1701 COMMERCE: Wants Plan Filing Period Extended Pending Sale
-------------------------------------------------------------
1701 Commerce LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to extend its
exclusive period to propose a Chapter 11 plan pending a sale of
the assets.

After filing a plan on May 20, 2012, and amending it Oct. 4, the
Debtor filed a motion to sell substantially all of its hotel
properties and assets to an independent third party pursuant to
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to the asset
purchase agreement, the buyer has 60 days in which to conduct due
diligence on the Debtor's assets, and an additional 30 days to
close on the purchase of the Debtor's assets.

The Debtor thus seeks a 90-day plan exclusivity extension from
Nov. 24, 2012, or from termination of the sale contract, whichever
occurs first, to prevent the waste of time, money and resources of
the Debtor's bankruptcy estate that would be occasioned by
simultaneously pursuing the sale motion and confirmation of the
plan.

                        About 1701 Commerce

1701 Commerce LLC, owner and operator of a full service "Sheraton
Hotel" located at 1701 Commerce, Fort Worth, Texas, filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 12-41748) on
March 26, 2012.  The Debtor also was the former operator of a
Shula's steakhouse at the Hotel.

1701 Commerce LLC was previously named Presidio Ft. Worth Hotel
LLC, but changed its name to 1701 Commerce LLC, prior to the
bankruptcy filing date to reduce and minimize any potential
confusion relating to an entity named Presidio Fort Worth Hotel
LP, an unrelated and unaffiliated partnership that was the former
owner of the hotel property owned by the Debtor.

1701 Commerce is a Nevada limited liability company whose members
are Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc., Vestin Mortgage Realty II,
Inc., and Vestin Fund III, LLC. 1701 Commerce LLC's operations are
managed by Richfield Hospitality Group, an independent management
company that is not affiliated with the Debtor or any of its
members.

Judge D. Michael Lynn presides over the bankruptcy case.  The Law
Office of John P. Lewis, Jr., represents the Debtor.  The Debtor
disclosed $71,842,322 in assets and $44,936,697 in liabilities.


1701 COMMERCE: Richfield Hospitality Okayed as Property Manager
---------------------------------------------------------------
1701 Commerce LLC sought and obtained permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to employ
Richfield Hospitality, Inc., as property manager.

The Debtor and Richfield entered into an operating agreement for
management and operation of Sheraton Fort Worth Hotel and Spa.

Richfield has managed the hotel since August 2011 under an
operating agreement with the former owner, Presidio.  Prior to
Richfield's engagement, the hotel had been managed by an affiliate
of the former owner or its principals.

Richfield will supervise and manage the day-to-day activities
related to the hotel and to assist Debtor in maintaining the
property and complying with its reporting requirements in the
case.

The compensation payable to Richfield for its property management
services provides for a "base management fee" and an "incentive
management fee" in addition to reimbursement of certain direct
operating costs and expenses.

The Base Management Fee is computed based upon the monthly gross
revenues generated by the hotel and is 2.5% of the gross revenues.
The Base Management Fee is payable monthly from the Debtor's
operating account.  The Incentive Management Fee is calculated and
payable after the annual financial statement is prepared and
delivered.  The Incentive Management Fee, if any, is equal to 10%
of the excess, if any, of the Gross Operating Profit (less
reserves and debt service payments on account of any mortgage on
the Hotel) for the immediately preceding 12-month period over the
amount needed to provide the Debtor with a 10% annual return on
its Invested Capital.

In addition, the Management Agreement provides: (a) for an annual
fee of $2,050 for the Debtor's access to the manager's accounting
systems for the hotel and an agreed upon fee for Centralized
Services as agreed to in the property's budget; and (b)
reimbursement of certain direct costs attributable to the Hotel
such as employee wages, employee benefits, payroll taxes, employee
expenses, cost of goods and services to the hotel provided or paid
by Richfield, sales, use, hotel, and other taxes, and similar
operational costs paid by manager.

A123 SYSTEMS: Meeting to Form Creditors' Panel Set for Oct. 29
--------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, United States Trustee for Region 3, will
hold an organizational meeting on Oct. 29, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. in
the bankruptcy case of. A123 Systems, Inc. The meeting will be
held at:

         DoubleTree Hotel Wilmington
         700 North King Street, Salon C
         Wilmington DE 19801

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee or
committees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' case.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors
pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A representative
of the Debtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and
provide background information regarding the bankruptcy cases.

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States
Trustee appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as
practicable.  The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons,
willing to serve, that hold the seven largest unsecured claims
against the debtor of the kinds represented on the committee.

Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee
may consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its
business operations and participate in the formulation of a plan
of reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services
as are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 17, 2012,
A123 Systems Inc., a maker of electric car batteries, sought
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 16 in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Wilmington, Delaware, armed with a deal to sell its auto-
business assets to Johnson Controls Inc.   The deal with JCI is
valued at $125 million, and subject to higher offers at a
bankruptcy auction.


A123 SYSTEMS: Seeking to Replace JCI DIP Financing
--------------------------------------------------
A123 Systems Inc. disclosed in papers filed in Bankruptcy Court
that, at the request of Johnson Controls Inc., which is providing
$72.5 million in postpetition secured financing, the Debtors have
been working with other potential DIP lenders to refinance the
obligations under the JCI DIP facility prior to the final hearing
on the JCI loan.

The Debtors intend to use the time prior to the final hearing on
Oct. 26 to attempt to procure replacement financing on better
terms if available in the marketplace.  To that end, JCI has
agreed, on behalf of itself and the other DIP lenders, to refund
or waive certain fees otherwise payable under the DIP loan to the
extent such an alternative financing can be accomplished on
reasonable economic terms.

The DIP Credit Agreement with JCI provides that the terms and
conditions of any DIP refinancing will be on terms and conditions
that are reasonably acceptable to the Debtors.

For now, the Debtors are seeking permission from the Court to file
under seal a DIP refinancing term sheet attached to A123's DIP
loan agreement dated Oct. 16 with JCI.

At Thursday's hearing in Delaware Bankruptcy Court, A123 obtained
permission to pay reasonable fees and expenses incurred by
JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. as a potential source of refinancing in
connection with the bank's ongoing due diligence investigation of
the Debtors.  JPMorgan has made no commitments in respect of any
refinancing.

According to the Debtors, the DIP refinancing term sheet includes,
among other things, terms relating to the maximum interest rate
and fees for any DIP refinancing.  The Debtors said it is
necessary to seal the refinancing term sheet as public disclosure
of its terms could impact A123's ability to negotiate more
attractive terms with potential alternative DIP lenders.

The JCI DIP facility consists of a term loan in aggregate
principal amount of $72,500,000.  On Thursday, the Court issued an
interim order authorizing the Debtors to borrow up to $15,500,000.

The DIP Obligations under the JCI loan bear interest at the rate
of 15% per annum. During the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, the DIP obligations will bear interest at 17%
per annum.

The JCI DIP Facility matures and must be paid in full on the
earliest of (a) the date that is 15 calendar days after the
Petition Date unless the Bankruptcy Court has entered (i) the
Final Order and (ii) the order establishing procedures for the
sale of the Debtors' transportation business to JCI, (b) the date
of consummation of the sale of the Debtors' transportation
business to JCI, (c) the date that is 34 days after the Petition
Date if the auction in respect of the Sale has not been commenced
by such date, (d) the date that is 36 days after the Petition Date
if the auction in respect of the Sale has not been completed by
such date, (e) the date that is 41 days after the Petition Date if
an order approving the Sale has not been entered by the Court by
such date and (f) Dec. 31, 2012.

Based in Waltham, Massachusetts, A123 Systems Inc. designs,
develops, manufactures and sells advanced rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries and battery systems and provides research and

Obama administration.  Pre-bankruptcy, A123 had an agreement to
sell an 80% stake to Chinese auto-parts maker Wanxiang Group Corp.
U.S. lawmakers opposed the deal over concerns on the transfer of
American taxpayer dollars and technology to China.

A123 didn't make a $2.7 million payment due Oct. 15 on $143.75
million in 3.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2016.

A123 and U.S. affiliates, A123 Securities Corporation and Grid
Storage Holdings LLC, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 12-12859 to 12-12861) on Oct. 16, 2012,
with a deal to sell its auto-business assets to Johnson Controls
Inc.  The deal with JCI is valued at $125 million, and subject to
higher offers at a bankruptcy auction.

A123 disclosed assets of $459.8 million and liabilities totaling
$376 million.  Debt includes $143.8 million on 3.75% convertible
subordinated notes.  Other liabilities include $22.5 million on a
bridge loan owing to Wanziang.  About $33 million is owed to trade
suppliers.

The Hon. Kevin J. Carey presides over the case.  Lawyers at
Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., and Latham & Watkins LLP serve as
the Debtors' counsel.  Lazard Freres & Co. LLC acts as the
Debtors' financial advisors, while Alvarez & Marsal serves as
restructuring advisors.  Logan & Company Inc. serves as the

are represented in the case by lawyers at Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP, and Sidley Austin LLP.


A123 SYSTEMS: Can Hire Logan as Claims & Noticing Agent
-------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court authorized A123 Systems Inc. and its debtor
affiliates to employ Logan & Company, Inc., as claims and noticing
agent to assume full responsibility for the distribution of
notices and the maintenance, processing and docketing of proofs of
claim filed in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors said their selection of Logan to act as the claims and
noticing agent has satisfied the Court's Protocol for the
Employment of Claims and Noticing Agents under 28 U.S.C. Sec.
156(c), in that the Debtors have obtained and reviewed engagement
proposals from at least two other court-approved claims and
noticing agents to ensure selection through a competitive process.
Moreover, the Debtors submit, based on all engagement proposals
obtained and reviewed, that Logan's rates are competitive and
reasonable given Logan's quality of services and expertise.

The terms of retention are set forth in the parties' Agreement for
Services dated Oct. 3, 2012.

Although the Debtors have not yet filed their schedules of assets
and liabilities, they anticipate that there will be in excess of
25,000 entities to be noticed.  In view of the number of
anticipated claimants and the complexity of the Debtors'
businesses, the Debtors submit that the appointment of a claims
and noticing agent is both necessary and in the best interests of
both the Debtors' estates and their creditors.

By appointing Logan as the claims and noticing agent in the
Chapter 11 Cases, the distribution of notices and the processing
of claims will be expedited, and the office of the Clerk of the
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware will be relieved of
the administrative burden of processing what may be an
overwhelming number of claims.

The Debtors also intend to file an application to employ Logan as
Administrative Advisor to perform additional services outside of
the ambit of those services covered under the Claims Agent
Application.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors provided Logan a $10,000
retainer, which Logan applied to all prepetition invoices.  Logan
seeks to have the retainer replenished to the original amount, to
the extent not already replenished prepetition, to be held under
the Logan Agreement during the Chapter 11 cases as security for
the payment of fees and expenses incurred in rendering the Logan
Services hereunder, with any remainder to be held as security for
the payment of other approved fees and expenses incurred in
rendering other services under the Logan Agreement.

The firm's Kathleen M. Logan attests that the firm is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Bankruptcy Code
Section 101(14) with respect to the matters upon which it is to
be engaged.

A123 SYSTEMS: Asks Court to Limit Equity Trading to Protect NOLs
----------------------------------------------------------------
A123 Systems Inc. and its affiliated debtors have asked the
Bankruptcy Court to issue interim and final orders establishing
notice and hearing procedures that must be satisfied before
certain transfers of A123 equity securities or of any beneficial
interest therein, are deemed effective.

The Debtors said the procedures for trading in equity securities
of A123 are necessary to protect and preserve the value of the
Debtors' tax attributes, including but not limited to, significant
net operating losses, capital losses, unrealized built-in losses,
and certain other tax and business credits.  If no restrictions on
trading are imposed by the Court, the Debtors explained, the
trading could severely limit or even eliminate the Debtors'
ability to use their Tax Attributes, which could lead to
significant negative consequences for the Debtors, their estates,
and the overall chapter 11 process.

The Debtors said they have incurred, and are currently incurring,
significant NOLs for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  For tax
periods through the 2011 tax year, the Debtors have reported on
their federal income tax returns roughly $497 million of
consolidated NOLs.  The Debtors have continued to incur NOLs in
the first three quarters of 2012 and expect to continue incurring
NOLs after the Petition Date.

While the value of the Debtors' Tax Attributes is contingent upon
the amount of the Debtors' taxable income that may be offset by
the Tax Attributes before they expire and any existing limitation
on their usage, the Debtors said the federal NOLs and other Tax
Attributes could translate into potential future tax savings for
the Debtors.

The Debtors said the NOLs are a valuable asset because the Debtors
generally can carry forward their NOLs to offset their future
taxable income and tax liability, thereby potentially freeing up
funds to meet working capital requirements and service debt.  For
example, the Debtors can carry forward federal NOLs to offset
their future taxable income for up to 20 taxable years, thereby
potentially recovering cash for the benefit of their estates and
potentially reducing their future aggregate tax obligations to the
extent NOLs remain available to be carried forward.  The NOLs may
also be available to the Debtors to offset taxable income
generated by transactions completed during the Chapter 11 cases.

Under 26 U.S.C. Section 382, the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, an ownership change occurs when the percentage,
by value, of a company's equity held by one or more persons
holding 5% or more of the stock (taking into account Options to
acquire such stock) has increased by more than 50 percentage
points over the lowest percentage of equity owned by such
shareholders at any time during the preceding three-year period or
since the last ownership change, as applicable.  If there has been
a prior ownership change, the Testing Period for determining
whether another ownership change has occurred begins on the first
day following the date of the prior ownership change.

The general purpose of Section 382 is to prevent a company with
taxable income from reducing its tax obligations by acquiring
control of another company with NOLs, unrealized built-in losses,
or certain other tax attributes.  To achieve this objective,
Section 382 limits the amount of taxable income that can be offset
by a pre-change loss to the long-term tax exempt bond rate (as
published monthly by the Treasury) as of the ownership change date
multiplied by the value of the equity of the loss corporation
immediately before the ownership change.  Built-in Losses
recognized during the five-year period after the ownership change
may be subject to similar limitations.

A123 SYSTEMS: Wants to Reject Wanxiang Bridge Loan Agreement
------------------------------------------------------------
A123 Systems Inc. and its affiliated debtors are seeking to use
the bankruptcy to terminate contracts they entered into roughly
two months ago with Chinese auto-parts maker Wanxiang Group Corp.,
and its U.S. unit, Wanxiang America Corporation, as well as avoid
penalties that may arise from the contract rejection.

In papers filed in Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors said they intend
to reject, in their discretion, an Aug. 16, 2012 bridge loan
agreement with Wanxiang and a related pledge and security
agreement, entered on the same date, out of an abundance of
caution in the event that the contracts are found to be executory
contracts.  They said the filing of the Motion to Reject is not an
admission that the contracts are executor contracts.  The Debtors
reserve all rights to contest any such characterization at any
time in the future.

The Debtors said they are not seeking to reject a purchase
agreement with Wanxiang Purchase, because that deal automatically
terminated upon the filing of the Chapter 11 cases in accordance
with its terms.

When they filed for bankruptcy, the Debtors presented to the Court
a binding offer from Johnson Controls Inc. to purchase the
Debtors' transportation business for $125 million, subject to
higher and better offers.  The sale is scheduled to close roughly
45 days after the petition date.  The Debtors will also seek to
sell their grid energy storage and commercial businesses as going
concerns.

On Thursday, the Debtors also secured approval from the judge to
borrow, on an interim basis, up to $15.5 million under a $72.5
million postpetition secured financing from Johnson Controls.

The Debtors believe that Wanxiang will take the position that the
Contracts require the Debtors to pay onerous punitive fees and
liquidated damages in the event that the Debtors sell their assets
and/or obtain any post-petition financing.  The possibility of the
triggering of any such punitive fees and liquidated damages by the
Debtors is clearly not in the best interests of their creditors
and estates.  Accordingly, the Debtors have determined, in the
exercise of their sound business judgment, that the Wanxiang
Contracts are of no benefit to their estates and in fact may
create potential secured claims against their estates;
consequently it is in the best interests of the Debtors, their
estates and their creditors to reject the Wanxiang Contracts, to
the extent they are deemed to be executory.

                        Wanxiang Bridge Loan

On Aug. 16, 2012, the Debtors entered into definitive
documentation with Wanxiang in connection with a senior secured
bridge loan facility, which documentation memorialized Wanxiang's
agreement to (a) furnish A123 with a senior secured bridge loan
facility in an amount up to $75 million through its affiliate,
Wanxiang America, and (b) purchase, subject to certain conditions,
$200 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Secured
Convertible Notes to be issued by A123 in connection with the
transaction.

Under the Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility, Wanxiang agreed to
provide the Debtors with an initial cash advance of $12.5 million
and a letter of credit facility that would result in roughly $10
million of additional liquidity for the Debtors.  The Debtors
received the Initial Wanxiang Loan on Aug. 16 and realized net
proceeds of roughly $12.5 million, although little of that money
could be accessed by the Debtors.

A123 and certain of its subsidiaries on Aug. 16 also entered into
a Pledge and Security Agreement with Wanxiang in its capacity as
agent, pursuant to which A123 and such subsidiaries granted
Wanxiang, in its capacity as agent, a security interest in
substantially all of their assets, including cash on hand and cash
proceeds of other assets, to secure the Debtors' obligations under
the Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility and the Wanxiang 8.00%
Convertible Notes.

The Debtors believe that Wanxiang has failed to perfect its
security interests on the Debtors' assets located outside the U.S.
and failed to obtain consents required to have an enforceable
security interest on certain assets located inside the U.S.

Because certain conditions had not been satisfied as of the
Petition Date, the remainder of the Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility
was not funded nor were the Wanxiang 8.00% Convertible Notes
issued.  As a result, as of the Petition Date, the Debtors owed
Wanxiang only roughly $22.67 million.

The Debtors said Section 6.12 of the Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility
provides that the Debtors and its non-Debtor subsidiaries must
"maintain on deposit cash in an aggregate amount equal to not less
than" $20 million.  As a result, although as of the Petition Date
the Debtors -- excluding their non-Debtor subsidiaries -- held
roughly $19 million in cash, due to the restrictions of the
Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility, the Debtors were unable to access
such cash.  Thus, the amount owed to Wanxiang as of the Petition
Date less cash on hand was only roughly $3.67 million.

                       Disputed Wanxiang Fees

The Debtors said Wanxiang may claim entitlement to various penalty
fees and liquidated damages clauses in contracts between Wanxiang
affiliates and the Debtors.  However, none of the penalty
provisions has yet been triggered, Wanxiang would not be able to
collect any of the penalties if its contracts with the Debtors are
rejected under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the
penalties are unenforceable under any circumstances.  As a result,
the Debtors said Wanxiang's claimed fees should, at a minimum,
pose no barrier to allowing the Court to preserve the status quo
by clarifying that nothing in the proposed Interim Order may be
deemed to have triggered any fees or penalties owed to Wanxiang or
its affiliates.

The Debtors expect that Wanxiang may argue that the DIP financing
from Johnson Controls Inc., and/or a sale of substantially all of
the Debtors' assets, will trigger two penalty provisions in the
Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility:

     -- Wanxiang may argue that it may recover a so-called
"alternative financing fee" of $13.75 million provided for in the
Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility.  Obtaining financing from any
lender other than Wanxiang or its affiliates (other than certain
permitted indebtedness, a category which would exclude the
proposed DIP financing) may trigger the Financing Fee.

     -- Wanxiang may argue it is owed a so-called "prepayment
fee".  Under the Wanxiang Bridge Loan Facility, an alternative
financing event that would trigger the Financing Fee would also
trigger the Prepayment Fee.  The Prepayment Fee is calculated at
10% of (i) the principal amount of the outstanding loans to A123
and (ii) the face amount of the outstanding letters of credit
issued to A123 that are backstopped by Wanxiang, which together
are $22.67 million.  Thus, based on the outstanding indebtedness
to A123, the Prepayment Fee would total $2.67 million.

     -- Wanxiang may argue that it should be paid a so-called
termination fee under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated Aug.
16, 2012, between A123 and Wanxiang Clean Energy USA Corp.  A123
may trigger the Termination Fee if, among other potential causes,
it enters into a merger transaction with, or agrees to be acquired
by, any entity other than a Wanxiang affiliate.  The Termination
Fee is equal to the excess (if any) of $9 million over any amount
previously paid by A123 towards the Financing Fee.

In substance, the Penalty Fees effectively award Wanxiang
liquidated damages in the event that the Debtors obtain financing
from, or engage in a strategic transaction with, any party other
than a Wanxiang affiliate.  The Penalty Fees thus serve no purpose
other than punishing the Debtors for entering into transactions
with third parties, A123 pointed out.

At the hearing Thursday on the Johnson Control DIP financing,
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for Dow Jones Newswires, reported that
Bojan Guzina, Esq., at Sidley Austin, appeared befor the Court on
behalf of Wanxiang.  Mr. Guzina told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin
Carey that his client:

     -- is still interested in A123 despite a $125 million offer
        from Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls Inc. for the battery
        maker's auto business; and

     -- made an offer on the night of Oct. 17 to finance A123's
        Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.

At the hearing, Dow Jones relates, A123's bankruptcy lawyer, D.J.
"Jan" Baker, Esq., at Latham & Watkins, told the court that
Wanxiang's bankruptcy loan -- which was slightly bigger and had a
lower interest rate -- was "frankly more advantageous" at one
point, but the company went with Johnson Controls after it had
agreed to make concessions that he said went a long way in
"leveling the playing field."  Mr. Baker added that the company
would seek approval of the Johnson Controls loan only on an
"interim" basis in order to shop for better financing terms.

Dow Jones relates Wanxiang's lawyer expressed concern that
approval of the JCI financing would "tie the company's hands" to
the JCI deal, making it too difficult for rivals bidders to make
competing offers.

The Bankruptcy Court will hold a final hearing on the DIP facility
on Oct. 26 at noon.

There's an Oct. 30 hearing on the bidding procedures.  The
procedures contemplate a Nov. 16 deadline to submit bids, a
Nov. 19 auction, and a sale hearing Nov. 26.

The JCI stalking horse bid comprises $116 million in cash, plus
$9 million in cash for the powder facility, subject to
adjustments.  All avoidance claims or causes of action available
to the Debtors are not included in the sale.

The Debtors intend to pay JCI a break-up fee of $3.75 milion and
reimbursement of up to $4 million if a sale to another party is
completed.

A123 SYSTEMS: To Cancel Contracts With BAE Systems, et al.
----------------------------------------------------------
A123 Systems Inc. and its affiliated debtors have begun reviewing
their contracts with third parties.  At the onset of the
bankruptcy cases, the Debtors filed papers seeking Court authority
to walk away from various contracts.

The Debtors said they have determined that certain contracts will
not benefit their estates or creditors.  The Debtors have
determined, after reviewing their operations and in the exercise
of their sound business judgment, that the Contracts are
burdensome to their estates and that it is in the best interests
of the Debtors, their estates and their creditors to reject the
Contracts.

The Debtors said many of the Contracts are "below market"
contracts that are no longer economical to the Debtors' estates.
Indeed, the Debtors are performing at a net loss under many of the
Contracts. Other Contracts relate to the Debtors' automotive
solutions group, which includes those of the Debtors' customers in
the automotive and transportation markets, primarily through the
delivery of battery and starter batter systems and have burdensome
warranty obligations associated with them that are no longer
beneficial to the Debtors' going-forward business.

While the Debtors have entered into a stalking horse asset
purchase agreement to sell the ASG business to Johnson Controls,
Inc., the Debtors do not believe that any of the Contracts
relating to the ASG business are Contracts that would be
attractive to a buyer in connection with the sale.

In a so-called omnibus motion, the Debtors seek permission to
reject contracts with these counterparties: BAE Systems Controls
Inc.; Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc.; BMW; Fisker Automotive Inc.;
Legendary Enterprises Inc., dba HCS Automotive; Magna E-Car
Systems GmbH & Co. OG; Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co. KG;
Navistar Inc.; Pat's Garage Inc.; Satcon Technology Corporation;
Smith Electric Vehicles US Corp.; Southern California Edison
Company; The Dr. Independent Service; Westboro Toyota; Zoll
Circulation; and Z Wheelz, LLC.

In a separate filing, the Debtors seek permission to file portions
of their consolidated creditor list/creditor matrix, schedules of
assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs, any
motion seeking to assume or reject executory contracts with any of
the counterparties, and other related documents, including
affidavits of service, under seal, where the Sealed Documents
contain information regarding the Debtors' confidential
relationship with certain contract counterparties.

The Debtors said certain contracts contain certain confidentiality
provisions that prohibit them from publically disclosing the
existence of the relationship between the parties and the
Confidential Contracts without the Counterparties' consent.  In
addition, some of the Confidential Contracts require that the
Counterparties agree to the form, content and timing of any such
disclosure.

A123 SYSTEMS: Seeks Nov. 19 Auction to Top JCI'S $125 Million Bid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that A123 Systems Inc. wants the bankruptcy judge in
Delaware to hold an Oct. 30 hearing to approve auction and sale
procedures for the automotive lithium-ion battery business.

According to the report, absent a higher bid, Johnson Controls
Inc. is already under contract to pay $125 million in cash plus
the cost of curing defaults on contracts.  The contract with
Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls requires approval of sale
procedures no later than Oct. 31.  A123 wants the judge to require
other bids by Nov. 16, followed by an auction on Nov. 19 and a
hearing to approve the sale on Nov. 26.

The report relates that Johnson Controls is buying neither cash
nor the right to bring lawsuits.  The presumptive buyer will
finance the Chapter 11 effort with a $72.5 million loan.  At a
hearing Oct. 18, the court granted interim approval to borrow
$15.5 million.

AFA FOODS: Accord Between Yucaipa and Creditors Panel Denied
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Yucaipa Cos., the owner and junior lender to AFA
Foods Inc., failed to persuade a bankruptcy judge of the virtue of
a settlement designed to generate cash to pay unsecured creditors'
claims under a liquidating Chapter 11 plan.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath in
Delaware formally turned down the settlement Oct. 18.  It would
have given Yucaipa freedom from claims and lawsuits creditors
could bring.  That was the nub of the problem.  Opposition was
mounted by lawyers for the class suit brought on behalf of workers
who were fired en masse without the 60 days' notice required by
federal and state labor laws.  They claim to have more than
$4 million in claims against AFA and Yucaipa for violation of the
so-called WARN laws.

The report relates the workers argued that a settlement not
including their claims meant the bankruptcy was headed for
failure.  They said the proposed compromise would have handed out
releases to Yucaipa and others, while forcing AFA to give up $170
million in lawsuits, including $60 million against members of the
official creditors' committee.  Had the settlement gone through,
AFA would have been forced into a Chapter 7 liquidation, the
workers argued.  The defeated settlement was designed partly to
head off a lawsuit by the official unsecured creditors' committee
challenging the validity of Yucaipa's lien.

                          About AFA Foods

King of Prussia, Pennsylvania-based AFA Foods Inc. was one of the
largest processors of ground beef products in the United States.
The Company had five processing facilities and two ancillary
facilities across the country with annual processing capacity of
800 million pounds.  AFA had seven facilities capable of producing
800 million pound of ground beef annually.  Revenue in 2011 was
$958 million.

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

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

Judge Mary Walrath presides over the case.  Lawyers at Jones Day
and Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP serve as the Debtors'
counsel.  FTI Consulting Inc. serves as financial advisors and
Imperial Capital LLC serves as marketing consultants.  Kurtzman
Carson Consultants LLC serves as noticing and claims agent.

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

Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed seven
members to the official committee of unsecured creditors in the
Chapter 11 cases of AFA Investment Inc., AFA Foods and their
debtor-affiliates.  The Committee has obtained approval to hire
McDonald Hopkins LLC as lead counsel and Potter Anderson &
Corroon LLP serves as co-counsel.  The Committee also obtained
approval to retain J.H. Cohn LLP as its financial advisor, nunc
pro tunc to April 13, 2012.

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

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

Yucaipa, the owner and junior lender, has agreed to a settlement
that would generate cash for unsecured creditors under a
liquidating Chapter 11 plan.  Under the deal, Yucaipa will receive
$11.2 million from the $14 million, with the remainder earmarked
for unsecured creditors.  Asset recoveries above $14 million will
be split with Yucaipa receiving 90% and creditors 10%.  Proceeds
from lawsuits will be divided roughly 50-50.

In return, Yucaipa will receive release from claims and lawsuits
the creditors might otherwise bring.  An affiliate of Yucaipa has
a $71.6 million second lien and would claim the remaining assets
absent settlement.


ALL AMERICAN PET: Haskell & White Replaces De Joya as Accountants
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All American Pet Company, Inc., dismissed on Oct. 12, 2012, De
Joya Griffith, LLC, as its independent registered public
accounting firm and engaged Haskell & White LLP as its new
independent registered public accounting firm effective
immediately.  The Company's Board of Directors participated in and
approved the decision to change independent registered public
accounting firms.

Other than an explanatory statement included in De Joya Griffith,
LLC's audit report for the Company's fiscal year ended Dec. 31,
2011, relating to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, the audit report of De Joya Griffith
& Company, LLC, on the Company's financial statements for the last
two fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2010, did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer opinion, nor was it
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.

During the Company's 2011 and 2010 fiscal years and through
Oct. 17, 2012, there were no disagreements with De Joya Griffith,
LLC, on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to De Joya Griffith, LLC's
satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their
report, and there were no reportable events as that term is
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the Company's 2011 and 2010 fiscal years and through the
date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company did not
consult with Haskell & White LLP regarding any matters.

substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Faulted By Hedge Funds Over Closed Talks
-----------------------------------------------------------
David McLaughlin at Bloomberg News reports that Appaloosa
Management LP and Marathon Asset Management LP said American
Airlines isn't being "sufficiently transparent" as the carrier
holds talks with a creditor group about its bankruptcy
restructuring.

According to the report, AMR Corp., American's parent, is
providing confidential information to the group and negotiating
with it about a reorganization "to the exclusion of" nonunion
unsecured creditors, the hedge funds said in an Oct. 18 letter to
AMR Chief Executive Officer Tom Horton.  "Allowing a limited group
of creditors to influence the debtors' restructuring process
without input from a broader representation of creditors is not
only inappropriate, but also risks the loss of value of the
debtors' estates for all of their constituents as a whole,"
Appaloosa and Marathon said in the letter, a copy of which was
obtained by Bloomberg News.

The report relates that American, which filed for bankruptcy last
year, is negotiating with a creditor group that the company says
may provide financing for its reorganization.  The Fort Worth,
Texas-based carrier won permission last month from a federal
bankruptcy judge to pay the fees of the group's advisers as talks
proceed.  The group includes JPMorgan Chase & Co., Claren Road
Asset Management and Pentwater Capital Management, according to
court papers.  Gerard Uzzi, an attorney for the group, didn't
respond to an e-mail seeking comment on the Oct. 18 letter, which
was earlier reported by the Wall Street Journal.  "Our objective
thorough strategic review of all alternatives is appropriately
focused solely on creating maximum value for all stakeholders,"
AMR spokesman Michael Trevino said in an e-mailed statement.

                        'Critical Mass'

The report notes that Appaloosa and Marathon said the creditor
group's unsecured debt holdings in the bankruptcy case don't
constitute "the critical mass" needed to move the restructuring in
a "positive direction."  The hedge funds said that based on their
understanding, talks between the creditor group and American have
focused on a discounted rights offering that some group members
would like to backstop "apparently regardless of whether
additional equity financing is advisable or whether a merger or
other alternative would provide more value."

According to Bloomberg, American has agreed to share financial
information with US Airways Group Inc., the Tempe, Arizona-based
carrier that backs a merger of the two airlines.  American is
scheduled to ask U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane at an Oct. 30
court hearing to extend to Jan. 28 its exclusive right to file a
plan.  American said it needs more time as it considers strategic
alternatives.

The Bloomberg report discloses that the structure of AMR's
reorganization "can only be achieved through a transparent process
that engages all major stakeholders, not just parties that have
agreed to support an alternative that may be preferred by" the
company's management, Appaloosa and Marathon said.

ATP OIL: Unit's District Court Proceedings Stayed Until Dec. 19
---------------------------------------------------------------
A hearing was held on Oct. 11, 2012, before the District Court of
Tel Aviv-Jaffa regarding ATP East Med Number 1 B.V., an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of ATP Oil & Gas Corporation.  The hearing
concerned an application for a Stay of Proceedings that was filed
by two of ATP East Med 1's creditors, Franks International Inc.
and Franks Tubulars International Ltd.

The District Court has issued a Stay of Proceeding order which
will be in effect until Dec. 19, 2012.

ATP East Med 1's request to be a joint administrator during the
Stay of Proceedings Period, through the appointment of an
accountant on its behalf, together with an attorney on behalf of
International and Mediterranean Oilfield Services Limited, ATP
East Med 1's largest creditor, was denied in favor of the
appointment of Franks' attorney, as a joint administrator with
IMOS' attorney.

ATP East Med 1 no longer has any authority to operate
independently.  Accordingly, during the Stay of Proceedings
Period, the Administrators will serve as ATP East Med 1's
managers, in place of its current management, and will be the sole
authority in all of ATP East Med 1's affairs, including the
transaction for the sale of ATP East Med 1's working interests in
properties located in the Mediterranean Sea.  The Administrators
have indicated that they will act with the assistance of ATP East
Med 1's management.

ATP East Med 1's bank accounts will be transferred to a new bank
account that will be controlled by the Administrators.

All attachment orders, which were previously issued by the Israeli
courts on ATP East Med 1's assets in Israel, will be annulled.

The Administrators will formulate a recovery plan and a creditors'
composition for ATP East Med 1, which will be subject to the
approval of ATP East Med 1's creditors and the District Court.

As previously disclosed, ATP East Med 1 and Moncrief Oil
International Inc. entered into an agreement pursuant to which ATP
East Med 1 granted to Moncrief, or an affiliate of Moncrief, an
option to purchase all of the Working Interests with the approval
of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Company expects that the
Administrators will, in furtherance of their authority in all of
ATP East Med 1's affairs, consider the previously announced
agreement with Moncrief. However, the Administrators may also
consider other potential transactions with respect to the Working
Interests.  As the Company owns 5% working interests in each of
the fields in which ATP East Med 1 owns its 35% Working Interests,
the Company anticipates coordinating with the Administrators
through its bankruptcy proceedings to either jointly complete a
transaction with Moncrief or, if necessary, an alternative
transaction that maximizes the recovery for those assets for the
benefit of both entities.

BACK YARD BURGERS: Has Plan Deal With Harbert
---------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Back Yard Burgers Inc. filed a Chapter 11 petition to
effect a previously negotiated restructuring with Harbert
Mezzanine Partners II LP, the holder of an $8.9 million mezzanine
loan.

According to the report, the Nashville-based company blamed the
recession and above market leases for financial problems resulting
in a $2.4 million loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization over the first eight months of 2012.  Revenue from
restaurant operations for the period was $18.4 million.

The report relates that the company owns 25 locations.  The
remainder is franchised.  The stores are in the southeastern U.S.;
19 locations were closed before bankruptcy.  In addition to
revenue from the owned stores, the franchise business generated
$1.3 million of revenue this year through August.  The
reorganization is to be financed with a $2.9 million loan.

The Bloomberg report discloses that details about the agreement
with Harbert weren't disclosed in court filings by early this
morning.  The business is controlled by private-equity investor
Pharos Capital Partners II LP, which invested $14 million to
sustain the money-losing operations, according to a court filing.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also attempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

Portland, Oregon-based Beall Corporation, a manufacturer of
lightweight, efficient, and durable tanker trucks, trailers and
related products, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr.
D. Ore. Case No. 12-37291) on Sept. 24, 2012, estimating at least
$10 million in assets and liabilities.  Founded in 1905, Beall has
four factories and nine sale branches across the U.S.  The Debtor
has 285 employees, with an average weekly payroll of $300,000.

Judge Elizabeth L. Perris presides over the case.  The Debtor has
tapped Tonkon Torp LLP as counsel.

BR MALLS: Fitch Assigns BB Rating to New USD175MM Perpetual Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB' rating to BR Malls International
Finance Limited's (Finco) proposed perpetual notes of up to USD175
million.  The notes will be unconditionally and irrevocably,
jointly and severally, guaranteed by BRMALLS Participacoes S.A.
(BRMALLS) and its subsidiaries: ECISA Engenharia, Comercio e
Industria Ltda., ECISA Participacoes Ltda., and Proffito Holding
Participacoes S.A.  Proceeds will be used to refinance existing
debt as part of the company's liability management program.
Fitch currently rates BR MALLS and its fully owned subsidiary,
Finco, as follows:

BR MALLS Participacoes S.A. (BRMALLS):

  -- Foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR), 'BB';
  -- Local currency IDR, 'BB';
  -- Long-term national scale rating, 'AA-(bra)';
  -- BRL320 million local debentures, first and second tranches
     due in 2014 and 2016, respectively, 'AA-(bra)'.

BR Malls International Finance Limited (Finco):

  -- Foreign currency IDR at 'BB';
  -- USD175 million perpetual notes, 'BB'.
  -- USD230 million perpetual notes, 'BB'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

BRMALLS' ratings reflect its dominant business position as the
largest shopping center operator in Brazil.  The company's
portfolio consists of 48 shopping centers as of June 30, 2012,
generating stable and predictable cash flows from a diversified
geographical property revenue base.  The company has low working
capital requirements and renters are responsible for most
maintenance expenses.  The ratings also factor in BRMALLS' organic
and inorganic growth strategy, and the potential delayed effects
of integrating acquired assets and/or leasing new developments.
These factors are partially offset by the company's adequate cash
position, large pool of unencumbered assets, and successful track
record in selecting and assimilating acquisitions while
maintaining a stable credit profile.

The Stable Outlook reflects the expectation that BRMALLS will
continue to deliver positive operating results based on its strong
market position, the quality of its assets, and its proven ability
to implement its growth strategy while increasing cash flow
generation.  These expectations are contingent on the company
maintaining good liquidity and an adequate capital structure while
it pursues its growth objectives.

Business Model Conducive To Stable and Growing Cash Flow
Generation:

BRMALLS' revenues are stable as a result of its lease portfolio
that provides it with a base of fixed-rent income with staggered
lease expirations.  The company's growth trajectory can be seen in
its revenues for 2010, 2011, and the latest 12 months (LTM) to
June 30, 2012 with BRL546 million, BRL862 million, and BRL992
million achieved, respectively.  BRMALLS' EBITDA for the LTM
period ended June 30, 2012 was BRL791 million, which compares
positively with its EBITDA levels of BRL431 million and BRL319
million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The company's EBITDA
margins have remained stable at around 80% during the 2010-2012
period. BRMALLS' EBITDA for 2012 is expected to be around BRL900
million.

Debt Refinancing Incorporated In Ratings; Incremental Debt
Increase Not Expected:

BRMALLS is currently implementing a debt refinancing plan to
reduce its financial costs and improve its debt repayment profile.
This plan includes the announced re-tap of the USD230 million
perpetual bonds issued in January 2011.  The total add-in will be
up to USD175 million and the transaction proceeds will be used to
call the company's other perpetual bonds issued in November 2007
(USD175 million).  The company is also planning the issuance of a
local currency structured finance transaction of up to BRL500
million to refinance current debt and improve its debt repayment
schedule.  The placements of both transactions are expected to be
completed during October 2012.

Gross leverage is expected to remain stable. The company's gross
leverage measured as the total debt to EBITDA ratio -- including
liabilities related to shopping mall acquisitions -- was 5.3 times
(x) at the end of June 2012.  The ratings incorporate the view
that BRMALLS' gross leverage would remain in the 5x to 6x range in
the medium term.  By the end of June 2012, the company's total
debt was BRL4.2 billion.  The main components of the company's
total debt were bank loans (30%), perpetual bonds denominated in
U.S. dollars (20%), Real Estate Credit Certificates (19%); local
debentures maturing in 2014 and 2016 (10%), and liabilities
related to shopping mall acquisitions for BRL476 million (11%).

Liquidity Has Declined But Remains Manageable:

The company's cash position has declined to BRL436 million during
the LTM to June 30, 2012 from BRL1.3 billion in June 2011.  This
decrease was driven primarily by the company's development and
acquisition capex totaling approximately BRL2 billion.  Including
liabilities related to shopping mall acquisitions, BRMALLS faces
debt amortizations of approximately BRL539 million during the next
12 month period ending June 30, 2013. These payments are expected
to be paid with a combination of cash on balance sheet, internal
cash flow generation and debt refinancing.

By the end of June 2012, the company exhibited a total gross
leaseable areas (GLA) and owned GLA of 1,513,000 square meters and
856 thousand, respectively, with a property value of approximately
BRL13 billion.  BRMALLS also maintains good levels of unencumbered
assets; approximately 40% of the company's owned GLA are available
and free of any lien that the company could use in the future to
access liquidity.

The ratings factor-in the expectation that BRMALLS will maintain
adequate gross leverage of around 5.5x debt/EBITDA over the next
two years and sufficient liquidity while implementing its growth
program.  An upgrade or Positive Outlook could occur as a result
of a high cash position relative to the company's short-term debt,
and an improvement in the company's interest coverage and debt
service coverage ratios.  Conversely, a combination of the
following factors could lead to a negative rating action:
aggressive capex and adverse macroeconomic trends leading to
weaker credit metrics and significant distributed dividends and
increasing vacancy rates financed by debt.


BUILDERS FIRSTSOURCE: Incurs $13.5-Mil. Third Quarter Net Loss
--------------------------------------------------------------
Builders FirstSource, Inc., reported a net loss of $13.56 million
on $291.78 million of sales for the three months ended Sept. 30,
2012, compared with a net loss of $11.56 million on $217.19
million of sales for the same period during the prior year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012, the Company reported a
net loss of $44.81 million on $783.08 million of sales, compared
with a net loss of $48.29 million on $586.41 million of sales for
the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$498.77 million in total assets, $439.91 million in total
liabilities and $58.86 million in total stockholders' equity.

"Sales for the third quarter of 2012 were $291.8 million, an
increase of 34.3 percent when compared to the third quarter of
2011.  Our topline growth continues to exceed the increase in
residential construction activity, as actual single-family housing
starts in the South Region increased 27.7 percent over the same
time period and single-family units under construction increased
only 12.4 percent," said Builders FirstSource Chief Executive
Officer Floyd Sherman.  "For the second consecutive quarter, we
reported positive Adjusted EBITDA, finishing with $3.0 million for
the current quarter as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.7
million in the third quarter of 2011, and on a year-to-date basis,
our Adjusted EBITDA has improved from a loss of $11.7 million in
2011 to positive $3.0 million in 2012."

Mr. Sherman added, "We are seeing stronger sales trends as the
housing market continues to recover, and our recent market share
gains have also certainly contributed to our improving sales.  Our
sales growth and increased operating efficiencies drove the
improvement in our financial results for the quarter."

S&P also affirmed its 'CCC' corporate credit rating on the
company.

"The outlook revision reflects our assessment that Builders

expect the building products manufacturer and distributor to post
positive annual EBITDA for the first time since 2007, albeit at
very low levels," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst James

position the company to refinance some of its expensive floating

the next 12 months."


CALIFORNIA: Working on Early Warning System for Muni Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that California is working on an early warning system
intended to identify localities with financial problems and
thereby avert more municipal bankruptcy filings, state Treasurer
Bill Lockyer said.  Stockton, California, filed for Chapter 9
municipal bankruptcy in June, followed over the next six weeks by
San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes.


DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Insurance Can Pay Up to $6.75 Million for Defense
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP agreed that as much as
$6.75 million from a $25 million insurance policy can be used to
pay defense costs for firm managers defending lawsuits.

According to the report, XL Specialty Insurance Co. filed papers
in August for authority to pay defense costs incurred by those
covered by the policy.  Dewey initially opposed and later
negotiated a so-called soft cap where $6.75 million can be paid.

The report relates that the agreement, approved yesterday by the
bankruptcy court in New York, allows XL to ask for increases in
the cap.  Payments for defense costs reduced the $25 million
policy limit.  Dewey has two official committees, one for
unsecured creditors and the other for former partners.  The firm
once had 1,300 lawyers before liquidation began under Chapter 11
in May.

The Bloomberg report discloses that there was secured debt of
about $225 million and accounts receivable of $217.4 million at
the outset of bankruptcy, the firm said.  The petition listed
assets of $193 million and liabilities of $245.4 million as of
April 30.

                       About Dewey & LeBoeuf

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

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

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

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

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

Judge Martin Glenn oversees the case.  Albert Togut, Esq., at
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, represents the Debtor.  Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions LLC serves as claims and notice agent.  The petition was
signed by Jonathan A. Mitchell, chief restructuring officer.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Revolver Agent on behalf of the
lenders under the Revolver Agreement, hired Kramer Levin Naftalis
& Frankel LLP.  JPMorgan, as Collateral Agent for the Revolver
Lenders and the Noteholders, hired FTI Consulting and Gulf
Atlantic Capital, as financial advisors.  The Noteholders hired
Bingham McCutchen LLP as counsel.

The U.S. Trustee formed two committees -- one to represent
unsecured creditors and the second to represent former Dewey
partners.  The creditors committee hired Brown Rudnick LLP led by
Edward S. Weisfelner, Esq., as counsel.  The Former Partners hired
Tracy L. Klestadt, Esq., and Sean C. Southard, Esq., at Klestadt &
Winters, LLP, as counsel.


CAPITOL CITY: Amends First Quarter Form 10-Q
--------------------------------------------
Capitol City Bancshares, Inc., filed an amendment to its Form 10-Q
which amends and restates the Company's quarterly report for the
period ended March 31, 2012, that was originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2012.

The amendment was filed to reflect revisions to Note 9 of the
condensed consolidated financial statements to include additional
information relating to the fair value of assets and liabilities
and the valuation techniques for fair value measurements.  In
addition, Note 14 of the condensed consolidated financial
statements has been added to include additional detail regarding
the Company's amended financial statements filed on Aug. 10, 2012.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company made certain
adjustments to its books based upon the final results of a
regulatory examination that concluded during this time.  After a
review of its loan portfolio, it was determined that an additional
allowance for loan loss should be established of $550,000 and
certain partial charge-offs of $784,367 should be made of several
residential and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans.  Each
loan with a corresponding charge-off was considered impaired at
March 31, 2012, and all amounts charged-off were included in the
specific reserves as of March 31, 2012.  The regulatory
examination also required that a portion of one of the Company's
investments be considered other than temporary impairment and a
corresponding charge of $262,437 is reflected in the Company's
amended financial statements for the first quarter of 2012.  A
third adjustment was required by the examiners to increase the
valuation reserve for foreclosed real estate.  These adjustments
were based on the regulatory examiners' judgments about
information that was available to them at the time of their
examination.  The adjustments pursuant to the regulatory
examination were required to be effective as of March 31, 2012.

The Company's restated statements of operations reflect a net loss
of $762,657 on $3.56 million of total interest income for the
three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with net income of
$148,280 on $3.56 million of total interest income as originally
reported.

The Company's amended balance sheet at March 31, 2012, showed
$298.37 million in total assets, $290.19 million in total
liabilities and $8.17 million in total stockholders' equity.
The Company previously reported $299.28 million in total assets,
$290.19 million in total liabilities and $9.08 million in total
stockholders' equity.

                         About Capitol City

Atlanta, Georgia-based Capitol City Bancshares, Inc., was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia for the
purposes of serving as a bank holding company for Capitol City
Bank and Trust Company.  The Bank operates a full-service banking
business and engages in a broad range of commercial banking
activities, including accepting customary types of demand and
timed deposits, making individual, consumer, commercial, and
installment loans, money transfers, safe deposit services, and
making investments in U.S. government and municipal securities.

As reported in the TCR on April 17, 2012, Nichols, Cauley and
Associates, LLC, in Atlanta, Georgia, expressed substantial doubt
about Capital City Bancshares' ability to continue as a going
concern, following the Company's results for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011.  The independent auditors noted that the Company is
operating under regulatory orders to, among other items, increase
capital and maintain certain levels of minimum capital.  "As of
Dec. 31, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with these
capital requirements.  In addition to its deteriorating capital
position, the Company has suffered significant losses related to
nonperforming assets, has experienced declining levels of liquid
assets, and has significant maturities of liabilities within the
next twelve months."

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$296.6 million in total assets, $287.4 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $9.2 million.

                      Required Capital Levels

In January 2010, the Bank received a consent order from the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Georgia Department
of Banking and Finance.  The Order is a formal corrective action
pursuant to which the Bank has agreed to address specific issues,
through the adoption and implementation of procedures, plan and
policies designed to enhance the safety and soundness of the Bank.

According to the regulatory filing, the Bank has not achieved the
required capital levels mandated by the Order.

"The continuing level of problem loans as of the quarter ended
June 30, 2012, and capital levels continuing to be in the "under
capitalized" category of the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action as of June 30, 2012, continue to create
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  There can be no assurance that any capital raising
activities or other measures will allow the Bank to meet the
capital levels required in the Order.  Non-compliance with the
capital requirements of the Order and other provisions of the
Order may cause the Bank to be subject to further enforcement
actions by the FDIC or the Department."


CAVE LAKES: Wants Chapter 11 Case Dismissed
-------------------------------------------
Cave Lakes Canyon LLC has asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for an
order dismissing its chapter 11 case.  Cave Lakes said it no
longer has any assets.  The Debtor recounted that Holt Family
Holdings won relief from the automatic stay with respect to the
Debtor's real property, and there is no chance of reorganization
without the property.  Holt Family Holdings was owed $3.41 million
under a promissory note.

The Debtor owns a project "Cave Lakes Canyon" (the property) and
ordered an appraisal.  Unfortunately, the Debtor only had received
a "Verbal Appraisal Report," which gave the property an "as-is"
value of $17,300,000.

Cake Lakes borrowed $3,500,000 from Holt Family Holding pursuant
to the terms of a Promissory Note, which was secured by a Deed of
Trust, granting Holt a lien and security interest in the Property
and water rights as described therein.

Payments under the Promissory Note were for interest only, with a
balloon payment due on or before Sept. 10, 2011.

On March 28, 2011, Cake Lakes paid $625,000, the approximate
amount of interest due, plus partial pay down on the principal
Note, so the balance due and owing as of May 1, 2012 was
$3,411,631.

Unfortunately, a partner the Debtor bought in was unable to
fulfill its promises and obligation, causing the Debtor to fall
behind once again and necessitated its filing of the bankruptcy.

Cave Lakes and Holt restructured the Promissory Note by extending
it for one year to Sept. 10, 2012, and by further providing for
interest-only-payments.

Cake Lakes and Holt also entered into and recorded an Amendment to
Trust Deed with Assignment of Rents reflecting the changes in the
Restructured Promissory Note.

China Precision Steel, Inc., filed on Oct. 15, 2012, its annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Moore Stephens CPAs, in Hong Kong, expressed substantial doubt
about China Precision's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered a
very significant loss in the year ended June 30, 2012, and
defaulted on interest and principal repayments of bank borrowings.

"In June and July 2012, we defaulted on the repayment obligations

We are currently in discussions with our banks regarding the
restructuring of these loans for repayment but have not yet agreed
on specific terms."

The Company reported a net loss of $16.9 million on $143.0 million
of revenues in fiscal 2012, compared with net income of $256,950

loss of $13,939,603 for the year ended June 30, 2012, from
$3,418,390 for the year ended June 30, 2011."

Gross profit in absolute terms decreased by $11.8 million, or
197.3%, year-on-year, to a loss of $5.8 million for the year ended
June 30, 2012, from profit of $6.0 million for the year ended

CIRCLE ENTERTAINMENT: Borrows $75,000 from Directors, Officers
--------------------------------------------------------------
Certain of the directors, executive officers and greater than 10%
stockholders of Circle Entertainment Inc. made unsecured demand
loans to the Company totaling $75,000, bearing interest at the
rate of 6% per annum.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Loans to fund
working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.
Because certain of the directors, executive officers and greater
than 10% stockholders of the Company made the Loans, a majority of
the Company's independent directors approved the transaction.

or commitments for such financing to develop and commercialize its
new location-based entertainment line of business.

Circle Entertainment's ability to continue as a going concern,
following the Company's results for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31,
2011.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has limited available cash, has a working capital deficiency and
will need to secure new financing or additional capital in order

CIRCUS AND ELDORADO: Has Accord With Creditors on $142.8MM Debt
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill O'Driscoll at RGJ.com reports that the owner of Silver Legacy
Resort Casino reached an agreement to settle its $142.8 million
debt with creditors and emerge from five months in bankruptcy
protection.

According to the report, details of the plan, which will go before
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Reno, Nevada, for approval, were
limited.

The report, citing a news release, says officials said it calls
for a new $70 million loan that with cash and new second lien
notes has the "overwhelming support" of the hotel-casino's
creditors.

The report relates, in addition, the agreement keeps the current
ownership and management structure in place, led by Gary Carano,
CEO of Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture which has operated the
35-story, 1,700-room complex since it opened in 1995 at a cost of
$350 million.

"We are excited that all the litigation in our case has settled
. . . we are looking forward to Silver Legacy's future as a
financially stronger company," the report quotes Mr. Carano said
in the news release announcing the agreement.

The report relates the resort has operated under court protection
since Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy on May 17, more than three months after announcing it
could not pay the $142.8 million debt by the March 1 due date.
The debt is part of a $160 million loan originally issued in 2002
at an interest rate of 10.125%, and progress in negotiations
prompted three deadline extensions before bankruptcy was filed,
the report adds.

According to the report, longtime Reno gaming expert Bill
Eadington said that, assuming the agreement is cleared by the
bankruptcy court next week, the settlement assures the standout
structure on downtown Reno's skyline will remain a cog in the
region's economy.

debtors in the Chapter 11 cases.

The Company did not make the required principal payment of its
10.125% mortgage notes on the maturity date of March 1, 2012.  The
company also elected not to make the scheduled interest payment.

As a result, an aggregate of $142.8 million principal amount of
Notes were outstanding and accrued interest of $7.23 million on
the Notes, as of March 1, 2012, is due and payable.

The Debtors have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement

COLLEGE BOOK: Owners Agree to Bankruptcy, Chapter 11 Trustee
------------------------------------------------------------
Hawkins Teague at Murray Ledger & Times reports that the owners of
College Book Rental Company have consented to the Chapter 11 case
and the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee to run CBR, according
to CBR's lawyer, Bill Norton of the Nashville law firm Bradley
Arant Boult Cumming LLP.

The report says the Court approved the agreement last week and
appointed Robert H. Waldschmidt as a "panel trustee" for the
company.

The report relates Mr. Norton said he has two weeks to put
together a schedule of assets and liabilities for the company.  He
said significant claims had been asserted by multiple parties,
including two publishing companies, so the amounts owed will have
to be determined.

CBR is co-owned by Chuck Jones of Murray and David Griffin of
Nashville, Tenn.  Mr. Griffin sued Mr. Jones in February over CBR
and several other companies in which he had invested, but that
case was settled in September.  According to the report, as part
of the agreement for the settlement, a consultant was brought in
to run CBR and several other companies.

The report relates CBR then sued Mr. Jones and several other
parties last month, but that case was dismissed earlier last week.
As part of that dismissal, the consultant will no longer be
running CBR or the other companies.  However, an intervening
complaint was filed in the case by Security Bank & Trust Company
of Paris, Tenn. and still stands.

Four creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition
against Murray, Kentucky-based College Book Rental Company, LLC
(Bankr. M.D. Ky. Case No. 12-09130) in Nashville on Oct. 4, 2012.
Bankruptcy Judge Marian F. Harrison oversees the case.  The
petitioning creditors are represented by Joseph A. Kelly, Esq., at
Frost Brown Todd LLC.  The petitioning creditors are David
Griffin, allegedly owed $15 million for money loaned; Commonwealth
Economics, allegedly owed $15,000 for unpaid services provided;
John Wittman, allegedly owed $158 for unpaid services provided;
and CTI Communications, allegedly owed $21,793 for unpaid services
provided.


COMMUNITY MEMORIAL: WIPFLI LLP OK'd for Tax Return Preparation
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
authorized Community Memorial Hospital to employ WIPFLI LLP to
provide tax return and cost report preparation services.

WIPFLI LLP is expected to prepare the tax returns and Medicare and
Michigan Medicaid cost reports for the Debtor.  Specifically,
WIPFLI will:

   a. interact with the Debtor's staff to obtain the necessary
      financial, hospital cost and revenue data;

   b. assist the Debtor in preparing the cost reports;

   c. prepare Cost Reports for the year ended March 31, 2012; and

   d. prepare the Tax Returns for the year ended March 31, 2012.

The Debtor will pay WIPFLI a fixed fee of $16,000 for the
preparations of the cost reports.  In the event that circumstances
are encountered during the preparation of the cost reports that
warrant additional procedures or expenses, WIPFLI will immediately
notify the Court and the Debtor.  Further, WIPFLI will charge the
Debtor a fixed fee of $5,000 for the preparation of the tax
returns plus clerical processing and direct expenses associated
therewith.

The combined fee of $21,000 associated with the preparation
services was agreed to by Citizens National Bank of Cheboygan, the
United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Trustee
and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and approved by
this Court as part of the Debtor's wind down budget.

Prior to the Petition Date, WIPFLI was employed as an ordinary
course professional assisting the Debtor in various accounting and
consulting matters relating to the preparation of cost reports and
tax returns.  According to WIPFLI's books and records, in the two
years preceding the Petition Date, WIPFLI received $82,413 from
the Debtor for services rendered and expenses incurred.  As of the
date of this application, the Debtor has no outstanding balance
owed to Wipfli for services rendered prepetition.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, WIPFLI does not hold any
interest materially adverse to the Debtor or the estate.

Hospital, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case
No. 12-20666) on March 1, 2012.  Judge Daniel S. Opperman oversees
the case.  Paul W. Linehan, Esq., at McDonald Hopkins LLC,
represents the Debtor as counsel.  The Debtor's financial advisor
is Conway Mackenzie Inc.  The Debtor disclosed $23,085,273 in
assets and $26,329,103 in liabilities.

Opened in 1942, the Debtor is an independent, not-for-profit
entity, organized exclusively for charitable, scientific and
educational purposes, and holds tax exempt status in accordance

substantially all of the Debtor's assets as authorized by the sale
order.


CORPORATE EXECUTIVE: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Arlington, Va.-based
The Corporate Executive Board Co. (CEB) its 'BB-' corporate credit
rating. The rating outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we assigned the company's $625 million senior
secured credit facility our 'BB-' issue-level rating (the same as
the corporate credit rating on the company) with a recovery rating
of '3', indicating our expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default. The credit
facility consists of a $275 million term loan A due 2017, a $250
million term loan B due 2019, and a $100 million revolving credit
facility due 2017. CEB used the proceeds and some cash on the
balance sheet to fund its acquisition of SHL Group Ltd.," S&P said

"The 'BB-' rating reflects our expectation that CEB's operating
performance will be solid, that it will generate good
discretionary cash flow, and that it will gradually reduce debt
leverage through a combination of EBITDA growth and debt
repayment," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Liu.

"We view CEB's business risk profile as 'fair' (according to our
criteria) based on the stable and diverse subscription revenues it
derives from its research and benchmarking studies on operational
improvement topics, high client renewals, and good EBITDA margin.
Clients use these research studies and other CEB tools to diagnose
issues and improve business operations. This can be more cost-
effective than seeking assistance from business consultants. We
view CEB's financial risk as 'aggressive' (according to our
criteria) based on its high pro forma debt leverage, a focus on
returning cash to shareholders, and the potential, in our view,
for ongoing acquisition activity. Pro forma for the acquisition of
SHL, debt leverage was relatively high, at 4x as of June 30, 2012.
We expect CEB to continue increasing its dividend distributions to
shareholders and to maintain an active share repurchase program,"
S&P said.

"CEB provides research studies and analytical tools to corporate
executives. It derives about 90% of its revenue from annual
subscriptions for research products in the areas of human
resources, sales and marketing, finance, technology, and legal.
SHL provides online talent assessments to help employers make
personnel decisions. The acquisition of SHL broadens CEB's
offering in the human resources area and provides opportunities
for cross-selling. Given the level of product specialization, we
believe cross-selling could take longer to achieve. Both companies
benefit from very high renewal rates. CEB's customer retention
rate is very high and client loss at SHL is infrequent.
Additionally, the customer base for the combined company is well-
diversified, with the top 10 customers accounting for less than 3%
of revenue in 2011," S&P said.


DIGITAL DOMAIN: Florida Seeks to Recoup $20MM in Incentives
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Ostrowski at Palm Beach Post reports that, after its largest
cash-for-jobs flop, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity
is asking state lawmakers for $500,000 to pay attorneys to pursue
incentives paid to Digital Domain Media Group.

According to the report, the agency paid $20 million in cash to
movie effects company Digital Domain in four installments in 2009,
2010 and 2011.  Now that Digital Domain has filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection and fired its nearly 300 Florida workers,
the agency is seeking the money back.

The report relates Carolyn Gosselin, spokeswoman for the
Department of Economic Opportunity, declined to comment on the
state's chances of success.  When Florida attempted to pry
$2 million in incentives from Boca Raton-based DayJet after the
on-demand airline filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, the
state got nothing.

The report notes bankruptcy filings indicated that the state might
have more luck with Digital Domain than with DayJet.  Digital
Domain's creditors are considering lawsuits against John Textor
and other directors and officers of Digital Domain.

The report says, if successful, those suits would tap into so-
called director and officer insurance policies carried by Digital
Domain's officers.  Those policies pay claims should company
directors lose lawsuits involving their stewardship of a company.

The report adds Digital Domain has a deal to sell its studios in
Venice, Calif., and Vancouver for $30 million.  The company's
largest secured lender, Tenor Capital of New York, is owed
$68 million.

The report says the attorneys and reorganization specialists
involved in the case also must be paid.  Bankruptcy attorneys
involved in the case have requested fees as high as $1,000 an
hour, while FTI Consulting of West Palm Beach has been promised a
$1.56 million fee and monthly fees of at least $130,000.
Despite those cash drains on Digital Domain's limited assets,
attorneys for Digital Domain's unsecured creditors still could get
paid.

According to the report, the attorneys said they are investigating
lawsuits against Digital Domain's directors and officers and will
decide by Dec. 15 whether to file litigation.

The report relates John Textor, a Hobe Sound resident and the
former chief executive of Digital Domain Media Group, in 2009
persuaded state lawmakers to give his company $20 million to set
up a digital animation studio in Florida.  Port St. Lucie later
issued $40 million in bonds to build the studio, and West Palm
Beach offered land and other incentives to convince Digital Domain
to open a film school with Florida State University.

The report adds, in all, Digital Domain was promised $135 million
in cash, financing, land and tax credits.

EASTMAN KODAK: Judge Denies RIM's Bid to Cut Patent Claims
----------------------------------------------------------
Scott Flaherty at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that U.S. District
Judge Ed Kinkeade on Monday shot down Research In Motion Ltd.'s
attempt to narrow part of a patent dispute with Eastman Kodak Co.

In a one-page order, Judge Kinkeade denied RIM's motion for
partial summary judgment in an action the BlackBerry maker brought
seeking a declaration that it did not infringe a handful of Kodak
patents on camera and digital imaging technology, according to
Bankruptcy Law360.

                        About Eastman Kodak

Rochester, New York-based Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S.
subsidiaries on Jan. 19, 2012, filed voluntarily Chapter 11
petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-10202) in Manhattan.
Subsidiaries outside of the U.S. were not included in the filing
and are expected to continue to operate as usual.

Kodak, founded in 1880 by George Eastman, was once the world's
leading producer of film and cameras.  Kodak sought bankruptcy
protection amid near-term liquidity issues brought about by
steeper-than-expected declines in Kodak's historically profitable
traditional businesses, and cash flow from the licensing and sale
of intellectual property being delayed due to litigation tactics
employed by a small number of infringing technology companies with
strong balance sheets and an awareness of Kodak's liquidity
challenges.

In recent years, Kodak has been working to transform itself from a
business primarily based on film and consumer photography to a
smaller business with a digital growth strategy focused on the
commercialization of proprietary digital imaging and printing
technologies.  Kodak has 8,900 patent and trademark registrations
and applications in the United States, as well as 13,100 foreign
patents and trademark registrations or pending registration in
roughly 160 countries.

As of July 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of
$3.93 billion, total liabilities of $5.32 billion and total
stockholders' deficit of $1.39 billion.

ELPIDA MEMORY: Creditors Seek to Unseal Technology Sale Documents
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Japan's Elpida Memory Inc. made its argument for
preventing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the
University of Maryland from suing for patent infringement and
seeking what the patent holders call "significant damages."

According to the report, the company's official creditors'
committee filed papers opposing efforts by Elpida to make a secret
out of information about technology sales.  Elpida says the two
universities didn't file claims on time in the company's Japanese
bankruptcy.  Now that they have been allowed to file late claims,
pursuing lawsuits in the U.S. would be "needlessly duplicative and
wasteful," Elpida said in a court filing.

The report relates that with regard to commercial transactions
being kept secret, the committee argues that the U.S. court isn't
bound to maintain secrecy simply because that's the procedure in
Japan.  In the U.S., the committee says, there is a "strong
presumption" against secrecy.  The committee contends that "almost
none" of the redacted information is "trade secret or confidential
research."  Among other things, the committee wants to know the
terms of transactions, the amounts being paid, and the identity of
the technology being transferred.

The report notes the next major hearing in Elpida's Chapter 15
bankruptcy will take place Oct. 24.  The universities' patent
pertains to use of lasers to cut links between electrical
circuits.  The patent is part of the technology that Micron
Technology Inc. would acquire in purchasing Elpida through the
primary bankruptcy in Japan.  In addition to damages, the
universities want to sue for an injunction to prevent future
infringement.

The Bloomberg report discloses that as a result, creditor actions
in the U.S. were halted and the court in Japan was recognized as
having the power to sell the business and administer distributions
to creditors, receiving assistance from the U.S. court if
necessary.  Some U.S. bondholders have argued that the proposed
sale to Boise, Idaho-based Micron for an estimated $1.8 billion at
present value is for substantially less than Elpida's liquidation
value.

FULLER BRUSH: Creditors Balk at Sale Without Chapter 11 Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Stephanie Gleason at Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that Fuller
Brush Co.'s unsecured creditors are balking at the sale of the
century-old company to an undisclosed buyer and its senior lender,
saying they learned late Tuesday that the company was planning to
waive the requirement that the buyer confirm a plan of
reorganization to close the sale.

                      About The Fuller Brush

The Fuller Brush Company -- http://www.fuller.com/-- sells
branded and private label products for personal care, commercial
and household cleaning and has a current catalog of 2,000 cleaning
products.  Some of Fuller's retail partners include Home Trends,
Bi-Mart, Byerly's, Lunds, Home Depot, Do-It-Best, Primetime
Solutions, Vermont Country Store and Starcrest.

Founded in 1906 and based in Great Bend, Kansas, The Fuller Brush
Company, Inc., and its parent, CPAC, Inc., filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 12-10714 and 12-10715) in
Manhattan on Feb. 21, 2012.  Fuller Brush filed for bankruptcy
five years after the company was taken over by private equity firm
Buckingham Capital Partners.  Fuller, which has 180 employees as
of the Chapter 11 filing, disclosed $22.9 million in assets and
$50.9 million in debt.  Fuller said it will be business as usual
while undergoing Chapter 11 restructuring.  But it said that while
in reorganization, it intends to trim about half of the current
catalog of cleaning products.

Herrick Feinstein LP serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.

The official committee of unsecured creditors has tapped the law
firm of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP as counsel.

The reorganization is being financed with a $5 million loan from
an affiliate of Victory Park Capital Advisors LLC, the secured
lender owed $22.7 million that plans to buy the business
in exchange for debt.

The Court cleared Fuller Brush Co., to auction its assets next
month, with its senior lender kicking off bidding.


GEORGES MARCIANO: Demands Return of "Illegally Seized" Documents
----------------------------------------------------------------
Montreal resident and Guess Jeans founder George Marciano has
taken further steps to find justice at the United States District
Court of California in a cross-border bankruptcy case that has
been ongoing since Oct. 27, 2009.

He has asked that documents illegally seized in Montreal be
returned to him and that the trustee in his involuntary bankruptcy
case, David Gottlieb, not be permitted to keep any copies.  As of
now, the documents have remained at a US Bankruptcy Court
following a January 2012 decision despite a Dec. 8, 2011 judgment
of the Superior Court in Montreal requiring the return of those
documents.

Mr. Marciano's US attorney Daniel J. McCarthy is asking the
District Court to reverse this decision in what has become a legal
battle involving courts in Canada and the US and wrought with
numerous procedures and judgments.

"The Canadian Superior Court in Montreal has found that David
Gottlieb misled a Canadian Judge to obtain the seizure order and
that the seizure of the documents went beyond the scope of that
order," Mr. Marciano's attorney argued.

Mr. Marciano won a victory in summer 2012, when a California Court
of Appeal sided with him, reversing a decision that ordered him to
pay damages of $55 million to a former employee, Gary Iskowitz,
his wife and his business partner.   It deemed the damages to be
excessive and based on insufficient proof.

                        About Georges Marciano

Georges Marciano is the co-founder of the apparel company Guess?,
Inc. and an investor in various companies and real estate
ventures.  Three of the five former employees of Mr. Marciano,
who won a $370 million libel judgment against him in July 2009,
filed an involuntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. C.D.
Calif. Case No. 09-39630) against the Guess? Inc. co-founder on
Oct. 27 2009.  Mr. Marciano challenged the involuntary petition
for 14 months, and Judge Victoria S. Kaufman entered an order for
relief against Mr. Marciano on Dec. 29, 2010.

HAWKER BEECHRAFT: Drops Sale, To Exit Ch. 11 On Its Own
-------------------------------------------------------
Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., on Thursday said it intends to emerge
from Chapter 11 protection as a standalone company.  Hawker
Beechcraft also announced that it is no longer pursuing a
transaction with Superior Aviation Beijing Co., Ltd. because the
parties could not reach agreement on the terms of a Plan
Sponsorship Agreement.

Robert S. "Steve" Miller, CEO of Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., said,
"We made the decision to proceed with the standalone Plan of
Reorganization after determining that, despite our best efforts,
the proposed transaction with Superior could not be completed on
terms acceptable to the company. We are disappointed that the
transaction did not come to fruition, but we protected ourselves
by obtaining a $50 million deposit from Superior that is now fully
non-refundable and property of the company. The go-forward
business plan we have developed with our creditors ensures that we
will emerge from this process in a strong operational and
financial position, with an enhanced ability to compete well into
the future."

Hawker and Superior agreed to conduct 45 days of exclusive talks.
The exclusivity period expired six weeks ago.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Hawker's $183 million in 8.5% senior unsecured notes
due 2015 last traded on Oct. 2 for 19.5 cents on the dollar,
according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  The $302 million in
8.875% senior unsecured notes due 2015 traded on Sept. 13 for 19.5
cents, Trace said.


                           Business Plan

Upon its emergence from Chapter 11, the company intends to rename
itself Beechcraft Corporation and will implement a business plan
that focuses on its turboprop, piston, special mission and
trainer/attack aircraft -- the company's most profitable products
-- and on its high margin parts, maintenance, repairs and
refurbishment businesses, all of which have high growth potential.

Bill Boisture, Chairman of Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, said,
"Beechcraft Corporation will emerge as the world's leading
designer and manufacturer of turboprop, piston and trainer/attack
aircraft with the largest global customer support network in the
industry. Our business strategy will focus on growing our key
existing product lines: high performance single and twin engine
piston and turboprop aircraft, uniquely missionized variants for
the global special mission market, and multi-role light attack and
trainer aircraft systems, as well as the product development
opportunities within these segments."

As part of this plan, the company, in consultation with its key
creditor constituents, is evaluating its strategic alternatives
for the Hawker product lines, which could include a sale of some
or all of those product lines, or a closure of the entire jet
business if no satisfactory bids are received.

                      Plan of Reorganization

Hawker Beechcraft will soon file an amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York. The company will also file an amended
Disclosure Statement that describes the details of the proposed
Joint Plan. The company intends to schedule a hearing on the
adequacy of the Disclosure Statement on Nov. 15, 2012.

Hawker Beechcraft's key economic stakeholders, including holders
of a significant majority of the company's secured bank debt and
unsecured bond debt, have already agreed to support the primary
terms of the Joint Plan subject to Bankruptcy Court approval of
the amended Disclosure Statement.  Under the Joint Plan,
prepetition secured bank debt, unsecured bond debt, and general
unsecured claims will be canceled and holders of such claims will
receive equity in the reorganized company in the percentages
negotiated by the major creditor groups at the time the company
commenced its Chapter 11 proceedings.

The Joint Plan contemplates that Hawker Beechcraft's $400 million
debtor-in-possession post-petition credit facility will be repaid
fully in cash. In addition, the company will enter into a new
financing package that will go into effect upon its emergence from
Chapter 11.

The company has more than sufficient liquidity to complete its
restructuring and expects to enter into an extension of its DIP
post-petition credit facility, the maturity date of which would
coincide with its anticipated emergence from Chapter 11 in the
first quarter of 2013. Court approval of the adequacy of the
Disclosure Statement will allow Hawker Beechcraft to begin
solicitation of votes for confirmation of the Joint Plan.

The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector and Anna Prior reported
that people familiar with the discussions said negotiations for
Superior to buy the bulk of Hawker Beechcraft collapsed amid
concerns the deal wouldn't pass muster with a U.S. government
panel and other cross-cultural complications.

Superior has offered to buy Hawker's corporate jet and propeller
plane operations out of bankruptcy for $1.79 billion.  According
to WSJ, the sources said Superior encountered difficulties
separating Hawker's defense business from those units in a way
that would make both sides comfortable the deal would get U.S.
government clearance.  The sources told WJS the defense operations
were integrated in various ways with Hawker's civilian businesses,
especially the propeller plane unit, in ways that proved difficult
to untangle.  At one point, the sources said, Hawker suggested
Superior delay taking ownership of certain assets that had ties to
the defense business while they were "cleansed," but Superior
didn't get comfortable with the proposal.

According to the report, people familiar with the matter also said
advisers in the U.S. had trouble negotiating with Chinese
representatives unfamiliar with U.S. finance and bankruptcy law,
and translating documents also made discussions more difficult.
Hawker also wanted an additional deposit of funds from Superior to
help it run its struggling corporate jet business if talks were
going to continue for several more weeks or months, the people
said.  Hawker received a nonrefundable $50 million deposit from
Superior earlier this year as insurance against deal discussions
collapsing, so Superior faced the prospect of having to spend more
to keep talks going.

According to the report, scheduled for two weeks, the trial ended
its first week in U.S. District Court in Dallas where Idearc was
located.  The company went bankrupt 28 months after the spinoff
and concluded the Chapter 11 reorganization with a plan creating a
trust that brought the suit contending there were fraudulent
transfers in when Idearc became independent.

The report relates that creditors are attempting to show that
Verizon was told by its advisors how the Idearc business was
declining while the public was being told it was growing.

Jess Davis at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that U.S. District Court
Judge A. Joe Fish on Thursday told Verizon Communications Inc. may
need to have its CEO or chief financial officer present for the
remainder of a trial in which U.S. Bank N.A. alleges Verizon acted
fraudulently in a $9.9 billion spinoff of its Yellow Pages
business into Idearc Inc., leading to its bankruptcy.

Judge Fish issued an order before the trial, which began Monday,
that each party must have someone present with the authority to
settle the case, Bankruptcy Law360 relates.

Jess Davis at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a U.S. Bank expert on
Wednesday testified Verizon gave investors "shockingly" misleading
projections for the growth of its spinoff Idearc Inc., in the
third day of a Texas federal court trial in U.S. Bank's challenge
to the $9.9 billion deal that preceded Idearc's bankruptcy.

The creditors' lawsuit is U.S. Bank National Association v.
Verizon Communications Inc., 10-01842, U.S. District Court,
Northern District Texas (Dallas).

                         About Idearc Inc.

Headquartered in D/FW Airport, Texas, Idearc, Inc., now known as
SuperMedia Inc., is the second largest U.S. yellow pages
publisher.  Idearc was spun off from Verizon Communications, Inc.

Idearc and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr.
N.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 09-31828) on March 31, 2009.  The Debtors'
financial condition as of Dec. 31, 2008, showed total assets of
$1,815,000,000 and total debts of $9,515,000,000.  Toby L. Gerber,
Esq., at Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, represented the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors tapped Moelis & Company
as their investment banker; Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as
their claims agent.

William T. Neary, the United States Trustee for Region 6,
appointed six creditors to serve on the official committee of
unsecured creditors.  The Committee selected Mark Milbank, Tweed,
Hadley & McCloy LLP, as counsel, and Haynes and Boone, LLP, co-
counsel.

Idearc completed its debt restructuring and its plan of
reorganization became effective as of Dec. 31, 2009.  In
connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, Idearc changed its
name to SuperMedia Inc.  Under its reorganization, Idearc reduced
its total debt from more than $9 billion to $2.75 billion of
secured bank debt.

Less than two years since leaving bankruptcy protection,
SuperMedia remains in quandary.  Early in October 2011, Moody's
Investors Service slashed its corporate family rating for
SuperMedia to Caa1 from B3 prior.  The downgrade reflects Moody's
belief that revenues will continue to decline at a double digit
rate for the foreseeable future, leading to a steady decline in
free cash flow.  SuperMedia's sales were down 17% for the second
quarter of 2011 in a generally improving advertising sector.
Moody's ratings outlook for SuperMedia remains negative.

While SuperMedia is attempting to transition the business away
from its reliance on print advertising through development of
online and mobile directory service applications, Moody's is
increasingly concerned that the company will not be able to make
this change quickly enough to stabilize the revenue base over the
intermediate term. Further, the high fixed cost nature of
SuperMedia's business could lead to steep margin compression,
notwithstanding continued aggressive cost management.


IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES: Completely Acquired by Q.E.P.
--------------------------------------------------
Imperial Industries, Inc., announced that Q.E.P. Co., Inc., had
completed the acquisition of the Company on Oct. 17, 2012.
Pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of Aug. 8, 2012,
by and among the Company, QEP and Imperial Acquisition Sub, Inc.,
Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company
surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of QEP.

As a result of the Merger, each share of the Company's common
stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective
time of the Merger was automatically converted into the right to
receive $0.30 cash per share.  Additionally, each stock option
granted under any Company stock plan and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to
receive the Merger Consideration less the exercise price for the
option.  Based on the aggregate number, immediately prior to the
Effective Time, of outstanding (i) shares of Common Stock and (ii)
stock options with an exercise price less than the Merger
Consideration, the total purchase price paid pursuant to the
Merger was approximately $770,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a change in control
of the Company occurred on Oct. 17, 2012.

Each of Daniel Ponce, Lisa M. Brock, Milton J. Wallace, Morton L.
Weinberger, and Howard L. Ehler resigned from the board of
directors of the Company, and Lewis Gould and Leonard Gould became
the directors of the Company.  Also in connection with the merger,
Howard L. Ehler's employment as the Company's Chief Operating
Officer, Principal Operating Officer and Principal Financial
Officer has been terminated as of Oct. 17, 2012.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on Oct. 17, 2012,
the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended
and restated in their entirety to be identical to the certificate
of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub.

The proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement was approved by the
Company's shareholders holding approximately 63.5% of the
outstanding shares at a special meeting held on Oct. 17, 2012.

Imperial Industries filed a Form 15 with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission to voluntarily deregister its common stock and
suspend its reporting obligations with the SEC.  As of Oct. 17,
2012, there was only one holder of the common shares.

In addition, the Company filed with the SEC post-effective
amendments to Forms S-8 to terminate the offerings of the
Company's securities pursuant to the Registration Statements.

and accordingly, the Company has experienced a significant
reduction in its sales volume.  In addition, for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, the Company has a loss from continuing operations
of approximately $1,310,000.  These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

INDEPENDENCE TAX: Reacts to Peachtree Tender Offer
--------------------------------------------------
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. III expressed no opinion and is
neutral with respect to whether or not unit holders should tender
their units in response to the offer made by Peachtree Partners to
purchase up to 4.9% of the 43,440 outstanding limited partnership
units of Independence III at a price of $18 per unit.  The Offeror
is not affiliated with Independence III or its general partner.

Among other things, Independence III raised certain questions
about the Offer's potential impact on its tax status for federal
income tax purposes.  Independence III is currently treated, and
has since its inception been treated, as a partnership and a pass-
through entity for federal income tax purposes - a tax status that
is desirable and beneficial to Independence III and its investors.
That beneficial tax status might be lost, and Independence III
might be taxed as a corporation, if it were deemed to be a
"publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code and certain regulations promulgated by the Internal
Revenue Service.

                           Going Concern

The Company has an accumulated deficit and negative working
capital and is in default on the majority of its notes payable as
of July 31, 2012.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

"Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our
ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations
on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be
required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations," the
Company said in its quarterly report for the period ended July 31,
2012.  "However, there is no assurance that profitable operations
or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future."

MaloneBailey, LLP, in Houston, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended April 30, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
Inova incurred losses from operations for the years ended
April 30, 2012, and 2011 and has a working capital deficit as of
April 30, 2012, which raise substantial doubt about Inova's
ability to continue as a going concern.

INTERMETRO COMMUNICATIONS: Obtains $3MM Facility from TAB Bank
--------------------------------------------------------------
InterMetro Communications, Inc., and its subsidiaries: (i) secured
a new credit facility with Transportation Alliance Bank, Inc.;
(ii) entered into agreements with its existing lender, Moriah
Capital, L.P., to pay off its debt; and (iii) renegotiated terms
with its secured note holders.

The Company has secured a $3,000,000 senior credit facility with
TAB Bank pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow
$3,000,000, up to 85% of its eligible accounts, at any time until
the maturity date of Sept. 29, 2014.  This facility generally
accrues interest at the greater of (i) 9.50% per annum, or (ii)
the sum of the lender's stipulated prime rate plus 6.25%.  The
Company initially borrowed $1,338,000 from this facility.  The
loan provides for interest-only monthly payments, is generally
secured by all the Company's assets but subject to certain prior
liens, and includes financial covenants pertaining to cash flow
coverage of interest and fixed charges and a requirement for a
minimum level of tangible net worth.

The Company entered into agreements with Moriah retiring the
Company's existing credit facility by paying Moriah $1,845,000 and
issuing a promissory note in favor of Moriah in the principal
amount of $987,500, $250,000 of which is due Sept. 30, 2013.  The
balance, issued in consideration for the cancellation of Moriah's
put option to purchase 6,008,500 shares of the Company's common
stock, becomes due on Sept. 30, 2014.  The note accrues interest
at the rate of 9% per annum and Moriah may convert the balance
owed into shares of common stock with unpaid principal amounts
converted at the rate of $0.25 per share and any unpaid accrued
interest at the rate of $0.30 per share.  Any warrants that were
not previously priced at $0.01 per share of common stock were re-
priced to $0.01 per share.  Any shares of common stock issued to
Moriah in accordance with the warrants or its conversion rights
are subject to a voting agreement in favor of the Company's CEO.

Also on the Closing Date, the Company renegotiated terms with its
secured note holders which included conversion of certain loan
balances to common stock, the issuance of warrants and the
establishment of new payment terms.  The secured note holders
converted $1,521,843 that the Company owed into 10,145,516 shares
of common stock at $0.15 per share and the Company issued warrants
with a term of seven years to purchase 1,521,843 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The remaining
outstanding balance of $2,374,281, of which $764,221 is eligible
to be converted to common stock at the election of the lenders at
a rate of $0.50 per share of common stock, includes $878,466 owed
to related parties.  This remaining balance will be paid in
interest only payments of approximately $12,000 per month from
Jan. 1, 2013, through Sept. 1, 2013, followed by principal and
interest payments of approximately $69,000 per month from Sept. 1,
2013, until Sept. 30, 2014.  Of the remaining balances $923,576
will mature on Sept. 30, 2014, with the final payment of all
principal and accrued interest at maturity on Dec. 31, 2014.  As
part of the renegotiated terms with the secured note holders the
Company issued additional warrants with a term of seven years to
purchase 2,144,451 shares of common stock at a price of $0.25 per
share and 650,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per
share.  All the common shares, warrants and conversion rights
issued to the secured note holders are subject to a voting
agreement in favor of the Company's CEO.  The outstanding balance

JEFFERSON COUNTY: Birmingham Can't Sue Over Hospital Closing
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that bankrupt Jefferson County, Alabama, won a victory
Oct. 17 when the bankruptcy judge halted a lawsuit by the city of
Birmingham aiming to force the county to continue operating a
hospital.

According to the report, the county decided to close the inpatient
portion of the Cooper Green Mercy Hospital.  Birmingham responded
with a suit in state court to block the closing.  The city took
the position that the county has responsibility under state law to
bear the cost of providing medical care for indigents.

The report relates that the county requested that the bankruptcy
judge halt the suit as a violation of the so-called automatic stay
that bars legal actions outside of bankruptcy court.  Birmingham
contended the suit is an exercise of regulatory power not halted
by bankruptcy.

The report notes that the county won when the bankruptcy judge
ruled at a hearing Oct. 17 that the county won't have to defend
the suit.  A formal court order saying what the city can and can't
do has yet to be entered on court records.  The dispute deals the
question of constitutional and statutory limitations on the power
of a federal or bankruptcy court to direct the operations of a
state or municipal government.

                      About Jefferson County

Jefferson County has its seat in Birmingham, Alabama.  It has a
population of 660,000.

Jefferson County filed a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 9
(Bankr. N.D. Ala. Case No. 11-05736) on Nov. 9, 2011, after an
agreement among elected officials and investors to refinance
$3.1 billion in sewer bonds fell apart.

John S. Young Jr. LLC was appointed as receiver by Alabama Circuit
Court Judge Albert Johnson in September 2010.

Jefferson County's bankruptcy represents the largest municipal
debt adjustment of all time.  The county said that long-term debt
is $4.23 billion, including about $3.1 billion in defaulted sewer
bonds where the debt holders can look only to the sewer system for
payment.

The county said it would use the bankruptcy court to put a value
on the sewer system, in the process fixing the amount bondholders
should be paid through Chapter 9.

Judge Thomas B. Bennett presides over the Chapter 9 case.  Lawyers
at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP and Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff &
Stern LLP, led by Kenneth Klee, represent the Debtor as counsel.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as claims and noticing
agent.  Jefferson estimated more than $1 billion in assets.  The
petition was signed by David Carrington, president.

The bankruptcy judge in January 2012 ruled that the state court-
appointed receiver for the sewer system largely lost control as a
result of the bankruptcy. Before deciding whether Jefferson County
is eligible for Chapter 9, the bankruptcy judge will allow the
Alabama Supreme Court to decide whether sewer warrants are the
equivalent of "funding or refunding bonds" required under state
law before a municipality can be in bankruptcy.

U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Bennett ruled in March 2012 that
Jefferson County is eligible under state law to pursue a debt
restructuring under Chapter 9.  Holders of more than $3 billion in
defaulted sewer debt had challenged the county's right to be in
Chapter 9.

JEFFERSON COUNTY: Lehman Brothers Sues Over Sewer Bond Swap Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc., one of the
Lehman entities to emerge from bankruptcy reorganization in March,
sued Jefferson County, Alabama, Oct. 18 for a $1 million chunk of
revenue from the bankrupt county's sewer system.  The suit was
filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Birmingham, where the county
began a municipal Chapter 9 bankruptcy in November.

According to the report, Lehman recited how it entered into a
interest rate swap agreement with the county in connection with
the ill-fated sewer financing.  The agreement required Lehman to
make payments based on a fixed interest rate while the county's
payment would be based on a variable rate.  The county began
missing payments in early 2008.  By the year's end, Lehman
terminated the swap, when $1 million had come due and wasn't paid.

The report relates that Lehman contends in the complaint that the
contract documents gave Lehman a security interest in sewer
revenue on parity with the lien rights of bondholders.  Lehman
admits the payment due on termination isn't secured by sewer
revenue.  Lehman wants the bankruptcy judge to declare that it's
entitled to payment from sewer revenue on account of the $1
million at the same rate as bondholders.

The report notes that the county, according to the complaint,
takes the position that the periodic payments lost their lien
rights when the swap was terminated.  Lehman included the
bondholders' indenture trustee as a defendant in the suit.

According to Bloomberg the county is in lawsuits and appeals with
bondholders over who controls sewer revenue and how much excess
revenue after expenses is payable to bondholders.

The Bloomberg report discloses that Jefferson County began the
country's all-time largest Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy in
November, saying long-term debt is $4.23 billion, including about
$3.1 billion in defaulted sewer debt where the debt holders can
look only to the sewer system for payment.

The Lehman lawsuit is Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. v.

KNIGHT CAPITAL: Incurs $764.3 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Capital Group, Inc., reported a net loss attributable to
common stockholders of $764.33 million on $189.83 million of total
revenues for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared with
net income attributable to common stockholders of $26.93 million
on $397.44 million of total revenues for the same period during
the prior year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012, the Company reported a
net loss attributable to common stockholders of $727.94 million on
$448.44 million of total revenues, in comparison with net income
attributable to common stockholders of $74.99 million on $1.06
billion of total revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$8.58 billion in total assets, $7.10 billion in total liabilities
$259.27 million in convertible preferred shares, and $1.21 billion
in total equity.

"In the aftermath of the technology issue that occurred on
August 1, 2012, Knight began the process of effecting a recovery,"
said Tom Joyce, chairman and chief executive officer, Knight
Capital Group.  "The recapitalization restored the firm's
liquidity and capital, Knight's market share in U.S. equities
substantially rebounded, and we've undertaken measures to enhance
processes and controls.  Obviously, consolidated financial results
were negatively impacted by the trading losses, related expenses
and subsequent non-cash write-downs.  We are gratified though
that, if one backs out these items, we made a small profit on an
operating basis.  Overall, I believe the recovery to date speaks
to the strength of our offering, the dedication of Knight's client
teams, and deep client relationships we enjoy."

                       About Knight Capital

Knight Capital Group (NYSE Euronext: KCG) --
http://www.knight.com/-- is a global financial services firm that
provides access to the capital markets across multiple asset
classes to a broad network of clients, including broker-dealers,
institutions and corporations.  Knight is headquartered in Jersey
City, N.J. with a global presence across the Americas, Europe, and
the Asia Pacific regions.

At the start of trading on Aug. 1, Knight Capital installed a
trading software to push itself onto a new trading platform that
the New York Stock Exchange opened that day.  But when Knight's
new system went live, the firm "experienced a human error and/or a
technology malfunction related to its installation of trading
software."  The error caused Knight to place unauthorized offers
to buy and sell shares of big American companies, driving up the
volume of trading and causing a stir among traders and exchanges.
The orders affected the shares of 148 companies, including Ford
Motor, RadioShack and American Airlines, sending the markets into
upheaval.  Knight had to sell the stocks that it accidentally
bought, prompting a $440 million pre-tax loss, the firm announced
Aug. 2.

Knight Capital averted collapse after announcing Aug. 6 that it
has arranged $400 million in equity financing with Wall Street
firms including Jefferies Group, Inc., which conceived and
structured the investment, as well as Blackstone, GETCO LLC,
Stephens, Stifel Financial Corp. and TD Ameritrade Holding
Corporation.

Knight has said that the software that led to the Aug. 1 trading
issue has been removed from the company's systems. The New York
Stock Exchange nonetheless said Aug. 7 said it "temporarily"
reassigned the firm's market-making responsibilities for more than
600 securities to Getco, the high-speed trading firm that also
invested in Knight.

"This event severely impacted the Company's capital base and
business operations, and the Company experienced reduced order
flow, liquidity pressures and harm to customer and counterparty
confidence," the Company said in its quarterly report for the
period ended June 30, 2012.  "As a result, there was substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern."

Following the event of Aug. 1, 2012, the Company has begun an
internal review into such event and associated controls.

LENNAR CORP: Fitch Rates Proposed $350-Mil. Senior Notes 'BB+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to Lennar Corporation's
(NYSE: LEN) proposed offering of $350 million principal amount of
senior notes due November 2022.  This issue will be ranked on a
pari passu basis with all other senior unsecured debt.  The notes
will be guaranteed by some of Lennar's subsidiaries, but those
guarantees may be suspended or released under certain
circumstances.  Net proceeds from the notes offering will be
primarily used for working capital and general corporate purposes,
which may include the repayment or repurchase of some of its
outstanding senior notes or other indebtedness.

The ratings and Outlook for Lennar reflect the company's strong
liquidity position and improved prospects for the housing sector
this year and in 2013.  The ratings also reflect Lennar's
successful execution of its business model, geographic and product
line diversity, much lessened joint venture exposure, and the
still challenging U.S. housing environment.

So far this year, housing metrics have been steadily growing on a
year-over-year (yoy) basis.  The yoy gains for single-family
starts and new home sales have been sustaining the momentum of
earlier this year.  And most months' seasonally adjusted
statistics for single-family starts, new homes, and existing home
sales have also been advancing.  Builders' confidence has surged.
Investors are enthused.  However, as Fitch has noted in the past,
recovery will likely occur in fits and starts.

Fitch's housing forecasts for 2012 have been raised a few times
this year, but still assume a below-trend line cyclical rise off a
very low bottom.  In a slowly growing economy with somewhat
diminished distressed home sales competition, less competitive
rental cost alternatives, and new home inventories at historically
low levels, single-family housing starts should improve about 19%,
while new home sales increase approximately 19.5% and existing
home sales grow 8.5%.  Further moderate improvement is forecast
for 2013.

Lennar has solid liquidity with unrestricted homebuilding cash of
$692 million as of Aug. 31, 2012.  The company also has an
unsecured revolving credit facility of $500 million that expires
May 2015.  The credit facility may be increased to $525 million,
subject to additional commitments.  As of Aug. 31, 2012, the
company had a $150 million letter of credit and reimbursement
agreement with certain financial institutions, which may be
increased to $200 million, and also another $50 million letter of
credit and reimbursement agreement with certain financial
institutions that had a $50 million accordion feature.  The
company's debt maturities are well-laddered, with about 25.6% of
its senior notes (as of Aug. 31, 2012) maturing through 2015.

The company was the third largest homebuilder in 2011 and
primarily focuses on entry-level and first-time move-up
homebuyers.  The company builds in 16 states with particular focus
on markets in Florida, Texas and California.  Lennar's significant
ranking (within the top five or top 10) in many of its markets,
its largely presale operating strategy, and a return on capital
focus provide the framework to soften the impact on margins from
declining market conditions.  Fitch notes that in the past,
acquisitions (in particular, strategic acquisitions) have played a
significant role in Lennar's operating strategy.

Compared to its peers Lennar had above-average exposure to joint
ventures (JVs) during this past housing cycle.  Longer-dated land
positions are controlled off balance sheet.  The company's equity
interests in its partnerships generally ranged from 10% to 50%.
These JVs have a substantial business purpose and are governed by
Lennar's conservative operating principles.  They allow Lennar to
strategically acquire land while mitigating land risks and reduce
the supply of land owned by the company.  They help Lennar to
match financing to asset life.  JVs facilitate just-in-time
inventory management.  Nonetheless, Lennar has been substantially
reducing its number of JVs over the last few years (from 270 at
the peak in 2006 to 36 as of Aug. 31, 2012).  As a consequence,
the company has very sharply lowered its JV recourse debt exposure
from $1.76 billion to $66.8 million ($48.2 million net of joint
and several reimbursement agreements with its partners) as of Aug.
31, 2012.  In the future, management will still be involved with
partnerships and JVs, but there will be fewer of them and they
will be larger, on average, than in the past.

The company did a good job in reducing its inventory exposure
(especially early in the correction) and generating positive
operating cash flow.  In 2010, the company started to rebuild its
lot position and increased land and development spending.  Lennar
spent about $600 million on new land purchases during 2011 and
expended about $225 million on land development during the year.
This compares to roughly $475 million of combined land and
development spending during 2009 and about $704 million in 2010.
During the first three quarters of 2012, Lennar purchased
approximately $757 million of new land and spent roughly $223
million on development expenditures. Fitch expects land and
development spending for 2012 to be 50% or more higher than in
2011.  As a result, Fitch expects Lennar to be moderately cash
flow negative this year.  Fitch is comfortable with this strategy
given the company's cash position, debt maturity schedule and
proven access to the capital markets.

During 2010 the company ramped up its investments in its newest
segment, Rialto Investments.  More recently it has been harvesting
the by-products of its efforts.  This segment provides advisory
services, due-diligence, workout strategies, ongoing asset
management services, and acquires and monetizes distressed loans
and securities portfolios.  (Management has considerable expertise
in this highly specialized business.)

In February 2010, the company acquired indirectly 40% managing
member equity interests in two limited liability companies in
partnership with the FDIC, for approximately $243 million (net of
transaction costs and a $22 million working capital reserve).
Lennar had also invested $69 million in a fund formed under the
Federal government's Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP),
which was focused on acquiring securities backed by real estate
loans.  During the three months ended Aug. 31, 2012, the AB PPIP
fund started unwinding its operations and as a result the company
received $71.5 million in distributions.  As of the end of August,
the carrying value of Lennar's investment was $12.5 million.
Monetization of the remaining securities in the AB PPIP fund is
being finalized and liquidating distributions are expected during
the fourth quarter of 2012.

On Sept. 30, 2010, Rialto completed the acquisitions of
approximately $740 million of distressed real estate assets, in
separate transactions, from three financial institutions.  The
company paid $310 million for these assets, of which $124 million
was funded by a five-year senior unsecured note provided by one of
the selling financial institutions.  Rialto Investments had $594.8
million of debt, of which $111 million is recourse to Lennar.
Rialto provides Lennar with ancillary income as well as a source
of land purchases (either directly or leveraging Rialto's
relationship with owners of distressed assets).  Fitch views this
operation as strategically material to the company's operation,
particularly as housing activity remains at relatively low levels.

Future ratings and Outlooks will be influenced by broad housing
market trends as well as company specific activity, such as trends
in land and development spending, general inventory levels,
speculative inventory activity (including the impact of high
cancellation rates on such activity), gross and net new order
activity, debt levels, free cash flow trends and uses, and the
company's cash position.  Negative rating actions could occur if
the early stage of the housing recovery is not sustained and the
company steps up its land and development spending prematurely,
leading to consistent and significant negative quarterly cash flow
from operations and a meaningfully diminished liquidity position
below $700 million.  Positive rating actions may be considered if
the recovery in housing is maintained and is much better than
Fitch's current outlook, Lennar shows continuous improvement in
credit metrics, and maintains a healthy liquidity position.

Fitch currently rates Lennar as follows:

  -- Issuer Default Rating at 'BB+';
  -- Senior unsecured debt at 'BB+'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.


LENNAR CORP: S&P Assigns 'B+' Rating on $350MM Senior Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' issue-level
rating and '4' recovery rating to Lennar Corp.'s proposed offering
of $350 million of senior notes due 2022. "Our '4' recovery rating
indicates our expectation for an average (30%-50%) recovery in
the event of default," S&P said.

"Lennar plans to use proceeds from the offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes, which may include
acquisitions or debt repurchases. From our perspective, the
offering will bolster the company's cash balances, which totaled
roughly $845 million at Aug. 31, 2012. This balance provides
sufficient capital to fund land investment needed to support the
meaningful revenue growth that we expect over the next two years.
The new notes will rank equally with Lennar's other senior
unsecured obligations and will be guaranteed by substantially all
of Lennar's homebuilding subsidiaries for as long as these
subsidiaries guarantee at least $75 million of parent company
obligations. The guarantees can be released under certain
circumstances," S&P said.

"Our ratings on Miami-based Lennar reflect our expectation that
higher sustained revenue growth and improved profitability over
the next 12 to 18 months could result in substantial improvement
in Lennar's EBITDA-based credit measures. In our view, proceeds
from the proposed note offering, along with availability under a
$525 million unsecured revolving credit facility executed in May
2012 ($500 million of which is currently committed) should enable
Lennar to readily finance near term growth. Given our expectations
for community count growth of roughly 20% over the next 18 months
and the continuation of higher absorption trends (which totaled
3.2 homes per month during the third quarter of 2012), we believe
Lennar could potentially increase revenues by 25% in fiscal 2013.
We also believe Lennar's operating margin, which totaled 11.2% for
the third quarter of 2012 (among the highest of its peers), will
continue to strengthen modestly over our forecast period as Lennar
continues to drive more sales from newer, more profitable
communities and leverage its operating platform," S&P said.

"Under our base-line scenario, we expect adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
to approach the high-6x area by the end of 2013, down
substantially from 10x at Aug. 31, 2012. This scenario also
assumes that funded debt (including recourse debt at Rialto) does
not change materially from $4 billion at Aug. 31, 2012, pro forma
for the proposed note offering. The substantial reversal of
Lennar's deferred tax asset allowance (DTA) over the past two
quarters improves balance sheet metrics such as debt-to-total book
capitalization, but perhaps more importantly, provides additional
support for our expectation that Lennar is likely to post
consistent net operating profits over the next two years," S&P
said.

"Our positive outlook acknowledges our expectation that Lennar's
EBITDA-based credit metrics will improve materially over the next
12 to 18 months. We could raise our corporate credit rating to
'BB-' if we think Lennar will continue to post revenue gains in
the high 20% area through 2013, while modestly expanding adjusted
EBITDA margins to about 11%. Under this scenario, we would expect
debt-to-EBITDA to decline to the high-6x area by year-end 2013.
However, we could revise the outlook back to stable if sales
growth is more moderate than we currently expect and key EBITDA-
based credit metrics do not improve to levels more commensurate
with similarly rated industrial peers by the end of 2013. We would
also lower the rating if liquidity weakens significantly in the
absence of a sustainable recovery," S&P said.

LIGHTSQUARED INC: Harbinger Opposes Suit by Lenders
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that whether LightSquared Inc.'s so-called LP lenders can
sue the company's owner Harbinger Capital Partners LLC over
alleged defects in loans and security interests will be the topic
of a hearing now scheduled for Nov. 5 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Manhattan.

According to the report, Harbinger and others filed papers Oct. 17
contending there is no basis for a suit.  The LP lenders are an ad
hoc group that hold $1.08 billion of the $1.7 billion secured
borrowing in October 2010 by LightSquared LP.

                      About LightSquared Inc.

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

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

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

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors employed roughly 168 people
in the United States and Canada.  As of Feb. 29, 2012, the Debtors
had $4.48 billion in assets (book value) and $2.29 billion in
liabilities.

LightSquared also sought ancillary relief in Canada on behalf of
all of the Debtors, pursuant to the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada) R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36 as amended, in the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada.  The purpose of the ancillary proceedings is to
request the Canadian Court to recognize the Chapter 11 cases as a
"foreign main proceeding" under the applicable provisions of the
CCAA to, among other things, protect the Debtors' assets and
operations in Canada.  The Debtors named affiliate LightSquared LP
to act as the "foreign representative" on behalf of the Debtors'
estates.

Judge Shelley C. Chapman presides over the Chapter 11 case.
Lawyers at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP serve as counsel to
the Debtors.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as claims and
notice agent.

Counsel to UBS AG as agent under the October 2010 facility is
Melissa S. Alwang, Esq., at Latham & Watkins LLP.

The ad hoc secured group of lenders under the Debtors' October
2010 facility was formed in April 2012 to negotiate an out-of-
court restructuring.  The members are Appaloosa Management L.P.;
Capital Research and Management Company; Fortress Investment
Group; Knighthead Capital Management LLC; and Redwood Capital
Management.  Counsel to the ad hoc secured group is Thomas E.
Lauria, Esq., at White & Case LLP.

Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners indirectly owns 96% of
LightSquared's outstanding common stock.  Harbinger and certain of
its managed and affiliated funds and wholly owned subsidiaries,
including HGW US Holding Company, L.P., Blue Line DZM Corp., and
Harbinger Capital Partners SP, Inc., are represented in the case
by Stephen Karotkin, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.

The Office of the U.S. Trustee has not appointed a statutory
committee of unsecured creditors.


LIGHTSQUARED INC: U.S. Bank and Mast Object to LP Lenders' Motion
-----------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bank National Association, as successor agent under
the Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2011, among LightSquared
Inc., as borrower, certain subsidiary guarantors, the lenders
party thereto and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as agent and Mast
Capital Management, LLC, have objected to the motion of the Ad Hoc
Secured Group of LightSquared LP Lenders for entry of an order
granting it standing to prosecute claims on behalf of the estates
of LightSquared, Inc., et al., against the lenders under the Inc.
Credit Agreement.

U.S. Bank and Mast said the Ad Hoc LP Group has not satisfied the
legal prerequisites for derivative standing to be granted, and
that the LP lenders does not have standing even to seek to bring
the majority of the causes of action that it wishes to pursue, and
none of the causes of action it is proposing would result in a
benefit to the Debtors' creditors.  "To the contrary, forcing the
Debtors to incur the expense of litigating these meritless claims
would be a waste of both estate and judicial resources."

In a supplemental objection, U.S. Bank said the LP Lenders' motion
should be denied for the additional reason that the LP lenders
have no direct economic interest in the outcome of these causes of
action, because only creditors of a debtor can benefit from
avoidance actions.

                      Objection of Harbinger

Harbinger Capital Partners LLC and certain of its managed and
affiliated funds and wholly-owned subsidiaries, in their capacity
as the majority equity holders of LightSquared Inc. and holders of
loans made pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated
July 1, 2011, also objected to the LP Lenders' standing motion.
Harbinger also joins in the objection of U.S. Bank and Mast to the
standing motion and the supplemental objection
of U.S. Bank.

"The motion is simply the Ad Hoc Group's latest attempt to gain
leverage in these chapter 11 cases and waste valuable estate
resources by attacking Harbinger with baseless accusations.  To
achieve this goal, the Ad Hoc Group requests standing to bring
uncolorable claims on behalf of the Debtors' estates, including
Debtors of whom the Ad Hoc Group are not even creditors,"
Harbinger stated.

"In addition, Harbinger submits that the Court should also deny
the motion due to the inequitable actions of the Ad Hoc Group in
these cases.  Providing a party derivative standing to bring
claims on behalf of the Debtors' estates is a form of equitable
relief.  The party must be seeking to bring claims that benefit
the Debtors' estates and all of their stakeholders.  This is why
it is most common for derivative standing to be conferred on a
statutory creditors' committee, which is a true fiduciary.  A
party seeking derivative standing, therefore, should not be
seeking to benefit solely itself and should not be acting in a
manner unbefitting to a fiduciary."

                       LightSquared Statement

In connection with the LP Lenders' standing motion, the Debtors
asked the Bankruptcy Court that, in the event the Court is
inclined to grant the LP Lenders' standing motion at this
time, the Court (a) preserve all rights of LightSquared to settle
the claims, (b) either (i) narrowly tailor any further discovery
to minimize the additional costs incurred by the estates or (ii)
postpone the litigation relating to the proposed complaint to the
end of the Chapter 11 Cases when it will be more easily
determinable whether such litigation benefits the estates, and (c)
award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and
proper.

standing motion is available at:

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 19, 2012, the holders of
$1.08 billion in secured debt in LightSquared LP said
LightSquared, Inc., received a faulty $263.8 million loan last
year.

The July 2011 loan should be recharacterized as an equity
investment by Harbinger, which contributed $183.8 million of the
total, the Ad Hoc Secured Group said.  Affiliates committed
fraudulent transfers when they guaranteed the loan without
receiving anything of value in return, the Ad Hoc Secured Group
contended.

The loan, unsecured when it was made, was given security interests
in late August 2011, the Ad Hoc Secured Group said.  The almost
two-month delay in giving liens amounted to a preference the
bankruptcy court can set aside, they said.

The report relates that the lenders said the transactions
"diverted massive value" from other creditors.

LPATH INC: To Begin Trading on NASDAQ Capital Market on Oct. 22
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lpath, Inc., has received confirmation that its application to
list the company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market has
been approved by the NASDAQ Stock Market, a unit of the NASDAQ OMX
Group.

Lpath common stock is expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ
Capital Market at the opening of trading on Oct. 22, 2012, under
the ticker symbol, LPTN.

"Our up-listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market represents another
major corporate milestone for Lpath," said Scott Pancoast, the
company's president and chief executive officer.  "We believe a
NASDAQ listing will provide greater visibility in a larger
universe of investors, as well as better liquidity and efficiency
in trading.  Given our progress toward regulatory approval and
commercialization of our novel therapeutics, including enrollment
of our Nexus Phase 2 trial for iSONEP in partnership with Pfizer,
the timing seemed right to raise our profile in the investment
community."

Last month, Lpath initiated dosing in its Nexus Phase 2 trial,
which seeks to determine how its ocular drug iSONEP can best be
used to benefit wet-AMD patients.  Lpath entered into an agreement
with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) in 2010 that provides Pfizer an exclusive
option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize
iSONEP.  Lpath and Pfizer have collaborated extensively on design
and goals of the Nexus Phase 2 study.

In addition to iSONEP, Lpath has two other promising drug
candidates advancing toward commercialization: ASONEP, which is
scheduled to begin a Phase 2 trial with Renal Cell Carcinoma
patients around the end of the year; and Lpathomab, which has
demonstrated compelling preclinical results in neuropathic pain
and neurotrauma such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal
cord injury (SCI).

The neuropathic pain data suggest Lpathomab holds promise as a
long-term treatment for chronic neuropathic pain related to
diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, two areas of significant unmet
clinical need.  Neurotrauma data published in the American Journal
of Pathology demonstrates Lpathomab can also reduce the severity
of a SCI, and moreover can significantly improve functional
behavioral outcomes in animal models. There are currently no FDA-
approved drugs for the treatment of TBI or SCI.

LSP ENERGY: Seeks to Keep Sole Chapter 11 Control Amid Outage
-------------------------------------------------------------
Marie Beaudette at Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that LSP
Energy is seeking to keep exclusive control over its Chapter 11
case as it works to close on the sale of its assets and end an
outage that's taken its gas-fired Mississippi power offline.

                         About LSP Energy

LSP Energy Limited Partnership, LSP Energy, Inc., LSP Batesville
Holding, LLC, and LSP Batesville Funding Corporation filed
separate Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 12-10460) on Feb. 10, 2012.

LSP owns and operates an electric generation facility located in
Batesville, Mississippi.  The Facility consists of three gas-fired
combined cycle electric generators with a total generating
capacity of roughly 837 megawatts and is electrically
interconnected into the Entergy and Tennessee Valley Authority
transmission systems.  LSP's principal assets are the Facility and
the 58-acre parcel of real property on which it is located, as
well as its rights under a tolling agreements.

LSP filed bankruptcy to complete an orderly sale of its assets or
the ownership interests of LSP Holding in LSP, LSP Energy and LSP
Funding for the benefit of all stakeholders.  The remaining three
Debtors filed bankruptcy due to their relationship as affiliates
of LSP and their ultimate obligations on a significant portion of
LSP's secured bond debt.  The Debtors also suffered losses due to
a mechanical failure of a combustion turbine at their facility and
resultant business interruption.

LSP Energy is the general partner of LSP.  LSP Holding is the
limited partner of LSP and the 100% equity holder of LSP Energy
and LSP Funding.  LSP Funding is a co-obligor on the Debtors' bond
debt, and each of LSP Energy and LSP Holding has pledged their
equity interests in LSP and LSP Funding as collateral for the bond
debt.

No statutorily authorized creditors' committee has yet been
appointed in the Debtors' cases by the United States Trustee.

Judge Mary F. Walrath oversees the case.  Lawyers at Whiteford
Taylor & Preston LLC serve as the Debtors' counsel.


LUXLAS FUND: S&P Ups Corp. Credit Rating to 'B+' on Debt Reduction
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its ratings on Canada-
based Luxlas Fund Limited Partnership, including the corporate
credit rating and senior secured debt rating to 'B+' from 'B'.
"The '4' recovery rating on the company's $230 million term loan
remains unchanged, indicating our expectation of average (30%-50%)
recovery in the event of a default. For analytical purposes, we
view Luxlas and its ultimate parent company, Lassonde Industries
Inc. (not rated), and its indirect operating company, Clement
Pappas and Co. Inc. (not rated), as one economic entity," S&P
said.

"The upgrade reflects what we view as the company's improved
financial risk profile stemming from its greater-than-expected
debt reduction and improved credit measures since the acquisition
of U.S.-based shelf-stable, private-label juice company, Clement
Pappas," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jean Stout.

"Our ratings on Luxlas also reflect our view of the consolidated
company's narrow business and geographic focus; its participation
in the mature, low-growth and concentrated North American juice
and drink markets; and its exposure to volatile commodity costs,
as well as to negative publicity in the category, including
ingredients," S&P said.

Since August 2011, when Lassonde acquired Clement Pappas for
approximately $410 million, the company has reduced acquisition-
related debt by about $28 million. "This level is significantly
higher than we had previously expected," said Ms. Stout. "As a
result of the debt reduction, Standard & Poor's estimates pro
forma adjusted consolidated total debt to EBITDA was about 3.4x
and funds from operations to total debt was about 18% for the 12
months ended June 30, 2012."

The outlook on Luxlas is stable. "We expect the company's
operating performance and credit ratios will be in line with our
expectations over the next year, including leverage in the 3x area
as cash flow is largely applied to debt," said Ms. Stout.


MAKENA GREAT: Inks Stipulation Extending Cash Collateral Use
------------------------------------------------------------
GAC Storage Lancing LLC, et al., and lender Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
entered into a stipulation regarding GAC Storage El Monte, LLC's
continued use of cash collateral.  The lender consented to a
further extension of the termination date until Nov. 3, 2012.  El
Monte's use of cash collateral was set to expire on August 2012.

In a separate filing, Debtor GAC Storage Copley Place, LLC and its
prepetition lender Bank of America, N.A., stipulated and agreed to
a second amendment and extension of the cash collateral use from
Aug. 31, 2012 until Oct. 31, 2012.

MEDIA GENERAL: Incurs $30.3 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
Media General Inc. reported a net loss of $30.33 million on
$93.75 million of station revenue for the 13 weeks ended Sept. 23,
2012, compared with a net loss of $29.83 million on $66.07 million
of station revenue for the 13 weeks ending Sept. 25, 2011.

The Company reported a net loss of $211.05 million on
$251.06 million of station revenue for the 39 weeks ending Sept.
23, 2012, compared with a net loss of $71.01 million on $202.73
million of station revenue for the 39 weeks ending Sept. 25, 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 23, 2012, showed
$773.96 million in total assets, $933.87 million in total
liabilities and a $159.91 million stockholders' deficit.

Marshall N. Morton, president and chief executive officer of Media
General, said, "Operating income was more than four times last
year, mostly driven by a nearly 42% increase in revenues.
Political revenues totaled nearly $20 million and reflected the
strong positions of our television stations in their markets and
the presence of six Media General stations in presidential
battleground states.  Our eight NBC stations generated a record
$15.5 million of revenues from the Summer Olympics, capitalizing
on record viewership for the London games.  Gross time sales,
excluding Political revenues, increased 16.8% in the third
quarter, reflecting growth in several major advertising categories
and the strength of the Olympics advertising."

Richmond, Virginia-based Media General Inc. (NYSE: MEG) --

company with interests in newspapers, television stations and
interactive media in the United States.

The Company reported a net loss of $74.32 million for the fiscal
year ended Dec. 25, 2011, a net loss of $22.64 million for the
fiscal year ended Dec. 26, 2010, and a net loss of $35.76 million

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 12, 2012,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded, among other things, Media
General's Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default
Rating (PDR) to Caa1 from B3, concluding the review for downgrade
initiated on Feb. 13, 2012.  The downgrade reflects the
significant increase in interest expense associated with the
company's credit facility amend and extend transaction and an
assumed issuance of at least $225 million of new notes, which will
result in limited free cash flow generation and constrain Media
General's capacity to reduce its very high leverage.  The weak
free cash flow and high leverage create vulnerability to changes
in the company's highly cyclical revenue and EBITDA generation.

In the Oct. 10, 2012, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its rating on Richmond, Va.-based Media
General Inc. to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and removed it from CreditWatch,
where it was placed with positive implications on May 18, 2012.

"The corporate credit rating on Media General is based on our
expectation that the company will be able to maintain adequate
liquidity despite its very high leverage," noted Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith.


MGM RESORTS: Gets Approval to Develop Gaming Resort in Cotai
------------------------------------------------------------
MGM Resorts International announced that MGM China Holdings
Limited, a 51%-owned subsidiary, has formally accepted a Land
Concession Contract in the form of a lease granted by the Macau
Government to develop a five-star luxury resort and casino in
Cotai, Macau.  The Company has paid the Macau Government the sum
of approximately $56 million as the initial payment of the
contract premium.  The Macau Government will arrange for
publication of the Land Concession Contract in the Official
Gazette of Macau in due course.

With a budget of approximately $2.5 billion, the world-class
resort will include approximately 1,600 hotel rooms, 500 gaming
tables, and 2,500 slots built on an approximately 17.8 acre site.
The resort will feature over 85% gross floor area of non-gaming
offerings, including exciting restaurant, retail and entertainment
offerings.

MGM China Chairman and Executive Director Pansy Ho said: "We are
extremely appreciative of the Macau government for the grant of
the land concession contract and the opportunity to build a
spectacular resort.  Our Cotai property will demonstrate our
continued commitment to contribute to Macau as it develops into an
international tourism and entertainment hub as well as a
convention and meeting destination."

Jim Murren, chairman and chief executive officer of MGM Resorts,
who also serves as Co-Chairman of the Board of MGM China, said:
"This destination resort represents a significant growth
opportunity for MGM China.  The project will fully demonstrate our
strengths in terms of design and branding, quality of service, and
thoughtful diversification of product offerings."

Construction is expected to begin after the publication of the
Land Concession Contract in the Official Gazette of Macau and is
anticipated to take up to 36 months.

                        About MGM Resorts

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

The Company reported net income of $3.23 billion in 2011 and a net
loss of $1.43 billion in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $27.26
billion in total assets, $17.85 billion in total liabilities and
$9.41 billion in total stockholders' equity.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

In the Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, the Company
said that any default under the senior credit facility or the
indentures governing the Company's other debt could adversely
affect its growth, its financial condition, its results of
operations and its ability to make payments on its debt, and could
force the Company to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws.

                           *     *     *

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

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

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

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


MICROSEMI CORP: S&P Keeps 'BB' Rating on $810MM Term Loan Due 2018
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services corrected its recovery rating
on Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based semiconductor manufacturer Microsemi
Corp.'s $50 million revolver due 2015 by revising it to '2' from
'1' because S&P did not revise it following the recovery report
dated Oct. 4, 2011. "The recovery rating on the revolver is '2',
indicating our expectation of a substantial (70% to 90%) recovery
in the event of default. The issue-level rating on the term loan
is 'BB' (one notch higher than the corporate credit rating)," S&P
said.

The 'BB' issue-level rating and '2' recovery rating on Microsemi
Corp.'s $810 million term loan due 2018 remain unchanged.

MSR RESORT: Five Mile Wants Sale Process Restarted
--------------------------------------------------
Joseph Checkler at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that
a key creditor of a group of bankrupt resorts owned by Paulson &
Co. says that because the Singapore government's investment fund
acted in bad faith in agreeing to purchase the resorts, the entire
sale process should be started anew.

Stewart Bishop at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a creditor of MSR
Resort Golf Course LLC on Wednesday asked a New York bankruptcy
judge to restart the sales process for MSR's property, saying
Government of Singapore Investment Corp. failed to reveal an anti-
competitive agreement with another company when it offered
$1.5 billion for the property.

Five Mile Capital Partners LLC argues GIC was party to an anti-
competitive arrangement with KSL Capital Partners LLC, which
incentivized KSL not to bid for MSR's assets -- a fact GIC failed
to disclose to the court, Bankruptcy Law360 relates.

                         About MSR Resort

MSR Hotels & Resorts, formerly known as CNL Hotels & Resorts Inc.,
owned a portfolio of eight luxury hotels with over 5,500 guest
rooms, including the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, the

MUSCLEPHARM CORP: Settles Securities Suit With Inter-Mountain
-------------------------------------------------------------
Agreement with Inter-Mountain Capital Corp. to resolve Case No:
2:12-cv-00416-PMW initiated by Inter-Mountain against the Company
in the United States District Court for the District of Utah
alleging the breach of contract regarding a warrant and purchase
agreement.  Pursuant to the Agreement, on Oct. 12, 2012, the
Company and Inter-Mountain completed an exchange and retirement of
all of Inter-Mountain's warrants in the Company for 143,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001.

In late September 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 502.3
million shares of its common stock to three accredited investors
pursuant to conversions of outstanding warrants to purchase common
stock of the Company.

As a result of these warrant conversions and other extinguishments
of derivative liabilities during the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012,
MusclePharm Corporation's pro forma adjusted capitalization as of
June 30, 2012, would have reflected a decrease in stockholders'
deficit from approximately $11,417,000 to approximately $5,330,769
and the Company's derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2012,
would have been reduced from approximately $7,909,000 to
approximately $25,000.  All of these stock issuances, warrant
conversions and other extinguishments of derivative liabilities
will be reflected in the Company's financial statements as of
Sept. 30, 2012, and for the three and nine months then ended.

Effective Oct. 15, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company
determined to suspend indefinitely the Company's stock repurchase
program that was adopted on April 18, 2012.  Under this program,
the Company repurchased 26,431,575 shares of its common stock.

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

As reported by the TCR on June 13, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its ratings on Navistar International Corp.,
including the corporate credit rating to 'B+', from 'BB-'.  "The
downgrade and CreditWatch placement reflect the company's
operational and financial setbacks in recent months," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sol Samson.

In the Sept. 19, 2012, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) for Navistar
International Corporation (NAV) and Navistar Financial
Corporation (NFC) to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  The rating Outlook is
Negative.  The rating downgrades and Negative Rating Outlook
reflect the company's heightened liquidity risk and negative
manufacturing free cash flow (FCF) which could continue into 2013.


NBTY INC: S&P Gives 'B-' Rating on $550MM Senior Unsecured Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned issue-level and
recovery ratings to Ronkonkoma, N.Y.-based NBTY Inc.'s $550
million of senior unsecured notes, which were originally launched
in the amount of $500 million. The notes are issued by NBTY's
holding company, Alphabet Holding Co. Inc. "We assigned the notes
our issue-level rating of 'B-' (two notches lower than the 'B+'
corporate credit rating on the company) with a recovery rating of
'6', indicating our expectation for negligible (0% to 10%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default. The net
proceeds of the notes will fund a $750 million investor dividend,
the remainder of which will be funded with cash from the balance
sheet. This largely debt-financed dividend will not, in our view,
result in any material change to credit metrics as the company's
operating performance continues to improve," S&P said.

The corporate credit rating on NBTY is 'B+' and the rating outlook
is stable. The rating reflects S&P's assessment of the company's
financial risk profile as "aggressive" and its business risk
profile as "fair."

NEW ENGLAND BUILDING: Committee Wants Chapter 11 Trustee Appointed
------------------------------------------------------------------
The official committee of unsecured creditors of New England
Building Materials, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy Court to enter an
order appointing a Chapter 11 Trustee.

The Committee submits that "cause" exists for appointment of a
trustee in the Debtor's case for these reasons:

    (a) The Debtor's current management has grossly mismanaged the
        Debtor's affairs, accumulating an operating loss of more
        than $2.6 million in the first six and a half months of
        this case;

    (b) The Plan proposes to liquidate, rather than rehabilitate,
        the Debtor;

    (c) The Plan is designed to benefit the Debtor's insiders at
        the expense of the Debtor's creditors, and thus the Plan
        is unconfirmable under section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy
        Code; and

    (d) The Debtor has failed to comply with various Court orders
        during this case.

PATRIOT COAL: Retirees May Seek Claims vs. Peabody, Arch Coal
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tiffany Kary and Sonja Elmquist at Bloomberg News report that
retired coal miners may seek to bring claims against Peabody
Energy Corp. and Arch Coal Inc. if bankrupt Patriot Coal Corp.
won't cover what it has called $1.3 billion in "unsustainable"
medical benefits.

According to the report, a group of 16 retirees, representing
about 10,000 retirees whose benefits are being paid by Patriot,
traveled from West Virginia to meet with company officials,
Patriot's creditors' committee and the U.S. Trustee Oct. 18 in New
York.  The former miners say they worked for predecessor companies
Peabody or Arch, not Patriot.  "We want to make sure other
creditors, the court and the public know that Peabody and Arch are
responsible for the obligations they made to the miners," Atty.
Arthur Traynor, a lawyer for the group, said by phone before the
meeting.  "They are responsible as well for Patriot's financial
condition."  Peabody spun off Patriot in 2007. The following year,
Patriot bought Magnum Coal Co., which had acquired three Arch
units in 2005.

"Patriot was a viable company when it was spun off in 2007, and
substantial events inside and outside Patriot's control
significantly altered its future," Vic Svec, a Peabody spokesman,
said in an e-mail Oct. 19.  He cited Patriot's Magnum acquisition,
a drop in coal demand and increased regulation.

                           Union Seats

The report relates that miners are represented in the bankruptcy
through two of seven seats on a creditors' committee -- one for
the United Mine Workers of America, which represents about 42% of
Patriot's 4,000 employees, and one for the union's 1974 Pension
Plan and Trust, which pays benefits to one working miner for every
10 pensioners, according to court papers.

Under bankruptcy law, claims can be made against corporate
predecessors if a "fraudulent conveyance," or transfer of money
with the intent to hurt creditors, can be proven.

It's unclear whether Peabody and Arch could be held liable, given
that creditors would have to prove in court that a fraudulent
conveyance occurred, said Chris Haberlin, an analyst at Richmond,
Virginia-based Davenport & Co.  A public spinoff of a coal company
hasn't resulted in bankruptcy recently, leaving Patriot without a
precedent, he said.  "This type of situation has not arisen
before," Mr. Haberlin said in a phone interview.

                        Miners' Questions

The report notes that Patriot was unable to answer several of the
miners' questions at Oct. 18 meeting, including what the company
has done to probe Peabody's potential responsibility for its
financial situation, and why Peabody currently pays some retiree
obligations and not others, said Jamie Horwitz, a spokesman for
the miners.

The need to address labor and retiree obligations is one reason
why Patriot wants the deadline to file a bankruptcy plan extended
to May 5 from Nov. 6, the company said in court papers filed Oct.
18.  Patriot is expected to propose how it might continue to meet
any obligations to the retirees after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Shelley Chapman in Manhattan rules on whether the case should be
sent to West Virginia, Traynor said.  Patriot's proposal will help
determine what kind of claims the group of retirees tries to make
against Peabody or Arch, he said.

                      Creditors Meeting

Steve James and Nick Brown at Thomson Reuters News & Insight
report that a delegation from West Virginia and Ohio attended a
creditors' meeting to quiz Patriot Coal over miners' concerns they
will lose health coverage.  Bankruptcy laws allow companies to
alter terms of employee healthcare and retirement benefits.

The report relates Patriot Coal was spun-off from Peabody five
years ago and later acquired an Arch Coal business.

According to the report, the United Mine Workers of America union
is represented on the Patriot creditors' committee and bused about
a dozen members into New York City to express their concerns to
Patriot executives and lawyers.  UMWA spokesman Phil Smith said
the meeting, while not a formal court hearing, was an
informational session convened by the U.S. trustee, who oversees
the bankruptcy process.  The miners were not under oath.

The report notes, at the meeting, several union members questioned
whether Patriot will push to hold Peabody responsible.  "What will
Patriot do to make Peabody honor its commitment to my healthcare?"
said Larry Knisell, who said he was taking several medications
totaling 23 pills per day, while his wife needs treatment twice a
week for fibromyalgia.

The report notes Mark Schroeder, Patriot's chief financial
officer, said Patriot would consider whether it may have claims
against "other entities."

According to the report, the union's Smith said Patriot has
declared its health-care obligations for 10,000 retirees
"unsustainable."  Union lawyer Art Traynor said the company's
primary reason for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing was to reduce
costs associated with mining and the company had estimated total
aggregate health care and pension costs at $1.3 billion.

According to the report, Peabody spokesman Vic Svec said in an
email to Reuters: "Contrary to UMWA claims, a Peabody subsidiary
assumed the obligation to pay more than $600 million in healthcare
liabilities for certain retirees of Patriot subsidiaries as part
of the spinoff.

The report notes that in a filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in the summer, Arch listed potential obligations of
about $64 million due to contracts acquired by its Magnum
subsidiary, which was bought by Patriot.

The report notes an Arch Coal spokeswoman, Kim Link, told Reuters
that if Patriot does not emerge from bankruptcy, "Arch Coal could
be responsible for medical benefits for a small subset of UMWA
represented individuals who had retired as of September 1994."

PEREGRINE FINANCIAL: Great American to Liquidate Wasendorf Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A 1957 Ford Thunderbird, all-terrain vehicles, a 3,400-bottle wine
collection and an extensive collection of sports memorabilia are
just some of the more eclectic assets formerly owned by Russell
Wasendorf, Sr. that are being prepared for liquidation by Great
American Group, Inc..

Great American Group was selected by court-appointed receiver,
Chicago-based attorney Michael Eidelman, to sell Wasendorf's
personal assets.  Wasendorf, who served as CEO of Peregrine
Financial Group (PFG), recently pleaded guilty to embezzling $200
million from investors.  PFG filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
liquidation in July.

According to Peter Wyke, senior vice president for Great American
Group's wholesale and industrial division, proceeds from the
liquidation will be used to repay investors for part of their
losses.

"Basically, any tangible personal property assets, product
inventories or fixed assets either owned by Wasendorf or any
Wasendorf entity will be sold as part of the liquidation," he
said.  "We're already receiving interest in many of the assets,
including those at the myVerona restaurant, which was owned by
Wasendorf, and within the CEO's former residence."

Some of Wasendorf's personal possessions for sale include
autographed football jerseys from former St. Louis Rams and
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, ex-San Francisco 49ers
quarterback Joe Montana and a signed Super Bowl XX jersey from the
Chicago Bears' William "Refrigerator" Perry.  These and many other
items will be sold during a live webcast auction scheduled to
begin at 10 a.m. Dec. 5 at the former PFG headquarters building at
1 Peregrine Way.

                     About Peregrine Financial

Peregrine Financial Group Inc. filed to liquidate under Chapter 7
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 12-27488)
on July 10, 2012, disclosing between $500 million and $1 billion
of assets, and between $100 million and $500 million of
liabilities.

Earlier that day, at the behest of the U.S. Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, a U.S. district judge appointed a receiver and
froze the firm's assets.  The firm put itself into bankruptcy
liquidation in Chicago later the same day.  The CFTC had sued
Peregrine, saying that more than $200 million of supposedly
segregated customer funds had been "misappropriated."  The CFTC
case is U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Peregrine
Financial Group Inc., 12-cv-5383, U.S. District Court, Northern
District of Illinois (Chicago).

Peregrine's CEO Russell R. Wasendorf Sr. unsuccessfully attempted
suicide outside a firm office in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on July 9.

The bankruptcy petition was signed in his place by Russell R.
Wasendorf Jr., the firm's chief operating officer. The resolution
stated that Wasendorf Jr. was given a power of attorney on July 3
to exercise if Wasendorf Sr. became incapacitated.

Peregrine Financial is the regulated unit of the brokerage
PFGBest.

At a quickly-convened hearing on July 13, the bankruptcy judge
authorized the Chapter 7 trustee to operate Peregrine's business
on a "limited basis" through Sept. 13.


PEREGRINE FINANCIAL: Customers Espouse Theory to Avoid Losses
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that six customers of Peregrine Financial Group Inc., the
liquidating commodity broker, filed a lawsuit that would pay them
ahead of other creditors, if the theory holds up with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Chicago.

The six customers, composed of two companies and four individuals,
contend they were told by Foremost Trading LLC, a so-called
introducing broker, that their cash deposits would be held in
separate bank accounts where Peregrine would only have access as
security for loans to facilitate trading.

The report relates that the customers, including Secure Leverage
Group Inc. and Treasure Island Coins Inc., contend that the
deposits didn't become Peregrine property.  They argue Peregrine
at most had a security interest in the accounts.  The customers'
complaint asks the bankruptcy judge to declare that property in
the accounts is theirs and not Peregrine's.  They also want a
declaration that the deposits were held in trust so money won't be
shared with other customers.

Fee will be payable to the DIP Agent.

Interest on the DIP Loans will accrue at an interest rate of 10%
p.a.  All DIP Obligations will be immediately due and payable in
cash on the Termination Date, which will mean the earliest to
occur of (i) Sept. 11, 2013, (ii) the effective date of a plan of
reorganization confirmed in the cases, (iii) Sept. 17, 2012, if
the Interim Order has not been entered on or before that date,

other indebtedness owed by the Borrowers under and pursuant to the
Pre-Petition Credit Agreement was approximately $22.8 million
(plus an additional approximately $2.9 million of outstanding
letters of credit).

A hearing to consider final and permanent approval of the motion
for up to $3,000,000 in DIP Loans will be held before the
Bankruptcy Court on Oct. 23, 2012, at 10:00 a.m.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., filed its annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Michael F. Cronin CPA expressed substantial doubt about Plandai's
ability to continue as a going concern.  Mr. Cronin noted that the
Company has incurred a $3.7 million loss from operations. consumed
$700,000 of cash due to its operating activities, and may not have
adequate readily available resources to fund operations through
June 30, 2013.

fiscal 2012 compared with a net loss of $69,980 on $nil revenue in
fiscal 2011.  "Our total expenses for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2012, was $3,848,759 compared to $137,533 in the prior
year.  Of the current year amount, $2,977,700 resulted from
recording the fair value of stock issued for services previously
rendered.  In addition, operations in the prior year were limited
as the Company was just commencing operations."

PREMIER DENTAL: S&P Gives 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Orange, Calif.-based
Premier Dental Services Inc. and its Western Dental Services Inc.
subsidiary its 'B' corporate credit rating. The rating outlook is
stable.

"At the same time, we assigned Premier's proposed $275 million
secured term loan and $25 million revolving credit facility our
'B' credit rating (the same as the corporate credit rating) with a
recovery rating of '3', indicating our expectation for meaningful
(50% to 70%) recovery of principal in the event of payment
default," S&P said.

"Our rating on Premier Dental Services Inc. reflects its
'vulnerable' business risk profile (according to our criteria),
characterized by Premier's narrow business focus, geographic
concentration, and unfavorable payor mix relative to other U.S.
dental service providers," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Gail Hessol.

"Pro forma lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA for the 12 months ended
June 30, 2012, is 5.2x. We expect leverage to decline below 5x
within about two years and we expect funds from operations (FFO)
to debt to be about 15% at the end of 2013, consistent with a
'highly leveraged' financial risk profile. Premier and its
affiliates operate 172 dental offices in four Southwestern
states," S&P said.

"We believe Premier will continue to open new dental care centers
at a measured pace that can be financed internally. We expect new
and maturing offices to result in low-single-digit annual revenue
growth over the medium term, with generally flat same-store
revenues. The addition of orthodontics to nearly all centers,
which supported same-store growth in recent quarters, is
substantially complete. Our base-case forecast for the 2012 EBITDA
margin (excluding the effects of lease capitalization) is
approximately 13.5% to 14%, compared with 13.2% in 2011. Over the
medium term, we expect the EBITDA margin to fluctuate within a
range of about 12.5% to 14.5%, similar to Premier's historical
experience," S&P said.

"Premier has a 'vulnerable' business risk profile, in our opinion,
notwithstanding its sizable network of 172 centers that offer
general and specialty dental services in California, Arizona,
Texas, and Nevada. This is, in part, because the $110 billion U.S.
dental practice industry is extremely fragmented and highly
competitive with low barriers to entry. Treatment volume,
especially for more discretionary services such as orthodontics,
and patient financial capacity have exhibited some sensitivity to
economic conditions. The availability of financing for patients
also influences demand, especially from Premier's customer base,"
S&P said.


PREMIER PAVING: Can Use Wells Fargo Cash Collateral Through Nov. 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has approved a stipulation between Premier
Paving Inc. and Wells Fargo on the Debtor's use of the bank's cash
collateral through Nov. 1, 2012.

As adequate protection for the Debtor's use of cash collateral:

     a. The Debtor will continue to provide such party with a
        replacement lien on all inventory, equipment, accounts and
        general intangibles generated by the Debtor post-petition
        to the extent that the use of cash collateral results in a
        decrease in the value of the secured party's interest in
        the property;

     b. The Debtor will continue to maintain adequate insurance
        coverage on all personal property assets and adequately
        insure against any potential loss;

     c. The Debtor will continue to provide weekly reports to
        Wells Fargo, in addition to all periodic reports and
        information filed with the Bankruptcy Court, including
        debtor-in-possession reports;

     d. The Debtor will only expend cash collateral pursuant to
        the Budget subject to reasonable fluctuation that results
        in a change of no more than 15% in net cash flow per
        month;

     e. The Debtor will pay all post-petition taxes;

     f. The Debtor will retain in good repair all collateral in
        which such party has an interest; and

     g. The Debtor will pay Wells Fargo $25,000 per month with the
        first payment having been due on June 30, 2012.

RENAISSANCE LEARNING: S&P Revises Outlook on 'B' CCR to Positive
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
Wisconsin Rapids, Wisc.-based Renaissance Learning Inc. to
positive from stable. "We affirmed the corporate credit rating at
'B'," S&P said.

"We also assigned 'B+' issue-level and '2' recovery ratings to
Renaissance Learning's proposed $250 million senior secured credit
facilities, which consists of a $20 million revolving credit
facility due 2017 and a $230 million term loan B facility due
2018. The '2' recovery rating indicates our expectations of
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of payment default.
The company will use the proceeds, along with $26 million of cash
on hand to repay its existing first- and second-lien term loan and
for fees related to the refinancing transaction," S&P said.

"The ratings on Renaissance Learning Inc. reflect federal and
state government budget headwinds and its 'aggressive' financial
profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Tsui.
"Renaissance Learning's position in its fragmented niche market,
highly recurring subscription revenue base, and good free
operating cash flow characteristics are partly offsetting
factors."

Renaissance Learning is a provider of computer-based assessment
technology and school improvement programs for Pre-K through 12
schools and districts. The company's products help educators make
the practice component of their existing curriculum more effective
by providing tools to personalize practice in reading, writing,
and math, along with formative assessment and periodic progress-
monitoring technology.

"The positive outlook reflects Renaissance Learning's continued
highly recurring revenue base, stable profitability, positive FOCF
generation, and falling debt leverage. We would consider an
upgrade if the company could continue its growth path and
penetrate the district-wide sales in the U.S. We would also
consider an upgrade if the company expands further overseas, while
improving FOCF generation and applying excess cash for debt
reduction, leading to leverage dropping and approaching the mid-4x
area," S&P said.

"We would revise the outlook to stable if government budget
concerns or competitive pressure intensifies, leading to customer
attrition, EBITDA declines, and leverage remaining above 5x," S&P
said.


RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Executives' $7-Mil. Bonus Program Approved
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Residential Capital LLC, the mortgage-servicing
subsidiary of non-bankrupt Ally Financial Inc., won approval from
the bankruptcy court Oct. 17 for a modified program offering as
much as $7 million in bonuses for 17 high-level executives.

According to the report, the bankruptcy judge refused to approve a
prior iteration of the bonus plan in August.  He said it was
primarily "retentive," meaning it offered bonuses simply for
remaining with the company.  There were no objections to the
revised version where the majority of bonuses depend on the
outcome of auctions selling off the two segments of ResCap's
business.

The report relates that the auctions will take place on Oct. 23
with Fortress Investment Group LLC making the first bid for the
mortgage servicing business.  Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is to be the
stalking-horse for the remaining portfolio of mortgages.  A
hearing to approve the sales is set for Nov. 5.

The Bloomberg report discloses that the $2.1 billion in third-lien
9.625% secured notes due 2015 last traded Oct. 17 for 101 cents on
the dollar, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  The $473.4 million
of ResCap senior unsecured notes due April 2013 last traded on
Oct. 15 for 26 cents on the dollar, according to Trace.

Ally Financial for the legacy portfolio.  Together, the asset
sales are expected to generate roughly $4 billion in proceeds.

Following a hearing in June, the bankruptcy judge scheduled

America Inc. and its creditors committee teamed up Wednesday to
submit a liquidation plan with the Delaware bankruptcy court that
provides unsecured creditors a recovery ranging from 7 to 58.5
percent, depending on the resolution of disputed secured claims.

Bankruptcy Law360 relates that the U.S. arm of the bankrupt
Swedish automaker seeks to wind down its business and its Chapter
11 case through the establishment of a liquidating trust, whose
trustee would be responsible for distributing the proceeds of
SCNA's assets.

                        About Saab Cars N.A.

More than 40 U.S.-based Saab dealerships have signed an
involuntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition for Saab Cars North

2012.  The petitioners, represented by Wilk Auslander LLP, assert
claims totaling $1.2 million on account of "unpaid warranty and
incentive reimbursement and related obligations" and/or "parts and
warranty reimbursement."  Leonard A. Bellavia, Esq., at Bellavia

on behalf of the dealers.

Donlin, Recano & Company, Inc. (DRC), has been retained to provide
claims and noticing agent services to Saab Cars North America,
Inc. in its Chapter 11 case.

the dealers," Leonard A. Bellavia said in an e-mail to Bloomberg
News.

outside administrator, McTevia & Associates, to run the company as
part of a plan to avoid immediate liquidation following its parent
company's bankruptcy filing.

Saab Automobile AB is a Swedish car manufacturer owned by Dutch
automobile manufacturer Swedish Automobile NV, formerly Spyker
Cars NV.  Saab Automobile AB, Saab Automobile Tools AB and Saab

Unsecured Creditors and appointed these members: Peter Mueller
Inc., IFS Vehicle Distributors, Countryside Volkwagen, Saab of

SAN BERNARDINO, CA: Faces Major Legal Action Over CalPERS Payment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Erin Coe at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that experts said San
Bernardino, Calif.'s bid to defer millions of dollars in payments
to the California Public Employees? Retirement System is setting
the stage for a major legal battle over whether obligations to the
nation's largest public pension fund can be impaired in
bankruptcy, and a ruling in the city's favor may encourage more
municipalities to file for Chapter 9.

                       About San Bernardino

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

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

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

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

SAN BERNARDINO: Withholds $5.3 Million Owed to Calpers
------------------------------------------------------
James Nash and Michael B. Marois at Bloomberg News report that a
spokesman for the California Public Employees' Retirement System
said that San Bernardino, California, owes the largest U.S. public
pension fund $5.3 million, of which $1.2 million is delinquent.

According to the report, San Bernardino has failed to make
required pension payments to the $245.8 billion pension fund since
filing for Chapter 9 protection Aug. 1, a Calpers spokesman, Mr.
Brad Pacheco, said by e-mail.  Calper is the largest creditor in
bankruptcy cases filed by Stockton and San Bernardino since the
end of June, with a total of $290.8 million at stake.  The two
cities are the largest U.S. municipalities to file for bankruptcy.

The report relates that Stockton has continued to make payments to
Calpers.  "These payments are required to be made under California
law," Mr. Pacheco said.  "If we can't resolve the missed payments
with the city, Calpers will assert its rights and remedies
available under the law."  Stockton and San Bernardino represent
0.7% of employer contributions to Calpers, according to actuarial
statements.

on pension obligation bonds issued in 2005, according to a
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board filing Oct. 16.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sinclair
Television Group, Inc., has closed its previously announced
private offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of

their principal amount and will bear interest at a rate of 6.125%
per annum payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1,
commencing on April 1, 2013.

STG intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the

Services raised its corporate credit rating on Hunt Valley, Md.-
based TV broadcaster Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. to 'BB-' from

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

SNO MOUNTAIN: Default Cues Investors to File Involuntary Petition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Ferreras at LoanSafe.org reports that a group of Sno
Mountain's investors and creditors are attempting to force the
Scranton resort into bankruptcy reorganization.

Sno Mountain -- http://www.snomtn.com/-- operates a winter sport
resort in Scranton, PA.

According to the report, members of the group has filed an
involuntary Chapter 11 petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania and allege they have claims of
more than $9.6 million against the skiing and water park complex.

The report relates the filers include members of the ownership
group who want to oust Sno Mountain president Denis Carlson, said
Scott Tattar, a spokesman for the group.  Efforts to reach Carlson
were unsuccessful.

The report notes the filing comes after financial trouble piled up
in recent years for the recreation complex.

The report says Sno Mountain defaulted on a $5 million state loan
last year before renegotiating terms on the $4.5 million balance
earlier this year.  The complex faces state litigation over
allegedly unpaid sales tax and has a history of local property tax
delinquency.

The 388-acre property was listed for a Lackawanna County sheriff's
sale in August after a Berks County bank filed foreclosure action,
alleging it was owed $6.6 million on a $7.5 million mortgage.  The
sale was postponed in July when Sno Mountain principals reported
they were close to a refinancing package, the report notes.

The report relates Mr. Tattar said attempts to refinance are
continuing.

The report says, after running into financial difficulty and a
foreclosure threat, the county acquired the property for $14.7
million in 1991.  Former Commissioners Robert Cordaro and A.J.
Munchak, both now serving time for federal fraud convictions, sold
the property to Carlson's investment group.

According to the report, the investors in the resort figure
prominently in the drive to force the bankruptcy.  Sno Mountain LP
was established as a Philadelphia-based investment group that
bought the complex from Lackawanna County for $5.1 million in
November 2006.  After the new owners took over, they invested
$3 million in snow-making equipment, added new ski trails and
developed a terrain park.  The group also invested $12 million to
develop Sno Cove water park, which opened in 2008.

The report relates WCP Sno Mountain has a $6.5 million investment
stake in Sno Mountain and a $2.5 million loan to the complex
outstanding, court papers show.  Charles and Kathleen Hertzog, a
Montgomery County couple, have $2.6 million invested, and Hertzog
loaned the facility $200,000, according to the petition.

The report relates Ms. Hertzog and Edward Reitmeyer, identified in
court papers as managing partner of WCP Sno Mountain, are part of
the ownership group driving the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Tattar
said.  Other parties to the filing, according to court papers,
include:

  -- Funeral director Al Hughes invested $200,000.  During an
     unrelated public corruption trial held in June 2011, it was
     revealed Hughes delivered thousands of dollars in payments
     from businesses with county contracts to Cordaro when he was
     serving as county commissioner.

  -- Nicholas Scandale and his company, Scandale Associated
     Builders, Clarks Summit, which has an $846,206 lien judgment
     against Sno Mountain and a $250,000 investment in the
     property, court papers show.  Scandale Associated Builders
     was a contractor on the Sno Cove water park development.

  -- Sterling Trust invested $250,000 each for benefit of Donna
     Ford and Richard Ford.  Also, Ford had a $100,000 loan to the
     company.

The report notes, in a separate filing, several other creditors
sought to join the bankruptcy petition, including:

  -- Game LLC invested $300,000 and loaned $100,000. The company
     listed an address associated with Glenn Gress.

  -- SMFPIC invested $125,000. The company listed an address
     associated with Kevin McFadden.

  -- ProSlide Technology Inc., $56,000 for unpaid invoices.

  -- D&S Realty Laurel Oak loaned $53,245.04.

  -- Robert Sablich loaned $160,000.

The report adds a procedural hearing on the bankruptcy is
scheduled Nov. 7 in Philadelphia.


SOLYNDRA LLC: Plan Confirmation Hearing Resumes Oct. 22
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Solyndra LLC, the liquidating solar panel maker,
didn't complete the confirmation hearing that began Oct. 17 for
approval of the Chapter 11 reorganization plan.  The hearing will
resume on Oct. 22 with final arguments from the lawyers.

According to the report, three branches of the U.S. government
filed papers opposing approval of the plan.  The Internal Revenue
Service believes the plan violates the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
because the principal purpose is tax avoidance.

                        About Solyndra LLC

Founded in 2005, Solyndra LLC was a U.S. manufacturer of solar
photovoltaic solar power systems specifically designed for large
commercial and industrial rooftops and for certain shaded
agriculture applications.  The Company had 968 full time employees
and 211 temporary employees.  Solyndra has sold more than 500,000
of its panels since 2008 and generated cumulative sales of over
$250 million.

Fremont, California-based Solyndra and affiliate 360 Degree Solar
Holdings Inc. sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Lead Case No. 11-12799) on Sept. 6, 2011.  Solyndra is at
least the third solar company to seek court protection from
creditors since August 2011.

Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the Debtors' cases.  The
Debtors are represented by Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as
legal adviser.  AlixPartners LLP serves as noticing claims and
balloting agent.  Imperial Capital LLC serves as the company's
investment banker and financial adviser.  The Debtors also tapped
former Massachusetts Governor William F. Weld, now with the law
firm McDermott Will & Emery, to represent the company in
government investigations and related litigation.  BDO Consulting,
a division of BDO USA, LLP, as financial advisor and BDO Capital
Advisors, LLC, serves as investment banker for the creditors'
panel.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Solyndra LLC has
tapped Blank Rome LLP as counsel and BDO Consulting as financial
advisors.

In October 2011, the Debtors hired Berkeley Research Group, LLC,
and designated R. Todd Neilson as Chief Restructuring Officer.

Solyndra filed definitive lists showing property with a claimed
value of $854.1 million against $867.1 million in debt.
Liabilities include $783.8 million in secured claims and $74.1
million of unsecured debt.  Solyndra owed $527.8 million to the
U.S. government pursuant to a federal loan guarantee.  In addition
to the government-guaranteed loan, financing came from $709
million in eight issues of preferred stock, plus $179 million in
convertible notes.

When they filed for Chapter 11, the Debtors pursued a two-pronged
strategy to effectuate either a sale of their business to a
"turnkey" buyer who may acquire substantially all of Solyndra's
assets or, if the Debtors were unable to identify any potential
buyers, an orderly liquidation of the assets for the benefit of
their creditors.

Solyndra did not receive acceptable offers to buy the business as
a going concern.  Two auctions late last year brought in a total
of $8 million.  A three-day auction in February generated another
$3.8 million.  An auction in June generated $1.79 million from the
sale of 7,200 lots of equipment.

Solyndra filed a liquidating plan at the end of July and scheduled
a hearing on Sept. 7 for approval of the explanatory disclosure
statement.  The Plan is designed to pay 2.5% to 6% to unsecured
creditors with claims totaling as much as $120 million. Unsecured
creditors with $27 million in claims against the holding company
are projected to have a 3% dividend.


SOLYNDRA LLC: Battles IRS in Court Over Chapter 11 Plan
-------------------------------------------------------
Lance Duroni at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Solyndra LLC
squared off with the U.S. government Wednesday in Delaware
bankruptcy court, arguing that its reorganization plan makes the
best of a bad situation for its private equity creditors and is
not, as the government claims, a ploy to secure valuable tax
breaks.

                        About Solyndra LLC

Founded in 2005, Solyndra LLC was a U.S. manufacturer of solar
photovoltaic solar power systems specifically designed for large
commercial and industrial rooftops and for certain shaded
agriculture applications.  The Company had 968 full time employees
and 211 temporary employees.  Solyndra has sold more than 500,000
of its panels since 2008 and generated cumulative sales of over
$250 million.

Fremont, California-based Solyndra and affiliate 360 Degree Solar
Holdings Inc. sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Lead Case No. 11-12799) on Sept. 6, 2011.  Solyndra is at
least the third solar company to seek court protection from
creditors since August 2011.

Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the Debtors' cases.  The
Debtors are represented by Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as
legal adviser.  AlixPartners LLP serves as noticing claims and
balloting agent.  Imperial Capital LLC serves as the company's
investment banker and financial adviser.  The Debtors also tapped
former Massachusetts Governor William F. Weld, now with the law
firm McDermott Will & Emery, to represent the company in
government investigations and related litigation.  BDO Consulting,
a division of BDO USA, LLP, as financial advisor and BDO Capital
Advisors, LLC, serves as investment banker for the creditors'
panel.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Solyndra LLC has
tapped Blank Rome LLP as counsel and BDO Consulting as financial
advisors.

In October 2011, the Debtors hired Berkeley Research Group, LLC,
and designated R. Todd Neilson as Chief Restructuring Officer.

Solyndra owed secured lenders $783.8 million, including
$527.8 million to the U.S. government pursuant to a federal loan
guarantee, and held assets valued at $859 million as of the
Petition date.  The U.S. Federal Financing Bank, owned by the U.S.
Treasury Department, is the Company's biggest lender.

When they filed for Chapter 11, the Debtors pursued a two-pronged
strategy to effectuate either a sale of their business to a
"turnkey" buyer who may acquire substantially all of Solyndra's
assets or, if the Debtors were unable to identify any potential
buyers, an orderly liquidation of the assets for the benefit of
their creditors.

Solyndra did not receive acceptable offers to buy the business as
a going concern.  Two auctions late last year brought in a total
of $8 million.  A three-day auction in February generated another
$3.8 million.  An auction in June generated $1.79 million from the
sale of 7,200 lots of equipment.

Solyndra filed a liquidating plan at the end of July and scheduled
a hearing on Sept. 7 for approval of the explanatory disclosure
statement.  The Plan is designed to pay 2.5% to 6% to unsecured
creditors with claims totaling as much as $120 million. Unsecured
creditors with $27 million in claims against the holding company
are projected to have a 3% dividend.

SPANISH BROADCASTING: Attiva Wants Mega TV, Mega Films Spinoff
--------------------------------------------------------------
Attiva Capital Partners Ltd., one of the largest shareholders in
Spanish Broadcasting Systems, Inc., holding over 9.8% of the
Company's Class A common stock, is currently in discussions with
other shareholders of the Company on the idea that the Company
should separate the Mega TV and Mega Films franchises by selling
its majority stake to a bigger media company that has the
financial resources, the content and distribution network required
to make Mega TV & Films a successful franchise in the Hispanic
market in U.S. and Latin America.  Attiva said the Company should
just keep a "strategic minority interest" in Mega TV and Mega
Films as it builds a multi-media platform.

"We also encourage the Board to improve Corporate Governance by
separating the roles of Chairman and CEO and stay true to its
motto 'the largest publicly traded Hispanic-controlled media and
entertainment company in the United states'," Attiva said in the
regulatory filing.

Attiva added, "In its duty to look after the interest of all
shareholders, SBS must increase its board to include directors
representing holders of Class A and Preferred Stock,
respectively."

                     About Spanish Broadcasting

Headquartered in Coconut Grove, Florida, Spanish Broadcasting
System, Inc. -- http://www.spanishbroadcasting.com/-- owns and
operates 21 radio stations targeting the Hispanic audience.  The
Company also owns and operates Mega TV, a television operation
with over-the-air, cable and satellite distribution and affiliates
throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.  Its revenue for the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2010, was approximately $140 million.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $466.74
million in total assets, $418.02 million in total liabilities,
$92.34 million in cumulative exchangeable redeemable preferred
stock, and a $43.63 million total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

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

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


SPRINT NEXTEL: Opts to Buy 100% ERH Interests in Clearwire
----------------------------------------------------------
Eagle River Holdings, LLC, delivered an interest notice to the
other equityholders of Clearwire Corporation of its intent to
transfer (i) 30,922,958 shares of Class A common stock; and
(ii) 2,728,512 shares of Class B common stock and a corresponding
number of Clearwire Communications Class B Common Interests.

Pursuant to Section 3.3(b) of the Equityholders' Agreement, each
Equityholder will have 30 days from receipt of the ERH ROFO Notice
to notify ERH of its election to purchase all or any portion of
the Interests.

Sprint HoldCo, LLC, delivered a response letter to the ERH ROFO
Notice notifying ERH that Sprint HoldCo elects to purchase 100% of
the Interests.

ERH had previously delivered an interest notice on Oct. 13, 2012,
to the other Equityholders pursuant to Section 3.3 of the
Equityholders' Agreement to which Sprint HoldCo had on that same
date provided a Response Notice, which also covered the Interests
reflected in the ERH ROFO Notice and certain additional shares
owned by related parties and permitted an exercising Equityholder,
under certain circumstances, to acquire the membership interests
of ERH in lieu of acquiring the Interests directly.  The Comcast
Entities, the Intel Entities and the BHN Entities objected to
certain contents of the Prior Notices and alleged that the Prior
Notices were invalid.  Although the Reporting Persons disagree
with the merits of the objection and allegation, in the interest
of avoiding a dispute over the Prior Notices, ERH and Sprint
HoldCo agreed to revoke the Prior Notices, as a result of which
neither has any obligations to the other thereunder, and ERH
issued the ERH ROFO Notice to replace the Prior Notices.

If Sprint HoldCo, LLC, is the only Equityholder that exercises its
rights under the ERH ROFO Notice, the purchase price that would be
paid at closing by Sprint HoldCo for 100% of the Interests is
$100,000,063, and the source of those funds would be from Sprint's
working capital.

Sprint Nextel beneficially owns 705,359,348 shares of Class A
common stock of Clearwire Corporation representing 50.8% of the
shares outstanding as of Oct. 13, 2012.

definitive agreements with SOFTBANK CORP.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 8, 2012, Fitch Ratings affirms,
among other things, the Issuer default rating (IDR) of Sprint
Nextel and its subsidiaries at 'B+'.  The ratings for Sprint
reflect the ongoing execution risk both operationally and
financially regarding several key initiatives that the company
expects will improve cash generation, network performance and
longer-term profitability.


SUN RIVER: Sells Leasehold Interest in Texas Leases; Lays Off CFO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sun River Energy, Inc., sold to Katy Resources ETX, LLC, a portion
of the Company's leasehold interest in approximately 650 gross
acres in the Neal Heirs Gas Unit in Panola County in East Texas.
The sale was limited to the Company's interest in the leases
commencing at the surface of the Earth and extending down to the
Top of the Travis Peak Formation, less and except the wellbore of
the Neal Heirs #1 Well, all personal property and equipment
located thereon or used and obtained in connection therewith and
the right to produce oil or gas from same, together with the
subsurface rights in and under 40 acres in the form of a square
with the Well in the center.

The Sale was consummated pursuant to the Purchase and Sale
Agreement entered into with Katy on July 11, 2012.  Under the
terms of the PSA, at closing, the Company and Katy amended the
Promissory Note between the Company and Katy dated Feb. 7, 2011,
and reduced the principal balance on the Note by $2,000,000 and
extended the maturity date of the Note to two years from the date
of the Amendment to Promissory Note.

In an effort to conserve resources, on Sept. 28, 2012, Judson F.
"Rick" Hoover, the Chief Financial Officer was laid off.

Sun River held its annual meeting of shareholders on Oct. 17,
2012.  Each of Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., Stephen W. Weathers, Robert
B. Fields, Daniel M. Cofall and Mark A. Hall were elected to the
Board of Directors for a term of one year.

                          About Sun River

Dallas, Tex.-based Sun River Energy, Inc., is an exploration and
production company focused on oil and natural gas.  Sun River has
mineral interests in two major geological areas.  Each area has a
distinct development plan, and each area brings a different value
matrix to the Company.  The Company has mineral interests in the
Raton Basin located in Colfax County, New Mexico, and in several
counties in the highly prolific East Texas Basin.

In the auditors' report accompanying the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended April 30, 2012,
LightfootGuestMoore&Co, P.C., in Dallas, Tex., expressed
substantial doubt about Sun River's ability to continue as a going
concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company has an
accumulated earnings deficit of $41,027,526.

The Company reported a net loss of $24.0 million on $293,000 of
revenues for the year ended April 30, 2012, compared with a net
loss of $7.4 million on $98,000 of revenues for the year ended
April 30, 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at July 31, 2012, showed $12.71
million in total assets, $14.23 million in total liabilities and a
$1.52 million total stockholders' deficit.

                    Going Concern Considerations

The Company has negative working capital of $13,793,000 at
July 31, 2012.  Approximately $10,339,000 of the negative working
capital position was comprised of amounts owed to significant
stockholders, including Officers of the Company.  The Company is
attempting to raise capital to resolve the working capital
requirements and develop the oil and gas assets.  The Company has
multiple options available to meet the current financial
obligations when due:

   * The Company is attempting to settlement of its $4,000,000
     note payable - related party obligation with assignment of
     certain mineral rights that the Company was not anticipating
     to develop; and/or

   * Sun River has raised capital in a Preferred Stock offering,
     and the Company is currently attempting to raise additional
     equity through the sale of additional common stock and will
     utilize any proceeds to improve their working capital; and/or

   * The Company may sell a portion of its mineral rights to
     improve its working capital, in addition to other selected
     current liabilities of the Company which may be due.

However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to execute any or all of the contemplated transactions, which
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.


SUNGARD DATA: Fitch Withdraws Low-B Rating on Several Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed and simultaneously withdrawn the
following ratings for SunGard Data Systems, Inc.(SunGard):

  -- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B+';
  -- Senior Secured credit facility at 'BB+/RR1';
  -- Senior Secured term loans at 'BB+/RR1';
  -- $250 million 4.875% senior notes due 2014 at 'B+/RR4';
  -- $900 million 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2018 at
     'B/RR5';
  -- $700 million 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2020 to
     'B/RR5' from 'B-/RR5';
  -- $1 billion 10.25% senior subordinated notes due 2015 at
     'B-/RR6'.

Fitch has withdrawn the aforementioned ratings for business
reasons.  The ratings are no longer relevant to the agency's
coverage.


SUNGARD DATA: S&P Assigns 'B-' Rating on $500MM Subordinated Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B-' issue level
rating (two notches below the 'B+' corporate credit rating on the
company) and '6' recovery rating to SunGard Data Systems' proposed
offer of $500 million of subordinated notes due 2019. "The '6'
recovery rating indicates our expectation of negligible (0% to
10%) recovery in the event of payment default. The company will
use the proceeds to repay the existing 10.25% senior subordinated
notes due 2015, which they expect to tender for. Our corporate
credit rating, outlook, and individual issue level ratings are
unchanged by the proposed transaction," S&P said.

"Our ratings on SunGard reflect our expectation that the company's
'satisfactory' business risk profile and significant base of
recurring revenues will continue to support its 'highly leveraged'
financial risk profile. The ratings also reflect SunGard's healthy
cash flow generation and strong position in the fragmented market
for investment-support processing software. SunGard's revenue and
earnings predictability benefit from high contractually recurring
revenues, high customer switching costs, and defensible market
positions. We expect moderate acquisition activity to enhance
organic growth opportunities and product portfolio diversity.
Midyear leverage of 5.6x is down from year-end levels of 6.7x,
largely because of the repayment of debt with the proceeds of the
sale of its Higher Education business," S&P said.

T SORRENTO: Can Employ Quilling Selander as General Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas has
authorized T Sorrento, Inc., to employ Quilling, Selander, Lownds,
Winslett & Moser, P.C., as general counsel.

Quilling Selander will, among other things, furnish legal advice
to the Debtor with regard to its powers, duties and
responsibilities as a debtor-in-possession and the continued
management of its affairs and assets under Chapter 11 at these
hourly rates:

      Hudson M. Jobe              $290
      Shareholders                $275-$400
      Associates                  $150-$275
      Paralegals                   $50-$105

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, Quilling Selander is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

                         About T Sorrento

Clark, Nevada-based T Sorrento, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
T Sorrento filed for a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Nev. Case
No. 12-13907) in Las Vegas on April 2, 2012.  RMR Investments,
Inc., asked the Nevada Bankruptcy Court to transfer the venue of
the case to the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, as
the Debtor's principal office and principal place of business are
located in Dallas and the mailing address for each of the Debtor's
officers is also located in Dallas, Texas.  The case was
thereafter transferred to the Northern District of Texas by a
June 27, 2012 court order.

T Sorrento disclosed assets of $17.4 million and debts of
$5.4 million in its schedules.  It said it owns almost 60 acres of
properties in Farmers Branch, Texas.


TEAM HEALTH: S&P Raises CCR to 'BB' on Sustained Growth
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised the corporate credit
rating on Knoxville, Tenn.-based Team Health Inc. to 'BB' from
'BB-'. The rating outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we affirmed our 'BB' issue-level rating (the
same as the corporate credit rating) on the company's senior
secured credit facility consisting of a $225 million revolver due
2017, $250 million term loan A due 2017, and $247.5 million term
loan B due 2018. The company intends to upsize its existing $142.5
term loan A in the amount of $107.5 million. We downwardly revised
our recovery rating on this debt to '3' from '2', reflecting a
larger debt burden in the event of default. The '3' recovery
rating indicates our expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%)
recovery for lenders in the event of payment default," S&P said.

"We believe the company will use the proceeds to reduce its
outstanding borrowings on its revolver resulting from recent
acquisitions," S&P said.

"The upgrade reflects Team Health's sustained track record of
growth, coupled with a conservative financial policy," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Rivka Gertzulin.

In addition, Blackstone's significant reduction in equity
ownership over the past few months has lowered the risk of a debt-
financed shareholder-friendly event.

The ratings on Knoxville, Tenn.-based physician and administrative
services outsourcing provider Team Health Inc. reflect the
company's "weak" business risk profile, based on its narrow
operating focus, exposure to reimbursement risk, and high levels
of bad debt. The ratings also reflect credit metrics consistent
with a "significant" financial risk profile.


TRIBUNE CO: News Corp Denies Talks With Tribune or L.A. Times
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ben Bain and Edmund Lee at Bloomberg News report that Rupert
Murdoch's News Corp. denied it has held talks to acquire the Los
Angeles Times or Chicago Tribune once the newspapers' owner,
Tribune Co., emerges from bankruptcy.

"Reports that News Corp. is in discussions with Tribune or the
L.A. Times are wholly inaccurate," Julie Henderson, a spokeswoman
for the New York-based media company, said Oct. 20 in an e-mailed
statement.  The denial encompasses reported talks with Tribune's
creditors, News Corp. said.

The report relates that published reports last week said that News
Corp. executives were in early negotiations with Tribune's debt
holders, including Los Angeles-based Oaktree Capital Management,
who will gain control of the Chicago-based company after court
supervision ends.  Oaktree declined to comment.  News Corp. is
preparing to separate its entertainment and publishing businesses,
in part to allow the 81-year-old Murdoch to pursue publishing
unencumbered.  News Corp. was forced to write down its $5.2
billion 2007 acquisition of Dow Jones & Co., owner of The Wall
Street Journal, and investors have gone sour on the newspaper
business as the Internet eats into advertising and profits.

                          Future Plans

The report notes that Mr. Murdoch, whose roots in newspapers date
back decades, has expressed interest in the Los Angeles Times in
the past.  He may go shopping for distressed newspapers once News
Corp.'s split becomes final next year, according to one person
with knowledge of the matter, who wasn't authorized to speak
publicly.  No News Corp. executives have reviewed any internal
Tribune financial information, said a person with knowledge of the
matter.  In August, some Tribune Co. creditors lost their bid to
halt the newspaper chain's plan to exit bankruptcy without first
posting a $1.5 billion bond.  Tribune owes creditors about
$13 billion.  The company is valued at more than $7 billion,
Tribune said in court papers.

According to Bloomberg, company officials have said Tribune will
be able to exit bankruptcy this year if federal regulators approve
the reorganization plan and transfers of its radio and television
licenses to proposed new owners.  News Corp., founded by Mr.
Murdoch, also owns Fox Broadcasting and the Twentieth Century Fox
film studio.  It publishes about 146 newspapers in Australia,
including The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and the Herald Sun,
according to its annual report.

The Bloomberg report discloses that in the U.K., the company is
embroiled in multiple police investigations for hacking into
mobile phones and computers by some of its reporters, as well as
the bribing of public officials. U.K. authorities also are
considering whether to bring corporate charges against News
Corp.'s board for the alleged crimes, the Guardian reported on
July 31.  News Corp. shares fell 2% to $24.91 in New York trading
on Oct. 19.  The Class A shares have gained 40% this year.

protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 08-13141) on Dec. 8,
2008.  The Debtors proposed Sidley Austin LLP as their counsel;
Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, PA, as Delaware counsel;
Lazard Ltd. and Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC as financial
advisors; and Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC as claims agent.  As
of Dec. 8, 2008, the Debtors have $7,604,195,000 in total assets

Committee in connection with the lawsuit filed against former
officers and shareholders for the 2007 LBO of Tribune.

Protracted negotiations and mediation efforts and numerous
proposed plans of reorganization filed by Tribune Co. and
competing creditor groups have delayed Tribune's emergence from
bankruptcy.  Many of the disputes among creditors center on the
2007 leveraged buyout fraudulence conveyance claims, the
resolution of which is a key issue in the bankruptcy case.  The
bankruptcy court has scheduled a May 16 hearing on Tribune's plan.

Judge Kevin J. Carey issued an order dated July 13, 2012,
overruling objections to the confirmation of Tribune Co. and its
debtor affiliates' Plan of Reorganization.  Before it formally
emerges from bankruptcy, Tribune must still get approval from the
Federal Communications Commission on new broadcast licenses and
waivers for overlapping ownership of television stations and
newspapers in certain markets.

News.  The newsletter tracks the chapter 11 proceeding undertaken

USG CORP: Incurs $29 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------------
USG Corporation reported a net loss of $29 million on $828 million
of net sales for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared
with a net loss of $115 million on $763 million of net sales for
the same period during the prior year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012, the Company reported a
net loss of $113 million on $2.40 billion of net sales, in
comparison with a net loss of $290 million on $2.18 billion of net
sales for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $3.66
billion in total assets, $3.54 billion in total liabilities and
$122 million in total stockholders' equity including
noncontrolling interest.

"Our innovative new products, modest demand improvement, new
wallboard pricing strategy and recent restructuring efforts
contributed to our third consecutive quarter of positive operating
profit," said James S. Metcalf, Chairman, President and CEO.  "We
achieved continued wallboard volume growth, and price was
essentially flat compared to the prior quarter, with any
improvement offset by regional and channel mix and freight cost
fluctuations.  In addition to strengthening our core businesses,
the announced sale of our European operations is another great
example of USG's Plan to Win.  Completion of this sale will allow
us to reallocate assets from a lower-growth market to joint
ventures supporting higher-growth markets in India, which will
allow us to diversify the company's earnings and offset some of
the cyclicality in our core businesses."

                            *     *     *

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

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

In the Sept. 11, 2012, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed USG Corporation's (NYSE: USG) ratings, including the
company's Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B-'.  The
Rating Outlook has been revised to Stable from Negative.

The ratings for USG reflect the company's leading market position
in all of its businesses, strong brand recognition, its large
manufacturing network and sizeable gypsum reserves.  Risks include
the cyclicality of the company's end-markets, excess capacity
currently in place in the U.S. wallboard industry, volatility of
wallboard pricing and shipments and the company's high leverage.

director of the Board, as the Company's Chief Financial Officer,

company experience and has a proven track record of leading and
enhancing companies' financial strategies.  In addition, he has

Mr. Wong concluded, "I want to thank Ms. Jiang for her many
significant contributions to UTStarcom during an important period
in the Company's history.  We wish her the very best in her future
endeavors."

with the Company's accounting, financial reporting or internal
control over financial reporting.  Ms. Jiang joined UTStarcom in
October 2009 and has served as Chief Financial Officer since
Sept. 1, 2011.

WALL STREET SYSTEMS: S&P Keeps 'B' CCR Over Term Loan Upsizings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings are
unaffected by Wall Street Systems Holdings Inc.'s announced
upsizings of its proposed term loans. The company is planning to
upsize its first-lien term loan due 2019 to $375 million from $335
million, and its proposed second-lien term loan due 2020 to $165
million from $140 million. (WSS Delaware Inc. is the borrower of
the loans.)

"The proposed first-lien facilities remain rated at 'B', with a
recovery rating of '3', indicating our expectation of meaningful
(50% to 70%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default. The rating on the proposed second-lien facility remains
at 'B-' with a recovery rating of '5' (10% to 30% recovery
expectation), though we now expect recovery at the lower end of
the 10%-30% range," S&P said.

"At the same time, we affirmed our 'B' corporate credit rating on
the company. The rating outlook is stable," S&P said.

"We expect the company to increase its proposed dividend to $195
million from $180 million and retain the remainder of the
incremental financing as cash," S&P said.

The rating reflects Wall Street Systems' "weak" business risk
profile (as per Standard & Poor's criteria) resulting from its
narrow market focus and its revenue exposure to the financial
sector and Europe. The rating also reflects the company's "highly
leveraged" financial profile, with pro forma leverage in the low-
8x area. "Nevertheless, we expect the company's solid base of
recurring revenue and good profitability to allow it to reduce
leverage to about 6x in 2013, as the impact of accounting for
deferred revenue cycles past purchase accounting write-downs," S&P
said.

Wall Street Systems' foreign exchange solutions provide trading,
risk management, operations, and accounting capabilities for
financial institutions, while its treasury management solutions
allow multinational corporations and central banks to manage cash
positions; foreign exchange, interest rate, and credit risk; and
fixed-income and equity investments.


WALLA WALLA TOWN: Case Dismissed for Failure to Obtain Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Marc Barreca of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Washington dismissed the Chapter 11 case of Walla
Walla Town Center LLC, for failure to obtain counsel.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 25, 2012,
Larry B. Feinstein of Vortman & Feinstein, notified the Court that
it has withdrawn from representing Walla Walla Town Center LLC in
the Chapter 11 proceeding.

According to Mr. Feinstein, the firm filed the Debtor's case as an
emergency because of a pending foreclosure.  However, the firm
informed the Debtor that it would not represent the Debtor in the
Chapter 11 itself.

Mr. Feinstein added that the firm was not paid a retainer by the
Debtor or from funds of the estate and the firm is holding no
funds.  The principal of the Debtor is suppose to reimburse
the firm for the court filing fee, since that was paid
electronically ECF.

WARNER MUSIC: S&P Rates $1.4-Bil. Senior Secured Debt 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Warner Music Group
Corp. (WMG)'s $630 million first-lien term loan due 2018, $150
million revolving credit due 2017, and $635 million of senior
secured notes due 2020 its 'BB-' issue-level rating with a
recovery rating of '2', indicating substantial (70% to 90%)
recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment default.

"At the same time, we affirmed the 'B+' corporate credit rating on
the company, as well as the issue-level ratings on the debt held
at the company's subsidiaries. The recovery ratings on these debt
issues remain unchanged. The rating outlook is negative," S&P
said.

"Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' corporate credit rating and
negative outlook reflect continued uncertainty surrounding
industry wide revenue and profitability trends affecting WGM over
the intermediate term, despite recent signs of stabilization in
the industry," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Chris
Valentine.

"Our characterization of WMG's business risk profile as 'weak'
(based on our criteria) reflects the volatile nature of the
recorded music industry, our expectation of continued physical
sales declines over the intermediate term, and modest growth in
music publishing. We view the financial risk profile as 'highly
leveraged,' considering WMG's high debt-to-EBITDA ratio and the
lack of visibility regarding the pace of leverage reduction given
uncertain industry trends. These factors are modestly offset by
WMG's 'strong' liquidity," S&P said.

"WMG is the third largest recorded music company, with a global
market share of about 15.1% in 2011, up modestly from 14.9% in
2010 but meaningfully below the combination of Universal Music
Group's (27.9% share) and EMI's (9.9%) recorded music division. We
believe competitive risk to WMG and others could increase
moderately as a result of this transaction despite the upcoming
sale of 60% of EMI's European assets. Potential risks surrounding
the merger of rivals include higher competition for WMG in signing
new artists, and Universal gaining leverage with emerging digital
distribution platforms compared with competitors. WMG unit
Warner/Chappell is the third largest music publisher, with a
global market share of 14.1% in 2011. Sony/ATV Music Publishing
LLC's acquisition of EMI Music Publishing in April 2012 confers a
share of roughly 31% (excluding potential divestitures), well
ahead of Warner/Chappell, potentially increasing competition to
sign composers and songwriters, and also ahead of No. 2 publisher
Universal Music Publishing Group (22.2%). Digital growth has
largely offset physical CD declines, a trend we expect to
continue. Over the intermediate term, the industry will need to
continue to adapt to emerging technologies as the shift from
physical to digital continues," S&P said.


WESCO INT'L: S&P Affirms 'BB-' CCR on Acquisition Announcement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on
Pittsburgh, Pa.-based WESCO International Inc., including the 'BB-
' corporate credit rating. The outlook remains positive.

"The rating affirmation reflects our view that the company's
leverage will, upon completion of the acquisition of EECOL
Electric (not rated), increase to about 4x pro forma from about
2.5x debt to EBITDA currently, which would remain consistent with
our expectations for the 'BB-' rating," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Gregoire Buet. "The outlook remains positive,
reflecting our expectations that debt reduction from free cash
flow should lead to leverage falling below 3.5x in the next 12
months. We consider the financial risk profile as 'aggressive.' We
view the acquisition as positive for WESCO's business risk
profile, which we continue to consider 'satisfactory.'"

"WESCO is one of the top five electrical distributors in the U.S.
and serves customers across the construction, industrial,
governmental, and utility infrastructure markets. The acquisition
of EECOL will strengthen WESCO's presence in Canada and further
diversify its presence in Latin America. EECOL operating margins
are also somewhat higher than WESCO's, reflecting lower exposure
to competitive bidding conditions for construction projects, and a
higher proportion of revenues derived from maintenance, repair,
and operations. This should support overall profitability," S&P
said.

"Electrical distribution markets both in the U.S. and Canada
remain highly fragmented. Although this can lead to intense
pricing pressure in a downturn, it also enables leading players
like WESCO to grow at faster rate than the underlying market. It
also allows WESCO to use its scale to obtain global accounts with
major industrial manufacturers and to leverage its cost
structure," S&P said.

"Improving demand in WESCO's industrial and construction markets
have contributed to solid revenue and profit growth in the past
two years, but growth rates have softened in the third quarter of
2012. We expect low- to mid-single-digit revenue expansion next
year, reflecting mixed conditions across key markets, and believe
EBITDA margins could flatten around 7.5% pro forma for EECOL and
other recent acquisitions," S&P said.

"We view WESCO's financial risk profile as aggressive. We estimate
that total debt to EBITDA pro forma for the acquisition will be
about 4x, and funds from operations (FFO) to total debt will be
about 17%. These measures are consistent with our expectations for
the rating, and we expect they will improve in the next 12 months.
Because WESCO's business model is highly working capital
intensive, we expect working capital requirements to moderate
along with the softer rate of revenue organic growth that we
expect in 2013. This should enable WESCO to generate free
operating cash flow of potentially more than $250 million in 2013.
Assuming some continued but more measured acquisition activity, we
expect credit measures could improve to less than 3.5x debt to
EBITDA and toward 20% FFO to total debt over the next 12 months.
If WESCO achieves and sustains these measures, these ratios could
be consistent with a higher rating," S&P said.

"The outlook is positive. Although we expect financial leverage to
be about 4x pro forma at the closing of the EECOL acquisition, we
believe cash flow generation applied to debt reduction could lead
to leverage falling below 3.5x within 12 months. This is based on
our assumption for low- to mid-single-digit revenue growth, steady
margins, and about $150 million of debt reduction in 2013," S&P
said.

"We could raise the rating if WESCO does prioritize debt reduction
next year, remains disciplined in its acquisition strategy and
shareholder returns initiatives, and if we believe that leverage
will likely remain less than 3.5x and FFO to debt coverage greater
than 20%, taking into account the cyclicality of the company's end
markets," S&P said.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if the company's ratios
remain around 4x debt to EBITDA and 15% FFO to total debt for a
sustained period. This could be a result of more aggressive growth
initiatives, such as acquisition spending that delays the debt
reduction that we expect, or because of weaker industrial activity
or operational shortfalls that cause revenues to decline by more
than 5% and erode EBITDA margins by more than 100 basis points,"
S&P said.

WESTERN MOHEGAN: Bankruptcy Case Dismissed Again
------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Western Mohegan Tribe and Nation of New York,
which claims to be a tribe although it's not formally recognized
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was tossed from bankruptcy court
for a second time in four months.

According to the report, this time, the U.S. Bankruptcy Judge in
Albany, New York, barred the tribe from filing for bankruptcy
again for six months.  The first stab at a Chapter 11
reorganization was dismissed in June by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in Chicago.  In the new bankruptcy filing in August, the tribe
didn't disclose the prior bankruptcy or that it had been
dismissed.

The report relates that the bankruptcy judge in Albany brought the
tribe into court, saying he would dismiss the case because the
tribe didn't have a lawyer.  Only individuals can file bankruptcy
without a lawyer.  In the order dismissing the second bankruptcy,
the judge said that both bankruptcies were filed to halt
foreclosure.  In addition to lacking a lawyer, the judge said the
tribe had "no regular income, no business, no employees, and no
prospect for a sale of its assets without contingencies."

                       About Western Mohegan

Western Mohegan Tribe and Nation of New York filed, without a
lawyer, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bank. N.D.N.Y. Case NO.
12-12252) in Albany, New York, on Aug. 29, 2012.

The tribe characterizes itself as an unincorporated association.
The tribe and its 200 members own 250 acres of property located in
Ulster Country, New York, improved with 50 cottages, a hotel, an
apartment building and museum.  It says the property is worth $2.5
million, and secures a debt of $535,000.

The Debtor estimated less than $10 million in total assets and
liabilities.

Western Mohegan first filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D.
Ill. Case No. 12-09292) on March 9, 2012, in Chicago.  Judge Susan
Pierson Sonderby presided over the case.  The Law Office of
William J. Factor, Ltd., served as counsel in that case.  The
previous bankruptcy case was dismissed in June by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Chicago.

The U.S. Trustee cited three reasons for its request:

     -- The Debtor filed for bankruptcy to invoke the automatic
        stay to prevent then-manager Ron Stover from testifying in
        a deposition.  Subsequently, after signing the Schedules
        of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Financial
        Affairs and authorizing the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Stover
        refused to appear and testify under oath at the 11 U.S.C.
        Section 341 meeting and resigned;

     -- The Debtor failed to disclose transfers of heavy equipment
        to an affiliate or pre-petition payments to insiders,
        including over $680,000 in "consulting fees" to insider
        -controlled entities; and

     -- The Debtor's management is unclear.  While the Debtor's
        members appointed a new manager after Mr. Stover's
        resignation, Mr. Stover appears to still exert control
        over the Debtor.

YNS ENTERPRISE: Settles With Bank; Wants Chapter 11 Case Dismissed
------------------------------------------------------------------
YNS Enterprise No. 1, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss
its Chapter 11 case.

Krikor J. Meshefejian, Esq., at Levene Neale Bender Rankin & Brill
LLP, YNS' counsel, tells the Court that prior to the Debtor's
bankruptcy filing, MLCFC 2006-4 Foothill Retail Limited
Partnership commenced foreclosure proceedings against the Debtor's
property known as Masi Plaza in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

Specifically, on June 8, 2012, the Bank filed a "Verified
Complaint For: (1) Judicial Foreclosure; And (2) Specific
Performance For Appointment Of Receiver And Injunctive Relief" in
the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, Case
No. CIVR1204519.  A non-judicial trustee's foreclosure sale of the
Property was also scheduled for August 6, 2012.  Prior to the
foreclosure sale, the Debtor filed for bankruptcy protection, to
stay the foreclosure proceedings and afford the Debtor additional
time to negotiate, and enter into, a loan modification agreement
which the Debtor and the Bank originally began negotiating prior
to the Petition Date.

The Debtor and the Bank have agreed upon a modification of the
Loan.  The representatives of the Bank have confirmed that the
modified terms set forth in the Term Sheet have been approved by
the loan committee of the Bank, and also, that notice of such
terms has been given to the bondholders who have an interest in
the loan, and that the period by which an objections of the
bondholders must be given has now expired.

The terms of the agreed loan modification have been incorporated
by the Bank into the draft Loan Modification Agreement.  The
Agreement is subject to finalization and execution, which the
Debtor anticipates would occur prior to the hearing on the
Debtor's Motion to Dismiss.  The Debtor and its equity holders
have supplied evidence to the Bank that the monies necessary to
fund the loan modification are on deposit and available for that
purpose.  The Agreement will resolve all of the Debtor's pending
disputes with the Bank, and therefore, will resolve all of the
Debtor's material disputes with all creditors and parties in
interest.

Immediately upon dismissal of this case, the Debtor will pay in
full any outstanding U.S. Trustee quarterly fees and will arrange
for payment of its general unsecured creditors in the ordinary
course of its business.  The Debtor anticipates that as of the
time of dismissal of the case it will have it will have in excess
of $500,000 on hand, in addition to the funds which the Debtor has
set aside to fund the loan modification.  The Debtor has remained
current in its unsecured obligations on a post-petition basis.  As
a result of the Agreement, this bankruptcy case serves no further
purpose other than to delay the implementation of the Agreement
and the payment in the ordinary course of business to all
creditors their pre-petition claims against the Debtor.

The hearing on the motion is scheduled on Oct. 23, 2012.

YNS ENTERPRISE: Court Approves Hiring of John D. Yoo as Accountant
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has authorized YNS Enterprise No. 1, LLC, to
employ John D. Yoo, CPA, as accountant effective Aug. 5, 2012.

As a corporate debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, the Debtor
said it requires the services of an accountant to assist the
Debtor with the preparation of tax returns during the pendency of
this case and to provide the Debtor with tax advice on an as
needed basis.  The Debtor has decided that Mr. Yoo is the ideal
accountant to represent the Debtor taking into account firm size,
experience, skill level and cost.  Mr. Yoo has previously served
as the Debtor's accountant and is therefore familiar with the
Debtor, its management, and the Debtor's financial affairs.

Mr. Yoo will bill his time for the services he provides to the
Debtor on an hourly basis in accordance with Yoo's standard hourly
billing rates and will seek reimbursement of expenses in
accordance with all applicable rules and regulations.  Mr. Yoo's
current hourly rate is $150.

The Debtor has not paid any retainer to Mr. Yoo for services in
connection with the Debtor's Chapter 11 case.  However, the Debtor
has previously utilized Mr. Yoo's services and has previously paid
Mr. Yoo for such services.  During the one year period prior to
the Debtor's bankruptcy filing, the Debtor has paid Mr. Yoo $5,000
for income tax return preparation, and $7,200 for retainer fees
($600 per month retainer for general consultation).  As of the
Petition Date, the Debtor owed Mr. Yoo approximately $600.  In
connection with this Application, Mr. Yoo has agreed to waive his
pre-petition claims against the Debtor.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, Mr. Yoo is disinterested
and holds no claim or interest adverse to the estate.

* Asbestos Victims Seeks to Overturn $510-Mil. Loss
---------------------------------------------------
Sean McLernon at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that thousands of
asbestos victims and their attorneys told the Second Circuit on
Tuesday that it should overturn a federal court's order allowing
Travelers Indemnity Co. to avoid paying $510 million in settlement
funds, arguing that the agreements were finalized by a bankruptcy
court's clarifying order.


* Rule Gives FDIC Power Over Contracts With Failed SIFIs' Units
---------------------------------------------------------------
Keith Goldberg at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. on Oct. 16, 2012, issued a final rule
mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act that prevents counterparties from
breaking contracts with subsidiaries and affiliates of
systemically important financial institutions simply because the
parent company has gone under.

Bankruptcy Law360 relates that the rule gives the FDIC, as
receiver of the failed institution, the authority to enforce the
contracts of the SIFI subsidiaries and affiliates despite clauses
that could terminate, accelerate or provide for other remedies
based on the SIFI's insolvency, financial condition or
receivership.


* Corporate Budgets for Bankruptcy Experts to Rise in 2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Karlee Weinmann at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that companies will
spend more on bankruptcy counsel in the coming year as bankruptcy
continues to ingrain itself as an accepted way of doing business
and parties become more aggressive about boosting their returns in
the process, a new study on corporate legal spending says.

Corporate budgets for bankruptcy law specialists have increased
since 2010 and the trend will last through 2013, with spending
projected to top out at $1.57 billion ? its highest mark in seven
years, according to the BTI Premium Practices Forecast 2013 report
cited by Bankruptcy Law360.


* Junk Companies' Cash Enough to Forestall Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that, according to report from Moody's Investors Service,
not even junk-rated companies with the weakest cash positions will
prompt a spike in corporate bankruptcy through the end of 2013.

According to the report, junk-rated companies "have good liquidity
to manage their cash needs through the end of 2013," Moody's said
in the Oct. 17 report.  Even among companies in the steel, coal
and newspaper industries, liquidity is "not at alarming levels,"
Moody's said.  Moody's liquidity-stress index remained at 3.5% in
mid-October, unchanged from August and September.  The index
touched a record low of 3.1% in July.  The index represents the
percentage of junk-rated companies with the weakest liquidity.

The Bloomberg report discloses that the high for the liquidity
index was 20.9% in March 2009.  Moody's continues to predict that
the default rate for junk companies will decline to 3% by the end
of 2013.  At the end of September, the junk default rate was 3.5%,
Moody's said.


* Atty's Bottle Of Wine Apology Not Enough to Stop Sanctions
------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Mahoney at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the Eleventh
Circuit on Monday affirmed a lower court?s sanctions and
suspension order against a Florida attorney who offered a bottle
of wine to a bankruptcy judge after calling his findings "half-
baked."

A three-judge panel ruled in an unpublished opinion that U.S.
Bankruptcy Court Judge John Olson did not violate attorney Kevin
Gleason?s First Amendment rights when he suspended him for 60 days
after receiving the peace offering, Bankruptcy Law360 relates.

                            *********

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

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

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

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

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

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

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