating
outlook is stable.

"We assigned our 'B' issue-level rating (the same as the corporate
credit rating) to Nortek's proposed $235 million add-on to its
existing $500 million 8.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021. We
expect the notes to be issued at a premium and for Nortek to raise
$250 million of gross proceeds. The recovery rating is '4',
indicating our expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery for
lenders in the event of a payment default," S&P said.

The company intends to use the proceeds from its proposed add-on
offering to prepay a portion of its existing term loan.

"The rating on Nortek Inc. reflects our view of the company's
'highly leveraged' financial risk, given our expectations that
leverage is likely to remain about 5x over the next several
quarters," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Tobias Crabtree.
"The ratings also reflect what we consider to be Nortek's 'fair'
business risk profile because we believe the company has leading
positions in diverse product lines, such as kitchen range hoods
and exhaust fans. Nortek's considerable exposure to challenging
residential and nonresidential construction end markets somewhat
offsets these positions. The ratings also reflect our view of the
company's 'adequate' liquidity position as a result of its
favorable debt maturity profile," S&P said.

"Under our baseline scenario, we forecast Nortek to generate
annual EBITDA of between $230 million to $240 million in 2012 and
2013, compared with approximately $240 million earned for the
trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2012. Nortek is a manufacturer
and distributor of residential and commercial ventilation, HVAC,
display mounts, and technology products. Following acquisitions
completed in 2011, the company's technology products and display
mounts segments sales, which serve diverse end markets such as
health care and education, account for more than 30% of total
sales and have somewhat reduced the company's exposure to
challenging residential construction markets," S&P said.

"The stable rating outlook reflects our opinion that Nortek will
generate positive free cash flow and maintain credit measures in
line with its recent levels despite our expectation for weak
repair and remodeling activity over the next year. Based on EBITDA
of approximately $230 million in 2012, we expect leverage to be
about 5x, a level that's in line with our view of the company's
highly leveraged financial risk profile and the rating given its
fair business risk profile. In addition, our outlook reflects our
view that the company's liquidity position is likely to remain
adequate based on its favorable debt maturity profile," S&P said.

"We could take a negative rating action if EBITDA were to decline
more than 25% from our projected 2013 level because of another
recession and reduced construction activity or rapidly rising raw
material costs. For a lower rating, leverage would likely have to
be sustained above 7x," S&P said.

"At this time, we believe a positive rating action is unlikely
given our expectations for leverage to be maintained at 5x
throughout the next several quarters. Still, if EBITDA were to
improve at least 15% from 2013's anticipated level then we could
consider a higher rating. This could occur if, or example, a much
greater-than-expected recovery in residential construction
activity resulted in leverage being maintained between 4x and 5x,"
S&P said.


NORTHAMPTON GENERATING: Files Sixth Exclusivity Motion
------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that although Northampton Generating Co. has been
receiving extension of exclusive plan-filing rights in one-month
increments, the Debtor filed papers last week seeking a two-month
extension.

According to the report, the newest exclusivity motion is
Northampton's sixth.  If granted at a Nov. 13 hearing in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Charlotte, North Carolina, the deadline will
become Jan. 18.  The company once again said it's continuing to
analyze options regarding a reorganization plan.

                   About Northampton Generating

Northampton Generating Co. LP is the owner of a 112 megawatt
electric generating plant in Northampton, Pennsylvania.  The plant

Northampton Generating filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr.
W.D.N.C. Case No. 11-33095) on Dec. 5, 2011.  Hillary B. Crabtree,
Esq., and Luis Manuel Lluberas, Esq., at Moore & Van Allen PLLC,

NP OPCO: S&P Gives 'B+' Rating on $775MM Secured Credit Facility
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Station Casinos LLC
(Station) subsidiaries NP Opco LLC (Opco) and Station GVR
Acquisition LLC's (GVR) $775 million senior secured credit
facility (OPCO/GVR facility) its 'B+' issue-level rating with a
recovery rating of '2', indicating S&P's expectation of
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default.

"The facility consists of a $200 million senior secured revolving
credit facility due 2017 and a $575 million senior secured term
loan due 2019. The company used proceeds from the issuance to
repay its existing credit facilities at Opco and GVR. As part of
the transaction Station plans to merge GVR into Opco. However,
until regulatory approvals are granted, GVR and Opco will be co-
borrowers under the credit agreement," S&P said.

"The corporate credit rating reflects our assessment of Station's
business risk profile as 'weak' and our assessment of the
company's financial risk profile as 'highly leveraged,' according
to our criteria," S&P said.

"We incorporate the credit quality of the consolidated Station
Casinos LLC portfolio of properties and assets into our rating,
despite the fact that different operating subsidiaries secure
different pieces of the capital structure," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Halchak.

"Given our perception of the strategic relationships between these
entities and their common management and ownership, we expect
management will make decisions regarding operating and financial
strategies with a view toward the collective group of companies.
We believe that if a payment default were to occur on Station's
credit facilities or notes (the Propco debt) or at one of its
subsidiaries, including NP Opco LLC (Opco) or Station GVR
Acquisition LLC (GVR), management would consider alternatives
regarding the capital structure of the consolidated group, which
would likely include a comprehensive restructuring or a bankruptcy
filing," S&P said.


NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Affirms 'Ba2' CFR; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Nuance Communications Inc.'s
Ba2 corporate family rating, Baa2 ratings on its senior secured
facilities and Ba3 ratings on its pending upsized senior unsecured
notes. Nuance is adding $350 million on to its existing unsecured
notes for general corporate purposes including acquisitions and
repayment of $144 million of secured debt. The ratings outlook is
stable.

Ratings Rationale

The company recently announced the acquisition of healthcare
software and systems providers, JA Thomas and Quantim. The
companies extend Nuance's breadth of healthcare offering into the
clinical documentation and coding segments and should raise
Nuance's overall profile within the healthcare industry. Though
full seem-less integration of firms' product lines is likely years
off, the combination should provide some near term technology
cross pollination and leveraging of each parties customer base.

Though debt to EBITDA, pro forma for the add-on and pending
acquisitions is estimated to exceed 5x, Moody's expects leverage
will fall to 3.5x - 4x by the end of 2013 through organic growth
in EBITDA and further acquisitions. Cash balances post closing of
the debt issuance and acquisitions are expected to exceed $1
billion, as the company's strong liquidity somewhat balances the
temporarily high leverage. Free cash flow to debt is also expected
to remain strong at approximately 13% at close and increasing
towards 20% by the end of 2013.

Nuance's Ba2 corporate family rating reflects its leading position
within the voice recognition industry, the favorable growth
profile of the company and industry and the strong cash flow
generating capabilities of company. The ratings remain tempered by
the company's acquisition appetite as it attempts to further
build-out its portfolio of speech recognition applications and
services. The ratings contemplate that the company will continue
to use a mix of cash, debt and stock to finance acquisitions. As a
result of debt funded acquisitions, Moody's expects leverage will
occasionally exceed 3.5x but will return to those levels fairly
shortly thereafter. The ratings could face downward pressure if
leverage exceeds 4x on an extended basis or the company is unable
to demonstrate effectiveness at integrating acquisitions. Though
the acquisition appetite will likely restrain the ratings over the
near to medium term, as the company gets larger and subsequent
acquisitions have a smaller impact on the whole, the ratings could
be raised to the extent Nuance maintains market leadership
positions, successfully integrates the ongoing acquisitions, de-
levers and continues to produce strong free cash flow.

Adjustments:

  Issuer: Nuance Communications, Inc.

    Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, adjusted to LGD 1, 06%
    from LGD 2, 11%

    Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, adjusted to LGD 4,
    62% from LGD 4, 67%

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

Nuance Communications, Inc., headquartered in Burlington, MA, is a
leading provider of speech, text and imaging solutions for
business and consumers. The company had revenues of $1.6 billion
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012.


NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Rating on $350MM Add-on
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' issue-level
rating on Nuance Communication's $350 million add-on senior
unsecured notes due 2020. The '4' recovery rating on the company's
senior unsecured notes remains unchanged.

"The '4' recovery rating indicates expectations for average (30%-
50%) recovery in the event of a payment default. The company
intends to use the proceeds from the $350 million senior unsecured
notes to repay approximately $144 million of senior secured first-
lien term loan due 2013 and for general corporate purposes. The
remaining first-lien term loan outstanding is $493 million and is
due 2016," S&P said.

"The 'BB+' rating on the company's first-lien credit facilities
and the '1' recovery rating on that debt remain unchanged,
reflecting our expectation for very high (90%-100%) recovery in
the event of a payment default," S&P said.

"Our 'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on Nuance
Communications also remain unchanged. Standard & Poor's continues
to view Nuance Communications' financial risk profile as
'significant,' highlighted by its acquisitions growth strategy.
Pro forma for the proposed $350 million senior unsecured note
issuance, operating lease-adjusted total debt to EBITDA will be
in the low-5x at close, high for a 'significant' financial risk
profile and primarily a result of deferred revenue recognition
from recent acquisitions not allowed according to GAAP. We expect
leverage to decline to 4x or below over the next year, as deferred
revenue from recent acquisitions is recognized, and as Nuance
Communications generates revenue and EBITDA growth organically and
through contributions from potential future acquisitions," S&P
said.

Nuance Communications is a provider of voice and language
solutions for businesses and consumers globally.

OLDE PRAIRIE: CenterPoint Withdraws Case Transfer Bid
-----------------------------------------------------
CenterPoint Properties Trust notified the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of Illinois of its withdrawal of a
motion to transfer the Chapter 11 case of Olde PrairieBlock Owner
LLC to Chief Judge Bruce W. Black for the purpose of reassigning
the case to the Hon. Jack B. Schmetterer, who presided over the
Debtor's previous chapter 11 proceeding.  The case is presently
assigned to the Hon. Pamela S. Hollis.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 27, 2012,
CenterPoint said the Chapter 22 filing was made on the eve of the
foreclosure sale of the Debtor's property.  According to
CenterPoint, the case involves a two-party dispute between the
Debtor and CenterPoint, its only secured creditor, who holds a
claim of more than $70 million secured by the Debtor's assets.
The Debtor has no employees or operations.  It has no business to
reorganize, and has been stripped of its rights to collect rents
from, possess, administer, or manage its most significant asset --
a failed hospitality development after 14 years of trying -- by
the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois presiding over
foreclosure proceedings initiated by CenterPoint in 2009.

The Debtor filed its first chapter 11 case on May 18, 2010 -- a
day before the Circuit Court was to rule on a summary judgment
motion filed by CenterPoint in the foreclosure proceeding.  After
23 months and six failed attempts by the Debtor to confirm a plan
of reorganization, on April 17, 2012, the Judge Schmetterer
dismissed the case and lifted the automatic stay to permit
CenterPoint to proceed against the Debtor in the pending
foreclosure action.

The Circuit Court entered a judgment in favor of CenterPoint in
the foreclosure proceedings on Aug. 13, 2012 and a foreclosure
sale was scheduled for Sept. 24, 2012.  According to CenterPoint,
on the last business day before the foreclosure sale, the Debtor
filed the chapter 22 case as a last-ditch effort to frustrate
CenterPoint's legitimate efforts to enforce its rights and collect
on its debt.  Despite having more than two years since its
original bankruptcy filing on May 18, 2010, the Debtor still has
not submitted any plan of reorganization, let alone a confirmable
plan with a financing commitment to fund payment of CenterPoint's
claim in full.

CenterPoint said it intends to file a motion seeking dismissal of
the Debtor's case. CenterPoint said Judge Schmetterer became
intimately familiar with the facts relevant to a dismissal
decision in presiding over the Debtor's first bankruptcy case.

According to CenterPoint, there is no reason for the Court now to
undertake a fresh review of a two-party dispute that has spanned
more than three years. Moreover, transfer of the case to Judge
Schmetterer will provide for an expedited resolution of this
matter and, if dismissal is granted, will permit CenterPoint to
proceed with the foreclosure sale on schedule without having to
re-notice the sale at additional cost.  Prompt dismissal also will
minimize further interest accrual of nearly $1,000,000 per month
in favor of CenterPoint.

CenterPoint noted that, if the foreclosure sale is not commenced
by Nov. 23, 2012, the soonest the next sale could be commenced is
January 2013.  With interest on CenterPoint's claim accruing at
the rate of $32,095.21 per day or $962,856.00 for a 30 day month,
time is of the essence.

Olde Prairie Block Owner, LLC, filed a bare-bones Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 12-37599) in Chicago on Sept.
2012, disclosing assets of $97 million in assets and $80.6 million
in liabilities in its schedules.  The Debtor owns two properties:
(i) the Old Prairie Property, a 53,575 square foot parcel that has
a building and a gravel paved lot at E. Cermak Road in Chicago,
and (ii) the Lakeside Property, a 159,960 square-feet property
that contains buildings in Chicago.

The Debtor said CenterPoint Properties Trust has a disputed claim
of $70.8 million, of which $63.3 million is secured.  JMB Capital
Partners is owed $3.4 million on account of DIP financing in a
previous Chapter 11 case.

Olde Prairie Block first sought chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D.
Ill. Case No. 10-22668) on May 18, 2010.  Two years later, the
bankruptcy judge in Chicago dismissed the case and granted
Centerpoint's motion to lift automatic stay to permit its state-
court foreclosure action to proceed.

In the prior case, the Debtor was represented by John Ruskusky,
Esq., George R. Mesires, Esq., and Patrick F. Ross, Esq., at

PAIN MANAGEMENT: Clawback Suit Against Bank Survives Dismissal Bid
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Anthony J. Metz III denied the request of
Heartland Bank and Trust Company to dismiss Count I of the
clawback lawsuit filed by the trustee of the unsecured creditor
trust established under the confirmed Chapter 11 plan of Pain
Management Center of Southern Indiana, P.C.

In the lawsuit, Official Unsecured Creditors' Committee and Ayres
Carr & Sullivan, P.C. as Trustee of the Unsecured Creditor Trust
Plaintiff v. Heartland Bank and Trust Company, Kamal K. Tiwari,
And Marisha, LLC. Defendants, Adv. Proc. No. 10-50526 (Bankr. S.D.
Ind.), the Plaintiffs filed their Amended Complaint to Set Aside
Fraudulent Transfers on March 28, 2012, of which Count I seeks to
avoid as a fraudulent transfer the security interest granted to
Western Springs National Bank, and now held by successor
Heartland.  The Amended Complaint alleges that in October 2006,
Western Springs and Pain Management entered into a business loan
agreement wherein Western Springs agreed to make advances to Pain
Management for working capital and for Kamal K. Tiwari, the sole
shareholder of Pain Management, in the amount of $2,000,000.  In
exchange for the Loan, Pain Management granted Western Springs a
security interest in its equipment, inventory, accounts and all of
its other property.  The Amended Complaint alleges that at least
$1,500,000 of the loan proceeds were transferred to a bank account
in Tiwari's name for which Tiwari used for personal investment or
other personal expenditures. Depending on whether Western Springs
disbursed the funds to Pain Management (who in turn disbursed the
funds to Tiwari) or whether Western Springs disbursed the funds to
Tiwari directly, the Plaintiffs alleged that the taking of a
security interest in substantially all of Pain Management's assets
was a transfer that is avoidable under Sec. 548(a)(1))(B).

Pain Management Center of Southern Indiana, P.C., Pain Management
& Surgery Center of Southern Indiana, Inc., and Comprehensive
Spine Care, P.C. Debtors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr.
S.D. Ind. Case Nos. 08-10555, 08-10560, 08-10557) in 2008.  The
Debtors filed their chapter 11 plan on Aug. 27, 2008.  Western
Springs filed a proof of secured claim for $2,014,679 on Sept. 24,
2008 to which there was no objection.  An unsecured creditors'
committee was formed and the Court approved employment of its
counsel.

The Debtors' chapter 11 plan was confirmed on Dec. 21, 2009.  The
Plan provided that an "Unsecured Creditor Trust" was to be
established for the benefit of the unsecured creditor class 7 and
funded by the "Tiwari Contribution" which was defined as the
lesser of $250,000 or 60% of the allowed claims of Class 7.  The
Trust would be managed by the Unsecured Creditor Trustee.  Tiwari
was to execute a promissory note evidencing the terms and
conditions of his obligations under the Tiwari Contribution.
Payments of the Tiwari Note were secured by Tiwari's pledge of
stock in the reorganized Debtors.

Article 5.1 of the Plan provided in part that the Debtors did not
anticipate pursuing any avoidance actions and that the Committee
was waiving its right to compel the Debtors to bring such
avoidance actions or to bring such actions on its own.  Article
5.2, however, carved out an exception to Article 5.1 in that it
provided that the Debtors and the Committee specifically preserved
and reserved all rights to bring avoidance actions against Tiwari
and Western Springs and that only the Committee could bring such
actions in the event Tiwari defaulted on his payments under the
Tiwari Note.

As provided for in the Article 5.2 carveout, the Committee filed
the adversary proceeding and its initial fraudulent transfer
complaint against Western Springs and Tiwari on Aug. 26, 2010.

On Dec. 1, 2010, in the main bankruptcy case, the Debtors moved to
sell their assets to Certified Surgeons, Inc., for $140,000.
Western Springs objected on the basis that it had a first priority
perfected security interest in the assets and that it therefore
had the right to credit bid its interest at sale.  Western Springs
submitted its credit bid in the amount of $100,000 and was
determined to be the successful bidder at the sale.

On Feb. 28, 2011, the Court approved the sale of the Debtor's
assets to Western Springs.  Four days later, a previously filed
and pending motion to dismiss or convert filed by the United
States Trustee was granted and the case converted to chapter 7.

Less than two months after Western Springs bought the Debtors'
assets, it was closed and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation was appointed receiver. Heartland and the FDIC entered
into a purchase agreement on April 8, 2011 whereby Heartland
bought certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Western
Springs. The Plaintiff thereafter amended its complaint and
substituted Heartland for Western Springs.

Heartland moved to dismiss Count I of the Amended Complaint under
Fed. R. Bankr. P 7012(b)(1) and (6), saying the Plaintiffs lack
standing to bring the action and have failed to state a claim.
Heartland argues the Committee no longer had standing because it
ceased to exist once the case was converted to chapter 7 and that
the Trustee does not have standing because the avoidance action
was not assigned to the Trust, and thus, the Trustee cannot
administer it.  Heartland further argues the chapter 7 trustee has
no standing because he is bound by the acts of the chapter 11
Debtors and those acts included selling the Debtors' assets to
Western Springs, its predecessor and that pursuit of this
avoidance action would be contrary to the Sale Order.  Heartland
also argues that the pursuit of the avoidance action is an
impermissible collateral attack on the Sale Order and that it is
barred by the doctrines of collateral estoppel and res judicata.

In his ruling, Judge Metz agrees the creditors' committee lacks
standing to pursue the avoidance action.  The Committee operated
only as a committee in the chapter 11, and it was dissolved when
the case converted to chapter 7 and no corresponding chapter 7
committee had been appointed.  As to the Creditor Trustee, the
judge noted that the fully executed Trust Agreement expressly
included the avoidance action as part of the "Trust Assets" to be
administered by the Trustee.  Hence, the Trustee has standing to
bring the action.

Judge Metz also ruled that the avoidance action has nothing to do
with the validity and priority of Heartland's security interest in
the Debtors' assets and any arguments with respect to mootness and
finality of the sale likewise fail.  The Creditor Trustee filed
his initial avoidance action against Western Springs on Aug. 26,
2010.  It was not until late 2010 that the Debtors' moved to sell
their assets, with the Sale Order being entered in late February,
2011.  Thus, when Western Springs offered its credit bid for the
Debtors' assets, it was already on notice that the Trustee had
brought an action to avoid Western Springs' security interest in
them.  Nothing in the Sale order nullified the Trustee's right to
bring such action, the judge said.

PATRIOT COAL: Court Authorizes Limited Relief from Automatic Stay
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
has entered an order granting Patriot Coal Corporation and Hobet
Mining, LLC, limited relief from the automatic stay, to the extent
applicable, to allow for certain actions to be taken in Ohio
Valley Envtl. Coal, Inc. v. Hobet Mining, LLC, No. 3:09-1167 (S.D.
W. Va.) and Ohio Valley Envtl. Coal., Inc. v. Patriot
Coal Corp., No. 3:11-0115 (S.D. W. Va.) for the purpose of
modifying orders in such cases through the extension of certain
compliance deadlines.

As reported in the TCR on Oct. 2, 2012, the orders refer to a
March 15, 2012 Consent Decree with the Plaintiffs and the Hobet 22
Order.  The Hobet 22 Order refers to a Sept. 1, 2010 Order and an
Oct. 8, 2010 Order requiring Hobet Mining, LLC, inter alia, to
construct a system at Hobet's Mine 22 to treat selenium discharged
from Outlet 001 on Hobet's NPDES Permit WV1022911 and to bring the
selenium effluence from one of its mining outfalls into compliance
with applicable permit limitations by May 1, 2013.

According to papers filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the extension
of the deadlines would aid the Debtor Movants' restructuring
efforts, and the limited relief sought will not prejudice any of
the parties' otherwise applicable rights.

PATRIOT COAL: Creditors Committee Proposes Mesirow as Advisor
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
cases of Patriot Coal Corporation, et al., asks, in an amended
application, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York for approval to retain Mesirow Financial Consulting,
LLC as its financial advisors.

According to the Committee, at a July 24, 2012, meeting, the
Committee interviewed several potential advisors and, after due
deliberation and a vote, decided to retain (i) Houlihan Lokey
Capital, Inc., as primary financial advisors; and (ii) MFC as
financial advisors for specific projects.  Prior to filing the
application, substantial efforts were undertaken by the Committee
to carefully delineate and allocate the respective services to be
provided by each of Houlihan Lokey and MFC to avoid overlap,
duplication and most importantly, to ensure that advice and
guidance deemed necessary and appropriate by the Committee in
furtherance of its duties is provided in a timely and cost
effective manner.

The Committee has requested that MFC provide limited financial
advisory services to the Committee in order to advise the
Committee in the course of thee cases.

The Committee believes that MFC can provide certain supplemental
and discrete financial advisory services, as:

   a. provide litigation support services, which may include but
      are not limited to assisting with discovery, advising on
      damages and providing expert testimony, if necessary, to
      assist the Committee in analyzing potential causes of
      action, including potential preferences and fraudulent
      conveyances, specifically, including the investigation of
      transactions with Peabody, Arch, and ArcLite;

   b. analyze existing and proposed employee compensation programs
      including any proposed annual incentive bonus program/KEIP
      well as OPEB2/Pension/Labor obligations, including funding
      status and financial analysis;

   c. provide tax analyses and tax advice regarding any proposed
      Plan of Reorganization, including any post-confirmation
      trust that may be established; and

   d. analyze intercompany claims and transactions, including as
      set forth on the Debtors' schedules/statements of financial
      affairs.

MFC will not bill the Debtors for staff or paraprofessionals
performing clerical or administrative services.  The hourly rates
of MFC's personnel are:

         Director, Managing Director, and
           Senior Managing Director              $855 - $895

PEMCO WORLD: WARN Claimants Want Case Converted to Chapter 7
------------------------------------------------------------
Ethan Willock, the plaintiff in the putative Class Action
Adversary Proceeding Complaint, Adversary No. 1, on behalf of
himself and the class of those similarly situated, asks the U,S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to:

   -- vacate the order approving the sale of substantially all of
      the assets of PEMCO World Air Services, Inc., et al., to
      Avion Services Holdings, LLC , or alternatively;

   -- convert the Chapter 11 cases of the Debtors to those under
      Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

According to the WARN Claimants, the Debtors filed their Chapter
11 cases and filed a motion to sell substantially all of their
assets to Avion without mass layoffs at their Tampa Facility.
Six days prior to the sale hearing, however, the Debtors filed a
Second Amended and Restated APA providing for the sale of their
assets to Avion but this time the sale transaction was accompanied
by mass layoffs.  In fact, the same day the revised APA was filed,
the Debtors terminated the employment of more than half their
workforce.  The presumably thought the termination of half their
workforce was in the ordinary course of their business because no
notice was given of the layoffs.

The WARN claimants submit that their right to due process, to
object to the sale order, and be heard has been violated.

On April 13, 2012, Sun Aviation Services LLC (Bankr. D. Del. Case
No. 12-11242) filed its own Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition.  Sun

stock of debtor WAS Aviation Services Inc., which itself owns 100%
of the stock of Pemco World Air Services Inc.  Pemco also owes Sun
Aviation $5.6 million.  As a result, Sun Aviation is seeking
separate counsel.  However, Sun Aviation obtained an order jointly
administering its case with those of the Pemco debtors.

On June 15 the bankruptcy court approved sale of Pemco's business
for $41.9 million cash to an affiliate of VT Systems Inc. from
Alexandria, Virginia.  Boca Raton, Florida-based Sun Capital was
under contract to make the first bid at auction for the provider
of heavy maintenance and repair services for commercial jet

to a unit of Sun Capital Partners.


PEREGRINE FINANCIAL: Forex, Metals Clients to Sue Over Funds
------------------------------------------------------------
Megan Stride at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that foreign exchange
and metals customers of Peregrine Financial Group Inc. said
Thursday they planned to launch an adversary proceeding in
Illinois to force the firm's bankruptcy trustee to turn over their
funds or reclassify them as secured interests in the estate.

Their attorney, Vivian Drohan of Drohan Lee LLP, agreed to
withdraw a motion asking for that relief during a hearing before
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Carol A. Doyle, who said an adversary suit
would likely be the more appropriate way to handle the issue,
Bankruptcy Law360 relates.

                     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.

------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 5 will convene a Meeting of Creditors

Restaurants, LLC, et. al., on Oct. 30, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. at the
341 Meeting Room, 214 Jefferson St., in Lafayette, La.

                   About Piccadilly Restaurants

Piccadilly Restaurants, LLC, and two affiliated entities sought
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. W.D. La. Case Nos.
12-51127 to 12-51129) on Sept. 11, 2012.  The affiliates are
Piccadilly Food Service, LLC, and Piccadilly Investments LLC.

Piccadilly Restaurants, LLC, headquartered in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, is the largest cafeteria-style restaurant in the United
States, with operations in 10 states in the Southeast and Mid-
Atlantic regions.  It is wholly owned by Piccadilly Investments,
LLC.  Piccadilly operates an institutional foodservice division
through a wholly owned subsidiary, Piccadilly Food Service, LLC,
servicing schools and other organizations.  With a history dating
back to 1944, the Company operates 81 restaurants at three owned
and 78 leased locations.

Then known as Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc., the Company filed for
Chapter 11 relief (Bankr. S.D. Fl. Case No. 03-27976) on Oct. 29,
2003.  Paul Steven Singerman, Esq., and Jordi Guso, Esq., at
Berger Singerman, P.A. represented the Debtor in the case.  After
Piccadilly declared bankruptcy under Chapter 11, but before its
plan was submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Florida, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Piccadilly to
sell its assets to Yucaipa Cos., for about $80 million.  In
October 2004, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the plan.

In the 2012 petition, Piccadilly Restaurants estimated under
$50 million in total assets and liabilities.  Judge Robert
Summerhays oversees the 2012 cases.  Lawyers at Jones, Walker,

PINNACLE AIRLINES: DCPA to Support Quest to Maintain Standards
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Delta Connection Pilot Alliance (DCPA), which includes the
pilots of Atlantic Southeast, Compass, and Pinnacle Airlines, all
represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l, expressed
their solidarity with the pilots of Pinnacle, who are engaged in a
fight to maintain key provisions in their contract while also
working to find the cost savings necessary to help their company
emerge from bankruptcy.

On Oct. 16, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York will begin hearing arguments regarding Pinnacle Airlines'
motion to reject the pilot contract and impose terms on the more
than 2,700 pilots who fly for the airline if a tentative agreement
cannot be reached.  The terms currently being sought by management
would undercut every other regional carrier pilot contract and
provide Pinnacle Airlines with an overwhelming competitive
advantage over other carriers--who would, in turn, seek
concessions from their pilots.

"Pinnacle management hopes to compel the court to approve a plan
that would strip us of our current wage rates, work rules, and
benefits, while creating an unfair cost advantage over the rest of
the industry," said Captain Tom Wychor, head of the Pinnacle unit
of ALPA.  "With looming retirements at mainline carriers and an
already limited pool of available pilots, regional airlines need
to provide their pilots with competitive contracts, fair wages,
and an acceptable quality of life.  The proposed terms not only
would be detrimental to the Pinnacle pilots today, but also would
have long-lasting effects on the industry as a whole."

Pinnacle management is seeking a 33 percent reduction in pilot
costs.  These cuts would negate many of the improvements in pilot
wages and benefits gained in the 2011 contract that combined the
three pilot groups of Colgan, Mesaba, and Pinnacle into one
entity.  In addition, the terms that Pinnacle proposes are far
worse than those negotiated by the Mesaba pilots in the course of
their 2006 bankruptcy.

Pinnacle filed for bankruptcy on April 1, 2012, and originally
proposed an 18 percent reduction in pilot costs.  Following an
eight-week hiatus in negotiations over the summer, Pinnacle
revised its term sheet and now seeks nearly double the original
cost-savings target.  The pilot group has offered numerous and
innovative cost-saving proposals along with a 2 percent wage cut
that meets the company's original 18 percent target.

"As pilots serving the same industry segment, we are especially
wary of any efforts by our managements to undercut competition by
gutting pilot contracts," commented Captain David Nieuwenhuis,
head of the Atlantic Southeast unit of ALPA and chair of the DCPA.

"Pinnacle management is attempting to win by racing to the bottom
with the help of courts, but that's a race all of us, including
our companies and passengers, will inevitably lose."

RADIAN GROUP: S&P Raises ICR to 'CCC+' After Criteria Revision
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services raised its long-term issuer
credit ratings on Radian Group Inc. (RDN) to 'CCC+' from 'CCC-'
and MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG) to 'CCC+' from 'CCC'. The
financial strength ratings for both RDN's and MTG's respective
operating companies are unchanged. The outlook on both companies
is negative.

"The rating actions for RDN and MTG reflect Standard & Poor's
updated criteria for assigning 'CCC+', 'CCC', 'CCC-', and 'CC'
ratings," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ron Joas. "We
associate each rating level with a distinct scenario or set of
scenarios. The likelihood and time frame to anticipated default
are the primary factors considered when assigning 'CCC' category
ratings, and the plus or minus sign modifier within the category."

A 'CCC+' rating is assigned when:

    The issuer is currently vulnerable and dependent upon
    favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet
    its financial commitments; and

    The issuer's financial commitments appear to be unsustainable
    in the long term, although it may not face a near-term (within
    12 months) credit or payment crisis.

"RDN had total cash and investments of $350 million at the holding
company as of June 30, 2012, $50 million or more of which we
expect to be downstreamed to the operating companies within the
next 12-18 months to meet the regulatory risk to capital
requirement of 25x to continue writing in new business," S&P said.

"RDN's operating companies have reported significant losses over
the past several years and have been unable to provide dividends
to the holding company. We expect operating losses to continue
into 2014 and, barring more significant improvement in the job
markets, may continue even longer. As a result, while we believe
RDN will be able to repay the $92 million in outstanding 2013
debentures in February 2013, unless there is significant
improvement in its financial condition, RDN is likely to default
on the $250 million debentures due in 2015," S&P said.

"MTG had total cash and investments of $400 million at the holding
company as of June 30, 2012, $100 million of which is to be
downstreamed to its operating company, Mortgage Guaranty
Investment Corp. (MGIC) by Dec. 1, 2012, under terms provided to
MTG by Freddie Mac," S&P said.

"Similar to RDN, MGIC has reported significant losses for several
years and has been unable to provide dividends to the holding
company. We expect MGIC to continue reporting operating losses
into 2014. MTG had about $100 million par outstanding of the
5.375% senior notes due in November 2015 and has deferred interest
payments on the 9% junior subordinated debentures due in 2063 to
conserve cash and capital. As a result, although MTG as a group is
currently vulnerable, we believe it will be able to repay the 2015
debentures outstanding. Nevertheless, MTG currently does not have
the ability to repay the $345 million 5% 2017 debentures
outstanding and unless there is significant improvement in its
financial condition, it will be challenged to repay these notes,"
S&P said.

"The outlook for each company is negative, reflecting the
continuing risk of significant adverse reserve development; the
current trajectory of operating performance; and the expected
impact ongoing losses will have on their capital positions," Mr.
Joas continued. "We expect operating performance to deteriorate
for the rest of the year for both companies, reflecting the affect
of normal adverse seasonality on new notices of delinquency and
cure rates, and the lack of greater improvement in the job
markets."

"As indicated in the updated criteria, an issuer expected to
default without an unforeseen positive development within a 12-
month time frame is rated a 'CCC', and 'CCC-' where the default
appears inevitable within a six-month time frame. Accordingly, we
will lower our ratings on MTG and RDN as the time frame compresses
and the companies continue to lack the ability to repay their
outstanding maturities," S&P said.


RADIO SYSTEMS: S&P Affirms 'B-' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Pos
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its corporate credit
rating on Radio Systems Corp. (RSC) at 'B-', and revised its
rating outlook to positive from stable. The outlook revision
follows RSC's announcement that it will raise $250 million of
senior secured notes. The net proceeds from the notes offering
will be used to repay the existing balances on the $75 million
revolving credit facility due 2015 and the $150 million term loan
due 2015, and to purchase equity interests from several holders,
including financial sponsor TSG Consumer Partners LLC.

"At the same time, we assigned our 'B-' issue-level rating to
Radio System's proposed $250 million senior secured notes due
2019. The recovery rating is '4', indicating our expectation for
average (30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default. The company is also proposing a new $75 million
revolving credit facility due 2017 (unrated). We will withdraw the
existing issue-level ratings on RSC's$150 million term loan due
2015 and existing $75 million revolving credit facility due 2015
upon completion of these offerings and after the existing balances
have been repaid from the proposed notes issuance," S&P said.

"The outlook revision on RSC reflects our view that following the
close of the proposed transaction, RSC will have 'adequate'
liquidity, including expected financial covenant cushion of more
than 15 percent," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephanie
Harter.

"The ratings outlook is positive. We could raise the ratings over
the next year if recent improvements in operating performance
continue, including our projections of low-single-digit revenue
growth and EBITDA margins of about 20%, and the company is able to
sustain leverage below 5x and maintain adequate liquidity with
covenant cushion of at least 15%. However, we could consider an
outlook revision to stable if operating performance weakens,
resulting in constrained liquidity and covenant cushion dropping
below 15%. We estimate this could occur in a scenario where
revenues rise by 1% year over year and EBITDA margins fall by
about 250 basis points," S&P said.

RICH GLOBAL: Faces US$24MM Lawsuit From NY Awards Learning Annex
----------------------------------------------------------------
After a long lucrative career writing financial self-help books
and giving seminars, Rich Dad Poor Dad author and former Yahoo
News Finance columnist Robert Kiyosaki, filed for corporate
bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on Aug. 20,
2012, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wyoming (Case 12-20834).

The bankruptcy followed a July 17, 2012 order by Judge Shira A.
Scheindlin of the U.S. District Court Southern District of NY
(09CIVIL4432 SAS), for Rich Global, LLC to pay $24 million to Bill
Zanker and the Learning Annex. Judge Scheindlin denied Kiyosaki's
motion for a new trial.

Bill Zanker, the founder of the Learning Annex, sued Kiyosaki
after the financial guru reneged on an agreement to pay.

"I met Kiyosaki when he was an unknown author, speaking in front
of 30 people in Holiday Inns.  I promoted him all the way to
Madison Square Garden where he spoke in front of thousands.  We
had an agreement.  When it was time to pay, he reneged.  I trusted
him and got thousands of people to trust his financial advice.
Now, Kiyosaki claims, the money is all gone.  He declared
corporate bankruptcy when a NY jury awarded me even more money
than I asked for....24 million!"

The Learning Annex -- http://http://www.learningannex.com/-- has
been the premier producer of education classes, creating and
offering courses and lectures from high-impact speakers, such as
Suze Orman, Deepak Chopra, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, P. Diddy,
Richard Branson, Bethenny Frankel, Tony Robbins, Harrison Ford,
Bishop Desmond Tutu, Al Gore and many more.


RITZ CAMERA: Hilco StreamBank to Sell Core IP Assets
----------------------------------------------------
Ritz Camera & Image L.L.C., et al., ask in a supplemental
application the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
to expand the scope of employment of Hilco IP Services LLC doing
business as Hilco Streambank as their exclusive sales agent for
the sale of certain Core IP in addition to the Debtors' Non-Core
IP.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 27, 2012,
the Court authorized the employment of Hilco Streambank as
exclusive sales and marketing agent for the sale of certain
intellectual property unrelated to the Debtors' core business.

In their supplemental application, the Debtor request that Hilco
Streambank will provide services including Core IP nunc pro tunc
Aug. 31, 2012; and waive certain informational requirements.

Subject to the Court's authorization, the Debtors request that
Hilco Streambank be compensated for the additional services.  The
Debtors will pay Hilco Streambank a commission for the sale of the
Core IP sold at the auction in the amount of $50,000.  For the
assets to be sold after the date of the auction, Hilco Streambank
will be paid a commission as:

   i) 10% for the amount of aggregate gross proceeds up to
      $50,000; plus

  ii) 15% of the amount by which the aggregate gross proceeds
      exceed $500,000 up to $2,000,000; plus

iii) 20% of the amount by which the aggregate gross proceeds
      exceed $2,000,000.

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge, Hilco Streambank is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

positions of Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer,
respectively, as of Oct. 22, 2012.

team.  Each brings considerable experience and insight that will
be invaluable as we grow Rosetta Genomics into a leading molecular
diagnostics and personalized medicine company," stated Kenneth A.
Berlin, president and chief executive officer of Rosetta Genomics.

Wassman has more than 30 years of experience in executive roles at
leading genetic testing companies including Genzyme Genetics,
Alfigen/The Genetics Institute, Good Start Genetics, and Genetrix,
Specialty Laboratories.  Prior to joining Rosetta Genomics, Dr.
Wassman was Chief Medical Officer, Executive Vice President &
Chief Genomics Officer at Generation Health.

Dr. Wassman is widely published with contributions to medical
books and articles in peer-reviewed journals and lay publications.
He graduated cum laude from Yale University with a B.S. in Biology

leading authority on genetics, Dr. Wassman's vast experience and
skillset will be a considerable asset to Rosetta as we continue to
ramp up our efforts to commercialize our current, clinically
focused assays and seek to bring new assays to the market.  Our
strengthened financials allow us to reinvigorate our development
efforts, and Dr. Bar's expertise in this area will be invaluable

                           About Rosetta

Based in Rehovot, Israel, Rosetta Genomics Ltd. is seeking to
develop and commercialize new diagnostic tests based on a recently
discovered group of genes known as microRNAs.  MicroRNAs are
naturally expressed, or produced, using instructions encoded in
DNA and are believed to play an important role in normal function
and in various pathologies.  The Company has established a CLIA-
certified laboratory in Philadelphia, which enables the Company to
develop, validate and commercialize its own diagnostic tests
applying its microRNA technology.

In its auditors' report for the 2011 financial statements, Kost
Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, in Tel-Aviv, Israel, expressed
substantial doubt about Rosetta Genomics' ability to continue as a
going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has incurred recurring operating losses and generated negative
cash flows from operating activities in each of the three years in
the period ended Dec. 31, 2011.

The Company reported a net loss after discontinued operations of
$8.83 million on $103,000 of revenues for 2011, compared with a
net loss after discontinued operations of $14.76 million on
$279,000 of revenues for 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $7.67 million
in total assets, $3.95 million in total liabilities and $3.71
million in total shareholders' equity.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in its annual report for the year ended Dec. 31,
2011, "We have used substantial funds to discover, develop and
protect our microRNA tests and technologies and will require
substantial additional funds to continue our operations.  Based on
our current operations, our existing funds, including the proceeds
from the January 2012 debt financing, will only be sufficient to
fund operations until late May, 2012.  We intend to seek funding
through collaborative arrangements and public or private equity
offerings and debt financings.  Additional funds may not be
available to us when needed on acceptable terms, or at all.  In
addition, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the
holdings or the rights of our existing shareholders.  For example,
if we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, further
dilution to our then-existing shareholders may result.  Debt
financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that
could limit our flexibility in conducting future business
activities.  If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis,
we may be required to significantly curtail one or more of our
research or development programs.  We also could be required to
seek funds through arrangements with collaborators or others that
may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies,
tests or products in development or approved tests or products
that we would otherwise pursue on our own.  Our failure to raise
capital when needed will materially harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations, and may require us to seek
protection under the bankruptcy laws of Israel and the United
States."


RUDEN MCCLOSKY: Law Firm Liquidates With 5% Recovery
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the liquidation of Ruden McClosky PA will be
completed under a Chapter 11 plan approved in a confirmation order
signed last week by the bankruptcy judge in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida.  The law firm once had eight offices in Florida.  The
plan provides a 5% recovery for unsecured creditors, according to
the explanatory disclosure statement.

According to the report, the firm was authorized by the bankruptcy
judge on Nov. 30 to sell the firm to Greenspoon Marder PA, a six-
office Florida firm.

The report relates that Greenspoon paid $5.6 million in cash plus
the assumption of $2 million in debt.  The sale paid off the
secured claim of about $4.6 million owing to Wells Fargo Bank NA.

The report notes that shareholders of the firm, often called
partners at other firms, had guaranteed the debt.  Out of
$2.2 million the firm had left after the sale and expects to
collect later, about $350,000 will remain for distribution to
unsecured creditors once expenses of the Chapter 11 case and
claims with higher priority are paid, according to the disclosure
statement.

Ruden McClosky filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D. Fla.
Case No. 11-40603) on Nov. 1, 2011, in its hometown of Fort
Lauderdale, with a plan to sell a substantial portion of its

SAND TECHNOLOGY: AMF Revokes Cease Trade Order
----------------------------------------------
SAND Technology Inc. announced that the cease trade order issued
by the Autorite des Marches Financiers on July 18, 2012, was
revoked effective Oct. 10, 2012.

The AMF issued the cease trade order for a failure to file
continuous disclosure materials including the unaudited interim
financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2012,
management's discussion and analysis, and certification of interim
filings for the period ended for the period ended April 30, 2012.

As previously disclosed, the Corporation's board of directors and
management team initiated a review of the business, including
consideration of all available strategic options with the
objective of maximizing value for shareholders.  There can be no
assurance, however, that the strategic review will result in any
specific transaction.

In addition, the Corporation clarified a prior-period adjustment
relating to the presentation of convertible debentures under IFRS.

Under Canadian GAAP, the component parts of compound financial
instruments (convertible debenture) issued by the Company were
classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and
the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
The conversion option that was to be settled by the exchange of a
fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of the Company's own
equity instruments was classified as an equity instrument.

The treatment under IFRS is different.  Under IFRS, the conversion
option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of
cash for a fixed number of the Company's own equity instruments is
classified as a financial liability as opposed to an equity
instrument since the instrument does not meet the required tests
under IFRS.

Consequently, upon review by management the following changes were
made: (i) the equity component in the amount of $446,027 and the
value of the warrants credited to contributed surplus in the
amount of $305,600 that were previously recognized under Canadian
GAAP were written off; (ii) at conversion date, the liability
portion of the financial instrument was adjusted to $647,321 and
the derivative components were classified as other financial
liabilities in the amount of $342,927; (iii) an adjustment of
$209,688 was charged to deficit; and (iv) for the three-month and
nine-month period ended April 31, 2011, accretion expense was
increased by $10,373 and $31,118 respectively.

SEARS HOLDINGS: Closes Separation of Hometown, Outlet Businesses
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sears Holdings Corporation's rights offering to effect the
separation of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc., from Sears
Holdings closed on Oct. 11, 2012, as previously announced.  Sears
Hometown has now been separated from Sears Holdings and its common
stock is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market
under the symbol "SHOS" on Oct. 12, 2012.  Sears Holdings will
continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the
symbol "SHLD."  Sears Holdings received aggregate gross proceeds
from the separation transactions of $446.5 million, consisting of
a cash dividend of $100 million paid by Sears Hometown prior to
the separation and aggregate gross proceeds from the rights
offering of $346.5 million.

The rights offering was fully subscribed, with over 95% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Sears Hometown being
subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of basic subscription
rights and the balance being subscribed for pursuant to the over-
subscription privilege.  Accordingly, Sears Holdings distributed a
total of 23,100,000 shares of Sears Hometown common stock to the
holders of subscription rights who validly exercised their
subscription rights and paid the subscription price in full.

In addition, as part of the separation transactions Sears Hometown
entered into an asset-based senior secured revolving credit
facility with a group of financial institutions to provide for
aggregate maximum borrowings of $250 million, borrowings under
which were used to fund the dividend paid to Sears Holdings.

The shares of common stock of Sears Hometown were distributed by
the subscription agent for the rights offering, by way of direct
registration in book-entry form.  No physical share certificates
were issued.

Registered holders of subscription rights who properly requested
to purchase additional shares of Sears Hometown common stock
pursuant to the over-subscription privilege received additional
shares in an amount up to 5% of the shares received through their
exercise of basic subscription rights.

                            About Sears

Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based Sears Holdings Corporation
(Nasdaq: SHLD) -- http://www.searsholdings.com/-- is the nation's
fourth largest broadline retailer with more than 4,000 full-line
and specialty retail stores in the United States and Canada.
Sears Holdings operates through its subsidiaries, including Sears,
Roebuck and Co. and Kmart Corporation.  Sears Holdings also owns a
94% stake in Sears Canada and an 80.1% stake in Orchard Supply
Hardware.  Key proprietary brands include Kenmore, Craftsman and
DieHard, and a broad apparel offering, including such well-known
labels as Lands' End, Jaclyn Smith and Joe Boxer, as well as the
Apostrophe and Covington brands.  It also has the Country Living
collection, which is offered by Sears and Kmart.

Kmart Corporation and 37 of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Lead Case No. 02-02474) on
Jan. 22, 2002.  Kmart emerged from chapter 11 protection on May 6,
2003, pursuant to the terms of an Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization.  John Wm. "Jack" Butler, Jr., Esq., at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP, represented the retailer in its
restructuring efforts.  The Company's balance sheet showed
$16,287,000,000 in assets and $10,348,000,000 in debts when it
sought chapter 11 protection.  Kmart bought Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
for $11 billion to create the third-largest U.S. retailer, behind
Wal-Mart and Target, and generate $55 billion in annual revenues.
Kmart completed its merger with Sears on March 24, 2005.

The Company's balance sheet at July 28, 2012, showed $21.18
billion in total assets, $16.68 billion in total liabilities and
$4.49 billion in total equity.

                         Negative Outlook

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in January 2012 lowered its
corporate credit rating on Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears
Holdings Corp. to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  "We removed the rating from
CreditWatch, where we had placed it with negative implications on
Dec. 28, 2011.  We are also lowering the short-term and commercial
paper rating to 'C' from 'B-2'.  The rating outlook is negative,"
S&P said.

"The corporate credit rating reflects our projection that Sears'
EBITDA will be negative in 2012, given our expectations for
continued sales and margin pressure," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Ana Lai.  She added, "We further expect that
liquidity could be constrained in 2013 absent a turnaround
or substantial asset sales to fund operating losses."

Moody's Investors Service in January 2012 lowered Sears Holdings
Family and Probability of Default Ratings to B3 from B1.
The outlook remains negative. At the same time Moody's affirmed
Sears' Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2.

The rating action reflects Moody's expectations that Sears will
report a significant operating loss in fiscal 2011.  Moody's added
that the rating action also reflects the company's persistent
negative trends in sales, which continue to significantly
underperform peers.

the Disclosure Statement provides that OneWest Bank, the secured

amortized over 25 years with principal and interest payments.  The
Debtor said that the July 18 Disclosure Statement will be further
amended to provide that OneWest Bank's secured claim is being paid

bankruptcy judge in May; the Court ordered the Debtor and One West
Bank to engage in mediation by July 1.

SIONIX CORP: Issues $100,000 Convertible Redeemable Note
--------------------------------------------------------
Sionix issued a 6% Convertible Redeemable Note in the principal
amount $100,000 maturing on Sept. 21, 2013.  Sionix has an
optional right of redemption prior to maturity upon a five-day
notice and payment of a 50% premium on the unpaid principal amount
of the loan.  Sionix paid fees of $6,000 in connection with the
funding of this loan.  In addition, the Company received a
commitment in the form of a promissory note from the lender
pursuant to which the lender will provide the Company with funding
of an additional $300,000, $100,000 of which will become
available, on each of July 1, 2103, Aug. 15, 2013, and Oct. 1,
2013.

The conversion price for each share of common stock will be equal
to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for a
period of five trading days, but no lower than $0.001 per share.
However, if the Company is able to register the underlying shares
to the Sept. 21, 2012, Note and the Additional Financing on or
before Dec. 5, 2012, then the applicable discount rate for all the
notes will be reduced from 30% to 25%, and the interest rate
charged will be reduced from 6% to 3%.

On Oct. 8, 2012, the Company terminated its agreement with
Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, to establish an equity drawdown
facility.  There were no penalties or fees associated with the
termination of this agreement.

On Sept. 19, 2012, the Company received the resignation of Johan
Perslow as a member of the board of directors.

The board of directors is now comprised of James W. Alexander
(Interim Chairman), Bernard Brogan, Ken Calligar, Frank Power and
David R. Wells.

                        About Sionix Corp.

Los Angeles, Calif.-based Sionix Corporation designs, develops,
markets and sells cost-effective water management and treatment
solutions intended for use in the oil and gas, agriculture,
disaster relief, and municipal (both potable and wastewater)
markets.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2012, showed
$2.77 million in total assets, $3.60 million in total current
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $830,380.

As reported in the TCR on Dec. 27, 2011, Kabani & Company, Inc.,
in Los Angeles, Calif., expressed substantial doubt about Sionix
Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern, following
the Company's results for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2011.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred
cumulative losses of $31.9 million.  "In addition, the company has
had negative cash flow from operations for the period ended
Sept. 30, 2011, of $2,187,812."


SMART & FINAL: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on Watch Neg on Acquisition Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B' corporate credit
rating on Commerce, Calif.-based Smart & Final Holdings Corp. on
CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The CreditWatch placement follows the announcement that Ares
intends to acquire Smart & Final from current owners Apollo Global
Management LLC for about $975 million," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Charles Pinson-Rose. "We expect the transaction to
close in the fourth quarter of this year."

"The transaction could weaken Smart & Final's financial ratios
depending on the amount and the terms of the new debt in the
capital structure following the transaction. If the transaction is
financed with 60% to 70% debt, we believe operating-lease-adjusted
leverage would be in the mid- to high-6x area. This ratio is
significantly higher than the low-5x area that we had forecast for
the end of 2012 before the transaction was announced," S&P said.

"Before resolving the CreditWatch placement, we expect to meet
with management and the new financial sponsors to discuss the new
capital structure, business strategy, and financial policies. We
expect to resolve the CreditWatch concurrently with the funding of
debt issued to finance the transaction," S&P said.


SOLYNDRA LLC: Defends Ch. 11 Plan Against IRS Objection
-------------------------------------------------------
Lance Duroni at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Solyndra LLC on
Monday defended its Chapter 11 plan against a protest from the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service, saying there is nothing improper
about its private equity owners taking advantage of the defunct
solar company's tax breaks after it exits bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy Law360 recalls, the IRS asked a Delaware bankruptcy
judge to reject the plan over potentially $350 million in tax
breaks that are being preserved for investors Argonaut Ventures I
LLC and Madrone Partners LP.

                        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.


SOLYNDRA LLC: Seeks Treble Damages Against Chinese Solar Makers
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Solyndra LLC filed an antitrust suit against three
Chinese companies, including Suntech Power Holdings Co., the
world's largest solar-panel maker.

The report says the defendants fixed prices, attempted to
monopolize and used predatory pricing, according to Solyndra's
complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

The report relates that in addition to $1.5 billion for loss of
the value of its business, Solyndra wants the judge to triple the
damages for violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.  The complaint
alleges that the Chinese solar panel makers "conspired to, and
succeeded in, destroying Solyndra" along with "nearly a dozen
other U.S. solar manufacturers, who have all sought bankruptcy
protection."  Other defendants are Trina Solar Ltd. and Yingli
Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd.

According to the report, the complaint quotes a former Suntech
chief executive officer as saying his company increased market
share by selling solar panels in the U.S. for "less than the cost
of materials, assembly and shipping."  Another element of the
alleged conspiracy, Solyndra says, was a joint decision to lower
prices by 75% in four years.  The complaint recites how the U.S.
Commerce Department already determined that the Chinese makers
"dumped" solar panels in the U.S. for "less than fair value."

Solyndra is represented in the lawsuit by the Chicago and San
Francisco offices of Winston & Strawn LLP.  "It is obvious that
this lawsuit is a misguided effort by Solyndra to find scapegoats
for its failure to commercialize its technology at a competitive
price point," E. L. "Mick" McDaniel, managing director of Suntech
America, said in an email.  The allegations are "baseless" and
Suntech will fight them, he said.

The Bloomberg report discloses that financed partly with a
$535 million loan from the U.S. Energy Department, Solyndra will
attempt to emerge from Chapter 11 at an Oct. 17 confirmation
hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.  To do so, the
company must overcome opposition to the plan from three different
arms of the federal government.

The antitrust suit is Solyndra LLC v. Suntech Power Holdings Ltd.,
12-05272, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California
(San Francisco).

SOUTHERN PRODUCTS: Delays Form 10-Q for Aug. 31 Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------
Southern Products, Inc., was unable to compile the necessary
financial information required to prepare a complete filing of its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended Aug. 31, 2012.
Thus, the Company was unable to file the periodic report in a
timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company
expects to file within the extension period.

                      About Southern Products

City of Industry, Calif.-based Southern Products, Inc., is in the
business of designing, assembling and marketing consumer
electronics products, primarily flat screen high-definition
televisions using LCD and LED technologies.  Through Nov. 30,
2011, the Company has six LCD and LED widescreen televisions on
the market.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.47 million for the year
ended Feb. 29, 2012, compared with a net loss of $47,966 for the
year ended Feb. 28, 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at May 31, 2012, showed $996,512 in
total assets, $3.37 million in total liabilities, all current, and
a $2.38 million total stockholders' deficit.

Silberstein Ungar, PLLC, in Bingham Farms, Michigan, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Feb. 29, 2012, citing negative
working capital and losses from operations which factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.


SOUTHAMPTON BRICK: Lessor Fails to Disqualify Debtor's Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Dorothy T. Eisenberg declined the request of
Wainscott Commercial Center, LLC, a former lessor of Southampton
Brick and Tile LLC, to disqualify Ruskin Moscou Faltischek as the
Debtor's counsel.  Judge Eisenberg tossed out Wainscott's
allegation that Ruskin has a disabling conflict of interest, such
as would preclude it from representing the Debtor.  A copy of the
Court's Oct. 11 Memorandum Decision and Order is available at
http://is.gd/VfQ69afrom Leagle.com.

Southampton Brick and Tile, LLC, has been primarily in the
business of selling ceramics, brick, tile, and related materials
for use in construction.  Its principal geographic area of
operations has been Long Island, New York. The recent economic
downturn produced a corresponding downturn in the Long Island
construction market, which in turn took a considerable toll on the
company's business and financial stability.

A group of creditors came together and filed a petition for
the Company's involuntary bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No.
11-75928) on Aug. 18, 2011, under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  On Sept. 22, 2011, on motion of the Debtor, the Court
converted the case to one under Chapter 11.

SPRINT NEXTEL: Moody's Reviews B1 Corp. Family Rating for Upgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed all the ratings of Sprint
Nextel, including its B1 Corporate Family Rating, on review for
upgrade following the announcement that the Company has entered
into a series of definitive agreements with SOFTBANK CORP. Sprint
will sell a 70% stake to SoftBank for $20.1 billion, consisting of
$12.1 billion that will be distributed to Sprint stockholders and
$8.0 billion of new capital to strengthen Sprint's balance sheet.
Through the transaction, about 55% of Sprint shares will receive
$7.30 per share (an estimated total of $12.14 billion) and the
remaining shares will convert into shares of the newly capitalized
New Sprint. Subsequent to closing, SoftBank will have 70%
ownership of New Sprint and the Sprint equity holders will have
the remaining 30% of the shares. The transaction is expected to be
completed in mid-2013, pending Sprint shareholder approval and
regulatory approvals.

Moody's has taken the following rating actions:

Issuer: Sprint Nextel Corporation

  On Review for Possible Upgrade:

     Probability of Default Rating, Placed on Review for Upgrade,
     currently B1

Ratings Rationale

The $8.0 billion in new capital will improve the current highly
leveraged financial position of Sprint and strengthen its
operational flexibility. "The announced transaction is credit
positive for Sprint. It provides the Company with much-needed
capital to undertake the significant spending obligations of
Network Vision, absorb the ongoing high subsidies associated with
smartphones and address its need for additional spectrum," stated
Moody's Senior Vice President, Dennis Saputo. The first investment
by SoftBank, which is expected very shortly, will be $3.1 billion
in the form of a convertible bond. The bond will have a 1% coupon
and mature in 7 years and will immediately strengthen Sprint's
liquidity and financial flexibility.

The transaction also provides Sprint with invaluable experience
and guidance from SoftBank, an aggressive player in a highly
competitive wireless market in Japan. "SoftBank successfully
disrupted a market once dominated by NTT DoCoMo and KDDI. The
circumstances that Sprint finds itself in today are similar to
those that SoftBank faced," Saputo said, SoftBank has already
developed and deployed its own LTE network in Japan and will
exploit its first-hand experience to ensure that Sprint's Network
Vision remains on track. Though Moody's does not see any immediate
synergies between the two companies, the enhanced operating scale
may provide savings on network equipment purchases.

The review of Sprint's ratings will focus on SoftBank's plans with
regard to the existing Sprint debt and the post-close capital
structure of the newly formed entity. The review will also
consider Sprint's usage of the new capital and the progress of
Network Vision as the Company rebuilds its network. Moody's
assessment of Sprint's capability to profitably reclaim market
share will be an important factor in the review.

The principal methodology used in rating Sprint Nextel 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.


SPRINT NEXTEL: S&P Keeps 'B+' CCR on Watch on Softbank Acquisition
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its ratings on Overland
Park, Kan.-based wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp., including
the 'B+' corporate credit rating, remain on CreditWatch. The
ratings were placed on CreditWatch with positive implications on
Oct. 11, 2012, following the announcement that Softbank was
seeking to buy all or part of Sprint Nextel.

"The CreditWatch update follows the announcement that Sprint
Nextel has agreed to sell a majority stake to Softbank," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Allyn Arden.

"Sprint Nextel has announced an agreement to a series of
transactions under which SoftBank will invest about $20.1 billion
in Sprint Nextel, of which about $12.1 billion will be distributed
to Sprint Nextel stockholders in exchange for current outstanding
shares, and the remaining $8 billion will represent a cash
infusion in Sprint Nextel. The companies expect the transaction to
close in the second quarter of 2013, at which time SoftBank will
own about 70% of Sprint Nextel," S&P said.

"We currently view Sprint Nextel's business risk profile as 'fair'
and its financial risk profile as 'highly leveraged'. In viewing
the stand-alone credit profile under Softbank ownership, we do not
believe there would be any change in the business risk assessment
because the transaction would not likely offer any meaningful
synergies since the two companies operate in different geographic
markets. Moreover, the transaction does not alter the competitive
dynamics of the U.S. wireless market, which is currently dominated
by the larger and more profitable AT&T and Verizon Wireless. The
business benefits of the transaction would likely only occur over
time, in terms of cost savings on handsets and network equipment,
and as a result of greater financial flexibility allowing a
consistently higher level of investment in the business," S&P
said.

"We believe the financial risk profile would benefit from about $8
billion of additional liquidity, which can be used to help fund
its network upgrade and accelerate its rollout of fourth
generation (4G) services under the Long Term Evolution (LTE)
standard, as well as potentially deleverage its balance sheet.
Without the Softbank infusion, our base-case scenario incorporated
the expectation that Sprint Nextel would need to raise at least
$4.5 billion through 2015 to fund free operating cash flow
deficits and to refinance upcoming maturities. The Softbank
transaction potentially alleviates this funding need," S&P said.

"If we decide that the additional liquidity will be sufficient to
improve our view of the financial risk profile, it is possible
that we could assign a stand-alone credit profile of 'bb-'.
Conversely, if we determine that the additional liquidity is not
sufficient to change our overall financial risk assessment, then
we would assign a 'b+' stand-alone credit profile," S&P said.

"The corporate credit rating could also receive some uplift based
on our view of the strategic relationship between Sprint Nextel
and Softbank. An important factor in this analysis would be the
degree of extraordinary financial support we would expect from the
higher-rated SoftBank in a stress scenario at Sprint Nextel. While
we do not expect to equalize the ratings of the two companies, we
could impute some degree of extraordinary support, which could
lead to a higher rating on Sprint Nextel than it would receive on
a stand-alone basis," S&P said.

"We expect the resolve the CreditWatch when the transaction
closes, most likely in the second quarter of 2013. However, we
would expect to provide more clarity on the ultimate ratings
outcome as the companies provide more information on financial
policy and strategic direction. In resolving the CreditWatch, we
will assess the effect of the transaction on Sprint Nextel's
financial risk profile and the business strategy, including its
LTE buildout," S&P said.

TERVITA CORP: Moody's Rates US$290MM Sr. Unsecured Notes 'Caa2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa2 rating to Tervita
Corporation's proposed US$290 million senior unsecured notes.
Moody's upgraded the senior secured bank credit facility to B1
from B2. All other ratings were affirmed. A Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating of SGL-3 was assigned. The rating outlook
remained stable.

The proceeds of the notes will be used to reduce borrowings under
the company's revolving credit facility and to fund negative free
cash flow.

"The affirmation of the B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects our
view that EBITDA should grow and leverage decline in 2013 as
Tervita benefits from its recent significant expenditures in
treatment recovery and disposal facilities, as well as landfills,"
said Terry Marshall, Moody's senior vice president. "The reduction
in leverage is important as most of Tervita's secured, unsecured
and subordinated debt needs to be refinanced as it matures in 2014
and 2015."

Upgrades:

  Issuer: Tervita Corporation

    Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Upgraded to a range of
    B1, LGD2, 29 % from a range of B2, LGD3, 34 %

    Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Upgraded to a range of

    Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Upgraded to LGD5,
    79% from LGD5, 87%

Assignments:

  Issuer: Tervita Corporation

    Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-3

    Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned a range of
    79 - LGD5 to Caa2

Rating Rationale

Tervita Corporation's B3 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) primarily
reflects the company's high leverage and associated debt service
cost. Meaningful improvement in leverage will be contingent upon
growth in EBITDA resulting from the company's large 2012 capital
expenditure program. The majority of growth capital has been
directed to waste management services in response to increased
drilling activity in western Canada, and expansion of the US
business. The ratings are supported by the company's strength in
waste management services, with high barriers to entry created
through a combination of technical expertise and ownership of
permitted TRD and landfill assets, and other diversified revenue
streams that somewhat mitigate dependence on cyclical oil and gas
drilling activity.

The senior secured revolving credit facilities (C$305 million),
and US$1.5 billion senior secured term loan are rated B1, two
notches higher than the CFR of B3 under Moody's Loss Given Default
(LGD) Methodology. The secured debt benefits from its prior
ranking to the US$602 million senior unsecured notes and the
US$300 million senior subordinated notes, both of which are rated
Caa2, two notches lower than the B3 Corporate Family Rating,
reflecting the effective subordination.

The SGL-3 reflects adequate liquidity through December 2013. Pro-
forma for the October 2012 notes issuance, Tervita has C$90
million of cash and C$190 million of committed availability, after
C$116 million in letters of credit, under its $300 million of
revolvers, due October, 2014 (Tervita has another $70 million of
commitments under its revolver, but they mature in November 2013
and Moody's does not include them in the calculation of
availability for the SGL rating). Moody's expects Tervita to have
negative free cash flow of about C$40 million through the third
quarter of 2013. Tervita will need to refinance the $1.5 billion
term loan by November 2014, and as that date approaches the
refinancing risk, unless addressed, will adversely impact both the
Speculative Grade Liquidity score and the CFR. The revolvers have
one financial covenant, senior secured debt to EBITDA of less than
5.75x (4.5x as of June 30, 2012). As Moody's expects improvement
in EBITDA, compliance with the financial covenant should remain
sufficient through the third quarter of 2013. Alternate liquidity
is limited by the significant security interest in the company's
assets and the weak asset coverage of debt.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Tervita's
EBITDA will grow due to recent major capital expenditures, causing
leverage to improve, while management is expected to temper future
capital expenditures within operating cash flow and take early
action on refinancing debt due in 2014 and 2015. The rating could
be upgraded if debt to EBITDA trends towards 5.5x, the company
generates sustainable positive free cash flow, and successfully
refinances its upcoming debt maturities. A failure to grow EBITDA,
and debt to EBITDA consistently above 7.0x or negative free cash
flow in 2012 and 2013, which strains the company's liquidity could
all lead to a downgrade.

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

Tervita Corporation, formerly CCS Corporation, based in Calgary,
Alberta, is a privately-owned oilfield services company providing
waste management , maintenance/workover and reclamation services.


TERVITA CORP: S&P Gives 'CCC+' Rating on $290MM Unsecured Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'CCC+' issue-level
rating and '6' recovery rating to Calgary, Alta.-based Tervita
Corp.'s proposed US$290 million senior unsecured notes. "The '6'
recovery rating indicates our expectation of negligible (0%-10%)
recovery in the event of a default. The company will use the
proceeds to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility,"
S&P said.

"The ratings on Tervita reflect our view of the company's 'fair'
business risk profile and 'highly leveraged' financial risk
profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Aniki Saha-
Yannopoulos.

"The ratings take into account our assessment of the company's
high debt leverage due to management's aggressive financial
policy, participation in the competitive and cyclical oilfield
services market, and lack of long-term contracts. The ratings also
incorporate our positive assessment of Tervita's relatively stable
operating margins and integrated strategy that provides cross-
selling opportunities. In our opinion, the company's financial
risk profile constrains the ratings," S&P said.

TEXAS RANGERS: Ex-Owner Blasts JPMorgan Expert in Bad Deal Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Mahoney at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the former owner
of Texas Rangers Baseball Partners asked a Texas federal judge on
Wednesday to strike a JPMorgan Chase Bank NA expert who the bank
claims bolsters its allegations that he made a shady deal with his
own company to dodge $35 million in company liabilities.

Thomas Hicks claims that JPMorgan expert Stephen Marotta ? who co-
founded the restructuring consulting group Marotta Gund Budd &
Dzera LLC ? is not a qualified sports franchise finance expert and
is therefore unfit for rendering opinion, Bankruptcy Law360
relates.

                        About Texas Rangers

Texas Rangers Baseball Partners owned and operated the Texas
Rangers Major League Baseball Club, a professional baseball club
in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.  TRBP is a Texas general
partnership, in which subsidiaries of HSG Sports Group LLC own a
100% stake.  Controlled by Thomas O. Hicks, HSG also indirectly
wholly-owns Dallas Stars, L.P., which owns and operates the Dallas
Stars National Hockey League franchise.  The Texas Rangers have
had five owners since the club moved to Arlington in 1972.  Mr.
Hicks became the fifth owner in the history of the Texas Rangers
on June 16, 1998.

Texas Rangers Baseball Partners filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-43400) on May 24, 2010.  The
partnership filed simultaneously with the bankruptcy petition a
Chapter 11 plan that contemplated the sale of the club to an
entity formed by a group that includes the President of the Texas
Rangers, Nolan Ryan, and Chuck Greenberg, a sports lawyer and
minor league club owner.  In its petition, Texas Rangers Baseball
Partners said it had both assets and debt of less than $500
million.

Martin A. Sosland, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, served as
bankruptcy counsel to the Debtor.  Forshey & Prostok LLP acted as
conflicts counsel.  Parella Weinberg Partners LP served as
financial advisor.  Major League Baseball was represented by Sandy
Esserman, Esq., at Stutzman, Bromberg, Esserman & Plifka PC.

Lenders to the Texas Rangers sought to force the baseball team's
equity owners -- Rangers Equity Holdings, L.P. and Rangers Equity
Holdings GP, LLC -- into bankruptcy court protection (Bankr. N.D.
Tex. Case No. 10-43624 and 10-43625).  The lenders, a group that
includes investment funds Monarch Alternative Capital and
Kingsland Capital Management, filed an involuntary bankruptcy
petition on May 28, 2010 against the two companies.  The two
companies were not included in the May 24 Chapter 11 filing of
TRBP.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stacey G. C. Jernigan on Aug. 5, 2010
confirmed the Debtor's fourth amended version of the Prepackaged
Plan of Reorganization.  The judge's confirmation order cleared
the way for a group of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, and
Pittsburgh sports attorney and minor-league team owner Charles
Greenberg to purchase the Texas Rangers.  The Ryan group paid
$385 million in cash and assumed $208 million in liabilities.  The
Ryan group outbid Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at an auction.


VAREL INTERTNATIONAL: S&P Assigns 'B-' Corp. Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B-' long-term
corporate credit rating to Carrollton, Texas-based Varel
International Energy Services Inc. The outlook is stable.

"We also assigned our 'B' issue-level rating to Varel
International Energy Funding Corp.'s planned senior secured credit
facilities, which includes its $230 million term loan due 2017 and
$20 million revolving credit facility due 2016. The recovery
rating on the senior secured credit facilities is '2', which
indicates our expectations of substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in
the event of a payment default. Varel will use a majority of the
proceeds from the term loan and mezzanine facility to repay
existing debt," S&P said.

Varel International Energy Funding Corp. is a newly formed special
purpose entity formed for the purpose of putting in place senior
secured credit facilities for the benefit of Varel International
Energy Services Inc. and its other subsidiaries (collectively,
Varel) through a transaction structure intended to comply with
Islamic Shar'ia financing rules that prohibit the beneficiaries
from paying interest.

"We will withdraw our rating on Varel Funding Corp.
(CCC+/Developing/--), which will have its debt refinanced with the
completion of the proposed issuance of new notes at Varel
International Energy Funding Corp. This assumes Varel completes
the transaction of its senior secured credit facility and
mezzanine facility," S&P said.

"The ratings on Varel reflect our assessment of the company's
'vulnerable' business risk and 'highly leveraged' financial risk,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephen Scovotti. "The
ratings also incorporate Varel's small size and scale in drill bit
manufacturing, its competitive position against some of the
largest oilfield services companies in the industry, a leveraged
capital structure, and cyclical end markets. These weaknesses are
partially offset by Varel's 'adequate' liquidity profile, variable
cost structure, and a measure of geographic and product diversity.
Varel's full-year 2012 revenue was approximately 43% from North
America, 20% from the Middle East, 11% from Far East/Australia,
11% from Africa, 9% from Europe, and 6% from South America. Oil
and gas polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bits
represented 44% of the company's revenues, oil and gas roller cone
drill bits represented 23% of revenue, mining and industrial
represented 22% of revenue, and the company's downhole products
segment represented 11% of revenue."

"Varel manufactures PDC and roller cone drill bits for the oil and
gas, mining, and industrial industries. Fundamentals for the oil
and gas drill bit industry are closely tied to the rig count,
which tends to be volatile and related to oil and gas prices. For
the mining and industrial drill bit industry, fundamentals are
closely tied to the rig count for commodities including copper,
gold, diamond, and other mining markets. The drill bit represents
less than 3% of the total cost of drilling the well. However,
because the cost of failure is high (i.e., a bit left downhole
could require abandonment of the well) and because drill bit
efficiency directly impacts the time the drilling rig must be
utilized, operators are willing to pay a premium for a bit that
has a proven record in a particular geologic formation," S&P said.

"The stable outlook is based on our expectation that Varel's pro
forma liquidity will be sufficient to maintain fixed spending
requirements at least for the next year. This incorporates our
expectation that Varel will benefit from healthy demand for drill
bits due to high commodity prices that support a stable level of
drilling activity. It also reflects our view that Varel could cut
a majority of its fixed spending requirements in a downturn to
preserve liquidity," S&P said.

"We could consider a downgrade if liquidity worsens to less than
$20 million. We would consider an upgrade if the company is able
to increase its size and scale while maintaining liquidity of
above $40 million and debt to EBITDA below 4.0x," S&P said.


VERTIS HOLDINGS: Wins Interim Approval for $150 Million Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,

* Sanctions Upheld Against Lawyer Who Gave Judge Bottle of Wine
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Palazzolo, writing for The Wall Street Journal's Law Blog,
reports that a federal appeals court upheld sanctions against
veteran Florida bankruptcy lawyer Kevin Gleason, who called
findings by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge John Olson "half-baked"
and then sent a bottle of wine to his chambers with a handwritten
note.

Law Blog recounts Mr. Gleason, based in Hollywood, Fla., disagreed
with Judge Olson's ruling and wrote in a brief filed in April
2011, "It is sad when a man of your intellectual ability cannot
get it right when your own record does not support your half-baked
findings."  The dispute concerned commissions Mr. Gleason's client
received from a real-estate deal.  Judge Olson ruled that the
commissions had to be turned over to the administrator of the
client's Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan.  Mr. Gleason believed they
were exempt.

Law Blog relates that, a couple of weeks later, Mr. Gleason
delivered a bottle of wine to Judge Olson's chambers, with a hand-
written note that read: "Dear Judge Olson, A Donnybrook ends when
someone buys the first drink. May we resolve our issues
privately?"  Judge Olson returned the bottle.  According to Mr.
Gleason, Judge Olson never read the note; it was still sealed when
he got it back.


* Moody's Says Money Market Funds Responds to Low Yields
--------------------------------------------------------
The historically low yields are adding to the challenges faced by
the Money Market Fund (MMF) industry, and are creating a number of
unprecedented issues for MMF managers. In a new Special Comment
published on Oct. 15, Moody's Investors Service addresses the most
frequently asked questions related to the rating impact of
managers' actions to preserve NAV, and explains how Moody's
factors negative yields into its MMF rating methodology.

The new report, entitled "Frequently Asked Questions: Impact of
Negative Yields on Money Market Funds" is now available on
www.moodys.com. Moody's subscribers can access this report via the
link provided at the end of this press release.

While in the immediate term zero to negative yielding securities
would mostly affect Euro-denominated government funds due to their
limited investment options, in time the low rates will likely also
exert pressure on prime funds in Europe, as well as on MMFs in the
U.S..

In response to this anticipated negative yield environment, MMF
managers are taking a variety of actions beyond fee waivers to
offset the deterioration of funds' net asset value (NAV) and the
impact on investors, including suspending subscriptions,
transition to a variable net asset value (VNAV) structure,
imposing a reduction in share count or up-front liquidity fees.

"We will evaluate the ability of MMFs to maintain their stable net
asset value under our methodology despite the low or negative
yield." says Michael Eberhardt, a Vice President in Moody's
Managed Investments Group and the co-author of the report.
Eberhardt added that if a fund's mark-to-market NAV declines below
1.0000, Moody's would use the fund's mark-to-market value as the
starting point of the stressed NAV calculation under Moody's
Scorecard, as well as an assessment of qualitative factors, such
as the fund's original objectives and the manager's actions to
preserve capital and provide liquidity.

Moody's stated that it views actions intended to avoid NAV
deterioration as credit positive, and will evaluate them on a
case-by-case basis. However, if a fund decides to change its
structure, objectives or strategy, maintaining a high fund rating
would only be achievable if the fund offers investors an option to
redeem their shares at par, and based on all the MMF's original
terms, before implementation of the proposed changes or
transition.


* Military Spending Cuts Spur Defense Firm Consolidation
--------------------------------------------------------
Military spending cuts will spur continued consolidation in the
defense industry despite the collapse of the proposed merger
between BAE Systems plc and European Aeronautic Defense & Space
Co. (EADS), Moody's Investors Service says in a new report,
"Defense Industry Consolidation Still Likely Despite Failure of
BAE-EADS Deal."

"Significant spending cuts in the US and Europe point to the
urgent need for defense companies to cut costs and improve
operating efficiencies through consolidation and other
restructuring actions," says Senior Vice President and author of
the report Russell Solomon.

The failed merger between BAE Systems and EADS does not change
that reality, Solomon says, though it does illustrate the
difficulty of executing cross-border mega-mergers among defense
companies. The talks failed because BAE and EADS were unable to
reconcile their merger objectives with the demands of their
respective governments.

Mergers among second- and third-tier suppliers are more likely,
Solomon says, since the barriers in these cases for the most part
would be lower. And while margins are currently strong in this
part of the market, these firms will see them erode as revenues
come under pressure from declining volumes and tighter pricing.

"Smaller companies with specific capabilities will be attractive
acquisition targets," Solomon says. "Prime contractors looking to
expand their presence in a particular segment will shop for
acquisition targets that offer specific capabilities, though
competitive bidding could prompt acquirers to pay excessively high
EBITDA multiples."

And while prime contractors are the most likely acquirers, spin-
offs are also more likely as falling military budgets erode the
profitability of individual business units, prompting firms to
jettison weak performers and exit businesses that no longer fit
their revised long-term business strategies.

                            *********


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
