AIRTRONIC USA: Wins Court Approval of Plan to Merge With GDSI
-------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Airtronic USA Inc., the largest woman-
owned small arms maker in the U.S., won court approval of its
bankruptcy reorganization plan, which calls for the company to
merge with Global Digital Solutions Inc.

According to the report, the restructuring plan, which will leave
Airtronic debt free, received a "strong majority" of creditors
voting in support of the plan, according to a statement Oct. 3.

"We're very grateful that the court has confirmed our
reorganization plan and that we can now proceed to finalize the
merger and have the bankruptcy case dismissed," Merriellyn Kett,
Airtronic's chief executive officer, who will continue serving as
CEO after the merger, said in the statement.  Airtronic, founded
in 1990, provides small arms and small arms spare parts to the
U.S. Defense Department, foreign militaries and law enforcement.

The report notes that products include grenade launchers, rocket-
propelled grenade launchers, grenade-launcher guns, flex machine
guns, grenade machine guns, rifles and magazines.  "This ruling
signals a major turning point in the evolution of both GDSI and
Airtronic," GDSI CEO Richard J. Sullivan said in the statement.
"It's been a long process getting to this point, but we think the
wait will prove to be worthwhile."

March 13, 2012.


ALION SCIENCE: Second Amendment to Employee Savings Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Alion Science and Technology Corporation amended the Alion Science
and Technology Corporation Employee, Savings and Investment Plan
by adopting the Second Amendment to the Plan dated as of Sept. 27,
2013.  In connection with the Amendment, Alion, the ESOP
Committee, and the Trustee decided to delay the transfer to the
Company of employee contributions for investment in the ESOP
component of the Plan and the related valuation of Alion's common
stock, until such time as the Company completes a refinancing of
existing indebtedness of the Company.  A copy of the Amendment is
available for free at http://is.gd/ugrdxi

                        About Alion Science

Virginia, is an employee-owned company that provides scientific
research, development, and engineering services related to

analysis.  Particular areas of expertise include communications,

Alion Science incurred a net loss of $41.44 million for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2012, a net loss of $44.38 million for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2011, and a net loss of $15.23 million for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $632.86 million in total

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in its annual report for the fiscal year ended
Sept. 30, 2012, "Our credit arrangements, including our unsecured
and secured note indentures and our revolving credit facility
include a number of covenants.  We expect to be able to comply
with our indenture covenants and our credit facility financial
covenants for at least the next twenty-one months.  If we were
unable to meet financial covenants in our revolving credit
facility in the future, we might need to amend the revolving
credit facility on less favourable terms.  If we were to default
under any of the revolving credit facility covenants, we could
pursue an amendment or waiver with our existing lenders, but there
can be no assurance that lenders would grant an amendment or
waiver.  In light of current credit market conditions, any such
amendment or waiver might be on terms, including additional fees,
increased interest rates and other more stringent terms and
conditions materially disadvantageous to us.  If we were unable to
meet these financial covenants in the future and unable to obtain
future covenant relief or an appropriate waiver, we could be in
default under the revolving credit facility.  This could cause all
amounts borrowed under it and all underlying letters of credit to
become immediately due and payable, expose our assets to seizure,
cause a potential cross-default under our indentures and possibly
require us to invoke insolvency proceedings including, but not
limited to, a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Flight Attendants Urge Bondi to Withdraw Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants on Oct. 4
disclosed that in the wake of the Oct. 1 announcement by Texas
Attorney General Greg Abbott that he would withdraw from the
lawsuit to block the merger of American Airlines and US Airways,
the flight attendants at American are calling on Pam Bondi and
attorneys general from five other states to do the same.

"Florida, particularly South Florida, is home to about 2,500
American flight attendants that are in need of good wages and long
term job security, but General Bondi is standing in the way of
that," said APFA President Laura Glading.  "Pam Bondi's
participation in the Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit
demonstrates a lack of understanding of what the merger means for
her constituents.  Everyone -- business travelers, tourists, and
airline employees -- stand to benefit from the new American.  We
were able to explain that to General Abbott in Texas and we'd like
to do the same in Florida."

Unable to compete with United and Delta, which had recently merged
with Continental and Northwest, respectively, American Airlines
was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November of 2011.  It is
clear that in order for American to be competitive, it needs to
merge with US Airways.  The merger plan has had the strong support
of employees at both companies since its inception.
Unfortunately, the US Department of Justice and attorneys general
from seven states and the District of Columbia filed an eleventh-
hour lawsuit to block the merger in August of this year.

The new American Airlines will offer consumers more destinations
and a better product.  It will also give flyers a third choice --
in addition to Delta and United -- for their travel needs.
Finally, the merger will provide much-needed job security for
approximately 100,000 employees nationwide, 11,650 of whom live in
Florida.

Members of Florida's congressional delegation sent a letter to
General Bondi urging her to support the merger.  The letter was
authored by Rep. Alcee Hastings and signed by Reps. Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, Ted Deutch, Lois Frankle, Frederica Wilson,
Joe Garcia, and Patrick E. Murphy.

                            About APFA

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, founded in
1977, represents the more than 16,000 active flight attendants at

agreements.  AMR, previously the world's largest airline prior to
mergers by other airlines, is the last of the so-called U.S.
legacy airlines to seek court protection from creditors.

AMR and US Airways Group, Inc., on Feb. 14, 2013, announced a
definitive merger agreement under which the companies will combine
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.

The antitrust suit is U.S. v. US Airways Group Inc., 13-cv-1236,
U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

AMERICAN AIRLINES: DoJ's Bid to Delay Antitrust Suit Rejected
-------------------------------------------------------------
A federal judge rejected the U.S. Department of Justice's request
to temporarily put on hold the agency's antitrust lawsuit to block
the $11 billion merger of American Airlines Inc. and US Airways
Group Inc.

In a two-page ruling, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S.
District Court in Washington, D.C., rejected the delay as
inappropriate, noting that the deadline to complete the merger is
Jan. 18, 2013, and that the amount of money at stake is
significant for both sides in the case.  The antitrust suit is
scheduled to go on trial on Nov. 25.

Due to the government shutdown, the Justice Department asked the
District Court to stay all proceedings until government spending
resumes but Judge Kollar-Kotelly ordered the trial to go ahead on
schedule and set another status hearing for Oct. 30, The Wall
Street Journal said.

"A stay at this point would undermine this schedule and delay the
necessary speedy disposition of this matter," Judge Kollar-
Kotelly wrote, USA Today reported.

Mark Ryan of the Justice Department's antitrust division said in
a two-page filing that the District Court's rejection of a delay
in the case would serve as authorization for lawyers to continue
working on it, according to the USA Today report.

"This is creating difficulties for the department to perform the
functions necessary to support its litigation efforts," the USA
Today cited Mr. Ryan as saying, adding that the department's
policy is to seek a stay in all pending civil litigation.

The government had sought a March 2014 trial in the case to give
lawyers time to prepare their arguments but the airlines asked
for a start in early November.

The Justice Department argues in its lawsuit that the merger
would leave four airlines controlling more than 80% of U.S. air
traffic and drive up prices.  But the carriers defended the deal,
arguing that it would benefit passengers by giving them more
choices and would generate more than $500 million a year in
benefits.

           Texas Atty. General Drops Antitrust Suit

In a related development, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said
his state was dropping out of the antitrust suit after gaining
pledges that the carriers will preserve jobs and service in
Texas.

During a news conference with Tom Horton, AMR's chief executive
officer, at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, the attorney general
said the carriers committed to continuing air service to 22 Texas
communities and keeping the company's headquarters in Texas for
three years, the Fort Worth Star Telegram reported.

Mr. Abbott said it was critical to receive assurances from the
carriers to protect the nearly 25,000 employees who work in Texas
and to maintain service to rural airports.

Meanwhile, Mr. Horton said he was pleased the carriers were able
to reach an agreement with Texas but would not say if they were
talking to other states or the Justice Department about
settlements.  He reiterated that the carriers were ready to
defend the merger in court, the news agency reported.

Under the agreement, the new American Airlines will maintain
scheduled daily service to more than 20 airports in Texas.  The
agreement also provides that Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport be maintained as a large hub airport for the merged
carriers and that the new company will maintain its headquarters
in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, according to a statement posted on
American Airlines' website.

"Texas has long played a lead role in our company's history, and
this agreement is assurance of our commitment to maintain and
enhance the outstanding levels of service and connectivity that
the new American will provide to the citizens of Texas," Mr.
Horton said in the Oct. 1 statement.

"This merger will enhance job security and career opportunities
for our combined Texas based employee base of nearly 25,000," he
said.  WSJ pointed out that AMR, which employs about 73,000
workers, is based in Fort Worth and has a major hub at DFW
airport.  The airline, according to WSJ, is an important employer
and taxpayer in the state.

The Texas Association of Business, an influential lobbying group
representing 3,000 employers and 200 local chambers of commerce,
said its board voted to support the airline merger and oppose the
federal lawsuit, the WSJ report said.

The US Airways Flight Attendants, represented by the Association
of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), also continue to advocate for the
vast opportunities created by a US Airways/American Airlines
merger as the Texas Attorney General formally withdrew from the
antitrust lawsuit.

Texas is one of the states that joined the Justice Department in
suing on Aug. 13 to stop the merger.  Arizona, Tennessee,
Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and the District of
Columbia were also part of the suit that is scheduled to go to
trial on Nov. 25.

             Antitrust Suit Produced Nearly 2-Mil. Docs

The antitrust suit has resulted in close to two million documents
being exchanged by the government and the carriers, according to
an article by Terry Maxon of Dallas Morning News.

The carriers have supplied more than 1.3 million documents to the
Justice Department, both before and after the agency's attorneys
filed the suit.  In return, Justice officials have supplied about
560,000 documents to the carriers, many of which are documents
originally produced by the carriers to the agency in prior
investigations.

The numbers came out of their joint filing prior to the Oct. 2
status conference before Judge Kollar-Kotelly in her Washington,
D.C., courtroom.

Unresolved are two demands from the carriers: (1) to know the
names of third parties that the Justice Department interviewed
before filing the suit, and (2) documents from the agency's
review of four previous airline mergers between 2005 and 2011,
according to the Dallas Morning News article.

WSJ reported that the Justice Department said it is allowed to
withhold information about whom it interviewed in its analysis of
AMR Corp.'s merger with US Airways, information the airlines are
seeking in their fight against a federal suit to block the deal.
In a court filing on Sept. 28, the Justice Department said U.S.
Supreme Court precedent protects the government from a "naked,
general, demand" for the facts the airlines want.  Such
information could "necessarily reveal the opinions and mental
processes of counsel, and therefore is improper," the government
said in the filing with U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.,
WSJ related.

US Airways and AMR want the information about third parties,
which they described as routine, to determine how the Justice
Department reached it decision to block the merger, the WSJ
report said.  Lawyers for the airlines said in their filing that
the Justice Department "has tried this tactic before" in
antitrust cases and lost each time, the WSJ report further
related.  The airlines cited three cases, including a 1999 suit
against AMR and subsidiary American Eagle that accused the
airlines of "predatory" pricing against low-cost carriers, the
report said.  AMR won that case, the report noted.

The antitrust case is U.S. v. US Airways Group Inc., 13-cv-01236,
U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Can't Shake States in Lawsuit as Texas Quits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's
decision to quit a U.S. lawsuit aiming to block the merger of
American Airlines and US Airways Group Inc. isn't shaking the
resolve of other states to press ahead with the case.

According to the report, the attorneys general of Florida,
Pennsylvania, Arizona, Virginia, Tennessee and the District of
Columbia are standing with the Justice Department and pursuing
their claims against the airlines, according to their offices.
"We're remaining in the case," Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman
for Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, said in an interview.
"There hasn't even been any discussion of dropping out."

The report notes that Texas, the home state of American parent AMR
Corp., reached a settlement with the airlines on Oct. 1 and
withdrew from the suit.  Abbott said the deal resolves his
objection to the merger by ensuring service for rural areas in the
state.  Texas was among seven states and the District of Columbia
that joined the Justice Department's lawsuit against the airlines.
They argue the proposed merger, which would create the world's
largest carrier, threatens competition and would harm consumers.

The report relates that the case is scheduled to begin trial in
federal court in Washington on Nov. 25.  Laura Glading, the
president of the union representing flight attendants at American,
said the union is urging other states to join Texas and drop out.
Ms. Glading met with Arizona's Horne on Oct. 3 about the case and
told him jobs are at risk if the merger doesn't go through.  US
Airways is based in Tempe, Arizona.  The union has also met with
District of Columbia Attorney General Irvin Nathan and Tennessee
Attorney General Robert Cooper, Ms. Glading said.  On Oct. 3 it
publicly called on Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to
drop out and next day pushed for Florida's Pam Bondi to quit.

"These AGs are not looking at the whole picture," Ms. Glading said
in a phone interview.  "American cannot survive as a standalone."

The case is U.S. v. US Airways Group Inc., 13-cv-01236, U.S.
District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Merger Termination Date Extended to 2014
-----------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. and US Airways Group Inc. have agreed to extend the
date at which either party may terminate the previously announced
merger agreement until 2014 in light of the trial schedule
surrounding litigation with U.S. Department of Justice.

In a joint statement, AMR CEO Tom Horton and US Airways CEO Doug
Parker said, "The Boards and management teams of AMR and US
Airways remain committed to completing this combination to create
the new American, and the extension of this outside date is a
reflection of this commitment."

"Our focus is on mounting a vigorous defense and winning our
court case so the new American can enhance competition, provide
better service to our customers and create more opportunities for
our employees," the CEOs said.

The amended merger agreement extends the date on which either AMR
or US Airways may terminate the agreement from Dec. 17 to the
later of Jan. 18, 2014, or, if the court enters an order on or
before Jan. 17, 2014 in favor of the carriers, on the 15th day
following the entry of such order.

In case of an unfavorable ruling by the court, the carriers may
terminate the merger agreement five days after the court enters a
final, but appealable, order permanently enjoining the merger.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Parties Balk at Proposed Plan Approval Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. and its debtor affiliates filed with Judge Sean Lane of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York a
notice of settlement of order confirming their Fourth Amended
Joint Chapter 11 Plan.

Judge Lane in September confirmed the Debtors' Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization, which is hinged on the proposed merger with U.S.
Airways Group.

The notice stated that parties-in-interest may file
counterproposals to the order.

Agencia Especial de Financiamento Industrial, a Brazilian bank
that funded the Debtors' regional carrier's Embraer jets, proposed
to revise some of the provisions in the proposed order confirming
AMR's plan.  The bank suggested, among other things, that a
language be added clarifying that its agreements with the airline
would not be deemed executory contracts.

AMR argued that the counterproposal is unnecessary since the
concerns raised by the Brazilian bank was already addressed.  AMR
also questioned the filing of the counterproposal given that the
bank never filed an objection to the confirmation of its
restructuring plan.  "FINAME has no standing to do so," AMR said.

AMR also asked the bankruptcy court to overrule an objection to
the confirmation of the plan filed by a group of American
Airlines customers represented by Calif.-based Cook Collection
Attorneys PLC.

The company said the group is trying to revisit the issues that
have already been addressed in previous agreements entered into
before the court, which are reflected in the proposed order.

According to AMR, the group's proposed revision of the order
regarding the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit
"seeks to inappropriately bootstrap their rights and completely
insulate the Clayton adversary proceeding from any impact the DOJ
Action may have."

The group on August 6 lodged an antitrust lawsuit to block the
$11 billion merger of American Airlines and US Airways Group Inc.
The group said the merger violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act
because it curbs competition and creates a monopoly.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Decision on Chicago Lease Due Jan. 31

AMR Corp. and the City of Chicago reached an agreement to extend
the deadline for the company to take over their lease contracts.

Under the deal, both sides agreed to extend the deadline to
January 31, 2014, or to the earlier of three business days after
the effective date of AMR's Chapter 11 reorganization plan.  The
deal is subject to bankruptcy court approval.

the plan does not occur by Oct. 31, 2013, the agreement will
become null and void.

The July 26 agreement required AMR to pay more than $11.7 million

As reported by the TCR on Jan. 22, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Boca Raton, Fla.-
based American Media Inc. to 'CCC+ ' from 'B-'.

"The downgrade conveys our expectation that continued declines in
circulation and advertising revenues will outweigh the company's
cost reductions, resulting in deteriorating operating performance,
rising debt leverage, and thinning discretionary cash flow," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst

AMNEAL PHARMACEUTICALS: Moody's Gives B2 CFR & Rates New Loan B2
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 Corporate Family rating
and a B2-PD Probability of Default Rating to Amneal
Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Amneal"). Moody's also assigned a B2 rating
to the company's proposed $475 million term loan, the proceeds of
which will be used to repay existing debt and fund a dividend to
Amneal's management and equity investors. This is the first time
that Moody's has rated Amneal. The outlook is stable.

Ratings assigned:

Corporate Family Rating at B2

Probability of Default Rating at B2-PD

Proposed senior secured term loan at B2 (LGD 4, 54%)

The outlook is stable.

Rating Rationale

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Amneal's modest scale in
the highly competitive generic pharmaceutical industry, as well as
industry-wide risks such as pricing pressure and supply
disruptions. In the context of these industry-wide risks, Moody's
views Amneal's leverage of approximately 5.0 times as being
relatively high. The B2 rating is also constrained by risks
related to the very rapid growth of a relatively young company and
the limited cash flow expected over the next couple of years due
to high expansion-related capital expenditures and Amneal's high
tax distributions (the company operates as an LLC). Despite the
limited expected cash flow, Moody's recognizes that Amneal is
investing significantly in R&D and manufacturing capabilities
which will drive longer-term growth and strengthen its competitive
position.

The ratings are supported by Amneal's significant manufacturing
capacity in the US and India, its diverse dosage-form development
and manufacturing capabilities, including in-house active
pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production, as well as the
company's proven ability to launch and supply difficult-to-
manufacture products. The company has a significant portfolio of
new drugs on file with the FDA and in development that will drive
future growth. The ratings are also supported by the company's
strong quality track record. Moody's notes that the company
currently has no material litigation risk.

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if Amneal expands revenue and
EBITDA through successful execution of its growth strategy. An
upgrade could be supported if the rating agency expects adjusted
debt to EBITDA to be sustained below 4.0 times and free cash flow
to be consistently positive despite significant investment in R&D
and growth capital expenditures.

The ratings could be downgraded if Moody's expects adjusted debt
to EBITDA to be sustained above 6.0 times. This could occur from
acquisitions, shareholder dividends or operating disruption from
supply issues or difficulty in getting new products approved and
launched. The weakening of liquidity due to an overly aggressive
growth strategy could also lead to a downgrade.

Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Amneal"), founded in 2002 and
headquartered in Bridgewater, NJ, is a generic pharmaceutical
manufacturer with facilities in New York, New Jersey, and India.
The company currently generates most of its revenue in the US but
is actively pursuing expansion into international generic markets.
Amneal recorded net revenue of $452 million for the twelve months
ended August 31, 2013.

period ended March 31, 2013.


ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE: Judge Randa Won't Recuse Self
-------------------------------------------------------
A federal judge refused to recuse himself from a lawsuit
involving a dispute over the ownership of funds held in the
Archdiocese of Milwaukee's cemetery trust.

"The Seventh Circuit, if not the Supreme Court, will be the final
word on the issues raised by the cemetery trust litigation,"
Judge Rudolph Randa of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin said in the order explaining his decision.
"The last thing this case needs is another decision by another
lower court federal judge before it reaches the Seventh Circuit."

Earlier, creditors of the archdiocese asked Judge Randa to recuse
himself from the lawsuit, arguing he has relatives buried in
archdiocesan cemeteries which could have influenced his previous
ruling that allowed the archdiocese to set up a separate trust
fund for the maintenance of those cemeteries.

At issue in the lawsuit is whether $50 million or more held in
the cemetery trust can be used to fund settlements with victims
of sex abuse committed by priests.

Judge Randa ruled late in July that the maintenance of the
cemeteries through the funds is a "fundamental tenet of the
Catholic faith" and that forcing the archdiocese to tap those
funds would burden its free exercise of religion under the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.

Creditors have protested the ruling, saying Judge Randa had a
financial interest in the outcome of the litigation.  They also
sought for the release of documents showing any links between the
archdiocese's cemeteries and the judge, which the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin granted in August.

The archdiocese's lawyers opposed the creditors' bid to remove the
judge, saying it was "a thinly disguised attempt to shop for a new
district court judge" who would be more favorably disposed to
their claims, according to a report by the Catholic Culture.

The lawyers argued that the notion that a judge should be
disqualified because his relatives are buried in Catholic
cemeteries would, if pressed, "impermissibly impose a religious
test on this judge," according to the report.

The archdiocesan lawyers also denied that Judge Randa has
financial interest in the cemeteries, pointing out that the issue
is moot because the case is already headed to the 7th Circuit
U.S. Court of Appeals, according to another report by the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The cases before the court are Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki, as
Trustee of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic Cemetery
Perpetual Care Trust, Plaintiff, v. Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, Defendant; Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors, Counterclaimant, v. Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki, as

ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE: Church Alerted Police In Abuse Cases
--------------------------------------------------------------
Documents released by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee show that
church officials reported sex-abuse complaints to local police in
some cases but prosecutors rarely pressed charged, the Catholic
Culture reported.

The archdiocesan files show that although Church leaders have
been frequently criticized for failing to report abuse to civil
authorities, many cases were reported.

Among the 42 priests whose files were released in July under the
terms of an agreement in bankruptcy court, 28 were reported to
local police or prosecutors.  In five of the remaining cases, the
victims were not willing to go to police or the accused priests
were deceased at the time the allegations were made, the news
agency reported.

ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE: Future Claimants' Representative Named
----------------------------------------------------------------
A bankruptcy judge appointed Stephen Gray of Deloitte Financial
Advisory Services as legal representative for future claimants of
the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

In a Sept. 20 decision, Judge Susan Kelley of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin appointed Mr. Gray, a
director at Deloitte FAS, to represent sex abuse victims who may
file claims against the archdiocese.

The bankruptcy judge also authorized Mr. Gray --
stgray@deloitte.com -- to utilize the services of Deloitte
personnel in connection with the performance of his duties.

The services to be provided by the legal representative include
estimating the size of claims that may be filed, and advocating
for the proper treatment of those claims under a Chapter 11 plan.

Mr. Gray and his firm will be paid an hourly rate of $375 to
$695.  His fees are subject to a cap of $125,000, according to
Judge Kelley's order.

The bankruptcy judge appointed Mr. Gray despite an objection from
the archdiocese's official committee of unsecured creditors.

The group called the appointment as "premature" because the
archdiocese has not yet proposed a reorganization plan, which,
the group, said would be "unconfirmable" in light of its
administrative insolvency or illiquidity.  It also argued that
the class of creditors described by the archdiocese in its
application cannot be estimated by a legal representative for
future claimants.

BBX CAPITAL: Bluegreen Closes Sale of $110.6MM Loan-Backed Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
BBX Capital Corporation holds a 46 percent equity interest in
Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, which owns 100 percent of Bluegreen
Corporation.

On Sept. 26, 2013, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale
of approximately $110.6 million of investment-grade, timeshare
loan-backed notes.  The 2013-A Term Securitization consisted of
the issuance of two tranches of timeshare loan-backed notes:
approximately $89.1 million of Class A and $21.5 million of Class
B notes with note interest rates of 3.01 percent and 4.00 percent,
respectively, which blended to an overall weighted average note
interest rate of approximately 3.20 percent.  The gross advance
rate for this transaction was 93.75 percent.  The Notes mature on
Dec. 4, 2028.  BB&T Capital Markets acted as the bookrunner,
structuring agent and co-lead manager and Barclays Capital Inc.
acted as co-lead manager.  Both BB&TCM and Barclays acted as
initial purchasers.

The amount of the timeshare receivables sold to BXG Receivables
Note Trust 2013-A was approximately $118 million, approximately
$95.4 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and
approximately $22.6 million is expected to be sold to the Trust
prior to Dec. 26, 2013.  The gross proceeds of those sales to the
Trust are anticipated to be approximately $110.6 million.  A
portion of the proceeds received to date were used to: repay
Branch Banking and Trust Company approximately $39.3 million,
representing all amounts outstanding under Bluegreen's existing
purchase facility with BB&T; repay Liberty Bank approximately $9.7
million under Bluegreen's existing facility with Liberty Bank;
capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated
with the transaction.

Prior to the closing of the 2013-A Term Securitization, Bluegreen,
as servicer, funded approximately $15.4 million in connection with
the servicer redemption of the notes related to BXG Receivables
Note Trust 2004-C/BXG Receivables Note Trust 2005-A, and certain
of the timeshare loans in those trusts were sold to the Trust in
connection with the 2013-A Term Securitization.  The remainder of
the gross proceeds from the 2013-A Term Securitization of
approximately $43 million, of which approximately $21.2 million
will be received as the aforementioned approximately $22.6 million
of timeshare receivables are sold to the Trust, are expected to be
used for general corporate purposes.  As a result of the facility
repayments, immediately after the closing of the 2013-A Term
Securitization, (i) there were no amounts outstanding under the
BB&T Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding
receivable-backed borrowings of $40 million on a revolving basis
through Dec. 17, 2013, and (ii) there was approximately $14.1
million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which allows
for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50
million on a revolving basis through March 1, 2015.  Thus,
additional availability of approximately $48.8 million in the
aggregate was created under the BB&T Purchase Facility and Liberty
Bank Facility.

While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the 2013-
A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes,
the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a
secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes.  As a result,
no gain or loss was recognized by Bluegreen in connection with the
transaction.

The agreement was entered among Timothy W. O'Neal on behalf of the
U.S. Trustee; Gerald P. Urbach, Esq., at Hiersche, Hayward,
Drakeley & Urbach on behalf of the Debtor; and Larry A. Levick,
Esq., on behalf of David Adams, Don Chiles, Karen Misko, trustee
for the Morgan Michelle Misko Trust for 6812 Francesca Lane, Bill
Loughborough, Teresa Loughborough, Mark Smith Custom Homes, Inc.,
Peckham Custom Builders, Ltd., Mark Pitts.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 24, 2013,
the U.S. Trustee sought appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee,
conversion of the Debtor's case to a chapter 7 liquidation, or
outright case dismissal.  The U.S. Trustee argued that the case
appears to be a continuation of the control dispute between Sandy
Golgert and Phillip Pourchot and not for any financial
rehabilitative purpose.  The ongoing dispute negatively affects
the creditors, the estate and the homeowners.

Golgert and Pourchot are 50/50 owners of the Debtor.  They
apparently were involved in a relationship and the Debtor's
operations suffered when the parties' relationship deteriorated.
They were subsequently involved in a state court litigation over
control of the Debtor.  The Phillip M. Pourchot Revocable Trust
and Starside LLC then acquired and accelerated the Debtor's
secured debt and initiated foreclosure actions against the Debtor.

The U.S. Trustee noted that the Pourchot Entities sought dismissal
of the case, citing the filing by Golgert was without proper
authorization.  The Pourchot Entities later withdrew the Motion to
Dismiss, but thereafter filed a Motion to Appoint a Chapter 11
Trustee.

The Pourchot Entities, the U.S. Trustee, also objected to the
employment of the Debtor's proposed counsel, saying that the
counsel represented Golgert individually pre-bankruptcy.

The U.S. Trustee also indicated that at the Sept. 6, 2013
creditors' meeting, Golgert admitted to signing affidavits and
other documents stating all bills and invoices had been paid on
certain homes when in fact all bills and invoices had not been
paid and to submitting false documents and draw requests regarding
certain homes.

Caesars Entertainment carries a 'CCC' long-term issuer default
rating, with negative outlook, from Fitch and a 'Caa1' corporate
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
Entertainment Corporation to SGL-3 from SGL-2, reflecting
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.

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

CEL-SCI CORP: Has Until Oct. 31 to Regain NYSE Listing Compliance
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CEL-SCI Corporation on Oct. 4 disclosed that the NYSE MKT has
granted the Company an extension until October 31, 2013 to regain
compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards.  The
Exchange initially granted the Company until September 30, 2013 to
regain compliance after accepting the Company's plan on August 30,
2013 to bring itself into compliance.

The Company previously received notice from the Exchange on
July 18, 2013, indicating that the Company is not in compliance
with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Exchange's continued listing
standards in the Company Guide.

The Company will continue to be subject to periodic review during
the extension period.  Failure to make progress consistent with
the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing
standards by the end of the extension period could result in the
Company being delisted from the NYSE MKT.

CHESTER COMMUNITY: Fitch Rates $56-Mil. Revenue Bonds at 'BB'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed Chester Community Charter School's (CCCS)
$56.115 million revenue bonds, issued by the Delaware County
Industrial Development Authority, PA (DCIDA) on Rating Watch
Negative. The bonds are rated 'BB'.

Security

The bonds are secured by pledged revenues of CCCS, backed by a
mortgage on the property and facilities leased by the school and a
debt service reserve (DSR) cash-funded to transaction maximum
annual debt service (TMADS) of $4.1 million due in 2013. Payments
to CSMI, LLC (CSMI) are subordinated to the payment of debt
service and the maintenance of a fully funded DSR.

Placement on Rating Watch Negative

On Aug. 30, 2013, Fitch published a press release relating to a
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Auditor General's Performance Audit
for CCCS. At the time of publishing Fitch had not received a
response from the school's charter authorizer, Chester Upland
School District (the authorizer, CUSD) regarding their assessment
of the impact the audit (presented on Aug. 20, 2013) on CCCS'
operations.

Subsequently, Fitch received notice from CUSD on Oct. 2, 2013 that
it will be reviewing the audit and its 11 findings. CUSD, by way
of a court appointed receiver, is currently assessing the impact
of the auditor's findings and will publicize the resulting
decision, once the review is completed. These findings include the
implication that certain funds were received from the state that
may need to be paid back. CCCS' management has previously rebutted
the findings as frivolous and without basis.

The Rating Watch Negative reflects uncertainty surrounding the
potential actions by the charter authorizer regarding the audit.
Fitch is in the process of evaluating the credit implications, if
any, of the report on CCCS' operations and credit fundamentals. As
part of Fitch's evaluation, the authorizer was contacted to
ascertain the possible consequences to the charter renewal as a
result of the findings.

Fitch will monitor the actions taken as a result of the CUSD's
evaluation of the audit. In Fitch's opinion there is limited
upside to the school if the findings are null, but a negative view
of the findings may be detrimental to CCCS' operations and
finances, especially if the charter is impacted.


CHINA PRECISION: To Report $69 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2013
--------------------------------------------------------------
China Precision Steel, Inc., disclosed in a regulatory filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that current assets
declined by approximately $59 million, or 51 percent, year-on-
year, to approximately $56 million as of June 30, 2013.  In
addition, net loss increased by approximately $52 million, to
approximately $69 million for the year ended June 30, 2013,
compared to approximately $17 million for the year ended June 30,
2012.  The increase in net loss is attributable to a combination
of the factors, including a material decline in sales revenues, a
negative gross profit margin, and a substantial allowance for bad
and doubtful debts.

The Company was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense,
able to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2013, by Sept. 30, 2013.  The Company anticipates
that it will file its Form 10-K within the "grace" period provided
by Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-25.

ended June 30, 2012, and defaulted on interest and principal
repayments of bank borrowings that raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern.


COMMUNITY CHOICE: Moody's Affirms 'B3' Sr. Secured Debt Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Community Choice
Financial, Inc. ("CCFI," Corporate Family Rating and senior
secured debt at B3). The outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The ratings of CCFI reflect the company's efficient operations, as
shown by the company's superior operating margins compared with
rated peers, as well as ongoing solid demand for its product
offerings, and effective management team. Balancing these positive
attributes are key leverage and debt service metrics below the
median for rated peers, significant geographic concentrations and
the intensified regulatory environment for its core payday loan
product at both the state and federal levels.

Based in Dublin, Ohio, CCFI is a financial services retailer
serving the underbanked consumer. As of June 30, 2013, the company
had 492 stores located in 15 states in the U.S. and had an
internet presence in 22 states.


CRYOPORT INC: Investors Convert $4.1MM Notes for 20.6MM Units
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cryoport, Inc., entered into definitive agreements for the
conversion of certain outstanding unsecured convertible promissory
notes held by certain institutional and accredited investors
pursuant to the offer letter from the Company and Letters of
Tender and Exchange submitted by the Investors.

Pursuant to the Exchange Documents, the Investors converted an
aggregate of $4,127,202 of outstanding principal and interest
under the Notes into 20,636,011 units at a price of $0.20 per
Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock
of the Company and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.  The
warrants are exercisable beginning on March 31, 2014, and have a
term of five years from date of issuance.  The aggregate amount
converted includes $101,945 and $202,740 of outstanding principal
and interest under Notes respectively held by Richard G. Rathmann,
a director, and GBR Investments, LLC, in which Mr. Rathmann is the
manager.

Emergent Financial Group, Inc., served as the Company's placement
agent in connection with the original placement of the unsecured
convertible promissory notes and earned a commission of 9 percent
of the original principal balance of those notes, or $338,382 at
the time of the original issuance of those notes and was issued a
warrant to purchase 1,911,259 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.20 per share upon the conversion of those
notes.  Emergent Financial Group, Inc., did not receive any
compensation with respect to the Notes issued to Richard G.
Rathmann or GBR Investments, LLC, or the conversion of those
Notes.

In addition, two directors, Stephen Wasserman and Richard G.
Rathmann, elected to convert $20,000 and $24,556, respectively, of
outstanding board of director fees owed to them by the Company
into 100,000 and 122,778 Units, respectively, at the same exchange
rate and on the same terms as provided to the Investors.

reliable alternatives to currently existing products and services
utilized for bio-pharmaceuticals and biologics, including in-vitro

requiring a reliable frozen solution.

KMJ Corbin & Company LLP, in Costa Mesa, California, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred recurring operating
losses and has had negative cash flows from operations since
inception.  Although the Company has cash and cash equivalents of
$563,104 at March 31, 2013, management has estimated that cash on
hand, which include proceeds from convertible bridge notes
received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, will only be
sufficient to allow the Company to continue its operations into
the second quarter of fiscal 2014.  These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

Cryoport incurred a net loss of $6.38 million for the year ended
March 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $7.83 million for
the year ended March 31, 2012.  The Company's balance sheet at
June 30, 2013, showed $1.66 million in total assets, $4.68 million
in total liabilities and a $3.02 million total stockholders'
deficit.

additional 15 percent of the common stock of the Company on a
fully diluted basis, at an exercise price of $0.50 per common
share.  Both series of warrants expire on Oct. 2, 2019.  The
Investors will have immediate voting rights equal to the voting
power, in the aggregate, of the common shares underlying each
class of warrants, as a result of the issuance by the Company of a
new class of Series C Voting Preferred Stock with nominal economic
rights.  All of the assets of Cubic Asset, LLC, are being pledged
as collateral for the notes, with the Lenders having a first lien
position on the assets of Cubic Asset, LLC, its parent Cubic Asset
Holding, LLC, and assets of the Company.  The Lenders will also

being transformed into a term note, with interest being charged at
the prime rate plus 2 percent and maturing in thirty six months;
and, for the development of the Cubic Louisiana, LLC, assets and
upon certain other conditions, WFEC has agreed to extend up to
$10,000,000, in the sole discretion of WFEC, in a revolving credit
line to Cubic Louisiana, LLC, with such revolving credit line
bearing interest at the prime rate plus 2 percent and maturing in
thirty-six months.  All of the assets of Cubic Louisiana, LLC, are
being pledged as collateral, and WFEC will have the first lien
position on the Cubic Louisiana, LLC assets.

said, "These acquisitions immediately improve Cubic Energy's
financial structure by providing the Company with an improved
asset base and exposure to the potential of higher liquids
production in the future, and give management the opportunity to
provide steady growth in shareholder value.  The Company's board
of directors and management have worked diligently for over two
years to create this strategic diversity that focuses on growth in

year ended June 30, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has experienced recurring net losses from operations and
has uncertainty regarding its ability to meet its loan obligations
which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred a
net loss of $4.39 million on $3.01 million of total revenues, as
compared with a net loss of $8.84 million on $5.99 million of
total revenues for the same period a year ago.  The Company's
balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $17.24 million in total
assets, $28.88 million in total liabilities, all current, and a
$11.63 million total stockholders' deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Our debt to Wells Fargo, with a principal amount of $25,865,110,
is due on March 31, 2013, and the Wallen Note, with a principle
amount of $2,000,000, is due April 1, 2013, and both are
classified as current debt.  As of December 31, 2012, we had a
working capital deficit of $26,312,271.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay
interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our
ability to obtain additional debt and/or equity financing, which
is subject to economic and financial factors beyond our control.
Our business will not generate cash flow from operations
sufficient to pay our obligations to Wells Fargo and under the
Wallen Note.  We may be required to adopt one or more
alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or
obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous
or highly dilutive.  Our ability to refinance our indebtedness
will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition in
the immediate future, as well as the value of our properties. We
may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in
these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a
default on our debt and have an adverse effect on the market price
of our common stock.

"We may not be able to secure additional funds to make the
required payments to Wells Fargo.  If we are not successful, Wells
Fargo may pursue all remedies available to it under the terms of
the Credit Facility including but not limited to foreclosure on
our assets or force the Company to seek protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws.  If either of those were to occur, our
shareholders might lose their entire investment," the Company said
in its quarterly report for the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.

"We will continue negotiating with Wells Fargo and Mr. Wallen to
either payoff or paydown these debts and extend their respective
maturity dates," the Company added.


CUI GLOBAL: Unit Buys Corporate Office for $5.1 Million
-------------------------------------------------------
CUI Global, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, CUI Properties, LLC,
closed on the purchase of the Company's Tualatin, Oregon,
corporate office real estate located at 20050 SW 112th Avenue in
the Tualatin Franklin Business Park.  The purchase price for this
acquisition was $5,050,000.  The purchase was funded, in part, by
a promissory note payable to Wells Fargo Bank in the amount of
$3,693,750 plus interest at the rate of 2.0 percent above LIBOR,
payable over ten years.  It was secured by a deed of trust on the
purchased property which was executed by CUI Properties, LLC and
guaranteed by CUI Global, Inc.  In conjunction with the purchase,
the parties to this transaction entered into a Swap Transaction
Confirmation agreement effective Oct. 1, 2013, incorporating the
terms and definitions of the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. (ISDA) that effectively maximizes the annual
interest rate at 6.27 percent.

Subsequent to the May 2008 CUI asset acquisition, CUI Global,
Inc., leased the Tualatin corporate office property.  The purchase
of this real estate not only reduces corporate office expenses,
but will create an investment in the real estate property utilized
by the company.

On Sept. 27, 2013, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CUI,
Inc., closed on a two year revolving Line of Credit (LOC) with
Wells Fargo Bank in the principal amount of four million dollars,
($4,000,000).  The interest rate on any outstanding balance is
1.75 percent above either the daily one month LIBOR or the LIBOR
in effect on the first day of the applicable fixed rate term.  The
LOC is secured through a security agreement on accounts receivable
and equipment, as well as other miscellaneous personal property
assets. CUI Global, Inc., the parent company, is a payment
guarantor of the LOC.

This revolving LOC effectively satisfies in full and terminates
the earlier LOC with Wells Fargo Bank.

                          About CUI Global

Tualatin, Ore.-based CUI Global, Inc., formerly known as Waytronx,
Inc., is a platform company dedicated to maximizing shareholder
value through the acquisition, development and commercialization

$19.95 million in total liabilities and $69.95 million in total
stockholders' equity.

As reported by the TCR on April 8, 2011, Webb & Company, in
Boynton Beach, Florida, expressed substantial doubt about CUI
Global's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has a net loss of $7,015,896, a
working capital deficiency of $675,936 and an accumulated deficit
of $73,596,738 at Dec. 31, 2010.  Webb & Company did not include a
"going cocern qualification" in its report on the Company's 2011
financial results.

DEVONSHIRE PGA: Files Ch. 11 Plan & Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------
Devonshire PGA Holdings, LLC, et al., filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware their Joint Chapter
11 plan of reorganization and accompanying disclosure statement.

The Plan, while prepared jointly, constitutes four separate plans
for each Debtor entity.  The Plan is a pre-negotiated plan, which
means the terms of the Plan were negotiated before the Debtors
sought bankruptcy protection.  The Plan is the result of
negotiations by and among the Debtors, their secured lenders, ELP
West Palm, LLC, and HJSI Devonshire II, LLC.

Under the Plan, ownership and control of the Debtors will be
transferred to ELP.  The Plan provides for the payment and full
satisfaction of all Allowed Claims, including Allowed
Administrative, Priority Tax, Other Priority and General Unsecured
Claims.  The Plan also provides that the Holder of the Allowed
HJSI-II, LLC Secured Claim, in partial satisfaction and discharge
of and in exchange for the Allowed HJSI-II, LLC Secured Claim,
will receive a payment in the aggregate total amount of
$3,000,000.  Further, the Holder of Allowed ELP Secured Claims, in
partial satisfaction of and in exchange for the Allowed Claims and
the Mezz Payment, will receive 100% of the Interests in
Reorganized Holdings.

HJSI-II, LLC and ELP, as the only creditors entitled to vote on
the Plan, and they intend to vote in favor of acceptance of the
Plan.

The Debtors have asked the Bankruptcy Court for permission to
begin solicitation of votes on the Plan and schedule a combined
hearing on the approval of the Disclosure Statement and
confirmation of the Plan on or about Nov. 4, 2013.  The Debtors
also asked that the voting and objection deadline be set for
Oct. 22.  A hearing to consider approval of the proposed
confirmation dates will be held on Oct. 16, at 11:00 a.m. (ET).
Any objections to the proposed dates must be submitted on or

                   About Devonshire PGA Holdings

Operators of assisted living facilities, led by Devonshire PGA
Holdings LLC, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Wilmington, Delaware on Sept. 19, 2013.

Chatsworth PGA Properties (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-12457)
has estimated liabilities of between $100 million and $500
million, and assets of up to $10 million.  Chatsworth PGA
Properties provides assisted living services for the elderly.  It
also offers nursing and dementia care.

Devonshire PGA Holdings LLC (Case No. 13-12460), the owner of an
assisted-living facility in Florida, and based in Palm Beach
Gardens, estimated under $50,000 in assets and up to $50 million
in debts.  Another entity, Devonshire at PGA National LLC,
estimated more than $100 million in both assets and debt.


DEVONSHIRE PGA: Seeks to Assume Plan Support Agreement
------------------------------------------------------
Devonshire PGA Holdings, LLC, et al., seek authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to assume the
restructuring, lockup, and plan support agreement, dated Sept. 17,
2013, entered into with ELP West Palm, LLC, as senior lender.

The Debtors' counsel, M. Blake Cleary, Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, states, "The RSA
is the lynchpin of the Debtors' consensual restructuring.  The RSA
is the result of negotiations between the Debtors and the only
parties entitled to vote on the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization of Devonshire PGA Holdings, LLC and its
Subsidiaries, ELP, the senior creditor of the Operating Debtors
and HJSI Devonshire II, LLC, the holder of the secured claim
against Holdings and the sole member of Holdings as a result of a
foreclosure sale on September 12, 2013.  The RSA serves as the
roadmap for the Debtors' efficient, expeditious, and successful
emergence from chapter 11.  The RSA has been made possible by the
Debtors' and their primary stakeholders' collective realization
that the company is in need of a comprehensive restructuring and a
chapter 11 without a consensual deal risks erosion of the value of
the estates."

Pursuant to the Plan, which incorporates the terms of the RSA, the
only classes entitled to vote thereon are ELP and HJSI-II.  All of
each Debtors' other valid creditors will be paid in full.

According to Mr. Cleary, both the Debtors and their secured
lenders feared that a free-fall into bankruptcy would disrupt the
expectations of the Debtors' residents and hamper the prospects
for a successful reorganization.  Instead, the Parties negotiated
the RSA because it maximizes the opportunity to capture the value
of the Debtors' business with minimal disruption to the Debtors'
residents and creditors, Mr. Cleary tells the Court.  The
collective goal of the Parties is that the Debtors can effectuate
a financial restructuring with virtually no impact on day-to-day
operations.

A hearing on the Debtors' request will be held on Oct. 16, 2013,

DEVONSHIRE PGA: Seeks to Self-Report in Lieu of PCO Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------------
Devonshire PGA Holdings, LLC, et al., seek permission from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to self-report
in lieu of the appointment of a patient care ombudsman pursuant to
Section 333 of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent that any of the Debtors' businesses are deemed to be
"health care businesses," Section 333 provides the Court with the
discretion not to appoint a patient care ombudsman if "such
ombudsman is not necessary for the protection of patients under
the specific facts of the case."

M. Blake Cleary, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, asserts that, given the facts of the
Debtors' cases, the appointment of a patient care ombudsman is not
necessary for the protection of patients.  As an initial matter,
the Debtors' businesses are not traditional healthcare businesses,
as only a small portion of their activities relate to the actual
provision of health care services and those activities are
conducted solely through Debtor Chatsworth National.  The Debtors,
according to Mr. Cleary, are an independent organization and the
licensed operator of a continuing care retirement community.  In
addition, the residents at the CCRC that could be considered
patients are adequately protected because several entities and
programs, including the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and
the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, already provide
significant oversight of the health and well-being of the
patients, Mr. Cleary further asserts.

In addition, the Debtors seek to confirm these cases on an
expedited basis.  They have filed a proposed plan and disclosure
statement which has been agreed to by their sole impaired
creditor.  Mr. Cleary says the Debtors are willing to agree to
self-report the information necessary to assess the state of
patient care to the Court, the Office of the United States Trustee
for the District of Delaware, and the applicable state regulators.

A hearing on the Debtors' request will be on Oct. 16, 2013, at
11:00 a.m. (ET).  Objections are due Oct. 9.

The Debtors are also represented by Sean M. Beach, Esq., Robert F.
Poppiti, Jr., Esq., and Justin P. Duda, Esq., at YOUNG CONAWAY

DEVONSHIRE PGA: Taps Epiq as Claims & Noticing Agent

Kathryn Mailloux, director of consulting of Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions, LLC, assured the Court that the firm is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any interest adverse
to the Debtors and their estates.  Prior to the Petition Date, the
Debtors provided Epiq a retainer in the amount of $10,000.  Epiq
seeks to first apply the Retainer to all prepetition invoices, and
to retain any unapplied portion of as a retainer throughout the
pendency of the cases.

Health Care Services, LLC, and (ii) Devonshire and SHP Senior

DEVONSHIRE PGA: Needs to Pay $11,796 to Credit Card Provider
------------------------------------------------------------
Devonshire PGA Holdings, LLC, et al., seek authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to pay obligations
owing to FIA Card Services, N.A., in connection with Devonshire
and Chatsworth National's corporate credit card agreements.  As of
the Petition Date, there is approximately $11,796 in prepetition
charges outstanding and owed to FIA.

Access to the cards allows the cardholders to effectively and
promptly execute their job functions without the need to incur
corporate expenses at their own account, and in most instances,
incurring corporate expenses individually would work a significant
hardship on the employees using the cards.  Accordingly, the
Credit Card Agreements are essential to the Debtors' business.

The Debtors have been advised by FIA that unless arrangements are
immediately made to satisfy the Prepetition Claim, FIA will
terminate the Credit Card Agreements.  For this reason, the
Debtors assert that there exists a critical need for approval of
their request.

A hearing on the request will be on Oct. 16, 2013, at 11:00 a.m.
(ET).  Objections are due Oct. 9.

DREIER LLP: Chapter 11 Trustee Hires RCT as Special Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sheila M. Gowan, the Chapter 11 trustee of Dreier LLP, seeks
permission from the Hon. Stuart M. Bernstein of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to employ
Reid Collins & Tsai LLP as special counsel, nunc pro tunc to
Sept. 19, 2013.

Through partner Mr. J. Benjamin King, RCT will participate in the
continued litigation of the Westford/Amaranth actions.  Mr. King
represented the Trustee in the Westford/Amaranth actions since
their inception, and the Trustee believes that it is in the best
interests of the Dreier LLP estate that Mr. King continues to
serve litigation counsel with respect to the Westford/Amaranth
matters.  The scope of the representation will not include any
other matters relating to the Chapter 11 estate.

RCT will be compensated on an hourly basis for its work on the
Westford/Amaranth actions.  Mr. King's rate will be $500 per hour,
below his normal rate of $675 per hour for those matters he
handles in New York City.  RCT associates' rates normally range
from $325 to $575 per hour for New York matters, but RCT has
agreed to cap its rates at $425 per hour for its work on the
Westford/Amaranth Actions.

To the extent that, at the election of the Trustee, William T.
Reid, IV, a senior partner and trial attorney at RCT, works on the
Westford/Amaranth Actions, his normal rate of $895 per hour for
New York matters will be discounted to $650 per hour.  No RCT
attorney other than Mr. King will work on the Westford/Amaranth
actions without the Trustee's prior approval.

Any expenses that RCT incurs in traveling to or from New York City
will be borne by RCT, except for travel expenses incurred at trial
of either matter and then only if the Trustee recovers $5,000,000
beyond the amount of principal that the defendants to the
Westford/Amaranth Actions invested in Marc Dreier's Ponzi scheme,
plus prejudgment interest.

RCT will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred.

Mr. King assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any interest adverse to the
Debtors and their estates.

             About Marc Dreier and Dreier LLP

Marc Dreier founded New York-based law firm Dreier LLP --
http://www.dreierllp.com/-- in 1996.  On Dec. 8, 2008, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission filed a suit, alleging that Mr.
Dreier made fraudulent offers and sales of securities in several
cities, selling fake promissory notes to hedge and other private
investment funds.  The SEC asserted that Mr. Dreier also
distributed phony financial statements and audit opinions, and
recruited accomplices in connection with that scheme.  Mr. Dreier,
currently in prison, was charged by the U.S. government for
conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud (S.D.N.Y. Case No. 09-
cr-00085).

Dreier LLP sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
08-15051) on Dec. 16, 2008.  Stephen J. Shimshak, Esq., at Paul,
Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, was tapped as counsel.
The Debtor estimated assets of $100 million to $500 million, and
debts between $10 million and $50 million in its Chapter 11
petition.

Sheila M. Gowan, a partner with Diamond McCarthy, was appointed
Chapter 11 trustee for the Dreier law firm.  Ms. Gowan is
represented by Jason Porter, Esq., at Diamond McCarthy LLP.

Wachovia Bank National Association, the Dreier LLP Chapter 11
trustee, and Steven J. Reisman as post-confirmation representative
of the bankruptcy estate of 360networks (USA) Inc. signed a
petition that put Mr. Dreier into bankruptcy under Chapter 7 on
Jan. 26, 2009 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 09-10371).  Mr. Dreier,
60, pleaded guilty to fraud and other charges in May 2009.  The
scheme to sell $700 million in fake notes unraveled in late 2008.
Mr. Dreier is serving a 20-year sentence in a federal prison in
Minneapolis.


DRYSHIPS INC: Enters Into Equity Offering Sales Agreement
---------------------------------------------------------
DryShips Inc., a global provider of marine transportation services

"Drybulk shipping rates and ship values have increased recently
and we believe this trend will continue particularly in the larger
asset classes.  Given the improved market backdrop, we believe
this is an opportune time to flexibly access the equity capital
markets to reduce some or all of our funding needs through 2014
that we currently estimate at $150 million.  In addition, we are
nearing agreements with certain banking syndicates to reduce our
debt service payments over the next year and adjust certain
financial covenants.  Finally, we are pleased to report that Ocean
Rig continues to improve its level of performance.  Preliminary
data for the third quarter of 2013 indicates that the Ocean Rig
fleet operated at a 98.5% operating efficiency on available for
drilling days, which is a record for Ocean Rig."

                        About DryShips Inc.

Headquartered in Athens, Greece, DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS) is
an owner of drybulk carriers and tankers that operate worldwide.
Through its majority owned subsidiary, Ocean Rig UDW Inc.,

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed
US$8.878 billion in total assets, US$5.010 billion in total

                       Going Concern Doubt

Ernst & Young (Hellas), in Athens, Greece, expressed substantial
doubt about DryShips Inc.'s ability to continue as a going
concern, citing the Company's working capital deficit of
US$670 million at Dec. 31, 2012, and in addition, the non-
compliance by the shipping segment with certain covenants of its
loan agreements with banks.

As of Dec. 31, 2012, the shipping segment was not in compliance
with certain loan-to-value ratios contained in certain of its
loan agreements.  In addition, as of Dec. 31, 2012, the shipping
segment was in breach of certain financial covenants, mainly the
interest coverage ratio, contained in the Company's loan
agreements relating to US$769,098,000 of the Company's debt.  As
a result of this non-compliance and of the cross default
provisions contained in all bank loan agreements of the shipping
segment and in accordance with guidance related to the
classification of obligations that are callable by the creditor,
the Company has classified all of its shipping segment's bank
loans in breach amounting to US$941,339,000 as current at
Dec. 31, 2012.

FIRST MARINER: George Mantakos Retires as Bank's EVP and CLO
------------------------------------------------------------
George Mantakos, director, executive vice president and chief
lending officer of First Mariner Bank, First Mariner Bancorp's
wholly owned subsidiary, retired from his positions of executive
vice president and chief lending officer of the Bank.  Mr.
Mantakos will continue as a director of the Company and will
continue to serve on several Board Committees, including Loan
Committee, Audit Committee, and Asset/Liability Management
Committee.

                         About First Mariner

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

First Mariner disclosed net income of $16.11 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $30.24 million in 2011.  As of
June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.21 billion in total assets,
$1.22 billion in total liabiliteis and a $13.26 million in total
stockholders' deficit.

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

               Regulatory matters and capital adequacy

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

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


FRESH & EASY: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for Nov. 5
---------------------------------------------------------
A meeting of creditors in the bankruptcy case of Fresh & Easy
Neighborhood Market Inc. will be held on Nov. 5, 2013, at
10:30 a.m. at J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building, 844 King St., Room
5209, Wilmington, Delaware.

This is the first meeting of creditors required under Section
341(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in all bankruptcy cases.

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

Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Inc., and its affiliate filed
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 13-12569 and 13-
12570) on Sept. 30, 2013.  The petitions were signed by James
Dibbo, chief financial officer.  Judge Kevin J. Carey presides
over the case.  Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., serves as the
Debtors' counsel.   Prime Clerk LLC acts as the Debtors' claims
and noticing agent.  The Debtors estimated assets of at least $100
million and liabilities of at least $500 million.


FRESH & EASY: Wants November Auction to Test Yucaipa Lead Bid
-------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Tesco Plc's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood
Market Inc. wants to hold a Nov. 13 auction with an affiliate of
billionaire Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. as the lead bidder in a sale
of virtually all its assets, a lawyer for the company said in
court October 1.

According to the report, the company, which filed for bankruptcy
Sept. 30, proposed an Oct. 15 date to schedule a hearing to seek
approval of sale procedures that would govern the bidding and
auction process, Lisa Laukitis, a company attorney, told U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin J. Carey in Wilmington, Delaware.  As the
so-called stalking horse, Los Angeles-based Yucaipa's affiliate
would have the opening bid.  Should no other offers come in, the
company would automatically win the auction by default and buy
Fresh & Easy.

The report notes that under the proposed deal, a Tesco affiliate
would lend the Yucaipa affiliate $120 million to help fund the
takeover.  Tesco would get warrants to buy as much as 10 percent
of the equity in the reorganized supermarket chain.  Should
Yucaipa win the proposed auction, a Tesco unit would retain 22.5
percent of the equity in the reorganized chain.  The Yucaipa offer
was the only "bid that allowed it to avoid a complete liquidation"
and would also preserve about 4,000 jobs, Laukitis said at the
hearing.

The report relates that Yucaipa has agreed to take over about 150
of the markets along with its production facility in Riverside,
California, where the company produces meals under the Fresh &
Easy brand.  Fresh & Easy operates 167 stores in the Western U.S.,
142 of which involve leases.  The company also owns 61 store
properties that aren't being operated and leases 36 non operating
locations.  Fresh & Easy "has a clear path to exit" from
bankruptcy and has "sufficient liquidity to get there," Laukitis
told Carey at the hearing.  The grocery chain will file a
reorganization plan shortly, she added.

The report discloses that Fresh & Easy blamed its failure on the
economic downturn that began in 2008, especially falling real
estate prices in California, Nevada and Arizona.  To build the
chain quickly in 2006 and 2007, the height of the U.S. real estate
boom, Tesco spent $610 million.  Fresh & Easy said it owes $738
million to Cheshunt, England-based Tesco, the U.K.'s biggest
retailer.  Fresh & Easy never made a profit and lost an average of
$22 million a month in the 12 months ended in February, court
papers show.

The case is In re Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Inc., 13-bk-
12569, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).


FURNITURE BRANDS: Has Final OK to Pay Critical Vendor Claims
------------------------------------------------------------
On Sept. 30, 2013, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of

FURNITURE BRANDS: Panel Objects to Oaktree DIP Financing Proposal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Furniture Brands
International, Inc., objects to Debtors' (I) motion for a final
order authorizing the Debtors to obtain post-petition financing of
up to $140 million from Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., and (ii)
motion for an order approving bidding procedures for the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets and related relief.

By the Sale Motion, the Debtors seek approval of the Asset
Purchase Agreement entered into by the Debtors and affiliates of
Oaktree, under which Oaktree will purchase substantially all of
the assets and other rights of the Debtors, other than the assets
primarily used by the Lane Entities, for the aggregate purchase
price of $166 million in the form of a credit bid of $140 million
and cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities.

                     Revised Oaktree Proposal

Around Sept. 26, 2013, the Debtors and the Committee received a
revised offer from Oaktree which provided for, among other things,
a purchase price of $260 million for the sale of all of the
Debtors' assets, including the Lane Assets, certain additions to
the excluded assets, a reduced breakup fee of $4 million and a
timeline which would begin with a bid deadline of Dec. 8, 2013.

Although the Oaktree Revised Proposal included the purchase of the
Lane Assets, the proposal included a price adjustment if a sale of
the Lane Assets is not accomplished prior to the closing of the
Debtors' other assets, based upon the then current accounts
receivable and inventory held by the Lane Entities, with certain
collars before adjustments are made.

Committee's Objection

1. The Debtors' selection of the Revised Oaktree Proposal as the
stalking horse bid is an improper exercise of their business
judgment under Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

2. Even if the Revised Oaktree Proposal is chosen, there are
significant issues with the Oaktree DIP Agreement that must be
modified and/or clarified before such agreement should be
authorized by the Court:

   -- Oaktree should not be granted replacement liens on
   unencumbered assets.

   -- The fees sought pursuant to the Oaktree DIP Agreement must
   be severed from those sought pursuant to the sale process.

   -- The Committee should have oversight with respect to
   the budget.

3. There are also a number of provisions of the proposed bidding
procedures that must be modified and/or clarified.

    * The Committee should be allowed an active role in the sale
process.

* Bids for a portion of the Debtors' assets should be
permitted under certain circumstances.

    * The bidding procedures provide the stalking horse with
certain unfair advantages that may chill bidding.

    * The bidding procedures should make clear that any credit
bidding by the stalking horse bidder is subject to the
Committee's rights.

Thus, the Committee requests that the Court enter an order (i)
denying the Debtors' selection of Oaktree as the Stalking Horse
Bidder for the Debtors' assets, (ii) denying the Debtors' motion
to approve on a final basis the Oaktree DIP Facility, (iii)
modifying the proposed Bidding Procedures, to the extent set forth
in the motion, and (iv) granting such further relief as it deems
just and proper.

FURNITURE BRANDS: US Trustee Says Oaktree Breakup Fee Excessive
---------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, has issues
with respect to proposed bidding procedures where Oaktree Capital
Management, L.P., will open an auction for most of Furniture
Brands International, Inc.'s assets with a $166 million offer.

On Sept. 9, 2013, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of
bidding procedures to sell substantially all of their assets,
except for the Lane business, for a purchase price of $166 million
to affiliates of the Debtors' prepetition and postpetition lender,
Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., absent higher and better offers.

The U.S. Trustee put forth these arguments:

   1. The breakup fee of $6 million is excessive when measured
against the cash component of the purchase price.  The breakup fee
of $6 million (even before consideration of the expense
reimbursement) appears to total approximately 7% of the cash
component of the $166 million purchase price (estimated at $84.3
million, after a credit bid of (i) $49.7 million for the
Prepetition Term loan, (ii) $2 million for the DIP termination fee
and (iii) an estimated $30 million to satisfy the DIP loan).

   2. The requested breakup fee provision is not necessary to
preserve the value of the Debtors' estate under 11 U.S.C. Section
503(b).  Given that the stalking horse purchaser is comprised of
affiliates of the Debtors' DIP lender, it has strategic reasons
for bidding.  As the Third Circuit noted in O'Brien, entities that
have a strategic incentive to bid do not need bid protections.

purchase 158,046 shares of the Company's common stock.

GAMING & LEISURE: Moody's Gives Ba1 CFR & Rates Unsec. Bonds Ba1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 corporate family rating
to Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. ("GLPI") and a Ba1 senior
unsecured rating to the proposed bond offering of its subsidiary,
GLP Capital Corporation. The rating outlook is stable. This is the
first time Moody's rates Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc.

Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. currently is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. ("Penn").  Following a
series of restructuring transactions, Penn will distribute all
outstanding shares of GLPI common stock to the holders of Penn
common and preferred stock.  At the time of the distribution,
Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. will hold directly or indirectly
substantially all of the assets and liabilities associated with
Penn's real property interests and real estate development
business, as well as the assets and liabilities of the Hollywood
Casino Baton Rouge and the Hollywood Casino Perryville, owned by
Penn immediately prior to the restructuring. Effective January 1,
2014, GLPI expects to qualify as a REIT.

The following ratings were assigned with a stable outlook:

  Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. -- corporate family rating at
  Ba1

  GLP Capital Corporation -- senior unsecured rating at Ba1

Ratings Rationale

The ratings reflect GLPI's portfolio of gaming assets master
leased to Penn National Gaming, Inc. The ratings are further
supported by the fully unencumbered asset base, regulatory
limitations on new competition, and the experienced management
team. Also positively, GLPI's credit profile is expected to be
strong with 5.5x net debt/EBITDA and 3.5x fixed charge coverage.
In addition, Gaming & Leisure properties is anticipated to have
ample liquidity with a $700 million revolver.

These credit strengths are offset by 100% tenant concentration
with Penn National Gaming (at least at the commencement of
operations), as well as exposure to the volatility associated with
gaming assets, although indirect. Additionally, in the past,
recoveries on casino assets, a new asset category for REITs, have
been limited.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Gaming
& Leisure Properties will largely maintain its credit profile in
the intermediate term, as well as manage its liquidity prudently.

Positive rating movement would depend on GLPI expanding its
business profile beyond its single tenant while maintaining its
credit metrics and liquidity.

Negative rating pressure would occur from any operational
challenges in the execution of GLPI's business plan. Reduction in
the business' profitability, rise in leverage or any liquidity
challenges would also be viewed negatively, as would deterioration
in its tenant's (Penn National's) credit rating.

This is the first time Moody's has rated Gaming & Leisure
Properties, Inc.

Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Penn National Gaming, Inc. The common stock of Gaming & Leisure
Properties is expected to be distributed to the shareholders of
Penn National, and GLPI is expected to become a real estate
investment trust focused on the ownership, management, development
and redevelopment of gaming assets in the US.

Penn National Gaming owns, operates or has ownership interests in
gaming and racing facilities with a focus on slot machine
entertainment. As of June 30, 2013, Penn operated twenty-eight
facilities in eighteen jurisdictions, including Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Texas, West Virginia, and Ontario. In aggregate, Penn National's
operated facilities currently feature approximately 34,500 gaming
machines, 850 table games, 2,900 hotel rooms and 1.6 million
square feet of gaming floor space. As of June 30, 2013, Penn
National's assets totaled $5.4 billion, and its equity was $2.3
billion.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Rating
Methodology for REITs and Other Commercial Property Firms
published in July 2010.


GATEHOUSE MEDIA: Gets Nov. 6 Hearing to Seek Plan Approval
----------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that GateHouse Media Inc., the community
newspaper publisher overseen by the co-chairman of Fortress
Investment Group LLC, will seek court approval of its
restructuring plan, which is already supported by creditors, just
six weeks after filing for bankruptcy at a Nov. 6 hearing.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath
granted the company's request to hold a combined hearing seeking
approval of both its disclosure statement and reorganization plan
which would combine GateHouse's assets with those recently
purchased by Newcastle Investment Corp.

According to the report, at the hearing the newspaper publisher
will seek a determination that its disclosure statement, an
outline of the plan, contained adequate information for creditors
to make an informed vote and that its plan complies with
bankruptcy law.

The prepackaged restructuring plan hinges on the combination of
GateHouse with assets of Dow Jones Local Media Group, which
Newcastle bought from News Corp. last month for $87 million.

The report relates that Newcastle has made "two investments in
high-yielding local media companies that will be combined and spun
into a new company," Wesley Edens, co-chairman of Fortress, said
on a conference call Sept. 4, the same day Newcastle announced the
deal for Dow Jones Local.

Newcastle owns 52 percent of GateHouse's $1.2 billion in secured
debt and said it will convert the debt into equity in a new
company.   Other secured creditors will have the option of
converting their debt into cash at 40 percent of par or stock in
New Media Investment Group Inc., a new holding company that will
own GateHouse and Local Media Group, GateHouse said in a Sept. 27
statement.

"The prepackaged plan proposes a 'balance-sheet restructuring,' by
which GateHouse will emerge from bankruptcy with much less debt on
its balance sheet, but with its business operations completely
intact," Chief Executive Officer Michael Reed said in a statement
the day of the bankruptcy filing.

                        About GateHouse Media

GateHouse Media, Inc. -- http://www.gatehousemedia.com/--
headquartered in Fairport, New York, is one of the largest
publishers of locally based print and online media in the United

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $433.70 million in total
assets, $1.28 billion in total liabilities and a $848.85 million
total stockholders' deficit.

GateHouse Media and its affiliates sought protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Case No. 13-12503, Bankr. D.Del.) on
Sept. 27, 2013.  The case is assigned to Judge Mary F. Walrath.

GENERAL MOTORS: Old GM Case Gives Hedge Funds Windfall
------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that General Motors Corp.'s bankruptcy,
which wiped out shareholders and left taxpayers on the hook for
billions of dollars, is generating a new wave of profit for hedge
funds that supersized their claim by betting on an obscure pool of
GM debt issued in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

According to the report, a settlement proposes giving Fortress
Investment Group LLC, Elliott Management Corp. and other holders
of GM Nova Scotia notes a $1.55 billion bankruptcy claim on $1.07
billion in debt.  Holders of that same pool of debt earlier
received $367 million in cash.

The report notes that if the settlement is approved, holders of
the Nova Scotia notes could walk away with as much as 1.8 times
the recovery in the U.S. automaker as other unsecured creditors.
That would mark a rare departure from the bankruptcy norm -- that
one loss is entitled to one recovery.

The report relates that the settlement marks a compromise from an
initial deal the funds struck during a frenzied weekend of talks
leading up to GM's June 1, 2009, bankruptcy filing.  The Nova
Scotia noteholders realized at the time that a U.S. effort to save
GM would break down if its Canada unit was put into bankruptcy,
and they used a quirk of Nova Scotia law to force a deal.

The report discloses that the agreement promised the Nova Scotia
noteholders, which included Appaloosa Management LP and Aurelius
Capital Management LP, close to three times the recovery of other
creditors.  The settlement, which is up for approval on Oct. 21,
stands to be the culmination of a complex and legally intense
investment play that, for Fortress, dates to 2005.

The adversary case is Motors Liquidation Co. GUC Trust v.
Appaloosa Investment LP I, 12-09802, U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

GLYECO INC: Merges with GSS Automotive
--------------------------------------
GlyEco, Inc., previously entered into a preliminary agreement with
GSS Automotive Recycling, Inc., dated July 1, 2013, pursuant to

GRAND CENTREVILLE: Can Use Secured Creditor's Cash Until Dec. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
In a second interim order filed Oct. 2, 2013, the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia authorized Grand
Centreville, LLC, to use cash collateral of secured creditor Wells
Fargo Bank, as trustee for the registered holders of JP Morgan
Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-CIBC13, as assignee of that

HAWKEYE ENTERTAINMENT: Exchange LA Affiliate Seeks Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Hawkeye Entertainment LLC, which holds
the lease for the Exchange LA nightclub, sought bankruptcy
protection after a dispute with its landlord.  The Los Angeles-
based company listed between $1 million and $10 million in both
debt and assets in Chapter 11 documents filed Sept. 30 in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in its hometown.

According to the report, Hawkeye's "most valuable asset" is a
written lease agreement for the first four floors and basement of
the Pacific Stock Exchange Building, home to the Exchange LA
nightclub, according to court papers. Hawkeye holds the lease and
sublets it to a related company.  The venue is located in downtown
Los Angeles about one mile (1.6 kilometers) from the Staples
Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center, according to the
nightclub's website.

The report notes that the Los Angeles Stock Exchange Building
began construction in 1929 just as the stock market began to
collapse and opened in 1931 during the Great Depression.  The Los
Angeles Stock Exchange and the San Francisco Stock Exchange merged
in 1956 and became the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, which
remained in the building until 1986, according to the website.
The building was designated as a historic cultural landmark in
1979.  "Literally thousands of people wait in line" to get into
the club, which features some of the most sought after disc
jockeys and promoters, the company said in court papers.

The report relates that Exchange LA also operates as an event
venue for private parties, corporate events, live entertainment,
film shoots and fashion shows.  Hawkeye filed for bankruptcy to
protect its interest in the lease after the landlord moved to
terminate it, according to court documents.  The company said it
will file a motion to assume the lease.  Hawkeye said in court
papers that it spent millions of dollars to renovate and bring the
building up to city code, precipitating a dispute with its then-
landlord, Pax America Development LLC.  The company claimed it
should be reimbursed for its expenses.

The report discloses that Pax defaulted on a loan and lost the
building after its lender foreclosed following a series of
bankruptcy filings by Pax, according to court documents.  New
Vision Horizon LLC purchased the note from Pax's lender and
foreclosed on its interest in the building.  Hawkeye has been
unable to obtain a final certificate of occupancy from the city,
and has been getting temporary certificates every six months,
because the building's owner has refused to make improvements to
bring the entire building into compliance, court papers show.  The
company said it has sued to resolve the issues and withheld rent.

The case is In re Hawkeye Entertainment LLC, 13-bk-16307, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).

HOUSTON REGIONAL: Astros to Seek Dismissal of Involuntary Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
Maury Brown, writing for Forbes, reports that the Houston Astros
was to file on Monday a motion to dismiss an involuntary
bankruptcy case of Comcast SportsNet Houston filed by several
creditors associated with NBC Universal/Comcast.  The case will be
heard by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur.

The petitioning creditors that are associated to Comcast in the
case are National Digital Television Center of Centennial, Colo.,
which is owed $10,517.50; Comcast Sports Management Services LLC,
which is owed $1,251,573.75 for management services; Comcast
SportsNet California, which is owed $43,129.02; and Houston
SportsNet Finance, based in Philadelphia, which has a $100 million
loan to the partnership plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees,
and other amounts.

Forbes reports the creditors will have one week to reply.

The Astros are the majority stake holders of CSN Houston with an
ownership percentage of 46.384 percent while the NBA Houston
Rockets own 30.923 percent.  NBC Universal/Comcast owns 22.693
percent.

According to Forbes, the Astros believe that the case is without
merit as cash calls from the Astros will allow payments to be
made.  The network would not shut down in the case of the
bankruptcy, and the creditors in the Chapter 11 case are seeking a
trustee to manage the fledgling regional sports network while the
case is heard by Judge Isgur. Should that occur, carriage deals
could be made by the trustee without approval of the key
stakeholders, something the Astros are looking to avoid.

ICEWEB INC: Consummates Acquisition of CTC
------------------------------------------
IceWEB, Inc., has completed its acquisition of Computers and Tele-
Comm, Inc. and KC-NAP, LLC of Kansas City.

On Oct. 1, 2013, IceWEB entered into a share exchange agreement by
and among the Company, Computers and Tele-Comm., Inc., KC NAP,
LLC, the stockholders of CTCI, and Streamside Partners, LLC,
pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the outstanding
common stock of CTCI and the outstanding membership interests in
KC NAP, in exchange for 9,568,400 shares of the Company's $0.001
par value common stock.  Concurrently, and as part of the share
exchange agreement, the Company issued shares to retire an
outstanding debt owing by CTCI to Streamside Partners, LLC, which
totaled $155,000, and other debts of CTCI totaling $267,823, in
exchange for 13,485,799 shares of our $0.001 par value common
stock.  As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company is now the
holding company of CTCI and the Company now operates a company in
the business of operating data centers and providing Information
Technology services.

"We are thrilled to announce that we have completed the
acquisition of CTC in Kansas City," said Rob Howe, CEO of IceWEB.
"With this acquisition, IceWEB has become a full-fledged Cloud
Services provider that operates a Network Access Point, a full
service data center, and provides broadband internet services via
fibre and via the largest wireless ISP network in the metro Kansas
City, Missouri area.

"In addition to the exceptional human and physical resources of
CTC, we have now added to IceWEB some 300 high-quality commercial
customers, most providing recurring revenue.  Firms like American
Century Investments, Crown Center, Dairy Farmers of America,
Hallmark, Holiday Inn, JE Dunn, Marriott, The White House
Communications Agency, and Sheraton join our portfolio.  Our
existing IceWEB customers and our new prospects will now be able
to avail themselves of either an … la carte or a full turnkey set
of cloud solutions with top-tier capabilities at highly
competitive pricing," Howe said.

"Additionally, our pipeline of high-quality corporate, carrier and
datacenter locations seeking to purchase advanced connectivity and
dark fiber services is growing steadily.  This is an important new
day for IceWEB's customers and shareholders," Howe said.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into a
lease agreement with Agility Ventures, LLC, in the principal
amount of $1,417,672 which is secured by all of the assets of
IceWEB.  The note has a term of 36 months and bears interest at 15
percent per annum.  The Company also issued Agility Ventures
1,000,000 shares of IceWEB restricted common stock, and a Series T
common stock warrant covering a total of 3,675,000 shares with a
term of two years and a conversion price of $0.055 per share.

INSIGHT GLOBAL: Moody's Affirms B1 CFR & Cuts 1st Lien Debt to B1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed IG Investments Holdings, LLC's
(the entity that indirectly owns Insight Global, LLC --
collectively referred to as "Insight Global") B1 Corporate Family
Rating ("CFR") and B1-PD Probability of Default Rating ("PDR")
following the planned $130 million add-on to the existing first
lien senior secured term loan. The ratings for the first lien
senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $60 million
revolving credit facility due 2017 and a $428 million term loan
due 2019 (upsized from $298 million), were lowered to B1 from Ba3.
The rating outlook remains stable.

Proceeds from the proposed $130 million add-on first lien term
loan will be used to pay down the company's existing $130 million
second lien term loan due 2020.

The affirmation of Insight Global's B1 CFR reflects Moody's view
that the proposed transaction is leverage neutral and while pro
forma interest expense will be lower resulting in stronger
coverage and cash flow metrics, the company's credit profile will
not change materially.

The lowered ratings for the existing first lien secured debt
instruments reflect its expected lower recovery value in a default
scenario due to the much larger share of first lien secured debt
in the company's capitalization going forward and the elimination
of debt cushion provided by the second lien facility, which is
consistent with the application of Moody's Loss Given Default
("LGD") methodology.

The following summarizes the rating activity for IG Investments
Holding, LLC:

Rating affirmed:

  Corporate Family Rating at B1

  Probability of Default Rating at B1-PD

Ratings lowered:

  $60 million first lien senior secured revolving credit facility
  due 2017 to B1 (LGD3, 49%) from Ba3 (LGD3, 35%)

  $428 million first lien senior secured term loan due 2019
  (upsized from $298 million) to B1 (LGD3, 49%) from Ba3 (LGD3,
  35%)

Ratings to be withdrawn at transaction closing:

  $130 million second lien senior secured term loan due 2020 at
  B3 (LGD5, 88%)

The rating outlook is stable.

The B1 rating on the first lien secured credit facility reflects
both the B1-PD Probability of Default Rating and a loss given
default assessment of LGD 3 (49%). The proposed amendment results
in an all first lien bank capital structure as compared to the
previous first lien/second lien bank debt structure. However,
given the covenant light nature of the credit agreement, we
continue to expect an average overall recovery rate of 50% in a
default scenario, which is consistent with Moody's Loss Given
Default Methodology.

Ratings Rationale

Insight Global's B1 corporate family rating reflects its high
leverage as measured by debt to EBITDA of about 5.6 times
(incorporating Moody's standard analytical adjustments, including
capitalization of operating leases) for the LTM period ended June
30, 2013, as well as expectations for continued improvement in
credit metrics such that leverage declines towards 5.0 times and
EBITDA less capex coverage of interest approaches 2.5 times over
the near to medium term. The rating also considers that working
capital needs will likely constrain cash flow generation such that
deleveraging will primarily have to come from earnings growth. The
rating further reflects the company's relatively modest scale
within the fragmented staffing industry, some customer
concentration, and exposure to cyclical temporary staffing trends.
Positive ratings consideration is given to the company's
demonstrated ability to meaningfully grow sales/earnings despite
soft macro economic conditions, favorable demand trends in the
information technology segment of the staffing industry, good
execution of new office locations, potential growth opportunities
with new and existing clients, and the material equity capital
maintained by the sponsor.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Insight
Global will sustain meaningful revenue growth, maintain its
operating margins, and generate positive free cash flow that is
applied to debt reduction.

The ratings could be upgraded if Insight Global maintains top line
momentum and sustains its operating margins such that debt to
EBITDA is reduced below 3.5 times, EBITDA less capex to interest
exceeds 3.0 times, and free cash flow as a percentage of debt
exceeds 8%. An upgrade would also require that the company
demonstrate commitment to conservative financial policies.
Moody's could downgrade the ratings if Insight Global's revenue
and earnings do not materially grow as is expected such that
leverage remains above 5.5 times near-term. The ratings could also
be downgraded if EBITDA less capex to interest falls below 2.0
times and/or free cash flow turns negative. Shareholder friendly
policies could also pressure the ratings.

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

Insight Global, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a
specialized provider of temporary and project professionals in the
field of information technology. The company is private and is
owned by affiliates of Ares Management.


INTELLICELL BIOSCIENCES: Incurs $3.9 Million Net Loss in Q2
-----------------------------------------------------------
Intellicell BioSciences Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a
net loss of $3.91 million on $0 of revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 2013, as compared with net income of $11 million on
$6,769 of revenues for the same period during the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net
loss of $4.97 million on $0 of revenues as compared with net
income of $1.53 million on $18,869 of revenues for the same period
a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $3.70 million
in total assets, $10.57 million in total liabilities and a $6.86
million total stockholders' deficit.

                           Going Concern

"The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an
accumulated deficit of $35,790,853 and a working capital deficit
of $10,425,905 as of June 30, 2013, respectively.  Further losses
are anticipated in the continued development of its business,
raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.  The ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the
future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its
obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business
operations when they come due.  Management intends to finance
operating costs over the next twelve months with a private
placements of common stock or other debt or equity securities.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain further
financing, do so on reasonable terms, or do so on terms that would
not substantially dilute our current stockholders' equity
interests in us.  If we are unable to raise additional funds on a
timely basis, or at all, we probably will not be able to continue
as a going concern."

Intellicell disclosed a net loss of $4.15 million on $534,942 of
revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a net
loss of $32.83 million on $99,192 of revenues during the prior
year.

In their report dated Sept. 13, 2013, Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin
& Company LLP stated that the Company's financial statements for
the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2012, and 2011, were prepared
assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern.  The
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is an issue
raised as a result of the Company's recurring losses from
operations and its net capital deficiency.  The Company continues
to experience net operating losses.  The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to generate
a profit.


KBI BIOPHARMA: Files Bankruptcy to Assist Owner's Plan
------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that KBI Biopharma Properties LLC, the
owner of commercial real estate in Durham, North Carolina, sought
bankruptcy protection to implement a jointly proposed plan with
owner Howard Frank Auman Jr., who filed a personal bankruptcy this
year.

According to the report, the company owns about 28 acres, which
has four buildings, with about 305,000 square feet of rentable
space, court papers show.  The space was originally built in 1985
by Mitsubishi to build microchips, and has been converted to be
used by life science companies.  Some portions would need to be
renovated before being usable.  The rented space is occupied by
two biopharmaceutical development companies, KBI Biopharma Inc.,
which used to own the debtor, and BioMerieux Inc., according to
court documents.

The report notes that after a sale fell through that would have
let Mr. Auman pay creditors in his individual bankruptcy, it was
decided that KBI Biopharma Properties would be put into Chapter 11
"to allow for it to restructure its debt obligations and generate
additional funds to assist the individual debtor," Mr. Auman, "in
being able to properly market and sell his other assets," the
company said in its disclosure statement, which describes the
reorganization plan.

The report relates that the company and its owner plan to sell
assets and collect rent from the property prior to possibly
selling it as well, and it's projected that all creditors will be
paid in full with interest following the liquidation.  Mr. Auman
believes enough proceeds will be generated from the sales that he
will get a distribution, according to court documents.  Under the
plan, PNL Durham LP which holds a secured claim of about $11.5
million against the company, backed by the property, would be paid
over six years with a 20-year amortization bearing 8.5 percent
interest, according to court papers.

The report discloses that the primary asset to be liquidated is
stock owned by Mr. Auman, either directly or through another
company he owns, in KBI Biopharma Corp., court papers show.  The
biopharmaceutical company is owned by venture capitalists that
have restrictions on the sale of the stock.  The owners intend to
take the company to the public market in three to five years.  Mr.
Auman and the court-appointed examiner in his personal bankruptcy
estimate that "the stock in this company has a legitimate
opportunity to be sold for an amount that will be sufficient to
pay all debt obligations owed in the individual case, as well as
the LLC debtor's case."  The company has requested that its case
be jointly administered with its owner's individual case.

The case is In re KBI Biopharma Properties LLC, 13-11304, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of North Carolina (Greensboro).


KEMET CORP: Presented at Deutsche Bank Conference

                            About KEMET

KEMET, based in Greenville, South Carolina, is a manufacturer and
supplier of passive electronic components, specializing in
tantalum, multilayer ceramic, film, solid aluminum, electrolytic,
and paper capacitors.  KEMET's common stock is listed on the NYSE
under the symbol "KEM."

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $881.17 million in total
assets, $636.80 million in total liabilities and $244.36 million
in total stockholders' equity.

                            *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 26, 2013, Moody's Investors
Service downgraded KEMET Corp.'s Corporate Family Rating to Caa1
from B2 and the Probability of Default Rating to Caa1-PD from B2-
PD based on Moody's expectation that KEMET's liquidity will be
pressured by maturing liabilities and negative free cash flow due
to the interest burden and continued operating losses at the Film
and Electrolytic segment.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 9, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Simpsonville,
S.C.-based KEMET Corp. to 'B-' from 'B+'.

"The downgrade is based on continued top-line and margin pressures
and lagging results from the restructuring of the Film &
Electrolytic [F&E] business, which combined with cyclical weak
end-market demand, has resulted in sustained, elevated leverage
well in excess of 5x, persistent negative FOCF, and diminishing
liquidity," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Alfred
Bonfantini.

2011 Pixunity.de, a photoblog community and launched a U.S.
version of this community in the summer of 2011.  Effective
July 1, 2011, Kiwibox.com, Inc., became the owner of Kwick! -- a

Kiwibox.com disclosed a net loss of $14.01 million on $1.46
million of total net sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $5.90 million on $599,615 of total net

June 30, 2013, showed $3.16 million in total assets, $24.13
million in total liabilities, all current, and a $20.96 million
total stockholders' impairment.

Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company, in Somerset, New Jersey,
issued a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company's revenues are
insufficient to finance the business, and the Company is entirely
dependent on the continuation of funding from outside investors.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

LANDAUER HEALTHCARE: Seeks OK of LMI DME Management Services Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Landauer Healthcare Holdings, Inc., et al., ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for authorization to
enter into, and to perform their obligations under a management
services agreement with LMI DME Holdings LLC.

The principal terms of the management agreement provide that the
manager will provide experienced and qualified personnel to assist
and support the Debtors' business, including without limitation:
(i) durable medical equipment sales, rental and marketing efforts,
including the management of existing contracts with third parties,
(ii) patient third party payor and other billings and collections;
(iii) business operations, purchasing, product delivery and
logistics; (v) human resources; (vi) cash management, and
management of accounts payable, subject to the final cash
collateral order and any subsequent order approving use of cash
collateral by the Debtors; and (vii) strategic planning and
completing preparatory tasks for the transition, integration and

The services provided by LMI DME under the management agreement

that nothing will obligate LMI DME to incur any expense to any
third party.

The Debtor relates that at the hearing to consider approval of the
sale agreement for the sale of substantially all of the Debtors'
assets to LMI DME, no qualified bids were received prior to the
auction.  Accordingly, pursuant to the bid procedures order, the
auction was canceled.

In this relation, the sale hearing has been adjourned by agreement
of the Debtors, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and
LMI DME to afford the parties an opportunity to attempt to
formulate a mutually agreeable proposed Chapter 11 Plan as an
alternative to the transaction contemplated by the sale agreement.

LEVEL 3: Borrows Add'l $1.2BB Under Existing Term Loan Facility
---------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3 Financing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3
Communications, Inc., entered into an eighth amendment agreement
to the Existing Credit Agreement to incur $1,200,000,000 in
aggregate borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement through
an add-on to Level 3 Financing's Tranche B 2020 Term Loan.  The
net proceeds of the New Add On Loan were used to pre-pay the
Company's $1,200,000,000 Tranche B-II 2019 Term Loan under the
Existing Credit Agreement.  As a result of the incurrence of the
New Add On Loan and the pre-payment of the Tranche B-II 2019 Term
Loan, the total aggregate principal amount of the loans under the
Restated Credit Agreement remains $2,610,500,000.  Since the New
Add On Loan is part of the Tranche B 2020 Term Loan, it matures on
Jan. 15, 2020.  The New Add On Loan was priced to lenders at par,
with the payment to the lenders of an upfront 25 basis point fee
at closing.

The New Add On Loan has an interest rate, in the case of any ABR
Borrowing, equal to (a) the greater of (i) the Prime Rate in
effect on that day, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in
effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1 percent and (iii) the sum of (A)
the higher of (x) the LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on
such day and (y) 1.0 percent, plus (B) 1.0 percent, plus (b) 2.0
percent per annum.  In the case of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the
New Add On Loan bears interest at the LIBO Rate for the interest
period for such borrowing plus 3.0 percent per annum.

The Company, as guarantor, Level 3 Financing, as borrower, Merrill
Lynch Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent, and certain other agents and certain lenders are party to
that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2007, as
amended and restated by that certain Seventh Amendment Agreement,
dated as of Aug. 16, 2013.  The Existing Credit Agreement as
further amended and restated by the Eighth Amendment Agreement is
referred to as the "Restated Credit Agreement."

Level 3 Financing's obligations under the New Add On Loan are,
subject to certain exceptions, secured by certain of the assets of
(i) the Company and (ii) certain of the Company's material
domestic subsidiaries which are engaged in the telecommunications
business and which were able to grant a lien on their assets
without regulatory approval.  The Company and certain of its
subsidiaries have also guaranteed the obligations of Level 3
Financing under the New Add On Loan.  Upon obtaining regulatory
approvals, Level 3 Communications, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and its material domestic subsidiaries
will guarantee and, subject to certain exceptions, pledge certain
of their assets to secure, the obligations under the New Add On
Loan.

In connection with the incurrence of the New Add On Loan and the
lending of the proceeds thereof by Level 3 Financing to Level 3
LLC, Level 3 Financing and Level 3 LLC entered into an Amended and
Restated Loan Proceeds Note with an initial principal amount of
$3,810,500,000.

In October 2012, Fitch Ratings affirmed the 'B' Issuer Default
Ratings (IDRs) assigned to Level 3.  LVLT's ratings recognize, in
part, the de-leveraging of the company's balance sheet resulting
from its acquisition of Global Crossing Limited (GLBC).

As reported by the TCR on June 5, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Broomfield, Colo.-
based global telecommunications provider Level 3 Communications
Inc. to 'B' from 'B-'.  "The upgrade reflects improved debt
leverage, initially from the acquisition of the lower-leveraged
Global Crossing in October 2011, and subsequently from realization
of the bulk of what the company expects to eventually be $300
million of annual operating synergies," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Richard Siderman.


LIGHTSQUARED INC: Asks Court to Deny Rival Plans' Disclosures
-------------------------------------------------------------
LightSquared Inc. asks U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Chapman to
deny the disclosure statements filed by proponents of rival plans,
saying they do not provide enough information for creditors to
decide on whether to support their proposed plans.

Harbinger Capital Partners LLC, Mast Capital Management LLC and a
group of secured lenders in August sought approval of the outline
of their plans, which call for either the restructuring of
LightSquared or the sale of the wireless-satellite company's
assets.

In an Oct. 4 filing, LightSquared said each of the disclosure
statements "does not contain sufficient information that would
allow holders of eligible claims or equity interests to make
informed decisions about whether to vote to accept or reject the
plans."

LightSquared said the plan proposed by the lenders group
contemplates a possible alternative sale for the so-called "LP
assets" but the outline of the plan doesn't explain how such sale
can be conducted.

The company also questioned the group's proposal to "substantively
consolidate the LP debtors' estates" without basis and without
providing an analysis of its possible implications to the
stakeholders.

LightSquared, meanwhile, criticized the plan outline filed by Mast
Capital, saying it does not have enough information regarding the
implications to the success of Mast Capital's proposed plan or the
credit-bid sale of One Dot Six Corp.'s assets if the court grants
the causes of action in the revised proposed complaint brought by
the lenders group.

With regards to Harbinger's disclosure statement, LightSquared
complained that the plan outline doesn't have a detailed
description of the financing facility that will be provided when
the company officially exits bankruptcy.

The Harbinger plan contemplates the reorganization of LightSquared
and its affiliated debtors rather than a sale of their assets.  To
continue their operations, an exit facility will be provided as of
the effective date of the plan.  Harbinger disclosed the estimated
amount of the exit facility but did not provide a detailed
description of the terms and conditions of the financing.

                      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.

Lawyers at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP serve as counsel to
the Debtors.  Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC, is the
financial advisor.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as
claims and notice agent.

downsized or halted.

"There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in

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

District of New York entered an order approving the motion of 62
Madison Lender, LLC, to modify the order confirming the Second
Modified Third Amended Plan Of Reorganization for Madison Hotel,
LLC, or, alternatively, to extend the deadline for submitting
documentation in support of post-confirmation fees, expenses and
interest.

The following language contained in paragraph 61 of the
Confirmation Order:

     "Not later than thirty days after the conclusion of the Hotel
Property auction, . . ." will be deleted and replaced with the
following language:

     "Not later than thirty days after the Hotel Property sale
closing, . . ."

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 18, 2013, 62 Madison Lender asked
the Bankruptcy Court to modify the confirmation order, and by
extension the Plan, to correct a scrivener's error in the
confirmation order concerning the deadline for the Plan Proponent
to serve the required parties with documentation in support of the
legal fees, expenses, and interest that have accrued under its
claim during the "supplemental period."

Alternatively, if the Court concludes that the confirmation order
could not be modified to correct the mistake, the Plan Proponent
requested that the deadline for it to submit documentation in
support of the accrued and accruing legal fees and interest to
Sept. 27, 2013, and, thereafter, to serve a final supplemental
request for legal fees, expenses and accrued interest as of the
date of the hotel property sale closing within thirty days after
that closing.

62 Madison Lender said that, although the Plan's Effective Date
has occurred and several significant implementing steps have been
taken, the Plan will not be substantially consummated until the
closing of the hotel property sale and distribution of net sale
proceeds to creditors in satisfaction of their claims per the
Plan, and those events have not yet occurred.

MCCLATCHY CO: Larry Edgar Rejoins McClatchy as Controller
---------------------------------------------------------
Larry Edgar will rejoin The McClatchy Company as corporate
controller, the same position Mr. Edgar held from 2005 to 2008.
He replaces Hai Nguyen, who resigned earlier this month to become
chief financial officer for another Northern California-based
company.

Mr. Edgar, 42, first joined McClatchy's corporate finance
department in 1998 as an accounting supervisor.  In 2000, he was
promoted to assistant controller and was named controller in 2005.
Edgar left McClatchy in 2008 to become managing partner of Edgar &
Associates, a family-owned business that provides tax and
accounting services.

"Larry has been looking for opportunities to re-enter the
corporate world so we're thrilled to welcome him back to
McClatchy," said Elaine Lintecum, McClatchy's CFO.  "Larry led the
finance and accounting team through the 2006 Knight Ridder
acquisition, McClatchy's largest transaction.  He was involved in
the complex purchase accounting around the transaction and was
responsible for integrating many of the business operations and
finance functions of the two companies.  He is an accomplished
accountant and a proven leader who knows our company well and
appreciates our values.  I expect he'll pick right up where he
left off - as a great controller for McClatchy."

"For the past five years, I've watched from afar as McClatchy has
continued its transformation into a modern media company with an
exciting future," Mr. Edgar said.  "I'm ready to roll up my
sleeves, get to work with some old friends and new colleagues and
be part of that future."

entry for the hearing held Oct. 1, 2013, said it will take the
motion to appoint s Creditors' Committee in the Chapter 11 case of

A document filed on Sept. 27 by representatives of the probate
estates of 42 victims, indicated that the Wrongful Death Claimants

suggestion, the legal representatives of 42 of those killed in the
Disaster agreed to work together in the case as the Unofficial
Committee of Wrongful Death Claimants.

Esq., at Murtha Cullina LLP.

MPVC INC: Signs Option Agreement with CanAlaska Uranium
-------------------------------------------------------
MPVC Inc. on Oct. 4 disclosed that it has signed an option
agreement with CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. dated September 25, 2013, to
acquire up to an 80% interest in a uranium exploration property
located in northwest Manitoba.  The property covers approximately
143,603 hectares and is made up of three licenses (MEL-236B, MEL-
166B, and MEL-247B) located along the Saskatchewan/Manitoba
border.  The licenses are located approximately 90 kilometres
northeast of the McClean Lake uranium deposit.  The Property lies
within the Wollaston Domain trend, which hosts a number of uranium
deposits including, Cigar Lake, Rabbit Lake, Eagle Point, McClean
Lake, Midwest Lake and McArthur River.  These are some of the
richest uranium deposits in the world.

This proposed transaction is an arm's length transaction.
CanAlaska is a public company incorporated under the laws of the
Province of British Columbia and its common shares are listed for
trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

                         Option Agreement

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, MPVC can earn up to an
80% interest in the Property by carrying out a three-stage $11.6
million exploration program.  The first stage allows MPVC to
obtain a 50% interest by making a non-refundable cash deposit of
$35,000 and by issuing 2,250,000 common shares at a deemed price
of $0.10 per share, 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants with
an exercise price of $0.10 for a term of one year and 1,250,000
common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 for
a term of two years, on or before November 30, 2013.  MPVC must
incur $600,000 in exploration expenditures on or before March 21,
2014, and an additional 2,250,000 common shares are to be issued
at a deemed price in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange") pricing policies, on or before June 1, 2014.  A
further $2,600,000 in exploration expenditures must be incurred by
MPVC on or before June 1, 2015.

The second stage allows MPVC to increase its interest in the
Property to 70% by issuing 2,500,000 common shares and 1,250,000
common share purchase warrants, priced at the time in accordance
with Exchange policies, and incurring $2,800,000 in exploration
expenditures within a period determined in accordance with the
Option Agreement.

The third, and final, stage allows MPVC to increase its interest
in the Property to 80% by issuing a further 5,000,000 common
shares and 2,500,000 common share purchase warrants, priced at the
time in accordance with Exchange policies, and spending a further
$5,600,000 in exploration expenditures within a period determined
in accordance with the Option Agreement.

MPVC and CanAlaska have also agreed to form a joint venture once
MPVC completes the third stage, or elects not to proceed further
after having completed the first or second stage.  A royalty
provision is also included in the agreement.  This provision
allows either MPVC or CanAlaska to acquire a 2% "yellowcake"
royalty if either of MPVC or CanAlaska's participating interest in
the joint venture is diluted below 15%, then such party's interest
will automatically convert to a 2% royalty on uranium oxide or any
other minerals mined and sold from the Property and the joint
venture shall be terminated.  MPVC has also agreed to pay a
finder's fee to an arm's length party for introduction of the
proposed transaction.

                        Private Placement

MPVC will be undertaking a non-brokered private placement to raise
gross proceeds of $1,250,000.  Under the private placement, MPVC
will be offering up to 6,250,000 units at a price of $0.20 per
unit, each unit consisting of one common share and one common
share purchase warrant.  Each warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one common share of the Corporation at the price of $0.30
per share on or before the earlier of (i) one year following the
closing and (ii) the date occurring 15 business days from the date
the holder receives notice from the Company that the trading price
of the common shares has closed each day for a period of five
consecutive trading days at $0.75 per share or higher.  Up to a
10% cash commission or finder's fee will be paid to registered
dealers or qualified arm's length third parties assisting with the
financing.  The proceeds of this offering will be used for Phase
1of the work program to be finalized based on the updated
technical report, the initial cash payment under the Option
Agreement which is due on or before November 30, 2013, general and
administrative expenses and a minimum of $100,000 unallocated
working capital.

                        Board of Directors

MPVC also disclosed that, in conjunction with this transaction,
Chad Ulansky PGeo. will be joining the board of directors and will
also be appointed to the position of Vice-President Exploration.
Mr. Ulansky commenced his career over 20 years ago working for Dia
Met Minerals Ltd. on the project which yielded the Ekati diamond
mine. Since then he has led exploration programs in over 15
countries on four continents and is currently president of Cantex
Mine Development Corp., a junior mining exploration company listed
on the Exchange. Mr. Ulansky is a graduate of the University of
Cape Town.

Mr. Denis Hayes will also be appointed to the board of directors.
Mr. Hayes has been involved in every phase of the development and
finance of mineral exploration companies for over 30 years.  After
a distinguished career at a leading Canadian brokerage firm,
Mr. Hayes continues to conceptualize, finance and manage
successful exploration companies.  Mr. Hayes is currently a
director of Brigadier Gold Limited.

As previously disclosed, Mr. Gennen McDowall was recently
appointed to the board of directors and as non-executive Chairman
of the Board.  Mr. Gennen McDowall is a geophysicist with over 30
years international mining exploration experience, including
extensive work in the identification and exploration for uranium
deposits worldwide.  Mr. McDowall holds a first class honors
degree in Geophysics from the University of British Columbia.  He
has worked for both major and junior companies focused on the
exploration for uranium, diamonds, base and precious metals.  He
also has experience in corporate governance and administration
through his work with a number of publicly listed junior mining
companies.

From January 2010 to December 2012 he was a director of Goldstone
Resources and in November 2010 he was appointed the non-executive
Chairman of Goldstone Resources, an AIM listed company exploring
for gold in West Africa.  From June 2006 to June 2008 he was the
President and Chief Executive Officer of Xemplar Energy Corp, an
Exchange-listed company exploring for uranium in Namibia.  His
responsibilities at Xemplar included the development and direction
of Xemplar's uranium exploration program. During this time with
Xemplar he participated in the raising of some $25 million by way
of private placements.

The Corporation also proposes to grant stock options to directors
and officers to acquire up to a total of 1.7 million common shares
at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.

Grant Hall, President of MPVC, said: "We are very excited with
these new developments and having Gennen McDowall as our new
chairman and Chad Ulansky joining the board shortly we will be in
an excellent position considering their joint exploration
experience to advance our new Manitoba uranium project."

                           About MPVC

MPVC was incorporated on July 19, 2005, pursuant to the provisions
of the Canada Business Corporations Act.  It became a reporting
issuer on November 21, 2005, on issuance of a receipt for a final
prospectus prepared in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4 Capital
Pool Companies.  The Corporation's common shares were initially
listed on the Exchange on or about November 25, 2005.  On
February 24, 2006, MPVC entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of OneContact,
Inc., a private non-arm's length company in the call centre
business.  The Corporation intended to acquire additional call
center businesses and assets throughout North America with the
objective of maximizing shareholder value through consolidation,
implementation of common information technology and processes
coupled with experienced management, with the idea that the
aggregate capacity would enable MPVC to secure larger long-term
contracts served out of multiple facilities in North America and
benefit from improved margins commensurate with the larger scale
operations.  Completion of this acquisition on May 12, 2006,
constituted MPVC's Qualifying Transaction, as such term is defined
in Exchange Policy 2.4.

The consolidation of businesses proved difficult as the
Corporation was unable to raise sufficient funds as the equity
markets began to collapse.  The Corporation was able to continue
operating on existing cash resources until the end of 2008, when
it became necessary to sell the operating assets to avoid having
to declare bankruptcy.  Following the requisite shareholder
approval on December 15, 2008, the disposition of the
Corporation's assets was completed on December 24, 2008.  On
December 29 listing of MPVC's common shares was transferred to the
NEX exchange under the symbol OCI.H.

The Manitoba Securities Commission issued a cease trade order
against MPVC on May 12, 2009, for failure of the Corporation to
file annual audited financial statements and annual management's
discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the year ended December 31,
2008.  This was followed by a cease trade order issued by the
British Columbia Securities Commission dated May 13, 2009, for the
same reasons.  A cease trade order was also issued by the Alberta
Securities Commission on August 12, 2009, for failure of the
Corporation to file annual audited financial statements, annual
MD&A and certification of annual filings for the year ended
December 31, 2008, as well as failure to file interim unaudited
financial statements, interim MD&A and certification of interim
filings for the interim period ended March 31, 2009.  The
Corporation was successful in obtaining an order for revocation of
these cease trade orders in February 2013.

As part of the process of bringing the Corporation into good
standing, an annual and special meeting of the shareholders was
held on May 9, 2013.  Shareholders at this meeting approved the
election of directors, the appointment of the auditor, approval of
a stock option plan and approval of amendments to the articles to,
among other things, consolidate the then issued and outstanding
common shares on the basis of one 'new' (consolidated) common
share for five 'old' (pre-consolidated) common shares.

MPVC made application to the NEX exchange for re-instatement to
trading and on June 7, 2013, the common shares resumed trading on
the NEX exchange on a post-consolidation basis, under the symbol
MVC.H.  The Corporation subsequently completed a private placement
for working capital effective August 30, 2013, and settled a total
of $248,058.63 in debt by the issuance of 4,961,173 common shares
to six individuals at a deemed price of $0.05 per share effective
September 9, 2013.  The Corporation has, over the past year,
reviewed several opportunities for a potential transaction which
could qualify the Corporation for reinstatement to trading on the
Exchange and was finally successful in signing the Option
Agreement.

MPVC will apply for an exemption from sponsorship requirements
pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.2 Sponsorship and Sponsorship
Requirements.  There is no assurance, however, that it will obtain
this exemption.  If the exemption from sponsorship is not obtained
it will be necessary for the Corporation to engage a sponsor.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of
conditions, including Exchange acceptance and disinterested
shareholder approval.  The transaction cannot close until the
required shareholder approval is obtained.  There can be no
assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at
all.


MSR HOTELS: Judge Tosses Five Mile Claims vs. Paulson Executives
----------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that a judge overseeing the bankruptcy of
MSR Hotels & Resorts Inc. threw out a lawsuit against Paulson &
Co. executives, rejecting claims by Five Mile Capital Partners
that the directors failed to get the highest value for
intellectual property.

According to the report, at an Oct. 1 hearing in Manhattan, U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane dismissed Five Mile's challenges of
alleged conflicts in the handling of assets in the bankruptcy of
the group of resorts that includes Miami's Doral golf course.
"Five Mile has made a practice of asserting some, frankly,
frivolous positions during the years of litigation in this court,"
the judge said at the hearing, according to a transcript.

The report notes that Five Mile sued Michael Barr, Daniel
Kamensky, Jonathan Shumaker and Mohsin Meghji, claiming they were
conflicted because they served as directors of MSR Hotels at the
same time they were directors of subsidiary companies that owned
the resort hotels, according to a complaint filed in April in New
York state court.  The case was transferred to the bankruptcy
court.  Five Mile was seeking damages of $59 million.

The report relates that Five Mile is a lender under a $50 million
mezzanine loan to an affiliate of MSR Hotels, which guaranteed the
debt.  MSR Hotels is one of a related group of companies that
owned and operated the resorts, and it separately owns resort
trademarks, logos and copyrights, according to the Five Mile
complaint.  The Five Mile lawsuit stemmed from the bankruptcy
filing in 2011 of five resorts owned by the Paulson hedge-fund
firm: the Grand Wailea in Hawaii, La Quinta and PGA West in
California, the Arizona Biltmore, the Claremont in California and
the Doral.

The report discloses that Doral was sold to Donald Trump and the
other four were sold to Government of Singapore Investment Corp.,
a sovereign wealth fund, for $1.5 billion.  "Five Mile has been a
nuisance to our clients and the courts and we're gratified for the
Court's decision," David Elsberg, a lawyer for the Paulson
directors, said in a statement.

                          About MSR Hotels

MSR Hotels & Resorts, Inc., returned to Chapter 11 by filing a
voluntary bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 13-11512)
on May 8, 2013 in Manhattan.  MSR Hotels & Resorts, formerly known
as CNL Hospitality Properties, Inc., and as CNL Hotels & Resorts,
Inc., listed $500,001 to $1 million in assets, and $50 million to
$100 million in liabilities in its petition.

Paul M. Basta, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, represents the
Debtor.

MSR Resorts sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy to thwart a lawsuit by
lender Five Mile Capital Partners that claims it is owed tens of
millions of dollars related to the recent sale of several luxury
resorts.  MSR Hotels will seek to sell its remaining assets and
wind down.

MSR Hotels, formerly known as CNL Hotels & Resorts Inc., owned a
portfolio of eight luxury hotels with over 5,500 guest rooms.  On
Jan. 28, 2011, CNL-AB LLC acquired the equity interests in the
portfolio through a foreclosure proceeding.  CNL-AB LLC is a joint
venture consisting of affiliates of Paulson & Co. Inc., a joint
venture affiliated with Winthrop Realty Trust, and affiliates of
Capital Trust, Inc.

Morgan Stanley's CNL Hotels & Resorts Inc. owned the resorts
before the Jan. 28 foreclosure.

Following the acquisition, five of the resorts with mortgage debt
scheduled to mature on Feb. 1, 2011, were sent to Chapter 11
bankruptcy by the Paulson and Winthrop joint venture affiliates.
Then known as MSR Resort Golf Course LLC, the company and its
affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead
Case No. 11-10372) in Manhattan on Feb. 1, 2011.  The resorts
subject to the 2011 filings were Grand Wailea Resort and Spa,
Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, La Quinta Resort and Club and PGA
West, Doral Golf Resort and Spa, and Claremont Resort and Spa.

In the 2011 petitions, the five resorts had $2.2 billion in assets
and $1.9 billion in debt as of Nov. 30, 2010.  In its 2011
schedules, MSR Resort disclosed $59,399,666 in total assets and
$1,013,213,968 in total liabilities.

In the 2011 bankruptcy, James H.M. Sprayregen, P.C., Esq., Paul M.
Basta, Esq., Edward O. Sassower, Esq., and Chad J. Husnick, Esq.,
at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, served as the Debtors' bankruptcy
counsel.  Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., acted as the Debtors'
financial advisor.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC acted as the
Debtors' claims agent.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the 2011 case was
represented by Martin G. Bunin, Esq., and Craig E. Freeman, Esq.,
at Alston & Bird LLP, in New York.

In March 2012, the Debtors won Court approval to sell the Doral
Golf Resort to Trump Endeavor 12 LLC, an affiliate of Donald
Trump's Trump Organization LLC, for $150 million.  An auction was
held in February that year but no other bids were received.

The 2011 Debtors won approval of a bankruptcy-exit plan in
February this year.  That plan was predicated on the sale of the
remaining four resorts by the Government of Singapore Investment
Corp. -- the world's eighth-largest sovereign wealth fund,
according to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute -- for $1.5
billion.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane, who oversaw the 2011 cases,
overruled Plan objections by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and
investor Five Mile.  The IRS and Five Mile alleged that the sale
created a tax liability of as much as $331 million that may not be
paid.

Bloomberg News reported that the exit plan provides for repayment
of 96% of secured debt and 100% of general unsecured debt.  Five
Mile stood to lose about $58 million, including investments by
pension funds and other parties, David Friedman, Esq., a lawyer
for Five Mile, said during the Plan approval hearing, according to
Bloomberg.

That Plan was declared effective on Feb. 28, 2013.

On April 9, 2013, Five Mile sued Paulson & Co. executives and MSR
Hotels in New York state court, alleging they (i) mishandled the
company's intellectual property and other assets in a bankruptcy
sale, and failed to get the best price for the assets, and (ii)
owe Five Mile $58.7 million on a loan.  According to a Reuters
report, Five Mile seeks $58.7 million representing sums owed,
including interest and costs, plus at least $100 million for
breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence and corporate waste.


MUNICIPAL MORTGAGE: Expects to Resume Trading on OTC Market
-----------------------------------------------------------
Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC, entered into a settlement
agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that
resolved the administrative proceeding instituted by the SEC on
Sept. 18, 2013, to determine whether to suspend or revoke the
registration of the Company's common shares under Section 12(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Pursuant to the settlement,
the SEC issued an order revoking registration of the Company's
common shares.

Once the Deregistration Order was effective, the Company was
eligible to re-register its common shares with the SEC.
Accordingly, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form
8-A for its common shares which was effective immediately upon
filing.  As of the filing of the Company's Form 8-A, the Company's
common shares are once again registered under the Exchange Act
with the SEC.  As a result of the deregistration and subsequent
re-registration of the Company's common shares, the Company has
resolved the filing deficiencies that were the subject of the SEC
action.

Michael Falcone, chief executive officer of the Company, stated,
"We are pleased to have resolved the SEC matters and to put our
legacy filing deficiencies behind us and we are pleased that
trading in our shares will resume on Wednesday following the end
of the trading suspension on Tuesday evening at 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Time.  We appreciate the shareholder support provided to us over
the past several days and we look forward to moving forward to
create shareholder value."

The Company hosted a conference call on Oct. 1, 2013, to discuss
the resolution of the SEC administrative proceeding and to
describe the process of how the Company expects trading will
resume.

As of the close of trading Oct. 2, 2013, trading in the common
shares of Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC, had not yet resumed on
the OTC Link Market.  The Company continues to work with both the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority to clear the final procedural hurdles
required to resume trading in the Company's common shares.
Following the conclusion of certain procedural actions by the SEC
and FINRA, the Company anticipates trading in its common shares
will resume under the Company's prior trading symbol, MMAB;
however the precise timing of the resumption of trading remains
uncertain.  In the interim the Company has received information
from certain broker-dealers that they have filed the required Form
211 with FINRA in anticipation of becoming market-makers in the
Company's common shares.  This is an important step in order to
reestablish a market in the Company's common shares and these
market-makers are awaiting the conclusion of these regulatory
steps so that they can begin trading.

Over the past two days the Company has worked steadily with the
SEC and FINRA in an effort to bring resolution to these final
procedural matters.  Based on the Company's most recent
discussions, the Company expects the SEC to provide the necessary
notice to FINRA and in turn the Company expects FINRA to allow its
common shares to resume trading once they receive SEC
notification.  The Company will continue to provide updates, as
appropriate, until trading resumes.

                     About Municipal Mortgage

Baltimore, Md.-based Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (Pink

as a Delaware limited liability company and is classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes.

When the Company became a publicly traded company in 1996, it was
primarily engaged in originating, investing in and servicing tax-
exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by state and local government
authorities to finance affordable multifamily housing
developments.  Since then, the Company made several acquisitions
that significantly expanded its business.  However, in 2008, due
to the financial crisis, the Company began contracting its
business.

The Company has sold, liquidated or closed down all of its
different businesses except for its bond investing activities and
certain assets and residual interests related to the businesses
and assets that the Company sold due to its liquidity issues.

The Company has a majority position in International Housing
Solutions S.a.r.l., a partnership that was formed to promote and
invest in affordable housing in overseas markets.  In addition, at
Dec. 31, 2010, the Company has an unfunded equity commitment of
$5.1 million, or 2.67% of total committed capital with respect to
its role as the general partner to the South Africa Workforce
Housing Fund SA I ("SA Fund").  The SA Fund was formed to invest
directly or indirectly in housing development projects and housing
sector companies in South Africa.  A portion of the funding of SA
Fund is participating debt provided by the United States Overseas
Private Investment Corporation, a federal government entity, and
the remainder is equity primarily invested by institutional and
large private investors.  The Company expects to continue this
business.

In the auditors' report accompanying the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, KPMG LLP, in
Baltimore, Maryland, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has been negatively impacted by
the deterioration of the capital markets and has liquidity issues
which have resulted in the Company having to sell assets and work
with its creditors to restructure or extend its debt arrangements.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $1.74 billion
in total assets, $1.06 billion in total liabilities and $679.70
million in total equity.


MUNICIPAL MORTGAGE: Resolution to Trading Delayed
-------------------------------------------------
Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC, has confirmed with both the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority that the final procedural hurdles required to
resume trading in the Company's common shares are complete.  As a
result the Company expects FINRA to complete the removal of the
trading restriction on the Company's common shares which should be
effective October 4.  The Company has confirmed that it will
continue to trade under our prior trading symbol, MMAB, when
trading resumes.

Broker-dealers that intend to act as market-makers in the
Company's shares should file the requisite Form 211 with FINRA at
this time, if they have not already done so.  The Company expects
initial trading to be at a lower volume and at higher bid/ask
spreads relative to historical experience.  These conditions could
persist until enough broker-dealers have entered the market on
behalf of clients and pre-suspension market-making activities
resume at more traditional levels.  The Company believes that
trading will return to normal over the next month, but there can
be no assurances in this regard.

"We appreciate the patience shown by our shareholders and market-
makers throughout the past two weeks and we look forward to moving
forward and creating shareholder value.  The Company will not
provide further communications on this process unless something
changes in our expectation with regard to the resumption of
trading tomorrow," the Company said in a press release.

As of the open of trading today, Oct. 3, 2013, trading in the
common shares of Municipal Mortgage had not yet resumed on the OTC
Link Market.

MPG Office Trust, Inc., entered into an agreement to extend its
mortgage loan at KPMG Tower for an additional three months, to
Jan. 9, 2014.  As part of the extension, the Company repaid $17.5
million of principal and contributed $2.5 million to a leasing
reserve.

                      About MPG Office Trust

MPG Office Trust, Inc., fka Maguire Properties Inc. --
http://www.mpgoffice.com/-- owns and operates Class A office
properties in the Los Angeles central business district and is
primarily focused on owning and operating high-quality office
properties in the Southern California market.  MPG Office Trust is
a full-service real estate company with substantial in-house
expertise and resources in property management, marketing,
leasing, acquisitions, development and financing.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company reported net income
of $396.11 million, as compared with net income of $98.22 million
on $234.96 million of total revenue during the prior year.  As of
June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.28 billion in total assets,
$1.71 billion in total liabilities and a $437.26 million
total deficit.

In its Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company
said it is working to address challenges to its liquidity
position, particularly debt maturities, leasing costs and capital
expenditures.  The Company said, "We do not currently have
committed sources of cash adequate to fund all of our potential
needs, including our 2013 debt maturities.  If we are unable to
raise additional capital or sell assets, we may face challenges in
repaying, extending or refinancing our existing debt on favorable
terms or at all, and we may be forced to give back assets to the
relevant mortgage lenders.  While we believe that access to future
sources of significant cash will be challenging, we believe that
we will have access to some of the liquidity sources identified
above and that those sources will be sufficient to meet our near-
term liquidity needs."

On March 11, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
US Bank Tower and the Westlawn off-site parking garage.  The
transaction is expected to close June 28, 2013, subject to
customary closing conditions.  The net proceeds from the
transaction are expected to be roughly $103 million, a portion of
which may potentially be used to make loan re-balancing payments
on the Company's upcoming 2013 debt maturities at KPMG Tower and
777 Tower.

Roughly $898 million of the company's debt matures in 2013.

"Our ability to access the capital markets to raise capital is
highly uncertain.  Our substantial indebtedness may prevent us
from being able to raise debt financing on acceptable terms or at
all.  We believe we are unlikely to be able to raise equity
capital in the capital markets," the Company said.

"Future sources of significant cash are essential to our liquidity
and financial position, and if we are unable to generate adequate
cash from these sources we will have liquidity-related problems
and will be exposed to material risks.  In addition, our inability
to secure adequate sources of liquidity could lead to our eventual
insolvency," the Company added.

NASSAU TOWER: To Seek Approval of Plan Disclosures Nov. 7
---------------------------------------------------------
Nassau Tower Realty, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of New Jersey on Sept. 27, 2013, a disclosure
statement explaining the Debtor's Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization, filed Sept. 27, 2013.  The Plan may provide for
the Debtor to reorganize by continuing to operate, to liquidate by
selling assets of the estate, or a combination of both.

The hearing to consider the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement
will be held on Nov. 7, 2013, at 10:00 a.m.

The Plan sets forth four classes of secured creditors.  Sovereign
Bank will retain its secured claim and its secured claim will be
unaffected by the Plan.

Likewise, Ocean First Bank will retain its secured claim and its
secured claims will be unaffected by the Proponent's Plan.

The Plan proposes to pay the secured claim of TD Bank in full from
the proceeds of the sale of certain properties subject to its
mortgage, and the turn over to TD Bank, for Fair Value Credit, of
certain properties subject to the mortgage of TD Bank.  In
addition, Nassau Tower Holdings, LLC, a co-borrower with the
Debtor for the loans from Sovereign Bank and TD Bank, will also be
turning over properties to TD for Fair Value Credit.

The Debtor proposes that the municipal taxing authorities with
liens on properties that are sold or refinanced will be paid from
the proceeds of sale and the proceeds of the refinance loans.  As
to properties which the Debtor turns over to TD Bank the Plan
provides that the municipal taxing authorities will retain their
liens thereon.

General unsecured claims will be paid in full from the proceeds of
refinance loans to be obtained by the Debtor.

Interest holders will retain their interests in the Debtor.

On the Effective Date, the Debtor will deliver deeds to TD Bank
for properties to be turned over for Fair Value Credits on or
before the Effective Date, the Debtor will sell the properties to
be sold and complete the refinance transactions.

NEW YORK CITY OPERA: May Be Liquidated, Bankr. Lawyer Says
----------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that New York City Opera Inc., created 70
years ago as the "people's opera" because of its affordable
tickets, filed for bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 13-13240)
after years of declining income and a failed fundraising effort.

According to the report, the nonprofit organization, which this
year produced "Anna Nicole," about the late tabloid celebrity,
listed as much as $10 million in assets and debt in a Chapter 11
petition filed Oct. 3 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.

The report relates that the filing became necessary after the
company fell short of an emergency fundraising goal of $7 million.
The bankruptcy will protect the opera from creditors and provide a
forum for negotiating debts and possibly selling assets.  The
opera listed New York City Ballet as one of its biggest unsecured
creditors, with a claim of $1.6 million, according to the
petition.

The report notes that the company's lawyer, Kenneth Rosen of
Lowenstein Sandler LLP, said on Sept. 30 that the opera would be
liquidated or possibly sold in court to another cultural or
educational institution.  In an e-mailed statement on Oct. 1,
George Steel, the artistic director and general manager since
2009, said the company canceled its 2013-2014 season.  "Anna
Nicole" finished its run on Sept. 28. New York City Opera co-
produced "Anna Nicole" with the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

The report relates that the projected deficit for fiscal year 2012
was $44.1 million, although the company had a balanced operating
budget in recent years, according to the filing.  The opera's
long-term structural deficit problems started in 2003, and it
blamed its financial condition on a "troubled economy, decreased
donations, and increasing pension obligations," according to the
filing.  Closing down would mark the end of a company established
as the "people's opera" by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia that became a
training ground for talent that included Beverly Sills and Placido
Domingo.  It would also leave New York with one remaining major
company, the 128-year-old Metropolitan Opera.  The company last
week posted an "urgent" notice on its website seeking donations to
help raise $20 million, including $7 million it said it needed by
Sept. 30 for the current season.

The report discloses that in late 2008 and early 2009, the board
used $24 million from its endowment to meet payroll and other
obligations and hasn't been able to repay it, according to the
filing.  The opera's endowment totaled $5.02 million for fiscal
2012, down from $9 million a year earlier and $55 million several
years ago, according to the filing.  The endowment lost $14
million during the stock market decline, the company said in the
filing.  In 2011-12, the last year for which results are
available, ticket sales were $1.1 million, down 87 percent from
2005-06.

NEWLEAD HOLDINGS: Gets NASDAQ Listing Non-Compliance Notice
-----------------------------------------------------------
NewLead Holdings Ltd. On Oct. 4 disclosed that the Company
received a letter from NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff of The

regained compliance, by October 1, 2013, with the $1.00 minimum
bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global

PACIFIC GOLD: OKs Assignment of $80,000 Note
--------------------------------------------
Pacific Gold Corp., on Sept. 24, 2013, agreed to the assignment of
$80,000, in principal amount of outstanding notes, which represent
notes the Company issued to the original debt holder on May 11,
2012.  The assignment was to a third party that is not affiliated
with the Company.

In connection with the assignment, the Company agreed to various
modifications of the note for the benefit of the new holder, which
enhance and reset the conversion features of the note and change
certain other basic terms of the note.   As a result of the
amendments, the note now (i) has a conversion rate of a 45 percent
discount to the average of the 3 lowest daily VWAP prices of the
common stock based on the twenty day period prior to the date of
conversion, which rate will be subject to certain adjustments,
(ii) has an annual interest rate of 8 percent, due at maturity,
(iii) has a new maturity date of Sept. 24, 2014, and (iv) has
additional default provisions, including a default penalty of 50
percent of outstanding principal and interest at the time of
default.  The assigned portion of the principal note has a
conversion rate at an approximate 45 percent discount to market
and, without taking into account the conversion of any of the
interest to be earned or converted, represents the potential
issuance of 1,454,545,455 shares, limited to a maximum conversion
right at any one time to 4.99 percent of the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the company.

                         About Pacific Gold

Las Vegas, Nev.-based Pacific Gold Corp. is engaged in the
identification, acquisition, and development of prospects believed
to have gold mineralization.  Pacific Gold through its

compared with a net loss of $1.38 million in 2011.  As of June 30,
2013, the Company had $1.39 million in total assets, $4.30 million
in total liabilities and a $2.91 million total stockholders'
deficit.

Silberstein Ungar, PLLC, in Bingham Farms, Michigan, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred losses from
operations, has negative working capital and is in need of
additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become
profitable.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS: Committee May Probe Majority Owner
-----------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that the official committee of unsecured
creditors of Personal Communications Devices Holdings LLC won
court approval to investigate the company's majority owner, who is
also a second-lien lender.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Alan S. Trust
granted the creditors' committee permission to seek and examine
documents and question representatives of the distributor of
wireless-communications devices and lenders, according to court
documents filed Oct. 4 in Central Islip, New York.  The creditors
said they need documents from the company and the lenders to
determine if there are any assets or cause of action that can
benefit the estate, according to court documents.

The report notes that the lenders hold about $71.3 million in
secured second-lien debt, court papers show.  They made capital
contributions in 2008 following the equity purchase and then
stopped making investments and started receiving distributions the
following year.

The report relates that the lenders received $20 million in
distributions in 2011.  In the first half of 2012, "just a matter
of months after the second-lien lenders drained substantial
equity" from the company, PCD entered into the loan with "lender-
friendly provisions," according to court documents.  "Although the
committee does not yet have all of the pertinent facts surrounding
the second-lien lenders' conduct, it certainly is possible that
their actions were an attempt to convert their equity into debt,
furthering the debtors' financial difficulties," the creditors
argued in court papers.

The report discloses that PCD and the second-lien lenders
responded to the demand for documents saying that, while they
would attempt to comply with the request, it is overly broad and
would be almost impossible to accomplish within the timeframe that
the committee wants.  The committee agreed "to certain limitations
with respect to the scope" of its investigation with the company
and its lenders, according to the judge's order.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Our cash requirements relate primarily to working capital needed
to operate and grow our business, including funding operating
expenses, growth in inventory to support both shipments of new
units and servicing the installed base, and continued development
and expansion of our products.  Our ability to meet our future
liquidity needs, capital requirements, and to achieve
profitability will depend upon numerous factors, including the
timing and quantity of product orders and shipments; the timing
and amount of our operating expenses; the timing and costs of
working capital needs; the timing and costs of building a sales
base; the timing and costs of developing marketing and
distribution channels; the timing and costs of product service
requirements; the timing and costs of hiring and training product
staff; the extent to which our products gain market acceptance;
the timing and costs of product development and introductions; the
extent of our ongoing and any new research and development
programs; and changes in our strategy or our planned activities.
If we are unable to fund our operations without additional
external financing and therefore cannot sustain future operations,
we may be required to delay, reduce and/or cease our operations
and/or seek bankruptcy protection," the Company said in the
quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2013.


PLY GEM HOLDINGS: Realigns 2 Manufacturing Facilities in Canada
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ply Gem Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ply Gem
Holdings, Inc., said it will realign production across two
manufacturing facilities in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which will
improve the Company's overall operating efficiency.  The two
manufacturing facilities resulted from the Company's acquisition
of Gienow Canada Inc., completed in April 2013, combined with the
pre-existing manufacturing facility of Ply Gem Canada, Inc.  These
realignment plans include shifting the majority of the vinyl
window and door production into Gienow's manufacturing facility in
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, while maintaining wood window and door
production in the Ply Gem Canada's manufacturing facility also
located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  In connection with this
realignment, distribution will also be realigned across Gienow and
Ply Gem Canada distribution centers in Western Canada.

Consistent with the Company's acquisition and integration plans,
management expects that these realignments will reduce costs and
increase operating efficiencies.  Production will begin to be
realigned during October 2013, with the majority expected to be
completed by March 2014.  In connection with these plans, the
Company expects to incur pre-tax exit and restructuring cash and
non-cash costs together of approximately $4.3 million, which
includes lease and contract termination costs, personnel-related
costs and other facilities-related costs.

As a result of this realignment, combined with other expected
synergies associated with the Gienow acquisition, the Company
expects to realize estimated annual cost savings and synergies
ranging from $5 million to $10 million beginning in 2014.

compared with a net loss of $84.50 million in 2011.  The Company's
balance sheet at June 29, 2013, showed $1.10 billion in total
assets, $1.17 billion in total liabilities and a $70.18

                           *     *     *

In May 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
(unsolicited) corporate credit rating on Ply Gem to 'B-' from
'CCC+'.  "The ratings upgrade reflects our expectation that the
company's credit measures are likely to improve modestly over the
next several quarters to levels that we would consider more in
line with the 'B-' corporate credit rating," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Tobias Crabtree.


PUERTO RICO: Lawyers, Experts Predict Restructuring of Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
An article by Emily Glazer of The Wall Street Journal relates that
while no action seems imminent, many lawyers and other experts on
distressed debt predict that at least some of Puerto Rico's
outstanding bonds eventually will be restructured. That could mean
changes to interest rates or to the amount of time Puerto Rico has
to repay.  The tipping point will likely come if Puerto Rico runs
out of money to cover debt payments and can't refinance with new
bonds. Puerto Rico has cut back on its bond-issuance plans and is
turning to banks for short-term loans.

The article says Puerto Rico is not eligible to seek creditor
protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which is
only for municipalities.  Puerto Rico is an unincorporated
territory.  According to the article, which was presented as a
question-and-answer segment, some experts said it might be
possible to at least try restructuring some of Puerto Rico's debt
in Chapter 9 or Chapter 11, the part of bankruptcy companies use
to reorganize.  For example, some bond issuers in Puerto Rico are
classified as "semi-autonomous authorities," possibly giving them
a loophole to seek protection from certain obligations, lawyers
said.

operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

PVA Apartments LLC filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Cal.
Case No. 13-45558) on Oct. 4, 2013.  The petition was signed by

RITE AID: Swings to $32.8 Million Net Income in Aug. 31 Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rite Aid Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing net income
of $32.82 million on $6.27 billion of revenues for the 13 week
period ended Aug. 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $38.76
million on $6.23 billion of revenues for the 13 week period ended
Sept. 1, 2012.  The improvement in the Company's operating results
was driven primarily by higher gross profit from generic drugs,
lower selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), the
settlement of a prescription drug antitrust matter and lower
interest expense, partially offset by continued reimbursement rate
pressures and a higher loss on debt retirement.

For the 26 week period ended Aug. 31, 2013, the Company reported
net income of $122.48 million on $12.57 billion of revenues as
compared with a net loss of $66.85 million on $12.69 billion of
revenues for the 26 week period ended Sept. 1, 2012.

SEARS HOLDINGS: Borrows $1-Bil. Under Amended Facility with BofA
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sears Holdings Corporation, Sears Roebuck Acceptance Corp. and
Kmart Corporation entered into a First Amendment to the Second
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders,
including Bank of America, N.A., as agent.  Pursuant to the
Amendment, the Borrowers have borrowed $1 billion under a new
senior secured term loan facility.  The Credit Agreement continues
to provide for a $3.275 billion asset-based revolving credit
facility.

The Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to, at the election
of the Borrowers, either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate
(subject to a 1.00 percent LIBOR floor) or (2) the highest of (x)
the Bank's prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50
percent and (z) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00 percent (the
highest of (x), (y) and (z), the "Base Rate"), plus an applicable
margin for LIBOR loans of 4.50 percent and for Base Rate loans of
3.50 percent.  Beginning Feb. 2, 2014, the Borrowers are required
to repay the Term Loan in quarterly installments of $2,500,000,
with the remainder of the Term Loan maturing June 30, 2018.
Beginning with the fiscal year ending January 2015, the Borrowers
are also required to make certain mandatory repayments of the Term
Loan from excess cash flow.  The Term Loan may be prepaid in whole
or in part without penalty, other than a 1.00 percent prepayment
premium if the Borrowers enter into certain repricing transactions
with respect to the Term Loan within one year.

The Term Loan is secured by the same collateral as the Revolving
Facility on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Facility, and is
guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee
the Revolving Facility.  The Revolving Facility continues to be
scheduled to expire on April 8, 2016.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict the ability
of the Company and its subsidiaries to take certain actions,
including, among other things and subject to certain significant
exceptions: creating liens, incurring indebtedness, making
investments, engaging in mergers and acquisitions, selling
property, paying dividends or amending organizational documents.
Under certain circumstances, the Credit Agreement also requires
the Company to comply with certain financial ratio maintenance
covenants.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary
affirmative covenants and events of default.

The net proceeds of the Term Loan were used to reduce borrowings
under the Revolving Facility, which resulted in borrowings
outstanding under the Revolving Facility of approximately $1
billion.

Kmart Corporation and 37 of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Lead Case No. 02-02474) on
Jan. 22, 2002.  Kmart emerged from chapter 11 protection on May 6,
2003, pursuant to the terms of an Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization.  John Wm. "Jack" Butler, Jr., Esq., at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP, represented the retailer in its

                         Negative Outlook

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

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

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

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

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 7, 2012, Fitch Ratings has affirmed
its long-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) on Sears Holdings
Corporation (Holdings) and its various subsidiary entities
(collectively, Sears) at 'CCC' citing that The magnitude of Sears'
decline in profitability and lack of visibility to turn operations
around remains a major concern.


SMITH BROTHERS: Former Bankrupt Cough-Drop Maker Eyes Comeback
--------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Smith Brothers Co., known for 1800s-
era black-and-white bags featuring its bearded founders, is
reinventing the medicated lozenge.

According to the report, bought out of bankruptcy in 2010 by York
Capital Management LP, the 166-year-old company is trying to
inject fresh thinking into a $7.23 billion U.S. cold-remedy market
dominated by Halls and Procter & Gamble Co.'s Vicks.  The new
products include Night Time drops with melatonin and chamomile to
aid sleep as well as electrolyte-laced Restore lozenges to help
people recover from the flu or a marathon.

The report notes that leading the charge is Chief Executive
Officer Steven Silk, a veteran food-industry hand whose efforts to
shake up a staid category and company culture includes pushing out
executives, axing the iconic Sen-Sen brand and focusing more on
health and wellness -- moves that have left some analysts
skeptical.  Smith Brothers lacks the name recognition of rivals,
said Tim Barrett, a Chicago-based analyst for researcher
Euromonitor.

"Unless you're Halls or Ricola, you're going to have a hard time
getting anybody," he said in an interview.  "Why go with something
new when you're used to something else?"

The report relates that in 1847, James Smith began selling cough
candies in Poughkeepsie, New York.  Fueled by newspaper ads, the
brand gained popularity in the Northeast, and sales boomed.  His
sons William and Andrew, who inherited the business, put their own
pictures on packages to thwart copycats.  The Bernard Fox family
bought the brand in 1926 and established F&F Foods Inc., according
to the company.

The report discloses that by the time York Capital acquired F&F
for $10 million in 2010, it was "tired and bankrupt," said Zalman
Jacobs, a partner at the New York-based private-equity firm, which
manages about $16 billion in assets.  "It was very undermanaged
with this iconic brand just sort of sitting there," he said.  York
pumped in another $6 million and renamed F&F Smith Brothers.  It's
planning to put in $7 million more.

As reported in the TCR on April 25, 2013, McGladrey LLP, in Des
Moines, Iowa, in its report on the Company's financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, said that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and its ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability
to attract investors and generate cash through issuance of equity
instruments and convertible debt.  "This raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern."


SPRINGLEAF FINANCE: Appoints Jay Levine as President and CEO
------------------------------------------------------------
On Sept. 30, 2013, Springleaf Finance Inc. and Springleaf General
Services Corporation entered into an employment agreement with Jay
Levine pursuant to which he serves as Springleaf's President and
Chief Executive Officer.

The initial term of the agreement expires on Dec. 31, 2015, and
the agreement will automatically be renewed for additional one-
year terms thereafter unless either party provides notice of non-
renewal to the other at least 90 days before expiration of the
then-current term.

A copy of the Form 8-K filing is available at http://is.gd/jGgkzQ

                     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.

                           *     *     *

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.

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 19, 2013, Fitch Ratings expects to
rate Springleaf Finance Corporation's $150 million senior
unsecured notes due 2021 and $100 million senior unsecured notes
due 2023 'B-/RR4'.

Fitch also expects to rate Springleaf's $500 million senior
unsecured notes due 2021 and $200 million senior unsecured noted
due 2023 'B-/RR4'.  These notes were issued by Springleaf in a
privately negotiated exchange for $700 million of the company's
existing 6.90% medium term notes due 2017.

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 20, 2013, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said it assigned its 'CCC+' rating on Springleaf
Finance Corp.'s $650 million senior unsecured notes due in 2021
and $300 million senior unsecured notes due in 2023.  S&P also
assigned a 'B' rating on Springleaf Financial Funding Co.'s $250
million senior secured term loan due in 2019.  In addition, S&P
affirmed its 'B' issue rating on the company's senior secured term
loans.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B-' issuer credit
rating on Springleaf.  The outlook remains stable.

STOCKTON, CA: Trades City Hall to Assured in Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Stockton, the bankrupt California
city, will give an office building it had planned to use as a new
city hall to Assured Guaranty Corp. as part of a deal to end their
fight over how to restructure $164.7 million in bonds the company
had insured.

According to the report, assured already has control of the
building and would gain ownership as well under a proposed
agreement, Connie Cochran, a spokeswoman for the city, said in a
phone interview.  The deal was presented to the city council on
Oct. 3 at a special meeting on Stockton's bankruptcy-exit plan.
The council voted to authorize the city manager to file the plan
with the court.  For the settlement to become final, city voters
must approve a sales-tax increase next month and a federal judge
must approve the exit plan, Assured said in a statement.  "The
settlement includes a unique and innovative instrument that
enables Assured to participate in the city's future revenue
growth," the company said Oct. 3 in an e-mailed statement.

The report notes that the settlement would be part of the city's
bankruptcy-exit plan, known as a plan of adjustment.

                       About Stockton, Calif.

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

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

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

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

The bankruptcy judge on April 1, 2013, ruled that the city of
Stockton is eligible for municipal bankruptcy in Chapter 9.

of Canterbury and Hygeia.  Upon the closing, Stratus will acquire
the exclusive license for 24 patent-protected compounds from Yale

Directors and help build the company into a leader in the
biopharmaceutical industry," said Jerold Rubinstein, current
Chairman and CEO of Stratus.  Mr. Rubinstein will remain a member
of the Board of Directors and serve as Chairman of the company's
audit committee.

Goldman Kurland and Mohidin LLP, in Encino, California, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent
auditors noted that Stratus Media has suffered recurring losses
and has negative cash flow from operations which conditions raise
substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern.


TAYLOR BEAN: Deloitte & Touche Settles Lawsuits Over Collapse
-------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Deloitte & Touche LLP settled lawsuits
by Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.'s bankruptcy trustee and
Deutsche Bank AG over $7.6 billion in losses associated with the
collapse of the mortgage lender.

According to the report, the bankruptcy trustee, Neil Luria, and
Taylor Bean's Ocala Funding unit sued Deloitte in September 2011
over claims the accounting firm failed to detect a fraud that led
to losses at the defunct lender.  Deutsche Bank, which filed its
complaint in December 2011, invested in asset-backed notes issued
by Ocala based on Deloitte's audits of Taylor Bean's financial
statements from 2005 through July 2009.  "The cases were settled
to the mutual satisfaction of the parties," plaintiffs' attorney
Steven Thomas said Oct. 3 in a phone interview.  Settlement terms
are confidential, he said.

The report notes that the settlement comes ahead of an Oct. 21
trial in the case.

Taylor Bean, once the 12th-largest U.S. mortgage lender, collapsed
in 2009 after federal regulators began probing a fraud that
involved fake mortgage assets, targeted the federal bank bailout
program and contributed to the failure of Montgomery, Alabama-
based Colonial Bank.  Deloitte, one of the so-called Big Four
accounting firms, allegedly ignored red flags in Taylor Bean's
books, allowing the lender's former chairman, Lee Farkas, to
orchestrate a fraud that toppled the company, according to the
complaints.

The cases are Ocala Funding LLC v. Deloitte & Touche LLP, 11-
30957-CA-40; Deutsche Bank AG v. Deloitte & Touche LLP, 11-43773-
CA-40, Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade
County, Florida.

                         About Ocala Funding

Orange, Florida-based Ocala Funding, LLC, a funding vehicle once
controlled by mortgage lender Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage
Corp., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No.
12-04524) in Jacksonville on July 10, 2012.

Ocala Funding used to be the largest originator and servicer of
residential loans.  Ocala was created by Taylor Bean to purchase
loans originated by TBW and selling the loans to third parties,
Freddie Mac.  In furtherance of this structure Ocala raised money
from noteholders Deutsche Bank AG and BNP Paribas Mortgage Corp.
and other financial institutions, as secured lenders through sales
of asset-backed commercial paper.  Ocala disclosed $1,747,749,787
in assets and $2,650,569,181 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11
filing.

Taylor Bean was forced to file for Chapter 11 relief (Bankr. M.D.
Fla. Case No. 09-07047) on Aug. 24, 2009, amid allegations of
fraud by Taylor Bean's former CEO Lee Farkas and other employees.
Mr. Farkas is now serving a 30-year prison term for 14 counts of
conspiracy and fraud for being the mastermind of a $2.9 billion
bank fraud.  Mr. Farkas allegedly directed the sale of more than
$1.5 billion in fake mortgage assets to Colonial Bank and
misappropriated more than $1.5 billion from Ocala.  TBW's
bankruptcy also caused the demise of Colonial Bank, which for
years was TBW's primary bank.

TBW and its joint debtor-affiliates confirmed their Second Amended
Joint Plan of Liquidation on July 21, 2011, and the TBW Plan
became effective on Aug. 10, 2011.  The TBW Plan established the
TBW Plan Trust to marshal and distribute all remaining assets of
TBW.

Neil F. Lauria, as CRO for TBW and trustee of the TBW Plan Trust,
signed the Chapter 11 petition of Ocala.

Ocala holds 252 mortgage loans with an unpaid balance of $42.3
million as of May 31, 2012.  The Debtor also holds five "real
estate owned" properties resulting from foreclosures.  The Debtor
also holds $22.4 million in proceeds of mortgage loans previously
owned by it that are on deposit in an account in the Debtor's name
at Regions Bank.  It also has an interest in $75 million in cash,
consisting of proceeds of mortgage loans previously owned by the
Debtor, that are in an account maintained by Bank of America, N.A.
as prepetition indenture trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders.  The Debtor also holds a claim in the current amount
of $1.6 billion against the estate of TBW.

The largest unsecured creditors include the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp., owed $898,873,958; and Cadwalader, Wickersham &
Taft LLP, owed $1,632,385.

Judge Jerry A. Funk presides over Ocala's case.  Proskauer Rose
LLP and Stichter, Riedel, Blain & Prosser, serve as Ocala's
counsel.  Neil F. Lauria at Navigant Capital Advisors, LLC, serves
as the Debtor's Chief Restructuring Officer.

Ocala implemented a Chapter 11 plan in July 2013 to carry out an
agreement reached before bankruptcy with holders of almost all of
its $1.5 billion in secured and $800 million in unsecured claims.
The plan created a trust to prosecute lawsuits on behalf of
creditors with more than $2.5 billion in claims.

TWEETER HOME: Twitter Look-Alike Triggers 684% Surge in Trading
---------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that Tweeter Home Entertainment Group Inc.,
the once-bankrupt home-entertainment retailer, surged 684 percent
on Oct. 4 before trading was halted as traders confused the
company with the micro blogging service Twitter Inc. which is in
the process of offering shares to the public.

According to the report, the Canton, Massachusetts-based company
trades over the counter under the ticker TWTRQ.  Twitter, which is
seeking to raise $1 billion in its initial share sale, will list
under the ticker TWTR.  Trading of Tweeter was halted at 12:42
p.m. New York time on Oct. 4 under the code U3, according to OTC
Bulletin Board.  "An extraordinary event has occurred or is
ongoing that has had a material effect on the market," it said.
The stock rallied as much as 2,200 percent to 15 cents.  "Somebody
probably got confused ahead of the Twitter IPO and either
misspelled the name of the company or mistyped the ticker by
adding a Q at the end," Larry Peruzzi, senior equity trader at
Cabrerra Capital Markets LLC in Boston, said by phone.  "The
stocks like Tweeter and Lehman Brothers are out there and are
completely unregulated where somebody can just buy a few thousand
shares and it's off to the races."

The report discloses that in the most anticipated technology
offering since Facebook Inc., San Francisco-based Twitter made
public its S-1 prospectus Oct. 3 and said it's seeking to raise $1
billion.  The documents suggested a valuation of $12.8 billion.

WAFERGEN BIO-SYSTEMS: Completes $15 Million Private Placement
-------------------------------------------------------------
WaferGen Bio-systems, Inc., has completed a private placement to
accredited investors of $15,037,500 of units consisting of shares
of common stock, shares of Series 1 convertible preferred stock
and warrants to purchase shares of common stock.

As previously announced, at the initial closing of the offering on
Aug. 27, 2013, the Company sold $13,668,500 of units for net
proceeds of approximately $12,300,000.  At a subsequent closing on
Sept. 30, 2013, the Company sold an additional $1,369,000 of units
for net proceeds of approximately $1,200,000.  In the private
placement, the Company issued a total of 5,893,750 shares of
common stock, 646 shares of Series 1 preferred stock (with a
$0.001 per share liquidation preference and convertible into a
total of 1,625,000 shares of Common Stock) and 3,759,379 five-year
warrants with a $2.60 exercise price.

National Securities Corporation acted as sole placement agent in
connection with the Offering and received compensation of
approximately $1,300,000 cash and warrants to purchase 35.88 units
at an initial exercise price of $50,000 per unit.

Immediately prior to the initial closing of the private placement,
the Company completed a restructuring transaction pursuant to
which the Company exchanged shares of Series A-1 preferred stock
with a liquidation preference of approximately $17.1 million,
convertible notes with a principal amount of approximately $17.1
million and warrants exercisable for 565,180 shares of common
stock for 2,987 shares of Series 1 preferred stock (with a $0.001
per share liquidation preference and convertible into a total of
7,513,372 shares of Common Stock), 1,067,317 shares of common
stock and 2,369,000 five-year warrants with a $2.60 exercise
price.

As a result of the completion of the private placement and the
restructuring transaction, the Company's capital structure has
been dramatically simplified and its balance sheet has been
significantly strengthened.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private
placement for general corporate and working capital purposes,
including commercialization activities intended to increase
revenues from sales of SmartChip TE (Target Enrichment for Next-
Generation Sequencing (NGS)) and SmartChip MyDesign (high-
throughput quantitative PCR) products.  In particular, SmartChip
TE addresses CLIA-certified and clinical research laboratories'
significant unmet needs in sequencing-based testing by providing
uniform coverage of targeted genes, yielding better test
specificity and sensitivity.  The superior performance of this new
product is based on WaferGen's proprietary technology that relies
on massively parallel singleplex PCR reactions, where
amplification is cleaner and better controlled, thereby providing
more accurate diagnostic test results in the downstream sequencing
step.  On the qPCR side, the SmartChip MyDesign System has a
powerful value proposition of content design flexibility, cost-
effectiveness, and no need for pre-amplification.

"The successful completion of these restructuring and financing
transactions represents a significant achievement for WaferGen.
In the past 18 months, we have made great strides to reposition
WaferGen for future success in our target markets.  We believe our
strengthened balance sheet will enable us to implement important
commercialization activities that are critical to the success of
our business plan," said Ivan Trifunovich, president and CEO of
WaferGen.

WALLDESIGN INC: Panel Taps Landau Gottfried as Litigation Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of WallDesign, Inc.,
seeks authorization from the Hon. Catherine Bauer of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California to retain
Landau Gottfried & Berger LLP, nunc pro tunc to July 25, 2013, as
special litigation counsel for the Estate to investigate and, if
appropriate, prosecute claims the Estate may have against Michael
Bello, other affiliates of the Debtor, other entities acting with
or controlled by Mr. Bello and such affiliates, and third-parties
who may have received transfers for the benefit of Mr. Bello and
other affiliates of the Debtor.

Mr. Bello has been the chief executive officer of the Debtor since
Sept. 13, 2011. Mr. Bello is also the sole owner of the Debtor.

In its schedules of assets and liabilities, the Debtor's total
assets showed $16 million and total liabilities showed $26
million.  Within the one year prior to its bankruptcy, the Debtor
made payments to, among others, affiliates:

   Bello Family Trust         $600,000 unspecified purposes
   RU                         $2 million rent
   Bello vendors              $819,000 unspecified purposes
   shareholders distributions $800,0000 various third parties
   Michael Bello              $236,000 annual salary

Further investigation revealed that Mr. Bello and his affiliates
received well in excess of $10 million during the four year period
prior to the petition date.  Documents provided to the Committee
and Landau Gottfried, appeared that both prior to and after the
petition date, Mr. Bello controlled a bank account in the name of
the Debtor at preferred bank but was not disclosed on the Debtor's
schedules, statement of financial affairs or monthly operating
reports, at a time when Mr. Bello served post-petition as director
of the Debtor.  It appears the Mr. Bello may have used more than
$5 million of the Debtor's fund in that account for his personal
benefit and his affiliates and not the Debtor.

The Estate has limited available funds, currently $70,000 in
unencumbered available cash, and cannot pay Landau Gottfried for
litigation counsel on other than alternate fee basis.  Moreover,
Landau Gottfried will need to cover all of its own costs relating
to this representation, including overhead and attorney time
costs, until there are sufficient recoveries on the claims to
cover those expense.

John P. Reitman, a limited liability partner of Landau Gottfried,
assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested person" as the
term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and does
not represent any interest adverse to the Debtors and their
estates.

                         About Walldesign

Walldesign Inc., incorporated in 1983, has been in the business of
installing drywall, insulation, plaster and providing related
services to single and multi-family construction projects
throughout California, Nevada and Arizona for over 20 years.
Customers include some of the largest homebuilders in the United
States, such as Pulte, DR Horton, K. Hovnanian, Toll Brothers and
KB Homes.  In fiscal 2011, Walldesign generated more than $43.5
million in annual revenues.

Walldesign, based in Newport Beach, California, said the global
credit crisis that occurred in the third quarter of 2008 had a
severe negative impact on its business: capital for construction
projects dried up, buyers vacated the market for new homes and
profit margins on new jobs eroded.  Although it has significantly
downsized its operations in an effort to remain profitable in the
recessionary conditions, cash flow problems arose during this
process.  These problems slowed payments to vendors, precipitating
collection lawsuits forcing it to seek Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 12-10105) on Jan. 4, 2012.

Judge Robert N. Kwan presides over the case.  Marc J. Winthrop,
Esq., Sean A. O'Keefe, Esq., and Jeannie Kim, Esq., at Winthrop
Couchot, serve as the Debtor's counsel.  In its petition, the
Debtor estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and debts.
The petition was signed by Michael Bello, chief executive officer.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.  The Committee tapped Jones Day as its counsel.

ZOGENIX INC: Awaits FDA Action Letter on ZohydroTM NDA
------------------------------------------------------
Zogenix, Inc., had been informed by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration that an action letter on the New Drug Application
for ZohydroTM ER (hydrocodone bitartrate) extended-release
capsules could follow after a further delay of short duration.
The FDA had previously informed Zogenix that it expected to issue
an action letter over the summer.  The original goal date for FDA
action on the NDA under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act was
March 1, 2013.

In September 2013, the FDA announced safety labeling changes and
post-marketing requirements for extended-release and long-acting
opioid analgesics.  Previously, the FDA had indicated a decision
on the Zohydro ER NDA could follow after a significant class-wide
action on ER/LA opioid analgesics.  Following the announcement,
Zogenix and the FDA have completed the final labeling and reached
agreement on the post-marketing requirements for Zohydro ER.  The
FDA has also reconfirmed there are no deficiencies in the NDA.
While the FDA indicated its intent to take prompt action on the
Zohydro ER NDA, the timing for a decision may be impacted by the
current federal government shutdown.  The FDA indicated to Zogenix
that agency activities funded by PDUFA user-fees remain
operational.

* AT&T Releases Statement on Debt Ceiling & Potential U.S. Default
------------------------------------------------------------------
AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said in a statement, "It
is unthinkable that the United States could default on its
financial commitments, and it would be the height of
irresponsibility for any public official to consider such a
course.  In fact, even the discussion of default poses great risk
to our economy and to our country.  It is imperative to our Nation
that the overwhelming majority of our public officials who
recognize this reality unite their efforts, regardless of party,
to bring a responsible solution forward."

AT&T Inc. is a communications holding company.  Its subsidiaries
and affiliates are the providers of AT&T services in the United
States and internationally.


* Fitch Says Gov't Shutdown Duration Could Affect Title Insurers
----------------------------------------------------------------
Just how long the U.S. government shutdown lasts will be a key
variable in determining the impact, if any, for U.S. title
insurance companies' margins, according to Fitch Ratings.  Title
insurers are sensitive to macroeconomic factors such as employment
levels, consumer sentiment, and interest rates and therefore the
duration of the shutdown is a vital factor in determining its
affect. The longer the government shutdown lasts, the bigger the
potential profitability impact to title insurers.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac operations have been largely
unaffected. However, to the extent that these agencies rely on
verifications and other functions from other government agencies
(notably the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security
Administration, and the Department of Housing and Urban
Development), title closings could be delayed or cancelled.

The Federal Housing Administration is affected by the slowdown but
as long as slowdown is brief, the impact on title insurers should
not be significant. As the shutdown duration increases, these
government entities will not be adequately able to process demand
for their services, thereby decreasing mortgage originations and
title orders.

From a broader economic perspective, Goldman Sachs has estimated
that the shutdown will reduce GDP growth by 0.2% in 4Q13 on an
annualized basis if it lasts a week and 0.4% if it lasts two
weeks. Goldman Sachs is predicting that 1Q14 will experience a
bounce back of equal magnitude if the shutdown is resolved
shortly.

It is more difficult to quantify how the shutdown will affect
broader consumer economic sentiments about the housing market.
However, Fitch believes that as long as the shutdown is brief,
consumer confidence will likely not be materially affected. The
housing market has improved over the past several quarters, but
tepid economic recovery and continued uncertainty has slowed
momentum. The largest variables influencing title orders are
increasing interest rates, tighter lending standards, and low
housing inventory in certain markets.

At this time, Fitch does not anticipate the government shutdown to
affect ratings, as near-term pressure will come from a reduction
in title orders that will pressure 4Q13 margins. The title
insurance industry's capital position remains adequate.


* Banks' Living Wills Pass Pain to Shareholders in Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bathon, substituting for Bloomberg bankruptcy columnist
Bill Rochelle, reports that 11 banks, including Goldman Sachs
Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc., envision shareholders absorbing
losses, managers getting fired and assets being sold off as the
firms filed "living wills" designed to ensure an orderly wind-down
if they should ever go bankrupt.

According to the report, Goldman Sachs gave regulators three
scenarios in the public portion of the document it posted Oct. 3,
with a preferred option centered on forgiving intercompany debts
to help units wind down smoothly even during an economic crisis.

The report notes that Citigroup's alternatives included selling
assets and closing units, with the bank adding that its senior
management and board "would presumably be replaced at the behest
of regulators."  The two New York-based banks were among 11 of the
largest lenders, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of New York
Mellon Corp. and Bank of America Corp., to submit revised plans
this week after the global banks failed to convince regulators
last year that they could go broke without destroying the rest of
the system.

The report relates that the solutions include "bail-ins," which
typically involve converting unsecured debt to equity and wiping
out common shareholders.  The living wills are supposed to help
ensure that taxpayer money won't be needed in any repeat of the
2008 financial crisis.

The report discloses that if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
and Federal Reserve aren't satisfied that each company has plotted
a safe demise, the companies could be forced to restructure or
sell off pieces.  The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act gave regulators that
power when it required banks to write these plans, which are meant
to describe safe bankruptcies and combat perceptions that
financial giants are too big to fail.

                            *********

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.
