1250 OCEANSIDE: May Hire ETL Accounting & Pay Tom Quitiquit
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Hawaii entered an
order on August 12, 2013, authorizing 1250 Oceanside Partners,
Front Nine, LLC, and Pacific Star Company, LLC to:

  * employ ETL Accounting Service, LLC as bookkeeper; and

  * compensate the law firm Tom Quitiquit Chee & Watts.

Tom Quitiquit Chee & Watts rendered postpetition services in
preparing the Monthly "Bones" Report, in the amount of $186 and
other additional charges, not to exceed $1,000.

                  About 1250 Oceanside Partners

1250 Oceanside Partners, Front Nine LLC, and Pacific Star
Company LLC, owners of the 1,800-acre Hokuli'a luxury real
estate development near Kona on the island of Hawaii, sought
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Hawaii Lead Case No. 13-00353)
on March 6, 2013, in Honolulu.

The Debtors were formed by developer Lyle Anderson and were
part of his development "empire", which included developments
in Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico and Scotland.  The secured
lender, Bank of Scotland, declared a default and obtained
control of the Debtors in January 2008.

Development of the property, which has 3.5 miles of waterfront
on the Kona coast, stopped after the developers were declared
in default under the loan.  Oceanside and Front Nine own most
of the land within the Hokuli'a project, which is the principal
development.  Pacific Star owns the land referred to as
"Keopuka", near Hokuli'a.  The Hokuli'a was to have 730
residential units, an 18-hole golf course, club and other
amenities.

The Debtors say their assets are worth $68.1 million while they
are jointly liable to $625 million of debt to Sun Kona Finance
LLC, which acquired the Hawaii loan from Bank of Scotland.

Simon Klevansky, Esq., Alika L. Piper, Esq., and Nicole D.
Stucki, Esq., at Klevansky Piper, LLP, represent the Debtor in
its restructuring effort.  They replace the law firm of Gelber,
Gelber & Ingersoll as general counsel.

A creditors committee has not been appointed.

James A. Wagner, Esq., at Wagner Choi & Verbrugge, represents
Sun Kona Finance I, LLC and Sun Kona Finance II, LLC, as
counsel.


1250 OCEANSIDE: Hyatt & Stubblefield Approved as Special Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert J. Faris of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Hawaii entered an order on August 5, authorizing
1250 Oceanside Partners to employ Hyatt & Stubblefield, P.C. as
its special counsel effective March 6, 2013.

Hyatt & Stubblefield will serve as special counsel regarding
compliance with real estate and development agreements.

The Court held that Hyatt & Stubblefield does not hold or
represent an interest adverse to the Debtor or the estate with
respect to the matter for which counsel is to be employed and
whose employment is in the best interest of the estate.

Compensation and reimbursement for expenses are subject to
further court approval under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330 and applicable
local rules and guidelines, says Judge Faris.

                       About First Financial

Elizabethtown, Kentucky-based First Financial Service Corporation
is the parent bank holding company of First Federal Savings Bank
of Elizabethtown, which was chartered in 1923.  The Bank serves
six contiguous counties encompassing central Kentucky and the
Louisville metropolitan area, through its 17 full-service banking
centers and a commercial private banking center.

In its 2012 Consent Order, the Bank agreed to achieve and maintain
a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.0 percent and a total risk-based
capital ratio of 12.0 percent by June 30, 2012.

"At December 31, 2012, the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 6.53%
and the total risk-based capital ratio was 12.21%.  We notified
the bank regulatory agencies that one of the two capital ratios
would not be achieved and are continuing our efforts to meet and
maintain the required regulatory capital levels and all of the
other consent order issues for the Bank," the Company said in its
annual report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

First Financial disclosed a net loss attributable to common
shareholders of $9.44 million in 2012, a net loss attributable to
common shareholders of $24.21 million in 2011 and a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $10.45 million in 2010.

Crowe Horwath LLP, in Louisville, Kentucky, said in its report on
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31,
2012, "[T]he Company has recently incurred substantial losses,
largely as a result of elevated provisions for loan losses and
other credit related costs.  In addition, both the Company and its
bank subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank, are under regulatory
enforcement orders issued by their primary regulators.  First
Federal Savings Bank is not in compliance with its regulatory
enforcement order which requires, among other things, increased
minimum regulatory capital ratios.  First Federal Savings Bank's
continued non-compliance with its regulatory enforcement order may
result in additional adverse regulatory action."

Michael McClure, acting chief executive officer, stated, "We are
pleased that we achieved profitability on a quarterly basis for
the first time in years.  Our second quarter results demonstrate
continued progress as a result of actions taken with respect to
pricing, underwriting and expense reduction.  We also are
benefiting significantly from favorable non-standard personal
automobile insurance market conditions primarily in Texas and to a
lesser extent in California and Louisiana as our more aggressive
competition has subsided.  This has led to significant gross
written premium growth in 2013.  We expect these favorable
conditions to continue and possibly expand to other states.  We
are also pleased that we solved our Illinois Department of
Insurance reserve requirement issue this quarter and do not
anticipate any issues with this requirement going forward.  We are
also working with our senior lenders to find a solution for our
senior debt maturity in January 2014.  The actions we have taken
and the changes we continue to make in conjunction with the
improved market conditions should lead to continued improved
financial performance."

coverage.

AGFEED INDUSTRIES: Judge Wants More Info On CFO Bonus Pay
---------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Delaware bankruptcy judge approved most of
an executive bonus plan for hog grower AgFeed Industries Inc.,
except half of the incentive pay slated for the company's chief
financial officer because he wanted more information to decide
whether the goal in the plan was too easy to achieve.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brendan L. Shannon
said that he wanted to see some metrics regarding the value of
AgFeed's assets in order to better determine whether the six
months' salary to be awarded to CFO Gerard R. Daignault, its Chief
Financial Officer, is reasonable.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the
Debtors want to honor their obligations in connection with certain
key executive employment and incentive agreements with Edward
Pazdro, Chief Accounting Officer, and Mr. Daignault.  Mr. Pazdro
will be paid an amount equal to 12 months' salary of his then-
current or most recent base salary upon a sale event.  Mr.
Daignault, upon a sale event, will be paid an amount equal to six
months' salary of his then-current or most recent base salary.

small arms manufacturing."

On or about August 13, 2012, GDSI and Airtronic announced that
they had signed a letter of intent to enter into good faith
discussions involving a potential strategic combination in which
Airtronic would be acquired by GDSI.  Having completed those good

to file the Plan that was filed on August 21, 2013.

ALLIED INDUSTRIES: Can Use Cash Collateral Thru Yearend
-------------------------------------------------------
Judge Maureen A. Tighe approved a stipulation between Allied
Industries, Inc., and California United Bank for further extension
of cash collateral use through Dec. 31, 2013.  The Debtor may use
Cash Collateral only up to the amounts (with a 15% variance) and
for purposes set forth in a prepared budget.

CUB is afforded adequate protection for any diminution in value of
its interest in the Cash Collateral.  Specifically, CUB is granted
a replacement lien on all of the Debtor's postpetition assets.  If
that is insufficient to satisfy in full the Cash Collateral Claim,
then CUB is granted ab allowed superpriority administrative claim
under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 503(b) in the amount of any insufficiency.

Moreover, as and for adequate protection payments to CUB for the
duration of the bankruptcy case and until a plan of reorganization
is confirmed, the Debtor will make monthly payments of $13,000,
which approximates the monthly interest charges incurred on the
CUB Loan Agreements.

ALLIED SYSTEMS: PBGC to Take Control of Pension Plans
-----------------------------------------------------
Marie Beaudette, writing for DBR Small Cap, reported that the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. is taking over Allied Systems
Holdings Inc.'s pension plans, which the agency says are
underfunded by about $33 million.

                        About Allied Systems

BDCM Opportunity Fund II, LP, Spectrum Investment Partners LP, and
Black Diamond CLO 2005-1 Adviser L.L.C., filed involuntary
petitions for Allied Systems Holdings Inc. and Allied Systems Ltd.
(Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 12-11564 and 12-11565) on May 17, 2012.
The signatories of the involuntary petitions assert claims of at
least $52.8 million for loan defaults by the two companies.

Allied Systems, through its subsidiaries, provides logistics,
distribution, and transportation services for the automotive
industry in North America.

Allied Holdings Inc. previously filed for chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. N.D. Ga. Case Nos. 05-12515 through 05-12537) on July 31,
2005.  Jeffrey W. Kelley, Esq., at Troutman Sanders, LLP,
represented the Debtors in the 2005 case.  Allied won confirmation
of a reorganization plan and emerged from bankruptcy in May 2007
with $265 million in first-lien debt and $50 million in second-
lien debt.

The petitioning creditors said Allied has defaulted on payments of
$57.4 million on the first lien debt and $9.6 million on the
second.  They hold $47.9 million, or about 20% of the first-lien
debt, and about $5 million, or 17%, of the second-lien obligation.
They are represented by Adam G. Landis, Esq., and Kerri K.
Mumford, Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP; and Adam C. Harris,
Esq., and Robert J. Ward, Esq., at Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP.

subsidiaries into bankruptcy reorganization June 10, 2012,
following the filing of the involuntary Chapter 11 petition.

Gowling Lafleur Henderson, and Richards Layton & Finger.

The bankruptcy court process does not include captive insurance
company Haul Insurance Limited or any of the Company's Mexican or
Bermudan subsidiaries.  The Company also announced that it intends
to seek foreign recognition of its Chapter 11 cases in Canada.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.  The Committee consists of Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, Central States Pension Fund, Teamsters National
Automobile Transporters Industry Negotiating Committee, and
General Motors LLC.  The Committee is represented by Sidley Austin
LLP.

Yucaipa Cos. has 55 percent of the senior debt and took the
position it had the right to control actions the indenture trustee
would take on behalf of debt holders.  The state court ruled in
March 2013 that the loan documents didn't allow Yucaipa to vote.

In March 2013, the bankruptcy court also gave the official
creditors' committee authority to sue Yucaipa.  The suit includes
claims that the debt held by Yucaipa should be treated as equity
or subordinated so everyone else is paid before the Los Angeles-
based owner. The judge allowed Black Diamond to participate in the
lawsuit against Yucaipa and Allied directors.


ALLIED DEFENSE: Had $43.3MM Net Assets in Liquidation at June 30
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Allied Defense Group, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
total assets of $44.31 million, $1.04 million in total liabilities
and $43.26 million in net assets in liquidation at June 30, 2013.

                Plan of Dissolution and Liquidation

On June 24, 2010, the Company signed a definitive purchase and
sale agreement with Chemring Group PLC pursuant to which Chemring
agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of the Company
for $59,560 in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.  On
Sept. 1, 2010, the Company completed the asset sale to Chemring
contemplated by the Agreement.  Pursuant to the Agreement,
Chemring acquired all of the capital stock of Mecar for
approximately $45,810 in cash, and separately Chemring acquired
substantially all of the assets of Mecar USA for $13,750 in cash
and the assumption by Chemring of certain specified liabilities of
Mecar USA.  A portion of the purchase price was paid through the
repayment of certain intercompany indebtedness owed to the Company
that would otherwise have been cancelled at closing.  $15,000 of
the proceeds of the sale was deposited into escrow to secure the
Company's indemnification obligations under the Agreement.

In conjunction with the Agreement, the Board of Directors of the
Company unanimously approved the dissolution of the Company
pursuant to a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution.  The
Company's stockholders approved the Plan of Dissolution on
Sept. 30, 2010.  In response to concerns of certain of the
Company's stockholders, the Company agreed to delay the filing of
a certificate of dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State.
The Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Delaware
Secretary of State on Aug. 31, 2011.  In connection with this
filing, the Company's stock transfer agent has ceased recording
transfers of the Company's stock and the Company's stock is no
longer publicly traded.

AMARU INC: Delays Form 10-Q for Second Quarter
----------------------------------------------
Amaru, Inc., was unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended June 30, 2013, in a timely manner because the
Company was not able to complete timely its financial statements
without unreasonable effort or expense.

                          About Amaru Inc.

totaling $41,220,399 and $41,322,752 at Dec. 31, 2012, and 2011,
respectively, the Company's continued losses from operations and
the difficulty it has had in raising adequate additional
financing.  These conditions and the Company's lack of significant
revenue, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as going concern.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Files Motion to Set Nov. 12 Merger Trial Date
----------------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc.,
and US Airways Group, Inc. on Aug. 22 disclosed that they filed a
motion to set a trial date and a supporting brief in the United
States District Court for the District Of Columbia in connection
with the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding
the merger of the two airlines.  In the motion, American Airlines
and US Airways have requested a Nov. 12, 2013 trial date.

"We strongly believe in the significant benefits the merger of
American Airlines and US Airways will deliver to consumers,
communities and employees," said Tom Horton, AMR's Chairman,
President and CEO, and incoming Chairman of the Board of the new
American Airlines.  "The people of American Airlines have worked
extremely hard over the past two years to lead our company through
a remarkable and successful restructuring and turnaround.  After
all of their contributions, we are ready to move forward with this
merger.  We look forward to beginning this trial in November so we
can complete our journey toward building the new American and
deliver on the promise of this merger."

In their filing, the Companies explain that their proposed trial
date is very reasonable by recent historical standards.  The DOJ
request for 180 days, especially with one of the parties in
bankruptcy, however, would be unprecedented and unreasonable in
the circumstances.  Based on the DOJ merger cases litigated to a
decision since 2001, the average time from the DOJ's complaint to
trial is 70 days.

"We are eager to show that the DOJ's action would deny millions of
customers access to a more competitive airline that will offer
customers what they want, delivering significant benefits to
consumers, communities and employees," said Doug Parker, Chairman
and CEO, US Airways, incoming CEO of the combined company.  "The
new American Airlines is predicated on growth.  This merger is the
foundation of American's plan to exit bankruptcy and is the
cornerstone of American's and US Airways' plan to form a more
competitive and cost-effective airline to take on the country's
largest air carriers -- Delta, United Airlines, and Southwest --
and a number of fast-growing low-cost carriers, including Virgin
America, JetBlue, Spirit, and Allegiant.  We are committed to
resolving this litigation and, if necessary, will pursue all legal
options in order to achieve this merger."

                              DOJ Suit

Susan Carey, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reports that
AMR and USAir had hoped to close the proposed merger this month.
On Aug. 13, the Justice Department filed suit to block the merger,
which underpins AMR's bankruptcy-exit plan.

According to the report, the airlines noted in their filing that
the Justice Department is seeking a trial date of Feb. 10, at the
earliest.  The airlines stressed in their filing that the merger
pact has a termination clause that gives either side the right to
terminate the deal on Dec. 13 if the necessary regulatory hurdles
haven't yet been cleared. The deadline adds to the "uncertainty"
for the airlines' employees and customers if the government's
proposal for a later trial date is accepted, they said.

WSJ notes that a Justice Department spokeswoman said Thursday that
the timetable proposed by the agency "is typical in a merger
transaction of this magnitude, which affects so many consumers."
She said the schedule proposed "is almost identical" to one set by
a court in 2011, when the government sought to block the purchase
of T-Mobile USA by AT&T Inc. The two companies ultimately called
off the deal.

Karen Jacobs and Nick Brown, writing for Reuters, report that
American and its creditors face a deadline on Friday, Aug. 23, to
file briefs on why a judge should confirm American's bankruptcy
plan despite the Justice Department's challenge to the merger.
Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane last week refused to sign off on the
plan, citing the Justice Department's opposition. He gave parties
until Friday to file briefs on the best course of action.

Reuters notes AMR, its unsecured creditors committee, and its
three primary unions all favor the tie-up. Already one union, the
Transport Workers' Union, which represents groundworkers, has
filed papers urging Judge Lane to approve, saying the Justice
Department's lawsuit is not relevant to whether the plan can or
should receive a judge's blessing.  The Union said approval of the
plan "at this juncture will satisfy one of the most fundamental
and important conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the
plan."

According to the report, AMR and its creditors committee each plan
to file papers on Friday.  US Airways will not file a brief,
according to a source close to the matter, Reuters reports.  The
source also said AMR and the creditors committee will argue that
Judge Lane is free to confirm the plan, because his approval would
not trigger implementation of the merger.  Rather, Lane's approval
would allow the parties to focus squarely on resolving the
antitrust challenge, the parties will argue.  The source declined
to be named because discussions are private.

                        Irrelevant to Plan

Law360 reported that the Transport Workers Union of America urged
a New York bankruptcy court to approve a reorganization plan that
would unite American Airlines' parent company and US Airways Group
Inc., arguing the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust suit
aiming to scuttle the merger is irrelevant.

According to the report, the AFL-CIO member contends that neither
the filing of the DOJ's action nor the outcome of the litigation
are of concern as to whether the plan should be confirmed.

The antitrust suit is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA et al v.
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-01236 (D.D.C.).

will carry out the merger.  By distributing stock in the merged
airlines, the plan is designed to pay all creditors in full, with
interest. The hearing before the Court to consider confirmation of
the Plan is scheduled for Aug. 15, 2013.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Unions Call for Speedy Trial in Merger Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Allied Pilots Association, the US Airline Pilots Association,
the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, Association of
Flight Attendants-CWA, the Transport Workers Union and the
Communications Workers of America, unions representing 70,000
American Airlines and US Airways employees, including pilots,
flight attendants, mechanics, technicians, aircraft dispatchers,
call center representatives, and others, on Aug. 22 echoed the
companies' request for a November 12, 2013 trial date in
connection with the US Department of Justice's lawsuit.

The unions issued the following statement:

We urge the U.S. District Court and the Department of Justice to
begin the trial on November 12, 2013 in order to get to a speedy
resolution to this exciting merger.

Our message to consumers everywhere is simple: "Let us compete for
your business" starting as soon as possible.

Our members want a fair shot at competing in the marketplace.  The
airlines we work for, US Airways and American Airlines, can
together succeed in a way that neither airline can alone, bringing
new competition to the domestic and international airlines that
serve Americans.  The improved network and higher quality product
will attract new customers, allowing the airlines to compete with
the megacarriers in a way neither airline can do alone, creating
greater job security for our members as a result.

Delaying a trial puts our families and our customers at further
risk.  For American and its employees, the uncertainty of the last
two years in bankruptcy has already exacted a heavy toll.
Employees at US Airways have had similar hardships with two
bankruptcies since 9-11.  In order to make new American
competitive, that uncertainly should be ended as soon as possible.

The livelihoods of hard-working aviation professionals at American
and US Airways hang in the balance. Jobs are at stake if this
merger does not go through.  For our members, job security that
comes with truly competitive airlines is on hold as we wait for
trial.

Our members have borne the brunt of the severe turbulence in the
aviation industry.  Justice delayed is justice denied for our
members.  This merger makes sense for competition, customers, and
the members we represent who want nothing more than to compete
aggressively on a level playing field to serve those customers.

AMERICAN DENTAL: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B-'; Outlook Negative
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Wakefield, Mass.-based American Dental Partners
Inc. (ADP) to 'B-' from 'B'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its credit rating on ADP's senior
secured debt to 'B-' from 'B'.  S&P's recovery rating on this debt
remains unchanged at '3', indicating its expectation for
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery of principal in the event of
payment default.

"The rating on ADP continues to reflect the company's "vulnerable"
business risk profile, characterized by its narrow scope of
operations in intensely competitive and somewhat cyclical markets
with low barriers to entry.  We believe it will be challenging for
ADP to achieve moderate growth and lowered our expectations for
ADP's EBITDA generation and cash flow over the next year mainly
because we do not expect near-term profit margin improvement,"
said credit analyst Gail Hessol.  "We expect ADP's lease-adjusted
debt leverage (7.6x as of June 30, 2013) to remain above 7x for
the next few quarters, consistent with a "highly leveraged"
financial risk profile."

S&P's negative rating outlook on ADP reflects the possibility that
it will exhaust its revolving credit facility or violate a loan
covenant over the next year, given its expectation for negative
cash flow.  S&P could lower its ratings if liquidity deteriorates
further, as indicated by a projected covenant cushion of less than
5%.  This could result from further EBITDA margin compression,
aggressive expansion, a costly legal settlement, or other
developments.  S&P believes the company would breach a loan
covenant if bank-calculated EBITDA for the 12 months ended
March 31, 2014, is about $3 million lower than bank-calculated
EBITDA for the 12 months ended June 30, 2013.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if it is confident that ADP
can sustain EBITDA growth, generate modest discretionary cash
flow, and maintain a covenant cushion in excess of 10%.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"We are attempting to extend the maturity date of all outstanding
debt securities due in the years 2012 and 2013, but can provide no
assurance that the holders of such securities will agree to extend
the maturity date on these securities on acceptable terms.  We are
also discussing the possibility of these debt holders converting
the securities into equity.  If our debt holders choose not to
convert certain of these securities into equity, we will need to
repay such debt, or reach an agreement with the debt holders to
extend the terms thereof.  If we are forced to repay the debt,
this need for funds would have a material adverse impact on our
business operations, financial condition and prospects, would
threaten our ability to operate as a going concern and may force
us to seek bankruptcy protection," the Company said in the interim
report.

C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., and their subsidiaries and
affiliates.

The DIP Facility matures on Oct. 4, 2013.

The Debtor is authorized to draw on the DIP Facility, subject to
the conditions precedent set forth in the Amended DIP Term Sheet,
and to use proceeds of the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral to pay
for, among other things, working capital and general corporate
purposes of the Debtor and the administration of the Bankruptcy
Case, but only in accordance with the current Budget.

The Lenders will have the right to "credit bid" the allowed
amount of any "Loans" outstanding under the DIP Facility during
any sale of any of the Debtor's assets pledged as Collateral,
including without limitation in connection with any sale pursuant
to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or included as part of a
plan of reorganization subject to confirmation under section
1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Bankruptcy Code.

No plan of reorganization or liquidation may be confirmed in the
Bankruptcy Case unless, in connection and concurrently with the
effective date of such plan, the plan provides for the
indefeasible payment in full, in cash, and in complete
satisfaction of any Loans made under the DIP Facility, and the
loan commitments under the Amended DIP Term Sheet and this Final
Order are terminated on or before the effective date of such plan.

In the event that there is a timely, properly commenced and
successful Challenge to the validity, enforceability, extent,
perfection, valuation or priority of the Prepetition Obligations
or the security interests and liens granted under the Prepetition
Obligations, the Court reserves the right to unwind,
recharacterize or disgorge, the Prepetition Obligations in respect
of the Roll Up (and, to the extent accrued and paid after the
Petition Date, any fees, expenses, and interest) or a portion
thereof.

                  Creditors Committee's Objection

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors objected to the DIP
Motion, citing key features and provisions of the DIP Facility
that are extremely prejudicial to the interests and the Debtor's
estate as a whole.

According to papers filed with the Court on August 7, these
objectionable provisions include, among other things, a
stipulation that the Debtor is indebted to the Lenders in an
amount not less than $33 million secured by essentially all assets
of the Debtor - without any justification for how this amount was
calculated, a conversion or "roll up" of $33 million in
prepetition debt to postpetition debt, inappropriate case
controls, and onerous Chapter 11 milestones and releases that
constrain the Debtor's fiduciary duties to its creditors, inhibit
the Debtor's ability to sell its assets in such a way that
maximizes value for all creditors and unduly slants the playing
field in favor of the Lenders, who are also the Debtor's
prepetition lenders, supplier and the entities that sold these
assets to the Debtor in a highly leveraged and highly questionable
transaction "little more than a year ago."

BEST BUY: S&P Revises Outlook to Stable & Affirms 'BB' CCR
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised the outlook on
Minneapolis-based Best Buy Co. Inc. to stable from negative.  S&P
also affirmed all of its ratings on the company, including the
'BB' corporate credit rating.  S&P based the outlook revision on
the company's second quarter operating results, which were better
than it expected.  While S&P believes the company could experience
some margin and profit pressure as a result of various pricing,
selling, and operational initiatives, it thinks downside risk has
moderated and that the company should be able to maintain adjusted
leverage in the high 2x area over the near term.

"The rating on Best Buy reflects our view of the company's
business risk profile as "weak", which we based on the inherent
risks of the cyclical consumer electronics business that depends
on new products for propelling sales growth.  It also incorporates
our view of the competitive environment Best Buy faces from
internet-based retail formats, discounters, warehouse clubs, and
other big-box retailers in many of its product categories," said
credit analyst Charles Pinson-Rose.  "We have revised our
financial risk assessment to "intermediate" from "significant",
which is based on our forecasted credit ratios.  We now believe
that the company will maintain operating lease adjusted leverage
in the high 2x area over the near to intermediate term."

The outlook is stable and incorporates S&P's expectation that the
sales trends should improve moderately.  While S&P expects there
could be wide range of margin performance, it expects EBITDA to
remain in a range such that leverage would remain in the high 2x
area and FFO/debt above 30%, both of which are appropriate for the
current financial risk assessment.

S&P would consider a lower corporate credit rating if adjusted
EBITDA was in $1.4 billion area, leading to adjusted debt to
EBITDA near 3.5x.  This could occur if the company's total
revenues decline by about 5% in 2013 and operating margins
declined about 150 basis points.

S&P would raise its rating on the company if it revises its
business risk assessment to "fair" from "weak", which would mostly
likely be predicated on the company's selling initiatives gaining
traction and the company growing sales and profits meaningfully
and sustainably.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was
$1,226,900, compared to $1,943,140 for the six months ended
June 30, 2012, a decrease of 37 percent.  The reduction in sales
resulted primarily from a 63 percent decrease in license revenue.

net loss of $249,921 for the first half of 2012.

Michael DePasquale, BIO-key CEO, noted, "Although I am
disappointed with orders slipping from our second quarter, it's
the nature of our emerging business.  We are, however, tracking to
plan with InterDigital, our sales and collections remain more
diverse, and we continue to manage expenses well."

Mr. DePasquale concluded, "Our recent working capital raise from
existing accredited investors provides us with flexibility to
continue to invest in sales, marketing and R&D as we position
ourselves to compete for business in the oncoming Mobile
Credentialing build-out.  We are very excited about the
opportunities we see emerging."

---------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Delaware bankruptcy judge signed off on a
deal between the Chapter 7 trustee for bankrupt ethanol company
Bionol Clearfield LLC and Pennsylvania pipeline owner TWP Pipeline
LLC to resolve a dispute over Bionol's liquidation auction.

from 1.00% with no change to maturity. Booz Allen's Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating, Ba3 secured bank debt ratings and stable outlook
are unaffected.

CHARTER SCHOOL: S&P Lowers Rating on 2012A & 2012B Bonds to 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its long-term
rating five notches to 'B' from 'BBB-' on Boynton Beach, Fla.'s
series 2012A tax-exempt and 2012B taxable revenue bonds, issued
for and supported by the Charter School of Boynton Beach.  The
outlook is negative.

"The downgrade and negative outlook reflect the school's deficit
operating performance in fiscal 2012," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Carolyn McLean.  Furthermore, a projected deficit
performance for fiscal 2013 means coverage of maximum annual debt
service (MADS), including lease payments, will be below 1x.  The
school has limited financial flexibility given its relatively weak
cash position.

The downgrade takes into account the school's inability to meet
enrollment targets for the 2013-2014 school year, which resulted
in the cancelation of classes for grades 10-12.  Management also
expects to incur a debt of $7 million to $8 million in the next
few years to purchase a leased building.  S&P believes the
additional debt would further pressure the rating.  Another
negative factor is the school's below-average academic performance
of 'D' as rated by the state.  In S&P's view, declining
enrollment, combined with lower revenue expected for fiscal 2014
and a low cash position, could cause credit quality to deteriorate
to a point where the school would be more in line with a lower
rating.  Although the school expects to be compliant with bond
covenants based on fiscal 2013 audited results, S&P believes that
measurements will be close to or potentially below covenant
thresholds, which is another indicator of a noninvestment-grade
credit.

Located in Boynton Beach, the school began operations in the 2002-
2003 school year with 90 students in kindergarten through third
grade.  In the 2012-2013 year, the school had 835 students in
grades K-11.


CHILE MINING: Delays June 30 Quarter Form 10-Q for Audit
--------------------------------------------------------
Chile Mining Technologies Inc. was unable to file its Form 10-Q
within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or
expense due to the fact that the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, has not been
completed.  The Company anticipates that it will file its Form
10-Q within the five-day grace period provided by Exchange Act
Rule 12b-25.

                         About Chile Mining

Chile Mining Technologies Inc. is a mineral extraction company
based in the Republic of Chile, with copper as its principal "pay
metal."  Its founders, Messrs. Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana and
Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada, have refined the electrowin
process in a way that permits the electrowin process to be used at
a relatively small mine and/or tailings sites.  Electrowinning is
a process in which positive and negative electrodes are placed in
an acidic solution containing copper ions, and an electric current
passed through the solution causes the copper to be deposited on
the negative electrodes so that it can be collected.

Chile Mining incurred a net loss of $4.38 million on $261,089 of
sales for the year ended March 31, 2013, as compared with a net
loss of $3.94 million on $433,554 of sales during the prior fiscal
year.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $7.71 million in total
assets, $11.82 million in total liabilities and a $4.10 million
stockholders' deficiency.

Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, issued
a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the continuance of the Company is dependent
upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable
operations from the production of copper.  This raises substantial
doubt about it ability to continue as a going concern.

auditors noted that the Company does not have the necessary
working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity,
which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.

COSTA BONITA: Seeks to Extend Plan Filing Deadline to Oct. 25
-------------------------------------------------------------
Costa Bonita Beach Resort, Inc. filed a motion with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court seeking an extension until Oct. 25, 2012, of the
deadline to file its Chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement.

Costa Bonita Beach Resort, Inc., owns 50 apartments at the Costa
Bonita Beach Resort in Culebra, Puerto Rico.  It filed a
bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code for
the first time (Bankr. D.P.R. Case No. 09-00699) on Feb. 3, 2009.
During this case, the Court entered an Opinion and Order finding
that the Debtor satisfied all three (3) prongs of the Single Asset
Real Estate, and, as such is a SARE case subject to 11 U.S.C. Sec.
362(d)(3). The Court also entered an Order modifying the automatic
stay to allow creditor DEV, S.E., to continue in state court
proceedings for the removal of the illegal easement and the
restoration of DEV, S.E.'s land to its original condition by the
Debtor.  The first bankruptcy petition was dismissed on May 10,
2011 on the grounds that the Debtor failed to comply with an April
21, 2011 Order and the Debtor's failure to maintain adequate
insurance.  The case was subsequently closed on Oct. 11, 2011.

Costa Bonita Beach Resort filed a second bankruptcy petition
(Bankr. D.P.R. Case No. 12-00778) on Feb. 2, 2012, in Old San
Juan, Puerto Rico.  In the 2012 petition, the Debtor said assets
are worth $15.1 million with debt totaling $14.2 million,
including secured debt of $7.8 million.  The apartments are valued
at $9.6 million while a restaurant and some commercial spaces at
the resort are valued at $3.67 million.  The apartments serve as
collateral for the $7.8 million while the commercial property is
unencumbered.

Bankruptcy Judge Enrique S. Lamoutte presides over the 2012 case.
Charles Alfred Cuprill, Esq., serves as counsel in the 2012 case.
The petition was signed by Carlos Escribano Miro, president.


COVENTRY MALL: Area Mall Goes Into Receivership
-----------------------------------------------
John Strickler at Mainline Media News reports that a notice posted
to the doors of the Coventry Mall Monday announced a pending
receiver's sale of the mall property.

The report relates that according to the notice, U.S. Bank
National Association sought and received approval of the sale in
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  The
property will be sold to the highest bidder at auction on
Sept. 19.

The notice states the plaintiff, U.S. Bank, was owed $62.4 million
plus "continuing interests and costs" as of June 26, the report
notes.

Anyone holding a lien on the property will be deprived of their
rights once a sale goes through and must "take appropriate steps
to protect their rights" according to the notice, the report
discloses.

The report notes that anyone bidding on the property at auction
will be required to present 20 percent of the amount bid as a
nonrefundable deposit in the form of cash, check or cashier's
check at the time of the sale, with the balance to be paid in 30
days from the date of sale, according to the notice.

As of Aug. 20, the stores located inside the mall were operating
as normal and the mall was open normal business hours, the report
adds.


CPG INT'L: No Immediate Impact on Moody's Rating over Ares Deal
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's says the recent announcement by Ares Management and
Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan that they have agreed to purchase
CPG International Inc., from AEA Investors is potentially credit
negative, but does not immediately impact the company's B2
Corporate Family Rating or stable rating outlook because the
structure of the transaction, including terms and conditions of
any related financing, has not been announced. Moody's view is
based on terms disclosed by Ares Management and Ontario Teachers'
Pension Plan in their public announcement.

CPG International Inc., headquartered in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
is a leading manufacturer of premium, low maintenance building
products for residential (AZEK and TimberTech), Commercial
(Scranton Products) and industrial markets (Vycom). CPG has
developed and/or acquired a number of branded products including
AZEK Trim, AZEK Deck, AZEK Rail, TimberTech decking and railings,
Comtec and Hiny Hiders (bathroom partition systems), Resistall, as
well as TuffTec and Duralife lockers. Revenues for the twelve
month period ended June 30th, 2013 were approximately $491
million.


CRAVEN PROPERTIES: US Trustee Seeks Dismissal or Ch.7 Conversion
----------------------------------------------------------------
Guy G. Gebhardt, the United States Trustee for Region 21, filed a
motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, seeking to dismiss the
chapter 11 case of Craven Properties, L.P. or convert it to
chapter 7.

According to the U.S. Trustee, although the case has been pending
for almost a year, the Debtor has not proposed a plan of
reorganization, and it is apparent from its monthly operating
reports filed in the case that it does not have the ability to
fund a confirmable plan of reorganization.  Failure or inability
to propose a plan within a reasonable period of time constitutes
cause for dismissal or conversion of a chapter 11 case under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b).

Hearing on the motion is set for Sept. 9, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. in
Courtroom 103, Gainesville.

Chapter 11.  For that reason, the Debtor is seeking to extend the
time within which it might exclusively file a Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"If future covenant or other defaults occur under the Term Loan
Agreement or under the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving
Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Foothill Canada ULC (the
"Revolving Credit Lender"), the Company does not anticipate having
sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay the debt under these
agreements should it be accelerated and would be forced to
restructure these agreements and/or seek alternative sources of
financing.  There can be no assurances that restructuring of the
debt or alternative financing will be available on acceptable
terms or at all.  In the event of an acceleration of the Company's
obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement or Term Loan
Agreement and the Company's failure to pay the amounts that would
then become due, the Revolving Credit Lender and Term Loan Lenders
could seek to foreclose on the Company's assets, as a result of
which the Company would likely need to seek protection under the
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or its affiliates might
be required to seek protection under the provisions of applicable
bankruptcy codes," according to the Company's annual report for
the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.


DOLE FOOD: Moody's Mulls Downgrade Following Privatization Talks
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings for Dole Food
Company, Inc. under review for downgrade, including its B1
Corporate Family Rating. This follows the company's recent
announcement that its board of directors has approved Chairman and
CEO David Murdock's upsized bid to take the company private. The
offer, which values the company at approximately $1.6 billion
(including debt), is still subject to a shareholder vote. The
review will focus upon the pro forma capital structure,
management's financial policies going forward, and the company's
strategic objectives as a private company.

The following ratings are under review for downgrade:

Dole Food Company, Inc.:

Corporate Family Rating of B1

Probability of Default Rating B1-PD

$180 million 5-year senior secured revolving credit facility at
Ba3 (LGD 3, 32%)

$675 million 7-year term loan B at Ba3 (LGD 3, 32%)

The following rating is affirmed:

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating is SGL-2.

Ratings Rationale:

Dole's existing B1 CFR reflects the earnings and cash flow
volatility inherent in its commodity-oriented business, its
relatively high leverage, as well as the impact of uncontrollable
factors such as weather and regulations on key products. Dole
benefits from sizeable scale, with over $4.2 billion in proforma
2012 revenues, leading market positions in a number of categories,
and good geographic diversity. Dole's geographic diversity is
reflected from the fact that 61% of its revenues are from North
America and 32% from Europe on a pro forma 2012 basis. The
company's April 2013 sale of its worldwide packaged foods and Asia
fresh produce businesses left the remaining company largely
concentrated in fresh fruits and vegetables.

Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, Dole Food Company,
Inc. is a leading producer of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables.
2012 sales, proforma for the sale of its worldwide packaged foods
and Asia fresh produce businesses were approximately $4.2 billion.
Dole's chairman, David Murdock, and his affiliates beneficially
own approximately 40% of the company's common stock.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Protein and Agriculture Industry published in May 2013. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

company will control 100 percent of the working interest thru
discovery.  As part of its work program, Hydrocarb is currently
acquiring a high-resolution aerial gravity magnetics survey over
the entire concession.

In addition to its large Namibia concession, Hydrocarb is
currently in final negotiations for lucrative production-sharing
contracts with several African nations in the prolific East
African Rift play, which has seen multi-billion barrel discoveries
in recent years.

The Hydrocarb management team has extensive international
exploration and production experience.  Hydrocarb's aggressive,
high potential strategy complements Duma's focus on domestic oil
and gas production.  Otaiba-Hydrocarb, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Hydrocarb Energy with headquarters in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., holds
a comprehensive oil and gas field services license issued by the
Supreme Petroleum Council of U.A.E. and offers a full range of oil
industry services to the lucrative Middle East sector.  With over
$100 billion annually in revenues from oil production, Abu Dhabi
is in the midst of a five-year, $40 billion effort to maintain and
increase its reserve base, seeking collaboration with industry
experts such as Hydrocarb's technical team.

Jeremy G. Driver, CEO of Duma stated, "Hydrocarb's wealth of
experience in oilfield development and high-potential
international exploration, combined with Duma's proven domestic
oil and gas assets creates a powerful alliance that will greatly
increase shareholder value."

                        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.

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

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has tapped Milbank,
Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, as its bankruptcy counsel.

Michael S. Stamer, Esq., David H. Botter, Esq., and Abid Qureshi,
Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, represent the
Unofficial Second Lien Noteholders Committee.

The Retirees Committee has hired Haskell Slaughter Young &
Rediker, LLC, and Arent Fox, LLC as Co-Counsel; Zolfo Cooper,
LLC, as Bankruptcy Consultants and Financial Advisors; and the

Kodak completed the $527 million sale of digital-imaging
technology on Feb. 1, 2013.  Kodak intends to reorganize by
focusing on the commercial printing business.

At the end of April 2013, Kodak filed a proposed reorganization
plan offering 85 percent of the stock to holders of the remaining
$375 million in second-lien notes. The other 15 percent is for
unsecured creditors with $2.7 billion in claims and retirees who
have a $635 million claim from the loss of retirement benefits.

ENVISION HEALTHCARE: Moody's Alters Rating Outlook to Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the rating outlook on Envision
Healthcare Corporation to stable from negative. Concurrently,
Moody's affirmed the B2 Corporate Family Rating and the B2-PD
Probability of Default Rating. In addition, Moody's lowered
Envision's senior secured term loan rating to B1 from Ba3 and the
senior unsecured notes rating to Caa1 from B3. Moody's also
affirmed the Caa1 senior PIK-Toggle notes rating at Envision
Healthcare Holdings, Inc. and will withdraw the rating once the
notes have been repaid.

The change in the rating outlook reflects the improvement in
Envision's debt capital structure, namely the repayment of $450
million PIK-toggle notes with proceeds raised from the company's
$1.1 billion initial public offering. Moody's estimates that pro
forma leverage for the LTM period ending June 30, 2013, improved
to 5.5 times from 6.5 times. It is Moody's expectation that
Envision's leverage will remain within the range of 4.8 times to
5.5 times for the next twelve months and that the company will
remain disciplined with the use of cash on hand (about $480
million) primarily for a combination of acquisitions and further
debt repayment.

The lowering of the company's term loan and unsecured notes
ratings reflects less loss absorption within the capital structure
that had previously been provided by the $450 million PIK-toggle
notes at Envision HealthCare Holdings'. The PIK notes added
cushion to the existing senior secured term loan and unsecured
notes in accordance with Moody's loss given default methodology.

Envision Healthcare Corporation

Ratings lowered:

Senior secured term loan due 2018 to B1 (LGD 3, 35%) from Ba3 (LGD
2, 26%)

Senior unsecured notes due 2019 to Caa1 (LGD 5, 83%) from B3 (LGD
5, 71%)

Ratings affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating at B2

Probability of Default Rating at B2-PD

Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc.:

Ratings to be withdrawn at closing

Senior PIK-Toggle notes due 2017 at Caa1 (LGD6, 93%)

Ratings Rationale:

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects moderately high financial
leverage following the company's repayment of $450 million PIK
Toggle Notes, with proceeds from its initial public offering. Pro
forma leverage is estimated to be 5.5 times as of June 30, 2013,
which is an improved from the 6.5 times for the same period. These
developments have allowed Envision to build additional cash
reserves and will likely aid in the company's ability to invest in
moderate sized acquisitions without detrimental effect on credit
metrics. Moody's believes that Envision will continue to focus on
reducing debt with available free cash flow as capital spending is
expected to remain modest. The company's rating benefits from its
significant scale in its two primarily segments, which are
otherwise very fragmented among other providers.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the company
will continue to benefit from both organic expansion of operations
as well as moderate-sized acquisitions. The outlook also reflects
Moody's anticipation that the company will remain disciplined in
its acquisition strategy with respect to leverage and its
expansion into newer service areas.

The ratings could be upgraded over time if debt reduction or
profitable growth results in debt / EBITDA sustained below 4.5x
and free cash flow to debt above 8%.

The ratings could be downgraded if retained cash flow-to-debt
declines below 5.0% and debt leverage is sustained above 6 times.
Further, if Envision pursues additional acquisitions that are not
de-leveraging or shareholder friendly initiatives, the ratings
could be downgraded. Additionally, if government reimbursement
levels are significantly reduced in any segment of the company's
business, professional liability claims rise materially above
current levels, or if payor mix shifts materially impacting
pricing, such that the company is expected to have negative free
cash flow for a sustained period, the ratings could be downgraded.

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

Envision HealthCare Corporation is a leading provider of emergency
medical services in the U.S. Envision operates through three
business segments: EmCare is the company's emergency department
and hospital physician outsourcing segment, AMR is a leading
provider of medical transport in the U.S and Evolution Health is
an emerging provider of comprehensive physician-led post-hospital
management solutions.


EXCEL MARITIME: Committee Seeks to Hire Jefferies as Banker
-----------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that Excel Maritime Carriers' official
committee of unsecured creditors filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court a motion to retain Jefferies (Contact: Richard Morgner) as
investment banker for a monthly fee of $125,000 and a transaction
fee of $1,250,000 under consummation of any transaction.

The motion explains, "The Committee's selection of Jefferies as
its investment banker was based on the Committee's determination
that Jefferies is the best candidate for the services to be
provided and that its proposed fee structure is competitive and
appropriate given the Committee's understanding of the facts and
circumstances of these chapter 11 cases. The Committee further
selected Jefferies to act as its investment banker in these
chapter 11 cases because of its significant expertise in providing
investment banking services to debtors and creditors in
restructurings and distressed situations."

quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013,
will reflect changes from the corresponding period for its last
fiscal year, which changes cannot yet be quantified, and some of
which may be significant.  The changes arise from the fact that
the Company engaged in a reverse acquisition on June 3, 2013, and
accordingly, the historical operations that will be reflected in
the earnings statement included in the Form 10-Q will reflect the
historical results of Finjan, Inc.

issued a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, citing
recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and an
accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

                        About First Financial

Elizabethtown, Kentucky-based First Financial Service Corporation
is the parent bank holding company of First Federal Savings Bank
of Elizabethtown, which was chartered in 1923.  The Bank serves
six contiguous counties encompassing central Kentucky and the
Louisville metropolitan area, through its 17 full-service banking
centers and a commercial private banking center.

In its 2012 Consent Order, the Bank agreed to achieve and maintain
a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.0 percent and a total risk-based
capital ratio of 12.0 percent by June 30, 2012.

"At December 31, 2012, the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 6.53%
and the total risk-based capital ratio was 12.21%.  We notified
the bank regulatory agencies that one of the two capital ratios
would not be achieved and are continuing our efforts to meet and
maintain the required regulatory capital levels and all of the
other consent order issues for the Bank," the Company said in its
annual report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

First Financial disclosed a net loss attributable to common
shareholders of $9.44 million in 2012, a net loss attributable to
common shareholders of $24.21 million in 2011 and a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $10.45 million in 2010.

Crowe Horwath LLP, in Louisville, Kentucky, said in its report on
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31,
2012, "[T]he Company has recently incurred substantial losses,
largely as a result of elevated provisions for loan losses and
other credit related costs.  In addition, both the Company and its
bank subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank, are under regulatory
enforcement orders issued by their primary regulators.  First
Federal Savings Bank is not in compliance with its regulatory
enforcement order which requires, among other things, increased
minimum regulatory capital ratios.  First Federal Savings Bank's
continued non-compliance with its regulatory enforcement order may
result in additional adverse regulatory action."


FIRST MARINER: Incurs $1.5 Million Net Loss in Second Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
First Mariner Bancorp filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss
of $1.48 million on $9.92 million of total interest income for the
three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with net income of
$5.67 million on $11.17 million of total interest income for the
same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net
loss of $3.75 million on $21.05 million of total interest income,
as compared with net income of $7.49 million on $22.78 million of
total interest income for the same period during the prior year.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.21 billion in total
assets, $1.22 billion in total liabiliteis and a $13.26 million in
total stockholders' deficit.

Mark A. Keidel, 1st Mariner's interim chief executive officer,
said, "Our results this quarter were dampened by rising long term
interest rates, which slowed refinancings and overall revenue from
our mortgage banking operations as compared to the second quarter
of 2012.  Additionally, we experienced higher operating expenses
for professional services and expenses associated with efforts to
raise capital."

Mr. Keidel continued, "We continued to see improvement in our
asset quality during the recent quarter and our level of non-
performing assets have declined 35% in the first half of 2013.  As
a result, our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets
improved to 3.0% as of June 30, 2013, down from 4.1% as of
December 31, 2012 and 4.6% as of June 30, 2012."

Mr. Keidel concluded, "As we move into the second half of 2013, we
will continue our focus on improving our core banking
profitability and meeting the capital levels required in our
regulatory orders."

                         About First Mariner

Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, First Mariner Bancorp
-- http://www.1stmarinerbancorp.com/-- is a bank holding company
whose business is conducted primarily through its wholly owned
operating subsidiary, First Mariner Bank, which is engaged in the
general general commercial banking business.  First Mariner was
established in 1995 and has total assets in excess of $1.3 billion
as of Dec. 31, 2010.

First Mariner disclosed net income of $16.11 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $30.24 million in 2011.

Stegman & Company, in Baltimore, Maryland, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has insufficient capital per regulatory
guidelines and has failed to reach capital levels required in the
Cease and Desist Order issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation in September 2009.  These matters raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

               Regulatory matters and capital adequacy

Various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies apply to First Mariner and the Bank.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
effect on the Company's financial statements.  Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I
capital to average quarterly assets.  As of both March 31, 2013,
and Dec. 31, 2012, the Bank was "undercapitalized" under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.


FLORIDA GAMING: Miami Jai-Alai Operator Wins Nod to Use Cash
------------------------------------------------------------
Florida Gaming Centers Inc. and its debtor-affiliates -- entities
operating the Miami Jai-Alai -- sought approval to use cash
collateral.  The Debtors explained that Miami Jai-Alai's immediate
use of cash collateral is necessary to maintain operations.

The Debtors explained that if the public perception of the
operations is that it does not have sufficient cash to operate it
will quickly lose its employees and customer base.

According to court papers, the prepetition secured lenders are
owed approximately $128 million.  The Debtors believe that the
prepetition secured parties are fully protected with an equity
cushion of more than 30% based on an appraisal performed by an
independent appraiser.  Additionally, the Debtors provide for
further adequate protection by offering the pre-petition secured
parties a replacement lien to the extent of their lien, if any, as
of the Petition Date.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors had approximately $4 million
of cash and cash equivalents.  Of this amount, approximately $3
million consists of "cage cash," which is used in operations day
to day, such as the casino tables, slots, floor banks, and change
booths.

The Debtors submit that cage cash does not constitute cash
collateral and is excluded from the syndicated credit facility,
alleged prepetition lender liens, and other alleged prepetition
liens.  While most of the Debtors' cash would not constitute Cash
collateral, the Debtors filed a motion to access their cash and
cash equivalents out of an abundance of caution.

According to the Miami Herald, the bankruptcy judge has allowed
the Debtors to continue using cash postpetition.

Florida Gaming Centers Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 13-29597) in Miami on Aug. 19, 2013.

affiliates also sought court protection.

Florida Gaming previously negotiated a sale of virtually all its
assets to casino operator Silvermark LLC for $115 million in cash
and $14 million in assumed liabilities.  A provision in the

about $26.8 million, and valued the company at more than $180
million.

FLORIDA GAMING: Taps Salazar Jackson as Bankruptcy Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------
Florida Gaming Centers Inc. and its debtor-affiliates seek
approval from the bankruptcy court to hire Luis Salazar, and the
firm of Salazar Jackson, LLP, as general counsel, nunc pro tunc to

disinterestedness of Salazar Jackson; and (b) is a "disinterested
person" as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101(14).

Salazar Jackson has advised Miami Jai-Alai that the hourly rates
applicable to the principal attorneys, law clerks, and paralegals
proposed to represent Miami Jai-Alai are:

     (a) Luis Salazar $450.00 per hour
     (b) Linda Jackson $450.00 per hour
     (c) Aaron Honaker $350.00 per hour
     (d) Celi Aguilar $285.00 per hour
     (e) Ali-Marcelle Lee-Sin $140.00 per hour

net loss of $3.57 million in 2011.

BDO USA, LLP, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

"The Corporation's subsidiary bank ("Bank") is significantly
undercapitalized under regulatory capital guidelines and, during
2009, the Bank entered into a consent order regulatory enforcement
action ("consent order") with its primary regulator, the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency.  The consent order requires
management to take a number of actions, including, among other
things, increasing and maintaining its capital levels at amounts
in excess of the Bank's current capital levels.  As discussed in
Note 20, the Bank has not yet met the higher capital requirements
and is therefore not in compliance with the consent order.  As a
result of the uncertain potential impact of future regulatory
actions, circumstances exist that raise substantial doubt about
the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern."

                          About Four Oaks

Based in Four Oaks, North Carolina, Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc., is
the bank holding company for Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company.  The
Company has no significant assets other than cash, the capital
stock of the bank and its membership interest in Four Oaks
Mortgage Services, L.L.C., as well as $1,241,000 in securities
available for sale as of Dec. 31, 2011.

Four Oaks disclosed a net loss of $6.96 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $9.09 million in 2011.

"The Company and the Bank entered into a formal written agreement
(the "Written Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond ("FRB") and the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner
of Banks ("NCCOB") that imposes certain restrictions on the
Company and the Bank, as described in Notes H - Trust Preferred
Securities and Note K - Regulatory Restrictions.  A material
failure to comply with the Written Agreement's terms could subject
the Company to additional regulatory actions and further
restrictions on its business, which may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's future results of operations and financial
condition.

"In order for the Company and the Bank to maintain its well
capitalized position under federal banking agencies' guidelines,
management believes that the Company may need to raise additional
capital to absorb the potential future credit losses associated
with the disposition of its nonperforming assets.  Management is
in the process of evaluating various alternatives to increase
tangible common equity and regulatory capital through the issuance
of additional equity.  The Company is also working to reduce its
balance sheet to improve capital ratios and is actively evaluating
a number of capital sources, asset reductions and other balance
sheet management strategies to ensure that the projected level of
regulatory capital can support its balance sheet long-term.  There
can be no assurance as to whether these efforts will be
successful, either on a short-term or long-term basis.  Should
these efforts be unsuccessful, the Company may be unable to
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any
efforts to raise additional capital during 2013," according to the
Company's annual report for the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.

Deutsche Bank Nederland as agreed to in its Sept. 7, 2012,
amended and restated facility agreement and received notices of
default from First Business Bank.  Furthermore, the vast majority
of the Company's assets are considered to be highly illiquid and
if the Company were forced to liquidate, the amount realized by
the Company could be substantially lower that the carrying value
of these assets.  These conditions, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

                           About Good Sam

Ventura, Calif.-based Affinity Group Holding, Inc., now known as
Good Sam Enterprises, LLC, is a holding company and the direct
parent of Affinity Group, Inc.  The Company is an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of AGI Holding Corp, a privately-owned
corporation.  The Company is a member-based direct marketing
organization targeting North American recreational vehicle owners
and outdoor enthusiasts.  The Company operates through three
principal lines of business, consisting of (i) club memberships
and related products and services, (ii) subscription magazines and
other publications including directories, and (iii) specialty
merchandise sold primarily through its 78 Camping World retail
stores, mail order catalogs and the Internet.

                           *     *     *

Affinity Group Inc. carries 'B3' long term corporate family and
probability of default ratings, with 'stable' outlook, from
Moody's Investors Service.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on November 9, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Affinity Group Inc.'s
proposed $325 million senior secured notes due 2016 its
preliminary 'B-' issue-level rating.  Following the close of the
proposed transaction, S&P expects to assign a 'B-' corporate
credit rating to Affinity Group Inc., and withdraw S&P's current
'D' corporate credit rating on Affinity Group Holding Inc.  A
portion of the proceeds of the new notes will be used, in
conjunction with cash contributions from Holding's parent, to
repay in full $88 million of senior notes that are currently
outstanding at Holding.

S&P said the expected 'B-' corporate credit rating on Affinity
Group reflects S&P's expectation that, following the proposed
refinancing transaction, adjusted debt leverage will be reduced by
about 1x, the company will not have any meaningful near-term debt
maturities, and the company will generate some discretionary cash
flow (albeit minimal).  Still, credit measures will remain
relatively weak, as adjusted debt leverage will remain above 6.0x
(S&P's operating lease adjustment adds about a turn to leverage),
and S&P expects interest coverage to remain in the low- to mid-
1.0x area over the intermediate term.

the Company's common stock.  Management expects the transaction to
close in the second quarter of 2013; however, there is no
assurance the acquisition will close at that time or at all.

"If the Company is unable to close the Foundation transaction or
raise additional funds, the Company may be forced to substantially
scale back operations or entirely cease its operations and
discontinue its business.  These uncertainties raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern," according to the Company's quarterly report for the
period ended March 31, 2013.

GREENSPUN CORP: Las Vegas Sun at Risk of Folding
------------------------------------------------
Keach Hagey, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that a
family battle over the Las Vegas Sun could end with America's
gambling mecca becoming a one-newspaper town.

According to the report, the family owners of the newspaper have
struck a deal with the rival Las Vegas Review-Journal that will
likely force the Sun to fold, according to a lawsuit filed Aug. 19
in federal court in Nevada by Brian Greenspun, the Sun's publisher
and the son of its founder.

Mr. Greenspun's lawsuit seeks to block the deal, which he says was
approved by his younger siblings, on antitrust grounds, the report
said.

The battle has its roots in a 24-year-old joint-operating
agreement between the two newspapers, under which the Review-
Journal prints and sells advertising for the Sun, the report
related.  The agreement was struck in 1989, after the Sun had been
"routinely unprofitable" for years, according to the complaint.
The accord was renegotiated in 2005, when the Sun became an insert
in the Review-Journal.

Since then, the newspaper industry has been hard hit by
competition from the Internet but, in his complaint, Mr. Greenspun
argues that "absent outside influences" neither paper is "in
danger of failing in the near future."

Under a deal stuck Aug. 7, according to the lawsuit, the Sun would
release the Review-Journal from the joint-operating agreement,
leaving the Sun without a way to print or distribute the paper. In
exchange, the Review-Journal's owner, Stephens Media, would give
the Sun's owner, Greenspun Corp., $10 and ownership of the travel
website lasvegas.com.

                 About The Greenspun Corporation

The Greenspun Corporation is a privately owned, family-run company
that manages and oversees the financial interests of the Greenspun
family of Las Vegas, Nevada.  The company operates its own
businesses and invests in public and private securities, primarily
in the media, communications, travel and tourism, real estate and
gaming industries.


GROVES IN LINCOLN: Court Confirms Creditor-Payment Plan
-------------------------------------------------------
Marie Beaudette, writing for DBR Small Cap, reported that a
bankruptcy judge has confirmed the Groves in Lincoln's creditor-
payment plan, which divides up the proceeds of the Massachusetts
senior home's $30 million sale.

                     About Groves in Lincoln

The Groves in Lincoln Inc., along with affiliate The Apartments of
the Grove Inc., sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Mass. Case
No. 13-11329) in Boston on March 11, 2013.  David C. Turner signed
the petition as president and CEO.

Groves is a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation organized in
2006 for the purpose of developing and operating a senior
independent living facility in Lincoln, Massachusetts to be known
as The Groves in Lincoln.  This facility now consists of 168
independent living units on a 34-acre campus with a mix of
apartments, cottages, and related common areas including community
center, dining rooms, lounges, barbershop/beauty salon, library,
fitness center and pool.  Groves has 26 full-time employees and 22
part-time employees as of the bankruptcy filing.

Markets LLC as investment banker.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is represented by

GRUBB & ELLIS: Wash. Appeals Court Affirms Leonard Suit Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division One, held that Justin
Leonard fails to show that Grubb & Ellis Advisors, Inc. owed him a
duty.  Accordingly, there are no genuine issues of material fact
for trial, and the trial court properly granted summary judgment
dismissing Mr. Leonard's action.

Mr. Leonard sued five defendants for negligence: Grubb & Ellis;
Microsoft Corp.; Otis Elevator, Co.; Puget Sound Energy, Inc.; and
Kone, Inc.  According to the complaint, on July 25, 2007, there
was a power fluctuation at the Microsoft campus in Redmond. This
power interruption caused three "chiller plants," which housed
part of the campus's air regulation system, to shut down briefly.
When the power was restored, all three plants started up at the
same time. The large increase in current overloaded the electrical
system on the campus and blew a fuse. This blown fuse caused power
outages to several buildings on the Microsoft campus including
building 26.

Before the power outage, Mr. Leonard, an employee of Microsoft,
entered an elevator in building 26.  When the power went out, the
elevator's emergency breaks activated.  Mr. Leonard claims to have
been injured when the elevator stopped suddenly.

It appears that Mr. Leonard voluntarily dismissed his claims
against Microsoft and Otis. The trial court granted Kone's and
Puget Sound Energy's motions for summary judgment.

The remaining defendant, Grubb & Ellis, the property managers for
the Microsoft Redmond campus at the time of power disruption,
moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted the motion.

Mr. Leonard appealed the trial court's ruling.

The appellate case is, JUSTIN LEONARD, Appellant, v. GRUBB & ELLIS
EQUITY ADVISORS, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation
doing business in the state of Washington; KONE, INC., a Delaware
corporation doing business in the state of Washington; OTIS
ELEVATOR CO., a New Jersey corporation doing business in the state
of Washington; MICROSOFT CORP., a Washington corporation; PUGET
SOUND ENERGY, INC., a Washington corporation, Respondents, No.
67343-2-I (Wash. App.).

in the Chapter 11 case.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants is the claims
and notice agent.

BGC Partners, Inc., and its affiliate, BGC Note Acquisition Co.,
L.P., the DIP lender and Prepetition Secured Lender, are
represented in the case by Emanuel C. Grillo, Esq., at Goodwin
Procter LLP.

On March 27, 2012, the Court approved the sale to BCG.  An auction
was cancelled after no rival bids were submitted.  Pursuant to the
term sheet signed by the parties, BGC would acquire the assets for
$30.02 million, consisting of a credit bid the full principal
amount outstanding under the (i) $30 million credit agreement
dated April 15, 2011, with BGC Note, (ii) the amounts drawn under
the $4.8 million facility, and (iii) the cure amounts due to
counterparties.  BGC would also pay $16 million in cash because
the sale was approved by the March 27 deadline.  Otherwise, the
cash component would have been $14 million.

Approval of the sale was simplified when BGC settled with
unsecured creditors by increasing their recovery.  Grubb & Ellis
Co. was renamed Newmark Grubb Knight Frank following the sale.

Grubb & Ellis filed a liquidating Chapter 11 plan which gives
unsecured creditors an expected recovery between 1.7% and 4.7%.
The Court approved the explanatory disclosure materials in January
2013, and confirmed the Plan on March 6.  The Plan was declared
effective early in April 2013.

                        About IMH Financial

Scottsdale, Ariz.-based IMH Financial Corporation was formed from
the conversion of IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC, or the Fund, a
Delaware limited liability company, on June 18, 2010.  The
conversion was effected following a consent solicitation process
pursuant to which approval was obtained from a majority of the
members of the Fund to effect the Conversion Transactions and
involved (i) the conversion of the Fund from a Delaware limited
liability company into a Delaware corporation named IMH Financial
Corporation, and (ii) the acquisition by the Company of all of the
outstanding shares of the manager of the Fund Investors Mortgage
Holdings Inc., or the Manager, as well as all of the outstanding
membership interests of a related entity, IMH Holdings LLC, or
Holdings on June 18, 2010.

The Company is a commercial real estate lender based in the
southwest United States with over 12 years of experience in many
facets of the real estate investment process, including
origination, underwriting, documentation, servicing, construction,
enforcement, development, marketing, and disposition.  The Company
focuses on a niche segment of the real estate market that it
believes is underserved by community, regional and national banks:
high yield, short-term, senior secured real estate mortgage loans.
The intense level of underwriting analysis required in this
segment necessitates personnel and expertise that many community
banks lack, yet the requisite localized market knowledge of the
underwriting process and the size of the loans the Company seeks
often precludes the regional and community banks from efficiently
entering this market.

IMH Financial disclosed a net loss of $32.19 million in 2012, a
net loss of $35.19 million in in 2011, and a net loss of $117.04
million in 2010.


INSITE WIRELESS: Fitch to Rate $39.6MM Class B Notes at 'BB-'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects to rate InSite Wireless Group, LLC Secured
Cellular Site Revenue Notes, Series 2013-1 and assign Rating
Outlooks as follows:

-- $123,900,000 2013-1 class A 'BBBsf'; Outlook Stable;

-- $39,600,000 2013-1 class B 'BB-sf'; Outlook Stable.

Fitch has issued a presale report on the transaction.

The following class is being issued but is not rated by Fitch:

-- $14,000,000 2013-1 class C.

The expected ratings are based on information provided by the co-
issuers as of Aug. 19, 2013.

The $177.5 million InSite Wireless Group, LLC notes are backed by
mortgages representing approximately 72.7% of the annualized run
rate (ARR) net cash flow (NCF) and guaranteed by the direct parent
of the borrowers. The guarantees are secured by a pledge and
first-priority-perfected security interest in 100% of the equity
interest of the borrowers (which own or lease 512 cellular sites
and own the rights to operate 16 distributed antennae system [DAS]
networks) and the direct parent, respectively.

At closing, loan proceeds will be used to repay certain
outstanding debt obligations and for general corporate purposes.
The ratings reflect a structured finance analysis of the cash
flows from the ownership interest in cellular sites, not an
assessment of the corporate default risk of the ultimate parent,
InSite Wireless Group, LLC.

Key Rating Drivers

High Leverage: Fitch's NCF on the pool is $16.06 million, implying
a Fitch stressed debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.11x. The
debt multiple relative to Fitch's NCF is 9.47x, which equates to a
debt yield of 10.56%. Given the high amount of total leverage,
Fitch applied a rating cap of 'BBBsf' to the securitization.

Leases to Strong Tower Tenants: There are 1,236 wireless tenant
leases. Telephony/broadband tenants represent 74.8% annualized run
rate revenue (ARRR), and 49.0% of the ARRR is from investment-
grade tenants. Tenant leases on the cellular sites have average
annual escalators of approximately 3.1% and an average final
remaining term (including renewals) of 21.1 years.

DAS Networks: The collateral pool contains 16 DAS networks
representing 11.0% of the ARRR. DAS sites are located within
buildings or other structures or venues for which an asset entity
has rights under a lease or license to install and operate a DAS
on the premises or to manage a DAS network on the premises. Fitch
did not give credit for the four sites where InSite has a
management contract to manage a DAS network owned by the DAS
venue. These sites contribute 0.6% of ARRR. Additionally, Fitch
limited proceeds from the DAS networks to the 'BBsf' category
(i.e. applied a BBsf rating cap), based on the uncertainty
surrounding the licensing agreements in a venue-bankruptcy
scenario and the limited history of these networks.

Prefunding: On the closing date, approximately 14% of total
proceeds ($25.357 million) were deposited into a site acquisition
account to be used by InSite to acquire additional cellular sites
during the 12-month acquisition period. Prefunding introduces
uncertainty as to final collateral characteristics. Fitch
accounted for prefunding by stressing the NCF of the prefunding
component to reflect the most conservative prefunding pool
composition tests.

Rating Sensitivities

Fitch completed a break-even analysis comparing the interest-only
debt service with both the Fitch stressed NCF and in-place
aggregate ARR NCF, derived from data provided by the arranger,
including estimated interest rates. Fitch compared the in-place
aggregate ARR NCF and Fitch NCF with the interest-only debt
service amount and determined that 73.8% and 71.8% reductions in
NCF, respectively, would cause the 'BBBsf' notes to break even at
1.0x DSCR on an interest-only basis. Reductions to in-place
aggregate ARR NCF and Fitch NCF of 44% and 40%, respectively,
would cause the 'BB-sf' notes to break even at 1.0x DSCR on an
interest-only basis.

Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the 2013-1 class A ratings and
a 14% decline in NCF would result in a one category downgrade to
'BBsf', while a 10% decline would result in a downgrade to below
investment-grade and a 40% decline would result in a downgrade
below 'CCCsf'. Rating sensitivity was also performed for the 2013-
1 class B notes and a 10% decline in NCF would result in a one
category downgrade to 'B-sf', while a 21% decline would result in
a downgrade below 'CCCsf'. The Rating Sensitivity section in the
presale report includes a detailed explanation of additional
stresses and sensitivities.

INTERSTATE PROPERTIES: U.S. Trustee Says Plan Cannot be Confirmed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Guy G. Gebhardt, Acting United States Trustee for Region 21,
objects to Interstate Properties, LLC's Disclosure Statement and
the Debtor's Plan of Reorganization, citing:

  1. Debtor's Disclosure Statement does not include a clear
     liquidation analysis demonstrating that Debtor's Plan
     provides creditors with value that is not less than what
     creditors would receive in a chapter 7 liquidation.

  2. The Plan fails to provide for payment of all quarterly fees
     due to the United States Trustee on or before the Effective
     Date, in violation of 11 U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(12).

  3. Debtor's Plan and Disclosure Statement fail to provide for
     all claims filed in the case.

  4. Debtor's Plan and Disclosure Statement fail to appropriately
     classify all tax claims as either administrative or priority.
     Additionally, Debtor's Plan fails to provide for interest at
     the statutory rate on all tax claims.

As reported in the TCR on August 9, according to the Disclosure
Statement, funding for the Plan will be sourced from the Debtor's
income from operations and sales.

The Plan is expected to last for a period of twelve (12) months
from the Effective date, during which time the Debtor may hold
auction sales of real estate in order to complete funding of the
Plan.  Also, the Debtor believes that it will be able to refinance
The Crossings Shopping Center prior to the Effective Date and thus
reinstate and pay off American National Insurance Company's
Class 3 claim.

Carter Bank & Trust, owed $47,000,000, will be paid interest in
accordance with its loan documents and out of the proceeds from
any sales of the Debtor's Georgia and Alabama real estate holding.

General Unsecured Claims of $5,000 or greater, owed $855,000, will
be paid in full within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date.
Creditor Brent Scarbrough & Company will receive a note from
Debtor guaranteed by William Abruzzino and by agreement Carter
Bank & Trust may allow payment to Scarbrough & Company from sale
of properties on which it holds a first priority security
interest.  The same may be applicable to creditor Northstar
Engineering.

Class 11 interests of Mr. and Mrs. William Abruzzino in the Debtor
will not be paid anything but will retain their interest in the
Debtor.

J.C. PENNEY: Board Adopts "Poison Pill" Plan
--------------------------------------------
Ben Fox Rubin, writing for Dow Jones Newswires, reports that J.C.
Penney Co.'s board adopted a shareholder rights plan intended to
prevent new investors from gaining control of the company, after
William Ackman, its largest shareholder, said this week that he
may exit the struggling retailer.  The rights plan, also known as
a poison pill, is designed to dilute the value of a stock by
flooding the market with additional shares, making it expensive
for an investor to acquire a controlling stake.

According to the Dow Jones report, Penney said the poison pill,
which is in effect for one year, wasn't adopted in response to any
particular effort to acquire control of the company, though the
move comes just after Mr. Ackman, a hedge-fund manager who owns
18% of the company, said he could sell his stock.

According to Dow Jones, the poison pill would kick in if an
investor acquired 10% or more of the company's stock, but the plan
excludes Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP, as
well as Vornado Realty Trust, so long as those parties' stakes are
permitted under their agreements with the company.  Vornado has
3.9% stake in the company.

Dow Jones says Pershing and Vornado weren't immediately available
for comment.

                          About J.C. Penney

Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney Company, Inc. is one of the U.S.'s
largest department store operators with about 1,100 locations in
the United States and Puerto Rico.

J.C. Penney disclosed a net loss of $985 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $152 million in 2011.  As of May 4,
2013, the Company had $10.37 billion in total assets,
$7.50 billion in total liabilities and $2.86 billion in total
stockholders' equity.

                            *     *     *

The Company carries Moody's Investors Service's B3 Corporate
Family Rating with negative outlook.

Early in March 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered
its corporate credit rating on Penney to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The
outlook is negative.  At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-
level rating on the company's unsecured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B-'
and maintained its '3' recovery rating on this debt, indicating
S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for
debtholders in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade reflects the performance erosion that has
accelerated throughout the previous year and seems likely to
persist over the next 12 months," explained Standard & Poor's
credit analyst David Kuntz.

At the same time, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company's Issuer
Default Ratings to 'B-' from 'B'.  The Rating Outlook is Negative.
The rating downgrades reflect Fitch's concerns that there is a
lack of visibility in terms of the Company's ability to stabilize
its business in 2013 and beyond after a precipitous decline in
revenues leading to negative EBITDA of $270 million in 2012.
Penney, Fitch said, will need to tap into additional funding to
cover a projected FCF shortfall of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion in
2013, which could begin to strain its existing sources of
liquidity.

In February 2013, Penney received a notice of default from a law
firm representing more than 50% of its 7.4% Debentures due 2037.
The Company has filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court seeking
to block efforts by the bondholder group to declare a default on
the 2037 bonds.  Penney also asked lawyers at Brown Rudnick LLP to
identify the investors they represent.

In March 2013, Penney received a letter from bondholders
withdrawing and rescinding the Notice of Default.

On April 12, 2013, Penney borrowed $850 million out of its $1.85
billion committed revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as LC Agent. Penney said the move was to
enhance the Company's financial flexibility and position.

LA CUADRA: Business Plaza Developer in Omaha Files Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
Russell Hubbard, writing for the Omaha World-Herald, reports that
La Cuadra Co., the landlord and developer of a Latin-themed
business plaza, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last
week, citing debts and assets of more than $1 million, and fewer
than 50 creditors.

The report notes the plaza, at 33rd and Q Streets, began to rise
in 2006, on top of a dilapidated corner strewn with trash and
abandoned auto tires.  The first phase of the $1.5 million
development attracted a Mexican grocery, a taco shop and other
businesses.

The report relates Omaha contributed $315,000 in tax-increment
financing for initial construction.  TIF subsidizes urban projects
based upon expectations for new property-tax revenue.

"We are continuing to operate in the normal course of business,"

MOOD MEDIA: Moody's Revises Outlook on B2 CFR to Developing
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Mood Media Corporation's outlook
to developing from stable based on the recent announcement that
the company has received non-binding expressions of interest for a
possible sale of the company. The company's B2 corporate family
rating, B2-PD probability of default rating, Ba2 senior secured
credit facility rating, and B3 senior unsecured notes ratings were
affirmed, as was the company's SGL-2 (good) speculative grade
liquidity rating.

On April 4, 2013, Mood Media's Board of Directors and senior
management team initiated a process to identify strategic
alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which included a
possible sale of the company. On August 14, 2013, management
announced that they have received non-binding expressions of
interest from a third party on a potential sale of the company.
Management expects the matter to be resolved by the end of the
third quarter.

Issuer: Mood Media Corporation

Outlook Actions:

Outlook, Changed To Developing From Stable

Affirmations:

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed at B2

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed at B2-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed at SGL-2

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility May 6, 2016, Affirmed at Ba2
(LGD2, 13%)

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility May 6, 2018, Affirmed at Ba2
(LGD2, 13%)

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture Oct 15, 2020, Affirmed at
B3 with LGD Assessment revised to (LGD4, 69%) from (LGD5, 73%)

Ratings Rationale:

Mood Media's B2 CFR is influenced primarily by an aggressive
acquisition-based growth strategy and related elevated leverage
and low coverage measures. Along with execution risks related to
the business integrations, Mood Media's limited operating history
causes uncertainty that leverage and coverage will improve over
time. There are also risks that new competitors or alternative
delivery mechanisms could disrupt Mood Media's plans to expand its
audio and visual based branding services. As a Canadian issuer
with international operations, the timely and tax-effective
repatriation of cash flow may be challenging. The rating is
supported by the company's leading position as a branding services
company, its royalty-free music library which helps to contain
costs, broad customer diversification, low capital intensity and
reasonable growth prospects. The company's liquidity profile is
also a positive feature.

Rating Outlook

The developing outlook reflects uncertainty stemming from Mood
Media's ongoing process to identify strategic alternatives to
enhance shareholder value, which may include a sale of the
company.

What Could Change the Rating - Up?

Abstracting from potential strategic alternatives, should the
business model stabilize and should free cash flow be used to
repay debt, positive outlook and ratings actions would be
considered if Moody's expected the Debt/EBITDA to be sustained
below 3.5x with FCF/Debt of no worse than 7.5%. Given the
company's ongoing strategic assessment, a ratings upgrade is
unlikely.

What Could Change the Rating - Down?

Abstracting from potential strategic alternatives, were
Debt/EBITDA to increase beyond 5.0x, adverse outlook and ratings
pressure would result. The company's ongoing strategic assessment
may result in a wide range of other matters causing negative
ratings actions.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Mood Media Corporation provides
in-store subscription services using primarily audio and visual to
assist with defining a business or its customers' experience to
retail companies in Canada (1% of revenue), United States (60% of
revenue), and internationally (39% of revenue).

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Broadcast and Advertising Related Industries Methodology published
in May 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.


MONTREAL MAINE: Bernstein Shur's Keach Named Chapter 11 Trustee
---------------------------------------------------------------
Whit Richardson, writing for Bangor Daily News, reports that the
U.S. Trustees Office on Wednesday named Robert Keach, an attorney
at Bernstein Shur in Portland, as trustee of the Montreal, Maine
and Atlantic Railway as the company works through its bankruptcy
proceedings.

Reached on Thursday, Mr. Keach told Bangor Daily that the last few
days have been a whirlwind process of delving into the company's
finances, assets and prospects for sale.

"We're in the middle of gathering a lot of factual information
very quickly," Mr. Keach said, adding that the process began
before he was officially chosen on Wednesday, Bangor Daily
reports.  The process began when the Department of Transportation
put him on a list of five names, which was sent to the U.S.
Trustees Office, which has oversight responsibility for all
bankruptcy cases in the United States.

Mr. Keach is co-chairman of Bernstein Shur's Business
Restructuring and Insolvency Practice Group. He has been
practicing bankruptcy law for 30 years and is a past chairman of
the American Bankruptcy Institute's board of directors.

MOUNTAIN PROVINCE: Updates on Tuzo Mineral Resource Estimate
------------------------------------------------------------
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a report dated Aug. 13, 2013, entitled "Update
of the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Tuzo Kimberlite, Gahcho
Kue Project, Northwest Territories, Canada: NI 43-101 Techical
Report".  A copy of the Report is available for free at:

                       About Mountain Province

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Mountain Province Diamonds Inc.
(TSX: MPV, NYSE AMEX: MDM) -- http://www.mountainprovince.com/--
is a Canadian resource company in the process of permitting and
developing a diamond deposit known as the "Gahcho Kue Project"
located in the Northwest Territories of Canada.  The Company's
primary asset is its 49 percent interest in the Gahcho Kue
Project.

Mountain Province disclosed a net loss of C$3.33 million for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012, a net loss of C$11.53 million in 2011,
and a net loss of C$14.53 million in 2010.

"The Company's primary mineral asset is in the exploration and
evaluation stage and, as a result, the Company has no source of
revenues.  In each of the years December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,
the Company incurred losses, and had negative cash flows from
operating activities, and will be required to obtain additional
sources of financing to complete its business plans going into the
future.  Although the Company had working capital of $46,653,539
at December 31, 2012, including $47,693,693 of cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments, the Company has
insufficient capital to finance its operations and the Company?s
costs of the Gahcho Kue Project (Note 7) over the next 12 months.
The Company is currently investigating various sources of
additional funding to increase the cash balances required for
ongoing operations over the foreseeable future.  These additional
sources include, but are not limited to, share offerings, private
placements, credit and debt facilities, as well as the exercise of
outstanding options.  However, there is no certainty that the
Company will be able to obtain financing from any of those
sources.  These conditions indicate the existence of a material
uncertainty that results in substantial doubt as to the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern," according to the
Company's annual report for the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.

ONCURE HOLDINGS: Can Seek Votes for Ch. 11 Plan, $125MM Sale
------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Delaware bankruptcy judge approved OnCure
Holdings Inc.'s Chapter 11 disclosure statement, allowing the
private equity-owned network of oncology treatment centers to
solicit votes for a plan that includes its $125 million sale to a
competitor.

According to the report, Colorado-based OnCure and its affiliates
entered court protection June 14 in the face of a cash crunch
brought on by declining Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, and
soon after announced Radiation Therapy Services Holdings Inc. had
been brought on board as a $125 million stalking horse.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the Plan
contemplates certain transactions, including, without limitation,
the following transactions: pursuant to an investment agreement
dated June 22, 2013, Radiation Therapy Services, Inc. agreed to
(1) buy 100% of the shares of Reorganized HoldCo upon the
Effective Date of the Plan and (2) pay $42,500,000 in cash,
subject to certain adjustments, and to guarantee $82,500,000 of
the Amended Secured Notes.

The Court scheduled an October 3, 2013 hearing to consider the
Plan, and interested parties must file ballots by September 23,
2013.

ORECK CORP: Techtronic Industries Completes Acquisition
-------------------------------------------------------
Vinicy Chan, writing for Bloomberg News, reports that Hong Kong-
based Techtronic Industries Co., maker of Hoover vacuum cleaners,
said it has completed its acquisition of Oreck Corp. and expects
the Nashville, Tennessee-based company to make money next year.
Techtronic is hoping to turn Oreck around by reducing expenses,
Chief Executive Officer Joseph Galli Jr. said in an interview in
the former British colony on Aug. 22, according to Bloomberg.

                        About Oreck Corp.

Oreck Corporation and eight affiliates sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. M.D. Tenn. Lead Case No. 13-04006) in
Nashville, Tennessee, on May 6, 2013, with plans to sell the
business as a going concern.

Oreck has been in the business of manufacturing, marketing and
selling vacuum cleaners and related products since the late 1960s.
The corporate offices are located in Nashville, and the
manufacturing and call center is located in Cookeville, Tennessee.

Oreck has 70 employees in Nashville, 250 employees at its plant in
Cookeville and 325 employees operating 96 company-owned and
managed retail stores.  The Debtor disclosed $18,013,249 in assets
and $14,932,841 plus an unknown amount in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.

William L. Norton III, Esq., and Alexandra E. Dugan, Esq., at
Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, serve as counsel to the Debtor.
BMC Group Inc. is the claims and notice agent. Sawaya Segalas &
Co., LLC serves as financial advisor.

The U.S. Trustee appointed six creditors to the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors.  Daniel H. Puryear, Esq., at Puryear Law
Group, and Sharon L. Levine, Esq., and Kenneth A. Rosen, Esq., at
Lowenstein Sandler LLP represent the Committee.  The Committee
tapped to retain Gavin/Solmonese LLC as its financial advisor.

In July 2013, Royal Appliance Mfg. Co. (RAM), a subsidiary of the
TTI Group, finalized the purchase of Oreck Corp.'s assets.  The
Bankruptcy Court approved the sale on July 16, 2013.

Royal, the maker of Dirt Devil floor-care products, won the
auction for Oreck Corp.  The second-place bidder was the Oreck
family, which sold the business in a $272 million transaction in
2003.  The Oreck family made the first bid at auction at $21.9
million, including $14.5 million cash.

The terms of Royal's winning bid weren't disclosed publicly,
according to a Bloomberg News report.  Royal was acquired in 2003
by Hong Kong-based Techtronic Industries Co., the maker of Hoover
vacuum cleaners.


ORMET CORP: Wins $10MM DIP Package, Bill Relief
-----------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that strapped for cash while waiting to close a
buyout to a private equity firm, bankrupt aluminum smelter Ormet
Corp. won approval to take on $10 million in additional financing
and put off nearly $11 million in utility bills.

According to the report, the $130 million sale to private equity
firm Wayzata Investment Partners LLC -- approved by a Delaware
bankruptcy judge in June and designed to close by the end of July
-- has been stalled as parties await a potentially deal-breaking
ruling from an Ohio regulatory agency.

                        About Ormet Corp.

Aluminum producer Ormet Corporation, along with affiliates, filed
for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-10334) on
Feb. 25, 2013, with a deal to sell the business to a portfolio
company owned by private investment funds managed by Wayzata
Investment Partners LLC.

Headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, Ormet --
http://www.ormet.com/-- is a fully integrated aluminum
manufacturer, providing primary metal, extrusion and thixotropic
billet, foil and flat rolled sheet and other products.

Ormet disclosed assets of $406.8 million and liabilities totaling

million on a secured term loan and $39.3 million on a revolving
credit.

Affiliates that separately filed Chapter 11 petitions are Ormet
Primary Aluminum Corporation; Ormet Aluminum Mill Products
Corporation; Specialty Blanks Holding Corporation; and Ormet

In June 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of
substantially all of the assets of Ormet to Smelter Acquisition,
LLC, a portfolio company owned by private investment funds managed
by Wayzata Investment Partners LLC.  With no competing bids,
Wayzata acquired the business in exchange for $130 million in
secured debt plus the loan financing bankruptcy.  In connection
with its restructuring, Ormet received aggregate commitments of
$90 million of DIP Financing, consisting of $30 million in Term
DIP financing from Wayzata and a $60 million DIP facility from
Wells Fargo, which replaced its $60 million pre-petition revolver
with Ormet.


OVERLAND PARK DEV'T: Moody's Keeps Ba1 Ratings
----------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service maintains the Ba1 underlying ratings on
the Overland Park Development Corporation's $43.210 million First
Tier Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2007A (Overland Park
Convention Center Hotel) and $65.665 million Second Tier Refunding
Revenue Bonds, Series 2007B (Overland Park Convention Center
Hotel).

Rating Rationale:

The Ba1 rating reflects the hotel's stable operating performance,
as well as the City of Overland Park's Transient Guest Tax support
toward the hotel's debt service payments. The hotel's dependence
on the city support has increased since 2007 when the hotel's net
operating revenues were substantially higher. While the hotel has
not bounced back to its 2007 operating and financial performance
levels, Moody's believes it reached bottom in 2010 and has been
improving since then.

Outlook:

The stable outlook reflects expectations regarding the gradual
improvements to both the net operation revenue of the hotel and
the TGT available revenues.

What could change the rating up?

-- Material and sustained increases in occupancy, ADRs, and net
    cash flow could put upward pressure on the rating.

What could change the rating down?

-- Further declines in occupancy and ADRs or a significant
    deviation from forecasts could put downward pressure on the
    rating.

Strengths

- Both series of bonds are additionally secured by a pledge of
   TGT revenues

- The Overland Park Development Corporation-owned hotel is
   located in Overland Park (Aaa GO rating), a wealthy suburb of
   Kansas City, and benefits from nearby offices, which attract
   transient business travelers, and the Overland Park convention
   center, attached to the hotel and generates group room nights

- Strong management agreement with Sheraton extends through 2022
   and requires annual deposits for a maintenance reserve equal
   to 6% of gross revenues, slightly above comparable properties

Challenges:

- The hotel's demand drivers - which include corporate offices
   in Overland Park and the convention center - are limited
   compared to hotels in larger, more urban areas with a greater
   diversity of economic activity

- Revenues from convention center hotels are generally
   economically sensitive and downturns in the general economy
   can depress occupancy and room rates


OVERLAND STORAGE: Extends Maturity of Silicon Valley Loan to 2015
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Overland Storage, Inc., entered into an amendment to its Loan and
Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank on Aug. 8, 2013.  The
Credit Facility, as amended by the Amendment, continues to provide
for an $8,000,000 revolving line of credit.  The Amendment
extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to Aug. 7, 2015.
The Amendment added a separate credit line of $750,000 for letters
of credit, foreign exchange contracts and cash management, which
is in addition to the existing $8,000,000 revolving line of
credit.  As a result, the $2,500,000 sublimit of the Company's
revolving line of credit for letters of credit, foreign exchange
contracts and cash management was removed.

Additionally, the Amendment replaced the term "Ratio Event", as
used throughout the Credit Facility, with a "Net Cash Event."  A
Net Cash Event will occur at any time that the Company's "Net
Cash" is less than $500,000.  Net Cash means the Company's
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at Silicon Valley Bank and
its affiliates plus net Eligible Accounts (as defined in the
Credit Facility) minus the outstanding principal amount of
advances under the Credit Facility minus the face amount of
letters of credit that have not been cash collateralized.

net revenue, as compared with a net loss of $13.46 million on

year. The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $38.40
million in total assets, $44.79 million in total liabilities and a
$6.38 million total shareholders' deficit.

Moss Adams LLP, in San Diego, California, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended June 30, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company's recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

PATRIOT COAL: Court Enters Supplemental DIP Financing Order
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
entered Wednesday a supplemental DIP Financing Order authorizing,
pursuant to 11 Sections 363 and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (1)
Patriot Coal Corp., et al.'s entry into an amendment to the DIP
Financing Order, (2) the engagement of the First DIP Agent to
arrange for consent to the Amendment by the requisite First Out
DIP Lenders, (3) the payment of the Amendment Fees, and (4) the
waiver, to the extent applicable, of the fourteen-day stay
otherwise imposed by Federal Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) on the
immediate effectiveness of the Supplemental DIP Financing Order.

As reported in the TCR on Aug. 2, 2013, the Debtors seek an
amendment to the First Out DIP Agreement, which, if consented to
by the Required Lenders, will have the effect of lowering the
minimum consolidated EBITDA financial covenant thresholds for
periods following June 30, 2013.  The Debtors are hopeful that the
requisite First Out DIP Lenders consent to the Amendment by
Aug. 6, 2013, which is the consent deadline provided by Citibank,
N.A., the First Out DIP Agent, to the First Out DIP Lenders.

According to papers filed with the Court, the Amendment, if
consented to by the Required Lenders, will prevent the Debtors
from potentially defaulting under the DIP Facilities and thereby
allow the Debtors to continue to access the liquidity necessary to
finalize a plan within the current timeline provided for under the
DIP Credit Agreements, which timeline is not affected by the
Amendment.

On Aug. 3, 2012, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors
to enter into the DIP Financing Facility consisting of (i) new
money (a) revolving credit loans in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $125,000,000 and (b) term loans in an aggregate amount of
$375,000,000 (collectively, the "First Out Facility"), and (ii) a
roll up of obligations under the Debtors' prepetition credit
agreement in the aggregate amount of approximately $302,000,000 as
of the Petition Date (the "Second Out Facility").

As is customary, the Amendment contains fee provisions, including
the payment of fees to the First Out DIP Lenders that consent to
the Amendment and fees payable to the First Out DIP Agent for
arranging the Amendment, in each case as a condition to the
effectiveness of the Amendment (other than the waiver provisions
thereof).  The terms surrounding the Amendment Fees payable to,
and indemnification of, the First Out DIP Agent are contained in a
separate engagement letter, which the Debtors and the First Out
DIP Agent have agreed to keep strictly confidential.

The Minimum Consolidated EBITDA (in millions) under the Current
First Out DIP Agreement and the Proposed Amendment are as shown
below:

     Current First Out DIP
          Agreement                   Proposed Amendment
  ----------------------------    ----------------------------
July 31, 2013         $110.0    July 31, 2013          $70.6

b. the estimation of i) the value of the PP&E and Mineral
Interests (as defined in the Engagement Letters) assuming that
each asset was to be liquidated individually through an orderly
liquidation scenario and ii) the value of the PP&E Mineral
Interests, Surface Land, and Inventory (as defined in the
Engagement Letters) assuming that each asset was to be liquidated
individually through a distressed liquidation Scenario.  Together,
the Orderly Liquidation Value and Distressed Liquidation Value
will be referred to as the "Liquidation Values."

At the conclusion of the analysis for each (a) and (b) above, Duff
& Phelps will provide the Debtors with a written report that will
include a narrative description of the methodologies used and the
valuation conclusions as to the Liquidation Values and the Subject
Assets and Liabilities.  These reports will be used by the Debtors
and their advisors as part of the bankruptcy analysis necessary
for the Debtors to emerge from Chapter 11, specifically to compare
the Liquidation Values to the estimated reorganization value of
the value as a whole and to comply with fresh start accounting
standards.

Duff & Phelps intends to charge the Debtors for its fresh start
valuation and liquidation valuation services on an hourly basis
ranging from $95 for Administrative Staff to $620 for Managing
Directors.  Duff & Phelps has provided the Debtors with these
estimates for the fresh start valuation and liquidation valuation
services referenced in the Engagement Letters:

     Task                                 Estimated Fee Range

Valuation of PP&E                         $100,000 - $105,000
Valuation of Mineral Interest             $75,000 - $80,000
Valuation of Surface Land                 $30,000 - $35,000
Valuation of Other Assets/Liabilities     $40,000 - $45,000
Narrative Report and Administration       $30,000 - $35,000
Estimation of Liquidation Values          $75,000 - $80,000

In addition to the fees set forth above, the Debtors will
reimburse Duff & Phelps for any direct expenses incurred in
connection with Duff & Phelps' retention in the Chapter 11 cases
and the performance of the services set forth in the Engagement
Letters.

bankruptcy judge.  The New York Judge in a Jan. 23, 2013 order
denied motions to transfer the venue to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of West Virginia.


PEABODY ENERGY: Weak Coal Prices Prompt Moody's to Cut CFR to Ba2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's downgraded the ratings of Peabody Energy Corporation,
including its Corporate Family Rating  to Ba2 from Ba1;
Probability of Default Rating  to Ba2-PD from Ba1-PD; senior
unsecured rating to Ba2 from Ba1, and subordinated debt rating to
B1 from Ba3. Moody's also changed Speculative Grade Liquidity
(SGL) rating to SGL-2 from SGL-1. The outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale:

The downgrade reflects the prolonged weak industry conditions for
metallurgical and thermal coal, with little improvement expected
over the next 12-18 months. At this level, Moody's expects
Peabody's credit metrics to deteriorate in 2013 over 2012 levels,
and weaken further in 2014, as higher-priced thermal contracts
expire and the low met coal prices persist. Moody's anticipates
that Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted by Moody's, will range from 5x --
7x over the next twelve to eighteen months. Moody's expects
operating cash flows less capex in the $200 million range in 2013,
and to approach zero in 2014 at Moody's pricing assumptions.

Over the next twelve to eighteen months, Moody's anticipates
modest volume growth in the company's PRB operations, along with
some spot price recovery, driven by higher natural gas prices and
secular decline of Central Appalachian coal. But average
realizations in Peabody's US thermal division will decline, as
higher-priced contracts expire. Moody's also anticipates revenue
and EBITDA generated by Peabody's Australian business to decline
in 2014, due to lower metallurgical and seaborne thermal coal
prices. Moody's expects that benchmark settlement prices for high
quality metallurgical coal will improve as compared to the recent
$145 settlement, but will remain below $160, due to additional
supplies coming online worldwide and persistently weak demand from
the global steel industry. Moody's expects that these weak prices
will challenge Peabody's Australian mines, despite the company's
efforts to contain costs and improve productivity.

The Ba2 corporate family rating continues to reflect Peabody's
significant size and scale, broadly diversified reserves and
production base, efficient surface mining operations, and a solid
portfolio of long-term coal supply agreements with electric
utilities. The rating also reflects the company's healthy margins,
organic growth opportunities, and strong management. Challenges
for the rating include challenges facing the US coal industry, the
potential volatility of the company's Australian operations due to
its exposure to metallurgical coal, foreign currency fluctuations,
operational risks inherent in the coal industry, and persistent
cost pressures.

The company's Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-2 reflects
Peabody's cash on hand and substantial revolver capacity. Peabody
has over $500 million in cash and cash equivalents, and almost
full availability of its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility,
which matures in 2015. Peabody's next significant maturity, $352
million from its term loan facility, comes due in 2015, followed
by roughly $1.4 billion in term loans and notes in 2016. While
Moody's expects Peabody to be able to access its revolver if
necessary, it believes headroom under covenants could get tight in
the second half of 2014. Peabody has several alternatives for
arranging back-door liquidity if necessary. Peabody's large number
of mines and its operational diversity across the PRB and Illinois
Basin give it the flexibility to sell non-core assets if
necessary.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that continued
recovery in met prices over the medium term, along with cost
containment, will offer support to the company's credit metrics
and return Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted, to levels below 6x on a
sustainable basis.

Although upgrade is unlikely in the near term, ratings could be
upgraded if Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted, was expected to fall below
4x on sustainable basis.

A downgrade would be considered if liquidity position
deteriorated, Debt/ EBITDA was expected to exceed 6x on
sustainable basis, free cash flows were persistently negative,
and/or debt capitalization ratio was expected to track above 65%.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Mining
Industry 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.

Peabody Energy Corporation is the world's largest private sector
coal company with 28 coal mining operations in the US and
Australia and approximately 9 billion tons of proven and probable
reserves. In 2012 the company sold 249 million tons of coal and
generated $7.9 billion in revenues.

PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS: $46-Mil. DIP Loan Requires Quick Sale
--------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Communications Devices LLC seeks approval from the
bankruptcy court to obtain up to $46 million of DIP financing from
lenders led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Debtors also seek to use cash collateral.

PCD says the DIP financing will allow the Debtors to maintain
operations pending a sale of the assets.  The DIP Facility
provides the Debtors with up to $46 million in availability on a
final basis, $40 million of which will be available on an interim
basis.  The availability is reduced gradually from $46 million to
$38 million in the final three weeks of the borrowing period. The
total availability under the DIP Facility will be calculated based
on certain formulas relating to the Debtors' borrowing base, with
the funds to be used in accordance with the approved budget. Part
of the DIP Facility includes access to a $5 million swing line of
credit, which may be requested on a same-day basis.

The Debtors' assets are fully encumbered by both first and second
liens in favor of the prepetition secured lenders.  The aggregate
amount of the debt secured by such liens likely exceeds the value
of the Debtors' assets.

PCD has secured debt in the principal amount of $105 million, with
$34 million of that amount secured by a first priority lien.
JPMorgan serves as agent, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC is the
syndication agent, and Bank of America, N.A., is the documentation
agent under the first lien facility.  U.S. Bank National
Association is the administrative agent under the second-lien
facility.

The DIP Facility contemplates an incremental "roll-up" of the
first lien credit obligations.  The roll-up is structured so that
as the Debtors' generate cash receipts through the normal
operation of their business, those cash receipts are used, in the
DIP agent's discretion, first to pay the first lien credit
obligations.

The DIP facility will mature 65 days after the closing date.
The DIP Facility is conditioned upon the achievement of certain
milestones related to the sale process, including:

   * Filing of a sale motion within two business days of the
     Petition Date;

   * The hearing to approve the bidding procedures order will
     have occurred within 14 days of the Petition Date;

   * Entry of a bid procedures order within 16 days of the
     Petition Date;

   * The Debtors' receipt of one or more qualified bids within
     45 days of the Petition Date;

   * Entry of the sale order within 55 days of the Petition
     Date; and

   * Consummation of the sale within 65 days of the Petition Date.

The Debtors have a "stalking horse" asset purchase agreement with
Quality One Wireless LLC and its newly-formed affiliate, Q1W
Newco, LLC.  Quality One has agreed to purchase substantially all
of the Debtors' assets for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $105,250,000, absent higher and better offers.

support of the Chapter 11 petition is available for free at:

PGI INCORPORATED: Incurs $1.7 Million Net Loss in Second Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
PGI Incorporated filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss
of $1.70 million on $4,000 of revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $1.60 million on
$7,000 of revenues for the same period during the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net
loss of $3.35 million on $8,000 of revenues, as compared with a
net loss of $3.08 million on $15,000 of revenues for the same
period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $1.30 million
in total assets, $74.37 million in total liabilities and a $73.06
million stockholders' deficiency.

                       About PGI Incorporated

St. Louis, Mo.-based PGI Incorporated, a Florida corporation, was
founded in 1958, and up until the mid 1990's was in the business
of building and selling homes, developing and selling home sites
and selling undeveloped or partially developed tracts of land.
Over approximately the last 15 years, the Company's business focus
and emphasis changed substantially as it concentrated its sales
and marketing efforts almost exclusively on the disposition of its
remaining real estate.  This change was prompted by its continuing
financial difficulties due to the principal and interest owed on
its debt.

Presently, the most valuable remaining asset of the Company is a
parcel of 366 acres located in Hernando County, Florida.  The
Company also owns a number of scattered sites in Charlotte County,
Florida (the "Charlotte Property"), but most of these sites are
subject to easements which markedly reduce their value and/or
consist of wetlands of indeterminate value.  As of Dec. 31, 2011,
the Company also owned six single family lots, located in Citrus
County, Florida.

As of Dec. 31, 2011, the Company had no employees, and all
services provided to the Company are through contract services.

PGI disclosed a net loss of $6.24 million in 2012, as compared
with a net loss of $5.48 million in 2011.

BKD, LLP, in St. Louis, Missouri, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has significant accumulated deficit, and is in default on
its primary debt, certain sinking fund and interest payments on
its convertible subordinated debentures and its convertible
debentures.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


PINNACLE ENTERTAINMENT: Moody's Says Lumiere Sale is Credit Pos.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc.'s (B1
stable) August 16 announcement that it agreed to sell Lumiere
Place Casino, HoteLumiere, the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis to
Tropicana Entertainment, Inc. (B2 stable) for cash consideration
of $260 million is a credit positive for both companies.

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

Pinnacle owns and operates seven casinos, located in Louisiana,
Missouri, and Indiana, and a racetrack in Ohio. In addition,
Pinnacle is redeveloping River Downs in Cincinnati, Ohio into a
gaming entertainment facility, owns an approximate 24% equity
stake in Asian Coast Development (Canada) Ltd. (ACDL), an
international development and real estate company currently
developing Vietnam's first large-scale integrated resort on the Ho
Tram Strip, and holds a majority interest in the racing license
owner, as well as a management contract, for Retama Park Racetrack
outside of San Antonio, Texas. The company generated about $1.2
billion of net revenue for the latest 12 month period ended March
31, 2013.

Tropicana Entertainment Inc. is an owner and operator of regional
casino and entertainment properties including three casinos in
Nevada, and one casino in each of the following jurisdictions:
Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana and New Jersey. The company is
also developing a casino resort located on the island of Aruba (a
temporary casino opened on the property in December 2011).
Tropicana Entertainment Inc. is majority owned by Icahn
Enterprises LP. The company generates approximately $640 million
in net revenues annually.

POLYMER GROUP: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on CreditWatch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed all its ratings,
including the 'B' corporate credit rating, on Charlotte-N.C.-based
Polymer Group on CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The CreditWatch placement followed the announcement that Polymer
Group has offered to acquire Fiberweb for about $265 million,
subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cynthia Werneth.

S&P rates Polymer Group's senior secured notes 'B' (the same as
the corporate credit rating) with a recovery rating of '4'.  The
recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for average (30% to
50%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  If Polymer Group
proceeds with the Fiberweb acquisition, S&P expects to re-examine
recovery prospects under the new capital structure.

S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch placement during the next
several weeks after reviewing Polymer Group's business and
financial strategies and determining whether and to what extent
these have changed following some recent senior management
changes.  S&P will also consider the expected costs and benefits
of the Fiberweb acquisition and review Polymer Group's financing
plan and prospective liquidity.

S&P could lower the ratings if the Fiberweb acquisition causes
leverage to increase or if we identify significant integration or
other risks associated with the transaction.  S&P could also lower
the ratings if Polymer Group's stand-alone performance weakens in
the absence of a transaction.

S&P could affirm the ratings if it regards the transaction as
beneficial to Polymer Group's business risk profile, and pro forma
credit measures do not weaken from current levels.


POLYPORE INTERNATIONAL: S&P Revises Outlook & Affirms 'B+' CCR
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its rating
outlook on Polypore International Inc. to positive from stable.
At the same time, S&P affirmed the ratings on the company,
including the 'B+' corporate credit rating.

"The outlook revision reflects Polypore's improving free cash flow
prospects and our expectation that the company's operating
performance and financial policy could lead to credit metrics that
support a higher rating," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Carol Hom.

The rating on Polypore reflect the filtration manufacturer's
"aggressive" financial risk profile, marked by high debt but
stable credit metrics, and its "weak" business risk profile, which
results from its participation in niche markets that are subject
to some technological and cyclicality risks.  These factors offset
Polypore's good market position and profitability.  Although the
company's quarterly performance has been somewhat volatile at
times, S&P expects its operating prospects to remain relatively
good for the remainder of 2013 and into next year.  S&P also
expects free operating cash flow to increase due to growth in
demand in Polypore's end markets and the company's lower capital
expenditure spending.

"Polypore is one of three major manufacturers operating in the
niche battery separator business.  The company manufactures
separators for lead-acid and lithium batteries (accounting for
slightly more than two-thirds of revenues), primarily for
transportation, industrial, and consumer applications.  It also
manufactures filtration membranes for various health care
applications and industrial processes.  We believe that the demand
for lead-acid battery separators, which tends to be for
replacements rather than new car batteries, will continue to be
relatively stable.  Furthermore, health care filtration
applications have historically been fairly resilient to economic
cycles, and the emerging markets should also contribute to
Polypore's growth opportunities," S&P noted.

The outlook is positive.  S&P could raise the rating if the
Polypore's free cash flow, operating performance, and financial
policies result in credit metrics that are, and will likely
remain, consistent with a higher rating, including total debt to
EBITDA of about 3.5x and FFO to total debt of about 20%.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if a cyclical slowdown
reduces activity in Polypore's end markets or if a change in
competitive conditions erodes the company's market position,
resulting in lower revenues and stretched credit metrics," said

REUTAX AG: Files Chapter 15 Petition to Recover U.S. Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------
The administrator of Reutax AG is seeking U.S. recognition of
insolvency proceedings for Reutax in Germany and to protect assets
of the Debtor currently in the U.S.

Reutax provided information technology services to clients in
Germany, using free-lance information technology experts. The
Debtor was 60% owned by Contreg AG, an entity owned by the
Debtor's founder, Soheyl Ghaemian.  Hans-Peter Wild, through an
entity called Casun Invest AG, held a 40% equity stake in exchange
for a $40 million investment.

Faced with a liquidity squeeze, as well as EUR10 million in
liabilities to its IT consultants, the Debtor halted operations
and on March 20, 2013, filed a petition to open insolvency
proceedings over its assets.

Tobias Wahl was appointed the insolvency administrator in June
2013.  He filed a Chapter 15 petition for Reutax (Bankr. D. Del.
Case No. 13-12135) on Aug. 21, 2013.  The Debtor is estimated to
have assets and debt of $10 million to $50 million.

Mr. Wahl believes that Mr. Ghaemian used certain funds from the
Debtor to purchase a $9.1 million mansion located at 1278 Angelo
Drive in Beverly Hills, California and four luxury automobiles.

Mr. Ghaemian was subsequently arrested by German authorities in
early June 2013, in connection with the transactions involving the
Debtor's funds.

Mr. Wahl believes the loan for the Beverly Hills Mansion from East
West Bank is currently in default or will be so shortly, and the
bank will act promptly to enforce its rights under a $4.4 million
mortgage.  He believes that three of the luxury cars (a Rolls
Royce, Porsche and a Ferrari) remain in possession of Mr.
Ghaemian's sister.

Michael Joseph Custer, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, serves as counsel to the foreign
representative and insolvency administrator for Reutax.

Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the case.  Mr. Wahl
has filed a motion for a Rule 2004 examination and scheduled a
hearing for Aug. 22.

SALEM COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Revises Outlook on 'B' Rating to Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its 'B' rating outlook
on Camarillo, Calif.-based radio broadcasting company Salem
Communications Corp. (Salem) to stable from positive.

At the same time, S&P affirmed all existing ratings on the
company.

The outlook revision to stable reflects the increase in the
company's lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA to 5.9x for the 12 months
ended June 30, 2013, from 5.5x last year, resulting from the March
2013 refinancing and modest EBITDA declines in the most recent
quarter.

"Over the next 12 months, we believe the company could reduce debt
leverage modestly through EBITDA growth or debt reduction, but we
do not expect leverage to be at our low-5x threshold for an
upgrade," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Chris Valentine.

Over the intermediate term, S&P could consider raising the rating
if positive operating trends continue and the company can reduce
leverage to its low-5x threshold.

"The 'B' rating and stable outlook on Salem reflect the company's
continued stable operating performance and our view that in 2013,
leverage will remain above our low-5x threshold for an upgrade.
Factors supporting our assessment of Salem's business risk profile
as "fair" include the potential for a resumption of negative
structural trends in radio, competition from larger rivals, and
advertising cyclicality.  Positive factors that somewhat temper
these weaknesses include the relative stability of cash flow from
fee-based sales of programming time blocks to external religious
programmers, a healthy EBITDA margin, and "adequate" liquidity.
Salem has a "highly leveraged" financial risk profile, in our
view, based on its high debt leverage and low, albeit improving,
EBITDA coverage of interest expense.  Our management and
governance assessment is "fair"," S&P said

Salem's more stable operation is its time block sales to external
programmers.  Its less stable revenue comes from traditional radio
advertising on its owned and operated radio stations, for which it
bears programming costs.  This revenue is directly exposed to
advertising demand cycles and structural trends.  The company also
operates certain lower-margin publishing assets, which have
modestly reduced its consolidated EBITDA margin compared with
pure-play radio broadcasting peers.  The company's EBITDA margin
was 22.3% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, down from 23.6% a
year ago.  An increase in marketing and promotional expenses and a
significant investment in the internet businesses caused the
decline.


SAN DIEGO HOSPICE: Ex Parte Application to Employ Foley Approved
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California
has approved the Ex Parte Application of San Diego Hospice &
Palliative Care Corporation to confirm the Debtor's employment and
retention of Foley & Lardner LLP as special Medicare counsel.

San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care Corporation filed a Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. S.D. Cal. Case No. 13-01179) in San Diego on
Feb. 4, 2013.  The Debtor is the operator of the San Diego Hospice
and The Institute for Palliative Medicine, one of the largest
community-owned, not-for-profit hospices in the country.

The Debtor scheduled $20,369,007 in total assets and $14,888,058
in total liabilities.

Even before the bankruptcy filing, the Debtor has been under a
federal investigation, focusing whether it allowed patients to
stay in the program even when their diagnosis changed.  The Debtor
said that it will meet with government agencies to address their
concerns, explore partnerships with other health care
organizations, and work to restructure and resize San Diego
Hospice.  The Debtor said it has encouraged Scripps Health, the
region's largest provider of health care services, to enter the
hospice business.

Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP serves as counsel to the
Debtor.

On April 30, 2013, San Diego Hospice received Court authority to
sell its unused 24-bed hospice facility to Scripps Health for
$16.55 million.  Scripps made the opening bid of $10.7 million at
the auction that took place before the sale-approval hearing.  The
other bidder was Sharp Healthcare.  The sale is also subject to
approval by regulators in California.

In May 2013, San Diego Hospice and its creditors' committee
jointly filed a liquidating Chapter 11 plan and an explanatory
disclosure statement.


SAN DIEGO HOSPICE: U.S. Trustee Objects to Liquidating Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Tiffany L. Carroll, Acting United States Trustee for the Southern
District of California, objects to the First Amended Liquidating
Plan for San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care Corporation jointly
proposed by the Debtor and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.

According to the Acting United States Trustee, the Court should
not confirm the Plan because of the broad release, exculpation,
injunction, and indemnification contained in the Plan and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement.  A copy of the objection is available
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/sandiegohospice.doc560.pdf

As reported in the TCR on July 16, the Debtor and the Creditors
Committee scheduled a Sept. 4 confirmation hearing for approval of
the Chapter 11 plan they jointly proposed.  The bankruptcy court
in San Diego has approved the disclosure materials, allowing
creditors to vote on the liquidating plan.

The Plan's objective is to transfer all assets of the Debtor,
including, but not limited to, cash and all causes of action, to
the Liquidating Trust, which, through the Liquidating Trustee,
will liquidate the remaining non-cash assets, including the
prosecution of the causes of action that the Liquidating Trustee
chooses to pursue, and distribute the proceeds thereof to holders
of Allowed Claims in satisfaction of the Allowed Claims subject to
the satisfaction of the Liquidating Trust Expenses.

SCOTTSDALE VENETIAN: Wants Solicitation Period Extended to Nov. 18
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scottsdale Venetian Village, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Arizona to extend the period in which only the
Debtor has the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization,
and to solicit votes in favor of the plan, through and including
Nov. 18, 2013.  This is the Debtor's first request for an
extension of the exclusivity period.

According to papers filed with the Court on August 16, the
extension is necessary to allow the Debtor to obtain approval of
its First Amended Disclosure Statement, and thereafter to solicit
ballots and otherwise proceed towards confirmation of the Debtor's
pending First Amended Plan of Reorganization Dated Aug. 9, 2013.

A hearing to assess the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement is
set for Sept. 4, 2013.

According to papers filed with the Court, the Debtor intends to
pay the full amount of First National Bank of Hutchinson (FNBH)'s
Allowed Secured Claim, with interest, over a period of 12 years.
Any amount by which FNBH's Allowed Claim exceeds the value of its
collateral will be deemed to be an unsecured Claim, and treated as
part of Class 3-B (All Unsecured Claims Not Otherwise Classified
in the Plan).

The Days Inn Worldwide Note will be treated, and retired, in
accordance with its terms, but for the date upon which payment is
due in the event of acceleration.  In the event of an
acceleration, the Debtor will be permitted ninety ("90") days in
which to pay the remaining balance of the Days Inn Note.

Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims in Class 3-B will be paid in
full, with interest accruing at the Plan Rate, in equal quarterly
installments commencing on the Effective Date and concluding on
the eighth anniversary of the Effective Date.  Any Insider that
holds a Claim included in this class will ot be paid anything on
account of such Claim until all other Claims against the Debtor
are paid in full.

Allowed Interests of Interest Holders in Class 4 will retain
their equity interests, and constitute the New Interest Holders in
the Reorganized Debtor.

The Plan will be funded by the operations of the Hotel and
Restaurant.  A copy of the First Amended Disclosure Statement is

SOLAR POWER: Delays 2nd Quarter Form 10-Q for Accounting Issues
---------------------------------------------------------------
Solar Power, Inc., was unable to file its interim report on Form
10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, within the
prescribed time period due to accounting issues related to its
Italian operations and subsequent delays in completing the
required consolidation under U.S. GAAP.

"The process of compiling and disseminating the information
required to be included in the Form 10-Q for the relevant fiscal
period, as well as the completion of the required review of its
financial information, could not be completed without incurring
undue hardship and expense," the Company said in a regulatory
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

                          About Solar Power

energy facility ("SEF") developer offering its own brand of high-
quality, low-cost distributed generation and utility-scale SEF
development services.  Primarily, the Company works directly with

SEF projects for whom it serves as an engineering, procurement and
construction contractor.  The Company also performs as an
independent, turnkey SEF developer for one-off distributed
generation and utility-scale SEFs.

Solar Power disclosed a net loss of $25.42 million in 2012, as
compared with net income of $1.60 million in 2011.  The Company's
balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $152.26 million in total
assets, $131.07 million in total liabilities and $21.19 million in
total stockholders' equity.

Crowe Horwath LLP, in San Francisco, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has incurred a current year net loss of $25.4
million, has an accumulated deficit of $23.8 million, has
experienced a significant reduction in working capital, has past
due related party accounts payable and material adverse change and
default clauses in certain debt facilities under which the banks
can declare amounts immediately due and payable.  Additionally,
the Company's parent company LDK Solar Co., Ltd, has experienced
financial difficulties, which among other items, has caused delays
in project financing.  These matters raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

same time, we have maintained a disciplined approach to managing

Company also owns and operates Mega TV, a television operation

stockholders of $11.21 million in 2012, as compared with net

the prior year.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"We have experienced a decline in the level of business activity
of our advertisers, which has, and could continue to have, an
adverse effect on our revenues and profit margins.  In addition,
some of our advertisers and clients could experience serious cash
flow problems due to the slow economic recovery.  As a result,
they may attempt to renegotiate or cancel orders with us or alter
payment terms.  Our advertisers may be forced to reduce their
production, shut down their operations or file for bankruptcy
protection, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business.  Any further deterioration in the U.S. economy, any
worsening of conditions in the credit markets, or even the fear of
such a development, could intensify the adverse effects of these
difficult market conditions on our results of operations," the
Company said in its annual report for the year ended Dec. 31,
2012.

                           *     *     *

In November 2010, Moody's Investors Service upgraded the corporate
family and probability of default ratings for Spanish Broadcasting
System, Inc., to 'Caa1' from 'Caa3' based on improved free cash
flow prospects due to better than anticipated cost cutting and the
expiration of an unprofitable interest rate swap agreement.
Moody's said Spanish Broadcasting's 'Caa1' corporate family rating
incorporates its weak capital structure, operational pressure in
the still cyclically weak economic climate, generally narrow
growth prospects (though Spanish language is the strongest growth
prospect) given the maturity and competitive pressures in the
radio industry, and the June 2012 maturity of its term loan
magnify this challenge.

In July 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
corporate credit rating on Miami, Fla.-based Spanish Broadcasting
System Inc. to 'B-' from 'CCC+', based on continued improvement in
the company's liquidity position.  "The rating action reflects
S&P's expectation that, despite very high leverage, SBS will have
adequate liquidity over the intermediate term to meet debt
maturities, potential swap settlements, and operating needs until
its term loan matures on June 11, 2012," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Altberg.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 4, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services revised its rating outlook on Miami, Fla.-based Spanish
Broadcasting System Inc. (SBS) to negative from stable.  "We also
affirmed our existing ratings on the company, including the 'B-'
corporate credit rating," S&P said.


SR REAL ESTATE: 6,400-Acre Calif. Property in Third Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------------
SR Real Estate Holdings, LLC, owner of 14 parcels of real property
totaling 6,400 acres straddling Santa Cruz and Santa Clara
counties, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Cal. Case No.
13-54471) in San Jose, California, on Aug. 20, 2013.  The Debtor
estimated that its assets total at least $10 million and
liabilities are at least $500 million.

This is the third bankruptcy filed with respect to the property.
The prior owner, Sargent Ranch, LLC, filed Chapter 11 cases in
January 2010 (Bankr. S.D. Cal. Case No. 10-00046) and November
2011 (Bankr. S.D. Cal. Case No. 11-18853).   The second bankruptcy
case was dismissed in February 2012.

The new owner filed a bankruptcy case to prevent a foreclosure by
the holders of the first deed of trust to preserve value for the
benefit of all creditors and interest holders.  The Debtor says
this bankruptcy will be far different than the prior bankruptcies
as the Debtor intends to promptly propose a plan of reorganization
that preserves the significant value of the property for all
creditors.

The property was initially acquired by SR LLC in or around May of
2000 for the purchase price of approximately $17,000,000.

Initially acquired to be developed into residential homes and
ranches along with a golf course and other commercial
opportunities, SR LLC has sought to expand the potential uses of
the property.  These uses included a possible sale of a
portion of the property to a Native American Tribe for development
as a casino, the construction of a sand quarry, possible oil
reserves, the potential for a solar power facility, the sale of
riparian and other environmental credits, liquid asphalt
extraction, and residential, industrial and commercial development
opportunities.

The Debtor intends to promptly propose and seek confirmation of a
viable plan of reorganization that will avoid the pitfalls of the
prior plans proposed by SR LLC because it will be backed by
substantial funds available at confirmation.  The Debtor intends
to proceed on the schedule required of single asset real estate
debtors if not even faster.

Victor A. Vilaplana, Esq., at Foley and Lardner, serves as counsel
to the Debtor.  The Debtor raised $350,000 to fund the retainer of
the Debtor's proposed counsel.


SR REAL ESTATE: Sec. 341(a) Meeting of Creditors on Sept. 25
------------------------------------------------------------
There's a meeting of creditors of SR Real Estate Holdings, LLC, on
Sept. 25, 2013, at 9:30 a.m.

This is the first meeting of creditors required under Section
341(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in all bankruptcy cases.  All
creditors are invited, but not required, to attend.  This meeting
of creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy proceeding
for creditors to question a responsible office of the Debtor under
oath about the company's financial affairs and operations that
would be of interest to the general body of creditors.

Proofs of claim are due Dec. 24, 2013.

noticing agent in the Chapter 11 case to, among other things,
perform certain noticing functions and perform such other services
requested by the Debtor in accordance with the Agreement,
retroactive to July 18.

that term is defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101(14).

Stelera Wireless, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. W.D.
Okla. Case No. 13-13267) on July 18, 2013.  Tim Duffy signed the

issues as may arise concerning Debtor, including without
limitation the sale of some or all of the FCC Licenses under
11 U.S.C. Section 363(f).

The Debtor proposes to compensate Wilkinson at its normal hourly

any interest adverse to Debtor, or to the estate in the matters
upon which it is to be engaged.

business came from the hospitality industry; however, we now have
multiple revenue channels that contain major opportunities in the

Combined with the strategic relationships that we have entered
into and the new ones that we continue to develop, I believe the

the second half of 2013 and beyond, our focus remains on not only
increasing revenue and market share, but also executing our
business model profitably," added Tienor.

TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH: Approves Tax Hike to Prevent Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------------------------
Cathy McKitrick, writing for The Salt Lake Tribune, reported that
for the first time in 27 years, Tooele County commissioners
approved a property tax increase, seemingly the only option left
to prevent a slide toward bankruptcy.

According to the report, more than 150 residents filled the
Convention Center at the county's Deseret Peak Complex, speaking
both for and against the 66 percent bump that boosts property tax
on a $150,000 home by about $73 per year and $133 on a $150,000
business.

For homeowners, it means a 5 percent to 7 percent increase on
their overall tax bill depending on where they live in the county.
The tax increase will bring in an additional $2.6 million per
year, the report said.

All three commissioners approved the tax hike, the report related.
In explaining his vote, Commissioner Jerry Hurst lamented the
layoffs that had to occur so far to make up for shortfalls and
said that budget trims spanned several years, but that now it was
necessary for everyone to pay their share -- about $6 per month on
a $150,000 home.

The report said several factors drove Tooele County into fiscal
crisis:

   (1) Hazardous waste mitigation fees dwindled from $13 million
in 2005 to $4.3 million in 2012, and revenue from chemical-weapon
disposal dried up altogether.

   (2) Federal grants and payments in lieu of taxes (PILT) shrank
due to the 2013 sequester.

   (3) Between 2009 and 2012, the county subsidized operations at
Deseret Peak from internal restricted accounts, racking up a $6.5
million debt

   (4) Projected revenue from leasing jail beds to federal inmates
fell short.

TRIUS THERAPEUTICS: Faces Lawsuit Over Cubit Merger Plans
---------------------------------------------------------
A lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware against Trius, and each member of Trius' board of
directors, and Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  The action was
brought by John K. Weeks, Jr., and Lynn Weeks, who claim to be
stockholders of Trius, on their own behalf, and seeks
certification as a class action on behalf of all of Trius'
stockholders.

The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary
duties, or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties, owed
to Trius' stockholders in connection with the Offer and the
Merger.  The complaint seeks injunctive relief enjoining the Offer
and the Merger, or, in the event the Offer or the Merger has been
consummated prior to the court's entry of final judgment,
rescinding the Offer and the Merger.  The complaint also seeks an
accounting for all damages and an award of costs, including a
reasonable allowance for attorneys' and experts' fees and
expenses.

As reported in the TCR on Aug. 7, 2013, Cubist and its wholly-
owned subsidiary, BRGO Corporation, entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger with Trius which was approved by the boards of
directors of the companies.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
BRGO will commence a tender offer to purchase all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Trius common stock for (a) $13.50 per
share in cash, plus (b) one non-transferrable contingent value
right for each share of Trius common stock, which represents the
contractual right to receive up to $2.00 per share upon the
achievement of certain milestones.  If successful, the Offer will
be followed by a merger of BRGO with and into Trius.

VAUGHAN COMPANY: Trustee Barred From Amending Suit v. Ultima
------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert H. Jacobvitz denied the request of Judith
Wagner, Chapter 11 Trustee of the bankruptcy estate of the Vaughan
Company Realtors, to amend her complaint to recover certain
transfers from Vaughan Company Realtors to Ultima Homes, Inc., in
connection with Ultima's construction of Douglas Vaughan's
personal residence.  The Court said the Motion to Amend should be
denied as futile.

The Trustee seeks to amend the Complaint to add separate counts
against Ultima for fraudulent transfer under state law. Ultima
contends that the amendments would be futile because the transfers
at issue are time barred under the applicable statutes of
limitation.

For many years prior to 2010, Douglas Vaughan caused VCR to
operate as a Ponzi scheme. Mr. Vaughan concealed the ongoing fraud
until he eventually went to prison and the business shut down. In
2004 or 2005, Mr. Vaughan engaged Ultima to construct his personal
residence. On May 5, 2005 and July 29, 2005, VCR issued and
delivered checks to Ultima totaling $501,849.33 as payment for the
project. Although the Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Trust
maintained by Ultima invested in VCR's promissory note program,
Ultima itself did not.

The case is, JUDITH A. WAGNER, Chapter 11 Trustee Of the
bankruptcy estate of the Vaughan Company, Realtors, Plaintiff,
v. ULTIMA HOMES, INC., KENNETH HIGHTOWER, as trustee of the Ultima
Homes, Inc. Defined Benefit Plan and Trust, JOHN DOE, as trustee
of the Ultima Homes, Inc. Defined Benefit Plan and Trust,

                     About Vaughan Company

The Vaughan Company, Realtors, descended into bankruptcy after
Douglas F. Vaughan, the former controlling shareholder, used the
company to run a Ponzi scheme from 1993 until January 2010.  Mr.
Vaughan has entered into a plea agreement with the United States,
admitting guilt to various securities violations.

In March 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed fraud
charges against Mr. Vaughan, a New Mexico realtor, and obtained an
emergency court order to halt his $80 million Ponzi scheme.  The
SEC's complaint, filed in federal court in Albuquerque, alleges
Mr. Vaughan through his company issued promissory notes that he
claimed would generate high fixed returns for investors.  Mr.
Vaughan also used another entity -- Vaughan Capital LLC -- to
solicit investors for different types of real estate-related
investments, such as buying residential properties at distressed
prices.  Mr. Vaughan relied entirely on new money raised from
investors through both companies to fund Vaughan Company's ever-
increasing obligations to note holders.

The SEC also charged both of Mr. Vaughan's companies in the
enforcement action.  Neither Mr. Vaughan nor his companies are
registered with the SEC to offer securities under the federal
securities laws.

The Vaughan Company Realtors filed for Chapter 11 protection on
Feb. 22, 2010 (Bankr. N.M. Case No. 10-10759).  George D. Giddens,
Jr., Esq., represents the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.
The Company estimated both assets and debts of between $1 million
and $10 million.  Judith A. Wagner was appointed as Chapter 11
Trustee.

Mr. Vaughan filed a separate Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. N.M.
Case No. 10-10763) on Feb. 22, 2010.  The case was converted to a
chapter 7 proceeding on May 20, 2010.  Yvette Gonzales is the duly
appointed trustee of the Chapter 7 estate.

deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.


WATERFRONT OFFICE: Secured Creditor Files Full-Payment Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Deustche Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank AG, secured creditor to
Waterfront Office Building, LP and Summer Office Building, LP,
filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Connecticut a Chapter 11 Plan and Disclosure Statement, which
proposes to pay all creditors in full on the plan effective date.

In DG Hyp's opinion, the treatment of Creditors under its Plan
provides a greater possible recovery than is likely to be achieved
under any other alternatives, including any other plan -- such as
the Debtors' plan which provides only an 80% recovery to General
Unsecured Creditors over a period of 4 years -- or liquidation
under Chapter 7 under the Bankruptcy Code.

DG Hyp believes in a Chapter 7 liquidation, Administrative
Expenses and Priority Claims would not be paid, and other than DG
Hyp, no other creditor would receive any distributions on account
of its Claim.

The DG Hyp Plan contemplates satisfaction of DG Hyp's Claim in
exchange for the Debtors' primary assets, the Properties and
amounts held in the Debtors' Accounts.  Under the Plan, DG
Hyp, which holds a senior mortgage on the Properties in excess of
the Properties' appraised value, will take the Properties in
satisfaction ofthe mortgage.  Dg Hyp will pay in full all real
estate tax claims of the City ofStamford and all Allowed General
Unsecured Claims.  DG Hyp agrees to waive any distribution on
account of the DG Hyp's Deficiency Claim only in the event the DG
Hyp Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

The Plan designates Class 1 as Other Priority Claims, Class 2 as
City of Stamford Secured Claim, Class 3 as DG Hyp Secured Claim
scheduled at approximately $3.5 million, Class 4 as General
Unsecured Claims estimated to total $350,000, and Class 5 as
Equity Interests which are to be extinguished on the Effective
Date.

WEST AIRPORT: U.S. Trustee Unable to Form Committee
---------------------------------------------------
The United States Trustee said that an official committee under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 1102 has not been appointed in the bankruptcy case
of West Airport Palms Business Park, LLC.

The U.S. Trustee has attempted to solicit creditors interested in
serving on the Unsecured Creditors' Committee from the 20 largest
unsecured creditors.  After excluding governmental units, secured
creditors and insiders, the U.S. Trustee has been unable to
solicit sufficient interest in serving on the Committee, in order
to appoint a proper Committee.

The U.S. Trustee reserves the right to appoint such a committee
should interest developed among the creditors.

WESTAR I: Offices Office Out of Receivership
--------------------------------------------
Brian R. Ball at Columbus Business First reports that the Offices
at Westar I has escaped receivership with its fractional tenant-
in-common investors back in control of the 145,000-square-foot
building.

Delaware County Common Pleas Court records show TIC Owners, a
group of investors led by Cabot Investment Properties LLC, paid
$12.8 million Aug. 7 to settle a January 2012 foreclosure case,
according to Columbus Business First.  The report relates that the
group purchased the Westerville property for $19.2 million in May
2004.

The report notes that an affiliate of mortgage holder Torchlight
Investments of New York in July had bid $12.6 million for the
building at a sheriff's auction; it was the minimum two-thirds bid
for the property at 570 Polaris Parkway.  It was appraised for
$18.9 million, the report says.

But a court order confirming the July 10 sheriff's sale had not
been approved when the investors stepped in to pay off a $12.5
million judgment and other costs to the county, the report
discloses.

Delaware Common Pleas Court Judge Duncan Whitney signed an order
Aug. 15 approving the redemption and dissolution of the
receivership case.

The report relays that Paul Leithart II, a partner at Strip
Hoppers Leithart McGrath & Terlecky Co. in Columbus who was the
attorney for the receiver in the case, called the 11th-hour
redemption "a very unusual situation."   In a few recent cases, he
said, borrowers struck deals with lenders to buy the properties at
discounted prices after lining up new financing, the report
discloses.
The building is anchored by third-party logistics provider Exel
Inc.   It became fully leased this year when iQ Solutions, a
consulting firm, and Lyneer International, an affiliated
technology and communications consulting business, took 6,500
square feet in the 11-year-old building.

Greg Gillott of Cincinnati-based Neyer Commercial Realty
represented court-appointed receiver Dave Elson, a principal of
affiliate Neyer Management, in that deal. Brad McMahon of CBRE
Group Inc. represented the tenants, the report notes.

Brian R. Ball covers real estate, allied construction industries,
development and the hospitality and hotel sectors for Business
First, the report adds.


WORLD SURVEILLANCE: Incurs $840,000 Net Loss in Second Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
World Surveillance Group Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $840,372 on $650,295 of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with net income of
$872,103 on $351,664 of net sales for the same period a year ago.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net
loss of $1.35 million on $1.17 million of net sales, as compared
with a net loss of $519,794 on $498,393 of net sales for the same
period last year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $3.60 million
in total assets, $16.93 million in total liabilities, all current
and $13.33 million total stockholders' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Our indebtedness at June 30, 2013 was $16,938,962.  A portion of
such indebtedness reflects judicial judgments against us that
could result in liens being placed on our bank accounts or assets.
We are continuing to review our ability to reduce this debt level
due to the age and/or settlement of certain payables but we may
not be able to do so.  This level of indebtedness could, among
other things:

  * make it difficult for us to make payments on this debt and
    other obligations;

   * make it difficult for us to obtain future financing;

   * require us to redirect significant amounts of cash from
     operations to servicing the debt;

   * require us to take measures such as the reduction in scale of
     our operations that might hurt our future performance in
     order to satisfy our debt obligations; and

   * make us more vulnerable to bankruptcy or an unwanted
     acquisition on terms unsatisfactory to us," the Company said
     in the quarterly report.

* 7th Circ. Stuffs Pippen's Defamation Suit Against NBC, CBS
------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that the Seventh Circuit refused to revive former
NBA star Scottie Pippen's defamation suit against NBC Universal
Media LLC, CBS Interactive Inc. and three other media outlets over
reports he was bankrupt, agreeing with the lower court that Pippen
failed to show the defendants acted with actual malice.

According to the report, a three-judge panel affirmed U.S.
District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman's order dismissing Pippen's
complaint, saying he didn't meet the burden as a public figure to
allege that the defendants published the false reports of his
bankruptcy with malice.


* Appeals Court Reverses Bank Tax Ruling in Win for FDIC
--------------------------------------------------------
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported
that a federal appeals court has reversed a lower court decision
involving the rights to a dead bank's tax refunds, giving the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. a victory in its legal battles
with investors picking over the remnants of the hundreds of failed
banks left in the wake of the financial crisis.


* Texas Regulators Throw 2 Mortgage Firms Into Receivership
------------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Daily reports that two Texas firms that collected bi-
weekly mortgage payments from borrowers and were supposed to
forward them on to the servicers have been forced into
receivership.

Bi-weekly payment plans are nothing new and have been successfully
used for years by borrowers to more quickly pay down their home
loans, according to Mortgage Daily.

The report relates that instead of making one payment per month,
or 12 payments per year, bi-weekly plans result in 26 payments per
year. In addition to making part of the monthly payment early, the
plan effectively adds another full month's payment each year.


* Fed Has Debated Ways to Prolong Easy-Money Policies
-----------------------------------------------------
Ylan Q. Mui, writing for The Washington Post, reported that the
Federal Reserve debated changing its plans for raising interest
rates so that it could keep its easy-money policy in place longer,
according to documents released Aug. 21.

According to the report, the minutes of the Fed's policy-setting
meeting in July show that officials discussed at length for the
first time whether they should alter the terms of their landmark
promise to keep short-term rates near zero at least until
inflation reaches 2.5 percent or the unemployment rate hits 6.5
percent. The ideas broached included lowering the target for
unemployment and establishing a floor for inflation. The Fed also
considered providing more detail about what it would do once its
existing thresholds are met.

Although the central bank ultimately decided not to make any
policy changes during the July meeting, the discussion underscores
the challenge facing the Fed as it grapples with the best way to
wind down its unprecedented stimulus of the nation's economy, the
report said.  As the recovery strengthens, the Fed must find a way
to withdraw its support without frightening the markets or the
public, which could undo its careful work.

That delicate balance is exemplified by the reaction to the Fed's
announcement in June that it will begin scaling back its
multibillion-dollar bond-buying program this year, the report
related.  The purchases, often referred to as quantitative easing,
were intended to bring down long-term interest rates and goose the
recovery. But markets panicked at the prospect of a "tapering" of
bond purchases, igniting a sell-off in the stock markets and a
spike in bond yields. Investors have become fixated on when the
reduction will start, leaving markets jittery.

On Aug. 21, the markets were on a hair trigger as traders awaited
further clues about the Fed's intentions, the report said.  Stocks
plunged when the documents were released, then rebounded briefly
before moving back into the red. The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 0.7 percent, while the broader Standard & Poor's 500-
stock index lost nearly 0.6 percent. Yields on 10-year Treasury
bonds rose 4 cents to $2.86.


* SEC Set to Propose New Rule on CEO Pay
----------------------------------------
Andrew Ackerman, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that the Securities and Exchange Commission will soon thrust CEO
compensation back into the spotlight when it proposes a long-
delayed rule requiring companies to disclose the pay gap between
chief executives and rank-and-file employees.

According to the report, the requirement, a mandate of the 2010
Dodd-Frank financial law, could put added pressure on corporate
boards to slow pay increases for chief executives at companies
with significant or growing gaps, proponents say.

The rule, expected to be approved by the SEC as early as next
month, has come under fire from corporations, the report said.
But it is expected to be less onerous than what lawmakers
originally ordered the SEC to adopt, according to people familiar
with the proposal.

Rather than surveying the entire workforce, the SEC is expected to
allow companies to consider a fraction of their employees when
calculating median pay, the report related.  It isn't clear what
percentage of the workforce would be included in the sample.

Companies would have to disclose the ratio between CEO
compensation and the median pay of the sampled employee group, the
report further related. Median pay is the point on the income
scale at which half the employees earn more and half earn less.


* CFPB: Mortgage Servicing Still Riddled with Problems
------------------------------------------------------
Danielle Douglas, writing for The Washington Post, reported that
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said that it has launched
investigations at banks and other financial firms after finding
many problems in the way they service residential mortgages.

According to the report, in the aftermath of the housing crash,
the haphazard work of some mortgage servicers prevented thousands
of struggling Americans from hanging on to their homes. Problems
came to a head when regulators learned that banks were using
forged and shoddy paperwork to rapidly foreclose on homeowners, a
practice known as "robo-signing."

Outrage over those practices led to multibillion-dollar
settlements and a series of new rules aimed at changing the way
servicers interact with borrowers, but a report released Aug. 21
by the CFPB shows that many companies have not cleaned up their
acts.

Examiners at the bureau found that mortgage servicers, which
collect loan payments and handle loan modifications and
fore?closures, engage in sloppy payment processing that can result
in extra fees for homeowners, the report related.

They also uncovered instances in which servicers failed to tell
homeowners that their loans were transferred to another company or
gave consumers conflicting information on the process for
reworking the terms of their mortgage, the report said.


* Morgan Drexen Sees Conflicting Messages in CFPB Legal Standoff
----------------------------------------------------------------
Morgan Drexen is holding firm in its pledge to protect the private
financial records of thousands of American consumers -- despite
seemingly contradictory directives from the U.S. government.  The
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has demanded Morgan Drexen
release private financial and attorney communications of
bankruptcy clients protected by attorney-client privilege.
However, on Aug. 19, Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Edith
Ramirez said the FTC is pushing Congress for the power to secure
civil penalties against businesses that "fail to maintain
reasonable security," according to a report by Corporate Counsel,
a watchdog organization for attorneys.

"It strikes me as hypocritical and disjointed that one government
agency would demand extreme protection of private data, while
other government agencies aggressively attempt to harvest that
very same data," said Walter Ledda, Morgan Drexen CEO.  "This is
like the fox guarding the henhouse. The government can't claim to
be protecting privacy while invading it at the same time."

In recent months, the CFPB has been harshly criticized for
monitoring up to 900 million credit card accounts and spending
more than $20 million to collect and analyze the data.  The
Government Accountability Office is now investigating the CFPB's
data mining efforts.  The National Security Agency (NSA) has also
come under fire for its data gathering and domestic surveillance
programs.

On Aug. 19, Ms. Ramirez gave the keynote address at the Technology
Policy Institute in Aspen, CO, saying in her prepared remarks,
"The indiscriminate collection of data violates the First
Commandment of data hygiene: Thou shall not collect and hold onto
personal information unnecessary to an identified purpose. Keeping
data on the off-chance that it might prove useful is not
consistent with privacy best practices."

In July, Connecticut attorney Kimberly Pisinski and Morgan Drexen
filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the
CFPB, as well as its overreaching demands for sensitive financial
documents.  On Aug. 20, the CFPB filed a separate suit against
Morgan Drexen in a jurisdiction 3,000 miles from the pending
lawsuit -- a move the company's outside counsel described as
"procedural gamesmanship."

"This is disruptive and inefficient and distracts from what we
should be doing, which is preparing to present arguments to the DC
court on the constitutionality of the CFPB structure," said
Randall K. Miller, Partner, Venable LLP.

Morgan Drexen has outlined its commitment to protecting sensitive,
privileged communications between attorneys and their clients.

* Spanky Assiter to Hold Equipment Auction on Aug. 29
-----------------------------------------------------
Amarillo-based auctioneer Spanky Assiter may be most famous for
his nationally televised auctions of classic collector autos, but
for the next week, his focus will be on heavy equipment --
loaders, graders, excavators, and scores of pickup trucks,
passenger vans and other heavy machinery.

It's all part of Assiter Auctioneers' upcoming auction of heavy
equipment being sold for the City of Amarillo, XCEL Energy, the
U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and various banks, credit unions and other
sellers.  Online bidding is already under way on the equipment,
with the live auction set for 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 29.

"The big auto auctions get more national attention, but here in
Texas, this probably has a bigger impact on the regional economy,
and this will be a lot of fun," said Assiter. "Much of this is
heavy equipment used for construction, utility work and
agriculture, but we have a lot of items that will interest
individuals, including pickups, some Crown Victorias, a few
motorcycles and even a fishing boat," he said.

The equipment is located at the auction company's facility at
16650 Interstate 27, Canyon.  Individuals interested in additional
information may view the entire inventory at

In addition to heading up Assiter Auctioneers, Assiter is official
auctioneer of Barrett-Jackson, whose multi-day auctions of classic
vehicles are televised frequently on the SPEED network.

Assiter Auctioneers, based in Canyon, specializes in the sale of
equipment, homes, commercial properties, land and other assets.

* BOOK REVIEW: Land Use Policy in the United States

In 1962, marking the 100th anniversary of the signing of the
Homestead Act by President Lincoln, 20 nationally recognized
economists, historians, a political scientist, and a geographer
presented papers at the Homestead Centennial Symposium at the
University of Nebraska. Their task was to appraise the course
that United States land policy had taken since independence. The
resulting papers are presented in this book, grouped into five
major areas: historical background; social factors influencing
U.S. land policy; past, present and future demands for lands in
the U.S.; control of land resources; and implications for future
land policy.

This book begins with a summary of the Homestead Act, its
antecedents, the arguments of its supporters and detractors, and
its intent versus implementation. The Act offered a quarter
section (160 acres) of public land in the West to citizens and
intended citizens for a $14 filing fee and an agreement to live
on the land for five years. The program ended in 1935.

Advocates claimed that frontier lad had no value to the
government until it was developed and began generating tax
revenue. Opponents feared the Act would lower land valued in the
East and pushed for government sale of the land. In practice,
states, territories, railroads and investors were able to set
aside more land than was eventually handed over to the
homesteaders.

One paper deals with land policy before 1862. From the start,
the U.S. required that "all grants of land by the federal
government should embody a description of the land not merely in
quality, but in place as defined by relation to an actual
survey." This policy avoided countless boundary disputes so
vexing to other countries.

Perhaps most interesting are the social history chapters:
Czechoslovakians pushing wheelbarrows across Nebraska,
"Daughters and Sons of the Revolution.(living) next
to.Mennonites," and "an illiterate.neighborly with a Greek and a
Hebrew scholar from a colony of Russian Jews." Mail-order
brides, "defectors from civilization," the importance of the
Mason jar, the Jeffersonian dream of a nation of agrarian
freeholders, and Santayana's observation that the typical
American skitters between visionary idealism and crass
materialism, all make for fascinating reading.

The land-use policy problems discussed certainly haven't been
solved today. And, although land use conflicts in the U.S.
haven't always been resolved equitably, "the big step forward
taken by the United States during the last one hundred and fifty
years in the age-long struggle of man towards the ideals of
mutuality and equity has been the working out of a system
wherein the sovereign superior who prescribes the working-rules
for land use and decision making have become, himself, a
collective of the citizenry."

A chapter is devoted to the arguments between the family farm ad
the "sentiment against concentration of wealth in the hands of a
few." The discussion of the Land Grant college system and its
contribution to international development closes with a quote
from Chester Bowles:

"Can we, now the richest people on earth, become creative
participants in the unprecedented revolutionary changes of our
era, changes that the most privileged people will oppose tooth
and nail, but which for the bulk of mankind offer the hopeful
prospect of a little more food, a little more opportunity, a
doctor for their sick child, and sense of personal dignity?"



                            *********

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

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

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