22nd Century Group, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss attributed to common shareholders of $15.37 million on
$52,500 of revenue for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as
compared with a net loss attributed to common shareholders of
$448,925 on $15,683 of revenue for the same period last year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company reported a
net loss attributed to common shareholders of $18.33 million on
$52,500 of revenue as compared with a net loss attributed to
common shareholders of $2.42 million on $15,683 of revenue for the
same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $3.84
million in total assets, $20.84 million in total liabilities and a
$17 million total shareholders' deficit.

wholly-owned subsidiary, 22nd Century Ltd, is a plant
biotechnology company using technology that allows for the level
of nicotine and other nicotinic alkaloids (e.g., nornicotine,
anatabine and anabasine) in tobacco plants to be decreased or
increased through genetic engineering and plant breeding.

22nd Century incurred a net loss of $6.73 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $1.34 million in 2011.

Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C., in Buffalo, New York, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that 22nd Century has suffered recurring losses from operations
and as of Dec. 31, 2012, has negative working capital of

Additional capital will be required during 2013 in order to
satisfy existing current obligations and finance working capital
needs as well as additional losses from operations that are
expected in 2013.


AEROGROW INTERNATIONAL: Incurs $621,800 Loss in Sept. 30 Qtr.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Aerogrow International, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $621,827 on $676,035 of product sales for the three
months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as compared with a net loss of
$398,654 on $1.14 million of product sales for the same period
last year.  The net loss for the three months ended Sept. 30,
2013, was more than the $398,654 loss in the prior year due to the
lower overall sales as a result of low inventory levels as the
Company rebrands its product line with the Miracle-Gro trade name.

For the six months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company reported a
net loss of $689,124 on $1.79 million of product sales as compared
with a net loss of $7.56 million on $2.56 million of product sales
for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $4.34
million in total assets, $2.23 million in total liabilities and
$2.10 million in total stockholders' equity.

"Our April 2013 partnership with the Scott's Miracle-Gro Company
presents multiple opportunities for sustained, long term growth,"
said Mike Wolfe, AeroGrow's president and chief executive officer.
"One of those is the co-branding of our product lines under the
'Miracle-Gro AeroGarden' brand, however sales this past quarter
were negatively impacted in the short term as we drew down
inventories of old merchandise in advance of the co-branded
launch.  That launch was completed during October and early
November; we are once again in stock with new and co-branded
products, and are well prepared with adequate inventory for
selling this holiday season."

AFFINION GROUP: S&P Assigns Prelim. 'CCC-' Rating to $325MM Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary 'CCC-'
issue rating and preliminary '6' recovery rating to U.S.-based
integrated marketer Affinion Group Holdings Inc.'s proposed
$325 million 13.75%/14.50% senior secured paid-in-kind (PIK)
toggle notes due 2018 and to Affinion Investments LLC's proposed
$362.6 million 13.50% senior subordinated notes due 2018.  The
preliminary '6' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for
negligible (0%-10%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.  Affinion Investments LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Affinion Group Holdings Inc.

Proceeds will be used to exchange Affinion Group Inc.'s 11.5%
senior subordinated notes due 2015 and Affinion Group Holdings
Inc.'s 11.625% senior notes due 2015.  Pro forma for the
transaction, total debt remained unchanged at $2.2 billion.

S&P's rating on Affinion Group Holdings reflects its expectation
that the company will complete the exchange of its 11.625% senior
notes due 2015 and its operating subsidiary Affinion Group Inc.'s
11.5% senior subordinated notes due 2015 for the proposed debt due
in 2018.  If the company completes the transaction, S&P would view
it as distressed and tantamount to a default, given Affinion Group
Holdings' limited ability to service its November 2014 interest
payment and refinance $680 million of debt due 2015.  If the
alternative to such tenders is a general default, investors or
counterparties could fare even worse, and S&P believes that this
possibility may motivate them to accept the offer.

S&P views Affinion's financial risk profile as "highly leveraged"
because of its elevated leverage, at almost 9.0x as of Sept. 30,
2013, and low discretionary cash flow generation relative to its
outstanding debt balance.  S&P views the company's business risk
profile as "weak" because of continued membership attrition in
many of its services, some affinity partner concentration
(especially in the financial services industry), and competitive
pressures in the membership marketing business.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Nov. 25 Hearing on Deal With U.S. Govt.
----------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corporation, American Airlines, Inc., and their debtor
affiliates, together with U.S. Airways Group, Inc., executed and
entered into a settlement with the United States Department of
Justice and several plaintiff states in the lawsuit seeking to
enjoin the proposed merger between AMR and US Airways.

Pursuant to the settlement, the parties have agreed to a final
resolution of the DOJ Action, without trial or adjudication of any
issue of fact or law, pursuant to which the DOJ Defendants will,
inter alia, divest certain rights and assets more fully described
below to remedy the loss of competition alleged in the complaint
in the DOJ Action.  The Divestiture Assets consist of certain
slots and gates at Washington Reagan National Airport and New York
LaGuardia Airport, and two gates each at Boston Logan
International Airport, Chicago O'Hare International Airport,
Dallas Love Field, Los Angeles International Airport, and Miami
International Airport.  The Divestiture Assets also include
associated ground facilities necessary to operate the Divestiture
Assets.

The Settlement also includes a Supplemental Stipulated Order with
the Plaintiff States, which encompasses a commitment by New AAG
-- the new merged entity -- for specified periods of time, subject
to certain conditions, to (a) maintain certain hubs and (b)
provide daily scheduled service from one or more hubs to certain
airports that had the service at the time the DOJ Action was
commenced.

"The terms of the Settlement and the effect of the divestiture of
the Divestiture Assets have been thoroughly analyzed and vetted by
AMR's Board of Directors and the Debtors' management.  Based on
this analysis, which has included detailed input from the Debtors'
retained professionals, the Board and the Debtors have concluded
that the benefits to be derived from the Settlement far outweigh
the continued pursuit of the DOJ Action and the risks and
uncertainty associated therewith," AMR's counsel, Stephen
Karotkin, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York, says
in court papers.

Despite the planned divestments, antitrust and airline-industry
experts said the settlement was a victory for the airlines, The
Wall Street Journal said.  The pair now aims to complete their
merger by December, creating American Airlines Group Inc., the
world's largest airline.

US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker, who will lead the combined
carrier, said in an interview with The Journal that the
concessions were "not material enough to offset what we said the
day we announced," which was that the merger would create more
than $1 billion in total annual cost savings and revenue gains.

The Journal said the concessions are far more limited than what
the Justice Department called for when it sued to block the
merger.

"I think it'd be an overstatement to say the [Justice Department]
settled for a mere slap on the wrist," said antitrust attorney
Jeffrey Shinder, a partner at Constantine Cannon LLP, the Journal
cited.  "But the settlement certainly . . . doesn't address the
fundamental issues behind the [government's] complaint."  Those
issues, he told the Journal, include the potential for the three
biggest remaining carriers -- United Continental Holdings Inc.,
Delta Air Lines Inc., and the new American -- to cooperate on
pricing, and the loss of "a maverick" US Airways that had helped
keep competition strong.

The settlement is subject to the approval of Judge Sean Lane of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
where AMR's Chapter 11 case is pending.  The federal antitrust
lawsuit filed on Aug. 13, 2013, is U.S. v. US Airways Group Inc.,
Case No. 13-cv-01236, before Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The Debtors ask the Bankruptcy Court to convene a hearing on
Nov. 25, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) to approve the
settlement.  The District Court in Washington is slated to begin
the antitrust trial also on Nov. 25.

Alfredo R. Perez, Esq., and Stephen A. Youngman, Esq., at WEIL,
GOTSHAL & MANGES LLP, in New York, also represent AMR and its
debtor affiliates in their Chapter 11 cases.  John M. Marjoras,
Esq., Paula Render, Esq., Michael S. Fried, Esq., and Rosanna K.
McCalips, Esq., at Jones Day, in Washington, D.C.; and Mary Jean
Moltenbrey, Esq., at Paul Hastings LLP, in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Airways is represented by Richard G. Parker, Esq., Henry
Thumman, Esq. -- and Courtney Dyer, Esq., at O'Melveny & Myers
LLP, in Washington, D.C.; Kenneth R. O'Rourke, Esq., at O'Melveny
& Myers LLP, in Los Angeles, California; Paul T. Denis, Esq.,
Gorav Jindal, Esq., at Dechert LLP, in Washington, D.C.; and
Charles F. Rule, Esq., and Andrew Forman, Esq., at Cadwalader,
Wickersham & Taft LLP, in Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Government is represented by Michael D. Billiel, Esq. --
michael.billiel@usdoj.gov -- trial attorney, U.S. Department of
Justice, Antitrust Division, in Washington, D.C.

The remaining Plaintiff States are the District of Columbia, State
of Florida, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Tennessee,
Commonwealth of Virginia, and State of Michigan.  As part of the
settlement, the airlines agreed to maintain service to cities in
the six remaining Plaintiff States.  The States of Arizona and
Texas originally joined the lawsuit but they eventually dropped
from the suit.

                   TWU Lauds DOJ Settlement

Transport Workers Union of America Air Transport Director Garry
Drummond on Nov. 12 issued a statement on the Settlement between
American Airlines, US Airways and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Mr. Drummond said "We're pleased that an agreement between
American Airlines, US Airways and the Department of Justice has
been reached.  The DoJ's actions in recent weeks were the
equivalent of hitting a pause button on workers' wages, benefits
and job security.

"[Tues]day's announcement will allow TWU members at American
Airlines to gain long-delayed raises.  Negotiations for our
members at US Airways have been in limbo as a result of the DoJ's
actions, those talks can now move forward.  We also can begin to
move forward on working out final details related to combining the
two airlines' work groups."

"As a result of [Tues]day's announcement, the merger will now move
forward, but many critical details related to airline workers
remain to be addressed.  We're not done yet."

Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) represents 200,000
workers and retirees, primarily in commercial aviation, public
transportation and passenger railroads.  The union is an affiliate
of the AFL-CIO.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Wants Daugherty Hiring Effective April 1
-----------------------------------------------------------
American Airlines and its affiliates ask the bankruptcy court to
amend its order authorizing the employment of Daugherty, Fowler,
Peregrin, Haught & Jenson, PC, as their special counsel, nunc pro
tunc to June 1, 2013.

The Debtors specifically seek to amend the nunc pro tunc approval
of the Original Employment Order from June 1, 2013 to April 1,
2013.

Daugherty Fowler was originally authorized to provide the Debtors
legal services as an ordinary course professional.  Under the OCP
Order, monthly fees for ordinary course professionals are capped
at $50,000.  Daugherty Fowler exceeded the monthly cap on certain
occasions and believed it had exceeded the case cap on or about
June 1, 2013.  Therefore, the Debtors filed an application to
employ Daugherty Fowler pursuant to Section 327(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code, nunc pro tunc to June 1, 2013.

Daugherty Fowler, however, determined it had actually exceeded the
case cap on or about April 1, 2013, and not June 1, 2013.  By this
motion, the Debtors seek to amend the effective date of the
Employment Order from June 1, 2013, to April 1, 2013, so that
Daugherty Fowler may seek compensation of fees and reimbursement
of expenses relating to services rendered as of April 1, 2013.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: "Fjord" Suit Voluntarily Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------
Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the action Carolyn Fjord, et al.,
v. US Airways Group, Inc., et al., No. 13-3041-SBA, which was
filed in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, according to American Airlines' Oct. 17,
2013, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

A purported class action lawsuit captioned Carolyn Fjord, et al.,
v. US Airways Group, Inc., et al., No. 13-3041-SBA was filed in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California. The complaint alleges that the effect of the Merger
may be to substantially lessen competition, or tend to create a
monopoly, in the transportation of airline passengers in the
United States and certain submarkets, in violation of Section 7 of
the Clayton Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 18.

The complaint seeks a declaration that the Merger Agreement
violates Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act, an injunction
against the Merger, or divestiture, an award of fees and costs,
including attorney's fees, and other relief. On August 6, 2013,
the plaintiffs re-filed their complaint in the Bankruptcy Court,
and on October 2, 2013 voluntarily dismissed the California
action.

Even if the company successfully resolve the DOJ Action, the
courts in these private lawsuits could enjoin the Merger, or could
further materially delay its consummation. If such private
lawsuits are not successfully resolved, it is possible that the
Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned. Even
if successfully resolved, such private lawsuits could result in
terms, conditions, requirements, limitations, costs or
restrictions that would delay completion of the Merger, impose
additional material costs on or materially limit the revenues of
the company or the combined company, or materially limit some of
the synergies and other benefits the company anticipates following
the Merger.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against US Airways Group, AMR
and/or the directors of either company, in connection with the
Merger. One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger is that
no order, writ, injunction, decree or any other legal rules,
regulations, directives or policies will be in effect that prevent
completion of the Merger.  Consequently, if a settlement or other
resolution is not reached in the pending lawsuits, and such other
potential lawsuits, if any, and the plaintiffs secure injunctive
or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely
affecting the defendants' ability to complete the Merger, then
such injunctive or other relief may prevent the Merger from
becoming effective within the expected time frame or at all.

AMERICAN AXLE: Closes Sale of $200 Million Senior Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., completed the
closing of the sale of $200 million aggregate principal amount of
5.125 percent senior notes due 2019.  The Notes are guaranteed on
a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of AAM's
current and future subsidiaries.

The Notes were issued by AAM pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of
Nov. 3, 2011, by and among AAM, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank
National Association, as trustee, which governs the terms of the
Notes.

                        About American Axle

Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, American Axle & Manufacturing
Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AXL) -- http://www.aam.com/-- manufactures,
engineers, designs and validates driveline and drivetrain systems
and related components and chassis modules for light trucks, sport
utility vehicles, passenger cars, crossover vehicles and
commercial vehicles.

                           *     *     *

In September 2012, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the 'B1'
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating
(PDR) of American Axle.

American Axle carries a 'BB-' corporate credit rating from
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.  "The 'BB-' corporate credit
rating on American Axle reflects the company's 'weak' business
risk profile and 'aggressive' financial risk profile, which
incorporate substantial exposure to the highly cyclical light-
vehicle market," S&P said, as reported by the TCR on Sept. 6,
2012.

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 5, 2013, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed the 'B+' Issuer Default Ratings of American Axle &
Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (AXL) and its American Axle &
Manufacturing, Inc. (AAM) subsidiary.  The ratings and Positive
Outlook for AXL and AAM are supported by Fitch's expectation that
the drivetrain and driveline supplier's credit profile will
strengthen over the intermediate term, despite some deterioration
over the past year.


AMERICAN MEDIA: S&P Raises CCR to 'CCC+' on Notes Exchange
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Boca Raton, Fla.-based American Media Inc. to 'CCC+'
from 'SD'.  The rating outlook is negative.

In addition, S&P raised the issue-level rating on the unexchanged
13.5% second-lien notes due 2018 to 'CCC-' from 'D'.  The recovery
rating on this debt remains '6', indicating S&P's expectation for
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The 'CCC+' issue-level rating on American Media's 11.5% first-lien
notes due 2017 is affirmed.  The recovery rating on this debt
remains '3', indicating S&P's expectation for meaningful (50% to
70%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

"The upgrade follows the company's exchange of $94.3 million of
its $104.9 million 13.5% second-lien cash-pay notes due 2018 for
privately held $94.3 million 10% second-lien notes due 2018," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Hal Diamond.

American Media's new second-lien notes are payable in kind until
Dec. 15, 2016, and then revert back to their original 13.5% cash
interest pay terms until maturity in 2018.  In conjunction with
the transaction, the company has agreed to use the $12.7 million
that it would have paid in annual interest on its second-lien
notes to repurchase first-lien notes.

"We believe the company's current highly leveraged capital
structure is unsustainable over the medium term, given the
accretion of the second-lien notes and our expectation that
continued declines in circulation and volatility in advertising
revenue will result in deteriorating operating performance and
rising debt leverage," said Mr. Diamond.  "Still, we acknowledge
that the transaction reduces cash interest expense by roughly 23%
and increase pro forma discretionary cash flow by $12.7 million."

The corporate credit rating on American Media reflects S&P's
expectation that leverage will remain high, given the structural
pressures of declining newsstand sales and volatile print
advertising revenues facing the magazine publishing business, and
accretion of its second-lien notes.  S&P sees the risk that cost
reductions may not fully offset the company's weak revenue trends
as highly likely.  As a result, S&P views the company's business
risk profile as "vulnerable" based on its criteria.  S&P views the
company's financial risk profile as "highly leveraged" based on
its private ownership by financial institutions and substantial
debt leverage.  S&P assess the company's management and governance
as "fair."

due 2015, and to pay the redemption premium with respect to the

subsidiaries.  The Notes will be secured by a second priority lien
on substantially all of Appvion's assets, and the Guarantees will

assets of the guarantors.

On Nov. 11, 2013, Appvion, Paperweight Development Corp., and
Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, and certain
lenders entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement
dated June 28, 2013, by and among the Company, PDC and the lenders
party thereto.

BEATS ELECTRONICS: Moody's Rates $300MM Secured Debt Due 2018 'B1'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 (LGD 3, 36%) rating to
Beats Electronics, LLC's new $300 million credit facilities, while
affirming its B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and B2-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR). The outlook is stable.

The new credit facilities replace the $225 million senior secured
term loan due June 2014 ( whose rating is being withdrawn as a
result of the transaction) in connection with a $500 million
equity investment from private equity firm Carlyle Group. As a
result, Carlyle replaces HTC as the new minority equity holder of
the company.

Rating actions are as follows:

Ratings assigned:

$75 million senior secured revolver expiring 2018, rated B1 (LGD
3, 36%)

$225 million senior secured term loan due 2018, rated B1 (LGD 3,
36%)

Ratings affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating of B2

Probability of Default Rating of B2-PD

Rating withdrawn:

$225 million senior secured term loan due 2014, at Ba3 (LGD 3,
31%)

Ratings Rationale:

The B2 CFR reflects Beats' nearly singular but growing product
offering, limited scale, as well as the key man risk due to
company's reliance on its founders who have been instrumental in
the company's early success. The rating also reflects Moody's
concern with the sustainability of the company's revenue and
earnings growth -- which has been extremely strong in recent years
-- given its limited operating history and high business risk.
Moody's anticipates that revenue growth will moderate considerably
in the near term and could decline in the medium to longer term if
the company fails to successfully innovate and create products
that are appealing to its core customers versus competition.
Moody's recognizes the increasing popularity and recognition of
its "Beats by Dr. Dre" brand name, leading market share (although
in a narrow category) in the premium headphone segment, increasing
market presence of speaker products and relatively modest
leverage. Moody's believes that demand for headphones and
earphones will continue to be driven by the growth of smartphones,
tablets and digital content in the next several years, both in the
US and internationally. In addition, Moody's views favorably the
more conservative debt structure put in place as a result of the
refinancing.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's view that Beats' business will
remain highly concentrated in the niche headphone and earphone
market, with high exposure to fashion and technology risk, and the
possibility of a material slowdown in revenue and earnings growth.
The outlook also reflects Moody's expectation of modest revenue
growth, supported by product innovation and new product launches,
which are key to Beats' future earnings.

Prior to an upgrade, Beats would need to establish a longer track
record demonstrating the sustainability of the company's revenue,
earnings growth, and cash flow, as well as establish greater
product diversification. The ratings could be upgraded if the
company is able to maintain its market share and improve operating
margins, leading to increased brand equity over time.
Additionally, an upgrade is predicated on the company maintaining
a conservative financial policy.

The ratings could be downgraded if the company experiences
material revenue or earnings declines due to a reduction in demand
or margin erosion that would affect the company's liquidity
profile or cash generation. Moody's could also downgrade Beats'
ratings if debt/EBITDA rises above 4.0x. A large debt funded
dividend payment would also put negative pressure on the ratings
and/or outlook.

Beats Electronics, LLC, headquartered in Santa Monica, CA,
designs, produces, and sells high-end consumer audio products
including headphones, earphones, and speakers, mainly under the
brand "Beats by Dr. Dre". The company was established in 2006.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Breeden Opens $2.35B Door for Indirect Victims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that victims of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities
Inc. who invested through feeder funds stand to receive a share of
$2.35 billion forfeited to the U.S. government. So far, feeder-
fund investors have been precluded from receiving distributions by
the trustee appointed under the Securities Investor Protection Act
to wind down Madoff's business.

According to the report, the $2.35 billion is the government's
share of forfeitures, mostly a $7.2 billion settlement with the
estate of the late Jeffry M. Picower. The Madoff trustee, Irving
Picard, already earmarked his $5 billion share for distribution to
customers.

Richard C. Breeden, a former chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, was appointed by the government in December
to serve as special master and oversee distribution of the $2.35
billion. On his website, Breeden said on Nov. 18 that he will make
recoveries available to 12,000 investors, where Picard is making
payments only to about 1,000 remaining direct customers.

Breeden's announcement "creates chaos in the Madoff claims
marketplace and undermines the trustee's ability to resolve this
case timely," said Joe Sarachek, a managing director of special
situations from CRT Special Investments LLC who trades Madoff
claims.

The forfeited funds will be handed out based on the cash-in, cash-
out methodology also used by Picard. The difference is that Picard
is only paying claims of those who invested directly with Madoff.
For someone who invested through a feeder fund that in turn put
their money with Madoff, Picard isn't paying the claim.

From his distribution, Breeden said he will subtract whatever a
victim recovered from Picard. The deadline for filing a claim with
Breeden is Feb. 28.

Breeden said his method will "recognize billions of dollars in
investor losses that have previously not been acknowledged." Every
investor's loss will be measured "individually," Breeden said, not
as a part of a group.

"We wish Mr. Breeden and his team much success in the process that
is now under way," said Amanda Remus, a spokeswoman for Picard.
Remus said Breeden's announcement "is an important development in
the Madoff recovery effort."

Breeden hinted in September that he might not use the same claims-
paying methodology as Picard.

Picard must make distributions to creditors who fall within the
definition of "customers" under SIPA. The courts ruled that
feeder-fund investors aren't customers of the Madoff firm and thus
aren't entitled to get distributions. Forfeiture law gives Breeden
more discretion in developing a scheme for distribution.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

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

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

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

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

From recoveries in lawsuits coupled with money advanced by SIPC,
Mr. Picard has paid about 58 percent of customer claims totaling
$17.3 billion.  The most recent distribution was in March 2013.

Mr. Picard has collected about $9.35 billion, not including an
additional $2.2 billion that was forfeit to the government and
likewise will go to customers.  Picard is holding almost
$4.4 billion he can't distribute on account of outstanding
appeals and disputes.  The largest holdback, almost $2.8 billion,
results from disputed claims.


BIO-RAD LABORATORIES: Moody's Affirms Ba1 CFR Over Notes Repayment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Ba1 Corporate Family Rating
and Ba1-PD Probability of Default Rating of Bio-Rad Laboratories,
Inc. ("Bio-Rad; NYSE: BIO") following the repayment of $300
million of subordinated notes. Moody's also affirmed the Ba1
rating on the company's senior unsecured notes. The Speculative
Grade Liquidity Rating is affirmed at SGL-1 and the rating outlook
is positive.

Ratings affirmed/LGD point estimates revised:

Corporate Family Rating, Ba1

Probability of Default Rating, Ba1-PD

$425 million Senior Unsecured Notes, due 2020, to Ba1 (LGD4, 63%)
from Ba1 (LGD4, 50%)

Speculative Liquidity Rating, SGL-1

The outlook is positive.

The Ba1 Corporate Family Rating reflects Bio-Rad's leading
competitive position within its core, niche markets. The ratings
are further supported by the recurring nature of roughly 70% of
revenues and Bio-Rad's diversified geographic, and customer base.
These factors have helped support a long history of growth and
stable financial performance. The ratings are also supported by
the company's conservative financial policies, and modest
leverage.

The ratings are constrained by the company's significant
concentration of operating profit in a single market (clinical
diagnostics) and its modest size, both on an absolute basis and
relative to competitors. The ratings also reflect risks associated
with significant deficiencies in internal controls over financial
reporting disclosed in the company's SEC filings, as well as the
potential for operating disruption from a major on-going ERP
implementation. While investments the company is currently making
in R&D and information technology will benefit the company over
the longer-term, they will constrain margins and free cash flow
over the next 12-18 months. Lastly, Bio-Rad will continue to face
headwinds due to its significant exposure to government funding,
both in Europe in the diagnostics business and in the US in the
life science business.

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if the company continues to
demonstrate steady organic revenue growth and makes progress in
remediating its reporting and control deficiencies. If Moody's
believes Bio-Rad will maintain its conservative financial policies
such that adjusted debt to EBITDA will be sustained below 2.5
times and operating cash flow to debt will be sustained above 30%,
the ratings could be upgraded.

If increased competition, adverse economic conditions or
government funding trends negatively impact Bio-Rad's revenue and
cash flow in a meaningful way, Moody's could downgrade the
ratings. Specifically, if leverage will be sustained above 3.5
times and free cash flow to debt will be sustained below 10%,
Moody's could downgrade the ratings.

Bio-Rad, based in Hercules, California, operates in two industry
segments, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics. The Life Science
segment includes products for research, drug discovery and food
pathogen testing, primarily in the laboratory setting. The
Clinical Diagnostic segment includes tests used to detect,
identify and quantify substances in blood or other body fluids and
tissues, primarily used in hospital and reference laboratories.
Bio-Rad reported revenues of $2.1 billion for the twelve months
ended September 30, 2013.

report on Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2013.  The
Company said the compilation, dissemination and review of the
information required to be presented in the Form 10-Q has imposed
time constraints that have rendered timely filing of the Form

BPP TEXAS: Fights Receiver Plan After Hotel Selloff
---------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that bankrupt hotel operator BPP LLC and creditor
Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania dueled in Texas bankruptcy court on
Nov. 18 over whether BPP?s failure to sell off hotel assets under
its reorganization plan should justify the appointment of a
receiver.

According to the report, Citizens Bank on Nov. 8 sought to reopen
a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, claiming BPP has failed to meet
agreed deadlines to sell off its 22 budget hotel properties and
requesting that hospitality ownership and advisory firm GF
Management be appointed as a receiver.

BRAND ENERGY: S&P Assigns 'CCC+' Rating to New $550MM Unsec. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'CCC+' issue-level
rating to Kennesaw, Ga.-based Brand Energy & Infrastructure
Services' (Brand's) proposed $550 million senior unsecured notes
due 2021. Bullseye MergerSub Inc. (Bullseye) is the borrower.  The
recovery rating on the proposed notes is '6', indicating that
lenders could expect negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of
a payment default or bankruptcy.

The issuance relates to the debt-financing transaction that Brand
launched last week, which is associated with Brand's acquisition
by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC and intended merger with Harsco
Corp.'s infrastructure business before the end of this year.  The
transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and, if completed
as planned, S&P expects Bullseye will merge with Brand and Brand
will emerge as the surviving rated entity and borrower.

S&P expects Brand will use most of the net proceeds from the
proposed $550 million note issuance (in addition to the company's
recently proposed $1,225 million senior secured term loan due
2020) to refinance existing debt.

The ratings are subject to S&P's review of final documentation
once the debt-financing transaction is complete.  Also once the
transaction is complete, S&P will withdraw the ratings on the
existing credit facilities (these facilities comprised a
$75 million revolving credit facility, $775 million first-lien
term loan, and $300 million second-lien term loan).

Pro forma for the proposed note issuance, Brand's debt to EBITDA
would be about 6.5x for 2013 (including our adjustments, mainly
for operating leases), with weak free operating cash flow (FOCF)
prospects relative to its debt burden.

S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating on Brand remains unchanged,
reflecting its assessment of its business risk profile as "weak"
and its financial risk profile as "highly leveraged."  S&P expects
gradual improvement in Brand's credit metrics in 2014, although
they will likely remain at the lower end of S&P's expectations for
the rating.  For the rating, we expect a ratio of adjusted debt to
EBITDA of about 6x or less and FOCF to total debt in the low-
single-digit area.

net loss of $110,786 on $891,372 of total net revenues for the

million in total assets, $1.86 million in total liabilities and a
$706,159 total stockholders' deficit.

                  Going Concern/Bankruptcy Warning

"During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company formed a joint
venture with one dive entity, and in the first quarter of 2012,
purchased the assets of another, with assumption of their retail
location lease.  The Company accomplished both transactions
predominantly through issuance of restricted common stock in BWMG.
The Company believed these transactions would help generate
sufficient working capital in the future.  However, to-date
neither generated profit or cash-flow.  Effective May 31, 2013,
the Company closed and ceased operations at its retail facility.
The Company is still involved in the joint venture.  See Note 18.
JOINT VENTURE EQUITY EXCHANGE AGREEMENT and Note 8.  ASSET
PURCHASE for further discussion of these transactions.  As a
result, the Company does not expect that existing cash flow will
be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations beyond the
fourth quarter of 2013.  This raises substantial doubt about
BWMG's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will
need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring
alternative sources of financing.  We have issued a number of
convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance our
working capital needs as discussed in Note 12.  CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES and may continue to raise additional capital through
sale of restricted common stock or other securities, and obtained
some short term loans.  We have paid for legal and consulting
services with restricted stock to maximize working capital.  We
intend to continue this practice when possible.  We have
implemented some cost saving measures and will continue to explore
more to reduce operating expenses.

"If we fail to raise additional funds when needed, or do not have
sufficient cash flows from sales, we may be required to scale back
or cease operations, liquidate our assets and possibly seek
bankruptcy protection.  The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty."

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: 95% of Subscription Rights Exercised
-----------------------------------------------------------
Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced that the subscription
period of the previously announced offering of Class A common
stock of Caesars Acquisition Company to holders of subscriptions
rights expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Nov. 2, 2013.

The results of the offering indicate that approximately 95.2
percent of the basic subscription rights were exercised by holders
of the subscription rights.  In addition, holders of subscription
rights elected to retain approximately 0.8 percent of the
aggregate basic subscription rights and other holders of
subscription rights who exercised their basic subscription rights
in full requested to purchase 79,347,563 additional shares of
Class A Common Stock pursuant to the over-subscription privilege
such that the offering, other than with respect to the Class A
Common Stock underlying the subscription rights that were
retained, is expected to be fully subscribed.  Accordingly, after
giving effect to the subscription rights that were retained,
Caesars expects CAC to distribute a total of 135,771,882 shares of
Class A Common Stock to the holders of subscription rights who
validly exercised their subscription rights and paid the
subscription price in full, including pursuant to the exercise of
the over-subscription privilege.

Based on the results of the offering, Caesars estimates that CAC
will receive aggregate gross proceeds from the offering of
approximately $1,173.1 million.

Subscription rights that were not validly exercised by 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Expiration Date, or deemed exercised by
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, if those
rights were validly exercised by mail and postmarked on or before
the Expiration Date and received by the subscription agent before
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Nov. 5, 2013, have expired and
are no longer exercisable.  As a result, all unexercised
subscription rights, including subscription rights that were
retained, are void, of no value and have ceased to be exercisable
for shares of Class A Common Stock.

Caesars expects that on or about Nov. 18, 2013, after the
subscription agent has effected all allocations and adjustments
contemplated by the terms of the offering, the offering will be
completed and CAC will distribute the shares of Class A Common
Stock to holders of subscription rights who validly exercised
their subscription rights and paid the subscription price in full.

CAC has applied to list shares of its Class A Common Stock for
trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol
"CACQ", which has been updated since CAC's initial application;
however, there can be no assurances that CAC will achieve a
listing upon completion of this offering or thereafter.

CAC is a newly formed company created to facilitate the previously
announced strategic transaction pursuant to which Caesars has
formed a new growth-oriented entity, Caesars Growth Partners, LLC,
to be owned by Caesars and CAC. Upon the consummation of the
offering, Caesars expects that CAC will own approximately 42.4
percent of the economic interests of Growth Partners, and Caesars
will own approximately 57.6 percent of the economic interests of
Growth Partners.

Common Stock, please contact the information agent, Georgeson
Inc., at (888) 624-2255 (Toll Free) or, if you are a banks or

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.

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

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

                       About Camco Financial

Cambridge, Ohio-based Camco Financial Corporation is a bank
holding company that was organized under Delaware law in 1970.
Camco is engaged in the financial services business in Ohio,
Kentucky and West Virginia, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Advantage Bank, an Ohio bank.  On March 31, 2011, Camco divested
activities related to Camco Title Agency and decertified as a
financial holding company.  Camco remains a bank holding company
and continues to be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.

Plante & Moran PLLC, in Auburn Hills, Michigan, noted that the
Corporation's bank subsidiary is not in compliance with revised
minimum regulatory capital requirements under a formal regulatory

with the regulatory agreement may result in additional regulatory
enforcement actions.

Camco's wholly-owned subsidiary Advantage Bank's Tier 1 capital
does not meet the requirements set forth in the 2012 Consent
Order.  As a result, the Corporation will need to increase capital
levels.

net interest income of $214,000 on net interest income (before
provision for loan losses) of $25.9 million in 2011.


CAMP INTERNATIONAL: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B-'; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Ronkonkoma, N.Y.-based CAMP International Holding Co. to
'B-' from 'B', reflecting the increase in leverage resulting from
its dividend recapitalization.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level ratings on the
company's existing revolving credit facility and first-lien term
loan (increased by $75 million as a part of this transaction) to
'B-' from 'B', reflecting the lower corporate credit rating.  The
recovery rating on this debt remains '3', indicating S&P's
expectations for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery of principal in
the event of a payment default.

S&P also assigned a 'CCC' issue-level rating with a recovery
rating of '6' to the company's' new $145 million second-lien term
loan.  The '6' recovery rating indicates expectations for
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The downgrade reflects a significant increase in pro forma
leverage and weaker debt protection metrics, following the
proposed dividend recapitalization.

The ratings on CAMP reflect the company's "weak" business risk
profile, characterized by its narrow market and product focus, its
modest scale, and its "highly leveraged" financial risk profile.
The company's leading market position, solid operating margins,
and stable cash flow generation partly offset these factors.

CAMP is a provider of aircraft maintenance tracking and
information services, which include engine condition trend
monitoring, to business aviation globally.  Its solutions allow
its customers to maintain the aircraft in compliance with
manufacturer maintenance manuals and regulatory requirements, as
well as to forecast upcoming maintenance and related expenses.


CAMP INTERNATIONAL: Moody's Downgrades Rating to B-
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Camp International Holding Co., a provider of
aircraft maintenance tracking services, has a B- corporate rating
on Nov. 19 following the Nov. 18 one-level downgrade by Standard &
Poor's.

According to the report, the Ronkonkoma, New York-based company is
enlarging the first-lien term loan by $75 million and selling a
new $145 million second-lien term loan.

The loans will be used for a dividend to shareholders and to
refinance the existing $115 million second-lien term loan.

The new second-lien credit will have a CCC rating from S&P,
coupled with a judgment that the holders won't recover more than
10 percent if there is a payment default.


CAPITOL BANCORP: Seal Approval Sought, Denied
---------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that Capitol Bancorp's official committee
of unsecured creditors filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court an ex
parte motion for leave to file its objection to the Company's sale
motion under seal.

The committee states, "The Objection may include or reference
documents from the River Branch Production marked CONFIDENTIAL.
The Objection will also reference certain information in the
Transcript of the Kent Deposition. The Committee does not believe
that the information set forth in the River Branch Production or
the Transcript of the Kent Deposition is or ought to be
confidential. However, counsel for River Branch has informed the
Committee that River Branch considers the information in question
to be confidential, and requests that such information not be
disclosed in a publicly filed pleading. Accordingly, the Committee
is filing this Motion to file the Objection under seal."

The Court subsequently denied this motion to seal.

that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.  During the Company's most recent
fiscal year and the subsequent interim period preceding the
Company's decision to dismiss RBSM LLP the Company had no
disagreements with the firm on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of

of RBSM LLP would have caused it to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

During the Company's most recent fiscal year and the subsequent
interim period prior to retaining HHC (1) neither the Company nor
anyone on its behalf consulted HHC regarding (a) either the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on our financial statements or (b) any matter
that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as
set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of
Regulation S-K, and (2) HHC did not provide us with a written
report or oral advice that they concluded was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue.

                        About Cumulus Media

Founded in 1998, Atlanta, Georgia-based Cumulus Media Inc.
(NASDAQ: CMLS) -- http://www.cumulus.com/-- is an operator of
radio stations, currently serving 110 metro markets with more than
525 stations.  In the third quarter of 2011, Cumulus Media
purchased Citadel Broadcasting, adding more than 200 stations and
increasing its reach in 7 of the Top 10 US metros.  Cumulus also
acquired the Citadel/ABC Radio Network, which serves 4,000+ radio
stations and 121 million listeners, in the transaction

Cumulus Media said in its annual report for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, that lenders under the 2011 Credit Facilities have
taken security interests in substantially all of the Company's
consolidated assets, and the Company has pledged the stock of
certain of its subsidiaries to secure the debt under the 2011
Credit Facilities.  If the lenders accelerate the repayment of
borrowings, the Company may be forced to liquidate certain assets
to repay all or part of such borrowings, and the Company cannot
assure that sufficient assets will remain after it has paid all of
the borrowings under those 2011 Credit Facilities.  If the Company
was unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed
against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness
and the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Cumulus Media put AR Broadcasting Holdings Inc. and three other
units to Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
11-13674) in 2011 after struggling to pay off debts that topped
$97 million as of June 30, 2011.  Holdings estimated debts between
$50 million and $100 million but said assets are worth less than
$50 million.  AR Broadcasting operated radio stations in Missouri
and Texas.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $3.67
billion in total assets, $3.40 billion in total liabilities and
$268.43 million in total stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in October 2011 affirmed is 'B'
corporate credit rating on Cumulus Media.

"The ratings reflect continued economic weakness and higher post-
acquisition leverage than we initially expected," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith. "They also reflect the
combined company's sizable presence in both large and midsize
markets throughout the U.S."

As reported by the TCR on April 3, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Cumulus Media, Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to B2
from B1 and Probability of Default Rating to B2-PD from B1-PD.
The downgrades reflect Moody's view that the pace of debt
repayment and delevering will be slower than expected.  Although
EBITDA for 4Q2012 reflects growth over the same period in the
prior year, results fell short of Moody's expectations.

DETROIT, MI: Could Pay Higher Loan Rate, Unsealed Letter Shows
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Hals and Karen Pierog, writing for Reuters, reported that
Detroit could end up paying almost twice as much in interest as
previously disclosed on a $350 million loan arranged by Barclays
Capital, according to a fee letter made public on Nov. 18 after a
judge ordered it unsealed last week.

According to the report, U.S. Judge Steven Rhodes on Nov. 14
thwarted efforts to keep the cost of a debtor-in-possession
financing under wraps, noting the so-called fee letter was subject
to Michigan's Freedom of Information Act.

The letter disclosed that Barclays would collect 1.25 percent of
the loan, but not less than $750,000, for committing to a
controversial financing deal with Detroit, the report related.

The city and Barclays Capital had requested the fees be kept a
secret because the details are commercially sensitive and might
raise the price of the loan, the report said.

Barclays declined to comment and the spokesman for the city state-
appointed emergency manager did not immediately respond to a
request for comment, according to Reuters.

                   About Detroit, Michigan

The city of Detroit, Michigan, weighed down by more than
$18 billion in accrued obligations, sought municipal bankruptcy
protection on July 18, 2013, by filing a voluntary Chapter 9
petition (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No. 13-53846).  Detroit listed
more than $1 billion in both assets and debts.

Kevyn Orr, who was appointed in March 2013 as Detroit's emergency
manager, signed the petition.  Detroit is represented by
lawyers at Jones Day and Miller Canfield Paddock and Stone PLC.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder authorized the bankruptcy filing.

The filing makes Detroit the largest American city to seek
bankruptcy, in terms of population and the size of the debts and
liabilities involved.

The city's $18 billion in debt includes $5.85 billion in special
revenue obligations, $6.4 billion in post-employment benefits,
$3.5 billion for underfunded pensions, $1.13 billion on secured
and unsecured general obligations, and $1.43 billion on pension-
related debt, according to a court filing.  Debt service consumes
42.5 percent of revenue.  The city has 100,000 creditors and
20,000 retirees.

DETROIT, MI: NAACP Appeals Ruling Halting Constitutionality Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Detroit Branch NAACP filed an appeal on Nov. 18 from
a ruling by the bankruptcy judge on Nov. 6 that a lawsuit in
federal court against Detroit's emergency manager can't go forward
in view of the city's municipal bankruptcy.

According to the report, in the suit filed in federal district
court before Detroit's bankruptcy, the NAACP challenges the
appointment of the emergency manager, saying the underlying state
law violates the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the
U.S. Constitution.

After Detroit's bankruptcy filing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven
Rhodes signed an order in July halting categories of lawsuits
against the city. The NAACP contended that the July order didn't
bar its suit.

On Nov. 6, Rhodes ruled that his July injunction indeed halted the
NAACP's suit. He also declined to allow the suit to go forward
because success would unseat the emergency manager.

Judge Rhodes said it made no sense for two courts simultaneously
to consider the constitutionality of the Michigan statutes. The
issue is part of the recently completed trial where Judge Rhodes
will decide if Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy.

Judge Rhodes did allow a second suit to go forward challenging the
state law because it didn't involve Detroit.

On Nov. 18 Detroit disclosed the 1.25 percent fee that Barclays
Plc will receive for arranging a $350 million loan to be used in
part to terminate swaps. The bankruptcy judge required disclosure
of the fees even though they ordinarily remain confidential in
corporate bankruptcies.

The last briefs have been filed in Detroit's bankruptcy-
eligibility trial. The parties await Judge Rhodes' decision.

DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Trustee Sues Ex-Partner Marcoux for $4.2 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sara Randazzo, writing for The Am Law Daily, reported that in what
could be the first in a series of suits against former Dewey &
LeBoeuf partners, the liquidation trustee overseeing the bankrupt
Dewey estate sued William Marcoux in an effort to recover $4.2
million in compensation and other benefits he received after the
firm had allegedly become insolvent. Marcoux is one of several
dozen former Dewey partners who opted not to join a $70 million
settlement finalized by the defunct firm's estate a year ago that
would have insulated him against such litigation.

According to the report, Trustee Alan Jacobs, who took on the role
of liquidating the firm's assets in March, said in the complaint
that he is seeking the return of $3.6 million in partner
distributions made to Marcoux between Jan. 1, 2009 -- when he says
the firm was already insolvent -- and Feb. 2012, when he left the
firm to join DLA Piper, as well as $128,000 in unpaid capital
contributions and $816,000 in tax payments Dewey made on Marcoux's
behalf.

By pegging the start of 2009 as the effective date of Dewey's
insolvency, the complaint claims the firm was unable to pay its
bills a full two years before the Jan. 1, 2011 date used to
calculate the amounts former partners owed under the so-called
partner contribution plan that Marcoux and others chose not to
sign on to, the report related.  That means Marcoux and any other
former partners targeted by Jacobs are potentially liable for much
more now than they would have been if they had participated in
that plan.

The report further related that hinting that other suits may
indeed by in the works, the complaint says, "Despite the Debtor's
insolvency and inability to pay creditors, it nevertheless
transferred tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars as
'distributions' to its partners."

When Marcoux, a former Dewey equity partner and executive
committee member, left the firm, he became one of the first major
defectors in what would eventually become a flood of departures in
the months prior to Dewey's May 28, 2012 Chapter 11 filing, the
report recalled.  The suit against him offers one of the first
official accounts of the events that ultimately resulted in the
largest law firm bankruptcy in U.S. history.

                       About Dewey & LeBoeuf

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

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP operated as a prestigious, New York City-
based, law firm that traced its roots to the 2007 merger of Dewey
Ballantine LLP -- originally founded in 1909 as Root, Clark & Bird
-- and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Green & MacCrae LLP -- originally founded in
1929.  In recent years, more than 1,400 lawyers worked at the firm
in numerous domestic and foreign offices.

At its peak, Dewey employed about 2,000 people with 1,300 lawyers
in 25 offices across the globe.  When it filed for bankruptcy,
only 150 employees were left to complete the wind-down of the
business.

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

The firm's ownership interest in its practice in Warsaw, Poland,
was sold to the firm of Greenberg Traurig PA on May 11 for
$6 million.  The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. took $2 million of
the proceeds as part of a settlement.

Judge Martin Glenn oversees the case.  Albert Togut, Esq., at
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, represents the Debtor.  Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions LLC serves as claims and notice agent.  The petition was

unsecured creditors and the second to represent former Dewey
partners.  The creditors committee hired Brown Rudnick LLP led by
Edward S. Weisfelner, Esq., as counsel.  The Former Partners hired

a trust to collect and distribute remaining assets.  The firm
estimated that midpoint recoveries for secured and unsecured
creditors under the plan would be 58.4 percent and 9.1 percent,
respectively.


DEX MEDIA: Buys Bank Debt Below Par
-----------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Dex Media Inc., formed in April when yellow page
publishers Dex One Corp. and SuperMedia Inc. implemented their
parallel reorganization plans, is buying up bank debt for less
than face amount.

According to the report, the plans were approved exactly six weeks
after the companies filed Chapter 11 petitions accompanied by
reorganization schemes the lenders accepted in advance. The plans
merged the two companies that both had been in bankruptcy before.

Dex One included provisions in the bank loan agreements allowing
the company to repurchase debt below face value.  Consequently,
Fort Worth, Texas-based Dex One intends to use about $100 million
to buy back bank debt at prices ranging from 62 percent to 78
percent of face amount, depending on the particular company liable
on the debt.

The offer expires on Nov. 22, the company said in a regulatory
filing. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA is agent for the lenders.

The plan paid lenders in full with new debt. Unsecured creditors
were fully paid so long as they continued providing credit.
Shareholders of the two companies share ownership of the merged
business.

DOLLAR FINANCIAL: Moody's Affirms 'B2' CFR & Unsec. Debt Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Dollar Financial
Group and subsidiaries (Corporate Family Rating and senior
unsecured debt at B2). Moody's also assigned a rating of B2 to the
U.S. Dollar equivalent

-- $650 million senior unsecured notes issuances of Dollar's
    wholly-owned subsidiaries National Money Mart Company and
    Dollar Financial UK Holding PLC. The rating outlook was
    changed to stable from positive.

Ratings Rationale:

Dollar intends to apply the net proceeds from the sale of the new
senior unsecured notes (which will be denominated in both Canadian
dollars and British pounds) to fund the purchase or redemption for
cash, at a premium, of all of the $600 million of National Money
Mart's 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 and pay related fees and
expenses.

Dollar's ratings reflect the company's strong market positions,
primarily in the UK and Canada, and diversification of business
activities in particular by product and distribution channel. The
ratings also take into account the continued risk of adverse
regulation, legislation and litigation related to the company's
consumer lending activities.

The change in outlook to stable from positive mainly reflects the
effects of the intensified regulatory environment related to the
short-term payday advance lending product, particularly in the UK,
Dollar's largest market. The company's financial results have been
adversely affected in recent periods by significantly tighter
payday lending requirements that will be put into effect beginning
in July 2014. Dollar has been an early mover in altering its
practices in the UK to comply with the tighter standards, which
negatively affected the company's revenues, earnings, and key debt
service and leverage metrics in the latter half of fiscal 2013 and
year to date in fiscal 2014. Moody's expects the drag on Dollar's
financial results to continue throughout fiscal 2014. The
regulatory environment in the US has become stricter as well, as
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau asserts its oversight of
the payday lending sector. Although the regulatory environment in
Canada (Dollar's second largest market) appears stable, in Moody's
view there exists the possibility of "regulatory convergence"
leading to more restrictive standards in Canada as well.

Dollar's ratings could be upgraded if the company successfully
navigates current regulatory challenges, achieves its revenue and
earnings targets, and improves key debt service (EBITDA/interest
expense) and leverage (debt/EBITDA) metrics, with interest
coverage greater than 2 times and leverage less than 4 times on a
sustained basis. Ratings could be downgraded if the company
experiences a significantly worse than anticipated operating
environment with attendant adverse effects on profitability and
financial condition.

Dollar is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DFC Global Corp. (ticker
symbol DLLR), a leading international financial services company
serving under-banked consumers. Dollar, based in Berwyn, PA,
reported total assets of $1,722 million at September 30, 2013.


DREW MARINE: S&P Retains 'B' Corp. Credit Rating on Loan Upsize
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on Drew
Marine Group Cooperatie U.A., including the 'B' corporate credit
rating, are unchanged following the company's upsize of its first-
lien term loan.  Drew Marine is upsizing its first-lien term loan
to $220 million from $205 million, and reducing its second-lien
term loan to $65 million from $80 million.  Thus, there is no
change in overall debt.

Although recovery prospects for the first-lien term loan lenders
diminish somewhat because of the facility upsize, the recovery
rating on that debt instrument remains '2', reflecting S&P's
expectation for substantial (70% to 90%) recovery of principal in
the event of a payment default.  The recovery rating on the
company's second-lien term loan remains '6', indicating S&P's
expectation for negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

DUMA ENERGY: Incurs $40.5 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2013
---------------------------------------------------------
Duma Energy Corp. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$40.47 million on $7.07 million of revenues for the year ended
July 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $4.57 million on
$7.16 million of revenues during the prior year.

The changes in results were predominantly due to, among other
things, these factors:

   * Revenues decreased due to lower oil prices and to lower gas
     volumes produced in the current fiscal year in comparison to
     fiscal 2012.

   * Lease operating expenses increased primarily due to the
     resumption of operations in one of our fields in Galveston
     Bay at the end of April 2012.  Because it was shut in during
     the majority of the year ended July 31, 2012, and it was
     operating during the entire year ended July 31, 2013, costs
     were lower in 2012.

   * Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased because
     of an increase in the amortization rate, which was
     attributable to a reduction in estimated reserves in the
     Company's reserve study dated July 31, 2013.

   * Accretion increased because of an increase in the estimated
     asset retirement obligation due to change in estimates which
     occurred during the year ended July 31, 2013.

As of July 31, 2013, the Company had $26.27 million in total
assets, $16.91 million in total liabilities and $9.36 million in
total stockholders' equity.

EDISON MISSION: Files Plan for Sale to NRG Energy
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Edison Mission Energy, the independent power producer
that's been in bankruptcy since December, filed a reorganization
plan to carry out a sale of its business to NRG Energy Inc.,
described as the largest competitive power producer in the U.S.

According to the report, in October, the bankruptcy court in
Chicago approved a support agreement under which EME's major
constituents agreed to support the plan, filed Nov. 15. EME is a
unit of non-bankrupt parent Edison International Inc.

NRG, based in Princeton, New Jersey, will pay $2.64 billion,
including $2.29 in cash billion and $350 million in stock.

The plan calls for secured creditors and unsecured creditors of
the operating companies to be paid in full.  Unsecured creditors
of Santa Ana, California-based EME will split what remains of the
purchase price and the NRG stock.

The explanatory disclosure statement as yet doesn't list the total
amount of claims, nor does it show the percentage recoveries by
each creditor class. The hearing to approve the disclosure
statement will take place Dec. 18.

EME's subordinated creditors receive nothing under the plan.

The plan is supported by "all of the debtor's major stakeholders,"
including the official creditors' committee and holders of 45
percent of the senior unsecured notes, EME previously said.

EME's $1.196 billion in 7 percent senior unsecured notes maturing
in 2017 traded at 12:35 p.m. on Nov. 18 for 75 cents on the
dollar, up 43 percent from immediately before bankruptcy,

ELEPHANT TALK: Incurs $3.2 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------

and Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
disclosing a net loss of $3.22 million on $5.20 million of
revenues for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as compared
with a net loss of $5.47 million on $6.69 million of revenues for

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company reported a
net loss of $16.05 million on $16.79 million of revenues as
compared with a net loss of $16.47 million on $22.36 million of
revenues for the same period last year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $46.45
million in total assets, $22.53 million in total liabilities and
$23.91 million in total stockholders' equity.

                        http://is.gd/GbaRUz

                      To Restate Q2 Form 10-Q

Elephant Talk concluded, in consultation with the Audit Committee
of the Company's Board of Directors and the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, that the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013,
should no longer be relied upon as a result of an error in the
presentation of the dollar value of Warrant liabilities, Common
stock and Accumulated deficit and Changes in fair value of warrant
liabilities included in the Company's unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet ended June 30, 2013, and the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss and Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six months periods
ended June 30, 2013.  Accordingly, the Company will restate the
Balance Sheet, Statement of Comprehensive Loss and Statements of
Cash Flows.  In addition, any previously issued press release or
other publicly issued statement by the Company containing
financial information for such period should not be relied on.

As previously disclosed by the Company, during the second quarter
ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 8,024,821 warrants in
connection with the Company's registered direct offering of Common
Stock in which it raised $13,525,000 gross of fees, commissions
and discounts.  In the Original 10-Q, the Company utilized a
Black-Scholes valuation model for its quantitative valuation of
the Warrants.  Subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-Q, the
Company concluded that it should obtain an independent valuation
of the Warrants based on a Monte Carlo Simulation model prior to
the release of the Company's third quarter results.  After review
of the results of the valuation report, in consultation with BDO
and the Audit Committee, the Company has determined that it is
more appropriate to use a Monte-Carlo Simulation model in its
quantitative evaluation of the Warrants rather than a Black-
Scholes valuation model that was used in the valuation included on
the Balance Sheet, Statement of Comprehensive Loss and Statements
on Cash Flows regarding the Company's operating activities since
it accommodates variable data inputs for complex instruments.

The restatement has no impact on the Company's previously reported
cash and cash equivalents and revenue, and the net cash used in,
or provided from, investing and financing activities reported in
the Statements of Cash Flows.  The restatement also has no impact
on any periods reported prior to the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2013.

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

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

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Our senior secured credit facility contains financial covenants
requiring us to maintain specified maximum leverage and minimum
cash interest coverage ratios.  The results of our future
operations may not allow us to meet these covenants, or may
require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a
manner contrary to our business objectives.

"Our failure to comply with obligations under our senior secured
credit facility, including satisfaction of the financial ratios,
would result in an event of default under the facilities.  A
default, if not cured or waived, would prohibit us from obtaining
further loans under our senior secured credit facility and permit
the lenders thereunder to accelerate payment of their loans and
not renew the letters of credit which support our bonding
obligations.  If we are not current in our bonding obligations, we
may be in breach of our contracts with our customers, which
generally require bonding.  In addition, we would be unable to bid
or be awarded new contracts that required bonding.  If our debt is
accelerated, we currently would not have funds available to pay
the accelerated debt and may not have the ability to refinance the
accelerated debt on terms favorable to us or at all particularly
in light of the tightening of lending standards as a result of the
ongoing financial crisis.  If we could not repay or refinance the
accelerated debt, we would be insolvent and could seek to file for
bankruptcy protection.  Any such default, acceleration or
insolvency would likely have a material adverse effect on the
market value of our common stock," the Company said in its annual
report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

As reported in the Jan. 9, 2013 edition of the TCR, Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings, including its 'B'
corporate credit rating, on EnergySolutions on CreditWatch with
developing implications.

"The CreditWatch placement follows EnergySolutions' announcement
that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by
a subsidiary of Energy Capital Partners II," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Jim Siahaan.

EnergySolutions is permitted to engage in discussions with other
suitors, which may include other financial sponsors or strategic

months ended Sept. 28, 2013, as compared with a net loss of
$22.33 million on $57.48 million of operating revenues for the
quarter ended Sept. 29, 2012.

For the nine months ended Sept. 28, 2013, the Company reported net
income of $300,000 on $143.71 million of operating revenues as
compared with a net loss of $32.32 million on $175.80 million of

liabilities and $25.69 million in total stockholders' equity.

"ENGlobal has come a long way in fundamentally reshaping its
Business over a relatively short period of time," said William A.
Coskey, P.E., founder and chief executive officer of ENGlobal.
"ENGlobal's management team has been almost completely
reorganized, a move which has proven to be effective in terms of
improving margins and reducing expenses.  In addition, the Company
has sold or discontinued four non-strategic businesses since my
return as CEO."

"For most of 2012, the Company had operated under difficult
circumstances.  For the year ended Dec. 29, 2012, the Company

its net borrowings under its revolving credit facilities increased
approximately $10.5 million to fund its operations.  Due to
challenging market conditions, its revenues and profitability
declined during 2012.  Although the Company implemented a profit
improvement plan in the fourth quarter of 2012, the results of
that plan are not expected to be fully realized until later this
year.  These circumstances raised substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern," the Company

Torrance, Calif.-based Enova Systems, Inc., engages in the
development, design and production of proprietary, power train

In its report on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012, PMB Helin Donovan, LLP, in San
Francisco, California, expressed substantial doubt about Enova
Systems' ability to continue as a going concern, citing the
Company's significant recurring losses and accumulated deficit.

The Company reported a net loss of $8.2 million on $1.1 million of
revenues in 2012, compared with a net loss of $7.0 million on
$6.6 million of revenues in 2011.  The Company's balance sheet at

                         Bankruptcy warning

On Dec. 12, 2012, a judgment was entered by the United States
District Court Northern District of Illinois in favor of Arens
Controls Company, L.L.C., in the amount of $2,014,169 regarding
claims for two counts.  In 2008, Arens Controls Company, L.L.C.
filed claims against Enova with the United States District Court
Northern District of Illinois.  A Partial Settlement Agreement, as
amended on Jan. 14, 2011, resolved certain claims made by Arens.
However, the claims were preserved under two remaining counts
concerning (i) anticipatory breach of contract by Enova for
certain purchase orders that resulted in lost profit  to Arens and
(ii) reimbursement for engineering and capital equipment costs
incurred by Arens exclusively for the fulfillment of certain
purchase orders received from Enova.

The Company filed a notice of appeal on Jan. 15, 2013.  The
Company believes the court committed errors leading to the verdict
and judgment, and the Company is evaluating its options on appeal.

"However, there can be no assurance that the appeal will be
successful or a negotiated settlement can be attained or that
Arens will assert its claim in the state of California, and
thereby cause the Company to go into bankruptcy," the Company said
in its quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2013.

EXECUTIVE BENEFITS: High Court Ruling Could Double Del. Workload
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Delaware federal district judges could see their
workload double if parties aren't permitted to consent to having
some state-law disputes decided on a final basis by bankruptcy
judges, the American Bar Association told the U.S. Supreme Court.

According to the report, the burden on district judges in New York
would rise almost 18 percent, the ABA said in a friend-of-the-
court brief on Nov. 15 in a follow-on case to 2011's Stern v.
Marshall decision.

In Stern, the high court decided 5-4 that bankruptcy judges, who
aren't life-tenured, can't make final rulings when a defendant who
didn't file a claim in bankruptcy is being sued by a bankruptcy
trustee on a state-law claim.

The new case, to be argued in the Supreme Court on Jan. 14,
involves whether the right to a final ruling by a district judge,
who does has life tenure, is a constitutional right that can be
waived.

In Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison, the U.S. Court
of Appeals in San Francisco said the right can be waived.  The
Supreme Court decided to hear the case because other federal
appeals courts have concluded the opposite.

The outcome may turn on the Supreme Court's interpretation of its
own 1986 decision in Commodity Futures Trading Commission v.
Schor, in which a litigant consented to a ruling by the CFTC and
thus waived the right to sue in federal district court.

The Supreme Court's ruling, expected next year, will address
whether rights under Stern implicate "structural" concerns, where
waiver isn't possible, or personal constitutional rights, where
waiver is permitted.

The bankruptcy trustee in the Executive Benefits case, like the
ABA in its brief, told the Supreme Court that precluding waivers
in bankruptcy cases will require a finding that the federal system
of magistrate judges is likewise unconstitutional, increasing the
workload of district judges even more.

The trustee in Executive Benefits said the Supreme Court has found
a court structure unconstitutional only when the parties didn't
consent.

"A few lower courts have now over-read Stern as an unraveling of
the entire magistrate and bankruptcy judge systems," the trustee
said.

The trustee pointed to the Supreme Court's own words in Stern to
the effect that the ruling was "narrow" and would require no major
changes in the bankruptcy court system.

When the Supreme Court hears the case on Jan. 14, one of the
lawyers for the trustee will be G. Eric Brunstad Jr. of Dechert
LLP in Hartford, Connecticut, who argued on the winning side in
Stern.

Although Brunstad helped establish the constitutional principle,
he said it's a right that can be waived.

The Supreme Court case is Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v.
Arkison, 12-01200, U.S. Supreme Court (Washington).

Crowe Horwath LLP, in Louisville, Kentucky, said in its report on
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31,

largely as a result of elevated provisions for loan losses and
other credit related costs.  In addition, both the Company and its
bank subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank, are under regulatory
enforcement orders issued by their primary regulators.  First
Federal Savings Bank is not in compliance with its regulatory
enforcement order which requires, among other things, increased
minimum regulatory capital ratios.  First Federal Savings Bank's
continued non-compliance with its regulatory enforcement order may
result in additional adverse regulatory action."

FRESH & EASY: Has Busy Hearing Calendar Nov. 22
-----------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that supermarket chain Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market
Inc. received no competing bids and canceled the auction that
would have been held on Nov. 19.

According to the report, at a hearing Nov. 22, Fresh & Easy will
ask the bankruptcy judge in Delaware to approve a sale to Ron
Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. LLC for 150 markets plus a production
facility in Riverside, California. There were no competing bids.

The calendar on Nov. 22 is chock full. In addition to sale
approval, the judge will decide whether the supermarket chain can
sell the right to transfer leases at the locations Yucaipa isn't
buying. If the judge goes along, that auction will occur Dec. 12.

Finally, the judge is convening a third hearing on Nov. 22 to
decide about holding another auction on Dec. 12 to sell 53 parcels
of real property in California, Arizona and Nevada that aren't
being purchased by Yucaipa and aren't covered by the lease sale.

The hearing won't be without controversy. Landlords are objecting
to Fresh & Easy's desire that leases be sold without restrictions
on how the properties may be used.

FTS INT'L: Moody's Raises Term Loan Facility Rating to 'B2'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed FTS International Inc.'s (FTSI)
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) at B2 and raised the FTSI term loan
facility rating to B2 from B3. Moody's also affirmed FTSI's B2-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR) and assigned a Speculative
Grade Liquidity (SGL) rating of SGL-3. The outlook was changed to
stable from negative. Moody's also withdrew the Ba3 rating and
negative outlook on FTS International Services, LLC's (FTSI
Services) senior unsecured notes that were scheduled to mature on
November 15, 2018.

"The outlook at FTSI was changed to stable from negative
reflective of realized debt reduction from asset sales resulting
in lower leverage and enhanced financial flexibility," stated
Michael Somogyi, Moody's Vice President -- Senior Analyst. "We are
withdrawing the rating on FTSI Services outstanding 7.125% senior
unsecured notes due 2018 given the close of the cash tender offer
and redemption of effectively all of the notes."

Rating Actions:

Issuer: FTS International Inc. (FTSI)

  Corporate Family Rating (CFR), affirmed B2
  Probability of Default Rating (PD), affirmed B2-PD
  Senior Term Loan Facility, upgraded to B2 (LGD4 -- 50%) from B3
   (LGD5 -- 70%)
  Speculative Grade Liquidity (SGL) rating, assigned SGL-3
  Outlook changed to stable from negative

Issuer: FTS International Services, LLC (FTSI Services)

  Senior Notes, Ba3 (LGD2 -- 23%) rating withdrawn
  Outlook, negative outlook withdrawn

Ratings Rationale:

FTSI's B2 CFR is reflective of its high quality fleet of
fracturing equipment, substantial market position and realized
debt reduction resulting in lower leverage. The rating is
restrained by the company's high concentration in one service line
(domestic pressure pumping) and its exposure to the extremely
competitive and highly cyclical industry landscape dominated by
much larger and financially stronger players. The rating
incorporates the expectation of improving demand for FTSI's
services driven by the increase in horizontal drilling activity
across unconventional shale plays and the associated higher number
of fracturing stages per well.

FTSI completed the sale of substantially all of its sand and
related logistics assets to Fairmount Minerals (B1 stable) in
September. FTSI applied proceeds from the asset sale to tender for
effectively 99% of the outstanding 7.125% senior notes at FTSI
Services. In addition, substantially all of the restrictive
covenants and certain default provisions contained in the senior
notes were eliminated in an associated consent solicitation. FTSI
also repaid $42 million of its senior secured term loan, reducing
the balance to $1.122 billion. This compares favorably to a peak
consolidated debt level of over $1.9 billion in 2011 and supports
deleveraging efforts with adjusted debt/EBITDA trending below
5.0x.

The SGL-3 rating is based on Moody's expectation that FTSI will
have adequate liquidity through 2014. Moody's expects cash flow to
gradually improve as horizontal drilling activity and fracturing
stages continue to increase. Any negative free cash flow due to
capital expenditures or working capital changes is expected to be
funded out of cash on the balance sheet. The term loan contains
financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio and
leverage ratio, with which FTSI should maintain good coverage
through 2014.

The rating on FTSI's senior secured term loan was upgraded to B2,
equal to its CFR, following the company's successful redemption of
effectively all of the senior notes at FTSI Services. The
elimination of the structural subordination of FTSI's senior
secured term loan to the superior claim of FTSI Services senior
notes in the term loan being rated in line with the CFR under
Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.

The rating outlook is stable reflective of realized debt reduction
and enhanced financial flexibility. An upgrade is unlikely absent
improved pricing, higher operating margins and leverage
approaching 3.5x. The ratings could be considered for downgrade if
earnings were to decline to levels that resulted in leverage to be
sustained above 5.0x

FTS International Inc. is a privately held oilfield services

currently owned by Temasek (40%), Senja (11%), Other Investors
(18%), Chesapeake (30%) with Management retaining 1% ownership.

FURNITURE BRANDS: Objections to Bidding Procedures Filed
--------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that multiple parties -- including
Broadbill Investment Partners, Brixmor Property Group, Federal
Realty Investment Trust, Horizon Retail Construction, NEC
Financial Services, Oracle America, GE Commercial Distribution
Finance, GE TF Trust, General Electric Capital, ACE America
Insurance and Simon Property Group -- filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court separate objections to Furniture Brands
International's motion for an order (i) approving (a) bidding
procedures, (b) form and manner of notices, (c) form of asset
purchase agreement (including bid protections); (ii) scheduling
dates to conduct auction and hearing to consider final approval of
sale (including treatment of executory contracts and unexpired
leases); (iii) granting related relief and (iv)(a) approving sale
of substantially all of acquired assets, (b) authorizing the
assumption and assignment of executory contracts and unexpired
leases and (c) granting related relief.

Broadbill Investment Partners explains, "The Debtors have
articulated no reason, other than a non-specific and unsupported
'best interests' assertion, why they have so substantially cut
short the auction process. In doing so, the Debtors moved the bid
deadline up by 15 days and cut in half the remaining pre-auction
diligence period. This new schedule will force competing bidders
to close in just a few weeks from the time they would have first
gotten notice that the sale process was being radically shortened
(as opposed to 47 days later under the court-approved schedule
that was itself shorter than what the Debtors originally
proposed). It is not clear why the Debtors did this....The desire
to sell all assets at once may be quick and convenient for those
entities that have already realized substantial value, but it may
be a terrible strategy given the NOL (Debtors' $235 million net
operating loss (the 'NOL'), which the Debtors claim has an $82
million cash value) value in this case. A sale of substantially
all of the Debtors' assets may not be the best value-maximizing
approach because it would not preserve the full value of the
Debtor's significant NOLs. A modified reorganization plan could be
constructed which would preserve the entire $235 million of NOLs
useable without limitation. Rather than selling all of the
Debtors' cash flow generating assets, the Debtors could retain one
or more businesses. Other assets sold could be used to repay the
DIP loan (and repay some or all of the unsecured debt in cash),
and retained assets would form the basis of remaining recoveries
to unsecured creditors and equity holders. The NOLs could be
applied without limitation to earnings from the retained
operations."

GENERAC POWER: S&P Raises Corp. Credit Rating to 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its corporate
credit rating on Generac Power Systems Inc. to 'BB-' from 'B+'
The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on Generac
Power's $1.2 billion senior secured term loan B due 2020 to 'BB-'
from 'B+'.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectations
for meaningful recovery (50% to 70%) in the event of payment
default.

S&P raised its rating on Waukesha, Wis.-based Generac after
affiliates of private equity firm CCMP Capital Advisors LLC sold
their controlling interest in the generator manufacturer.  As a
consequence of CCMP's secondary public offering of all of its
shares, more than five underwritten block trades in which Generac
received no proceeds, our assessment of financial risk is no
longer constrained by uncertainties with regards to the financial
policies of companies owned by financial sponsors.

"The stable outlook reflects our opinion that demand for Generac's
products will be good over the next 12 months, following damaging
storms in late 2012 that we believe raised consumer interest in
portable and standby generators," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Maurice Austin.  "We expect EBITDA to climb to
$380 million this year with leverage below 3.5x and FFO to debt of
about 25%, commensurate with a "significant" financial risk
assessment."

S&P could lower the rating if credit measures weakened from
current levels such that leverage was likely to be maintained
between 4x and 5x.  This could occur if Generac pursues additional
debt-financed acquisitions or other debt-financed share holder
friendly initiatives.

Based on S&P's view of the company's weak business risk profile
and acquisition-driven growth strategy, we believe an upgrade is
unlikely in the next year.


GENERAL NUTRITION: S&P Rates $1.48BB Senior Sec. Facility 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' rating on
General Nutrition Centers Inc.'s $1.35 billion term loan B
facility due March 4, 2019, and $130 million revolving credit
facility due March 3, 2017.  The '2' recovery rating on the
combined senior secured credit facility, indicates S&P's
expectation of substantial (70% to 90%) recovery for holders in
the event of a payment default.  According to the company, it
plans to use the net proceeds from this debt to refinance its
existing term loan and for general corporate purposes, including
share repurchases.  Following the completion of this transaction,
our forecast for leverage for fiscal year-end 2013 increases
modestly to 3.3x.

GNC's "fair" business risk profile reflects the company's position
as the largest player in the nutritional supplement industry, good
profitability measures, and S&P's expectation for sales growth to
remain above the industry average over the next 12 months.  S&P
assess the company's financial risk profile as "significant"
because of its moderate financial policies, good cash flow
generation, and stable credit protection measures.

"I'm very pleased with our execution this third quarter.  We

flexibility, through better planning, budgeting and securing
additional working capital support through favorable payment terms

neither the company nor its creditors.

According to the report, former CEO Leonard C. Tallerine Jr. --
who owns a nearly 6 percent stake in the company through an entity

                           *     *     *

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

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

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

GREENSHIFT CORP: Amends Code of Ethics
--------------------------------------
Greenshift Corporation's Board of Directors adopted a revised Code
of Ethics.  The revised Code of Ethics was adopted to replace the
code of ethics that had been adopted in May 2013.  The Board
determined that the significant changes in the business and
management of the Company since 2004 warranted a complete
reconsideration of the standards of conduct by which the Comany's
management and employees will be governed.  A copy of the
Company's Code of Ethics is available at http://is.gd/hNUp95

                   About Greenshift Corporation

Headquartered in New York, GreenShift Corporation develops and
commercializes clean technologies designed to integrate into and
leverage established production and distribution infrastructure to
address the financial and environmental needs of its clients by
decreasing raw material needs, facilitating co-product reuse, and
reducing waste and emissions.

Greenshift Corporation disclosed net income of $2.46 million in
2012, as compared with net income of $7.90 million in 2011.
The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $8.68 million
in total assets, $47.98 million in total liabilities and a $39.29
million total stockholders' deficit.

Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company, in Somerset, NJ, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company had $2,030,577 in cash, and
current liabilities exceeded current assets by $41,087,222 as of
Dec. 31, 2012.  In addition, the Company could be subject to
default of its senior debt obligation in 2013 if a condition to a
forbearance agreement that is not within the Company's control is
not satisfied.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

HARRISBURG, PA: Receiver Can Sign Recovery Plan Docs
----------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Pennsylvania judge authorized the
Harrisburg city receiver to implement the city?s financial
recovery plan to settle more than $350 million in debt, saying on
Nov. 18 that if the controller continued to delay the plan, then
the receiver could sign the contracts instead.

According to the report, Commonwealth Court Judge Bonnie Brigance
Leadbetter approved the plan in September, which aims to settle
the capital city?s hundreds of millions of dollars of debt that
stems from a bungled trash-to-energy incinerator project.

                 About Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


HEARTLAND DENTAL: Moody's Lowers Corp. Family Rating to 'B3'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Heartland Dental Care, LLC's
Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2, and its Probability of
Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD. At the same time, Moody's
assigned a B1 rating to Heartland's $160 million incremental first
lien term loan and downgraded Heartland's existing senior secured
first lien credit facilities, including its $400 million first
lien senior secured term loan and its $100 million revolving
credit facility, to B1 from Ba3. Moody's also downgraded the
company's $250 million second lien senior secured term loan to
Caa2 from Caa1. The rating outlook is stable.

On October 23, 2013, Heartland announced that it had signed a
definitive agreement to acquire My Dentist Holdings, LLC ("My
Dentist"), an Oklahoma City-based dental support organization,
which is affiliated with 52 My Dentist Complete Care Dentistry
offices in Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas. The
proceeds from the incremental first lien term loan will be used to
acquire My Dentist, repay outstanding revolver borrowings, pay
transaction fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.

The downgrade of the Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings reflects the company's aggressive pace of debt-financed
dental practice affiliations and de novo office openings beyond
Moody's previous expectations. As a result, the company's credit
metrics will not improve to levels that Moody's had previously
expected over the next 12 to 18 months, and which would have
supported the prior rating. On a pro forma basis for the My
Dentist acquisition and related financing, Moody's anticipates
Heartland's adjusted debt to EBITDA to be approximately 7.0 times
on a Moody's adjusted basis.

Following is a summary of Moody's rating actions.

Heartland Dental Care, LLC:

Ratings assigned:

  $160 million senior secured 1st lien term loan, B1 (LGD3, 33%)

Ratings downgraded:

  Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2

  Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD

  $100 million senior secured first lien revolving credit
  facility, to B1 (LGD3, 33%) from Ba3 (LGD3, 30%)

  $400 million senior secured 1st lien term loan, to B1 (LGD3,
  33%) from Ba3 (LGD3, 30%)

  $250 million second lien senior secured term loan, to Caa2
  (LGD5, 85%) from Caa1 (LGD5, 83%)

The rating outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale:

Heartland's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
small absolute size based on revenue and earnings, high financial
leverage, and modest interest coverage relative to other single-B
rated companies. Heartland's credit profile benefits from its
market position as the largest dental support services business in
the U.S., based on both revenue and number of affiliated offices.
The ratings are also supported by the company's good diversity
across services and geographies, positive same-store sales growth,
and favorable long-term trends within the support services
industry. Although Heartland's base business is stable, the
ratings are constrained by the company's aggressive pace of
starting de novo practices as well as affiliating with existing
practices. In addition, Heartland operates in an industry with a
high degree of federal and state regulatory oversight.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that while near-
term credit metrics will remain weak as a result of the company's
high financial leverage resulting from its aggressive pace of
dental practice affiliations and de novo office openings, revenue
and EBITDA growth will show steady improvement over the next
twelve to eighteen months. The outlook also incorporates Moody's
expectation that the company will maintain an adequate liquidity
profile.

The ratings could be upgraded if top-line and EBITDA growth
improves credit metrics and if adjusted debt to EBITDA and free
cash flow to debt are sustained below 6.0 times and above 4%,
respectively.

The ratings could be downgraded if financial leverage increases,
or if operating margins, cash flow, or liquidity deteriorate. In
addition, the ratings could be lowered if the company engages in
material debt-financed acquisitions.

Headquartered in Effingham, Illinois, Heartland Dental Care
("Heartland") is the largest dental support services business in
the United States, both by revenue and number of offices. The
company provides support staff and comprehensive business support
functions under management service agreements (MSA) to its
affiliated dental practices, organized as professional
corporations ("PCs"). Heartland is privately owned by Ontario
Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("OTPP"), and generated net revenue
of approximately $633 million for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2013.

On June 17, 2013, an involuntary petition for relief (Bankr.
S.D. Tex. Case No. 13-20270) was filed against High Maintenance by
Robert Behar, Estrella Behar, Leibowitz Family, Pedro Dupouy,
Latin Capital, Pan Atlantic Bank & Trust, Ltd., Sumit Enterprises,

HIGHWAY TECHNOLOGIES: UST Wants Ch. 7 Trustee to Decide on Funds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta DeAngelis, the United States Trustee for Region 3, wants
language remove in Highway Technologies Inc.'s proposed order
converting their Chapter 11 cases to cases under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The U.S. Trustee says the proposed language regarding the payment
of trustee commissions and the use of the carve-out funds and the
unencumbered funds is not necessary in a conversion order.  "These
issues do not need to be addressed at this juncture of the case
but should instead wait until a chapter 7 trustee is appointed so
that the matters can be considered by the chapter 7 trustee," the
U.S. Trustee avers.

As reported in the Sept. 26, 2013 edition of the TCR, Highway
Technologies sought conversion because enacting a Chapter 11 plan
is no longer feasible.  In the motion, the Debtors said that after
the conversion, the Chapter 7 trustee will have approximately
$480,000 of unencumbered cash.  With those funds, the Chapter 7
trustee will first pay the allowed 11 U.S.C. Sec. 503(b)(9) claims
and employee priority claims.  The Debtors believe that the total
of those claims will likely exceed the amount of the funds to
satisfy those claims, and those funds alone will also be
insufficient to pay valid general unsecured claims.  The Debtors,
however, believe there could be distributions to unsecured
creditors resulting from recoveries by the Chapter 7 trustee from
litigation claims but not in the immediate future.

                   About Highway Technologies

Highway Technologies Inc. and affiliate HTS Acquisition Inc.
sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 13-11325 to
13-11326) on May 22, 2013, to conduct an orderly liquidation.

Grohsgal, Esq., Maria A. Bove, Esq., and John W. Lucas, Esq., at

Debtors.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC is the claims and notice
agent.

The prepetition lenders are represented by David M. Hilllman,
Esq., at Schulte Roth & Zabel, in New York.

The Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, showed
$55 million in total assets and $102 million in liabilities.  In
its amended schedules, Highway Technologies disclosed $41,350,616
in assets and $91,780,181 in liabilities.

Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A.
represents the Official Unsecured Creditors' Committee as counsel.
Gavin/Solmonese LLC serves as its financial advisor.

Chapter 7 proceedings.

2013.

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

court to file an amended disclosure statement and, if necessary,
an amended plan on or before Dec. 16, 2013.  Any objections to the
adequacy of the amended disclosure statement are due Dec. 30,
2013.

Meanwhile, Cynthia R. Susser, president of the Peninsula at Plum
Creek Homeowner's Association, presented letters of objection from
32 homeowners in The Peninsula at Plum Creek neighborhood.  Ms.
Susser avers that the Debtor's plan to replace the golf course
with condos or homes, would significantly and negatively impact
the value of homes in the surrounding area.  Additionally, it
would require a zoning change.  The homeowners request that the
Court deny the Debtor's request to begin that process.

The Debtor's reorganization plan calls for the purchase of
Debtor's golf courses, and the golf course of Eagle Mountain Golf
Course, LLC located in Fort Worth, Texas, which are owned by
Stacey Hart, the Debtor's principal, by Oread Capital &
Development, LLC, for $14 million for the purpose of developing
residential housing and the continued operation of Deer Creek Golf
Course as a nine hole course by the Debtor after confirmation.
The purchase is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval through a
confirmed Plan which must pay all creditors in full.  Stacey A.
Hart will remain president of the Debtor and will retain his sole
ownership interest in the Debtor.  A full-text copy of the Second
Amended Disclosure Statement, dated Sept. 18, 2013, is available

JEFFERSON COUNTY: Fitch to Host Conference on Sewer Bonds Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings will be hosting a conference call to discuss the
expected ratings assigned to Jefferson County, AL sewer bonds
('BB+/BB', Outlook Stable) and GO warrants ('BBB-', Outlook
Stable).

Fitch analysts Doug Scott and Larry Levitz will share their
insights on key rating drivers including:

-- The role of anticipated financing in the county's emergence
    from bankruptcy;

-- New governance structure, revenue constraints and downsized
    government operations;

-- Importance of the approved rate structure and overall rate
    pressures;

-- The very high sewer system debt position.

Dial-in details are:
-- U.S. Participant Dial-In Number: (877) 819-0869
-- Conference and Replay ID: 11639988

Replays for each of the calls will be available for 30 days and
are accessible through the following numbers:

-- Replay Dial-In Number for U.S. participants: (855) 859-2056

Final ratings are contingent upon the receipt by Fitch of executed
documents and legal opinions conforming to information already
received and reviewed; the final pricing of the warrants; and
confirmation of the county's plan of adjustment (the plan) --
including the further amended financing plan and debt structure
from this issuance -- by the bankruptcy court overseeing the case
that would allow the county to emerge from chapter 9 bankruptcy
protection by the end of the year.


JHK INVESTMENTS: Has Access to Cash Collateral Until Nov. 30
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Alan H. W. Shiff signed a stipulation and order authorizing
JHK Investments LLC's preliminary use of cash collateral of
subject to the liens of Bay City Capital Fund V, L.P., and Bay
City Capital Fund V Co. Investment Fund L.P., through Nov. 30,
2013.

In exchange for the preliminary use of cash collateral by JHK, and
as adequate protection for Bay City's interests in the cash
collateral, Bay City is granted replacement and/or substitute
liens (subject only to the carve-out) in all postpetition assets
of JHK and proceeds of the same, excluding any bankruptcy
avoidance causes of action, and such replacement liens will have
the same validity, extend, priority that Bay City possessed as to
said liens on the Petition Date.

A further hearing on the Debtor's request to use cash collateral
is slated for Dec. 3, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.

                       About JHK Investments

JHK Investments, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Conn.
Case No. 12-51608) in Bridgeport, Conn., on Aug. 29, 2012,
estimating under $100 million in assets and more than $10 million
in liabilities.  James Berman, Esq., Lawrence S. Grossman, Esq.,
Craig I. Lifland, Esq., and Aaron Romney, Esq., at Zeisler &
Zeisler, P.C., represent the Debtor.

Westport, Connecticut-based JHK is an investment company founded
by the former senior management team of United States Surgical
Corporation.  Founded by Leon C. Hirsch in 1963, USSC became a
global medical device manufacturer with sales exceeding
$1.2 billion and employing $4,000 Connecticut residents.  The
Debtor disclosed $38,690,639 in assets and $32,127,278 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Following the success of USSC, Mr. Hirsch and two other senior
USSC executives created JHK in order to produce and develop new
markets and penetrate established markets throughout the world for
high-tech medical devices.  JHK owns equity in several start-up
medical subsidiaries.  The start-ups include Interventional
Therapies, LLC, Auditory Licensing Company, LLC, Biowave
Corporation, Gorham Enterprises, LLC, and American Bicycle Group,
LLC.

Bay City claims to be owed $31 million for funding provided to the
Debtor since January 2011.  The principals at JHK -- Mr. Hirsch,
Turi Josefsen, and Robert A. Knarr -- guaranteed JHK's
obligations, pledged the property in Wilton, Connecticut to secure
obligations under the guaranty, and pledged all equity interests
of JHK.

In March 2012, Eleuthera, in its capacity as administrative agent
for Bay City, declared an event of default as a result of the
passage of the maturity date and the failure to pay the entire
amount outstanding.  On Aug. 28, 2012, Bay City and Eleuthera
purported to exercise the pledge agreements insofar as they
purported to register the Principals' interest in JHK in the name
of Eleuthera, as nominee for Bay City, and purported to reserve
their right to exercise voting rights in JHK.


KB TOYS: Claim Buyer Can't Escape Section 502(d) Disallowance
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that if the seller of a claim received a preference, the
buyer of the claim isn't entitled to a distribution under Section
502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, according to a Nov. 15 decision
from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in
Philadelphia.

According to the report, the Third Circuit disagreed with a 2007
opinion by U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in New York in the
Chapter 11 case of Enron Corp.

Writing for the Philadelphia appeals court, U.S. Circuit Judge
Patty Shwartz focused on the statutory language "any claim of any
entity" to say that the law focuses on claims, not claimants, in
meaning that Section 502(d) disallows claims "no matter who holds
them."

She said disallowing the claim in the hands of a buyer is
consistent with the legislative history and an appeals court case
from 1902 under Section 57(g) of the former Bankruptcy Act.

Judge Scheindlin had said disallowance is a "personal disability
of particular claimants and not an attribute of a claim."

Judge Shwartz also rejected the claim buyer's reliance on Section
550(b) and the contention that it was a good-faith purchaser.  She
said that section wasn't applicable because the purchaser didn't
buy property of the estate.

The case is In re KB Toys Inc., 13-1197, U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Third Circuit (Philadelphia).

                           About KB Toys

Headquartered in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, KB Toys, Inc. --
http://www.kbtoys.com/-- operated a chain of retail toy stores.

On Jan. 14, 2004, the Debtor and 69 of its affiliates filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, which were
administratively consolidated under Case No. 04-10120.  Two of the
200 bankruptcy cases remain open, KB Toys Inc. and KB Toy of
Massachusetts Inc.  In connection with the emergence of KB Toys
from bankruptcy in August 2005, and the subsequent organizational
restructuring, the assets and operations of many of these prior
debtors were transferred among then existing debtor entities and
consolidated with KB Toys Group.  Furthermore, most of the
entities involved were either dissolved or were merged into
surviving entities, and several of them changed their names.

The company, together with eight of its affiliates, again filed
for Chapter 11 on December 11, 2008 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
08-13269).  Joel A. Waite, Esq., and Matthew Barry Lunn, Esq., at
Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor LLP, represent the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors proposed Wilmer Cutler
Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP as their co-counsel, FTI Consulting
Inc. as financial and restructuring advisor, and Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions LLC as claims and noticing agent.

KB disclosed assets of $241 million against debt totaling $362
million in its Chapter 11 petition filed.  The debts include $143
million in unsecured claims; and $200 million in secured claims,
including $95.1 million owed to first-lien creditors where General
Electric Capital Corp. serves as agent; and $95 million owed to
second-lien creditors.

The Hon. Kevin Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware allowed KB Toys Inc. to start going-out-of-business
sales promptly after the Chapter 11 filing.


KEEN EQUITIES: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for Dec. 20
-----------------------------------------------------------
A meeting of creditors in the bankruptcy case of Keen Equities,
LLC, will be held on Dec. 20, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. at Room 2579,
271-C Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, NY.

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.

Keen Equities, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.Y.
Case No. 13-46782) on Nov. 12, 2013.  The petition was signed by
Y.C. Rubin as manager.  The Debtor disclosed total assets of $15.1
million and total liabilities of $6.84 million.  Judge Nancy
Hershey Lord presides over the case.  GOLDBERG WEPRIN FINKEL
GOLDSTEIN LLP serves as the Debtor's counsel.


LANDAUER HEALTHCARE: Plan Outline Hearing Moved to Dec. 9
---------------------------------------------------------
Landauer Healthcare Holdings, Inc. and its debtor-affiliates will
seek approval of the disclosure statement explaining the terms of
their proposed Joint Plan of Reorganization at a hearing slated
for Dec. 9, 2013, at 1:00 p.m.

The disclosure statement hearing was slated for Nov. 14, 2013,
before it was postponed by the Debtor.

Passaic Healthcare Services, LLC, d/b/a Allcare Medical, filed a
limited objection, saying the Disclosure Statement falsely
represents that Allcare improperly solicited and hired away the
Debtors' senior employees and somehow irreparably harmed the
Debtors' business and was a primary cause of the Debtors' need to
seek bankruptcy protection.  The claims against Allcare allegedly
represent a potential recovery to the estate but Allcare believes
such claims are speculative at best.

         Facsimile: (973) 425-0161

                           The Plan

As reported in the Oct. 22, 2013 edition of the TCR, the Debtors
believe that after extensive, good faith negotiations among the
Debtors, their secured lender, Herbard, Ltd., and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors, they have proposed a plan that
they believe is fair and equitable, maximizes the value of the
debtors' estates and provides the best recovery to holders of
allowed claims.  The Plan is also premised on the terms of the
settlement between the Creditors' Committee, LMI DME Holdings LLC
and Quadrant Management, Inc., affiliates of the secured lender,
which provides for the creation of a trust for the sole benefit of
holders of general unsecured claims and if the plan is confirmed,
holders of allowed convenience class claims and to which the
secured lender carved out from its collateral certain assets to be
contributed thereto.

LAURENTIAN ENERGY: Moody's Affirms 'Ba2' Rating on $44.8MM Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Ba2 rating on
Laurentian Energy Authority I, LLC's (LEA) $44.8 million in
outstanding cogeneration revenue bonds series 2005A and 2005B.
Concurrent with this rating action Moody's has revised the outlook
to stable from negative.

Rating action principally reflects the approval by the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) of a modification to the power
purchase agreement (PPA) between LEA and its utility off taker,
Northern States Power Company (NSP: A3, RUR-Up), which
meaningfully reduces fuel price volatility and stabilizes future
cash flow for LEA.

Summary Rating Rationale:

The Ba2 rating reflects relatively predictable revenue stream
provided under a long-term PPA with NSP that extends for five
years beyond the debt maturity; the existence of take-or-pay Steam
Sales Agreements (SSAs) with two Minnesota public utilities; above
average liquidity for municipal infrastructure financings; and the
relative importance of biomass generation and steam generation for
NSP and the host municipalities, respectively. The rating also
considers the Biomass Mandate which provides legislative support
for the project which was fortified by the project and utility
off-taker being able to amend PPA terms in a manner that seeks to
preserve the project's viability.

The rating is tempered by a substantially above market, energy-
only PPA, the loss of which would result in meaningful cash-flow
reduction; historically weak financial metrics; the lack of rate
covenants; short-term biomass fuel supply contracts with suppliers
of unknown credit quality; and likely use of existing liquidity
during the term of the debt.

Outlook:

The stable outlook reflects MPUC approval of the PPA amendment,
which stabilizes annual cash flow at the project and Moody's
expectation that the project will continue achieving biomass
content thresholds as prescribed under the terms of the PPA.

What Could Make the Rating Go - UP:

The rating could face upward rating momentum should the project's
cash flow improvement materialize resulting in consistent DSCRs
that are above 1.2x.

What Could Maket the Rating Go - DOWN:

The rating could face downward pressure if the project materially
draws on its existing liquidity; or if the project faces penalties
for failing to meet biomass component of at least 75%. Operational
challenges that result in lower than committed energy production
and subsequent revenue reduction received by the authority could
also result in negative rating pressure.

Strengths:

-- Long-term off-take agreement with investment grade off-taker
    extending five years beyond debt maturity

-- Above average liquidity for municipal infrastructure
    financings

-- Willingness of member utilities to absorb certain project
    operating costs

-- Regulatory importance to the off-taker

-- Importance of project to steam off-takers

-- Demonstrated history of meeting biomass content under the PPA

Weaknesses:

-- Weak financial performance with debt service coverage at or
    below 1.0x

-- Substantially above market price for power and energy-only PPA

-- Weak financial position of member-owner utilities

-- Relatively short operating history as biomass generating unit

-- Potential for future environmental challenges

-- Lack of a rate covenant with no distribution test

-- Punitive penalty regime under the PPA

-- Biomass fuel supply risk

LIFE CARE: Patient Seeks Appointment of Ombudsman
-------------------------------------------------
Donna J. Cook, a patient, has filed a motion with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court seeking the appointment of a Patient Care
Ombudsman in the Chapter 11 case of Life Care St. Johns, Inc.

The Bankruptcy Court previously issued an order stating that
appointment of a patient care ombudsman was not necessary.  As a
result, the Debtor has been allowed to self-report by filing
monthly reports which were to include "all complaints, if any,
made by patients, residents, the families of patients or
residents, or referring physicians [. . .] regarding patient care
rendered by the Debtor."

According to Ms. Cook, the Debtor has, to date, failed to report
the numerous complaints made by Patient, her family, and/or her
representatives regarding her involuntary displacement from the
Debtor's facility by the Debtor.  The Patient was forced to move
to a separate facility, two hours away from her husband, due to
the Debtor's actions or lack of action.  Upon information or
belief, none of the Patient's complaints have been reported to
this Court.

Hearing on the request is set for Dec. 4, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. in
300 North Hogan Street, 4th Floor - Courtroom 4D, Jacksonville, FL

LMI AEROSPACE: Moody's Cuts CFR & First Lien Debt Rating to 'B2'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded ratings of LMI Aerospace,
Inc. including the Corporate Family Rating to B2 from B1. Business
integration risks and expectation of weaker credit metrics across
2014 than what was envisioned when the rating was assigned in
January 2013 drove the downgrade.

Ratings Downgraded:

  Corporate Family, to B2 from B1

  $125 million first lien revolver due 2017, to B2, LGD3, 49%,
  from B1, LGD3, 31%

  $225 first lien term loan due 2018, to B2, LGD3, 49%, from B1,
  LGD3, 31%

Ratings Affirmed:

  Speculative Grade Liquidity, SGL-3

  Probability of Default, B2-PD

Rating Outlook:

  Continued at Stable

Ratings Rationale:

The Corporate Family Rating of B2 reflects credit metrics that are
on par with the rating and significant execution challenges from
the pending integration of Valent Aerostructures, LLC., which was
acquired on December 28, 2012. Moody's expects debt to EBITDA of
slightly below 6x in 2013 with potential for gradual improvement
in 2014 as an elevated period of capital spending ends and free
cash flow generation returns. On November 4, LMI announced that
the former managers of Valent stepped down and the company's long-
standing CFO took on the role of President of Valent Operations.
With the acquisition of Valent, LMI's revenue base increased about
44% and the company added 8 locations. The managerial
discontinuity as the integration unfolds raises operational risks,
in part because LMI's legacy business has encountered demand
headwinds of its own. During the first 9 months of 2013, LMI's
legacy Engineering Services segment reported an organic revenue
decline of 30% year over year. Valent's 2013 revenues to date have
been materially below expectation as well. Notwithstanding that
the Aerostructures segment experienced 24% organic revenue growth
year-over-year, the company's total EBITDA margin is meaningfully
below Moody's expectation. Beyond the changed revenue mix which
has affected margin, weaker absorption of overhead costs and some
unexpected impairment charges also contributed. The company's
earnings in 2014 will likely be well below what was initially
expected when the acquisition occurred and book debt rose by 14%.
While LMI's recent announcement to close its Forth Worth, Texas
machining facility should reduce fixed overhead expense, the
Valent integration plan envisioned a fuller extent of facility
consolidation.

The rating outlook is stable as a favorable commercial aircraft
build rate and likelihood of free cash flow generation in 2014
should help LMI to moderate its elevated financial leverage.
Backlog has risen 25% over the first 9 months of 2013. Moody's
anticipates that the company's quarterly capital expenditures will
decline to about $4 million by Q2-2014 from about $7 million in
2013.

The Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-3, denoting an
adequate profile, has been affirmed. Near-term scheduled debt
amortizations are only about $2 million while free cash flow
generation should return in 2014. Although the company's revolving
credit facility is of a good size versus the revenue base, LMI has
come to depend on the revolver in 2013. Financial ratio
maintenance covenants (including maximum debt to EBITDA) could
experience diminishing cushion as test thresholds tighten over the
second half of 2014, a tempering consideration.

With the CFR downgrade the company's Probability of Default rating
was affirmed at B2-PD because the expected family-level recovery
rate, of estimated liability claims in a default scenario, was re-
set to Moody's customarily assumed rate of 50% from 65%. A greater
degree of non bank-debt claims in the company's liabilities drove
this recovery revision, pursuant to Moody's Loss Given Default
Rating Methodology.

Ratings would be downgraded with expectation of debt/EBITDA
maintaining at or above 6x, low or no free cash flow generation
for 2014, or a weakened liquidity profile. Ratings could be
upgraded with expectation of debt/EBITDA closer to 4x, free cash
flow to debt in the double digit percentage range, and a good
liquidity profile. An expectation of continuity and appropriate
breadth within the management team, in light of the company's
enlarged size since the Valent acquisition, would accompany an
upgrade.

LMI Aerospace, Inc., headquartered in St. Charles, Mo., is a
provider of design engineering services and supplier of structural
assemblies, kits, and components to aerospace and defense markets.
On December 28, 2012, LMI completed the acquisition of Valent
Aerostructures, LLC (Valent) for roughly $246 million, including
assumed debt. LMI's revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 2013 were $316 million.


LONGVIEW POWER: Contractors Don't Oppose New Loan
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Longview Power LLC reached a cease-fire with
contractors over a $150 million loan, opening a path toward the
reorganization of the owner of a 700-megawatt coal-fired power
plant in Maidsville, West Virginia.

According to the report, the company resorted to Chapter 11 as the
result of "design, construction and equipment defects" in the
plant, which began operations in December 2011. The company and
the contractors have been pointing the finger of blame at one
another.

The contractors are Kvaerner North America Construction Inc.,
Foster Wheeler North America Corp. and Siemens Energy Inc.

The contractors decided not to oppose approval of the new loan,
although it will have a lien that comes ahead of their mechanics'
liens. The contractors are still demanding they be given other
liens to make up for the debt now ahead of them.

Longview said it would be forced to halt operations by year-end
without the new loan, which comes up for approval at a Nov. 21
hearing.

Longview and the contractors agreed to proceed with an arbitration
that had been automatically halted with the filing of the Chapter
11 petition. The arbitration may determine which of the
contractors have valid claims and which don't.

The arbitration won't address a disputed $59 million letter of
credit originally posted by Foster Wheeler. Longview needed the
new loan because it was stymied in attempts at using the letter of
credit as the basis for financing.

Longview filed a reorganization plan and explanatory disclosure
statement last week that would reduce debt by more than $1 billion
by giving holders of a $1.04 billion credit facility 85 percent to
90 percent of the new stock. The new loan would remain in place
after emergence from Chapter 11.

Holders of 60 percent of the pre-bankruptcy secured credit
facility will provide the loan.

The lenders who make the loan will receive 10 percent of the stock
when Longview emerges from Chapter 11. If the funded portion of
the loan exceeds $100 million, the fee can rise as high as 15
percent.

All existing secured lenders can participate in making the new
loan. In return for agreeing to make any part of the loan not
taken by other lenders, the so-called backstop group will receive
a 3 percent cash fee.

The plan is based on the idea of eliminating $360 million in
mechanics' liens or having the court rule the contractors' debt
comes behind secured claims. The plan calls for paying the claims
if they are valid.

There is about $5 million remaining in unsecured debt owing to
trade suppliers.

There will be a hearing on Dec. 18 for approval of the disclosure
statement explaining the plan. The agreement with the backstop
parties requires emerging from bankruptcy by March 7.  Longview is
planning on a Feb. 10 confirmation hearing for approval of the
plan.

Along with Longview, affiliate Mepco Holdings LLC is in
bankruptcy. Where Longview owns the plant, Mepco owns four coal
mines in West Virginia.

MF GLOBAL: Final Court Approval Given for Consent Judgment
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said
that a federal district judge signed a consent order on Nov. 18
where the trustee liquidating MF Global Inc., the defunct
brokerage, avoided what otherwise would have been regulatory
enforcement action.

According to the report, approved in September by the bankruptcy
judge, the consent order arises from the $1.6 billion shortfall of
property that should have been segregated for MF Global customers.
The shortage precluded a sale and initiated bankruptcies for the
MF Global brokerage and the parent holding company.

The consent judgment in substance is an affirmation that James
Giddens, the MF Global brokerage trustee, will fully pay some $1.2
billion in customer claims. This month the bankruptcy court
authorized Giddens to pay remaining customer claims in full by the
year's end.

In addition, the consent order gives the CFTC a $100 million civil
penalty. The penalty won't harm recoveries by creditors because it
is subordinated and will be paid only if all creditors are paid in
full.

The consent decree might have gone through sooner were it not for
concern that it could prejudice rights of insurance companies. Not
harming insurers was crucial because the recovery by non-customer
creditors depends in part on the outcome of lawsuits where there
may be insurance coverage. Had insurance companies been harmed,
they might have been relieved of liability on the policies.

Hubbard & Reed LLP in New York.

Jon Corzine, the former New Jersey governor and co-CEO of
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., stepped down as chairman and chief
executive officer of MF Global just days after the bankruptcy
filing.

In April 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved MF Global Holdings'
plan to liquidate its assets.  Bloomberg News reported that the
court-approved disclosure statement initially told
creditors with $1.134 billion in unsecured claims against the
parent holding company why they could expect a recovery of 13.4%
to 39.1% from the plan.  As a consequence of a settlement with
JPMorgan, supplemental materials informed unsecured creditors
their recovery was reduced to the range of 11.4% to 34.4%.  Bank
lenders will have the same recovery on their $1.174 billion claim
against the holding company.  As a consequence of the settlement,
the predicted recovery became 18% to 41.5% for holders of $1.19
billion in unsecured claims against the finance subsidiary,
one of the companies under the umbrella of the holding company
trustee.  Previously, the predicted recovery was 14.7% to 34% on
bank lenders' claims against the finance subsidiary.

MITEL NETWORKS: S&P Revises Outlook to Positive & Affirms 'B' CCR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
Ottawa-based premise and cloud-based unified communications
solutions provider Mitel Networks Corp. to positive from stable.
At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'B' long-term
corporate credit rating on Mitel.

"The outlook revision follows Mitel's announcement that it plans
to acquire Aastra Technologies Ltd. in a primarily stock-funded
transaction," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Fisher.
"We believe the acquisition will strengthen Mitel's credit metrics
and significantly improve its scale, geographic reach, and the
breadth of its product offerings; however, the company will remain
much smaller than its larger competitors," Mr. Fisher added.
These competitors include, most notably, Cisco Systems Inc., Avaya
Inc., and increasingly Microsoft Corp.

S&P will assess its issue-level and recovery ratings on Mitel's
debt -- which S&P understands will be refinanced in conjunction
with the acquisition -- once it has additional details on the
proposed financing.

The ratings on Mitel reflect S&P's assessment of the company's
"vulnerable" business risk profile, "aggressive" financial risk
profile, and "adequate" liquidity position (as S&P's criteria
define the terms).

S&P views Mitel's business risk profile as vulnerable based on the
company's history of volatile operating results; still-small scale
relative to its larger competitors; and the inherent riskiness of
the communications products industry in which it operates.  The
industry is characterized by cyclicality and rapid technological
change that is causing heightened competitive intensity.  These
risks are somewhat offset, in S&P's opinion, by a still-healthy
market position in the small and midsize business segments and
medium enterprise Internet protocol telephony market.

The positive outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Mitel's
credit measures and competitive position will improve as a result
of the largely equity-financed acquisition.  S&P could raise the
rating if Mitel maintains adjusted pro forma debt-to-EBITDA below
4x in 2014 and there is evidence that acquisition-related
synergies are likely to drive adjusted debt-to-EBITDA below 3.5x
in 2015 and beyond.

S&P could revise the outlook back to stable if the company fails
to close the acquisition as proposed; experiences greater-than-
expected integration challenges; revenue erosion (on a pro forma
basis) accelerates above historical levels; or the competitive
environment becomes significantly more challenging.  In S&P's
view, these issues would make it difficult for Mitel to sustain
credit measures commensurate with a higher rating.  S&P could also
revise the outlook to stable if management pursues debt-funded
acquisitions that increase leverage.


MMODAL INC: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B-' on Continued Revenue Decline
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Franklin, Tenn.-based MModal Inc. to 'B-' from
'B'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's $520 million senior secured facilities, which consist of
a $75 million revolving credit facility due 2017 and a
$445 million term loan due 2019, to 'B' from 'B+'.  The recovery
rating remains '2', indicating S&P's expectation for substantial
(70% to 90%) recovery in the event of payment default.

S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on the company's
$250 million unsecured notes due 2020 to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'.  The
recovery rating remains '6', indicating S&P's expectation for
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of payment default.

"The downgrade to 'B-' reflects our view that deteriorating
revenue from MModal's base business could lead to further
tightening of its covenant calculation over the next 12 months,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Tsui.

The company amended its existing credit agreement on May 15, 2013,
to reset the net leverage coverage threshold to provide additional
headroom beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  As part
of the amendment, the sponsor provided equity infusion of
$20 million to pay down the revolver and term loan on a pro rata
basis.  The company's credit agreement allows for up to five
equity cures during the life of the senior secured loan, and two
during the four-quarter period.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectations of continued
revenue pressure from customers' adoption of EHR and front-end
speech-to-text products.  S&P could lower the rating if the
revenue decline accelerates, or competitive pressures cause a
substantial deterioration in EBITDA margins, leading to negative
free operating cash flow generation, or if S&P believes the
company may violate its covenant requirement over the next 12
months.

S&P would revise its outlook to stable if revenue headwinds from
its transcription business subside, or if the new product
transition takes hold such that the company could stem its revenue
and profitability decline, leading to debt to EBITDA sustained at
or below the low-7x area and covenant cushions sustained above
10%.

The Franklin, Tennessee-based company was acquired in August 2012
by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in a $1.057 billion transaction, according
to data compiled by Bloomberg.

MOUNTAIN PROVINCE: To Raise C$25MM From Private Placement
---------------------------------------------------------
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. is undertaking a non-brokered
private placement to raise approximately C$25 million through the
placement of common shares at a price of C$5 per share.  The
Company's major shareholder, Bottin (International) Investments
Ltd. (controlled by Dermot Desmond), has advised that they will be
subscribing for common shares under the private placement.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used to support the
Company's share of initial capital expenditures at the Gahcho Kue
project, the 2014 Tuzo Deep drill program and for general
corporate purposes.

The private placement is expected to close on or before Nov. 22,
2013, and is subject to regulatory approval.

Mountain Province Diamonds is a 49% participant with De Beers
Canada in the Gahcho Ku‚ JV located at Kennady Lake in Canada's
Northwest Territories. The Gahcho Ku‚ Project consists of a
cluster of four diamondiferous kimberlites, three of which have a
probable mineral reserve of 31.3 million tonnes grading 1.57
carats per tonne for total diamond content of 49 million carats.

is a Canadian resource company in the process of permitting and
developing a diamond deposit known as the "Gahcho Kue Project"
located in the Northwest Territories of Canada.  The Company's
primary asset is its 49 percent interest in the Gahcho Kue
Project.

Mountain Province disclosed a net loss of C$3.33 million for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012, a net loss of C$11.53 million in 2011,
and a net loss of C$14.53 million in 2010.  The Company's balance
sheet at June 30, 2013, showed C$86.19 million in total assets,
C$9.77 million in total liabilities and C$76.41 million in total
shareholders' equity.

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

                   Going Concern/Bankruptcy Warning

"The presentation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable
period.  However, we have incurred operating losses of $884,879
and $3,740,984 during the three and nine months ended September
30, 2013, and operating losses of $2,041,541 and $12,553,836
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012,
respectively.  The company is also highly leveraged with
$16,068,911 in senior debentures, $1,070,087 in demand notes,
$500,000 in 5% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and $1,400,000
in mortgage debt.  In addition, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, we used cash of $1,634,097 and
$3,741,980, respectively, in support of our operations. As more
fully discussed in Note 5, we have material redemption
requirements associated with our senior debentures and demand
notes, due during the year ended December 31, 2013.  Since our
inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised
through the sale of preferred stock and warrants to sustain our
operating and investing activities.  These are conditions that
raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period."

"We have never sustained profits and our losses could continue.
Without sufficient additional capital to repay our indebtedness,
we may be required to significantly scale back our operations,
significantly reduce our headcount, seek protection under the
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and/or discontinue many of
our activities which could negatively affect our business and
prospects," the Company said in the Quarterly Report.

OCONEE REGIONAL: S&P Lowers Revenue Debt Rating to 'B'
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Baldwin
County Hospital Authority, Ga.'s revenue debt, issued for Oconee
Regional Medical Center, one notch to 'B' from 'B+'.  The outlook
is negative.

The downgrade reflects Standard & Poor's opinion of the hospital's
persistent and increasing operating losses, leading to, what
Standard & Poor's considers, thin maximum annual debt service
coverage.  The rating service believes operating losses will
likely soon begin to erode the hospital's unrestricted reserves,
which, to date, have been stable because of rising investment
markets and limited capital spending.

The negative outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that
operational pressure will likely persist that could impede the
hospital's ability to make timely debt service payments.

"We are concerned operational losses will likely continue; as
such, the hospital's capacity to make debt service payments will
likely become increasingly limited should operational performance
not turn around," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Margaret
McNamara.  "We could lower the rating again if large operating
losses were to continue, if the balance sheet were to deteriorate,
or if the hospital were to fail to obtain a waiver for any
covenant violations.  We, however, could revise the outlook to
stable if the hospital were to generate maximum annual debt
service coverage consistently in excess of 1.2x and if we believe
this were sustainable."

Standard & Poor's understands the hospital expects to violate its
debt service coverage covenant under the master trust indenture
for fiscal 2013.  Coverage was 0.04x compared with a covenant of
1.2x.  The rating service notes the hospital violated the debt
service coverage covenant in fiscal 2011; it understands the
hospital was unable to maintain a waiver from bondholders during
that time.

A gross revenue pledge of the hospital secures the bonds.

OSAGE EXPLORATION: Incurs $199,000 Net Loss in Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc., filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form
10-Q disclosing a net loss of $198,812 on $3.66 million of total
operating revenues for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as
compared with net income of $250,976 on $1.85 million of total
operating revenues for the same period last year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company incurred a
net loss of $241,535 on $8.47 million of total operating revenues
as compared with net income of $93,518 on $4.57 million of total

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"The Company's operating plans require additional funds which may
take the form of debt or equity financings.  The Company's ability
to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is
dependent upon achieving profitable operations and obtaining
additional financing.  There is no assurance additional funds will
be available on acceptable terms or at all.  In the event we are
unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required
to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy.  To date, management has not considered
this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely
occurrence," the Company said in the Report.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: Sues Proskauer for Tax Malpractice
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Overseas Shipholding Group Inc., one of the world's
largest publicly owned transporters of crude oil and petroleum
products, filed a malpractice suit on Nov. 18 against its former
outside law firm, Proskauer Rose LLP.

According to the report, the company contended that faulty tax
advice led to a restatement of earnings and allowed the Internal
Revenue Service to make a claim for $463 million. Proskauer said
the losses were the result of OSG's "own bad business decisions,"
Wendy L. Bernero, a spokeswoman for the firm, said in an e-mailed
statement.

OSG filed for bankruptcy reorganization in November 2012 with the
largest fleet of Jones Act tankers, the only vessels permitted to
operate between U.S. ports. Bankruptcy came soon after the
disclosure of tax problems undercut the accuracy of financial
statements.

According to the complaint, Proskauer's faulty tax advice
unwittingly made OSG "obligated to pay hundreds of millions of
dollars of otherwise completely avoidable U.S. income taxes."  The
suit was filed in bankruptcy court, where OSG is seeking a jury
trial to determine the amount of damages and whether the firm
committed legal malpractice.

OSG said the fault lay in improper wording of a credit agreement
that caused borrowings to become taxable distributions from an
affiliate. On the firm's advice, OSG said, it hadn't disclosed the
tax issues to its board or the public.

The lawsuit "actually stems from transactions in which Proskauer
had no involvement," Bernero said, calling the complaint an
exercise in "revisionist history."

OSG's $300 million in 8.125 percent senior unsecured notes due
2018 last traded on Nov. 15 for 96.5 cents on the dollar,
according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The notes fetched as
little as 18.75 cents on the day of bankruptcy.

OSG's stock has retained value given the market's perception of
the value of the U.S. fleet. Trading at $1.13 on the day of
bankruptcy, OSG's stock fell to about 60 cents, before beginning
to rise in March, reaching a post-bankruptcy peak of $5.03 on Nov.
11. The stock rose a half cent on Nov. 18 to $4.715 in over-the-
counter trading.

PACIFIC RUBIALES: S&P Rates New Unsecured Notes Up to $1.3BB 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' senior
unsecured debt rating to Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp.'s
(BB+/Stable/--) notes for up to $1.3 billion due 2019.  The notes
will benefit from the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee by
the company's main subsidiaries, Pacific Rubiales Holdings, Meta,
Pacific Stratus International Energy Ltd., Pacific Stratus Energy
Colombia Corp., Pacific Stratus Energy S.A., Pacific Guatemala
Energy Corp., Pacific Off Shore Peru S.R.L., Pacific Rubiales
Guatemala S.A., and PRE-PSIE Cooperatief U.A.  The company will
use the proceeds of the notes to partly fund Petrominerales'
acquisition.

On Oct. 1, 2013, S&P affirmed its 'BB+' ratings on Pacific
Rubiales following the announcement of the Petrominerales
acquisition.  The rating on the notes is based on S&P's corporate
credit rating on Pacific Rubiales.  The rating on Pacific Rubiales
reflects is "fair" business risk profile given the company's
smaller scale compared with its investment-grade peers and its
revenue concentration in Rubiales and Piriri blocks, whose
concessions expire in 2016.  However, the company has been
diversifying its current portfolio and increasing its
production and total proved plus probable reserves.  The
Petrominerales' acquisition would help to increase Pacific
Rubiales' current production and proved reserves by 15% and 30%,
respectively.

The rating also reflects Pacific Rubiales' "intermediate"
financial risk profile.  Although its debt will increase, with pro
forma debt to EBITDA expected at about 1.5x at the end of 2013,
S&P expects it to improve to less than 1.2x in 2014 under its base
case, mostly as a result of the increased production and lower
operating costs.  The company's liquidity is currently "adequate."
However, S&P could revise it back to "strong" after the completion
of the issuance.

The rating on the proposed senior unsecured notes is also based on
S&P's expectation that the ratio of priority liabilities to total
assets will remain below 15%, allowing for no structural
subordination
of the notes.

PANACHE BEVERAGE: Amends Loan Agreement with Consilium
------------------------------------------------------
Panache Beverage, Inc., on Sept. 4, 2013, entered into a First
Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with
Consilium Corporate Recovery Master Fund, Ltd.  The Company, its
affiliates and subsidiaries had entered into previous loan
transactions with Consilium, dated Dec. 21, 2012, and May 9, 2013,
respectively, under which the Company and its affiliates borrowed
an aggregate of $7,500,000, secured by certain assets and common
stock.  Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company, its
affiliates and subsidiaries reconfirmed the facts with respect to
the Previous Loans and reconfirmed that the obligations under the
Previous Loans are in full force and effect.

Under the Previous Loans, Panache Distillery, LLC, a subsidiary of
the Company, granted the Lender a security interest in the real
and personal property constituting the distillery recently
purchased by Panache Distillery, LLC.  In order to effectuate the
closing of that transaction, under the First Amendment Lender
agreed not to record its security interest in the Distillery
Property but reserved the right to do so in the event that there
is an uncured default under the Previous Loans or in the event it
deems itself insecure.  In addition, the First Amendment provides
that in the event that the assets encumbered by Lender's security
interest in the Distillery Property are intended to be sold,
Lender must consent to that sale and the net proceeds must be used
to repay the Previous Loans.  The First Amendment also provided
for a cross default provision relating to the first mortgage
encumbering the Distillery Property.

PLANADI BIOTECHNOLOGY: Repays $103,500 of Convertible Debenture
---------------------------------------------------------------
Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., on Nov. 11, 2013, repaid a $103,500
convertible debenture which was originally issued on May 22, 2013,
to Asher Enterprises, Inc.  The note bore interest at the rate of
8 percent per annum and was convertible into common stock at
discount of 42 percent off the current price per share commencing
Nov. 18, 2013.  The convertible debenture was repaid from the
partial proceeds of a new, non-convertible promissory note for
$250,000 which is due Nov. 1, 2014, and which bears interest at
the rate of six percent per annum.

On Sept. 23, 2013, the company issued a total of 33,333 shares of
restricted common stock to an unrelated third party in exchange
for cash totaling $10,000.  The shares were issued under Rule 144
of the Securities Act of 1933, as Amended.

functional foods and botanical extracts for the health and
wellness industry.  Its principle holdings consist of land, farms
and infrastructure in South Africa.

Plandai incurred a net loss of $2.96 million on $359,143 of
revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared with a net
loss of $3.83 million on $74,452 of revenues during the prior
fiscal year.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $8.83 million in total
assets, $12.31 million in total liabilities and a $3.48 million
stockholders' deficit allocated to the Company.

Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred losses since
inception, has a negative working capital balance at June 30,
2013, and has a retained deficit, which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

at Dec. 31, 2012, the Company has a working capital deficiency and
an accumulated deficit.  Additionally, the Company has incurred

about its ability to continue as a going concern.


POWERTEAM SERVICES: S&P Assigns 'B' Corp. Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Raleigh, N.C.-based PowerTeam Services LLC.  The
outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned 'B' issue-level ratings and '3'
recovery ratings to the company's $60 million revolving credit
facility, $400 million first-lien term loan, and $50 million
delayed-draw term loan.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation that lenders would receive meaningful (50%-70%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  S&P also assigned a
'CCC+' issue-level rating and a '6' recovery rating to the
company's $170 million second-lien term loan.  The '6' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation that lenders would receive
negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The ratings on PowerTeam reflect S&P's assessment of the company's
business risk profile as "weak" and financial risk profile as
"highly leveraged."  The business profile is supported by EBITDA
margins in the high-teens percentage area as a regional provider
of maintenance and infrastructure services to electric and gas
utilities.  The highly leveraged financial profile reflects the
company's substantial debt burden and ownership by a financial
sponsor.

S&P expects the company to generate positive free cash flow, with
credit metrics that are consistent with a highly leveraged
financial risk profile, such as debt to EBITDA of more than 6x.
"We expect PowerTeam's credit metrics will remain stable over the
intermediate term, given our assumptions for gradual EBITDA
improvements and our view that management will approach growth
prudently," said credit analyst Robyn Shapiro.

Demand for the company's services is driven by utilities'
regulations to ensure infrastructure safety and reliability.
Overall macroeconomic drivers include market demand, which depends
on public service commission programs that allow for accelerated
cost recovery of main replacement projects for gas utilities.
Demand also depends on the percentage of electrical transmission
mileage and distribution poles that will be replaced over the next
few years in the U.S.  In general, spending required to maintain,
upgrade, or replace aging U.S. infrastructure, as well as
increased work outsourcing by utility customers, should benefit
the company's performance over the long term.  However, S&P views
the utility services industry as highly fragmented and
competitive. Additionally, customer and geographic diversity is
limited relative to some larger industry peers.  S&P also believes
there is some integration risk to the company's strategy, but each
acquired division has the infrastructure to operate on a stand-
alone basis and will continue to do so in the medium term.

The company's cash flows benefit from the recurring maintenance
work under master service agreements (MSAs) or MSA-type contracts,
with a limited number of projects under fixed-price contracts.
S&P views fixed-price contracts as more risky than cost-
reimbursable work because of the possibility of cost overruns,
which can significantly affect the results.  The predecessor
companies executed well on recent work to achieve margins in the
high-teens percentage area, which S&P views favorably compared
with industry peers.

S&P views the company's financial risk profile as highly leveraged
given its financial sponsor ownership.  For the rating, S&P
expects adjusted debt to EBITDA of about 6x or less and free
operating cash flow to total debt in the low-single digits in the
next two years.

S&P's stable rating outlook reflects its belief that PowerTeam
will achieve positive free cash flow in 2013, given the relatively
favorable trends in the electric and gas utility maintenance
outsourcing markets and its track record of EBITDA margins in the
high-teens percentage area.

While unlikely, S&P could lower our rating over the next 12 months
if free operating cash flow generation were to become negative or
if we believed that debt to EBITDA would remain higher than 6x on
a sustained basis.  This could occur from an unexpected decline in
its maintenance business or missteps with any acquisitions.

S&P considers an upgrade unlikely because we believe the company's
financial risk profile will remain highly leveraged under its
financial sponsors.

PT-1 COMMUNICATIONS: Trustee Owes Part of $9M Tax Refund
--------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that the federal government told the Second
Circuit on Nov. 15 that it's entitled to recoup part of an $8.7
million tax refund paid to bankrupt PT-1 Communications Inc.'s
trustee to offset a tax liability related to a settlement over the
2001 sale of PT-1's phone card business to IDT Corp.

According to the report, the government's brief was filed in
response to PT-1's appeal seeking to preserve a court order
awarding the company's trustee the $8.7 million refund. The U.S.
claims that amount should be offset against alleged unpaid taxes
and penalties.

Inc. anti-fraud controls and swindle $16 million from consumers,
it said on Nov. 18.

According to the report, as part of a continuing crackdown on
processors that aid in fraudulent schemes, the FTC said it had

card payment business and secured a promise from the restructuring
company not to serve clients engaged in certain deceptive billing
practices.

Canoga Park, California-based Process America, Inc., sought
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on Nov.
12, 2012, (Case No. 12-19998, Bankr. C.D. Calif.).  The case is
assigned to Judge Maureen Tighe.

RAMS ASSOCIATES: Cunningham Balks at Payment to Professionals
-------------------------------------------------------------
Worthington Capital, LLC and Mr. and Mr. John Cunningham object to
Rams Associates, L.P.'s proposed third interim order authorizing
use of cash collateral.

The Cunningham Parties complain that the Debtor proposes to use
funds from what appears to be an administratively insolvent estate
to make payments to its professionals while the Debtor fails to
pay Athletic Community Team, LLC, on account of its mortgage on
the Debtor's real property, and to reserve sufficient funds to pay
quarterly real estate taxes.

According to the Cunningham Parties, the Debtor's failure to pay
Athletic Community (its primary secured creditor) is prejudicing
the guarantors of the Debtor's debt to Athletic Community,
including but not limited to Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham as, among
other things, default interest continues to accrue on the
outstanding amount of such debt.

The Cunningham Parties object to the entry of the Third Cash
Collateral Order and the approval of the related budget unless and
until the budget is revised to eliminate any proposed payments to
the Debtor's professionals, to provide for periodic debt service
payments to Athletic Community, and to provide for a reserve of
sufficient funds to pay quarterly real estate taxes as they become
due and owing.

                       About Rams Associates

Rams Associates LP was formed in 1990 for the purpose of acquiring
and operating an ice rink then operated under the name American
Hockey & Ice Skating Center located in Farmingdale, New Jersey for
a purchase price of $1,800,000 for the land and building.  Rams
expended another $3,200,000 to build-out the arena and purchase
the necessary equipment to operate the Arena.  Rams continues to
own and operate the ice rink, under the name Jersey Shore Arena.

On June 25, 2013, an involuntary petition under chapter 7 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101, et seq. was
filed against Rams, which proceeding was assigned Case No.
13-23969 (CMG).

On July 16, 2013, Rams Associates filed a superseding Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 13-25541) in Trenton, New Jersey.

On July 30, 2013, a consent order substantively consolidating
cases was entered by the Bankruptcy Court, which allowed for Rams
to proceed with the superseding chapter 11 case.

Judge Christine M. Gravelle presides over the case.  Norris
McLaughlin & Marcus, P.A., serves as the Debtor's counsel.

The Debtor estimated assets and debts of at least $10 million.


RAMS ASSOCIATES: Cunningham Parties Oppose Plan Outline
-------------------------------------------------------
Worthington Capital, LLC and Mr. and Mr. John Cunningham submitted
a preliminary objection to the Disclosure Statement describing the
Plan of Reorganization proposed by Rams Associates, L.P.

The Cunningham Parties believe the proposed plan of reorganization
does not satisfy the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code,
including but not limited to the requirement that there be a
market test to determine the value of the assets of the Debtor
prior to its general partners retaining an interest in the value
of such assets through the purchase of equity in the entity
acquiring title to the Debtor's assets.

The Cunningham Parties also believe that the disclosure statement
fails to provide "adequate information."  Among other things, the
Debtor has failed to disclose (i) efforts undertaken, if any, to
maximum value via a competitive sale process or other strategic
transaction consistent with its fiduciary duties, or (ii) the
basis of the Debtor's apparent decision not to pursue value
maximizing alternatives.

                             The Plan

Pursuant to the Debtor's Plan, Athletic Community Team LLC will
acquire the Debtor's property and substantially all of the
Debtor's other assets and will continue with the operations of
Arena.

ACT, as successor to The Bancorp Bank, is the Debtor's primary
lender having a first priority security interest on all of the
Debtor's assets.  As of the Petition Date, the Debtor owes ACT
about $11.5 million.

Upon consummation of ACT's acquisition, current general partners
John Sabo and Joseph Carballeira may become 35% and 15% members of
ACT, respectively, provided that they post the claims fund, and
waive any entitlement to a distribution from the unsecured claims
fund.  Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Sabo and Fred Bryant will
oversee the operations of Rams and the Arena.

Subsequent to the closing of the sale of substantially all of the
Debtor's assets to ACT pursuant to the Plan, the Debtor will
remain in existence and the equity interest holders will retain
their respective interests therein.  The Debtor and its equity
interest holders continued existence will be governed by the
pre-Petition Date partnership agreement.

The Debtor estimates that the holders of general unsecured claims
will receive a 10% to 15% distribution.

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Settlement Approval Sought
-----------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that Residential Capital filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for entry into a settlement
agreement dated November 18, 2013 among the Debtors, the official
committee of unsecured creditors and Ally Financial.

The motion explains, "The Debtors seek Court approval of the
Debtors' entry into an agreement with Ally and the Committee (the
'Settlement') that is ancillary to a separate settlement (the
'Ally/FHFA Settlement') between Ally and the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (the 'FHFA') resolving billions of dollars of
claims brought by the FHFA as conservator for the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation 'Freddie Mac') related to the Debtors'
residential mortgage backed securities ('RMBS'). After extensive,
arm's-length negotiations, the Parties have reached a
comprehensive settlement that resolves the FHFA's claims in these
Chapter 11 cases. As a result of the Settlement, the Plan
proponents have modified the Plan to provide that (a) the claims
of the FHFA in the Debtors' bankruptcy cases will be allowed in
the amount of $1.2 billion in class RS-11 (Art. III.D.3(k)) (the
'Allowed FHFA Claim') (b) the Allowed FHFA Claim will receive a
cash distribution of $24 million on the effective date of the Plan
and (c) the Third Party Release Carve-Out (Plan Art. IX.E) will be
modified to allow the FHFA to retain certain claims against Ally.
In addition, and as a result of the Ally/FHFA Settlement, Freddie
Mac and the FHFA have withdrawn their respective objections to the
Plan, and with it, the Parties will not litigate at confirmation
the impact of HERA. The Debtors believe that entry into the
Settlement Agreement is reasonable and in the best interests of
the Debtors' estates and their creditors. Absent a settlement,
litigating these claims would have required the Debtors to engage
in costly, burdensome, and uncertain litigation for months or even
years. Additionally, litigation regarding HERA's impact on the
Plan would likely be time consuming and cause the Debtors to incur
significant administrative expense, and could be a substantial
obstacle to the confirmation of the otherwise largely consensual
Plan."

The Court scheduled a Nov. 25, 2013 hearing to consider the
settlement.

RICEBRAN TECHNOLOGIES: To Purchase Membership Units From Nutra
--------------------------------------------------------------
RiceBran Technologies entered into an Amendment of Investment
Agreements effective as of Oct. 31, 2013, by and among the Company
and AF Bran Holdings-NL LLC and AF Bran Holdings LLC and Nutra SA,
LLC, which provides for the waiver of certain terms under the LLC
Agreement and the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as
of Dec. 29, 2010, as amended.

Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to purchase membership
units from Nutra SA at $2.00 per unit in an amount equal to
100,000 units plus an equal number of units purchased by AF
between Sept. 15, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2013.  In addition, the
Company agreed to contribute an additional minimum amount of
$3,000,000 to Nutra SA at $2.00 per unit in the event it raises at
least $7,000,000 in an offering as further described in the
Amendment.  In addition, the Company agreed to distribute to Nutra
SA 90 percent of any funds released to the Company from an escrow
account established in connection with the Company's acquisition
of Irgovel, the wholly owned subsidiary of Nutra SA, in 2008.
Those contributions from funds distributed from the escrow account
will not constitute a capital contribution under the LLC
Agreement.

Provided that the Company purchases at least $3,000,000 of Nutra
SA membership units by Dec. 31, 2013, AF agrees to waive any past
non-compliance with certain milestone conditions and agrees that
the "AF Yield Percentage" will be four percent.  Further, the LLC
Agreement was amended to provide that if the Company failed to
purchase at least $3,000,000 of Nutra SA membership units by
Dec. 31, 2013, an event of default would automatically trigger and
AF would be entitled to receive a preferential return equal to 2.5
times its unreturned capital contributions before the Company is
entitled to receive its unreturned capital contribution.  On the
other hand, if at any time after Nov. 1, 2013, (i) the
contributions made by the Company for additional Nutra SA units
between November 1 and Dec. 31, 2013, plus (ii) the amount
contributed to Nutra SA from the escrow account, exceed the AF 4Q
Contributions amount by more than $4 million, AF's preferred
return will be reduced to 2.0 times its unreturned capital
contributions.

Finally, AF agreed not to exercise its drag along right as set
forth in the LLC Agreement until Jan. 1, 2015, as long as certain
operational conditions are met as specified in the Amendment.

Effective Nov. 7, 2013, Colin Garner resigned from his position as
senior vice president of Sales for the Company.  Dr. Robert Smith
has been appointed senior vice president of Sales & Business
Development expanding from his current duties as senior vice
president of Business Development.

                        About Rite Aid Corp.

Drugstore chain Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) --
http://www.riteaid.com/-- based in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, is
one of the nation's leading drugstore chains with 4,626 stores in
31 states and the District of Columbia.

Rite Aid disclosed net income of $118.10 million on $25.39 billion
of revenue for the year ended March 2, 2013, as compared with a
net loss of $368.57 million on $26.12 billion of revenue for the
year ended March 2, 2012.  The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 31,
2013, showed $7.16 billion in total assets, $9.48 billion in total
liabilities and a $2.31 billion total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 1, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded Rite Aid Corporation's Corporate Family Rating to B3 from
Caa1 and Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from Caa1-PD.  At
the same time, the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating was revised
to SGL-2 from SGL-3.  This rating action concludes the review for
upgrade initiated on Feb. 4, 2013.

Rite Aid carries a 'B-' corporate credit rating from Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services.


SABINE PASS: S&P Rates Proposed $1-Bil. Sr. Secured Notes 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'BB+'
project issue rating and '3' recovery rating to Sabine Pass
Liquefaction LLC's (SPL) proposed $1 billion senior secured notes
due 2020.  S&P also affirmed its 'BB+' debt issue ratings and '3'
recovery ratings on SPL's existing senior secured credit
facilities and notes.  S&P also removed SPL's ratings from Under
Credit Observation where it placed them recently following the
publication of its construction phase risk assessment criteria.
The outlook is stable.

"It is possible that a larger amount could be issued, but we would
expect a similar matching reduction of credit facility capacity
that would leave the overall debt level and financial measures
largely the same," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Terry
Pratt.

SPL notes that construction is on schedule. Bechtel Oil Gas &
Chemicals Inc. is building the trains under engineering,
procurement, and construction contracts.  Train one was nearly
one-half complete as of Sept. 30, 2013 and is currently slated to
begin operations in early 2016. Construction risk is a limiting
factor to the rating presently, due primarily to the need for pre-
completion cash flow to fund a material portion of construction
costs and the lack of a funded debt service reserve.  A shortfall
in revenue during construction for any reason could leave SPL
without sufficient funds to complete construction.  The lack of a
dedicated reserve fund to cover debt service during the transition
to operations increases the risk of missed payments if
construction problems occur that are not covered by contractor
damages payments, if any.

Favorably, all equity commitments have been received and the
increase in funding from the proposed notes proceeds further
reduces any uncertainty of credit facility draw capability if
construction problems occur.  S&P's conclusion on construction
risk takes its recent construction phase risk assessment criteria
into account.

"We base the stable outlook on our assessment of current
construction progress to schedule and budget, transaction
features, and counterparty dependency assessments.  We consider an
upgrade unlikely during construction based on the current
construction, structural, business, and financial risks.  We could
lower the rating if: major construction problems result in
significantly higher costs or a delay in the schedule; key
counterparties' credit quality deteriorates; or, CQP's credit
deteriorates because it currently caps the SPL rating.  We could
also lower the rating if SPL proceeds with developing phase three
of trains five and six and we view it as having lower credit
quality due to unexpected risks, weaker counterparties, or a
structure that leads to lower financial performance.  After
construction or near completion, we could raise the rating if
performance meets or exceeds our current expectations over the
debt's tenor, the reserve account is fully funded, and CQP's
rating improves," S&P said.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"We may raise capital through the issuance of common or preferred
stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or
unsecured debt, an investment by a strategic partner in a specific
clinical indication or market opportunity, or by selling all or a
portion of our assets (or some combination of the foregoing).  If
these efforts are unsuccessful, we may be forced to seek relief
through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  These
possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that
result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders.
Although no assurances can be given, management believes that
potential additional issuances of equity or other potential
financing transactions as discussed above should provide the
necessary funding for us to continue as a going concern."

growth, meaningful debt-financed acquisitions, or significant
shareholder-favoring measures," explained Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Deborah Kinzer.

reflects the company's poor earnings, exposure to weak residential
markets and uncertainty about its ability to refinance debt or
securitize assets over the coming year.  We believe that should
its funding or securitization options become unavailable, the
company will not have enough liquidity to survive 2012, and in
that case a distressed debt exchange would be likely.  The company
has retained financial advisors to assess its options," S&P said.

As reported in the Oct. 17, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's
Investors Service upgraded Springleaf Finance Corporation's
corporate family to B3 from Caa1.  Moody's upgrade of Springleaf's
corporate family reflects the company's progress in
strengthening liquidity, improving operating performance, and
reducing leverage.

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.


STARWOOD PROPERTY: S&P Retains 'BB+' Rating on Loan Upsize
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its 'BB+' issue
rating on Starwood Property Trust Inc.'s senior secured first-lien
term loan due 2020 remains unchanged following the company's
announcement that it plans to upsize the term loan by $300 million
to fund its loan and acquisition origination pipeline and for
general corporate purposes.  In addition to upsizing the amount,
the term loan amendment will also include an expansion of the
Borrowing Base Eligibility Criteria, as well as adjustments to
tangible net worth and leverage ratio incurrence covenants.  The
'BB' issuer credit rating and stable outlook on Starwood also
remain unchanged.

"We think the upsized seven-year first-lien term loan will
continue to have substantial collateral coverage with what we view
as conservative advance rates applied to determine the borrowing
base.  As such, our 'BB+' rating on Starwood's senior secured term
loan -- one notch above the long-term issuer credit rating --
reflects our expectation that creditors would likely receive full
repayment in the event of a payment default by the issuer.  We
estimate that the borrowing base collateral securing the upsized
loan will total just more than $2.2 billion as of Sept. 30, 2013,
or roughly 3.7x the proposed $599 million outstanding loan
balance.  The amended term loan will also allow for the borrowing
base to include euro- and Great British pound-denominated
collateral in Europe given the increasing mix of international
assets in Starwood's investment portfolio," S&P said.

S&P do not expect that the upsized first-lien term loan will
substantially change the company's capital ratios or interest
coverage ratios.  Specifically, the company had a debt to book
equity ratio of roughly 0.6x as of Sept. 30, 2013, by S&P's
calculation, and has maintained an interest coverage ratio of more
than 4.0x in recent quarters--among the lowest leveraged balance
sheets among rated specialty finance companies.  S&P expects that
Starwood will continue to maintain its relatively low leverage as
it grows its investment portfolio as the recent issuances of
approximately $1.15 billion in equity and convertible securities
in the third quarter of 2013 suggest.

STOCKTON, CA: Judge Sets March Hearings on Bankruptcy Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
after more than a year of cost-cutting and debt negotiations,
Stockton, Calif., leaders can now refocus their efforts on a March
courtroom trial that could be the final hurdle to getting the
300,000-resident city out of bankruptcy.

According to the report, at a hearing on Nov. 18 in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Sacramento, Judge Christopher Klein designated
March 5 as the starting date for a trial that will allow the
city's bondholders and other creditors to protest its bankruptcy-
exit plan. Federal bankruptcy rules state that the city's plan
must be "fair and equitable."

The city's bondholders and others haven't raised specific concerns
yet over the 199-page bankruptcy-exit summary, which Judge Klein
said on Nov. 18 can be sent to those creditors for a vote, the
report related.  The city's confirmation hearing could take a
little as a few hours if no objections are raised, but a lawyer
for the city said at the Nov. 18 hearing that they're bracing for
challenges that will require a courtroom battle.

"We're anticipating that there would be a trial," said Stockton
bankruptcy attorney Marc Levinson during the hearing, joking that
he hoped that the trial would finish up before Easter, the report
further related.

Earlier this year, bondholder groups criticized Stockton leaders
for not trying to lower payments to California Public Employees'
Retirement System, which collects millions of dollars' worth of
retirement money each year for city workers, the report recalled.
The fund was expected to collect about $245 million from the city
over the next decade?a large burden that bondholders have argued
shouldn't be shielded as city officials press others for cuts.

                       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.

SUN BANCORP: Files Form 10-Q, Incurs $4.8-Mil. Net Loss in Q3

Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss
available to common shareholders of $4.86 million on $26.78

million of total interest income for the same period a year ago.

T-MOBILE USA: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating to Proposed $2BB Sr. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' issue-level
rating and '3' recovery rating to T-Mobile USA Inc.'s proposed
$2 billion in aggregate senior notes with maturities of 2022 and
2024.  S&P expects the company to use net proceeds for capital
investments and acquisition of additional spectrum.

The 'BB' long-term corporate credit rating on parent wireless
carrier T-Mobile US Inc. remains unchanged, as does the stable
outlook, since S&P believes the company will operate within its
previously expected range for leverage and other key credit
measures.

The ratings on T-Mobile US reflect an overall "fair" business risk
assessment and "aggressive" financial risk assessment.  S&P
expects debt to EBITDA including its adjustments to be around the
mid- to high-4x area over the next few years.  While this
additional debt will likely increase leverage to around 5x as of
the end of 2013, pro forma for the acquisition of MetroPCS, S&P
expects leverage to moderate over the next few years as the
company's EBITDA margins gradually improve.

S&P's assessment of T-Mobile's liquidity remains "adequate" given
its uncertainty as to when the proceeds from both this debt
issuance and the recent $1.8 billion equity issuance will be used
for capital spending or spectrum acquisitions.  Giving effect to
the recent common stock offering and taking into account the
exercise in full of the underwriters' option, Deutsche Telekom AG
(DT) would hold about 67% of T-Mobile's common stock, down from
the previous 74%.  Even at this lower ownership, S&P would still
consider T-Mobile to be moderately strategic to DT, leading to one
notch of support to the current rating from the standalone credit
profile of 'bb-'.

TALON INTERNATIONAL: Posts $700,000 Net Income in Third Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Talon International, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
net income of $700,056 on $13.72 million of net sales for the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as compared with net income of
$186,865 on $11.28 million of net sales for the same period last
year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company reported net
income of $2.24 million on $40.50 million of net sales as compared
with net income of $652,369 on $33.21 million of net sales for the
same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $14.23
million in total assets, $17.22 million in total liabilities and a
$2.98 million total stockholders' deficit.

At Sept. 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4 million,
as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $8.9 million at
Dec. 31, 2012.  The decline in cash was principally due to the
redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, net of the proceeds
from the sale of common stock, and cash provided by operating
activities of $3 million.  In the Series B Preferred redemption
transaction, the Company used $7.5 million of its cash and issued
a $5.8 million short-term, low-interest promissory note in order
to complete the redemption.  The Company is in the process of
pursuing debt financing in order to repay the note on or prior to
its maturity date of Jan. 12, 2014.

"We are pleased to deliver another outstanding quarterly increase
in revenue and a significant increase in net earnings for the
quarter and year to date," said Lonnie Schnell, Talon's CEO.  "The
momentum that we have achieved in the last six consecutive
quarters comes from growing our position with major worldwide
specialty retailers, obtaining new brand nominations, and
extending our reach into new markets."

TERESA GIUDICE: Faces More Fraud Charges
----------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a couple on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of
New Jersey" faced additional indictments on Nov. 18 for bank and
loan application fraud, the New Jersey U.S. attorney's office
said, adding to the couple's previous 39-count bank and bankruptcy
fraud indictment that claims the couple bilked lenders out of
almost $5 million.

According to the report, the two new counts add allegations
surrounding a July 2005 Washington Mutual loan for more than
$361,000, where Teresa and Giuseppe Giudice supposedly falsified
W-2 and tax information to defraud the bank.

                        About the Giudices

In June 2010, Teresa Giudice, who portrays a role in Real
Housewives of New Jersey, and her husband, Joe, filed for
bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New
Jersey.  The Giudices owe creditors $10.85 million.

Chapter 7 trustee John Sywilok sued the Giudices.  The suit
claimed that the Debtors concealed key documents about their
finances and business transactions.  Mr. Sywilok also accused the
couple of making false statements under oath about their assets,
income and expenses.


TERVITA CORP: S&P Rates $325MM Senior Unsecured Notes 'CCC'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'CCC'
issue-level rating to Calgary, Alta.-based Tervita Corp.'s
proposed US$325 million senior unsecured notes due 2018.  The
recovery rating is '6', indicating our expectation of negligible
(0%-10%) recovery in a default scenario.

S&P's existing ratings on Tervita, including the 'B-' long-term
corporate credit rating, are unchanged.

Tervita will use the proceeds from the notes offering to purchase
its US$312 million unsecured notes due 2015.  With the
refinancing, the company will push back any debt maturity into
2018 and beyond.

"The ratings on Tervita reflect Standard & Poor's view of the
company's "fair" business risk profile and "highly leveraged"
financial risk profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Aniki Saha-Yannopoulos.  Liquidity is "less than adequate" due to
the tight cushion under its financial covenants.  S&P's ratings
take into account the company's high debt leverage due to
management's aggressive financial policy, participation in the
competitive and cyclical oilfield services market, and lack of
long-term contracts.  The ratings also incorporate S&P's positive
assessment of Tervita's relatively stable operating margins and
integrated strategy that provides cross-selling opportunities.  In
S&P's opinion, the highly leveraged financial risk profile
constrains the ratings.

million pounds of copper, 1,997 ounces of gold and 7,046 ounces of

of concentrate in the fourth quarter of this year.  Operational
performance has improved at both the Thompson Creek and Endako

continued price fluctuations of the commodities we produce, we
remain focused on reducing costs throughout the Company,
optimizing all of our operations, and strengthening our balance
sheet."

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 14, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on Denver-
based molybdenum miner Thompson Creek Metals Co. to 'CCC+' from
'B-'.  "These rating actions follow Thompson Creek's announcement
of weaker production and higher cost expectations through next
year," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Donald Marleau.

In the May 9, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc.'s Corporate Family
Rating (CFR) and probability of default rating to Caa1 from B3.
Thompson Creek's Caa1 CFR reflects its concentration in
molybdenum, relatively small size, heavy reliance currently on two
mines, and the need for favorable volume and price trends in order
to meet its increasingly aggressive capital expenditure
requirements over the next several years.

TLO LLC: Ex-Lexis CEO, Warburg Plan to Bid on Assets
----------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a former LexisNexis Group CEO, along with
private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC, on Nov. 15 objected to the
upcoming asset sale of bankrupt Florida-based data solutions
provider TLO LLC, saying that as a competing bidder they need more
information about a $105 million stalking horse bid.

According to the report, in a filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court

TMT GROUP: Demands Release Of Ships From Secured Creditors
----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that TMT Group asked a Texas bankruptcy judge on
Nov. 18 to order the release of three of its ships seized around
the globe by creditors, saying the company is incurring millions
in port charges and a foreign government is threatening to auction
two of the boats.

According to the report, the shipping company argued in separate
motions that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur should order
Cathay United Bank Co. Ltd. and Mega International Commercial Bank
Co. Ltd. to release the M.V. Fortune Elephant and the M.V. E
Whale.

                           About TMT Group

its affiliates own 17 vessels.  Vessels range in size from
approximately 27,000 dead weight tons (dwt) to approximately
320,000 dwt.

TMT USA and 22 affiliates, including C. Ladybug Corporation,
sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 13-
33740) in Houston, Texas, on June 20, 2013 after lenders seized
seven vessels.

TROPICANA ENTERTAINMENT: S&P Rates $315MM Secured Debt 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on Las Vegas-based gaming operator Tropicana
Entertainment Inc.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's proposed $315 million
senior secured credit facility (consisting of a $15 million
revolving credit facility due 2018 and a $300 million term loan
due 2020) its 'BB+' issue-level rating (two notches higher than
the corporate credit rating), with a recovery rating of '1',
indicating S&P's expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default.

Tropicana plans to use the proceeds from the proposed transaction,
along with approximately $137 million in cash from the balance
sheet, to:

   -- Repay about $170 million in existing Tropicana debt;

   -- Fund the $260 million purchase price of Lumiere Place in
      St. Louis; and

   -- Pay transaction-related fees and expenses.

S&P expects to withdraw its issue-level ratings on the company's
existing senior secured term loan once the loans are repaid.

S&P's 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Las Vegas-based Tropicana
Entertainment Inc. reflects its view of the company's financial
risk profile as "significant" and its business risk profile as
"weak," according to its criteria.

S&P's rating on the company also incorporates its assumption for
real U.S. GDP growth of 1.6% in 2013 and 2.5% in 2014, and
consumer spending growth of 2% in 2013 and 2.5% in 2014.

S&P also believes the Atlantic City casino market may experience a
low- to mid-single-digit gaming revenue decline in 2014, as it
believes it will continue to face competitive threats from nearby
markets in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York, and from the
addition of online gaming in New Jersey.  S&P expects some
competitors will increase amenities, table games will continue to
ramp up at Maryland gaming facilities next year, and a new casino
will open in Baltimore.


UNITEK GLOBAL: Incurs $11.3 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
UniTek Global Services, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $11.31 million on $130.03 million of revenues for
the three months ended Sept. 28, 2013, as compared with a net loss
of $26.60 million on $130.48 million of revenues for the three
months ended Sept. 29, 2012.

For the nine months ended Sept. 28, 2013, the Company reported a
net loss of $26.68 million on $365.06 million of revenues as
compared with a net loss of $55.08 million on $316.66 million of
revenues for the three quarters ended Sept. 29, 2012.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 28, 2013, showed $325.58
million in total assets, $289.17 million in total liabilities and
$36.41 million in total stockholders' equity.

                            About UniTek

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

Unitek incurred a net loss of $77.73 million in 2012, as compared
with a net loss of $9.13 million in 2011.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

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

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

                           *     *     *

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

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 17, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it raised its corporate credit rating on Blue Bell,
Pa.-based UniTek Global Services Inc. to 'B-' from 'CCC'.  "The
ratings upgrade to 'B-' reflects our belief that the company
is no longer vulnerable and dependent on favorable developments to
meet its financial commitments over the next few years," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Weinstein.

Headquartered in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, in the People's
Republic of China, Universal Solar Technology, Inc., was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 24, 2007.  It operates
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kuong U Science & Technology
(Group) Ltd., a company incorporated in Macau, the People's
Republic of China on May 10, 2007, and its subsidiary, Nanyang

owned enterprises laws of the PRC.

The Company primarily manufactures, markets and sells silicon
wafers to manufacturers of solar cells.  In addition, the Company

loss of $2.70 million on $3.28 million of sales during the prior

Paritz & Company, P.A., in Hackensack, New Jersey, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements

that the Company has not generated cash from its operation, has

a going concern.


VANTAGE SPECIALTY: S&P Keeps 'B' Sr. Debt Rating over $75MM Add-On
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its 'B' senior
secured debt rating on Chicago-based Vantage Specialty Chemicals
Inc.'s first-lien senior secured term loan guaranteed by Vantage
and borrowed by its subsidiaries is unchanged following Vantage's
proposed $75 million add-on to the loan.  At the same time, S&P
revised its recovery rating on the term loan to '4' from '3'.  The
'4' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for average (30%
to 50%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

All ratings, including the 'B' corporate credit rating, are
unchanged.  The outlook is stable.

The company's existing first-lien credit facilities consists of a
$240 million term loan and $60 million revolving credit facility.
S&P assumes in its analysis that the company will use proceeds of
the proposed add-on to pay down a portion of the approximately
$220 million (as of Dec. 31, 2012) pay-in-kind notes, which S&P
consider debt.

"The ratings on Vantage reflect our assessment of the company's
"weak" business risk profile and "highly leveraged" financial risk
profile.  Vantage is a domestic producer of chemicals and
derivatives (mainly tallow based, but some of its products are
vegetable oil based).  Its oleochemical and specialty derivatives
are important inputs in end applications, such as personal care
products and food additives.  The company's location near the
Midwest meat-processing plants, which provides it with a key raw
material, tallow (animal fat), and easy access to rail transport,
is a credit strength.  The concentration of the bulk of
manufacturing capacity in a single location for both the company's
oleochemical and specialty derivatives manufacturing operations
constitutes a key risk.  We view the proposed transaction as
leverage neutral," S&P said.

VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS: Moody's Rates Sr. Unsecured Notes 'B1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a rating of B1 (LGD5, 76%) to
the new senior unsecured note offering of Valeant Pharmaceuticals
International, Inc. ("Valeant"). The notes are guaranteed by
subsidiaries including Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.
There is no change to the existing ratings of Valeant including
the Ba3 Corporate Family Rating, the Ba3-PD Probability of Default
rating, the Ba1 (LGD2, 23%) rating on senior secured credit
facilities, and the B1 (LGD5, 76%) rating on senior unsecured
debt. The rating outlook remains negative.

Stated uses of proceeds of the offering are the redemption of
Valeant's outstanding 6.5% notes due 2016 and related fees and
expenses.

Rating assigned:

  B1 (LGD5, 76%) senior unsecured notes

Ratings Rationale:

Valeant's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its high pro forma
leverage in excess of 4.5 times (using Moody's adjustments), as
well as the risks associated with an aggressive acquisition
strategy including integration risks and rapid capital structure
changes. Pro forma leverage includes estimated acquisition
synergies, but the company's rapid pace of acquisitions makes it
difficult to ascertain a true run-rate of pro forma EBITDA.
Although some acquisitions have been focused in dermatology and
eyecare, other acquisitions have lacked such focus. The recent
Bausch & Lomb acquisition took Valeant into new product areas
including surgical devices where the company did not have
expertise.

The ratings are supported by Valeant's good size and scale, a high
level of product and geographic diversity, a good acquisition
track record, and the lack of any major patent cliffs relative to
other pharmaceutical companies. Good free cash flow will continue,
although acquisitions will remain a use of cash.

The rating outlook is negative, primarily reflecting Valeant's
leverage that is high for the Ba3 rating, its aggressive
acquisition strategy, and the risks associated with integrating
multiple large companies at once.

Valeant's ratings could be downgraded if Moody's believes
debt/EBITDA (with credit for reasonable synergies) will be
sustained materially above 4.0 times or if other risk factors
emerge, such as litigation. Leverage inconsistent with the Ba3
rating could be created if Valeant continues to increase its pro
forma leverage, or if acquisition synergies do not materialize. In
addition, the B1 rating on Valeant's senior unsecured notes could
be downgraded if Valeant adds a significant amount of new secured
debt to its capital structure, even if there is no change to the
Corporate Family Rating. Conversely, Valeant's ratings could be
upgraded if Moody's believes debt/EBITDA will be sustained below
3.5 times while maintaining good organic growth rates.

YRC WORLDWIDE: Incurs $44.4 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
YRC Worldwide Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss
of $44.4 million on $1.25 billion of operating revenue for the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as compared with net income of
$3 million on $1.23 billion of operating revenue for the same
period during the prior year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company reported a
net loss of $84 million on $3.65 billion of operating revenue as
compared with a net loss of $101.2 million on $3.68 billion of
operating revenue for the same period a year ago.

As of Sept. 30, 2013, the Company had $2.13 billion in total
assets, $2.79 billion in total liabilities and a $665.8 million
total shareholders' deficit.

"The decline in year-over-year consolidated operational
performance for the third quarter is primarily attributed to YRC
Freight," said YRC Worldwide CEO and recently-appointed YRC
Freight President James Welch.  "Our third quarter performance was
hindered by declines in service, manpower shortages and declines
in yield.  During the quarter, the YRC Freight network was 'out of
cycle,' which caused our service to decline in certain lanes.
Additionally, due to summer vacations and the movement of drivers
resulting from the network optimization, we were short drivers in
certain terminals which obviously impacted service in those areas.
The shortage also resulted in higher than expected overtime pay,
increased purchased transportation in certain lanes, and lower
productivity.  Finally, yield was negatively impacted by increases
in our weight per shipment, loss of volume from higher yielding
channels and declines in weight and inspection revenue."

to continue as a going concern.  KPMG LLP, in Kansas City,
Missouri, noted that the Company has experienced recurring net
losses from continuing operations and operating cash flow deficits
and forecasts that it will not be able to comply with certain debt
covenants through 2012.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 2, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed the rating of YRC Worldwide, Inc., corporate family
rating at Caa3.  The ratings outlook is has been changed to
positive from stable.

"The positive ratings outlook recognizes the important progress
that YRCW has made in restoring positive operating margins through
implementation of yield management initiatives, during a period of
stabilizing demand in the less than truckload ('LTL') segment,"
the report stated.

In August 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
corporate credit rating on YRC Worldwide Inc. to 'CCC' from 'SD'
(selective default), after YRC completed a financial
restructuring.  Outlook is stable.

"The ratings on Overland Park, Kan.-based YRCW reflect its
participation in the competitive, capital-intensive, and cyclical
trucking industry," said Ms. Ogbara, "as well as its meaningful
off-balance-sheet contingent obligations related to multiemployer
pension plans." "YRCW's substantial market position in the less-
than-truckload (LTL) sector, which has fairly high barriers to
entry, partially offsets these risk factors. We categorize YRCW's
business profile as vulnerable, financial profile as highly
leveraged, and liquidity as less than adequate."


* Income of Non-Bankrupt Spouse Considered in Abuse Case
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the income of a non-bankrupt spouse can be considered
in deciding whether the bankruptcy of the bankrupt spouse should
be dismissed under the "totality of the circumstances" test in
Section 707(b)(3)(B).

According to the report, the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals
in Atlanta involved a non-working wife who ran up mostly credit-
card debt of $136,000 before filing in Chapter 7. The bankruptcy
judge dismissed the wife's case as "abusive" given the $5,500 in
income her non-bankrupt husband took home each month.

U.S. Circuit Judge Adalberto Jordan upheld that dismissal in an
opinion on Nov. 15.

While the wife didn't contest the notion that her husband's income
should be considered, she argued that the court should only have
considered the part of his income that went to her household
expenses.

Judge Jordan concluded that the bankruptcy judge didn't abuse
discretion in dismissing the case. He ended by saying that the
ruling should be confined to the facts of the case, in which the
husband and wife historically pooled their finances in a joint
bank account and filed joint tax returns.

The case is Kulakowski v. Walton (In re Kulakowski), 12-15294,
U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit (Atlanta).


* JPMorgan Said to Agree to Details of $13 Billion Accord
---------------------------------------------------------
Dawn Kopecki and Tom Schoenberg, writing for Bloomberg News,
reported that JPMorgan Chase & Co. has resolved the last obstacles
to a record $13 billion settlement of civil state and U.S. probes
over the sale of mortgage bonds, clearing the way for a deal on
Nov. 18 after months of negotiations, two people briefed on the
matter said.

According to the report, the accord includes a previously
disclosed $4 billion settlement to end a 2011 Federal Housing
Finance Agency lawsuit, said one of the people, who asked not to
be identified because the discussions are private.

While the deal would mark the largest amount paid by a financial
firm in a settlement with the U.S., the Justice Department is
still probing JPMorgan's recruiting practices in Asia, energy
trading and its relationship with Ponzi scheme operator Bernard
Madoff, the report related.  The New York-based bank has tapped $8
billion of $28 billion in reserves set aside since 2010 to cover
legal costs.

"It's good they're getting this done, but it's a fairly narrow
band of cases they are settling," Jacob Frenkel, a former
Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer who's now a partner at
Shulman Rogers Gandal Pordy & Ecker PA in Potomac, Maryland, told
Bloomberg. "There are still other open investigations that this
doesn't address, and those will run their course."

JPMorgan agreed to drop litigation against the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. related to some bonds sold by Washington Mutual
Inc., the people said, the report added.  The bank battled with
the FDIC over who should pay some liabilities from the failed
Seattle thrift that the agency placed into receivership in 2008
while selling assets to JPMorgan. The deal doesn't resolve a
criminal probe led by the U.S. Attorney's office in Sacramento,
California, into the company's mortgage-bond sales.


* Fitch Updates Recovery Analyses for US Hospital Operators

* Second-Lien Debt Sales Nearing Record This Year
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that accepting greater risk for more yield, investors in
junk-bonds are making 2013 the second-most active for issuance of
second-lien debt.

According to the report, through September, $28.8 billion in
second-lien debt was sold, according to a report by Fitch Ratings.
The record was set in 2007 with $40.5 billion in second-lien bond
sales.

Fitch attributed the high level of sales to a "cyclical relaxation
of lending standards."

For taking on the extra risk on second-lien debt, purchasers are
being paid about 4 percentage points more interest, Fitch said.

About 46 percent of this year's second-lien issuances were so-
called covenant-lite loans, Fitch said. In 2011 and 2012,
covenant-lite deals were 18 percent on second-lien debt. In 2007,
covenant-lite was 14 percent.


* ABA Sticks Up for Bankruptcy Judges
-------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that a prominent lawyers group is defending the right of
bankruptcy judges to have the final say in their courtrooms, a
right upon which a 2011 Supreme Court ruling has cast doubt.

According to the report, the American Bar Association, whose
400,000 members include many of the country's lawyers and judges,
has filed a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to
narrowly interpret its prior ruling by confirming bankruptcy
courts' broad ability to enter final orders and judgments.

The high court shook up the bankruptcy world in 2011, when its
ruling (in an inheritance battle involving the late Anna Nicole
Smith) called into question the ability of bankruptcy judges to
hear, let alone rule, on certain bankruptcy matters, including
lawsuits, the report related.  While bankruptcy courts are part of
the federal court system, bankruptcy judges aren't so-called
Article III judges, who are confirmed by Congress and don't face
term limits. Instead, they're appointed by circuit courts and
serve 14-year terms.

The effect of the ruling in Stern v. Marshall has been to prolong
litigation, as plaintiffs and defendants battle over whether a
bankruptcy or district judge should hear their case, the report
said.

As those litigation battles have played out, courts have split as
to whether Stern v. Marshall broadly limited bankruptcy courts'
powers, the report further related.  The extent of those powers is
at issue in a new case before the Supreme Court, prompting the
ABA's brief.


* U.S. Trustees Play Musical Chairs After One Becomes Judge
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the elevation of one of the regional U.S. Trustees to
a bankruptcy judgeship set off a game of musical chairs.

According to the report, August Landis, who had been the U.S.
Trustee in Nevada, was elevated to a seat on the bankruptcy court
in Las Vegas. That appointment was announced this month by the
U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which selects bankruptcy
judges.

To fill Landis's spot, Tracy Hope Davis is to become the U.S.
Trustee for Northern and Eastern California and Nevada.  Since
2010, she has been the U.S. Trustee for New York, Connecticut and
Vermont.

To fill the Davis vacancy, William K. Harrington is expanding his
territory to cover the region previously under her wing.
Harrington will remain U.S. Trustee for Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Maine and Rhode Island, where he has served since 2010.

U.S. Trustees are a branch of the Justice Department and serve as
the government's bankruptcy watchdog.

                            *********

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
