2279-2283 THIRD: Fails to Pay Tax; IRS Seeks Case Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
adjourned to Oct. 16, 2013, at 10 a.m., the hearing to consider
the motion to dismiss, or convert to one under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Chapter 11 case of 2279-2283 Third Avenue
Associates LLC.

The United States of America, on behalf of the Internal Revenue
Service, by its counsel, Preet Bharara, Esq., explained that the
Court must grant the requested relief because the Debtor has
failed to file federal tax returns for multiple tax years.

The hearing was originally set for Oct. 2, 2013, at 10 a.m.

                   About 2279-2273 Third Avenue

2279-2283 Third Avenue Associates LLC and 2279-2283 Third Avenue
Development LLC sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 12-13092 and 12-13093) on July 17, 2012.
Jonathan S. Pasternak, Esq., at DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise
& Wiederkehr, LLP, in White Plains, N.Y., represents the Debtors
as counsel.

Third Avenue Associates owns two contiguous multi residential
buildings located at 2279-2283 Third Avenue, in New York.  Third
Avenue Development is the sole member of Associates.  The Property
is Associate's primary asset, while Development's membership
interests in Associates is its sole asset.  Debtor 2279-2283 Third
Avenue disclosed $14,839,697 in assets and $16,973,992 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

The managing member of each of the Debtors is Michael Waldman.  He
is also the managing member of 3210 Riverdale Associates LLC and
the managing member of the sole member of 3210 Riverdale
Development LLC, other Chapter 11 proceedings currently pending
before the SDNY Court under Case Nos. 12-11286 and 12-11109.

Third Avenue Associates obtained financing from commerce bank of
$14 million and Development obtained mezzanine financing from HSBC
Capital (USA) Inc. in the amount of $6 million.  HSBC refused to
grant additional $700,000 in financing requested by the Debtor to
fund build-outs required by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Commerce note -- which was assigned to TD Bank and then to
LSV-JCR 124th LLC -- was secured by a mortgage on the Properties,
and the HSBC obligation is secured by a mortgage on Associates'
membership interest owned by Development.

The HSBC note matured in 2011 and HSBC called the loan into
default and commenced foreclosure action.  The state court entered
an order appointing Steven Weiss as receiver of rents.  THSBC has
assigned its mezzanine note to LCP-GC LLC.

On July 3, 2012, the Debtors and their two secured lenders, LSV-
JCR 124th LLC and LCP-GC LLC entered into a settlement that
requires the Debtors to transfer ownership of the buildings to the
secured lenders through a Chapter 11 plan.

Judge James Peck oversees the Chapter 11 cases.  No trustee,
examiner or official committee has been appointed in the cases.

The Plan filed in the Debtors' cases contemplate the transfer of
the property commonly known as 2279-2283 Third Avenue, in New
York, to LSV-JCR 124th LLC, as senior lender, in full satisfaction
of its Allowed Secured Claims in the estimated amount of $14.5
million.  In consideration thereof, the Senior Lender will: (1)
fund the distributions to creditors under the Plan, including (a)
payment of all outstanding real estate taxes and related
administrative charges claimed by the City of New York (approx.
$250,000), the fees of the Debtor's attorney (approx. $50,000) and
an approximate 13.5% distribution to holders of Allowed Unsecured
Claims ($100,000); and (2) waive its deficiency Unsecured Claim of
approximately $500,000.


2279-2283 THIRD: Plan Confirmation Hearing Adjourned to Oct. 16
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
adjourned to Oct. 16, 2013, at 10 a.m., the hearing to consider:

   1. the confirmation of 2279-2283 Third Avenue Associates
      LLC's Joint Plan of Reorganization;

   2. final applications for professional compensation and
      reimbursement of expenses; and

   3. the Internal Revenue Service motion to dismiss or convert
      Chapter 11 case.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 26, 2013,
Judge James Peck approved the Debtor's first amended disclosure
statement explaining its Plan of Reorganization and scheduled a
hearing on Sept. 17, to consider confirmation of the Plan and
final applications for allowance of professional fees and
reimbursement of expenses.

The Plan contemplates the transfer of the property commonly known
as 2279-2283 Third Avenue, in New York, to LSV-JCR 124th LLC, as
senior lender, in full satisfaction of its Allowed Secured Claims
in the estimated amount of $14.5 million.  In consideration
thereof, the Senior Lender will: (1) fund the distributions to
creditors under the Plan, including (a) payment of all outstanding
real estate taxes and related administrative charges claimed by
the City of New York (approx. $250,000), the fees of Debtor's
attorney (approx. $50,000) and an approximate 13.5% distribution
to holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims ($100,000); and (2) waive
its deficiency Unsecured Claim of approximately $500,000.

Under the Plan, Class 3 (Senior Lender Claim) and Class 4 (General
Unsecured Claims) are impaired and entitled to vote on the Plan.
Class 5 (Equity Interests) will receive no distributions under the
Plan and is therefore deemed to have rejected the Plan.  Classes 1
and 2 are unimpaired and conclusively deemed to have accepted the
Plan.

Aug. 9, 2013, is available for free at:

AEROVISION HOLDINGS: Oct. 1 Hearing Set on Bid to Dismiss Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tiger Aircraft Corporation, Logix Global, Inc., and M&M Aircraft
Acquisitions, Inc., filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
seeking dismissal of the chapter 11 case of Aerovision Holdings 1
Corp. or, in the alternative, an order terminating the automatic
stay imposed by these bankruptcy proceedings so that the lawsuit
captioned as, Northrop TF51 Corp, et al v. Tiger Aircraft Corp, a
Delaware Corporation, et al, Case No CA 13-32, which is currently
pending in the Seventh Judicial Circuit in and for St. Johns
County, Florida, may proceed.

Tiger et al. also join i3 Aircraft Holdings One, LLC and
Integration Innovation, Inc.'s motion to dismiss or, in the
alternative, for relief from the automatic stay, filed June 28,
2013, in this bankruptcy case.

Tiger et al. ask the Court to dismiss Aerovision's petition "for
cause" pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b) and Sec. 105(a).  In the
alternative, Tiger et al. request that the Bankruptcy Court enter
an order granting Tiger et al. relief from the automatic stay "for
cause" pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec.  362(d)(1) and Eleventh Circuit
case law because the petition in this case was filed in "bad
faith" by Aerovision's, and the individuals behind the Debtor,
Mark Daniels and his attorney Steven Selz.

Tiger et al. said the relief requested will permit a pending
action on the fraudulent possession of the subject property in
this petition to continue in the Florida Circuit Court and will
prevent further fraud on the judicial process.  The relief
requested will also put a stop on the Debtor's intent to abuse the
purposes of the reorganization provisions by using such provisions
to delay the enforcement of the Circuit Court's order to return
the subject property and to further delay the Circuit Court from
proceeding with an evidentiary hearing regarding the fraudulent
actions of Mark Daniels and Steven Selz.

Hearing on the motion is scheduled for Oct. 1, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
at 1515 N Flagler Dr Room 801 Courtroom A, West Palm Beach.

AFA FOODS: Beef Co. Claims Unit Withheld Info in Tainted Meat Case
------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Nebraska beef company said it wants an
automatic stay lifted in the bankruptcy case for AFA Foods Inc. --
which sought court protection amid the "pink slime" filler
controversy -- claiming it has new evidence that will change the
outcome of a tainted meat dispute with the Debtor's affiliate.

According to the report, Greater Omaha Packaging Co. Inc., which
lost a dispute in federal court over who was liable for a 2009 E.
coli outbreak in Maine, said it recently discovered information it
alleges was withheld.

                         About AFA Foods

King of Prussia, Pennsylvania-based AFA Foods Inc. was one of the
largest processors of ground beef products in the United States.
AFA had seven facilities capable of producing 800 million pound of
ground beef annually.  Revenue in 2011 was $958 million.

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

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

Judge Mary Walrath presides over the case.  Laura Davis Jones,
Esq., Timothy P. Cairns, Esq., and Peter J. Keane, Esq., at
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware; Tobias
S. Keller, Esq., at Jones Day, in San Francisco; and Jeffrey B.
Ellman, Esq., and Brett J. Berlin, Esq., at Jones Day, in Atlanta,
Georgia, represent the Debtors.  FTI Consulting Inc. serves as the
Debtors' financial advisors and Imperial Capital LLC serves as
marketing consultants.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as
noticing and claims agent.

As of Feb. 29, 2012, the Debtors' books and records on a
consolidated basis, reflected approximately $219 million in assets
and $197 million in liabilities.  AFA Foods, Inc., disclosed
$615,859,574 in assets and $544,499,689 in liabilities as of the
Petition Date.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed seven
members to the official committee of unsecured creditors in the
Debtors' cases.  The Committee has obtained approval to hire
McDonald Hopkins LLC as lead counsel and Potter Anderson &
Corroon LLP serves as co-counsel.  The Committee also obtained
approval to retain J.H. Cohn LLP as its financial advisor.

AFA, in its Chapter 11 case, sold plants and paid off the first-
lien lenders and the loan financing the Chapter 11 effort.
Remaining assets are $14 million cash and the right to file
lawsuits.

General Electric Capital Corp. and Bank of America Corp. provided
about $60 million in DIP financing.  The loan was paid off in
July 2012.

In October 2012, the Bankruptcy Court denied a settlement that
would have released Yucaipa Cos., the owner and junior lender to
AFA Foods, from claims and lawsuits the creditors might otherwise
bring, in exchange for cash to pay unsecured creditors' claims
under a liquidating Chapter 11 plan.  Under the deal, Yucaipa
would receive $11.2 million from the $14 million, with the
remainder earmarked for unsecured creditors.  Asset recoveries
above $14 million would be split with Yucaipa receiving 90% and
creditors 10%.  Proceeds from lawsuits would be divided roughly
50-50.


AFFIRMATIVE INSURANCE: Changes CEO Option Grant to 250,000 Shares
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc., and Gary Y. Kusumi, the
Company's chief executive officer, entered into an Amendment No. 1
to Stock Option Agreement amending the Options Award effective
Aug. 10, 2011, to revise the number of stock options granted to
Mr. Kusumi to 250,000, within the limits of the plan.  Mr. Kusumi
also agreed to release the Company from liability relating to the
original Options Award grant and the Amendment.  Additionally, the
Compensation Committee approved a new award of stock options to
Mr. Kusumi to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock of the
Company.

The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors on
Aug. 10, 2011, approved an award of stock options to Mr. Kusumi to
purchase 850,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  However,
the Company subsequently determined that the award of stock
options to purchase 600,000 shares of the 850,000 shares of common
stock was not validly granted pursuant to the Company's 2004
Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan because it exceeded the
limit on the number of stock-based awards that may be granted to
any individual participant within any calendar year.  Accordingly,
the grant of these 600,000 stock options was ineffective and void
under the Plan.

                     About Affirmative Insurance

Addison, Tex.-based Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc., is a
distributor and producer of non-standard personal automobile
insurance policies for individual consumers in targeted geographic
markets.  Non-standard personal automobile insurance policies
provide coverage to drivers who find it difficult to obtain
insurance from standard automobile insurance companies due to
their lack of prior insurance, age, driving record, limited
financial resources or other factors.  Non-standard personal
automobile insurance policies generally require higher premiums
than standard automobile insurance policies for comparable
coverage.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net
loss of $4.76 million on $136.59 million of total revenues, as
compared with a net loss of $14.17 million on $103.21 million of
total revenues for the same period during the prior year.  The
Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $392.86 million
in total assets, $532.41 million in total liabilities and a
$139.55 million total stockholders' deficit.


AFFIRMATIVE INSURANCE: Moody's Affirms 'Caa1' IFS Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Caa1 insurance
financial strength rating (IFS) of Affirmative Insurance Company,
lead insurance operating subsidiary of Affirmative Insurance
Holdings, Inc. following the announcement that Affirmative will
sell its retail agency distribution business to Confie Seguros, a
California-based national insurance distribution company, for up
to $120 million in cash, including $40 million contingent on risk-
based capital levels at AIC.

Moody's changed the rating outlook for AIC's insurance financial
strength rating to stable from negative reflecting greater capital
available to AIC as a result of the sale, the resolution of a
deficiency with a loss reserve requirement under the Illinois
Insurance Code, and improvement in underwriting results. The
transaction is expected to close within the next 30 days.

Ratings Rationale:

The $120 million consideration is composed of $80 million in cash,
and $40 million to be released to Affirmative dependent on AIC
meeting risk-based capital (RBC) ratio levels over the next 6-24
months. Affirmative expects to pay down the $119 million
outstanding balance under its senior credit facility with the $80
million in proceeds ($72 million after transaction expenses),
together with a new financing arrangement. Additionally, in
connection with the transaction, Affirmative will enter into a
distribution agreement where Confie Seguros will continue to
produce insurance business for AIC, designed to preserve business
volume produced through the retail channel. Affirmative sourced
nearly 50% of its gross written premium during the first half of
2013 from the retail channel.

Moody's notes that the transaction's terms and conditions support
capital stability and lead to more available capital over the
medium term for AIC, predominantly from the $40 million in
contingent proceeds which can be used by Affirmative to either pay
down debt or infuse capital into AIC should RBC ratios decline.
Further, as of June 30, 2013, AIC was in compliance with the loss
reserve requirement under the Illinois Insurance Code, after
having been deficient during 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.
The distribution agreement will also stabilize written premiums
levels going forward as Affirmative plans to improve its
underwriting profitability.

During the first six months, AIC reported a combined ratio of
103%, a notable improvement from 114% in 2012, as well as a 66%
increase in direct written premium, due to a combination of rate
increases, lower competition, and initiatives such as exiting
unprofitable geographic areas and enhancing internal controls.
Policyholders' surplus increased by approximately $4 million in
the first six months of 2013 to $52.4 million, and operating cash
flow was negative $1.6 million, a notable improvement from 2012
and prior years. As of year-end 2012, the statutory risk-based
capital (RBC) ratio of AIC was 225%.

AIC's rating reflects its historically weak profitability and
negative operating cash flow in addition to the company's
considerable challenges given its limited scale and narrow focus
on its niche market of non-standard personal auto. The company's
financial condition remains very weak, given its negative
unassigned surplus position and inability to dividend funds to the
parent without regulatory approval.

Moody's noted the following factors could lead to an upgrade of
the financial strength rating: 1) consistently favorable operating
performance (combined ratios of 105% or better); 2) meaningful
increases in RBC levels of AIC; 3) stabilization of loss reserve
development on prior years. Conversely, the following factors
could lead to a downgrade: 1) meaningful decreases in RBC levels
of AIC; 2) regulatory action on the group's regulated insurance
subsidiaries; 3) continued weak underwriting results and negative
cash flow from operations.

The senior secured and corporate family ratings (both rated Ca,
negative) for Affirmative remain unchanged following the
announcement, and Moody's expects to withdraw these ratings upon
full repayment of the facility.

The following rating was affirmed, with a stable outlook:

Affirmative Insurance Company -- insurance financial strength at
Caa1.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Moody's Global
Rating Methodology for Property and Casualty Insurers published in
May 2010.

Affirmative, based in Addison, TX is a producer and provider of
non-standard personal automobile insurance to consumers in highly
targeted geographic markets. The company offers products in 9
states including Louisiana, Texas, California, Alabama and
Illinois. For the first six months of 2012, Affirmative reported
direct written premium of $153.9 million and reported a net loss
of $4.8 million. As of June 30, 2013, AIC's policyholders' surplus
was $52.4 million.


ALLIED SYSTEMS: Judge Approves $135-Mil. Sale to Jack Cooper
------------------------------------------------------------
Marie Beaudette, writing for DBR Small Cap, reported that a
bankruptcy judge cleared auto hauler Jack Cooper Transport Co. to
buy most of the assets of rival Allied Systems Holdings Inc. out
of bankruptcy for $135 million.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, when the
reopened auction for Allied Systems concluded on Sept. 12, auto
hauler Jack Cooper emerged as the winning bidder with an offer of
$135 million.  Jack Cooper, based in Kansas City, Missouri, will
pay $125 million in cash and a $10 million senior secured note
paying interest at 9.25 percent.

The buyer has the right to pay off the note at any time with
accrued interest.  Jack Cooper refers to itself as the largest
truck-based auto hauler in the U.S.  It is acquiring substantially
all of the assets except for some real property the lenders are
taking over.  At the first auction in August, Allied declared the
lenders to be the winning bidder with an offer of $105 million,
consisting of $40.5 million cash and a credit bid of $64.5 million
where the lenders would have paid with secured debt rather than
cash.  A flurry of objections ensued. The bankruptcy judge decided
to reopen the auction.

                       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. first 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 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.

Allied Systems Holdings Inc. formally put itself and 18
subsidiaries into bankruptcy reorganization June 10, 2012,
following the filing of the involuntary Chapter 11 petition.

The Company is being advised by the law firms of Troutman Sanders,
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.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Unions Rally for Merger with US Airways
----------------------------------------------------------
Diane Bartz, writing for Reuters, reported that union members who
work for American Airlines and US Airways Group rallied on Capitol
Hill on Sept. 18, urging the U.S. Justice Department to drop its
opposition to a planned merger between the two airlines.

According to the report, the rally by pilots, flight attendants,
baggage handlers and others also attracted a handful of the 300
lawmakers that the union representatives are meeting this week in
hopes of building support for the deal.

Representatives of the Association of Professional Flight
Attendants, the Allied Pilots Association and US Airline Pilots
Association and the Transport Workers Union also met on Wednesday
with William Baer, the head of the Justice Department's Antitrust
Division, to express displeasure over the lawsuit, a union source
said, the report related.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Aug. 13 to stop the
planned merger between US Airways and American's parent, AMR
Corp., the report added.  The government argues it would violate
antitrust laws because it would lead to higher airfares and other
fees.

A judge will hear the case without a jury in November and decide
whether the deal can go forward, the report further noted.

to create a premier global carrier, which will have an implied
combined equity value of approximately $11 billion.

The bankruptcy judge on Sept. 12, 2013, confirmed AMR Corp.'s plan
to exit bankruptcy through a merger with US Airways.  By
distributing stock in the merged airlines, the plan is designed to
pay all creditors in full, with interest.

Judge Sean Lane confirmed the Plan despite the lawsuit filed by
the U.S. Department of Justice and several states' attorney
general complaining that the merger violates antitrust laws.  The
plan confirmation order means that if AMR and US Airways win the
Justice Department lawsuit or settle with the government, the
merger plan can go into effect.

AMERICAN SEAFOODS: Pending Russian MSC Cert. No Impact on Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's views the pending Russian Marine Stewardship Council
certification as a credit negative to American Seafoods Group LLC
but it does not affect the company's B3 Corporate Family Rating or
the company's debt instrument ratings. Rated debt instruments
include the company's Ba3 rated senior secured credit facilities
and Caa1 rated senior subordinated notes.

The pending certification is a credit negative because it will
increase the global supply of MSC certified Pollock, which will
put additional pressure on market prices that have come down
materially during the last few years. ASG was recently downgraded
as a result of high leverage and underperformance relative to
expectations, which was largely driven by declining surimi and roe
prices, as well as Japanese Yen weakness.


AMES DEPARTMENT STORES: Plan Confirmation Hearing Set for Nov. 13
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert E. Gerber of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York approved the disclosure statement
explaining the modified second amended Chapter 11 plan of Ames
Department Stores, Inc., and its debtor affiliates.

The hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan is scheduled for
Nov. 13, 2013, at 9:45 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time).  Objections
to the confirmation are due on or before Oct. 18.

The Plan is a straightforward mechanism for liquidating the
Debtors' Assets.  Under the Plan, an initial Distribution will
occur on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter
to satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax
Claims, Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims, and Indenture Trustee
Fees, i.e., the reasonable and documented compensation, fees,
expenses, disbursements, and indemnity claims of the Indenture
Trustees and their attorneys, advisors, and agents (up to $125,000
per Indenture Trustee). Additional Distributions will be made to
holders of Allowed Note and General Unsecured Claims to the extent
the Debtors have sufficient Available Cash to make Distributions
to such Claimholders. If the Debtors do not have sufficient
Available Cash to make Distributions to such Claimholders, the
balance of the Debtors' Assets, once Professional Fee Claims are
paid, will be distributed to one or more reputable charitable
organization(s) pursuant to the Plan.

ANGLO IRISH: Creditors Blast Bank's Bid for Emergency Stay
----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that U.S. creditors of Irish Bank Resolution Corp.
Ltd., formerly known as Anglo Irish Bank, urged a bankruptcy judge
in Delaware in the U.S. to deny an emergency bid to invoke the
court's automatic stay, saying the bank lacks any justification
for the expedited timetable.

According to the report, already in liquidation in its home
country, Dublin-based IBRC filed motions asking the court postpone
consideration of its Chapter 15 petition and instead use the
Sept. 20 scheduled hearing to grant the bank provisional relief, a
move creditors claim would deprive them of their rights.

                       About Anglo Irish

Anglo Irish Bank was an Irish bank headquartered in Dublin from
1964 to 2011.  It went into wind-down mode after nationalization
in 2009.  In July 2011, Anglo Irish merged with the Irish
Nationwide Building Society, with the new company being named the
Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC).

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its long-
and short-term counterparty credit ratings on Irish Bank
Resolution Corp. Ltd. (IBRC) to 'D/D' from 'B-/C'.   S&P also
lowered the senior unsecured ratings to 'D' from 'B-'.  S&P then
withdrew the counterparty credit ratings, the senior unsecured
ratings, and the preferred stock ratings on IBRC.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'BBB+' issue rating on three government-
guaranteed debt issues.

The rating actions follow the Feb. 6, 2013, announcement that the
Irish government has liquidated IBRC.

The former Irish bank sought protection from creditors under
Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on Aug. 26, 2013 (Bankr. D.
Del., Case No. 13-12159).  The former bank's Foreign
Representatives are Kieran Wallace and Eamonn Richardson.  Its
U.S. bankruptcy counsel are Mark D. Collins, Esq., and Jason M.
Madron, Esq., at RICHARDS, LAYTON & FINGER, P.A., in Wilmington,

ARCH COAL INC: Bank Debt Trades at 2% Off
-----------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Arch Coal Inc is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 98.05 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, September 20, 2013, according
to data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing and reported
in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.51
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
Arch Coal Inc. pays 450 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under
the facility.  The bank loan matures on May 17, 2018.  The bank
debt carries Moody's Ba3 rating and Standard & Poor's BB- rating.
The loan is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 204 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

Arch Coal is one of the largest US coal producers which operate in
all of the major US coal basins. The company's production consists
mainly of low-sulfur thermal coal from its Power River Basin mines
and thermal and metallurgical coal from Appalachia. In 2012, the
company generated roughly $4 billion in revenues.

                             *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 7, 2013,
Moody's Investors Service placed all ratings of Arch Coal on
review for possible downgrade, including the company's B2
Corporate Family Rating, B2-PD Probability of Default Rating, Ba3
rating on senior secured credit facility, and the B3 rating on
senior unsecured debt. The rating action was prompted by recent
deterioration in performance and persistent weakness in market
conditions for both thermal and metallurgical coal.


ARISTA POWER: Gets $625,000 Contract Develop Micro-Grid System
--------------------------------------------------------------
Arista Power, Inc., has received a contract valued at $625,000
from the U.S. Army to further develop an Intelligent Micro-Grid
System in support of the U.S. Army Communications Electronics
Research and Development Center's (CERDEC's) Command Power and
Integration Renewable Energy for Distributed Under-Supplied
Command Environments (REDUCE) program.

The contract builds on Arista Power's successful Phase 1 and Phase
2 programs, for which Arista Power is the prime contractor.  Under
the next phase of the program, Arista Power will continue work
towards the standardization of interfaces and development of an
open communication protocol allowing a truly plug and play
environment to be leveraged by military micro grids deployed in
forward operating bases.  The contract calls for Arista Power to
provide demonstrated capability of an advanced Energy Resource
Manager and the ability to utilize multiple energy storage systems
of various chemistries seamlessly within the same micro-grid
system.

Arista Power was selected as prime contractor to develop the U.S.
Army's Intelligent Micro-Grid in January 2012, and received a
Phase Two development contract to further develop the system in
October 2012.

A top priority for the U.S. Army is the availability of adequate
power in remote locations to run all the equipment necessary to
fight a war and maintain the quality of life for soldiers at these
locations.  Because a majority of the power used at these
locations is provided by diesel generators, the difficulty and
expense of providing the fuel to run these generators at remote
locations is a major concern for the U.S. Army.

"The Department of Defense has established an overall goal of
obtaining 25% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020," said
Adeeb Saba, Arista Power's vice president of operations and
project manager of the Intelligent Micro-Grid System Program.
"Arista Power is proud to be playing a role in this effort and is
committed to being a reliable and innovative partner of the U.S.
Army and the Department of Defense in their ongoing efforts toward
achieving that objective."

                        About Arista Power

Rochester, N.Y.-based Arista Power, Inc., is a developer,
manufacturer, and supplier of custom-designed power management
systems, renewable energy storage systems, and a supplier and
designer of solar energy systems.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.03 million on $437,260 of
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with a net

period of 2012.  The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013,
showed $2.54 million in total assets, $3.11 million in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $571,126.

"The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern.  Since its formation,
the Company utilized funds generated from private placement
offerings and debt to fund its product development and operations
and has incurred a cumulative net loss of $25,789,328.  The
recurring losses from operations to date raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,"
according to the Company's quarterly report for the period ended
June 30, 2013.

ATP OIL: Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action in Texas
-------------------------------------------------------
Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP on Sept. 20
disclosed that it has filed a class action lawsuit against ATP Oil
and Gas Corporation and certain of its officers.  The class
action, filed in United States District Court, Southern District
of Texas, and docketed under 13-cv-02557, is on behalf of a class
consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise
acquired securities of ATP between December 16, 2010 and August
17, 2012 both dates inclusive.  This class action seeks to recover
damages as a result of alleged violations of the federal
securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder.

If you are a shareholder who purchased ATP securities during the
Class Period, you have until October 4, 2013 to ask the Court to
appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.  A copy of the
Complaint can be obtained at http://www.pomerantzlaw.comTo
discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at
rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll
free, x237.  Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include
their mailing address, telephone number, and number of shares
purchased.

ATP is engaged in the acquisition, development, and production of
oil and natural gas properties.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants
made materially false and misleading statements regarding the
Company's business and operations.  Specifically, Defendants made
false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: on
October 12, 2010, ATP filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement
with the SEC, indicating its intent to issue 11.875% Senior Second
Lien Exchange Notes.  After one amendment on December 14, 2010,
the Company filed a Prospectus on December 16, 2010 on Form 424B3,
which was declared effective by the SEC on the same day.  Pursuant
to the Registration Statement and Prospectus, ATP executed the
Exchange, which offered $1.5 billion worth of Notes.  The
Registration Statement contained false and misleading statements
and/or omissions of material fact about the company and its
operations.

On August 17, 2012, ATP announced that it was filing for Chapter
11 bankruptcy.  The Company reported total debts of $3.49 billion
and assets of $3.64 billion.  It announced that it was going to
continue operating during its financial restructuring using $618
million in debtor-in-possession funding.  During the course of the
Bankruptcy Action, the truth was revealed that ATP had: (1)
severely downplayed the impact that the United States Department
of Interior moratoria had on the Company's business and revenues;
(2) violated the provisions of certain credit agreements to which
the Company was a party; (3) issued a Registration Statement that
contained false and misleading statements and/or omissions of
material fact; and (4) subsequently made materially false and
misleading statements regarding the liquidity and financial
condition of the Company.

As a result of the false and misleading misstatements and
omissions, the price of ATP stock fell from $15.36 at the
beginning of the Class Period to $0.30 at the time of the
bankruptcy filing.

BLACKBERRY LTD: To Slash Workforce by Up to 40% by Year End
-----------------------------------------------------------
Will Connors, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
struggling BlackBerry Ltd. is preparing for deep staff cuts -- up
to 40% of its employees -- by the end of the year, people familiar
with the matter said.

According to the report, the layoffs will cut across all
departments and occur in waves, likely affecting several thousand
workers, the people said. BlackBerry had 12,700 employees as of
March, the last time it disclosed a total number.

The cuts come as the once dominant smartphone maker looks for ways
to get a handle on costs and shrink its operations to better fit a
world in which competitors such as Apple Inc. and Samsung
Electronics Co. have eaten into its market share, the report
related.

"Organizational moves will continue to occur to ensure we have the
right people in the right roles to drive new opportunities in
mobile computing," a BlackBerry spokesman told WSJ.  He declined
to comment on the 40% figure.

Smaller rounds of layoffs began earlier this summer, mostly from
the sales and research-and-development divisions, and follow the
loss of 5,000 jobs last year, the report further related.  Some
employees have been told which of the new waves of cuts will
affect them, one of the people said.

BlackBerry shares fell 1.5% to $10.40 on Sept. 18, the report
noted.


BLACKBERRY LTD: Lowers Net Loss to $84-Mil. in First Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
Research In Motion Limited, now known as BlackBerry, reported a
net loss of $84 million on $3.07 billion of revenue for the three
months ended June 1, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $518
million on $2.80 billion of revenue for the three months ended
June 2, 2012.  The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable
to an increase in the Company's gross margin, partially offset by
an increase in marketing expenditures and sales incentives to
support the continued launch of BlackBerry 10 and a reduction in
the recovery of income taxes.

The Company's balance sheet at June 1, 2013, showed $13.07 billion
in total assets, $3.67 billion in total liabilities and $9.39
billion in shareholders' equity.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments increased by $196 million
to $3.1 billion as at June 1, 2013, from $2.9 billion as at
March 2, 2013, primarily as a result of operating cash flows
including changes net in working capital.

Based on its current financial projections, the Company believes
its financial resources, together with expected future operating
cash generating activities and available borrowings under the
Facility, or access to other potential financing arrangements,
should be sufficient to meet funding requirements for current
financial commitments, for future operating expenditures not yet
committed and also provide the necessary financial capacity for
the foreseeable future.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the
Company intends to leverage its strong cash position to
efficiently invest in the launches of BlackBerry 10 smartphones
and the roll out of BES 10 in order to drive adoption and unit
volumes and further penetrate the BlackBerry 10 platform in the
market.

As reported by the TCR on May 15, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to B3
from Caa1 and its Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from
Caa1-PD.

"The upgrade of Bon-Ton's Corporate Family Rating considers the
company's ability to drive modest same store sales growth as well
as operating margin expansion beginning in the second half of 2012
and that these positive trends have continued, with the company
reporting that its same store were positive, and EBITDA margins
expanded, in the first fiscal quarter of 2013," said Moody's Vice
President Scott Tuhy.

As reported by the TCR on May 17, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services affirmed the 'B-' corporate credit rating on The Bon-Ton
Stores Inc.


BRAZOSPORT REGIONAL: S&P Lowers Rating on 2012 Bonds to 'BB+'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating to 'BB+'
from 'BBB-' on Brazoria County Health Facilities Development
Corp., Texas' series 2012 revenue and refunding bonds issued for
Brazosport Regional Health System (BRHS).  The outlook for the
rating is stable.

The downgrade and stable outlook reflect S&P's view of
Brazosport's business prospects given the system's dominant market
position and the stabilized local economy but also factor in the
uncertainty the implementation of health reform will have on
future revenues and expenses.  S&P also believes that Brazosport's
balance sheet, while , at June 30, 2013 is adequate for the
current rating, offers little financial flexibility in the face of
material operating volatility or other stresses.

The series 2012 bonds were issued to fully refund the system's
series 2004 bonds outstanding and to provide $12.3 million of net
new money for various capital projects, including emergency
department renovations, upgraded HVAC systems, and patient floor
and other upgrades that have lowered the medical center's
previously high average age of plant.


BROWNSVILLE MD: Gets Interim Order to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
Brownsville MD Ventures LLC obtained an interim order from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court to use cash collateral pending a final
hearing on Oct. 23, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.

The company defeated a bid by Pineda Grantor Trust which sought to
prohibit the use of cash collateral.  Pineda said the Debtor
currently cannot provide adequate protection to Pineda for use of
cash collateral. The Debtor is not generating new receivables from
its operations and therefore, cannot grant to Pineda replacement
liens on the cash collateral being used by the Debtor.  Pineda
argued that, without providing adequate protection, the Debtor's
motion should be denied.

Pursuant to the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use
cash collateral to pay these expenses:

   a. an adequate assurance security deposit in the amount of
      $25,000 to the Brownsville Public Utilities Board, the
      Debtor's utility provider;

   b. a post-petition utility bill payable on Oct. 1, 2013, in the
      estimated amount of $16,000; and

   c. a monthly insurance premium financing payment for the
      Debtor's real estate property in the amount of $11,890.

The Debtor is not authorized to pay other expenses without consent
of the Pineda Grantor Trust or further Court order.

Pineda Grantor Trust is granted as adequate protection post-
protection replacement lien against the Debtor's Cash Collateral
to the same extent, validity, and priority as existed as of the
Petition Date.  Additionally in the event that the Pineda Grantor
Trust is an under secured creditor, to the extent that the Cash
Collateral is diminished from the amount that existed on the
petition date and to the extent that the Pineda Grantor Trust will
be allowed an administrative claim pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)
for the diminished amount.  The Pineda Grantor Trust may be
granted additional adequate protection in the Final Order.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Begins Loans Refinancing Process
-------------------------------------------------------
Caesars Entertainment Corporation has begun a refinancing process
for the outstanding mortgage loans under the Second Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of Aug. 31, 2010, among certain
subsidiaries of Caesars, Bank of America, N.A., as collateral
agent, and the lenders party thereto, and the outstanding
mezzanine loans under the mezzanine loan agreements for each
tranche of mezzanine loans with certain subsidiaries of Caesars,
Bank of America, N.A., as collateral agent, and the lenders party
thereto.  The borrowers under the CMBS Facilities are launching an
offer to repurchase for cash:

   (i) 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of mortgage
       loans at a price of $0.99 per $1.00 of principal plus
       accrued and unpaid interest; and

  (ii) 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of mezzanine
       loans at a price of $0.90 per $1.00 of principal plus
       accrued and unpaid interest.

The consummation of the CMBS Repurchase is conditioned upon the
acceptance by lenders holding at least 65 percent of the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the mortgage loans and
85 percent of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the
mezzanine loans.  The lenders under the CMBS Facilities have 10
business days to respond to the Existing CMBS Borrowers' offer to
participate in the CMBS Repurchase.  Upon the consummation of the
CMBS Repurchase, the mortgage loans and mezzanine loans and all
related loan documents and security with respect thereto will be
terminated.  As of Sept. 17, 2013, lenders holding approximately
63 percent of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of
mortgage loans and approximately 84 percent of the outstanding
aggregate principal amount of mezzanine loans have accepted the
offer to participate in the CMBS Repurchase.

As of June 30, 2013, there were approximately $4.4 billion of
loans outstanding under the CMBS Facilities.  Pursuant to the
existing terms of the CMBS Facilities, the maturity of the
facilities may, subject to certain conditions, be extended until
February 2015.

In connection with these transactions, certain subsidiaries of
Caesars are launching the syndication of $3,269.5 million of new
senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $3,000 million
term loan facility and a $269.5 million revolving credit facility,
to finance the CMBS Repurchase and refinance the $450 million
senior secured credit facility entered into by Octavius Linq
Holding Co., LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Caesars.
Additionally, the New Borrowers intend to launch an offering of
$500 million of first lien notes and $1,350 million of second lien
notes pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, to finance the CMBS Repurchase and
Octavius/Linq Repayment.  Concurrently with the closing of the New
Financing, Caesars intends to transfer the equity interests in the
subsidiaries of Octavius/Linq Holdings that own the assets
comprising Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace Las Vegas and "Project
Linq" to Rio Properties, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Caesars,
which will be a borrower and issuer under the New Financing.  The
CMBS Repurchase, Octavius/Linq Repayment, Octavius/Linq Transfer
and the New Financing are subject to required regulatory approvals
and market and other conditions, and may not occur as described or
at all.

Certain of the lenders of the mortgage loans who accepted the
offer to participate in the CMBS Repurchase and the lenders of the
mezzanine loans who accepted the offer to participate in the CMBS
Repurchase have agreed, under certain circumstances, to initiate
the buy-sell mechanisms under the CMBS Facilities to purchase for
cash outstanding loans held by lenders who do not accept the
Existing CMBS Borrowers' offer to participate in the CMBS
Repurchase.  The New Borrowers will provide the funding to the
Accepting Mortgage Holders and the Accepting Mezz Holders to fund
their purchase for cash of the mortgage loans and mezzanine loans
from the Non-Accepting Holders.  The purchased Buy-Sell Loans will
be delivered to the Existing CMBS Borrowers for cancellation on
the closing date.

family rating with negative outlook from Moody's Investors
Service.

As reported in the TCR on Feb. 5, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
lowered the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of Caesars

declining revolver availability and Moody's concerns that Caesars'
earnings and cash flow will remain under pressure causing the
company's negative cash flow to worsen.

In the May 7, 2013, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said that it lowered its corporate credit ratings on Las
Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CEC) and wholly owned
subsidiary Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. (CEOC) to 'CCC+'
from 'B-'.

"The downgrade reflects weaker-than-expected operating performance
in the first quarter, and our view that Caesars' capital structure
may be unsustainable over the next two years based on our EBITDA
forecast for the company," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Melissa Long.

Caesars Entertainment Corporation

Ratings affirmed and to be withdrawn

  Corporate Family rating at Caa2

  Probability of Default rating at Caa2-PD

  Speculative Liquidity rating at SGL-3

  Rating Outlook: Negative

Moody's intends to withdraw Caesars Entertainment Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating, Probability of Default rating, and rating
outlook if the transaction closes as anticipated. Moody's ratings
reflect the discrete and pro forma financing arrangements and
credit profiles of Caesars Entertainment Resorts Properties, LLC
and Caesars Entertainment Operating Corporation. However, while
Caesars Entertainment Resorts Properties, LLC and Caesars
Entertainment Operating Corporation will have separate Corporate
Family Ratings, Probability of Default Ratings, and rating
outlooks, they are likely to move in tandem given that there is
some linkage with each other as well as with Caesars Entertainment
Corporation, their parent company. This linkage is evidenced by:
(1) a shared services and management agreement; (2) intellectual
property licenses; (3) lease payment between the two rated
entities; and (4) Caesars Entertainment Corporation's guaranty of
Caesars Entertainment Operating Corporation debt.

Rating Rationale: Caesars Entertainment Resorts Properties, LLC
("CERP")

CERP's B3 Corporate Family Rating largely reflects the company's
high pro forma leverage. Moody's estimates CERP's 2013 pro-forma
debt/EBITDA will approximate 8.2 times, significantly higher than
the 4.5 times to 6.0 times range that is typical for 'B' rated
gaming issuers, according to Moody's Global Gaming Methodology.
Moody's pro-forma EBITDA includes annualized anticipated EBITDA
from completion of Project Linq, rental income from the Leases,
cost savings, and modest growth in same store EBITDA. The
company's high leverage however is partly mitigated by CERP's lack
of significant near term debt maturities, and Moody's view that
this newly formed entity will be able to generate positive free
cash flow. Positive rating consideration is given to the prime
location of its Las Vegas Strip properties. In total, these
properties will account for about 70% of CERP's property-level
EBITDA. Also viewed favorably is the expected completion of
Project Linq that Moody's expects will increase foot traffic and
that will translate into higher revenues and EBITDA. Project Linq
is an open air dining, entertainment and retail development
including an observation wheel on the east side of the Las Vegas
Strip.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that visitation to
Las Vegas will increase in 2014 due to very limited supply growth,
modest GDP growth, and an expected increase in convention and
group bookings that will push high-margin hotel revenue higher.
Moody's expects gaming revenues which are a more discretionary
consumer expenditure will grow at a slower pace than room, food
and beverage revenue.

CERP's ratings could go down if debt/EBITDA by year-end 2014
materially exceeds 7.5 times or if the operating environment in
Las Vegas shows signs of a sustained drop in gaming revenues or
visitation. Ratings could be upgraded if it appears that CERP can
achieve and maintain debt/EBITDA below 5.5 times and maintain a
good liquidity profile.

Upon closing of the restructuring transactions, CERP's proposed
bank facilities and notes will be secured by the properties that
secure the existing commercial mortgage-backed securities: Paris
Las Vegas, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah's Las Vegas, and Rio All-
Suite Hotel and Casino, Harrah's Laughlin, Harrah's Atlantic City
and Project Linq. These properties are managed by Caesars
Entertainment Operating Company. However, CERP's bank facilities
and notes will not be guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment Company
or Caesars Entertainment Operating Company.

Rating Rationale: Caesars Entertainment Operating Company ("CEOC")

CEOC's Caa2 CFR reflects the company's very high leverage --
adjusted debt/EBITDA is about 16.5 times -- and inability to cover
cash interest and maintenance capital spending needs; EBITDA less
capital expenditures is about 0.4 times. Also considered is
Moody's view that CEOC's capital structure is not sustainable in
its current form given significant leverage and weak liquidity.
Available cash estimated at $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2013 plus
proceeds from the pending sale of Planet Hollywood and land in
Macau will be sufficient to cover operating losses through 2014.
However, in the absence of a significant increase in earnings and
continued access to the capital markets to refinance debt
maturities of approximately $619 million in 2015, Moody's believes
there is a substantial risk that CEOC may seek to restructure its
debt within the next two years.

The negative rating outlook reflects Moody's view that EBITDA will
not rebound sufficiently to have a material impact on the CEOC's
leverage or weak liquidity. Ratings could be downgraded if pending
asset sales do not occur or the company's liquidity position
deteriorates for any reason. Upward rating momentum is not
anticipated given the need to fund operating losses.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: S&P Assigns 'CCC+' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Caesars Entertainment
Resort Properties LLC (CERP) its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating.
The outlook is negative.  CERP is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Caesars Entertainent Corp. (CEC).

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's proposed
$3.27 billion senior secured credit facility (consisting of a
$269.5 million revolver due 2018 and a $3 billion term loan due
2020) its 'B' issue-level rating (two notches above the corporate
credit rating), with a recovery rating of '1', indicating its
expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery for lenders in
the event of a payment default.

S&P also assigned the company's proposed $500 million first-
priority senior secured notes due 2020 its 'B' issue-level rating
(two notches above the corporate credit rating), with a recovery
rating of '1'.

In addition, S&P assigned the company's proposed $1.35 billion
second-priority senior secured notes due 2021 its 'CCC+' issue-
level rating (at the same level as the corporate credit rating),
with a recovery rating of '4', indicating its expectation for
average (30%-50%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.

The ratings remain subject to S&P's receipt and review of final
documentation.

Caesars plans to use the proceeds from these debt issuances to
refinance its existing CMBS debt and Octavius/Linq debt.  S&P
would plan to withdraw its ratings on Caesars Linq and Caesars
Octavius following the debt repayment.

S&P's 'CCC+' corporate credit rating on Caesars reflects its
assessment of the company's financial risk profile as "highly
leveraged" and its business risk profile as "satisfactory."  The
rating is much more heavily weighted toward S&P's financial risk
profile assessment because it believes Caesars' capital structure
is unsustainable in the long term and the company is reliant upon
favorable business, economic, and financial conditions in order to
meet its financial commitments.  S&P estimates that Caesars needs
to grow by at least 30% in aggregate over the next few years in
order to fully cover S&P's estimate of interest expense and
maintenance capital spending.


CASA CASUARINA: Rothstein Estate Gets Revenue From Auction
----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that almost $700,000 of the $41.5 million sale
price of Gianni Versace's former South Beach mansion will go
toward the estate of Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein's law firm, an
attorney for the mansion's owner told a Florida bankruptcy court
on Sept. 18.

According to the report, Lawrence Pecan of Marshall Socarras Grant
PL told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Laurel M. Isicoff that the estate of
Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA would receive $692,109 of the
auction proceeds under a deal hammered out in January settling a
$4.92 million secured claim asserted by the law firm's trustee.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the sale
of the former Versace Mansion on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach,
Florida must be approved by two different bankruptcy judges.

The current owner, Casa Casuarina, filed for Chapter 11 protection
in July in Miami.  Until his Ponzi scheme fell apart in 2009,
Scott Rothstein had controlled the company that owned the
property.  Herbert Stettin is the Chapter 11 trustee for
Rothstein's law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA, which has been
in Chapter 11 liquidation since November 2009.

Before Casa Casuarina filed bankruptcy, Mr. Stettin had reached
agreement to settle his claim to partial ownership.  The
settlement is set for approval on Sept. 11 by the judge overseeing
the firm's bankruptcy and on Sept. 18 by the judge in the
property's bankruptcy.

The settlement calls for Stettin to receive 9.99 percent of net
sale proceeds, or 49.99 percent if he exercises an option.  The
auction of the property will take place on Sept. 17.  The hearing
for approval of sale will occur Sept. 18.

                       About Casa Casuarina

2013.  Peter Loftin signed the petition as manager.  Judge Laurel
M. Isicoff presides over the case.  The Debtor estimated assets of
at least $50 million and debts of at lease $10 million.  Joe M.
Grant, Esq., at Marshall Socarras Grant, P.L., serves as the

                    About Rothstein Rosenfeldt

Scott Rothstein, co-founder of law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler
PA -- http://www.rra-law.com/-- was suspected of running a
$1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.  U.S. authorities claimed in a civil
forfeiture lawsuit filed Nov. 9, 2009, that Mr. Rothstein, the
firm's former chief executive officer, sold investments in non-
existent legal settlements.  Mr. Rothstein pleaded guilty to five
counts of conspiracy and wire fraud on Jan. 27, 2010.

Creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler signed a petition sending
the Florida law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who says she
lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran Development,
Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and trade
creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm, which
said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors alleged being owed money
invested in lawsuit settlements.

Herbert M. Stettin, the state-court appointed receiver for
Rothstein Rosenfeldt, was officially carried over as the
Chapter 11 trustee in the involuntary bankruptcy case.

On June 10, 2010, Mr. Rothstein was sentenced to 50 years in
prison.

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
case is represented by Michael Goldberg, Esq., at Akerman
Senterfitt.

RRA won approval of an amended liquidating Chapter 11 plan
pursuant to the Court's July 17, 2013 confirmation order.  The
revised plan, filed in May, is centered around a $72.4 million
settlement payment from TD Bank NA.


CASH STORE: Assistive Financial Commences Legal Action
------------------------------------------------------
The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. on Sept. 19 disclosed that
Assistive Financial Corp. has commenced an action in the Court of
Queens's Bench of Alberta against Cash Store Financial and certain
of its officers and affiliates, including The Cash Store Australia
Holdings Inc. and RTF Financial Holdings Inc., seeking repayment
of certain funds advanced for the Affiliates by Assistive.  The
claim seeks, among other things, damages equivalent to
$110,000,000, together with interest thereon at the rate of 17.5%
per year.

Cash Store Financial believes the action is wholly without merit
and intends to vigorously defend itself.  The Company maintains
that it is not in default of any contractual obligations to
Assistive and that this development is not expected to materially
impact the financial position or results of operations of Cash
Store Financial.

Assistive is a privately-held third-party lender that provides
advances to the Company's customers.  Following written
notification from Assistive on September 3, 2013, Cash Store
Financial suspended brokering advances to consumers on behalf of
Assistive.  Cash Store Financial has continued to broker payday
loans and lines of credit on behalf of its other third-party
lenders.  As of September 3, 2013, Assistive had made available
less than 2% of total consumer funding provided by all of the
Company's third-party lenders.

The Company will provide further updates to this matter as
material developments occur.

As reported in the Feb. 8, 2013 edition of the TCR, Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issuer credit rating on Cash
Store Financial (CSF) to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The outlook is
negative.

"The downgrades follow a proposal by the payday loan registrar in
Ontario to revoke CSF's payday lending licenses and CSF's
announcement that it has discontinued its payday loan product in
the region," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Igor Koyfman.
The company's businesses in Ontario, which account for
approximately one-third of its store count, will begin offering a
new line of credit product to its customers.  S&P believes this is
to offset the loss of its payday lending product; however, this is
a relatively new product, and S&P believes that it will be
challenging for the company to replace its lost earnings from the
payday loan product.  S&P also believes that the registrar's
proposal could lead to similar actions in other territories," the
Company said.

As reported by the TCR on May 22, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded the Corporate Family Rating and senior unsecured debt
rating of Cash Store Financial Services to Caa1 from B3 and
assigned a negative outlook.  According to Moody's, CSFS remains
unprofitable on both the pretax and net income lines and prospects
for return to profitability are unclear.


CELL THERAPEUTICS: Obtains $14.8-Mil. From Securities Offering
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cell Therapeutics, Inc., entered into Securities Purchase
Agreements with Quogue Capital LLC and an affiliate of Perceptive
Advisors LLC.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company
agreed to issue to the Purchasers in a registered direct offering
an aggregate of 15,000 shares of the Company's Series 18 Preferred
Stock, no par value per share.  No underwriter or placement agent
participated in the Offering.  The net proceeds from the Offering,
after deducting estimated offering expenses, are expected to be
approximately $14.8 million.

Each share of Series 18 Preferred Stock has a stated value of
$1,000 per share and is convertible, in certain circumstances, at
the option of the holder at any time prior to the automatic
conversion of those shares.  The Series 18 Preferred Stock is
convertible into a total of 15,000,000 shares of registered common
stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share of common stock.
Shares of the Series 18 Preferred Stock will receive dividends in
the same amount as any dividends declared and paid on shares of
common stock, but would be entitled to a liquidation preference
over the common stock in certain liquidation events.  The Series
18 Preferred Stock will have no voting rights on general corporate
matters.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company's shelf registration
statement on Form S-3, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Oct. 25, 2011, which became effective on Nov. 1,
2011, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement filed with the
SEC on Sept. 13, 2013.

As of Sept. 18, 2013, 15,000 shares of Series 18 Preferred Stock
have been converted into an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of
Common Stock.  The Company closed the Offering on Sept. 18, 2013.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering to
continue Phase 3 trials of pacritinib and to support the
commercialization of PIXUVRI in Europe as well as for general
corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, funding
research and development, preclinical and clinical trials, the
preparation and filing of new drug applications and general
working capital.

On Sept. 17, 2013, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary
of State of the State of Washington, establishing the Series 18
Preferred Stock.  Each share of Series 18 Preferred Stock is
entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the initial stated
value of such holder's Series 18 Preferred Stock of $1,000 per
share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends and any other
payments that may be due on such shares, before any distribution
of assets may be made to holders of capital stock ranking junior
to the Series 18 Preferred Stock.  The Series 18 Preferred Stock
is not entitled to dividends except to share in any dividends
actually paid on the common stock or any pari passu or junior
securities.  The Series 18 Preferred Stock will have no voting
rights, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Company's
articles of incorporation or as otherwise required by law.
However, so long as at least 20 percent of the aggregate
originally issued shares of Series 18 Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the Company cannot: amend its Amended Articles,
Second Amended and Restated Bylaws or other charter documents in
each case so as to materially, specifically and adversely affect
the rights of the Series 18 Preferred Stock; repay, repurchase or
offer to repay or repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of
common stock, common stock equivalents or junior securities,
except in limited circumstances; authorize or create any class of
senior preferred stock; or enter into any agreement or
understanding with respect to any of the foregoing, in each case
without the affirmative written consent of holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Series 18 Preferred Stock.

                      About Cell Therapeutics

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

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $49.23 million in total
assets, $36.12 million in total liabilities $13.46 million in
common stock purchase warrants and a $357,000 total shareholders'
deficit.

                           Going Concern

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm
included an explanatory paragraph in its reports on the Company's
consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended
Dec. 31, 2007, through Dec. 31, 2011, regarding their substantial
doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm removed this going concern explanatory paragraph in its
report on the Company's Dec. 31, 2012, consolidated financial
statements, the Company expects to continue to need to raise
additional financing to fund its operations and satisfy
obligations as they become due.

"The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph in future
years may negatively impact the trading price of our common stock
and make it more difficult, time consuming or expensive to obtain
necessary financing, and we cannot guarantee that we will not
receive such an explanatory paragraph in the future," the Company
said in the regulatory filing.

The Company added that it may not be able to maintain its listings
on The NASDAQ Capital Market and the Mercato Telematico Azionario
stock market in Italy, or the MTA, or trading on these exchanges
may otherwise be halted or suspended, which may make it more
difficult for investors to sell shares of the Company's common
stock.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"We have acquired or licensed intellectual property from third
parties, including patent applications relating to intellectual
property for PIXUVRI, pacritinib, tosedostat, and brostallicin.
We have also licensed the intellectual property for our drug
delivery technology relating to Opaxio which uses polymers that
are linked to drugs, known as polymer-drug conjugates.  Some of
our product development programs depend on our ability to maintain
rights under these licenses.  Each licensor has the power to
terminate its agreement with us if we fail to meet our obligations
under these licenses.  We may not be able to meet our obligations
under these licenses.  If we default under any license agreement,
we may lose our right to market and sell any products based on the
licensed technology and may be forced to cease operations,
liquidate our assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.
Bankruptcy may result in the termination of agreements pursuant to
which we license certain intellectual property rights, including
the rights to PIXUVRI, Opaxio, tosedostat, and brostallicin," the
Company said in its quarterly report for the period ended June 30,
2013.

CENGAGE LEARNING: Wells Fargo, Committee Balk at Mediator
---------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors of Cengage Learning, Inc., et al., objects
to the Debtors' motion for the entry of an order approving the
appointment of a mediator and scheduling mediation in connection
with the confirmation of the Debtors' Plan, and scheduling certain
hearing dates and deadlines in connection with the confirmation of
the Debtors' Plan.

The Committee argues, "Based on this proposal, it appears the
Debtors' primary objective is to force these issues to mediation
without implementing a workable process.  Instead, the Debtors'
goal should be to have a meaningful mediation process in order to
facilitate success.  The Committee supports a properly structured
and fair mediation process designed and timed to provide the best
prospects for success and obtaining consensual resolutions.  The
Debtors' proposed path, however, will not lead there."  A full-
text copy of the Committee's opposition to the proposal of the
Debtors is available at:

         http://bankrupt.com/misc/cengagelearning.doc445.pdf

Wells Fargo, solely in its capacity as trustee under the indenture
for notes issued by Cengage Learning, Inc., et al., says:

   1. At this time, mediation is premature and should be deferred
at least until sufficient information is available to enable the
parties to frame, analyze and formulate positions of the various
issues in a meaningful way.

   2. The schedules proposed by the Debtors for litigating
confirmation and other critically important issues violate the
bankruptcy rules and are, in any event, entirely unworkable from a
practical perspective.

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 11, 2013, Cengage Learning, in
seeking a mediator, said, "While progress is being made, the
Debtors believe that further progress requires that a clear and
definitive process be established for the Debtors and all parties
in interest to address the critical issues in these Chapter 11
cases.  And this needs to be done in an efficient and expeditious
manner.  The Debtors' position is and has been clear in these
Chapter 11 cases: the Debtors need to emerge from bankruptcy
expeditiously, while preserving and protecting the rights of all
parties in interest.  In the Committee's Adjournment Motion, the
Committee requested that the hearing on the Disclosure Statement
occur no earlier than Oct. 25, 2013, and that the confirmation
hearing be scheduled no earlier than Dec. 10, 2013.  This
timeframe achieves the Debtors' need of emerging from Chapter 11
by year end, while assuring that all parties' rights are preserved
and protected.  However, the Debtors firmly believe that this can
only be accomplished if a definitive schedule is set and a
mediator is appointed.  The Debtors do not believe the issues in
this case are particularly unique or complicated and that the
parties should be able to work through the outstanding issues on
their proposed timeline, especially with the assistance of a
mediator."

CONVERGEX HOLDINGS: Moody's Withdraws B3 CFR After Full Repayment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the B3 Corporate Family
Rating of ConvergEx Holdings, LLC.

The rating is being withdrawn because the firm no longer has any
rated debt outstanding.

The last rating action on ConvergEx took place on April 4, 2013,
when Moody's downgraded the Corporate Family Rating to B3 and
withdrew the ratings on the First Lien Term Loan (B2) and Second
Lien Term Loan (B3) after those obligations were fully repaid.
Following the downgrade, the rating outlook was stable.


CROWN TELECOM: Brazilian Court Issues Judgment Against Webtech
--------------------------------------------------------------
Webtech Wireless Inc., a provider of vehicle fleet location-based
services and telematics technology, on Sept. 20 disclosed that a
judgment was issued by a lower Brazilian Court in a lawsuit
originally brought in 2008 by a former distributor, Crown Telecom.
In the decision, the lower court found the Company liable for
damages to Crown for what the Court found to be improper
interference with Crown's contractual relations.  The amount of
the damages has not been determined.  Crown has sought damages in
the amount of R$108,606,173 (approximately CDN$50 million).

A previous decision of the lower court rendered in 2008 against
the Company was overturned by the Minas Gerais State Court of
Appeal in July, 2009 and the matter was sent back to the lower
court.  In the interim Crown entered bankruptcy proceedings and
until recently the Company was not aware that the lower court was
continuing to consider the case and intending to render judgment.

Prior to the launch of this lawsuit by Crown, the Company had
entered into certain agreements with Crown under which Crown
granted the Company an irrevocable and complete release from any
litigation action by Crown against the Company.  The Company
defended the contractual interference claim on the merits and on
the basis of this release provided by Crown.  The lower court
decision does not refer to the release the Company received from
Crown.  The Company is represented in the lawsuit by Brazilian
legal counsel and the Company believed and continues to believe
that the lawsuit is without merit and will take immediate steps to
appeal and set aside the judgment.

DETROIT, MI: Residents to Voice Pension Fears to Bankruptcy Judge
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Dolan, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
after weeks of listening to lawyers, the judge in the nation's
largest municipal bankruptcy plans to spend Sept. 19 hearing from
another group: the worried residents of this financially stricken
city.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes
granted an unusual audience to 93 people, most of them retired
city workers who fear the bankruptcy will mean Detroit won't pay
their pensions in full, but some with other grievances. They are
seeking to block the city's bid for Chapter 9 protection, which
would allow it to restructure an estimated $18 billion in
liabilities.

Among those expected to address the judge is Cynthia Blair, a 59-
year-old widow of a police sergeant concerned about potential cuts
to her husband's pension, the report related.  She has been out of
work after recovering from injuries from a traffic accident. In a
letter to the judge, she protested the power of the city's
unelected emergency manager who steered Detroit into bankruptcy
court.

When one of her daughters questioned whether appearing in court
would make a difference, "I told her I'm not going to take this
lying down," Ms. Blair said in an interview, the report related.

Ms. Blair said she would remind the judge that the city's police
and firefighters don't receive Social Security payments in
retirement, adding to worries over any cuts to the $41,000-a-year
pension, which she said she relies on to support herself and her
two daughters, the report further related.

DETROIT, MI: May Use Water Dept. Funds to Pay Pension Debts
-----------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Lichterman, writing for Reuters, reported that Detroit is
considering tapping into some of the $1.2 billion in water and
sewer revenue earmarked for repairs and instead apply it to city
pension or healthcare costs, the city's emergency manager has said
in a court proceeding.

"I didn't say we would take any capital; I said we will -- we
would -- consider it," Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr said in
response to a line of questioning in a sworn deposition on Sept.
17, the report related.

According to the report, Orr would not offer details about any
planned alternative uses for funds currently slated for upgrades
to the water and sewage department. But he acknowledged there
likely are restrictions on the use of water and sewer revenues
based on promises Detroit made when selling more than $5 billion
in water and sewer revenue bonds.

A 516-page transcript of Orr's testimony was included in a filing
with the bankruptcy court on Sept. 18.

The report said Orr's spokesman, Bill Nowling, declined to comment
on the testimony.

pressed a Michigan bankruptcy court on Sept. 18 to compel Detroit
Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to answer questions regarding his

EDGEN GROUP: S&P Revises Outlook to Negative & Affirms 'B+' CCR
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
Baton Rouge, La.-based Edgen Group Inc. to negative from stable.
At the same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on Edgen, including the
'B+' corporate credit rating.

The outlook revision reflects S&P's view that operating
performance for Edgen will continue to be pressured by lower
prices in its Energy and Infrastructure (E&I) and Oil Country
Tubular Goods (OCTG) segments, as well as sales volume declines in
the midstream and upstream end markets in the E&I segment.  In the
E&I segment, backlogs have decreased as customers have continued
to absorb materials purchased in 2012 for projects currently being
completed.  In the OCTG segment, prices have been constrained by a
decline in rig counts as well as increased imports and excess mill
capacity.  S&P do not currently expect a material change in
operating conditions for the remainder of 2013.

"The 'B+' corporate credit rating on Edgen reflects what we view
as the company's 'weak' business risk profile and 'aggressive'
financial risk profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Megan Johnston.

The negative rating outlook reflects S&P's view that credit
measures will continue to short of its expectations for the
ratings due to weak pricing in Edgen's E&I and OCTG segments.
While we expect measures to improve in 2014 as Edgen's end markets
gradually improve, the negative outlook highlights the risk that
energy markets will continue to be weak next year, leading to
leverage sustained above 5x.  S&P currently expects debt to EBITDA
of about 5x in 2013 and and FFO to debt of 10% in 2013, which it
considers to be weak for the 'B+' corporate credit rating and
aggressive financial risk profile.

S&P could lower the ratings if it do not see pricing begin to
improve in Edgen's E&I and OCTG segments, or volumes improve in
its E&I midstream and upstream end markets, due to ongoing
weakness in the energy sector, such that leverage continues to
exceed 5x.  S&P would also consider lowering the rating if Edgen
were to pursue debt-financed shareholder-friendly actions, such as
dividends or share buybacks.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if it begins to see pricing
improve in Edgen's end markets, or if the company significantly
reduces debt, such that adjusted leverage falls to and is
sustained between 4x and 5x.


EL CENTRO MOTORS: Oct. 7 Hearing on Final Decree Closing Case
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California
will convene a hearing on Oct. 7, 2013, at 3:30 p.m., to consider
El Centro Motors' motion for a final decree closing its Chapter 11
case effective as of Sept. 30, 2013.

Martin J. Brill, Esq., at Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill
L.L.P., on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor, explained that
pursuant to the Plan, among other things:

   -- the CVB refinanced loan has closed, the New Value Investment
      has been made, and the Nesselhauf Settlement Payment has
      been made;

   -- the Reorganized Debtor has received the Plan Funds, and
      has made the initial distribution; and

   -- the Plan has taken effect and the Reorganized Debtor
      has resolved any outstanding claim disputes.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, Judge Peter Bowie
confirmed on June 19, 2013, the Second Amended Reorganization Plan
of the Debtor after finding that the Plan satisfied the
confirmation requirements under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

The Modified Plan discloses that on May 3, 2013, the Debtor,
Dealer Computer Services, Inc., and Community Valley Bank, among
other parties, conducted a mediation of their disputes related to
the Debtor's Plan.  The mediation resulted in a settlement of
disputes, which results in modifications to the treatment of Class
4 and 5 claims under the Plan.

                      About El Centro Motors

El Centro Motors, dba Mighty Auto Parts, operates a Ford-Lincoln
automobile dealership in El Centro, California.  It filed a
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D. Cal. Case No. 12-03860) on
March 21, 2012, estimating $10 million to $50 million in assets
and debts.  Chief Judge Peter W. Bowie presides over the case.

The prior owner of the dealership operated the business since
1932.  The business is presently owned by Dennis Nesselhauf and
Robert Valdes.

The Debtor claims that its assets, which include the property
constituting the dealership in El Centro, and new and used
vehicles, have a value of $14 million.  The Debtor owes Ford Motor
Credit Company $4.3 million on a term-loan secured by a first
priority deed of trust against the El Centro property, 380,000 on
a revolving credit line, and $6 million on a flooring line of
credit used to purchase vehicle inventory.  The Debtor also owes
$1.03 million to Community Valley Bank, which loan is secured by a
second priority deed of trust against the property.  In addition
to $3.95 million arbitration award owed to Dealer Computer
Systems, Inc., the Debtor owes $3 million in unsecured debt.

According to a court filing, the dealership generally operated at
a profit, until it suffered the same economic setbacks suffered by
dealerships across the country.  In 2007, the Debtor suffered an
$806,000 loss; in 2008, it had a $4.5 million loss, and in 2009,
it suffered a $957,000 loss.

Dealer Computer Services, which provided the dealer management
system, obtained in November 2001, an arbitration award in the
amount of $3.95 million, following a breach of contract lawsuit it
filed against the Debtor.  DCS has commenced collection efforts
attempting to levy the Debtor's bank accounts and place liens on
its assets.

The Debtor filed for bankruptcy to preserve and maximize the
Debtor's estate for the benefit of creditors, to provide the
Debtor a reprieve from highly disruptive and financially
detrimental collection efforts, and to provide the Debtor an
opportunity to reorganize its financial affairs in as efficient a
manner as possible.

The Debtor disclosed at least $8,332,571 in total assets and
$19,624,057 liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL: Agrees to Sell $22.5-Mil. Crude Oil
------------------------------------------------------------
Endeavour International Corporation, on Sept. 13, 2013, entered
into a forward sale agreement with one of its established
purchasers for a payment of approximately $22.5 million, in return
for a specified volume of crude oil in excess of 200,000 barrels
to be delivered over a six month delivery period from its UK North
Sea production.

                  About Endeavour International

Houston-based Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END)
(LSE: ENDV) is an oil and gas exploration and production company
focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of energy
reserves in the North Sea and the United States.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss
of $126.22 million, as compared with a net loss of $130.99 million
during the prior year.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.54
billion in total assets, $1.41 billion in total liabilities,
$43.70 million in series C convertible preferred stock and $85.12
million in stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 5, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Endeavour International Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating to Caa3 from Caa1.  Endeavour's Caa3 CFR reflects its weak
liquidity, small production and proved reserve scale, geographic
concentration and the uncertainties regarding its future
performance given the inherent execution risks related to its
offshore North Sea operations for a company of its size.

In the Feb. 22, 2013, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Houston,
Texas-based Endeavour International Corp. (Endeavour) to 'CCC+'
from 'B-'.  The rating action reflects S&P's expectation that
Endeavour could have insufficient liquidity to meet its needs due
to the delay in production from its Rochelle development.


ENERGY FUTURE: Said to Have Signed Confidentiality Deal
-------------------------------------------------------
Seeking Alpha reported Sunday that Energy Future Holdings'
creditors have reportedly signed confidentiality agreements to
review the Texas power utility's non-public financial information,
an important step in what is expected become one of the largest
ever bankruptcy filings.  The report says Energy Future, formerly
known as TXU Corp., is attempting to reach a prepackaged
bankruptcy deal with creditors to avoid staying in Chapter 11 for
too long.  A major deadline is November 11, when Energy Future is
due to pay $270 million to junior creditors.

          About Energy Future Holdings, fka TXU Corp.

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

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

                Restructuring Talks With Creditors

In April 2013, Energy Future Holdings Corp., Energy Future
Competitive Holdings Company, Texas Competitive Electric Holdings
Company LLC, and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC
confirmed in a regulatory filing that they are in restructuring
talks with certain unaffiliated holders of first lien senior
secured claims concerning the Companies' capital structure.

The Companies expect to continue to explore all available
restructuring alternatives to facilitate the creation of
sustainable capital structures for the Companies and to otherwise
attempt to address the Creditors' concerns with the Restructuring
Proposal and Sponsor Proposal.

The Companies have retained Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Evercore
Partners to advise the Companies with respect to the potential
changes to the Companies' capital structure and to assist in the
evaluation and implementation of other potential restructuring
options.

The Creditors have retained Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &
Garrison LLP and Millstein & Co., L.P. to advise the Creditors and
to assist in the Creditors' evaluation of potential restructuring
options involving the Companies.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, people familiar with
the matter said Apollo Global Management LLC, Oaktree Capital
Management, Centerbridge Partners and GSO Capital Partners, the
credit arm of buyout firm Blackstone Group LP, all hold large
chunks of Energy Future Holdings' senior debt.  Many of these
firms belong to a group being advised by Jim Millstein, a
restructuring expert who helped the U.S. government revamp
American International Group Inc.

According to the Journal, people familiar with Apollo's thinking
said Apollo recently enlisted investment bank Moelis & Co. for
additional advice to ensure it gets as much attention as possible
on the case given its large debt holdings.

                           *     *     *

In the Feb. 1, 2013, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings lowered
the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) of Energy Future Holdings Corp
(EFH) and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (EFIH) to
'Restricted Default' (RD) from 'CCC' on the conclusion of the debt
exchange and removed the Rating Watch Negative.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it raised its corporate credit ratings on EFH, EFIH,
TCEH, and Energy Future Competitive Holdings Co. (EFCH) to 'CCC'
from 'D' following the completion of several debt exchanges, each
of which S&P considers distressed.

In February 2013, Moody's Investors Service withdraw Energy
Future Holdings Corp.'s Caa3 Corporate Family Rating, Caa3-PD
Probability of Default Rating, SGL-4 Speculative Grade Liquidity
Rating and developing rating outlook.  At the same time, Moody's
assigned a Ca CFR to Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company
and a B3 CFR to Energy Future Intermediate Holdings Company LLC.
Both EFCH and EFIH are intermediate subsidiary holding companies
wholly-owned by EFH. EFCH's rating outlook is negative. EFIH's
rating outlook is negative.

"We see different default probabilities between EFCH and EFIH,"
said Jim Hempstead, senior vice president. "We believe EFCH has a
high likelihood of default over the next 6 to 12 months, because
it is projected to run out of cash in early 2014. EFIH has a much
lower likelihood of default owing to the credit separateness that
EFH is creating between EFIH and Texas Competitive Electric
Holdings Company LLC along with EFIH's reliance on stable cash
flows from its regulated transmission and distribution utility,
Oncor Electric Delivery Company."


EXCEL MARITIME: Robertson Objects to Disclosure Statement
---------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that Robertson Maritime Investors filed
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court an objection to Excel Maritime
Carriers' Disclosure Statement.

The objection explains, "Robertson initially objected to Excel's
disclosure statement circulated prebankruptcy, noting a host of
undisclosed risks to unsecured creditors. Some of those
infirmities remain in the Disclosure Statement filed July 16. The
Debtors' circumstances have also changed. Since Excel originally
proposed its insider purchaser of a plummeting company, the Baltic
Dry Index (rates charged by companies like Excel) has doubled. The
original financial projections in the Disclosure Statement are now
wildly incorrect. Once updated to current market rates, the
projections would not justify the insider-sale without a market
test contemplated under the Plan. The Disclosure Statement
provides inadequate information about contemplated insider
transactions. Information relating to the compensation of insiders
remains missing. The information about the risks of the proposed
Plan is still inadequate. The Disclosure Statement still neglects
to accurately describe how insiders of Excel caused Christine
Shipco to 'go rogue', leaving Robertson with claims against
officers and directors and their enablers. The Plan described is
also facially unconfirmable because: It is a new value plan and
there has been no market test for the retention of equity. The
secured lenders receive more than permitted after making a Section
1111(b) election. The Plan illegally forces third parties to
release claims against non-debtors. Finally, the Debtors, who
promised to not 'hide the ball', have indeed hidden the ball and
failed to comply with their discovery obligations. The Disclosure
Statement should not be approved unless or until the Debtors fully
comply with their discovery obligations so parties can critically
analyze the data set forth in the Disclosure Statement."

FIRST STATE BANCORP: Trustee's Suit Survives FDIC's Dismissal Bid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert H. Jacobvitz tossed the Motion to Dismiss
Count II filed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as
receiver for First Community Bank, in the lawsuit captioned as,
LINDA S. BLOOM, as Chapter 7 Trustee For First State
Bancorporation, Plaintiff, v. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION, as receiver for First Community Bank, Defendant, Adv.
Proc. No. 13-1033 (Bankr. D. N.M.).

FDIC-R filed a proof of claim in the Debtor's bankruptcy case
asserting an unsecured priority claim of $63,821,000 based on
FDIC-R's contention that the Debtor breached its capital
maintenance guaranty issued in connection with the Capital
Restoration Plan.  The Chapter 7 Trustee filed the adversary
proceeding on April 23, 2013, objecting to FDIC-R's Capital
Maintenance Claim and seeking to avoid First State's obligations
under the alleged capital maintenance guaranty as a fraudulent
transfer.  Count I of the Complaint objects to FDIC-R's Capital
Maintenance Claim on five different theories.  Count II of the
Complaint consists of the Trustee's fraudulent transfer claim.

FDIC-R asserts that the jurisdictional bar found in 12 U.S.C. Sec.
1821(d)(13)(D) of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989, 12 U.S.C. Sec.1821 et seq., applies to
Plaintiff's claim to avoid First State Bancorporation's
obligations under an alleged capital maintenance guaranty as a
fraudulent transfer under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 548. FDIC-R argues
further that FIRREA's statutory framework for determining the
amount of the alleged capital maintenance guaranty conclusively
establishes reasonably equivalent value for purposes of defeating
the Chapter 7 Trustee's fraudulent transfer claim.

Judge Jacobvitz said the jurisdictional bar found in 28 U.S.C.
Sec. 1821(d)(13)(D) does not divest the Bankruptcy Court of
subject matter jurisdiction over the Trustee's fraudulent transfer
claim raised in Count II of the Complaint for Avoidance of
Fraudulent Conveyance and Objection to Claim No. 9-2.  Count II
also survives FDIC-R's motion to dismiss for failure to state a
claim.

FOOTHILL/EASTERN TRANSPO: Fitch Withdraws 'BB' 2nd Bond Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed the 'BBB-' rating for Foothill/Eastern
Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA, or the agency), CA's
approximately $2.3 billion in outstanding revenue bonds series
1999 and 1995A on Rating Watch Negative. Fitch expects to resolve
the Negative Watch within three to six months.

Fitch has also withdrawn the 'BBB-' and 'BB' expected ratings
assigned on June 14, 2013 to the proposed issuance of the second
senior and junior lien restructuring bonds, since the bonds have
not yet been sold.

The Negative Watch reflects Fitch's concern that F/ETCA may not be
able to successfully execute its planned restructuring of
outstanding debt in the next three to six months and, therefore,
may be unable to improve its financial flexibility. The proposed
restructuring is dependent on the extension of the California
Department of Transportation's (Caltrans; operator of the toll
road) cooperative agreement and is also highly sensitive to
interest rates. Although market rates appear to be currently
moving in a favorable direction, it is not clear that rates will
fall to a level that makes the restructuring economically viable.

The restructuring requires F/ETCA and Caltrans to agree to a
revised cooperative agreement. Fitch understands that it has not
yet been possible for the two agencies to reach an agreement. In
Fitch's view, the proposed 13-year extension of the agreement is
critical to successful execution of the transaction.

In the absence of a meaningful restructuring, it is Fitch's view
that the financial profile of the existing debt is not consistent
with investment grade. In such a scenario, Fitch would likely
downgrade the current 'BBB-' rating to 'BB+'.

Conversely, if the agency is able to execute this, or a similar,
transaction that has the effect of improving financial
flexibility, Fitch believes an investment grade rating, broadly in
line with the expected ratings previously assigned, should be
attainable.

Key Rating Drivers

-- Limited Traffic Profile: The Foothill/Eastern Transportation
Corridor (F/ETC or the facility) serves as a highway connection
for commuters in Orange and Riverside Counties. Traffic has grown
only marginally over the last decade due to seven, mostly above
inflationary, toll increases since fiscal 2000 (ended June 30).
Future growth potential is limited in part by the narrow corridor
in which development can take place. Revenue Risk Volume:
Midrange.

-- Price Sensitive Commuter Traffic: F/ETCA has limited economic
rate-making flexibility as current toll rates are close to the
revenue maximization point. The average toll rate is higher than
peers at more than 30 cents per mile. It is Fitch's view that
greater than inflationary increases may be required over time. A
history of pro-active decisions by management to raise rates has
historically been a credit strength, although it impacts the
agency's rate-making flexibility going forward. Revenue Risk
Price: Weaker.

-- Fully Amortizing, Back Loaded Debt: Without a restructuring,
the debt service profile steadily increases to maximum annual debt
service (MADS) of $298 million at final maturity in fiscal 2040.
The agency's MADS equivalent debt service reserve is projected to
remain healthy at $298 million in fiscal 2013, providing some
mitigation against the sharply escalating debt service profile.
Debt Structure Risk: Weaker.

-- Weak Financial Flexibility: Leverage is high at approximately
18x. F/ETCA is dependent on continued toll rate increases and
traffic and revenue growth throughout the life of the debt to
maintain coverage levels at or above 1.30x. In fiscal 2013, the
debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) was 1.37x utilizing $13.5
million of the EDF and 1.17x without the assistance. The Fitch
base case DSCR indicates a minimum of 0.93x in fiscal 2022 and an
average of 0.99x through 2040 without the use of the EDF. The
agency's overall liquidity totaling nearly $450 million provides
considerable cushion for periods of underperformance. Debt Service
Risk: Weaker.

-- Manageable Approved Capital Program: The F/ETC corridor is less
than 15 years old and does not currently have any material state
of good repair needs. The agency's fiscal 2013-2014 capital
improvement program (CIP) is small at $47 million. A large portion
of the CIP has not received the necessary environmental permits or
record of decisions to proceed. The State of California's
obligation to maintain the physical assets and a covenant to
budget for capital expenditures annually provides some protection.
Infrastructure Development/Renewal Risk: Stronger.

Security

The bonds are secured by a pledge of net revenues and certain
other pledged revenues such as development impact fees (DIF).
F/ETCA has the right to withdraw up to $5 million DIFs to be used
for any lawful purpose.

Credit Update

F/ETCA's DSCR declined to 1.17x in fiscal 2013 from 1.35x in
fiscal 2009 despite several toll increases. Fitch expects coverage
levels to erode significantly further as debt service rises nearly
70% over the next decade. In Fitch's view, F/ETC has limited
traffic growth potential and pricing power is weak.

Traffic on F/ETC has fluctuated with the economy and has reacted
to a series of toll rate increases. Fiscal 2013 traffic of just
55.4 million is 18% below the peak reached in fiscal 2007 of 67.6
million and equals levels last seen in fiscal 2002. The effect of
the recent traffic declines has been more than offset by toll
increases, resulting in growing toll revenues. The TCA has
increased toll rates six times since fiscal 2007 including the
recent increase in fiscal 2014 (July 2013). In 2012, toll revenues
grew by 7%, and 2013 saw continued growth of just over 4% to a new
peak of $111.7 million.

Fitch Ratings has withdrawn the 'BBB-' and 'BB' ratings on the
following F/ETCA issues as these bonds were not sold:

-- Junior lien toll road rfdg rev bonds (current interest bonds)
   ser 2013B;

-- Second senior toll road rfdg rev bonds (callable stepped coupon
   bonds) (taxable) ser 2013C;

-- Second senior toll road rfdg rev bonds (capital appreciation
   bonds) ser 2013A;

-- Second senior toll road rfdg rev bonds (convertible capital
   appreciation bonds) ser 2013A;

-- Second senior toll road rfdg rev bonds (current interest bonds)
   ser 2013A;

-- Second senior toll road rfdg rev bonds (current interest bonds)
   ser 2013D.


FRIENDFINDER NETWORKS: Transaction Support Agreement Filed
----------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported tthat FriendFinder Networks filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for an order, pursuant to sections
105(a) and 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, authorizing the
assumption of a transaction support agreement.

The motion explains, "The TSA is the lynchpin of the Debtors'
consensual restructuring and forms the roadmap to their prompt
exit from these Chapter 11 Cases. Facing the impending maturity of
the First Lien Notes and the Parties' collective realization that
the Debtors were in need of a balance sheet restructuring, the
Debtors, prior to the Petition Date, engaged in lengthy
negotiations with their main creditor constituencies, namely the
Consenting First Lien Noteholders -- the beneficial owners or
advisors or investment managers for the beneficialowners of at
least 80% of the outstanding First Lien Noteholder Claims -- and
the Consenting Second Lien Noteholders -- the beneficial owners or
advisors or investment managers for the beneficial owners of at
least 78% of the outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien
Notes -- over the terms of a restructuring transaction.
Ultimately, the Parties reached agreement on the terms of the TSA,
which is the product of a compromise negotiated at arms-length and
in good faith between the Parties, and envisions an accelerated
chapter 11 process so as to avoid any risk of erosion of the value
of the estates. Indeed, the Parties feared that a free-fall into
bankruptcy would disrupt the expectations of the Debtors' customer
base and hamper the prospects for a successful reorganization. To
avoid that result, the Parties entered into the TSA, because they
believe that it maximizes the opportunity to capture the value of
the Debtors' businesses and position the Debtors for success post-
emergence. The collective goal of the Parties is for the Debtors
to effectuate a financial restructuring through a prompt exit from
these Chapter 11 Cases with virtually no impact on day-to-day
operations. The relief granted at the first day hearing is
critical to achieving that result, as is the assumption of the
TSA."

GATEHOUSE MEDIA: Soliciting Acceptances of Prepackaged Plan

GateHouse Media, Inc., and certain of its subsidiaries commenced

reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code from all
holders of Outstanding Debt.  Pension, trade and all other

GENTIVA HEALTH: S&P Affirms B Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'B'
corporate credit rating on Gentiva Health Services Inc. following
the company's plans to acquire Harden Healthcare and refinance its
credit facility.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned a 'B' issue-level rating to the
company's proposed senior secured credit facility, which will
include a $100 million revolver and an $855 million term loan B.
The recovery rating on this debt is '3', indicating S&P's
expectation for meaningful (50%-70%) recovery of principal in the
event of payment default.

S&P's 'CCC+' issue-level rating on the company's $325 million
senior unsecured notes remains unchanged.  The recovery rating on
this debt is '6', indicating S&P's expectation for negligible
(0%-10%) recovery of principal in the event of a payment default.

"Our rating on Atlanta-based Gentiva Health Services Inc. reflects
the company's "vulnerable" business risk profile.  Pro forma for
Harden, the company will continue to have significant exposure to
government reimbursement, particularly from Medicare home health,
which continues to be under pressure.  The ratings also reflect
the company's "highly leveraged" financial risk profile," said
credit analyst Tahira Wright.  "Pro forma for the Harden
acquisition with our expectation of achieved synergies, we expect
debt leverage will be around 5.2x by the end of 2014.  Following
the acquisition, Gentiva will be a leading provider of home
health, hospice, and community care services serving patients
through approximately 550-plus locations in 40 states."

S&P's stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Gentiva will
continue to manage home health rate cuts in 2013 and 2014 that
include sequestration and will successfully complete the
acquisition of Harden, supporting debt to EBITDA in the 5x to 5.5x
range through the end of 2014.  S&P expects EBITDA growth will
result in ample free operating cash flow, which it expects the
company to use for debt repayment.

S&P could raise the rating if it believes the company will reduce
leverage to a sustained level below 4.5x.  This could be achieved
if the company continues to use most of its free operating cash
flow for debt repayment past 2014.  An upgrade can also occur if
the company is able to improve EBITDA margins by 100 basis points
higher than S&P's base case.  This could follow successful
integration of Harden Healthcare and our confidence that the
company will be able to manage through new Medicare re-based home
health rates in 2014 and beyond.

A downgrade would result from unsuccessful cost mitigation
following further cuts, which would result in sharply contracting
EBITDA, causing covenant cushions to fall below 10%, which would
impair liquidity.


GEO GROUP: S&P Assigns 'B+' Rating to $250MM Sr. Unsecured Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B+'
senior unsecured debt rating and '4' recovery rating to Boca
Raton, Fla.-based The GEO Group Inc.'s proposed $250 million
senior unsecured notes due January 2022.  The '4' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation of average recovery (30% to 50%) for
senior unsecured creditors in the event of a payment default.  S&P
believes GEO will use the net proceeds to refinance its existing
$250 million 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2017, which become
callable at par on Oct. 15, 2013.  S&P estimates GEO will have
about $1.6 billion in on-balance sheet debt (including nonrecourse
debt) after the transaction closes.

All of S&P's existing ratings on GEO, including the 'B+' corporate
credit rating, remain unchanged.  The outlook is stable.

"Our ratings on GEO reflect our view that the business risk
profile will continue to be "fair" and the financial risk profile
will continue to be "highly leveraged."  The company benefits from
high entry barriers in the private correctional industry, yet it
remains vulnerable to the decision-making of a concentrated base
of customers from various levels of the U.S. government.  Ongoing
government budget deficits and potential correctional policy
changes, mostly from a need to reduce government spending, remain
the principal constraining factors in our business risk
assessment.  We forecast credit metrics will remain weak and
financial policy will remain aggressive.  We forecast leverage
will remain near 5x and the company will continue to prioritize
shareholder return over debt reduction," S&P said.

S&P's outlook thresholds for a rating change remain unchanged: It
could lower the ratings if leverage increases to 6x or it could
raise the ratings if leverage decreases to 4x. A 15% EBITDA
decline or a $300 million debt increase could cause leverage to
increase to 6x. A 30% EBITDA increase or a $350 million debt
decrease could cause leverage to decrease to 4x.

For the complete credit rating rationale, please see the research
update on The GEO Group Inc. published March 12, 2013 on
RatingsDirect.

payment received by an employee that is subsequently terminated
will be credited against any severance such employee is entitled
to receive."

GUAM POWER: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Rating on $51MM Revenue Bonds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirms the following ratings on outstanding Guam
Power Authority (GPA) revenue bonds:

-- $545.9 million senior revenue bonds, 2012 series A and 2010
   series A, at 'BBB-';

-- $51.7 million subordinated revenue bonds, 2010 series A, at
   'BB+'.

In addition, Fitch has withdrawn the 'BBB-' rating assigned on
June 3, 2010 to GPA's 2010 series B bonds as the bonds were never
sold.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Security
The outstanding senior revenue bonds are secured by net revenues
of GPA. Outstanding subordinated revenue bonds are limited
obligations of GPA secured by a lien on, and pledge of, net
revenues, subject to the prior pledge of revenues securing the
senior bonds. A default on the subordinated revenue bonds would
not trigger a default on the senior revenue bonds.

Key Rating Drivers
SOLE PROVIDER ISLAND SYSTEM: GPA benefits from its position as the
sole provider of retail electricity to the nearly 160,000
residents of the island of Guam, the westernmost territory of the
U.S. The significant presence of the U.S. Navy, which accounts for
nearly 20% of GPA's total annual revenue, provides stability to
the island's economy and the authority's customer base.

Subject To Rate Regulation: GPA's electric rates are regulated by
the local Public Utility Commission (PUC), which authorizes cost
recovery through both base rates and a levelized energy adjustment
clause (LEAC) for fuel and other related costs. The PUC's
responsiveness to requests for cost recovery in recent years is
viewed positively by Fitch, but delays inherent in both the
regulatory process and the recovery mechanism will continue to
impair liquidity and limit overall financial flexibility.

Weak Financial Profile: Weak operating margins continue to yield
low debt service coverage (DSC) and minimal cash reserves. Fitch-
calculated DSC declined to 0.98x in fiscal 2012 following multiple
years of steady improvement closer to 1.2x. Fitch expects coverage
to rise to a more acceptable 1.4x by fiscal 2015 based on GPA's
current financial forecast.

Fuel Mix and Environmental Challenges: Generation resources on
Guam are 100% fuel oil-based, resulting in high rates and
continued exposure to market price volatility and procurement
risk. Positively, plans to develop the infrastructure needed to
utilize liquefied natural gas (LNG) could, over time, provide a
more diversified fuel mix and help GPA comply with new
environmental standards. However, the cost to do so will likely
stress GPA's financial and leverage metrics and could ultimately
pressure the current ratings.

Fragile Economy: The authority's service area exhibits weak income
levels and persistently high unemployment as a result of Guam's
largely tourism-based economy. Favorably, receivables have
diminished to a more manageable level, and annual bad debt
expenses remain low.

Rating Sensitivity
Weaker Than Expected Financial Performance: The current rating
takes into account GPA's weak balance sheet, marginal debt service
coverage and rate regulation. However, failure to restore and
maintain operating margins as a result of restrictive rate
regulation or costly environmental compliance strategies could
ultimately lead to negative rating action.

Credit Profile
Guam is the westernmost territory of the U.S., located
approximately 3,800 miles southwest of Honolulu, HI, and almost
1,600 miles southeast of Tokyo, Japan. The island's population
grew by a nominal 3% over the prior decade, reaching an estimated
159,350, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.

GPA provides electric generation, transmission, and distribution
service on a retail basis to a largely residential service
territory. Customers are served primarily through owned
generation, and to a lesser extent through three energy agreements
with independent power producers (IPPs). Owned generating
resources of the authority totaling 357.4 MW consist of three oil-
fired steam generating units, four combustion turbine units, and
14 diesel units. Total available capacity is twice the system's
record peak demand and well in excess of projected future demand.

Regulatory Deadline Approaching
GPA's most recent integrated resource plan (IRP) was completed in
2012 and is focused entirely on fuel diversification strategies
and environmental compliance strategies. While the IRP includes
plans to continue adding renewable resources, the largest
initiative by far is the development of infrastructure needed to
utilize LNG.

The expected cost is sizeable, estimated to be as much as $775
million, although the implementation of LNG would provide greater
fuel diversification and effectively satisfy the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) standards. GPA officials have reportedly
released an invitation for bids for LNG solutions and requested
the EPA enter into a consent decree in order to extend the
approaching April 2015 deadline to comply with MACT standards.

Fitch views the authority's plan to diversify its fuel resources
positively but believes the additional leverage needed to satisfy
the EPA's requirements could pressure GPA's overall credit profile
over the near term. Fitch will continue to monitor the authority's
progress with satisfying its regulatory obligations and developing
LNG infrastructure.

Rate-Regulated Utility
GPA is regulated by a seven-member PUC appointed to six-year terms
by the governor of Guam, subject to legislative approval.
Interactions between GPA and the PUC have reportedly been
constructive and cooperative over the last several years,
resulting in base rate adjustments in three out of the prior four
years. However, the PUC's unwillingness to approve the authority's
2011 petition to increase the frequency of GPA's LEAC mechanism to
quarterly from semiannually and impose a payment in lieu of taxes
(PILOT) surcharge underscores Fitch's belief that the authority's
financial flexibility remains limited due to rate regulation.

Weak Financial Metrics
The authority's financial metrics remain satisfactory for the
current ratings. Fitch-calculated DSC of senior and subordinate
lien obligations, including annual lease payments, stabilized in
fiscals 2010 and 2011, but a moderate increase in annual debt
service coupled with a delayed rate increase and declining sales
dropped debt service coverage to slightly below 1.0x in fiscal
2012.

Liquidity also declined, falling from 30 days of unrestricted cash
on hand in fiscal 2011 to an even weaker 17 days by year-end. A
surcharge embedded in the LEAC satisfies GPA's indenture-required
working capital fund and provides an additional 30 days cash if
needed, although the fund would ultimately have to be replenished
following any draws.

GPA's financial forecast through fiscal 2016 shows annual DSC
improving to an acceptable average of about 1.3x. The forecast
assumes a continuation of historical growth in customers served, a
pending 2.2% base rate increase and flat energy sales.

GPA filed its latest base rate petition to the PUC in August 2013
and expects to have the increase approved and implemented by the
start of the 2014 fiscal year. Fitch believes the forecast is
achievable, but notes that financial results beyond the current
planning period will likely be pressured as a result of having to
comply with MACT standards.

HARRISBURG, PA: Aims to Pay Bank $1.9MM From Western Auction
------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Harrisburg's state-appointed receiver on
Sept. 17 asked a Pennsylvania judge permission to give creditor
Metro Bank at least $1.9 million obtained through the auction of
the city's collection of Wild West artifacts, in order to repay a
loan associated with the city's bungled waste-to-energy project.

According to the report, the financially beleaguered capital city,
whose financial restructuring is being handled by state-appointed
receiver Maj. Gen. William Lynch, owes the bank a total of nearly
$2.5 million, as part of $345 million in debt from the municipal
project.

                 About Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

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

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

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

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

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

Kenneth W. Lee, Esq., Christopher E. Fisher, Esq., Beverly Weiss
Manne, Esq., and Michael A. Shiner, Esq., at Tucker Arensberg,
P.C., represented Mayor Thompson in the Chapter 9 case. Counsel to
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was Neal D. Colton, Esq., Jeffrey
G. Weil, Esq., Eric L. Scherling, Esq., at Cozen O'Connor.

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

Dismissal of the Chapter 9 petition was upheld in a U.S. District
Court.

That same month, the state governor appointed David Unkovic as
receiver for Harrisburg.  Mr. Unkovic is represented by the
Municipal Recovery & Restructuring group of McKenna Long &
Aldridge LLP, led by Keith Mason, Esq., co-chair of the group.

Mr. Unkovic resigned as receiver March 30, 2012.  Mr. Unkovic was
replaced by William Lynch as receiver.


HAWAII OUTDOOR: Has Deal Extending Benda Trust Lease
----------------------------------------------------
David C. Farmer, Chapter 11 trustee for Hawaii Outdoor Tours,
Inc., asks the Bankruptcy Court to approve a third stipulated
order extending the time for the trustee to assume or reject the
Benda Trust Lease.

Pursuant to the stipulation entered among the trustee, the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, First-Citizens Bank &
Trust Company, and the trustees of the Eleanor Rose Benda Trust,
the deadline for the trustee to assume or reject the Benda Trust
Lease is extended from Sept. 16, 2013, until Dec. 31.

According to the trustee, the Benda Trust Lease is for real
property located in Hilo, Hawaii, containing an area of
approximately two and a half acres.  The Benda Trust Lease
commenced on an effective date of March 1, 1979.  Current lease
rent is $32,000 per annum, payable by quarterly payments in the
amount of $8,000.

                     About Hawaii Outdoor Tours

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

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

Bankruptcy Judge Robert J. Faris oversees the case.  Ramon J.
Ferrer, Esq., represents the Debtor as counsel.

In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed $52,492,891 in assets and
$11,756,697 in liabilities.  The petition was signed by CEO

A copy of Judge Kirscher's Sept. 16, 2013 Memorandum of Decision
is available at http://is.gd/KhgON5from Leagle.com.

Helena Christian School, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. D. Mont. Case No. 13-60091) in Butte on Jan. 29, 2013.
Judge Ralph B. Kirscher oversees the case.  J. Colleen Herrington,
Esq., at DeSchenes & Sullivan Law Office, serves as the Debtor's
counsel.  In its petition, the school estimated $1 million to $10
million in both assets and debts.  The petition was signed by
Gregory W. Page, administrator.

The bankruptcy filing halted a sheriff's sale of the school's
property scheduled for Jan. 31, 2013.


HELENA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL: Court Rejects Bid to Mine Real Property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Ralph B. Kirscher denied the request of Helena
Christian School, Inc., to mine its real property, without
prejudice, as moot.

The Debtor proposes to extract gold from the property and repay
its creditors.  The Debtor, however, has no formal agreement with
the people who are interested in mining the property.

In response to concerns raised by Mountain West Bank, N.A., that
the Debtor's proposal to mine the Property is contrary to the
nuisance and waste provision set forth in the Mortgage recorded in
Lewis and Clark County on January 2, 2009, the Debtor claims there
will be no waste of the property because any reclamation is
protected by the certificates of deposit.  The Debtor, however,
does not propose any type of adequate protection payment to
Mountain West, other than its representation that there will be no
waste to the Property because any reclamation associated with its
gold mining is covered by a bond required by the Department of
Environmental Quality.

Helena Christian School, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. D. Mont. Case No. 13-60091) in Butte on Jan. 29, 2013.

HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Preferred Stock Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the following credit ratings of
Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HIW) and its operating
partnership, Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership, (collectively
Highwoods, or the company):

Highwoods Properties, Inc.

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-';
-- Preferred stock at 'BB'.

Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership

-- IDR at 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured lines of credit at 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured term loans at 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes at 'BBB-'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Key Rating Drivers

The ratings reflect Highwoods' well-positioned portfolio in the
company's core markets, which is supported by a granular, strong
credit quality tenant base with manageable lease expirations over
the next several years. The company also has good financial
flexibility highlighted by strong fixed charge coverage and
improved access to capital. These strengths are tempered by uneven
operating fundamentals evidenced by negative cash rent roll on
expiring leases and elevated capital expenditures, high adjusted
funds from operations (AFFO) payout ratio, and modest unencumbered
asset coverage of unsecured debt for the rating.

Improved Asset Quality

HIW's portfolio is concentrated in Southeast markets including
Raleigh, where the company is headquartered, as well as Atlanta,
Nashville and Tampa. Highwoods also maintains a small industrial
footprint in Atlanta (that management has indicated it will sell
during 2013) and Piedmont Triad, and retail presence in Kansas
City. These subsectors comprise a modest portion of the overall
enterprise at 4.1% and 6.7% of cash revenue, respectively.
Highwoods has continued to improve asset quality across the
portfolio - Class A properties now comprise 72% compared to 38% at
year-end 2004. Relatedly, in-place rents have increased more than
30% during this span. Fitch views the company's continued
portfolio transition into higher quality properties favorably
given better long-term growth prospects and greater likelihood of
contingent liquidity that can be sourced from these assets.

Strong Fixed Charge Coverage/Adequate Leverage
Fixed charge coverage was 2.3x for the trailing 12 months (TTM)
ended June 30, 2013, flat from the year ended Dec. 31, 2012 but up
from 2.0x for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011. Fitch expects that
coverage will improve modestly and stabilize at 2.4x over the next
12-24 months, which is consistent with a 'BBB' rating.

Leverage at June 30, 2013 was 6.1x and has generally remained in
the 6.0x-6.5x range during the last several years. Fitch expects
that leverage will approach 6.5x at year-end 2013 as the company
increases debt to fund acquisitions and its development pipeline;
however, leverage will likely decline to the low 6.0x range over
the longer term as development projects and new acquisitions
continue to stabilize.

Favorable Tenant Profile

Highwoods has a diverse tenant base with no tenant aside from the
Federal Government (6.8% of cash rent) contributing more than
2.5%. Additionally, 11 of the top 20 tenants are investment grade
and together contribute only 27.5% of cash revenue.

Sustained Negative Rent Rolls

The cash rent trend for HIW's office portfolio has been negative,
as expiring rents with fully-realized rent escalators continue to
see negative mark to market in the current leasing environment.
Despite these rolldowns, the weighted average rental rate across
the portfolio increased nearly 8% year-over-year given contractual
rent escalators and higher in-place rents on acquisitions. Fitch
expects that contractual rent escalators together with improving
occupancy will largely offset continued rent rolldowns over the
next 12-24 months.

Increasing Development Pipeline

Highwoods' development pipeline has seen modest growth since the
downturn. The 1.6% cost to complete the pipeline as a percent of
gross assets is modest; however, the pipeline will grow to
approximately 3% following the announced Met Life development in
Raleigh. The increasing cost to complete the pipeline is mitigated
by the high pre-lease rates that management targets (the current
93% rate will be further supported by the 100% leased Met Life
project), which removes leasing risk inherent in the development
business.

UA/UD Should See Near-Term Improvement

HIW's unencumbered asset coverage of unsecured debt was 1.7x at
the second quarter of 2013 (2Q'13), based on capitalizing
unencumbered net operating income (NOI) at a stressed 9% cap rate.
This level of coverage is adequate for the 'BBB-' rating. Coverage
weakened from 1.9x in 2012 due to the sale of non-core
unencumbered assets as well as the timing impact of recently
acquired properties. Pro forma coverage for recent transactions is
1.8x and Fitch expects that coverage will grow toward 2.0x over
the next 12-24 months as the company continues to unencumber
assets and add newly acquired properties to the unencumbered pool.

High Affo Payout Ratio

Highwoods' year-to-date adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
payout ratio of 99% is a credit concern. The company maintained
the common dividend level through the downturn while also electing
to pay the common dividend entirely in cash, rather than utilize a
more conservative combination of cash and stock. This high payout
limits Highwoods' ability to generate internal liquidity. An AFFO
payout ratio in excess of 100% is inconsistent with an investment-
grade rating.

Rating Sensitivities

The following factors may have a positive impact on Highwoods'
ratings and/or Outlook:

-- Unencumbered asset coverage of unsecured debt sustaining above
   2.0x (pro forma coverage is 1.8x);

-- Fitch's expectation of leverage sustaining below 6.0x (leverage
   at June 30, 2013 was 6.1x);

-- Maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio above 2.3x (fixed
   charge coverage was 2.3x for the TTM ended June 30, 2013).

The following factors may have a negative impact on the company's
ratings and/or Outlook:

-- Fitch's expectation of fixed-charge coverage sustaining below
   1.8x;

-- Fitch's expectation of leverage sustaining above 8.0x;

-- Maintaining an AFFO payout ratio above 100%.

Del. Case No. 13-11459) on June 4, 2013, to sell its assets to a
group led by Balmoral Funds LLC, absent higher and better offers.

iGPS Company -- http://www.igps.net-- is the first and only
plastic pallet pooling rental and leasing company in the U.S. It
offers plastic pallets with embedded radio frequency
identification (RFID) tags.  Founded in 2006, the company is
headquartered in Orlando, Florida, and has a sales and innovation
center in Bentonville, Arkansas.

The Debtor estimated $100 million to $500 million in assets and
liabilities in its Chapter 11 petition.

According to the board resolution authorizing the bankruptcy,
Pegasus IGPS LLC owns 12.55% of the company; iGPS Co-Investment
LLC owns 18.75%; Kia VIII (iGPS Sub), LLC owns 30.74%; and KIA
VIII iGPS Blocker, LLC, owns 12.27%.

John H. Strock, Esq., and L. John Bird, Esq., at Fox Rothschild
LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware; and John K. Cunningham, Esq.,
Richard S. Kebrdle, Esq., Kevin M. McGill, Esq., Fan B. He, Esq.,
at White & Case LLP, in Miami, Florida, also represent the Debtor.

The Plan filed in the Debtor's case proposes to transfer to a
liquidation trust all of the remaining assets of the Debtor.
Under the Plan, Priority Claims (Class 1) and Non-Lender Secured
Claims (Class 2) are unimpaired and will recover 100% of the
allowed claim amount.  Unsecured Claims (Class 3) are impaired and
will receive its pro rata share of the available proceeds.  Equity
Interests (Class 4) are also impaired and will be canceled on the
effective date.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is represented by
the law firm of McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, as its counsel, and
Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., as its Delaware
counsel.  The Committee tapped to retain Emerald Capital Advisors
as its financial advisors.

iGPS received court approval in July to sell the business largely
in exchange for secured debt and filed the liquidating plan based
on a settlement negotiated between the lenders and the unsecured
creditors' committee.

iGPS Logistics LLC, an entity established by the lenders, bought
the business for $2.5 million cash and a commitment to pay all
priority tax claims and claims by workers fired without required
notice.  The lenders agreed to waive their claims.  The buyers are
Balmoral Funds LLC, One Equity Partners LLC, and Jeff and Robert
Liebesman. They purchased the $148.8 million working-capital loan
shortly before bankruptcy.

In September 2013, the Court authorized the Debtor to change its
name to "Pallet Company LLC."

INFORMATION RESOURCES: New Debt Facility Gets Moody's B2 Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Information Resources, Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to B2, from B1, and assigned a B2 rating
to its new, $667.5 million senior secured credit facility. Upon
closing of the new credit facilities, ratings on the existing
senior secured debt will be withdrawn. The rating outlook is
stable.

Proceeds from the new senior secured credit facilities will be
used to refinance existing debt, and to pay for the acquisition of
Aztec Group, a U.K-headquartered provider of market-measurement
and related services for retailers and liquor and pharmaceutical
manufacturers.

The downgrade of the CFR primarily reflects the significant
increase in financial leverage resulting from the Aztec
acquisition and related integration risks.

The following ratings were assigned:

  Senior Secured Credit Facilities due 2018 and 2020, B2
  (LGD4, 50%)

The following ratings were downgraded

  Corporate Family Rating to B2 from B1

  Probability of Default Rating to B2-PD from B1-PD

Rating Rationale:

The B2 CFR reflects high pro-forma leverage (approximately 6.0x
debt-to-EBITDA, including Moody's standard adjustments) resulting
from the acquisition of Aztec, challenges related to its
integration, and a sluggish top line at IRI itself. As a result,
leverage will improve slowly over the next twelve to 18 months.
Furthermore, although IRI competes with the larger Nielsen
Holdings N.V. in a duopolistic industry structure, IRI's EBITDA
margins are relatively modest.

IRI's clients are disciplined cost managers that face
consolidation pressure, which creates contract-renewal risk and
pricing pressure for IRI. The rating is supported by long-term
contracts with customers, creating predictable revenue streams,
high barriers to entry from historical product data and in-place
data collection processes, and limited technology risks. Moody's
expects 2014 revenue growth at IRI in the low single digits,
primarily from the impact of the Aztec acquisition, which will
increase geographic, product, and customer diversification.
Revenue improvement could be meaningfully higher (as could EBITDA
margins) if customers respond favorably to the significantly
enhanced data offering IRI can now provide from the Walmart
partnership, the upfront costs for which are now fully behind the
company.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company demonstrates
significant top line growth, improving credit metrics, and a
commitment to conservative financial policies such that Moody's
comes to expect debt-to-EBITDA and free-cash-flow-to-debt to be
sustained at about 4.5x and 5%, respectively. Alternatively, the
ratings could be downgraded if liquidity deteriorates or
profitability weakens such that Moody's comes to expect debt-to-
EBITDA to be sustained at or above approximately 6.5x, or free-
cash-flow-to-debt measuring in the low-single-digit percentages.

Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) provides market measurement data
and related services to consumer packaged goods and health care
manufacturers in the U.S. and Western Europe. IRI is majority
owned by affiliates of New Mountain Capital. Pro-forma for the
September 2013 acquisition of Aztec, IRI's 2013 revenue should be
close to $900 million

The principal methodology used in this rating was 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.


INNOVIDA HOLDINGS: Miami Exec Gets 12.5 Years for $40-Mil. Scam
---------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Florida federal judge handed down a 150-
month sentence on Sept. 18 to Miami businessman Claudio Osorio,
who earlier this year pled guilty to conning investors of bankrupt
InnoVida Holdings LLC out of $40 million, and ordered him to pay
about $20 million in restitution.

According to the report, U.S. District Judge William Dimitrouleas
said he was prepared to give a harsher punishment, as the evidence
against Osorio -- InnoVida's president, owner and majority
shareholder -- was overwhelming and he did not see the degree of
cooperation mentioned in a plea agreement.

The case is USA v. Eleazar Osorio et al., Case No. 1:12-cr-20901
(S.D. Fla.).

                   About InnoVida and Osorio

Receiver Mark S. Meland, at Meland Russin & Budwick, PA, filed a
Chapter 11 petition for InnoVida Holdings, LLC, fdba COEG, LLC
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 11-17702) on March 24, 2011.  Separate
Chapter 11 petitions were filed for these affiliates: InnoVida
MRD, LLC (Case No. 11-17704), InnoVida Services, Inc. (Case No.
11-17705), and InnoVida Southeast, LLC (Case No. 11-17706).  Peter
D. Russin, Esq., at Meland Russin & Budwick, P.A., serves as
bankruptcy counsel.  InnoVida Holdings has under $50,000 in assets
and $10 million to $50 million in debts, according to the
petition.

Founder Claudio Eleazar and Amarilis Osorio filed a separate
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 11-17075) on
March 17, 2011.  Mr. Osorios is being accused of fraud and
mismanagement.

Bankruptcy Judge Robert A. Mark in Miami authorized the
appointment of Mark S. Meland as trustee for InnoVida.
Mr. Meland, who had been serving as a receiver for the business in
the wake of the allegations against Mr. Osorio, was the one who
ushered InnoVida into bankruptcy.  Soneet Kapila, Fort Lauderdale
accountant and court-appointed fiduciary, was named new Chapter 7
trustee for the case of Claudio Osorio, replacing Chapter 11
trustee Mark Meland.  The appointment came after Mr. Osorio's
Chapter 11 cases was converted to Chapter 7 liquidations.

downgraded James River Coal Company's Corporate Family Rating to
Caa2 from Caa1.

"While the company continues to take actions to reposition
operations and shore up its balance sheet, we expect external
factors will preclude James River from maintaining credit measures
and liquidity consistent with the Caa1 rating level," said Ben
Nelson, Moody's lead analyst for James River Coal Company.

Services raised its corporate credit rating on Richmond, Va.-based
James River Coal Co. to 'CCC' from 'SD' (selective default).

"We raised our rating on James River Coal because we understand
that the company has stopped repurchasing its debt at deep
discounts, for the time being," said credit analyst Megan
Johnston.

The Hon. Richard E. Fehling of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania extended until Dec. 17, 2013,
KidsPeace Corporation, et al.'s time to assume or reject non-
residential real property leases.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 5, 2013, the
Debtors requested that the Court extend until Dec. 17, 2013, the
period of time within which the Debtors may assume or reject non-

There are 31 leases involving property at different locations
throughout the county.  The Debtors, according to Joseph R.
Zapata, Jr., Esq., at NORRIS, McLAUGHLIN & MARCUS, PA, in

actively engaged in discussions with the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

filing of plan of reorganization, the Debtors are unable to
determine which Leases will be a necessary part of the
reorganization and thus beneficial to the estate, Mr. Zapata tells

post-petition rental payments on the Leases, and expect to
continue to do so unless and until any lease is formally rejected.

LAKELAND INDUSTRIES: Clarifies Statements Made in the Media
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lakeland Industries, Inc., responded to recent inquiries of
shareholders and investment articles surrounding the junior and
senior financing transactions completed by the Company in June
2013.

The per annum interest rate on the Company's senior credit
facility of $15 million with Alostar Business Credit, a division
of Alostar Bank of Commerce, is LIBOR plus 525 basis points (with
a floor of 6.25 percent).  Since the applicable per annum LIBOR
rate is lower than 0.5 percent, the current effective per annum
interest rate on the senior debt is 6.25 percent.

As a condition precedent of the senior loan, the Company was
required to obtain a $3.5 million subordinated loan.  The Company
secured a junior loan with LKL Investments, an affiliate of Arenal
Capital, which provides for per annum interest at the rate of 12
percent through Dec. 27, 2016, and the issuance to the junior
lender of a common stock warrant to purchase 566,015 shares of the
common stock of the Company at $.01 per share.  The overall per
annum rate of return of the entire $3.5 million junior debt
financing, taking into account the 12 percent interest rate and
assuming a three year exit on the warrant, is approximately 30
percent.

Being that the junior loan was a condition of the senior financing
transaction, the Company has calculated a blended per annum rate
of the loans of approximately 10 to 11 percent based upon certain
reasonable assumptions, including the relative size of the two
loans and attributing a value to the warrant based upon the market
price of the common stock.

In addition, as part of the junior financing, the junior lender
was given the right to elect one director to the Board of
Directors of the Company commencing with the Company's annual
meeting of stockholders in 2014.  Accordingly, no representative
of the junior lender is currently a member of the Board of
Directors of the Company.

On Sept. 13, 2013, the Company hired Eduardo Tavares as the
executive in charge of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lakeland
Brasil S.A.  Mr. Tavares is primarily responsible for running the
Company's Brazilian operations.  Mr. Tavares was hired by the
Company for his experience in turning-around distressed companies
in Brazil, including companies which operate in the same markets
as does Lakeland Brazil.  Mr. Tavares also has extensive knowledge
of the Company's customer base and its competitors.

                     About Lakeland Industries

Ronkonkoma, N.Y.-based Lakeland Industries, Inc., manufactures and
sells a comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Spars with Mich. Housing Authority Over Swap Deal
------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that attorneys for Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority on Sept. 18
battled in court over the method for calculating what the agency
owed Lehman following the termination of a swap agreement in 2008.

According to the report, the long-standing dispute stemmed from 20
interest rate swaps MSHDA entered into with a Lehman unit in 2000.
Under the agreement, either party could terminate the deal if the
other party defaulted, the report related.  When Lehman did just
that as a result of its bankruptcy, the housing authority ended
the agreement, the report further related.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 08-13555) on Sept. 15, 2008.  Lehman's bankruptcy
petition disclosed US$639 billion in assets and US$613 billion in
debts, effectively making the firm's bankruptcy filing the
largest in U.S. history.  Several other affiliates followed
thereafter.

Affiliates Merit LLC, LB Somerset LLC and LB Preferred Somerset
LLC sought for bankruptcy protection in December 2009.

The Debtors' bankruptcy cases are handled by Judge James M. Peck.

On Sept. 19, 2008, the Honorable Gerard E. Lynch of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered an
order commencing liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc., pursuant
to the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act (Case
No. 08-CIV-8119 (GEL)).  James W. Giddens has been appointed as
trustee for the SIPA liquidation of the business of LBI.

The Bankruptcy Court approved Barclays Bank Plc's purchase of
Lehman Brothers' North American investment banking and capital
markets operations and supporting infrastructure for US$1.75
billion.  Nomura Holdings Inc., the largest brokerage house in
Japan, purchased LBHI's operations in Europe for US$2 plus the
retention of most of employees.  Nomura also bought Lehman's
operations in the Asia Pacific for US$225 million.

Lehman emerged from bankruptcy protection on March 6, 2012, more
than three years after it filed the largest bankruptcy in U.S.
history.  The Chapter 11 plan for the Lehman companies other than
the broker was confirmed in December 2011.

Lehman made its first payment of $22.5 billion to creditors in
April 2012, a second payment of $10.2 billion on Oct. 1, 2012,
and a third distribution of $14.2 billion on April 4, 2013.  The
brokerage is yet to make a first distribution to non-customers,
although customers are being paid in full.

LIGHTSQUARED INC: Battles with Lenders Over Auction Rules
---------------------------------------------------------
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported
that the fight over who will conduct the bankruptcy auction of
LightSquared is heating up as companies tied to hedge fund manager
Phil Falcone and Dish Network's Charlie Ergen vie over the fate of
the troubled wireless venture.

According to the report, in a flurry of court filings on the night
of Sept. 17 and the morning the following day, LightSquared's
potential bidders -- two groups of lenders -- squared off with
LightSquared and its owner, Mr. Falcone's Harbinger Capital, over
their competing auction proposals, each side claiming the other's
proposal would put their rivals in position to take control of the
company.

A subsidiary of Dish has already bid $2.2 billion for
LightSquared's wireless spectrum assets. Creditors U.S. Bancorp
and MAST Capital Management have also teamed and plan to "credit
bid" -- or to use some of the company's debt it controls -- to
purchase another spectrum controlled by LightSquared, the report
related.

The two lender groups have agreed that Dish's $2.2 billion offer
should serve as the stalking horse, or lead bid, for one set of
wireless spectrum assets, the report added.  Dish would $66
million break-up fee if its offer is topped by a rival bidder. The
U.S. Bank-MAST lenders, owed some $322.3 million, would serve as
the stalking horse for the other spectrum assets.

LightSquared, which is controlled by Phil Falcone and his
Harbinger Capital Partners hedge fund firm, says those procedures
are "self-serving" and designed to ensure that only one bidder,
namely Dish, will emerge victorious at the auction, the report
further related.

                      About LightSquared Inc.

LightSquared Inc. and 19 of its affiliates filed Chapter 11
bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-12080) on
May 14, 2012, to resolve regulatory issues that have prevented it
from building its coast-to-coast integrated satellite 4G wireless
network.

LightSquared had invested more than $4 billion to deploy an
integrated satellite-terrestrial network.  In February 2012,
however, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission told
LightSquared the agency would revoke a license to build out the
network as it would interfere with global positioning systems used
by the military and various industries.  In March 2012, the
Company's partner, Sprint, canceled a master services agreement.
LightSquared's lenders deemed the termination of the Sprint
agreement would trigger cross-defaults under LightSquared's
prepetition credit agreements.

LightSquared and its prepetition lenders attempted to negotiate a
global restructuring that would provide LightSquared with
liquidity and runway necessary to resolve its issues with the FCC.
Despite working diligently and in good faith, however,
LightSquared and the lenders were not able to consummate a global
restructuring on terms acceptable to all interested parties.

MARKET CENTER EAST: 10th Cir. Vacates Lurie and Park Fee Ruling
---------------------------------------------------------------
Market Center East Retail Property, Inc. appeals from the
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, which affirmed the bankruptcy court's
award of attorney's fees to Barak Lurie and his firm, Lurie &
Park.  Lurie was Market Center's attorney in completing the sale
of a retail shopping center to Lowe's Home Center.  The bankruptcy
court awarded Lurie $350,752.06 in attorney's fees. The BAP
affirmed.  Market Center argues that the bankruptcy court erred in
calculating the amount of attorney's fees because the bankruptcy
court should have used the lodestar approach in its calculations,
that the 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330(a)(3) factors are an exhaustive list
of factors that the bankruptcy court is required to consider, and
that Congress intended 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330(a) to be construed
consistently with case law for awarding attorney's fees under
federal fee-shifting statutes such as 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1988.

According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit,
"While we do not agree with Market Center in all regards, we
nonetheless reverse and remand."  A copy of the Tenth Circuit's
decision dated Sept. 19 is available at http://is.gd/h9j02Jfrom
Leagle.com.

Market Center owned a retail shopping center in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. In August 2008, Market Center entered into a contract to
sell the shopping center to Lowe's for $13.5 million. Lowe's paid
a deposit of $105,000, and closing of the transaction was
scheduled for February 2009. In December 2008, Lowe's informed
Market Center that it would not complete the transaction, blaming
the bad economy.

In February 2009, Danny Lahave, the president and sole shareholder
of Market Center, met with Barak Lurie of the California law firm
Lurie & Park to discuss filing suit against Lowe's for abandoning
its commitment to purchase the shopping center.  In discussing
compensation, Lurie proposed that it be paid at its customary rate
of $395 per hour, while Lahave proposed that Lurie be paid a
contingency fee. After negotiation, the two parties entered into
an agreement that provided Lurie would be paid at the rate of $200
per hour, plus a contingency fee equal to 15% of any sums
recovered in damages or the purchase price of the shopping center
occurring 90 days or earlier before the date first set for trial.
Mr. Lahave and Lurie both believed that a settlement in the range
of $200,000 was the maximum amount that they could reasonably
expect to recover from Lowe's because of a liquidated damages
provision contained in the purchase contract.  Mr. Lahave, who was
acting with the assistance of his transactions attorney Robert
Diener, and Lurie entered into a Retainer Agreement on February 3,
2009.

On Feb. 23, 2009, Lurie filed suit on behalf of Market Center
against Lowe's alleging among other claims, breach of contract,
breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in
the inducement, and negligent misrepresentation.  On April 20,
2009, Lowe's offered to purchase the shopping center for $7.5
million.

Market Center then, on April 22, 2009, filed a petition for
Chapter 11 relief. The bankruptcy court found as a matter of fact
that Market Center and Danny Lahave, the president and sole
shareholder of Market Center, knowingly misled Lurie by failing to
inform Lurie of the anticipated filing of a bankruptcy petition.
On June 10, 2009, Market Center filed an application with the
bankruptcy court to employ Lurie to continue to pursue the action
against Lowe's on the terms agreed to prior to the bankruptcy
filing.  The application referenced the fee arrangement between
the two parties.  Orix Capital Market and the Office of the United
States Trustee both filed objections to the application, but both
objections were quickly resolved. However, Market Center never
submitted a proposed order approving the employment of Lurie to
the bankruptcy court, nor did the bankruptcy court ever issue an
order adopting a pre-employment contract pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 328.

On Nov. 6, 2009, Market Center secured an order from the
bankruptcy court authorizing the sale of the shopping center to
Lowe's, pursuant to a settlement agreement between Market Center
and Lowe's in which Lowe's agreed to purchase the shopping center
for $9.75 million (down from Lowe's original purchase price of
$13.5 million).  The purchase price paid for the shopping center
would allow all creditors to be paid in full, along with a
remainder to be returned to Market Center. The bankruptcy court
found that Lurie spent a total of 43.75 hours in its work for
Market Center.

After the bankruptcy court's approval of the settlement and sale
of the shopping center to Lowe's, Market Center sought to withdraw
its application to employ Lurie. Lurie objected to the withdrawal.
In January 2010, the bankruptcy court approved a Stipulated
Employment Order that was filed by Lurie and Market Center
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 327(e). The order stated that Lurie was
entitled to an administrative claim for professional services
rendered on and after June 10, 2009.  However, the parties
disputed: 1) the terms and amount of Lurie's compensation, and 2)
Lurie's entitlement to compensation for services between April 22,
2009 (the date Market Center's bankruptcy petition was filed) and
June 10, 2009 (the date the application to employ Lurie was
filed). The Stipulated Employment Order left the amount of
compensation to be determined by the bankruptcy court pursuant to
11 U.S.C. Sec. 330.

Lurie sought compensation in excess of $1.47 million, which is
based on a 15% contingency fee on the $9.75 million sales price of
the shopping center to Lowe's, plus hourly fees and costs, as well
as $9,345.08 in fees, costs, and taxes associated with resisting
Market Center's motion to withdraw its application for Lurie's
employment. In response, Market Center argued that Lurie's claim
should be $17,500, which is calculated as $28,000 (70 billable
hours at $400 per hour) less $10,500 already paid. The bankruptcy
court found on July 2, 2010, that "the withdrawal of the Barak
Lurie employment application was done in complete bad faith on the
part of Mr. Lahave."

In an opinion filed on March 30, 2011, the bankruptcy court
determined that Lurie is owed $350,752.06 in fees and expenses,
which was calculated based on 15% of $2.25 million (the difference
between the $9.75 million that Lowe's paid for the shopping center
and the $7.5 million that Lowe's had initially offered in
settlement proceedings), plus an hourly rate of $200 per hour for
Lurie's professional services, plus Lurie's attorney's fees to
date in disputing the claim.

The BAP affirmed the bankruptcy court's calculation of fees and
expenses, and rejected Market Center's argument that the
bankruptcy court erred in awarding Lurie a contingent fee based
upon 15% of $2.25 million.

On appeal to the Tenth Circuit, Market Center raises three issues:

     (1) whether the bankruptcy court's and the BAP's construction
of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330 to permit the bankruptcy court, in its
discretion, to award a contingent fee, rather than determining a
fee based on the lodestar, is consistent with the language and
intent of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330 and with the case law construing
11 U.S.C. Sec. 330;

     (2) whether both the bankruptcy court and the BAP erred as a
matter of law in concluding that the factors listed in 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 330(a)(3) for determining a reasonable attorney's fee in a
bankruptcy proceeding are a "non-exclusive list" of factors which
the bankruptcy court is free to consider, or not consider, in its
discretion; and

     (3) whether Congress intended that 11 U.S.C. Sec. 330(a)(3)
be construed consistently with the case law for determining a
"reasonable attorney's fee" under the federal fee-shifting
statutes such as 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1988.

Appellant, v. BARAK LURIE; LURIE AND PARK, Appellees, No. 12-2053

MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE: Enters Into Bank Credit Facility Amendment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. on Sept. 20 disclosed that it
has entered into an amendment of its bank credit facility.  Among
other things, the Amendment reduces the available revolving credit
commitments under the Facility and modifies certain covenants to
resolve technical defaults that arose in connection with the
Company's goodwill impairment taken in the second quarter of this
year.  As a result of the Amendment, the Company is now in
compliance with all financial and other covenants under the
Facility.

Karen M. Spaun, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "We

$498.0 million of statutory surplus, growth in profits from our
net commission and fees, achieved rate increases in excess of loss
ratio trends across our core business, and the implementation of
our policy issuance agreement, which provides the Company with the
use of an "A" rated policy issuance company for a portion of its
business, we believe the Company is in a strong financial position
to return to profitability."

MGM RESORTS: Tracinda Held 18.6% Equity Stake at Sept. 17
---------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Tracinda Corporation and Kirk Kerkorian
disclosed that as of Sept. 17, 2013, they beneficially owned
91,173,744 shares of common stock of MGM Resorts International
representing 18.6 percent of the shares outstanding.

On March 13, 2013, Tracinda filed with the Federal Trade
Commission a Notification pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules
promulgated thereunder in connection with its potential purchases
of additional shares of common stock either in the open market or
directly from third parties.  Since making that filing, Tracinda
has made no purchases of Common Stock.

"Tracinda monitors its investment in the Company by, among other
things, contacting Company management to address operations and
market conditions," Tracinda said in the regulatory filing.
"Tracinda continues to believe that there is substantial value in
the assets of MGM Resorts and that the Company is a good long-term
investment."

Tracinda complies with the Company's Securities Trading Policy
and, therefore, may generally trade Common Stock only during
"trading windows" established by the Company.  The next trading
window is expected to open on the third trading day following
issuance of the Company's earnings release for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2013.

MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) --
http://www.mgmresorts.com/-- has significant holdings in gaming,
hospitality and entertainment, owns and operates 15 properties
located in Nevada, Mississippi and Michigan, and has 50 percent
investments in four other properties in Nevada, Illinois and
Macau.

MGM Resorts reported a net los attributable to the Company of
$1.76 billion in 2012 as compared with net income attributable to
the Company of $3.11 billion in 2011.   The Company's balance
sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $26.05 billion in total assets,
$18.17 billion in total liabilities, and $7.87 billion in total
stockholders' equity.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"We have a significant amount of indebtedness maturing in 2015 and
thereafter.  Our ability to timely refinance and replace such
indebtedness will depend upon the foregoing as well as on
continued and sustained improvements in financial markets.  If we
are unable to refinance our indebtedness on a timely basis, we
might be forced to seek alternate forms of financing, dispose of
certain assets or minimize capital expenditures and other
investments.  There is no assurance that any of these alternatives
would be available to us, if at all, on satisfactory terms, on
terms that would not be disadvantageous to us, or on terms that
would not require us to breach the terms and conditions of our
existing or future debt agreements.

"Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by
events beyond our control.  The breach of any such covenants or
obligations not otherwise waived or cured could result in a
default under the applicable debt obligations and could trigger
acceleration of those obligations, which in turn could trigger
cross defaults under other agreements governing our long-term
indebtedness.  Any default under our senior credit facility or the
indentures governing our other debt could adversely affect our
growth, our financial condition, our results of operations and our
ability to make payments on our debt, and could force us to seek
protection under the bankruptcy laws," the Company said in its
annual report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 14, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on MGM Resorts
International to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.   In March 2012, S&P revised
the outlook to positive from stable.

"The revision of our rating outlook to positive reflects strong
performance in 2011 and our expectation that MGM will continue to
benefit from the improving performance trends on the Las Vegas
Strip," S&P said.

In March 2012, Moody's Investors Service affirmed its B2 corporate
family rating and probability of default rating.  The affirmation
of MGM's B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Moody's view that
positive lodging trends in Las Vegas will continue through 2012
which will help improve MGM's leverage and coverage metrics,
albeit modestly. Additionally, the company's declaration of a $400
million dividend ($204 million to MGM) from its 51% owned Macau
joint venture due to be paid shortly will also improve the
company's liquidity profile. The ratings also consider MGM's
recent bank amendment that resulted in about 50% of its
$3.5 billion senior credit facility being extended one year from
2014 to 2015.

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 15, 2012, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed MGM Resorts International's (MGM) Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) at 'B-' and MGM Grand Paradise, S.A.'s (MGM Grand Paradise)
IDR at 'B+'.


MIH PARENT: S&P Assigns 'B-' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Positive
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B-'
corporate credit rating to MIH Parent Inc.  The outlook is
positive.

S&P also assigned a 'B' issue-level rating with a recovery rating
of '2' to the company's $50 million senior secured revolving
credit facility and $490 million first-lien term loan.  The '2'
recovery rating indicates expectations for substantial (70% to
90%) recovery of principal in the event of default.  In addition,
S&P assigned a 'CCC' issue-level rating with a '6' recovery rating
to the company's $245 million senior secured second-lien term
loan.  The '6' recovery rating indicates expectations for
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery of principal in the event of
default.

The company is using the loan proceeds together with management's
rollover and sponsor's equity contribution to fund the
approximately $1.1 billion purchase of Mitchell, including
refinancing existing debt.

"The ratings on Mitchell reflect the company's weak business
profile, characterized by its narrow addressable market and modest
revenue base, and its highly leveraged financial profile," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Katarzyna Nolan.

The company's solid market position, highly visible revenue base,
high barriers to entry, and modest positive free cash flow
partially offset these factors.

The positive outlook reflects S&P's view that the company's
adjusted leverage will decrease over the next 12 months, toward
the mid-7x area, mainly as a result of debt reduction and modest
EBITDA growth.

S&P would revise the outlook to stable if acquisitions, dividends,
or a loss of a major customer forestalled the expected reduction
in leverage.

S&P could raise the rating if the company reduces its adjusted
leverage to the mid-7x area in 2014 and if we expect ongoing
leverage improvement.


MJM MANAGEMENT: Lender May Proceed With Foreclosure Case
--------------------------------------------------------
Los Angeles Bankruptcy Judge Thomas B. Donovan said the automatic
stay imposed in the Chapter 11 case of MJM MANAGEMENT, LLC, will
be lifted 30 days from entry of the Court's order to allow lender
EH National Bank, f/k/a/ Excel National Bank to enforce all of its
rights and remedies under state law, including foreclosure and
seeking appointment of a state court receiver.

The Debtor is a borrower under a 2006 loan agreement, which is
currently approximately $2,200,000, plus accrued default interest,
late charges, and other fees and costs.  The loan is secured by a
first deed of trust on the a hotel on real property located at
1770 Orchid Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90028, which is the
Debtor's sole asset, along with a security interest in certain
collateral, including all rents, profits and issues, cash, money,
deposit accounts, and other general tangible and intangible
personal property from the Property.

Within two years prior to the bankruptcy filing, the Debtor also
has encumbered the Hotel with numerous liens and deeds of trust to
individuals.

The Debtor first filed a chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Calif.
Case No. 13-11161) on Jan. 15, 2013.  That case was subsequently
dismissed voluntarily by the Debtor after the United States
Trustee filed a Motion Under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b)(1) to Convert,
Dismiss or Appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee With An Order Directing
Payment of Quarterly Fees and For Judgment Thereon.  The Order
dismissing the Prior Bankruptcy was entered on March 8, 2013.

The Debtor filed its second Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D.
Calif. Case No. 13-28734) on July 24, 2013, after lender EXB
obtained appointment of a receiver in a state court foreclosure
action.  The second filing staved off a foreclosure sale that had
been scheduled for Aug. 8, 2013.

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL: Extends $500MM Facility Through 2014
------------------------------------------------------------
Navistar Financial Corporation, an affiliate of Navistar, Inc.,
has signed agreements to extend its $500 million dealer inventory
funding facility an additional six months.  The facility, which is
funded through three of NFC's major relationship banks, now
extends through September of 2014.

"We continue to have strong access to capital to support our
financing operations," said Walter Borst, executive vice president
and chief financial officer, Navistar.  "This extension improves
our pricing, which is indicative of the progress we have made in
our turnaround."

NFC provides financing programs and services tailored to support
Navistar's dealer and customer equipment financing needs.

"The quality of our portfolio and strength of our dealer network
have earned the ongoing confidence and support of our relationship
banks," said Bill McMenamin, president, NFC.  "This transaction
provides continued flexibility in funding wholesale assets to help
us support our dealer network and the sale of International(R)
trucks and IC BusTM brand buses."

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

As reported by the TCR on June 19, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on
Illinois-based truckmaker Navistar International Corp. (NAV) to
'B-' from 'B'.  The rating downgrades reflect S&P's negative
reassessment of NAV's business risk profile to "vulnerable" from
"weak".

As reported by the TCR on Jan. 24, 2013, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) for Navistar
International Corporation and Navistar Financial Corporation at
'CCC' and removed the Negative Outlook on the ratings.  The
removal reflects Fitch's view that immediate concerns about
liquidity have lessened, although liquidity remains an important
rating consideration as NAV implements its selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) engine strategy. Other rating concerns are already
incorporated in the 'CCC' rating.


NEW CENTURY TRS: Court Won't Reinstate Galope Claim
---------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin J. Carey denied the Second Motion for
Reconsideration filed by Helen Galope to reverse a prior court
order on her claim filed in the Chapter 11 cases of New Century
TRS Holdings, Inc.

The New Century Liquidating Trust, by and through Alan M. Jacobs,
as the Liquidating Trustee, filed an objection to the Second
Motion for Reconsideration.

On July 29, 2011, Ms. Galope filed proof of claim number 4131 in
the amount of $350,000 (secured) plus unliquidated amounts.  The
Galope Claim states that the basis of the claim is a "Mortgage
Note" in the original principal amount of $522,000 in favor of New
Century Mortgage Corporation and attached a copy of the Federal
Truth-in-Lending Disclosure Statement and the Deed of Trust, both
dated December 16, 2006, as exhibits.  The Chapter 11 Trustee
objected to the claim on the grounds that it was a late claim,
since it was filed almost four years after the claims bar date.

On Feb. 7, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Memorandum and
Order, sustaining the Chapter 11 Trustee's Claim Objection and
disallowing and expunging the Galope Claim.  Ms. Galope filed her
First Motion for Reconsideration, which was denied by Memorandum
and Order dated May 17, 2012.  On June 1, 2012, Ms. Galope filed
the Second Motion for Reconsideration based, in part, upon the
decision issued by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals on May 18,
2012: Wright v. Owens Corning, 679 F.3d 101 (3d Cir. 2012).

A copy of the Court's Sept. 17, 2013 Memorandum is available at

                       About New Century

Founded in 1995, Irvine, Calif.-based New Century Financial
Corporation (NYSE: NEW) -- http://www.ncen.com/-- was a real
estate investment trust, providing mortgage products to borrowers
nationwide through its operating subsidiaries, New Century
Mortgage Corporation and Home123 Corporation.   The Company was
among firms hit by the collapse of the subprime mortgage business
industry in 2006.

The company and its debtor-affiliates filed for Chapter 11
protection on April 2, 2007 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
07-10416).  Suzzanne Uhland, Esq., Austin K. Barron, Esq., and Ana
Acevedo, Esq., at O'Melveny & Myers LLP, and Mark D. Collins,

of $36,276,815 and total debts of $102,503,950.

The Company sold its assets in transactions approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11
Plan of Liquidation of the Debtors and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors on July 15, 2008, which became effective on
Aug. 1, 2008.  An appeal was taken and, on July 16, 2009, District
Judge Sue Robinson issued a Memorandum Opinion reversing the
Confirmation Order.  On July 27, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court
entered an Order Granting Motion of the Trustee for an Order
Preserving the Status Quo Including Maintenance of Alan M. Jacobs
as Liquidating Trustee, Plan Administrator and Sole Officer and
Director of the Debtors, Pending Entry of a Final Order Consistent
with the District Court's Memorandum Opinion.

On Nov. 20, 2009, the Court entered an Order confirming the
Modified Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation.  The
Modified Plan adopted, ratified and confirmed the New Century
Liquidating Trust Agreement, dated as of Aug. 1, 2008, which

NGPL PIPECO: Bank Debt Trades at 11% Off
----------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which NGPL PipeCo LLC is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 89.63 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, September 20, 2013, according
to data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing and reported
in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.38
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
NGPL PipeCo LLC pays 550 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under
the facility.  The bank loan matures on May 4, 2017.  The bank
debt carries Moody's B2 and Standard & Poor's B rating.  The loan
is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 204 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, NGPL PipeCo. LLC is a holding
company for Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America and other
interstate natural gas pipeline assets.  NGPL is 80% owned by
Myria Acquisition LLC and 20% owned and operated by Kinder Morgan,
Inc.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 6, 2013,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded NGPL PipeCo LLC's (NGPL)
senior unsecured debt rating, Corporate Family Rating, and

Grade Liquidity Rating is changed to SGL-3 from SGL-2. The rating
outlook is now stable.


NORANDA OPERATING: DBRS Confirms 'BB' Senior Secured Notes
----------------------------------------------------------
DBRS has confirmed the BB (high) rating with a Stable trend on the
Senior Secured Notes of Noranda Operating Trust (the Trust).  The
Trust remains a well-established and profitable processor of zinc
concentrates strategically located to serve North American zinc
metal markets, but is highly dependent on a zinc concentrate
supply and processing agreement (Supply and Processing Agreement)
with Glencore Canada Corporation (Glencore Canada) that ends its
initial term in May 2017.  Post-May 2017, the economic viability
of the Trust's zinc processing facility (CEZinc) is uncertain as
it will need to replace (or continue) the Glencore Canada
concentrate supply in a market that is currently in oversupply
with low zinc processing charges.

The Trust's CEZinc facility has been operating well since the
resolution of issues related to the storage of excess sulphuric
acid.  Combined with a refinancing of its debt in 2011, a reduced
level of distributions and large contributions from working
capital reductions, the Trust's debt has been reduced sharply and
its credit metrics are now very strong.

The Trust's near-term financial picture can be expected to
strengthen as term debt is reduced by $15.0 million per year and
zinc processing operations proceed normally under the auspices of
the Supply and Processing Agreement.  That said, despite labour
stability provided by a three-year contract signed in 2011, lower
production due to higher expected maintenance in H2 2013 is
expected to reduce some of H1 2013 gains.  In addition, near-term,
operational complexity can be expected to increase as traditional
sources of zinc concentrate transition to new sources, each with
its own processing characteristics.

DRBS considers the CEZinc to be an important part of Glencore
Canada's current zinc mine operations; as such, we consider
Glencore Canada has a strong vested interest in its ongoing
operation.  DBRS expects it likely that Glencore Canada could and
would provide financial assistance if the Trust had difficulties
in meeting its financial obligations during the term of the Supply
and Processing Agreement.  Nonetheless, the Trust's earnings and
cash flow are fully dependent on the terms of its Supply and
Processing Agreement with Glencore Canada and continuing near-
capacity operation.

Even though the Supply and Processing Agreement is subject to
automatic renewal for five year terms at the end of its initial
term on May 2, 2017, Glencore Canada has the right with
appropriate advance written notice to indicate it does not wish to
renew the agreement.  In that case, the Trust would have to seek
alternate sources of concentrate to process after May 2017 or
potentially could seek to revise the terms of the existing
agreement with Glencore Canada.  In these cases, if current market
conditions are a guide, DBRS expects the Trust can expect
significantly lower earnings and profitability post-May 2017, or
even a possible shutdown of operations due to competitive
pressures.

Accordingly, DBRS discontinued the Issuer Rating of the Trust (an
exception to its normal rating practice), due to the uncertainty
regarding the Trust's viability post-2017.  As well, DBRS has not
established a Recovery rating for the Senior Secured notes as
their repayment remains intricately tied to assumptions regarding
the successful operation under the Supply and Processing
Agreement, which extends beyond the notes maturity in December
2016.

In the first half of 2013, the Trust has continued to restrict
distributions to provide funds to maintain the operational
capability of CEZinc and build resources to accommodate any
transition / remediation / closure costs that may be incurred
post-May 2017.  DBRS views this as prudent action given the
profitability of the CEZinc facility post-May 2017 remains in
doubt.


NORBORD INC: DBRS Hikes Issuer Rating to 'BB'
---------------------------------------------
DBRS has upgraded the Issuer Rating of Norbord Inc. (Norbord or
the Company) to BB from BB (low) and has changed the trend to
Stable from Positive.  The upgrade reflects the fact that
Norbord's credit metrics have strengthened significantly, driven
by improved market conditions and better operating efficiency, and
the expectation that Norbord will maintain solid credit metrics
going forward.

DBRS has also confirmed the recovery ratings of Norbord's Senior
Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes at RR3 and RR6,
respectively.  As a result of the base Issuer Rating being
upgraded to BB, with a Stable trend, the RR3 on the Senior Secured
Notes corresponds to a confirmation of the Senior Secured Notes at
BB, with a Stable trend, which also removes them from Under Review
with Developing Implications, where they were placed on May 27,
2013.  In addition, the RR6 on the Senior Unsecured Notes
corresponds to an upgrade of the Senior Unsecured Notes to B
(high) from B, with a trend change to Stable from Positive.

DBRS changed the trend on Norbord's Issuer Rating to Positive from
Stable earlier this year, noting that if the Company's credit
metrics remained solid in the near term, its Issuer Rating would
likely be upgraded by one notch.  Since then, Norbord's credit
metrics have remained solid and significantly stronger than the
previous year, driven by the improved U.S. housing industry and
better operating efficiency achieved through continued mill
improvements.  Recent weakening in North American oriented strand
board (OSB) prices was caused by: (1) industry mill restarts and
(2) record high OSB prices, which caused the reverse substitution
to plywood and the redirection of export volumes into the domestic
market.  Currently, North American OSB prices have stabilized, and
they are expected to remain near current levels throughout the
remainder of 2013 as this is the time of year when producers begin
performing annual maintenance.  Going forward, DBRS expects
Norbord's 2014 credit metrics to remain solid due to sustained
recovery in the U.S. housing market and the expected positive
effects from recent industry consolidation where the top four
producers will account for 75% of industry capacity.  Moreover,
positive sentiment in the U.K. housing market, supported by
improved housing prices and government stimulus, bodes well for
Norbord's European operations.  However, DBRS expects 2014 credit
metrics to be weaker than 2013 due to lower OSB prices driven by
the added industry production from restarted mills.  In the near-
to-medium term, Norbord is well positioned to benefit from a full
recovery of the U.S. housing market, supported by the suppressed
household formations and improving labour market.  DBRS maintains
its expectation that 2013 housing starts will reach near one
million units.

Despite having gone through one of the industry's worst historical
downturns, Norbord managed to materially reduce its debt level
during that time by reducing its total debt obligations from $610
million in 2008 to $434 million in June 2013, which greatly
reduced its financial risk.

Norbord's credit rating continues to be supported by its solid
business profile as a leading low-cost producer of OSB in North
America, driven by continued advancement in operating efficiencies
and the implied support of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM,
rated A (low) by DBRS), its majority owner.  In addition, Norbord
is expected to maintain its leading and low-cost producer status
with continuing capital investment programs.

In conclusion, DBRS expects the U.S. housing market to continue
its recovery and the Company's credit metrics to remain solid for
the foreseeable future, while improvements in operating
efficiency, a more consolidated industry and reduction in leverage
make Norbord better positioned to enter the next downturn.

DBRS has simulated a default scenario for Norbord in order to
analyze the potential recovery of the Company's senior debt in the
event of default.  The scenario assumes a prolonged period of
severe economic conditions, regardless of how hypothetical or
unlikely the conditions may be, in which product demand and prices
plummet.  Based on the recovery analysis, DBRS believes that
holders of the Senior Secured Notes would recover approximately
60% to 80% of the principal; therefore, the recovery rating
remains at RR3.  The Senior Unsecured Notes would recover 0% of
the principal; therefore, the recovery rating remains at RR6.


NORTHWEST G.F. MUTUAL: A.M. Best Affirms 'B-' FSR
--------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has revised the outlook to stable from negative and
affirmed the financial strength rating of B- (Fair) and issuer
credit rating of "bb-" of Northwest G.F. Mutual Insurance Company
(Northwest) (Eureka, SD).

The affirmation of the ratings for Northwest is due to a
strengthening of its overall risk-adjusted capitalization and
improvement in its underwriting operating performance over the
past year.  In recent years, the company had been impacted by
frequent and severe weather-related events as well as the
financial crisis in 2008.  As a result, pre-tax operating losses
and negative net income was reported for three consecutive years,
ending in 2011.  Significant surplus declines were reported in
recent years (2010 and 2011) and primarily were due to significant
underwriting losses caused by frequent tornado/hail storms in
Northwest's operating territories of North and South Dakota, which
eroded its risk-adjusted capital position and increased
underwriting leverage.

However, following the appointment of a new management team in
late 2011, Northwest has implemented several corrective actions to
improve profitability, which included policy count exposure
reductions, curtailing of writings in more catastrophe-prone areas
of the two states, increased rates and tightening of underwriting
standards.

Over the past 18 months, these actions have resulted in a
significant turnaround in underwriting results, with combined
ratios in the full year of 2012 and through the second quarter of
2013 well below 100%, signifying an underwriting profit.
Consequently, Northwest's capital position improved significantly
in 2012 and 2013, with surplus increasing by 24% by year-end 2012
compared to year-end 2011, while the first six months of 2013 have
witnessed another 24% increase compared to year-end 2012.

While Northwest is currently well positioned at its current rating
level, potential exists for positive movement in its ratings
and/or outlook if its current favorable underwriting and operating
performance trends can be sustained along with maintenance of the
company's strengthened risk-adjusted capital position.

Conversely, if Northwest's previously negative trend of declining
risk-adjusted capitalization and adverse operating results were to
return, it could result in renewed pressure on its ratings and/or
a negative outlook.


ORECK CORP: AAC Consulting Approved to Provide Tax Services
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee
authorized Oreck Corporation, et al., to employ AAC Consulting,
LLC, to provide tax services, including compilation and filing of
federal and state tax returns, for the Debtors.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 22, 2013, to
the best of the Debtors' knowledge, AAC and Allison Civello, the
sole member of AAC, are both "disinterested" persons under the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors propose to compensate AAC $60,000 for each filing
period ($120,000 total), 50% to be paid in advance, 25% to be paid
at the completion of the fiscal 2013 tax returns, and 25% to be
paid at the completion of the fiscal 2014 tax returns.

                        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.

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.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $31.40
million in total assets, $41.69 million in total liabilities and a
$10.29 million total shareholders' deficit.

Moss Adams LLP, in San Diego, California, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the

operating cash flows which raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

PETER PETER COTTONTAIL: Court Says Loan Modification Enforceable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona Bankruptcy Judge Randolph J. Haines held Thursday that a
loan modification agreement negotiated between debtors Peter Peter
Cottontail LLC, Randango LLC, Bermuda & The Boulevard LLC, and D &
J Properties LLC, and Everkrisp Vegetables, Inc., satisfied the
Arizona Statute of Frauds or any of its exceptions.  Even had it
not, exceptions to the Statute of Frauds apply in this case to
make the agreement's terms enforceable, said Judge Haines in a
Sept. 19, 2013 Opinion is available at http://is.gd/2iwGRWfrom
Leagle.com.

In March 2006, South Bethany 303 LLC, a predecessor-in-interest to
the Debtors, purchased from Everkrisp approximately 38 acres of
unimproved farmland in western Maricopa County. To secure payment,
South Bethany executed a promissory note and Deed of Trust to
Everkrisp. As additional consideration for the purchase, Everkrisp
received the right pursuant to a lease agreement to farm the
property rent-free until the promissory note was paid.

The original promissory note carried a principal of $2.385 million
with a maturity date of July 19, 2011. Interest accrued at the
rate of 8% per year, and the note provided for quarterly interest-
only payments until the note was paid in full.

In April 2009, after South Bethany defaulted under the note,
Everkrisp agreed to a loan modification that decreased the
quarterly payment obligation and extended the maturity date to
July 19, 2013.  South Bethany transferred its interest in the
property to the Debtors, and pursuant to the loan modification,
the Debtors and Everkrisp executed Allonge No. 1 to the Promissory
Note.  Allonge No. 1 provided for half of the quarterly interest
payment ($23,850) to be made to Everkrisp, with the other $23,850
to be added to the outstanding principal balance.  The Debtors and
Everkrisp also executed lease amendments adding the Debtors as the
Lessors and extending the rent-free lease period.

On Jan. 13, 2010, Randy Black, Jr., Manager for the Debtors, sent
a proposal for another loan modification to Michael Etchart, Vice
President of Everkrisp.  According to the letter, the Debtors'
partners were having difficulty raising capital to pay the
interest on the property for the following 12 months.  Mr. Black's
proposal was a $70,000 payment to Everkrisp upon Etchart's
acceptance of the proposal that would represent all interest owed
for 2010. Quarterly payments would resume on Jan. 1, 2011 at
$23,850.  Mr. Etchart signed the proposal on Jan. 20, 2010, and
the Debtors subsequently made the $70,000 payment on Jan. 22.

In 2011, the Debtors had further problems raising capital and
became in default on the first two quarterly payments of 2011. The
Debtors and Everkrisp had discussions to further modify the terms
of the promissory note, and the discussions resulted in terms that
Etchart testified were acceptable to Everkrisp.  In June 2011,
Everkrisp's counsel prepared a document titled Allonge No. 2 to
Promissory Note that contained the terms of these discussions.
Allonge No. 2 provided that the outstanding principal balance
would be reduced from approximately $2.8 million to $1.5 million,
interest would no longer accrue on the loan, and quarterly
payments of $25,000 would be applied to the principal. Payments
due would begin retroactively in January 2011, and Allonge No. 2
contained a provision making its terms conditioned upon the Debtor
paying the then-delinquent January and April 2011 payments. The
maturity date and rent-free lease period were also both extended
to August 2015.

The events following the preparation of Allonge No. 2 are the
subjects of contention between the parties. In an email to the
Debtors dated June 22, 2011, Everkrisp's counsel attached Allonge
No. 2 and requested the $25,000 January and April 2011 payments be
made. July 7, 2011 the Debtors made a payment to Everkrisp in the
amount of $50,000. The Debtors claim to have signed Allonge No. 2
and returned it to Everkrisp, but the Debtors have no delivery
confirmation of such an act. Etchart testified that Everkrisp was
planning on signing the agreement upon receiving a returned signed
copy from the Debtors, but that they never did receive such a
copy. Everkrisp also claims never to have signed any copy of
Allonge No. 2. The Debtors, who claim to have been working under
the terms of Allonge No. 2, made two more payments of $25,000: one
in September 2011 that would have been the July payment, and
another in March 2012 that would have been the October 2011
payment.

After repeated defaults of quarterly payments, in June 2012
counsel for Everkrisp sent the Debtors a notice of default for
failing to make the required January and April 2012 payments.
Regarding the debt, the letter only referenced the original
principal amount of $2.385 million, the original promissory note,
and Allonge No. 1.  It made no reference as to specific amounts
due or to Allonge No. 2, only indicating default under the January
and April 2012 payments.

Following the default letter, Everkrisp commenced foreclosure
proceedings, and their counsel sent another letter to the Debtors
dated Aug. 23, 2012 alerting them of a Trustee's Sale dated Oct.
30, 2012.  This letter included a detail of the loan payoff
balance, as well as what Everkrisp would accept to reinstate the
loan. The loan payoff balance was calculated using an outstanding
principal of approximatly $1.4 million. The loan reinstatement
calculations requested delinquent principal payments for January,
April, and July 2012 totaling $75,000, plus late fees and legal
fees. These calculations were made pursuant to the terms of
Allonge No. 2.

On Oct. 3, 2012, counsel for Everkrisp sent a follow up letter to
the Debtors revising the totals using calculations under the terms
of Allonge No. 1.  This follow up letter revised the outstanding
principal amount to $2.385 million, and noted that because Allonge
No. 2 was never executed and contained a reversionary clause under
events of default, the terms of Allonge No. 1 controlled.

The Debtors' proposed Plan of Reorganization provides for a cure
of all defaults to Everkrisp and reinstatement of the loan
pursuant to Allonge No. 2.  Everkrisp filed a proof of claim for
the amounts owed pursuant to Allonge No. 1.  Everkrisp claims that
Allonge No. 2 never controlled because, having never signed the
document themselves, and never receiving a signed copy from the
Debtors, it did not satisfy the Statute of Frauds.  Though the
Debtors do not have a copy of Allonge No. 2 signed by all parties,
they claim to have signed and returned a copy to Everkrisp.  The
Debtors also claim that Everkrisp should be estopped from claiming
the Statute of Frauds because the Debtors detrimentally relied on
Everkrisp's actions in negotiating and drafting Allonge No. 2, as
well as their actions in the time following its drafting.

PMC MARKETING: Suit Against AIG Life de PR Survives Dismissal Bid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Brian K. Tester in Puerto Rico denied the motion
for summary judgment filed by AIG Life de PR, seeking dismissal of
the complaint commenced by Noreen Wiscovitch Rentas, the chapter 7
interim trustee for PMC Marketing Corp.  The Trustee seeks the
return to the Debtor's estate of transfers incurred by the Debtor
as payment for the Debtor's president's life insurance which
formed part of his benefits.  These expenses consisted of three
payments of $2,646.50 each, totaling $7,939.50 in favor of AIG.
In seeking dismissal, the Defendant asserts that the Complaint is
time-barred as the Trustee commenced the suit after the permitted
two-year time frame established in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 546(a)(1)(A).
The Defendant also said the Trustee has not produced evidence in
the Complaint regarding the elements required for a Section 547(b)
claim other than stating in a conclusory fashion that the
Complaint indeed meets the evidentiary requirements.

The case is, NOREEN WISCOVITCH RENTAS, Plaintiff, v. AIG LIFE DE
PR, Defendant(s), Adv. Proc. No. 12-00117 (Bankr. D.P.R.).  A copy

QUANTUM FUEL: Inks $11 Million Private Placement Financing
----------------------------------------------------------
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., has entered
into definitive agreements with certain accredited investors for a
private placement of 2 percent senior secured convertible notes in
the cumulative principal amount of $11 million and warrants.  Mr.
Kevin Douglas of Larkspur, California, led the transaction with an
investment of $10 million.  The terms of the offering satisfy the
requirements of NASDAQ to be considered an above market value
transaction and as such, members of the Company's management team
and board of directors also participated in the offering,
including W. Brian Olson, the Company's chief executive officer
and Bradley Timon, the Company's chief financial officer.  The
closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or around
Sept. 18, 2013.  The Company will use approximately $7.3 million
of the proceeds to retire bridge debt that matures over the next
45 days.  The remainder will be used for general working capital.

Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC acted as the Company's placement
agent.

The principal and interest due under the notes is payable on the
fifth anniversary of the closing, subject to the investors' put
right that may be exercised during the 30 day period following the
third anniversary of the closing.  Subject to certain beneficial
ownership limitations, the notes are convertible at any time into
shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price per
share of $2.3824, which represents a 3.6 percent premium to the
previous closing price for a share of the Company's common stock.
The notes are secured by a second lien position on substantially
all of the assets of the Company's continuing operations.

The investors received warrants to purchase up to 3,411,235 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.30 per
share.  The warrants cannot be exercised for six months following
the closing and expire in March 2019.

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreements, Mr. Douglas
was given the right to appoint one individual to serve on the
Company's board of directors for as long as any of the convertible
notes remain outstanding.

REUTAX AG: German Case Gets Nod By U.S. Bankruptcy Court
--------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Reutax AG's insolvency action in Heidelberg,
Germany, was recognized on Sept. 17 by Delaware's bankruptcy court
as the staffing and recruiting firm's foreign main proceeding,
while Reutax's founder faces criminal charges for allegedly
embezzling funds to purchase a Beverly Hills mansion and other
luxuries.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath
signed off on Reutax's motion to award recognition to its already
pending case under "Insolvenzordnung," the German insolvency code,
following her grant of a temporary restraining order to block
creditors from taking action against the company's U.S. assets.

Reutax began German bankruptcy proceedings in March and founder
Soheyl Ghaemian, who resigned soon after, was arrested in Germany
in June on charges of fraud, embezzlement and breach of fiduciary
duties, according to court documents, the report related.

Heidelberg, Germany-based Reutax AG provides information
technology services to clients, 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 US$40 million investment.  Faced
with a liquidity squeeze, as well as EUR10 million in liabilities

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.

RIDGECREST RDA: Moody's Confirms 'Ba1' Rating on TABs
-----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has confirmed the Ba1 rating of the
Successor Agency to the Ridgecrest Redevelopment Agency's (CA) Tax
Allocation Bonds (TABs), Series 2010. The bonds are secured by a
pledge of tax increment revenues from the agency's project area.

Ratings Rationale:

The confirmation of the Ba1 rating reflects the weak debt service
coverage in the 2nd half of each fiscal year. Coverage is
healthier on an annual basis. The rating also reflects the low
taxpayer concentration of the project area, and typical
socioeconomic profile of the area. The low incremental assessed
valuation (AV) to total AV and slightly smaller than typical
incremental assessed valuation unfavorably factors into the rating
as well.

Under AB X1 26 and AB 1484, the statutes that dissolved all
California redevelopment agencies (RDAs), tax increment revenue is
placed in trust with the County auditor, who makes semi-annual
distributions of funds sufficient to pay debt service on tax
allocation bonds, including other obligations. The state
legislature's willingness to modify the cash flows available for
bond debt service is a considerable source of uncertainty and a
major factor for the current rating.

Strengths

- Large project area and increment AV size

- Low tax payer concentration

Challenges

- Lack of strong projected semi-annual debt service coverage
   levels for all semi-annual periods

- Somewhat low increment to total assessed value ratio

- High degree of exposure to government sector

What could move the rating-UP

- Significant and sustained increase in assessed valuation

- Increased debt service coverage

What could move the rating-DOWN

- Erosion of semi-annual debt service coverage

- Protracted assessed value decline

The principal methodology used in this rating was Moody's Analytic
Approach to Rating California Tax Allocation Bonds published in
December 2003.


RIVERDALE, IL: Moody's Withdraws Rating on Series 2007 GO Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the rating on the Village
of Riverdale's (IL) General Obligation Bonds, Series 2007,
affecting $1.5 million of Moody's-rated outstanding general
obligation debt. The rating was previously placed under review on
June 25, 2013 due to the lack of verifiable, current financial
information. The village has failed to release a fiscal 2012 audit
for the year ending April 30, 2012. Due to the absence of this
information, the rating has been withdrawn.

Ratings Rationale:

Moody's has withdrawn the rating because it believes it has
insufficient or otherwise inadequate information to support the
maintenance of the rating.

On June 25, 2013, Moody's Investors Service has placed the B2
rating of the Village of Riverdale, IL under review with direction
uncertain affecting $1.5 million of Moody's-rated outstanding
general obligation debt. The review is prompted by the lack of
sufficient, current financial information. The village has failed
to release a fiscal 2012 audit for the year ending April 30, 2012.
Additionally, the village was unable to provide interim or
unaudited data. If sufficient, current information is not received
over the coming weeks, Moody's will take appropriate rating action
which could include the withdrawal or lowering of the ratings.


ROCKWOOD SPECIALTIES: Moody's Says Asset Sale a Credit Positive
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said Rockwood's sales of its Titanium
Dioxide Pigments and four other non-strategic businesses (Color
Pigments & Services, Timber Treatment Chemicals,
Rubber/Thermoplastics Compounding and Water Chemistry) is a modest
credit positive, but the sale will not immediate impact its
Corporate Family Rating (Ba1 CFR).

Rockwood Specialties Group, Inc., headquartered in Princeton, New
Jersey, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Rockwood
Holdings, Inc. Rockwood produces a variety of specialty chemicals,
including pigments, additives, surface treatment chemicals, and
lithium. Revenues were $3.0 billion for the twelve months ending
June 30, 2013 (excluding revenues from the divested CeramTec
business).


RURAL/METRO CORP: Oct. 24 Hearing on Adequacy of Plan Outline
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware will
convene a hearing on Oct. 24, 2013, at 2:30 p.m., to consider
adequacy of information explaining Rural/Metro Corporation, et
al.'s Joint Plan of Reorganization dated Sept. 15, 2013.
Objections, if any, are due Oct. 17, at 4 p.m.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the consenting lenders
holding in excess of 51% of the Debtors' secured debt and the
consenting noteholders holding in excess of 66.66% of the Debtors'
unsecured notes support the confirmation of the Plan.

The overall purpose of the Plan is to provide for the
restructuring of the Debtors' liabilities in a manner designed to
maximize recovery to stakeholders and to enhance the financial
viability of the Reorganized Debtors.  Generally, the Plan
provides for a consensual balance sheet restructuring that will
reduce the Debtors' funded indebtedness by approximately 50% and
cut interest payments nearly in half.  Specifically, the
restructuring transactions contemplated in the Plan will
substantially de-lever debt obligations by (i) partially paying
down the prepetition senior secured facility by $50,000,000 and
(ii) converting Noteholder Claims and Other Unsecured Claims (to
the extent holders of Other Unsecured Claims elect to receive New
Common Stock in lieu of Cash) into 100% of the common stock of
Reorganized RMC subject to dilution.

The Debtors' prepetition equity holders' interests will be
canceled, and upon emergence, all of Reorganized RMC's New Common
Stock will be owned by the holders of Noteholder Claims (including
those participating in the Rights Offering) and the holders of the
Other Unsecured Claims (to the extent such holders of Other
Unsecured Claims elect to receive New Common Stock in lieu of
Cash).  Creditors holding Other Secured Claims will receive cash,
their collateral, or retain their liens, as applicable, in
satisfaction of their Claims.

SAN BERNARDINO, CA: CalPERS Can't Block Ch. 9 Proceeding
--------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a California bankruptcy judge granted
judgment in favor of the city of San Bernardino, Calif., on Sept.
17, rejecting protests from the California Public Employees'
Retirement System and finding that the city is eligible for
Chapter 9 bankruptcy relief and can begin proceedings.

According to the report, the decision comes more than a month
after CalPERS asked a federal judge to stop San Bernardino from
proceeding with its municipal bankruptcy, arguing that the city's
failure to plan should bar it from insolvency protection.

                    About San Bernardino, Calif.

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

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

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

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

The City was granted Chapter 9 protection on Aug. 28, 2013.

SCIMECA FOUNDATION: Ch.7 Trustee Authorized to Sell Foremost Bldg
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Bruce Fox greenlighted the sale of Scimeca
Foundation, Inc.'s real and personal property, including the
Foremost Building, for $4 million, free and clear of liens, at the
behest of the chapter 7 trustee, Gary F. Seitz.  The  Court also
approved an agreement between the Chapter 7 Trustee and secured
creditor, Ciena Capital Funding LLC, which settles the trustee's
potential claim under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 506(c) and includes
authorization to pay from the sale proceeds all normal costs of
sale, including real estate commissions, as well as "undisputed
liens."

Judge Fox said the trustee's proposed sale is fair and reasonable
and entered into in good faith, when coupled with the agreement of
Ciena to carve out almost $470,000 from the sale proceeds
otherwise payable to that secured creditor. The trustee's proposed
compromise of his prospective section 506(c) claim is also
reasonable.

As part of the sale order, the trustee also seeks to terminate
five alleged leaseholds held by the debtor's principal, Peter
DeFeo, and by an entity owned and/or controlled by him,
International Artist Studio (IAS), and to order these two tenants
to vacate these leaseholds.1

The debtor, by Mr. DeFeo, and by Creek Road Funding LLC, which is
another entity owned and/or controlled by Mr. DeFeo, opposed.  No
other creditor or party in interest has challenged the
reasonableness of this sale.

The trustee's motion is supported by Ciena Capital and by South
Street Head House District. The City of Philadelphia has no
objection to the trustee's request to sell the debtor's property
free and clear of liens, nor to pay undisputed lien claims, so
long as the trustee places funds from the sale proceeds in escrow
equal to the City's disputed claims.

Judge Fox said the sale will be free and clear of all interests
against the debtor's property, including the purported leasehold
interests of Mr. DeFeo and International Arts Studio, but
excluding the leasehold interests of other tenants to whom no
notice of the trustee's motion was given.  Accordingly, Mr. DeFeo
and IAS will have to vacate the Foremost Building promptly.

Scimeca Foundation, Inc., filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. E.D. Pa. Case No. 10-13662) on May 3, 2010.  Its sole
assets are real and personal property located at 517-529 South 4th
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the Foremost Building). At the
time of its bankruptcy filing, and thereafter, the debtor leased
its realty to commercial tenants on its ground and basement
floors, and office space on the second through fourth floors.
There appears to be space used as an apartment on the fifth floor.

On its Bankruptcy Schedule A, the debtor valued its real estate in
the amount of $9 million.

The debtor filed for bankruptcy to stay a May 4, 2010 sheriff sale
scheduled by Ciena Capital Funding, LLC, f/k/a BLX Capital, LLC.
In August 2010, the debtor and Ciena entered into a stipulation in
which the debtor acknowledged that in January 2006 it borrowed
$2.75 million from Ciena secured by its real estate, by all
tangible and intangible personal property, and by an assignment of
rents and leases.  This loan was guaranteed by Mr. DeFeo. Id.
Ciena later assigned its loan interest to HSBC Bank USA, N.A., but
has been acting as agent for the assignee throughout this
bankruptcy case.  The debtor defaulted in loan payments to Ciena
in November 2008, as well as defaulted under its loan documents
owing to its failure to tender payments for property taxes and
insurance.

The debtor filed an Amended Disclosure Statement and Third Amended
Plan dated June 7, 2011.  On August 2, 2011, the debtor's Third
Amended Plan, as modified, was confirmed.  The debtor, however,
was unable to tender certain payments required under the confirmed
plan.

By order dated Feb. 23, 2012, a motion to convert the case to
Chapter 7 was conditionally denied based upon the debtor's
confirmed plan commitment to sell its real estate or refinance its
secured debt by April 30, 2012.  On April 30, 2012, the debtor
filed a motion for approval to sell its real estate to an entity
called Foremost Acquisition Partners, LP, which agreed to pay $6.1
million for the debtor's real and personal property.

On June 4, 2012, the debtor withdrew its motion to sell its
realty, giving no reasons for doing so.

In June 2012, the debtor obtained conditional approval to borrow
$3,780,000 from an entity known as Financial Funding LLC, with the
borrower receiving a first priority lien on the debtor's realty.
The debtor averred that this refinancing would be sufficient to
repay all claims in full.  The debtr, however, failed to close the
refinancing.

The City of Philadelphia renewed its motion to convert the case to
chapter 7.  This motion was granted on August 7, 2012 to take
effect on August 17, 2012.

The Chapter 7 trustee obtained an appraisal from the firm of
Lukens & Wolf, which valued the debtor's realty at $3.8 million as
of December 26, 2012, less than two months after the trustee was
appointed.  Richard Hideck of Lukens & Wolf led the engagement.

In April 2013, through the brokerage firm of Coldwell Banker
Preferred, Philip Harvey submitted a written proposal to purchase
the debtor's realty and personal property located therein for $4
million, placing a $100,000 cash deposit with the trustee.  This
offer had no financing contingency and Mr. Harvey testified that
he has sufficient funds on hand to complete the sale.  He has
completed his due diligence, demanding that an old oil tank be
removed -- which the trustee has done -- and is prepared to close.
One condition to closing, however, is that trustee "terminate all
leases and occupancy by the prior owner, Peter Defoe [sic] prior
to settlement."  Mr. Harvey acknowledged that, upon purchase, he
intended to continue to rent office space on the property's upper
floors rather than convert that space to residential use.

The Harvey agreement was accepted by the trustee, expressly
subject to bankruptcy court approval and the right of the trustee
to seek higher and better offers, with the possibility of an
auction occurring if a competing bid were received.  After
conditionally accepting Mr. Harvey's offer, the trustee continued
to market the property.  Although the trustee received a few oral
inquiries, no competing bids were made.

SIRIUS XM: Proposed $600MM Sr. Notes Issue Gets Moody's B1 Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B1 to Sirius XM Radio Inc.'s
proposed $600 million senior notes. Net proceeds from the new
notes plus some cash on hand are expected to refinance the
existing 7.625% senior notes due 2018. All other ratings are
unchanged including the company's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating,
Ba3-PD Probability of Default Rating as well as B1 instrument
ratings on the existing senior notes. The B1 ratings on the
proposed and existing senior notes reflect their effective
subordination to the unrated secured revolver. The stable rating
outlook is unchanged.

Issuer: Sirius XM Radio Inc.

7.625% sr notes due 2018 ($540 million outstanding): Unchanged B1,
LGD4 -- 60%

Ratings Rationale:

Sirius' Ba3 corporate family rating reflects moderate pro forma
leverage (estimated 3.3x debt-to-EBITDA as of June 30, 2013,
including Moody's standard adjustments) and expectations for free
cash flow before dividends of more than $800 million or 23% of
debt balances over the next 12 months. Despite the increase in
debt-to-EBITDA from 2.8x as of March 31, 2013 (including Moody's
standard adjustments), leverage ratios along with other credit
metrics remain within the Ba3 category.

Since the beginning of 2013, the company increased funded debt
balances by $0.8 billion and repurchased roughly $1.3 billion of
common stock on the open market under its $2 billion common share
repurchase program. Moody's expects the company to fund additional
share repurchases with revolver advances and operating cash flow
while maintaining leverage and coverage ratios within the Ba3
category given management's 3.5x target for reported leverage. The
Ba3 CFR reflects Moody's expectations that, despite the potential
for higher debt balances to partially fund distributions, the
self-pay subscriber base and operating performance of Sirius will
be supported by continued growth in the delivery of light vehicles
in the U.S. over the next 12 months and management will keep
leverage within its target range.

Sirius continues to position itself for enhanced financial
flexibility. As proposed, the new notes are covenant-lite with no
limitations on restricted payments nor debt issuances which
mirrors the covenant-lite structure for the $1.6 billion of notes
issued earlier this year. In contrast, the existing 5.25% notes
due 2022 provide a 3.50x leverage ratio incurrence test for
restricted payments and a 6.0x leverage ratio test for additional
indebtedness. Furthermore, management has stated that it is
looking at forming a new holding company in the near term.

Looking forward, Moody's expects U.S. deliveries of light vehicles
in 2013 to climb to 15.75 million units which is higher than its
15.25 million unit estimate at the beginning of this year. Growth
in new vehicle deliveries and modest economic recovery should
support net self-pay subscriber additions from the current 20.3
million over the next 12 months. Moody's expects EBITDA in 2013 to
increase to $1.1 billion (including Moody' standard adjustments)
accompanied by reduced capital spending in the years leading up to
the next satellite launch cycle. Continued growth in the
subscriber base will drive EBITDA increases and could better
position the company to fund the next cycle of significant
expenditures related to construction and launching of replacement
satellites beginning as early as 2016 so long as share repurchases
and dividends are maintained within prudent levels. Longer term,
ratings remain constrained as Sirius will increasingly share the
dashboard of new vehicles with OEM installed devices providing
competitive advertising-supported media, including internet radio
services. Moody's expects greater competition will also lead to
higher programming costs adding to scheduled increases in royalty
payments paid by Sirius on behalf of performing artist and
recorded music companies. These higher costs may not be entirely
offset by increases in consumer subscription rates.

In August 2013, the company announced an agreement to acquire the
connected vehicle business of Agero, Inc. for $530 million. This
transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013 subject to
regulatory approvals and is not expected to have a material
negative impact on EBITDA, free cash flow or capital spending. The
Agero business provides location-based services through two-way
wireless connectivity, including safety, security, convenience,
maintenance and data services as well as remote vehicle
diagnostics. Management expects Agero will become a restricted
subsidiary and guarantor.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's view that Sirius will increase
its self-pay subscriber base reflecting good demand for new
vehicles in the U.S. and resulting in higher revenue and EBITDA.
The outlook incorporates Sirius maintaining good liquidity, even
after the Agero acquisition as well as during periods of satellite
construction, and the likelihood of share repurchases or
additional dividends being funded from revolver advances, new debt
issuances, or free cash flow. The outlook does not incorporate
highly leveraging transactions or a level of shareholder
distributions that would negatively impact liquidity or sustain
debt-to-EBITDA ratios above 3.75x (including Moody's standard
adjustments). The stable outlook assumes that changes in the
corporate structure, including a potential tax free spin-off, will
not adversely impact the company's operating strategy, credit
metrics, or financial policies. Ratings could be downgraded if
debt-to-EBITDA ratios are sustained above 3.75x (including Moody's
standard adjustments) or if free cash flow generation falls below
targeted levels as a result of subscriber losses due to a
potentially weak economy or migration to competing media services
or due to functional problems with satellite operations. A
weakening of Sirius' liquidity position below expected levels as a
result of dividends, share repurchases, capital spending, or
additional acquisitions could also lead to a downgrade. Ratings
could be upgraded if management demonstrates a commitment to
balance debt holder returns with those of its shareholders.
Moody's would also need assurances that the company will operate
in a financially prudent manner consistent with a higher rating
including sustaining debt-to-EBITDA ratios below 2.75x (including
Moody's standard adjustments) and free cash flow-to-debt ratios
above 20% even during periods of satellite construction.

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.

Sirius XM Radio Inc., headquartered in New York, NY, provides
satellite radio services in the United States and Canada. The
company creates and broadcasts commercial-free music; premier
sports talk and live events; comedy; news; exclusive talk and
entertainment; and comprehensive Latin music, sports and talk
programming. Sirius XM services are available in vehicles from
major car companies in the U.S., and programming is also available
online as well as through applications for smartphones and other
connected devices. The company holds a 37.7% interest in Sirius XM
Canada which has more than 2 million subscribers. Sirius is
publicly traded and a controlled company of Liberty Media
Corporation which owns over 50% of common shares and controls a
majority of the board of directors. Sirius reported 25.1 million
subscribers, including 20.3 million self-pay subscribers, at the
end of June 2013 and generated revenue of $3.6 billion for the
trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2013.


SIRIUS XM: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating to $600MM Sr. Notes Due 2020
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned New York City-based
satellite radio company Sirius XM Radio Inc.'s proposed issuance
of $600 million senior notes due 2020 an issue-level rating of
'BB', with a recovery rating of '3'.  The '3' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.  Sirius plans to use the net
proceeds to redeem $540 million 7.625% senior notes due 2018.

"The rating on Sirius XM Radio incorporates our expectation that
leverage will not increase above our 4.5x threshold for the
company at this rating, despite moves to boost shareholder
returns, because of its good operating outlook and growing
discretionary cash flow.  We assess Sirius' business risk profile
as "fair," reflecting its stable churn, despite modest price
increases, steady growth of new subscribers, dependence on U.S.
new auto sales and consumer discretionary spending for growth, and
its intermediate-term vulnerability to competition from
alternative media.  We view Sirius XM's financial risk profile as
"significant" because of rising debt leverage and more aggressive
financial policies following Liberty Media Corp.'s January 2013
increase in its equity interest to a majority stake," S&P said.

In December 2012, the company paid a $327 million special dividend
and authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program.  The company
had purchased nearly $1.3 billion under this program through
July 24, 2013.  Pro forma for the transaction, lease-adjusted
gross debt to EBITDA, was 3.1x at June 30, 2013, a decline from
3.9x a year ago.  The rating outlook is stable, as S&P do not
expect the debt-to-EBITDA ratio to increase above our 4.5x target
in the intermediate term.

SOUND SHORE: Panel Retains Deloitte Financial as Financial Advisor
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Sound Shore
Medical Center of Westchester et al sought and obtained approval
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to retain Deloitte Financial
Advisory Services LLP as financial advisor.

Daniel S. Polsky attests that the firm is a "disinterested person"
as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Sound Shore Medical Center of Westchester, Mount Vernon Hospital
Inc., Howe Avenue Nursing Home and related entities sought
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 13-22840) on
May 29, 2013, in White Plains, New York.

The Debtors are the largest "safety net" providers for Southern
Westchester County in New York.  Affiliated with New York Medical
College, Sound Shore is a not-for-profit 242-bed, community based-
teaching hospital located in New Rochelle, New York.  Mountain
Vernon Hospital is a voluntary, not-for-profit 176-bed hospital
located in Mount Vernon, New York.  Howe Avenue Nursing Home is a
150-bed, comprehensive facility.

The Debtors tapped Burton S. Weston, Esq., at Garfunkel Wild, P.C.
as counsel; Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare Industry Group, LLC, as
financial advisors; and GCG Inc., as claims agent.

The Debtors are seeking to sell their assets to the Montefiore
health system.  In June 2013, Montefiore added $4.75 million to
its purchase offer for Sound Shore Medical Center and Mount Vernon
Hospital to speed up the sale.  Montefiore raised its bid to
$58.75 million plus furniture and equipment as part of a request
for a private sale of the bankrupt New Rochelle and Mount Vernon
hospitals, which the Bronx-based health system would like to buy
by August 2.  Montefiore is represented by Togut, Segal & Segal
LLP.

Alston & Bird LLP represents the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.

Sound Shore disclosed assets of $159.6 million and liabilities
totaling $200 million.  Liabilities include a $16.2 million
revolving credit and a $5.8 million term loan with Midcap
Financial LLC.  There is $9 million in mortgages with Sun Life
Assurance Co. of Canada (US) and $11.5 million owing to the New
York State Dormitory Authority.

Neubert, Pepe & Monteith, P.C., represents Daniel T. McMurray, the
patient care ombudsman for Sound Shore.


SOUND SHORE: Seeks Extension to File Plan Until Jan. 24
-------------------------------------------------------
Sound Shore Medical Center of Westchester, et al., ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for permission to extend the deadline to file
their chapter 11 plan and solicit votes on the plan to Jan. 24,
2013, and March 25, 2013, respectively.

The filing of a plan of reorganization would be premature at this
time, according to the Debtors.  Thus far, the Debtors' efforts
have been focused on addressing immediate concerns stemming from
these filings and the anticipated sale of substantially all assets
to Montefiore Medical Center's designees, many of must be resolved
prior to the formulation of a plan.  Among other things, the
Debtors must attend not only to the ongoing administration of the
estates and these cases, but cash management and the continued
viability of operations, the myriad of information requests from
the creditor constituencies, and the legal, operational and
transitional issues relating to the sale and post closing process.

A transition of the magnitude contemplated by the Sale places an
incredible stress on any organization.  This process is further
complicated by the heavy regulatory overlay under which the
Debtors must effectuate the Sale, as well as the rigors of the
bankruptcy process.  Thus, the Debtors will need additional time
to effectively negotiate and file a plan of reorganization and
develop a strategy for the successful confirmation of these cases.
This is the Debtors' first request for an extension of the
Exclusivity Periods. The Debtors submit that the extension is
reasonable under the circumstances.

Hearing on the motion is set for Dec. 2, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at
U.S. Court, 300 Quarropas Street, White Plains, New York, 10601.

Counsel for the Debtor can be reached at:

SOUTH LAKES: Modifies Plan on Provisions for Class 13 Claims
------------------------------------------------------------
South Lakes Dairy Farm modified its Plan of Reorganization dated
March 20, 2013, specifically on the provision for Class 13 general

Class 13 Claims include the deficiency claims of secured creditors

unsecured portion of secured claims, and general unsecured claims
arising out of the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired
leases.

The Debtor estimates the amount of general unsecured claims total
$8.77 million.  However, insider creditors that are controlled y
the principals of the Debtor will waive their general unsecured
claims.  Insider creditors with general unsecured claims to be
waived are:  Schakel Family Partnership, LP; M&R Transport, LLC;
and Fred and Audrey Schakel as trustees of the Schakel Family
Trust dated Nov. 5, 2012.  Thus, the Debtor estimates that amoun t
of the allowed Class 13 Claims will be $7.85 million.

Class 13 claims are impaired.  It will not accrue interest.

a pro-rata basis over a 7-year period.

   * The Debtor will pay $200,000 received from its principals to
     Class 13 Claimants by June 30, 2014.

   * The Debtor will then make payments totaling $25,000 per month
     to Class 13 Claimants on the 5th day of the month following
     the Effective Date, and continuing each month for 36 months.

   * The Debtor will make payments totaling $32,000 per month fo
     the Class 13 Claimants commencing on the 5th day of the month
     starting on the 37th month following the Effective Date or
     until the Debtor has paid $2.63 million to Class 13
     Claimants, whichever is first.

All Class 13 Claimants will get a pro rata share of each
distribution made by the Debtor under the Plan based on the amount
of their allowed Claims.

In addition to the $2.63 million, amounts recovered by the Debtor
for any preference or fraudulent conveyance actions, after
reduction for costs of recovery, will be paid to the Class 13
Claimants on a pro rata share basis.

Claims held by Class 13 Claimants will be revived to the full
unpaid amount of the Allowed Claims if the Debtor sells
substantially all of its assets outside the ordinary course of its
business prior to the 84th month following the Plan effective
date.

                     About Springleaf Finance

Springleaf was incorporated in Indiana in 1927 as successor to a
business started in 1920.  From Aug. 29, 2001, until the
completion of its sale in November 2010, Springleaf was an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG.  The consumer finance
products of Springleaf and its subsidiaries include non-conforming
real estate mortgages, consumer loans, retail sales finance and
credit-related insurance.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $13.47 billion in total
assets, $12.18 billion in total liabilities and $1.28 billion in
total shareholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter said on Feb. 8, 2012, that Standard
& Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issuer credit rating on
Springleaf Finance Corp. and its issue credit rating on the
company's senior unsecured debt to 'CCC' from 'B'.  Standard &
Poor's also said it lowered its issue credit ratings on
Springfield's senior secured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B+' and on the
company's preferred debt to 'CC' from 'CCC-'.  The outlook on
Springleaf's issuer credit rating is negative.

"Springleaf's announcement that it will shut down about 60
branches and stop lending in 14 states highlights the operating,
funding, and liquidity challenges that the firm faces as it works
to pay down the $2 billion of debt coming due in 2012 and to
establish a stable long-term funding strategy.  The downgrade also
reflects the company's poor earnings, exposure to weak residential
markets and uncertainty about its ability to refinance debt or
securitize assets over the coming year.  We believe that should
its funding or securitization options become unavailable, the
company will not have enough liquidity to survive 2012, and in
that case a distressed debt exchange would be likely.  The company
has retained financial advisors to assess its options," S&P said.

In the June 5, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Springleaf Finance Corporation's senior unsecured and
corporate family ratings to Caa1 from B3.  The downgrade reflects
Springleaf's funding constraints and uncertain liquidity outlook,
increased operational stresses, and record of operating losses
since early 2008.

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 2, 2013, Fitch Ratings has
upgraded the long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of Springleaf
Finance Corporation to 'B-' from 'CCC'.  The rating upgrades
primarily reflect the significant progress made by the company
toward repaying near-term debt and extending its liquidity runway,
combined with improved operating performance, highlighted by the
return to profitability in 2Q13.

TIMIOS NATIONAL: Purchases All Assets of Adobe Title

Title, LLC, and Adobe's members, Geoff Henley and Hudson Henley.
Adobe provides title insurance and escrow services to lenders.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Timios acquired all of the

                Restructuring Talks With Creditors

In April 2013, Energy Future Holdings Corp., Energy Future
Competitive Holdings Company, Texas Competitive Electric Holdings
Company LLC, and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC
confirmed in a regulatory filing that they are in restructuring
talks with certain unaffiliated holders of first lien senior
secured claims concerning the Companies' capital structure.

The Companies expect to continue to explore all available
restructuring alternatives to facilitate the creation of
sustainable capital structures for the Companies and to otherwise
attempt to address the Creditors' concerns with the Restructuring
Proposal and Sponsor Proposal.

The Companies have retained Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Evercore
Partners to advise the Companies with respect to the potential
changes to the Companies' capital structure and to assist in the
evaluation and implementation of other potential restructuring
options.

The Creditors have retained Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &
Garrison LLP and Millstein & Co., L.P. to advise the Creditors and
to assist in the Creditors' evaluation of potential restructuring
options involving the Companies.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, people familiar with
the matter said Apollo Global Management LLC, Oaktree Capital
Management, Centerbridge Partners and GSO Capital Partners, the
credit arm of buyout firm Blackstone Group LP, all hold large
chunks of Energy Future Holdings' senior debt.  Many of these
firms belong to a group being advised by Jim Millstein, a
restructuring expert who helped the U.S. government revamp
American International Group Inc.

According to the Journal, people familiar with Apollo's thinking
said Apollo recently enlisted investment bank Moelis & Co. for
additional advice to ensure it gets as much attention as possible
on the case given its large debt holdings.

In the Feb. 1, 2013, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings lowered
the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) of Energy Future Holdings Corp
(EFH) and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (EFIH) to
'Restricted Default' (RD) from 'CCC' on the conclusion of the debt
exchange and removed the Rating Watch Negative.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it raised its corporate credit ratings on EFH, EFIH,
TCEH, and Energy Future Competitive Holdings Co. (EFCH) to 'CCC'
from 'D' following the completion of several debt exchanges, each
of which S&P considers distressed.

In February 2013, Moody's Investors Service withdraw Energy
Future Holdings Corp.'s Caa3 Corporate Family Rating, Caa3-PD
Probability of Default Rating, SGL-4 Speculative Grade Liquidity
Rating and developing rating outlook.  At the same time, Moody's
assigned a Ca CFR to Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company
and a B3 CFR to Energy Future Intermediate Holdings Company LLC.
Both EFCH and EFIH are intermediate subsidiary holding companies
wholly-owned by EFH. EFCH's rating outlook is negative. EFIH's
rating outlook is negative.

"We see different default probabilities between EFCH and EFIH,"
said Jim Hempstead, senior vice president. "We believe EFCH has a
high likelihood of default over the next 6 to 12 months, because
it is projected to run out of cash in early 2014. EFIH has a much
lower likelihood of default owing to the credit separateness that
EFH is creating between EFIH and Texas Competitive Electric
Holdings Company LLC along with EFIH's reliance on stable cash
flows from its regulated transmission and distribution utility,
Oncor Electric Delivery Company."


UNIFIED 2020: Oct. 28 Hearing on Adequacy of Plan Outline
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas will
convene a hearing on Oct. 28, 2013, at 10:30 a.m., to consider the
adequacy of information in the Disclosure Statement explaining
Unified 2020 Realty Partners, LP's Plan of Liquidation, as
filed on Aug. 4, 2013.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 14, 2013,
because the actual operations of the Debtor's business are not
adequate to cover the debt service of the Debtor, and for other
reasons, the Debtor has decided to sell its property through its
Plan.  The stalking horse buyer is Moms Against Hunger.  The
proposed purchase price is $30,127,283.

If qualifying bids are received, then a public auction will be
held at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Texas.  In the event that a Qualified Bidder outbids Mom's Against
Hunger at the Auction sale, a Breakup Fee in the amount of
reasonable costs and fees incurred by Mom's Against Hunger not to
exceed 3% of the total Sales Proceeds or $903,818.48 is approved
and will be paid from the Sales Proceeds at Closing.

A hearing to approve the successful bid at the auction will be
scheduled for no later than five days following the sales
date.

According to the First Disclosure Statement, the Class 5 Allowed
Secured Claim of United Central Bank will be allowed in the amount
of $12,614,018.20 or such amount as agreed to by UCB and the
Debtor or if not agreed, then as determined by the Court.  The
Debtor will pay UCB in full on the Effective Date out of the Cash
Down Payment as Closing.

The estimated amount of UCB'S total claim is $16,659,773.65, based
on the Debtor' schedules.  UCB will have no Allowed Unsecured
Claim after receipt of its Allowed Secured Claim.

Class 8 Allowed General Unsecured Claims are estimated at
$24,523,617.  As of Aug. 5, 2013, the unsecured claims filed in
the case total $510,538.58.  Class 8 Claims will be paid once
allowed pro rata out of the Seller Financing.  The projected
return to this Class is 100%.

All equity interests in the Debtor will be retained because the
Plan proposes to pay allowed claims of all creditors in full.

Unified 2020 Realty Partners, LP, filed a bare-bones petition
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.

UNITED DISTRIBUTION: S&P Revises Outlook & Affirms 'B-' CCR
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its rating
outlook on Bristol, Tenn.-based United Distribution Group Inc.
(UDG) to negative from stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the
ratings on UDG, including the 'B-' corporate credit rating.

The outlook revision reflects S&P's view that operating conditions
for UDG will remain challenging for the next several years due to
ongoing weakness in its mining (predominantly coal) end markets,
which account for about 50% of salesUDG derives about 50% of
mining revenues from customers in the Central Appalachian (CAPP)
region, where mines have closed due to low thermal as well as
metallurgical (met) coal prices, thinning coal seams, rising
costs, and significant regulatory and environmental constraints.

In addition, sales to UDG's upstream oil and gas end markets
(approximately 27% of sales) declined in the first half of 2013
due to lower rig counts, although S&P would expect the declining
sales to level off in the latter half of the year due to flat rig
counts.  These factors caused UDG's total revenues and EBITDA for
the first six months of 2013 to decline about 20% compared with
the same period last year (pro forma for the 2012 acquisition of
GHX Holdings LLC), and as a result, headroom under UDG's leverage
covenant has declined to less than 15% as of June 30, 2013.  This
leads S&P to reassess UDG's liquidity as "less than adequate".

The negative outlook reflects the risk that improving oil and gas
end markets will not be sufficient to offset what S&P views as an
ongoing decline in UDG's mining end markets, which are heavily
exposed to CAPP coal.

"This could lead to continued declining headroom under the
company's leverage covenant, which could constrain its liquidity.
We expect leverage in excess of 6x with FFO to total debt of less
than 10%," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Megan Johnston.

S&P could lower the ratings if it views a covenant breach as
likely.  This could occur if sales and EBITDA continue to decline
znd UDG is unable to obtain covenant relief from its lenders.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if it thinks UDG is able to
sustainably keep headroom under its total leverage covenant above
15%.  This could occur if sales and EBITDA attributable to its oil
and gas markets continue to improve and is able to offset
declining sales and EBITDA to its coal end markets.  Although
unlikely in the near term, S&P could also revise the outlook to
stable if UDG is able to reduce debt and keep leverage below 6x.


UNITEK GLOBAL: Hires Grant Thornton as Accountants
--------------------------------------------------
UniTek Global Services, Inc., at the direction of the Audit
Committee of its Board of Directors, engaged Grant Thornton LLP as
the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to
audit the Company's 2013 financial statements.

                   About UniTek Global Services

UniTek Global Services, Inc., based in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania,
provides fulfillment and infrastructure services to media and
telecommunication companies in the United States and Canada.

Unitek incurred a net loss of $77.73 million in 2012, as compared
with a net loss of $9.13 million in 2011.  As of Dec. 31, 2012,
the Company had $326.40 million in total assets, $278.10 million
in total liabilities and $48.30 million in total stockholders'
equity.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

As of Dec. 31, 2012, the Company's total indebtedness, including
capital lease obligations, was approximately $170 million.  This
amount has increased to approximately $210 million as of Aug. 9,
2013, including amounts borrowed to cash collateralize letters of
credit.  The Company's current debt also bears interest at rates
significantly higher than historical periods.  The Company said
its substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to
its stockholders.  It will require the Company to dedicate a
substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments
on its indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of the
Company's cash flow to fund acquisitions, working capital, capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

"An event of default under either of our credit facilities could
result in, among other things, the acceleration and demand for
payment of all the principal and interest due and the foreclosure
on the collateral.  As a result of such a default or action
against collateral, we could be forced to enter into bankruptcy
proceedings, which may result in a partial or complete loss of
your investment," the Company said in the 2012 annual report.

                             *   *    *

As reported by the TCR on June 11, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Blue Bell, Pa.-
based UniTek Global Services Inc. to 'D' from 'CCC'.  "The
downgrade follows UniTek's announcement that it did not make
a scheduled interest payment on May 29, 2013, on its senior
secured term loan due 2018, which we consider to be a default
under our timeliness of payments criteria," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Weinstein.

In the June 11, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors
Service lowered UniTek Global Services, Inc.'s probability of
default and corporate family ratings to Ca-PD/LD and Ca,
respectively.  The Ca corporate family rating reflects UniTek's
missed interest payment on the term loan which is considered a
default under Moody's definition, the heightened possibility of
another default event, continued delays in the filing of restated
financials including the last two audits, management turnover, the
potential loss of the company's largest customer and other
business and legal risks stemming from issues at the company's
Pinnacle subsidiary.


USG CORP: Reports Organizational Changes to Support Growth Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
USG Corporation announced two executive organizational changes
effective October 1st.  Christopher R. Griffin, previously
executive vice president, operations is appointed executive vice
president and chief operating officer, USG Corporation.  Jennifer
F. Scanlon, previously vice president, USG Corporation and
president, International, is appointed senior vice president, USG
Corporation and President, International.  Mr. Griffin and Ms.
Scanlon will report to James S. Metcalf, chairman, president and
CEO.

"Chris is an exceptionally strong leader with a deep knowledge of
our industry and excellent relationships with our customers," said
James S. Metcalf, chairman, president and CEO.  "He has been
instrumental in successfully implementing USG's strategy and
positioning the company to take advantage of the anticipated
recovery in North American housing and construction markets.

"Jenny has done an outstanding job identifying international
growth opportunities that will facilitate our goal of diversifying
USG's earnings," Metcalf continued.  "I am confident that our new
operations in India and Oman, our joint venture in China, and our
other international operations will continue to thrive under
Jenny's leadership."

Since joining the company in 1997, Mr. Griffin has had
responsibility for a variety of functions and departments,
including sales, product management, marketing and international
operations.  He has more than 28 years of experience in the
building materials industry.

Ms. Scanlon joined USG in 2003 as the Director of Supply Chain
Management and Customer Relationship Management Strategy.  In
2007, she assumed responsibility for the company's Information
Technology strategy and operations until 2010, when she was
appointed Vice President, International.

"These organizational changes will facilitate the continued
implementation of USG's Plan to Win: Strengthening our core
manufacturing and distribution businesses in North America and
Diversifying the sources of our earnings, as we continue to
Differentiate USG through innovation," said Metcalf.  "We remain
confident that this is the right strategy and that we have the
right resources and people to successfully implement the
strategy."

Effective Oct. 1, 2013, Mr. Griffin will receive an annual base
salary of $535,000 in his position as executive vice president and
chief operating officer.  In addition, Mr. Griffin will be granted
an award of 10,000 restricted stock units under the Company's
Long-Term Incentive Plan.  This award of restricted stock will
vest 50 percent on the second anniversary of the date of grant and
50 percent on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, in each
case provided that Mr. Griffin remains employed by the Company
during the applicable period.

                       About USG Corporation

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

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

For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net
loss of $125 million on $3.22 billion of net sales, as compared
with a net loss of $390 million on $2.91 billion of net sales
during the prior year.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $3.68
billion in total assets, $3.64 billion in total liabilities and
$40 million in total stockholders' equity including noncontrolling
interest.

                            *     *     *

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

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

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

In the Sept. 10, 2013, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
upgraded the ratings of USG Corporation, including the company's
Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'B' from 'B-'.  The upgrade
reflects USG's improving profitability and credit metrics this
year and the expectation that this trend continues through at
least 2014.


VALERIE MARTIN: Court Tackles Absolute Priority Rule
----------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Michael G. Williamson in Tampa, Florida, issued a
memorandum opinion on absolute priority rule in an individual
chapter 11 debtor.  The Court adopted a "narrow view" of the
applicability of the absolute priority rule in individual Chapter
11 cases following the enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse
Prevention and Consumer Protection Act.  Under this view, Judge
Williamson said a plan cannot be confirmed unless either a non-
accepting class of unsecured creditors will be paid in full or the
debtor will not receive or retain any non-exempt pre-petition
property under the plan following confirmation.  The Plan filed by
the debtor, Valerie Ann Martin, allows her to keep three
investment properties following confirmation even though unsecured
creditors are not paid in full.  This violates the absolute
priority rule, Judge Williamson said, and confirmation will be
denied.

Ms. Martin filed this individual chapter 11 case (Bankr. M.D. Fla.
Case No. 13-00624) on Jan. 18, 2013.

As of confirmation, there was a total of $170,531.08 in unsecured
claims.  Cadles of Grassy Meadows II, LLC, holds $62,987.43 -- or
nearly 40% -- of those unsecured claims.  Ms. Martin proposed a
chapter 11 plan that would pay holders of general unsecured claims
(Class XIV) a total of $8,500 -- approximately a 5% distribution.

Of the five ballots cast by holders of Class XIV claims, four
voted to accept the Plan. So more than half the number of allowed
claims in Class XIV have voted to accept the Plan. But Cadles,
which holds nearly 40% of the amount of unsecured claims, did not
vote in favor of the plan, and as a consequence, Ms. Martin failed
to satisfy the requirement that at least two-thirds of the amount
of each class accept the plan.  That means Ms. Martin must "cram
down" the unsecured (Class XIV) creditors under 11 U.S.C. Sec.
1129(b) to confirm her plan.

Cadles, however, contends Ms. Martin cannot confirm her plan under
Sec. 1129(b) because the plan provides that she will retain three
investment properties following confirmation. During the course of
the case, Ms. Martin was able to either strip down or strip off
mortgages on these investment properties.

Ms. Martin was also able to successfully negotiate repayment terms
with the holders of the stripped-down mortgages that will allow
her to continue to rent these properties, service the remaining
secured debt, and benefit from any excess cash flow (as well as
future appreciation).

WALTER ENERGY: Moody's Rates Proposed Secured Notes 'B3'
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Walter Energy
Inc.'s proposed senior secured notes due 2019. Proceeds from the
proposed offering are expected to retire a portion of the
company's existing senior secured bank debt and add cash to the
balance sheet to improve liquidity. Moody's also affirmed the Caa1
Corporate Family Rating, Caa2 senior unsecured ratings, and
lowered the existing senior secured ratings to B3 from B2 to
reflect the increased level of secured debt in the capital
structure. Moody's intends to upgrade the short-term liquidity
rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4 following the completion of the
transaction. The rating outlook is stable.

Moody's Actions:

Issuer: Walter Energy, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Caa1

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Caa1-PD

$375 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2016,
Downgraded to B3 (LGD3 35%) from B2 (LGD3 31%)

$657 million Senior Secured Term Loan A due 2016, Downgraded to B3
(LGD3 35%) from B2 (LGD3 31%)

$350 million Senior Secured Notes due 2019, Assigned B3 (LGD3 35%)

79%)

$450 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021, Affirmed Caa2 (LGD5
79%)

Outlook, Stable

Moody's expects the metallurgical coal industry will remain weak
in the near-term, but recent production cuts have led to modest
tightening in the supply/demand balance of the industry and should
support fourth quarter benchmark pricing at or modestly above the
$145/ton level set for third quarter deliveries. The net impact of
recently-announced production cuts on the global market remains
quite modest at this point and unlikely to support sustained
meaningful price increases without a fundamental improvement in
demand from the steel industry. Domestic met coal producers
reliant on exports remain disadvantaged in the global seaborne
market and remain particularly vulnerable to cash burn in what
Moody's expects will continue to be a low price environment.

Upon closing in accordance with the terms and conditions as
described, Moody's intends to upgrade the short-term liquidity
rating SGL-3 from SGL-4 to reflect an improved cash position and
debt maturity profile. The SGL-3 would also acknowledge reduced
downside price risk owing to the modest improvement in market
conditions for metallurgical coal. Moody's expects Walter will
generate EBITDA in the $125-175 million range in 2013 with year-
over-year improvement starting in the fourth quarter of 2013. Free
cash flow is likely to remain negative in the near-term,
especially considering the decision to continue to operate the
Brule mine in western Canada because that will limit the company's
ability to reduce inventories in that region, but an effective
liquidity cushion of over $430 million provides sufficient cushion
to cover expected cash burn in the near-term. Moody's measures
effective liquidity as existing balance sheet cash of $171
million, plus added cash from the proposed transaction, plus
revolver availability of about $315 million after considering
letters of credit, less the $225 minimum liquidity requirement.
Moody's anticipates a modest cushion of compliance the net senior
secured leverage covenant upon resumption of testing in the second
quarter of 2014. Continued compliance through the end of 2014
likely will require additional improvement in met coal prices.

Ratings Rationale:

The Caa1 CFR reflects the difficulties of operating a commodity-
driven business in a protracted trough cycle environment with a
highly-leveraged balance sheet and a modest effective liquidity
cushion. The rating is also constrained by high operating risk
implied by high reliance on a few key coal mines for the majority
of earnings and cash flow, and limited trough-cycle margin
potential of the metallurgical coal assets in western Canada.
Success in implementing cost control programs, strong potential
earnings and cash flow on a mid-cycle basis, and the value of the
very cost competitive metallurgical coal assets in Alabama support
the rating.

The rating acknowledges a high level of capital structure activity
in recent quarters and anticipates that management will continue
to pursue transactions to bolster liquidity in the short-term, if
necessary. The company started relaxing covenants with an
amendment in August 2012, relaxed covenants and repaid secured
debt through a concurrent amendment and unsecured issuance in
November 2012, repaid additional secured debt and parked cash on
the balance sheet with the proceeds of another unsecured issuance
in March 2013, pulled a refinancing transaction in June 2013,
relaxed covenants significantly through an amendment in July 2013,
and has returned with the secured issuance to repay debt and park
more cash on the balance sheet through the proposed transaction.
Management has also made public statements about pursuing asset
sales and has capacity in its credit agreements to raise
additional debt for liquidity purposes. These activities could
drive volatility in instrument-level ratings.

The stable outlook anticipates that modest improvement in met coal
fundamentals will drive modest quarterly improvement in operating
results and that the company will maintain adequate liquidity to
support operations. Moody's could upgrade the rating with evidence
that recent positive momentum in spot met coal pricing will
translate into positive free cash flow on a sustained basis and a
demonstrated willingness to start to reduce debt. Moody's could
downgrade the rating with further deterioration in market
conditions or pricing, expectations for substantive erosion in the
company's cash position, or heightened concerns related to
upcoming loan amortization in 2015.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the 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.

Walter Energy, Inc. is primarily a metallurgical coal producer
with additional operations in metallurgical coke, steam and
industrial coal, and natural gas. Headquartered in Birmingham,
Alabama, the company generated $2 billion in revenue for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2013.


WALTER ENERGY: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating to $350MM Sr. Secured Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B'
issue-level rating to Walter Energy Inc.'s proposed $350 million
senior secured notes due 2019.  The issue level rating, which is
one notch above the corporate credit rating, and the '2' recovery
rating indicate S&P's expectation for a substantial (70% to 90%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  The corporate credit
rating remains 'B-' and the outlook is negative.

"Our 'B-' corporate credit rating on Walter Energy reflects our
view of the company's business risk profile as 'weak' and the
financial risk profile as 'highly leveraged', said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Marie Shmaruk.

According to public filings, the company intends to use proceeds
to repurchase up to $175 million of its term loan A through a
Dutch auction process.  If the Dutch auction is not fully
subscribed, the company could use the unused portion of the
$175 million to repurchase its term loan A and term loan B on a
pro rata basis.  The company will use the balance of the proceeds
for general corporate purposes.  S&P believes the proposed
transaction will enhance liquidity in the near term, though the
company will face meaningful debt amortization requirements in
2015 regardless of the results of the Dutch auction.

Key business and financial risks include continued weakness in the
company's key European markets, high reliance on a single Southern
Appalachian mining complex for most of its operating income, and
S&P's expectation for leverage to be above 10x EBITDA this year
and above 5x EBITDA in 2014.  Still, S&P maintains its view that
Walter Energy's coal reserves are of a very high quality and that
its mining costs are low compared with many of its peers.

WENTWOOD BAYTOWN: Files Amended 1st Modified Reorganization Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wentwood Baytown, L.P., filed with the Bankruptcy Court an Amended
First Modified Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, containing non-
material modifications and some updates.  The key provisions of
the Plan remain the same.

A full-text copy of the Amended Modified Plan dated Sept. 12, 2013
is available for free at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/WENTWOOD_Amd1stModPlanSept12.PDF

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the Plan
provides for the division of claims of creditors into nine
classes.  Class 1 Attorneys/Professional Claims estimated at
$48,000; Class 2 Taxing Authorities Claims estimated at about
$77,000; Class 3 Governmental Units Claims; and Class 5 Mechanic's
Liens Claims will be paid in full.  Class 4 Secured Lender Claim
will be paid in monthly installments with interest.  Existing pre-
payment terms continue unmodified, and monthly impounds for
property insurance and property taxes will continue to be made.
Class 6 General Unsecured Claims will be paid 20% of the allowed
claim in cash, estimated to total about $24,000.  Class 7
Unsecured Claims of $1,000 or less will have a 70% recovery, in
cash.  Class 8 Claims (Claims Not Secured by Lien or Security
Interest and Not Subject to Setoff) will be deemed allowed,
without setoff or counterclaim.  Class 9 Allowed Equity Interest
Holders will retain their interest.  The Debtor is in the process
of arranging funding for the Plan of Reorganization out of: (i)
new equity (in the form of mandatory and non-mandatory cash calls
on various limited partners); and (ii) collection of related party
receivables.

                 About Wentwood Baytown, L.P.

Wentwood Baytown, L.P., filed a Chapter 11 petition in Houston,
Texas (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 13-32151) on April 9.  The
petition was signed by Gary M. Gray as president of general
partner.  The Debtor estimated assets and debts of at least $10
million.  Judge Letitia Z. Paul presides over the case.  The
Debtor is represented by Matthew Hoffman, Esq., at Law Offices of
Matthew Hoffman, P.C.

The Debtor, which also uses the names Marina Club Apartments,
Briarwood Apartments, and The Dickinson Arms, owns properties in
Bayton and Dickinson, Texas.  The Debtor disclosed $14,599,753 in
assets and $14,813,172 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Judy A. Robbins, U.S. Trustee for Region 7, has notified the
Bankruptcy Court that she was unable to obtain a sufficient number
of eligible creditors interested in serving on the official
committee of unsecured creditors and has therefore been unable to
appoint a proper committee in the case.


WESTERN FUNDING: Harbor Structured's Members Seek Case Dismissal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Class B members of Harbor Structured Finance, LLC, the sole
shareholder of Western Funding Inc., filed a motion with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court seeking dismissal of the Debtor's chapter 11
case.

The Harbor Structured Finance Class B members noted in court
filings that WFI sought Chapter 11 almost immediately after the
Clark County District Court entered an order appointing a
receiver.  BMO Harris Bank N.A. sought appointment of a receiver
in state court, Case No. A-13 687299-B, for WFI's Eastern Funding
Incorporated.  Based on WFI's wrongful pre-petition acts that
included an intentional diversion of corporate funds to place
those funds beyond BMO Harris Bank's reach, the State Court heard
the Receivership Petition and entered the Receivership Order on
shortened notice.

The Harbor Structured Finance Class B members argue that the
Chapter 11 Petition is invalid because it is not authorized by a
valid corporate resolution.  The corporate resolution is invalid
because under the applicable organizational and operating
documents Fredrick A. Cooper and Katherine H. Cooper are not "all
of the members of the Board of Directors. . . of Western Funding
Incorporated" as they represented under penalty of perjury when
they signed the Petition.

The Harbor Structured Finance Class B members also contend that
WFI's proposed bankruptcy counsel was aware the Petition was not
approved by two of the four "Board of Managers" of Harbor
resulting in a corporate deadlock.  Before the Petition was filed,
WFI's attorney was also provided with a copy of the Court's recent
published opinion and was further informed of deadlock with
respect to a bankruptcy filing by WFI.

The Harbor Structured Finance Class B members said the timing of
WFI's filing is suspect.  Filed immediately after the State Court
entered the Receivership Order, the Harbor Structured Finance
Class B members said it appears the Petition was filed not to
administer WFI's assets but, instead, was timed to avoid the
Coopers' surrender of WFI to the receiver and hinder ongoing
disputes between the Coopers on the one hand and BMO Harris Bank,
$6,700,000 in subordinated debt holders, and the Class B Members
on the other hand.

The Harbor Structured Finance Class B members urge the Court to
dismiss this improperly filed bankruptcy case and reserve
jurisdiction to consider sanctions for the improper and
unauthorized filing.

Hearing on the motion is set for Oct. 17, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.

Z TRIM HOLDINGS: Sold 844,571 Common Shares to Brightline
---------------------------------------------------------
Z Trim Holdings, Inc., on Aug. 20, 2013, entered into a private
placement subscription agreement with Brightline Ventures I-C,
LLC, pursuant to which it sold 376,000 shares of its common stock,
for a price of $1.25 per share, and received gross proceeds of
$470,000.  Among its other terms, the subscription agreement for
the $1.25 Raise provides Brightline with "piggyback" registration
rights on certain registration statements that the Company may
file in the future.

On Sept. 18, 2013, the Company entered into another private
placement subscription agreement with Brightline, pursuant to
which it sold 468,571 shares of common stock for a price of $1.05
per share, along with warrants to purchase 234,286 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and received
gross proceeds of $492,000.  Among its other terms, the
subscription agreement for the $1.05 Raise provides Brightline
with "piggyback" registration rights on certain registration
statements that the Company may file in the future.  The warrants
may be exercised on a cashless basis.  Until exercised, the
warrants do not confer any voting or other rights as a stockholder
of the Company.  The exercise price and the number of shares of
common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants are
subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events, such
as stock dividends, distributions and splits.

The Company is using the net proceeds from the $1.25 Raise and the
$1.05 Raise for working capital needs and other general corporate
purposes.

Warrant Program

Contemporaneous with the $1.25, in August 2013, the Company (i)
allowed the holders of the Company's then-outstanding warrants
with a $1.50 per share exercise price with certain anti-dilution
provisions contained in the related warrant agreements to choose
to exercise their $1.50 Warrants on a cashless basis such that for
every ten $1.50 Warrants exercised, the holder received 4.5 shares
of common stock, (ii) sought a temporary waiver from the holders
of the $1.50 Warrants of the anti-dilution provisions in the
warrant agreements with respect to the Cashless Exercise Program
and potential capital-raising activities by the Company by
December 31, 2013, and (iii) asked the holders of the $1.50
Warrants to permanently amend the warrant agreements with respect
to certain ratchet provisions so as to reduce the derivative
liability the Company incurs as a result of those provisions in
the agreements.

The Cashless Exercise Program resulted in 7,172,751 of the $1.50
Warrants being converted into 3,227,742 shares of the Company's
common stock (including 5,718,750 $1.50 Warrants that were
converted by an affiliate of Brightline into 2,573,438 shares of
common stock).

As a result of the Aug. 20, 2013, transaction with Brightline,
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions in the $1.50 Warrants
that were not exercised as part of the Cashless Exercise Program,
the Company reduced the exercise price of those warrants to $1.25
per share and adjusted the number of shares issuable upon the
exercise of those warrants such that for every five warrants
owned, each remaining holder of $1.50 Warrants received one
additional warrant with an exercise price of $1.25.  Thus, the
Company issued an aggregate of 2,376,009 additional warrants at an
exercise price of $1.25 per share (including 2,316,597 additional
warrants that were issued to an affiliate of Brightline) to the
holders of $1.50 Warrants that were not exercised as part of the
Cashless Exercise Program.  The waiver was effective with regard
tot he $1.05 Raise; therefore, no additional warrants were issued
and no exercise price adjustments were made as a result of the
$1.05 Raise.

Following the above transactions, 14,256,056 of the $1.50 Warrants
remain outstanding, which now each have an exercise price of $1.25
per share.  The related warrant agreements, as amended, provide
for ratchet and anti-dilution adjustments as a result of certain
equity issuances below the then-current market price of the
Company's stock as opposed to issuances below the exercise price
of the warrants.

* Illinois Top Lawmakers Seek Paychecks Amid Pension Fight
----------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Harris, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that
Illinois's top two lawmakers are asking a judge to invalidate
Governor Pat Quinn's decision to veto salaries for the state's 177
legislators over their failure to resolve a $100 billion pension
funding shortfall.

According to the report, the governor struck more than $13 million
in lawmaker pay and expenditures from an appropriations bill in
July after Senate President John Cullerton and House Speaker
Michael Madigan let their chambers go out of session for the third
time in 11 months without resolving the shortfall, the worst among
the 50 states.

Accusing Quinn of breaching the doctrine of separation of powers,
the legislative leaders sued him and state Comptroller Judy Baar
Topinka on July 30, the report recalled.  State Court Judge Neil
H. Cohen in Chicago today engaged the parties' lawyers in two
hours of debate.

"Is it your position the governor is limited in his ability to use
the line-item veto?" he asked lawmakers' lawyer Richard
Prendergast, the report cited.

A governor can exercise that power, "as long as it doesn't create
unconstitutional results," the attorney said, the report further
cited.

Cohen repeatedly questioned Prendergast, as he did Quinn attorney
Steven F. Pflaum of Chicago-based Neal Gerber & Eisenberg LLP and
the state's chief deputy attorney general, Brent D. Stratton,
who's representing Baar Topinka, the report further related.

The case is Cullerton v. Quinn, 13-ch-17921, Cook County Circuit
Court, Chancery Division (Chicago).


* JPMorgan Said to Pay $900MM to Settle "London Whale" Probes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn Kopecki, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that JPMorgan
Chase & Co. is poised to pay about $900 million to settle U.S. and
U.K. claims that lax internal controls led the bank to provide
inaccurate information about last year's record trading loss to
the board, investors and regulators, people with knowledge of the
matter said.

According to the report, the bank is set to announce deals on
Sept. 19 with four regulators over its handling of the trades by
an employee known as the London Whale because his bets were so
large, the people said, requesting anonymity because talks were
private. Separately, the firm may also pay less than $80 million
to settle two watchdogs' probes tied to consumer lending
practices, two people said.

Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, whose pay was cut in half
last year after the board said he was partially responsible for
faulty oversight of the trades, told employees in a Sept. 17 memo
the bank is making an "unprecedented effort" to simplify its
business, overhaul controls and improve relations with regulators,
the report added. The firm has been beset by inquiries this year,
including the emergence last month of an investigation into its
hiring practices in Asia as well as criminal probes tied to
mortgage-bond sales and energy trading.

The package of penalties to be announced is a message to banks
"that regulators are going to really ratchet up the fines if the
organization is deemed too big to manage in order to get the
organization to simplify their structure," said Charles Peabody,
an analyst at Portales Partners LLC in New York, the report
further related.


* Fitch Updates For-Profit Hospital Operators' Recovery Analyses

* Moody's: Rising LT Interest Rates Dampen US Banks' Prospects
--------------------------------------------------------------
Low absolute interest rates, particularly short-term rates near
zero, combined with a rise in long-term rates, continue to dampen
US banks' earnings prospects, says Moody's Investors Service in
its new report "Interest Rates Throw Earnings Curve at US Banks."

"Despite an increase in US long-term interest rates during the
second quarter, low absolute interest rates, particularly short-
term rates near zero, continue to challenge US banks' earnings
prospects," said Moody's Senior Vice President Allen Tischler.
"Although we expect little impact on asset quality from the jump
in long-term rates, a sharper increase in the yield curve could be
more problematic."

Low short-term rates limit net-interest income, which makes up the
majority of revenue for most US banks, typically from 50%-75%,
says Moody's. The asset yields of US banks continue to re-price
downward, as they have over the past five years of low rates,
while banks have offset some of this decline through lower funding
costs. But with funding costs closer to zero, banks are struggling
to further reduce them, added the rating agency.

The recent long-term interest rate rise - the 10-year Treasury
yield has climbed about 100 basis points since the end of the
first quarter - is initially negative since rising rates have
slowed mortgage originations and hit security values.

Moody's said that in general, for core-funded banks declining
securities values are not a direct credit concern. Growing
unrealized losses on available-for-sale (AFS) securities, or
shrinking unrealized gains, are economically hedged to the extent
banks' non-interest-bearing deposits remain sizable when compared
to their securities portfolios. Moody's added that the increased
value of these deposits is not captured in US GAAP accounting.

In addition, for major US banks, whose unrealized securities
losses affect their Basel III capital, Moody's expects them to
hold a capital buffer against AFS portfolio unrealized losses.

Still, long-term rates remain low in historic terms, even with the
recent rise, and should not derail the improvement in net charge-
offs and non-performing assets that began to gain steam in 2010,
says Moody's. However, a more appreciable rise in long-term rates
would significantly increase the cost of mortgage loans and slow
the US housing recovery, undermining further improvements in
banks' asset quality, particularly related to residential real
estate.

                            *********

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
