30DC INC: Announces Major MagCast Platform Upgrades
---------------------------------------------------
30DC, Inc., announced a major MagCast upgrade and officially
launched Version 3 of the MagCast Digital Publishing Platform.
The feature upgrades were developed, in part, from the feedback
from the Company's growing community of MagCasters, which includes
250+ live Newsstand digital magazines.

Ed Dale, the CEO of 30DC stated, "Building a magazine is just the
first step.  The MagCast platform with its new enhanced features
provides progressive and advanced marketing and distribution for
our customers.  These new features will assist in keeping 30DC at
the forefront of the digital magazine industry, all the while
keeping MagCast as the digital magazine platform of choice for
self-publishers seeking market leadership and influence."

                          About 30DC Inc.

New York-based 30DC, Inc., provides Internet marketing services
and related training to help Internet companies in operating their
businesses.  It operates in two divisions, 30 Day Challenge and
Immediate Edge.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.44 million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2011, following a net loss of $1.06 million in
fiscal 2010.

As reported in the TCR on Dec. 19, 2011, Marcum LLP, in New York,
expressed substantial doubt about 30DC's ability to continue as a
going concern, following the Company's results for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has had recurring losses, and has a working capital and
stockholders' deficiency as of June 30, 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2012, showed $1.82
million in total assets, $2.21 million in total liabilities and a
$394,450 total stockholders' deficiency.

The Company said in its quarterly report for the period ending
March 31, 2012, that if it is unable to raise additional capital
or encounters unforeseen circumstances, it may be required to take
additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include,
but not necessarily be limited to, issuance of additional shares
of the Company's stock to settle operating liabilities which would
dilute existing shareholders, curtailing its operations,
suspending the pursuit of its business plan and controlling
overhead expenses.  The Company cannot provide any assurance that
new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable
terms, if at all.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


710 LONG RIDGE: Begins Bankruptcy Process for Rejecting CBAs
------------------------------------------------------------
Five Connecticut health care centers managed by HealthBridge
Management LLC have sought Chapter 11 protection and quickly filed
a motion under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1113(e) to implement interim
modifications to the facilities' collective bargaining agreements
with the New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1199,
SEIU, which represents about 800 of the 1,140 employees of the
Debtors.

A hearing on the motion is scheduled for March 1, 2013, at 10:00
a.m.

The CBAs expired March 2011 but remained in place pursuant to the
National Labor Relations Act.  The Debtors, however, told the
Court that, by continuing to operate under the terms of their
expired CBAs, they will collectively suffer losses exceeding
$1.3 million per month.

The Debtors said that, absent ultimate consensual agreements with
the Union or the imposition of such other terms in accordance with
applicable law, the Debtors will join those skilled nursing
facilities that have been forced to close in recent years in
Connecticut, to the detriment of their employees and patients.

The Debtors disclosed that after more than 16 months of
negotiations and 38 bargaining sessions, in June 2012, good faith
negotiation for new agreements between the Debtors and the Union
reached an impasse.

On July 3, 2012, the Union declared a strike, and 700 Union
employees participated in the strike and walked off the job.  As
striking workers left the Facilities, certain Union employees
committed a series of unconscionable acts of medical sabotage that
put their frail, elderly, and memory-impaired patients at
immediate and significant risk, the Debtors told the Court.

The Sec. 1113 process will allow the Centers to request Court
authority to implement first temporary and then permanent
modifications to their 2004 CBAs if the Centers are unable to
implement the modifications through good-faith collective
bargaining with SEIU, District 1199.

"When operating under the expired CBAs, operating revenues were
consumed by labor costs, leaving the Debtors with insufficient
funds to meet the multitude of other costs associated with
operating their facilities," said Michael D. Sirota, Esq., at
Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, counsel to the Debtors.

The Debtors said that without the changes, they will be unable to
continue operating and will be forced to close down and 1,140
employees will lose their jobs.

                             The CBAs

The Debtors believe the terms of their CBAs are substantially
worse economically for the Debtors than nearly every other CBA in
the State of Connecticut governing unionized skilled nursing
facilities.  For example, under each CBA, employees are eligible
to receive single, two-person, or even full family coverage under
a "Cadillac" private medical plan, including medical, dental,
vision and life insurance, free of charge without having to make
any contributions.  With health care costs skyrocketing in recent
years it is virtually unheard of for employees to rely solely on
their employers for the total cost of private health care
coverage.  In addition, the wages paid by the Debtors under their
CBAs are extraordinarily higher than at other unionized facilities
where bargaining unit employees are represented by the same Union.

                       Interim Modifications

Pending negotiations, the Debtors ask the Court to approve interim
modifications to the terms and conditions of employment for the
unionized employees that were in effect on June 16, 2012.

The interim modifications sought by the Debtors are the same terms
and conditions that have been in place for 432 non-union employees
since Oct. 31, 2011.

The requisite modifications include allowing the Debtors to cease
contributions to the Union pension fund and training fund,
requiring employees to contribute to their health care coverage,
reducing the nonproductive time of employees, and allowing the
Debtors to staff the Facilities at an appropriate level.  The
changes will save the Debtors approximately $1.3 million per
month.

Benefit reductions imposed to non-union employees in November 2011
include the 30-minute paid meal break was eliminated reducing the
compensable workweek from 40 hours to 37.5 hours; aggregate paid
sick time and vacations were reduced by 5 days; the number of paid
holidays was reduced from 8 to 7; shift and weekend premiums were
eliminated for new hires; uniform allowances were replaced by the
Facilities providing uniforms; employee contributions for health
benefits were increased and the coverage provided was reduced; and
the payroll was changed from weekly to bi-weekly.

                   Strikers and ALJ Proceedings

The dispute between the Debtors and the Union over whether an
impasse was reached after good faith negotiations is the subject
of proceedings before an Administrative Law Judge of the National
Labor Relations Board.  On Dec. 11, 2012, an injunction order
under Section 10(j) of the NLRA was entered by the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut requiring
reinstatement of the Terms of Employment existing prior to the
Implemented Terms to restore the pre-implementation status quo
solely under the provisions of the NLRA.

The injunction order was not a determination of the merits of any
of the issues in the pending ALJ Proceedings, and while it
required reinstatement of the striking employees, it specifically
did not make any determination with respect to the economic
hardships associated with reinstating the terms of the expired
CBAs.

The Debtors said that under the Sec. 1113 motion, they are not
seeking any modification of the requirement of the 10(j)
Injunction that the strikers be reinstated.  It is also important
to recognize that the Motion is not an attempt to have the
Bankruptcy Court re-litigate whether the District Court properly
granted the 10(j) Injunction or whether the District Court
properly applied the standards under the NLRA.  Those issues are
now pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.  Moreover,
the Debtors are not asking the Bankruptcy Court to address the
merits of or litigate the issues pending in the pending ALJ
Proceedings.  The next scheduled hearing dates are Feb. 25 to 27,
2013, and the Debtors fully intend to proceed.

                         First Day Motions

Along with the voluntary petitions, the Centers filed a variety of
"first-day" motions requesting authority to continue routine
operations, including postpetition payments to suppliers and
uninterrupted employee wages and benefits.  The Centers expect to
receive Court approval of the motions at the initial Court
hearing.

The first day motions include a request to extend the schedules
deadline by 30 days to April 10, 2013.

The Court has granted the Debtors' request for expedited
consideration of the first day motions.  A hearing was scheduled
for Feb. 27.

                       About 710 Long Ridge

710 Long Ridge Road Operating Company II, LLC and four affiliates
own sub-acute and long-term nursing care facilities for the
elderly in Connecticut.  The facilities are Long Ridge of
Stamford, Newington Health Care Center, Westport Health Care
Center, West River Health Care Center, and Danbury Health Care
Center.

710 Long Ridge and its affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D.N.J. Case Nos. 13-13653 to 13-13657) on Feb. 24, 2013.

The Debtors owe $18.9 million to M&T Bank and $7.99 million on
loans from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Federal Housing Administration.

Michael D. Sirota, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman &
Leonard, serve as counsel to the Debtors.  Logan & Company, Inc.
is the claims and notice agent.


ACTIVECARE INC: Delays Form 10-Q for Dec. 31 Quarter
----------------------------------------------------
ActiveCare, Inc., quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended Dec. 31, 2012, could not be filed without unreasonable
effort or expense within the prescribed time period because
management requires additional time to compile and verify the data
required to be included in the report.  The report will be filed
within five days of the date the original report was due.

                          About ActiveCare

South West Valley City, Utah-based ActiveCare, Inc., is organized
into three business segments based primarily on the nature of the
Company's products.  The Stains and Reagents segment is engaged in
the business of manufacturing and marketing medical diagnostic
stains, solutions and related equipment to hospitals and medical
testing labs.  The CareServices segment is engaged in the business
of developing, distributing and marketing mobile health monitoring
and concierge services to distributors and customers.  The Chronic
Illness Monitoring segment is primarily engaged in the monitoring
of diabetic patients on a real time basis.

The Company's business plan is to develop and market products for
monitoring the health of and providing assistance to mobile and
homebound seniors and the chronically ill, including those who may
require a personal assistant to check on them during the day to
ensure their safety and well being.

ActiveCare incurred a net loss of $12.36 million for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of $7.89 million
during the prior year.

ActiveCare's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $5.87 million
in total assets, $13.59 million in total liabilities, and a
$7.71 million total stockholders' deficit.

Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., in Salt Lake City, Utah, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Sept. 30, 2012, citing recurring
operating losses and an accumulated deficit which conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.


ADVANCED LIVING: Will Have Patient Care Ombudsman
-------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge H. Christopher Mott on Feb. 22, 2013, conducted
hearings on certain "first day" motions filed by Advanced Living
Technologies, Inc.

According to the Debtor's voluntary chapter 11 petition, the
Debtor is a "health care business".  Given the status of the case
and the statements made at the hearing, the Court ordered the
United States Trustee to appoint a patient care ombudsman under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 333 to monitor the quality of patient care and to
represent the interests of the patients of the health care
business of the Debtor.

                About Advanced Living Technologies

Advanced Living Technologies, Inc., owner of six skilled nursing
facilities throughout Texas, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
W.D. Tex. Case No. 13-10313) on Feb. 20, 2013, with plans to sell
substantially the facilities as a going-concern in two months.

The Debtor previously sought Chapter 11 protection in January 2008
(Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No. 08-50040) and exited bankruptcy in May
2008.

In the new Chapter 11 case, the Debtor has tapped Hohmann, Taube &
Summers, LLP, as counsel, CohnReznick LLP, as financial advisor,
and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as investment banker.

As of the new Chapter 11 filing, the Debtor had total assets of
$12 million and liabilities of $25 million.


ADVANCED LIVING: Hires RBC Capital as Broker & Advisor
------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Living Technologies, Inc., asks for approval from the
Bankruptcy Court to employ RBC Capital Markets as broker and
marketing agent during the course of the bankruptcy case.

In February 2013, the Debtor hired RBC, and specifically managing
director David B. Fields, to market the Debtor's facilities and
guide the Debtor through the marketing and sale process.

RBC has prepared marketing materials and a virtual data room and
has worked with four prospective parties to execute a non-
disclosure and confidentiality agreements.  Two parties have
emerged as potential stalking horse bidders.  RBC is presently in
negotiation with these interested parties.

Postpetition, RBC will perform various functions, including
conducting the process to facilitate an asset sale of all of the
Company's facilities assets and debts.

Subject to the Court's approval, RBC intends to be compensated as
follows: (i) a base fee of $50,000; (ii) a success fee of 3% of
gross sale proceeds; and (iii) reimbursement of actual and
necessary expenses incurred.  RBC will be paid a minimum fee of
$250,000 upon the consummation of a transaction.  RBC will apply
to the Court for payment of compensation and reimbursement of
expenses.  The firm's allowed fees and expenses will be payable
upon the closing of the sale of the Facilities.

RBC does not have an outstanding balance due from the Debtor for
billed unpaid prepetition work for which it would have a claim
against the estate.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, information and belief, RBC
represents no other entity in connection with the Debtor's case,
is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ADVANCED LIVING: Roll-Up Omitted From Interim Financing Order
-------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Living Technologies, Inc. has arranged postpetition
financing that would help fund operations pending a sale of its
nursing facilities.

The bankruptcy judge on Feb. 25 signed an interim approval to the
DIP financing.  A final hearing is scheduled for March 21, 2013,
at 10:00 a.m.

The DIP financing is provided by lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., as indenture trustee, who are already owed $19.1 million for
bonds issued prepetition.

MidCap Financial, LLC, owed $1.5 million for financing secured by
a first-lien on accounts receivable, objected to the financing,
arguing that the Debtor attempts to (i) use MidCap's collateral
without providing MidCap with adequate protection and (ii) to
employ Sec. 364 of the Bankruptcy Code to impermissibly elevate a
prepetition claim.

The Debtor in its DIP financing motion sought approval to use cash
collateral and obtain up to $351,000 in postpetition financing.
However, a paragraph in the interim order provides that the
proceeds of the DIP facility will be used to repay in full the
$578,000 emergency bridge facility provided by Wells Fargo
provided just before the bankruptcy filing.

Thus, MidCap pointed out, the Debtor was actually asking for
$350,000 in cash plus a roll-up of the $578,001 amount into the
DIP Facility.  MidCap stated that Sec. 364 of the Bankruptcy Code
requires that incurring debt is to occur after (i) notice, (ii) a
hearing, and (iii) authorization from a court.  Thus Sec. 364
cannot be used to elevate whatever prepetition claim Wells Fargo
may have to superpriority status, according to MidCap.

MidCap also claimed that the Debtor is unable to provide adequate
protection because MidCap's collateral is comprised of accounts
receivable that, once collected, are gone.  In other words, each
time the Debtor collects MidCap's collateral, that collateral is
eroded and the Debtor has no unencumbered assets upon which the
Debtor could grant sufficient replacement liens.

The Court granted interim approval of the DIP facility after the
provision authorizing the repayment of the emergency bridge loan
was intentionally omitted from the interim order.

Objections to final approval of the DIP financing are due
March 14.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Bankr. Court Hearing on Merger Set for March 27
------------------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. is asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to approve its $11 billion merger with US
Airways Group Inc.

The airlines announced a merger that would create the world's
largest carrier.  Under the deal, equity in the combined company
will be split, with 72% to AMR's stakeholders and creditors and
28% to US Airways shareholders.  US Airways Chief Executive Doug
Parker will run the company as CEO while AMR CEO Tom Horton will
serve as chairman through the first annual meeting of
shareholders.

The merged company is expected to generate more than $1 billion
in annual saving by 2015.  It would have revenue of about $39
billion, based on 2012 figures, ahead of United Continental,
which had revenue of about $37 billion.

The combined company would operate under the American Airlines
name.  AMR would be named American Airlines Group Inc.
immediately after the effectiveness of the merger.

The deal can be terminated by either company if not consummated
by October 14.  That deadline can be extended to Dec. 13 under
certain circumstances, AMR said in court filings.

The merger will take effect through a restructuring plan that has
not been proposed yet.  The effectiveness of that plan and the
closing of the merger will occur together, according to the
company.

AMR has an April 15 deadline for filing the restructuring plan,
and a June 17 deadline for soliciting votes from creditors.

The first of three major hearings to approve the merger will take
place on March 27, when U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane is
scheduled to give the court's approval of the deal.  Whether
there is any serious opposition to the merger will be known on
March 15, the deadline for filing objections, Bloomberg News
reported.

The other major hurdles are the bankruptcy court's approval of
the outline of the plan or the so-called disclosure statement,
and the confirmation hearing for approval of the reorganization.

The $11 billion deal is formalized in a 115-page agreement, which

                      Employee Arrangements

AMR also disclosed what it will do to address employee issues
such as retention bonuses and severance pay.

The company said it would set aside up to $30 million to retain
midmanagers while the merger is being implemented.  Another $29
million would also be set aside to be paid to senior managers and
directors for their long-term incentive plan bonuses earned but
not paid in 2011, 2012 and 2013, Dallas Morning News reported.

Meanwhile, severance pay to American Airlines' managers and
executives at the managing director level and up would mimic that
of US Airways.

AMR also disclosed that nonunion employees at American Airlines
and American Eagle will receive pay raises this year.

American Airlines' passenger service agents will receive a pay
increase of up to 50 cents an hour in October while American
Eagle passenger service agents will get pay raises of about 1.5%
in the first quarter. Executives at the rank of vice president
and higher will get a 3% raise in the second quarter, Dallas
Morning News reported.

Pay increases for union employees were previously spelled out in
deals with all unions at American Airlines, and the pilots' union
at US Airways.

Meanwhile, an AMR filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission disclosed that Mr. Horton will get a $19.87 million
severance payment when the merger is completed.

Mr. Horton will get $9.94 million in cash and the rest will be in
shares of the merged company.  He will also get an office and
office help for two years, lifetime flight and travel benefits.

Documents filed by AMR with the SEC last week also show that
employees began expressing fears about the merger, according to a
report by Tulsa World.

A transcript of a meeting between Mr. Parker and US Airways
workers on the day of the merger announcement, which was filed
with the SEC shows that the workers are concerned about the
"billion dollars in synergy savings" and how the merger would
impact employee benefits.

Posts on AMR's internal website also show that some employees are
worried about their jobs and company stability, Tulsa World
reported.

An employee in North Carolina wrote company officials on the
internal website that the proximity of some American Airlines and
US Airways operations was cause for concern.

"As someone who just recently moved from Tucson (Ariz.), the
merger scares me," wrote the employee.  "I am settling in and
making my home here at the SERO (reservations center near
Raleigh, N.C.) and I hope the fact that US Air has an office in
Winston-Salem (N.C.) doesn't change the status of our office."

Transport Workers Union 514 President Sam Cirri said there was
"cautious optimism" about the merger because it would eventually
bring changes to the company, Tulsa World reported.

                   AMR Inks Deal With Creditors

In connection with the merger, AMR reached an agreement with
creditors holding about $1.2 billion in claims.

The creditors have agreed to support a restructuring plan
implementing the merger and guaranteeing a minimum distribution
of 3.5% of the stock of the combined companies to AMR's existing
shareholders.  The agreement needs approval by the bankruptcy
court.

The creditors include the so-called ad hoc group of AMR Corp.
creditors, which is comprised of financial institutions and
private investors.  The group is represented by Milbank, Tweed,
Hadley & McCloy, and Houlihan Lokey Inc.

"We are pleased that we have been able to reach an agreement with
AMR regarding a fair and appropriate allocation of value among
AMR stakeholders and believe that such agreement will avoid
significant litigation that might otherwise jeopardize
consummation of the merger," Gerard Uzzi, Milbank's financial
restructuring partner, said in a statement.

              American Airlines, US Airways to Defend
                   Merger Plan on Capitol Hill

American Airlines and US Airways will defend the proposed merger
at a hearing before a subcommittee of the House of
Representatives' Judiciary Committee, according to a February 25
report by Reuters.

An expert on the airline industry will also testify and say that
the deal may well harm consumers.

The Justice Department's Antitrust Division will review the deal
to ensure it complies with antitrust law.  Lawmakers from the
Senate Judiciary subcommittee have also announced plans for a
hearing on the proposed merger, Reuters reported.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Seeks Changes to Trading Restrictions
--------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. asked for permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Manhattan to make changes to the procedures restricting certain
transfers of interest in AMR common stock, and certain transfers
of claims against the company and its affiliated debtors.

The company wants to revise the procedures to protect the
potential value of its net operating loss carryforwards,
alternative minimum tax credits, and certain other tax
attributes.  The procedures will allow the company to carry over
$7 billion in net operating losses to offset future taxable
income.

The revised procedures apply with respect to the AMR stock and
any options or similar interests to acquire AMR stock, and with
respect to claims against the company and its affiliated debtors.
They impose restrictions and notification requirements to be
effective nunc pro tunc to November 29, 2011, AMR said in a court
filing.

A copy of the proposed order detailing the revised procedures can
be accessed for free at http://is.gd/RmAnFB

A court hearing is scheduled for March 27.  Objections are due by

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Officials Defend Merger at House Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------
David Koenig, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that executives
of American Airlines and US Airways told lawmakers Tuesday that
combining their companies will benefit consumers by creating a
tougher competitor for industry giants United and Delta.

Although an American-US Airways merger would create the world's
largest airline, the new American would still have less than 25%
of the U.S. market, the executives said, according to the
Bloomberg report.  Asked directly whether prices would go up with
fewer airlines left, the executives said they didn't know.

Bloomberg related that the executives made the comments at a
hearing of a House antitrust law subcommittee.

American, owned by AMR Corp., and US Airways Group Inc. announced
mid-February that they planned to merge in a deal valued at
$11 billion in stock.  The new airline would be called American
but run by US Airways' CEO Doug Parker.

Two opponents of the merger -- and congressmen sympathetic to
their views -- said they feared that it would lead to higher
prices and less service on routes where American and US Airways
now compete, Bloomberg said.  They said that American was
completing a successful restructuring, US Airways just reported a
record profit, and each would do fine on its own.

AMR general counsel Gary Kennedy and US Airways executive vice
president Stephen Johnson said the companies needed to merge to
compete with United Continental Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines
Inc., each of which grew bigger through recent acquisitions,
according to the Bloomberg report.

Bloomberg noted that Congress has no formal role in approving the
merger -- that's up to antitrust regulators in the U.S. Department
of Justice, the federal judge overseeing American's bankruptcy
case and company shareholders.  Lawmakers used the hearing to
detail their positions and, in several cases, to make parochial
pitches for additional service at local airports, according to the
report.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Goulet, Kirby to Lead Merger Integration
-----------------------------------------------------------
Reuters related that US Airways Group Inc. (LCC.N) and American
Airlines, which announced earlier this month that they would merge
to form the world's biggest air carrier, named executives on
Monday to lead their integration team.

Scott Kirby, president of US Airways, and Bev Goulet, chief
restructuring officer at AMR Corp's (AAMRQ.PK) American, will
develop plans so the airlines can start melding as soon as the $11
billion merger closes, expected in the third quarter, the chief
executives of the carriers said in a staff memo, according to the
Reuters report.

Reuters, citing the memo, related that Mr. Kirby, who has been US
Airways president since 2006, had a major role in negotiating with
labor and analyzing the revenue and costs benefits expected from
the merger.  Ms. Goulet, Reuters added, citing the same memo, was
named American chief restructuring officer in December 2011 and
has served as vice president for corporate development at the
carrier since 2002.  She had a prime role in negotiating the
equity splits of 28% for US Airways and 72% for American
stakeholders in the merger.

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

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


AMERICAN REALTY TRUST: Bankruptcy Case Transferred to Dallas
------------------------------------------------------------
The bankruptcy case of American Realty Trust, Inc., has been
transferred from Atlanta to Dallas (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
13-30891) effective Feb. 22, 2013.

Lenders Atlantic XIII, L.L.C., Atlantic Midwest, L.L.C., David M.
Clapper, Atlantic Limited Partnership XII, and Regional Properties
Limited Partnership sought the transfer of the case because a
lawsuit with the Debtor was pending in Dallas.

The lender group said American Realty Trust's case was filed as a
litigation tactic in a long-running dispute with the Debtor's many
equity holders and subsidiaries pending in the federal courts for
the Northern District of Texas, which has been ongoing for more
than 14 years.  The lawsuits involve numerous bankruptcies and
collateral lawsuits between the parties.

The lender group tried -- but failed -- to dismiss the case on
grounds that the Debtor has no assets and no business that
requires bankruptcy protection, therefore, there is no prospect
for reorganization.

                    About American Realty Trust

Dallas, Texas-based American Realty Trust, Inc., is a subsidiary
of the real estate giant American Realty Investors Inc.  Coping
with a $73 million legal judgment from an apartment purchase that
collapsed more than a decade ago, American Realty Trust, Inc.,
filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 12-10883)
in Las Vegas on Jan. 26, 2012.  The case was later dismissed on
Aug. 1 by Judge Mike K. Nakagawa.  Creditors David M. Clapper,
Atlantic XIII, LLC, and Atlantic Midwest, LLC, sought the
dismissal, citing, among other things, the Debtor has been
stripped of assets prepetition and its ownership structure changed
10 days before the bankruptcy filing in an admitted effort to
avoid disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

American Realty Trust then filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr.
N.D. Ga. Case No. 12-71453) on Aug. 29, 2012.  Bankruptcy Judge
Barbara Ellis-Monro presides over the case.  Bryan E. Bates, Esq.,
and Gary W. Marsh, Esq. at McKenna Long & Aldridge, LLP represent
the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  The petition was signed
by Steven A. Shelley, vice president.

The Debtor has scheduled assets totaling $79,954,551, comprised
of: (i) real property valued at $87,884; (ii) equity interests in
affiliated entities of an unknown value; and (iii) litigation
claims valued at $79,866,667.  The Debtor has scheduled
liabilities totaling $85,347,587.95, comprised of: (i) $10,437.73
in unsecured priority tax claims; and (ii) unsecured non-priority
claims of $85,336,886.61 (of which at least $77,164,701.14 are
contested litigation claims against the Debtor).


AMF BOWLING: Employs Hilco to Assist in Lease Negotiations
----------------------------------------------------------
AMF Bowling Worldwide, Inc., et al., seek authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond
Division, to employ Hilco Real Estate, LLC, effective as of
January 29, 2013.

negotiations of their leases, and the restructuring, assignment,
sale or termination of those leases in connection with their sale
efforts.

For its services, Hilco will be paid:

   (a) For each restructured lease, Hilco will earn a fee equal to
       an amount equal to the sum of (i) $2,000 and (ii) aggregate
       restructured lease savings multiplied by 4%. In addition,

       economic modification to the restructured lease.

   (b) For each closing of a transaction in which any lease is
       sold, assumed and assigned, or terminated by the Company,
       Hilco will earn a fee in an amount equal to 4% of gross
       lease proceeds.

   (c) For any lease sold, assumed and assigned, or terminated by
       the Company, if the "cure amount" required to be paid to
       the landlord to cure defaults existing at the time of the
       sale, assumption and assignment, or termination is reduced
       or waived below the "cure amount" that the Company
       reasonably believes is required to cure defaults, Hilco
       will also earn a fee for the waiver or reduction of the
       "cure amount" in an amount equal to 4% of the total amount
       so reduced or waived.

   (d) For any lease sold, assumed and assigned, or terminated,
       Hilco will also earn a fee in an amount equal to 4% of the
       difference between (a) the amount of any claim asserted by
       the landlord for each such lease under Sections 365 or 503
       of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) the amount of any claim as
       paid, reduced, or waived.

   (e) For any lease sold, assumed and assigned, or terminated by
       the Company or any lease rejected by the Company, Hilco
       will earn a fee in an amount equal to 4% of the Value of
       the Total Claim Reduction for each lease.

   (f) Hilco will be paid a fee equal to $400 per hour, plus
       Expenses, for each appearance in the Court and for all
       litigation and litigation preparation.

   (g) Hilco Real Estate will also be entitled to reimbursement of
       reasonable expenses.

Ian S. Fredericks, vice president and assistant general counsel of
Hilco Trading, LLC, the majority owner and managing member of
Hilco Real Estate, LLC, assures the Court that his firm is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any interest adverse
to the Debtors or their estates.

A lawsuit commenced by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and two other
plaintiffs against Stonewall Insurance Company and a group of
companies referred to as the London Market Insurers, will proceed
in district court after the insurers won a District Court order
withdrawing bankruptcy court reference of the case.

On Nov. 13, 2012, the Archdiocese, along with additional
plaintiffs Donald Marshall and Dean Weissmuller, filed the
complaint against Stonewall and the London Market Insurers seeking
declarations that the insurance policies at issue provide coverage
for the fraud claims against the Archdiocese.  Stonewall and LMI
move to withdraw the reference of the lawsuit from the bankruptcy
court, asserting their right to a jury trial before an Article III
judge.  The plaintiffs concede that the case should not be
withdrawn until it is "trial-ready," allowing Bankruptcy Judge
Susan V. Kelley to handle proceedings up until that point.

The case is, ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE, Plaintiff, and DONALD
MARSHALL, DEAN WEISSMULLER, Additional Plaintiffs, v. STONEWALL
INSURANCE COMPANY, CERTAIN UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S, LONDON, et
al., Defendants and Counterclaimants, Adv. Proc. No. 12-02835-SVK
(Bankr. E.D. Wis.); and Case No. 13-C-58., 13-C-60 (E.D. Wis.).

                  About Archdiocese of Milwaukee

The Diocese of Milwaukee was established on Nov. 28, 1843, and
was elevated to an Archdiocese on Feb. 12, 1875, by Pope Pius
IX.  The region served by the Archdiocese consists of 4,758 square
miles in southeast Wisconsin which includes counties Dodge, Fond
du Lac, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth,
Washington and Waukesha.  There are 657,519 registered Catholics
in the Region.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. E.D. Wis. Case No.
11-20059) on Jan. 4, 2011, to address claims over sexual abuse
by priests on minors.

The Archdiocese became at least the eighth Roman Catholic diocese
in the U.S. to file for bankruptcy to settle claims from current
and former parishioners who say they were sexually molested by
priests.

Daryl L. Diesing, Esq., at Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S.C., in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serves as the Archdiocese's counsel.  The
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the bankruptcy case
has retained Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as its counsel, and
Howard, Solochek & Weber, S.C., as its local counsel.

The Archdiocese estimated assets and debts of $10 million to
$50 million in its Chapter 11 petition.

AVIS BUDGET: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating to EUR250MM Notes Due 2021
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has assigned its
'B' rating to Avis Budget Finance plc's EUR250 million notes due
2021.  The issuer is an indirect subsidiary of Parsippany, N.J.-
based car and truck renter Avis Budget Group Inc., which
guarantees the notes.  The recovery rating is '5', indicating
S&P's expectation that lenders would receive modest (10%-30%)
recovery in a payment default scenario.  The company will use
proceeds to partially fund the acquisition of car sharer Zipcar
Inc., which Avis Budget announced that it would acquire on
Jan. 2, 2013.

"Our ratings on Avis Budget (parent of the Avis and Budget car
rental brands and the Budget consumer truck rental brand) reflect
the company's "aggressive" financial profile, the price
competitive and cyclical nature of on-airport car rentals, and a
significant amount of secured assets.  The ratings also
incorporate the company's position as one of the largest global
car rental companies, the relatively stable cash flow the business
generates, and Standard & Poor's expectation that Avis Budget's
operating performance will continue to improve.  The Zipcar
acquisition, for approximately $500 million, will be financed
primarily with debt.  Based on the incremental debt and synergies,
we expect the company's credit metrics to weaken only modestly,"
S&P said.

"The outlook is stable.  We expect Avis Budget's credit metrics to
improve from 2012 levels.  Over the next year, we expect EBITDA
interest coverage to increase to the low-4x area from 3.7x for the
12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012; funds from operations to debt to
be about 20% from 19%; and debt to EBITDA to decline to the mid-4x
area from 5.1x due to stronger revenues and cash flow offsetting
the incremental debt.  We could raise the ratings if benefits from
the integration of Avis Europe exceed our expectations and
continue into 2013, or operating performance in Europe is stronger
than expected, resulting in the adjusted EBIT margin improving to
greater than 15% over a sustained period.  We also believe a
downgrade is unlikely, but we could take such an action if
industry conditions weaken and integration benefits are not
realized, or economic conditions in Europe are weaker than
expected, causing the adjusted EBIT margin to decline to below 10%
and funds from operations to debt to fall below the mid-teens
percent area on a sustained basis," S&P added.

AVON PRODUCTS: Fitch Lowers Issuer Default Rating to 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded Avon Products, Inc.'s and its
subsidiary's rating as follows:

Avon Products, Inc:
-- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
-- Short-term IDR to 'B' from 'F3';
-- Commercial Paper program to 'B' from F3';
-- Bank credit facility to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
-- Bank Term Loan to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'.

Avon Capital Corporation:
-- Short-term IDR to 'B' from 'F3';
-- Commercial Paper program to 'B' from 'F3'

The Rating Outlook for Avon and Avon Capital Corporation has been
revised to Stable from Negative.

KEY RATING DRIVERS:

The downgrade of Avon's ratings is due to a confluence of factors
which are not representative of an investment-grade profile. These
factors include the combination of a continued decline in U.S.
revenues, lack of sustainable operating income growth in key
international markets, and weakened credit protection measures.
The likely need to use a substantial portion of offshore cash
balances to repurchase debt and substantial levels of
restructuring which could continue in the near term also triggered
the downgrade.

Fitch recognizes that while there were some early signs of
stabilization in Avon's Latin American and European segments which
generate almost 90% of operating earnings before corporate
overhead, it is too early to ascertain its sustainability. The
emerging markets have proven to be a strong base of operations for
the direct-selling distribution model; however, the level of
competition has increased with marketers such as L'Oreal
accelerating their investments in the region. Both Natura
Cosmeticos S.A. and Avon have commented about the high level of
competition in Brazil in the past several years. Given the
increased presence of large multinational beauty care companies
and further maturation of the emerging markets, Fitch believes
that Avon is likely to find it more difficult to return to
sustainable growth and that longer-term operating margin expansion
may be limited.

Additional factors such as lost market share and the need for
additional investments to improve Avon's operations are also part
of the consideration in the downgrade. Avon has lost market share
in growth markets such as Brazil and China. Further, the U.S., a
major market representing 18% of 2012's revenues, is continuing to
decline at a rapid pace in both representative count and volume.
Avon may need to keep representative incentives high in the U.S.
and Brazil and spend additional capital to stabilize the U.S and
Asia Pacific segments. The performance of these segments has been
a drag on the company's performance for a number of years. Fitch
does not see a meaningful turnaround in the near term.

The Stable Outlook is due to Avon's adequate liquidity and its
plan to address its capital structure, which should allow
management more time to execute its strategic goals. Fitch is
encouraged by a number of the company's recent announcements or
results. First, Avon cut its dividend by almost 75%, a deeper
level than Fitch expected. While 2012's free cash flow (FCF)
remained negative at $2 million, reducing the dividend outlay by
$300 million should result in positive FCF in 2013 even if the
company's financial performance were to remain flat. Nonetheless,
FCF is benefitting from the dividend cut and working capital
improvements, while cash flow from operations continued a four-
year decline from $782 million to $556 million at the end of 2012.
Second, the company was able to reduce debt by more than $110
million year over year given $337 million of FCF in the fourth
quarter.

Financial Performance:
Consolidated revenues were essentially flat at $10.7 billion
excluding a 5% drag from negative foreign exchange. Sales in Latin
America increased 5% on a constant currency basis while sales in
North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and
Africa) declined 8%, 5%, and 1%, respectively. Consolidated
adjusted EBIT margins (excluding impairments and restructuring
charges) increased almost sequentially during the year from 3.8%
to 9.2%. After years of leverage creep to a peak of approximately
3.5x in mid-2012, Avon's leverage tracked down modestly to 3.2x.

Liquidity and Financial Flexibility:
Avon announced that it has notified the holders of its $535
million privately placed notes that it will redeem those notes and
make a required make-whole premium of approximately $65 million by
the end of March 2013. The company cited that it is able to fund
the redemption from cash on hand overseas. The company is also
renegotiating its $1 billion revolving credit which is scheduled
to mature in November 2013. Fitch expects that the company will be
able to secure a new credit agreement. The public debt markets are
also quite liquid and Avon should be able to refinance its near-
term debt maturities. The company has $250 million 4.8% notes due
March 1, 2013, $125 million 4.625% notes due May 13, 2013 and a
5.75%, $500 million notes due March 1, 2014. There is also a $137
million amortization on the term loan due this year.

RATINGS SENSITIVITIES:

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

Although a positive rating action is not likely in the next 18
months, leverage in the low- to mid-2x range due to a restoration
of consistent growth in Avon's major markets, a meaningful
increase in operating earnings and cash flow, or greater than
expected debt reduction, could lead to consideration of an
upgrade. Generating FCF in excess of $200 million annually would
also be viewed positively.

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

Leverage maintained over 3x and diminishing FCF due to further
deterioration of its base business, indicated by declining sales
and margins in key geographical segments, or increased debt levels
could result in a downgrade. Declining volumes and sales
representative count in the key market of Latin America and Europe
would also be viewed negatively.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Merkin to Receive Part of $410MM Settlement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that J. Ezra Merkin, an associate of Bernard Madoff, will
receive part of a $410 million settlement under an agreement that
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Irving Picard, the
trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, are
keeping secret.  The money earmarked for Merkin won't be going to
customers whose money was stolen in the largest U.S. Ponzi scheme.

The report notes Mr. Merkin's portion is secret because U.S.
District Judge Jed Rakoff in New York directed that the settlement
agreement be held under seal.

"Some of the money will be utilized to defend against or settle
claims by the trustee against the funds and Merkin,"
Mr. Schneiderman disclosed in a filing with Judge Rakoff, without
giving details or amounts.  The payment is part of a settlement
Mr. Schneiderman negotiated in June with Mr. Merkin, who ran
feeder funds that funneled billions into Madoff's Ponzi scheme.

According to the report, Mr. Picard, who opposes the settlement,
wrote in a Feb. 21 court filing that "The fact that Madoff could
be a fraud, and specifically a Ponzi scheme, was clear to Merkin."
When first announcing the settlement in June, Mr. Schneiderman
said Mr. Merkin received "hundreds of millions dollars in
management fees" in return for feeding Madoff new investors.

When the settlement was first announced, Mr. Schneiderman said he
"recovered over $400 million for the investors." In papers filed
with Judge Rakoff on Jan. 25, the Attorney General said "most" of
the $410 million will go to investors in Mr. Merkin's feeder
funds.  Mr. Schneiderman made his statement after giving the
trustee a redacted copy of the settlement agreement, according to
a court filing.  In a later court filing, Mr. Picard referred to
the money as a "Merkin defense war chest."

The report relates that the settlement negotiated by
Mr. Schneiderman will allow Mr. Merkin to use money stolen from
customers in fending off suits where Mr. Picard is trying to
recover $500 million from Mr. Merkin, the trustee said in a
Feb. 21 filing in Judge Rakoff's court.  Mr. Picard is precluded
by a confidentiality agreement from disclosing the amount of the
war chest, Mr. Picard's spokeswoman Amanda Remus said in an
e-mailed statement to Bloomberg.

Judge Rakoff's Feb. 25 sealing order allows the disputes in his
court to go forward without publicly disclosing the terms of
settlement or even saying how much goes to Mr. Merkin's war chest.

Mr. Picard and the Securities Investor Protection Corp. said in
e-mailed statements they both believe the settlement agreement
should be made public.  SIPC "supports public airing of settlement
agreements," General Counsel Josephine Wang said in an e-mailed
statement.  When asked why the trustee agreed to the sealing of
the agreement while saying he is opposed to secrecy, Remus,
Picard's spokeswoman, said "it was the only way we could submit
the agreement to the court without incurring significant delay."

Before a document like a $410 million settlement is sealed, there
should be an explanation "on the public record that there is a
compelling interest," Gregg Leslie from the Reporters' Committee
for Freedom of the Press said in an interview.

The dispute ended up in Judge Rakoff's court after Mr. Picard
filed suit last year in bankruptcy court following
Mr. Schneiderman's announcement of the settlement.  Mr. Picard
contends he's entitled to first recoveries from Merkin and his
funds because the money to be paid in the settlement was all
stolen from Madoff customers.  Mr. Picard says his recoveries will
go to all Madoff victims, not just those injured by Mr. Merkin.

Judge Rakoff took the suit out of bankruptcy court, saying the
judge in the lower court doesn't have legal competence to decide
threshold issues.  There will be a hearing in Judge Rakoff's court
on March 12 to decide if Mr. Picard can stop the settlement from
going through in state court.

The dispute with Schneiderman in district Court is Picard
v. Schneiderman, 12-cv-06733, U.S. District Court, Southern
District of New York (Manhattan). The lawsuit with Schneiderman
in bankruptcy court is Picard v. Schneiderman, 12-01778, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

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

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

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

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

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Our operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to
service our debt.  If we were to fail to make any required payment
under the notes and agreements governing our indebtedness or fail
to comply with the covenants contained in the notes and
agreements, we would be in default.  Our debt holders would have
the ability to require that we immediately pay all outstanding
indebtedness.  If the debt holders were to require immediate
payment, we might not have sufficient assets to satisfy our
obligations under the notes or our other indebtedness.  In such
event, we could be forced to seek protection under bankruptcy
laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our existing
contracts and our ability to procure new contracts as well as our
ability to recruit and/or retain employees.  Accordingly, a
default could have a significant adverse effect on the market
value and marketability of our common stock," the Company said in
its annual report for the year ended Sept. 30, 2012.


BRENT MIDDLETON: Must File Plan by April 8 or Face Dismissal
------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Judge William T. Thurman directed Brent James Middleton to:

     1) file a Disclosure Statement and Plan by April 8, 2013;

     2) obtain confirmation of a Plan by July 8, 2013;

     3) bring the payment of quarterly fees owing to the U.S.
        Trustee current by March 15, 2013 and not be more than
        10 days delinquent in the future; and

     4) bring the filing of monthly operating reports current by
        March 15, 2013, and not be more than 10 days delinquent in
        the future.

If the Debtor fails to fully comply with any of the deadlines, the
case will be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code or dismissed based upon a declaration of the United States
Trustee, and without further notice or hearing.

BRICKMAN GROUP: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR & Revises Outlook to Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Maryland-based Brickman Group Holdings Inc. and
revised the outlook to stable from negative.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B+' issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured debt facilities, and S&P's 'CCC+' rating
on the company's senior unsecured notes.  The recovery ratings
remain '2' and '6', respectively, indicating S&P's expectation for
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery for senior secured lenders and
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a
payment default.

"The company should be able to modestly increase profitability and
improve credit measures, including leverage in the 6x area over
the next year," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Linda
Phelps. "In particular, we believe more normalized weather
patterns and modest growth of the landscape maintenance segment
will lead to improved profitability in 2013."

Standard & Poor's ratings on Brickman reflect S&P's view that the
landscape maintenance company's financial risk profile continues
to be "highly leveraged;" specifically, S&P's view that the
company will continue to have a very aggressive financial policy
and weak credit metrics.  In addition, S&P continues to
characterize the company's business risk profile as "weak,"
incorporating its assessment that the company's business focus
will remain narrow, it will continue to be vulnerable to changes
in weather and the economy, and S&P's opinion that the landscaping
sector's barriers to entry will remain low, especially at the
local level.  S&P's business risk assessment also incorporates the
company's good market position within the highly fragmented
commercial landscape maintenance service market.  (Note: Brickman
Group Holdings Inc. is a private company, and does not publicly
disclose financial data.)

LLP, in Encino, California, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred significant operating
losses and negative cash flows from operations during the year
ended Dec. 31, 2011.

The Company reported a net loss of $8.12 million in 2011, compared
with a net loss of $19.99 million in 2010.

unforeseen expenditures, could impact this estimate.  The Company
will need to immediately obtain additional capital and there is no
assurance that additional capital can be raised in an amount which
is sufficient for the Company or on terms favorable to its
stockholders, if at all.

"If we do not immediately obtain additional capital, there is a
significant doubt as to whether we can continue to operate as a
going concern and we will need to curtail or cease operations or
seek bankruptcy relief.  If we discontinue operations, we may not
have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to stockholders."


COFFEE REGIONAL: S&P Lowers Rating on $35.6-Mil. Bonds to 'BB-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Service said that it lowered its long-
term rating to 'BB-' from 'BBB-' on Coffee County Hospital
Authority, Ga.'s $35.6 million series 2004 hospital revenue
refunding bonds, issued for Coffee Regional Medical Center Inc.
The outlook is stable.

"The downgrade reflects our view of the medical center's
significantly wider operating loss in fiscal 2012, diminished
unrestricted reserves, and lack of a clearly articulated recovery
plan," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Liz Sweeney.  The
weak operations primarily reflect losses at its physician
practices and high bad debt expenses that stem from a challenging
local economy.

The 'BB-' rating reflects S&P's assessment of the medical
center's:

   -- Negative operating history, with fiscal years 2012
      (unaudited) and 2011 (audited) ending with operating margins
      of negative 7.8% and negative1.9%, respectively

   -- Very low maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage at
      0.03x for fiscal 2012, as calculated by Standard & Poor's;

   -- Declining unrestricted reserves, which fell by 23% in fiscal
      2012, ending the year at 72 days' cash and 61% of long-term
      debt as of Dec. 31, 2012;

   -- High reliance on key admitting physicians, with the top 10
      admitting physicians bringing in about 65% of the inpatient
      volumes; and

   -- Inherent risks associated with operating a small, rural
      facility, with below-average demographic characteristics and
      larger competitors in the broader region.

Partially offsetting the above credit factors are Coffee
Regional's solid business position in its primary service area as
the only acute-care provider in Coffee County, conservative debt
profile with all fixed-rate bonds, lack of a defined-benefit
pension plan, and adequate unrestricted reserves for the new
rating level.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that unrestricted
reserves will be sufficient to support operating losses at the
budgeted amount for 2013 and provide a modest cushion as it works
through operational challenges in 2014," added Ms. Sweeney.


COMSTOCK MINING: Posts Full NI 43-101 Technical Report
------------------------------------------------------
Comstock Mining Inc. made available the full text of its fourth
National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) technical report authored
by Behre Dolbear & Company (USA), Inc., of Denver Colorado.  The
full Report has been posted to the Company's Web site:
http://www.comstockmining.com/properties/technical-reports. In
addition, the executive summary has been furnished on Form 8-K to
the SEC, a copy of which is available at http://is.gd/mcfaGG

The Report declared a mineral resource estimate of Measured and
Indicated Resources containing 1,824,000 ounces of gold and
17,100,000 ounces of silver, for a total of 2,150,000 gold
equivalent ounces, and an estimate of an Inferred Resource
containing an additional 870,000 gold equivalent ounces.  These
estimates include the Chute Zone, recently identified in late
2012.  The Report also includes an additional 200,000 gold
equivalent ounces outside the modeled area, in the Historical
Resource Category.

The technical advancements of this project, as detailed in this
Report, are remarkable from both a quantitative and qualitative
perspective, including exploration discoveries, positive
metallurgical characteristics, refined geological interpretations,
overall geologic model enhancements and significant progress on
mining and processing.  The following excerpts authored by Behre
Dolbear highlight some of the more pertinent:

"The author believes the Comstock Mine Project represents a well-
explored, epithermal, precious metal deposit within a world-class
mining district... The geology of the project area is well
described and understood through vigorous surface mapping and
drill hole logging.  The density of geologic data is high, and the
reliability is excellent, particularly in the various Lucerne Mine
areas."

"Due to its bonanza grades and major production of gold and silver
ores,...the world-class Comstock District is well represented in
the geologic literature... Nonetheless, as CMI continues its
detailed exploration mapping, close-spaced drilling, and initial
mine production, new details have emerged that have significantly
influenced the understanding of the local and regional geology."

"Where the northeast striking faults intersect the Silver City
fault zone, mineralization thickens and grade increases."

"A significant discovery of higher-grade mineralization, termed by
CMI geologists as the Chute zone, was discovered through the East
Side drilling in 2012... This intersection zone hosts elevated
grades of gold and silver that consistently average 0.095 ounces
of gold per ton (3 g/t) over drill intercepts of 50 to 270 feet
and has mapped dimensions of 100 to 150 feet by 100 feet by 450
feet."

"Based upon the structural controls of the newly discovered
higher-grade Chute zone, CMI has recognized structural
similarities in higher-grade zones at Dayton and other mineralized
areas within the CMI property position.  Expectations are high
that further drilling at the appropriate azimuth will allow for
important extensions to these higher-grade zones."

"Substantial resources have been identified to the south at the
Dayton property and encouraging exploration results have been
received at Spring Valley..."

"The current calculated metallurgical recoveries are approaching
the predicted gold recovery and have exceeded the predicted silver
recovery.  The portion of the heap under leach for the longest, 80
days, has the recovery of gold estimated at 67% and the recovery
of silver is estimated at 51%.  Preliminary laboratory
metallurgical test results provide CMI confidence that ultimate
heap leach recoveries will meet or exceed the predicted 70% for
gold and 45% for silver."

"The author further verified that the average gold and silver
grades summarized for the Lucerne resource table (0.030 ounce per
ton and 0.286 ounce per ton, respectively) and CMI's forecasts of
future operating costs should result in a strong profit margin for
the Lucerne Mine operations at current metal prices."

"Forecast operating costs were also compared with the very
preliminary results from the first three months of actual
operations, and are considered by the author to be in reasonable
agreement."

Although the primary goal of the 2012 drill program was definition
drilling for the mine plan, discovery of the East-side Chute Zone
and the 25% increase of Measured and Indicated Resource in Lucerne
from the Company's previous NI 43-101 dated September 2011 (at a
discovery cost of $13.15 per ounce) highlight the additional
results.

"This Report lifts our project into another category of
achievement," stated Comstock's President and CEO Corrado De
Gasperis.  "When ranked against all the 1 million-plus gold
deposits in the world, only 189 such deposits are identified and
producing in the world, putting us in an outstanding peer
grouping."

the CEO Blog: http://www.comstockmining.com/corporate/ceo-blog

DETROIT, MI: Better Off With Manager Than Ch. 9, Says Treasurer
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Chappatta, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that
Detroit, hometown of General Motors Co. (GM), would gain more by
having a state-appointed financial manager than by entering
bankruptcy, Michigan Treasurer Andy Dillon said.

Republican Governor Rick Snyder, who appointed Dillon, will decide
within two weeks on naming an emergency manager for Detroit, the
state's most populous city, Bloomberg related. It would join
municipalities including Flint, Pontiac and Allen Park that have
surrendered control to appointed officials. No Michigan localities
have sought protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S. bankruptcy
code.

"What can be done in a Chapter 9 can be done outside of a Chapter
9, so why would you go there if you didn't have to?" Mr. Dillon
said in an interview before speaking at a conference in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, sponsored by the Bond Buyer newspaper,
according to Bloomberg.  "There's not a clear path of
predictability."

According to Bloomberg, the interest rate on some city debt fell
after Dillon's comments.

An emergency manager would probably need to oversee Detroit for
less than two years, Mr. Dillon said during a presentation,
Bloomberg related.  A state appointee would be met "without a lot
of consternation" from the city, he said.


DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Plan of Liquidation Approved
---------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn at Wednesday's hearing approved the
liquidation plan for Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, according to reporting
by Jennifer Smith, writing for The Wall Street Journal.

WSJ notes the unwinding of the defunct New York law firm has
proceeded at a swift clip compared with previous law-firm
bankruptcies, which typically drag on for years.  In the ensuing
nine months since the bankruptcy filing, Dewey's bankruptcy
advisers pressed clients to pay outstanding legal bills, sold off
assets and art, and brokered a $71.5 million settlement with
former partners to help pay off its lenders, landlords and trade
creditors, who have filed more than $550 million in claims, not
all of which will likely be recovered.

"We gained the critical mass, and then we gained momentum, and
then we blew right past the tipping point," said Albert Togut,
Dewey's lead bankruptcy lawyer, according to WSJ.  He said the
partner settlement should stand as a model for future law-firm
bankruptcies, but he added negotiating the deal with Dewey's
fractured and unhappy partnership was like "doing 600 divorces."

According to WSJ, the liquidation plan had the backing of Dewey's
creditors, including lenders who hold liens on some $250 million
in bank and bond debt and who have funded the bankruptcy
proceedings thus far using their cash collateral.

"We believe the results today are far better than what would have
resulted from a Chapter 7 liquidation, which is what happened in
virtually all the other law-firm bankruptcies," said Kenneth
Eckstein, a partner at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, which
represents secured lender J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., according to
the WSJ report.

A former Dewey & LeBoeuf partner on Monday took a shot at
opponents of the bankrupt firm's liquidation plan, saying they
have no proof to support their claims that the settlement with
former partners is fraudulent, according to a report by Maria
Chutchian of BankruptcyLaw360.

The Law360 report related that Peter A. Ivanick, who was a
bankruptcy partner with the firm before its fall last May, stood
up for former partner Martin Bienenstock, who helped draft the
partner contribution plan.  The report added that Mr. Bienenstock
and others were accused by two other former partners of deferring
contractual payments to partners.

WSJ said Dewey's advisers were able to resolve Plan objections by
Wednesday.  The report also relates Judge Glenn approved a nearly
$500,000 settlement with a group of retired partners and another
$650,000 agreement with U.K. partners.  Judge Glenn also approved
a settlement with federal pension regulators, ruling that $120
million in claims relating to three Dewey pension plans taken over
by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation will be treated as
nonpriority general unsecured claims.  That means the PBGC claims
will be addressed alongside those filed by staffing agencies, car
services and other unsecured creditors.

                       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

DEX ONE: To Appeal Delisting Notice From NYSE
---------------------------------------------
Dex One Corporation received notice from the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) that it was not in compliance with the NYSE
listing standard in Section 802.01B of the Listed Company Manual
which requires the company to maintain an average global market
capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of not
less than $100 million.

The company notified the Exchange it will appeal the decision and
file a formal request shortly.  During the appeal process, the
company anticipates DEXO shares will continue to trade on the
NYSE.

Until a determination is made the company's trading symbol will
bear the "BC" indicator until it is either delisted or is
compliant with the NYSE's listing standards.

Dex One said it respects the Exchange's rules and processes, but
believes several factors related to its proposed merger with
SuperMedia Inc. warrant special consideration:

-- The combined company pro forma market capitalization will be in
   excess of $150 million, based on current trading levels of Dex
   One and SuperMedia shares;

-- The transaction has been structured as a stock-for-stock merger
   and will include a 1-for-5 reverse split at merger close to
   alleviate any future non-compliance; listing issues

-- More than 70 percent in number and 80 percent in value of Dex
   One secured lenders support the merger;

-- The combination will create one of the largest marketing
   services companies in the United States with a stronger
   financial position than either of its predecessors; and

-- The merger is on track to close in the first half of 2013.

There is no assurance Dex One's request for continued listing will
be granted.

                           About Dex One

Dex One, headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, is a local
business marketing services company that includes print
directories and online voice and mobile search.  Revenue was
approximately $1.1 billion for the LTM period ended Sept. 30,
2010.

R.H. Donnelley Corp. and 19 of its affiliates, including Dex
Media East LLC, Dex Media West LLC and Dex Media Inc., filed for
Chapter 11 protection on May 28, 2009 (Bank. D. Del. Case No. 09-
11833 through 09-11852).  They emerged from bankruptcy on Jan. 29,
2010.  On the Effective Date and in connection with its emergence
from Chapter 11, RHD was renamed Dex One Corporation.

Dex One reported a net loss of $518.96 million in 2011 compared
with a net loss of $923.59 million for the eleven months ended
Dec. 31, 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$2.86 billion in total assets, $2.77 billion in total liabilities,
and $92.03 million in total shareholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 31, 2013,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its 'CCC' rating
outlook on Dex One Corp. to negative from developing.  Existing
ratings on the company, including the 'CCC' corporate rating, were
affirmed.

"The outlook revision to negative reflects our view that the
company has sufficient lender support to effectively pursue a
prepackaged reorganization," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Chris Valentine.

"It also reflects our expectation, given the large lender group
and the diversity of lender interests, that the company may not
get support from all of its lenders to amend its credit agreement
out-of-court.  If Dex One files for bankruptcy, we would lower our
corporate credit rating to 'D' and reassess the corporate credit
rating, business risk, and financial risk of the combined company
after emergence," S&P added.

"Our 'CCC' corporate credit rating reflects Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services' view of the company's strong motivation to use
the bankruptcy court to complete its proposed merger with
SuperMedia, and our assessment of its business risk profile as
"vulnerable" and financial risk profile as "highly leveraged."
Furthermore, the rating reflects continued structural and cyclical
decline in the print directory sector, increased competition from
online and other distribution channels as small business
advertising expands across a greater number of marketing channels,
and the potential for additional subpar debt repurchases.  Our
management and governance assessment is fair," S&P noted.

The negative rating outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Dex
One may pursue a voluntary prepackaged bankruptcy reorganization
plan to consummate the merger agreement with SuperMedia.  S&P
could also lower its rating if declining business fundamentals
hinder 2014 debt refinancing or if S&P becomes convinced the
company could violate financial covenants as a result of a faster-
than-expected decline in EBITDA.


DIGITAL GENERATION: S&P Affirms 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on Digital Generation Inc. and removed all ratings
from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative
implications on July 18, 2012, as a result of Digital Generation's
announcement that it was exploring strategic alternatives.  The
rating outlook is negative.

"Digital Generation has underperformed relative to our
expectations for the past several quarters due to integration
missteps with its MediaMind acquisition and weak sales of its
content delivery segment," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Andy Liu.

With the MediaMind integration and platform consolidation mostly
done, it is likely that the company's online segment revenues will
grow in 2013.  However, it's possible that online segment growth
will not fully offset an expected decline in TV segment revenues
stemming from continued pricing pressure and the absence of
political advertising.  EBITDA declines in 2012 reduced the
company's financial covenant headroom, which it is working to
alleviate with a covenant amendment.  The rating is predicated on
obtaining an amendment that ensures ongoing sufficient headroom
and borrowing availability.

The 'B+' corporate credit rating on Digital Generation Inc.
incorporates S&P's assumption of minimal revenue growth in 2013
and possibly in 2014.  Integration missteps at the company's
online segment caused customer attrition and revenue declines.
Operating results at its TV segment were weak as well.  S&P views
Digital Generation's business profile as weak, given the
significant competition in online advertising from powerful
incumbents and the technology risks associated with cloud-based
distribution or other new channels.  The company competes with
Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. as a provider of campaign
management services.  S&P views the company's financial risk as
significant based on its 4.1x debt leverage and our expectation of
minimal EBITDA growth over the intermediate term.  This is only
partially offset by S&P's expectation of moderate discretionary
cash flow.  S&P assesses the management and governance as fair.

Digital Generation is a provider of video content distribution,
media production and duplication, online creative research, and
other services.  Video content distribution is the largest revenue
and profit contributor.  The company's competitive position is
especially strong in short-form advertising delivery.  Digital
Generation operates the largest U.S. advertising delivery network,
with significant market penetration among TV stations, TV and
cable networks, and cable systems.  Over the medium term, most of
Digital Generation's revenue growth opportunities are likely to
come from online advertising.

"For 2013, our base case assumes flat revenue and EBITDA as growth
in online revenues offset the decline in TV revenues.  We expect
that Digital Generation's revenues from electronic delivery of
content will decrease at a mid-single-digit percent rate over the
medium term as price deterioration of high definition (HD)
delivery combined with volume decreases at standard definition
(SD) more than offset volume increases of HD delivery.  We expect
overall online advertising to grow steadily over the medium term
as advertisers allocate a greater portion of their marketing
budgets to online media.  With the difficult integration of
MediaMind largely complete, Digital Generation should be in a
better position to benefit from this favorable secular trend.  We
are expecting high-single-digit percentage growth in online
segment revenues in 2013 before reaching double-digit percentage
growth in 2014," S&P said.

The negative rating outlook assumes that Digital Generation is
able to amend its financial covenant.  S&P could lower the rating
to 'B' if Digital Generation is unable to demonstrate healthy
growth in its online segment after completing most of the
MediaMind-related integration and manage the expected revenue
weakness at its TV segment.  More specifically, if S&P concludes
that Digital Generation won't be able to maintain flat revenues in
2013, S&P could lower the rating.  On the other hand, if S&P
become convinced that Digital Generation will be able to grow
revenues in 2013 and establish a healthy margin of covenant
compliance, S&P could revise the outlook to stable.

If it becomes apparent that Digital Generation won't be able to
amend its credit agreement, including the debt leverage covenant,
S&P could lower the rating by one notch or more to 'B-' or lower.


DUFF & PHELPS: Moody's Rates $349MM Term Loan & $75MM Revolver B1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B1 ratings to a $349 million
senior secured term loan and $75 million revolving credit facility
for Duff & Phelps Corporation. The term loan will finance the
acquisition of Duff & Phelps by a consortium of private equity
firms and the revolver will be available for acquisitions and
working capital purposes. The rating agency has also assigned a B1
corporate family rating to Duff & Phelps. The outlook on the
ratings is stable.

Ratings Rationale:

The B1 ratings reflect Duff & Phelps' franchise as a well-
established provider of a broad range of financial advisory
services to a well-diversified client base. Increased regulatory
oversight, new accounting standards, and increased financial
disclosure are new challenges facing Duff & Phelps' clients and
are macro trends that favor firms such as Duff & Phelps that offer
valuation and advisory services. The diversity of the company's
financial advisory business segments, which include businesses
that are cyclical, non-cyclical, and counter-cycle in nature, has
allowed Duff & Phelps to produce consistent growth in revenue and
operating profitability. Moody's also noted that the company
benefits from a high level of repeat business with its customers
and has a highly variable cost structure that has resulted in
stable operating margins throughout the cycle.

The ratings also incorporate Duff & Phelps' high estimated pro
forma Debt/EBITDA and modest interest coverage of 5.4x and 3.7x,
respectively and the company's smaller scale compared to some of
its competitors. These competitors include the "Big Four"
accounting firms that have substantially more resources than Duff
& Phelps. In the past, Duff & Phelps' revenue and operating profit
growth has been fueled by selective tuck-in acquisitions that have
been financed through stock, cash and cash earn-outs. This has
recently included an expansion of the company's investment banking
business, which Moody's believes could pose additional risks for
bondholders if it were to become balance sheet intensive. Moody's
expects that growth through acquisitions will continue to be a
strategic focus for Duff & Phelps and any debt financing of these
acquisitions may lead to periodic spikes in cash flow leverage.
Retention of the firms' key producers, the ability of the company
to grow earnings without balance sheet usage, and success in cash
flow deleveraging over-time will be key rating drivers going
forward.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Securities Industry Methodology published in December 2006.


DUKE REALTY: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Preferred Stock Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the credit ratings of Duke Realty Corp.
(NYSE: DRE) and its operating partnership, Duke Realty Limited
Partnership as follows:

Duke Realty Corp.
-- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-';
-- $448 million preferred stock at 'BB'.

Duke Realty Limited Partnership
-- Long-term IDR at 'BBB-';
-- $850 million unsecured revolving credit facility at 'BBB-';
-- $3 billion senior unsecured notes at 'BBB-'.

Fitch has also withdrawn the rating on the company's senior
unsecured exchangeable notes, as these securities are no longer
outstanding.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Key Rating Drivers

The ratings affirmation takes into account Duke's appropriate
leverage for the 'BBB-' rating, large pool of diversified
industrial, office, and medical office properties, strong access
to various forms of capital, and adequate unencumbered asset
coverage of unsecured debt. These credit strengths are tempered by
challenging suburban office fundamentals - mitigated by the
company's portfolio realignment - as well as low fixed-charge
coverage for the rating, increased development activity that
weighs on liquidity, and execution risk tied to projected asset
sales over the near-term.

Strong Portfolio Characteristics - Suburban Office Remains Weak

The company's geographically diversified portfolio of 774 bulk
distribution, suburban office, medical office, and retail
properties is located across 18 core markets. Duke's portfolio
also benefits from a highly diversified tenant base and well-
staggered lease expiration schedule, limiting tenant credit risk
and lease rollover risk. DRE's 20 largest tenants represented just
17.6% of annual base rents at Dec. 31, 2012. Additionally, lease
expirations average 10% of annual base rent over the next five
years, and no more than 11% expire in any given year, indicating
long-term recurring cash flow stability across the portfolio.

Duke has made substantial progress repositioning its portfolio to
focus on industrial and medical office assets while reducing
exposure to Midwestern suburban office and retail properties.
Fitch has a negative outlook on suburban office fundamentals, and
a stable outlook for industrial and healthcare fundamentals, and
continues to view DRE's repositioning strategy positively.

Suburban office assets have continued to see tepid demand,
elevated leasing costs and stagnant rental rate growth, which
Fitch expects to continue over the near term. Occupancy in the
same-store suburban office portfolio was just 84.7% at Dec. 31,
2012. In addition, growth in net effective rent remains stagnant
and Duke continues to face elevated leasing capital expenditures.
Fitch anticipates that DRE's suburban office portfolio will
continue to see weak fundamentals in the near term, including weak
rental rate growth and elevated leasing costs.

Appropriate Leverage

The company's leverage, pro forma for recent transactions, was
7.2x for the trailing 12 months (TTM) ended Dec. 31, 2012,
compared with 5.9x at Dec. 31, 2011 and 7.2x at Dec. 31, 2010. Pro
forma leverage accounts for the January 2013 equity offering,
subsequent line of credit repayment and preferred redemption.
Leverage was artificially low at Dec. 31, 2011, given timing of
the Blackstone sale. Over the medium term, Fitch expects leverage
to trend toward the mid-6.0x range, which is appropriate for the
'BBB-' rating.

In a stress case not anticipated by Fitch in which net operating
income (NOI) declines 4.7% in 2013 and 4.3% in 2014 (based on the
worst two-year decline in NOI for a balanced portfolio of
office/industrial assets as reported by the Portfolio and Property
Research 54-market index), leverage would be 9.1x, which would be
more consistent with a lower rating.

Low Fixed-Charge Expected to Improve

DRE's fixed-charge coverage ratio was 1.5x for TTM Dec. 31, 2012,
flat from 1.5x in 2011. Fitch defines fixed-charge coverage as
recurring operating EBITDA, less recurring capital expenditures
and straight-line rent adjustments, divided by total interest
incurred and preferred dividends. Coverage has remained in the
1.4x-1.6x range since 2007, and Fitch anticipates that the metric
will grow toward 2.0x over the next 12-to-24 months, driven by
reduced preferred dividends due to recent redemptions, moderate
NOI growth, reduced recurring capex and lower-cost debt financing.

In a stress case not anticipated by Fitch, in which same store NOI
declines 4.7% in 2013 and 4.3% in 2014, coverage would be 1.3x,
which would be more consistent with a 'BB+' rating.

Increasing Development Pipeline

The company continues to increase its development pipeline - the
cost to complete represented 3.1% of undepreciated book assets as
of Dec. 31, 2012, compared with 2.1%, 1.8% and 0.7% during the
prior three years, respectively. That said, the current level
represents a stark decline from the market peak. Fitch does not
foresee material funding risk over the near term given Duke's
strong access to capital and projected asset sales during 2013.

New development starts have also been focused on build-to-suit
projects, thus minimizing lease-up risk. Fitch would view
negatively a material increase in speculative development.

Adequate Financial Flexibility

Duke has strong contingent liquidity from a pool of 461
unencumbered properties as of Dec. 31, 2012. Unencumbered asset
coverage of unsecured debt based on applying an 8.5% cap rate to
unencumbered NOI was adequate for the 'BBB-' rating at 2.0x, pro
forma for the January 2013 repayment of outstanding borrowings on
the line of credit. The average cap rate for asset sales over the
past two years has been approximately 8.2%.

DRE's liquidity coverage was only 0.9x for the period Jan. 1, 2013
through Dec. 31, 2014, or 1.1x assuming DRE is able to refinance
80% of maturing mortgages. This risk is offset by Duke's
demonstrated access to various forms of capital and aforementioned
unencumbered asset profile. Fitch defines liquidity coverage as
sources of liquidity divided by uses of liquidity. Sources of
liquidity include unrestricted cash, availability under the
unsecured revolving credit facility, and projected retained cash
flow from operating activities after dividends. Uses of liquidity
include pro rata debt maturities, expected recurring capital
expenditures, and remaining development costs.

Stable Outlook

The Stable Rating Outlook is based on Fitch's expectation that
leverage will trend lower to the mid-6.0x range, that coverage
will grow toward 2.0x, and that the company will maintain adequate
financial flexibility over the near-to-medium term.

Preferred Stock Notching

The two-notch differential between DRE's IDR and preferred stock
rating is consistent with Fitch's criteria for corporate entities
with a 'BBB-' IDR. These preferred securities are deeply
subordinated and have loss absorption elements that would likely
result in poor recoveries in the event of a corporate default.

Rating Sensitivities

The following factors may have a positive impact on the ratings
and/or Rating Outlook:

-- Fitch's expectation of leverage sustaining below 6.5x (as of
    Dec. 31, 2012, leverage was approximately 7.2x pro forma for
    the January 2013 equity issuance);

-- Fitch's expectation of fixed-charge coverage sustaining above
    2.0x (LTM coverage was 1.5x).

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

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

-- Fitch's expectation of fixed-charge coverage sustaining below
    1.3x;

-- Liquidity coverage including development sustaining below
    1.0x (liquidity coverage is 0.9x through Dec. 31, 2014).


EASTMAN KODAK: Microfilm Supplier Wants Lift Stay to End Contract
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Eastman Park Micrographics Inc. asks U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan
Gropper to lift the automatic stay to allow it to cancel a revised
service provider agreement with Eastman Kodak Co. or, in the
alternative, file a notice of intent not to renew the original SPA
before March 31.

The move comes after Eastman Park signed a new media supply
contract with another manufacturer of micrographic film products
and decided to establish its own equipment sales and service
delivery capabilities.

Kodak signed a service provider agreement with Eastman Park to
provide services to its customers in U.S. and Canada.  It is one
of the contracts executed by the companies after Eastman Park
acquired substantially all of Kodak's worldwide microfilm sales
and service line of business in March 2011.

                        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.

Attorneys at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP, serve as counsel to the Debtors.  FTI Consulting,
Inc., is the restructuring advisor.   Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, is
the investment banker.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC is the
claims agent.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has tapped Milbank,
Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, as its bankruptcy counsel.

Michael S. Stamer, Esq., David H. Botter, Esq., and Abid Qureshi,
Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, represent the
Unofficial Second Lien Noteholders Committee.

The Retirees Committee has hired Haskell Slaughter Young &
Rediker, LLC, and Arent Fox, LLC as Co-Counsel; Zolfo Cooper, LLC,
as Bankruptcy Consultants and Financial Advisors; and the Segal
Company, as Actuarial Advisors.

Robert J. Stark, Esq., Andrew Dash, Esq., and Neal A. D'Amato,
Esq., at Brown Rudnick LLP, represent Greywolf Capital Partners
II; Greywolf Capital Overseas Master Fund; Richard Katz, Kenneth
S. Grossman; and Paul Martin.

Kodak completed the $527 million sale of digital-imaging
technology on Feb. 1, 2013.  Kodak intends to reorganize by
focusing on the commercial printing business.  It expects to file
a Chapter 11 plan by the end of May.


ECO BUILDING: Delays Form 10-Q for Dec. 31 Quarter
--------------------------------------------------
Eco Building Products, Inc.'s quarterly report could not be filed
within the prescribed time period due to the Company requiring
additional time to prepare and review the quarterly report for the
period ended Dec. 31, 2012.  That delay could not be eliminated by
the Company without unreasonable effort and expense.  In
accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Company will file its Form 10-Q no later than five
calendar days following the prescribed due date.

                        About Eco Building

Vista, Calif.-based Eco Building Products is a manufacturer of
proprietary wood products treated with an eco-friendly proprietary
chemistry that protects against mold, rot, decay, termites and
fire.

The Company reported a net loss of $11.2 million on $3.7 million
of revenue in fiscal 2012, compared with a net loss of
$6.0 million on $1.3 million of revenue in fiscal 2011.

Sam Kan & Company, in Alameda, Calif., expressed substantial doubt
about Eco's ability to continue as a going concern following the
fiscal 2012 financial results.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has generated minimal operating revenues, losses
from operations, significant cash used in operating activities and
its viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future
financing and successful operations.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $5.32
million in total assets, $9.54 million in total liabilities and a
$4.22 million total stockholders' deficit.

EDISON MISSION: Committee Can Retain Perkins Coie as Co-Counsel
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors of Edison Mission Energy, et al., to employ
Perkins Coie LLP as its local counsel in connection with the
Debtors' chapter 11 cases, nunc pro tunc to January 7, 2013.

Although the Committee has selected Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld
LLP to serve as its main bankruptcy counsel in the Debtors' cases,
Akin does not maintain offices in Chicago, Illinois.  Thus, the
Committee submits that it is necessary and appropriate for it to
retain and employ Perkins as local bankruptcy counsel to assist
the Committee and Akin with performing their respective duties in
these cases.

Because of the size and complexity of the Debtors' cases, in
addition to providing local support services for the Committee and
Akin, the Committee may from time to time request that Perkins
perform, among other things, the following services to the
Committee:

     a. advise the Committee with respect to its rights, duties
        and powers in these chapter 11 cases;

     b. assist the Committee in analyzing the claims of the
        Debtors' creditors and negotiating with holders of claims
        and equity interests;

     c. assist the Committee in its investigation of the Debtors'
        and its affiliates' acts, conduct, assets, liabilities and
        financial condition;

     d. assist the Committee in its analysis of, and negotiations
        with, the Debtors or any third parties concerning matters
        related to, among other things, the assumption or
        rejection of certain leases of non-residential real
        property and executory contracts, asset dispositions,
        ancillary state court or regulatory litigation, financing
        of other transactions and the terms of one or more plans
        of reorganization and accompanying disclosure statements
        and related plan documents;

     e. assist and advise the Committee with its communications to
        the general creditor body regarding significant matters in
        these chapter 11 cases;

     f. represent the Committee at all hearings and other
        proceedings before the Court;

     g. review and analyze motions, applications, orders,
        statements, operating reports and schedules filed with the
        Court and advise the Committee with respect to such
        filings;

     h. advise the Committee with respect to any legislative,
        regulatory or governmental activities;

     i. assist the Committee in preparing pleadings and
        applications as may be necessary in furtherance of the
        Committee's interests and objectives;

     j. prepare motions, applications, memoranda, adversary
        complaints, objections or other case analyses;

     k. investigate and analyze any claims against the Debtors'
        non-debtor affiliates; and

     l. perform such other legal services as may be required or
        are otherwise deemed to be in the interests of the
        Committee in accordance with the Committee's powers and
        duties as set forth in the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy
        Rules or other applicable law.

Perkins will request reimbursement of its costs and expenses and
charge for its legal services on an hourly basis in accordance
with its ordinary and customary hourly rates in effect on the date
such services are rendered.  Perkins' hourly rates range from:

     Partners         $325 to $970 per hour
     Associates       $280 to $660 per hour
     Paralegals       $145 to $360 per hour

The following attorneys are presently expected to have
responsibility for providing the vast majority of services to the
Committee:

     Name of Individual     Title        Hourly Rate
     David M. Neff          Partner          $695
     Brian A. Audette       Partner          $550
     David J. Gold          Associate        $420

To the best of the Committee's knowledge, Perkins Coie is a
"disinterested person," as that phrase is defined in Bankruptcy
Code Sec. 101(14), as modified by Bankruptcy Code Sec. 1107(b),
and does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the

EDISON MISSION: Parent Records $3.86 Per Share Charge for Q4
------------------------------------------------------------
Edison International said that effective Dec. 17, 2012, Edison
International no longer consolidates the earnings and losses of
Edison Mission Energy (EME) or its subsidiaries due to EME and
certain of its subsidiaries filing voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Edison International has recorded a full impairment of the
investment in EME as a result of the deconsolidation of EME,
recognition of losses previously deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income, a provision for losses from the EME
bankruptcy, and estimated tax impacts related to the expected
future tax deconsolidation and separation of EME from Edison
International.

The aggregate impact of these matters resulted in an after tax
charge of $3.86 per share during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Including EME quarterly earnings through the date of bankruptcy
filing, the fourth quarter loss was $4.07 per share.

ENERGY FUTURE: Moody's Withdraws 'Caa3' Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn Energy Future Holdings
Corp.'s Caa3 Corporate Family Rating, Caa3-PD Probability of
Default Rating, SGL-4 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating and
developing rating outlook.

At the same time, Moody's assigned a Ca CFR to Energy Future
Competitive Holdings Company and a B3 CFR to Energy Future
Intermediate Holdings Company LLC. Both EFCH and EFIH are
intermediate subsidiary holding companies wholly-owned by EFH.
EFCH's rating outlook is negative. EFIH's rating outlook is
negative.

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

The withdrawal of EFH's CFR reflects a series of recent actions
taken by EFH to insulate both EFH and EFIH from its more
distressed subsidiary, EFCH, which appears to have a much higher
probability of default within the consolidated corporate family.

In addition, Moody's believes EFH will continue transferring its
remaining debt to EFIH over the next 6 to 12 months, leaving as
little as debt as possible at the EFH parent holding company
entity. In that vein, Moody's believes that credit separateness
has been enhanced by the full repayment of all intercompany
borrowings received by EFH from TCEH since the initial October
2007 leveraged buyout transaction.

"Because our CFR and Loss Given Default frameworks assume all
entities within a family default at the same time, assigning two
separate CFR's is a more accurate reflection of our current credit
analysis," said Moody's Hempstead.

As part of that analysis, Moody's downgraded the senior secured
rating for Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC to Baa3 from Baa2
due to the highly leveraged capital structure at EFIH, Oncor's
indirect parent; EFIH's high reliance on Oncor's up-stream
dividends to support EFIH's debt service; the high reliance on
Oncor's up-stream tax payments to support EFH's debt service,
along with the inter-woven cash transfer relationship that remains
between EFH and EFIH. Oncor's stable rating outlook reflects the
stability and predictability of its revenues and cash flows; its
supportive regulatory environment and Moody's expectation that
Oncor will not be materially affected by any contagion risks of a
default and restructuring at its EFCH-TCEH affiliate or EFH-EFIH
parents, given the existing ring-fencing type arrangements. At
this time, all else being equal, Moody's does not see Oncor's Baa3
senior secured rating falling below investment grade unless the
ring-fence provisions fail.

"Fundamentally, Oncor is an investment grade credit," Moody's
Hempstead added "and we do not see Oncor's secured rating falling
below the investment grade ratings category, in part due to the
strong insulation provided by its ring-fence type mechanisms. But
from a long-term credit perspective, we see a heavy and permanent
reliance by a highly levered EFIH on Oncor, which is now more
appropriately reflected in Oncor's lower rating."

Ratings Rationale:

Energy Future Competitive Holdings

EFCH's Ca CFR, C-PD PDR, SGL-4 speculative grade liquidity rating
and negative rating outlook reflect its ownership of TCEH, which
is a financially-distressed wholesale merchant generating company
with an untenable capital structure. TCEH faces several
challenging business conditions, including a sustained period of
low natural gas and power commodity prices, weak market heat
rates, rising environmental compliance expenditures, slow electric
power volume growth and compressing retail margins. Moody's
projects TCEH to run out of cash by early 2014.

"We think there is a high probability for a default or material
reorganization within the next 6 to 12 months," Hempstead said,
"and material impairments are likely to be realized across the
capital structure. But we also think negotiations with lenders
regarding a restructuring of TCEH's balance sheet will be
relatively organized and amenable."

Moody's actions incorporate a view that TCEH's lenders will
eventually wind up receiving approximately 90% of the equity in
any restructuring, but it remains unclear whether that equity will
reside at the TCEH, EFCH or EFH entity level.

EFCH's SGL-4 speculative grade liquidity rating reflects steadily
dwindling liquidity reserves, which Moody's believes will be fully
exhausted between late 2013 and early 2014. TCEH's senior secured
revolver was fully drawn in late December 2012, leaving
approximately $1.9 billion of cash, no material alternate sources
of liquidity, and roughly $1.8 billion of EBITDA (including hedge
benefits) in 2013 to satisfy almost $2.7 billion in interest
expense and $0.6 billion in capital expenditures.

In light of the negative outlook and untenable capital structure,
near-term prospects to stabilize or upgrade the rating are
limited.

Moody's used its Loss Given Default methodology to determine the
ratings for EFCH and TCEH's individual securities. Based on EFCH's
Ca CFR and C-PD PDR, the $24 billion of TCEH senior secured first
lien securities are rated Caa3 LGD3, 37% (downgraded from Caa1
LGD2, 26%). The Loss Given Default model output indicates a C
rating for the $1.6 billion of second lien securities, but a one-
notch upgrade override was applied to reflect TCEH's collateral
value, which rates the securities Ca LGD5, 70% (downgraded from
Caa3 LGD4, 58%). The $4.9 billion of TCEH senior unsecured
(guaranteed) LBO Notes are rated C LGD6, 90% (downgraded from Ca
LGD5, 82%), while the $1.1 billion of TCEH's senior unsecured
(legacy) pollution control revenue bonds are rated C LGD6, 96%
(downgraded from Ca LGD6, 94%). A list of these securities is
included at the end of this press release.

Energy Future Intermediate Holdings

EFIH's B3 CFR and B3-PD PDR reflect some contagion risk with its
more distressed affiliate, EFCH, as well as significant leverage,
which points to a capital structure that may become untenable over
the longer term horizon, absent any new liquidity infusions or
debt reductions. The ratings also reflect the complex intercompany
lending arrangements that EFIH maintains with its parent, EFH, and
the potential implications that such a relationship may have on
EFH and EFIH in an EFCH or TCEH restructuring. That said, Moody's
sees a much lower probability of default at EFIH than at its lower
rated affiliates EFCH-TCEH. The B3 CFR also incorporates the
stable and predictable revenue and cash flow stream of the rate
regulated subsidiary, Oncor. EFIH owns approximately 80% of Oncor,
and Oncor has a strong suite of ring-fence type provisions
designed to insulate the utility from any contagion effects
emerging from EFCH and TCEH. Because of the strength of these
ring-fence type provisions, including the limitations around
dividends, there is a seven notch rating difference between EFIH's
CFR and Oncor's senior secured debt, even though EFIH indirectly
owns Oncor.

As such, EFIH's corporate family boundaries include the remaining
debt that resides at EFH, but does not include the debt at Oncor,
due to its ring-fence type provisions. Moody's believes that EFH
will engage in additional liability management and debt exchange
activities aimed to transfer EFH's remaining debt securities to
EFIH from EFH.

The B3 CFR factors in EFIH's dependence on unreliable external
sources of liquidity, which is a growing risk to its capital
structure. Moreover, we view the EFH senior unsecured (legacy)
note maturity in November 2014 as a risk factor for EFIH, because
EFIH owns approximately $282 million of the note and repayment of
the note is important to EFIH's 2014 liquidity profile. EFH's
stand-alone ability to repay this note is questionable, absent an
infusion of liquidity.

Based on Moody's LGD methodology and the B3 CFR, EFIH's $4.0
billion of senior secured 1st lien notes (which look to the
implied equity value of Oncor as collateral) are rated B2 LGD3 33%
(upgraded from Caa3 LGD4, 62%). The Loss Given Default model
output indicates a B1 rating for the 1st lien, but a one notch
downgrade override was applied to reflect the stock collateral
pledge; the $2.2 billion of senior secured 2nd lien notes are
rated B3 LGD4, 53% (upgraded from Caa3 LGD4, 58%) and the $1.4
billion of senior unsecured notes due 2018 are rated B3 LGD4, 53%.

Because EFH is included within the EFIH corporate family
boundaries, the B3 CFR for EFIH and Moody's LGD methodology also
drive the instrument ratings for EFH's remaining debt securities.
There are $6 million of senior secured 1st lien notes due 2019 and
2020 that used to share, pro-rata, the collateral value of EFIH's
senior secured 1st lien notes, the implied equity value in Oncor.
The lien was removed as part of recent liability management and
debt exchange activities. As such, these securities now carry the
same rating as EFH's senior unsecured (legacy) notes, Caa2 LGD6
95% (upgraded from Caa3 LGD4, 58%). The lien was also removed from
EFIH's 9.75% senior secured 1st lien notes due 2019, which are now
rated as senior unsecured debt instruments at B3 LGD4, 53%.

EFH's $60 million of remaining senior unsecured LBO notes due
2017, which are guaranteed by both EFIH and EFCH, are rated Caa2,
LGD6 90% (upgraded from Ca LGD6, 92%) and the $1.8 billion of
EFH's senior unsecured (legacy) notes due 2014, 2024 and 2034 are
rated Caa2, LGD6 95% (upgraded from Ca LGD6, 96%). Moody's notes
that EFIH owns approximately $1.2 billion of the EFH senior
unsecured (legacy) notes.

EFIH's speculative grade liquidity rating is SGL-4. Moody's
estimates slightly more than $575 million in cash at EFIH, which
will be supplemented by Oncor's upstream dividend (approximately
$250 million, excluding the minority investors) and the interest
income associated with the $1.2 billion of EFH's senior unsecured
(legacy) notes owned by EFIH (approximately $80 million in annual
interest income for 2013 and 2014). Combined, EFIH's approximately
$320 million in cash inflows is insufficient to fully address the
approximately $615 million in cash interest expenses, so the cash
balance will quickly be reduced over the next few quarters. This
expected reduction in cash balances means EFIH will need to rely
on external sources of cash over the near term horizon.

Moody's expects EFIH to have two sources of cash infusion over the
next eight quarters: up to $250 million in second lien debt
capacity and the November 15, 2014 maturity of EFH's 5.55% senior
unsecured (legacy) notes, of which EFIH owns roughly $280 million
in principal. Neither source of liquidity is strong or reliable,
since EFH's ability to repay this debt maturity is uncertain and
EFIH's incremental second lien capacity is subject to market
conditions.

As a result, the outlook on EFIH's ratings is negative, primarily
reflecting its weak liquidity profile, its heavy reliance on Oncor
for upstream dividend and tax payments and the potential for
contagion risk from an EFCH-TECH restructuring.

Oncor Electric Delivery Company

The rating downgrade of Oncor's senior secured debt, to Baa3 from
Baa2, reflects the steadily rising debt at its parent holding
companies, which look to Oncor's implied equity value for
collateral or recovery. The downgrade also reflects the heavy
reliance of both EFIH (in the form of upstream dividends) and EFH
(in the form of upstream tax payments) on Oncor for liquidity
support, which constrains Oncor's otherwise robust financial
flexibilities.

As indicated by the maintenance of an investment grade rating and
a stable outlook, Moody's does not expect Oncor to be pulled into
any restructuring proceeding related to its affiliates, EFCH or
TCEH, but Moody's does think Oncor will indirectly feel some
contagion risk. Approximately 30% of Oncor's revenues are derived
from its affiliate, TCEH though it's retail electric provider
subsidiary, TXU Energy. Notwithstanding Moody's understanding of
Onocr's ring fence provisions, both EFH and Oncor have
consistently disclosed in their SEC risk factor disclosures that
the ring fence might not work as planned.

Oncor's stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that a failure
of the ring fence provisions is a remote probability; that Oncor's
regulatory relationships will remain constructive, and that Oncor
will continue to receive timely recovery of its prudently incurred
costs and investments. The stable outlook also reflects an
expectation that Oncor will produce, on average, a ratio of cash
flow adjusted for the effects of working capital and extraordinary
bonus depreciation to debt will remain in the high-teen's range
and that Oncor will not materially revise its liquidity
strategies, where it has been carrying approximately $1.0 billion
in short-term debt. While Oncor's short-term revolver borrowings
are excluded from its capital structure with respect to regulatory
requirements that govern its upstream dividend policy, Oncor is
prohibited from exceeding a 60/40 debt capital structure.

EZE SOFTWARE: S&P Assigns 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Eze Software (a/k/a Eze Castle Software Inc.).
The outlook is stable.

S&P also assigned a 'B+' issue-level rating with a recovery rating
of '2' to the company's $75 million senior secured revolving
credit facility and $335 million first-lien term loan.  In
addition, S&P assigned a 'CCC+' issue-level rating with a '6'
recovery rating to the company's $170 million senior secured
second-lien term loan.  The '2' recovery rating indicates
expectations for substantial (70% to 90%) recovery of principal in
the event of default and the '6' recovery rating indicates
expectations for negligible (0% to 10%) recovery.

"The ratings on Eze Software reflect the company's 'weak' business
profile, characterized by its relatively narrow target market and
dependence on cyclical financial end markets, and its 'highly
leveraged' financial profile," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Christian Frank.  The company's leading market position in
the hedge fund software market, highly recurring license revenues,
and modest positive free cash flow are partial offsets.

The stable outlook reflects Eze Software's stable free cash flow
generation, resulting from the company's recurring and predictable
revenue base.  It also reflects S&P's expectation that it will
maintain its competitive position in key markets.  S&P may lower
the rating if profitability deteriorates or if the company pursues
a material shareholder distribution, such that pro-forma adjusted
leverage is sustained in the low 7x area.

Although unlikely in the next 12 months, S&P could raise the
rating if the company continues its revenue and EBITDA growth, or
it uses its free cash flow to repay debt, such that adjusted
leverage declines to 5x or below on a sustained basis.


FLORIDA GAMING: Silvermark Due Diligence Period Extended April 15
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Florida Gaming Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Florida Gaming Centers, Inc., entered into an amendment to the
Stock Purchase Agreement with Silvermark LLC pursuant to which the
parties agreed to extend until April 15, 2013, the date by which
Silvermark is required to obtain a commitment of title insurance
and to conduct a survey of certain real property under the
parties' Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of Nov. 25, 2012.
Additionally, as part of the Amendment, Silvermark consented to
Centers' entry into certain agreements.  A copy of the Amendment

                       About Florida Gaming

Florida Gaming Corporation operates live Jai Alai games at
frontons in Ft. Pierce, and Miami, Florida through its Florida
Gaming Centers, Inc. subsidiary.  The Company also conducts
intertrack wagering (ITW) on jai alai, horse racing and dog racing
from its facilities.  Poker is played at the Miami and Ft. Pierce
Jai-Alai, and dominoes are played at the Miami Jai-Alai.  In
addition, the Company operates Tara Club Estates, Inc., a
residential real estate development located near Atlanta in Walton
County, Georgia.  Approximately 46.2% of the Company's common
stock is controlled by the Company's Chairman and CEO either
directly or beneficially through his ownership of Freedom Holding,
Inc.  The Company is based in Miami, Florida.

The Company reported a net loss of $21.76 million in 2011,
compared with a net loss of $4.84 million in 2010.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in default on an $87,000,000
credit agreement regarding certain covenants.  The Company's
continued existence as a going concern is dependent on its ability
to obtain a waiver of its credit default and to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its obligations.

After auditing the 2011 results, King & Company, PSC, in
Louisville, Kentucky, noted that the Company has experienced
recurring losses from operations, cash flow deficiencies, and is
in default of certain credit facilities, all of which raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $77.40
million in total assets, $116.43 million in total liabilities and
a $39.02 million total stockholders' deficit.


FOXCO ACQUISITION: Moody's Affirms B2 Rating on Senior Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B2 rating on FoxCo
Acquisition Sub, LLC's amended and increased 1st lien senior
secured term loan B and the existing 1st lien senior secured
revolver. Proceeds from the proposed increase in the term loan B
plus balance sheet cash will be used to fund a $290 million
special dividend. Amended terms to the credit agreement will
provide greater flexibility for asset sales and will relax voting
requirements related to change of control. Moody's also affirmed
the B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default
Rating. The rating outlook is stable.

Affirmed:

Issuer: FoxCo Acquisition Sub, LLC

   Corporate Family Rating: Affirmed B2

   Probability of Default Rating: Affirmed B2 --PD (assumes the

   $1,000 million 1st Lien Sr Secured Term Loan B due July 2017
   (previously $763 million outstanding): Affirmed B2, LGD3 --
   49%

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: FoxCo Acquisition Sub, LLC

Outlook is Stable.

Ratings Rationale:

FoxCo is weakly positioned in the B2 corporate family rating due
to high leverage with a 2-year average debt-to-EBITDA ratio of
6.7x estimated for December 31, 2012 (including Moody's standard
adjustments, pro forma for the proposed dividend) and recent track
record for distributions. The rating is forward looking as Moody's
expects 2-year average debt-to-EBITDA ratios to improve to less
than 6.0x by FYE2013 supported by low single-digit percentage core
revenue growth, contractual increases in high margin
retransmission fees, and at least 9% to 10% free cash flow-to-debt
ratios. The proposed transaction elevates annual interest expense
due to the increase in funded debt balances to $1.0 billion from
$763 million; however, 2-year average EBITDA coverage of interest
expense is expected to remain good at roughly 3.0x for the next 12
months. Moody's notes that all debt is pre-payable which Moody's
believes is helpful in providing Oak Hill flexibility in
exercising strategic options. The financial sponsor has chosen to
receive dividends totaling $490 million within six months rather
than fund acquisitions or reduce debt balances. Given high
leverage as proposed, ratings could be downgraded if initial debt
balances exceed these levels due to an upsizing of credit
facilities. Moody's believes leverage needs to be reduced below
projected 2013 levels to position the company for a refinancing of
the term loan B prior to its 2017 maturity and prior to the
renewal of the Fox affiliation agreement which ends in July 2018.

For LTM September 30, 2012, FoxCo achieved 8.7% growth in net
revenues driven by significant increases in political advertising
and retransmission fees. Moody's expects a marked increase in
revenues for the remainder of FY2012 given high demand for
political advertising at FoxCo's stations. Looking forward,
Moody's expects the company to generate low single-digit
percentage growth for core advertising revenues in 2013 (excludes
absence of significant political ad sales) supported by the
company's focus on local markets. Beyond 2013, FoxCo will continue
to benefit from meaningful increases in retransmission revenues
and related cash flow supplemented by significant political
revenues in 2014. Ratings are constrained by the company's lack of
national scale, a station portfolio with mostly Fox affiliates,
and event risk including additional dividends. FoxCo faces
heightened competition for advertising dollars due to ongoing
media fragmentation as cable television and digital services
increase their share of ad dollars. Ratings are supported by good
EBITDA margins due to growing high margin retransmission revenues
as well as cost savings from its operating agreement with Local TV
and management contract with Tribune Company. Cash balances of a
minimum $10 million over the next 12 months plus high single-digit
percentage free cash flow-to-debt ratios contribute to good
liquidity.

The assigned ratings are subject to review of final documentation
and assume no increase in the proposed dividend or aggregate
amount of credit facilities.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's view that FoxCo will grow core
advertising revenues as well as net retransmission fees and apply
excess cash to reduce debt balances resulting in 2-year debt-to-
EBITDA ratios improving from the initial 6.7x level (including
Moody's standard adjustments) estimated for the proposed
refinancing and dividend. The outlook also incorporates Moody's
expectations that the company will maintain good liquidity and
generate high single-digit percentage free cash flow-to-debt
ratios in the absence of subsequent dividends.

Ratings could be downgraded if the company upsizes the new term
loan B resulting in initial leverage exceeding currently proposed
levels. Ratings could also be downgraded if the company is not
able to grow core revenues due to soft ad demand in key markets
reflecting economic weakness in key markets or lack of competitive
Fox programming, and resulting in 2-year debt-to-EBITDA ratios
(including Moody's standard adjustments) being sustained above
5.75x beyond 1Q2014. Weakened liquidity, including low single-
digit free cash flow, could also lead to a downgrade. An upgrade
is not likely given ownership by a financial sponsor and FoxCo's
recent track record for increasing debt balances and funding
distributions; however, Moody's could consider an upgrade of
ratings if management provides assurances they would operate the
company consistent with the higher rating and if revenue growth
and debt repayments result in trailing 2-year debt-to-EBITDA
ratios being sustained comfortably below 4.50x with low double
digit free cash flow-to-debt ratios.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Broadcast and Advertising Related Industry Methodology published
in May 2012. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.

Formed in 2008 through the acquisition of eight stations from Fox
Television Stations, Inc., FoxCo Acquisition Sub, LLC owns or
operates 10 stations in DMA's ranked #17 to #57, including seven
owned Fox affiliates and one owned CBS affiliate, plus two
stations operated under Local Marketing Agreements with Tribune
Broadcasting. Local TV Holdings, LLC, which is 95% owned by
affiliates of Oak Hill Capital Partners, serves as FoxCo's parent
company. The company maintains headquarters in Newport, Kentucky
and net revenue for the 12 months ended September 30, 2012 totaled
$372 million.


FREESEAS INC: Issues Add'l 90,000 Shares to Hanover
---------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, on
Feb. 13, 2013, entered an order approving, among other things, the
fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange pursuant to
Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
accordance with a stipulation of settlement between FreeSeas Inc.,
and Hanover Holdings I, LLC, in the matter entitled Hanover
Holdings I, LLC v. FreeSeas Inc., Case No. 150802/2013.  Hanover
commenced the Action against the Company on Jan. 28, 2013, to
recover an aggregate of $740,651 of past-due accounts payable of
the Company, plus fees and costs.  The Settlement Agreement became
effective and binding upon the Company and Hanover upon execution
of the Order by the Court on Feb. 13, 2013.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by the
Order, on Feb. 13, 2013, the Company issued and delivered to
Hanover 185,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par
value.

The Settlement Agreement provides that the Initial Settlement
Shares will be subject to adjustment on the trading day
immediately following the "Calculation Period" to reflect the
intention of the parties that the total number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued to Hanover pursuant to the Settlement Agreement
be based upon a specified discount to the trading volume weighted
average price of the Common Stock for a specified period of time
subsequent to the Court's entry of the Order.

On Feb. 19, 2013, the Company issued and delivered to Hanover
90,000 Additional Settlement Shares, and on Feb. 25, 2013, the
Company issued and delivered to Hanover another 90,000 Additional
Settlement Shares.

Since the issuance of the Initial Settlement Shares and Additional
Settlement Shares, Hanover demonstrated to the Company's
satisfaction that it was entitled to receive another 90,000
Additional Settlement Shares based on the adjustment formula, and
that the issuance of those Additional Settlement Shares to Hanover
would not result in Hanover exceeding the beneficial ownership
limitation.  Accordingly, on Feb. 26, 2013, the Company issued and
delivered to Hanover 90,000 Additional Settlement Shares pursuant
to the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by the Order.

company primarily engaged in the exploration for and development
and production of natural gas from coal seams (coalbed methane)
and non-conventional shallow gas.  Its principal operations and
producing properties are located in the Cahaba and Black Warrior
Basins in Alabama and the central Appalachian Basin in Virginia
and West Virginia.  It also owns additional coalbed methane and
oil and gas development rights, principally in Alabama, Virginia,
West Virginia, and British Columbia.  As of March 31, 2012, it
owns a total of 192,000 net acres of coalbed methane and oil and
gas development rights.

"As of May 11, 2012, we had $148.6 million outstanding under our
Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement," the Company said in
its quarterly report for the period ending March 31, 2012.  "As of
March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants in
our Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement provides, however,
that if the amount outstanding at any time exceeds the 'borrowing
base', we must provide additional collateral to the lenders or
repay the excess as provided in the Credit Agreement.  The
borrowing base is set in the sole discretion of our lenders in
June and December of each year based, in part, on the value of our
estimated reserves as determined by the lenders using natural gas
prices forecasted by the lenders."

"Due to the decline in the bank group's price projections, we
expect our outstanding loan balance at the June determination date
will exceed the new borrowing base, resulting in a borrowing base
deficiency.  We do not have additional collateral to provide to
the lenders and we expect that our operating cash flows would be
insufficient to repay the expected borrowing base deficiency, as
required under the Credit Agreement. As such, unless we amend the
Credit Agreement, we may be in default under the agreement when
the borrowing base is determined in June 2012.  In addition, the
elimination of the unused availability under the borrowing base,
which is a factor in our working capital covenant, may result in a
future default of that covenant under the Credit Agreement."

The Company said it has begun discussions with its bank group.
According to the Company, "Until the borrowing base for June 2012
has been determined, we will not know the amount of the
deficiency.  As of March 31, 2012, the debt is classified as long-
term as we are not in violation of any debt covenants.  Should we
be in violation of any covenants which have not been waived or
have a borrowing base deficiency as of June 30, 2012, some or all
of the debt will be reclassified to current.  There are no
assurances that we will be able to amend our Credit Agreement or
obtain a waiver.  If we do obtain a waiver or an amendment, there
can be no assurance as to the cost or terms of such an amendment."

"These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern for the next twelve months."

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$108.08 million in total assets, $171.67 million in total
liabilities, $33.28 million in mezzanine equity, and a $96.86
million total stockholders' deficit.


GENERAL EMPLOYMENT: NYSE MKT Sends Notice on Missing Financials
---------------------------------------------------------------
General Employment Enterprises, Inc. disclosed that on Feb. 21,
2013, the Company received a letter from NYSE MKT, LLC which
stated, among other things, that the Company has failed to timely
file its quarterly financial statement with the SEC for the
quarter ended Dec. 31, 2012, and that the timely filing of this
report is a condition to the Company's continued listing on the
NYSE MKT pursuant to Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT'S
Company Guide.  The Company has furnished a plan to the NYSE MKT,
as previously required, advising the NYSE MKT of an action plan it
has taken that will bring the Company in compliance with Sections
134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT's Company Guide by April 17, 2013.

The Company and its new independent registered public accounting
firm are working diligently to finalize the Company's financial
statements in order to allow the Company to file its annual report
for its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012 and the quarterly report
for the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.

If the NYSE MKT determines that the Company has made a reasonable
demonstration of its ability to return to compliance with the
continued listing standards, the NYSE MKT may accept the Plan and
the Company would then be able to continue its listing during the
Plan period, during which time the Company will be subject to
periodic reviews by the NYSE MKT.  If the NYSE MKT does not accept
the Plan, the Company will be subject to delisting proceedings.
As previously reported, if the Plan is accepted, but the Company
is not in compliance with all the continued listing standards of
the Company Guide by April 17, 2013, or if the Company does not
make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan period, the
NYSE MKT may initiate delisting proceedings.  The Company may
appeal a determination by the NYSE MKT to initiate delisting
proceedings in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the
Company Guide.  There can be no assurance that the Company's Plan
will be accepted by the NYSE MKT, or that, if accepted, the
Company will be able to successfully implement the Plan and return
to compliance with the NYSE MKT's continued listing standards
within the required time period.

The Company's common stock continues to trade on the NYSE MKT
stock exchange under the symbol "JOB," but will become subject to
the trading symbol extension ".LF" to denote non-compliance with

HCR HEALTHCARE: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3; Outlook is Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded HCR Healthcare LLC's
Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2 and its Probability of
Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD. In addition, Moody's
downgraded the senior secured credit facilities ratings to B1 from
Ba3. The outlook is stable.

The downgrade of HCR's Corporate Family Rating reflects lower
EBITDA and cash flow, due to reimbursement reductions that
resulted in very high leverage (per GAAP reporting). Moody's
expects only modest improvement in financial performance in 2013,
which will limit near-term improvement in leverage.

The following ratings were downgraded and LGD assessments revised:

HCR Healthcare LLC

  Corporate family rating to B3 from B2

  Probability of default rating to B3-PD from B2-PD

  $175 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring
  2016 to B1 (LGD 2, 25%) from Ba3 (LGD2, 23%)

  $400 million senior secured term loan due 2018 to B1 (LGD 2,
  25%) from Ba3 (LGD2, 23%)

Ratings Rationale:

HCR's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects HCR's considerable
financial leverage when allowing for the sizable lease obligation
and lower earnings due to reimbursement reductions that will limit
near-term improvement to credit metrics. It will be difficult for
HCR to reduce leverage given that the preponderance of adjusted
leverage relates to the company's sale and leaseback of skilled
nursing and assisted living facilities. Furthermore, despite the
expectation that revenue growth will be challenged given continued
reimbursement pressures and significant cash outlays related to
leased facilities, Moody's expects the company to maintain a good
liquidity profile.

The rating benefits from HCR's scale, geographic diversity and
strong market position in the skilled nursing sector, which should
help the company adapt to future reimbursement changes. Moody's
also expects continued growth in related lines of businesses,
including assisted living and hospice.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation for continuing
high leverage and only modest improvement in EBITDA in 2013, which
will limit strengthening in credit metrics. Moody's expects the
company to remain disciplined with respect to acquisitions and the
use of incremental leverage, while mitigating future reimbursement
pressures with cost reductions and curtailing investment growth if
necessary.

Given the expected flatness of credit metrics, Moody's does not
foresee a rating upgrade in the near term. However, the rating
could be upgraded if the company can substantially grow earnings
and cash flow so that key credit metrics materially improve. In
addition, Moody's will need to see the reimbursement rate
environment stabilize. If Moody's comes to expect leverage --
using the GAAP presentation of the financing obligation --
improving to around 6.5 times, the rating could be upgraded.

Moody's could downgrade the rating if there are further negative
developments regarding future reimbursement levels or if the
company's operations weaken, including a softening in occupancy
levels. In addition, if the company engages in debt-financed
acquisitions or its liquidity profile weakens, the rating could be
downgraded.

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

HCR Healthcare LLC provides a range of health care services,
including skilled nursing care, assisted living, post-acute
medical and rehabilitation care, hospice care, home health care
and rehabilitation therapy. HCR is owned by private equity sponsor
The Carlyle Group and management. For the twelve months ended
September 30, 2012, HCR generated $4.1 billion in revenues.

HOSTESS BRANDS: Bakery Workers' Union Opposes Sale to Flowers
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Hostess Brands Inc., the liquidating baker of Wonder
bread, will conduct an auction for most of its bread business on
Feb. 28 where the initial bid of $390 million will be made by
Flowers Foods Inc.

According the report, the bakery workers' union filed papers
Feb. 25 opposing a sale to Flowers, saying the initial bidder "has
not committed to preserving a single job."  The union told the
judge that a buyer's commitment to hire former workers should be
taken into consideration in deciding who made the highest or best
offer.

Brian Mahoney of Bankruptcy Law360 reported that a group of 141
labor unions told a New York bankruptcy judge Monday that they
were reserving the right to seek damages over job losses tied to
the combined $390 million sale of Hostess Brands Inc.'s bread- and
beefsteak-related brands.

The report related that the Interstate Brands Corp.-International
Brotherhood of Teamsters National Negotiating Committee said the
sale of Hostess' bread and beefsteak lines to Flowers Foods do not
guarantee any jobs to current Hostess employees who work under the
brands.

assets of $982 million and liabilities of $1.43 billion as of the
Chapter 11 filing.  The bankruptcy filing was made two years after
predecessors Interstate Bakeries Corp. and its affiliates emerged
from bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D. Mo. Case No. 04-45814).

In the new Chapter 11 case, Hostess has hired Jones Day as
bankruptcy counsel; Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP as general

Hostess Brands in mid-November 2012 opted to pursue the orderly
wind down of its business and sale of its assets after the Bakery,
Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union (BCTGM) commenced a
nationwide strike.  The Debtor failed to reach an agreement with
BCTGM on contract changes.  Hostess Brands said it intends to
retain approximately 3,200 employees to assist with the initial
phase of the wind down.  Employee headcount is expected to
decrease by 94% within the first 16 weeks of the wind down.  The
entire process was expected to be completed in one year.

The first auction will take place Feb. 28, 2013, where the initial
bid of $390 million for most of the bread business will be made by
Flowers Foods Inc.  March 13 will be the auction for the snack
cake business where the opening bid of $410 million cash will come
from affiliates of Apollo Global Management LLC and C. Dean
Metropoulos & Co.  The major sales will close out on March 15 with
an auction to learn if $56.35 million is the most to be earned
from selling some of the remaining bread businesses and the Drakes
cakes operation.

INTELLICELL BIOSCIENCES: Borrows $500,000 From JMJ Financial
------------------------------------------------------------
Intellicell Biosciences, Inc., on Feb. 20, 2013, entered into
promissory note, as amended, with JMJ Financial, pursuant to which
the Investor agreed to lend the Company up to an aggregate
principal amount of $500,000 for an aggregate purchase price of
$450,000.  The Investor provided $100,000 to the Company on the
Effective Date.  The Note matures one year from the date of each
payment by the Investor to the Company.

The Company may repay the Note at any time on or before the 90th
day after the Effective Date, after which the Company may not make
further payments on the Note prior to the Maturity Date without
written approval from the Investor.  If the Company repays the
Note on or before the 90th day after the Effective Date, the
interest rate under the Note will be 0%.  If the Company does not
repay the Note on or before the 90th day after the Effective Date,
a one-time interest payment of 12% will be applied to the
Principal Sum.

The Investor may convert, beginning on the six month anniversary
of the Effective Date, the outstanding principal and accrued
interest on the Note into shares of the Company's common stock,
par value $0.001 per share at a conversion price per share equal
to the lesser of (i) $0.16 or (ii) 60% of the lowest trade price
in the 25 trading days prior to the date of conversion.  The
Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment for, among other
things, the Company's failure to be DTC eligible and only being
Xclearing deposit eligible.

The Company will include on the next registration statement the
Company files with Securities and Exchange Commission all shares
issuable upon conversion of the Note.  Failure to include those
securities on the next registration statement will result in
liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of
the Note, but not less than $25,000, being immediately due and
payable to the Investor at its election in the form of cash or
added to the Principal Sum of the Note.

The Investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to
convert the Note such that the number of shares of the Company
common stock held by the Investor and its affiliates after such
conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the Company's then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries of any security with any term
more favorable to the holder of that security or with a term in
favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly
provided to the Investor in the Note, then the Company will notify
the Borrower of such additional or more favorable term and such
term, at Investor's option, will become a part of the transaction
documents with the Investor.

JETBLUE AIRWAYS: Fitch Affirms 'CCC+' Senior Unsecured Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgrades JetBlue Airways Corp.'s Issuer Default
Rating (IDR) to 'B' from 'B-', and affirms the senior unsecured
rating at 'CCC+', while revising the recovery rating to 'RR6' from
'RR5', which applies to approximately $285 million of convertible
notes. The Rating Outlook for JBLU is Stable.

Key Rating Drivers

The upgrade reflects JBLU's industry leading unit costs and
operating margin, track record of being consistently profitable
(even during downturns), improving cash flow and healthy liquidity
(including a growing unencumbered aircraft pool) in context of a
significantly improved operating environment in the US airline
industry. The 'B' rating also incorporates JBLU's lease-adjusted
leverage which has improved in recent years, but remains high at
approximately 6x on lease-adjusted debt/EBITDAR basis and a growth
strategy that is more aggressive than peers.

Despite JBLU's expansion and the devastating impact of Sandy, the
company was able to produce a PRASM gain of 3.6% in 2012. This is
impressive in context of a 7.6% increase in capacity, and reflects
1.4 point increase in load factor and a 1.5% increase in average
fares. Non-fuel costs have also been on the rise, with non-fuel
CASM up 3.3% reflecting a sharp increase (+38% y/y) in maintenance
costs. Nonetheless, JBLU remained profitable in 2012, with an
operating margin of 7.5% up a modest 40 basis points (bps) year-
over-year and at the high-end of its peers.

JBLU recorded its highest cash from operations in the tune of $700
million last year, but higher capex including an opportunistic
$200 million prefunding of 2013 deliveries led to negative free
cash flow (FCF) in 2012, as expected. FCF, along with ROIC,
remains a management focus as evidenced in the three consecutive
years of solid FCF from 2009-2011. JBLU's higher capex budget for
both new A320 deliveries and strategic investments in non-aircraft
is expected to pressure FCF this year. The company is budgeting
$450 million for aircraft (aircraft deliveries, sharklets etc.)
and $245 million non-aircraft strategic investments including $80
million earmarked for building out an international terminal at
Terminal 5 at JFK.

JBLU also faces looming debt maturities of ~$1.2 billion during
2013-2015, mainly aircraft backed debt. Fitch expects JBLU to use
Brazilian export financing for its EMB 190 deliveries, and fund
its other capital commitments through a combination of existing
cash, operating cash flow and external funding.

Accordingly, total liquidity, which includes cash, marketable
securities and a $125 million line of credit with American Express
(for jet-fuel purchase) as a percentage of trailing 12 month
revenues, is expected to decline to the mid-to-high teens from
levels above 20% seen over the past several years. During the
fourth quarter, JBLU upsized its line of credit with Morgan
Stanley to $200 million from $100 million. This facility is
secured by a portion of its marketable securities, hence, not
included in our total liquidity calculation. Furthermore, JBLU is
growing its unencumbered pool which now includes 11 unencumbered
A320s, considered Tier 1 collateral, up from just one aircraft at
year-end 2011.

Fitch's liquidity analysis also incorporates only modest
improvement in cash flow, given Fitch's conservative operating
assumptions. Management expects year-over-year PRASM to rebound in
March based on current booking trends and the Easter/Passover
holiday shift into March from April this year. Even with PRASM
ramping up after the first quarter, Fitch expects only a modest
improvement in operating margin reflecting our expectations for
slower PRASM growth for the year and continued maintenance cost
inflation. Management's guidance calls for a 1%-3% increase in
CASM, excluding fuel and profit-sharing. That said, an increase in
fare activity and corporate share (in Boston), higher connecting
traffic from its domestic and international partners, and growth
in high-margin ancillary revenues should boost total RASM higher
than our expectations, and also drive an increase in operating
margins, FCF and liquidity.

Near-term operating risks include a spike in jet-fuel prices and a
slowdown in the U.S. economy. Fuel risk is partially mitigated by
JBLU's conservative hedging initiatives, and more importantly, the
much improved operating environment in the domestic airline
industry which enables U.S. carriers to raise fares to mitigate
rising fuel costs. Especially, in context of a strong economy
which should also boost demand for air travel, making it easier
for JBLU and its peers to raise fares to alleviate rising fuel
costs. Conversely, a weaker macro environment makes JBLU's growth
plans more risky when compared to its rated peers who are all
keeping capacity constrained. That said, the silver lining in a
slowing economy for JBLU and the airline industry is the low
energy prices that usually accompany a macro slowdown.

Longer-term operating risks include possible labor inflation. JBLU
continues to benefit from lower costs than its peers including a
significant labor cost advantage. JBLU currently has some of the
youngest pilots and crew members in the country and aims to be
peer competitive with wage rates. Therefore, the new pilot rates
recently established at its legacy peers could potentially put
upward pressure on labor costs. That said, JBLU's employees are
not unionized giving the carrier more flexibility with schedule
and network changes and without a pension burden, Fitch expects
JBLU to maintain its cost advantage over the near term.

Other long-term risks include possible restructuring of the new
American network which could shift some of JBLU's current
connecting traffic from American at JFK to Philadelphia where US
Airways maintains a hub. That said, the new American has not yet
announced any network changes and Fitch expects it will be a while
before it potentially becomes a material threat to JBLU.
Importantly, JBLU's growing list of other domestic and
international partners should mitigate some of this risk.

Fitch's recovery analysis is based on a going concern valuation
with assumptions that are conservative compared to current market
multiples, as well as exit multiples in prior airline
bankruptcies. The issue rating for JBLU's converts are affirmed at
'CCC+' reflecting the one-notch upgrade of the IDR as well as
downward revision of the recovery rating from 'RR5' to 'RR6'. The
recovery rating is lower due to the inclusion the new $200 million
secured line of credit and a $514 million construction obligation
that was previously not included in Fitch's analysis, which has
now lowered recovery prospects for the convertible debentures.

Rating Sensitivities

The recommended Outlook is Stable. Fitch could revise the Outlook
to Positive if JBLU generates margins and cash flow higher than
our expectations and improves its liquidity profile by enhancing
its revolver capacity and/or grow its unencumbered base.
Conversely, the Outlook would be revised to Negative if JBLU's FCF
or liquidity position weakens, especially in a fuel spike or
falling demand scenario.

Fitch upgrades JBLU's ratings as:

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) upgraded to 'B' from 'B-';

Fitch revises JBLU's ratings as:

-- Senior unsecured debt to 'CCC+/RR6' from 'CCC+/RR5'.

LEAP WIRELESS: Increasing Leverage Cues Moody's to Cut CFR to B3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Leap Wireless
International Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2. The
downgrade primarily reflects Moody's expectations that both churn
and capital intensity will remain high, causing leverage to
increase.

Moody's also assigned a Ba3 (LGD 2 - 21%) rating to Leap Wireless
International Inc.'s proposed $1.425 billion term loan C offering.
The debt will be issued by Leap's wholly owned subsidiary, Cricket
Communications, Inc. and the proceeds will be utilized to
refinance the Company's existing senior secured notes due 2016 at
the May 2013 call price step-down as well as refinance the
Company's existing convertible notes due 2014. The outlook is
stable.

Moody's has taken the following rating actions:

Issuer: Leap Wireless International, Inc.

  Corporate Family Rating -- downgraded to B3 from B2

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

  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating -- SGL-1, unchanged

  Outlook -- Stable, unchanged

Issuer: Cricket Communications, Inc.

  Term Loan C due 2020, Assigned Ba3 (LGD2 - 21%)

  Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020 -- downgraded to Caa1 (LGD5 -
  77%) from B3 (LGD5 - 70%)

  Term Loan B due 2019 -- downgraded to Ba3 (LGD2 - 21%) from Ba2
  (LGD2 - 17%)

  Outlook -- Stable, Unchanged

Ratings Rationale:

Leap's B3 corporate family rating ("CFR") reflects the Company's
high leverage, weak operating performance and the intensely
competitive nature of the U.S. wireless industry where penetration
is already 100%. "The challenges associated with being a small
operator in an industry that is increasingly dominated by large
national network providers are becoming more difficult, if not
impossible, to overcome," said Dennis Saputo, Moody's Senior Vice
President. Moody's expects the Company will experience declining
revenues and consume cash over the next few years given Moody's
expectations for continuing subscriber losses, some of which are
due to the Company's decision to exit unprofitable service
offerings. While Moody's believes that recent management
initiatives will lead to improved execution, increased competition
from Sprint, T-Mobile USA and the other large operators is
expected to keep churn high. "Leap's iPhone commitment also
represents a potentially significant overhang on the Company's
financial strength as it could be required by Apple to purchase
above the Company's current iPhone sales rate to meet the minimum
purchase commitment," continued Saputo. The rating is supported by
the Company's valuable spectrum assets and good liquidity.

The $1.425 billion term loan C due 2020 is rated Ba3 (LGD-2, 21%)
due to its secured status and pari-passu ranking to the Company's
existing senior secured debt. Leap's proposed refinancing is an
opportunity to eliminate $1.35 billion in near-term debt
maturities and strengthens the Company's strategic and operating
flexibility. Moody's anticipates that the proposed refinancing
will result in an estimated $30 million interest cost savings
annually. However, the decision to refinance the 2014 convertible
notes instead of paying down these notes with cash on hand will
result in a higher debt balance and leverage than Moody's had
previously expected.

Leap's stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that recent
strategic and operational changes will enable the Company to
preserve its operating margins which will allow the Company to
minimize the impact of the continuing subscriber losses.

The rating could be lowered if liquidity weakens appreciably or if
Leap's strategic changes fail to realize the anticipated benefits,
particularly with churn and margins. Specifically, if EBITDA
margins (Moody's adjusted) were to drop below 25% (which Moody's
believes would happen if churn doesn't decrease and market share
doesn't stabilize within a couple of quarters), the ratings would
be at risk.

While unlikely in the near-term, a rating upgrade would result if
leverage were likely to remain below 6.0x and the company returns
to positive free cash flow on a sustainable basis while preserving
good liquidity.

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


LEAP WIRELESS: S&P Assigns 'B+' Rating to $1.425-Bil. Term Loan C
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' issue-level
rating and '1' recovery rating to Leap Wireless International
Inc.'s proposed $1.425 billion term loan C, to be issued by
subsidiary Cricket Communications Inc.  Proceeds will be used to
refinance the company's existing senior secured notes and
convertible notes.  Upon completion of this transaction, the 'B+'
issue level rating on the secured notes and 'CCC' issue level
rating on the convertible notes will be withdrawn.  At the same
time, S&P lowered the rating on Cricket's unsecured notes to
'CCC+' from 'B-', and revised the recovery rating to '5' from '4'.

S&P's 'B-' corporate credit rating on Leap and stable outlook are
unchanged.  S&P do not expect this transaction to materially alter
the company's financial profile, which is highly leveraged, and
includes debt to EBITDA in excess of 6x, coupled with negative
levels of free operating cash flows.

                          About Lee Brick

Sanford, North Carolina-based Lee Brick & Tile Company filed a
bare-bones Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.C. Case No. 12-04463)
on June 15, 2012, in Wilson on June 15, 2012.

Lee Brick -- http://www.leebrick.com/-- began its operations in
1951 after Hugh Perry and 10 local businessmen from Lee County
decided three years prior to invest in the business of
brickmaking.  In the late 1950's Hugh Perry bought out the
investing partners, making Lee Brick a solely owned and operated
family company.  Hugh Perry named his son Frank president in 1970,
which he served until 1999 and currently serves as CEO.  Since
1999 Don Perry succeeded his father and serves as the company's
president.  Frank Perry, along with his sons Don and Gil, and
brother-in-law JR (rad) Holton have helped guide the family
business through revolutionary changes in brick manufacturing that
few people in the ceramic industry could have ever anticipated.

Judge Randy D. Doub presides over the case.  Kevin L. Sink, Esq.,
at Nicholls & Crampton, P.A., serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The
petition was signed by Don W. Perry, president.

The Debtor, in its amended schedules, disclosed $27,851,968 in
assets and $14,136,003 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.
In the original schedules, the Debtor scheduled $27,851,968 in
assets and $14,135,140 in liabilities.  Lender Capital Bank is
owed $13.0 million, of which $6.5 million is secured.

Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., reported net loss of $14.02
million on $650,000 of total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31,
2012, as compared with net income of $6.15 million on $972,000 of
total revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $8.97 million
in total assets, $10.54 million in total liabilities and a
$1.57 million total shareholders' deficit.

concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and
has an accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

MF GLOBAL: Court Asked to Resolve JPM Bid Before Voting Deadline
----------------------------------------------------------------
JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. urges a bankruptcy judge to hear its
motion to pursue claims against MF Global Holdings Ltd. before
creditors vote on the company's liquidation plan.

The bank said creditors of MF Global's finance unit who will cast
their votes come March 25 should know in advance of the vote if
rejecting the plan would result in pursuit of the finance unit's
claims against the holding company, and allow them to increase
their recovery.

The motion "should be resolved now" so that creditors of the
finance unit are more "fully informed" about the consequences of
their choice on the claims if they vote against the plan, JPMorgan
said in a Feb. 26 court filing.

Last week, creditors who proposed the plan for MF Global asked
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn to postpone consideration of
the motion until after the conclusion of the April 5 hearing on
the confirmation of the plan.

As reported on Feb. 15 by the Troubled Company Reporter, JPMorgan
is asking for approval to prosecute MF Global Finance's claim in a
bid to knock out a $928 million claim against the finance unit.
If the claim falls, the distribution to JPMorgan and other
creditors of the finance unit would significantly increase.

Meanwhile, the trustee for MF Global said he may withdraw his
consent previously communicated to JPMorgan for standing to pursue
the claims "if facts come to light that such prior consent was
granted improvidently."

                         About MF Global

New York-based MF Global (NYSE: MF) -- http://www.mfglobal.com/--

voluntary Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 11-15059
and 11-5058) on Oct. 31, 2011, after a planned sale to Interactive
Brokers Group collapsed.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, MF Global had
$41,046,594,000 in total assets and $39,683,915,000 in total
liabilities.  It is easily the largest bankruptcy filing so far
this year.

Judge Honorable Martin Glenn presides over the Chapter 11 case.

on Nov. 3 last year, according to Bloomberg News.


MIPL HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating to 1st-Lien Term Loan B
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'BB'
senior secured debt rating to U.K.-based asset manager MIPL
Holdings Limited's proposed new first-lien term loan B due 2020.
The issuer credit rating on MIPL is 'BB'.

Proceeds from the proposed issuance will be used to repay the
$222 million remaining under the existing first-lien term loan due
2018.  Any additional proceeds will be used for seed capital and
for distributions, predominantly to retired partners to extinguish
their interests, but also to employee funders of the 2004
management buyout (MBO).  The proposed transaction would extend
the final maturity of MIPL's term loan by two years to 2020 and
reduce the interest rate, which will improve the company's cash
flows.  While the proposed first-lien term loan would increase
total debt outstanding from current levels, key credit metrics are
still within S&P's expectations.  S&P's 'BB' issuer credit rating
reflects its opinion that the company's moderate debt leverage and
negative tangible equity (typical of a company that has undergone
an MBO) more than offset its favorable business profile.

MSR RESORT: Five Mile Appeals Plan Confirmation Order
-----------------------------------------------------
Five Mile Capital Partners LLC has taken an appeal from the order
dated Feb. 22, 2013, confirming the Second Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization of MSR Resort Golf Course LLC, et al.

MSR Resort's bankruptcy exit plan was confirmed by U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Sean Lane in Manhattan, who overruled objections by the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service and investor Five Mile, according to
Christie Smythe, writing for Bloomberg News.

Under the Debtors' revised second amended joint plan of
reorganization, on the Effective Date, the Debtors will be
authorized to consummate the sale of their remaining hotel
portfolio, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other
encumbrances pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement and the
Confirmation Order.

Bloomberg reported that the Government of Singapore Investment
Corp., the world's eighth-largest sovereign wealth fund, according
to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, is set to buy four of
MSR's resorts for $1.5 billion.

The Singapore fund has created entities to buy the Debtors'
hotels:

   -- Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Ariz.

      * ABR Property LLC will purchase substantially all of
        the assets of the Arizona Biltmore;

   -- Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa in Maui, Hawaii

      * GWR Wailea Property LLC willpurchase substantially all
        of the assets of the Grand Wailea;

   -- La Quinta Resort and Club PGA West in La Quinta, Calif:

      * LQR Property LLC, will purchase substantially all of the
        resort assets of the La Quinta;

      * LQR La Quinta, Inc., will certain of the assets of MSR
        Resort REP, LLC

      * LQR Golf LLC, will purchase substantially all of the
        golf course assets of the La Quinta;

   -- Claremont Resort and Spa in Berkeley, Cal.

      * TCR Property LLC will purchase substantially all of
        the assets of the Claremont; and

   -- Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, Florida

      * GWC Miami Property LLC, will purchase substantially all
        of the remaining assets of the Doral, including the
        White Course.

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

According to the Bloomberg report, the exit plan provides for
repayment of 96% of secured debt and 100% of general unsecured
debt, according to a Jan. 31 court filing by MSR.  Five Mile stood
to lose about $58 million, including investments by pension funds
and other parties, David Friedman, Esq., a lawyer for Five Mile,
said during the plan hearing.

Bloomberg recounts the resorts sought approval in August for an
auction with GIC as the lead bidder.  The auction was canceled
after no competing bids were received, according to a court filing
in December.

On the Plan Effective Date, the $1 million in Doral Segregated
Funds, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, will be released
to the Estates and be used to make distributions to Holders of
Allowed Class 7 General Unsecured Claims against Non-Tenant
Debtors and Allowed Class 12 General Unsecured Claims against
Tenant Debtors.  In addition, the Utility Deposits, in accordance
with the Purchase Agreement, will be released to the Estates and
be used to fund distributions under the Plan.

After the Effective Date, a liquidator will implement any other
provision of the Plan and any applicable orders of the Bankruptcy
Court, and the Liquidator will have the power and authority to
take any action necessary to wind down and dissolve the Debtors.
After the Effective Date, the Debtors other than the La Quinta
Brokerage Debtor will remain in existence for the sole purpose of
dissolving.  On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust will be
formed to implement the Wind Down for the primary purpose of
liquidating the Liquidating Trust's assets and Winding Down the
Debtors' Estates.

The classification and treatment of claims under the plan are:

     A. Class 1 - Other Priority Claims will receive payment in
        full in Cash.

     B. Class 2 - Other Secured Claims will receive either (i)
        payment in full in Cash; (ii) delivery of collateral
        securing any such Claim and payment of any interest; (iii)
        reinstatement of such Claim; or (iv) other treatment
        rendering such Claim Unimpaired.

     C. Class 3 - Mortgage Loan Claims against Mortgage Debtors

Jamie Santo of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that the federal

misrepresenting the finance structure of the now-defunct firm.

The report related that a federal grand jury in Connecticut
charged New Stream managing partners and co-owners David A. Bryson

In its audit report on the Company's 2011 financial statements,
Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., in Clearwater, Florida, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has incurred recurring operating losses, negative operating cash
flows and has an accumulated deficit.

The Company reported a net loss of $7.67 million in 2011, compared
with a net loss of $7.80 million in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $12.58
million in total assets, $1.75 million in total liabilities, all
current, and $10.83 million in total shareholders' equity.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in its annual report for the year ended Dec. 31,
2011, that its loan agreement with the Koski Family Limited
Partnership matures in three years and select material assets of
the Company relating to or connected with its ProBiora3, SMaRT
Replacement Therapy, MU1140 and LPT3-04 technologies have been
pledged as collateral to secure the Company's borrowings under the
Loan Agreement.  This secured indebtedness could impede the
Company from raising the additional equity or debt capital the
Company needs to continue its operations even though the amount
borrowed under the Loan Agreement automatically converts into
equity upon a qualified equity financing of at least $5 million.
The Company's ability to repay the loan will depend largely upon
the Company's future operating performance and the Company cannot
assure that its business will generate sufficient cash flow or
that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital
necessary to repay the loan.  If the Company is unable to generate
sufficient cash flow or are otherwise unable to raise the funds
necessary to repay the loan when it becomes due, the KFLP could
institute foreclosure proceedings against the Company's material
intellectual property assets and the Company could be forced into
bankruptcy or liquidation.

PATRIOT COAL: To End 401(k) Retirement Plan Effective March 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Patriot Coal Corporation, et al., ask the Bankruptcy Court for
authorization to terminate the Patriot Coal Corporation
Supplemental 401(k) Retirement Plan effective as of March 31,
2013, and to terminate the related Service Agreement, under which
The Vanguard Group, Inc., provides certain recordkeeping and
accounting services to the Plan.

According to papers filed with the Court, the termination of the
Plan will result in (i) $2.5 million in respect of prepetition
compensation deferrals being treated as prepetition claims against
the applicable Plan Debtor's estate, rather than being paid in
cash, and (ii) the payment to the Participants of $295,000 in
postpetition administrative expense claims accrued since the
Petition Date by the applicable Plan Debtor.

About 47 current and former employees of the Plan Debtors
currently have amounts deferred under the Plan.  The aggregate
balance of the Participant's accounts as of Feb. 12, 2013, totals
$2.80 million, approximately $2.5 million of which reflects
contributions (including gains or losses thereon) for the
prepetition period, and the remainder of which reflects
contributions (including gains or losses thereon) for the
postpetition period that constitute administrative claims.  The
Plan is unfunded, meaning that neither Patriot nor any of the Plan
Debtors have segregated or escrowed any funds to cover the
liabilities associated with the Plan.

On Dec. 28, 2012, Patriot amended the Plan.  That amendment
precluded any compensation deferrals (or matches) for 2013 or any
period thereafter.

The Court scheduled a March 10, 2013 hearing on the matter.

PINNACLE AIRLINES: Suit to Delay Unsecured Creditors' Payout
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Pinnacle Airlines Corp. told the court that unsecured
creditors may have a long wait before they receive any part of the
$2.25 million carved out for their claims under the Chapter 11
reorganization plan tentatively scheduled for approval at an
April 17 confirmation hearing.

According to the report, the bankruptcy court has a March 7
hearing for approval of disclosure materials explaining how
Pinnacle will emerge from bankruptcy as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Delta Air Lines Inc.  The disclosure statement tells unsecured
creditors they will recover less than one percent on claims
totaling as much as $690 million.

The report notes that the recovery could be reduced even more
depending on the outcome of claims arising from the crash of
Colgan Air Inc. flight 3407 which went down during in an ice storm
near Clarence Center, New York on Feb. 12, 2009.  Families of
victims filed claims for $900 million and say they are entitled to
punitive damages.

The plaintiffs so far have refused to accept Pinnacle's offer
allowing the suits to go forward in return for agreement to
collect only from insurance policies.  Otherwise, Pinnacle says
the plaintiffs can proceed with their suits after the Chapter 11
is finished, a delay of only a few more months, the company says.

Unless the bankruptcy judge decides it's correct for the Pinnacle
plan to allow payment on punitive damage claims only after
unsecured creditors are paid, Pinnacle says it will be required to
withhold payment on all unsecured claims until there is resolution
to the crash victims' lawsuits.

A hearing was slated in bankruptcy court Feb. 27 where the crash
victims were to ask the judge for authority to proceed with the
lawsuits seeking punitive damages.

As reported in the TCR on Oct. 22, 2012, Michael F. Cronin CPA
expressed substantial doubt about Plandai's ability to continue as
a going concern in his report on the Company's June 30, 2012,
financial statements.  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.


PLC SYSTEMS: Raises $4 Million in Equity Financing
--------------------------------------------------
PLC Systems Inc. has raised $4,040,000 in gross proceeds through
the sale of 26,933,333 shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents at a price of $0.15 per share and five-year warrants
to purchase 26,933,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $0.20 per share.  PLC Systems plans to use the proceeds from
this financing to fund ongoing U.S. pivotal trials with
RenalGuard(R) to prevent or reduce the onset of contrast-induced
nephropathy (CIN) during imaging procedures, for investor and
public relations, and for general corporate purposes.

GCP IV, LLC, the holder of $5.25 million in term notes issued by
the Company between February 2011 and January 2013, has extended
the maturity date of the first $4.0 million loan issued in
February 2011 from February 2014 to June 30, 2015.  The remaining
$1.25 million in notes issued to GCP in 2012 and 2013 retain their
original maturity dates of July 2, 2015, and Jan. 17, 2016,
respectively.  As part of these prior debt financings, the Company
issued GCP warrants to purchase 62,500,000 shares of common stock.
Warrants to purchase 50,000,000 shares of common stock have now
been re-priced to $0.098 per share, the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of these warrants has been increased to 81,578,496,
and the VWAP price of these warrants has been fixed at $0.155 per
share.  GCP has forfeited the remaining 12,500,000 warrants
previously issued in 2012 and 2013.

Palladium Capital Advisors LLC served as the exclusive placement
agent for the offering.

"CIN is a serious and sometimes deadly problem for patients
undergoing certain imaging procedures, particularly for those with
compromised kidneys, typically elderly and diabetic patients,"
said Mark R. Tauscher, president and chief executive officer of
PLC Systems.  "These new funds will allow us to continue our
pivotal trial with RenalGuard(R) and to hopefully accelerate
patient enrollment into the study, along with providing us with
additional working capital and funds to expand awareness of our
efforts among potential investors."

Additional terms of this offering (including the full terms and
conditions of the securities purchase agreement and warrants) was
filed with the SEC, a copy is available at http://is.gd/lMEC9l

procedures.

Following the 2011 financial results, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, in
Boston, Massachusetts, expressed substantial doubt about PLC
Systems' ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has sustained recurring net losses
and negative cash flows from continuing operations.

The Company reported a net loss of $5.76 million for 2011,
compared with a net loss of $505,000 for 2010.

POINT CENTER: PMB Consents, MA Creditors Oppose, Use of Cash
------------------------------------------------------------
Point Center Financial Inc. is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy with an
agreement with the major secured lender for use of cash.  The
Debtor is, however, facing opposition from creditors who obtained
a $2 million judgment in state court.

Founded in 1979, Point Center is in the business of brokering
loans funded by private party lenders and earning broker's fees
from borrowers and loan servicing fees from the lenders.

According to the Debtor, Pacific Mercantile Bank, owed $9.215
million for secured loans provided to the Debtor, has made the
reasoned determination that its best chance of being made whole is
by refraining from exercising its default remedies with the
expectation that, with a slowly rebounding economy, the Debtor
will be able to work its way back to its pre-recession financial
condition and again be in a position to fully satisfy its
obligations to PMB.

"Any chance for a recovery to unsecured creditors requires Debtor
to stay in business and reorganize," Point Center said in court
filings.

PMB has signed a stipulation that allows the Debtor use cash
collateral to fund ongoing costs until May 31, 2013.  According to
the stipulation, which requires approval from the bankruptcy
judge, the Debtor will pay PMB $60,100 on the 10th of each month
as adequate protection for PMB's interest in the cash collateral.

The Debtor also seeks permission to pay all prepetition wage-
related obligations, including approximately $62,500 for the
Feb. 28 payroll and to provide two months' deposit to utility
providers.

The Debtor also asks the Court to extend from March 5 to March 25
its deadline to file schedules of assets and liabilities.

                    Brewer, et al., Objections

The Debtor discloses that the Chapter 11 filing was prompted by
the appointment of a state court receiver by certain disputed
judgment creditors in the San Diego Superior Court.

Creditors Brewer Corporation, Brady Company/San Diego, Inc.,
Dynalectric Company and Division 8, Inc., sued the Debtor for
unpaid services for the Mi Arbolito condo construction project
in San Diego.  The MA Creditors obtained a judgment in excess of
$2 million against the Debtor and obtained appointment of Richard
Kipperman, as state court receiver.  The Debtor has timely
appealed the judgment and filed its opening brief and is confident
of reversal.

While the Debtor has obtained the support of PMB, the MA Creditors
have provided a notice of non-consent to the use of cash
collateral.

The MA Creditors assert liens on all personal property of the
Debtor on account of a judgment from the San Diego Superior Court.
Because the Debtor has not proposed providing adequate protection
of their interests, they do not consent to any use of their cash
collateral.

The MA Creditors also oppose the Debtor's stipulation with PMB.

The MA Creditors aver that contrary to claims in the stipulation,
the Debtor's sole shareholder, Dan Harkey -- not the Debtor -- is
the borrower on the two separate $5 million loans.  They contend
that making the Debtor liable on the Harkey personal loans is not
in the best interests of creditors or of the estate.

The MA Creditors also dispute PMB's alleged senior security
interest.  The Debtor and PMB brought a motion for a judicial
determination of PMB's senior security interest before the San
Diego Superior Court.  On the day prior to the scheduled hearing
for a judicial determination of PMB's alleged senior security
interest, the moving party took the hearing off calendar.

The MA Creditors ask the Court to deny the cash collateral
stipulation with PMB.

                        About Point Center

Point Center Financial, Inc., a hard money lender, filed a Chapter
11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 13-11495) in Santa Ana,
California, on Feb. 19, 2013.  The Debtor estimated assets in
excess of $10 million and liabilities in excess of $50 million.
The formal schedules of assets and liabilities and the statement
of financial affairs are due March 5, 2013.

The Company claims to have a long track record of success in
originating and servicing loans from hundreds of investors.
Unfortunately, due to the historic collapse of the economy
beginning in about 2007, the Debtor, no different than many other
similar enterprises in real estate, has fallen on hard times.

From a high of about 130 performing loans with a total combined
face value of over $450 million in 2006, only 8 loans are now
performing.  There were a total of only four foreclosed properties
("REOs") as of 2006.  In comparison, between 2007 and 2012, there
were 60 foreclosure sales.

The result left the Debtor saddled with large secured liabilities
to PMB, which has a blanket lien on all of the Debtor's assets in
excess of $9 million, secured by the Debtor's primary asset of
loan servicing and management fees received from secured loans and
properties that have been taken back through foreclosure.

PROVIDENCE, RI: Claims Xerox Unit Underestimated Pension Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Scott Malone, writing for Reuters, reported that the city of
Providence, Rhode Island, on Tuesday sued a unit of Xerox Corp,
saying it had underestimated by about $10 million how much the
city would save when it renegotiated its pension benefits last
year.

The Reuters report related that Providence charged in court papers
that as it negotiated the terms of changes to its pension benefits
with workers and retirees in 2012, the Buck Consultants arm of
Xerox failed to account for a cost-of-living adjustment paid to
retirees during the negotiations.  The error will cost the capital
of the smallest U.S. state, which narrowly avoided bankruptcy last
year in part due to Mayor Angel Taveras' deal to cut its pension
obligations, some $10 million over 28 years, according to the
Reuters report.

Providence faced about $900 million in unfunded pension
obligations when it entered the negotiations and had expected to
cut that liability by about $165 million through the pension deal,
Reuters said, citing papers the city filed in U.S. District Court
in Providence.


PT BERLIAN: Required to File Court Papers Publicly
--------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart Bernstein ruled at a
hearing Feb. 26 that PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk won't be permitted
to proceed in U.S. bankruptcies while keeping all papers sealed
and withheld from the public.

The report recounts that Gramercy Distressed Opportunity Fund II
along with two sister funds filed an involuntary Chapter 11
petition against the PT Berlian parent in December.  The company
responded by asking Bernstein to dismiss the involuntary case.  PT
Berlian filed all the dismissal papers under seal because the
Indonesian court, where the company is also in bankruptcy,
requires everything be sealed.  Bloomberg News and the Gramercy
funds objected to sealing.

According to the report, Bloomberg's lawyer Thomas Golden said
Judge Bernstein agreed and told PT Berlian to refile all the
papers publicly within two weeks.  Golden is with Willkie Farr &
Gallagher LLP, which represents Bloomberg LP in corporate matters.

Judge Bernstein gave PT Berlian the ability to keep some financial
information secret.  Judge Bernstein said PT Berlian would be
"hard pressed" to convince him that documents warranted sealing.

PT Berlian told Judge Bernstein that creditors will vote March 8
in Indonesia on the company's reorganization plan.  If the
creditors or the judge veto the plan, the company will be
liquidated.  Mr. Golden described Judge Bernstein as saying he
wanted to hold U.S. proceedings in abeyance until the direction of
the Indonesian case becomes clear.

Mr. Golden said that Judge Bernstein questioned whether it was a
"proper purpose" for the Gramercy funds to file the involuntary
bankruptcy as a tool for trying to obtain information not
available through the Indonesian proceedings.

                         About PT Berlian

Creditors of PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk filed an involuntary
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court against

on Dec. 13, 2012.

The petition was filed by Gramercy Distressed Opportunity Fund II,
Gramercy Distressed Opportunity Fund, and Gramercy Emerging

are allegedly owed $125.5 million.

PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk is the largest Indonesian shipping
company, focusing on liquid bulk cargo, with operations primarily
in Asia with some expansion into the Middle East and Europe.

Indonesia-based PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk filed Chapter 15
bankruptcy petitions in New York for subsidiaries (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-11007) on March 14, 2012, to prevent
creditors from seizing the company's vessels when they call on
U.S. ports.  Cosimo Borrelli, appointed vice president for
restructuring for PT Berlian, signed the Chapter 15 petitions for
Chembulk New York Pte Ltd and 12 other entities.

The Berlian group operates 72 vessels, of which 50 are owned.

In January 2012, the Berlian Group violated covenants under a
$685 million loan agreement.  Creditors took steps to arrest
certain vessels operated by companies in the Berlian Group.

In order to prevent ship arrests and other collection efforts,
the Berlian Group initiated proceedings in the High Court of the
Republic of Singapore on March 12, 2012.  The Singapore court
entered orders prohibiting for three months any arrest of vessels
or collection effort.

The Berlian Group filed the Chapter 15 petitions to obtain entry
of an order enjoining creditors from seizing vessels that are at
port in the United States.  The Debtors do not have assets in the
U.S. other than the transitory basis vessels that are in the U.S.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Judge in April 2012 ruled that Indonesia is
the home to the so-called foreign main proceeding.


QUIGLEY CO: To Make Another Bid for Plan Confirmation in June
-------------------------------------------------------------
Maria Chutchian of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that Pfizer Inc. unit
Quigley Co. Inc. on Tuesday set a June 26, 2013 confirmation
hearing for its fifth amended Chapter 11 reorganization plan,
almost nine years after the pharmaceutical giant entered
bankruptcy.

The report related that the June hearing date marks Quigley's
first bid for confirmation since U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart M.
Bernstein denied its fourth amended plan in September 2010 after
finding that the company manipulated creditor votes and engineered
the case for its own benefit.

                         About Quigley Co.

Quigley Co. was acquired by Pfizer in 1968 and sold small amounts
of products containing asbestos until the early 1970s.  In
September 2004, Pfizer and Quigley took steps that were intended
to resolve all pending and future claims against the Company and
Quigley in which the claimants allege personal injury from
exposure to Quigley products containing asbestos, silica or mixed
dust. Quigley filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and has a Chapter 11
plan and a settlement with Chrysler.

Quigley filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 04-15739) on Sept. 3, 2004, to implement a
proposed global resolution of all pending and future asbestos-
related personal injury liabilities.

Lawrence V. Gelber, Esq., and Michael L. Cook, Esq., at Schulte
Roth & Zabel LLP, represent the Debtor in its restructuring
efforts.  Elihu Inselbuch Esq., at Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered,
represents the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  When
the Debtor filed for protection from its creditors, it disclosed
$155,187,000 in total assets and $141,933,000 in total debts.

In April 2011, the bankruptcy judge approved a plan-support
agreement with Pfizer and an ad hoc committee representing 30,000
asbestos claimants.

A May 20, 2011 opinion by District Judge Richard Holwell concluded
that Pfizer was directly liable for some asbestos claims arising
from products sold by its now non-operating subsidiary Quigley.


RADIOSHACK CORP: Swings to $139.4 Million Net Loss in 2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Radioshack Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$139.4 million on $4.25 billion of net sales and operating
revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with net
income of $72.2 million on $4.37 billion of net sales and
operating revenues during the prior year.

For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a
net loss of $63.3 million on $1.29 billion of net sales and
operating revenues, as compared with net income of $11.9 million
on $1.38 billion of net sales and operating revenues for the same
period a year ago.

Radioshack's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $2.29 billion
in total assets, $1.70 billion in total liabilities and $598.7
million in total stockholders' equity.

Dorvin D. Lively, executive vice president, chief financial
officer and chief administrative officer of RadioShack Corp.,
said, "Overall, the fourth quarter continued to be impacted by
challenges similar to those of the first three quarters of the
year.  The most significant contributing factor to the decline in
our performance was the postpaid wireless business which saw a
decline in transaction volume across the year, combined with a
lower margin rate.  However, I am pleased with the progress we
have made in improving other aspects of our business. The gross
margin rate for all of our business, excluding mobility, was flat
with 2011 with significant improvement in our consumer electronics
business.  We have improved and strengthened our high-margin
signature platform, which generated sales growth in each quarter
of 2012.  Additionally, our no-contract phone and tablet
businesses generated sales and gross profit improvement."

A copy of the Form 10-K is available for free at:

                   3MM Common Shares Registered

Radioshack filed with the SEC a Form S-8 registration statement
to register 3 million shares of common stock issuable under the
Company's Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement
for a proposed maximum offering price of $9.31 million.  A copy of
the prospectus is available at http://is.gd/cmHGP2

                          About Radioshack

RadioShack sells consumer electronics and peripherals, including
cellular phones.  It operates roughly 4,700 stores in the U.S. and
Mexico.  It also operates about 1,500 wireless phone kiosks in
Target stores.  The company also generates sales through a network
of 1,100 dealer outlets worldwide.  Revenues for the last 12
months' period ending June 30, 2012, were roughly $4.4 billion.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 23, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit and senior unsecured debt
ratings on Fort Worth, Texas-based RadioShack Corp. to 'CCC+' from
'B-'. The outlook is negative.

"The downgrade of RadioShack reflects our view that it will be
very difficult for the company to improve its gross margin in the
fourth quarter of this year, given the highly promotional nature
of year-end holiday retailing in the wireless and consumer
electronic categories," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Jayne Ross.

In the July 27, 2012, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded its long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for
RadioShack Corporation to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  The downgrade reflects
the significant decline in RadioShack's profitability, which has
become progressively more pronounced over the past four quarters.


RADIOSHACK CORP: Expects EBITDA to Turn Negative in 2013
--------------------------------------------------------
RadioShack reported on Tuesday, February 26, its 4Q12 results,
which remained under significant pressure, with declines in
comparable store sales accelerating to negative 7%. For 2012,
comps declined 3.5% and EBITDA came in at $48 million (excluding
noncash stock-based compensation), which was less than Fitch
Ratings' $50 million-$60 million expectation and a sharp
contraction from $284 million in 2011 and $444 million in 2010.
"We expect EBITDA could turn negative in 2013, with no apparent
catalyst to stabilize or improve operations," Fitch says.

RadioShack's push into the lower margin mobile business (which
today represents 53% of sales versus 30% in 2007) has caused
significant gross margin pressure over the past few years. While
overall gross margin declined almost 480 basis points in 2012 to
36.7% (following gross margin declines over the past five years
from a level of 47.5% in 2007), gross margin excluding mobility
for the year was relatively flat. This would indicate that gross
margin in the mobility business declined close to 900 basis points
in 2012 to an estimated level of 19%-20%.

Of RadioShack's three key product platforms, mobile has been more
sluggish than anticipated. Consumer electronics (CE) is in a
double-digit decline and, while its high margin signature business
appeared to have stabilized in 2012, we do not expect more than
modest gains going forward.

The company's mobile segment (53% of 2012 consolidated sales) is
being driven by lower margin smartphones (predominantly iPhone
sales as well as Android-based smartphones), which push segment
margins lower in a business that already carries relatively low
margins. As disclosed in RadioShack's 10-K, the most significant
contributing factor to the decline in consolidated gross profit
dollars and margins was the postpaid wireless business that saw a
decline in both transaction volume across the year and a lower
margin rate. We expect transaction volumes to remain under
pressure going forward.

Sales in the CE segment (15.5% of sales) declined another 20% in
2012. The segment plays in an intensely competitive environment
where consumers are very price sensitive and continue to shift
their purchases online. Additionally, RadioShack's smaller
footprint does not allow it to carry the breadth of products that
would make it competitive versus other brick-and-mortar and online
channels. As a result, this segment is expected to remain under
significant pressure.

Sales in its high margin signature segment (31% of sales) -- which
includes accessories, including mobile-related products such as
headphones, and power and technical products -- increased 2.2% to
$1.3 billion in 2012, after being on a decline since 2008 (segment
accounted for 47% of sales in 2007). Gross margins in this segment
are estimated at 65%-70%, making it a significant driver to
consolidated earnings. "However, we do not expect more than modest
gains for this business going forward," Fitch notes.

"Effective April 8, 2013, RadioShack is terminating the Target
Mobile centers joint venture with Target Corp. (Target). We view
this as a positive, as the discontinuance will eliminate a drag on
profitability, evidenced by $37.5 million in operating losses in
this venture in 2012," Fitch says.

"Still, we expect EBITDA could turn negative in 2013. RadioShack
has adequate liquidity, with $536 million in cash (excluding
restricted cash) and $393 million available on its secured credit
facility at year end. However, we note increasingly negative free
cash flow and required debt repayments (including the remaining
$287 million of 2.5% convertible notes due August 2013) will
materially reduce its financial flexibility. Fixed obligations for
2013 are estimated at $115 million-$140 million with interest
expense of $45 million-$50 million and capital expenditures in the
$70 million-$90 million range. With projected negative EBITDA,
these expenditures will have to be financed with existing cash or
new borrowings.

Fitch issued a full rating report on RadioShack published on
Jan. 18, 2013 with an in-depth analysis.


REALOGY HOLDINGS: Incurs $543 Million Net Loss in 2012
------------------------------------------------------
Realogy Holdings Corp. and Realogy Group LLC reported a net loss
attributable to the Companies of $543 million on $4.67 billion of
net revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

Realogy Holdings and Realogy Group incurred a net loss of
$441 million on $4.09 billion of net revenues in 2011, following a
net loss of $99 million on $4.09 billion of net revenues for 2010.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets at Dec. 31, 2012, showed
$7.44 billion in total assets, $5.92 billion in total liabilities
and $1.51 billion in total equity.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our debt
obligations depends on our financial and operating performance,
which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions
and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our
control.  We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of
cash flows from operating activities and from drawings on our
revolving credit facilities sufficient to permit us to pay the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness or
meet our operating expenses.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund
our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay
capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional
debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our
indebtedness.  We cannot assure you that we would be able to take
any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and
permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or that
these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing
or future debt agreements.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in
default and, as a result:

   * our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and
     interest to be due and payable;

   * the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could
     terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose
     against the assets securing their borrowings; and

   * we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.'

In the Dec. 12, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors
Service upgraded Realogy Group LLC's Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings to B3.  The B3 Corporate Family
rating (CFR) incorporates Moody's view that Realogy's capital
structure has made meaningful progress towards being stabilized
following the issuance of primary equity, and is therefore more
sustainable although still highly leveraged.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 18, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Realogy Corp. to
'B+' from 'B'.

"The one notch upgrade in the corporate credit rating to 'B+'
reflects an increase in our expectation for operating performance
at Realogy in 2013, and S&P's expectation that total lease
adjusted debt to EBITDA will improve to the low-6x area and funds
from operations (FFO) to total adjusted debt will be improve to
the high-single-digits percentage area in 2013, mostly due to
EBITDA growth in the low- to mid-teens percentage area in 2013,"
S&P said.


RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Agrees to End $750MM Settlement With Ally
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Residential Capital LLC agreed to terminate the
pre-bankruptcy agreement where non-bankrupt parent Ally Financial
Inc. would have paid $750 million in return for broad releases of
claims from ResCap and third parties.

The report notes the agreement had been a bone of contention since
the Chapter 11 reorganization began in May.  The indenture trustee
for senior unsecured noteholders said in a court filing Feb. 26
that $750 million was "far too small" for the claims being
released.  The official unsecured creditors committee's court
filing called the payment no basis for a consensual reorganization
plan.

The report relates that the committee, the indenture trustee and
ResCap negotiated an interim agreement in the context of ResCap's
request for an expansion of the exclusive right to file a Chapter
11 plan.  The agreement requires ResCap's consent to a request by
the committee for permission to sue Ally.  The committee, however,
can't file a suit until after April 30, when ResCap's exclusive
plan-filing rights will end.

Ally, the report discloses, also agreed it won't file a non-
consensual plan between now and April 30.  Ally agreed to a 45-day
postponement of a hearing for approval of a $8.7 billion
settlement of claims for selling substandard mortgages into 392
securitization trusts from 2004 to 2007.

Ally agreed that Lewis Kruger, who was tapped to serve as chief
restructuring officer, will be given duties and powers equal to
those of a chief executive.

With regard to plan discussions, the indenture trustee, Wilmington
Trust NA, said that mediation is "stalled."

The hearing that would have been held Feb. 28 for extending plan-
filing rights has been pushed back to March 5.

Ally said in an e-mailed statement that termination of the pre-
bankruptcy agreement is "unfortunate."  If sued, Ally said it's
"highly confident of its position."

                     About Residential Capital

Ally Financial Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-12020) on May 14, 2012.

Neither Ally Financial nor Ally Bank is included in the bankruptcy
filings.

ResCap, one of the country's largest mortgage originators and
servicers, was sent to Chapter 11 with 50 subsidiaries amid
"continuing industry challenges, rising litigation costs and
claims, and regulatory uncertainty," according to a company
statement.

liabilities as of March 31, 2012.

its mortgage servicing and origination platform assets to Ocwen
Loan Servicing, LLC and Walter Investment Management Corporation
for $3 billion; and its portfolio of roughly 50,000 whole loans to
Berkshire Hathaway for $1.5 billion.  The sale of the assets,
subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions including
certain third party consents, is expected to close in the first
quarter of 2013.

The partnership of Ocwen and Walter defeated the last bid of $2.91
billion from Fortress Investment Group's Nationstar Mortgage
Holdings Inc., which acted as stalking horse bidder, at an auction
that began Oct. 23, 2012.  The $1.5 billion offer from Warren
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. was declared the winning bid for
a portfolio of loans at the auction on Oct. 25.

RG STEEL: Court Approves Deal Resolving Fritz Objection
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved an
agreement resolving Fritz Enterprises Inc.'s objection to the sale
of RG Steel's assets in Sparrows Point, Maryland.

Under the deal, Fritz agreed to enter into a new lease with

agreed to sign a contract with HRE Sparrows Point LLC, which gives
the company the right to enter, leave and return to certain areas
of the Maryland site.  A copy of the agreement is available for
free at http://is.gd/gK8m61

As reported on Sept. 24, 2012 by the TCR, Judge Kevin Carey
authorized RG Steel to sell its Sparrows Point's assets pursuant
to an asset purchase agreement dated Aug. 7, 2012.  The Sept. 24
order includes a language preserving Fritz's objection to the
sale.  The objection includes, among other things, Fritz's
assertion of holdover tenancy rights to certain areas of the
Maryland site.

RG STEEL: SNA Carbon Opposes Sale of Assets to Bounty Minerals
--------------------------------------------------------------
SNA Carbon, LLC is blocking efforts by RG Steel Wheeling LLC to
win court approval to sell its assets to Bounty Minerals LLC.

Bounty Minerals offered to buy for $3.3 million RG Steel's right,
title and interest in and to 822.908 net mineral acres in West
Virginia.

SNA Carbon expressed concern the sale might jeopardize the
operations of Mountain State Carbon LLC, a 50-50 joint venture of
the company and RG Steel that produces metallurgical coke used in
manufacturing steel.

SNA Carbon said it is unable to confirm if the assets are related
to MSC's operations since RG Steel did not provide legal

SALON MEDIA: Incurs $806,000 Net Loss in Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------------
Salon Media Group, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $806,000 on $1.03 million of net revenues for the
three months ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a net loss of
$997,000 on $943,000 of net revenue for the same period during the
prior year.

For the nine months ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a
net loss of $2.99 million on $2.72 million of net revenue, as
compared with a net loss of $2.54 million on $2.71 million of net
revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $1.39 million
in total assets, $17.03 million in total liabilities and a $15.64
million total stockholders' deficit.

"Being among the fastest-growing news sites in terms of audience
growth for 2012 will put us in a strong position to monetize this

                         About Salon Media

San Francisco, Calif.-based Salon Media Group (OTC BB: SLNM.OB)
-- http://www.Salon.com/-- is an online news and social
networking company and an Internet publishing pioneer.

The Company reported a net loss of $4.09 million for the
year ended March 31, 2012, a net loss of $2.58 million for fiscal
2011, and a net loss of $4.86 million for fiscal year 2010.

Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc., in San Francisco, California, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered recurring
losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an
accumulated deficit of $112.5 million at March 31, 2012, which
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.


SBMC HEALTHCARE: Hires Locke Lord for Centurion Litigation
----------------------------------------------------------
SBMC Healthcare, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy Court for permission to
employ Locke Lord LLP as special bankruptcy counsel, nunc pro tunc
to Dec. 23, 2012.

The Debtor desires to employ Locke Lord LLP on an hourly fee basis
to represent McVey & Co. Investments, LLC (Manager of SBMC), Marty

as local counsel, special bankruptcy counsel, in litigation filed
by Centurion Service Group LLC currently pending before the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern
Division as case no. 12-cv-09318.

John F. Kloecker, a partner at Locke Lord, will be designated as
attorney-in-charge.  He will work with, but will not duplicate the
services of, Johnson DeLuca Kurisky & Gould P.C.

Mr. Kloecker will charge the Debtor at a rate of $550 per hour.
An associate, Kevin A. Wisniewski, will charge $365 per hour.

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

                       About SBMC Healthcare

Houston, Texas-based SBMC Healthcare, LLC, is 100% owned by McVey
& Co. Investments LLC.  It filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
S.D. Tex. Case No. 12-33299) on April 30, 2012.  The petition was
signed by the president of McVey & Co. Investments LLC, sole
manager.  The Debtor disclosed $40,149,593 in assets and
$13,108,268 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.  Marilee
A. Madan, P.C., in Houston, Tex., is the Debtor's general
bankruptcy counsel.  Millard A. Johnson, Esq., and Sara Mya Keith,
Esq., at Johnson DeLuca, Kurisky & Gould, P.C., in Houston, Tex.,
serve as the Debtor's special bankruptcy counsel.  Judge Jeff Bohm
presides over the case.


SBMC HEALTHCARE: Seeks to Expand Johnson DeLuca Work
----------------------------------------------------
SBMC Healthcare LLC filed papers with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
seeking to employ, effective Dec. 10, 2012, the law firm of
Johnson DeLuca Kurisky & Gould, P.C., to represent the manager and
certain officers of SBMC in additional litigation matters.

The firm's representation of SBMC as special bankruptcy counsel
was approved by order dated June 18, 2012.  The Firm has been
representing the Debtor in the Centurion Adversary No. 12-03385
and Luby's Adversary Nos. 12-03321 and 12-03320 (which have been
consolidated) matters that are or were pending before the
Bankruptcy Court.

The Debtor proposes the firm be allowed to render additional
professional services for the parties along with SBMC:

   * representing McVey & Co. Investments, LLC (Manager of SBMC),
     Marty McVey and Richard Garfinkel (both officers of SBMC
     Healthcare, LLC who have asserted claims for indemnity) in
     the federal court action against same and SBMC Healthcare,
     LLC filed by Centurion currently pending before the United
     States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
     Eastern Division as case no. 12-cv-09318, and

   * representing McVey & Co. Investments, LLC against Luby's in
     cause no. 2012-1011-B pending before the 189th Judicial
     District Court of Harris County.

The firm seeks to represent Mr. McVey, Mr. Garfinkel and MCI as
the issues involved in the Centurion and Luby's litigation are
complex and involve the same issues related to the defense of
SBMC, which JDKG is already providing.  It would cost the estate
significantly more money to hire a firm to represent Mr. McVey,
Mr. Garfinkel and MCI as such firm would not possess the same
knowledge of the facts as JDKG does.  Thus, representing the
additional parties will present a savings to the estate as it is
more cost effective as any judgment against such parties will be
asserted against the estate as a claim for indemnity.

The firm has obtained a waiver of conflict from Mr. McVey, Mr.
Garfinkel, and MCI.  Claims involved in the Centurion litigation
involve facts related to Mr. Garfinkel and Mr. McVey's actions as
officers of SBMC and thus there is no conflict.  Further, the
facts relate to the same transaction as the actions pending
against SBMC.

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

The Debtor has negotiated an hourly fee arrangement with the firm.
The firm's professionals will receive payment on an hourly basis
at these rates:

   Professional                      Rates
   ------------                      -----
   Millard A. Johnson, Partner        $400
   Sara M. Keith, Associate           $250

SBMC HEALTHCARE: Beardsley to Prepare Medicare & Medicaid Reports
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SBMC Healthcare, LLC, sought and obtained approval of its amended
application to employ Lawrence J. Beardsley, CPA, Inc., as
accountant to prepare the 2012 annual Medicare and Medicaid cost
reports.

In August 2012, the Debtor obtained approval to employ Lawrence J.
Beardsley as accountant but sought to expand the employment order
to allow Beardsley to provide additional accounting services.

The cost reports are required by the federal government as part of
the participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  The
reports are a specialized form of account which Mr. Beardsley and
his firm have expertise and experience.

Medicare/Medicaid owes SBMC payments for 2011 and 2012 services.
Originally, SBMC was told that it would not receive the payment
until it filed the 2011 cost reports.  The 2011 cost reports have
been filed and accepted but now Medicate/Medicaid is telling SBMC
that it will not pay the approximately $160,000 that it owes to
SBMC until the 2012 reports are filed.

The costs for the additional services are:

   Medical Hospital Cost Report -- $7,500
   Texas Medicaid Hospital Cost Report -- $2,000

SK FOODS: Court Directs Trustee to Submit Claims Report
-------------------------------------------------------
In the case, BRADLEY D. SHARP, Chapter 11 Trustee, Plaintiff, v.
SKPM CORP., et al., Defendants, CIV. No. S-11-2369 LKK (E.D.
Cal.), the District Court for the Eastern District of California
on Feb. 29, 2012, withdrew the reference to the Bankruptcy Court,
of Count One of the adversary complaint, and stayed that claim
pending resolution of the claims remaining in the Bankruptcy
Court.  In a Feb. 21, 2013 Order available at http://is.gd/bJeXlx
from Leagle.com, District Judge Lawrence K. Karlton directed the
Chapter 11 Trustee to promptly notify the District Court when
those remaining claims are resolved in the Bankruptcy Court.

                          About SK Foods

SK Foods LP ran a tomato processing facility.  It filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after being dropped by its
lending group.  Creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 11 petition
against SK Foods LP and affiliate RHM Supply/ Specialty Foods Inc.
(Bankr. E.D. Cal. Case No. 09-29161) on May 8, 2009.  SK Foods
had said it was preparing to file a voluntary Chapter 11 petition
when the creditors initiated the involuntary case.  The Company
later put itself into Chapter 11 and Bradley D. Sharp was
appointed as Chapter 11 trustee.  The Debtors were authorized on
June 26, 2009, to sell the business for $39 million cash to a U.S.
arm of Singapore food processor Olam International Ltd.  The
replacement cost for the assets is $139 million, according to
Olam.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 19, 2010, a
federal grand jury returned a seven-count indictment charging
Frederick Scott Salyer, former owner and CEO of SK Foods, with
violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act, in connection with his direction of various schemes to
defraud SK Foods' corporate customers through bribery and food
misbranding and adulteration, and with wire fraud and obstruction
of justice.

STOCKTON, CA: Right to Muni Bankruptcy Set for March 25 Trial
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Sacramento, California,
will hold a four-day trial beginning March 25 to determine whether
the city of Stockton is eligible for Chapter 9 municipal
bankruptcy.

Mr. Rochelle notes that the right to be in Chapter 9 isn't
automatic like it is for companies reorganizing in Chapter 11.  A
municipality must establish its right to bankruptcy relief.

The report relates that for Stockton to remain in municipal
bankruptcy, the judge must decide if the city is insolvent,
eligible for bankruptcy under state law, and negotiated with
creditors in good faith in advance of bankruptcy.  Some creditors
and bondholders are opposing the right to remain in bankruptcy.

Before the Feb. 26 hearing, Stockton announced an agreement with
one of the bond insurers, Ambac Assurance Corp.

                       About Stockton, Calif.

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

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

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

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


STILLWATER ASSET: Court Denies Dismissal of Involuntary Case
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court denied a motion filed by Stillwater
Asset Backed Offshore Fund Ltd. to dismiss the involuntary Chapter
11 petition filed by Stillwater's creditors.  Instead, the judge
entered an order for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et seq.) against the Debtor effective as
of Jan. 17, 2013

According to the Jan. 31 order, the Debtor is required to make all
filings and comply with its duties and obligations under the
Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure,
including but not limited to the obligation to immediately file a
schedule of the 20 largest creditors, listing their names,
addresses and contact information.

Jack Doueck and Richard I. Rudy are designated as responsible
persons for the Debtor.

Judge Allan Gropper directed the counsel for the Petitioning
Creditors and counsel for the Debtor will promptly schedule a
hearing or conference call with the Court to set a schedule and
hearing date for the motion to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee.

The Debtor is opposing efforts by petitioning creditors to have a
Chapter 11 trustee.  Stillwater says it recently retained the
restructuring and workout services of Marotta Gund Budd & Dzera,
LLC.  Philip Gund, a principal of MGBD, will be appointed as
Stillwater's Chief Restructuring Officer.

Stillwater notes that the appointment of a CRO obviates any
argument regarding the need for a trustee.

Judge Gropper issued a memorandum of decision in connection with
his decision to deny dismissal of the involuntary case.

"There is no question that the Alleged Debtor is not paying its
debts as they mature.  For the purpose of the current motion, the
parties stipulated that the Alleged Debtor is generally not paying
its debts as they come due . . . which is one of the conditions to
relief under an involuntary bankruptcy petition pursuant to Sec.
303 of the Bankruptcy Code. In fact, its financial condition is
far worse.  It has no ongoing business, having transferred its
property to another fund named Gerova.  Its only apparent goal is
to unwind the Gerova Transaction and recover its former assets
from Gerova, a possibility that Gerova's management may have once
contemplated but that is more problematic as a consequence of
Gerova's having been placed in an involuntary liquidation
proceeding in Bermuda.  In any event, even if the Alleged Debtor
is successful in recovering any of its assets from Gerova, its
only goal is to liquidate them for the benefit of Stillwater's
creditors.  A third party, Kinetic Partners, will have duties of
an uncertain nature, but the liquidation will seemingly be carried
out by the Asset Manager, subject to the review of a committee of
creditors," Judge Gropper said in his memorandum of decision.

A copy of the memorandum of decision is available at:

of KPMG Advisory Limited, and John McKenna of Finance and Risk
Service Ltd, Bermuda -- filed the Chapter 15 petition, estimating
up to $100 million in assets and as much as $500 million in
liabilities.  A Chapter 15 petition was also filed for Gerova
Holdings Ltd. (Case No. 12-13642), which is estimated to have
under $100,000 in assets and liabilities.

Hamilton-based Gerova Financial, formerly known as Asia Special
Situations Acquisition Corp., was primarily involved, from 2010
on, in the business of investing in and managing certain types of
illiquid financial assets.  Gerova planned to then use such assets
as regulatory capital for insurance companies, though this
strategy was not fully implemented.

After lengthy proceedings and over the objections of Gerova's
then-current management, on July 20, 2012, the Bermuda Court
entered an order appointing Morrison, et al., as joint provisional
liquidators of GFG.  Morrison, et al., were also appointed
provisional liquidators of GHL on Aug. 20.

Judge Gropper also oversees the Gerova Chapter 15 case.  Peter A.
Ivanick, Esq., and lawyers at Hogan Lovells US LLP represent the
Liquidators as counsel.

THOMPSON CREEK: Incurs $546.3 Million Net Loss in 2012
------------------------------------------------------
Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. reported a net loss of
$546.3 million on $401.4 million of total revenues for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with net income of $292.1 million
on $669.1 million of total revenues during the prior year.

For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a
net loss of $484.4 million on $99.4 million of total revenues, as
compared with net income of $800,000 on $116.7 million of total
revenues for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $3.41 billion
in total assets, $2.01 billion in total liabilities and $1.40
billion in shareholders' equity.

Kevin Loughrey, chairman and chief executive officer of Thompson
Creek, said, "While 2012 had some noteworthy highlights, including
the significant advancement of the Mt. Milligan project and our
achievement of a significant safety milestone at Mt. Milligan, the
year proved to be challenging from both a funding and operational
perspective.  During the year, we raised additional funding to
ensure the completion of the Mt. Milligan project, and took
several strategic steps to address operational challenges at both
of our molybdenum mines.  We recorded a significant fixed asset
write down at our Endako Mine during the fourth quarter, and our
Endako management team is working diligently to address its
operational challenges, which are expected to continue through the
winter months.  As the Mt. Milligan project continues to advance,
we very much look forward to its completion and the commencement
of copper and gold production and our expectation of near-term
increases in revenue, cash flow and net income."

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"A default under the Caterpillar equipment financing facility will
trigger cross defaults to our amended and restated gold stream
agreement with Royal Gold, and vice versa, and could also trigger
cross defaults to the indentures governing our outstanding notes
and other material agreements.  In the event of a default under
the Caterpillar equipment financing facility, Caterpillar could:

   (1) terminate the lease by us of equipment purchased by the
       lender and leased to us pursuant to the facility;

   (2) terminate the lender's obligation to purchase additional
       equipment and lease such equipment to us pursuant to the
       terms of the facility;

   (3) accelerate the payment of all lease payments unpaid under
       the facility, together with default interest;

   (4) accelerate the payment of the balance of the purchase price
       for equipment, which would have been due and payable from
       the date of termination; and

   (5) foreclose on the equipment purchased and leased under the
       facility and apply the proceeds from the sale of such
       equipment to any shortfall in the payment by us of amounts
       due.

In the event of default under our amended and restated gold stream
agreement with Royal Gold, Royal Gold could require us to repay
the amounts Royal Gold has invested in Mt. Milligan, which amounts
totaled $669.6 million as of December 31, 2012.  In the event of a
default under the indentures governing the 2017 Notes, 2018 Notes
and 2019 Notes, the trustee or holders of at least 25% in
principal of the outstanding 2017 Notes, 2018 Notes and 2019
Notes, as applicable, may declare the principal, premium, if any,
and accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be immediately due
and payable.  If we were to default under any of these
arrangements, we may not have sufficient assets to repay such
indebtedness upon a default or have access to sufficient
alternative sources of funds.  If we are unable to repay the
indebtedness, the lenders could foreclose against the assets
securing their borrowings and we could be forced into bankruptcy
or liquidation."

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

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


TRANSMERIDIAN EXPLORATION: Forum Selection Clause Not Mandatory
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals of Texas, Fourteenth District, Houston,
denied a petition for writ of mandamus filed by relators, Dingo
Drilling, Inc. and Mike Husser, Individually and d/b/a Oilfield
Tools.Net.

In the petition, the relators allege that a mandatory forum
selection clause requires a lawsuit on a contract for the sale of
a drilling rig located in Kazakhstan to be litigated in
Kazakhstan.  They ask the Texas appeals court to compel the
Honorable Dan Hinde, presiding judge of the 269th District Court
in Harris County, Texas, to enforce the forum selection clause.

Transmeridian Exploration Inc. negotiated to sell a drilling rig
located in Kazakhstan to the relators.  A purported contract
contained in a Feb. 6, 2009 e-mail is signed by Transmeridian's
representative.  The relators did not sign the contract, and they
dispute that a contract exists.

Transmeridian filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March
2009, and a Trustee was appointed to administer the debtor's
remaining assets, including its claims against the relators.  Gary
Neus, the Liquidating Trustee of the Transmeridian Exploration
Liquidating Trust, sued the relators in 2010 to enforce the
contract.  At issue is a clause contained in communications sent
during negotiations for the sale of the rig. The clause provides:
"In the event of a failure to settle the disputes in [sic] by
negotiation, all disputes and arguments shall be transferred for
settlement to the court authorities of the Republic of
Kazakhstan."

The relators assert that the clause is a mandatory forum selection
clause, and the Transmeridian Trustee is bound by the forum
selection clause because he sued on the contract, citing Texas
Business and Commerce Code section 2.201(a) (stating that an
agreement need only be signed by the party charged in order to be
enforced) and In re Cornerstone Healthcare Holding Group, Inc.,
348 S.W.3d 538, 543-44 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2011, orig. proceeding)
(applying equitable estoppel to grant mandamus relief to non-
signatory to contract seeking enforcement of forum selection
clause).

On Oct. 26, 2012, the trial court denied the relators' motion to
dismiss the Texas suit based on the forum selection clause.  The
trial court denied the relators' motion for reconsideration on
Jan. 4, 2013.  The appeal followed.  In a single issue, the
relators allege that the trial court abused its discretion in
failing to enforce the forum selection clause.

According to the Texas appeals court, the forum clause at issue
does not express a clear intent that Kazakhstan is the exclusive
jurisdiction for the litigation.  Accordingly, after considering
the parties' arguments, the cited authorities, and the record
before the appeals court, the appeals court concludes the relators
have not established that the trial court abused its discretion.

The appellate case is, IN RE DINGO DRILLING, INC. AND MIKE HUSSER,
INDIVIDUALLY AND D/B/A OILFIELD TOOLS.NET, Relators, No. 14-13-
00015-CV (Tex. App. Ct.).  A copy of the Texas appeals court's

                  About Transmeridian Exploration

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Transmeridian Exploration
Incorporated is an independent energy company engaged in the
business of acquiring, developing and producing oil and natural
gas.  Its activities are primarily focused on the Caspian Sea
region of the former Soviet Union.  The License and oil and gas
production in Kazakhstan is handled through the Debtors' wholly
owned subsidiary, JSC Caspi Neft TME, a joint stock company
organized under the laws of Kazakhstan.  The Company and two
affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on March 30, 2009
(Bankr. S.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 09-31859).  Judge Marvin Isgur
presides over the case.  John Wesley Wauson, Esq., and Matthew
Brian Probus, Esq., at Wauson & Probus, serve as the Debtors'
bankruptcy counsel.  As of September 30, 2008, the Debtor had
total assets of $377,902,000 and total debts of $451,678,000

In August 2009, Transmeridian won confirmation of its Chapter 11
plan, which calls for the sale of the Company's principal assets
-- Caspi Neft, an oil and gas property in the South Alibek Field
in the Republic of Kazakhstan covered by License 1557 and the
related exploration and production, contracts -- to UFEX Advisors
Corp., a Kazakhstan company affiliated with an individual named
Erlan Sagadiev who was retained to provide consulting and
management services for the operations in Kazakhstan.  UFEX won an
auction for Caspi Neft with its offer to purchase the assets for
US$60 million in cash, and $35 million in two-year notes, and
reimbursement of $500,000 in expenses.  The New Notes provides for
a 90 day "put" option during which the holders of the New Notes
may elect to put the Notes back to UFEX in exchange for a cash
payment of 50% of the face amount of the Notes.  Prime Way
Holdings, Ltd., was the second best bidder among three
participants at the auction.

The Plan provided that, in exchange for their $300 million in
claims, the secured noteholders are to receive the cash and notes
consideration from the sale, less the $700,000 in DIP financing
provided by Mr. Sagadiev.  In satisfaction of their deficiency
claims -- then expected to exceed $200 million -- the noteholders
will receive 20% of the cash left in the Company after the sale.
Unsecured creditors, whose claims may total as much as
$14.5 million, are to have the other 80% of available cash.

Gary Neus, a former director of the Debtors, was named liquidating
trustee.  The liquidating trustee will dispose of assets not sold
to UFEX.

The noteholders and the general unsecured creditors overwhelmingly
voted in favor of the Plan.


UNI-PIXEL INC: Incurs $9 Million Net Loss in 2012
-------------------------------------------------
Uni-Pixel, Inc., reported a net loss of $9.01 million on $76,154
of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a
net loss of $8.56 million on $195,237 of revenue during the prior
year.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed
$14.71 million in total assets, $348,683 in total liabilities and
$14.36 million in total shareholders' equity.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $13 million at Dec. 31, 2012, as
compared to $7.2 million at Dec. 31, 2011.  The increase in cash
was primarily due to a $12.3 million (net) equity raise completed
in the third quarter of 2012.

"In 2012, we established a solid foundation toward the
commercialization of our two flagship products, UniBoss and
Diamond GuardTM," said Reed Killion, CEO of UniPixel.  "After
engaging with Texas Instruments, Carestream and N-trig, qualifying
multiple touch controller manufacturers and building out our
downstream supply chain, our efforts culminated with the signing
of a multi-million dollar preferred price and capacity license
agreement with a major PC maker.  Together, we are working to

VADNAIS HEIGHTS: S&P Cuts Rating on 3 Revenue Bond Classes to 'D'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term rating to
'D' from 'CC' on the City of Vadnais Heights, Minn.'s series
2010A, B, and C annual appropriation lease revenue bonds, issued
by the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Authority (EDA).

"The lowered rating reflects the city's principal payment default
of $455,000 on Feb. 1, 2013," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Caroline West.  "The City of Vadnais Heights decided to
not appropriate funds for its lease revenue bonds beginning in
fiscal 2013, and we do not believe the city has any intention to
appropriate funds in the future to pay debt service on the bonds,"
Ms. West added.

The trustee on the bonds, U.S. Bank, indicates that the interest
payment of $581,826 was paid in full and on time.

S&P understands that the city's original intention was that
operational revenues of the sports facility constructed with the
bond proceeds would cover annual debt service payments.  In 2011,
the first year of its operation, the facility generated $300,000
to contribute to debt service after operations.  Annual debt
service is $1.6 million.  The bonds mature Feb. 1, 2041.

Vadnais Heights, located in Ramsey County, is a second-ring suburb
seven miles north of St. Paul.


VILLAGE AT CAMP BOWIE: 'Artificial' Impairment Plan Upheld
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled
Feb. 26 that paying a small clutch of unsecured claims in full
over three months isn't a form of artificial impairment that
precludes cramming a reorganization plan down on a dissenting
secured lender.

The report notes that the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans joined the
appeals court in San Francisco which reached the same result in a
case called L&J Anaheim.  The New Orleans court "expressly"
rejected the Windsor opinion from the Court of Appeals in St.
Louis which recognized the notion of artificial impairment as
reason for refusing to approve a plan when the bankrupt has
financial capacity to pay the impaired claims in full.

The case involved a real estate project with $32.3 million owing
on the mortgage.  The plan put the lender in one class and $60,000
in unsecured claims in another.  The lender was to be paid in full
over five years with interest at 5.83%.  Unsecured creditors would
be paid in equal installments over three months.

The report recounts that the lender contended that unsecured
creditors were artificially impaired and that the plan wasn't
proposed in good faith. Bankruptcy Judge D. Michael Lynn, from
Fort Worth, Texas, disagreed and confirmed the plan so long as the
interest rate was raised to 6.4%.  The lender made Judge Lynn's
job easier by admitting it bought the mortgage with the intent of
taking ownership of the property.  Judge Lynn found the result
within the plain language of the Bankruptcy Code.

According to the report, in the appeals court's 13-page opinion
Feb. 26, Circuit Judge Patrick E. Higginbotham upheld Judge Lynn
and said the Bankruptcy Code must be read literally.  The Code
makes no distinction, he said, between adverse effects on claim
holders that result from economic necessity and those arising from
the bankrupt's discretion.  He said a bankrupt company's ability
to pay claims in full remains an issue on the question of whether
the plan is proposed in good faith. In the case before him, there
was good faith, as Judge Lynn found.

Judge Higginbotham said that the lender agreed the owner could
remain current on the revised mortgage and that the property was
worth more than the debt.  To keep ownership, Judge Lynn required
the owners to contribute a new $1.5 million in equity on the
condition that they couldn't take money out until the lenders were
fully paid.  Judge Lynn like Judge Higginbotham said that the plan
fits within the "plain meaning of Sections 1124 and 1129(a)(10)"
of the Bankruptcy Code.

The case is Western Real Estate Equities LLC v. Village at
Camp Bowie I LP (In re Village at Camp Bowie I LP, 12-10271, 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (New Orleans). The case in
bankruptcy court is In re Village at Camp Bowie I LP, 10-45097,
U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth).

VIRIDIS ENERGY: Completes Restructuring of Cornwall Debt
--------------------------------------------------------
Viridis Energy Inc. disclosed that effective Feb. 25, 2013, it has
completed a restructuring of its short term debt with its largest
investor, Cornwall Investments, LLC.  The debt restructuring
includes Okanagan Pellet Company Inc. assumption of the HSBC Bank
Canada debt and the short-term loan on the Scotia Atlantic Biomass
Company Limited ("Scotia") facility, currently in default.  The
aggregate of the two credit facilities is approximately $5.7
million of long-term debt.

The first of the two facilities is a non-revolving term credit
facility in the principal amount of $3,067,657 and represents the
conversion of the demand revolving credit facility in the original
principal amount of $3,000,000 previously provided by HSBC Bank
Canada to Viridis' wholly owned, marketing subsidiary, Cypress
Pacific Marketing Inc. ("Cypress").  This facility was
subsequently sold and assigned by HSBC Canada to Cornwall.

To facilitate the restructuring, Cypress assigned the debt of the
Revised Credit Facility to OPC via an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement.  OPC irrevocably accepted and assumed all of the rights
and obligations to Cornwall under the Revised Credit Facility.
OPC is one of two wood pellet production facilities of Viridis
and, as such, holds fixed assets that can be collateralized. As
further security for the Revised Credit Facility, Viridis has
guaranteed the debt of OPC to Cornwall.

Interest on the Revised Credit Facility is due at the Maturity
Date, or on such earlier date or dates as it repays in whole or in
part the principal amount of the Revised Credit Facility, at the
Prime Rate plus 6% per annum.  Interest will accrue and be
computed daily and will be compounded monthly until paid.

In consideration for the Revised Credit Facility and subject to
TSXV approval, Viridis will issue shares of its common stock to
Cornwall.  A total of 2,420,000 Bonus Shares will be represented
by four share certificates registered in the name of Cornwall, in
denominations of 484,000; 484,000; 605,000 and 847,000 shares
respectively.  Upon approval by the TSXV, the first certificate
for 484,000 Bonus Shares will be delivered to Cornwall.  As an
incentive to Viridis to arrange for the refinancing of the Revised
Credit Facility with a third party, the balance of the Bonus
Shares will be subject to the provisions of an Escrow Agreement
and the certificates for those Bonus Shares will be held by the
Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agreement provides for the delivery of
the remaining three certificates after each six month period
during which the Revised Credit Facility, or any portion thereof,
is outstanding have elapsed, starting on Oct. 1, 2013 with the
final delivery on Oct. 1, 2014.

The second facility is an extension of the existing short-term
facility in the original principal amount of $2,455,000 provided
to Scotia by Cornwall.  The revised facility is a non-revolving
term credit facility in the principal amount of $2,636,238
established by Cornwall in favour of Scotia,.  As further security
for the Scotia Credit Facility, Viridis has guaranteed the debt of
OPC to Cornwall.

Interest on the Scotia Credit Facility is due on the Maturity
Date, or on such earlier date or dates as it repays in whole or in
part the principal amount of the Scotia Credit Facility, at the
Prime Rate plus 5% per annum.  Interest will accrue and be
computed daily and will be compounded monthly until paid.

In consideration for the Scotia Credit Facility and subject to
TSXV approval, Viridis will issue Bonus Shares to Cornwall.  A
total of 2,080,000 Bonus Shares will be represented by four share
certificates registered in the name of Cornwall, in denominations
of 416,000; 416,000; 520,000 and 728,000 shares respectively.
Upon TSXV approval, the first certificate for 416,000 Bonus Shares
will be delivered to Cornwall.  As an incentive to Viridis to
arrange for the refinancing of the Scotia Credit Facility with a
third party, the balance of the Bonus Shares will be subject to
the provisions of an Escrow Agreement and the certificates for
those Bonus Shares, will be held by the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow
Agreement provides for the delivery of the remaining three
certificates after each six month period during which the Scotia
Credit Facility, or any portion thereof, is outstanding have
elapsed, starting on Oct. 1, 2013 with the final delivery on
Oct. 1, 2014.

"The debt restructuring with Cornwall is an important step in the
process that we began in December.  The deferment of interest and
principal payments until maturity will further Viridis' ability to
generate working capital to support growth.  In addition, the
escrowed bonus share program provides Viridis the incentive to
accelerate its plans for refinancing with a traditional lender
over the next two years.  Cornwall continues to demonstrate its
support of Viridis as it develops its production capacity to
capitalize on the Renewable Energy industry's advancement," said
Christopher Robertson, chairman and chief executive officer,

Exchange Commission, First Wilshire Securities Management, Inc.,
disclosed that, as of Dec. 31, 2012, it beneficially owns
748,272 shares of common stock of WPCS International representing
10.8% of the shares outstanding.  First Wilshire previously
reported beneficial ownership of 785,616 common shares or a 11.2%
equity stake as fo June 30, 2012.  A copy of the amended filing is

                      About WPCS International

Exton, Pennsylvania-based WPCS International Incorporated provides
design-build engineering services that focus on the implementation
requirements of communications infrastructure.  The Company
provides its engineering capabilities including wireless
communication, specialty construction and electrical power to the
public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise
markets worldwide.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 8, 2011, WPCS International and its
United Stated based subsidiaries, previously entered into a loan
agreement, dated April 10, 2007, as extended, modified and amended
several times, with Bank of America, N.A.  The Company is seeking
alternative debt financing and has conducted discussions with
other senior lenders to replace the Loan Agreement.  The Company
may not be successful in obtaining alternative debt financing or
additional financing sources may not be available on acceptable
terms.  If the Company is required to repay the Loan Agreement,
the Company has sufficient working capital to repay the
outstanding borrowings.

J.H. COHN LLP, in Eatontown, New Jersey, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company is in default of certain covenants of its credit
agreement and has incurred operating losses, negative cash flows
from operating activities and has a working capital deficiency as
of April 30, 2012.  These matters raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

WPCS reported a net loss attributable to the Company of
$20.54 million for the year ended April 30, 2012, compared to a
net loss attributable to the Company of $36.83 million during the
prior fiscal year.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 31, 2012, showed $21.47
million in total assets, $14.69 million in total liabilities and
$6.78 million in total equity.

"At October 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$921,206 and working capital of $1,265,636, which consisted of
current assets of $15,897,614 and current liabilities of
$14,631,978, and on December 4, 2012, repaid the existing loan
with Sovereign.  However, the Company's outstanding obligations
under the Zurich Agreement and Indemnity Agreement raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern," according to the Company's Form 10-Q for the
period ended Oct. 31, 2012.


* Fitch Sees More Relaxed U.S. Auto Loan Terms
----------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects the recent pattern of easing U.S. auto loan
underwriting standards to continue in 2013, and some further
weakening in lender credit metrics will likely result. "However,
the trajectory of increased delinquencies and credit losses still
appears modest and in line with our expectations," Fitch says.

"We see signs of more relaxed auto credit terms in the Federal
Reserve's January Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey. The Fed
reported that 13% of surveyed lenders eased credit terms for
individual auto borrowers during the fourth quarter of 2012. This
compares with a 23% figure in 3Q12, when a similar easing of
standards was apparent. Competition appears to be centered on loan
pricing, with 28% of surveyed lenders reporting that spreads over
funding costs narrowed in the fourth quarter.

"Credit losses and delinquency rates ticked up modestly in the
fourth quarter of 2012, largely as a result of seasonality. Loss
rates were up by 28 bps compared with the third quarter, while 30-
day delinquency rates moved up by 63 bps for auto lenders reviewed
in our analysis.

"In the subprime space, competition between lenders is heating up.
To a large extent, this reflects the impact of more aggressive
loan pricing, as new entrants, some of which are backed by private
equity capital, seek to boost market share quickly. New entry is
also being supported by easier funding conditions, especially in
ABS.

"So far, we see changes in auto loan underwriting terms as
generally modest, with new standards largely reflecting a
normalization of market conditions rather than excessively
aggressive pricing tactics. Continued robust demand for new and
used vehicles and increased willingness to lend due to easy
funding access, combined with expected moderation in used car
values likely points to some deterioration in lender asset quality
through 2013. Still, we expect the modest weakening in lender
credit metrics to be manageable and consistent with current
ratings."

For a complete discussion of recent developments in U.S. auto
lending, Fitch released a report titled "U.S. Auto Asset Quality
Review," dated Feb. 26, 2013.


* S&P Suits Get Boost From Earlier Court Wins, States Say
---------------------------------------------------------
David McLaughlin, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that state
lawsuits against Standard & Poor's over ratings on securities are
bolstered by legal victories that Connecticut and Illinois have
already won against the company, attorneys general for those two
states said.

The Bloomberg report related that Illinois and Connecticut
defeated attempts by S&P to throw out their lawsuits, which were
filed before the U.S. Justice Department and other states sued the
company this month.  Those decisions undercut a free-speech
defense S&P has relied on, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan
and Connecticut's George Jepsen told Bloomberg.

"There's no reason they shouldn't hold up to scrutiny in other
states," Madigan said about the state claims in an interview at a
conference of state attorneys general in Washington, according to
Bloomberg.

The U.S. sued New York-based S&P and parent McGraw-Hill Cos. Feb.
4, accusing S&P of disregarding the credit risks of mortgage bonds
during the housing boom to win business rating securities,
Bloomberg recalled.  The U.S. was joined by 13 states that sued
and the District of Columbia, according to a statement from
Jepsen's office.  Connecticut, Illinois and Mississippi previously
filed complaints against the company.

The U.S. case is U.S. v. McGraw-Hill, 13-00779, U.S. District
Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).


* Survey: Shine Might Be Off Alternative Fee Arrangements
---------------------------------------------------------
A significantly smaller percentage of in-house counsel used some
form of alternative legal fee structures last year, according to a
new legal survey from Fulbright & Jaworski LLP that defied
previous years' upward trends and more vocal criticism in recent
years of the billable hour, Andrew Strickler of BankruptcyLaw360
reported.

The survey of 275 participating in-house U.S. attorneys found that
51% used some form of alternative fee arrangement, down from 61%
the previous year, and essentially equal with the 2010 data, the
BLaw360 report added.

The BLaw360 further related that the Fulbright & Jaworski showed
that in-house corporate lawyers last year rated fixed-fee legal
pricing the most effective alternative fee model to the straight
billable hour.  Forty-seven% of U.S.-based general counsel and
litigation heads using some kind of alternative fee arrangement,
or AFA, gave preset prices the "most effective" rating for
accomplishing their fee goals, the report said.  About a third of
respondents also gave the highest rating to capped fees and
performance-based fees, the report added.

The BLaw360 report also said the survey noted that corporations
beefed up their legal departments in 2012 and expect to do the
same this year, with mounting regulatory challenges and abundant
litigation combining to boost the need for in-house expertise.

Fifty-eight% of U.S. companies employed at least three in-house
attorneys, up from 53% the year before and 40% in 2010, the report
said, citing the survey.

A summary of the Fulbright & Jaworski survey released on Feb. 26,
2013, is available at http://is.gd/Kz2Phf


* Rabobank Faces Libor-Rigging Fine of $440 Million
---------------------------------------------------
Lindsay Fortado, Maud van Gaal & Greg Farrell, writing for
Bloomberg News, reported that Rabobank Groep faces a fine of more
than $440 million for Libor rigging as global regulators seek to
increase the $2.5 billion in penalties already levied in the rate-
manipulation scandal.

The Bloomberg report related that Rabobank, the second-biggest
Dutch lender, is next in line to reach a settlement with the U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Department of Justice
and the U.K. Financial Services Authority over claims it tried to
manipulate benchmark interest rates, said four people with
knowledge of the probe who asked not to be identified because the
talks are private.

According to the report, the penalty, which may come as soon as
May, is likely to be between the 290 million pounds ($440 million)
Barclays Plc (BARC) paid in June and the $612 million Royal Bank
of Scotland Group Plc paid this month, one of the people said.
Rabobank, formed in 1898 as a co-operative to lend to Dutch
farmers, is the country's only contributor to the London interbank
offered rate, the benchmark for more than $300 trillion of
securities.

Barclays, UBS AG and RBS have been fined more than $2.5 billion
following a global probe into Libor manipulation, Bloomberg
related. Traders rigged the benchmark to profit from bets on
derivatives, while banks sought to submit artificially low rates
to appear financially healthier than they were, according to
regulators.

Closely held Rabobank is under scrutiny for alleged attempts to
manipulate sterling Libor, dollar Libor, Japanese yen Libor and
Euribor in its London, New York, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong
offices, one of the people said, according to Bloomberg.


* American Securities Targets $750 Million for Distressed Fund
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hillary Canada, writing for Dow Jones, reported that roughly 18
months after holding a close on its second distressed debt fund,
American Securities is back marketing a follow-up vehicle,
according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
American Securities Opportunities Fund III LP is targeting $750
million, according to the SEC filing, which didn't include how
much, if any, capital has been raised, the report said.

                            *********

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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