AECOM TECHNOLOGY: S&P Assigns 'BB' Corp. Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'BB'
corporate credit rating to Los Angeles-based engineering and
construction (E&C) company AECOM Technology Corp.  The outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'BB+' issue rating and '2'
recovery rating to the company's senior secured credit facilities.
The '2' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for
substantial recovery (70%-90%) in a payment default scenario.  The
senior secured credit facilities include a $1.050 billion
revolver, a $1.925 billion term loan A, a $500 million performance
letter of credit facility, and a $1.1875 billion term loan B.

S&P also assigned its 'BB-' issue rating and '5' recovery rating
to the company's $800 million senior unsecured notes due 2022 and
$800 million senior unsecured notes due 2024.  The '5' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation for modest recovery (10%-30%)
in a payment default scenario.

The company used the debt proceeds to partly finance its
acquisition of URS.

"Our 'BB' corporate credit rating on AECOM reflects the company's
participation in the volatile and competitive E&C industry," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Robyn Shapiro.  "We expect pro
forma debt leverage of about 4.5x as of the fiscal year ended
Sept. 2014."

The company has good scale and diversity -- pro forma for the
acquisition of URS -- as a provider of engineering, construction,
professional technical, and management support services for public
and private clients globally.  Pro forma for the acquisition, the
company also has good geographic diversification across North
America.  But the pro forma revenues are concentrated (at about
76%) in the U.S. and Canada as of June 30, 2014, while Europe, the
Middle East, and Africa account for 15% and Asia-Pacific the
remaining 9%.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that AECOM will
successfully integrate the URS acquisition along with S&P's
expectations for good near-term operating prospects buoyed by the
combined company's large backlog.  S&P believes that these factors
will keep leverage well below 5x and allow the company free cash
flow to debt of 5% or more.

S&P could raise the rating during the next 12 months if, as a
result of good operating performance and debt reduction from free
cash flow, S&P expects adjusted debt leverage below 4x and free
cash flow to debt above 10% on a sustained basis.

Although unexpected, S&P could lower the rating during the next 12
months if AECOM's operating performance weakens and it appears
that debt to EBITDA would rise above 5x on a sustained basis or
that FOCF to debt will fall to less than 5%.  A downgrade could
also occur if, for example, the integration does not proceed as
planned or if the company experiences large cost overruns in
several of its larger contracts.

ANACOR PHARMACEUTICALS: Sells $82.5 Million Convertible Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., on Oct. 16, 2014, issued and sold
$82.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2021 to Goldman, Sachs & Co., Jefferies LLC,
Cowen and Company, LLC, and Wedbush Securities Inc., as initial
purchasers, for resale to qualified institutional buyers in a
private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
Securities Act.

Included in the 144A Offering were $7.5 million aggregate
principal amount of 144A Notes issued upon the exercise in full of
the over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers in the
144A Offering.  In addition, the Company issued and sold $8
million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2021 in a concurrent private placement under the
Securities Act to certain funds affiliated with Venrock
Associates, an affiliate of the Company.  The Venrock Notes
constitute part of the same series as the 144A Notes.  The Notes
are general unsecured obligations of the Company.  The Notes bear
interest at a fixed rate of 2.00% per year, payable semiannually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on
April 15, 2015.  Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and
during certain periods, the Notes will be convertible at the
option of holders into cash, shares of the Company's common stock
or a combination thereof, at the Company's election.  The Notes
will mature on Oct. 15, 2021, unless earlier purchased, redeemed
or converted.

The Company received net proceeds from (i) the 144A Offering of
approximately $79.6 million, after deducting the initial
purchasers' fees and (ii) the Venrock Sale of approximately $8
million.  The Company used approximately $30.8 million of the net
proceeds from the 144A Offering and Venrock Sale to repay in full
its outstanding indebtedness under, and terminate, its loan and
security agreement, dated as of June 7, 2013, as amended as of
Dec. 4, 2013, with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. and
Hercules Technology III, L.P., and intends to use the remaining
net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Indenture

The Company issued the Notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of
Oct. 16, 2014, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as trustee.

Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain
periods, the Notes will be convertible at the option of holders
into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination
thereof, at the Company's election.  The conversion rate will
initially be 32.2061 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of
approximately $31.05 per share of the Company's common stock).
The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but
will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.  The
initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of
approximately 35% to the $23.00 per share closing price of the
Company's common stock on Oct. 9, 2014.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Venrock Sale, the Company entered into a
registration rights agreement dated as of Oct. 16, 2014, with the
Venrock Funds.  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Company has agreed, upon request from the Venrock Funds on up to
three separate occasions, from and after the one-year anniversary
of the last date of original issuance of the Venrock Notes, to
file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale by the
Venrock Funds of (1) the Venrock Notes, (2) any shares of the
Company's common stock issuable to the Venrock Funds upon
conversion of the Venrock Notes or (3) any other securities that
may be issued or distributed in respect of any of the securities
described in (1) or (2) above by way of conversion, dividend,
stock split or other distribution or specified corporate
transactions.  Registrable Securities do not include any
securities described above that were previously sold by the
Venrock Funds to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or are able to be
sold by the Venrock Funds without volume limitations pursuant to
Rule 144.  The Venrock Funds will bear certain registration
expenses and all selling expenses incurred in connection with any
registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement.

ARDENT MEDICAL: Moody's Affirms B2 Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Ardent Medical
Services, Inc. (Ardent), including the company's B2 Corporate
Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default Rating. Moody's
also affirmed the company's credit facility ratings including the
B1 rating on the first lien revolver and term loan and the Caa1
rating on the second lien term loan. The rating outlook is stable.

The affirmation of Ardent's B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects
Moody's expectation that pro forma debt to EBITDA will continue to
decline to around 5.0 times over the next 12 to 18 months. The pro
forma leverage amount reflects the repayment of debt with proceeds
from the sale of the company's health plan segment and adjustments
to exclude the losses in that segment from the ongoing run rate of
EBITDA. Moody's also expects EBITDA growth from the continued
improvement in the company's Albuquerque market following the
disruption caused by the loss of a significant referral source and
return on capital investments in other markets.

Following is a summary of Moody's rating actions on Ardent Medical
Services, Inc.:

Ratings affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating at B2

Probability of Default Rating at B2-PD

Senior secured first lien at B1 (LGD3)

Senior secured second lien at Caa1 (LGD5)

The rating outlook is stable

Ratings Rationale

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Ardent's high financial
leverage, limited geographic diversification and modest free cash
flow. Moody's also expects that the company will pursue
acquisitions, which could be debt financed, in order to increase
its scale. These risks are balanced against improving volume
trends and Moody's expectation that capital projects will
contribute to modest improvement in margins and cash flow.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation of modest
improvement in margins and cash flow. Additionally, while Moody's
expects that Ardent will continue to pursue additional investment
opportunities, Moody's anticipates that the company will maintain
a disciplined approach to debt financed acquisitions and entrance
into new markets.

The ratings could be upgraded if operating performance improves
and the company is expected to generate sustained positive free
cash flow. Additional diversification through expansion into new
markets without detriment to financial metrics could also result
in an upgrade. More specifically, the ratings could be upgraded if
debt to EBITDA is sustained below 4.5 times.

Conversely, the ratings could be downgraded if Ardent is not
expected to sustain debt to EBITDA below 5.5 times or if free cash
flow is expected to be negative. Liquidity deterioration or a
material debt financed acquisition could also result in a
downgrade of the ratings.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Healthcare Service Providers published in December 2011. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Ardent Medical Services, Inc., based in Nashville, Tennessee, is a
wholly owned subsidiary of AHS Medical Holdings LLC (collectively
Ardent). The company operates thirteen acute care hospitals in
three states. Ardent is a privately held company with a
controlling interest in its outstanding shares held by Welsh,
Carson, Anderson & Stowe.


AZUSA, CA: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Lease Revenue Refunding Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the city of Azusa's (CA)
Issuer Rating at Baa1 and the city's 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding
Certificates of Participation rating at Ba2. Moody's has
maintained the negative outlook on these ratings.

Rating Rationale

The affirmation of the issuer and COPs ratings reflects the city's
continued very weak general fund liquidity position. Most of the
city's General Fund reserves are non-spendable land assets. While
the sale of these land assets would substantially alleviate the
city's liquidity issues, whether the city can sell the land
remains uncertain. The city needs the state's Department of
Finance (DOF) to approve the transfer of the land to the city from
the former redevelopment agency. Without the land-sale proceeds,
the city has limited short-term financial flexibility reflected in
its negative available reserves.

The city's operating performance in recent years has been very
weak, including the city's reliance on its enterprise funds for
operating purposes. Operating performance is however showing some
signs of improvement with very small surpluses estimated in fiscal
2014 and budgeted for in 2015.

The Baa1 rating also incorporates the city's growing property tax
base, slowly improving economic profile, below-average
socioeconomic profile and very low direct debt burden.

The Baa1 issuer rating represents what the city's GO rating would
be if the city had such debt. Under California law, a city's GO
pledge is an unlimited ad valorem pledge of the city's tax base.
The city must raise property taxes by whatever amount necessary to
repay the obligation, irrespective of its underlying financial
position.

The Ba2 rating on the city's certificates of participation reflect
the less secure pledge for lease obligation payments and reflects
the additional risk to bondholders from the city's financial,
operational and economic condition over the more secure GO pledge.
A lease pledge is a contractual obligation, on parity with a
city's other unsecured obligations, backed by all of the city's
available financial resources.

The negative outlook reflects the city's operating challenges from
its limited operating flexibility as well as the uncertainty over
the city's ability to maintain and monetize the city's land assets
in the general fund.

Strengths

-- Stabilizing property tax base that increased in value in
    fiscal years 2013, 2014, and 2015

-- Low direct debt burden

-- Fast payout of debt

Challenges

-- Very limited general fund liquidity

-- Uneven operating performance

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING - UP

-- Timely sale of land assets resulting in a more liquid general
    fund reserves

-- Improved fiscal balance allowing for surplus revenues and
    rebuilding of reserves

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING - DOWN

-- Sustained fiscal imbalance resulting in further deterioration
    of reserves

-- Increased liquidity risk with negative operating cash flows
    leading to reliance on interfund and/or third-party resources

-- Adverse findings related to RDA obligations resulting in a
    negative financial impact to the city

The principal methodology used in the issuer (GO-equivalent)
rating was US Local Government General Obligation Debt published
in January 2014. The principal methodology used in the lease-
backed rating was The Fundamentals of Credit Analysis for Lease-
Backed Municipal Obligations published in December 2011.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Trustee, Developer Strike Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Edward Blumenfeld, a real-estate developer, who invested with
Bernard Madoff agreed to return $32.75 million in cash and
surrender $29.35 million in claims against the convicted Ponzi-
scheme operator?s investment firm under a new settlement.
According to the report, Irving Picard , the court-appointed
trustee for Mr. Madoff's company, filed papers in bankruptcy court
outlining a settlement with Mr. Blumenfeld, his New York real-
estate company and his family, which settlement was the product of
multiple mediation sessions.

                     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 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 commenced distributions to victims, with the fourth
and latest batch of distributions done in May 2014.  Distributions
to eligible claimants have totaled almost $6 billion, which
includes $812.2 million in committed advances from the SIPC.  More
than 1,100 victims have already recovered the full principal they
lost in the fraud.

As of May 2014, Mr. Picard has recovered or reached agreements to
recover $9.8 billion since his appointment in December 2008.


BG MEDICINE: Suspends Payments to Non-Employee Directors
--------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of BG Medicine, Inc., suspended further
payments of cash and equity compensation to its non-employee
directors under the Company's Non-Employee Director Compensation
Policy for services to be provided by the non-employee directors
beginning on Oct. 1, 2014.  The Board took this action to conserve
the Company's cash and equity to deploy for other operational
purposes.  The Board intends to re-evaluate the payment of
compensation to its non-employee directors in 2015, the Company
disclosed in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.

                         About BG Medicine

Waltham, Mass.-based BG Medicine is a diagnostics company focused
on the development and commercialization of novel cardiovascular
diagnostic tests to address significant unmet medical needs,
improve patient outcomes and contain healthcare costs.  The
Company is currently commercializing two diagnostic tests, the
first of which is the BGM Galectin-3 test, a novel assay for
measuring galectin-3 levels in blood plasma or serum for use as an
aid in assessing the prognosis of patients diagnosed with heart
failure.  The Company's second diagnostic test is the CardioSCORE
test, which is designed to identify individuals at high risk for
near-term, significant cardiovascular events, such as heart attack
and stroke.

BG Medicine reported a net loss of $15.84 million on $4.07 million
of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared
with a net loss of $23.76 million on $2.81 million of total
revenues during the prior year.  The Company's balance sheet at
June 30, 2014, showed $11.24 million in total assets, $7.25
million in total liabilities and $3.98 million in total
stockholders' equity.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Boston, Massachusetts, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company's recurring losses from operations, recurring
cash used in operating cash flows and stockholders' deficit raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.


BROADWAY FINANCIAL: Raised $9.7 Million From Private Placement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Broadway Financial Corporation has completed its previously
announced plan to raise additional common equity, extend the
maturity of the Company's Floating Rate Junior Subordinated
Debentures and implement modifications to the payment terms of the
Debentures.

The Company raised approximately $9.7 million of new equity
capital through private sales of an aggregate of 1,856,229 shares
of voting common stock and 6,973,320 shares of non-voting common
stock at a price of $1.10 per share to twenty-four investors, led
by an entity affiliated with Gapstow Capital Partners, and
including members of the Company's Board of Directors and senior
management.  The other investors included both new and current
stockholders.  The net proceeds from the placement were used to
repay $900,000 of the principal amount of the Debentures at face
value, pay all of the accrued interest on the Debentures, which
had accumulated to approximately $805 thousand over the past four
years, and retire the outstanding principal balance of $2.425
million, and related accrued interest, on the Company's senior
loan due to another bank.  The remaining $4.7 million of net
proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund the
Company's working capital and make an incremental investment into
the Bank to support growth.

As a result of these transactions, the Company's remaining debt
consists solely of $5.1 million of Debentures.  Debt service
requirements have been reduced for the next five years to
approximately $142 thousand per year based on current interest
rates.  The modified terms of the Debentures require quarterly
payments of interest only for the next five years at the original
rate of 3 Month LIBOR plus 2.54%.  Starting in June 2019, the
Company will be required to make quarterly payments of equal
amounts of principal, plus interest, until the Debentures are
fully amortized on March 17, 2024.  The Debentures may be called

final chapter in the restructuring of the Company's balance sheet.
In conjunction with the improvements in the quality and
performance of our loan portfolio, we are now able to devote our
attention to producing profitable growth and enhancing operations
for our investors.  We are especially pleased that several of the
investors that participated in our Recapitalization in August
2013, including Gapstow Capital Partners, National Community
Investment Fund, Economic Resources Corporation, and the
California Community Foundation, elected to invest additional
funds in the Private Placement in support of our mission of
serving low-to-moderate income communities in Southern California.
In the near term, we will accelerate our efforts to improve
operations and pursue growth, and continue our efforts to remove
the restrictions under our regulatory orders.

Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to
express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the members of the
local communities that we serve, our employees, and all of our
stockholders for their patience and enduring support through the
extended process that was required to successfully return Broadway
and the Bank to a solid financial foundation.  Your support is a
strong testimony to the strength of Broadway's brand and position
in Southern California, and enables the Company to continue to be
a leader in serving low-to-moderate income communities in Southern
California."

Jack Thompson, Head of Financial Institutions Investments of
Gapstow Capital Partners, commented, "We are proud to help
Broadway Financial complete its financial restructuring so that
the Bank can continue making loans to foster local businesses and
provide affordable housing to low-to-moderate income families in
Southern California.  Gapstow Capital Partners has invested in a
number of community banks that, like Broadway Financial, are the
lifeblood of their communities.  We believe that their health is a
vital component of the overall economy."

Los Angeles, Calif.-based Broadway Financial Corporation was
incorporated under Delaware law in 1995 for the purpose of
acquiring and holding all of the outstanding capital stock of
Broadway Federal Savings and Loan Association as part of the
Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings
association to a federally chartered stock savings bank.  In
connection with the conversion, the Bank's name was changed to
Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b.  The conversion was completed, and
the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in
January 1996.

The Company is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.  The Bank is regulated by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

liabilities and $26.56 million in total stockholders' equity.


CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Bankruptcy Filing Possible, Analysts Say
---------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Bumazhny, a financial analyst at Fitch Ratings, said that
bankruptcy for Caesars Entertainment Corporation is likely, given
the amount of debt, Craig Pearson, writing for The Windsor Star,
reports.

The Windsor Star says that some analysts have predicted that if
the Company files for bankruptcy protection, it could happen
before the end of the year or early next year.

John Seward at Benzinga relates that the Company entered into non-
disclosure accords with major creditors last week to allow bank
negotiations to start.  The Debtor is seeking to reduce its
$24.2 billion debt and forestall a bankruptcy filing,
Insidetrade.co adds.

According to The Windsor Star, the Company recently filed a
document on its financing plan with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Mr. Bumazhny, says The Windsor Star, noted
that so many creditors make an agreement difficult to achieve.
"But we don't really think it's going to have a major impact on
the operations," the report quoted Mr. Bumazhny as saying.  The
report says that Mr. Bumazhny expects things to worsen for the
Company before they improve.  The Company could shut down more
facilities, but not in the near future and not because of its
financial restructuring, the report states, citing the analyst.

The Company has its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas.

Harrah's announced its re-branding to Caesar's in mid-November
2010.

Caesars Entertainment reported a net loss of $2.93 billion in
2013, as compared with a net loss of $1.50 billion in 2012.  As of
June 30, 2014, the Company had $27.06 billion in total assets,
$29.64 billion in total liabilities and a $2.57 billion
total deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on April 9, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Caesars Entertainment Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating to Caa2.

"The downgrade of Caesars' ratings considers that its same store
EBITDA growth in 2012-2013 has failed to materialize to any
significant degree, and so Caesars' credit metrics have
deteriorated and its free cash flow deficit will be higher than
Moody's previous expectations," stated Moody's analyst Peggy
Holloway.

In the April 10, 2014, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit ratings on Las
Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CEC) and wholly owned
subsidiaries, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. (CEOC) and
Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties (CERP), as well
as the indirectly majority-owned Chester Downs and Marina, to
'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  The downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that
Caesars' capital structure is unsustainable, and the amount of
cash the company will burn in 2014 and 2015 creates conditions
under which S&P believes a restructuring of some form is
increasingly likely over the near term absent an unanticipated
significantly favorable change in operating performance.

Entertainment Corp (CEC) and Caesars Entertainment
Operating Company (CEOC) to 'CC' from 'CCC'.


CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Gets Notice of Default From Noteholders
--------------------------------------------------------------
Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a majority-owned
subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Corporation, received a Notice
of Default from holders purporting to own at least 30% in
principal amount of CEOC's outstanding second-priority senior
secured notes issued under the Indenture, dated Dec. 24, 2008, by
and among CEOC, CEC and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as
successor trustee to U.S. Bank National Association, according to
a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The Noteholders' claims in the Notice are substantially similar to
the claims made by the noteholders and the trustee of CEOC's
second-priority senior secured notes issued under the Indenture,
dated April 15, 2009, by and among CEOC, CEC and Wilmington
Savings Fund Society, FSB, as successor trustee.

The Notice claims that to the extent the defaults are not remedied
within 60 days, those defaults will become events of default under
the Indenture.

There is approximately $1 billion of Notes outstanding under the
Indenture.  Under certain circumstances, the holders of at least
30% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may accelerate CEOC's
obligations under the Notes upon an actual event of default under
the Indenture and may, after providing the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense, request the Trustee to pursue
remedies, which are subject to the terms of the agreements
governing the Notes, including applicable intercreditor
agreements.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: To Enter Into Formal Talks w/ Bank Lenders
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Allen, writing for The Deal, reported that bank lenders to
Caesars Entertainment Corp.'s operating subsidiary have signed
confidentiality agreements to enter formal negotiations as the
casino operator attempts to rally lenders to work out a
restructuring plan.  According to the report, CreditSights Inc.
analyst Chris Snow expects that the private equity-backed company
will discuss a comprehensive restructuring plan for Caesars
Entertainment Operating Co., the highly indebted operating unit,
and the timing of executing such a plan, but he also thinks the
company may have more specific goals in mind.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, CEOC, on
Oct. 16, 2014, entered into certain control arrangements with
Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as successor collateral
agent for the first lien secured creditors covered by a Collateral
Agreement, in order to provide the first lien secured creditors
with a perfected lien on its cash.

According to Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists
for Bloomberg News, granting the lien may mean that the largest
U.S. casino owner won?t file for Chapter 11 reorganization at
earliest until late January because a sooner filing would permit
voiding the newly-granted lien as a so-called preference.

CANOVA'S KITCHEN: Closes Down East Lake Road Restaurant
-------------------------------------------------------
Canova's Kitchen, Inc., shut down its Peppers restaurant on East
Lake Road in September, Megan Brandow at the Daily Messenger
reports.

According to Daily Messenger, documents show that the business
bankruptcy case was closed in July 2014, months before the
restaurant closed its doors.  Daily Messenger relates that the
Company's owner, Darren Canova, also filed for Chapter 7 personal
bankruptcy on Aug. 9, 2014, and that case is still pending,
awaiting a meeting of creditors.

Victor, New York-based Canova's Kitchen, Inc., dba Peppers Deli &
Pastas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
W.D.N.Y. Case No. 13-21454) on Sept. 24, 2013.  Judge Paul R.
Warren presided over the case.  David H. Ealy, Esq., at Trevett,
Cristo, Salzer & Andolina, P.C., served as the Company's
bankruptcy counsel.  The Company estimated its assets and debts at
between $500,001 and $1,000,000 each.


CASH STORE: Obtains OK to Sell Part of Business to Money Mart
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. disclosed that the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has approved the
binding agreement for Cash Store Financial to sell a portion of
its business and assets to National Money Mart Company, as
announced on Oct. 9, 2014.

The Agreement and the completion of the Transaction remain subject
to certain regulatory approvals and satisfaction of certain
customary closing conditions.  The current expectation remains
that the Transaction will be completed by late 2014 or early 2015,
following regulatory approval.  Cash Store Financial will continue
to provide updates as the necessary approvals are obtained and the
Transaction is finalized.  In the interim, the Company will
continue to operate its business as usual.

Cash Store Financial's Chief Restructuring Officer and Rothschild
Inc., the Company's financial advisor, in consultation with the
CCAA Court-appointed Monitor, FTI Consulting Canada Inc., have
determined that the bid submitted by Money Mart was the most
favorable bid received, and was therefore selected pursuant to the
terms of the Sale Process.

Further details regarding the Transaction, along with other
details regarding the Company's Companies' Creditors Arrangement
Act proceedings, are available on the Monitor's Web site at
http://cfcanada.fticonsulting.com/cashstorefinancial. The Company
will continue to provide updates on its restructuring and the
Transaction as matters advance.

                       Default Status Report

Cash Store provided a default status report in accordance with the
alternative information guidelines in National Policy 12-203 Cease
Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults.

On May 16, 2014, the Company announced that it was not able to
file an interim financial report and interim management's
discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2014,
together with the related certifications of those interim filings
by May 15, 2014, the deadline prescribed by securities
legislation.

Except as disclosed in previous press releases, there have been no
material changes to the information contained in the Default
Announcement or any other changes required to be disclosed by
National Policy 12-203.

The Company still intends to file the Continuous Disclosure
Documents as soon as is commercially reasonable, or as required by
the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) pursuant
to the Cash Store Financial's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act
("CCAA") proceedings.

The Monitor has filed with the Court periodic reports which have
included Cash Store Financial's cash flow projections and other
financial information concerning the Company. The Company
anticipates that the Monitor will continue to file reports with
the Court (and post them on its website), updating relevant
financial information concerning the Company.  The Monitor's
reports, Court records and other details regarding the Company's
CCAA proceedings are available on the Monitor's Web site at

                      Seeks OK to Comply With
                     Document Production Demand

Cash Store said it is seeking court approval of a proposal aimed
at preserving Company resources while meeting its obligations to
comply with a document production demand by the Alberta Securities
Commission related to an investigation by the ASC.

The ASC ordered the Company to produce a large number of documents
to facilitate an investigation.  While the Chief Restructuring
Officer of the Company has been working diligently to review the
requested documents and provide all those that are not legally
privileged, the cost of a review in this case is significant.
Working with the Company, the ASC has proposed a solution that
will (i) permit the Company to comply with the ASC's production
order; (ii) ensure that review of the documents is conducted in a
cost-effective manner; and (iii) protect legally privileged
documents from being produced.  The Company served motion
materials today for court approval of this proposed solution.

The ASC recently confirmed that its investigation, which was
previously confidential pursuant to section 45 of the Alberta
Securities Act, may be divulged in order to seek court approval of
this proposal.

CAPITAL AUTOMOTIVE: Moody's Assigns Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned Capital Automotive LLC
(New) a Ba3 Corporate Family Rating following the transfer of
ownership from investors advised by DRA Advisors LLC, to
Brookfield Property Partners and its institutional partners.
Concurrently, Moody's affirmed the Ba2 senior secured credit
facility rating and the B1 second lien term loan rating of Capital
Automotive L.P. ('Operating company'), the operating partnership
that is owned by Capital Automotive LLC (New).

The following rating was assigned with stable outlook:

Capital Automotive LLC (New) -- Corporate family rating at Ba3

The following ratings were affirmed with a stable outlook:

Capital Automotive LP Senior secured credit facility at Ba2,
Second lien term loan at B1

Ratings Rationale

Brookfield Property Partners and its institutional partners have
acquired Capital Auto from DRA Advisors' managed funds for $4.3
billion. The transaction included $300 million new ABS debt
issuance and a $100 million increase to the second lien credit
facility. Unused capacity on the $200 million revolver maturing in
2018, stable operating cash flows and no debt maturities till
2017, are some factors that offset the deterioration in leverage
metrics. Capital Auto will continue to guarantee the secured
facility and second lien borrowings of the operating company.

Capital Auto's portfolio consists of triple net lease assets with
high occupancy. The portfolio is geographically diverse (35
states) and weighted average rental coverage is strong at 4.0x.
The EBITDA margins are strong and fixed charge coverage was 1.7x
in the first half of 2014. On the downside, speculative rated
dealerships account for a large portion of Capital Auto's
clientele and there are few alternative uses for Capital Auto's
properties. In addition, Capital Auto's dividend payout ratio has
been high in recent quarters; Capital Auto's portfolio growth
strategy and the new investor's capitalization strategy would
influence future trends.

The outlook for the rating is stable based on the expectation that
Capital Auto's operational strengths will continue to generate
predictable cash flows to support its debt service. The entity's
diversified client base, strong rent coverage and improving trends
in auto dealership performance are some other factors that
contribute to the stable outlook.

Moody's would consider an upgrade if Capital Auto's net
debt/EBITDA was below 9x, secured debt as a proportion of gross
assets was less than 50%, fixed charge coverage was above 1.8x on
a consistent basis and the company maintained adequate liquidity
to meet obligations for at least 12 months. Deterioration in net
debt/EBITDA to above 12.0x, effective leverage (debt + preferred
as a % of gross assets) above 80% and fixed charge below 1.5x are
some factors that could lead to a downgrade.

Capital Automotive LLC (New), headquartered in McLean, Virginia,
owns and acquires real estate used by multi-franchised auto
dealerships and related businesses. As of June 30, 2014, Capital
Auto had a portfolio of auto retail assets representing 448
automotive franchises.

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


CATALENT PHARMA: Moody's Raises Corp. Family Rating to B1
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Catalent Pharma Solutions,
Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to B1 from B2, Probability of
Default rating to B1-PD from B2-PD and Senior Unsecured Term loan
rating to B3 from Caa1. Moody's also affirmed the company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-2. The rating outlook is
positive. These rating actions follow Catalent's successful
initial public offering and subsequent debt repayment of more than
$870 million. This concludes the rating review that was initiated
on July 31, 2014.

At the same time, Moody's also lowered the senior secured credit
facilities rating to B1 from Ba3. Because the debt reduction
involved Catalent's senior subordinated debt and senior unsecured
notes and a large portion of the unsecured term loan, the
remaining debt structure is predominantly composed of senior
secured credit facilities with limited loss absorption cushion
from junior debt. As such, the senior secured debt credit
facilities are rated at par with the B1 Corporate Family Rating.

The one notch upgrade of the CFR to B1 reflects Catalent's recent
improvement in organic revenue growth and operating profit in
spite of on-going industry challenges. The upgrade reflects the
significant deleveraging effect from the debt repayment from the
recent IPO. The debt paydown using IPO proceeds was substantial
and has reduced Catalent's leverage to below 5.0x debt/EBITDA,
from a previous level of 7.0x, and meaningfully reduced cash
interest expense.

The positive rating outlook reflects Catalent's improving
operating trend as well as Moody's expectation that the company
will likely be able to reinvigorate revenue growth close to its
long-term growth rate in the mid-single digit range over the next
12-18 months. In addition, absent meaningful acquisition
activities, Moody's expects a portion of the free cash flow to be
used to reduce debt, resulting in further deleveraging.

The rating actions are as follows:

Ratings upgraded:

Corporate Family Rating to B1 from B2

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

Senior unsecured term loan to B3, LGD6 from Caa1, LGD5

Rating affirmed:

Speculative Grade Liquidity rating at SGL-2

Rating downgraded:

Senior secured revolving credit facility to B1, LGD3 from Ba3,
LGD3

Senior secured term loan to B1, LGD3 from Ba3, LGD3

Rating outlook: Positive

Ratings Rationale

Catalent's B1 rating is constrained by industry-wide contract
manufacturing challenges including reduced R&D spending by large
pharmaceutical manufacturer customers, generic drug conversion and
pricing pressure and high fixed costs, which can create volatility
in net profit and cash flow. The rating is also constrained by
Catalent's moderately high debt/EBITDA which Moody's expects to
remain at approximately 4.5x in the near term. Moody's believes,
however, that Catalent will benefit from the favorable trend of
increasing outsourcing by the pharmaceutical and biotech industry
and that it is relatively well positioned in mitigating the above
challenges given the company's large scale and diversified
customer base. In addition, the company is a leader in development
and manufacturing of softgels and other oral drug delivery
technologies ("Oral Technologies") and commands a large library of
patents, know-how, and other intellectual properties that not only
raise barriers to entry but also help enhance margins.

Should Catalent sustain positive operating momentum in the near to
medium term and further reduce its financial leverage such that
its debt/EBITDA approaches 4.0x, and free cash flow to debt
improves towards 10%, Moody's could upgrade the company's ratings.

If Moody's expects leverage to be sustained at or above 5.5x,
either due to deterioration in EBITDA, acquisitions or
shareholder-friendly payouts, Moody's could downgrade the ratings.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Business & Consumer Service Industry Rating Methodology published
in October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given

CONSTELLATION BRANDS: Fitch Rates $800MM Dual Tranche Notes 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to Constellation Brands
Inc. $800 million dual-tranche senior notes due 2019 and 2024. The
Rating Outlook is Stable. Constellation expects to use the net
proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment
of indebtedness. Constellation has $500 million of 8.375% notes
maturing in December 2014.

Key Rating Drivers

Leverage Impact from Investment Relatively Neutral; Long-term
Improvement Expected

Fitch believes that while total debt levels are expected to
increase and the free cash flow (FCF) outlook has decreased in the
near term due to recently announced strategic initiatives,
leverage expectations should remain relatively neutral. Moreover,
Fitch expects Constellation to remain on-track to restore leverage
back under 4x during fiscal 2016 as the substantial investments in
the beer segment reflect stronger underlying growth in revenues,
profitability and cash flows than previously expected.

Pro forma for the offering, total debt-to-EBITDA for Aug. 31, 2014
was approximately 4.4x. Leverage, while improved from the close of
the Modelo acquisition, remains outside of current expectations
for the 'BB+' rating category. The post-closing adjustment payment
of approximately $558 million due in June 2014, the high capital
investment required for the brewery expansion and the glass
sourcing investment strategy limits any meaningful debt reduction
through fiscal 2016. Consequently, cash flow growth is expected to
drive further leverage improvement to below 4x during fiscal year
(FY) 2016. Lease adjusted funds from operations (FFO) gross
leverage was approximately 5.1x as of Aug. 31, 2014 which is
consistent with the 'BB' category for an alcoholic beverage
company. Fitch expects FFO adjusted leverage will improve
moderately over the forecast.

Good Market Position and Diversification
The ratings recognize Constellation's strong position in the
premium beer, wine and spirits business that supports its sizable
and stable cash generation. Fitch expects Constellation will
produce increasing levels of cash from operations driven
principally by expectations for favorable industry demand trends,
further leverage on new product development, and the potential for
increased efficiencies through cost synergies.

Constellation is one of the foremost leading producers of premium
wine and spirits. The company sold approximately 32 million cases
during the first half of FY2015 with leading market share
positions in the U.S., Canada and New Zealand. Constellation
markets multiple wine brands across all categories and at several
price points. Its well-known wine brands include; Robert Mondavi
Brands, Clos du Bois, Estancia, Black Box, Arbor Mist, Blackstone,
Rex Goliath, Simi, Toasted Head, Mark West, Ravenswood, Franciscan
Estate, Ruffino, Wild Horse, Kim Crawford, Mount Veeder, Nobilo
and Inniskillin. These focus brands represent the majority of U.S
profitability. Premium spirit brands in its portfolio include
SVEDKA Vodka, and Black Velvet Canadian Whisky all of which,
according to the company, have a leading position in their
respective categories. In the U.S., Constellation sells 14 of the
top-selling 100 table wine brands.

Constellation has a perpetual, exclusive license to import, market
and sell primarily Grupo Modelo's Mexican beer portfolio in the 50
states of the U.S., the District of Columbia and Guam. According
to the company, Constellation is the largest imported beer company
in the U.S. and the third largest beer company overall with a beer
portfolio that contains five of the top 15 imported beers. Corona
Extra is the best-selling imported beer with more than 100 million
cases sold, significantly higher than the nearest import
competitor, Heineken. Corona Light is the leading imported light
beer with almost 14 million cases sold.

The Modelo acquisition also substantially increased the
diversification of Constellation revenues and cash flows.
Constellation generates approximately 55% of revenues and more
than 60% of segment operating income from the beer business.
Constellation should benefit from the current marketing momentum
in the beer segment, the expected favorable growth of imported
beer sales in the U.S., and the strength of the Corona brand. As
such, Fitch anticipates the beer segment mix to grow during the
next several years as Constellation increases earnings and cash
flow over the longer term.

Solid Liquidity and Profitability Underpin Financial Profile
Constellation's liquidity was approximately $835 million as of
Aug. 31, 2014. The company had a cash position of $104 million and
approximately $726 million of availability under its $850 million
revolving five-year secured credit facility that matures in 2018.
Constellation has two accounts receivable securitization
facilities that provide additional borrowing capacity from $190
million up to $290 million and from $100 million up to $160
million. Constellation had availability on the facilities of $270
million and $154 million respectively as of Aug. 31, 2014.

FCF for the latest 12 month (LTM) period ending Aug 31, 2014 was
$520 million. Constellation's reduced FCF expectation for fiscal
2015 to the range of $275 million - $350 million, which is
reasonable and achievable. FCF expectations in FY2016 are more
modest, which Fitch estimates at less than $100 million and
consider the increased brewery investment in FY2016 to FY2018 from
approximately $800 million to $1 billion. Upcoming debt maturities
in fiscal 2015 include $500 million of 8.375% notes due in
December 2014 and $700 million of 7.25% notes in FY2017. Annual
amortization requirements for the next three fiscal years are
approximately $24 million remaining in FY2015, $139 million in
FY2016 and $182 million in FY2017.

Constellation's profitability metrics are strong for the ratings
and consistent with an investment grade profile for FFO margin,
EBIT, EBITDAR, FCF margin and profit volatility. FCF margin is
expected to weaken considerably in FY2015 before rebounding as
peak investment levels decrease in the beer segment. Constellation
estimates operating margins within the beer segment in the mid 30s
range with FCF of greater than $1 billion in FY2018.

Flexible Covenants

The covenants and guarantors of the notes are the same as existing
senior notes due 2021, 2022 and 2023. The senior notes are pari
passu with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of
Constellation.

Constellation has material flexibility under its financial
covenants for the credit facility. The maximum total leverage
covenant is 5.5x. The minimum interest coverage covenant is 2.50x.
Minimal restrictions exist for the issuance of incremental debt,
and restricted payments are generally allowed if leverage as
defined by the facility is equal to or less than 4.5x. Mandatory
prepayments include amortization payments on the term loans and
proceeds from material assets sales unless reinvested within a
pre-specified time period.

Solid Operating Performance

For the first half of FY2015, Constellation generated $3.1 billion
of net sales with results driven by a 12% increase in net sales
from the beer segment. Beer shipment volume grew 8.8% for the
first half to 111.5 million cases. Organic shipment volumes for
the wine and spirits segment decreased modestly by 1.2% to 31.9
million cases due primarily to lower wine volumes in the U.S.,
largely from a planned reduction in inventory levels by one of
Constellation's exclusive distributors. Brand building efforts and
innovation across Constellation's beer portfolio allowed the
company to take share and grow at above market rates. The company
expects sales growth in the mid to high single digit range for the
beer business and sales growth in the low to mid-single digit
range for the wine and spirits category during fiscal 2015.

Rating Sensitivities

Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead
to a positive rating action include:

-- Given the current increase in leverage as a result of the
   Modelo acquisition, an upgrade of Constellation's ratings is
   not anticipated over the rating horizon. Constellation's track
   record of deleveraging following acquisitions and current
   commitment to reducing leverage back below 4.0x during fiscal
   2016 was a key rating factor at the time the acquisition
   closed.

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to a negative rating action include:

-- Expectations that Constellation will sustain leverage above
   4.5x following a material debt-financed acquisition.

-- Management allocating FCF for other strategic equity-friendly
   initiatives before reducing leverage back to the low 4x range,
   which is more in line with expectations for the 'BB+' rating
   category.

-- Sustained FFO fixed charge coverage of less than 3.5x.

-- Significant and ongoing deterioration in profitability that
   adversely affects operating results due to competitive
   activity.

Fitch currently rates Constellation as follows:

Constellation Brands, Inc. (Parent)

-- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB+';
-- Senior unsecured notes at 'BB+';
-- $850 million senior secured revolver facility at 'BB+';
-- $496 million senior secured term loan A at 'BB+';
-- $245 million senior secured term loan A-1 at 'BB+';
-- $650 million senior secured term loan A-2 at 'BB+.

CIH International S.a.r.l. (Wholly Owned Subsidiary)

-- Long-term IDR at 'BB+'.
-- $481 million European senior secured term loan A at 'BB+';
-- $990 million European senior secured term loan B at 'BB+'.


CONSTELLATION BRANDS: Moody's Assigns Ba1 Rating on $800MM Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to Constellation
Brands Inc.'s new 5 and 10 year bonds totaling $800 million. The
rating outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

Constellation's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating reflects its
meaningful scale, which doubled as a result of the June 2013 US
Modelo acquisition, and its good product diversification and the
successful integration of the Modelo beer business.
Constellation's products include an extensive portfolio of premium
wine, spirits and imported beers. Constellation is the third
largest beer company in the United States -- albeit well behind
the leaders -- and the largest imported beer company in the
country. Moody's expect that Constellation's portfolio of premium
imported Mexican beers will continue to grow faster than the
overall U.S. beer market. The Ba1 rating also reflects
Constellation's franchise strength and diversity with a presence
in the all three alcohol categories, as well as its strong cash
flow and solid profitability. These strengths are offset by the
company's high leverage and large capital spending requirements
resulting from the acquisition of the U.S. Modelo business and
investments in its glass strategy and further capacity expansion.
Constellation's stable outlook reflects that its ability to pay
down debt will be somewhat limited by these large capital spending
requirements over the next two years. However Moody's expect
Constellation's debt to EBITDA leverage to fall below 4 times over
the next 12 to 18 months.

An upgrade could occur if the company sustains strong operating
profit, and reduces leverage. An upgrade would also require that
management show a firm commitment to a more conservative financial
policy than its current one, including setting financial targets
that would reduce leverage levels such that debt to EBITDA is
maintained under 3.5 times. Furthermore, there would need to be a
clearly articulated commitment by management to being investment
grade.

A downgrade could occur if operating performance weakens such that
EBITA margins are sustained below 15%, or if for any other reason
debt/EBITDA is sustained above 4.5 times, or liquidity weakens. In
addition, problems related to the brewery expansion in Mexico, a
debt-financed acquisition or debt-financed shareholder returns
could also lead to a downgrade.

The Ba1 rating on Constellation's unsecured notes is the same as
the company's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating, reflecting Moody's view
that debt that is effectively unsecured represents the
preponderance of debt in the capital structure. Moody's view the
unsecured notes as effectively pari passu with the U.S. senior
secured credit facilities. The credit facilities are only secured
by a perfected first priority pledge of the stock of direct and
certain indirect domestic subsidiaries and other non-domestic
subsidiaries to the extent allowable. Moody's view this type of
collateral as weak, and hence assign a 100% deficiency claim
against it - effectively treating this debt as unsecured from a
loss given default perspective.

Headquartered in Victor, New York, Constellation Brands, Inc.
("Constellation", or "STZ") is a leading international wine
company and the largest U.S. beer importer, with a broad portfolio
of premium brands across the wine, spirits, and imported beer
categories. Major brands in the company's portfolio include
Corona, Modelo, Pacifico, Robert Mondavi, Clos du Bois,
Ravenswood, Blackstone, Nobilo, Kim Crawford, Inniskillin,
Jackson-Triggs, Arbor Mist, Black Velvet Canadian Whisky, and
SVEDKA vodka.

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


CONSTELLATION BRANDS: S&P Gives 'BB+' Rating on $800MM Sr. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' senior
unsecured debt rating and '3' recovery rating to Constellation
Brands Inc.'s proposed $800 million senior unsecured notes
consisting of a five-year and 10-year tranches (actual amounts and
maturity dates to be finalized at the close of the transaction).
The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful
(50%-70%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  Recovery
ratings on unsecured debt issued by companies rated 'BB-' or
higher are generally capped at '3' to account for the greater risk
of recovery prospects being impaired from expected incremental
debt issuance prior to default.

The company will issue the notes under its new shelf.  S&P expects
the company to use net proceeds of this offering to redeem its
$500 million senior notes due Dec. 15, 2014, and for general
corporate purposes.

The ratings on Constellation Brands reflect S&P's assessment of
the company's business risk profile as "strong" and financial risk
profile as "aggressive."  Key credit factors in S&P's business
risk assessment include the company's large scale (more than
doubling its reported sales base following the Crown transaction
that was completed in June 2013), expanded participation within
the alcoholic beverage segment, portfolio of well-known brands
with good market shares, and historically strong cash generation
in the highly competitive alcoholic beverage markets.  However,
Constellation Brands' geographic focus remains relatively narrow
as almost 90% of its fiscal 2014 net revenues were from the U.S.
S&P's assessment of Constellation Brands' financial risk profile
incorporates S&P's view that the company will maintain key credit
measures consistent with those of an "aggressive" financial risk
profile despite increased capital spending to complete its planned
capacity expansion at it Mexico-based brewing facility during the
next several years.  This includes S&P's expectation that
Constellation Brands will maintain a core leverage ratio of
between 4x and 5x, and funds from operations to debt in the 12%-
20% range in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.

COUPOUNAS LLC: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
---------------------------------------------------------
Coupounas, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D. Colo. Case No. 14-23906) on Oct. 13, 2014, disclosing its
estimated assets and liabilities at $1 million to $10 million
each.

The Debtor had more than $4.9 million in unsecured claims,
according to documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Colorado.  Court records show that the largest
unsecured claims are held by Hong Kong-based manufacturers,
exporters and suppliers including: (i) A Garment (H.K.) Ltd., owed
almost $1.34 million; (ii) Hanoman International Ltd., owed under
$457,700; and (iii) Li & Fung (Trading) Ltd., owed almost
$440,000.

Jon Underhill, the Debtor's spokesperson, said in an e-mailed
statement to the Daily Camera, "GoLite has filed Chapter 11 in
order to restructure debt to support a healthy, profitable,
growing company best able to serve our customers with great
lightweight outdoor apparel and equipment for many years to come."
According to Alicia Wallace at the Daily Camera, Mr. Underhill
assured that the Debtor's workers would not be affected.

The Debtor expects to emerge from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a
stronger position, the Daily Camera reports, citing the Debtor's
officials.

The Daily Camera relates that the Debtor's attorneys listed 13
leases -- including those of shops in outlet malls like the
Cabazon Outlets mall in Cabazon, California, the Aspen Grove
Lifestyle Center in Littleton, and retail spaces in cities like
Aspen and Colorado Springs -- that the Debtor would want to
reject.  According to the report, the Debtor seems to have closed
down those stores in recent weeks and months.

James T. Markus, Esq., at Markus Williams Young & Zimmermann LLC,
serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.

Boulder, Colorado-based Coupounas, LLC, dba GoLite, LLC, makes
outdoor clothing and equipment.  GoLite was founded in 1998 by a
husband and wife, Kim and Demetri Coupounas.


DAVE & BUSTER: Moody's Hikes Rating on $495MM Bank Facility to B1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Dave & Buster's Inc.'s (D&B)
$495 million bank facility to B1, including its $50 million senior
secured revolver due 2019 and $444 million (pro forma for the $86
million pay-down from IPO proceeds) senior secured term loan due
2020 and its Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-1 from SGL-
2. The company's B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2-PD Probability
of Default Rating were affirmed. The rating outlook has also been
revised to positive from stable.

On October 16, 2014, D&B closed its IPO and raised net proceeds of
about $86 million which was used to reduce its original $530
million term loan due 2020. There is also an option for the
underwriters to purchase additional shares which, if completed,
could raise an additional $14 million of net proceeds for D&B that
Moody's expects would be used to reduce debt further. Following
the IPO, Oak Hill Capital Partners will maintain about 80%
ownership of D&B.

The revision of the rating outlook to positive reflects the
improved leverage and coverage metrics following the debt
reduction. Pro forma lease-adjusted debt/EBITDA improves to 4.7x
from 5.2x and EBITA/interest remains relatively flat at 1.4x. The
positive rating outlook also reflects Moody's expectation that D&B
will continue to grow its revenue and earnings over the next 12 to
18 months as the company grows the number of new/remodeled stores
and maintains positive same store sales, such that debt/EBITDA
will be sustained below 5.0x and EBITA/interest above 2.0x times
(metrics are adjusted for Moody's standard adjustments and does
not include add backs for stock based compensation expense or
management fees). Moody's notes that in addition to earnings
improvement, D&B's interest coverage will benefit over the next 12
months from recent steps the company has taken to reduce its
overall cost of debt, including refinancing its high cost PIK
holdco notes and reducing the company's total debt outstanding.
The upgrade of D&B's senior secured debt rating to B1 from B2 --
one notch above the Corporate Family Rating -- reflects the
reduction of senior secured debt following the pay-down with IPO
proceeds.

Ratings affirmed:

  Corporate Family Rating at B2

  Probability of Default Rating at B2-PD

Ratings Upgraded:

  $50 million senior secured revolver due 2019 to B1 (LGD3) from
  B2 (LGD3)

  $444 million senior secured term loan due 2020 to B1 (LGD3)
  from B2 (LGD3)

  Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-1 from SGL-2

Ratings Rationale

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects the highly capital
intensive nature of the D&B's business model that constrains free
cash flow generation, exposure to trends in discretionary consumer
spending, and the company's somewhat limited scale in terms of the
number of system wide units and scope. The rating also considers
past shareholder-friendly actions, including a dividend
recapitalization in 2011.

Positive considerations include D&B's strong EBITDA growth and
positive same store sales which has outpaced its peers. D&B
reported positive same store sales of 5.2% for the six months
ending August 3, 2014 versus the prior year. Over the same time
period, D&B's EBITDA has grown about 15% which along with the
repayment from IPO proceeds has reduced the company's pro forma
debt/EBITDA to about 4.7 times which is modest compared to rated
peers. Interest coverage, pro forma for the debt reduction and the
elimination of the PIK holdco notes is expected to improve to
above 2.0 times. The ratings also acknowledge D&B's leading
position in the niche, combined food & entertainment industry,
strong brand recognition, diverse geographic footprint, and the
resilience of its operating performance during the downturn.

D&B's SGL-1 reflects its very good liquidity profile. Over the
next 12 to 18 months Moody's expects the company will generate
sufficient free cash flow to cover its interest expense, required
amortization and all capex while maintaining cash balances of
above $50 million. D&B has an undrawn $50 million revolver that
expires in 2019 (about $6 million of LCs outstanding at August 3,
2014), and Moody's do not expect any borrowings under the
facility. The company is subject to springing leverage and fixed
charge coverage covenants that will be tested only if borrowings
and LCs meet a certain threshold.

D&B's ratings could be upgraded if the company maintains positive
same store sales growth, maintains good returns on new store
openings, and is able to sustain debt/EBITDA below 5.0 times and
EBITA/cash interest expense above 2.25 times. Ratings could be
downgraded if D&B's operating results or liquidity weakened, if
the company experiences a period of negative same store sales
growth, or if debt/EBITDA rises to above 6.0 times or
EBITA/interest expense dropped below 1.5 times. Independent of a
change to the Corporate Family Rating, the ratings on the bank
debt could be downgraded if the company were to increase the
amount of senior secured debt as a percentage of the capital
structure.

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

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Dave & Buster's, Inc. is a leading
operator of large format, high volume specialty restaurant-
entertainment complexes. The company operates under the Dave &
Buster's and Dave & Buster's Grand Sports Caf' brand names and as
of September 26, 2014, owns 70 stores in 27 states and Canada.
Revenues for the last twelve months ended August 3, 2014 were
approximately $690 million. On October 16, 2014, Dave & Buster's,
Inc. became a public company following a successful IPO. Post-IPO
Oak Hill Capital Partners controls about 80% of the company. Dave
& Buster's is listed on the NASDAQ exchange under "PLAY".


DETROIT DEVELOPMENT: Fitch Affirms BB Rating on 1998C Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed its ratings on the following Detroit
Downtown Development Authority, Michigan (the DDA) bonds:

-- $44,525,000 tax increment refunding bonds (Development Area No.
   1 projects), series 1998A, at 'BB+';

-- $16,055,000 tax increment bonds (Development Area No. 1
   projects), series 1998B (taxable), at 'BB+';

-- $3,310,000 tax increment bonds (Development Area No. 1
   projects), series 1998C (junior lien), at 'BB'.

The Outlook is Stable.

Security

Bonds are secured by a pledge of tax increment revenues captured
by Development Area No. 1 net of those captured for school
district purposes (school capture). The bonds are additionally
secured by cash-funded debt service reserves.

Key Rating Drivers

Limited Margins: The below investment-grade ratings reflect thin
coverage from a source of pledged revenue that has declined
significantly in the past few fiscal years.

DDA Adequately Insulated From Detroit: Fitch believes that the DDA
is adequately insulated from Detroit's bankruptcy filing and
recent defaults. The city's bankruptcy plan of adjustment does not
include DDA debt, respecting the definition of special revenues
under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

High Taxpayer Concentration: The district encompasses the core of
downtown Detroit, including many key commercial assets. General
Motors Co. (GM) represents a very high 22% of taxable value (TV)
for fiscal 2014, and the top 10 taxpayers, representing 49% of the
total, are largely related to the automobile industry.

Exceptionally Weak Economic Indicators: The city's income,
employment, and demographic indicators continue to be among the
weakest in the U.S. Many recent data points indicate continued
erosion.

Improved Auto Manufacturing Prospects: The health of the U.S.
automobile industry continues to improve, as evidenced by Fitch's
Positive Outlooks on the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of both GM
and Ford Motor Co. (Ford).

Rating Sensitivities

Change In Tax Base: Fitch expects that captured value (CV) will
stabilize, since large appeals have been settled, but a
significant change in either direction could affect the rating.

Interruption Of Tax Increment Revenue Flow: The rating would be
downgraded should the city or county delay property tax payments
to the DDA.

Debt Service Reserve Funding: The ratings assume that the cash-
funded debt service reserve fund (DSRF) will remain available to
compensate for potential pledged revenue declines over the period
leading up to the planned junior lien defeasance. A change to a
surety-funded DSRF without a defeasance would result in a
downgrade of the outstanding ratings.

Credit Profile

The DDA was formed in 1976 to promote economic development in
downtown Detroit. Development Area No. 1 comprises 615 acres,
roughly coterminous with the downtown business district and
represents about 7% of the city's TV. In addition to the GM-owned
Renaissance Center, the district includes one of the city's three
casinos, stadiums for the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers, and
development along the city's waterfront. Captured value is a
moderate 131% of the base, exposing pledged revenue to a large
degree of volatility for a given decline in TV absent a change in
tax rates.

Weak Coverage From Pledged Revenues

Coverage from pledged revenue remains very thin at an estimated
1.17x for senior lien MADS and 1.06x for combined senior and
subordinate MADS in fiscal 2014. Pledged revenue has declined a
cumulative 19% since fiscal 2011, largely due to an appeal by GM,
which has been settled. Fitch does not expect CV or pledged
revenue to decline at the same pace, but incorporates into the
rating the potential for modest further erosion. The majority of
the DDA's tax increment revenues are remitted by the city with a
smaller portion passing through from the county.

Tax Base Concentration And Weak Economic Environment

The rating reflects the project area's high tax base
concentration, with the 10 largest taxpayers making up 49% of
captured value in 2012. In addition to GM at 22%, several
taxpayers are office buildings that rely for occupancy to some
extent on the auto industry. Prospects for the industry have
improved. Fitch's IDRs for both GM (at 'BB+') and Ford ('BBB-')
have a Positive Outlook. Additional private residential and
commercial development, including a trolley connection to Wayne
State University and construction of an events center and
surrounding mixed-use facilities by Olympia Development, may
benefit the tax base.

The city's economic indicators continue to be exceptionally weak
despite apparent auto industry improvement, including an
unemployment rate of 17.7% in July 2014. The decline from 19.1% in
July 2013 was driven primarily by labor-force loss. Already very
weak city income and poverty figures are worsening; both per
capita and median household income are declining while the
nation's improves slightly. After a 25% drop in population from
2000-2010, recent estimates indicate a further decline of 3.5% to
688,701 in 2012.

DDA Adequately Insulated From Detroit Bankruptcy

The DDA is a public authority, created by the city and governed by
a Mayor- and council-appointed board. As the DDA is a separate
entity, Fitch's rating assumes no direct connection between the
city and the DDA as it relates to a default or bankruptcy by the
city. In addition, the city's bankruptcy plan of adjustment does
not include DDA debt, and respects the definition of special
revenues under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Property tax
payments continue to be remitted to the DDA from the city as
scheduled.

A long-standing $33.6 million loan to the city from the DDA was
included in the city emergency manager's proposal as unsecured
debt and is not expected to be repaid. Prior to the city's
bankruptcy the DDA prudently reserved against the full value of
the loan. Fitch believes that this accounting adequately insulates
the DDA's finances from a city loan default.

Anticipated Debt Redemption Does Not Alter Senior Lien Credit
Quality

The DDA is planning in the near future to increase both debt and
pledged revenues to provide funds for the construction of an
events center within Development Area No. 1. The debt will be
issued by the Michigan Strategic Fund under a newly created
indenture, and will be subordinate to outstanding debt. The DDA
expects to defease about $11 million in senior lien debt with a
combination of cash on hand and reserve fund releases, and to
close the existing indenture to new issuance. Outstanding junior
lien debt would be defeased in its entirety.

The defeasance would increase senior lien MADS coverage only
slightly. Coverage is already close to the minimum required to
issue new debt under the additional bonds test (ABT). Thus, in
Fitch's view the closure of the lien, while generally a credit
positive, has minimal impact on credit quality in this case. Any
incremental benefit from the defeasance and lien closure is offset
by the planned replacement of a cash-funded DSRF at the maximum
allowable by the IRS with a surety.

Personal Property Tax Exemption Not Material

Voters approved state legislation in August 2014 that exempts
eligible industrial and commercial property from taxation. About
16% of the DDA's taxable property is classified as personal.
However, the law requires the legislature to appropriate an amount
equal to the loss for certain types of districts, including tax
increment finance authorities such as the DDA. Therefore Fitch
does not expect the legislation to affect pledged revenue.

ENDEAVOUR INT'L: NYSE Mulls Delisting Amid Bankruptcy Filing
------------------------------------------------------------
Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END) (LSE: ENDV) was
notified by the New York Stock Exchange on October 13, 2014, that
the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. has determined to commence
proceedings to delist the common stock of Endeavour from the NYSE.
Trading of Endeavour's common stock was suspended immediately.

NYSE Regulation has determined that Endeavour is no longer
suitable for listing. Pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual
("LCM") Section 802.01D, this decision was reached in view of
Endeavour's October 10, 2014 announcement that it and certain of
its subsidiaries have each filed a voluntary petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. It is expected that
all of Endeavour's existing equity securities, including its
shares of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, will be
cancelled, without receiving any distribution.

In addition, Endeavour had previously fallen below the NYSE's
continued listing standard in Section 802.01B of the LCM which
requires the Company to maintain either (i) an average global
market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of
not less than $50,000,000 or (ii) stockholders' equity of not less
than $50,000,000. Furthermore, Endeavour is also below the NYSE's
continued listing standard in Section 802.01C of the LCM requiring
listed companies to maintain an average closing price per share of
not less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

Endeavour has a right to a review of this determination by a
Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation. The NYSE
will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the
common stock upon completion of all applicable procedures,
including any appeal by Endeavour of the NYSE Regulation staff's
decision.

FERROUS MINER: Receiver Wants Chapter 11 Cases Dismissed
--------------------------------------------------------
Carl F. Jenkins, in his capacity as the court-appointed receiver
of the assets and interests of Ferrous Miner Holdings, Ltd., and
Global NAPs, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware to dismiss the companies' Chapter 11 cases, saying the
filings are nothing more than an abuse of the bankruptcy process
aimed at doing an end-run around the pending receivership
proceeding and its sale and claims process.

According to the Receiver, the commencement of the bankruptcy
cases is the latest effort of the Debtors' former principal, Frank
Gangi, to thwart the orderly wind-down of the Debtors and numerous
related companies in proceedings that have been pending for years
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and
which now stand near completion.  Mr. Gangi, who no longer
controls the Debtors or their various subsidiaries and has no
lawful authority to act on their behalf, filed the bankruptcy
cases in an inappropriate attempt to stay certain hearings that
had been scheduled for Oct. 15, 2014, in the Massachusetts
District Court, and a court-supervised sale hearing scheduled for
Oct. 22, the Receiver tells the Bankruptcy Court.

The Receiver also points out that the filing of the bankruptcy
petitions was unaccompanied by any schedules, requests for relief,
proposed plan or even a declaration that explains to the
Bankruptcy Court why the cases were filed and what the alleged
debtors hope to achieve by the bankruptcy cases.

Verizon New England Inc., the largest creditor in each of the
bankruptcy cases, joins in the Receiver's request for dismissal of
the Chapter 11 cases, saying Mr. Gangi's documented dishonesty,
deliberate destruction of financial records, fraudulent transfer
and concealment of assets, and disrespect of the judicial process
has resulted in multiple violations of court orders, court
sanctions, and an extended liquidation of the assets of the
Debtors and their affiliates.

A hearing to consider approval of the dismissal motion is
scheduled for Oct. 21, 2014, at 11:30 a.m. (ET).

The Receiver also asks the Bankruptcy Court to shorten time for
notice and response to which the Debtors objected, arguing that
the Receiver seeks case dispositive -- and case terminative --
relief while providing the Debtors and other parties-in-interest
just one business day to respond prior to the Receiver's self-
selected hearing date.  The Debtors tell the Bankruptcy Court that
the Receiver's intentions are to prevent the Debtors and other
parties-in-interest from learning of the Receiver's own
transgression in the action pending before the District Court.

EdgeConneX Atlanta Holdings, LLC, the contract purchaser of real
property located at 1003 Donnelly Avenue, in Atlanta, Georgia,
joins in the Receiver's motion to shorten time, saying that any
delay in the consideration of the Sale Motion will significantly
prejudice EdgeConneX, which agreed, pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, to acquire the Property with the expectation that the
sale would close this week.

Ferrous Miner Holdings, Ltd., and Global NAPs, Inc., sought
Chapter 11 protection in Delaware (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos.
14-12343 and 14-12344) on Oct. 14, 2014, without stating a reason.

Ferrous Miner and Global NAPs each estimated $10 million to $50
million in assets and $50 million to $100 million in debt.

The list of 20 largest unsecured claims against Ferrous Miner
includes a $35.7 million claim by Verizon New England Inc. on
account of a judgment and a $5.2 million claim by Southern New
England Telephone Company also on account of a judgment.  Ferrous
Miner says it cannot verify the accuracy of the amounts claimed by
creditor as the supporting information remains in the receiver's
sole possession.

The Debtors are represented by Michael Jason Barrie, Esq., at
Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP.

Frank T. Gangi, the sole director and 100% owner of the Debtors,
signed the bankruptcy petitions.


GENON ENERGY: S&P Cuts Credit Rating to 'B-'; Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered the corporate credit
ratings on GenOn Energy Inc. and its affiliates to 'B-' from 'B'.
The outlook is stable.  The rating action follows a reassessment
of the level of support that parent NRG would likely extend to
GenOn even as its financial measures weaken.  The 'B' issue rating
on the $1.95 billion of unsecured notes at GenOn Energy were not
affected because of a revision in the recovery rating on this debt
to '2' from '4'.  Similarly, the 'B+' issue rating on the $641
million of pass-through certificates ($417 million outstanding) at
REMA were not affected based on a revision in the recovery rating
on this debt to '1' from '2'.  At the same time, S&P lowered the
issue ratings on the $770 million of pass through certificates
($707 million outstanding) at GenMA and the unsecured notes at
GenAM to 'B' from 'BB-' based on a revision of the recovery
ratings on this debt to '2' from '1'.

"While we note the headwinds in the merchant power sector that are
resulting in continuing pressure on cash flow, the stable outlook
on GenOn reflects its highly hedged base-load generation through
2015, and cash flows associated with those hedges that support
ratings at this level," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Aneesh Prabhu.

The company also has substantial cash balances, which S&P does not
expect to be drawn down materially because the ratings agency
expects GenOn to generate positive cash flow through 2015.  In the
interim, capacity markets in the PJM have been strengthening and
could underpin GenOn's margins.

In earlier reports, S&P has noted that GenOn's stand-alone credit
profile (SACP) is 'b-', but S&P applied a one-notch enhancement
under its group rating methodology that reflects S&P's opinion
that GenOn was "moderately strategic" to parent NRG Energy.  S&P
based its opinion on the fact that NRG has integrated GenOn's
power units into its fleet, operates them as part of its aggregate
fleet, and also extends support to GenOn financially through a
revolver facility.  Still, S&P had noted that NRG acquired GenOn
through a project subsidiary structure, meaning that NRG has the
option to walk away should GenOn's weakening economic viability
not warrant supporting it.  S&P is now of the view that NRG is
unlikely to extend GenOn additional support.  S&P now assess GenOn
purely on the merits of its stand-alone credit profile (SACP),
with no enhancement, resulting in the rating revision.

While GenOn's stand-alone business risk profile remains "weak"
under S&P's criteria, it has weakened further due to shifting
pricing differentials that have caused power prices to decline
more.  Increasingly stringent environment regulations also pose a
near-term challenge.

S&P considers GenOn's stand-alone liquidity "adequate" under its
criteria, reflecting S&P's expectation that available liquidity is
sufficient to cover known needs for at least the next year.

GenOn's downside risks stem from the backwardated cash flow
profile as hedges fall away in 2016 under the prevailing forward
prices.  S&P expects GenOn to be disproportionately affected
relative to peers as the loss in dark spreads is not offset by
increasing spark spreads, or an expansion in market heat rates.
S&P would consider lowering the ratings if GenOn's adjusted FFO-
to-debt ratio declined below 4%, which S&P believes could happen
as early as the first half 2016.  Pending environmental rules and
several expected plant closures add to the company's challenges.
S&P's downside scenario incorporates the risk that debt servicing
at GenMA could face further challenges if environmental
regulations cause the shuttering of two of its coal-fired assets.

An upgrade, currently not under consideration, could occur if a
rebound in capacity markets auctions supports the operations of
its coal plants, or if environmental regulations are not as
stringent as S&P expects.  S&P would raise the ratings if GenOn is
able to maintain an adjusted FFO-to-debt ratio of above 7%.  In
particular, S&P will monitor the result of the May 2015
reliability pricing model auction and how final environmental
regulations in Maryland, expected in the first quarter of 2015,
affect GenMA's ability to service its obligations.


GGW BRANDS: Settles with 'Hottest Girl in America'
--------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
lawyers who are settling old legal disputes involving Girls Gone
Wild have reached a deal with Chelsea Heath -- the company?s
Hottest Girl in America 2010 -- over thousands of dollars in prize
money that she was never paid.  According to the report, Ms. Heath
won $5,000 and was supposed to get $1,000 for the next 12 months,
said her lawyers in a complaint that was filed to the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles.  But after the company made
several payments, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis abruptly
terminated her employment, the Journal said.

                         About GGW Brands

Santa Monica, California-based GGW Brands, LLC, the company behind
the "Gils Gone Wild" video, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
C.D. Cal. Case No. 13-15130) on Feb. 27, 2013.  Judge Sandra R.
Klein oversees the case.  The company is represented by the Law
Offices of Robert M. Yaspan.  The company disclosed $0 to $50,000
in estimated assets and $10 million to $50 million in estimated
liabilities in its petition.

Affiliates GGW Events LLC, GGW Direct LLC and GGW Magazine LLC
also sought Chapter 11 protection.

GGW Marketing, LLC, another affiliate, filed a voluntary Chapter
11 petition on May 22, 2013, before the Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California (Los Angeles). The case is assigned
Case No. 13-23452.  Martin R. Barash, Esq., and Matthew Heyn,
Esq., at Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff and Stern, LLP, in Los Angeles,
California, represent GGW Marketing.

In April 2013, R. Todd Neilson, an ex-FBI agent, was appointed as
Chapter 11 Trustee to take over the companies.  Mr. Neilson has
investigated failed solar-power company Solyndra and was involved
in the Mike Tyson and Death Row Records bankruptcy cases.  He is
represented by David M Stern, Esq., Jonathan Mark Weiss, Esq., and
Robert J Pfister, Esq., at Klee Tuchin Bogdonaff and Stern LLP.

In April 2014, the Chapter 11 Trustee sold the "Girls Gone Wild"
video franchise and its assets for $1.83 million.  An auction set
earlier that month was canceled because there were no bids to
compete with the so-called stalking horse, who isn't affiliated
with founder Joe Francis.


GT ADVANCED: Key Hearing Today on Request to Seal Docs
------------------------------------------------------
Kelsey Butler, writing for The Deal, reported that U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Henry J. Boroff will convene a hearing today to determine
whether key documents outlining GT Advanced Technologies Inc.'s
reasons for filing can be released to the public.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, Apple
Inc., strongly objects to the disclosure of the documents to the
public and its confidentiality agreement with GT Advanced will
likely impose millions of penalties on the supplier per violation.
According to The Deal, Apple has continued to request certain
documents be submitted out of the public's view, saying that the
basis of its objection involves "confidential research,
development or commercial information regarding Apple's business
processes" and thus could be shielded from the public.

against GT Advanced Technologies Inc. in the U.S. District Court
for the District of New Hampshire on behalf of a class comprising
purchasers of GT Advanced securities between Nov. 5, 2013, and
Oct. 6, 2014, inclusive.

The complaint alleges that defendants made false and misleading
statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the
Debtor's operations and financial prospects.  Specifically,
defendants misled investors that there were significant risks that
the Debtor would be unable to fulfill the requirements of an
agreement with Apple, Inc., to supply sapphire material; and that,
as a result the Debtor was facing a liquidity crisis.

On Sept. 9, 2014, Apple revealed that its new iPhone 6 and iPhone
6 Plus smartphones utilized Corning's Gorilla Glass for the
display instead of GT Advanced's sapphire material as investors
were expecting.  On this news, shares of GT Advanced declined
$2.29 per share, nearly 13%, to close on Sept. 9, 2014, at 14.94
per share, on unusually heavy volume.

Members of the Class may move the Court no later than Dec. 8,
2014, to serve as lead plaintiff, if you meet certain legal
requirements.

HOWREY LLP: McGrane Firm Must Disgorge $30,700 in Fees
------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali said McGrane LLP has violated
relevant rules governing professional conduct and has breached the
fiduciary duty to its former client, the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors in the case of Howrey LLP.  Judge Montali,
therefore, denied the firm's request for fees in the amount of
$46,325.  The Cour, however, allowed the firm's fees in the amount
of $32,355 and costs in the amount of $877.05, and directed the
firm to disgorge $30,693.59.

McGrane LLP and its principal, William McGrane, Esq., served as
co-counsel for the Committee.   The Master Summary filed together
with the firm's final fee application seeks approval of fees in
the amount of $78,680 and costs in the amount of $877.05.
According to Part VII(B) of the Final Fee App, the firm has
received a $63,925.64 payment, and seeks an additional
compensation in the amount of $15,631.41.

                         About Howrey LLP

Three creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 7 petition (Bankr.
N.D. Cal. Case No. 11-31376) on April 11, 2011, against the
remnants of the Washington-based law firm Howrey LLP.  The filing
was in San Francisco, where the firm had an office.  The firm
previously was known as Howrey & Simon and Howrey Simon Arnold &
White LLP.  The firm at one time had more than 700 lawyers in 17
offices.  The partners voted to dissolve in March 2011.

The firm specialized in antitrust and intellectual-property
matters.  The three creditors filing the involuntary petition
together have $36,600 in claims, according to their petition.

The involuntary chapter 7 petition was converted to a chapter 11
case in June 2011 at the request of the firm.  In its schedules
filed in July, the Debtor disclosed assets of $138.7 million and
liabilities of $107.0 million.

Representing Citibank, the firm's largest creditor, is Kelley
Cornish, Esq., a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &
Garrison.  Representing Howrey is H. Jason Gold, Esq., a partner
at Wiley Rein.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is represented in
the case by Bradford F. Englander, Esq., at Whiteford, Taylor And
Preston LLP.

In September 2011, Citibank sought conversion of the Debtor's case
to Chapter 7 or, in the alternative, appointment of a Chapter 11
Trustee.  The Court entered an order appointing a Chapter 11
Trustee. In October 2011, Allan B. Diamond was named as Trustee.
He is represented by Andrew Baxter Ryan, Esq., and Stephen Todd

LATEX FOAM: Proposes to Pay $115K to Key Employees
--------------------------------------------------
Latex Foam International, LLC, et al., ask the Bankruptcy Court
to approve the key employee retention program for certain non-
insider employees; and authorize payments.

The Debtors relate that aside from operational matters, the
management team has also dealt with the financial ramifications of
the fire, which has had a significant impact on the Debtors' cash
flow.  Negotiations with the Debtors' insurance carriers, had
resulted in interim payments of $7.1 million to the estates.

The Debtor has identified four non-insider employees with
institutional knowledge and skills essential to maximizing the
value of the Debtors' estates during the sale or reorganization
process.  The KERP provides retention payments for the employees.
Their positions are director of manufacturing, director of
engineering, director of continuous improvement, and director of
customer services.

Each KERP payment will equal 5 percent of the individual's annual
salary, to be paid quarterly for five quarters commencing Dec. 31,
2014, and terminating Dec. 31, 2015.  The aggregate of each
quarterly payment will be $23,050, and the aggregate cost of the
KERP program will be $115,250.

Each employee must be an employee of LFI at the end of each
quarter commencing Dec. 31, 2014, in order to qualify for the
retention bonus.  In the event of a sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of LFI, such employees will be entitled to the
pro rata portion of the KERP payment earned for such quarter up
until the date of the closing of the sale so long as such Employee
remains employed at the time of such closing.

LIBERTY TOWERS: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for Nov. 21
------------------------------------------------------------
A meeting of creditors in the bankruptcy case of Liberty Towers
Realty LLC will be held on Nov. 21, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. at Room
2579, 271-C Cadman Plaza East, in Brooklyn, New York.

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.

Liberty Towers Realty LLC sought bankruptcy protection in
Brooklyn, New York (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No. 14-45187) on Oct. 15,
2014, just three years after the dismissal of its previous Chapter
11 case.  The petition was signed by Toby Luria as member.  The
Debtor estimated assets and debts of $10 million to $50 million.
The Carlebach Law Group serves as the Debtor's counsel.

Liberty Towers' case was initially assigned to Judge Carla E.
Craig but has been reassigned to Judge Elizabeth S. Stong due to
Liberty's previous bankruptcy case (Case 11-42589).  The previous
case was dismissed July 27, 2011.

Related entity Liberty Towers Realty I, LLC, also sought
bankruptcy protection (Case No. 14-45189) on Oct. 15.

MCCLATCHY CO: Bestinver Gestion Holds 14.9% of Class A Shares
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bestinver Gestion S.A., SGIIC, disclosed in an amended Schedule
13G filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
Oct. 7, 2014, that it beneficially owned 9,309,272 shares of The
McClatchy Company Class A common stock representing 14.98% of the
shares outstanding.  A copy of the regulatory filing is available
for free at http://is.gd/YSxPyG

                   About The McClatchy Company

Sacramento, Cal.-based The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI)
-- http://www.mcclatchy.com/-- is the third largest newspaper
company in the United States, publishing 30 daily newspapers, 43
non-dailies, and direct marketing and direct mail operations.
McClatchy also operates leading local Web sites in each of its
markets which extend its audience reach.  The Web sites offer
users comprehensive news and information, advertising, e-commerce
and other services.  Together with its newspapers and direct
marketing products, these interactive operations make McClatchy
the leading local media company in each of its premium high growth
markets.  McClatchy-owned newspapers include The Miami Herald, The
Sacramento Bee, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Kansas City
Star, The Charlotte Observer, and The News & Observer (Raleigh).

The Company reported net income of $18.80 million for the year
ended Dec. 29, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $144,000 for
the year ended Dec. 30, 2012.

The Company's balance sheet at June 29, 2014, showed $2.68 billion
in total assets, $2.36 billion in total liabilities and $318.93
million in stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

McClatchy carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating from Moody's
Investors Service.  In May 2011, Moody's changed the rating
outlook from stable to positive following the company's
announcement that it closed on the sale of land in Miami for
$236 million.  The outlook change reflects Moody's expectation
that McClatchy will utilize the net proceeds to reduce debt,
including its underfunded pension position, which will reduce
leverage by approximately half a turn and lower required
contributions to the pension plan over the next few years.

McClatchy Co. carries a 'B-' Corporate Credit Rating from
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.

As reported by the TCR on April 2, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services affirmed all ratings on U.S. newspaper company The
McClatchy Co., including the 'B-' corporate credit rating, and
revised the rating outlook to stable from positive.  The outlook
revision to stable reflects S&P's expectation that the
timeframe for a potential upgrade lies beyond the next 12 months,
and could also depend on the company realizing value from its
digital minority interests.

MINUTEMAN SPILL RESPONSE: Sues Attorney General for Defamation
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Daily Item reports that Minuteman Spill Response, Inc.
president Brian Bolus has filed a $20 million federal lawsuit
against the state attorney general's office, claiming that the
Company was targeted and his accounts unlawfully and
unconstitutionally frozen.

According to The Daily Item, Mr. Bolus accused the attorney
general's office of damaging his business.

Mr. Bolus complained that agents from the attorney general's
office raided his home and froze his family accounts without
merit, The Daily Item relates.  State officials also froze his
investments and property, the report adds, citing Mr. Bolus.
Mr. Bolus, says the report, was the focus of a 20-month probe by a
statewide grand jury in June.  Attorney General Kathleen Kane
filed charges against Mr. Bolus and several of his relatives on
alleged illegal dumping and multiple conspiracies to commit
insurance fraud, the report states.

Mr. Bolus said that before the May 2013 raid of the Company, he
had an outstanding reputation and a number of major companies
demanding his service and signing contracts, The Daily Item
reports.  Mr. Bolus also claimed to have made $49 million between
2010 and 2013, The Daily Item says.

Minuteman Spill Response, Inc., a trucking company based in
Milton, Pennsylvania, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. M.D.

The Company estimated $1 million to $10 million in both assets and
liabilities.  The petition was signed by Brian J. Bolus,
president.

                      About Mission NewEnergy

Based in Subiaco, Western Australia, Mission NewEnergy Limited is
a producer of biodiesel that integrates sustainable biodiesel
feedstock cultivation, biodiesel production and wholesale
biodiesel distribution focused on the government mandated markets
of the United States and Europe.

The Company is not operating its biodiesel refining segment.  The
refineries are being held in care and maintenance either awaiting
a return to positive operating conditions or the sale of assets.

The Company has materially diminished its Jatropha contract
farming operation and the company is now focused on divesting the
remaining Indian assets.  The Company intends to cease all Indian
operations.

Mission NewEnergy reported a net loss of $1.09 million on $9.68
million of total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2014,
compared to net income of $10.05 million on $8.41 million of total
revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $4.04 million
in total assets, $15.40 million in total liabilities and a $11.35
million total deficiency.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, in Perth, Western Australia, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company incurred operating cash outflows
of $3.7 million during the year ended 30 June 2013 and, as of that
date the consolidated entity's total liability exceeded its total
assets by $12.5 million.  These conditions, along with other
matters, raise substantial doubt the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.


MP-TECH AMERICA: Seeks Case Dismissal, Distribution of Funds
------------------------------------------------------------
MP-Tech America, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss its
Chapter 11 case, and authorize the final distribution of the
remaining funds held by the estate.

The Debtor proposes that from the available proceeds, to pay (i) a
portion of 70% of the unpaid administrative expenses of the
Debtor's counsel, local counsel in pursuing the Avoidance Actions
from May 15, 2013, until Sept. 30, 2014 and the Unsecured
Creditors Committee counsel and 100% of their unpaid out-of-pocket
expenses; (ii) 100% of their unpaid balance of accrued fees from
the beginning of the case until the filing of the application; and
(iii) retain the remaining funds as the Debtor's counsel endeavors
to collect the outstanding and pending default judgments.

The Debtor also proposes a six month period to collect existing
default judgments during which period the Court will retain
jurisdiction solely for the purpose of implementing the dismissal
order or resolving any issues with regard to collection of the
default judgments.

On March 31, 2015, or six months from the date of this motion, the
Debtor proposes to make a final distribution of all remaining
funds to pay outstanding administrative fees, and out-of-pocket
expenses and unsecured claims if funds are available after all
efforts have been exhausted seeking to collect the default
judgments.

NATIONAL AIR: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
--------------------------------------------------------
National Air Cargo, Inc., has filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York.

National Air Cargo Holdings, Inc., National Airlines and National
Air Cargo Holdings, Inc.'s other global subsidiary companies are
not parties to and have nothing to do with the bankruptcy filed by
NAC Inc., a New York corporation.

In October 2013, a U.S. District Court entered a judgment against
NAC.  The case was filed by start-up Global BTG in 2010, and
alleged that NAC breached a Letter of Intent by failing to finance
aircraft leases through Global BTG.  NAC continues to contend
there was no enforceable agreement and there was no breach.  NAC
has an appeal pending at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit.

Filing bankruptcy allows NAC to continue business without the
immediate threat of Global BTG's judgment, and therefore permits
NAC to continue serving its clients, making payments to all of its
business partners, and employing its valued team members in the
Orchard Park New York and Herndon Virginia areas.

NAC CEO Christopher Alf explained, "We have appealed the
unjustified and unexpected verdict in the case brought by Global
BTG in 2010, but unfortunately that appeal will not be decided for
some time.  We believe we will be victorious in the appeal.
Seeking Chapter 11 relief will permit NAC Inc. to serve its
customers while reorganizing NAC Inc.'s financial situation caused
by this one off event.  Our focus at this time is to continue to
offer the same high level of service our customers expect and rely
on."

NAC Managing Director Mark Burgess said his team in Orchard Park
"is committed to continuing uninterrupted diligent hard work in
routing challenging cargo to locations around the globe.  My team
gives 110% every day, that won't change.  We'll move cargo --
whether it's lifesaving medical equipment or mission critical
aircraft parts -- it's what we do best."

Brian Conaway, Vice President of Finance for the parent company,
National Air Cargo Holdings, Inc., added, "We remain committed to
performing under all our contracts and growing our business."

NORANDA OPERATING: DBRS Confirms 'BB(high)' Rating on Sec. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Inc. has confirmed the BB (high) rating with a Stable trend
on the Senior Secured Notes of Noranda Operating Trust (the
Trust).  The Trust remains a well-established and currently
profitable processor of zinc concentrates strategically located to
serve North American zinc metal markets, but is highly dependent
on a zinc concentrate supply and processing agreement (Supply and
Processing Agreement) with Glencore Canada Corporation (Glencore
Canada) that ends its initial term in May 2017.

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

The Trust, under the Supply and Processing Agreement, generates a
low-risk stream of earnings largely insulated from volatile zinc
prices with its raw material (concentrate) purchase costs linked
to its revenue.  Although the Trust has invested significant
capital to maintain and enhance the operating capabilities of its
zinc processing facility (CEZinc), the economic viability of
CEZinc post-May 2017 is uncertain as it will need to replace (or
continue) the Supply and Processing Agreement in a market that is
currently in oversupply and with low zinc processing charges.

Zinc concentrate processing levels returned to normal levels in
2011 following a marked reduction in 2009/2010 due to operating
issues, yielding net revenues of about $300 million per year and
about a 40% margin before selling, depreciation and other costs in
the 2011 to 2013 period.  Operating income improved throughout the
period, but higher unit costs in the first half of 2014 (H1 2014)
shrank margins to 32% and sharply reduced income.

Largely steady operations and reduced distributions have resulted
in dramatically reduced indebtedness since 2009, currently
standing at $59.6 million, although debt increased in the first
half of 2014 due to unexpectedly high costs.  The Trust's coverage
credit metrics weakened in H1 2014 despite lower debt although
they remain adequate for the rating.

Despite the issues confronted in H1 2014, DBRS expects better
earnings and operating cash flow for the Trust in H2 2014, but
given the uncertainty around the source of concentrates, earnings
and cash flow are expected to be lower and more variable than
historically.  Higher raw material acquisition costs remain a
concern due to variable feed sources.  DBRS's outlook also assumes
no processing interruption occurs due to expiration of the current
labour contact in the third quarter of 2014.

With steady operating performance, DBRS expects the Trust's Senior
Secured Notes will be fully repaid by the end of 2016.  In
addition to its indebtedness, the Trust's remediation liability
estimate has increased and legislated security requirements are
scheduled to increase by $22.4 million over the next two years.
In order to maintain liquidity to fund any potential remediation
needs post May 2017, DBRS expects the Trust to be judicious in its
distribution levels.


NOVA CHEMICALS: Fitch Rates $500MM Sr. Unsecured Notes 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to NOVA Chemicals
Corporation's $500 million privately placed senior unsecured
notes. Proceeds from the offering will used to redeem the existing
$350 million senior unsecured notes due 2019 on Nov. 3, 2014, with
the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes,
according to the company.

Key Rating Drivers

The ratings reflect NOVA's position as a low-cost ethylene
producer. NOVA benefits from low-cost feedstock at both its
Joffre, Alberta and Corunna, Ontario sites after converting the
Corunna cracker to accept light feedstock. The company is also
sourcing ethane directly from the Williston (for Joffre) and
Marcellus (for Corunna) basins. EBITDA margins have increased to
above 20% after being below 10% in 2009.

Fitch believes NOVA's financial management is conservative. NOVA
has reduced its debt balances since it was acquired by IPIC PJSC
('AA'/Stable Outlook) in 2009. Debt declined from $1.8 billion at
the end of 2009 and is expected to be approximately $1 billion
after accounting for the new issuance and repayment of the notes
due 2019. Leverage is strong as well, measuring 1.1x on a total
debt to operating EBITDA basis, and is expected to fall to 0.8x
after the other notes are called in November. While distributions
to IPIC and capital expenditures have been growing, NOVA has
produced meaningful positive free cash flow (FCF; cash from
operations less capital expenditures and dividends).

The company is in the midst of executing its NOVA 2020 plan which
includes transitioning the Corunna cracker to 100% light feedstock
and building another polyethylene reactor at Joffre which is
expected to be completed by the end of summer 2016. Capital
spending will peak in 2014 and 2015 for these projects, but Fitch
believes additional borrowings are not likely necessary given
strong cash generation and large cash balances.

Credit weaknesses include the company's lack of product
diversification. NOVA produces a variety of polyethylene products
(HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE) and grades but no other ethylene
derivatives. NOVA's competitors with other ethylene chains can
direct ethylene production to the highest margin intermediate- or
end-product. NOVA's products are also commoditized in nature. A
number of producers manufacture similar products.

Fitch acknowledges the cyclical nature of commodity chemicals.
NOVA is dependent upon plastic demand for revenue growth. Plastics
demand generally tracks global economic growth. With global
economic growth sluggish, growth in plastic demand has been less
than robust. While revenue growth has not been the driver of
NOVA's expanded EBITDA margins and growing EBITDA, Fitch believes
there is limited continued upside for costs. Supply dynamics of
the industry also influence plastic prices and margin realization.

The advantaged cost position for North American ethylene
production has spurred capacity expansion activity. North American
ethylene production could see up to 12.5 million tonnes of
additional annual capacity coming online by 2019. If fully
completed, these additions would correspond to over half of U.S.
capacity according to ICIS and would have the potential to reverse
the currently favorable environment. Typically, capacity additions
come in very sizeable increments and are often executed by
multiple industry participants at the same time. After these
additions have come online, it often takes several years to absorb
the resulting supply glut.

Liquidity

NOVA has sufficient liquidity to enable the company to fund
working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to
withstand less favorable industry conditions, if a reversal of the
positive dynamics were to occur. Accounting for the new issuance,
expected repayment of the senior unsecured notes due 2019, and the
$510 million distribution to the parent company in July, NOVA is
expected to have more than $800 million in total liquidity,
consisting of $329 million in cash on hand and $507 million
available under its syndicated and bilateral credit facilities.
Fitch projects marginal negative FCF in 2014 and 2015, but cash
balances will enable the company to fund the use of cash without
significant additional borrowings.

NOVA's main $425 million senior secured credit facility, which
matures in December 2017, is governed by a senior debt-to-cash-
flow covenant of max 3x and a debt-to-capitalization covenant of
max 60%. NOVA was in compliance with these covenants at June 30,
2014. Fitch expects the company to remain in compliance throughout
the lifetime of the facility. The facility is secured by the net
book value of assets in Canada, including NOVA's interest in the
Joffre, Alberta chemical complex and the Corunna, Ontario
facility.

The company has a favorable maturity schedule. After the repayment
of the senior unsecured notes due 2019, NOVA will not have any
large principal payments due until 2023. NOVA has three notes
outstanding, $350 million due 2019, $500 million due in 2023 and
$500 million due in 2025.

Rating Sensitivities

Positive: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to positive rating action include:

-- Continued progress in capital spending plans with limited need
   to add to debt levels;

-- Naming a full time CEO with a commensurate commitment to
   current strategies;

-- A sustained return to Fitch-calculated FCF generation following
   current capital expansion;

-- Hard credit support from IPIC.

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to negative rating action include:

-- A sustained return of adverse economic conditions and excess
   capacity for the chemical industry leading to weak sales and
   profits;

-- A sharp erosion of the company's feedstock advantage resulting
   in higher debt funding during the capex buildout period;

-- Expectations for prolonged meaningful negative FCF leading to
   debt levels where leverage is sustained around 3.0x on a total
   debt to EBITDA basis through the cycle;

-- Substantially increased distributions to IPIC funded by debt.

Fitch assigns the following rating:

-- $500 million privately placed senior unsecured notes rated
   'BB+'.

Fitch has the following ratings on NOVA:

-- Long-term IDR 'BB+';
-- Senior secured revolving credit facility 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured revolving credit facilities 'BB+';
-- Senior unsecured notes 'BB+'.

The Rating Outlook is Positive.

PLATFORM SPECIALTY: Moody's Puts B1 CFR on Review for Downgrade
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Platform Specialty
Products Corporation (Platform; B1 Corporate Family Rating) under
review for downgrade. The review was prompted by the company's
announcement that it entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire Arysta LifeScience SPC, LLC (Arysta) (B2 stable) for
approximately $3.51 billion. Preliminary details of the proposed
financing structure indicate that leverage will exceed 5x and may
remain elevated as management is contemplating additional
acquisitions. The Arysta transaction is expected to close in the
first half of 2015 and is subject to regulatory approvals and a
Platform shareholder vote.

The following summarizes the ratings under review for a downgrade:

Platform Specialty Products Corporation

  Corporate Family Rating -- B1

  Probability of Default -- B1-PD

MacDermid Inc.

  Senior Secured Revolver -- B1, LGD3

  Senior Secured Term Loan -- B1, LGD3

MacDermid Agricultural Solutions Holdings BV

  Senior Secured Term Loan -- B1, LGD3

Platform Specialty Products Corporation

  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating unchaged at SGL-2

Ratings Rationale

Platform's rating review is driven by Moody's concern that the
company's leverage will increase following the Arysta acquisition
despite the sizable equity contributions already completed and
planned for this transaction. The $3.51 billion consideration for
Arysta will consist of $2.91 billion in cash and $600 million of
new Series B convertible preferred stock. To finance the
acquisition, Platform has entered into a commitment letter for
$1.6 billion of senior secured term loans and $750 million of
unsecured bridge loans. Platform will significantly increase its
debt following the Arysta acquisition and leverage is likely to
rise above 5x exceeding management's previously stated net
leverage target of 4.5x. Arysta had sales of approximately $1.5
billion in the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and EBITDA of
$294 million, according to Platform.

The ratings review will consider expected changes to the company's
capital structure as Platform continues to pursue acquisitions at
a fairly rapid pace, including the refinancing of the bridge loan
and the potential for the additional issuance of equity. The
review will also examine potential synergies from the combination
of Chemtura AgroSolutions (CAS), Agriphar and Arysta, as well as
integration risks, which are significant as these three companies
combined are larger than Platform. Platform indicated that the
$3.51 billion purchase price for Arysta represents a multiple of
11.2x on expected 2014 EBITDA of $310 million before synergies;
after synergies the multiple drops to 9.3x. Platform expects to
realize approximately $65 million in synergies over three years
through the integration of Arysta.

Arysta is the third announced acquisition in the agricultural
chemicals sector for Platform since April 2014. Platform has
already bought Agriphar and is in the process of acquiring
Chemtura's AgroSolutions business. The three acquisitions would
increase Platform's revenue to approximately $3 billion and the
agricultural segment will represent 66% of pro forma revenue.
While the increase in overall firm size and diversity of earnings
and end-markets are credit positive, higher leverage and increased
integration risks are credit negatives. Furthermore, the rapid
pace of acquisitions to date as well as managements statements
that they continue to contemplate numerous other acquisitions in
the near-term pressure the rating.

Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Platform Specialty Products Corp
(Platform) is a publicly-traded company founded by investors
Martin Franklin and Nicolas Berggruen in 2013. Platform's first
acquisition in 2013 was MacDermid Holdings, LLC, a global
manufacturer of variety of chemicals and technical services for a
range of applications and markets including; metal and plastic
finishing, electronics, graphic arts, and offshore drilling. Pro
forma for the acquisitions, Platform's sales are roughly $2.9
billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 (LTM revenues of
$749 million from Platform's existing business and $467 million
from AgroSolutions as of June 30, 2014 as well as $171 million YE
2013 revenues from Agriphar and $1.5 billion YE 2013 for Arysta ).

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Chemical Industry Rating Methodology published in December 2013.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

QEP RESOURCES: S&P Revises Outlook to Stable & Affirms 'BB+' CCR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its rating
outlook on Denver-based QEP Energy Inc. to stable from negative
and affirmed all of its ratings, including the 'BB+' corporate
credit rating, on the company.

The rating action reflects the expected improvement in QEP's
credit protection measures due to the use of a portion of proceeds
from the sale of its midstream business to fund debt reduction and
capital spending.  The ratings on QEP reflect S&P's view of the
company's "fair" business risk and "intermediate" financial risk.

"We think QEP's credit protection measures will be adequate for
the ratings over the next 12 months as the company uses asset sale
proceeds to repay debt and fund capital spending," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Ben Tsocanos.

S&P would consider a downgrade if it expected the company's FFO to
debt to remain below 45% and debt to EBITDA to remain above 2x.
This could occur if QEP increases capital spending without
achieving significant production growth, especially in the context
of falling commodity prices.  This could also occur if the company
buys back significantly more stock than S&P anticipates.

S&P could consider an upgrade if QEP increases its oil and gas
reserves and production to a scale commensurate with higher-rated
peers without a significant deterioration in its operating costs
or capital structure.

SAMUEL WYLY: $300-Mil. SEC Charge Spurs Bankruptcy Filing
---------------------------------------------------------
Texas tycoon Samuel E. Wyly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 14-35043) on Oct. 19, just
weeks after a judge ordered him to pay several hundred million
dollars in a civil fraud case pursued by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Bankruptcy Judge Barbara Houser has set for Wednesday, Oct. 22,
2014, the initial hearing on Samuel Wyly's petition, Nate Raymond
and Joseph Ax at Reuters relates.

According to Reuters, Mr. Wyly said that he couldn't afford the
almost $300 million payment that U.S. regulators are demanding for
his role in a fraudulent offshore scheme.  In his petition, Mr.
Wyly estimated his assets and liabilities at between $100 million
and $500 million each.  Mr. Wyly said in the court filing that he
had spent $100 million in legal fees responding to investigations
from the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service.

Reuters relates that a jury found Mr. Wyly and his brother
Charles, who died in a 2011 car crash, liable for fraud in May
2014.  U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in New York then
ordered Mr. Wyly and the estate of his late brother Charles in
September to pay damages of $187.7 million plus interest to the
SEC.  The total, including interest, should be $299.4 million, the
report says, citing the SEC.

The SEC, says Reuters, accused the Wylys of building a complex
system of trusts in the Isle of Man that netted them $553 million
in untaxed profits through more than 10 years of hidden trades in
four firms -- Sterling Software Inc, Michaels Stores Inc, Sterling
Commerce Inc and Scottish Annuity & Life Holdings Ltd, now
Scottish Re Group Ltd. -- they controlled.

Reuters reports that the SEC wants to collect money still held in
the offshore trusts, but the Wylys' attorneys argue that those
$380 million in assets are controlled by the trusts'
beneficiaries, including the Wylys' children.  The SEC said in a
court filing last week that the trusts' assets are the property of
Samuel and Charles Wyly, and that the the SEC believes that the
defendants have sufficient global assets to pay any judgment.

Steven Shepard, Esq., is the attorney for Samuel Wyly, Reuters
relates.


SCOTTSDALE VENETIAN: Confirms Reorganization Plan
-------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Brenda K. Martin entered an order confirming
Scottsdale Venetian Village, LLC's Fourth Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated Feb.27, 2014, as amended.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 26, 2014,
the Debtor signed a deal that would resolve the objection of First
National Bank of Hutchinson to the Plan.  Under the deal,
Scottsdale and FNB agree that the bank's secured claims as of
Sept. 1 total $7,810,766.  The bank also agrees to withdraw its
objection and vote in favor of confirmation of the plan.

FNB holds secured claims against Scottsdale on account of the two
loans it extended to the company.  The first loan, which was
extended to Scottsdale in 2006, is secured by a lien against the
company's leasehold interest in a hotel in Arizona.  In 2012, FNB
made a second loan in the amount of $235,000 to pay the delinquent
real estate taxes on the property.

                       The Chapter 11 Plan

The Plan proposes to treat claims and interests as follows:

   -- First National Bank of Hutchinson will receive full payment
      with interest in the form of a promissory note that will
      mature and become fully due and payable on the 12th
      anniversary of the effective date of the Plan.

   -- Maricopa County's secured claims will be paid in full in
      installments.  If Maricopa County votes in favor of the
      Plan, it will receive a cash payment of $5,000 on the
      Effective Date that will be applied to outstanding real
      property taxes, with the balance to be paid in installments.

   -- Holders of allowed unsecured claims will be paid in full,
      with interest, in equal quarterly installments commencing
      on the Effective Date and concluding on the eight
      anniversary of the Effective Date.

   -- With respect to equity, if the purchase agreement is not
      consummated, the current interest holder(s) will retain
      their equity interests.  If the purchase agreement is
      consummated, the buyer will own all of the equity interests
      in the Reorganized Debtor.

across categories important to them.

The company operates through its subsidiaries, including Sears,
Roebuck and Co. and Kmart Corporation, with more than 2,000 full-
line and specialty retail stores in the United States and Canada.

Kmart Corporation and 37 of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Lead Case No. 02-02474) on
Jan. 22, 2002.  Kmart emerged from chapter 11 protection on May 6,
2003, pursuant to the terms of an Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization.  Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP,
represented Kmart in its restructuring efforts.  Its balance sheet
showed $16,287,000,000 in assets and $10,348,000,000 in debts when
it sought chapter 11 protection.

Kmart bought Sears, Roebuck & Co., for $11 billion to create the
third-largest U.S. retailer, behind Wal-Mart and Target, and
generate $55 billion in annual revenues.  Kmart completed its
merger with Sears on March 24, 2005.

Sears Holdings reported a net loss of $1.36 billion in 2013, a net

                            *     *     *

Moody's Investors Service in January 2014 downgraded Sears
Holdings Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3.  The rating
outlook is stable.

The downgrade reflects the accelerating negative performance of
Sears' domestic business with comparable sales falling 7.4% for
the quarter to date ending January 6th, 2014 compared to the prior
year.  The company now expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA to decline
to a range of ($80 million) to $20 million for the fourth fiscal
quarter, compared with $365 million in the year prior period. For
the full year, Sears expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA loss between
$(308) million and $(408) million, as compared to $557 million
last year. Moody's expects full year cash burn (after capital
spending, interest and pension funding) to be around $1.2 billion
in 2013 and we expect Sears' cash burn to remain well above $1
billion in 2014. "Operating performance for fiscal 2013 is
meaningfully weaker than our previous expectations, and we expect
negative trends in performance to persist into 2014" said Moody's
Vice President Scott Tuhy.  He added "While Sears noted improved
engagement metrics for its "Shop Your Way" Rewards program,
Moody's remains uncertain when these improved engagement metrics
will lead to stabilization of operating performance."

As reported by the TCR on March 26, 2014, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on the Hoffman Estate, Ill.-
based Sears Holdings Corp., including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating.

Partners (QEPM, unrated), for roughly $2.5 billion. The
transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014
subject to regulatory clearance and customary closing conditions.

"Tesoro Logistics' ratings affirmation reflects the increased
scale and asset diversity from the acquisition, which will
strengthen its stand alone credit profile," commented Arvinder
Saluja, Moody's Assistant Vice President. "However, Tesoro
Logistics faces execution risk in integrating the new acquisition,
which represents a step-out from its core business."

Ratings Rationale

The QEPFS acquisition will improve Tesoro Logistics' stand alone
credit profile, with its size and scale increasing to a level more
indicative of a Ba2 rating and its customer concentration with its
parent and general partner, Tesoro Corporation (Tesoro, Ba1
stable) reducing to about 50%.

However, TLLP is paying a high multiple relative to the
incremental EBITDA from the acquisition and faces execution risk
on successfully integrating QEPFS' natural gas gathering and
processing business, which are new to TLLP and outside of its core
business.

QEPFS's natural gas gathering and processing business is largely
fee-based, but faces higher levels of volume risk than TLLP's
existing business. Moody's expect QEP Resources to remain the
largest producer and counter party for QEPFS, and as such expect
TLLP to maintain proper risk management procedures not only with
QEP but also with other main customers, such as Ultra Petroleum,
EOG, and Questar.

Due to the high multiple being paid for the acquisition, Moody's
expect TLLP's financial leverage to initially increase, but to
drop below 4.5x debt/EBITDA on a consolidated pro forma basis by
the end of 2015. This is based on organic growth projects at both
TLLP standalone and QEPFS standalone, as well as increased natural
gas production volumes mainly in the Uinta and Vermillion areas.

Moody's continues to view TLLP as strategically important to its
parent, Tesoro. This is evidenced by Tesoro's commitment to invest
at least $350 million in the equity funding of the QEPFS
acquisition, the intention of Tesoro to limit TLLP's exposure to
direct commodity price risk under QEPFS' "keep whole" arrangements
with a commercial contract with TLLP, and the waiving of $10
million of general partner incentive distributions in 2015.
However, with the QEPFS acquisition, which will grow TLLP's non-
Tesoro revenue and increase TLLP's footprint beyond serving
Tesoro's refining and marketing business, the explicit level of
rating uplift to TLLP's rating will diminish.

Tesoro Logistics' Ba3 rated senior unsecured notes reflect both
the overall probability of default of the company, to which
Moody's assigns a Probability of Default Rating of Ba2-PD, and a
loss given default of LGD 4. The notes are rated one notch below
the Ba2 CFR, reflecting the contractual subordination of the notes
to Tesoro Logistics' revolving credit facility, which it expects
to upsize to $900 million as part of the QEPFS acquisition. The
unsecured notes have upstream guarantees from substantially all of
the company's subsidiaries.

Tesoro Logistics' stable rating outlook assumes that the company
will successfully integrate QEPFS, maintain adequate distribution
coverage (over 1x) and leverage under 4.5x.

Tesoro Logistics' ratings could be upgraded if the company is
successful in growing its size and scale while maintaining a
favorable business risk profile and sustaining lower financial
leverage (debt/EBITDA maintained at 4x or below).

Tesoro Logistics' ratings could be downgraded if debt/EBITDA were
to be sustained above 4.5x, which could occur because of execution
risks due to the acquisition, or if the company acquired a
significant amount of new assets with a weak business risk
profile. If Tesoro's credit quality were to materially decline,
this would also pressure Tesoro Logistics' ratings.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Midstream
Energy published in December 2010. Other methodologies used
include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Tesoro Logistics LP is a master limited partnership headquartered
in San Antonio, Texas.


TESORO LOGISTICS: S&P Affirms 'BB' Corp. Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'BB'
corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on San Antonio-
based master limited partnership Tesoro Logistics L.P. (TLLP).
The outlook is stable.  The stand-alone credit profile (SACP) is
also 'bb' and S&P views the partnership as moderately strategic to
its general partner, Tesoro Corp.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating to the
partnership's proposed senior unsecured notes due 2019 and 2022.
The partnership will use net proceeds from the notes to partly
fund the purchase of QEPFS, fully repay outstanding amounts under
the partnership's revolving credit facility, and for general
partnership purposes.  The recovery rating on the partnership's
senior unsecured debt is '4', indicating S&P's expectations of
average (30% to 50%) recovery if a payment default occurs.  S&P's
recovery expectations are in the upper half of the 30% to 50%
range.

"The rating action reflects our view that the transaction is
neutral for TLLP's consolidated credit profile," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Michael Grande.

The transaction will increase the partnership's size and scale,
more than doubling EBITDA in 2015 to about $650 million, as well
as provide additional asset, customer, and geographic diversity.
These benefits are only partly offset by the slightly higher
initial pro forma leverage of about 4.3x in 2015 and exposure to
some commodity risk and volume risk.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that TLLP will
successfully integrate QEPFS' gathering, processing, and
fractionation business, while largely maintaining stable, fee-
based cash flow and financial leverage of 4x or less as it
continues to pursue growth opportunities.

S&P could lower its ratings on TLLP if the partnership materially
increases leverage such that debt to EBITDA exceeds 4.5x on a
sustained basis, or if EBITDA becomes more volatile due to the
partnership assuming a greater amount of volume or commodity price
risk.

While unlikely in the near term, S&P could raise ratings on TLLP
if the partnership achieves much greater scale, geographic, and
asset diversity, while maintaining stable, fee-based cash flows
and leverage of 4x or less.


TEXTRON INC: Fitch Plans to Withdraw Ratings
--------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings plans to withdraw the ratings on Textron Inc. (TXT)
and Textron Financial Corporation (TFC) on Nov. 20, 2014 for
business reasons.  Fitch currently rates TXT and TFC as follows:
Textron Inc.

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured bank credit facility 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured bank term loan 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes 'BBB-';
-- Short-term IDR 'F3';
-- Commercial paper 'F3'.

Textron Financial Corporation

-- IDR 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured debt 'BBB-';
-- Junior subordinated notes 'BB'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Fitch reserves the right in its sole discretion to withdraw or
maintain any rating at any time for any reason it deems
sufficient. Fitch believes that investors benefit from increased
rating coverage by Fitch and is providing approximately 30 days'
notice to the market on the withdrawal of TXT's ratings as a
courtesy to investors.

Fitch's last rating action occurred on Dec. 27, 2013 when Fitch
affirmed TXT's ratings after the announcement of an agreement to
acquire Beechcraft.

TPC GROUP: Moody's Assigns B3 Rating on $50MM Sr. Secured Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to TPC Group Inc's
proposed $50 million add-on 8.75% senior secured notes due
December 2020. The proceeds of the proposed notes will be used to
repay outstanding revolver borrowings. The transaction is leverage
neutral, but will marginally increase interest expense and add
permanent financing, freeing up the revolver to support the
company's liquidity as it prepares for the restart of its
dehydrogenation unit to produce on-purpose isobutylene in the
fourth quarter of 2014. TPC's B2 corporate family rating and other
ratings remain unchanged. The ratings outlook remains negative.

Moody's took the following rating action for TPC Group Inc:

-- Assigned a B3(LGD4) rating to $50 million add-on 8.75% notes
    due December 2020.

Ratings Rationale

The B3 rating on the senior secured notes, one notch below the B2
corporate family rating, reflects their position in the capital
structure, which is structurally subordinated relative to the
senior secured revolving facility (not rated).

TPC Group's B2 corporate family rating reflects its high leverage,
narrow commodity based product line, the shortage of crude C4's in
the US which can limit volumes during periods of high demand, and
a concentrated operational and geographical profile as all three
plants are in the Texas Gulf region. TPC's debt/EBITDA stood at
6.6x in the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. The add-on note
issuance will have no impact on leverage, which is high due to the
initial leveraged buyout in December 2012, ongoing capital
expenditures, and operational issues in the second quarter of
2014, which hurt EBITDA levels and margins. The cyclical downturn
in demand for synthetic rubber and tires, which is the main driver
for sales of butadiene, TPC's key product, has hindered credit
improvement.

The rating also reflects that TPC's capital expenditures will
remain elevated as the company continues to spend on its growth
projects in 2014, thereby resulting in negative free cash flow in
2014 and into 2015, and further increase leverage. TPC is
currently expanding polyisobutylene production capacity and could
pursue other capital projects, but does not expect to have sizable
capex needs for the next 18 months.

In support of the rating, the company enjoys large market shares
within its low volume commodity product lines where it is either
the largest or second largest supplier. Over 70% of its sales
volumes are contractually insulated from fluctuations in
feedstock, sales price, and energy price volatility in order to
protect margins. Despite the protection offered by its contracts,
margins can be volatile because TPC must source crude C4s from
international locations, which can extend the time that this
feedstock remains in inventory while commodity prices fluctuate.
Additionally, its on-purpose isobutylene project is targeted to
start-up in late 2014 and ramp up to capacity in the first quarter
of 2015. Management increased its projections regarding the
expected EBITDA from this project to $100 million annual run rate,
capex projections were also increased to $350 million.

It is unlikely that the CFR would be upgraded before the company
completes its first major capital project for on-purpose
isobutylene and realizes returns in 2015. The ratings could be
upgraded if leverage (Debt/EBITDA) declined below 4.0x on a
sustained basis and the company produced positive free cash flow
supportive of a higher rating.

Ratings could be downgraded if the company is unable to maintain
its margins, if Debt/EBITDA remains above 6.0x for a sustained
period, or if it does not maintain adequate liquidity.

TPC Group Inc. (TPC) is a processor of crude C4 hydrocarbons
(primarily butadiene, butene-1, isobutylene), differentiated
isobutylene derivatives and nonene and tetramer. For its product
lines, TPC is the largest independent North American producer. The
company operates three Texas-based manufacturing facilities in
Houston, Baytown, and Port Neches. Revenues were approximately
$1.7 billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. TPC is
owned by private equity funds managed by First Reserve Management,
L.P. and SK Capital Partners.

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

TRINITY INDUSTRIES: $175 Million Awarded in Guardrail Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that a
federal jury in Texas has awarded $175 million in a trial brought
by a whistleblower who questioned the safety of thousands of
highway guardrail end caps on the nation's roads.  According to
the report, after deliberating for just several hours in U.S.
District Court in Marshall, Texas, a jury sided with whistleblower
Josh Harman, finding Trinity Industries Inc. defrauded the federal
government when it submitted claims tied to a modified guardrail
system.

                     About Trinity Industries

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Trinity Industries Inc. (NYSE:TRN)
-- http://www.trin.net/-- is a holding company of diversified
industrial companies. Trinity manufactures and sells railcars and
railcar parts, inland barges, concrete and aggregates, highway
products, beams and girders used in highway construction, tank
containers and structural wind towers. In addition, it leases
railcars to its customers through a captive leasing business,
Trinity Industries Leasing Company. Trinity has five business
groups: Rail Group, Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group,
Construction Products Group, Inland Barge Group and the Energy
Equipment Group.

                        *      *      *

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Sep. 24, 2014, reported that
Moody's Investors Service affirmed all debt ratings of Trinity
Industries, Inc., including the Ba1 Corporate Family Rating, and
changed the rating outlook to positive from stable. Moody's also
assigned a Ba1 (LGD4) rating to Trinity's new issue of $300
million of unsecured notes.

The proceeds of the new notes will be used initially to bolster
its cash reserves following the recent acquisition of Meyer Steel
Structures for about $600 million, which Trinity funded from cash.
Moody's anticipates that the company will continue to acquire
additional manufacturing companies to broaden the product
offerings in its construction products and energy equipment groups
to help reduce the still high concentration of its highly cyclical
rail manufacturing segment.


TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT: Taj Mahal Wins Court OK to Reject CBA
----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross on Monday gave Trump Entertainment
Resorts, Inc., and its affiliated debtors, including Trump Taj
Mahal Associates, LLC, the green light to:

     -- reject the Collective Bargaining Agreement between
        Trump Taj Mahal Associates, LLC and UNITE HERE Local 54;
        and

     -- implement the terms of the Debtors' Proposal, as amended,
        under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1113(b).

The Debtors argue that Taj Mahal cannot maintain its labor costs
given its financial extremis and that Debtors will be forced to
liquidate if the Court does not grant the request to reject the
CBA.

The Court conducted an evidentiary hearing on October 2 and 14,
2014, at which the Debtors presented witnesses and introduced
numerous exhibits in support of the Motion.  The Union cross
examined the Debtors' witnesses and introduced a few exhibits into
evidence, but did not call any witnesses on its behalf.

Taj Mahal has 2,953 employees working at the Casino, 2,041 of whom
are full time and the remainder are part-time, seasonal or
temporary employees: 1,486 of the employees are non-unionized and
1,467 are unionized. The Union is the largest of the employee
unions, and is a party to the CBA, with 1,136 Taj Mahal employees
under its umbrella.

William H. Hardie of Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., the Debtors'
investment banker, was presented to the Court as their expert and
fact witness.  The Debtors, through Mr. Hardie, provided the Court
with extensive financial data on the Debtors, including Taj Mahal,
which confirmed the Debtors' serious losses.

Mr. Hardie further testified that the situation is so grim that
without the Court granting the Motion and the Debtors obtaining
other concessions, the Debtors would have to give notice to the
New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement not later than October
20, 2014, that Taj Mahal will close the Casino.

These concessions include: savings from the payments to employees
under the CBA of $14.6 million per year; assistance from the first
lien secured creditor in the form of converting $286 million of
outstanding secured debt and making an equity investment of $100
million; property tax relief from Atlantic City and the State of
New Jersey; and $25 million of tax credits.  Mr. Hardie also
testified that all of these concessions are necessary to avoid
liquidation.

Judge Gross held, "The Court will not speculate why the Union
failed to negotiate in good faith with the Debtors and did not
present witnesses at the evidentiary hearing.  The Union had ample
opportunity to do both. The Court continues to be concerned that
whatever the Union's reasons, the Union did not take action to
advance the interests of Taj Mahal employees despite the
protections which Section 1113 provides. Nor did the Union present
a single witness in rebuttal."

"The Court finds that it has jurisdiction to approve rejection of
an expired collective bargaining agreement under Section 1113(c).
Further, based on the extensive evidence, the Court finds that the
Debtors have satisfied their responsibilities under Section
1113(b) and Section 1113(c). Accordingly, the Court will grant the
Motion," Judge Gross added.

                      U.S. Trustee Guidelines

The Office of the U.S. Trustee recently adopted new Guidelines for
Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of
Expenses Filed under 11 USC Section 330 by Attorneys in Larger
Chapter 11 Cases.  The UST Guidelines apply to the U.S. Trustee's
review of applications for compensation filed by attorneys in
larger chapter 11 cases and are intended as an update to the
original guidelines adopted in 1996.

The firm has responded to the following questions in the UST
Guidelines in compliance with paragraph D, section 1:

  a) Question: Did you agree to any variations from, or
               alternatives to, your standard or customary billing
               arrangements for this engagement?

     Response: Yes - Mr. Schultz reduced his customary hourly rate
               from $525 to $495.

  b) Question: Do any of the professionals included in this
               engagement vary their rate based on the geographic
               location of the bankruptcy case?

     Response: No.

  c) Question: If you represented the client in the 12 months
               prepetition, disclose your billing rates and
               material financial terms for the prepetition
               engagement, including any adjustments during the 12
               months prepetition.

               If your billing rates and material financial terms
               have changed postpetition, explain the difference
               and the reasons for the difference.

     Response: Did not represent the client prepetition.

  d) Question: Has your client approved your prospective budget
               and staffing plan, and, if so, for what budget
               period?

     Response: The Creditors' Committee has approved our hourly
               rates and staffing plan.  The budget remains a
               matter of discussion for a number of reasons,
               including, without limitation, the uncertainty of
               the Debtors' continuation in business as a result
               of a number of cost-saving measures which must fall
               into place in order for such operations to
               continue.

                      U.S. Trustee Compliance

The firm notes it intends to make a reasonable effort to comply

disclosures as set forth in the UST Guidelines, both in connection
with this application and the interim and final fee applications
to be filed by the firm in these chapter 11 cases.

                and staffing plan, and, if so, for what budget
                period?

TURNER GRAIN: Close to Filing for Chapter 11, Receiver Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Court-appointed receiver Kevin Keech of North Little Rock said in
a court filing that Turner Grain Merchandising Inc. is close to
filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Mark Friedman at Arkansas Business relates that U.S. District
Court Judge James M. Moody Jr. appointed Mr. Keech as Turner
Grain's receiver in September, at the behest of Rabo Agrifinance
Inc., which filed a lawsuit against Turner Grain and its
executives that month for contract violation.  According to the
report, Mr. Keech disclosed in a draft of Turner Grain's
bankruptcy filed on Oct. 14, 2014, that the company had $24.8
million in debts from creditors holding unsecured claims and $13.8
million in assets.  The report says that some creditors' claims
are listed as "unknown" or zero.

Rabo Agrifinance said in its Sept. 11, 2014 motion for a receiver
that Turner Grain and its executives, Jason Coleman and Bartlett,
"are currently perceived to be insolvent and are defaulting on
various agreements with multiple farmers, operators, shippers,
dealers, and brokers across many states."

Arkansas Business reports that Turner Grain is facing seven
lawsuits over alleged breach of contract.

Turner Grain Merchandising Inc. operates as a middleman for
commodities.  Incorporated in 2002, Turner Grain would buy the
farmer's supply and hold it until a customer wanted to purchase
it.


TURNER GRAIN: President Files for Ch 12 With $5.5MM Debt
--------------------------------------------------------
Lance Turner at Arkansas Business reports Turner Grain
Merchandising Inc. President Dale Bartlett, who filed for Chapter
12 bankruptcy protection on Sept. 5, 2014, disclosed on Oct. 6,
2014, that he has $5.5 million in debts and $2 million in assets.

According to Arkansas Business, all of Mr. Bartlett's creditors
are holding unsecured claims.  The report says that large debts
include:

      (a) $2.4 million owed to Kennedy Rice Dryers LLC;
      (b) $1.1 million owed to Helena National Bank;
      (c) $1 million owed to RaboBank; and
      (d) $699,000 owed to Planters Rice Mill LLC.

Mr. Bartlett's court filing also lists other creditors with claim
amounts that are "unknown."  Arkansas Business relates that those
creditors include these companies having legal actions against
Turner Grain: (i) Zero Grade Farms; (ii) Lance Gray of High Roads
Farms of Helena; and (iii) Bruce Oakley Inc.

Mr. Bartlett also disclosed in his court filing that he
transferred his interest in $844,000 worth of real property --
excluding the couple's $187,500 home on 5 acres -- to his wife,
Elizabeth, on July 28 and Aug. 11, months before word of Turner
Grain's financial troubles became known.  According to the court
filing, Mr. Bartlett also sold "all stock" in Turner Grain for
$5,000 and transferred farm equipment "with no liens" to Turner
Grain Vice President Jason Coleman.

Turner Grain Merchandising Inc. operates as a middleman for
commodities.  Incorporated in 2002, Turner Grain would buy the
farmer's supply and hold it until a customer wanted to purchase
it.


U.S. DRY CLEANING: To Raise $17.5 Million in Public Offering
------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Dry Cleaning Services Corporation filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission an AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM S-1
REGISTRATION STATEMENT, in connection with its public offering of
securities.

"This is a firm commitment public offering of 2,000,000 shares of
common stock and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares
of common stock of U.S. Dry Cleaning Services Corporation, which
will be sold in combination consisting of one share of common
stock and one warrant.  We expect that the public offering price
for one combination consisting of one share of common stock and
one warrant will be between $5.00 and $7.00, with each warrant
having a purchase price equal to $0.01.  Although issued together,
the shares of common stock and warrants may be transferred
separately immediately upon issuance," the Company said.

The Company expects to raise up to $17,516,800 from the public
offering.

A copy of Amendment No. 1 is available at http://is.gd/hCe7rb

Given the financial crisis and the associated difficulties with
raising capital in late 2008, U.S. Dry Cleaning was unable to
repay or restructure debt obligations. As a result, on March 4,
2011, U.S. Dry Cleaning filed a Chapter 11 petition in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.  On
September 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as modified.  The Plan was
declared effective upon confirmation.  The Plan enabled the
Company to eliminate a significant amount of outstanding debt and
close or relocate 12 unprofitable stores, while still allowing
stockholders to maintain a continuing equity interest in the
company.

UNIVERSAL COOPERATIVES: Hearing Today on Sale of Residual Assets
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court will convene a hearing on Oct. 22, 2014, at
10:30 a.m., to consider Universal Cooperatives, Inc., et al.'s
motion to (i) approve procedures to sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of certain residual assets; (ii) authorize the estates to
retain brokers and other sales agents to conduct the dispositions;
and (iii) grant a waiver of the requirements of Rule 2016-2 of the
Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice.

On Aug. 25, 2014, the Debtors sold substantially all of the assets
of debtors Bridon Cordage LLC and Heritage Trading Company, LLC
and certain assets of Universal to BCHU Acquisition LLC, an
affiliate of Great Lakes Copper, Inc.

Each Debtor has assets that were excluded from the going concern
sale, including, but not limited to, the assets of Universal Crop
Protection Alliance and Agrilon International, LLC, and the
extraneous assets of Universal that were not sold in conjunction
with the going concern sale.

The Debtors are no longer operating as going concerns, the Debtors
and their estates have no ongoing long term need for the residual
assets.

According to the Debtors, the residual assets will provide
additional sources of distributable value for creditors of the
Debtors' respective estates.

The Debtors will file a separate motion and seek court approval
for any sale, lease or other disposition of a residual asset, or a
group of Residual Assets, involving an aggregate transaction value

URS CORP: S&P Cuts Corp. Credit Rating to BB Over AECOM Deal
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on San Francisco-based URS Corp. to 'BB' from 'BBB-'
following Los Angeles-based AECOM Technology Corp.'s announcement
that it has completed its acquisition of URS.

At the same time, S&P removed its ratings on URS from CreditWatch,
where it had placed them with negative implications on July 15,
2014.  The outlook on the corporate credit rating is stable.

S&P also lowered its issue level ratings on URS' senior unsecured
notes to 'BB-' from 'BBB-', which is aligned with the unsecured
notes on AECOM.

S&P subsequently withdrew its corporate credit rating on URS.

S&P' lowered the ratings on URS and removed them from CreditWatch
to reflect S&P's view that the company's credit quality is now
aligned with that of AECOM, following the Oct. 20, 2014, closing
of AECOM's acquisition of URS.  S&P then withdrew the corporate
credit rating on URS.


USEC INC: Top Post Reshuffled Following Bankruptcy Exit
-------------------------------------------------------
Effective October 17, 2014, John K. Welch stepped down as the
President and Chief Executive Officer of Centrus Energy Corp. and
resigned as a member of the Board of Directors.

On October 1, 2014, John R. Castellano was appointed as the
Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
effective October 17, 2014.

Centrus, formerly known as USEC Inc., said earlier this month that
Mr. Welch's departure is not the result of any disagreement with
the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices.

The COmpany said Mr. Welch will receive severance pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan.

In connection with the Company's recently completed restructuring,
the Company engaged AP Services, LLC ("APS"), an affiliate of
AlixPartners, LLP to provide various consulting and management
services to the Company. Mr. Castellano is a partner at
AlixPartners and has served as the Company's Chief Restructuring
Officer since October 2013 pursuant to that engagement.

Mr. Castellano's services to the Company are billed by APS under
its agreement with the Company. Mr. Castellano will not receive
separate compensation from the Company for serving as the Interim
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Mr. Castellano, age 47, joined AlixPartners in 1998 and has more
than two decades of experience restructuring energy, oilfield
services and infrastructure companies. He earned a Masters of
Business Administration from Kellogg Management School at
Northwestern University, and holds several accounting
certifications.

The Company has begun a process to select a permanent President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

In electing Mr. Williams as chairman, the board noted his broad
leadership capabilities as a CEO and director, and his experience
leading a variety of advanced technology and manufacturing
companies. Williams, 57, joined the board of directors of USEC
Inc. in 2013. He has served as the chief executive officer and a
director of JPS Industries, Inc., a composite materials
manufacturer, since May 2013. From 2005 to 2012, Williams was the
president, CEO and a director of DDi Corporation, an electronics
manufacturing company. Williams has also served in various
management positions and on the board of directors for several
technology-related companies.

"There are both challenges and opportunities ahead for Centrus,
and I am excited about our company's future prospects," Williams
said. "We have significant inventory and supply sources to compete
in the global nuclear fuel market, and I continue to be impressed
by the American Centrifuge technology.

"We have an outstanding mix of directors, including members who
served on the previous board and new board members with fresh
ideas for Centrus. These directors bring many years of experience
and business acumen to the company as we complete the corporate
transition smoothly," Williams added.

As part of that transition, the board has established a process to
identify and select the next CEO, considering both internal and
external candidates. The board has selected Spencer Stuart, a
leading executive search firm, to assist in the process. John R.
Castellano, who has served as the chief restructuring officer for
the Company for the past year, will serve as the interim president
and CEO effective on October 17.

"After successfully demonstrating the benefits of the American
Centrifuge technology and completing the restructuring, Centrus is
on track to succeed. After nine years as CEO, this is the right
time for me to step down," Mr. Welch said in a statement released
by the Company on Oct. 1.

"John Welch has done an outstanding job leading the company
through the development and demonstration of the American
Centrifuge technology. John and I think this the right time for
this leadership transition," Mr. Williams said in that Company
statement.  "We will seek his counsel as an advisor as we move
towards deploying this industry-leading uranium enrichment
technology.

"We are fortunate to have someone of John Castellano's caliber
available to step forward as interim CEO as we conduct a thorough
search for our next chief executive. Castellano has served as the
chief restructuring officer since October 2013 and has gained an
understanding of our business. He is well positioned to serve in
this interim role while we consider internal and external
permanent candidates," Mr. Williams added.

Castellano, 47, joined AlixPartners, a global business advisory
firm, in 1998. He has more than two decades of experience
restructuring energy, oilfield services and infrastructure
companies. He earned an MBA from Kellogg Management School at
Northwestern University, and holds several accounting
certifications. The executive search is expected to take several
months.

The directors held their organizational meeting one day after the
Plan of Reorganization was effective and shares of LEU began
trading on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition to the
election of Williams as chairman, the board organized its
committee structure and assigned directors to the committees. Dr.
William Madia will continue to serve as chairman of the
Technology, Competition and Regulatory Committee; W. Thomas
Jagodinski was appointed chairman of the Audit and Finance
Committee; and Michael Diament will serve as chairman of the
Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee.

connection with issuing the New Notes, Enrichment Corp. entered
into a Pledge and Security Agreement and the Note Subordination
Agreement. The terms of the New Notes will include those stated in
the Indenture entered into by the Company, Enrichment Corp and
Delaware Trust Company, as trustee and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended.

The New Notes are guaranteed by Enrichment Corp., on a limited,
subordinated and conditional basis.  The New Notes will mature 5
years from the Issue Date; provided that, the Company has the
right to extend the maturity date to 10 years from the Issue Date
upon the occurrence of certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture. The New Notes will pay interest at a rate of 8.0% per
annum. Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from the
Issue Date. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears
based on a 360 day year. The Company has elected to pay in kind
3.0% of interest for the semi-annual interest payment dates
occurring on March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. The Company
has the option to pay in kind up to 5.5% of interest from October
1, 2015 through maturity.

VARIANT HOLDINGS: U.S. Trustee Balks at Bid to Employ CRO
---------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, objected to
Variant Holding Company, LLC's motion to employ and retain
Development Specialists, Inc. to provide a chief restructuring
officer, additional personnel, and financial advisory and
restructuring-related services.

According to the U.S. Trustee, the CRO motion, as supplemented and
modified on Sept. 23, 2014, must be denied for three reasons:

   a) the CRO motion is predicated on compliance with a crisis
management protocol known as the Jay Alix Protocol but does comply
with the express provisions of that protocol;

   b) the CRO motion is premature, and the Court must not consider
it before resolving the motion for appointment of a Chapter 11
trustee; and

   c) granting the CRO motion in the face of the Debtor's
stipulation to the allegations of the motion for appointment of a
trustee would enable the Debtor to nullify the provisions of
Bankruptcy Code Sections 105(b) and 1104(a) by allowing the Debtor
to select its own receiver or quasi-trustee in response to a
pending or anticipated motion for appointment of a trustee.

The CRO motion is set for hearing at the same time as a creditor's
substantial motion for the appointment of a trustee.  The latter
motion alleges fraud and misconduct by the management of the
Debtor, who remained in possession and control of the Debtor's
estate through Sept. 19, 2014.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 5, 2014, DSI
will provide Bradley D. Sharp as CRO.  Mr. Sharp as CRO and the
additional personnel are charged with assisting the Debtor with
its various operational, administrative and financial needs
arising in connection with the Chapter 11 case.  Specifically, the
anticipated services include:

   (a) As CRO, Mr. Sharp will assume control of the Debtor's
       direct and indirect assets, including the day-to-day
       control of the ongoing efforts of the Debtor's affiliates
       to market and sell their assets.  Mr. Sharp will report to
       the Bankruptcy Court, as well as comply with the Debtor's
       corporate governance requirements;

   (b) implementing and prosecuting the Chapter 11 case,
       including, but not limited to, disposition of assets,
       negotiations with creditors, reconciliation of claims and
       confirmation of a plan; and

   (c) providing other services including:

       (i) assisting the Debtor in the preparation of financial
           disclosures required by the Court, including the
           Schedules of Assets and Liabilities, the Statements of
           Financial Affairs, and Monthly Operating Reports;

      (ii) advising and assisting the Debtor, the Debtor's legal
           counsel and other professionals in responding to third
           party due diligence requests, including with respect to
           potential sales of the Debtor's assets;

     (iii) attending meetings and assisting in communications with
           parties-in-interest in the case and their
           professionals, including the Debtor's secured lenders,
           any official committees, and the U.S. Trustee;

      (iv) providing litigation advisory services with respect to
           accounting matters, along with expert witness testimony
           on case-related issues; and

       (v) rendering other general business consulting or other
           assistance as the Debtor's counsel may deem necessary
           and which are consistent with the role of a financial
           advisor and not duplicative of services provided by
           other professionals in the case.

The hourly rates for Mr. Sharp and the additional personnel are:

      Mr. Sharp                       $570
      R. Brian Calvert                $570
      Eric J. Held                    $425
      Matthew P. Sorenson             $330
      Shelly L. Cuff                  $250

In addition to the fees, DSI will bill the Debtor for
reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses incurred on the
Debtor's behalf during the engagement.

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

                      About Variant Holding

Variant Holding Company, LLC, commenced bankruptcy proceedings
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in Delaware (Case No.
14-12021) on Aug. 28, 2014, without stating a reason.

Tucson, Arizona-based Variant Holding estimated $100 million to
$500 million in assets and less than $100 million in debt.

The Debtor has tapped Peter J. Keane, Esq., at Pachulski Stang
Ziehl & Jones LLP, as counsel.

Company, LLC, Walkers Dream Trust, and Variant Royalty Group, LP,

VARIANT HOLDINGS: Asks for Approval of Jefferies as Inv. Banker
---------------------------------------------------------------
Variant Holding Company, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy Court for
permission to employ Jefferies LLC as investment banker.

Jefferies will assist with the potential sale of the Debtor and
its affiliates' assets.  The Debtor relates that it does not
intend that Jefferies' services will be duplicative of the
services performed by any other professionals.

The Debtor agreed to pay:

   1. a monthly fee of $100,000 per month;

   2. promptly upon the closing of any M&A transaction, a fee
equal to 1.0% of the transaction value of the M&A transaction; and

VERITEQ CORP: Sells $90,750 Convertible Note to WHC Capital
-----------------------------------------------------------
VeriTeQ Corporation and WHC Capital LLC, an accredited investor,
entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated and effective
Oct. 10, 2014, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to
WHC Capital a convertible promissory note, bearing interest at 12%
per annum in the amount of $90,750, which includes an original
issue discount of $8,250, according to a regulatory filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The 12% Note matures on Oct. 10, 2015, and any time after 110 days
from the date of issuance, may be converted in whole or in part
into the Company's common stock, at the option of the holder at a
conversion price equal to a 40% discount from the average of the
three lowest daily closing prices of the Company's common stock in
the ten trading days prior to the day that the holder requests
conversion.  However, in no event will the holder be entitled to
convert any portion of the note if that conversion would result in
beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than
4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock,
subject to possible adjustment as provided in the note.

If, at any time when the note  is outstanding, the Company issues
or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its
common stock in connection with a subsequent placement for no
consideration or for a consideration per share based on a variable
price formula that is more favorable to the investor in such
subsequent placement than the then conversion price in effect for
the note on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of
those shares of the Company's common Stock, the conversion price
of the note will be adjusted to match the more favorable price or
formula.

WEST TEXAS GUAR: Farmers, Hedge Fund Strike Deal Over Payments
--------------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
farmers in Oklahoma and Texas who shipped more than $20 million
worth of guar beans last year to West Texas Guar, Inc., the
nation's only guar processing plant, have struck a deal with the
plant's majority owner, Scopia Capital Management, LLC.

According to the report, under the deal, the farmers who agree to
the plant's pending sale to an investment firm will recover about
75 cents on the dollar of what they're owed when the plant near
Lubbock, Texas, leaves bankruptcy protection.  Some farmers will
also be able to split another $2.95 million, the Journal said.

                      About West Texas Guar

Representatives of 24 farms filed an involuntary Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 14-50056) on March
14, 2014, against West Texas Guar Inc.  The farmers claim they are
owed nearly $4 million for seed they've delivered on the 2013
harvest but haven't been paid for.  Guar is a seed crop that has a
variety of uses in human and animal food production, textiles and
fracking for oil and gas wells.

Judge Robert L. Jones oversees the case.  The farmers are
represented by R. Byrn Bass, Jr., Esq., Attorney at Law.

WTG is represented by Samuel M. Stricklin, Esq., Tricia R. DeLeon,
Esq., and Lauren C. Kessler, Esq., at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, in
Dallas, Texas.  The Debtor disclosed in amended schedules
$19,226,923 in assets and $29,331,352 in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.

WTG and Scopia Windmill Fund LP filed a Joint Plan of
Reorganization and Disclosure Statement on August 25, 2014.  On
Sept. 23, WTG filed a Second Amended Joint Plan.  In support of
the plan, Scopia Windmill Fund LP, Scopia Capital Management LLC,
Scopia Holdings LLC, Corcapital Group LLC, and the Debtor executed
the attached Term Sheet for Proposed Purchase/Restructuring
Transaction that provides the basic terms for a transaction that
would be implemented through a confirmed plan of reorganization
for the Debtor.

The capital structure of the reorganized Debtor is Senior Secured
Term Loan of $8 million and Junior Secured Term Loan of $1.5
million, both of which will be issued by Scopia, and CorCapital
Preferred Interests of $7.1 million.  10% of the outstanding
fully-diluted total common interest of the Reorganized Debtor will
be issued to Scopia in full and complete satisfaction of Scopia's
claims against the Debtor in the amount of approximately $6
million plus accrued interest.  As additional consideration for
providing the $8 million Senior Secured Term Loan, Scopia will be
provided with warrants exercisable for 12% of the fully diluted
total common interests of Reorganized WTG at a price of $l.

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 by e-mail.

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 the nation's bankruptcy courts.  The
list includes links to freely downloadable of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF documents.

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

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

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