ADAMS PRODUCE: Denise King OK'd to Pursue State Court Remedies
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Tamara O. Mitchell of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Alabama in February granted for Denise King's
motion for relief from stay to pursue its state court remedies as
to insurance proceeds only but not to attempt to collect any
deficiency balance from Adams Produce Company, LLC.

                        About Adams Produce

Adams Produce Company, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
N.D. Ala. Case No. 12-02036) on April 27, 2012, in its home-town
in Birmingham, Alabama.

Privately held Adams Produce is a distributor of fresh fruits and
vegetables to restaurants, government and hospitality
establishments across the Southeastern United States.  With over
400 employees, Adams Produce services the states of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee.  The
company was founded by Edwin Calvin Adams in 1903.

Adams Produce disclosed $19,545,473 in assets and $41,569,039 and
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.  A debtor-affiliate,
Adams Clinton Business Park, LLC, estimated up to $10 million in
assets and liabilities.  The Debtors owe PNC Bank, National
Association, $750,000 under a term loan, $1.35 million under a
real estate loan, and $3.4 million under a revolver.  The Debtors
are also indebted $2 million under promissory notes.  Adams owes
$4.4 million in accounts payable to trade and other creditors, and
$10.2 million to agricultural commodity suppliers.

The Debtors have tapped Burr & Forman as attorneys; CRG Partners
Group LLC as financial advisor; and CRG's Thomas S. O'Donoghue,
Jr. as chief restructuring officer; and Donlin Recano & Company
Inc. as the claims and notice agent.  Brian R. Walding, Esq., at
Walding LLC, in Birmingham, Alabama, represents the Ad Hoc
Committee of Non-Insider Employees as counsel.  The Bankruptcy
Administrator said that it is not feasible to form a committee of
unsecured creditors in the Debtor's case in view of the fact that
an insufficient number of unsecured creditors were willing to
serve.

Their Second Amended Plan, dated March 7, included an exhibit on
employee recovery calculation.  Priority Employee Claims total
approximately $1,096,235.  Each non-Insider Employee Holder of an
Allowed Priority Employee Claim will be paid their Pro Rata share
of $850,000 in Cash from the Available Funds, after deductions of
(1) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs awarded to Counsel to the
Ad Hoc Committee of Non-Insider Employees, and (2) taxes and
expenses associated with the distribution of the amounts as wages.
Additionally, each non-Insider Employee Holder of an Allowed
Priority Employee Claim will be paid their Pro Rata share of the
$450,000 payment received by the Debtors' pursuant to the pleas
agreement with the Debtors' former chief executive officer.

The Court established March 18, 2013, as the bar date for (1)
prepetition claims; (2) administrative expense claims under
Section 503(b)(9); and (3) non-professional administrative expense
claims that were incurred from April 27, 2012, until Dec. 31,
2012.


AGRI-SOURCES: Ill. Appeals Court Affirms Stay of Foreclosure Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Appellate Court of Illinois, Third District, affirmed a
preliminary injunction judgment of the circuit court of Henderson
County that stayed a (i) foreclosure action commenced by First
State Bank of Illinois against numerous defendants regarding a
20-acre parcel of commercial property in Gladstone, Illinois; and
(ii) prohibited Happy R Securities, LLC, the successor to FSBI's
rights under the mortgage; Kurt D. McChesney; and Agri-Sources,
LLC, from seeking or taking possession of an eight-acre parcel of
land used by Oquawka River Terminal LLC that was contained within
the 20-acre parcel.

Mr. McChesney was a member of both ORT and Agri-Sources.

In 2007, ORT began leasing the use of two storage buildings
located on the 8-acre parcel from the previous owner.  Agri-
Sources purchased the 20-acre parcel in 2008.

Mr. McChesney owed FSBI roughly $3.3 million to $3.4 million,
which includes personal loans.  A business venture involving Mr.
McChesney and his mother called M & K Farms Partnership, entered
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in January 2011. As a part of
those proceedings, the M&K Farms Partnership sold over $1 million
in machinery, and Mr. McChesney's mother sold at least $4 million
in real estate from the Charles McChesney trust.

In the foreclosure action, ORT filed the motion for preliminary
injunction.  HRS filed an interlocutory appeal, arguing that the
circuit court erred when it granted ORT's motion.

In its pleading, ORT alleged that Mr. McChesney, while a member of
both ORT and Agri-Sources, engaged "in a calculated course of
conduct intended to specifically benefit his personal and business
interests at the expense of the protected business interests of
the ORT Parties."  ORT alleged Mr. McChesney "breached his
fiduciary duty obligations to the ORT Parties by, among other
things, failing to fully disclose his personal dealings which were
adverse to the business of the ORT Parties, and by suppressing and
then usurping the corporate opportunities of ORT, including in
particular ORT's contractually protected right to purchase real
estate vital to ORT's operations."

The case is HAPPY R SECURITIES, LLC, an Illinois Limited Liability
Corporation, Assignee of First State Bank of Illinois, Plaintiff
and Counterdefendant-Appellant, v. AGRI-SOURCES, LLC; THE INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE, The Department of the Treasury, United States of
America; THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS;
JEFFERSON RIVER TERMINAL, a Division of Consolidated Grain and
Barge Company, a Missouri Corporation; OQUAWKA RIVER TERMINAL,
LLC; RYCO DISTRIBUTING, INC.; COUNTRY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY;
and UNKNOWN OWNERS and NONRECORD CLAIMANTS, Defendants,
(Oquawka River Terminal, LLC, an Illinois Limited Liability
Company; and ROBERT W. RYAN, JR., JEFFREY BUTLER, and DAVID C.

Counterplaintiffs-Appellees and Cross-Plaintiffs-Appellees; v.
Kurt D. McChesney, Counterdefendant; Agri-Sources, LLC,
Counterdefendant and Cross-Defendant), No. 3-12-0509 (Ill. App.
Ct.).  A copy of the Opinion filed March 28, 2013, is available at

ALETHEIA RESEARCH: Stays in Ch. 11 But Case in Liquidation
----------------------------------------------------------
Peter C. Anderson, the U.S. Trustee for Region 16, withdrew a
motion to dismiss or convert the Chapter 11 case of Aletheia
Research and Management, Inc., to one under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code.  At the Dec. 28, 2012 hearing, the Court approved
the stipulation resolving the U.S. Trustee's motion by the
appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee.  The stipulation was entered
among the Debtor, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
and Management Inc.

The Debtor made it clear that it was winding down operations,
trying to liquidate its business, and assign its lease.  Thus the
case is now a liquidation case and not an operating reorganization
case.

                     About Aletheia Research

Aletheia Research and Management, Inc., filed a bare-bones
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 12-47718) on
Nov. 11, 2012.  Attorneys at Greenberg Glusker represent the
Debtor.  Avant Advisory Group, LLC, is the financial advisor.  The
board voted in favor of a bankruptcy filing due to the Company's
financial situation and ongoing litigation.

According to the list of top largest unsecured creditors, Proctor
Investments has unliquidated and disputed claims of $16 million on
account of pending litigation.   The Debtor disclosed $6,492,105
in assets and $17,457,458 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11
filing.

An official committee of unsecured creditors was appointed in
December 2012.  The Committee is represented by Pachulski Stang
Ziehl & Jones LLP while Brandlin & Associates provides financial
advisory services.

Jeffrey I. Golden was appointed as Chapter 11 Trustee in January
2013.  Baker & Hostetler LLP is the Trustee's special counsel and
Ernst & Young LLP is his advisory services provider.


AMBAC FINANCIAL: Incurs $259.3 Million Net Loss in 2012
-------------------------------------------------------

Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a
net loss of $259.35 million on $414.60 million of net premiums

ATKINS NUTRITIONAL: Funding Cuts Won't Impact Moody's B2 CFR
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said the reduction in the amount of
financing will not affect Atkins Nutritional Holdings II, Inc.'s
B2 corporate family rating, the B1 rating of the company's
revolving credit facility and first lien term loan or the Caa1
rating of the company's second lien term loan.

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

Atkins Nutritionals Holdings II, Inc., a subsidiary of Atkins
Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. is headquartered in Denver, CO. The

revenues, on a net sales basis, for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2012 were approximately $311 million.


ATLATSA RESOURCES: Enters Into Revised Restructure Plan with Anglo
------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsequent to year-end, on March 27, 2013, Atlatsa Resources
Corporation disclosed that it had entered into a ZAR3.5 billion
(US$380 million) Revised Restructure Plan with Anglo American
Platinum, which will have a material positive impact on the
Company's operational and financial outlook going forward.

Upon implementation of the Revised Restructure Plan, Atlatsa and
the Bokoni group will be well positioned to implement their
business strategy on a more conservative, lower risk and
sustainable basis.  The Revised Restructure Plan retains most of
the elements agreed between the Parties in the Initial Restructure
Plan announced on February 2, 2012 and improves on the Initial
Restructure Plan as follows:

-- A new and more conservative operating and financing plan for
Bokoni Mine through to 2020.

-- An simplification to the equity capital structure of Atlatsa
which results in:

-- an equity capital injection into Atlatsa of ZAR750 million
($87.9 million) by Anglo American Platinum subscribing for 125
million new common shares in Atlatsa at ZAR 6.00 per share
(US$0.71 cps), the proceeds of which will be used to further
reduce Atlatsa's outstanding debt;

-- the unwinding of the historical "B" preference share
arrangement, such that Atlatsa will have one class of common
shares going forward; and

-- an increase in the BEE shareholding in Atlatsa from 51% to 62%
(fully diluted), facilitated by Anglo American Platinum selling
115.8 million Atlatsa common shares, arising from the unwind of
the "B" preference shares, to Atlatsa Holdings for ZAR 463 million
($54.27 million) on a vendor-financed basis.

-- An amendment to the debt capital structure and financing terms
of Atlatsa, which results in the following revisions to the
existing debt facility between Atlatsa and Anglo American
Platinum:

-- a 75% reduction in Atlatsa's attributable debt from ZAR3.28
billion ($384.87 million) to approximately ZAR 833 million ($97.66
million), as at December 31, 2012;

-- an increase in the existing debt facility by ZAR700 million
($82.06 million) made available to Atlatsa to finance its 51% pro
rata share of the planned expansion at Bokoni Mine through to 2020
with a maximum facility limit of ZAR1.55 billion ($181.71
million); and

-- a reduction in Atlatsa's estimated effective cost of borrowing
from 13% to 2% over the debt term period between 2013 to 2020.

The implementation of the Revised Restructure Plan will be
subject, inter alia, to the fulfillment or, where appropriate,
waiver of the following conditions precedent:

-- Approval by the shareholders of Atlatsa;

-- All of the agreements constituting the Revised Restructuring
Plan becoming unconditional;

-- To the extent required, unconditional approval by the
Competition Authorities of South Africa;

-- To the extent required, unconditional approval by the South
African Reserve Bank; and

-- Approval of the Transaction by the relevant regulatory
authorities including the TSX Venture Exchange, JSE Limited, NYSE-
MKT, the South African Department of Mineral Resources and
ministerial approval of the transfer of mineral rights.

The disclosure was made in the Company's earnings release for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, a copy of which
is available for free at http://is.gd/v5a0ov


AURORA ENERGY: Ruling on Gas Royalty Dispute Affirmed
-----------------------------------------------------
District Judge Robert Holmes Bell affirmed a bankruptcy court's
entry of judgment in a natural gas royalty dispute between
Frontier Energy LLC and Aurora Energy Ltd., and dismissed a cross-
appeal of the bankruptcy court's determination that the term
"lease" in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365 applies to oil and gas leases.

Frontier Energy owns the mineral rights formerly held by North
Michigan Land and Oil Company.  Aurora Energy, Ltd., is a company
involved in extracting oil and gas.

In 2002, Aurora entered into an agreement with Frontier to lease a
large mineral estate in Charlevoix County, Michigan. Under the so-
called Hudson Agreement, Aurora, as lessee, agreed to lease oil
and gas producing properties from Frontier, as lessor, in exchange
for the payment of royalties to Frontier.  The negotiated
agreement departed from the standard State of Michigan form lease
in several significant respects.  The parties agreed on an initial
royalty of 15% of the proceeds of sale before Payout, subject to
deductions for "costs incurred by lessee for CO2 removal, third
party transportation, and necessary compression."  After Payout,
the parties agreed that royalties would increase from 15% to 50%
depending on the price for which the gas was sold by the lessee.

Gas extraction began in 2005.  In June 2007, Frontier began to
question Aurora's calculation of the royalty payments.  In
February 2008, Frontier filed a state court action against Aurora
alleging breach of contract based on failure to properly compute
and pay royalties.  Frontier contends that Aurora underpaid it by
more than $1.5 million.

In 2009, Aurora filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Aurora removed the
state court action to the bankruptcy court as an adversary
proceeding. At the conclusion of an 11-day trial, the bankruptcy
court issued an opinion and order construing the Agreement.  On
Feb. 18, 2012, the bankruptcy court entered a judgment in favor of
Aurora, and against Frontier, and disallowed the claims filed by
Frontier.  Frontier filed an appeal, challenging the bankruptcy
court's construction of the Agreement.  Aurora filed the cross-
appeal of the bankruptcy court's ruling that the Agreement is a
"lease" under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365.

The case is, FRONTIER ENERGY, LLC, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v.
AURORA ENERGY, LTD., Appellee/Cross-Appellant, No. 1:12-CV-424
(W.D. Mich.).  A copy of the Court's March 27, 2013 Opinion is

BELLWEST HOLDINGS: Plan to Pay Secured Creditors Over Time
----------------------------------------------------------
Bellwest Holdings, LLC's proposed Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization dated Feb. 18, 2013, provides that due to the
current economic situation it is possible that all secured
creditors may not be paid according to their contract with the
Debtor but will be paid the amount of their allowed claim over an
extended period of time.

According to the explanatory Disclosure Statement, the infusion of
monies into the reorganized Debtor through capital contributions
may be required in order for Debtor to continue in business.  In
order for Debtor to continue in business, potential investors of
the Debtor may also infuse new capital, if required.

The Debtor is exploring possibilities for new money to be
contributed to the estate.  Any new monies will also be used as
operating reserves to cover any operating shortfalls, which the
Debtor may encounter but does not anticipate.  The Debtor believes
it will have sufficient funds available to bring any deficiency
owed to the lender current and can reinstate the mortgage.

                        Exclusivity Expired

Previously, the Hon. Eileen W. Hollowell denied the Debtor's
second motion to extend its exclusive plan proposal periods.
Secured creditor MLCFC 2007-9 Surprise Retail, LLC, in its
objection stated that it is inclined to file a plan of liquidation
if afforded the opportunity, and the Debtor has failed to show
sufficient cause to extend the exclusivity period a second time in
the five-month-old single asset real estate case.

                    About Bellwest Holdings LLC

Bellwest Holdings LLC, owner of a property in Surprise, Arizona,
filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 12-20126) on
Sept. 10, 2012, in Tucson.  The Debtor, a single asset real estate
under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 (51B), estimated assets and debts of $10
million to $50 million in the petition.

BIG SANDY: Wants Exclusive Plan Filing Period Extended to April 10
------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Sandy Holding Company has asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Colorado to further extend its exclusivity periods
to propose a plan of reorganization until April 10, 2013, and to
solicit acceptance of that plan until June 10, 2013.

The Debtor's exclusive period to file a plan of reorganization, as
previously extended, expires on March 11, 2013, and the attendant
solicitation period expires on May 10, 2013.  The Debtor seeks an
additional 30-day extension of its exclusivity periods.

The Debtor said in a filing dated March 11, 2013, that since the
filing of this case through Dec. 31, 2012, the Debtor's primary
focus had been the marketing, auction and sale of the capital
stock of the bank, the Debtor's primary asset.  The Debtor
established and obtained court approval of bidding procedures,
held an auction on Nov. 29, 2012, resolved the pending objections
to the proposed sale, prepared for and attended a hearing on the
proposed sale on Dec. 6, 2012, and obtained court order approving
the sale on Dec. 7, 2012.  On Dec. 31, 2012, the closing of the
sale occurred.

"Since Closing of the Sale, the Debtor has focused its efforts on
preparing a plan and disclosure statement that provide the most
efficient and practical means of recovery for creditors, as well
as related issues of governance, terms of a liquidating trust and
similar issues.  The Debtor intends to file a liquidating plan and
has secured Thomas M. Kim, CTP, Senior Managing Director, r2
Advisors, LLC, to take on the role as plan administrator and come
into management to see the case through confirmation," the Debtor
stated.

According to the Debtor, a significant expected source of creditor
recovery is the Debtor's share of a sizable tax refund.  The
Debtor has received inquiries from the Internal Revenue Service.
The Debtor believes that a brief delay in filing a plan will allow
the parties to sort out in detail various roles and
responsibilities in responding to the IRS and otherwise regarding
the refund, prior to filing the plan.

CAPITOL BANCORP: Seeking Confirmation of Standby Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
Capitol Bancorp Limited on March 28 provided an update on its
financial restructuring plan.

In June 2012, Capitol announced the commencement of a voluntary
restructuring plan, designed to facilitate its objective of
converting existing debt to equity, which will facilitate new
equity investments in the Corporation, as well as to help restore
Capitol's capital ratios and ensure its affiliate banks are
appropriately capitalized.  The initiative includes the
opportunity to preserve Capitol's substantial deferred tax assets,
which can benefit all shareholders going forward.  The joint plan
of reorganization provides for the restructuring of Capitol's and
its affiliate Financial Commerce Corporation's liabilities in a
manner designed to maximize recoveries to all creditors and to
enhance the financial stability of the reorganized Debtors while
simultaneously raising new capital from outside investors, which
can be immediately deployed into the reorganized Debtor's
subsidiary banks, thus avoiding the significant adverse
consequences that would result from the seizure of any subsidiary
bank.

Existing debt holders were asked to exchange their debt securities
for both preferred and common stock of the company.
Simultaneously, Capitol solicited votes from all debt and equity
holders for a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for
Capitol and FCC to be commenced in the event the Exchange Offer
was not successful or that Capitol believed the transactions
contemplated by the Standby Plan are in the best interests of all
stakeholders.  The Standby Plan contemplates the conversion of all
current trust preferred security holders, unsecured senior note
holders, current preferred equity shareholders and current common
equity shareholders into new classes of common stock which will
retain approximately 53 percent of the voting control and value of
the restructured company.

Capitol has also been actively seeking to identify external
capital sources sufficient to restore all affiliate institutions
to "well-capitalized" status in exchange for approximately 47
percent of the restructured company.  The Standby Plan
contemplates an equity infusion of at least $70 million and up to
$115 million pursuant to a separate equity commitment agreement to
be entered into by Capitol and certain third-party investors prior
to the date on which the Standby Plan becomes effective.

The first segment of the restructuring plan, the exchange of
Capitol's outstanding trust preferred securities, unsecured
capital notes and Series A preferred stock, expired on July 27,
2012.  As the conditions for the Exchange Offers were not met, the
Exchange Offer was terminated and the tendered securities were
released into their original CUSIP numbers.

Holders of Capitol's senior notes, trust preferred securities,
Series A preferred and common stock overwhelmingly voted to accept
the Standby Plan and as a result of the successful vote, Capitol's
board of directors approved proceeding with voluntary Chapter 11
filings for Capitol and FCC in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan, and Capitol is seeking confirmation
of the approved Standby Plan by the Court.  The Court granted
Capitol certain "first-day motions" which allow it to continue its
operations in the ordinary course during the plan confirmation
process, and which include requests to continue the payment of
wages, salaries and other employee benefits.  Capitol has also
been granted a motion by the Court restricting trading in
Capitol's senior notes, trust preferred securities, preferred
stock and common stock in order to preserve certain of Capitol's
deferred tax assets.

Capitol officials emphasize that this initiative will not affect
the operations or deposits of any of Capitol's affiliate banks,
which are continuing normal operations during the pendency of the
cases.  Capitol's affiliated banks are regulated separately from
the holding company and, like all other insured commercial banks,
their deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

Capitol's Chairman and CEO, Joseph D. Reid stated, "We remain
hopeful that the restructuring plan will serve to provide
resolution for our trust preferred securities and Capitol's senior
debt, while also facilitating additional equity investments in the
Corporation.  Additionally, successful completion of the plan will
provide benefits to Capitol and all of its stakeholders, and will
help to restore the Corporation's capital ratios, as well as the
capital ratios of our affiliate banks, providing a more stable
platform for future growth and support.  We appreciate the
continued support from our many stakeholders as we work through
this reorganization process."

When the trust preferred securities were originally issued, and
until recently, substantially all of those securities comprised a
crucial element of Capitol's compliance with regulatory capital
requirements because they were a material component of regulatory
capital.  Because of Capitol's weakened financial condition and
changes to banking regulations affecting its ability (as well as
that of other bank holding companies in the United States) to
include any portion of these securities in regulatory capital
computations, none of these securities are currently included in
the Corporation's regulatory capital measurements.  The
restructuring initiatives will facilitate the conversion of
Capitol's trust preferred securities to equity and represent an
efficient opportunity to strengthen the composition of Capitol's
capital base by increasing its Tier 1 common and tangible common
equity ratios, while also reducing the dividend and interest
expense associated with these securities.  By increasing its
common equity component, and successfully completing the capital
raise component of the plan, Capitol expects to have increased
capital flexibility to continue to support its community banking
platform, strategically take advantage of select market
opportunities and implement its long-term strategies.

Affiliate Bank Divestitures Capitol previously announced plans to
sell its controlling interests in several affiliate banks.  The
sale of one of these banks in the Northwest region of the country
was completed in November 2012 and Capitol has also entered into
definitive agreements to sell its interests in two affiliates
located in the Great Lakes region.  These three transactions
represent nearly $210 million of assets.  The pending divestiture
is anticipated to be completed in 2013, pending regulatory
approval and other contingencies.

                             Net Loss

A net loss of approximately $1.6 million, or ($0.04) per share,
was reported for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to a net
loss of $6.5 million, or ($0.16) per share, for the corresponding
period in 2011. Approximately $210,000 ($0.01 per share) of this
2012 quarterly net loss, or roughly 14 percent, is attributable to
"reorganization items" expense directly associated with Capitol's
financial restructuring plan.

The company disclosed details of its financial restructuring plan
in its earnings release for the fourth quarter of 2012, a copy of
which is available for free at http://is.gd/mbzfYH

Capitol Bancorp Ltd. and Financial Commerce Corporation filed
voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case
Nos. 12-58409 and 12-58406) on Aug. 9, 2012.

Capitol Bancorp -- http://www.capitolbancorp.com/-- is a
community banking company with a network of individual banks and
bank operations in 10 states and total consolidated assets of
roughly $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2012.  CBC owns roughly 97% of

in turn, is the holding company for five of the banks in CBC's
network.  CBC is registered as a bank holding company under the

Lawyers at Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP represent the
Debtors as counsel.  John A. Simon, Esq., of Foley & Lardner LLP
represents the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors as
counsel.

In its petition, Capitol Bancorp scheduled $112,634,112 in total
assets and $195,644,527 in total liabilities.  The petitions were
signed by Cristin K. Reid, corporate president.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$1.749 billion in total assets, $1.891 billion in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $141.8 million.

Prepetition, the Debtor arranged a reorganization plan that was
accepted by the requisite majorities of creditors and equity
holders in all classes.  Problems arose when affiliates of
Valstone Partners LLC declined to proceed with a tentative
agreement to fund the reorganization by paying $50 million for
common and preferred stock while buying $207 million in face
amount of defaulted commercial and residential mortgages.

million of loans, $195 million of real estate and $1.48 billion of
cash (most of which was held by Capmark Bank).

-- The Company received asset distributions from Capmark Bank
totaling approximately $1.69 billion, consisting of loans and REO
assets of $1.32 billion (at fair value) and cash of $368 million.

Capmark Bank to the Company were monetized in 2012.

-- The Company fully repaid the $1.25 billion of secured debt
securities issued at emergence from bankruptcy.

-- The Company made aggregate distributions to shareholders of
$14.50 per share or $1.45 billion and ended the year with $1.3
billion of stockholders' equity.

-- Capmark Bank transferred $827 million of deposits to an
unaffiliated bank, which included all of Capmark Bank's deposits
maturing after August 2013.

-- Capmark Bank repaid $1.9 billion of deposit liabilities and
fully repaid its borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle.

-- The Company paid an additional $112 million to prepetition
creditors including $65 million under the settlement agreement

agreement with the creditors of Crystal Ball Holdings of Bermuda
Limited and $25 million from the disputed claims reserve.

-- The Company substantially completed the wind down of its LIHTC
business and Asian operations and substantially reduced the
operations of Capmark Bank by transferring its loan and REO
assets, together with the majority of its staff, to other
subsidiaries of the Company.

-- The Company reduced its headcount from 220 employees at

CARMEL PARTNERS: Mannatt Successfully Defends Foreclosure Action
----------------------------------------------------------------
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, announced it won a major lender
liability/wrongful foreclosure action on March 25, 2013, obtaining
a complete defense verdict in favor of its clients, including
certain affiliates of the San Francisco-based real estate
investment firm Carmel Partners.  The Honorable Marla J. Miller,
Judge of the San Francisco Superior Court, issued a 56-page
statement finding for the defendants on all claims.  Plaintiffs
were represented at trial principally by David Boies and David W.
Shapiro of Boies, Schiller & Flexner, LLP.

The case stems from a complex series of commercial transactions
that began in 2007, when Richard D. Cohen, founder of the New
York-based real estate firm Capital Properties, purchased a high-
rise apartment complex in San Francisco known as Rincon
Residential Towers for $143 million.  Mr. Cohen's entities took
out a two year, $110 million loan from Bear Stearns to fund the
purchase.

Bear Stearns collapsed in spring 2008, and the loan was eventually
acquired by a Carmel Partners entity-CP III Rincon Towers, Inc.

Prior to the marketing of the loan for sale, Mr. Cohen tried to
negotiate a multiyear extension of the loan or to purchase it
himself at a steep discount, but he was unsuccessful.  Judge
Miller found that Mr. Cohen threatened to file and then filed this
lawsuit as part of a strategy to disrupt any sale of the loan.
During the marketing of the loan, Mr. Cohen's attorneys at
Greenberg Traurig LLP, in an attempt to dissuade bidding, wrote
threatening letters that would need to be disclosed to prospective
buyers.  Mr. Cohen's entities then made good on the threats by
filing this lawsuit in February 2010 and recording a lis pendens
on the property.

Manatt's Real Estate and Litigation groups worked together to
advise CP III on the validity of Mr. Cohen's claims, and Manatt
litigators in both San Francisco and New York represented various
Carmel Partners entities along with co-defendants and third party
witnesses in connection with the litigation after CP III purchased
the loan.

Manatt obtained summary judgment on the original claims in
September 2010, defeated plaintiffs' multiple attempts to enjoin
foreclosure and completed a non-judicial foreclosure of the
property in October 2010.  Since foreclosure, CP III has renamed
the property Carmel Rincon Luxury Apartments and conducted
significant renovations under management by Carmel Partners, Inc.

The court gave plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint several
times, however, such that the trial focused on a fifth amended
complaint, by which plaintiffs sought to regain the property along
with damages in excess of $40 million. In addition to Boies
Schiller and Greenberg Traurig, plaintiffs were also represented
in the lawsuit by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP and
Friedman & Atherton LLP.

At trial, Mr. Cohen contended that loan defaults had been
wrongfully declared and the lenders had interfered with his
ability to refinance the loan.  Mr. Cohen's attorneys fashioned
these allegations into claims for breach of contract, fraud, to
set aside foreclosure, slander of title, unfair competition, trade
secret misappropriation and accounting, but Judge Miller found
that that loan was in default as early as December 2008 and that
"Plaintiffs' claims are without merit."  Judge Miller ordered that
the lis pendens be expunged on January 23, 2013.

"This result demonstrates Manatt's significant litigation
capabilities," said Barry W. Lee, partner at Manatt, Phelps &
Phillips and lead trial counsel.  "We took a multifaceted approach
to the case, and with the support of our strong real estate
practice we were able to achieve overwhelming success.  The court
properly decided in our clients' favor across the board; we
prevailed on all counts."

Manatt's trial team was led by Barry W. Lee and Ann M. Heimberger
and included Lenard G. Weiss, Kimo S. Peluso, Christian E. Baker,
Christopher A. Rheinheimer and Amanda M. Knudsen, with litigation
support from Faye Stephenson, Demetrio Marquez and Patricia
Rivera.  Marv Pearlstein and Joshua Taylor of the Real Estate
Group also provided advice and support.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN: Failure to File 10-K Prompts Delisting Notice
---------------------------------------------------------------
Central European Distribution Corporation received a Staff
Determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of
The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on March 20, 2013, stating that the
Company was not in compliance with Listing Rules 5250(c) which
requires the Company to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.  This serves as an additional
basis to delist the Company's securities from the NASDAQ Stock
Market.  In January 2013, the Company received a delisting notice
for failure to hold its annual meeting of shareholders by Dec. 31,
2012.  The Nasdaq Hearings Panel will consider this matter in
rendering a determination regarding the Company's continued
listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

"If the Company wishes to request a stay to delisting beyond the
hearing currently scheduled for March 28, 2013, it must make the
request no later than March 27, 2013, together with an explanation
of why an extended stay is appropriate," the Staff noted.

The letter also stated that the Nasdaq staff do not believe that
any further stay is warranted because the Company is in default of
its 3% convertible notes due 2013 and is actively soliciting the
note holders to vote in favor of a plan of reorganization through
a filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.

The Company intends to request a stay to delisting.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN: Rejects Revised Proposal From Mark Kaufman
------------------------------------------------------------
The board of directors of Central European Distribution
Corporation received a revised proposal from a consortium
including A1 Investment Company, Dr. Mark Kaufman and the SPI
Group in respect of a restructuring of CEDC's financial
obligations.

The Board of Directors, together with its advisors, has reviewed
the terms of this revised proposal and the Board of Directors does
not believe that this proposal is competitive with the terms of
the proposal made by Roust Trading Ltd.

"[T]he consortium has resubmitted an almost identical proposal,
with marginally improved economic terms, that fails to address any
of the concerns previously raised," the Board noted.  In
particular, we would highlight that your proposal to pursue a pre-
arranged plan of reorganization while offering no consideration to
the RTL Secured Debt and the 2013 Notes instead of the pre-
packaged process CEDC has initiated raises significant feasibility
issues including by potentially significantly prolonging the
duration of any associated Chapter 11 proceeding ... that may, in
turn, stress CEDC's business operations and financial
arrangements."

CENVEO CORP: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating to $360-Mil. Loan Due 2017
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Stamford, Conn.-based
Cenveo Corp.'s proposed $360 million term loan B due 2017 a 'BB-'
issue-level rating (two notches above the 'B' corporate credit
rating on the company), with a recovery rating of '1', indicating
S&P's expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery for
debtholders in the event of a payment default.  The company
announced it plans to refinance it credit agreement with a new
$200 ABL revolving credit facility (unrated) and a new term loan
B. Cenveo Corp. is a subsidiary of Cenveo Inc.

S&P's rating reflects Cenveo's high leverage of 6.9x and thin
(13%) margin of compliance with its financial covenants as of
Dec. 31, 2012.  For these reasons, S&P considers Cenveo's
financial profile "highly leveraged" (based on S&P's criteria).
S&P views the company's business risk profile as "weak" because of
Cenveo's participation in the highly competitive and cyclical
printing business.  S&P expects ongoing pricing pressure from
industry overcapacity and S&P sees limited scope for margin
improvement.  In S&P's base-case scenario, it expects revenue to
decline at a low-single-digit percent rate in 2013 because of
pricing pressure and unfavorable secular trends impacting print
volumes, particularly in its journals and periodicals business.
S&P has not assumed a recovery in the direct mail business in its
projections.  S&P expects EBITDA will decline at a low- to mid-
single-digit percent rate because of its expectation of revenue
declines, which S&P believes the company will only be able to
partially offset with cost reductions.  S&P views Cenveo's
management and governance as "fair."

The negative outlook is based on S&P's expectation that revenue
will continue to fall as the company faces negative structural
trends and economic pressures.  S&P could lower the rating if weak
operating performance deteriorates, leading to declines in
discretionary cash flow, covenant headroom under 10%, and
tightening liquidity.

CHARLES STREET: Denies Post-Bankruptcy Mismanagement
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church
of Boston has been properly managed since the reorganization began
in March 2012, and the Chapter 11 case shouldn't be dismissed, the
church said in opposing the second dismissal motion lodged by
lender OneUnited Bank.

The report recounts that the bank and the church battled for years
before bankruptcy.  While the church is attempting to cram down a
reorganization plan not to the bank's liking, the lender is trying
to have the case thrown out of court.  The bank claims the church
has been grossly mismanaged and there isn't enough cash to pay the
expenses of the bankruptcy.  In response, the church filed papers
on March 27 arguing that financial mismanagement before bankruptcy
isn't grounds for dismissal.  Only mismanagement after bankruptcy
is a basis for dismissal, the church argues.

According to the report, the church says that alleged misuse of a
charitable grant occurred before bankruptcy.  About $23,000 that
was improperly used after bankruptcy was restored, the church
says.  Spending grants is the mission of the church, and doesn't
represent a loss of assets that would be grounds for dismissal for
a commercial business, according to the church.  Admitting there
were operating losses before bankruptcy, the church says there is
currently a stable operating budget.

Because almost every company in Chapter 11 records losses,
pre-filing losses can't be used as grounds for dismissal, the
church said.  The church filed for Chapter 11 protection to halt
foreclosure by the bank, which was owed about $5 million,
according to the church.

To decide whether the case should be dismissed, the bankruptcy
judge set the matter for a five-day trial beginning April 12.

                       About Charles Street

Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church --
http://www.csrrc.org/-- is located in Roxbury, Massachusetts.
The Church is to advocate for the needs of community residents and
to strengthen individuals, families, and the community by
providing social, educational, economic, and cultural services.

The Church filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Mass. Case
No. 12-12292) on March 20, 2012, to prevent its lenders, OneUnited
Bank, from foreclosing on a $1.1 million loan and auctioning off
the church.

The Debtor estimated both assets and debts of between $1 million
and $10 million.

The church is being represented by the Boston firm Ropes &
Gray LLP, which is also working for free.


COMMONWEALTH GROUP: Disclosure Statement Hearing Thursday
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee,
Northern Division, will convene a hearing on April 4, 2013, at
10:00 a.m., to consider the adequacy of the disclosure statement
explaining Commonwealth Group - Mocksville Partners, LP's Plan of
Reorganization.

Also to be heard on the hearing are objections to the Disclosure
Statement raised by the U.S. Trustee and lender PNC Bank, National
Association, as successor by merger to National City Bank.

The U.S. Trustee objected to the Disclosure Statement complaining
that it lacked adequate information on the Debtor's financial
information, the adequate protection payments to be made during
the bankruptcy, the nature of the tenant's leases, and any
information on preferences to be pursued.

PNC Bank complained that the Disclosure Statement failed to
provide an explanation for the circumstances giving rise to the
bankruptcy filing, failed to adequately disclose potential
payments to insiders and relationships to affiliates, fails to
specify administrative expenses that will be paid, does not
disclose or value potentially avoidable prepetition transfers from
the Debtor to an affiliate and insider, fails to analyze the
collectability of accounts receivable, and does not disclose what
happened to prepetition funds derived from the property rents.

Under the Plan, holders of unsecured claims less than $1,000 will
be paid on the effective date of the Plan.  Holders of unsecured
claims exceeding $1,000 and the Davis County secured claim will be
paid in equal monthly installments, beginning on the effective of
the Plan, with a final payment of the balance owing on the second
anniversary of the effective date.  Equity interest holders will
retain their interests.

The Debtor proposes to pay allowed claims in full, with interest,
from its operation of Mocksville Town Commons Shopping Center.
The Secured Claim of PNC Bank will be reduced by a $140,000
principal payment.  Monthly payments of $37,109 will be made
beginning on the first month after the effective date of the plan.

CUMULUS MEDIA: Hannan Assumes Principal Accounting Officer Role
---------------------------------------------------------------
Linda Hill, vice president, corporate controller and chief
accounting officer, is no longer an employee of Cumulus Media Inc.
effective March 22, 2013.  J.P. Hannan, senior vice president,
treasurer and chief financial officer, has assumed the
responsibilities of principal accounting officer for the Company.

                         About Cumulus Media

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

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $3.91 billion
in total assets, $3.51 billion in total liabilities, $118.23
million in total redeemable preferred stock, and $278.50 million
total stockholders' equity.

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

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

                           *     *     *

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

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

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 20, 2012, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed the B1 Corporate Family Rating of Cumulus Media.  The
company's B1 corporate family rating is forward looking and
reflects Moody's expectation that management will continue to
reduce debt balances with free cash flow resulting in net debt-to-
EBITDA ratios of less than 6.0x (including Moody's standard
adjustments, and treating preferred shares as 75% debt) over the
rating horizon, with further improvement thereafter consistent
with management's 4.0x reported leverage target.


CYPRESS OF TAMPA: Plan Mulls Giveback to CRH for Funding
--------------------------------------------------------
The Cypress of Tampa LLC, and The Cypress of Tampa II LLC, propose
a Plan of Liquidation dated Feb. 18, 2013, that contemplates a
consensual "giveback" to Cypress Retail Holdings, LLC of the
transferred property in exchange for CRH providing (a) full
satisfaction of all of CRH's claims against the Debtors and their
respective estates well as the assumption of certain liabilities,
(b) a pot of money derived from the carve-out of CRH's cash
collateral in the amount of $100,000 from which distributions to
certain Administrative Claimants and other Unsecured Creditors
will be made, and (c) a complete release of any and all claims and
causes of Action among CRH, the Debtors, and the Insiders.

According to the explanatory Disclosure Statement the Plan also
includes a "non-debtor release" of the Insiders by all other
creditors in exchange for a waiver of the insiders' rights to
distributions under the Plan, which will significantly increase
the pro rata share other Unsecured Creditors will receive under
the Plan.

A copy of the Disclosure Statement is available for free at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/THE_CYPRESS_OF_TAMPA_ds.pdf

The Debtors seek approval of a plan support agreement with CRH
which provides for lender's consent to the use of cash collateral
coupled with its consensual support of a proposed chapter 11 Plan.

The PSA will:

   a) resolve any claims and controversies between the Debtors and
      CRH regarding the use of cash collateral without the need
      for additional hearing or litigation;

   b) provide a framework of a consensual Plan that will be
      formulated and promptly filed;

   c) secure the lender's support for that Plan if proposed by the
      Debtors;

   d) resolve all claims and controversies asserted in the state
      court action; and

   e) provide a timeline for the successful conclusion of these
      Chapter 11 cases and the disposition of the Debtors' primary
      assets in a manner that will provide the greatest value to
      creditors.

DEMCO INC: Court Extends Exclusive Plan Filing Period Until Aug. 5
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Michael J. Kaplan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of New York granted Demco, Inc., an extension of
the exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization until Aug.
5, 2013, and solicit acceptances of that plan until Oct. 2, 2013.

In a filing dated March 11, 2013, the Debtor said that terminating
the exclusivity periods before the Debtor has an adequate
opportunity to resolve key issues affecting any proposed plan of
reorganization will frustrate the purpose of Bankruptcy Code
Section 1121.

The Debtor said that it has substantially scaled back its
operations as of the Filing, due to a shortage of cash flow and a
need to restructure its business.  As a part of this
restructuring, the Debtor undertook to assume and assign certain
contracts which it could not itself complete at the time, but
which could be completed profitably by others with the current
resources needed to do so.  The Debtor also rejected or consented
to the rejection of certain contracts which could not be
profitably completed, as originally bid, due to changes in the
market for recyclable scrap.

To reduce costs, the Debtor rejected its non-residential real
property leases for locations on Abbott Road in Buffalo, New York
and on Land Oak Road in Knoxville, Tennessee.

As of the filing of the Chapter 11 petition, the Debtor obtained
authorization to use cash collateral subject to liens of its
principal secured creditor, First Niagara Bank, N.A.  The use of
cash has been extended from time to time, with the consent of
First Niagara.

Working with First Niagara, the Debtor has sought to shrink its
existing inventory of equipment and to use the proceeds to pay
down its secured debt to First Niagara and to various equipment
lenders and lessors.  The Debtor has filed three motions seeking
to sell certain equipment and vehicles which were no longer needed
by the Debtor for not less than minimum prices.  The first two
equipment sales were already approved by the Court.

On Feb. 27, 2013, the Debtor filed a motion seeking authorization
to obtain up to $500,000 in DIP financing from National
Environmental Safety Company, Inc., which financing would enable
the Debtor to start work on new demolition and related projects.

The Debtor is also engaged in ongoing discussions regarding
potential recapitalization of the Debtor's business through either
new investments in the business or additional financing for the
business.

                         About Demco Inc.

Demco filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. W.D.N.Y. Case No.
12-12465) on Aug. 6, 2012.  Bankruptcy Judge Michael J. Kaplan
presides over the case.  Daniel F. Brown, Esq., at Andreozzi,
Bluestein, Fickess, Muhlbauer Weber, Brown, LLP, represents the
Debtor in its restructuring effort.  The Debtor estimated assets
and debts at $10 million to $50 million.  The petition was signed

creditors to serve on the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.

DIALOGIC INC: Incurs $37.7 Million Net Loss in 2012
---------------------------------------------------
Dialogic Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$37.77 million on $159.96 million of total revenue for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a net loss of $54.81 million
on $198.08 million of total revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $123.38
million in total assets, $141.22 million in total liabilities and
a $17.84 million total stockholders' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"If future covenant or other defaults occur under the Term Loan
Agreement or under the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving
Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Foothill Canada ULC (the
"Revolving Credit Lender"), the Company does not anticipate having
sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay the debt under these
agreements should it be accelerated and would be forced to
restructure these agreements and/or seek alternative sources of
financing.  There can be no assurances that restructuring of the
debt or alternative financing will be available on acceptable
terms or at all.  In the event of an acceleration of the Company's
obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement or Term Loan
Agreement and the Company's failure to pay the amounts that would
then become due, the Revolving Credit Lender and Term Loan Lenders
could seek to foreclose on the Company's assets, as a result of
which the Company would likely need to seek protection under the
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or its affiliates might
be required to seek protection under the provisions of applicable
bankruptcy codes."

       Has Until April 15 to Comply with Market Value Rule

As previously disclosed, the Company received a Staff
Determination Letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of
The NASDAQ Stock Market on Dec. 26, 2012, notifying the Company
that it had not regained compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(D) and that the Company's securities would be scheduled
for delisting from The NASDAQ Global Market and would be suspended
at the opening of business on Jan. 4, 2013, unless the Company
requested an appeal of Staff's decision to the Hearings Panel, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the NASDAQ Listing
Rule 5800 Series.  Accordingly, the Company requested a hearing
before the Panel; and appeared before the Panel at a hearing on
March 7, 2013.

On March 15, 2013, the Panel rendered its decision and allowed the
Company to continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Global Market,
subject to the condition that, on or before April 15, 2013, the
Company demonstrates to the Panel that it had regained compliance
with the Market Value Rule.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to regain compliance with the Market Value
Rule before April 15, 2013, or that it will be able to obtain a
further extension from the Panel if it had not regained compliance
by that date.

As previously disclosed, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dialogic
entered into a Third Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement with Obsidian, LLC, as agent and collateral
agent, and Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC, Special Value
Opportunities Fund, LLC, and Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V,
LP., as lenders.  In connection with the Third Amendment, the
Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Term
Lenders dated Feb. 7, 2013, whereby the Company agreed to issue to
the Term Lenders an amount of common stock equal to the market
value of 10.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company based on
the closing bid price immediately prior to that issuance as set
out in the Subscription Agreement.  On Feb. 7, 2013, a total of
1,442,172 shares of common stock were issued to the Term Lenders
under the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

Mr. Rajineesh Vig, a partner at an entity affiliated with the Term
Lenders, is a member of the Company's board of directors.  As
such, absent shareholder approval, the Staff determined that
Company's issuance of the Shares in connection with the Agreement
violated the shareholder approval rules under NASDAQ Listing Rule
5635(c).

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into a lockup agreement with
the Term Lenders whereby the Term Loan Lenders agreed, for a
period commencing on March 7, 2013, and ending on the date that
the stockholders of the Company approve the issuance of the Shares
to the Term Lenders pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, not
sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares, or vote or grant
any proxy with respect to any of the Shares at any meeting of
stockholders or by written consent for any purpose or action
during the Lock-Up Period.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Company also agreed that,
during the Lock-Up Period, the Company will not declare any
dividends or make any distributions to the Term Loan Lenders with
respect to the Shares.

On March 19, 2013, the Staff notified the Company that, based on
this corrective action, the Company had regained compliance with
the Rule and that the matter was now closed.

EAST END: 21 Water Wants Case Dismissal, Citing Bad Faith Filing
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Robert E. Grossman of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of New York will hold on April 2, 2013 at
2:00 p.m., a hearing on a motion seeking the dismissal of East End
Development LLC's bankruptcy case.

On March 11, 2013, 21 Water Street Holdings, Inc., a 50% interest
holder of the Debtor, sought the dismissal of the Debtor's case,
citing bad faith filing.  According to 21 Water, the filing was
intentionally crafted to avoid providing any notice of the instant
Chapter 11 filing to 21 Water.

21 Water stated that, among other things, the Debtor wasn't
authorized to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief because its
operating agreement required the prior consent of a majority of
its membership interests which the Debtor admittedly failed to
obtain.

EL FARMER: Access to Banco Popular Cash Collateral Denied
---------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brian K. Tester of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico has denied El Farmer Inc's request to use
cash collateral.  The Debtor failed to submit operating budgets
and provide a detail of the proposed usage of the funds.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 5, 2013, the
Debtor sought court authorization of a stipulation authorizing the
use of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico's cash collateral until
April 30, 2013.  The Debtor's indebtedness to Banco Popular de
Puerto as of the filing date is $11,694,429.  BPPR holds and
controls a commercial account into which all accounts receivables
of the Debtor are deposited by the Debtor's principal client,
Suiza Dairy, Inc.  The Debtor and the Bank have agreed on the
Debtor's continued use of cash collateral.

12-09687) in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico on Dec. 7, 2012.  The
Debtor scheduled $18.3 million in assets and $12.0 million in

ELPIDA MEMORY: Unsecured Creditors Appeal Micron-Backed Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Micron Technology, Inc. on March 29 noted that certain unsecured
creditors of Elpida Memory Inc. filed appeals in Tokyo on Friday,
March 29, of the Tokyo District Court's February 28 order
approving Elpida's plan of reorganization.  Elpida's
reorganization plan calls for Micron to sponsor Elpida's
reorganization under which Elpida will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Micron.  The Tokyo District Court's approval
followed an Elpida creditor vote, concluded on February 26, in
which the creditors voted overwhelmingly to approve the
reorganization plan.

"Elpida trustees and the court ran a very thorough and competitive
sponsor selection process before selecting Micron as the sponsor,"
said Micron CEO Mark Durcan.  "Their decision and plan of
reorganization was confirmed by the successful vote of the
creditors in February.  We are confident the Tokyo District
Court's approval of Elpida's reorganization plan will be upheld."

The closing of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of certain conditions -- including finalization of the
Tokyo District Court's approval order under Japanese bankruptcy
rules and recognition of Elpida's reorganization plan by the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (or
the completion or implementation of alternative actions providing
a substantially similar effect).  It is estimated the appeal
process of the Tokyo District Court's approval order will take
approximately three to four months.

Elpida Memory and its subsidiary, Akita Elpida Memory, Inc.,
filed for corporate reorganization proceedings in Tokyo District
Court on Feb. 27, 2012.  The Tokyo District Court immediately

respect to the company's assets absent prior court order.
Atsushi Toki, Attorney-at-Law, has been appointed by the Tokyo
Court as Supervisor and Examiner in the case.

EMISPHERE TECHNOLOGIES: Still in Default of MHR Convertible Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Emisphere Technologies, Inc. on March 28 disclosed that as of
September 27, 2012, the Company is in default under the terms of
the 11% senior secured convertible notes issued to MHR Fund
Management LLC and certain of its affiliates.  The default is the
result of the Company's failure to pay MHR approximately $30.5
million in principal and interest due and payable on September 26,
2012 under the terms of the MHR Convertible Notes.  The MHR
Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority lien in favor of
MHR on substantially all of the Company's assets.  The Company
continues to be in default under the terms of the MHR Convertible
Notes and, as a result of such default, MHR has the ability at any
time to foreclose on substantially all of the Company's assets.
On October 4, 2012, the Company received notice from MHR that, as
a result of the payment default, the default interest rate of 13%
per annum will apply with respect to the MHR Convertible Notes,
effective as of September 27, 2012.  To date, MHR has not demanded
payment under the MHR Convertible Notes or exercised its rights to
foreclose on the Company's assets as a result of the default, and
has continued discussions with the Company regarding proposals
relating to the default while reserving all of its rights under
the terms of the MHR Convertible Notes and related documents
securing the Company's obligations under the MHR Convertible
Notes.  No assurances can be given as to the outcome of such
discussions.

As of September 27, 2012, the Company is also in default under the
terms of certain non-interest bearing promissory notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $600,000 issued to MHR on June 8,
2010.  The default is the result of the Company's failure to pay
to MHR $600,000 in principal due and payable on September 26, 2012
under the terms of the 2010 MHR Notes.  As with the MHR
Convertible Notes, MHR has not demanded payment under the 2010 MHR
Notes, and has continued discussions with the Company regarding
proposals relating to the 2010 MHR Notes and the Company's default
thereunder while reserving all of its rights under the 2010 MHR
Notes.  There can be no assurances as to the outcome of such
discussions.

On October 17, 2012, the Company issued promissory to MHR
Institutional Partners IIA LP, MHR Institutional Partners II LP,
MHR Capital Partners Master Account LP, and MHR Capital Partners
(100) LP in the principal amount of $1,400,000.  The Bridge Notes
are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our
assets, and are payable on demand. As of the date hereof, MHR has
not demanded payment under the Bridge Notes.

As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate book value of MHR
Convertible Notes, the 2010 MHR Notes, and the Bridge Notes,
including outstanding principal and interest, was $33.6 million.

In December 2012, the Company received $1.5 million by
participating in the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer
Program, sponsored by the New Jersey Economic Development
Authority.  The Company anticipates that it will continue to
generate significant losses from operations for the foreseeable
future, and that its business will require substantial additional
investment that it has not yet secured.  As such, the Company
anticipates that its existing capital resources will enable it to
continue operations through approximately April 15, 2013, or
earlier if unforeseen events or circumstances arise that
negatively affect its liquidity.

Further, the Company does not have sufficient resources to develop
fully any new products or technologies unless it is able to raise
substantial additional financing on acceptable terms or secure
funds from new or existing partners.  The Company cannot assure
that financing will be available on favorable terms or at all.
Additionally, these conditions may increase the cost to raise
capital. If additional capital is raised through the sale of
equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such
securities would result in dilution to its existing stockholders.

While the Company's plan is to raise capital and/or to pursue
partnering opportunities, it cannot be sure that its plans will be
successful.  If the Company fails to raise additional capital or
obtain substantial cash inflows from existing or new partners
prior to April 15, 2013, or if MHR demands payment under the terms
of the MHR Convertible Notes, the 2010 MHR Notes or the Bridge
Notes or exercises its rights to foreclose on the Company's assets
as a result of the defaults, the Company could be forced to cease
operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.  Consequently, the audit
reports prepared by our independent registered public accounting
firm relating to its financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 include an explanatory paragraph
expressing the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern.  The Company is pursuing several courses of
action to address its deficiency in capital resources including
discussions with MHR, commercialization of its Eligen Oral B12
product, leveraging existing partnerships, and capital markets
financings.

The Company on March 28 reported financial results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company plans to
host a conference call in the future to provide a Company-wide
update on the status of the business.

               Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Emisphere reported net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per basic
and diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2012,
compared to a net income of $19.8 million, or $0.33 per basic and
$0.30 diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

The Company reported a fourth quarter 2012 operating loss of $2.2
million, compared to an operating loss of $2.3 million for the
same period in 2011.

         Year Ending December 31, 2012 Financial Results

Emisphere reported a net loss of $1.9 million or $0.03 per basic
and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared
to a net income of $15.1 million, or $0.27 per basic and $0.25 per
diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011.

                           Liquidity

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $1.5
million in cash, a net decrease of $1.6 million from December 31,
2011, approximately $34.7 million in working capital deficiency, a
stockholders' deficit of approximately $66.1 million and an
accumulated deficit of approximately $467.8 million.

suffered recurring losses from operations and its total
liabilities exceed its total assets.


EXCEL MARITIME: In Advanced Restructuring Talks with Lenders
------------------------------------------------------------
Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. on March 28 disclosed that the
Company is currently in advanced restructuring discussions with
its lenders under its syndicated credit facility, dated as of
April 14, 2008, which include amended amortization schedules and
extension of the facility's maturity.  While such discussions
continue, the Syndicate Lenders have agreed to forbear from
exercising their rights in connection with the principal
installments that have become due in the current fiscal year,
through April 30, 2013.  The Company's access to the escrowed
funds to fund its equity raising commitment has been similarly
extended to April 30, 2013.  The Company is in similar discussions
with its lenders under its bilateral credit facilities. To date,
the Company has not obtained a forbearance from its lenders with
respect to other, non-payment related, defaults under its
syndicated and bilateral credit facilities.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to reach an agreement with
its lenders and other creditors on such restructuring.  Also, the
ultimate accounting impact of the restructuring is unknown and
will be determined once an agreement on the final terms of such
restructuring has been reached.

In addition, three of the vessels that were employed on bareboat
charter have been redelivered to their respective owners for an
amount of up to $6.0 million payable in cash or in stock up to
December 2017, in the latter case at the market price on the date
of the stock's issuance in 2017.  The remaining four vessels that
were employed on bareboat charter have been redelivered to their
respective owners, with the claims of the parties being the
subject of arbitration.

second half and year Ended December 31, 2012, a copy of which is

      standards as of March 26, 2013; and

   2. NASDAQ Listing Qualification Staff approves the Company's
      application for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market within

ownership interest of a 4.9-percent Stockholder.  These transfer
restrictions are subject to certain exceptions, including an
exception for transfers approved by the Company's Board of
Directors and issuances by the Company.  The transfer restrictions
apply to transfers, or agreements to make transfers, made or
entered into between March 20, 2013, and such date as to be
determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Bylaw
Amendment.  Under Tennessee law, the transfer restrictions
contained in the Bylaw Amendment only apply to shares of the

FRIENDSHIP DAIRIES: Disclosure Statement Hearing Set for April 11
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas,
Amarillo Division, will convene a hearing on April 11, 2013, at
1:30 p.m., to consider the adequacy of the disclosure statement
explaining Friendship Dairies' Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

The Plan contemplates 18 classes of claimants: administrative and
priority claims accounting for three classes, secured creditors
accounting for 9 classes, unsecured creditors accounting for three
classes, equity holders accounting for one class, and contingent
claims accounting for two classes.

The Plan provides for payments to secured creditors on an
amortized basis corresponding to either: (a) agreements negotiated
between Friendship Dairies and the claimant or (b) terms and
conditions currently available in the financial marketplace for
loans of similar size, collateral type, and valuation ratios.
Administrative claims, priority claims, and unsecured claims are
paid from cash flow as funds become available from Friendship
Dairies' operations.  Provisions are made for the payment of
contingent claims if, or when, any such claims materialize.
Equity holders retain their current interest in Friendship
Dairies.

The core feature providing for the implementation of Friendship
Dairies' Plan is the conversion of its dairy herd from one
consisting of approximately 6,100 milk cows, 3,500 heifers, and
1,500 calves (total head approximately 11,200) to one milking
approximately 7,500 head, with approximately 675 heifers, and
1,400 calves (total head approximately 9,600).  At the
commencement of the herd conversion process, Friendship Dairies
will sell a substantial portion of its calves and most of its
young heifers.  The remainder of its calves will be sold over
several months.  The cash produced by these sales will be used to
purchase replacement heifers as needed based on the numbers of
springing heifers calving each month from the current dairy herd.
During the conversion process, Friendship Dairies should have
between approximately $400,000 (Months 3 and 4) and approximately
$1,000,000 (Month 6 onward) in extra working capital to help it
withstand unexpected cash flow demands occurring during this time.

Friendship Dairies filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Tex.
Case No. 12-20405) in Amarillo, Texas, on Aug. 6, 2012.  The
Debtor estimated assets and debts of $10 million to $50 million.
The Debtor operates a dairy near Hereford, Deaf Smith County,
Texas.  The dairy consists of 11,000 head of cattle, fixtures and
equipment.  The Debtor also farms 5,000 acres of land for
production of various crops used in feeding for the cattle.

The Debtor owes McFinney Agri-Finance, LLC, $16 million secured
by the Debtor's property, which is appraised at more than
$24 million.  The debtor disclosed $44,421,851 in assets and
$45,554,951 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Bankruptcy Judge Robert L. Jones oversees the case.  J. Bennett
White, P.C., serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The petition was
signed by Patrick Van Adrichem, partner.

The U.S. Trustee appointed a six-member creditors committee in the
Debtor's case.  The Committee tapped Levenfeld Pearlstein
as lead counsel, and Mullin, Hoard & Brown as local counsel.


FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS: Fitch Rates $750MM Sr. Unsec. Debt 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to Frontier
Communications Corporation's (NYSE: FTR) offering of $750 million
of 7 5/8% senior unsecured debt due in 2024. Net proceeds from the
offering, combined with existing cash on the balance sheet, are
expected to be used to repay existing debt. Frontier's Issuer
Default Rating (IDR) is 'BB+' and the Rating Outlook is Negative.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Fitch believes Frontier will be challenged to return revenues to
growth over the next two to three years, which is the principal
driver of the Negative Outlook. Business services and data
services revenues declined modestly in 2012; historically, local
exchange carriers have been able to grow these revenues and
mitigate the erosion of voice revenues on overall financial
performance. The company has efforts underway to spur business and
data services revenue, but uncertainty remains regarding the rate
at which management can improve operations. Revenues have also
been affected by the net effect of reforms to intercarrier
compensation. Finally, cost controls in 2013 are expected to
provide some offset to the continued revenue erosion, but savings
(a net $100 million) are smaller than the gains recognized through
2012 from acquisition synergies (which totaled approximately $653
million over the 2010-2012 period).

Modest Net Leverage Improvement Expected: In 2013, improvements in
Frontier's net leverage are likely to be modest. Other than a $503
million repayment of maturing debt in January 2013, further debt
reductions arising from maturing debt are not significant. Net
leverage in 2013 is expected to be flat with year-end 2012 at
3.2x, and decline to 3.1x in 2014.

Ongoing Competitive Pressures: Frontier's operations are showing a
slow and relatively stable rate of decline due to competitive
pressures and technological substitution; the lack of material
employment growth has hurt the recovery of business services
revenue. There is also sustained pressure from competition on
business revenues, particularly in the small business area. This
in turn has led to salesforce initiatives and expansion of
distribution channels (with an increase in costs). A key issue for
Frontier in 2013 will be to attract customers; churn levels of
existing residential customers have declined (a positive) and
revenues per residential customer have increased.

With the completion of the Verizon line integration, the company
states that it has realized $653 million of annual operating
synergies, much higher than the $500 million expected when the
transaction was announced. These synergies have enabled the
company to sustain its relatively strong margins - around 47% over
2011 and 2012 - in the face of strong competition.

Liquidity Solid: Supporting the rating is Frontier's ample
liquidity, which is derived from its cash balances and its $750
million revolving credit facility. At Dec. 31, 2012, Frontier had
$1.327 billion in cash; pro forma for a Jan. 15, 2013 debt
repayment, cash balances were still high at $824 million. Free
cash flow (FCF) was approximately $351 million in 2012, relatively
strong considering capital spending remained elevated due to
continued expansion of broadband availability. Not included in FCF
was $102 million of cash that was released from escrow accounts as
broadband buildout milestones were reached (escrow accounts were
required by regulators for regulatory approval). Fitch expects FCF
(net cash provided by operating activities less capital spending
and dividends) to be in the $330 million to $350 million range in
2013. Although lower EBITDA, higher interest expense and higher
cash taxes will reduce FCF, the effect is nearly offset by lower
capital spending and the elimination of integration and
acquisition related expenses (in 2012, $82 million of operating
expenses and $54 million of capital expenses) following the
completion of the Verizon line integration.

Frontier's expectations for 2013 capital spending range from $625
million to $675 million for its normal construction program plus
the tail end of broadband expansion spending, with the mid-point
down from the $748 million spent in 2012. In 2013, there will be
no spending on integration activities, as integration was
completed in 2012. The company has been spending capital on fiber-
to-the-cell tower projects, but expects this spending to wind down
in 2013. In 2013, cash taxes are expected to rise to a range of
$125 million to $150 million, up from a nominal $5 million in
2012.

Credit Facility and Debt Maturities: The $750 million senior
unsecured credit facility is in place until Jan. 1, 2014; Fitch
expects the company to renew the existing facility or put in place
a new facility during 2013. The facility is available for general
corporate purposes but may not be used to fund dividend payments.
The main financial covenant in the revolving credit facility
requires the maintenance of a net debt-to-EBITDA level of 4.5x or
less during the entire period. Net debt is defined as total debt
less cash exceeding $50 million.

The company has a $40 million unsecured letter of credit facility
maturing Sept. 20, 2013. The facility has no financial ratio
covenants, and other negative covenants are similar to those in
its existing facility. A letter of credit was issued to the West
Virginia PSC to guarantee capital expenditure commitments in the
state with respect to the acquisition of the Verizon lines.

Frontier has approximately $561 million of debt due in 2013 (of
which $503 million has already been repaid), $258 million due in
2014, and $733 million due in 2015.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Considerations for a Downgrade:

-- If the company's net leverage is 3.3x or above at year-end
   2013, and/or if the company does not succeed in generating
   positive revenue growth in business and data services, the
   rating would be downgraded.

Considerations for a Stable Rating Outlook:

-- Fitch would expect to see net leverage on a sustainable
   downward path, indicating progress in stabilizing EBITDA and
   reducing debt. In addition, the company's business services and
   data service revenues must demonstrate growth.


FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Rates $500MM Sr. Notes Due 2024 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' issue-level
rating and '3' recovery rating to Stamford, Conn.-based incumbent
local exchange carrier (ILEC) Frontier Communications Corp.'s
proposed $500 million senior notes due 2024.  The '3' recovery
rating indicates expectations for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of payment default.  The company intends to use the
net proceeds to repay debt.

The 'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on Frontier
remain unchanged.  Pro forma for this transaction, and a recent
debt maturity, leverage was slightly below 4x for 2012, but S&P
expects it to be above 4x for 2013, given that S&P thinks a low-
to mid-single-digit decline in EBITDA is likely.  This leverage
metric, coupled with the company's substantial dividend payout
policy, supports S&P's assessment of the company's financial risk
profile as "aggressive".  S&P considers the company's business
risk profile to be "weak," due to stiff competition from the
incumbent cable operators, which are bundling telephone with high-
speed data (HSD) and video services and increasingly targeting
smaller business customers.  Wireless substitution remains a
consistent pressure on the residential business, as well.

                     About Handy Hardware

Handy Hardware Wholesale, Inc., filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-10060) on Jan. 11, 2013.

Handy Hardware is engaged in the business of buying goods from
vendors and selling those goods at a discounted price to its
members for sale in their retail stores.  Handy Hardware, which
has 300 employees, is operating on a cooperative basis and is
completely member-owned, with over 1,000 members.  The Debtor's
warehouse facilities are located in Houston, Texas, and in
Meridian, Mississippi.  Trucking services are provided by Averitt
Express, Inc., and Trans Power Corp.  Its members operate 1,300
retail stores, home centers, and lumber yards.  The members are
located in 14 states throughout the U.S. as well as in Mexico,
South America, and Puerto Rico.

Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath oversees the case.  Lawyers at
Ashby & Geddes, P.A., serve as the Debtor's counsel.  MCA
Financial serves as financial advisor.  Donlin Recano serves as
claims and noticing agent.

A seven-member official committee of unsecured creditors has been
appointed in the case.


HANDY HARDWARE: Can Hire Haynes & Boone as Special Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------
Handy Hardware Wholesale, Inc., sought and obtained court
permission to employ Haynes and Boone LLP as special counsel.

Prior to the Debtor's bankruptcy filing, Haynes and Boone
represented the Debtor for approximately one year in connection
with various matters, including, but not limited to, the
Debtor's restructuring efforts and preparation to seek relief
under the Bankruptcy Code.  Although Haynes and Boone no longer
serves as the Debtor's reorganization counsel, Haynes and Boone
continues to represent the Debtor in certain litigation unrelated
to the Chapter 11 case, including: collection matters and
preference defense matters.  In addition, prior to the Petition
Date, Haynes and Boone provided extensive advice to the Debtor
concerning various labor laws and other labor and employment
matters.  Finally, Haynes and Boone has the requisite expertise to
advise the Debtor on corporate, finance and Texas real estate
matters that are likely to arise during the pendency of the
case including, but not limited to, general corporate governance
issues, tax and securities matters and plan-related corporate,
finance and real estate issues.

Thus, as special counsel, Haynes and Boone will be:

   a. representing the Debtor in connection with the Current
      Litigation matters, which are unrelated to the Chapter 11
      case;

   b. representing the Debtor in connection with Labor and
      Employment Matters, if any;

   c. providing general corporate governance advice, including but
      not limited to advice regarding plan-related corporate
      issues, tax and securities matters;

   d. providing advice regarding finance and Texas real estate
      matters; and

   e. performing all necessary services in connection with these
      matters, including, without limitation, preparing, or
      assisting in the preparation of, all necessary documents on
      behalf of the Debtor.

The range of standard hourly rates for the attorneys and
paralegals designated to represent the Debtor, as of Jan. 1, 2013,
are:

     Partners                 $550 - $825
     Associates               $310 - $450
     Other Attorneys          $450 - $600
     Paralegals               $200 - $285

Steven Buxbaum is the primary attorney responsible for matters in
the representation and his hourly rate is $790 per hour.

Haynes and Boone has been paid $722,476 through the day prior to
the Petition Date as compensation for services rendered and costs
incurred for the one year period prior to the Petition Date.
Prior to the Petition Date, Haynes and Boone received retainers in
the amount of $250,000 which was held by the Firm in its firm
trust account.  Prior to the filing of the Debtor's bankruptcy
petition, Haynes and Boone applied substantially all of the
Retainer against its fees and expenses for the period from October
13, 2011 through immediately before the filing of the Debtor's
petition.

The total amount of compensation and expenses to be paid to Haynes
and Boone will be no greater than the product of $15,000 and the
number of months between the bankruptcy filing and the earliest to
occur of (1) the effective date of a confirmed plan of
reorganization; (2) dismissal of the Chapter 11 case; and (3)
conversion of the Chapter 11 case to a Chapter 7 case.

Haynes and Boone qualifies as a "disinterested person" within the
meaning of sections 1 01(14) and 327 of the Bankruptcy Code.

HAYDEL PROPERTIES: Court Denies Banks' Motion for Case Dismissal
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Katharine Mr. Samson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Mississippi has denied the motions of Peoples
Bank, Biloxi Mississippi and BancorpSouth Bank to dismiss, or
convert to Chapter 7, Haydel Properties, LP's Chapter 11 case.

Peoples Bank and BancorpSouth are secured creditors of Haydel
Properties, each having made multiple loans to the Debtor secured
by various parcels of real property located in Harrison County
and/or Jackson County, Mississippi.

Peoples Bank and BancorpSouth filed their separate motions to
dismiss or convert to Chapter 7 in August of 2012, contending that
the Debtor failed to deposit funds in the cash collateral account
in the case of Peoples Bank or had failed to establish a
segregated cash collateral account in the case of BancorpSouth.
The banks alleged that the Debtor defied court order by failing to
deposit the rental income received from the properties and by
utilizing the cash collateral in an unauthorized manner.  The
Peoples Bank motion also alleged that the Debtor "is allowing real
property to be utilized by insider tenants while collecting no
rental from those tenants."

The Court, in an order dated March 11, 2013, said that it finds
that cause to dismiss or convert has not been established.
Neither the failure of the Debtor to collect rent from Haydel
family members, nor the failure to set up and fund cash collateral
accounts, rise to the level of gross mismanagement.  All
infractions have been corrected and the Debtor is collecting rent,
funding cash collateral accounts and has redeemed taxes.  The
banks are protected by a significant equity cushion.

                      About Haydel Properties

Haydel Properties LP, based in Biloxi, Mississippi, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Miss. Case No. 12-50048) on
Jan. 11, 2012.  Judge Katharine M. Samson presides over the case.
Christy Pickering serves as accountant.  The Debtor disclosed
$11.7 million in assets and $6.8 million in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.  The petition was signed by Michael D. Haydel,
manager of general partner.


HERITAGE CONSOLIDATED: Confirmation Hearing Continued to May 2
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas has
continued the hearing to consider confirmation of Heritage
Consolidated, LLC, et al.'s Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization to
May 2, 2013, at 1:30 p.m.

The confirmation hearing has been previously scheduled twice: on
Jan. 29 and on March 27.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, on Jan. 29, the
Court signed an agreed order continuing the confirmation hearing
because the Debtors, the Unsecured Creditors Committee, Railroad
Commission of Texas and the City of Midland and Federal Insurance
Company are negotiating a resolution of the issues and disputes
related to the environmental related claims asserted against the
Debtors.  Objections, if any, to the Plan and for submitting
ballots to accept or reject the Plan will be extended to a date no
later than seven days prior to the rescheduled confirmation
hearing.

The Second Amended Disclosure Statement in support of the Debtors'
First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization is designed to
accomplish two primary objectives:

    (a) formation of the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of
        Creditors and Equity Interest holders into which
        substantially all of the remaining assets of the Debtors
        will be transferred so that such assets can be held and
        disposed of in such a manner as to maximize their value
        for the benefit of Creditors and Equity Interest holders;

    (b) use of proceeds from the Liquidating Trust Assets to
        satisfy Claims in accordance with a waterfall mechanism
        for Distributions set forth in the Plan and the
        Liquidating Trust Agreement.

The Plan provides for all remaining assets of the Debtors (other
than the Excluded Assets) to be transferred to a Liquidating Trust
which will be managed by the Liquidating Trustee.  The initial
Liquidating Trustee will be selected by the Committee.  The
Liquidating Trustee will retain and have all the rights, powers
and duties necessary to carry out his or her responsibilities
under the Plan, and as otherwise provided in the Confirmation
Order and Liquidating Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the
Liquidating Trustee will obtain the consent of the Creditors'
Oversight Committee on any material decisions, as set forth in
more detail in the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement,
including, without limitation, obtaining unanimous consent of the
Creditors' Oversight Committee with respect to any Drilling
Operations.

The Plan classifies Claims against the Debtors into nine Classes
for purposes of voting on and Distributions under the Plan.  The
various Classes of Claims and Equity Interests and the treatment
provided under the Plan are:

HOMELAND ENERGY: Delays Filing of Financial Statements
------------------------------------------------------
Homeland Energy Group Ltd. on March 28 disclosed that it has
entered into heads of agreement with Joe Singh Group of Companies
(Pty) Ltd. pursuant to which the Purchaser will acquire a 100%
interest in the Kendal Colliery, including the wash plant and all
mining rights, through the purchase of all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Ferret Coal (Kendal)(Pty)(Ltd.).  The
total purchase price for the assets is ZAR235 million
(approximately $25.7 million). ZAR110 million of this amount has
been advanced. A further ZAR55 million is payable on May 31, 2013
and the balance of ZAR70 million will be paid on receipt of final
approvals from applicable regulatory approvals in South Africa.
As part of this transaction, African Spirit Trading 307 (Pty)
Ltd., Homeland's current BEE partner at Kendal, has agreed to sell
its 26% interest in Kendal to Homeland for transfer to the
Purchaser in consideration for the forgiveness of all loans owed
to Homeland and its subsidiaries and the payment of ZAR8 million
by Homeland.  The proceeds from the sale of Kendal will be used to
repay the balance of the loan from ICICI Bank, to repay all
outstanding third party obligations and to provide some working
capital during the transition phase.  The balance will be used to
reduce the outstanding obligations to GMR Energy Group Limited
("GMR") pursuant to loans advanced to the Corporation starting in
2010.

The sale of Kendal is subject to a number of conditions including
approval by applicable regulatory authorities in South Africa and
by the minority shareholders of Homeland.  Shareholder approval
must be obtained by June 30, 2013 and will be sought at the
upcoming annual meeting of shareholders.  The date of the meeting
is still being determined.  All conditions must be met by August
31, 2013. If the transaction is terminated, all advances against
the purchase price will be refunded.

Following numerous operational setbacks over the past two years
including flooding in the mine, the significant incidence of dykes
and sills in the coal seams, the discovery that the underground
workings in the E Block had been mined to a more significant
extent than had previously been indicated and the difficulties in
retaining a mining contractor on a cost effective basis,
management of the Company was of the view that positive cash flow
from operations would not be achieved in the short or medium term.
Rather than incurring further losses, the decision was made to
seek a buyer for the property who could more effectively conduct
operations as a result of economies of scale.  The Purchaser and
its affiliates are already active in the coal mining business in
South Africa.  Pursuant to the terms of the HOA, the Purchaser has
been retained to commence mining operations at Kendal effective
April 1, 2013.  All costs and liabilities associated with such
operations will be on the purchaser's account and the Purchaser
will be entitled to all revenue generated from such operations.

As a result of this transaction and the previously announced sale
of the Eloff Property, the Company no longer has any operating
assets.  All employees in South Africa are being terminated
effective March 31, 2013.

GMR has been very supportive of the Corporation historically and
continues to be so.  The Corporation is considering what options
are available to it at this time to preserve value for the
minority shareholders.

                Late Filing of Financial Statements

As a result of the timing of the execution of agreements with
respect to both the sale of Kendal and the sale of the Eloff
Property, Homeland may not be able to complete its financial
statements and accompanying management discussion and analysis and
annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the
"Financial Disclosure") which are due to be filed on or before
April 1, 2013 pursuant to relevant securities laws.  Additional
disclosures must be included in the Financial Disclosure which is
the cause of the delay.

The Company intends to work diligently to file the Financial
Disclosure as soon as possible and it has applied for a Management
Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 (the
"Policy") pending the filing of the Financial Disclosure on SEDAR.
The Company is confident that the Financial Disclosure will be
filed by no later than April 15, 2013.  The granting of an MCTO is
at the discretion of the Ontario Securities Commission and there
can be no guarantee that an MCTO will be granted.

If an MCTO is granted under the Policy, it will be imposed against
some or all of the persons who have been directors, officers or
insiders of the Company instead of a cease trade order being
imposed against all securities of the Company.  An MCTO would not
generally affect the ability of persons who have not been
directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade the
securities of the Company pending the filing of the Financial
Disclosure on SEDAR.

If the MCTO is granted, the Company intends to satisfy the
provisions of the Alternate Information Guidelines as set out in
the Policy for as long as it remains in default, including the
issuance of bi-weekly default status reports, each of which will
be issued in the form of a press release.

HOSTESS BRANDS: Ch. 11 Buyers Must Consider Labor Violations
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that as the result of an opinion last week from the U.S.
Court of Appeals in Chicago buyers of bankrupt businesses could be
obligated to pay workers for violation of federal labor law.  The
decision might affect the pending sales of newspaper publisher
Journal Register Co. and possibly also Hostess Brands Inc., the
baker of Wonder bread.

According to the report, Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner from
Chicago's Seventh Circuit handed down an opinion on the question
of whether purchasers of bankrupt companies can be held liable for
federal labor-law violations, even if the buyer disclaims
liability to workers for misdeeds by former owners.

Mr. Rochelle relates that depending on how Judge Posner's decision
is interpreted, and whether it's followed in other parts of the
country, the opinion might depress the value bankrupt companies
receive for selling their businesses as going concerns.  Judge
Posner's March 26 opinion lays down no bright-line test saying
when buyers are liable for prior owners' labor-law violations,
except to say there would have been no successor liability were
the case governed entirely by state law.  He did rule explicitly
that federal rules on successor liability apply to the Fair Labor
Standards Act, as with other federal labor laws.

According to the report, Judge Posner's case involved an operating
company placed into state receivership for liability on a
guarantee of a loan the lender made to the company's parent.  At
the behest of the bank, the receiver sold the company as an
operating business, generating enough to pay about a third of the
bank debt.  Employees previously had sued for overtime pay. After
the sale, the buyer was brought in as a defendant in the lawsuit.
The buyer agreed to settle by paying $500,000, if the district
court were to rule that the buyer was liable as successor for the
labor-law violations.  The district judge found liability, and
Judge Posner upheld the result, although on different grounds.

Judge Posner's opinion, the report notes, is chock full of
discussion on issues, known by lawyers as dicta, that weren't
necessary for the ultimate decision.  After surveying a plethora
of reasons why a buyer should or shouldn't be liable, Judge Posner
simply said "there is no good reason to reject successor liability
in this case."

Judge Posner was arguably persuaded to hold the buyer liable
because $500,000 was "modest" compared with the purchase price.
He also said in conclusion that the buyer would have been liable
had the business been sold before there was default on the bank
debt.  It is unclear whether Judge Posner's opinion will apply in
bankruptcy cases as opposed to receiverships, although he does
suggest that the ruling is applicable when companies are sold as
going concerns in Chapter 11.

One case that might be affected is Journal Register, a newspaper
publisher undergoing Chapter 11 reorganization in New York. Last
month, the bankruptcy judge said he would approve sale of the
business to current lender and owner Alden Global Capital Ltd.,
mostly in exchange for $114.2 million in secured debt and
$6 million in cash.  Dealing with successorship clauses in union
contracts, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart M. Bernstein ruled on
March 21 that Journal Register wasn't obliged to sell the business
while tying the buyer to the successorship clause, because the
union contracts were to lapse by their own terms before the sale
would be completed.  Judge Bernstein included a footnote where he
appeared to say he was expressing no opinion on the question of
whether the purchaser is independently obligated to comply with
labor law.  Unions could argue, as a result, that the buyer must
abide by the expired Journal Register contract until an impasse in
negotiations.  Judge Bernstein formally approved the Journal
Register sale on March 27.

Last month, the bankruptcy court in White Plains, New York,
approved sales of most of the Hostess businesses to several buyers
for more than $800 million. In that case, too, unions have argued
that the buyers are obliged by federal labor law to respect
expired union contracts as a consequence of successorship clauses.

The Posner opinion is Teed v. Thomas & Betts Power Solutions LLC,
12-2440, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Chicago).
The Hostess case is In re Hostess Brands Inc., 12-22052, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (White Plains).

HUNTSMAN CORP: Moody's Changes Ratings Outlook to Positive
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service moved the outlook of Huntsman
Corporation and its subsidiary Huntsman International LLC (HI) to
positive from stable. Moody's also affirmed each company's Ba3
Corporate Family Rating, along with all outstanding debt ratings
for Huntsman and HI.

The positive outlook reflects continued improvements across the
company's main product lines, even as its pigments business
retracts, along with the overall strengthening of its credit
profile. The positive outlook also reflects the $250 million of
balance sheet debt reduction in 2012 leading to expected stronger
credit metrics in 2013.

"The positive outlook reflects Huntsman's improving credit metrics
evidenced, in part, by the lack of sizeable near term debt
maturities until 2017," said Moody's analyst Bill Reed.
"Improvements in key end markets have helped bolster the company's
cash flow generation that may result in meaningful debt reduction
over the next 12-18 months."

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Huntsman Corporation

Outlook, Changed To Positive from Stable

Issuer: Huntsman International LLC

Outlook, Changed To Positive from Stable

Ratings Rationale:

The Ba3 CFR considers Huntsman's strong competitive position in
key businesses and significant competitive barriers, including
process know-how and the benefits of integrated world scale
production capabilities. The ratings are nevertheless tempered by
high leverage and relatively small amounts of free cash flow
generation after dividends at this point in the chemical cycle,
even after record EBITDA generation. Other concerns include the
company's ongoing exposure to rising prices in some feedstocks and
ores, and ongoing weakness in key end markets, notably housing and
geographically in Europe and Asia. Any improvement in the housing
or additional strength in the automobile markets would result in
further cash flow improvement.

In 2012, HI generated over $1.485 billion in adjusted EBITDA, a
record level for the company and Moody's expects a similar amount
for full year 2013. This level of EBITDA results in debt/EBITDA of
3.85x (adjusted for loans from Huntsman), a significant
improvement when compared to the 5.8x at the end of December 2010.

Going forward, Moody's expects that the company will continue to
generate reasonable levels of EBITDA and reduce balance sheet
debt, further strengthening HI's credit metrics and profile.
Additional support for the rating is based on management's public
statements they would like to see their unadjusted net debt
leverage at about 2 to 2.5 times on a normalized EBITDA basis.
Management's public statements in this regard have been consistent
over the last several years and they have indicated that they will
limit acquisition activity in order to hit those target levels. In
the 2011 and 2012 annual letter from the President and CEO, he
wrote that reducing debt remains a focus of the board and
management team based on the belief that less debt on the balance
sheet will enhance shareholder value in the long term.

Over 2012 some $250 million of debt at the HI level was paid down,
bringing balance sheet debt at HI to $3.7 billion and Moody's
would expect to see a similar amount or more repaid in 2013.
Moody's believes that both Huntsman's senior management and its
Board of Directors view strengthening the company's balance sheet
position by reducing debt as a very high priority.

HI's liquidity profile is good reflecting strong cash balances
($387 million at the end of December 2012 for both Huntsman and HI
combined -- with $210 at HI). Liquidity is further supported by
the prospect of stable cash flow, the size of HI's revolver at
$400 million, the extension of its bank credit facility maturities
to 2017 and the goal of management to maintain liquidity at close
to $1 billion in the form of cash, accounts receivable
securitization and revolver availability. The B1 rating on HI's
notes reflects their unsecured position in the capital structure.

The positive outlook reflects HI's improved credit metrics and.
should the company amortize between $200-300 million of additional
debt from free cash flow over the next 6 - 9 months while
maintaining leverage below 3.5x, Moody's could consider a higher
rating. Moody's would consider a negative rating action if EBITDA
on a quarterly basis is not sustained above $200 million level.
Finally, there would be negative pressure on the rating if a large
acquisition or a significant shareholder friendly action were to
meaningfully reduce cash balances and increase debt levels.

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

Huntsman Corporation is a global manufacturer of differentiated
and commodity chemical products. Huntsman's products are used in a
wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives,
aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and non-
durable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints
and coatings, power generation, refining and synthetic fiber
industries. Huntsman had revenues of $11.2 billion for the twelve
months ending December 31, 2012.


IMEDICOR INC: Incurs $4.6 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2012
---------------------------------------------------------
iMedicor, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$4.58 million on $595,506 of revenue for the year ended June 30,
2012, as compared with a net loss of $6.85 million on $438,122 of
revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $213,692 in
total assets, $8.13 million in total liabilities and a $7.92
million total stockholders' deficit.

Demetrius Berkower LLC, in Wayne, New Jersey, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 2012, citing significant losses
resulting in a working capital deficiency and shareholders'
deficit which raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

The Petitioning Creditors are party to the senior secured credit
Facility pursuant to which they (or their predecessors in

be used for general corporate purposes.  More than two years ago,
the Alleged Debtors defaulted under the Senior Secured Credit

accrued and unpaid interest and fees became immediately due and
payable on Feb. 13, 2010.

Inner City Media's affiliates subject to the involuntary Chapter

INVESTORS CAPITAL: Disclosure Statement Hearing Set for April 25
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Kentucky,
Bowling Green Division, will convene a hearing on April 25, 2013,
at 10:00 a.m. to consider the adequacy of the disclosure statement
for Investors Capital Partners II, LP's Plan of Reorganization.

The Plan contemplates the continued business operations of the
Debtor and the payment of all allowed claims to the extent
possible over a period of time from future income and revenue.  In
general, all Claims will be paid to the greatest extent possible
from the additional capital contributed by the holders of Equity
Interest and a portion of net profits for 5 years after the
Effective Date of the Plan.

Upon confirmation of the Plan, the rents generated from the
Reorganized Debtor's property, which are currently being collected
by PBI Bank, Inc., will be transmitted to the Reorganized Debtor
to be used to pay operating expenses, debt expenses, and other
expenses contemplated in the Plan.  PBI will no longer collect the
rents from the Reorganized Debtor's property and will ensure that
any rents received are promptly transmitted to the Reorganized
Debtor.  To the extent that the revenues from the Reorganized
Debtor's property are insufficient to pay operating expenses, debt
expenses, and other expenses contemplated in the Plan, limited
partners of the Debtor will infuse sufficient funds to pay those
expenses.

In the first 18 to 24 months of the plan, the Reorganized Debtor
will make interest only payments to its Secured Creditors.  The
Reorganized Debtor will use cash flow from this time period to
make tenant improvements to the approximately 7,000 square feet of
unfinished space.  Those improvements will allow the Reorganized
Debtor to rent out currently vacant space and increase its cash
flow.  The currently leased space will also be improved to
entice currently existing tenants to renew and/or extend their
leases.

The Debtor also intends to market and sell certain parcels of
improved land to third parties.  The sale of the improved land is
anticipated to commence in February 2015.  The proceeds of the
sales will either (i) be used to develop the existing property so
that it is ready for sale or (ii) be turned over to the Debtor's
secured creditors, subject to the terms of the Plan.

                      About Investors Capital

Brentwood, Tennessee-based Investors Capital Partners II, LP and
two affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. W.D. Ky. Case
Nos. 12-11575 to 11677) in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on Dec. 19,
2012.

ICP II estimated assets of at least $10 million and liabilities of
less than $10 million.  It owns a 35-acre commercial development
near Glasgow, Kentucky. The ICP II property is home to a Marquee
Cinema, Dollar Tree, and Aaron's Rents and also consists of seven
parcels of undeveloped land.

Debtor-affiliate Investors Capital Partners I, LP owns multiple
parcels of undeveloped land near Nolensville, Tennessee.
Investors Land Partners II, LP owns partially developed land,
consisting of six adjoining parcels of real property, near
Nashville, Tennessee.

In court filings, the Debtors said that their lenders have
attempted to foreclose against the assets of the Debtors, and the
Debtors have been unable to reach agreements with their lenders
that would allow the Debtors to reorganize their debts in an
orderly manner; thus, the Debtors have little option except for
the development of a joint plan to reorganize operations and
restructure debts for the benefit of all creditors and parties in
interest.

JOURNAL REGISTER: Ch. 11 Buyers Must Consider Labor Violations
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that as the result of an opinion last week from the U.S.
Court of Appeals in Chicago buyers of bankrupt businesses could be
obligated to pay workers for violation of federal labor law.  The
decision might affect the pending sales of newspaper publisher
Journal Register Co. and possibly also Hostess Brands Inc., the
baker of Wonder bread.

According to the report, Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner from
Chicago's Seventh Circuit handed down an opinion on the question
of whether purchasers of bankrupt companies can be held liable for
federal labor-law violations, even if the buyer disclaims
liability to workers for misdeeds by former owners.

Mr. Rochelle relates that depending on how Judge Posner's decision
is interpreted, and whether it's followed in other parts of the
country, the opinion might depress the value bankrupt companies
receive for selling their businesses as going concerns.  Judge
Posner's March 26 opinion lays down no bright-line test saying
when buyers are liable for prior owners' labor-law violations,
except to say there would have been no successor liability were
the case governed entirely by state law.  He did rule explicitly
that federal rules on successor liability apply to the Fair Labor
Standards Act, as with other federal labor laws.

According to the report, Judge Posner's case involved an operating
company placed into state receivership for liability on a
guarantee of a loan the lender made to the company's parent.  At
the behest of the bank, the receiver sold the company as an
operating business, generating enough to pay about a third of the
bank debt.  Employees previously had sued for overtime pay. After
the sale, the buyer was brought in as a defendant in the lawsuit.
The buyer agreed to settle by paying $500,000, if the district
court were to rule that the buyer was liable as successor for the
labor-law violations.  The district judge found liability, and
Judge Posner upheld the result, although on different grounds.

Judge Posner's opinion, the report notes, is chock full of
discussion on issues, known by lawyers as dicta, that weren't
necessary for the ultimate decision.  After surveying a plethora
of reasons why a buyer should or shouldn't be liable, Judge Posner
simply said "there is no good reason to reject successor liability
in this case."

Judge Posner was arguably persuaded to hold the buyer liable
because $500,000 was "modest" compared with the purchase price.
He also said in conclusion that the buyer would have been liable
had the business been sold before there was default on the bank
debt.  It is unclear whether Judge Posner's opinion will apply in
bankruptcy cases as opposed to receiverships, although he does
suggest that the ruling is applicable when companies are sold as
going concerns in Chapter 11.

One case that might be affected is Journal Register, a newspaper
publisher undergoing Chapter 11 reorganization in New York. Last
month, the bankruptcy judge said he would approve sale of the
business to current lender and owner Alden Global Capital Ltd.,
mostly in exchange for $114.2 million in secured debt and
$6 million in cash.  Dealing with successorship clauses in union
contracts, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart M. Bernstein ruled on
March 21 that Journal Register wasn't obliged to sell the business
while tying the buyer to the successorship clause, because the
union contracts were to lapse by their own terms before the sale
would be completed.  Judge Bernstein included a footnote where he
appeared to say he was expressing no opinion on the question of
whether the purchaser is independently obligated to comply with
labor law.  Unions could argue, as a result, that the buyer must
abide by the expired Journal Register contract until an impasse in
negotiations.  Judge Bernstein formally approved the Journal
Register sale on March 27.

Last month, the bankruptcy court in White Plains, New York,
approved sales of most of the Hostess businesses to several buyers
for more than $800 million. In that case, too, unions have argued
that the buyers are obliged by federal labor law to respect
expired union contracts as a consequence of successorship clauses.

The Posner opinion is Teed v. Thomas & Betts Power Solutions LLC,
12-2440, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Chicago).
The Hostess case is In re Hostess Brands Inc., 12-22052, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (White Plains).

KGB: Higher Financing Risks Prompt Moody's to Lower CFR to 'B3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded kgb's corporate family rating
to B3 from B2 and probability of default rating to Caa1-PD from
B2-PD. Moody's also upgraded the company's $90 million second lien
term loan due December 2013 to B2 from B3. The ratings outlook is
stable.

The downgrades reflect increased refinancing risk as the company
approaches the maturity of its second lien term loan on December
1, 2013. While Moody's believes that kgb is likely to generate
sufficient cash flow to repay the loan under the current credit
agreement terms, there is nevertheless a tangible risk that the
company fails to do so, thereby increasing the probability of
amending the terms of its existing debt under distressed exchange
terms, absent further shareholder support.

In Moody's view, the company has limited ability to refinance its
obligations in the capital markets on reasonable economic terms
due to the combination of on-going volume declines in the core
directory assistance business and cash losses from its other
segments over the past several years. The one notch gap between
the CFR and PDR underscores Moody's view that, in a deemed default
event, lenders could reasonably expect to realize an above-average
recovery based on the company's ability to generate cash flow over
the next couple of years to repay the outstanding obligations.

The downgrades also reflect the reduced flexibility afforded by
kgb's amended first lien revolver relative to Moody's original
expectations. The second lien repayment schedule specified by the
terms of the amended revolver has increased the risk surrounding
cash flow generation, relative to expectations set in October
2012.

The upgrade of the second lien loan reflects its more advantaged
position in the capital structure following the December 2012
repayment of the $60 million first lien loan and addition of the
$63 million subordinated shareholder loan commitment, as well as
the above-average expected recovery of the second lien loan in an
event of default.

Downgrades:

Issuer: kgb

  Corporate Family Rating, to B3 from B2

  Probability of Default Rating, to Caa1-PD from B2-PD

Upgrades:

Issuer: kgb

  $90 million ($125 million original amount) senior secured
  second lien term loan due December 1, 2013, to B2 (LGD2-28%)
  from B3 (LGD4-68%)

Ratings Rationale:

The B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects kgb's near-term maturity
risk and Moody's expectation of declining cash generation over the
next several years, driven by the structural decline in the core
directory assistance business and the highly competitive
environment of the kgbDeals and kgbCare segments. As a result of
these factors, Moody's does not view the current low debt/EBITDA
ratio in the high 1 times range as a pertinent credit driver.
Supporting the rating are the cash generating directory assistance
business, with reported #1 and #2 share in kgb's principal markets
in the UK, France, Switzerland and Ireland, demonstrated ability
to raise prices in those markets, and recent success in reducing
losses in the kgbDeals segment. Moody's estimates that recovery
rates for the overall debt structure would be relatively high in
an event of default.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations of modest year-
over-year improvement in earnings and cash flow, driven by lower
interest expense and projected improvement in the kgbDeals and
kgbCare segments.

The ratings could be downgraded if cash flow underperforms
expectations, or if Moody's comes to expect a higher probability
of failure to repay the second lien debt or lack of support from
shareholders in case of a cash shortfall.

The ratings could be upgraded if kgb fully repays the second lien
debt in a timely manner and addresses other near-term maturities.
An upgrade would also require strong and improving cash generation
throughout 2013.

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

kgb is a non-carrier provider of directory assistance services in
Europe and North America. The company generates the majority of
its revenue from branded telephone directory assistance calls in
Europe. A smaller proportion of revenue comes from the company's
directory assistance business in regulated North American markets,
predominantly from two large wireless customers that have
outsourced these calls to kgb, and also from outsourced call
center services and an internet-based daily deals site.


LAKELAND DEVELOPMENT: Plan Filing Period Extended Until April 11
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Richard M. Neiter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California has extended, at the behest of
Lakeland Development Company, the exclusivity period for the
Debtor to file a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement
through April 11, 2013.

The Court extended the exclusivity period, having seen evidence
that the Debtor is making progress in its efforts to reorganize
its affairs and that it filed a plan and disclosure statement by
Jan. 8, 2013, the date previously set by the Court, and its
progress in resolving its issues.

If the Debtor files a disclosure statement and amended plan by
April 11, the period of exclusivity will continue through
April 25.  If the Debtor seeks exclusivity for any period after
April 25, it will serve and file its new motion seeking that
relief not later than April 11.

                    About Lakeland Development

Santa Fe Springs, California-based Lakeland Development Company is
a privately held subsidiary in a family of companies headed by
Energy Merchant Corp.  Lakeland owns the real property located at
12345 Lakeland Road, Santa Fe Springs, California.  The real
property is composed of 10 parcels totaling roughly 55 acres.

Lakeland filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No.
12-25842) in Los Angeles on May 4, 2012.  Judge Richard M. Neiter
presides over the case.  Lawrence M. Jacobson, Esq., at Glickfeld,
Fields & Jacobson LLP, and The Law Offices of Richard T. Baum,
Esq., serve as the Debtor's counsel.  The petition was signed by
Michael Egner, chief financial officer.


LAKELAND DEVELOPMENT: Hearing on Cash Collateral Use on April 3
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Richard M. Neiter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California has set for April 3, 2013, at
10:00 a.m. the hearing on Lakeland Development Company's motion
for authorization to use cash collateral.

In a court order dated Feb. 26, 2013, the Debtor was allowed to
use cash collateral until April 25, 2013.

On March 8, 2013, the Debtor sought permission from the Court to
make payment from cash which may be the collateral of 12345
Lakeland LLC of those amounts of fees and costs sought by the fee
applications of Richard T. Baum and Glickfeld Fields & Jacobson
which are approved by the Court.  The grounds for the motion are
that the Debtor has an obligation to pay its professionals, has
cash on hand, and the interests of any claimant on the cash is
adequately protected.

At all hearings, 12345 Lakeland expressed its non-consent to the
use of the cash collateral for the payment of professional fees
and costs incurred in connection with the bankruptcy.  The court
specifically stated that cash collateral couldn't be used to pay
professional fees and costs without first obtaining an order
permitting this payment.  A first application for interim fees and
costs was heard on Nov. 14, 2012, and a similar motion to this
seeking use of cash collateral for payment of compensation was
made and granted by the Court.

As of Feb. 28, 2013, the Debtor had cash of $551,632 in the bank.
The Debtor said, "This is consistent with the Debtor's cash at the
time the first fee applications were heard is substantially more
than had initially been projected as part of the Debtor's budget
for cash collateral purposes."  The Debtor said that the increased
amount of cash which it holds over projections provides 12345
Lakeland with adequate protection of its interests.  The Debtor
doesn't concede that 12345 Lakeland has any interest in its cash
since the cash is not the product of rents, issues or profits
derived from use of the land upon which 12345 Lakeland has a
security interest.

The Debtor expects that it will close the sale of the 17 acre
parcels to Ridgeline Energy Services prior to the hearing, in
which case only $100,000 of the proceeds will be the cash
collateral of 12345 Lakeland. This would obviate the need for this
motion.

LIBERTY MEDICAL: Court Approves Greenberg Traurig as Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------
ATLS Acquisition, LLC, et al., entities that own the Liberty
Medical diabetics supply business, obtained approval from the
bankruptcy court to employ the law firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP
as counsel to the Debtors, nunc pro tunc as of their Petition
Date.

Greenberg Traurig has advised the Debtors that the current hourly
rates applicable to the principal attorneys and paralegals
proposed to represent the Debtors are:

    Professional                  Hourly Rate
    ------------                  -----------
    Nancy A. Mitchell                 $955
    Paul J. Keenan                    $630
    Dennis A. Meloro                  $570
    Matthew L. Hinker                 $515
    Paul T. Martin                    $470
    Doreen Cusumano                   $320
       (Senior Paralegal)
    Elizabeth Thomas (Paralegal)      $260

Other attorneys and paralegals will render services to the Debtors
as needed.  Generally, Greenberg Traurig's hourly rates are in the
following ranges:

    Professional                  Hourly Rate
    ------------                  -----------
    Shareholders                 $350 to $1,145

    Associates                   $130 to $725
    Legal Assistants/Paralegals   $65 to $335

Greenberg Traurig noted that because the firm is a large firm with
an international practice, Greenberg Traurig may currently
represent, or may have in the past represented, certain creditors
of the Debtors' estates or other parties-in-interest in matters
unrelated to the Debtors.  None of Greenberg Traurig's
representations of any of the parties-in-interest in the Chapter
11 cases accounted for more than 2% of Greenberg Traurig's
aggregate revenues during fiscal year 2011 or 2012 to date.

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge, the firm is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

MAKENA GREAT: Court Denies Confirmation of Third Amended Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Jacqueline P. Cox of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois last month entered an order denying
confirmation of The Makena Great American Anza Company LLC's Third
Amended Plan of Reorganization.

The Court, in its order, stated that the Debtor's Plan failed to
comply with the Bankruptcy Code Sections 1122(a), 1127(c) , and
the cram down requirements of Section 1129(b).

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 8, 2013,
Judge Cox also denied confirmation of a third amended plan of
reorganization in the bankruptcy case of GAC Storage Lansing, LLC.

In a Feb. 27, 2013, memorandum opinion available at
http://is.gd/U02XqQfrom Leagle.com, Judge Cox found that the
Debtor has not established by a preponderance of the evidence that
its Plan is feasible.  The Debtor presented no credible evidence
to support its contention that the Debtor will be able to finance
the nearly $8.2 million balloon payment to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
at the end of the 7-year plan, the Court held.

The Plan relies on highly speculative revenue projections, the
achievement of which are not supported by the evidence, Judge Cox
said.  The Court also found that the Debtor's cash flow
projections, which govern the rental payments under the Master
Lease, are overly aggressive and highly speculative.  "According
to the Bank's feasibility expert, if the Property fails to meet
its forecasted cash flow by 10%, it will lead to a substantial
deficiency throughout the Plan term. . . .  The evidence also
establishes that at the conclusion of the confirmation hearing,
the Debtor's sole tenant under the Master Lease Agreement, SE El
Monte, had yet to be capitalized."

The Court also found that the Debtor has failed to prove the
reasonable possibility of a successful reorganization within a
reasonable period of time.  "The Debtor's Bankruptcy Case has been
pending for over a year and the Debtor has been unable to propose
a confirmable plan of reorganization. Notwithstanding the length
of time since the Petition Date, the Debtor has yet to obtain a
letter of credit or make the cash deposit required by the Master
Lease," the Court narrated.

Finally, the Court found that the Debtor has failed to establish
that there is equity in the Property.  The parties do not dispute
the $8.1 million value of the Property, or the Bank's $12.4
million claim amount.  At that value level, and a claim amount of
$12.4 million, the Court determined that there is no equity in the
Property.

MARKET CENTER: Late Fee Unenforceable on Guarantors, App. Ct. Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny Lahave and Top Terraces, Inc., as guarantors, appeal from a
"court trial on stipulated facts" after a trial court entered
judgment in favor of Bank of America, National Association, as
successor by merger with LaSalle Bank National Association, in the
amount of $377,438.82.  The appellants ask the Court of Appeals of
California, Second District, to determine whether a late fee
consisting of 5% of the balance of a note constitutes a penalty
unenforceable as a matter of public policy under New Mexico law
against the Guarantors, notwithstanding their purported waiver of
any invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of the note.

In April 9, 1999, MCE Associates, LP -- the Original Borrower --
executed a deed of trust note in favor of PW Real Estate
Investments Inc. -- the Original Lender -- in the sum of $9.1
million.  In November 2002, Market Center East Albuquerque, LLC,
assumed the obligations of the Original Borrower, and Market
Center East Management Corporation, Chivas Retail Partners, LLC,
and Abitare Realty Corporation -- the Substitute Guarantors --
assumed the obligations of the Original Guarantor by executing a
consent and assumption agreement.  Effective Jan. 10, 2003, the
Note, Deed of Trust, Guaranty, and other loan documents were
assigned from the Original Lender to Bank of America through a
series of assignments.  In January 2006, Market Center East Retail
Property, Inc., as Borrower, assumed the obligations of Market
Center East Albuquerque, LLC, and Lahave and Top Terraces assumed
the obligations of the Substitute Guarantors by executing a
consent and assumption agreement.

The Borrower didn't pay the January 2009 monthly payment on the
Note and eventually filed for bankruptcy protection in April 2009.
Bank of America treated the bankruptcy filing as a trigger event
obligating the Guarantors for apply payments due under the Note.

Bank of America then filed a complaint for breach of guaranty.
The parties subsequently stipulated that the amount of the Late
Fee was $377,438 and that the issue to be adjudicated at trial is
if the late fee is enforceable against the Guarantors.  The trial
court ruled in favor of Bank of America in November 2011 in the
sum of $377,438.

On review, the Appellate Court concluded that the waiver is
ineffective because the late fee constitutes a penalty in
violation of New Mexico public policy and therefore is
unenforceable.  The Appellate Court reversed the judgment of the
trial court in a March 26, 2013 order, a copy of which is
http://is.gd/a64is0from Leagle.com.

Mr. Lahave and Top Terraces are entitled to costs on appeal, the
Appellate Court added.

MILLAR WESTERN: S&P Revises Outlook to Stable & Affirms 'B-' CCR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
Edmonton, Alta.-based Millar Western Forest Products Ltd. to
stable from negative.

"The outlook revision reflects our expectations that the U.S.
housing construction market will continue to improve and that
higher average lumber prices, compared with 2012, will result in
better profitability in the near term," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Jamie Koutsoukis.

Standard & Poor's also affirmed its 'B-' long-term corporate
credit rating on Millar Western, as well as its 'B-' issue-level
rating on the company's senior unsecured notes due 2021.  The '4'
recovery rating on the debt is unchanged.

The ratings on Millar Western reflect what Standard & Poor's views
as the company's "vulnerable" business risk profile and "highly
leveraged" financial risk profile.  The ratings incorporate what
Standard & Poor's considers the company's marginal market share in
the highly cyclical, fragmented, and competitive pulp and lumber
industries; competition in hardwood pulp from South American
producers; exposure to changes in volatile exchange rates; and
limited geographic diversity.  These weaknesses are partially
offset, in S&P's opinion, by the company's modern, efficient
assets, and high degree of fiber and energy self-sufficiency.

Millar Western is a small, privately held pulp and lumber
producer.  It operates three sawmills with a combined annual
capacity of 540 million board feet, and one pulp mill with an
annual capacity to produce 320,000 metric tons of bleached chemi-
thermomechanical pulp.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectations of Millar Western's
strengthening credit metrics in 2013 stemming from current
favorable lumber prices because of U.S. housing construction
growth.  S&P expects the company's earnings to improve and result
in a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of about 6x, in line with the current
rating on the company.  S&P also expects liquidity to remain above
C$45 million in 2013.  A negative rating action would occur if
lower profitability leads to negative free cash generation and a
liquidity position of about C$30 million, which would be less-
than-adequate under S&P's criteria.  A positive rating action in
the near term would require the company to demonstrate improved
profitability in the coming quarters resulting a debt-to-EBITDA
ratio of 4.0x-4.5x on a sustained basis.  The ratings are
constrained to the 'B' category by Millar Western's business risk
profile, including its small market position in the highly
competitive pulp and lumber industries, exposure to volatile pulp
and lumber prices and exchange rates, and limited operating
diversity.

MORTGAGES LTD: Court Dismisses Avoidance Suit Against Investor
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Randolph J. Haines dismissed a lawsuit commenced
by the Liquidating Trustee of Mortgages Ltd. to avoid alleged
preferential transfers to investors of the Debtor's Revolving
Opportunity program.  The defendants -- Craig A. Forte and Lauri
T. Forte, Trustees of the Forte Family Revocable Living Trust,
dated May 30, 2011, sought dismissal of the action.

The threshold issue is whether the confirmed plan of
reorganization released the preference claim against the Fortes,
or whether it adequately preserved that claim for assertion by the
Liquidating Trust.  In deciding for the defendants, the Court was
required to interpret the Plan's release provisions.

The case is, MATTHEW HARTLEY, LIQUIDATING TRUSTEE OF THE ML
LIQUIDATING TRUST, Plaintiff, v. CRAIG A FORTE AND LAURI T. FORTE,
TRUSTEES OF THE FORTE FAMILY REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST, DATED MAY 30,
2011, Defendants, Adv. Proc. No. 2:10-ap-01095-RJH (Bankr. D.
Ariz.).  A copy of the Court's March 28, 2013 Memorandum Decision
is available at http://is.gd/8Fp1sGfrom Leagle.com.

                        About Mortgages Ltd.

Mortgages Ltd. was the subject of an involuntary Chapter 7
petition dated June 20, 2008, filed by KGM Builders Inc. -- a
contractor for Grace Communities, a borrower of the company --
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.  Central
& Monroe LLC and Osborn III Partners LLC, divisions of Grace
Communities, sought the appointment of an interim trustee for
Mortgages Ltd. in the Chapter 7 proceeding.

Mortgages Ltd. faced lawsuits filed by Grace Communities and
Rightpath Limited Development Group for its alleged failure to
fully fund loans.  Mortgages Ltd. denied the charges.

The Debtor's case was converted to a chapter 11 proceeding (Bankr.
D. Ariz. Case No. 08-07465) on June 24, 2008.  Judge Sarah
Sharer Curley presided over the case.  Carolyn Johnsen, Esq., and
Bradley Stevens, Esq., at Jennings, Strouss & Salmon P.L.C.,
replaced Todd A. Burgess, Esq., at Greenberg Traurig LLP, as
counsel to the Debtor.  As of Dec. 31, 2007, the Debtor had total
assets of $358,416,681 and total debts of $350,169,423.

Mortgages Ltd. was reorganized pursuant to a plan that was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on March 20, 2009.  As part of
the Plan, ML Manager LLC was created to manage and operate the
loans in the portfolio.  The original investors for the most part
transferred their interests to 49 separate Loan LLC's.  A number
of investors, referred to as "pass through investors" did not
transfer their interests.  As part of the Plan, ML Manager took
out $20 million in exit financing to help keep the company afloat
during the reorganization.


MUNDY RANCH: Hearing Tomorrow on Bank's Bid for Ch. 7 Conversion
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Robert H. Jacobvitz of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Mexico will convene a final hearing on April 3,
2013, at 9:00 a.m., to consider the motion for relief of stay or
convert the Chapter 11 case of Mundy Ranch, Inc., to one under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Valley National Bank has filed a motion to convert Mundy Ranch's
Chapter 11 case to a Chapter 7 liquidation.

The Debtor objects and asserts that VNB alleges several "bad
faith" acts that it states are grounds for conversion, most of
which are grossly incorrect:

  a. VNB alleges that James W. Mundy acted in bad faith by
     transferring corporate assets to an ex-wife pre-petition as
     part of a divorce settlement.  This allegation is false.

  b. VNB alleges the Debtor is using the bankruptcy system to
     improperly gain a tactical advantage against Robert Mundy.
     This allegation is false.

  c. VNB alleges that the Jicarilla Apache Tribe made an offer to
     purchase the "Mundy Ranch" 5,500 acre property of the Debtor.
     VNB fails to mention that the offer was contingent on the
     Debtor providing mineral rights that it did not and does not
     own as part of the sale.  VNB also fails to mention, which it
     is aware, that the Debtor is actively pursuing one of two
     avenues to attempt to salvage the sale, through either a Sec.
     363(h) sale or by selling the property with only the mineral
     rights owned by the Debtor.

  d. VNB alleges that other parties have expressed interest in
     various tracts of Debtor's real property. This allegation is
     true, however "expressing interest" is vastly different that
     submitting an actual purchase offer.

  e. VNB mischaracterizes the Debtor's post-petition actions as
     "fail[ing] to take action to sell the Property." This
     allegation is false, as Debtor has worked continuously
     both pre- and post-petition to market its properties for
     sale.

  f. VNB states the Debtor has refused to act on purchase offers.
     This allegation is false and completely unfounded.

  g. VNB alleges the Debtor has "failed to accept the offer of
     the Tribe," yet is fully aware that there is no offer that
     could be accepted. This statement is dangerously close to a
     violation of Rule 9011(b)(1) and (3), as VNB and its counsel
     know that the Debtor could not simply accept the Jicarilla
     offer based on the contingency it contains, and have been
     kept appraised by the Debtor's counsel of the status of a
     possible sale and the Debtor's efforts in materializing it.

  h. VNB alleges the Debtor has had "ample opportunities to
     sell its properties," and that its failure to act on these
     fictional opportunities is bad faith and gross mismanagement
     of the estate.  The Debtor denies these allegations.

The Debtor also notes it has filed its Chapter 11 plan and
disclosure statement after the bank submitted its conversion
motion.

CMTI, an unsecured creditor with a scheduled claim of $190,191,
concurs with the Debtor's contentions that the case should stay in
Chapter 11.

NATURAL PORK: Exclusive Plan Filing Extended Until May 9
--------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Anita L. Shodeen of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Iowa has granted Natural Pork Production II,
LLP's request to extend its extend its exclusive period to file a
plan until May 9, 2013.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 5, 2013, the
Debtor said that there are two pending adversary proceedings in
the case that render it somewhat difficult to propose a plan at
this time, and that on Dec. 7, 2012, four wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Debtor filed their own individual Chapter 11
cases.  The Debtor says that while these cases are not currently
jointly administered with its case, serious consideration needs to
be given to the status and future of those cases, in connection
with its preparing and filing a disclosure statement and plan.

                        About Natural Pork

Hog raiser Natural Pork Production II, LLP, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Iowa Case No. 12-02872) on Sept. 11,
2012, in Des Moines.  The Company formerly did business as Natural
Pork Production, LLC.  It does business as Crawfordsville, LLC,
Brayton, LLC, South Harlan, LLC, and North Harlan, LLC.  The
Debtor disclosed $31.9 million in asset and $27.9 million in
liabilities, including $7.49 million of secured debt in its
schedules.

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL: S&P Affirms 'CCC+' Sr. Unsec. Issue Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it is affirming its
'CCC+' senior unsecured issue rating on Navistar International
Corp. (Navistar) after a proposed $300 million add-on to its
outstanding $900 million unsecured notes due 2021.  The issue
rating is two notches below the 'B' corporate credit rating on
Navistar.  The recovery rating on this issue is '6', indicating
that S&P expects negligible (0-10%) recovery in the event of
default.

The company will use the proceeds to pay down $300 million of the
existing $1 billion Navistar Inc. term loan. (Navistar Inc. is a
core subsidiary of Navistar, and Navistar guarantees the term
loan.)  The $700 million remaining balance of the term loan is
being refinanced and amended with new terms that S&P rated 'BB-'.
S&P will withdraw its rating on the $1 billion term loan once the
transaction closes.

The corporate credit rating on the Illinois-based truck maker
reflects, among other things, challenges in revamping its product
line, following the Environmental Protection Agency's rejection of
its proprietary engine technology; slowing industry and military
demand; and Navistar's substantial debt burden, including large
underfunded postretirement obligations.  Navistar's business risk
profile is "weak," and its financial risk profile is "aggressive."

NORTHLAND RESOURCES: In Default of Disclosure Obligations
---------------------------------------------------------
Northland Resources S.A. on March 28 disclosed that it expects the
Ontario Securities Commission will note the Company in default of
its continuous disclosure obligations under Ontario securities law
due to the Company not filing by April 2, 2013, its audited
financial statements and associated management discussion and
analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Since January 2013, Northland has faced serious liquidity issues.
During this period the Company has published its Q4 2012 unaudited
interim condensed financial statements.  However, since the
negotiations with potential investors are still ongoing,
management of the Company is currently not in a position to
evaluate the potential impacts of these negotiations on the Annual
Financial Statements and to finalize its assessment of the going
concern assumption.  As a result, the Company is not in the
position to file its Audited Annual Financial Statements and MD&A
by April 2, 2013.

The Company expects that the OSC will note that the Company will
remain in default until it files the Annual Financial Statements
and MD&A.  To that end and to rectify the Company's financial
situation, the Company is in the process of raising additional
financing outside of Canada.  The Company expects to have
completed the raise of additional financing and file the Annual
Financial Statements and MD&A by April 30, 2013.  This timing is
in compliance with the deadline for filing annual audited
financial statements under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act
and is also in compliance with the pan-European requirements for
financial reporting applicable to companies listed within the
European Economic Area, as set out in Transparency Directive
2004/109/EC and implemented in both Norway and Luxembourg.

Although the Company is still working on securing its long term
financing, the Company announced on March 22, 2013 that its bond-
holders and major suppliers agreed to provide a short term
financing totaling USD20 million, of which USD10 million comes
from the debt service account of the bond trustee, with an
additional USD10 million being provided as a bridge facility by
major suppliers.  The funding received is expected to allow the
Company to continue its operations at the present level and the
Company believes it will realistically be able to resolve its long
term financing solution during April 2013.

In the meantime, the Company has submitted an application to the
Canadian securities regulatory authorities pursuant to National
Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure
Defaults ("NP 12-203") requesting that a management cease trade
order be imposed upon the officers of the Company in lieu of a
general cease trade order in respect of the Company's continuous
disclosure default.

Subsequently, the Company intends to satisfy the alternative
information guidelines prescribed by NP 12-203 by issuing bi-
weekly default status reports in the form of news releases so long
as it remains in default of continuous disclosure requirements.

Northland is a producer of iron ore concentrate, with a portfolio
of production, development and exploration mines and projects in
northern Sweden and Finland.  The first construction phase of the
Kaunisvaara project is complete and production ramp-up started in
November 2012.  The Company produces high-grade, high-quality
magnetite iron concentrate in Kaunisvaara, Sweden, where the
Company will exploit two magnetite iron ore deposits, Tapuli and
Sahavaara.  Northland has entered into off-take contracts with
three partners for the entire production from the Kaunisvaara
project over the next seven to ten years.  The Company is also
preparing a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for its
Hannukainen Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") project in Kolari,
northern Finland and for the Pellivuoma deposit, which is located
15 km from the Kaunisvaara processing plant.


PARADISE HOSPITALITY: Court Confirms Chapter 11 Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Judge Erithe Smith of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California, Los Angeles Division, entered an order on
Feb. 6, 2013, confirming Paradise Hospitality, Inc.'s First
Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan will accomplish
payments under the Plan by its earnings from rental of the
Debtor's property.  The Debtor's revenue will be used to pay
secured property tax claims, pay RREF WB Acquisitions, LLC, pay
administrative claims and priority unsecured claims, with a

the Effective Date of the Plan, the Debtor anticipates refinancing
the loans held by RREF to satisfy claims in full.

In is anticipated that, on the Effective Date, the Debtor will

located in Toledo, Ohio and a retail shopping center in El Dorado,
Arkansas -- has closed already at that time, in which case it
anticipates having well over $1,000,000.

Under the Plan, general unsecured creditors will receive for their
allowed claims ($1,815,910) an amount equal to their allowed claim
paid in equal quarterly installments over 120 months.

Dae In Kim and Jane Kim each will retain their respective 50%
shareholder interest.

court in Texas in August 2011, alleging Penson overstated assets
and cash flow.  XL Specialty Insurance Co., the provider of
directors' and officers' liability insurance, agreed to settle the
suit by paying $6 million.  The auditor BDO Seidman LLP agreed to
kick in $500,000.

The report notes the settlement also must be approved by the
district court.

Penson is awaiting approval of disclosure materials explaining the
Chapter 11 reorganization. The company has been targeting a May 21
confirmation hearing for approval of the plan.  Apart from changes
being made at request of the committee, the liquidating Chapter 11
plan was negotiated before the January bankruptcy filing.

obtained permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to employ
Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Rafferty & Proctor, P.A., as
special counsel to pursue a claim filed against BP PLC arising
from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on Feb. 14, 2013, that
Jemison Mims, Jr., Esq., attested that the firm is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.  Alessi's will pay Levin Papantonio on a
contingency fee agreement as 20% of any amount received by
Alessi's through a settlement of the BP/Deepwater Claim, or 33% of
any amount awarded to Alessi's through a legal proceeding.

PHOENIX COYOTES: Darin Pastor-Led Investor Group Eyes Acquisition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Darin Pastor, founder and CEO of Capstone Affluent Strategies, has
formed an exploratory committee of seasoned investment bankers and
other related sports entertainment advisors in an effort to
acquire the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League.

Mr. Pastor has reached out to Mike Nealy, President, Chief
Operating Officer, and Alternate Governor of the Coyotes, directly
to express interest in purchasing the team.

"Hockey is in my DNA," Mr. Pastor said.  "My family has enjoyed a
love affair with the sport for over three generations.  When we
saw the prospect to get involved with the NHL and purchase the
Coyotes, it was like a dream come true."

A native of Buffalo, N.Y., Mr. Pastor has been around the sport of
hockey for his entire life.  In 1956, his grandfather and great-
uncles bought the Buffalo Bison Hockey Club when the previous
owner threatened to move the team, and under their guidance, the
Bisons improved dramatically, winning the Calder Cup in 1960,
1964, and 1970.  Buffalo's roster featured many future NHL stars
and quickly became one of the hottest tickets in the league, with
an average attendance of over 10,500 per game.  The Pastor family
sold the Bisons in 1971 shortly after the franchise joined the NHL
as the expansion Buffalo Sabres.

"If we have an opportunity to acquire the franchise, we will do
everything we can to make sure it stays in the great city of
Glendale and continues to enhance the Phoenix metropolitan area."

If approved by the league's Board of Governors, Pastor's group
would have controlling interest of the team and seek to keep the
franchise in Glendale.

The Coyotes have been run by the NHL the past three seasons, since
the team went into bankruptcy in 2009 under former owner Jerry
Moyes.  Despite their financial issues, the Coyotes have remained
competitive on the ice, reaching the Stanley Cup Playoffs each of
the past three seasons and advancing to the Western Conference
Finals for the first time in franchise history in 2012.

Capstone Affluent Strategies, a wealth management firm located in
Irvine, Cal., has an office in Phoenix as well as 11 other cities
and maintains a principle of supporting communities that serve its
clients.

                     About the Phoenix Coyotes

The Phoenix Coyotes -- http://www.PhoenixCoyotes.com-- are one of
30 teams that play in the National Hockey League.  The Coyotes are
based in Glendale, Arizona and play their home games at Jobing.com
Arena.  The Coyotes have qualified for the playoffs for the past
three years and in 2011-12, the team won the Pacific Division
title and reached the Western Conference Final for the first time
in franchise history. On the ice, the Coyotes are led by Captain
Shane Doan, goaltender Mike Smith and standout defensemen Keith
Yandle and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Off the ice, the club is a model
of consistency under the guidance of President & COO Mike Nealy,
General Manager Don Maloney (2009-10 GM of the Year), and Head
Coach Dave Tippett (2009-10 Jack Adams Award winner as the NHL's
top coach).


PRIVA SECURITY: Cyber Solutions Lawsuit Goes to Bankr. Court
------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Robert Holmes Bell referred Cyber Solutions
International, LLC's complaint for declaratory and injunctive
relief against Priva Security Corporation, Priva Technologies,
Inc., and Pro Marketing Sales, Inc., to the bankruptcy court
overseeing Priva's Chapter 11 case.  The District Judge said the
subject matter of the Plaintiff's complaint concerns competing
claims to the assets of Priva, whose Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization was recently confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Michigan.  The Plaintiff's complaint
raises numerous issues concerning the interpretation of the
Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan and the Design Service and
Intellectual Property License Agreement that was approved under
the Plan.  Issues of construction arise in conjunction with the
Plaintiff's claim that the License was not properly terminated,
and in conjunction with the competing claims of Cyber Solutions
and Pro Marketing to the second generation of SKSIC technology
created under the License.  Resolution of the Plaintiff's
complaint, according to the District Judge, also raises questions
concerning how best to protect unsecured creditors of the debtor.

"[The] bankruptcy court is most familiar with the parties to this
case, and also with the other parties who hold an interest in the
assets at issue in this case. In addition, the issues presented
are within the particular expertise of the bankruptcy court.
It would take significant time for this Court to familiarize
itself with the entire background of this case, and the Court
would never be sure whether its conclusions were consistent with
the understanding and intent of the bankruptcy judge who confirmed
the Plan. The bankruptcy court has the expertise, resources, time,
and personnel to attend to this matter and to clarify the rights
and responsibilities of the parties vis-a-vis the SKSIC
technology. The Court accordingly believes that referring this
case back to the bankruptcy court for further proceedings is in
the best interests of justice and judicial economy," said Judge
Bell in a March 27, 2013 Opinion available at http://is.gd/GJ6RAo
from Leagle.com.

The case is, CYBER SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, LLC, Plaintiff, v.
PRIVA SECURITY CORPORATION, et al., Defendants, No. 1:13-CV-202
(W.D. Mich.).

Priva Technologies, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr.
W.D. Mich. Case No. 11-12574) on Dec. 22, 2011, listing under
$1 million in assets and under $10 million in debts.  Bankruptcy
Judge Jeffrey R. Hughes presided over the case.  Joseph R. Sgroi,
Esq., at Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP, served as the
Debtor's counsel.

The Plan was confirmed on June 20, 2012, and became effective on
Jan. 2, 2013.  Priva went out of business within only a few months
after the Plan became effective.  On March 26, 2013, Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Priva Technologies, Inc. filed
a motion for conversion to Chapter 7.


PVH CORP: Warnaco Acquisition Won't Impact Moody's 'Ba2' CFR
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service stated there is no immediate impact on
PVH Corp's Ba2 Corporate Family Rating or stable rating outlook
following its issuance of revised expectations for the performance
of the recently acquired Warnaco business in its 2013 fiscal year.

PVH Corp (Ba2/stable) announced that it now expects the impact of
its acquisition of Warnaco Group, Inc., will have a dilutive
impact of approximately $0.25 per share in fiscal 2013, which
compares to PVH's initial expectations when it announced the
Warnaco acquisition in October, 2012 that Warnaco would be
accretive by approximately $0.35 per share.

"While the updated guidance indicates the challenges facing
Warnaco's business are more intense than initially expected, we
believe PVH has strong operational and integration capabilities,
evidenced by its previous successful acquisition integrations"
said Moody's Vice President Scott Tuhy. He added "We believe the
company has identified the relevant issues and will implement
strategies to address them."

PVH Corp., headquartered in New York, NY, owns several leading
apparel brands including Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen,
IZOD and Arrow. Following the company's February, 2013 acquisition
of Warnaco, pro forma revenues exceed $8 billion. The principal
methodology use to rate PVH is the Global Apparel Industry
Methodology published in May 2010.

QUALTEQ INC: Ch. 11 Trustee Wants FrankGecker as Conflicts Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fred C. Caruso, as the chapter 11 trustee in the chapter 11 cases
of Qualteq, Inc., d/b/a VCT New Jersey, Inc., and its affiliated
debtors, seeks court permission to employ FrankGecker, LLP, as
conflicts counsel.

The Trustee wants FrankGecker as his counsel to handle certain
matters that will not be handled by the Trustee's primary counsel,
Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, because, among other reasons, those matters
pose potential conflicts of interest or can be more efficiently
handled by FrankGecker.  In addition, FrankGecker's services will
include the analysis and, potentially, prosecution of objections
to fee applications submitted by professionals previously employed
by the Debtors and initiating causes of action against those
parties and others.  Specifically, FrankGecker's professional
services will include:

   a. Evaluation of issues related to services provided and fees
      and expenses charged by professionals during the Debtors'
      bankruptcy cases and litigation of any issues identified by
      that evaluation;

   b. Evaluation and objection to claims to the extent such
      matters raise a conflict of interest for primary counsel;
      and

   c. Other matters that may arise and which raise a conflict of
      interest for primary counsel.

The current hourly rates charged by FrankGecker are:

      Partners                       $690.00
      Counsel                        $425.00 - $450.00
      Associates                     $290.00 - $375.00
      Paraprofessionals              $145.00 - $175.00

To the best of the Trustee's knowledge, FrankGecker is a
"disinterested person" within the meaning of Section 101(14) of
the Bankruptcy Code, as required by Section 327(a) and does not
hold or represent an interest adverse to the Trustee or these
chapter 11 estates.

QUALTEQ INC: Ch. 11 Trustee Can Expand Bradford Dooley's Services
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fred C. Caruso, as the chapter 11 trustee in the chapter 11 cases
of Qualteq, Inc., d/b/a VCT New Jersey, Inc., and its affiliated
debtors, sought and obtained court permission to expand the scope
of the original retention of Bradford R. Dooley & Associates, to
provide tax advisory and financial reporting services for the
Debtors for the 2012 and 2013 tax years.

Dooley had been retained as independent auditor, accountant, and
tax advisor to the Trustee.  But the firm's engagement letters
only applied to services for the 2011 tax year.  Dooley will

and requested by the Trustee, including:

       function; and

   (c) responding to due diligence requests from potentially

       estates' real property interests.

Dooley will continue to bill the Trustee at the same standard
billing rate for professionals engaged in hourly services,
$100 to $175 per hour not to exceed fixed caps ranging up to
$4,900 per Debtor per tax year.

To the best of the Trustee's knowledge, Dooley is a "disinterested
person" within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy
Code, as required by section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

delivered to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of California a plan of reorganization that proposes to pay

of administrative and priority claims in full on the effective
date of the Plan with respect to any such claim unless otherwise

READER'S DIGEST: Restrictions Set on Securities Trading
-------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has authorized RDA Holding Co. and its
affiliates to establish notification procedures and approving
restrictions on certain transfers of interests in the Debtors.  As
a result, any acquisition, disposition, or other action in
violation of the procedures and restrictions will be null and void
ab initio as an act in violation of the automatic stay.

The Court found that the Debtors' net operating loss carryforwards
-- NOLs -- and foreign tax credit carryforwards -- FTCs -- and
certain other tax attributes are property of the Debtors' estates.
Unrestricted trading in equity securities of RDA Holding before
the Debtors' emergence from Chapter 11 could further limit the
Debtors' ability to use the Tax Attributes for purposes of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

REVOLUTION DAIRY: Wants to Use Cash Collateral Until July 31
------------------------------------------------------------
Revolution Dairy, LLC, Highline Dairy, LLC, and Robert and Judith
Bliss seek authorization from the Hon. R. Kimball Mosier of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah to use cash
collateral from April 1, 2013, to July 31, 2013.

The Debtors seek to use cash derived from the sale of milk and the
sale of surplus cattle and surplus feed, and encumbered by liens
in favor of Rabo AgriFinance, Delta Cache, L.L.C., Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, Intermountain Farmers Association, Western
Ag Credit, and Cargill, Inc.  Only Met Life and Rabo have
interests in the cash which require adequate protection.

Under current cash collateral orders, Met Life is receiving
adequate protection payments of $97,123 per month and Rabo is
receiving $150,000 per month.  This will continue through the
period for proposed use of cash collateral.

The Debtors also ask court to approve a form pre-payment purchase
agreement and approving priming liens granted to crop farmers, and
interim payments to accountants and attorneys.

Farmers of other crops will be paid advance payments of other
amounts, not exceeding $300/acre, depending on the type and value
of the feed crop grown.  Under the proposed Purchase Agreement,
the farmers will grant a security interest to the Debtors on their
growing crops to secure the advance on the purchase price of the
feed.  The Debtors will, in turn, assign this security interest to
Met Life and Rabo to the extent of the Debtors' use of their cash
collateral.  Met Life and Rabo will further be granted a
replacement lien in the feed that is purchased with the advance.

Under the proposed Advance Payment Agreement, the Debtors will
grant each of the farmers providing feed crops a lien on the crops
they deliver which will be superior to any other lien held by any
creditor of these jointly administered estates (except post-
petition vendors/farmers of similar comingled crops) and which
will secure payment for the crop in full.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 6, 2013, the
Debtors sought entry of an order which, among other things,
confirm the grant of administrative expense status to obligations
arising from postpetition delivery of goods, and authorize payment
of obligations arising from postpetition delivery of goods in the
ordinary course of business.  The Debtors said that absent the
relief requested, they may be unable to convince the many vendors,
many of whom are farmers and small businesses themselves, to
continue to support the Debtors' operations until a plan of
reorganization can be filed and confirmed.  On Jan. 31, the Court
authorized the Debtors' interim use of cash collateral to pay Judd
Harwood $100,000.  The Court scheduled a final hearing on the
Debtors' motion on Feb. 14, 2013.

In a court order dated Feb. 22, 2013, the Court allowed the
Debtors to continue using cash collateral until Feb. 28.

ROCHA DAIRY: U.S. Trustee Asks Court for Case Dismissal
-------------------------------------------------------
Gail Brehm Geiger, Acting U.S. Trustee for Region 18, has asked
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Idaho to dismiss the
Chapter 11 case of Rocha Dairy, LLC.

In a filing dated Feb. 26, 2013, the Trustee said that the case
has been pending approximately 21 months, but no plan has been
confirmed, causing unreasonable delay to the creditors.  The
Debtor filed plans of reorganization in April 2012, June 2012,
August 2012, and February 2013, but no plan has been confirmed.

According to the Trustee, there is a continuing loss or diminution
of the estate and the absence of a reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation, as evidenced by the Debtor's own statements.  The
Debtor's financial performance hasn't improved in the intervening
months.  Its January 2013 monthly operating report shows that
after 20 months of post-petition operations, its ending cash
balance was $6,151.  The Trustee said that the Debtor has been
unable to accumulate any cash which it will need to operate and
make plan payments.  The Debtor doesn't have cash on hand to pay
its attorney fees, accounting fees and it hasn't set aside any
money to pay the Unsecured Creditors' Committee attorney fees as
ordered by the Court.

The Debtor's cash flow problems have caused it to accrue post-
petition payroll tax liabilities, the Trustee stated.

S.R. BRAY: 7th Cir. Upholds $500,000 Judgment on Labor Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit are
appeals in two closely related collective actions for overtime pay
under the Fair Labor Standards Act.  The original named defendants
were JT Packard & Associates, the plaintiffs' employer, and
Packard's parent, S.R. Bray Corp.

Packard provided, and continues under its new ownership by Thomas
& Betts Corporation to provide, maintenance and emergency
technical services for equipment designed to protect computers and
other electrical devices from being damaged by power outages.  All
of Packard's stock was acquired in 2006 by Bray, though Packard
retained its name and corporate identity and continued operating
as a stand-alone entity.

The workers' FLSA suit was filed two years later.  Several months
after it was filed, Bray defaulted on a $60 million secured loan
that it had obtained from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
and that Packard, Bray's subsidiary, had guaranteed.

To pay as much of the debt to the bank as it could, Bray assigned
its assets -- including its stock in Packard, which was its
principal asset -- to an affiliate of the bank. The assets were
placed in a receivership under Wisconsin law and auctioned off,
with the proceeds going to the bank.  Thomas & Betts was the high
bidder at the auction, paying approximately $22 million for
Packard's assets.  One condition specified in the transfer of the
assets to Thomas & Betts pursuant to the auction was that the
transfer be "free and clear of all Liabilities" that the buyer had
not assumed, and a related but more specific condition was that
Thomas & Betts would not assume any of the liabilities that
Packard might incur in the FLSA litigation. After the transfer,
Thomas & Betts continued to operate Packard much as Bray had done,
and offered employment to most of Packard's employees.

In the FLSA suit, the district judge allowed the plaintiffs to
substitute Thomas & Betts Power Solutions, LLC, for the original
defendants, in view of its parent, Thomas & Betts Corporation's
purchase of Packard's assets.  The parent placed those assets in
Power Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary.  By virtue of the
substitution, Thomas & Betts is the entity against which the
plaintiffs seek damages for Packard's alleged violations of their
rights under the FLSA when Packard was owned by Bray.

Thomas & Betts objected to being substituted, and its objection,
rejected by the district court, is the sole basis of the appeal.
The district court had issued a final judgment for $500,000 in
damages, attorneys' fees, and costs, pursuant to a settlement
agreement that is conditional on the outcome of the appeal.

The appeal is captioned BRIAN TEED et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees,
v. THOMAS & BETTS POWER SOLUTIONS, L.L.C., Defendant-Appellant,
Case Nos. 12-2440, 12-3029 (7th Cir.).

On review, the Seventh Ciruit opined, "there is no good reason to
reject successor liability in this case -- the default rule in
suits to enforce federal labor or employment laws.  Packard was a
profitable company.  It went on the auction block not because it
was insolvent but because it was the guarantor of its parent's
bank loan and the parent defaulted.  Had Packard been sold before
Bray got into trouble, imposition of successor liability would
have been unexceptionable; Bray could have found a buyer for
Packard willing to pay a good price even if the buyer had to
assume the company's FLSA liabilities.  Those liabilities were
modest, after all. Remember that the parties have agreed to settle
the workers' suit (should we affirm the district court) for only
about $500,000, though doubtless there was initial uncertainty as
to what the amount of a judgment or settlement would be; in
addition, Thomas & Betts incurred attorneys' fees to defend
against the suit.  Nevertheless had Packard been sold before Bray
got into trouble, imposition of successor liability would have
been unexceptionable, and we have not been given an adequate
reason why its having been sold afterward should change the
result."

Accordingly, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the district court's
$500,000 judgment.  A copy of the order is available at

SAN DIEGO HOSPICE: Hiring Squar Milner as Accountants
-----------------------------------------------------
San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care Corporation has filed papers
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
California seeking permission to employ Squar, Milner, Peterson,
Miranda & Williamson LLP as accountants and consultants effective
as of Feb. 5, 2013.

The firm has a combined operating experience exceeding 75 years
(Squar Milner since 1981 and Peterson & Co. since 1951).

The firm will provide various services to the Debtor, including:

   a. analysis and consulting services regarding the Debtor's
      pre- and postpetition finances and accounting;

   b. assistance with document discovery and document production
      efforts and identification of critical documents and
      records; and

   c. assistance with preparation of the Debtor's bankruptcy
      schedule, statement of financial affairs and other
      bankruptcy-related schedules and documents.

The firm does not have a prepetition claim against the Debtor. The
Debtor paid all of the firm's invoices in full for the period from
Jan. 8, 2013 through Feb. 4, 2013:

   1. On Jan. 25, 2013, the firm was paid a retainer in the amount
      of $10,000 which was subsequently applied to its prepetition
      invoice for services rendered through Jan. 27, 2013.

   2. On Feb. 1, 2013, the firm was paid $12,928 representing
      payment in full of the remaining unpaid balance of $2,928
      on its Jan. 27, 2013 invoice, as well as an additional
      retainer of $10,000 for further services.  This second
      retainer payment was subsequently applied to an invoice
      billing for services rendered from Jan. 28, 2013 through and
      including the petition date of Feb. 4, 2013 in the amount of
      $4,065.

   3. The remaining balance of $5,935 represents a retainer for
      its postpetition services which will be applied against the
      firm's postpetition fees and expenses as allowed by the
      Court.

The firm's William H. Parker and Stacy Elledge Chiang attest that
the firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                      About San Diego Hospice

San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care Corporation filed a Chapter 11

Feb. 4, 2013.  The Debtor is the operator of the San Diego Hospice
and The Institute for Palliative Medicine, one of the largest
community-owned, not-for-profit hospices in the country.

The Debtor scheduled $20,369,007 in total assets and $14,888,058
in total liabilities.

Even before the bankruptcy filing, the Debtor has been under a
federal investigation, focusing whether it allowed patients to
stay in the program even when their diagnosis changed.  The Debtor
said that it will meet with government agencies to address their
concerns, explore partnerships with other health care
organizations, and work to restructure and resize San Diego
Hospice.  The Debtor said it has encouraged Scripps Health, the
region's largest provider of health care services, to enter the
hospice business.

Debtor.


SARALAND LLLP: AgGeorgia Wins Relief From Automatic Stay
--------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Susan D. Barrett granted the request of AgGeorgia
Farm Credit, ACA, for relief from the automatic stay in the
Chapter 11 case of Saraland, LLLP, a family partnership owned 100%
by Lister Harrell.  Judge Barrett said the Debtor has failed to
satisfy its burden under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 362(d) (2) and (g).  After
almost 12 months with no plan filed, given the evidence in the
case, the Court said it cannot conclude the Debtor has "a
reasonable possibility of a successful reorganization within a
reasonable time."

Saraland's main asset consists of 5,000 acres of timberland and
farmland.  The Debtor also owns some commercial real estate
located in Eastman, Georgia which is not part of AgGeorgia's
collateral.  He Debtor has acquired the acreage over a number of
years.

The 5,000 acres is a mixed use farm, approximately 1,700 of the
5,000 acres is AgGeorgia's collateral.  The Court noted that
AgGeorgia's collateral has not produced enough income to service
the debt that encumbers it.

AgGeorgia, Bank of Eastman, and Colony Bank are the Debtor's
secured lenders with combined secured debt of $5.2 million.  Each
secured lender holds a first lien on separate acreage within the
5,000 acres.  According to AgGeorgia's proof of claim, the Debtor
is indebted to AgGeorgia in the amount of $3,357,117.

The AgGeorgia collateral is worth approximately $2.2 million.

The Debtor's exclusivity period expired on July 27, 2012. To date,
no plan has been filed.

A copy of the Court's March 27, 2013 Opinion and Order is
available at http://is.gd/bRd39Tfrom Leagle.com.

Saraland, LLLP, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Ga.
Case No. 12-30113) in Dublin, on March 29, 2012.


SARALAND LLLP: Will Have Chapter 11 Trustee
-------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Susan D. Barrett granted the joint motion of
Colony Bank, AgGeorgia Farm Credit, ACA, and F & W Forestry
Services, Inc. for appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee to take
over management of Saraland, LLLP.  The Judge denied the Motion to
Convert to Chapter 7 filed by the United States Trustee.

Saraland opposed the conversion.

The Court noted that, as set forth at the hearing, there has been
gross mismanagement and a continuing loss and diminution of the
bankruptcy estate, as the proper chapter 11 operating procedures
have not been followed. Without Court or creditor approval, funds
of Saraland have been commingled with and used to fund the
separate chapter 11 cases of Paradise Farms, LLC, and the
individual case of Lister Harrell, Saraland's managing member. Mr.
Harrell testified and acknowledged and the operating reports
confirm, Saraland's funds also have been utilized to pay for Mr.
Harrell's personal expenses as well as the expenses of Paradise.
While Mr. Harrell testified he has now changed the Debtor's
internal financial procedures to better safeguard against these
events that does not rectify the damage already done under Mr.
Harrell's management and control.

Furthermore, the recent operating reports continue to reflect
expenses for automobiles the Debtor does not own or did not
disclose on its schedules as well as commissions being paid to
contract laborers whose employment has never been approved and
some payments to a purported insider, Sarah Harrell.  Furthermore,
Mr. Harrell's testimony reflects a lack of understanding and
competence in complying with chapter 11 procedures.  He stated he
did not know if Saraland owned any vehicles, and the Debtor's
schedules do not reflect any vehicles, yet the operating reports
show vehicle expenses being paid. There also is confusion on which
debtor owned the 1973 Camero and mobile home that was sold post-
petition and the proceeds given to Mr. Peek, who is Mr. Harrell's
personal attorney. Mr. Harrell has used approximately $83,000.00
in cash to convert Saraland's timberland to irrigated cropland
without secured creditor consent or Court approval. In August,
without prior Court approval, Saraland incurred debt in the amount
of $8,000 with a loan from Mr. Harrell. While no payments are
being made to its creditors, Saraland has paid dividends to Mr.
Harrell and paid for business travel and entertainment that did
not benefit Saraland.

Lastly, under Mr. Harrell's management, Saraland has not filed a
plan of reorganization.  Saraland, LLLP, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Ga. Case No. 12-30113) in Dublin, on March
29, 2012.  The exclusivity period expired July 27, 2012 and no
plan has been filed. Almost an entire year has passed without a
plan being filed.

Saraland's main asset consists of 5,000 acres of timberland and
farmland.  The Debtor also owns some commercial real estate
located in Eastman, Georgia which is not part of AgGeorgia's
collateral.  The Debtor has acquired the acreage over a number of
years.

STABLEWOOD SPRINGS: Files Chapter 11 Plan & Disclosure Statement
----------------------------------------------------------------
Stablewood Springs Resort, LP, and affiliate Stablewood Springs
Resort Operations, LLC, have a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization
that contemplates paying allowed claims from the proceeds of exit
financing, additional capital raised from internal and external
sources, and future sales of ownership interests in the Stablewood
Springs Resort.  The Debtors have obtained exit financing from
Alliance Prime Associates, Inc., and that exit financing will
allow the Debtors to continue operations while they launch the
revised business plan.

A hearing was scheduled March 27 but a ruling has not yet been
entered by the Bankruptcy Court.

According to the explanatory Disclosure Statement, in 2012, the
Debtors' management team decided that changing from a whole
ownership model to a fractional ownership model would increase
cash flow.  Under the Revised Business Plan, most of the Villas
will be sold as deeded fractional interests, which will afford
buyers unique benefits, including: (1) reduced expense and
maintenance costs, when compared to whole ownership; and (2) an
investment in, and access to, a secure, desirable, prestigious
vacation destination.  The average price per fractional interest
will be $65,000 or $866,667 per Villa, and the average
construction cost will be $266,300 per Villa -- yielding a 69.3%
gross margin.  The Debtors also plan to continue renting some
Villas, to the extent they are available, following a more
traditional hotel/resort rental model.

The Debtors also plan to raise additional capital through internal
and external sources, but revenues from fractional ownership
interests under the Revised Business Plan will become the main
source of revenue for the Debtors.  The exit financing will be
used to fully satisfy all secured claims, administrative claims,
and priority claims.  After allowed secured claims, administrative
claims, and priority claims have been paid in full, allowed
general unsecured claims, which include the claim made by the
Estate of Thomas Russell, which is disputed by the Debtors, will
be paid pro rata, from a $35,000 Distribution Reserve Fund created
for that purpose.  The Russell Estate may be given the option to
sell its claim to Alliance.

Under the Plan, claims that will be paid in full include those of
Alliance, Axys Capital Total Return Fund, L.L.C., Paul J.A. "Lex"
van Hessen, and Dell Financial Services, Inc.

By contributing material assets, Tom J. Fatjo, Jr., will retain
his interests, but the value of those interests is speculative.
Mr. Fatjo will release his liens in the adjacent properties
(consisting of the Waterfront Property, the Conservation Easement,
and the 195 Acre Tract Property), and make other contributions of
property used by the Debtors in a value sufficient to comply with
the absolute priority rule.

The $7,673,845 secured claim of David Jackson as Trustee for Tom
J. Fatjo, Jr., will be restructured and modified and, upon
confirmation, will be paid according to the terms of the parties'
agreements.

                  About Stablewood Springs Resort

Stablewood Springs Resort, LP, owner of a high-end resort
destination encompassing 140 acres of a 543-acre private ranch in
the Texas hill country near Hunt, filed a bare-bones Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No. 12-53887) in San Antonio on
Dec. 17, 2012.

The Debtor disclosed assets of $11.15 million and liabilities
of $22.8 million as of Nov. 30, 2012.  Liabilities include
$10.4 million in secured debt and $9.3 million of disputed secured
debt.


STANDARD PACIFIC: S&P Raises Sr. Unsec. Notes Rating to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its issue-level rating
on Standard Pacific Corp.'s senior unsecured notes to 'B+' from
'B' on improved recovery prospects.  S&P revised the recovery
rating on these notes to '3' from '5', indicating its expectation
that lenders would receive meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the
event of default.  S&P affirmed its 'B+' corporate credit rating
on the company.

"Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' ratings on Standard Pacific
reflect the company's "aggressive" financial risk profile, as
measured by elevated leverage metrics and low interest coverage,
though near-term debt maturities are modest and liquidity is
adequate," said credit analyst Matthew Lynam.  "We have revised
the company's business risk profile to "fair" from "weak" as
Standard Pacific's long land position in many of the strongest
U.S. housing markets and operating leverage from sector-leading
homebuilding margins leave the company well-positioned to
participate in the housing recovery, in our opinion."

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Standard
Pacific will continue to deleverage through sustained
profitability given its presence in the relatively stronger
California, Texas, and southwest homebuilding markets.  S&P could
consider positive ratings movement if profitability strengthens
faster than expected such that leverage improvements outpace its
projections and the company can balance maintaining adequate
liquidity while continuing to invest in land as the housing sector
recovers.  While less likely in the near term, S&P would lower its
rating if the housing market takes another sharp downward turn,
profitability weakens materially, and liquidity becomes less
than adequate.


STOCKTON, CA: Judge Declines to Dismiss Chapter 9 Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for Dow Jones Newswires, reports Bankruptcy
Judge Christopher Klein in Sacramento, California, on Monday
declined a request by the creditors of the city of Stockton to
dismiss the city's Chapter 9 bankruptcy case.  Judge Klein said
the city "will not be able to perform its obligations to its
citizens relating to such fundamental matters as public safety, as
well as other basic governmental services," without bankruptcy
powers.

Dow Jones says Judge Klein signaled Stockton might have to cut
payments to its pension fund, possibly setting a precedent for
other cities.  Dow Jones says bondholders and insurers of the city
could be left to swallow losses while pensions of city workers and
retirees remain intact.  According to Dow Jones, Stockton, which
had $700 million in bond debt and faced a $26 million annual
budget shortfall when it filed for bankruptcy, also could become
one of the first municipalities to use bankruptcy protection to
force bondholders to take less than the principal they are owed.


According to the report, Calpers Chief Executive Anne Stausboll,
in a statement, said Calpers will work to "protect and defend the
integrity and soundness of the pension plan" during the case.

The report also says Assured Guaranty Ltd., insurer of $161
million of Stockton's debt, said in a statement that the city's
current demands fall "short of the fairness requirements mandated
by Chapter 9."

"The next steps are to confirm a plan of adjustment through the
restructuring of our debt, begin the recovery process and move
Stockton forward," City Manager Bob Deis in a statement said after
Monday's ruling, according to Dow Jones.

                       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.


SUPERMEDIA INC: Bankruptcy Filing Prompts Delisting Notice
----------------------------------------------------------
SuperMedia Inc. received notice from The NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Staff stating that the Staff has determined that
the Company's securities will be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock
Market LLC.  The decision was reached by the Staff under NASDAQ
Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1 following the Company's
announcement on March 18, 2013, that it and all of its domestic
subsidiaries filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for
reorganization relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of title
11 of the United States Code.  Concurrently with the bankruptcy
petitions, the Debtors have filed and requested confirmation of a
prepackaged plan of reorganization.  The Prepackaged Plan seeks to
effect the proposed merger between the Company and Dex One
Corporation.

The Staff noted that it has reached its decision based on the
following factors:

   * The Filing and associated public interest concerns raised by
     it;

   * Concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the
     existing listed securities holders.  The Staff noted that
     while the Company believes that the Merger can be completed
     in 45 to 60 days, the emergence from bankruptcy is entirely
     contingent upon the approval of the Prepackaged Plan by the
     courts; and

   * Concerns about the Company's ability to demonstrate
     compliance with all requirements for initial listing on
     NASDAQ, specifically, due to the uncertainty of the approval
     by the courts, the Staff expressed concerns that the
     Prepackaged Plan cannot be approved in a timely manner.
     Furthermore, the Staff noted that as of the date of its
     letter, the Company has not submitted an application for
     initial listing on NASDAQ.

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rule
5800 Series, the Company has elected to appeal the Staff's
determination to the NASDAQ Hearings Panel.  Although there can be
no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for
continued listing, the request for the hearing will stay the
delisting of the Company's stock from the NASDAQ pending the
Panel's decision.

SUNTECH POWER: Court OKs Insolvency Proceeding for China Unit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., announced that the Wuxi
Municipal Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu Province, China,
has formally accepted the petition for the insolvency and
restructuring of the Company's Chinese subsidiary Wuxi Suntech
Power Co., Ltd..

The Court has appointed an administration committee, consisting of
local government representatives and accounting and legal
professionals, to administer the restructuring of Wuxi Suntech.
The insolvency and restructuring procedure are designed to
facilitate an orderly process for both Wuxi Suntech and its
creditors.  The primary goal is to restructure Wuxi Suntech's debt
obligations, while continuing production and operations.

Wuxi Suntech is the Company's principal operating subsidiary in
China engaged in the manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) cells and PV
modules.  Wuxi Suntech will continue operations through the
restructuring period.  Furthermore, the Company has additional
wholly owned or partially owned subsidiaries with cell and module
production facilities that continue to produce high quality solar
products to meet customer orders. Suntech and the administration
committee are committed to maintaining all of Suntech's product
warranty obligations.

Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., the ultimate parent company of
Wuxi Suntech, has not commenced insolvency proceedings, nor have
any of the Company's other principal operating subsidiaries.  The
Company is not aware of any similar proceedings regarding any of
its other entities.

                            About Suntech

Wuxi, China-based Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP)
produces solar products for residential, commercial, industrial,
and utility applications.  With regional headquarters in China,
Switzerland, and the United States, and gigawatt-scale
manufacturing worldwide, Suntech has delivered more than
25,000,000 photovoltaic panels to over a thousand customers in
more than 80 countries.

As reported by the TCR on March 20, 2013, Suntech Power Holdings
Co., Ltd., has received from the trustee of its 3% Convertible
Notes a notice of default and acceleration relating to Suntech's
non-payment of the principal amount of US$541 million that was due
to holders of the Notes on March 15, 2013.  That event of default
has also triggered cross-defaults under Suntech's other
outstanding debt, including its loans from International Finance
Corporation and Chinese domestic lenders.


TOUGHER INDUSTRIES: Court Rules on Tax Implication of Sale
----------------------------------------------------------
The purchasers of Tougher Industries Inc. and Tougher Mechanical
Inc.'s assets filed motions to clarify that the language in the
"free and clear" sale order relieved them of the debtors'
experience ratings as successor employers for purposes of
calculating their unemployment insurance tax liabilities.  The
bankruptcy court granted the relief by orders entered Feb. 24,
2010 and Aug. 2, 2010.

Now before the court is a motion by the State of New York
Department of Labor pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy
Procedure 9024 and Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure for reconsideration of the Clarifying Orders.  The DoL
requested that the court rescind the orders to the extent they
pertain to the unemployment insurance tax rates and liabilities of
the purchasers, Tougher Industries Enterprises LLC and Tougher
Mechanical Enterprises LLC.

TIE and TME contend that, pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order,
their purchase of the Debtors' assets did not make either of them
a "successor" to the Debtors and, thus, neither state nor federal
authorities may calculate or collect unemployment insurance tax
liabilities based on an "experience" rating linked to the Debtors.
TIE and TME argued that they purchased the Debtors' assets free
and clear of liens, encumbrances, and other interests and that a
vital part of the purchase and sale transaction was that they
would not be liable for any liens or interests of the Debtors, nor
would they be considered a successor to the Debtors.  TIE and TME
argue that the State's agencies, including the DoL, are bound by
the court's findings and decrees in the Sale Order, specifically
that TIE and its affiliates, including TME, have no successor
liability to the Debtors. Additionally, they assert the Tax
Injunction Act does not apply to this matter as they are not
seeking to enjoin, suspend, or restrain the State's collection of
taxes. To the extent the DoL seeks reconsideration of the Sale
Order, TIE and TME contend the request is untimely under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 60(c), applicable by Federal Rule of
Bankruptcy Procedure 9024.

While the DoL acknowledges that Sec. 505 of the Bankruptcy Code
permits the bankruptcy court to determine the tax liability of a
debtor, it asserts that TIE and TME are non-debtors. Thus, the DoL
argues the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to review TIE's
and TME's unemployment insurance tax liabilities based on their
payroll for periods subsequent to their purchase of Tougher's
assets. The DoL further argues that the Tax Injunction Act also
prevents the court from deciding this matter.  The DoL contends
that the position advanced by TIE and TME was addressed and
rejected by another court in this district.

At the conclusion of oral argument, the court found that the
Motions for Clarification filed by TIE and TME were not properly
served upon the DoL pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy
Procedure 7004 despite the fact that TIE and TME ultimately sought
to enforce the Clarification Orders against the DoL. Pursuant to
the court's instructions, the DoL submitted an Interim Order
vacating the Clarification Orders with respect to the DoL.

In a March 27, 2013 Memorandum-Decision and Order available at
http://is.gd/G0UAXZfrom Leagle.com, Bankruptcy Judge Robert E.
Littlefield, Jr., ruled that the right of the DoL to tax TIE and
TME, as successor to the Debtors, at the Debtors' experience
rating, is an "interest" in property of the bankruptcy estate, of
which the Debtors' assets could be sold free and clear of.  Thus,
the sale of the Debtors' assets to TIE and TME was free and clear
of the Debtors' experience ratings.  The Motion granted, the judge
said.

The DoL filed a priority claim in the amount of $160,629.17 for
unemployment insurance taxes incurred by Tougher Industries for
the first quarter of 2006 through the fourth quarter of 2006. The
Debtors have no other outstanding liabilities owed to the DoL.

           About Tougher Industries & Tougher Mechanical

Tougher Industries, Inc. filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
N.D.N.Y. Case No. 06-12960) on Nov. 3, 2006.  On Nov. 22, 2006,
upon motion of the United States Trustee, the court appointed Lee
Woodard, Esq., as Chapter 11 Trustee.

Tougher Mechanical, Inc. filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. N.D.N.Y. Case No. 07-10022) on Jan. 3, 2007.  An order was

the bankruptcy cases of Tougher Industries, Inc. and Tougher
Mechanical, Inc.

The Debtors operated a facility that designed and installed
commercial and industrial heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning systems, and provided services related to these
operations.

On June 14, 2010, the court issued an order converting the

the Trustee sold substantially all of the Debtors' assets outside
the ordinary course of business to Tougher Industries Enterprises
LLC and Tougher Mechanical Enterprises LLC.


TRAFFIC CONTROL: Committee's Plan of Liquidation Effective
----------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
case of Traffic Control and Safety Corporation, et al., notified
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware that the
effective date of its Plan of Liquidation for the Debtor occurred
Nov. 30, 2012.  The Committee won confirmation of the Plan on Nov.
8, 2012.  Under the Plan, GlassRatner Advisory and Capital Group
LLC will be the liquidating trustee.

                     About Traffic Control

Traffic Control and Safety Corporation and six subsidiaries filed
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 12-11287) on
April 20, 2012.  TCSC is the largest independent provider of
safety services and products in California and Hawaii.  Formed by
Marwit Capital Partners II, L.P., in June 2007, TCSC has 430 full-
time employees and serves state and local agencies, public works
organizations, general contractors, the motion picture industry,
and provide services at special events.

The Debtors have won authority to (i) use cash collateral in which
the First Lien Lender has an interest, and (ii) obtain
postpetition financing from Fifth Street Finance Corp. and other
entities in the maximum amount of $12,775,000.

The Debtors have canceled an auction with only their biggest
lender bidding for the assets.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed
five unsecured creditors to the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  The Committee tapped Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP as
its counsel and GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group LLP as its
financial advisor.


TRINITY COAL: Hearing Today on Credit Agricole DIP Financing
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky
will convene a hearing today, April 2, 2013, at 9:30 a.m., to
consider Trinity Coal Corporation, et al.'s motion to:

   1. enter into a Senior Secured Super-Priority DIP Credit
Facility with the Prepetition Lenders and Credit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent for the
Prepetition Lenders, which will consist of (a) a $15 million
senior secured superpriority DIP Revolving Facility for
loans to the Alleged Debtors offered under the DIP Revolving
Facility Documents, and (b) an LC Roll?Up Facility in an aggregate
face amount of approximately $49.3 million, rolling up and
committing to amend or extend and renew the letters of credit
issued pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Facility for the benefit
of certain sureties securing certain of the Alleged Debtors'
environmental reclamation obligations; and

   2. use cash collateral and all other collateral.

The Court has entered an interim order authorizing the Debtor to
obtain postpetition financing and use cash collateral.

As adequate protection from any diminution in value of the
lenders' collateral, the Debtor will grant the lenders replacement
liens in all of the borrower's and each guarantor's property, a
superpriority administrative expense claim status, subject to
carve out on certain expenses.

The summary of terms and conditions of the DIP Facility includes:

   Borrower:                   Trinity Coal Corporation

   DIP Agent:                  CACIB will act as administrative
                               agent for the DIP Lenders.

   DIP Lenders:                Lenders under the DIP Revolving
                               Facility will be a syndicate of
                               financial institutions, including
                               CACIB.

   Interim Borrowing
   Availability:               $5,000,000 of the DIP Revolving
                               Commitment and the LC Rollup
                               Facility will be made available to
                               Borrower from the date of the entry
                               of the Interim Order until the date
                               of the entry of the final order.

   Permanent Borrowing
   Availability:               Borrowings under the DIP Revolving
                               Facility will be limited by a
                               budget.  The borrowings under the
                               DIP Revolving Facility will not
                               exceed the DIP Revolving
                               Commitment, in each case, less
                               reserves as may be established by
                               the Required Revolving DIP Lenders
                               in their reasonable discretion from
                               time to time to reflect, among
                               other things, contingencies or
                               risks that may materially affect
                               the DIP Collateral, the liens of
                               the DIP Lenders in such DIP
                               Collateral or the business and
                               operations of the Debtors,
                               including, without limitation, a
                               reserve in the amount of the Post-
                               Termination Fee Carve Out.

   Termination Date:           The earliest to occur of, among
                               other things: (a) the Maturity
                               Date; (b) 15 days after the CRO
                               appointment date if the interim
                               order has not been entered; and(c)
                               45 days after the CRO appointment
                               date if the final order has not
                               been entered.

   Non-Default Interest Rate
   and Payment Terms:          Interest will be paid monthly on
                               all outstanding advances, accruing
                               at a per annum floating rate equal
                               to the sum of (a) the Base Rate,
                               plus (b) 8%.

   Use of Proceeds:            Proceeds of the DIP Revolving
                               Facility will be used solely for
                               these purposes: (a) to fund
                               postpetition operating expenses and
                               working capital needs of the
                               Borrower and the Guarantors; (b) to
                               pay interest, fees and expenses to
                               the Revolving DIP Lenders in
                               accordance with the DIP Facility;
                               and (c) to fund fees and expenses
                               incurred in connection with the 363
                               sale.

A copy of the terms of the DIP Financing is available for free at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/TRINITY_COAL_dipfinancingtermsheet.pdf

Samuel K. Crocker, U.S. Trustee, conveyed objections to the DIP
financing.  The U.S. Trustee stated that he doubts whether the
Debtor really has a going concern value that must be protected
with the financing, and the motion provided insufficient evidence
that the competing term sheet from Essar was clearly an inferior
proposal.

TW TELECOM: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating to $570MM Secured Facilities
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' issue-level
rating and '1' recovery rating to TW Telecom Holdings Inc.'s
proposed $570 million secured credit facilities, which consists of
an approximate $470 million term loan B and a $100 million
revolving credit facility.  The company will use proceeds to
refinance its existing comparably sized term loan, and the
revolver replaces an existing $80 million facility.  The 'BB-'
corporate credit rating and positive outlook on parent TW Telecom
Inc. and the 'BB-' issue-level rating on TW Telecom Holdings
Inc.'s senior unsecured notes remain unchanged.

The refinancing is modestly positive for the company's overall
financial risk profile because it extends the term loan maturity
by four years, will likely reduce interest costs, and provides
$20 million of additional liquidity in the form of a higher
undrawn revolving credit facility.  TW Telecom Inc. has a "fair"
business risk profile and "significant" financial risk profile.
S&P considers its 3.2x leverage and its about 30% funds from
operation (FFO) to total debt, both pro forma for anticipated
repayment in 2013 of convertible debt with an April 2013 put and
call option, to be at the strong end of the range for the rating.
The positive outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the company
will continue to increase revenue and EBITDA over the next year
because of its expanding product portfolio, long contract
durations, and large and diversified customer base.  S&P could
raise the ratings if it expected the company to reduce leverage to
below 3x on a sustained basis and maintain capital spending in the
$400 million area.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH: No Trustee at Least Until May
-----------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Universal Health Care Group Inc. remains in control
of its bankruptcy reorganization at least until mid-May, and the
sale of several subsidiaries won't be set aside.

The Company was authorized in March to sell five subsidiaries.
Before the sales could be completed, Florida regulators took over
two subsidiaries, prompting the buyer to reduce the $33.3 million
purchase price by $18 million.  An ad hoc group of shareholders
petitioned the bankruptcy judge to set aside the entire sale and
allow more time to market the remaining subsidiaries.  The
bankruptcy judge denied the request at a March 27 hearing.

According to the report, the U.S. Trustee filed papers seeking
appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or conversion of the case to
liquidation in Chapter 7.  He said there has been a "pattern of
dishonesty or gross mismanagement."

The judge scheduled a May 17 hearing to decide if there should be
a trustee or conversion of the case to Chapter 7.  The buyer is an
affiliate of CarePoint Insurance Co.  BankUnited NA, agent for the
lenders, is owed $36.5 million.  The bank was hoping the sale
would be completed before regulators took over.

                   About Universal Health Care

Universal Health Care Group, Inc., owns an insurance company and
three health-maintenance organizations that provide managed care
services for government sponsored health care programs, focusing
on Medicare and Medicaid.

Universal Health was founded in 2002 by Dr. A.K. Desai and grew
its operations of offering Medicare plans to more than 37,000
members to over 20 states.

Universal Health filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
M.D. Fla. Case No. 13-01520) on Feb. 6, 2013, after Florida
regulators moved to put two of the company's subsidiaries in
receivership.

Universal Health Care estimated assets of up to $100 million and
debt of less than $50 million in court filings in Tampa, Florida.

Harley E. Riedel, Esq., at Stichter Riedel Blain & Prosser, in
Tampa, serves as counsel to the Debtor.

US SHIPPING: S&P Assigns 'B-' CCR & Rates $220MM Sr. Sec. Loan 'B'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned a 'B-'
corporate credit rating to U.S. Shipping Corp.  The outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned a 'B' issue rating (one notch above
the corporate credit rating) to the proposed $220 million senior
secured term loan B, as well as a '2' recovery rating, indicating
S&P's expectations of substantial (70%-90%) recovery in a payment
default scenario.

"The ratings on U.S. Shipping reflect the company's highly
leveraged financial profile and substantial debt burden, narrow
market position in the competitive and capital-intensive shipping
industry given its small fleet of seven vessels, exposure to
cyclical demand swings, limited end-market diversity, and high
customer concentration," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Funmi Afonja.  Offsetting some of these weaknesses is the
company's strong charter coverage on its fleet of vessels with
creditworthy counterparties, and strong demand for domestic
transportation of oil and chemicals. U.S. Shipping also benefits
from competitive barriers to entry under the Jones Act.  The Jones
Act requires that shipments between U.S. ports be carried on U.S.-
built vessels that are registered in the U.S. and crewed by U.S.
citizens.  These requirements limit the competitive landscape by
excluding direct competition from foreign-flagged vessels.  U.S.
Shipping's entire fleet is Jones Act-qualified.  In accordance
with Standard & Poor's criteria, S&P characterizes U.S. Shipping's
financial risk profile as "highly leveraged," its business risk
profile as "vulnerable," and its liquidity as "adequate."  The
company does not publicly disclose financial information.

S&P's ratings factor in its expectations for a relatively stable
financial risk profile over the next two years, during which the
company will use a some of its increased earnings for drydocking
expenditures, which would limit its ability to paydown debt,
keeping credit measures close to current levels.  Thereafter, S&P
believes that the company's financial profile will gradually
improve, benefiting from revenues and earnings growth with strong
charter coverage from creditworthy counterparties.  S&P's base-
case scenario assumes modest capital spending primarily related to
vessel maintenance and drydocking, and mandatory prepayments as
required under the proposed financial agreement.  It also
incorporates S&P's expectation that credit metrics could vary,
depending on the effect of rate volatility on earnings and U.S.
Shipping's ability to keep its vessels engaged as contracts come
up for renewal.  S&P's base-case scenario generates the following
credit measures over the next two years:

   -- Debt to EBITDA (adjusted for operating leases) of 6x-7x;

   -- EBITDA to interest coverage of less than 2x; and

   -- Funds flow from operations to total debt in the low-single-
      digit percent area.

This is similar to debt to EBITDA of 6.9x, EBITDA to interest of
1.8x, and funds from operations (FFO) to debt of 8.6% for the 12
months ended Dec. 31, 2012.

U.S. Shipping is entering into a $220 million senior secured term
loan B and $50 million in subordinated secured debt (not rated),
both maturing in 2018.  The company will use proceeds to pay off
the outstanding balance under the existing $240 million senior
secured term loan and $60 million subordinated secured term loan,
both maturing in August 2013, and to cover transaction fees and
expenses.  Given the scale of this obligation, relative to the
company's operating and free cash flows, S&P believes this
refinancing helped the company avert another bankruptcy or
restructuring.  Absent such a refinancing, S&P believes that the
company would not have been able to meet the substantial
obligations coming due later this year.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that U.S. Shipping
will maintain its highly leveraged financial profile while still
achieving modest deleveraging due to increased revenues and
earnings from time charters that S&P expects will be renewed at
more favorable market rates and from vessels operating on the spot
market at favorable market rates.  S&P could lower the ratings if
it renews contracts at substantially lower rates or if spot market
rates decline, resulting in a material loss of earnings such that
debt to EBITDA is greater than 8x on a consistent basis or it
causes S&P to revise its liquidity assessment to "less than
adequate" or "weak".  Although less likely, S&P could raise the
ratings if a substantial debt paydown or significantly higher-
than-expected earnings cause debt to EBITDA to less than to 4.5x
on a sustained basis.


USG CORP: Lowers "Acquiring Person" Threshold to 4.9%
-----------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of USG Corporation approved Amendment No.
2, dated as of March 22, 2013, to the Rights Agreement, dated as
of Dec. 21, 2006, as amended, by and between the Company and
Computershare Investor Services, LLC, as rights agent
(predecessor-in-interest to Computershare Trust Company, N.A.).

Among other things, the Amendment reduces, until March 22, 2016,
the threshold at which a person or group becomes an "Acquiring
Person" under the Rights Agreement from 15% to 4.9% of the
Company's outstanding common shares.  The Rights Agreement, as
amended, provides that any stockholder whose beneficial ownership
as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 22, 2013, met or
exceeded 4.9% of the Company's then-outstanding common shares will

                        About USG Corporation

Based in Chicago, Ill., USG Corporation -- http://www.usg.com/--
through its subsidiaries, manufactures and distributes building
materials producing a wide range of products for use in new
residential, new nonresidential and repair and remodel
construction, as well as products used in certain industrial
processes.

The company filed for Chapter 11 protection on June 25, 2001
(Bankr. Del. Case No. 01-02094).  When the Debtors filed for
protection from their creditors, they disclosed $3.252 billion in
assets and $2.739 billion in liabilities.  The Debtors emerged
from bankruptcy protection on June 20, 2006.

For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net
loss of $125 million on $3.22 billion of net sales, as compared
with a net loss of $390 million on $2.91 billion of net sales
during the prior year.  The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31,
2012, showed $3.72 billion in total assets, $3.70 billion in total
liabilities and $19 million in total stockholders' equity
including noncontrolling interest.

                            *     *     *

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

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

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

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

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 5, 2012, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed USG Corporation's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating and Caa1
Probability of Default Rating.  USG's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating
reflects its high debt leverage characteristics, despite Moody's
expectation of improving operating performance.


VILLAGIO PARTNERS: Compass Care Can Hire Colliers as Broker
-----------------------------------------------------------
Compass Care Holdings, Ltd., a debtor-affiliate of Villagio
Partners, Ltd., sought and obtained court permission to employ
Colliers Appelt Womack, Inc. d/b/a Colliers International as its
real estate agent to assist in the marketing, negotiation and sale
of an unimproved portion of a real property located at 18315,
18321 and 18323 W. Lake Houston Parkway, Humble, Texas 77346.

The unimproved portion of the Property being marketed for sale is:
approximately 11.1033 acres of unimproved real property at RES A
BLK 1 ORLEANS SQUARE SECTION S, plus approximately 0.37139 acres
of unimproved real property at RES C BLK 1 ORLEANS SQUARE SEC 2.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 12, 2013,
Compass Care withdrew its motion for authority to employ Colliers
Appelt Womack, Inc. as broker, and a related motion to assume an
executory contract, without prejudice to re-file because, at the
Dec. 3, 2012 hearing on the Motion, the Court expressed concern
over the conflict arising under the Bankruptcy Code with the
Broker representing both the Debtor-seller and the proposed
buyer.  Specifically, the Court inquired how the Broker could be
"disinterested" under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 327(a).  To resolve the
Court's concern, Compass Care withdrew the Motion.

In its Amended Motion, the Broker will only represent the Debtor
in the potential sale of the Property.  The Broker is no longer
representing the prospective buyer, on an intermediary basis or
otherwise.  The prospective buyer subsequently employed Damon P.
Palermo of Palermo Real Estate Interests, LLC as its broker.
Additionally, the prospective buyer has been and continues to be
represented by competent real estate counsel in the potential
transaction.

The Court also authorized Compass Care to assume the prepetition
executory contract (Listing Agreement) with Colliers.  The
Broker's commissions are provided for pursuant to the terms of the
Listing Agreement.  Under the Listing Agreement, Compass will pay
the Broker sales commission that will be 6% of the gross sales
price.  A 5% fee will be paid on any joint venture arrangement.
The fee will be predicted on the gross equity raised, excluding
the land contributed to the project at cost of $6.00/S.F.

To the best of the Compass Care's knowledge and belief, the Broker
is "disinterested" pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 101(14) and does
not represent an interest adverse to the estate pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Section 327(a).

VIVARO CORP: Plan Filing Exclusivity Expires April 3
----------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York previously granted Vivaro
Corporation, et al.'s request to extend the exclusive periods for
the Debtor to file a Chapter 11 plan until April 3, 2013, and
obtain acceptances of that plan until June 3, 2013.

In a filing dated Jan. 2, 2013, the Debtors said that they
have devoted substantial time and effort to, among other
things: (i) obtainting DIP financing through extended credit
terms; (ii) preparing and filing extensive schedules and
statements of financial affairs; (iii) preparing and filing
monthly operating reports; (iv) obtaining authorization to retain
the Debtors' chief restructuring officer and investment banker;
obtaining authorization to implement a process to sell
substantially all of the Debtors' assets; and (v) engaging in
negotiations with the Debtors' DIP funders regarding a stand-alone
plan of reorganization.

The Debtors said that their cases are the size and complexity that
courts have recognized warrant reasonable extensions of the
Exclusive Periods.  The Debtors operate an international
telecommunications business which spans across the United States.
The Debtors employed hundreds of employees and independent
contractors across the United States.  As of the Petition Date,
the Debtors had outstanding unsecured debt obligations in the
aggregate amount of approximately $49,482,465.65.  The Debtors
scheduled hundreds of claims and, to date, there have been 167
proofs of claim filed against the debtors.

The Debtors retained an investment banker to guide their sale
efforts, and since the Petition Date, the Debtors and their
professionals have focused the majority of their time and
resources towards selling substantially all of their assets.

The Debtors have obtained DIP financing, and have engaged in
simultaneous negotiations with their DIP funders on a stand-alone
plan of reorganization.  The Debtors said that they and their
professionals, in consultation with the Committee, have made
significant progress in these dual track negotiations, and are
working expeditiously to secure the most-favorable transaction for
the Debtors' estates and their creditors.

The Debtors assured the Court that they continue to make timely
payments on their undisputed post-petition obligations.

VPR OPERATING: Oil & Gas Companies Seek Chapter 11 in Austin
------------------------------------------------------------
Austin, Texas-based oil and gas companies VPR Operating LLC and
three related entities sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. W.D.
Tex. Lead Case No. 13-10599) in Austin on March 29, 2013.

Lenders Delfinco LP and Victory Park Credit Opportunities LP and
Victory Park Management LLC as administrative and collateral agent
are providing financing for the Chapter 11 effort.

Privately owned VPR is an oil and gas company focused on acquiring
and developing assets in the domestic onshore basins of the United
States.  It has 53 producing wells, which generate revenue of
approximately $375,000 per month on average after royalty
payments.  VPR was founded in 2008, and maintains producing oil
and gas properties in Oklahoma and New Mexico.

The Debtors have tapped Patton Boggs LLP as general restructuring
counsel and Evercore Group LLC as financial advisor.

                     $98.2 Million in Debt

On the Petition Date, the Debtors had $83.3 million of outstanding
secured term and revolving notes. Approximately $33.4 million of
Revolving Notes are held by an unaffiliated third party capital
provider, while a small portion of the revolving notes,
$4.6 million, are held by a non-debtor affiliate.  All of the
$45.2 million term notes are held by two non-debtor affiliates.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors were indebted under a
subordinated promissory note (bridge note) $528,315.

The Debtors have a number of unpaid vendors as a result of their
inability, over the last few months, to pay creditors on a current
basis.  The Debtors estimate that, on a consolidated basis, there
is approximately $14.4 million in claims of unpaid vendors.

                      Road to Bankruptcy

In 2011, the Debtors began work on the "Harrier Well" located on
federal lands. Unfortunately, as a result in part of heightened
scrutiny on drilling activity brought on by numerous industry-
related factors including, without limitation, the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the federal permitting
process was both  more complicated and much slower than in years
past.

Given the Debtors' pressure to drill the Harrier Well to preserve
the underlying leases, and due to the shortage in available
drilling rigs, the Debtors had no choice but to hold the Pinpoint
Drilling & Directional Services, LLC drilling rig, paying a daily
rate, until the permitting process on the Harrier well was
complete and the well could be drilled.  That permitting process
took almost five months and resulted in substantial cost overruns
as a direct result of paying for an idle rig.

The Debtors faced additional challenges as a result of substantial
cost overruns related to completion of the Harrier Well.  Various
delays and missteps by contractors caused the drilling and
completion process to substantially exceed initial timeline and
cost estimates. As an example, one of the contractors working on
the Harrier Well, Gray Wireline Services, Inc., misfired twice
during the perforating process and caused two perforating "guns"
to be left in the wellbore, in effect, creating a blockage in the
wellbore.

The combination of increased costs and reduced production has
resulted in an accumulation of accounts payable by the Debtors.
While the Debtors were attempting to work through their financial
issues and bring the Harrier Well on line, the Debtors began
receiving demands for payment from various vendors, and in certain
instances, notices of lien filings by those vendors.

In January 2013, the Debtors engaged Evercore Group, an investment
bank, to assist the Debtors in assessing strategic alternatives
including a potential sale of some or all of the Debtors'
properties, a joint venture with a financial or strategic partner,
and/or incremental financing to alleviate the Debtors' financial
strain going forward.  Due to the mounting vendor pressure,
Evercore was pushing the strategic alternatives process on an
expedited time frame with valuation proposals due on April 9,
2013.

The Debtors, with the assistance of Evercore, were making good
progress in marketing the Debtors' assets when, on March 13, 2013,
Pinpoint sent a notice to Sunoco of Pinpoint's lien filing.
Pinpoint's actions resulted in Sunoco holding the Debtors'
production proceeds in suspense, which crippled the Debtors'
operations and forced the Debtors to seek bankruptcy protection.

                       First Day Motions

The Debtors have filed a variety of first day motions, which are
"necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the Debtors and is
critical to the Debtors' chances for a successful reorganization."
The Debtors are seeking to obtain financing, grant adequate
assurance to utilities, pay critical vendors, and pay employee
wages and benefits.

The Debtors are seeking joint administration of their Chapter 11
cases and designation of their cases as complex bankruptcy cases.

The Debtors seek to use cash collateral of the senior lenders and
propose to grant the prepetition lenders adequate protection in
the form of replacement liens and superpriority claims.  To the
extent usage of cash collateral will not be sufficient to sustain
their business operations, the Debtors seek to obtain $525,000 in
DIP financing on an interim basis and an additional $2.5 million
on a final basis.

The Debtors' schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of
financial affairs are due within 14 days of the Petition Date but
the Debtors are seeking a 16-day extension of the deadline to file
those documents.

The Debtors are seeking expedited consideration of the first day
motions.


VPR OPERATING: Wants to Pay Critical Vendor Claims, Royalties
-------------------------------------------------------------
VPR Operating LLC and its debtor-affiliates seek authority to
(a) pay or honor prepetition and postpetition oil and gas royalty
and other obligations; and (b) pay prepetition claims of certain
critical vendors.

The Debtors are obligated, pursuant to their oil and gas leases
and related operating agreements, to remit to the lessors of the
oil and gas leases and potentially other parties their share of
the production from the producing wells located on the respective
leases, free of expenses of production and to the owners of the
overriding royalty interests -- ORRI Owners -- the overriding
royalties -- ORRI.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors estimate owing approximately
$55,000 to the Royalty Interest Owners and ORRI Owners for current
royalty obligations.  The Debtors' obligations to Royalty Interest
Owners and ORRI Owners total $16,200 for the month prior to the
Petition Date.

In the ordinary course of their business, the Debtors purchase
goods and/or services from certain vendors or suppliers whose
continued, uninterrupted provision of such goods and/or services
will play a crucial role in maintaining the Debtors' ongoing
business operations and facilitating an orderly transition into
conducting their operations as debtors in possession.  The
critical vendors generally provide a variety of services relating
to the daily tasks associated with maintaining continuous
production from the Debtors' oil and gas wells.

Following careful consideration of each of their vendors, from
their population of hundreds of prepetition vendors, the Debtors
identified a small subset of approximately 25 vendors that would
qualify as Critical Vendors.  The aggregate amount of obligations
owed to the Debtors' Critical Vendors as of the Petition Date is
approximately $200,000, and the average outstanding balance owed
to each Critical Vendor as of the Petition Date is fairly small,
approximately $10,500, with only two such vendors being owed more
than $25,000.

In an effort to ensure that the payment of each Critical Vendor
claim provides the Debtors with a benefit to their estates, the
Debtors may request that any Critical Vendor receiving payment be
required, to the extent applicable, to execute an agreement
whereby it agrees to provide the Debtors with (i) the continuance
of the parties' existing business relationship; (ii) other
business terms on a postpetition basis consistent with past
practices, including the pricing of goods and services and the
provision of equivalent levels of service, on terms at least as
favorable as those extended in the normal course prior to the
Petition Date, or on such other terms that are acceptable to the
Debtors; and (iii) the release to the Debtors of goods or other
assets of the Debtors in the Critical Vendor's possession.

VPR OPERATING: Seeks to Access Cash Collateral, DIP Financing
-------------------------------------------------------------
VPR Operating LLC and its debtor-affiliates seek entry of interim
and final orders:

     (a) authorizing the Debtors to use cash collateral and
         provide adequate protection for such cash collateral
         usage;

     (b) requiring all nondebtor parties possessing cash
         collateral to return such funds to the Debtors; and

     (c) allowing them to incur, to the extent necessary to cover
         any cash collateral shortfalls, postpetition debt
         under a senior, secured, superpriority credit facility.

Lenders Delfinco LP and Victory Park Credit Opportunities LP and
Victory Park Management LLC, as administrative and collateral
agent, are providing the DIP financing.

The Debtors' requested usage of Cash Collateral will be limited to
(i) expenditures for general working capital purposes in the
ordinary course of business; and (ii) expenditures associated with
the Debtors' bankruptcy cases.  Additionally, holders of the
Debtors' $80 million of senior secured notes, who maintain the
only interest in the cash collateral, will receive adequate
protection, to the extent of diminution in value, in the form of
replacement liens and superpriority claims.

                    Return of Cash Collateral

Presently, one or more of the Debtors' hydrocarbon purchasers are
holding cash proceeds from the Debtors' hydrocarbon sales in
"suspense," in response to prepetition collection demands lodged
by certain of the Debtors' trade creditors.  The cash proceeds of
the hydrocarbon sales are property of the Debtors' bankruptcy
estates.  Section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that
nondebtors in possession of such cash proceeds are required to
deliver those cash proceeds to the Debtors.  Consequently, the
Debtors request that the Court enter an order requiring all
nondebtor entities possessing the Debtors' cash collateral,
including, without limitation, hydrocarbon purchasers holding
sales proceeds in "suspense," to return the cash collateral to the
Debtors.

                           DIP Financing

To the extent that usage of Cash Collateral will not be sufficient
to sustain their business operations, the Debtors ask the Court
for authority, on an interim and final basis, to engage in one or
more borrowings under a proposed superpriority debtor-in-
possession financing facility.  The DIP Loan will be secured by
first-priority liens on all of the Debtors' assets, as well as
superpriority claims with a priority over all administrative
claims granted pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 503(b) and
507(b).

The Debtors believe that upon entry of the interim order, they
will require an initial DIP Loan draw of $525,000. Following that
initial draw, and upon entry of the final order, the Debtors
request authority, to the extent that their liquidity needs exceed
available cash collateral, to obtain additional DIP Loan
borrowings in an amount not to exceed the maximum $2.5 million DIP
Loan Commitment.

W.R. GRACE: Judge Fitzgerald's Rule 2019 Order Reversed
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware reversed a
bankruptcy judge's decision that denied Garlock Sealing
Technologies LLC's bid to access certain court documents.

The decision issued on Oct. 7, 2011 by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Judith Fitzgerald denied Garlock's request to access exhibits to
the statements filed by lawyers who represent creditors asserting
asbestos-related claims against W.R. Grace & Co.  Garlock
appealed the decision on Oct. 12, 2011.

The exhibits were filed pursuant to Rule 2019, the bankruptcy
rule that governs disclosures of information about creditors in
bankruptcy cases.  Garlock needs those documents to allow experts
in its own Chapter 11 case to develop or rebut an opinion
regarding its total liability for asbestos-related claims.

In a 36-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark said that
Garlock could use the information in the exhibits to help the
bankruptcy court, which oversees its case, to estimate its
liability more accurately.

"In the context of evaluating an access request, Garlock's
intended use of such information at an estimation proceeding in
its own bankruptcy is a proper purpose," Judge Stark said.

The district judge authorized the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court
to grant Garlock access to the exhibits, excluding the retention
agreements between the claimants and their lawyers.

Judge Stark also authorized Garlock to use the exhibits solely in
connection with the estimation proceedings in its bankruptcy case
pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
North Carolina.  A copy of the district judge's opinion and March
14 order can be accessed for free at:

   http://bankrupt.com/misc/Grace_OrderGarlock031413.pdf

In response to the district judge's ruling, Judge Fitzgerald
ordered the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court to retain the 2019
statements filed in W.R. Grace's bankruptcy case.

A status conference is set for April 4 to establish a protocol for
disclosure of the 2019 statements.

                        About W.R. Grace

Headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, W.R. Grace & Co. (NYSE:GRA)

products, especially construction chemicals and building
materials, and container products globally.

The company and its debtor-affiliates filed for chapter 11
protection on April 2, 2001 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 01-01139).
David M. Bernick, P.C., Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, and Laura
Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones, LLP,
represent the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors
hired Blackstone Group, L.P., for financial advice.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is the Debtors' accountant.

Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, LLP, and Duane Morris, LLP, represent
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  The Creditors
Committee tapped Capstone Corporate Recovery LLC for financial
advice.  David T. Austern, the legal representative of future
asbestos personal injury claimants, is represented by Orrick
Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP and Phillips Goldman & Spence, PA.
Elihu Inselbuch, Esq., at Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered, and Marla
R. Eskin, Esq., at Campbell & Levine, LLC, represent the Official
Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants.  The Asbestos
Committee of Property Damage Claimants tapped Scott Baena, Esq.,

LLP, to represent it.  Thomas Moers Mayer, Esq., at Kramer Levin
Naftalis & Frankel, LLP, represents the Official Committee of
Equity Security Holders.

W.R. Grace obtained confirmation of a plan co-proposed with the
Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, and the Asbestos
Future Claimants Representative.   The Chapter 11 plan is built
around an April 2008 settlement for all present and future
asbestos personal injury claims, and a subsequent settlement for
asbestos property damage claims.  Implementation of the Plan has
been held up by appeals in District Court from various parties,
including a group of prepetition bank lenders and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

District Judge Ronald Buckwalter on Jan. 31, 2012, entered an
order affirming the bankruptcy court's confirmation of the Plan.
Bankruptcy Judge Judith Fitzgerald had approved the Plan on
Jan. 31, 2011.

The plan can't be implemented because pre-bankruptcy secured bank
lenders filed an appeal currently pending in the U.S. Court of
Appeals in Philadelphia.

W.R. GRACE: Hasn't Received Settlement Payments in PI Suits
-----------------------------------------------------------
W.R. Grace & Co. is still awaiting the effective date of its
plan of reorganization, when settlement payments will be made in
class action lawsuits brought on behalf of individuals that had
lawsuits on file asserting personal injury or wrongful death
claims, according to the Company's February 27, 2013, Form 10-K
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
year ended December 31, 2012.

In September 2000, Grace was named in a purported class action
lawsuit filed in California Superior Court for the County of San
Francisco alleging that the 1996 reorganization involving a
predecessor of Grace and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc.
and the 1998 reorganization involving a predecessor of Grace and
Sealed Air Corporation were fraudulent transfers (Abner, et al.,
v. W. R. Grace & Co., et al.).  The lawsuit is alleged to have
been brought on behalf of all individuals who then had lawsuits
on file asserting personal injury or wrongful death claims
against any of the defendants.  After Abner, and prior to the
Chapter 11 filing, two other similar class actions were filed.
These lawsuits have been stayed as a result of Grace's Chapter 11
filing.  The Bankruptcy Court authorized the Official Committee
of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants and the Official Committee
of Asbestos Property Damage Claimants to proceed with claims
against Sealed Air and Fresenius on behalf of Grace's bankruptcy
estate.  In November 2002, Sealed Air and Fresenius each
announced that they had reached agreements in principle with
these committees to settle asbestos, successor liability and
fraudulent transfer claims related to such transactions.  Under
the terms of the Company's joint plan of reorganization and the
Fresenius Settlement and the Sealed Air Settlement, each
settlement, as subsequently revised and subject to certain
conditions, Fresenius and Cryovac, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Sealed Air, would make certain payments upon the
effectiveness of the Joint Plan.  These settlements are an
integral part of the Joint Plan.

W.R. GRACE: Awaits Effective Date of Plan & ZAI Deal
----------------------------------------------------
W.R. Grace & Co. is awaiting the effective date of its joint plan
of reorganization, which plan incorporates a settlement of
lawsuits asserting asbestos-related personal and property damage
claims relating to Zonolite(R) Attic Insulation, according to the
Company's February 27, 2013, Form 10-K filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31,
2012.

Grace is a defendant in property damage and personal injury
lawsuits relating to previously sold asbestos-containing
products.  As of April 2, 2001 (the bankruptcy filing date),
Grace was a defendant in 65,656 asbestos-related lawsuits, 17
involving claims for property damage (one of which has since been
dismissed), and the remainder involving 129,191 claims for
personal injury.  Due to the Filing, holders of asbestos-related
claims are stayed from continuing to prosecute pending litigation
and from commencing new lawsuits against the Debtors.  Grace's
obligations with respect to present and future asbestos claims
will be determined through the Chapter 11 process.

The plaintiffs in asbestos property damage lawsuits generally
seek to have the defendants pay for the cost of removing,
containing or repairing the asbestos-containing materials in the
affected buildings.  Various factors can affect the merit and
value of PD Claims, including legal defenses, product
identification, the amount and type of product involved, the age,
type, size and use of the building, the legal status of the
claimant, the jurisdictional history of prior cases, the court in
which the case is pending, and the difficulty of asbestos
abatement, if necessary.

Out of 380 asbestos property damage cases (which involved
thousands of buildings) filed prior to the Filing Date, 16 remain
unresolved.  Eight cases relate to ZONOLITE(R) Attic Insulation
("ZAI"), a former Grace attic insulation product, and eight
relate to a number of former asbestos-containing products (two of
which also are alleged to involve ZAI).

Approximately 4,300 additional PD claims were filed prior to the
March 31, 2003, claims bar date established by the Bankruptcy
Court.  (The March 31, 2003, claims bar date did not apply to ZAI
claims.)  Grace objected to virtually all PD claims on a number
of legal and factual bases.  As of December 31, 2012,
approximately 430 PD Claims subject to the March 31, 2003, claims
bar date remain outstanding.  The Bankruptcy Court has approved
settlement agreements covering approximately 410 of such claims
for an aggregate allowed amount of $150.8 million.

Eight of the ZAI cases were filed as purported class action
lawsuits in 2000 and 2001.  In addition, 10 lawsuits were filed
as purported class actions in 2004 and 2005 with respect to
persons and homes in Canada.  These cases seek damages and
equitable relief, including the removal, replacement and/or
disposal of all such insulation.  The plaintiffs assert that this
product is in millions of homes and that the cost of removal
could be several thousand dollars per home.  As a result of the
Filing, all of these cases have been stayed.

Based on Grace's investigation of the claims described in these
lawsuits, and testing and analysis of this product by Grace and
others, Grace believes that ZAI was and continues to be safe for
its intended purpose and poses little or no threat to human
health.  The plaintiffs in the ZAI lawsuits dispute Grace's
position on the safety of ZAI.  In December 2006 the Bankruptcy
Court issued an opinion and order holding that, although ZAI is
contaminated with asbestos and can release asbestos fibers when
disturbed, there is no unreasonable risk of harm from ZAI.  In
the event the Company's joint plan of reorganization ("Joint
Plan") does not become effective, the ZAI claimants have reserved
their right to appeal such opinion and order if and when it
becomes a final order.

At the Debtors' request, in July 2008, the Bankruptcy Court
established a claims bar date for U.S. ZAI PD Claims and approved
a related notice program that required any person with a U.S. ZAI
PD Claim to submit an individual proof of claim no later than
October 31, 2008.  Approximately 17,960 U.S. ZAI PD Claims were
filed prior to the October 31, 2008, claims bar date and, as of
December 31, 2012, an additional 1,310 U.S. ZAI PD Claims were
filed.  Under the Canadian ZAI Settlement, all Canadian ZAI PD
Claims filed before December 31, 2009, would be eligible to seek
compensation from the Canadian ZAI property damage claims fund.
Approximately 13,100 Canadian ZAI PD Claims were filed by
December 31, 2009.

In November 2008, the Debtors, the Putative Class Counsel to the
U.S. ZAI property damage claimants, the legal representative of
future asbestos property damage claimants (the "PD FCR"), and the
Equity Committee reached an agreement designed to resolve all
present and future U.S. ZAI PD Claims.  The terms of the U.S. and
Canadian ZAI agreements in principle have been incorporated into
the terms of the Joint Plan and related documents.

Upon the occurrence of the effective date under the Joint Plan,
all pending and future PD Claims would be channeled for
resolution to the PD Trust.  PD Claims other than U.S. and
Canadian ZAI PD Claims would be litigated in the Bankruptcy Court
or a U.S. District Court, including all claims and defenses that
would have been available to the parties prior to the filing of
the Chapter 11 Cases as well as any defenses based on the
March 31, 2003 bar date.  Any claims determined to be allowed
claims would be paid in cash by the PD Trust.  Grace would be
obligated to fund the PD Trust every six months in an amount
sufficient to enable the PD Trust to pay all such allowed claims
and Trust-related expenses.

All allowed U.S. ZAI PD Claims would be paid by the PD Trust from
the ZAI PD account and all allowed Canadian ZAI PD Claims would
be paid by the Canadian ZAI property damage claims fund.  Grace
would have no liability or obligation for asbestos-related ZAI PD
claims, except for its obligations to fund the PD Trust's ZAI PD
account.

WALLDESIGN INC: Deal Reached on CRO's Abandonment of Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in March approved a stipulation between
debtor Walldesign Inc., VFS Financing, Inc., and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors that provides for an order
directing the Debtor's Chief Restructuring Officer to abandon
title to the collateral via bill of sale and "professional user
entity" authorization.

In January 2013, VFS filed a motion seeking an order granting
relief from the automatic stay.  The personal property which is
the subject of the Motion is a Hawker Beechcraft, Model No. 900XP,
Serial No. HA0063, U.S. Registration No. N288MB and two Honeywell
model TFE731-50R aircraft engines bearing manufacturer's serial
numbers P122232 and P122233.

VFS also sought orders:

(a) directing the Debtor, via its court-appointed CRO, to
    demand turnover of funds, if any held by third parties,
    including Delta Private Jets and/or Michael R. Bello, that
    constitute cash collateral resulting from the unauthorized
    lease of the Aircraft, and to pay such funds, if any,
    constituting VFS's cash collateral to VFS;

(b) directing the Debtor, via its court-appointed CRO, to notify
    Delta Private Jets that the lease agreement it executed in
    connection with the Aircraft was not authorized by the Debtor
    or the Bankruptcy Court, and is not an effective agreement;
    and

(c) directing the Debtor, via its CRO or other representative of
    the Debtor's estate, to execute any documentation necessary to
    effectuate transfer of title to the Collateral to VFS or its
    designee, including but not limited to a bill of sale, the
    appointment of VFS or its designee as a professional user
    entity ("PUE") on the International Registry, and any
    reasonably necessary antecedent steps necessary to effectuate
    such appointment including any reinstatement of the Debtor's
    status on the International Registry (the "Title Transfer
     Request").

The Committee responded that if VFS enters into an agreement to
sell, lease, or transfer any interest in the Collateral to Michael
R. Bello or any entity controlled by Mr. Bello, the agreement be
subject to the review and approval of the Debtor and the Committee
and, if either objects to the terms of the agreement, to the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Counsel for VFS, the Committee and the Debtor met and conferred
regarding the Title Transfer Request.  The parties later reached a
resolution on the matter.  The deal requires VFS to give no less
than 10 days' notice to the Committee and the Debtor regarding any
agreement by VFS to sell, lease, or transfer any interest in the
Collateral to Mr. Bello or any entity controlled by Mr. Bello.  If
the Committee or the Debtor object to the terms of any agreement,
the parties will attempt to resolve any issues, and if they
cannot, VFS will seek from the Bankruptcy Court approval of the
sale to Mr. Bello or an entity controlled by Mr. Bello.

                          About Walldesign

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

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

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

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


WARNER CHILCOTT: S&P Raises Senior Unsecured Debt Rating to 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its recovery rating on
Ireland-based specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer Warner
Chilcott PLC's senior unsecured debt to '4', indicating S&P's
expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default, from '5' (10% to 30% recovery
expectation).  S&P subsequently raised its issue-level rating on
this debt to 'BB' from 'BB-', in accordance with its notching
criteria.

All other ratings, including S&P's 'BB' corporate credit rating on
the company, remain unchanged.  The outlook is stable.

The recovery rating revision and subsequent issue-level upgrade
reflect the company's mandatory and optional debt repayments over
the past few quarters.  The debt repayments resulted in lower
levels of senior secured debt and greater value for unsecured
lenders under a simulated default scenario.

The rating on Warner Chilcott PLC reflects a "fair" business risk
profile that incorporates some product and therapeutic diversity
and the company's successful strategy of active brand management.
It also reflects the threat of generic competition to the
company's product portfolio and its limited research and
development (R&D) capabilities.  These pressures could push the
company to make additional debt-financed product or company
acquisitions over the next year.

"Despite leverage of about 2.8x at Dec. 31, 2012, we believe that
the company will ultimately maintain credit metrics consistent
with a significant financial risk profile because of potential
acquisition financing needs and an aggressive financial policy
that supports dividend payouts," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Michael Berrian.

Revenues of approximately $2.5 billion were 7% lower than prior
year, slightly better than S&P's expectation for a decline of
about 10% in 2012 following an 8% decline in 2011.  The decline
stems primarily from challenges to the global Actonel franchise
and the loss of the patent case against Doryx. Actonel revenues
have been pressured following a Western Europe patent expiration
in 2010 and a contracting U.S. bisphosphonate market due to
concerns over side effects.  Potential generic challenges to
Asacol 400mg because of the upcoming July 2013 patent expiration
could result in additional top line pressure, but patient
preference for current therapies could mitigate any immediate
deterioration, in S&P's opinion.  Gross margins of approximately
88% were in line with S&P's expectations, but EBITDA margins of
about 57% were higher than its base case because of better-then-
expected benefits from cost reductions and changes to its sales
and marketing infrastructure.  This resulted in free cash flow of
more than $800 million, slightly better than our full-year
estimate.


WEST 380: OK'd to Pay Claims of Physicians and Physician Group

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said the following statement in its 2012 Annual
Report:

"If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund
our debt service obligations and to fund our other liquidity
needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures or
declared dividends, sell assets or operations, seek additional
capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness.  We cannot
make assurances 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, including our senior secured credit facilities or the
indentures that govern our outstanding notes.  Our senior secured
credit facilities documentation and the indentures that govern the
notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the
proceeds from the disposition.  As a result, we may not be able to
consummate those dispositions or use the proceeds to meet our debt
service or other obligations, and any proceeds that are available
may not be adequate to meet any debt service or other obligations
then due.

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

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

   * our debt holders under other debt subject to cross default
     provisions could declare all outstanding principal and
     interest on such other debt to be due and payable;

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

   * we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation."

                           *     *     *

West Corp. carries a 'B2' corporate rating from Moody's and 'B+'
corporate rating from Standard & Poor's.

Moody's Investors Service upgraded the ratings on West
Corporation's existing senior secured term loan to Ba3 from B1 and
the rating on $650 million of existing senior notes due 2014 to B3
from Caa1 upon the closing of its recent refinancing transactions.
Concurrently, Moody's affirmed all other credit ratings including
the B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2 Probability of Default
Rating.  The rating outlook is stable.

As reported by the TCR on March 21, 2013, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services placed its 'B+' corporate credit rating on Omaha,
Neb.-based business process outsourcer West Corp., along with all
issue-level ratings on the company's debt, on CreditWatch with
positive implications.  The CreditWatch placement is based on West
Corp.'s announcement that it will raise about $500 million through
an initial public offering and use most of the proceeds to repay
debt.  Pro forma for the debt repayment, lease-adjusted leverage
is 5.3x, compared with 5.9x at Dec. 31, 2012.


WEST COVINA MOTORS: City's Chapter 7 Conversion Bid Approved
------------------------------------------------------------
The City of West Covina sought and obtained an order converting
the chapter 11 case of West Covina Motors, Inc., to a chapter 7
liquidation.

The City of West Covina, on its own behalf and as successor to the
City of West Covina Community Development Commission, contends
that "cause" for conversion to a Chapter 7 proceeding exists under
Section 1112(b)(4)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code based on the fact
that the Debtor is suffering a substantial and continuing loss to
and diminution of its estate and has no reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation.  The city also states that "cause" to convert the
case also exists under Section 1112(b)(4)(B) due to the gross
mismanagement of the estate by the individual controlling the
estate, Ziad Alhassen.

WESTERN POZZOLAN: Court Converts Case to Chapter 7
--------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Linda B. Riegle of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nevada has converted Western Pozzolan Corp.'s Chapter
11 case to Chapter 7.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 26, 2013,
secured creditor Interest Income Partners, L.P., filed a renewed
motion to dismiss the Debtor's case.  IIP first sought case
dismissal in October 2012.  At the hearing on the first motion,
the Debtor and the U.S. Trustee instead sought appointment of a
Chapter 11 trustee.

IIP, owed by the Debtor on account of a $1.5 million secured note
that has matured, argues the case should be dismissed for "cause",
including: (i) the Debtor has stated in its August monthly
operating report that it has not paid for general liability
insurance, and (ii) the Chapter 11 trustee has determined that he
is not going to sell the Debtor's property or attempt to
reorganize the Debtor.

The Court has set for April 24, 2013, at 9:30 a.m., the hearing on
the motion to dismiss the Debtor's case to allow time for a
determination of whether the Chapter 11 Trustee can liquidate the
Debtor's assets for the benefit of creditors.

Plant in Lassen County, California.  The Company filed a Chapter
11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 12-11040) in Las
Vegas, Nevada, on Jan. 30, 2012.

The case was now reassigned to Judge Linda B. Riegle from Judge
Mike K. Nakagawa.  Matthew Q. Callister, Esq., at Callister &
Associates, serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The Debtor disclosed
$10,825,304 in assets and $2,916,012 in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.

August B. Landis, Acting U.S. Trustee for Region 17, appointed
three creditors to serve in the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.

Western Pozzolan first filed for bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Nev. Case NO. 10-27096) in Las Vegas on Sept. 9, 2010.

On Dec. 3, 2012 the Hon. Mike K. Nakagawa, in response to Interest
Income Partners, L.P.'s request for the dismissal of the Debtor's
case, ordered the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee.  The Debtor
said that the bankruptcy case will benefit from the appointment of
a Chapter 11 trustee, given the development of the cases
associated with the Debtor's principal, James W. Scott.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Nevada authorized David A.
Rosenberg, the Chapter 11 trustee for Western Pozzolan Corp., to
employ Howard Kim & Associates as his general purpose counsel.


XTREME IRON: Trustee OK'd to Pay $75,000 for Repair/Maintenance
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
authorized the Areya Holder, Chapter 11 trustee for Xtreme Iron,
LLC, and Xtreme Iron Holdings, LLC, to incur administrative
expense amounting to:

   -- $25,000 to move and store 20 pieces of heavy equipment, and
up to $750 per month to store the equipment with Ritchie Bros. or
other qualified entity; and

   -- 75,000 per month of repair and maintenance expenses and pay
B&R Equipment Company to maintain and repair certain pieces of the
Debtors' heavy-equipment inventory.

According to Court papers filed, Ritchie Bros. is one of the
leading auction and appraisal companies for heavy equipment.  As
part of its services, Ritchie Bros. stores and insures heavy
equipment on its real estate.

To the extent that the $25,000 constitutes cash collateral, the
trustee asserted that, given Cat Financial's positions in the
case, Cat Financial will be adequately protected by the proposed
moving and storage.

The Chapter 11 trustee is represented by:

largest heavy equipment rental fleets in the state of Texas.
Their fleet is comprised of late model, low hour Caterpillar and
John Deere equipment.  Holdings said an estimated 90% of the
business assets are located in North Texas counties.

Xtreme Iron Hickory Creek LLC filed its own petition (Bankr. E.D.
Tex. Case No. 12-41750) on June 29, listing under $1 million in
both assets and debts.

Xtreme Iron LLC commenced Chapter 11 proceedings (Bankr. N.D. Tex.

Dallas to transfer the venue of Holdings' Chapter 11 case to the
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas, saying the
company's domicile, residence, principal place of business, and
the location of its principal assets are all in the Eastern
District; and venue is not proper in the Northern District of
Texas.


* U.S. Foreclosure Inventory Up 9% in First Quarter of 2013
-----------------------------------------------------------
RealtyTrac(R), an online marketplace for foreclosure properties
and real estate data, on March 28 released its first-ever U.S.
Foreclosure Inventory Analysis, which shows nearly 1.5 million
U.S. properties were actively in the foreclosure process or bank-
owned (REO) in the first quarter of 2013, up 9 percent from the
first quarter of 2012 but still down 32 percent from the peak of
2.2 million in December 2010.

"Delinquent loans that fell into a deep sleep after the robo-
signing controversy in late 2010 are gradually coming out of
hibernation following the finalization of the national mortgage
settlement in April 2012," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at
RealtyTrac.  "The settlement provided some closure regarding
accepted foreclosure processing practices, and as a result lenders
have been reviving more of these delinquent loans and pushing them
into foreclosure over the past 12 months, particularly in states
where a lengthy court process has resulted in a bigger backlog of
non-performing loans still in snooze mode."

Details of the entire foreclosure inventory analysis, along with
illustrating charts, are in a 14-page report available online here
or upon request from the media contacts listed below:

High-level findings from the analysis:

        -- The annual increase in foreclosure inventory at a
national level was caused by a 59 percent jump in pre-foreclosure
inventory, while inventory of homes scheduled for foreclosure
auction decreased 25 percent and inventory of bank-owned homes
decreased 3 percent.

        -- Foreclosure inventory behavior was split nearly down
the middle at the state level, with 26 states posting annual
increases in foreclosure inventory and 24 states, along with the
District of Columbia, posting annual decreases in foreclosure
activity.

        -- Among properties actively in the foreclosure process
(excluding bank-owned properties), 35 percent were properties
identified as vacant or where the homeowner had moved.  The
percentage of owner-vacated foreclosure inventory was 50 percent
or higher in several states, including Indiana, Oregon, Washington
and Nevada.

        -- Inventory of listed foreclosures decreased 43 percent
nationwide from a year ago, but inventory of unlisted foreclosures
increased 12 percent.

        -- Government-backed entities Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and
FHA/HUD accounted for the biggest portion of foreclosure
inventory, with a combined 12 percent of the national total,
followed by Bank of America with 11 percent, Wells Fargo with 10
percent and Chase with 7 percent.

        -- More than two-thirds of the properties actively in the
foreclosure process or bank owned as of the first quarter of 2013
were built in 1960 or later; however, in terms of year built the
fastest growing segment of foreclosure inventory consisted of
homes built before 1960 -- up 11 percent from a year ago while
foreclosure inventory of properties built in 1960 or later
increased 6 percent during the same time period.

        -- More than 60 percent of foreclosure inventory in the
first quarter of 2013 was comprised of properties with loan
amounts under $200,000, while homes with outstanding loans between
$200,000 to $400,000 represented an additional 30 percent of all
foreclosure inventory.

                        Report Methodology

The RealtyTrac U.S. Foreclosure Inventory Analysis provides a
count of the total number of properties in some stage of the
foreclosure process or bank owned.  RealtyTrac's report
incorporates documents filed in all three phases of foreclosure:
Default -- Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS); Auction
-- Notice of Trustee's Sale and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NTS
and NFS); and Real Estate Owned, or REO properties (that have been
foreclosed on and repurchased by a bank). Properties are removed
from active foreclosure inventory if sold to a third part; if
RealtyTrac collects a recission notice showing the lender has
stopped foreclosure proceedings; or if no new foreclosure activity
is reported for the property for a longer period of time than the
average number of days it takes to complete the foreclosure
process in the state where the property is located.

* Foreclosures Down 19% in February 2012, CoreLogic Reports
-----------------------------------------------------------
CoreLogic(R), residential property information, analytics and
services provider, on March 28 released its National Foreclosure
Report for February which provides data on completed U.S.
foreclosures and the overall foreclosure inventory.  According to
CoreLogic, there were 54,000 completed foreclosures in the U.S. in
February 2013, down from 67,000 in February 2012, a year-over-year
decrease of 19 percent.  On a month-over-month basis, completed
foreclosures fell from 58,000* in January 2013 to the February
level of 54,000, a decrease of 7 percent.

As a basis of comparison, prior to the decline in the housing
market in 2007, completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month
nationwide between 2000 and 2006.  Completed foreclosures are an
indication of the total number of homes actually lost to
foreclosure.  Since the financial crisis began in September 2008,
there have been approximately 4.2 million completed foreclosures
across the country.

Approximately 1.2 million homes were in some stage of foreclosure
in the U.S., known as the foreclosure inventory, as of February
2013 compared to 1.5 million in February 2012, a decrease of 21
percent.  The foreclosure inventory as of February 2013
represented 2.8 percent of all homes with a mortgage compared to
3.5 percent in February 2012.  This was the 16th consecutive month
with a year-over-year decline.  Month over month, the foreclosure
inventory was down 1.8 percent from January 2013 to February 2013.

"February's 54,000 completed foreclosures is the lowest level
nationally since September 2007, with most major metropolitan
areas experiencing improvements," said Dr. Mark Fleming, chief
economist for CoreLogic.  "Even the major Florida markets are
benefiting with the foreclosure inventories falling the fastest in
major metropolitan areas, although from a very high level."

"We continue to see a declining trend in foreclosure activity,
with major markets leading the way," said Anand Nallathambi,
president and CEO of CoreLogic.  "The drop in delinquencies and
foreclosure starts will help support a resurgence in the home
purchase market this year and next."

Highlights as of February 2013:

-- The five states with the highest number of completed
foreclosures for the 12 months ending in February 2013 were:
Florida (95,000),California (90,000), Michigan (73,000), Texas
(57,000) and Georgia (49,000).  These five states account for
almost half of all completed foreclosures nationally.

-- The five states with the lowest number of completed
foreclosures for the 12 months ending in February 2013 were:
District of Columbia (96), Hawaii (469), North Dakota (482), Maine
(542) and West Virginia (588).

-- The five states with the highest foreclosure inventory as a
percentage of all mortgaged homes were: Florida (9.9 percent), New
Jersey (7.2 percent), New York (5.0 percent), Nevada (4.6 percent)
and Illinois (4.5 percent).

-- The five states with the lowest foreclosure inventory as a
percentage of all mortgaged homes were: Wyoming (0.5 percent),
Alaska (0.6 percent), North Dakota (0.7 percent), Nebraska (0.8
percent) and Montana (0.9 percent).

*January data was revised.  Revisions are standard, and to ensure
accuracy, CoreLogic incorporates newly released data to provide
updated results.


* Pressures Continue for U.S. Local Governments, Fitch Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings says that "In our view, the vast majority of local
governments in the U.S. will manage the slow macroeconomic
recovery through a combination of prudent budget management,
including tax increases in some cases. However, we believe a few
more local governments than the ones already making headlines
could have negative outcomes. We see those governments most at
risk as having a combination of severely inflexible labor
environments, the highest and rapidly growing fixed costs, and the
most restrictive taxing limits."

"Finding savings will become increasingly difficult for
governments that have experienced years of service reductions and
are now facing pressures to address deferred needs. But the major
pressures on local governments are largely labor-related. Data
from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates labor costs, including
benefits, comprise approximately two thirds of local government
budgets on average. Many are higher. We expect most pension annual
required contributions to continue to rise in the short run, as
the losses in the financial markets in 2008 and 2009 continue to
be phased in. Beyond that, we expect demographic pressures from
the now retiring baby boomers to increase as they draw pension and
unfunded retiree healthcare benefits.

"Many local governments have taken a variety of actions to address
pension and benefits costs, including other post-employment
benefits (OPEB). However, several of the risk factors identified
are challenging for local governments to control, particularly in
the more extreme situations. For many, modifying pension costs may
hinge on increasingly important judicial decisions or state
actions outside local control. Tax policies are generally decided
at the state level, even if they only affect local government
revenue such as property taxes. Overall compensation costs are
difficult for local governments to influence when the labor
environment is confrontational, concessions are rare, adverse
binding arbitration awards are the norm, or rigid compensation
survey regimes determine outcomes.

"In the end, a government's ability to manage its resources and
priorities and take the measures necessary to maintain fiscal
balance are crucial in a slowly improving but continually
challenging environment."


* Financial Statements Decline in Predictive Value Over Time
------------------------------------------------------------
With corporate earnings season upon us, new research from the
Stanford Graduate School of Business examines the usefulness of
financial statement and market data for investors who want to
ascertain the likelihood of bankruptcy.  The results of that
research are not completely reassuring.

The authors -- Maureen F. McNichols, Marriner S. Eccles Professor
of Public and Private Management at the Stanford Graduate School
of Business (GSB); William H. Beaver, Joan E. Horngren Professor
of Accounting, Emeritus, at the GSB; and Maria Correia, assistant
professor of accounting at the London Business School -- examined
40 years of financial data garnered from thousands of public
corporations.  They analyzed key financial ratios, such as return
on assets and leverage, reported in filings to the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, and market-related data such as market
capitalization and stock returns.

Over the period they examined -- 1962 to 2002 -- the data became
significantly less useful in predicting bankruptcy.  "Investors
should be concerned and aware of this when they assess bankruptcy
risk," Ms. McNichols says.

A professor of accounting, Ms. McNichols is quick to add that
financial statement data are still highly relevant.  Of the firms
she and her colleagues studied, about one percent fell into
bankruptcy, and despite the deterioration in financial-statement
usefulness, financial ratios and market data are still important
tools for predicting insolvency, she says.

Nonetheless, the results are concerning enough that McNichols
believes that regulators and standards setters such as the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting
Standards Board should be aware of this issue.

Three major factors muddy the waters for investors attempting to
predict bankruptcy, the researchers found:

            1. Over the sample period, there is increasing
evidence that management exercises discretion over financial
reporting, and that there have been increasing numbers of
restatements because the financial statements were materially
misleading.  "Our findings indicate that the manipulation of
reported results gives a misleading impression of profitability
and reduces investors' ability to predict bankruptcy," notes
Correia.  For example, firms recognizing revenue ahead of schedule
or fraudulently may appear profitable.  As a result, the
bankruptcy prediction model is much less likely to classify
bankrupt firms that also restated earnings accurately, assigning
lower risk due to their overstated earnings.

            2. Many firms, particularly the technology companies
listed on the NASDAQ exchange, are heavy spenders on research and
development.  R&D in itself is certainly not a cause for concern,
but because this "intangible" is not recognized on the balance
sheet, it makes various financial ratios and data less useful.

            3. The frequency of firms reporting losses has
increased substantially over the past 40 years.  Because
predicting future earnings for firms that suffer losses involves
substantially greater uncertainty than for firms that are
profitable, the bankruptcy prediction model is less likely to
accurately classify loss firms that will go bankrupt.

Consider a firm that suffers a loss.  The fact that it has lost
money is obviously not good news, but in and of itself a loss
doesn't mean a company will go bankrupt.  Losses complicate the
financial picture, the researchers found, because while firms
reporting a loss are more likely to go bankrupt on average, it is
harder to predict which loss firms will do so relative to firms
earning a profit.

In an earlier study that did not include NASDAQ-listed companies,
Mr. Beaver, Ms. McNichols, and the late Jung-Wu Rhie, a 2005
Stanford doctoral student, also found that using both traditional
accounting variables and market data led to better predictions
than using one or the other type of data.  In the new study,
Beaver, Ms. McNichols, and Ms. Correia find that market data has
been consistently useful over the past 40 years, but it has not
offset the decline over time in informativeness of the financial
statements, so overall ability to predict bankruptcy has declined.

"If investors have access to alternative sources of information
that compensate for less informative financial statements, the
market-based model should reflect this," Mr. Beaver said, but that
is not the case.  This is especially true for firms listed on the
NASDAQ, which have higher rates of intangibles, greater frequency
of losses, and more frequent restatements.  For example, the model
using financial ratios and market data correctly classifies 91
percent of bankrupt firms in years when those firms had no
restatements, but only 68 percent of bankrupt firms experiencing
restatements.

Given these findings, investors should recognize that it may be
harder for them and others, such as rating agencies, to assess
bankruptcy risk, particularly for firms with losses, greater
intangibles, and greater incentives to exercise discretion over
their earnings.  For these firms especially, caveat emptor was
never truer.


* Clark Hill & Thorp Reed Enters Into Merger Agreement

example, the combined firm's servicing rates will remain
consistent at our current levels.  The merger provides our firm
with opportunities to grow in our current markets, as well as
expand into new markets.  I am confident our clients will be
pleased with the additional capacity and expertise that will come
with the combined firm."

* The American Lawyer Picks Top Dealmakers of 2012
--------------------------------------------------
The wobbly recovery of 2012 put a premium on high-level corporate
lawyering.  Now ALM's The American Lawyer has highlighted the best
of the best in its coveted Dealmaker of the Year awards, announced
in the April issue and is online at http://www.americanlawyer.com

"If Norma Desmond had been an M&A lawyer, 2012 might have been the
year that she said, 'I'm still big.  It's the companies that got
small'," wrote senior editor Jim Schroeder.  "Conglomerates fell
out of favor, driving spin-off and divestiture activity to
historic levels, and emphasizing the work of lawyers.  In capital
markets, the uneven recovery created enough opportunity to be
alluring and enough risk to be off-putting -- good news for
lawyers, who make their living mitigating risk."

Among the outstanding dealmaking performances were:

-- Stacy Kanter of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP,
issuer's counsel to Realogy Holding Corp., for helping transform a
troubled real estate business into the biggest private equity-
backed IPO of the year with patience, creativity, and
perseverance.

-- Jerry Marlatt of Morrison & Foerster, issuer's counsel to Royal
Bank of Canada, for getting the Securities and Exchange
Commission's blessing for a new type of securities offering by a
Canadian bank.

-- Paul Shim of Cleary Gottleib Steen & Hamilton LLP, target's
counsel in Dollar Thrifty's hotly contested $2.3 billion sale to
Hertz, for a seven-year engagement that became one of the longest-
running takeovers of the modern corporate age.

Also named Dealmakers of the Year were Bruce Gilchrist of Hogan
Lovells; Susheel Kirpalani of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan,
LLP; Nicholas Kronfeld of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP; David Lam of
Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; Nancy Lieberman of Skadden; Mark
Menting and William Torchiana of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP; Charles
Ruck of Latham & Watkins LLP; William Sorabella and Stephen
Fraidin of Kirkland & Ellis LLP; and Stephen Venuto of Orrick,
Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.

The American Lawyer annually honors dealmakers who demonstrate
outstanding innovation and creativity, playing pivotal roles in
notable mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, project
finance, and bankruptcy work.  Deal value is not a major
consideration, but complexity is.

                            *********

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.
