                     About 4Licensing Corporation

4Licensing Corporation, formerly 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., is a
licensing company specializing in the youth oriented market.
Through its subsidiaries, 4LC licenses merchandising rights to
popular children's television series, properties and product
concepts, builds up brands through licensing, develops ideas and
concepts for licensing and plans to forge new license
relationships in the sports licensing industry and develop private
label goods that will be sold to retail or directly to consumers.

4Kids filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code to protect its most valuable asset -- its rights
under an exclusive license relating to the popular Yu-Gi-Oh!
series of animated television programs -- from efforts by the
licensor, a consortium of Japanese companies, to terminate
the license and force 4Kids out of business.

4Kids and affiliates filed Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Lead Case No. 11-11607) on April 6, 2011.  Kaye Scholer LLP is the
Debtors' restructuring counsel.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC,
is the Debtors' claims and notice agent.  BDO Capital Advisors,
LLC, is the financial advisor and investment banker.  EisnerAmper
LLP fka Eisner LLP serves as auditor and tax advisor.  4Kids
Entertainment disclosed $78,397,971 in assets and $86,515,395 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Hahn & Hessen LLP serves as counsel to the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC serves as its
information agent for the Committee.

The Consortium consists of TV Tokyo Corporation, which owns and
operates a television station in Japan; ASATSU-DK Inc., a Japanese
advertising company; and Nihon Ad Systems, ADK's wholly owned
subsidiary.  The Consortium is represented by Kyle C. Bisceglie,
Esq., Michael S. Fox, Esq., Ellen V. Holloman, Esq., and Mason
Barney, Esq., at Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP,
in New York.

In January 2012, the bankruptcy judge ruled in favor of 4Kids,
deciding that the Yu-Gi-Oh! property license agreement between the
Debtor and the licensor was not effectively terminated prior to
the bankruptcy filing.  Following the ruling, 4Kids entered into a
settlement where it would receive $8 million to end the dispute
over its valuable Yu-Gi-Oh! Property.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 17, 2012, U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Shelley C. Chapman confirmed the Debtor's Chapter 11 plan.

4Licensing Corporation disclosed net income of $9.54 million on
$3.32 million of total net revenues for the year ended Dec. 31,
2012, as compared with a net loss of $17.08 million on $8.07
million of total net revenues in 2011.

EisnerAmper LLP, in New York, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  "[T]he Company emerged from Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings on December 21, 2012.  However, the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations, and the continuing
costs in connection with its bankruptcy cases, and potential
settlement of the remaining material unresolved claims may have
adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.  The above conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.


501 GRANT: Dec. 19 Hearing to Confirm Third Amended Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California,
according to 501 Grant Street Partners, LLC's case docket, lodged
an order approving and requiring the Debtor to file by Aug. 30,
2013, a final version of the Amended Disclosure Statement
explaining its Chapter 11 Plan.

The Court will consider confirmation of the Plan on Dec. 19, at
10 a.m.  Ballots accepting or rejecting the Plan are due Nov. 22;
and ballot tally and confirmation memo is due Dec. 10.

According to the Third Amended Disclosure Statement describing
Plan of Reorganization dated March 15, 2013, the Plan provides
that 100 percent of the equity in the Debtor will be sold to a
special purpose entity to be formed by Clarity Realty Partners
LLC, a third-party investor.  The Investor has agreed to invest
$18.23 million to be used to fund certain payments under the Plan,
well as a significant amount of capital expenditures and tenant
improvements to significantly increase the value of the property
and the amount of rental revenue to be generated by the property
in the short term.  Upon the confirmation of the Plan, the
Debtor's membership interests will be transferred to the investor.

Upon funding of the Plan, (a) the Debtor's secured obligation to
SA Challenger, Inc. will be reduced to the current value of the
property, restructured and repaid over time at market terms; (b)
the Debtor's secured tax obligation, to the extent it remains
outstanding, will be paid in full following the Effective Date of
the Plan; (c) the Debtor's alleged mechanics lien holder(s) will
either be paid in full with interest, if the lien is valid, or
otherwise receive the same treatment as the Debtor's general
unsecured creditors; (d) the Debtor's priority tax claim will be
paid in full on the Effective Date of the Plan; and (e) the
Debtor's unsecured creditors, including the lender's deficiency
claim, will receive each creditor's pro rata share of $3,150,000
payable in 13 quarterly payments after the Effective Date of the
Plan.

A copy of the Third Amended Disclosure Statement is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/501_GRANT_3amended.pdf

David B. Golubchik, Esq. -- dbg@lnbyb.com -- at Levene, Neale,
Bender, Yoo & Brill L.L.P., in Los Angeles, California, filed the
Disclosure Statement on behalf of the Debtor.

In a separate filing, the Debtor replied to SA Challenger's notice
of non-compliance with Court order and supplemental objection to
its Second Amended Disclosure Statement, stating that, among other
things:

   1. denial of the Disclosure Statement is unnecessary and
      inequitable not only for the Debtor, but also for the other
      creditors of the estate, who will receive substantial
      distributions upon Plan confirmation; and

   2. as of Aug. 13, the Debtor filed all outstanding Monthly
      Operating Reports, and on Aug. 14, the Debtor paid all
      outstanding quarterly fees.  As a result, the Debtor has
      cured the deficiencies and is in compliance with the
      requirements of the U.S. Trustee.

                        About 501 Grant

An involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition was filed against
501 Grant Street Partners LLC, based in Woodland Hills, California
(Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 12-20066) on Nov. 14, 2012.

501 Grant Street Partners owns the Union Trust Building in
downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  It sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case No. 12-23890) on Aug. 3, 2012, to
avert a sheriff sale of the building.  The August petition
estimated under $50,000 in both assets and debts.  In November
2012, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Judith K. Fitzgerald dismissed 501
Grant Street Partners' Chapter 11 petition, paving for the sheriff
sale of the Union Trust Building on Jan. 7, 2013.

SA Challenger Inc., which acquired interest in the building's
mortgage by U.S. Bank, has sought to foreclose on the Debtor's
property.  SA Challenger is seeking to collect $41.4 million.
Earlier in November, at the lender's request, Judge Ward appointed
the real estate firm CBRE to serve as receiver for the building,
overseeing its operation and management until the sheriff sale
takes place.

The bankruptcy judge approved an involuntary Chapter 11 petition
for 501 Grant, entering an order for relief on Dec. 13, 2012.  The
petitioning creditors are Allied Barton Security Services LLC,
owed $960 for security services; Cost Company LP, $5,900 owed for
masonry work; and MSA Systems Integration Inc., owed $2,401 for
unpaid invoice.  Malhar S. Pagay, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl &
Jones LLP, represents the petitioning creditors.

Attorneys at Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill LLP, in Los
Angeles, Calif., represent the Debtor in the involuntary Chapter
11 proceeding.

restructuring in the face of the OMONTYS recall.  The
restructuring was designed to reduce the Company's footprint,
manage and settle its many creditor obligations, and preserve its
cash in order for the remaining entity to continue to survive
while the OMONTYS investigation continues under the direction of
Takeda.  The restructuring has largely been completed.  TBG is
managing the affairs of the surviving operation, and will continue
to oversee the operations of the company while it awaits the
outcome of the investigation and the resultant decision on the
future of the drug, if any.

"Prospects for the company are highly uncertain, are dependent on
Takeda, and even though TBG does not intend to ever have its
clients file for bankruptcy protection, there can be no assurance
that the Company will continue as a going concern or otherwise be
able to avoid bankruptcy or dissolution," the Company said in a
regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

                           About Affymax

Affymax, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFY) is a biopharmaceutical company based
in Palo Alto, California.  In March 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved the Company's first and only product,
OMONTYS(R) (peginesatide) Injection for the treatment of anemia
due to chronic kidney disease in adult patients on dialysis.
OMONTYS is a synthetic, peptide-based erythropoiesis stimulating
agent, or ESA, designed to stimulate production of red blood cells
and has been the only once-monthly ESA available to the adult
dialysis patient population in the U.S.  The Company co-
commercialized OMONTYS with its collaboration partner, Takeda
Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda during 2012 until
February 2013, when the Company and Takeda announced a nationwide
voluntary recall of OMONTYS as a result of safety concerns.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $20.91 million in total
assets, $20.58 million in total liabilities and $325,000 in total
stockholders' equity.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since
our inception.  As a result of the February 23, 2013 nationwide
voluntary recall of OMONTYS and the suspension of all marketing
activities, there is significant uncertainty as to whether we will
have sufficient existing cash, cash equivalents and investments to
fund our operations for the next 12 months.

"Our liabilities exceed our assets.  While we continue to reduce
cash outflows, there is no assurance that we have sufficient
resources remaining to meet existing and future obligations in a
timely manner.  If Takeda is unable to reintroduce the product or
we are unable to obtain additional funding in the near future, our
cash resources will rapidly be depleted and we will be required to
further reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a
material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our
relationships with third parties with whom we have business
relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained.  If
we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could
be required to liquidate our assets, seek bankruptcy protection or
other alternatives, and it is likely that investors will lose all
or some of their investment in us," the Company said in the Form
10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013.


ALASKA COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Affirms 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on diversified telecommunications carrier Alaska
Communications Systems Group Inc. (ACS) and revised the outlook to
stable from negative.

"The outlook revision reflects our view that debt to EBITDA
including our adjustments will remain between 4x and 5x over the
next few years, given stable cash flows from anticipated AWN
distributions through mid-2017, which we include in our EBITDA and
free operating cash flow calculations," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Weinstein.  With the ACS board electing to
suspend the common stock dividend, we believe ACS will use about
half of the proceeds from AWN distributions to pay down debt over
the next two years, which will keep leverage at a level that is
supportive of the 'B+' corporate credit rating.

The ratings on Anchorage-based ACS reflect Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services' view of the company's "weak" business risk
profile and "aggressive" financial risk profile.  The rating
incorporates significant competitive pressure in the company's
core wireline and wireless businesses, expected revenue losses due
to reductions in regulatory support and roaming revenues, market
concentration, and high leverage.  A positive factor in S&P's
business and financial risk analysis is the company's AWN joint
venture with GCI, which S&P expects to provide a steady cash flow
stream to ACS through mid-2017.  Other factors include ACS'
position as the largest incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) in
Alaska, and potential for growth in broadband revenues and
business services to offset the secular decline in the core
residential wireline business.  Under the AWN venture, both
companies will combine their wireless networks, with each company
maintaining independent retail wireless operations.  The
arrangement brings to ACS fairly predictable future cash flows as
it has a priority position over partner GCI with respect to
distributions in the first four years of the venture.  S&P also
expects ACS to reduce leverage with about half of these cash
dividends.  In its second-quarter earnings call, ACS announced
that it used $65 million of the initial $100 million payment from
GCI to pay down debt.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that leverage will remain
between 4x and 5x over the next few years, given the anticipated
AWN distributions, and its expectation for substantial debt
repayments.

S&P could lower the ratings if business pressures diminish ACS'
cash flow generation and its ability to reduce leverage despite
the AWN venture.  This could occur from poor performance, leading
wireline EBITDA margins to decline to the lower-20% area with no
prospects for improvement, leading to substantial cash outflows
excluding the AWN dividend, with leverage sustained above 5x.

S&P considers an upgrade unlikely over the next year given its
business risk assessment of "weak" and the limited amount of
deleveraging it expects to occur from the AWN dividends.  Given
S&P's business risk assessment, an upgrade would likely require
leverage sustained at or below the mid-3x area, and evidence of
continued stable revenue and profitability trends.  S&P would also
monitor performance of the AWN venture to assess prospects for
ACS's distributions beyond the initial four-year fixed payment
period.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: TWUA Asks Court to Delay Hearing on Lease
------------------------------------------------------------
The Transport Workers Union of America asked the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Manhattan to delay the hearing on American Airlines
Inc.'s bid to assign to AFW Solutions LLC a lease of its aircraft
maintenance facility at Fort Worth Alliance Airport.

TWUA said the terms of the proposed assignment violate its labor
contract with the carrier, and are the subject of a grievance
case filed by the union on August 12.

The terms of the proposed assignment only require AFW Solutions
to comply with the labor contract for six months although the
contract mandates the employment of workers at the maintenance
facility until September 2018, the union said in a court filing.

TWUA wants the September 24 hearing postponed until the panel
hearing the grievance case renders a decision on the case.

American Airlines on August 14 filed a motion seeking court
approval of an agreement to assume and assign several contracts
including the facility lease to AFW Solutions.

Under the deal, AFW Solutions agreed to pay $9.75 million to the
carrier for the leased properties, which include 200 acres of
land and 1.8 million square feet of improvements at the Fort
Worth airport.  As part of the deal, American Airlines will
acquire some of the equipment and fixtures it leases at the
maintenance facility for $1.5 million, according to court
filings.

As reported by the TCR on Jan. 22, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings

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


ANCHOR BANCORP: Plan Disclosures & Confirmation Hearing on Aug. 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert D. Martin of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Wisconsin entered an order scheduling the
combined hearing at which time the Court will consider, among
other things, the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and
confirmation of the Plan of Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. on
Aug. 30, 2013 at 9:00 a.m., prevailing Central Time.  Any
objections to the approval of the Disclosure Statement or
confirmation of the Plan must be filed on or before Aug. 27.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the
Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
to implement a "pre-packaged" plan of reorganization in order to
facilitate the restructuring of the Company and the
recapitalization of AnchorBank, fsb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Debtor.

In July, the Federal Reserve System, the successor regulator to
the Office of Thrift Supervision, denied approval of further
extension of the maturity date and related amendments under Anchor
Bancorp's credit agreement with a group of lenders led by U.S.
Bank National Association.  The loan matured June 30.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Company obtained the consents of
U.S. Bank National Association and Bank of America, N.A., as
senior secured creditors of the Company, and the consent of the
United States Department of the Treasury, as sole preferred
stockholder of the Company, to vote for and accept the Plan of
Reorganization.

In connection with the Plan, the Company has entered into
definitive stock purchase agreements with institutional and other
private investors as part of a $175 million recapitalization of
the institution.  No new investor will own in excess of 9.9
percent of the common equity of the recapitalized Holding Company.

The reorganization filing includes only Anchor BanCorp, the
holding company for the Bank, allowing the Bank to remain outside
of bankruptcy and to continue normal operations.  The Bank
operates 55 offices throughout Wisconsin.  Operations at the Bank
will continue as usual throughout the reorganization process.

Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, the Holding Company will
discharge its senior secured credit facility with approximately
$183 million in outstanding obligations for a cash payment of $49
million.  In addition, the Holding Company's TARP preferred
securities with an aggregate liquidation preference and deferred
dividends of approximately $139 million will be cancelled in
exchange for new common equity that will represent approximately
3.3 percent of the pro forma equity of the reorganized Holding
Company.  The new equity investors will represent in the aggregate
approximately 96.7 percent of the pro forma equity of the
reorganized Holding Company.  The shares of common stock of the
Holding Company currently outstanding will be cancelled for no
consideration pursuant to the plan of reorganization.

Consummation of the reorganization and recapitalization is subject
to certain conditions, including bankruptcy court approval of the
plan of reorganization, receipt of all required regulatory
approvals and closing of the capital raise, including satisfaction
of the conditions contained in the subscription agreements for the
new common equity.  The reorganization process is expected to be
completed within 45-90 days.

Small investors David A. Richmond and Janice A. Richmond wrote to
the Court to object to the prepackaged Plan, complaining that they
would lose their stake in the Debtor as its current stock will no
longer exist if the Plan is confirmed.

                  Schedules Filing Date Extended

Due to the prepackaged Plan, Judge Martin extended the time by
which the Debtor may file its schedules of assets and liabilities
and statement of financial affairs and the time to convene a
meeting of creditors pursuant to Section 341(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

If the Court confirms a plan but the Debtor fails to consummate
the plan by Oct. 31, 2013, then, the parties will treat the
Consummation Deadline as the Petition Date for purposes of
calculating the deadline for filing Schedules and Statements and
scheduling the Section 341 Meeting.  In addition, then the Debtor
will be required to file all usual monthly operating reports,
beginning with the report for August of 2013 being filed within 15
days of the Consummation Deadline.

ANTIOCH COMPANY: Court OKs $45,000 Bonus Payments to Employees

Company, et al., to pay retention bonuses to certain non-insiders.
Payments will be made upon the earlier of:

To resolve the U.S. Trustee Objection, the Debtors have modified
the structure of the proposed Bonus Payment to one Employee as
described on the record.  The term "Bonus Payments" as used in
this Order refers to the Bonus Payments as modified to resolve the
U.S. Trustee Objection.

BATS GLOBAL: S&P Puts 'BB-' ICR on CreditWatch Positive
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed its ratings on
BATS Global Markets Inc., including its 'BB-' issuer credit rating
and 'BB-' issue-level rating on the company's senior secured
first-lien term loan and revolving credit facility, on CreditWatch
with positive implications.

The CreditWatch action follows BATS' announcement that it is
planning to merge with Direct Edge.  "In our view, the combined
company could benefit from stronger market position and potential
cost savings," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Olga Roman.
"While there is significant overlap between BATS' and Direct
Edge's product offerings and customers, we believe this merger
would significantly increase BATS' market share, enhance the
firm's ability to compete in the U.S. marketplace, and strengthen
the financial risk profile."

BATS is the fourth-largest stock exchange in the U.S. and the
largest pan-European equities trading venue.  With average daily
trading daily volumes in U.S. equities of about 700 million shares
and average daily notional value in European equities of
EUR7.7 billion, BATS had 10.7% market share in U.S. equities and
22.9% market share in European equities as of July 2013.  The
company operates two stock exchanges (BZX and BYX) and an options
market in the U.S., as well as Bats Chi-X Europe.  BZX and BYX
trade listed cash equity securities and exchange-traded products,
but each exchange targets different market segments by offering
pricing alternatives.

Direct Edge is the third-largest stock exchange in the U.S.  The
company develops and operates electronic markets for trading of
cash equity securities listed on other exchanges.  The company
operates two independent exchanges (EDGA and EDGX) that offer
pricing alternatives.  Direct Edge had 10.8% market share as of
July 2013.

A newly formed holding company will acquire both companies.  The
transaction is subject to U.S. antitrust clearance, SEC approval,
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority approval, and U.K.
Financial Conduct Authority approval.

"During the CreditWatch period, we will gather additional
information on the merger, including the companies' integration
plan, expected revenue impact and cost savings, as well as
targeted leverage and capital distributions," said Ms. Roman.

S&P will resolve the CreditWatch status upon the completion of the
merger, which the two companies expect in the first part of 2014,
subject to regulatory approvals.  Alternatively, S&P may resolve
the CreditWatch sooner in the event the merger plans are called
off.  In that case, S&P would reevaluate BATS' creditworthiness as
a stand-alone entity.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Trustee Inks $98MM Deal With Feeder Fund
-----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that the trustee overseeing the liquidation of
Bernard Madoff's investment firm reached a $98 million deal with
Madoff feeder fund MAXAM Absolute Return Fund LP that allows the
fund a $277 million allowed customer claim against the estate.

According to the report, the suit, launched by trustee Irving H.
Picard as an adversary proceeding in Madoff's bankruptcy, was
filed against MARF and its subsidiaries in 2010 in an effort to
recover allegedly fraudulent transfers it obtained through
Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

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

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

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

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

From recoveries in lawsuits coupled with money advanced by SIPC,
Mr. Picard has paid 53 percent of customers' claims totaling $17.3
billion.  Mr. Picard has collected about $9.35 billion, not
including an additional $2.2 billion that was forfeit to the
government and likewise will go to customers.  Mr. Picard is
holding more than $4.7 billion he can't distribute on account of
outstanding appeals and disputes, such as the issue of interest on
customers' claims.  The largest holdback, almost $2.8 billion,
results from disputed claims.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Picard Has $98MM Accord With Maxam Fund
----------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Irving Picard, the trustee overseeing the
Bernard Madoff case, has reached a $98 million settlement with
Maxam Absolute Return Fund, which fed cash into Madoff's Ponzi
scheme.  The deal, disclosed in court papers filed in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan on Monday, followed a series of
other settlements with so-called feeder funds reached by Mr.
Picard.

Accordig to Reuters, the settlement with Maxam returns $97.8
million that the fund had withdrawn from Madoff's firm, according
to court papers.  Maxam in exchange will now have an allowed claim
of nearly $276.7 million in the recovery proceedings.

The deal is subject to bankruptcy court approval.

Reuters notes Maxam had been founded by Sandra Manzke, a former
CEO of Tremont Capital Management Inc, which had also funneled
investor money into Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.
In 2011, Picard reached a $1.025 billion settlement with Tremont,
one of the largest Madoff feeder funds.

Reuters relates that Mr. Picard, to date, has recovered or reached
settlements of $9.35 billion.  Total allowed claims by investors
to date are $11.1 billion, according to the trustee's Web site.

The case is Picard v. Maxam Absolute Return Fund LP et al., U.S.

BIOFUELS POWER: Incurs $299,000 Net Loss in First Half of 2013
--------------------------------------------------------------
Biofuels Power Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $299,367 on $0 of revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $595,431 on $0 of
revenue for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $1.21 million
in total assets, $5.75 million in total liabilities and a $4.54
million total stockholders' deficit.

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

                         http://is.gd/BavwOr

                            Biofuels Power

Humble, Tex.-based Biofuels Power Corporation is a distributed
energy company that is pioneering the use of biodiesel to fuel
small electric generating facilities that are located in close
proximity to end-users.  BPC's first power plant is currently
located near Houston, Texas in the city of Oak Ridge North.

Biofuels Power disclosed net income of $342,456 on $0 of revenue
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a net loss of
$1.28 million on $0 of revenue during the prior year.

Clay Thomas, P.C., in Houston, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has suffered significant losses and will require
additional capital to develop its business until the Company
either (1) achieves a level of revenues adequate to generate
sufficient cash flows from operations; or (2) obtains additional
financing necessary to support its working capital requirements.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.


BROCADE COMMS: Moody's Raises CFR to Ba2; Unsecured Notes to Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Brocade Communications Systems,
Inc.'s corporate family rating to Ba2 from Ba3. Moody's also
upgraded the company's unsecured notes to Ba3 from B1 and the
probability of default to Ba2-PD from Ba3-PD. Brocade's senior
secured revolver and notes were affirmed at Ba1. The ratings
outlook is changed to stable from positive.

Ratings Rationale:

The Ba2 corporate family rating reflects Brocade's continued
leadership position in the storage area networking market (SAN)
and niche position within the broader data networking market
coupled with its strong balance sheet and conservative credit
metrics. Though the company faces challenges in its two primary
markets, the company's strong capital structure allows some
flexibility to manage through technology cycles. Brocade's debt to
EBITDA has declined to 1.4x from well over 3x after the 2008
Foundry acquisition through a combination of debt repayment and
EBITDA growth. Brocade is expected to continue to generate strong
levels of free cash flow, though reduced from earlier periods (LTM
July 2013 free cash flow of $433 million with free cash flow to
debt a very strong 57%) which will likely be used to repurchase
shares and fund modest acquisitions.

Brocade continues to be the leading provider by far in the SAN
market with its well-entrenched, high reliability, Fibre Channel
(FC) architected lines. Brocade has generally maintained a one to
two year lead on introducing next generation SAN equipment over
its main rival Cisco. While the overall SAN market is expected to
have single digit medium term growth prospects, it remains unclear
whether FC will maintain its entrenched position as the
predominant SAN architecture. Brocade is one of the original
developers and a main proponent of Fibre Channel based systems and
has the most to lose if alternative architectures are adopted.
Given Brocades expertise in the SAN market, they are likely to
remain a meaningful SAN player even if FC loses its position.

Brocade is also a niche player in the broader Ethernet market and
considered to have a strong technology portfolio but only a
fraction of the scale or distribution capabilities of Cisco or
Juniper. The business has struggled with soft federal government
spending in recent quarters though there is some expectation of
moderate recovery in that end market.

Liquidity is very good based on $790 million of cash as of July
27, 2013. Free cash flow levels are also expected to remain strong
(though below 2012 levels) offset however by a significant share
buyback program.

Though unlikely in the near term given the uncertainties in the
company's primary markets, ratings could face upward pressure if
the company is able to expand its leading positions in the SAN
industry outside of its FC base and expand its Ethernet business
while maintaining a conservative capital structure. Ratings could
face downward pressure, if Brocade materially loses its position
in the SAN market or leverage increases above 2x on other than a
temporary basis.

The following ratings were affected:

Issuer: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.

Upgrades:

Probability of Default Rating, Upgraded to Ba2-PD from Ba3-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Upgraded to Ba2 from Ba3

$300M 4.625% Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Upgraded
to Ba3 LGD5 81 % from B1 LGD5 78 %

Outlook Actions:

Outlook, Changed To Stable from Positive

Affirmations:

$125M Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Affirmed Ba1

$300M 6.875% Senior Secured Regular Bond/Debenture, Affirmed Ba1

The debt instrument ratings were determined in conjunction with
Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology and reflect the
instruments' relative positions in the capital structure.

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

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. is a leading producer of
storage area network equipment and a niche provider of data
network equipment. Brocade, with revenues of $2.2 billion for the
twelve months ended July 27, 2013, is headquartered in San Jose,
CA.


CENGAGE LEARNING: Has Nod to Use Cash Collateral Until January
--------------------------------------------------------------
On Aug. 20, 2013, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of New York entered a final order authorizing Cengage
Learning, Inc., et al., to use cash collateral of the first lien
and second lien lenders through the earlier to occur of (i) Jan.
10, 2014, (ii) three business days after notice of the date upon

CENVEO INC: Capitalization Concerns Cue Moody's Downgrade Review
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Cenveo, Inc.'s ratings on review
for downgrade, including the company's B3 corporate family rating,
its B3-PD probability of default rating, and the Ba3, B3 and Caa2
ratings applicable to, respectively, its senior secured term loan,
senior secured second lien notes, and senior unsecured global
notes.

The review for downgrade was prompted by concerns that the
company's capital structure is not sustainable, a matter
highlighted by growing financial leverage, the result of
significant revenue and EBITDA declines recorded during the first
half of 2013. With Moody's adjusted leverage now at 7.2x, it is
not clear whether Cenveo can service its debts in a timely
fashion.

On August 21, 2013, Cenveo announced an agreement to purchase
certain of the assets of National Envelope [a company operating
under Chapter 11]. Depending on the magnitude of synergy
realization, the transaction is credit-positive. However, it is
not clear whether the associated benefits are sufficient to offset
pressures in the core businesses, and whether such benefits are
sustainable. Moody's review will assess these matters and their
impact on Cenveo's debt service capabilities and liquidity under
several scenarios, and is expected to be completed within 30 to 45
days.

Cenveo Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc., a
publicly traded holding company. While all debt instruments are
issued by Cenveo Corporation, since Cenveo Inc. guarantees all of
Cenveo Corporation's debt and financial statements are issued only
by Cenveo Inc., Moody's maintains corporate-level ratings and the
associated outlook at Cenveo Inc.

The following summarizes Cenveo's ratings and rating actions:

Issuer: Cenveo, Inc.

  Corporate Family Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade,
  currently B3

  Probability of Default Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade,
  currently B3-PD

Issuer: Cenveo Corporation

  Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Apr 4, 2020, Placed on

  Review for Downgrade, currently B3 (LGD4, 54%)

  Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture May 15, 2017, Placed on

Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $808,946 on $50,326 of sales for the three months
ended June 30, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $1.21 million
on $34,829 of sales for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $6.88 million
in total assets, $11.59 million in total liabilities and a $4.71
million stockholders' deficiency.

                         About Chile Mining

Chile Mining Technologies Inc. is a mineral extraction company
based in the Republic of Chile, with copper as its principal "pay
metal."  Its founders, Messrs. Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana and
Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada, have refined the electrowin
process in a way that permits the electrowin process to be used at
a relatively small mine and/or tailings sites.  Electrowinning is
a process in which positive and negative electrodes are placed in
an acidic solution containing copper ions, and an electric current
passed through the solution causes the copper to be deposited on
the negative electrodes so that it can be collected.

Chile Mining had a net loss of $4.38 million on $261,089 of sales
for the year ended March 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of
$3.94 million on $433,554 of sales during the prior fiscal year.

Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, issued
a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the continuance of the Company is dependent
upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable
operations from the production of copper.  This raises substantial
doubt about it ability to continue as a going concern.


CHINA NATURAL: Reports $3.2 Million Net Income in 2nd Quarter

during the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported net
income of $7.84 million on $69.74 million of revenues, as compared
with net income of $7.02 million on $70.17 million of revenues for
the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2013, showed $299.49
million in total assets, $82.46 million in total liabilities and
$217.02 million in total stockholders' equity.

against the Company by three of the Company's creditors, Abax
Lotus Ltd., Abax Nai Xin A Ltd., and Lake Street Fund LP (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 13-10419).  The Petitioners claimed that they
have debts totaling $42,218,956.88 as a result of the Company's
failure to make payments on the 5% Guaranteed Senior Notes issued
in 2008.  The Company says it intends to oppose the motion.

Adam P. Strochak, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, in
Washington, D.C., represents the Petitioners as counsel.


CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PFA: S&P Affirms 'B' Rating on 1999 Bonds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on on
Contra Costa County Public Financing Authority, Calif.'s senior
series 1999 tax allocation bonds (TABs) outstanding, issued for
Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency (RDA), to stable from
negative.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'B'
rating on the bonds.

"We base the outlook revision on what we consider the successor
agency's recent adequate cash and debt management and use of
unpledged resources to cover annual debt service requirements
without use of the debt service reserve fund, despite continued
assessed value declines in the Bay Point Project Area," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sussan Corson.

The rating reflects what S&P considers the credit characteristics
of the weakest project area loan related to the Bay Point Project
Area, including:

   -- Insufficient 0.6x senior maximum annual debt service
      coverage from pledged revenues based on the fiscal 2013 tax
      base;

   -- Continued declines in assessed value (AV);

   -- A moderately high volatility ratio of 0.48, which suggests
      that even minor further AV declines will likely have a
      proportionally larger effect on pledged revenues; and

   -- High taxpayer concentration.

The preceding weaknesses are offset, in part, by S&P's view of a
cash-funded debt service reserve fund for the Bay Point project
area series 1999 TABs loan, invested in a U.S. Bank N.A. money
market fund, and the Bay Point project area's portion of the
surety reserve provided by National Public Financial Guarantee
Corp. (formerly MBIA) for the series 2007A nonhousing TABs, which
enjoy a senior parity lien on the project area's pledged
nonhousing tax revenue.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the successor
agency will continue to demonstrate adequate cash and debt
management and use unpledged resources to cover annual debt
service requirements without the use of the debt service reserve
fund.  Given these factors, despite insufficient debt service
coverage by pledged revenue, S&P don't expect to change the rating
in the next year.

The project areas are in Contra Costa County (estimated population
of about 1 million), which fully participates in the Bay Area
economy and employment base.  Located approximately 20 miles from
San Francisco, Contra Costa County is one of nine counties that
comprise the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area.


CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PFA: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Rating on 2007A Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Contra
Costa County Public Financing Authority, Calif.'s senior series
2007A and A-T tax allocation revenue bonds outstanding, issued for
Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency (RDA), to stable from
negative.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB+'
underlying rating (SPUR) on the bonds.

"We base the outlook revision on the authority's recent
restructuring of debt service that raised annual senior coverage
to at least 1x through 2035 by fiscal 2013 pledged tax revenue,
despite continued declines in assessed value," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Sussan Corson.

The SPUR reflects what S&P views as:

   -- Adequate 1.05x annual coverage of series A and series A-T
      annual debt service in fiscal 2013, which falls below 1x
      after 2035 assuming no change in revenue or project area
      loan amounts;

   -- The successor agency's (SA) demonstrated cash and debt
      management to meet annual debt service requirements;

   -- Series 2007A and A-T debt service reserves fully funded with
      sureties from National Public Finance Guarantee Corp.
      (formerly MBIA);

   -- Continued assessed value (AV) declines across the five
      project areas that support debt service, including another
      2% annual decline in AV in fiscal 2013 to less than
      $1.8 billion; and

   -- A concentrated tax base across the five project areas with
      53% of total incremental AV in the leading 10 taxpayers.

The authority's series 2007A and A-T tax allocation revenue bonds
are secured by a senior-lien claim on authority-level revenues,
which are a combination of housing and nonhousing loan repayments
to the authority from individual project areas, including Contra
Costa Centre, North Richmond, Bay Point, Rodeo, and Montalvin
Manor project areas.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view of the SA's recent
restructuring of debt service that raised annual senior coverage
to at least 1x through 2035 by fiscal 2013 pledged tax revenue.
Should additional AV declines in these areas cause currently
scheduled annual senior coverage by pledged revenue to fall below
1x, S&P could lower the rating further in the next year.  While
not expected in the next year, should AV across all of the project
areas show signs of long-term stabilization and growth to generate
sufficient pledged revenue for loan and parity obligations, S&P
could raise the rating.

The project areas are in Contra Costa County (estimated population
of about 1 million), which fully participates in the Bay Area
economy and employment base.  Located approximately 20 miles from
San Francisco, Contra Costa County is one of nine counties that
comprise the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area.


CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PFA: S&P Affirms 'B' Rating on 2007B Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Contra
Costa County Public Financing Authority, Calif.'s series 2007B
subordinate-lien tax allocation revenue bonds outstanding, issued
for Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency (RDA), to stable from
negative.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'B'
underlying rating (SPUR) on the bonds.

"We revised the outlook based on what we consider the successor
agency's recent adequate cash and debt management and use of
unpledged resources to cover annual debt service requirements
without use of the debt service reserve fund," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Sussan Corson.

The SPUR reflects what S&P views as:

   -- Continued inadequate combined senior and subordinate 0.86x
      annual debt service coverage in fiscal 2013 by pledged loan
      payments, even after the restructuring of senior series
      2007A debt service.

   -- Continued declines in assessed value (AV) across four of the
      five project areas, including Contra Costa Centre, to less
      than $1.8 billion in fiscal 2013.

   -- A concentrated tax base across the five project areas with
      53% of total incremental AV in the leading 10 taxpayers; and

   -- Debt service reserves funded with nonrated sureties from
      Radian Asset Assurance Inc.

The authority's series 2007B subordinate tax allocation revenue
bonds are secured by a subordinate-lien claim on authority-level
revenues, which are a combination of housing and nonhousing loan
repayments to the authority from individual project areas,
including the Contra Costa Centre, North Richmond, Bay Point,
Rodeo, and Montalvin Manor project areas.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the successor
agency will continue to demonstrate adequate cash and debt
management and use unpledged resources to cover annual debt
service requirements without the use of the debt service reserve
fund.  Given these factors, despite insufficient debt service
coverage by pledged revenue, S&P don't expect to change the rating
in the next year.


CROSSOVER FINANCIAL: Files Fourth Amended Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Crossover Financial I, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
Fourth Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization dated Aug. 21,
2013, that provides for the conveyance of the assets of the
estate, primarily the real estate, to the Liquidating Trust.

Under the new Plan, the Liquidating Trustee will determine the
best method for selling the property, which includes the authority
to propose an auction procedure, in the exercise of the
Liquidating Trustee's reasonable business judgment.

Pursuant to the new Plan, the 108 Noteholder claimants in Class 5,
owed a total of $21,454,000, will receive the balance of the
proceeds of sale of the Real Property after the payment of
unclassified administrative expenses and the secured claims in
Classes 2, 3, and 4.

Pursuant to Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent that
proceeds from the sale of the Real Property are insufficient to
pay the principal amount of the promissory notes in full, any
unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest and other
charges will be treated as a Class 11 Unsecured Claim.

Class 11 consists of any unsecured portion of claims in Classes 2
through 10 as a result of the bifurcation of the respective claims
under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other portion of
the claims that may disallowed as secured claims.

It is not expected that unsecured claims will receive
distributions under the plan.

Upon completion of the distributions to creditors in Classes 2
through 11, Mitchell Yellen's membership interest will be
cancelled and the Equity Claims will not receive any distributions
under the plan and will not receive any property under the plan.

C. Randel Lewis, Principal and Founder of Western Receiver,
Trustee & Consulting Services Ltd., will serve as the Liquidating
Trustee and deemed to have been appointed as representative of the
estate by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section
1123(b)(3)(B).  Mr. Lewis will be entitled to compensation for his
services on an hourly basis at his normal hourly rate of $385 per
hour.

                    About Crossover Financial I

Crossover Financial I, LLC, based in Elizabeth, Colorado, was
formed on Aug. 12, 2005.  Mitchell B. Yellen is the manager and
sole member.  The Company was formed for the purpose of raising
funds through a Private Placement Memorandum to be loaned to an
entity known as HPR, LLC, in connection with the acquisition and
development of 440 acres of real property located near Monument,
Colorado.

HPR consisted of three members: Colorado Commercial Builders, Inc.
(37.5%); DJT, LLC (20.0%); and Yellen Family Partnership, LLLP
(42.5%).  Mitchell Yellen held an interest in the Yellen Family
Partnership, LLLP.

The project stalled primarily as a result of a collapse in the
residential real estate development market in 2007 and potential
developers pulled out of the project.  There has been no
further development activity on the Real Property since 2007.

Faced with the prospect of a lengthy foreclosure proceeding, the
Debtor entered into to an agreement with HPR whereby the Real
Property was transferred to the Debtor by way of a deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure.  Upon acquiring the Real Property, the Debtor
attempted to bring in additional developers to continue the
project but those efforts were unsuccessful.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Colo. Case
No. 11-24257) on June 15, 2011.  Judge Sidney B. Brooks presides
over the case.

Stephen C. Nicholls, Esq., at Nicholls & Associates, P.C., in
Denver, serves as bankruptcy counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor
estimated assets and debts of $10 million to $50 million.  The
petition was signed by Mitchell B. Yellen.  Karen McClaflin of
Home Source Realty, LLC, Colorado acts as real estate broker for
the Estate.

An official unsecured creditors committee has not been appointed.

DARLING INTERNATIONAL: Moody's Rates New Debt Facilities 'Ba1'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to Darling
International Inc.'s proposed $750 million senior secured
revolving credit facility and its proposed $350 million delayed
draw senior secured Term Loan A. All other ratings are affirmed.
Proceeds of the issuance are expected to be used to finance the
company's proposed acquisition of all of the assets of Rothsay, a
division of Maple Leaf Foods Inc. for approximately CAD645 million
in cash. Rothsay is a leading recycler of animal by-products in
Canada.

If, as part of this transaction, Darling's $250 million senior
unsecured notes receive collateral and become pari passu with the
bank facilities, Moody's expects the notes to be upgraded from Ba2
to Ba1.

The following ratings are assigned, subject to Moody's review of
final documentation:

Darling International Inc.

  $750 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2018
  at Ba1 (LGD 4, 51%)

  $350 million senior secured delayed draw term loan A due 2018
  at Ba1 (LGD 4, 51%)

Ratings affirmed

  Corporate Family Rating of Ba1

  Probability of Default Rating of Ba1-PD

  $415 million senior secured revolver due 2015 at Baa3 (LGD2,
  25%)

  $250 million senior unsecured notes due 2018 at Ba2 (LGD5, 77%)

  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL -- 1

The outlook is stable.

Moody's expects to withdraw the rating on the $415 million senior
secured revolver upon closing of the new $750 million senior
secured revolver.

DETROIT, MI: Judge Directs Aug. 29 Mediation With Syncora
---------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church, writing for Bloomberg News, reports that U.S.
District Judge Gerald Rosen in Detroit ordered Syncora Guarantee
Inc., the city of Detroit, and swaps holders including Merrill
Lynch Capital Services Inc. to meet with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Elizabeth Perris of Oregon to try to settle their dispute over a
proposed $253 million swaps settlement.

According to Bloomberg, in an Aug. 23 order filed with the
bankruptcy court, Judge Rosen told participants to e-mail the
mediator with "suggested ways that the mediation might resolve,"
the dispute.  Detroit, Syncora and about 20 other groups were
ordered to meet with Judge Perris on Aug. 29 in Detroit.  The
report notes Judge Perris has been a court-appointed mediator for
three California cities that also filed bankruptcy, Vallejo,
Mammoth Lakes and Stockton.  Stockton remains in bankruptcy.

Bloomberg notes Detroit is seeking to buy its way out of an
interest-rate swaps contract to save about $50 million a year, a
proposal that Syncora asked a bankruptcy judge to reject when it
comes before the court next month.  The report relates that, after
Detroit sought bankruptcy protection, its emergency manager, Kevyn
Orr, asked the judge overseeing the $18 billion case to approve
the settlement with Merrill Lynch and UBS AG.  Syncora, which sold
insurance on the swaps, opposes the settlement, claiming that
ending the contract too early could hurt its economic interests.

Bloomberg reports that under the settlement, swap providers would
be paid at least 75 percent of what they're owed, depending on
when the contract is canceled.  Detroit attorney Corinne Ball,
Esq., a partner at Jones Day in New York, said in court on Aug. 21
that the discounted value of the swaps was about $190 million.
That means the swaps providers are owed about $253.3 million,
Bloomberg continues.  Retirees and many of the city's other
unsecured debtholders, with about $11.5 billion of claims, were
asked to take about $2 billion, or 17 percent, under Mr. Orr's
June 14 proposal.

DETROIT, MI: Bankruptcy Judge Speeds Up Part of Eligibility Fight
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that Detroit's
bankruptcy judge will hear some legal arguments one month earlier
than planned about why the record-setting, $18 billion case should
be thrown out.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes will
also block until later on in the case objections related to any
potential cuts to city-worker pensions, saying that fight should
wait until a plan to adjust the city's debt has been filed.

Any objections to the city's bankruptcy that don't involve a
dispute over facts, only the interpretation of legal issues raised
by creditors, will be heard on Sept. 18 in federal court in
Detroit, Rhodes said in an order released on Aug. 26, the report
related.

"The court further concludes that a prompt oral argument on these
legal issues will promote just, speedy and efficient determination
of the city's eligibility," he wrote, the report added. The
original hearing on eligibility, set for Oct. 23, will remain
unchanged and will be reserved for disputes over facts.

Since the city filed the biggest-ever U.S. municipal bankruptcy,
Rhodes has kept the case moving quickly, pushing up a timetable
suggested by Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, and setting
earlier deadlines than some parties in the case had requested, the
report further related.

EASTMAN KODAK: Settles Dispute With GOT Over Patent Transfer
------------------------------------------------------------
Eastman Kodak Co. asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper to
approve an agreement with Global OLED Technology LLC to end their
dispute over the transfer of Kodak patents to the tech firm.

The transfer of patents was part of the purchase agreement made
between Kodak and a group of tech firms led by LG Display Co.,
Ltd. in 2009.  Global OLED was the assignee of the LG-led group
under the 2009 deal.

Pursuant to the settlement, Kodak will keep 15 of the 18 patents
that Global OLED claimed should have been also transferred to the
tech firm.  The three remaining patents will be transferred to
Global OLED.

The settlement agreement requires Global OLED to dismiss its
lawsuit for declaratory judgment against Kodak, which it filed
late last year to prove that it acquired the disputed patents and
that Kodak has no interest in those patents.  Global OLED also
agreed to drop its claim against Kodak tied to the 2009 deal.

The settlement is formalized in a nine-page agreement, which can
be accessed for free at http://is.gd/g5Qpqn

Judge Gropper will hold a hearing on Sept. 16 to consider approval
of the agreement.  Objections are due by Sept. 9.

petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 12-10202) in Manhattan.
Subsidiaries outside of the U.S. were not included in the filing
and are expected to continue to operate as usual.

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

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

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

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

Michael S. Stamer, Esq., David H. Botter, Esq., and Abid Qureshi,

The Retirees Committee has hired Haskell Slaughter Young &
Rediker, LLC, and Arent Fox, LLC as Co-Counsel; Zolfo Cooper,

Kodak completed the $527 million sale of digital-imaging
technology on Feb. 1, 2013.  Kodak intends to reorganize by
focusing on the commercial printing business.

At the end of April 2013, Kodak filed a proposed reorganization
plan offering 85 percent of the stock to holders of the remaining
$375 million in second-lien notes. The other 15 percent is for
unsecured creditors with $2.7 billion in claims and retirees who
have a $635 million claim from the loss of retirement benefits.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"We cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on
acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when
needed could limit our ability to continue and expand our
business.  We intend to overcome the circumstances that impact our
ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the
commencement of additional revenues, of which there can be no
assurance, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed
through additional equity and debt financing.  Our ability to
obtain additional funding for the remainder of the 2012 year and
thereafter will determine our ability to continue as a going
concern.  There can be no assurances that these plans for
additional financing will be successful.  Failure to secure
additional financing in a timely manner to repay our obligations
and supply us sufficient funds to continue our business operations
and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have
a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of
operations and stock price and require us to implement cost
reduction initiatives and curtail operations.  Furthermore,
additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our
common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary
to raise additional funds, and may require that we relinquish
valuable rights.  In the event that we are unable to repay our
current and long-term obligations as they come due, we could be
forced to curtail or abandon our business operations, and/or file
for bankruptcy protection; the result of which would likely be
that our securities would decline in value and/or become
worthless."

EXCEL MARITIME: Committee Seeks to Retain Akin Gump as Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Excel Maritime
Carriers Ltd., et al. seeks court approval to retain Akin Gump
Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP as its counsel, nunc pro tunc to
July 10, 2013.

Akin Gump will be paid on an hourly basis in accordance with its
ordinary and customary hourly rates in effect on the date the
services are rendered, subject to Sections 330 and 331 of the
Bankruptcy Code.  The current hourly rates charged by Akin Gump
for professionals and paraprofessionals employed in its offices
are:

      Billing Category               Range
      ----------------               -----
      Partners                     $515 - $1,220
      Senior Counsel and Counsel   $455 - $880
      Associates                   $365 - $700
      Paraprofessionals            $145 - $325

The names, positions and current hourly rates of the Akin Gump
financial restructuring attorneys currently expected to have
primary responsibility for providing services to the Committee
are:

      Michael S. Stamer (Partner - Financial Restructuring
      Department) - $1,100/hour;

      Sarah Link Schultz (Partner - Financial Restructuring
      Department) - $850/hour;

      Kevin M. Eide (Associate - Financial Restructuring
      Department) - $650/hour;

      Jason S. Sharp (Associate - Financial Restructuring
      Department) - $400/hour.

The Committee also requests that the Court authorize Akin Gump to
retain foreign counsel to advise the Committee and Akin Gump on
certain limited issues relating to (i) disputes between Robertson
Maritime Investors, LLC, (ii) the European Union data protection
laws and the way they relate to the Debtors and their foreign non-
Debtor affiliates (iii) the validity and perfection of the liens
of the Debtors' prepetition secured lenders.

Nate Van Duzer, Managing Director, Special Situations, at Fidelity
Investments, as Chair of the Committee, says that as a result of
the disputes between Robertson and the Debtors involving Christine
Shipco LLC, the sole asset from which the Debtors propose to
provide a recovery to the unsecured creditors, the Committee may
need to seek guidance from counsel with expertise in the laws of
the Marshall Islands, the law governing
Christine Shipco's limited liability company agreement.

In addition, the Debtors assert that certain discoverable
information relating to this Court's discovery orders is protected
from disclosure by certain European Union data protection laws.
As a result, the Committee may need to seek advice from counsel
within the European Union regarding such issues.  Finally, in its
analysis of the liens of the Debtors' pre-petition secured
lenders, the Committee may require the
assistance of counsel in other foreign jurisdictions, including
Liberia, to determine the validity of such liens, explains Mr.
Duzer.

The Committee, therefore, requests that the Court authorize Akin
Gump to retain foreign counsel, if necessary, for the limited
purpose of advising the Committee on issues relating to the
interpretation and application of foreign law.  The Committee also
requests that Akin Gump be allowed to include the fees of such
retention in its fee statements and applications to the Court as
expenses, up to an amount not to exceed $75,000 per foreign
counsel (the Fee Cap).  Akin Gump will attach copies of any
Foreign Counsel's invoices to its fee statements and applications
to the Court.

To provide the Court and parties-in-interest with information
regarding each Foreign Counsel's disinterestedness, the Committee
proposes that no later than 30 days after the retention of a
Foreign Counsel, the Foreign Counsel will be required to file with
the Court and serve a verified statement pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 2014, upon the following parties:

   (a) the Debtors, c/o Maryville Maritime Inc., 17 Km of
       National Rd AthensLamia & Finikos St., 145 64 Nea Kifisia
       Athens, Greece

   (b) counsel to the Debtors, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
       Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, NY 10036, Attn: Jay
       M. Goffman -- Jay.Goffman@skadden.com -- and Mark A.
       McDermott -- Mark.McDermott@skadden.com ;

   (c) the Office of the United States Trustee, U.S. Federal
       Office Building, 201 Varick Street, Suite 1006, New York,
       NY 10014, Attn: Paul K. Schwartzberg --
       Paul.Schwartzberg@usdoj.gov ;

   (d) counsel to any other official committee appointed in the
       Bankruptcy;

   (e) counsel to the Steering Committee, Holland & Knight LLP,
       10 St. James Avenue, Boston, MA 02116, Attn: John J.
       Monaghan -- John.Monaghan@hklaw.com

Upon receipt of each Verified Statement, the Notice Parties will
be given 20 day after service of such Verified Statement to object
to the retention of such Foreign Counsel.  If no objection is
served on or before the Objection Deadline, or if any objection is
timely resolved, the Committee requests that, without further
order of the Court, the employment, retention, and payment of the
Foreign Counsel be deemed approved nunc pro tunc to the date of
such Foreign Counsel's retention.  Akin Gump will not pay any
Foreign Counsel's fees or expenses until such Foreign Counsel's
retention be deemed approved in accordance with these procedures
and Akin Gump has been paid by the Debtors for such fees.  In no
event, however, shall Akin Gump be liable to any Foreign Counsel
for unpaid fees or expenses.

A notice of presentment of the application was signed by Michael
S. Stamer -- mstamer@akingump.com -- Sean E. O'Donnell --
sodonnell@akingump.com -- Sunish Gulati -- sgulati@akingump.com
-- and Sarah Link Schultz -- sschultz@akingump.com -- at Akin Gump

EXCEL MARITIME: Gets OK to Hire Intermodal as Ship Broker
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
authorized Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd., et al. to employ
Intermodal Shipbrokers Co. as ship broker in their chapter 11
cases, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

Judge Drain ruled that:

(a) Intermodal is relieved of the obligation to maintain time
    records;

(b) Intermodal will be entitled to a commission only if the
    Vessels are sold to a buyer other than the Stalking Horse
    Bidder;

(c) Intermodal's commission, if any, shall be paid only out of
    proceeds of the sale of the Vessels; and

(d) Intermodal will be entitled to reimbursement for its
    reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection
    with its engagement.

The Debtors must notify the United States Trustee and counsel for
the official committee of unsecured creditors of their intent to
pay a commission to Intermodal or reimburse out-of-pocket costs or
expenses, Judge Drain added.  If none of those parties objects by
5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the 5th business day after the
notification, on the 6th business day the Debtors are authorized
to pay the commission or reimbursement as an administrative
expense without further order of the Court.  If a party objects to
such intent, the matter will be set for hearing as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter.

The Court further rules that with respect to the Indemnification
provision, the phrase ",other than claims, actions, suits,
demands, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, settlements,
judgments, costs and expenses judicially determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the
breach of fiduciary duty, willful misconduct or gross negligence
of Intermodal, or its directors, officers, employees, agents and
stockholders." is added to the end of the sentence.

All requests for the payment of indemnification will be made by
means of an application to the Court and will be subject to review
by the Court to ensure that payment of the indemnity conforms to
the terms of the Engagement Letter and is reasonable under the
circumstances of the litigation or settlement in
respect of which indemnity is sought, Judge Drain held.

  Jefferies, whether or not any Transaction occurs, the Debtors
  will reimburse Jefferies for all out-of-pocket expenses

  reasonable fees and expenses of any other independent experts
  retained by of each Jefferies) incurred by Jefferies and its
  designated affiliates in connection with the engagement
  in accordance with any orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court
  governing the reimbursement of expenses incurred by court-
  retained professionals.

The Committee and Jefferies also seek approval of indemnification
provisions in the parties' engagement letter.

Mr. Van Duzer says the employment of Jefferies, effective as of
July 12, 2013, is in the best interests of the Committee, the
Debtors and their estates and creditors.

FENWICK AUTOMOTIVE: Tiger Group Conducts Bid Offering for Assets
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tiger Group's Remarketing Services Division is liquidating the
former assets of one of North America's biggest auto parts
suppliers -- Fenco (Fenwick Automotive Products Ltd., Introcan and
related entities) -- in a bid offering that closes on Aug. 29 at
12:00 p.m. ET.

The court-supervised sale, which includes inventory and equipment
groupings in Pennsylvania, California, Canada and Mexico, is
extraordinary in scope and scale, said Andy Babcock, Tiger Group's
Director of Inventory Strategies.  "Fenco was a major supplier to
companies like AutoZone, GM and NAPA Auto Parts, with annual
revenues of approximately $200 million," Mr. Babcock noted.  "This
sealed-bid offering includes the gamut of Fenco's assets, from
complete business units and equipment groupings, to receivables,
real estate, IP and some $60 million in diverse inventory."

On June 10, 2013, Fenwick, Introcan and related entities filed for
Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del.  The
Torrance, Calif.-based companies had sold new and remanufactured
parts under private-label and the Fenco and DynaPak brand names
for passenger vehicles and trucks sold across the globe.  Parts
sold by the companies included steering components, brake
calipers, master cylinders, hub assemblies, clutches and
hydraulics.

As part of the bid offering, major asset groupings are available
to interested parties, Tiger announced.  Examples of such
groupings include the complete Fenco operation, the wheel-hub
business unit, the equity interest in Fenco's FAPCO Maquiladora
operation in Mexico, or all inventory of a particular product
line.

With an at-cost value of $30 million, the finished goods include
new and remanufactured aftermarket auto parts, as well as product
lines such as steering systems, brake calipers, wheel hubs, brake
master cylinders, CV joints, clutches and more.

The cores available in the sale have a total at-cost value of $18
million.  These include power steering pumps, gears, rack-and-
pinion, brake calipers and brackets, master cylinders, clutch
kits, masters and slaves, and CV Joints. All cores are sorted,
organized and layered in steel bins by part number and will be
sold with the bins.

With an at-cost value of $12 million, the available raw material
includes new imported brackets, semi-loaded and complete calipers,
bleeder kits, O-rings, rack-and-pinion seals, tier rods, pump
reservoirs, valves, shafts and much more, along with all related
packaging.

The manufacturing and remanufacturing equipment being sold include
grinders, shot blasters, finishing equipment, machine shops,
testing equipment and material-handling equipment, along with
pallet racking, trailers, and a wide variety of hand and power
tools.

The accounts receivable are listed at $31 million.  In addition,
the Fenco and Dynapak Trademarks, along with the parts database

                      About FiberTower Corp.

FiberTower Corporation, FiberTower Network Services Corp.,
FiberTower Licensing Corp., and FiberTower Spectrum Holdings
LLC filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case Nos.
12-44027 to 12-44031) on July 17, 2012, together with a plan
support agreement struck with prepetition secured noteholders.

FiberTower is an alternative provider of facilities-based backhaul
services, principally to wireless carriers, and a national
provider of millimeter-band spectrum services.  Backhaul is the
transport of voice, video and data traffic from a wireless
carrier's mobile base station, or cell site, to its mobile
switching center or other exchange point.  FiberTower provides
spectrum leasing services directly to other carriers and
enterprise clients, and also offer their spectrum services through
spectrum brokerage arrangements and through fixed wireless
equipment partners.

FiberTower's significant asset is the ownership of a national
spectrum portfolio of 24 GHz and 39 GHz wide-area spectrum
licenses, including over 740 MHz in the top 20 U.S. metropolitan
areas and, in the aggregate, roughly 1.72 billion channel pops
(calculated as the number of channels in a given area multiplied
by the population, as measured in the 2010 census, covered by
these channels).  FiberTower believes the Spectrum Portfolio
represents one of the largest and most comprehensive collections
of millimeter wave spectrum in the U.S., covering areas with a
total population of over 300 million.

As of the Petition Date, FiberTower provides service to roughly
5,390 customer locations at 3,188 deployed sites in 13 markets
throughout the U.S.  The fixed wireless portion of these hybrid
services is predominantly through common carrier spectrum in the
11, 18 and 23 GHz bands.  FiberTower's biggest service markets are
Dallas/Fort Worth and Washington, D.C./Baltimore, with additional
markets in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit,
Houston, New York/New Jersey, Pittsburgh, San Antonio/Austin/Waco
and Tampa.

As of June 30, 2012, FiberTower's books and records reflected
total combined assets, at book value, of roughly $188 million and
total combined liabilities of roughly $211 million.  As of the
Petition Date, FiberTower had unrestricted cash of roughly $23
million.  For the six months ending June 30, 2012, FiberTower had
total revenue of roughly $33 million.  With the help of FTI
Consulting Inc., FiberTower's preliminary valuation work shows
that the Company's enterprise value is materially less than $132
million -- i.e., the approximate principal amount of the 9.00%
Senior Secured Notes due 2016 outstanding as of the Petition Date.
The preliminary valuation work is based upon the assumption that
FiberTower's spectrum licenses will not be terminated.  Fibertower
Spectrum disclosed $106,630,000 in assets and $175,501,975 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Judge D. Michael Lynn oversees the Chapter 11 case.  Lawyers at
Andrews Kurth LLP serve as the Debtors' lead counsel.  Lawyers at

     other reasonable fees. The Debtor believes that the Plan
     will be acceptable to Wells Fargo.

  -- Holders of "affiliate unsecured claims" (Class 6) will
     receive, on the Effective Date, a cash flow note which will
     accrue interest at 1% per annum but provide for no payments
     from the Debtor until the repayment in full of all amounts

raises a substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a
going concern.

GREAT LAKES: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3 & Unsecured Notes to Caa1
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Great Lakes Dredge & Dock
Corporation's ratings including its Corporate Family Rating to B3
from B2 and Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD.
Concurrently, Moody's lowered the ratings on the company's
unsecured notes due 2019 to Caa1 from B3. Great Lakes' speculative
grade liquidity rating was affirmed at SGL-3. The ratings outlook
was changed to stable from negative.

The ratings downgrade was prompted by Great Lakes' weaker-than-
expected operating performance and Moody's view that,
notwithstanding some improvement expected during the second half
of 2013, the company's credit metrics will likely remain at levels
more reflective of a B3 rating. Uncertainty regarding the degree
of intermediate term free cash flow improvement, weaker than
expected cash balances and tight covenant headroom were also
considered in the downgrade.

According to Moody's Analyst Gigi Adamo, "we expect the dredging
business to show stronger results during the second half of 2013,
but the demolition business will probably remain a drag on
earnings and cash flow."

Ratings downgraded:

  Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2;

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

  $250 million 7.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 to Caa1
  (LGD-5, 70%) from B3 (LGD-4, 58%)

Ratings affirmed:

  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, affirmed at SGL-3

Outlook actions:

Outlook, changed to stable from negative

Ratings Rationale:

Great Lakes' recent operating performance has been below
expectations, as a result of a $21.5 million impairment charge in
its demolition business in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as
well as delays in certain of the company's dredging work abroad
and domestically. In Moody's view, the expectation of improvement
in the second half of the year could emanate from greater
utilization of the company's vessels as Great Lakes has started
work on its Wheatstone Australia LNG project as well as some
projects reflected in its backlog including work to be started in
the Port Miami deepening project later in the year. However,
credit metrics are not likely to improve sufficiently to be
reflective of the B2 rating level over the intermediate term due
to the extent to which EBITDA generation would have to improve
from current depressed levels and likelihood that there will not
be sufficient cash flow generation over the intermediate term to
meaningfully reduce debt. Credit metrics over the next twelve
months will likely improve from current levels to debt/EBITDA of
roughly 5.0 times and interest coverage of 1.0 times (on a Moody's
adjusted basis including leases).

The affirmation of Great Lakes' short-term SGL-3 rating reflects
Moody's expectation that the company's liquidity profile over the
next twelve months will remain adequate. Free cash flow is
expected to remain negative through the second half of 2013,
increasing the likelihood that the revolver will continue to be
relied upon with tight covenant headroom. The lower headroom could
continue to restrict full availability under the company's $175
million revolving credit facility put in place last year.

The stable outlook is supported by the company's historically high
backlog levels, the realization of which should contribute to a
modest improvement in the company's liquidity profile. In Moody's
view, investments the company has made to date could support
anticipated expected revenue growth over the intermediate term.

The ratings could be raised if the company continues to have a
healthy backlog, debt to EBITDA is lowered and sustained below the
4.5 times range, and if there is a meaningful improvement in the
company's liquidity profile. In addition, any ratings upgrade
would be predicated on Great Lakes' addressing internal control
weaknesses.

Evidence of further erosion in the company's earnings performance,
liquidity profile or financial metrics such that debt/EBITDA is
sustained well above 6.0 times could pressure ratings.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Construction Methodology published in November 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.

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, founded in 1890 and
headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois is the largest provider of
dredging services in the United States. Approximately 10% of Great
Lakes' revenues are derived from demolition operations. Revenues
for the last twelve months ended June 30, 2013 approximated $711
million.


GREAT PLAINS EXPLORATION: Balks at Wells Fargo's Conversion Motion
------------------------------------------------------------------
Great Plains Exploration, LLC, by and through its counsel,
Bernstein-Burkley, P.C., objects to the motion of Wells Fargo
Equipment Finance, Inc., to convert the Debtor's Chapter 11 case
to one under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, citing:

  1. Wells Fargo is adequately protected by its lien on the
collateral, is receiving interest payments in accordance with the
prior adequate protection stipulation, and does not set forth
sufficient grounds for converting the case.

  2. The Debtor's Plan has not been denied confirmation and the
Debtor's Disclosure Statement remains under consideration by the
Court.  Debtor continues its attempts to work through the
objections and arrive at a Plan and Disclosure statement, which
must be filed by Sept. 23, 2013.

  3. Wells Fargo is adequately protected by its collateral and the
interest payments.  No other creditor seeks to convert the case to
Chapter 7.  On the contrary, other creditors continue to work with
the Debtor to fashion reorganization in this case.

  4. The Debtor submits that if Wells Fargo feels that its
protection is inadequate, it has the ability to bring that concern
to the attention of the Court by way of its Motion for Relief from
Stay, which the Debtor also believes in not well made.

  5. Conversion is neither warranted nor appropriate under the
circumstances of this case.

The Response was filed by:

         Robert S. Bernstein, Esq.
         Suite 2200, Gulf Tower
         Pittsburgh, PA 15219

         Fax: (412) 456-8251
         E-mail: rbernstein@bernsteinlaw.com
         Counsel for Great Plains Exploration, LLC

As reported in the TCR on July 18, 2013, Wells Fargo, through its
counsel, Scott McGuireWoods LLP, related that the Debtor has had
more than adequate opportunity to restructure its business
operations and present a viable plan of reorganization, but has
failed to do so.

Mentor, Ohio-based John D. Oil & Gas Co., is in the business of
acquiring, exploring, developing, and producing oil and natural
gas in Northeast Ohio.  The Company has 58 producing wells.  The
Company also has one self storage facility located in Painesville,
Ohio.  The self-storage facility is operated through a partnership
agreement between Liberty Self-Stor Ltd. and the Company.

John D. Oil's affiliated entities -- Oz Gas, LTD., and Great
Plains Exploration, LLC -- filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions
(Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case Nos. 12-10057 and 12-10058) on Jan. 11,
2012.  Two days later, John D. Oil filed its own Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case No. 12-10063).

On Nov. 21, 2011, at the request of the lender RBS Citizens, N.A.,
dba Charter One, a receiver was appointed for all three corporate
Debtors, in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Ohio at case No. 11-cv-2089-CAB.  District Judge
Christopher A. Boyko issued an order appointing Mark E. Dottore as
receiver.  The Receivership Order was appealed to the Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals on Dec. 19, 2011 and the appeal is
currently pending.

Judge Thomas P. Agresti oversees the Chapter 11 cases.  Robert S.
Bernstein, Esq., at Bernstein Law Firm P.C., serves as counsel to
the Debtors.  Each of Great Plains and Oz Gas estimated
$10 million to $50 million in assets and debts.  John D. Oil's
balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $8.12 million in total
assets, $12.92 million in total liabilities and a $4.79 million
total deficit.  The petitions were signed by Richard M. Osborne,
CEO.

The United States Trustee said a committee under 11 U.S.C. Sec.
1102 has not been appointed because no unsecured creditor
responded to the U.S. Trustee's communication for service on the
committee.

$4.39 million in total assets and $1.74 million in stockholders'
equity.

"Our recent capital raise, as well as progress on the
international front, including the $3.0 million purchase order
from our Turkish distributor, gives us increased confidence that
we can reach breakeven with our international business alone in
the next 12 to 18 months," said Mark L. Faupel, Ph.D., chief
executive officer and president of Guided Therapeutics.  "We also
expect to see improving operating margins over the coming months
for our single-use disposable, due to anticipated increases in
disposable sales."

                        About IMH Financial

Scottsdale, Ariz.-based IMH Financial Corporation was formed from
the conversion of IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC, or the Fund, a
Delaware limited liability company, on June 18, 2010.  The
conversion was effected following a consent solicitation process
pursuant to which approval was obtained from a majority of the
members of the Fund to effect the Conversion Transactions and
involved (i) the conversion of the Fund from a Delaware limited
liability company into a Delaware corporation named IMH Financial
Corporation, and (ii) the acquisition by the Company of all of the
outstanding shares of the manager of the Fund Investors Mortgage
Holdings Inc., or the Manager, as well as all of the outstanding
membership interests of a related entity, IMH Holdings LLC, or
Holdings on June 18, 2010.

The Company is a commercial real estate lender based in the
southwest United States with over 12 years of experience in many
facets of the real estate investment process, including
origination, underwriting, documentation, servicing, construction,
enforcement, development, marketing, and disposition.  The Company
focuses on a niche segment of the real estate market that it
believes is underserved by community, regional and national banks:
high yield, short-term, senior secured real estate mortgage loans.
The intense level of underwriting analysis required in this
segment necessitates personnel and expertise that many community
banks lack, yet the requisite localized market knowledge of the
underwriting process and the size of the loans the Company seeks
often precludes the regional and community banks from efficiently
entering this market.

IMH Financial disclosed a net loss of $32.19 million in 2012, a
net loss of $35.19 million in in 2011, and a net loss of
$117.04 million in 2010.


INSITE WIRELESS: Fitch Rates $39.6MM Class B Notes at 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned the following ratings and Outlooks to
InSite Wireless Group, LLC Secured Cellular Site Revenue Notes,
Series 2013-1:

-- $123,900,000 2013-1 class A 'BBBsf'; Outlook Stable;

-- $39,600,000 2013-1 class B 'BB-sf'; Outlook Stable.

Fitch issued a presale report on the transaction on Aug. 21, 2013.

The following class is being issued but is not rated by Fitch:

-- $14,000,000 2013-1 class C.

The ratings are based on information provided by the co-issuers as
of Aug. 26, 2013.

The $177.5 million InSite Wireless Group, LLC notes are backed by
mortgages representing approximately 72.7% of the annualized run
rate (ARR) net cash flow (NCF) and guaranteed by the direct parent
of the borrowers. The guarantees are secured by a pledge and
first-priority-perfected security interest in 100% of the equity
interest of the borrowers (which own or lease 512 cellular sites
and own the rights to operate 16 distributed antennae system [DAS]
networks) and the direct parent, respectively.

At closing, loan proceeds will be used to repay certain
outstanding debt obligations and for general corporate purposes.
The ratings reflect a structured finance analysis of the cash
flows from the ownership interest in cellular sites, not an
assessment of the corporate default risk of the ultimate parent,
InSite Wireless Group, LLC.

Key Rating Drivers

High Leverage: Fitch's NCF on the pool is $16.06 million, implying
a Fitch stressed debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.11x. The
debt multiple relative to Fitch's NCF is 9.47x, which equates to a
debt yield of 10.56%. Given the high amount of total leverage,
Fitch applied a rating cap of 'BBBsf' to the securitization.

Leases to Strong Tower Tenants: There are 1,236 wireless tenant
leases. Telephony/broadband tenants represent 74.8% annualized run
rate revenue (ARRR), and 49% of the ARRR is from investment-grade
tenants. Tenant leases on the cellular sites have average annual
escalators of approximately 3.1% and an average final remaining
term (including renewals) of 21.1 years.

DAS Networks: The collateral pool contains 16 DAS networks
representing 11% of the ARRR. DAS sites are located within
buildings or other structures or venues for which an asset entity
has rights under a lease or license to install and operate a DAS
on the premises or to manage a DAS network on the premises. Fitch
did not give credit for the four sites where InSite has a
management contract to manage a DAS network owned by the DAS
venue. These sites contribute 0.6% of ARRR. Additionally, Fitch
limited proceeds from the DAS networks to the 'BBsf' category
(i.e. applied a 'BBsf' rating cap), based on the uncertainty
surrounding the licensing agreements in a venue-bankruptcy
scenario and the limited history of these networks.

Prefunding: On the closing date, approximately 14% of total
proceeds ($25.357 million) were deposited into a site acquisition
account to be used by InSite to acquire additional cellular sites
during the 12-month acquisition period. Prefunding introduces
uncertainty as to final collateral characteristics. Fitch
accounted for prefunding by stressing the NCF of the prefunding
component to reflect the most conservative prefunding pool
composition tests.

Rating Sensitivities

Fitch completed a break-even analysis comparing the interest-only
debt service with both the Fitch stressed NCF and in-place
aggregate ARR NCF, derived from data provided by the arranger,
including estimated interest rates. Fitch compared the in-place
aggregate ARR NCF and Fitch NCF with the interest-only debt
service amount and determined that 73.8% and 71.8% reductions in
NCF, respectively, would cause the 'BBBsf' notes to break even at
1.0x DSCR on an interest-only basis. Reductions to in-place
aggregate ARR NCF and Fitch NCF of 44% and 40%, respectively,
would cause the 'BB-sf' notes to break even at 1.0x DSCR on an
interest-only basis.

Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the 2013-1 class A ratings and
a 14% decline in NCF would result in a one category downgrade to
'BBsf', while a 10% decline would result in a downgrade to below
investment-grade and a 40% decline would result in a downgrade
below 'CCCsf'. Rating sensitivity was also performed for the
2013-1 class B notes and a 10% decline in NCF would result in a
one category downgrade to 'B-sf', while a 21% decline would result
in a downgrade below 'CCCsf'. The Rating Sensitivity section in
the presale report includes a detailed explanation of additional
stresses and sensitivities.


INTERFAITH MEDICAL: Brooklyn Hospital Won't Close For Now
---------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that the planned closure of
Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn has been postponed until at
least Sept. 11.  According to the AP, the facility was to start

Bill de Blasio has asked a federal bankruptcy court to halt the
closing.  On Monday, the court set the next hearing for Sept. 11.
According to the report, Mr. De Blasio says the postponement will
let the hospital try to restructure its failing finances and save
critical departments, such as emergency services and psychiatric
care.

INTERNATIONAL LEASE: Moody's Affirms 'Ba3' Corp. Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Ba3 corporate family rating
of International Lease Finance Corporation and revised its rating
outlook to stable from positive.

Ratings Rationale:

The change in rating outlook reflects Moody's view that American
International Group's (Baa1 stable) sale of ILFC to Jumbo
Acquisition Limited is less likely to occur as originally
proposed, based on a series of transaction delays, changes in the
makeup of the buyer consortium, and AIG's parallel pursuit of an
IPO of ILFC's shares as a potential alternative to the sale. These
developments increase uncertainty regarding ILFC's longer-term
strategic priorities, access to capital, and stability of
ownership.

"We previously said that the sale, as originally proposed, would
benefit ILFC by providing clarity regarding its ownership and
strategy, and potentially expanding its access to clients and
funding sources in growing Asian markets," said Moody's Vice
President Mark Wasden. "However, it is less certain that the sale
will close and if it does, what the implications would be for
ILFC's long-term credit profile."

AIG agreed in December 2012 to sell up to a 90% stake in ILFC to
Jumbo, a consortium of investors based mainly in China, for $4.7
billion. In response to Jumbo's missing payment deadlines, AIG
agreed to extend the sale agreement but modified terms allowing it
to prepare for a potential initial public offering of ILFC shares.
Statements by certain consortium investors indicate that the
composition of the consortium has itself changed, calling into
question the strategic alignment between ILFC and remaining
investors.

ILFC's ratings and outlook reflect Moody's expectation that a
period of time will be required to observe and fully evaluate the
credit considerations associated with ILFC's eventual change in
ownership. Key considerations include the financial effects on
ILFC's capital position and earnings, as well as new owners'
longer-term strategic and financial objectives and their influence
on ILFC's growth rate, portfolio concentrations, financial
leverage, and access to capital.

ILFC's ratings reflect its leading global franchise positioning,
aircraft and customer diversification, and resilient operating
cash flow. Also supporting its ratings, ILFC has in recent years
extended its debt maturity profile, strengthened liquidity
management, and reduced leverage. Ratings are constrained by
challenges relating to sustaining lease margin improvements and
generating attractive returns on equity. Additionally, ILFC's
business is exposed to the effects of economic cyclicality on air
travel volumes, aircraft demand and lease rates, and airline
credit quality. Additional credit challenges include the monoline
and cyclical nature of ILFC's business, its exposure to aircraft
residual values, and its reliance on confidence-sensitive
wholesale funding.

Moody's could upgrade ILFC's ratings if the company sustainably
improves profitability while maintaining solid liquidity and
leverage positions; if operating conditions improve, particularly
in Europe; and if new ownership is conducive to good governance
and operational independence, as well as discipline regarding
growth, concentration risks, leverage, and liquidity. Moody's
could downgrade ratings if ILFC's margins and cash flow shrink
unexpectedly or if its liquidity profile weakens, or if the
company embarks on a strategy of high growth accompanied by higher
than expected leverage.

First acquired by AIG in 1990, ILFC is one of the world's largest
commercial aircraft leasing concerns, with approximately 1,000
owned or managed Boeing and Airbus aircraft at June 30, 2013 and
commitments to purchase 281 additional aircraft for delivery
through 2020.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Finance Company
Global Rating Methodology published in March 2012.

J.C. PENNEY: Inks Registration Agreement with Pershing, et al.
--------------------------------------------------------------

                          About J.C. Penney

Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney Company, Inc. is one of the U.S.'s
largest department store operators with about 1,100 locations in
the United States and Puerto Rico.

J.C. Penney disclosed a net loss of $985 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $152 million in 2011.  As of May 4,
2013, the Company had $10.37 billion in total assets,
$7.50 billion in total liabilities and $2.86 billion in total
stockholders' equity.

                            *     *     *

The Company carries Moody's Investors Service's B3 Corporate
Family Rating with negative outlook.

Early in March 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered
its corporate credit rating on Penney to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The
outlook is negative.  At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-
level rating on the company's unsecured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B-'
and maintained its '3' recovery rating on this debt, indicating
S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for
debtholders in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade reflects the performance erosion that has
accelerated throughout the previous year and seems likely to
persist over the next 12 months," explained Standard & Poor's
credit analyst David Kuntz.

At the same time, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company's Issuer
Default Ratings to 'B-' from 'B'.  The Rating Outlook is Negative.
The rating downgrades reflect Fitch's concerns that there is a
lack of visibility in terms of the Company's ability to stabilize
its business in 2013 and beyond after a precipitous decline in
revenues leading to negative EBITDA of $270 million in 2012.
Penney, Fitch said, will need to tap into additional funding to
cover a projected FCF shortfall of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion in
2013, which could begin to strain its existing sources of
liquidity.

In February 2013, Penney received a notice of default from a law
firm representing more than 50% of its 7.4% Debentures due 2037.
The Company has filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court seeking
to block efforts by the bondholder group to declare a default on
the 2037 bonds.  Penney also asked lawyers at Brown Rudnick LLP to
identify the investors they represent.

In March 2013, Penney received a letter from bondholders
withdrawing and rescinding the Notice of Default.

On April 12, 2013, Penney borrowed $850 million out of its $1.85
billion committed revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as LC Agent. Penney said the move was to
enhance the Company's financial flexibility and position.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL: Says Creditors Need to Revise Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Martin Z. Braun, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that
Jefferson County, Alabama, said it may offer sewer-system
creditors new bonds at "much lower" principal amounts if they fail
to revise a bankruptcy exit plan that's threatened by rising
interest rates.

According to the report, without concessions, creditors --
including JPMorgan Chase & Co, hedge funds and bond insurers --
won't get cash for the $3 billion in debt they hold, Ken Klee, the
county's bankruptcy attorney, said in an interview in New York.
Instead, they would have to accept a debt exchange and have
bankruptcy expenses paid out of sewer revenue, reducing the amount
available for repayment, he said.

"The county has gone as far as we can go," Klee said, the report
related.  "Either there will be concessions or we'll have to go to
a different kind of plan."

On June 5, Jefferson County reached an agreement to pay its
largest creditors $1.84 billion, or 60 percent of what they're
owed, the report added.  Since then, interest rates on top-rated
30-year municipal bonds have jumped by 1.3 percentage points to
4.67 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. At current
rates, the county could refinance only $1.5 billion to $1.6
billion of sewer debt, Klee said.

The deal called for the county to raise sewer rates 7.4 percent
annually for four years and then 3.49 percent a year thereafter,
the report said.  That plan provided a cushion for an interest-
rate increase of 0.5 percentage point.

                     About Jefferson County

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In June 2013, the county reached settlement with holders of 78
percent of the $3.1 billion in sewer debt at the core of the
county's financial problems.  The bondholders will be paid $1.84
billion through a refinancing, according to a term sheet.  The
settlement calls for JPMorgan Chase & Co., the owner of $1.22
billion in bonds, to make the largest concessions so other
bondholder will recover more.

On June 30, 2013, Jefferson County filed a Chapter 9 plan of debt
adjustment.  Pursuant to the Plan, sewer bondholders will receive
65 percent in cash. If they elect to waive claims against JPMorgan
and bond insurers, they receive 80 percent in cash.  Bondholders
supporting the plan already agreed to waive claims and receive the
larger recovery.  Existing sewer bonds will be canceled in
exchange for payments under the plan.  The county will fund plan
distributions by selling new sewer bonds calculated to generate
$1.96 billion to cover the $1.84 billion earmarked for existing
sewer bondholders.  JPMorgan has agreed to waive $842 million of
the sewer debt and a $657 million swap debt, resulting in an 88
percent overall write off by JPMorgan.  To finance the new sewer
bonds, there will be 7.4 percent in rate increases for sewer
customers in each of the first four years.  In later years, rate
increases will be 3.5 percent.


K-V PHARMACEUTICAL: Committee Plan Support Statement Filed
----------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that K-V Pharmaceutical's official
committee of unsecured creditors filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court a statement reflecting its support of the Debtors' Sixth
Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.

The committee states, "The Debtors filed their first plan of
reorganization in January 2013 (the 'Original Plan'), which
offered de minimis recoveries to unsecured creditors. Following
the filing of the Original Plan, the Committee and its
professionals undertook an effort to solicit superior plan
restructuring proposals and to afford interested parties with
additional time necessary to put together commitments to finance
an alternative plan. The Committee's efforts proved fruitful.
Following the successful litigation of the Makena lien action and
the adjournment of the DIP milestones, the Committee successfully
put together alternative DIP financing and formulated a fully
financed alternative plan (the, 'Investor Plan') sponsored by
certain holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes (the
'Investors') that would generate higher recoveries to all
creditors. Recognizing the superior nature of the Investor Plan,
the Debtors determined to abandon the Original Plan in favor of
the Investor Plan. Thereafter, the Debtors received competing
proposals from each of the Investors and certain holders of the
Senior Secured Notes. As a result, the Debtors conducted an
informal plan auction process, during which the Debtors continued
to receive additional proposals from the Investors and certain
holders of the Senior Secured Notes. Thereafter, each of the major
parties in interest in these cases, including the Debtors, the
Committee, holders of approximately 97% of the principal amount of
the Convertible Subordinated Notes, the DIP Agent and DIP Lenders
and holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the Senior
Secured Notes, reached a global settlement, the terms of which
have been incorporated into the Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan, the
Investors agreed to purchase $37 million in new equity, and
further agreed to backstop a $238 million equity rights offering
and provide up to $100 million in exit financing to fund both the
Plan and post-effective date working capital needs.  As a result
of this substantial new money capital infusion, pursuant to the
Plan, (a) holders of the Senior Secured Notes will be paid in full
in cash, (b) holders of Convertible Subordinated Notes will
receive 7% of the reorganized equity together with subscription
rights to participate in the $238 million rights offering, and (c)
holders of General Unsecured Claims will be entitled to receive
their pro rata share of $10,250,000 in cash, for an estimated
recovery of approximately 56.2% to 73.6%.  These recoveries are
dramatically superior to those contained in the Original Plan.
Thus, the Plan reflects the tremendous progress made in these
cases."

LEVEL 3: Borrows $595.5MM to Repay Tranche B 2016 Term Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Level 3 Financing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3
Communications, Inc., entered into a seventh amendment agreement
to its Existing Credit Agreement to incur $595,500,000 in
aggregate borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement through
an additional $595,500,000 Tranche B 2020.  The net proceeds of
the New Tranche were used to pre-pay the Company's $595,500,000
Tranche B 2016 Term Loan under the Existing Credit Agreement.  As
a result of the incurrence of the New Tranche and the pre-payment
of the Tranche B 2016 Term Loan, the total aggregate principal
amount of the loans under the Restated Credit Agreement remains
$2,610,500,000.  The New Tranche matures on Jan. 15, 2020.

The New Tranche has an interest rate, in the case of any ABR
Borrowing (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement), equal to
(a) the greater of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Restated
Credit Agreement) in effect on that day, (ii) the Federal Funds
Effective Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) in
effect on that day plus 1/2 of 1 percent and (iii) the sum of (A)
the higher of (x) the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit
Agreement) for a one month interest period on such day and (y) 1.0
percent, plus (B) 1.0 percent, plus (b) 2.0 percent per annum.  In
the case of any Eurodollar Borrowing (as defined in the Restated
Credit Agreement), the New Tranche bears interest at the LIBO Rate
for the interest period for such borrowing plus 3.0 percent per
annum.

The Company, as guarantor, Level 3 Financing, as borrower, Merrill
Lynch Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent, and certain other agents and certain lenders are party to
that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2007, as
amended and restated by that certain Sixth Amendment Agreement,
dated as of Aug. 12, 2013.  The Existing Credit Agreement as
further amended and restated by the Seventh Amendment Agreement is
referred to as the "Restated Credit Agreement."

Level 3 Financing's obligations under the New Tranche are, subject
to certain exceptions, secured by certain of the assets of (i) the
Company and (ii) certain of the Company's material domestic
subsidiaries which are engaged in the telecommunications business
and which were able to grant a lien on their assets without
regulatory approval.  The Company and certain of its subsidiaries
have also guaranteed the obligations of Level 3 Financing under
the New Tranche.  Upon obtaining regulatory approvals, Level 3
Communications, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, and its material domestic subsidiaries will guarantee
and, subject to certain exceptions, pledge certain of their assets
to secure, the obligations under the New Tranche.

No changes have been made to any restrictive covenants or events
of default contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, but certain
changes were pre-agreed by the lenders of the New Tranche relating
to the refinancing provisions.

In addition to the Seventh Amendment Agreement, in connection with
the incurrence of the New Tranche and the lending of the proceeds
thereof by Level 3 Financing to Level 3 LLC, Level 3 Financing and
Level 3 LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Proceeds
Note with an initial principal amount of $3,206,000,000.  In
connection with the pre-payment of the Tranche B 2016 Term Loan
and the corresponding partial pre-payment by Level 3 LLC of the
loan proceeds note, Level 3 Financing and Level 3 LLC entered into
a subsequent Amended and Restated Loan Proceeds Note with an
initial principal amount of $2,610,500,000.

Services raised its corporate credit rating on Broomfield, Colo.-

leverage, initially from the acquisition of the lower-leveraged

million of annual operating synergies," said Standard & Poor's

MIDTOWN SCOUTS: Seeks Extension of Filing Period Until Oct. 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Midtown Scouts Square Property, LP, and Midtown Scouts Square,
LLC, ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas for expedited consideration and/or expedited hearing and
order extending the Debtors' exclusive periods to file and obtain
acceptances of a plan until Oct. 31, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2013,
respectively.

According to papers filed with the Court, on June 24, 2013, the
Debtors filed their Motion to Estimate the Claim of Richey Family
Limited Partnership, L.E. Richey, Todd Richey, and Bank of Houston
(for indemnity only) which is currently pending before the Court
(the "Estimation Motion").  "Claims alleged by the Richeys in the
litigation (although highly disputed) are potentially substantial
and allowance of the same could significantly impact any plan
filed by the Debtors, including whether the Richeys have an equity
interest in the Debtors," the Debtors said.

"Thus, the Estimation Motion must be resolved before the Debtors
can confirm a plan.  A Pretrial conference on the Estimation
Motion is currently set for Sept. 19, 2013, at which time the
court will set the matter for trial.  Accordingly, Debtors will
not be able to file a meaningful Chapter 11 Plan prior to the
expiration of the current exclusivity period."

This is the Debtors' first request for an extension of the
Exclusivity Period.

MMRGLOBAL INC: Reports 51% Increase in 2nd Quarter Revenues
-----------------------------------------------------------
MMRGlobal, Inc., has filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. Revenues for the quarter increased by
51.2 percent over the same period in 2012, not including deferred
revenue.  Under the Company's revenue recognition policy, a
portion of MMRPro sales are recognized over the life of the MMRPro
sales and licensing agreement therefore that portion of the
revenue is deferred.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2013, were also up 13.7 percent, as compared to the same period in
2012.  It is worth noting that in the first six months of 2012,
revenue included licensing fees from the Company's $13 million
biotech licensing agreement.  When comparing the same six-month
period, based only on revenues from the Company's core Health
Information Technology business in 2013, the revenue increase is
55 percent.  Overall net loss decreased 16 percent in the second
quarter as compared to the same period last year and 10 percent in
the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 2012.

The Company also reported a 66 percent increase in subscriber
revenues from consumers and association and employer-based
affinity programs, a 131 percent increase in MMRPro revenues, and
a 300 percent increase in gross profit when compared to the second
quarter of 2012.

According to MMRGlobal CEO Robert H. Lorsch, "Although early in
the game, we are beginning to see revenue from license agreements
pertaining to the Company's HIT patents and other intellectual
property.  While the Company's primary business continues to be
selling our MyMedicalRecords and MMRPro products and services, the
market is becoming receptive to utilizing or licensing our
patented products and services and other intellectual property
without the necessity of litigation.  Also, we are gratified to
note that despite the Company's patent litigation with Walgreens
and others, all but one of the defendants at this time are
actively working to resolve these matters through openly exploring
strategic solutions or licensing opportunities with the Company."

As an example of the progress the Company is making through this
litigation solution approach, the following statement was included
in WebMD's most recent 10-Q: "Pursuant to an agreement between the
parties, MyMedicalRecords dismissed the complaint without
prejudice in order to enable the parties to try to resolve the
matter without the timing constraints of the litigation. Because
the dismissal is without prejudice, MyMedicalRecords retains the
right to re-file the case."

In addition, several of the top ten EMR providers are engaged in
active discussions with the Company regardless of the fact that
MMR has not filed suit against them at this time.  As a result,
the Company is optimistic that significant agreements to utilize
or license the Company's IP could be reached without the need for
litigation with one or more of these parties.

The Company now owns eight U.S. patents that include hundreds of
claims focused on the digital transmission of medical records,
including Personal Health Records.  The most recent U.S. patent,
covering prescriptions, was received on June 30, 2013.  The
Company also has additional U.S. patent applications pending which
include numerous continuation applications.  Internationally, the
Company has received issued patents and has pending applications
in countries of commercial interest such as Australia, Singapore,
New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea,
Israel, and European nations.  The Company believes hospitals,
healthcare professionals and certain vendors responding to the
current needs of the market will need licenses from the Company,
or they could infringe upon MMR's portfolio of intellectual
property.

Based on publicly available information and the terms of the
written agreement, the Company projects receipt of the additional
milestone payments under its $13,000,000 biotech license agreement
originally filed in a Form 8-K with the SEC on Dec. 21, 2010, as
they become due.

qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012, citing recurring operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations and dependence on additional

the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"[A]ll of our assets are currently subject to a first priority
lien in favor of the holders of our outstanding convertible notes
payable in the current aggregate principal amount of $4,521,378.
The notes are due on October 15, 2013, if we are unable to repay
or refinance our obligations under those notes by October 15,
2013, the holders of the notes will have the right to foreclose on
their security interests and seize our assets.  To avoid such an
event, we may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection, however a
bankruptcy filing would, in all likelihood, materially adversely
affect our ability to continue our current level of operations.
In the event we are not able to refinance or repay the notes, but
negotiate for a further extension of the maturity date of the
notes, we may be required to pay significant extension fees in
cash or shares of our equity securities or otherwise make other
forms of concessions that may adversely impact the interests of
our common stockholders," the Company has warned in its annual
report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.


MONTREAL MAINE: Ch.11 Trustee Hires Bernstein Shur as Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
Robert J. Keach, the chapter 11 trustee in the bankruptcy case of
Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for permission to employ Bernstein, Shur, Sawyer & Nelson,
P.A. as counsel.

Mr. Keach -- rkeach@bernsteinshur.com -- is co-chair of Bernstein
Shur's Business Restructuring and Insolvency Practice Group, and
is a shareholder of the firm.

As counsel, Bernstein Shur will, among other things, provide these
services:

   (a) advising the Chapter 11 Trustee with respect to his powers
       and duties in the Chapter 11 Trustee's continued management
       and operation of the Debtor's business and property;

   (b) representing the Trustee at all hearings and matters
       pertaining to the Trustee's affairs as Trustee; and

   (c) attending meetings and negotiating with representatives of
       the Debtor's creditors and other parties-in-interest, as
       well as responding to creditor inquiries.

To the best of the Chapter 11 Trustee's knowledge, Bernstein Shur
is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

             About Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway

Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd., the railway company that
operated the train that derailed and exploded in July 2013,
killing 47 people and destroying part of Lac-Megantic, Quebec,
sought bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Bangor,
Maine (Case No. 13-10670) on Aug. 7, 2013, with the aim of selling
its business.  Its Canadian counterpart, Montreal, Maine &
Atlantic Canada Co., meanwhile, filed for protection from
creditors in Superior Court of Quebec in Montreal.

Robert J. Keach, Esq., at Bernstein Shur, has been named as
Chapter 11 trustee.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Louis H. Kornreich has been assigned to the
U.S. case.  The Maine law firm of Verrill Dana serves as counsel
to MM&A.

Justice Martin Castonguay oversees the case in Canada.


MONTREAL MAINE: US Trustee Balks at Section 506(c) Waiver
---------------------------------------------------------
The United States Trustee filed a limited objection to Montreal,
Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd.'s request for authority to use cash
collateral on interim basis; and for a hearing to consider the use
of cash collateral on a final basis.

Contemporaneously with commencement of the case, the Debtor filed
the Cash Collateral Motion, along with certain other "First Day
Motions" and a Motion for Emergency Hearing on the Cash Collateral
Motion and the other First Days Motions.

On Aug. 8, 2013, the Court conducted a hearing on the Motion for
Emergency Hearing, and granted the same.

Consequently, the Court conducted an emergency hearing on the Cash
Collateral Motion.

In the proposed order relating to the Cash Collateral Motion, the
Debtor proposed granting a waiver of the protections of section
506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as a means of further
protecting the interests of its secured lender, Wheeling & Lake
Erie Railway Company.

At the Emergency Hearing, the Court expressed concern about the
request for a section 506(c) waiver, a concern which was
reiterated by the U.S. Trustee.  In light of these expressed
concerns, Wheeling notified the Court at the Emergency Hearing
that it would not be seeking such a waiver for purposes of the
emergency relief being requested by the Debtor with respect to the
use of Wheeling's cash collateral, but Wheeling reserved its right
to do so at a later time.

The U.S. Trustee's limited objection was lodged prior to its
appointment of a Chapter 11.  Robert J. Keach, Esq., at Bernstein
Shur, was consequently named as Chapter 11 trustee.

According to the U.S. Trustee, the Debtor's estate is or may
become administratively insolvent.  To the extent that the Debtor
and Wheeling seek a 506(c) waiver in connection with continued use
of Cash Collateral, the U.S. Trustee is objecting to that request.

Simply put, requesting a section 506(c) waiver at this point in
this case is premature, according to the U.S. Trustee.  Indeed,
because it is certain that a trustee will be appointed, the Debtor
and Wheeling should not be permitted to negotiate that trustee's
ability to analyze this important issue.  If the Court were to
grant a 506(c) waiver, it may alter the way in which the limited
proceeds in this case would otherwise be distributed.

The U.S. Trustee asks the Court to permit the case to run its
course, deny any request for a 506(c) waiver at this juncture, and
continue to do so until, minimally, a trustee is appointed who can
evaluate the facts of this case and weigh in on the issue of the
appropriateness of such a waiver in connection with any further
interim order or final order concerning the use of cash
collateral.

MOUNTAIN COUNTRY: Hearing to Approve Financing on Sept. 18
----------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court entered an order continuing the hearing on
Robert L. Johns's request to obtain post-petition financing and
motion to sell Roane County oil wells to Sept. 18, 2013, at 2:30
p.m.

The Chapter 11 Trustee requested the continuance of hearing
because it received a competing proposal from Cunningham Energy,
LLC, and needs more time to obtain and evaluate the resources of
the potential bidders, and if appropriate, to schedule and conduct
a private auction between bidders.

                           DIP Financing

The Chapter 11 Trustee seeks Bankruptcy Court permission to obtain
post-petition financing from Mountaineer State Energy, LLC, for
costs of repairing and placing 32 Roane County non-productive oil
and gas wells back into production.

The terms and conditions of the financing of the Reworks and the
transfer of a 25 percent profit interest in repaired Wells include
the following elements:

   (a) MSE will provide labor materials for the Reworks, but not
       to exceed $8,000 per Well without the Chapter 11 Trustee's
       approval;

   (b) the total repair costs will be a non-recourse loan from MSE
       to the bankruptcy estate, bearing interest at the rate of
       10 percent per annum, and secured by a first lien Deed of
       Trust on the Wells;

   (c) payments on the loan will come solely from 50 percent of
       the net proceeds from production of the Wells  and the
       proceeds of any sale of the Wells by the Chapter 11
       Trustee;

   (d) as additional consideration for MSE's agreement to make the
       Loan and supervise the repair work, the Chapter 11 Trustee
       will transfer a 25 percent profit interest in production
       from, and sale  of, the Wells actually returned to
       production.

The Chapter 11 Trustee further asks the Court to allow all his
reasonable and necessary expenses, with all other reasonable and
necessary expenses to be paid from the estate's share of net
proceeds.

MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE: Has $1.5MM Loan From Methodist Church
-----------------------------------------------------------
Maria Saporta, writing for Saporta Report, reports that Morris
Brown College said in court papers submitted last week it will be
seeking to stay open for the foreseeable future thanks to a new
$1.5 million loan that the African Methodist Episcopal Church is
willing to provide.  Morris Brown has been operating with a
skeletal staff and faculty teaching about three dozen students.
Morris Brown will use the loan on administrative costs as well on
various interest payments on the college's debt.

Saporta Report says Morris Brown just a couple of months ago
indicated it had a $20 million offer from a company -- FD LLC --
to purchase the college's property, help settle its debts, and
cover a portion of its annual operating costs.  The proposal was
thought to be for a development that would include a Family Dollar
store, even though representatives said that the discount retailer
might not be part of the project.  Still, when Morris Brown
appeared before Bankruptcy Judge Barbara Ellis-Monro in July,
representatives acknowledged that the FD LLC had run into some
obstacles and that they were working on a different financial
plan.

The report also notes that prior to the FD LLC proposal, the City
of Atlanta had made an offer to Morris Brown to buy its property
and help settle its outstanding debts in a deal of nearly $10
million.  Morris Brown turned down the city's offer.

$13 million mortgage.

Morris Brown was denied accreditation from the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in
December 2002.  Without its accreditation, Morris Brown College
didn't qualify for federal funding.

The Debtor estimated assets and liabilities of $10 million to
$50 million as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Morris Brown filed applications to employ Dilworth Paxson LLP as
lead counsel; The Moore Law Group, LLC, as local counsel; and BDO
USA, LLP as auditors.

NATIVE WHOLESALE: Bankr. Ct. Vacates Conditional Dismissal Ruling
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Carl L. Bucki vacated an oral ruling a New York
bankruptcy court made on Sept. 26, 2012 conditionally allowing
Native Wholesale Supply Company to dismiss its bankruptcy
proceedings -- without prejudice to the Debtor's right to bring a
renewed motion for dismissal on appropriate notice.

The Motion to Vacate was brought by the states of California,
Idaho, New Mexico, New York, and Oklahoma -- asserting that it
would be inappropriate to dismiss the case at this stage of the
proceedings because if it does not remain in Chapter 11, only
conversion is in the best interest of the creditors and the
estate.

As previously reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the
Bankrutpcy Court issued the oral ruling on Sept. 27, 2012 which
essentially allows the Debtor to dismiss its Chapter 11 proceeding
on the satisfaction of certain conditions -- mainly the
securitization of the State of California's potential
administrative claim.  Counsel to the States, Hodgson Russ LLP
said that despite that oral ruling, the Debtor still has not
completed the necessary steps to effectuate a case dismissal.

            About Native Wholesale Supply Company

Native Wholesale Supply Company is engaged in the business of
importing cigarettes and other tobacco products from Canada and
selling them to third parties within the United States.  It
purchases the products from Grand River Enterprises Six Nations,
Ltd., a Canadian corporation and the Debtor's only secured
creditor.  Native is an entity organized under the Sac and Fox
Nation and has its principal place of business at 10955 Logan Road
in Perrysburg, New York.

Native filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D.N.Y. Case No.
11-14009) on Nov. 21, 2011.  The Chapter 11 filing was triggered
to resolve an ongoing dispute with the United States government
regarding up to $43 million in assessments made by the government
against the Debtor pursuant to the Fair and Equitable Tobacco
Reform Act of 2004 and the Tobacco Transition Payment Program and
to restructure the terms of payment of any obligation determined
to be owing by the Debtor to the U.S. under the Disputed
Assessment.  The issues pertaining to the Disputed Assessment
resulted in two lawsuits, subsequently consolidated, now pending
in the Federal District Court.

Robert J. Feldman, Esq., and Janet G. Burhyte, Esq., at Gross,
Shuman, Brizdle & Gilfillan, P.C., in Buffalo, N.Y., represent the
Debtor as counsel.

The Company disclosed $30,022,315 in assets and $70,590,564 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

appeared in the case and are represented by Garry M. Graber, Esq.,
and Craig T. Lutterbein, Esq., at Hodgson Russ LLP, in Buffalo,

the case.


NATIVE WHOLESALE: 5 States Seek Conversion or Dismissal
-------------------------------------------------------
The States of California, Idaho, New Mexico, New York, and
Oklahoma ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
New York to:

   1. grant their motion to convert or dismiss the Chapter 11
      case of Native Wholesale Supply Company;

   2. grant the U.S. Trustee's motion to the extent that it seeks
      to convert the Debtor's bankruptcy case; or

   3. in the alternative to conversion, require the Debtor to
      continue through the Chapter 11 plan process in an expedient
      manner and reset the dates for preparation of a plan and
      disclosure statement if the Debtor believes it can repay
      all of its creditors, and not just a single favored entity.

On Aug. 16, 2013, the Debtor requested that the Court deny the
U.S. Trustee's motion and adjourn the States' motion to a date
after Sept. 13, 2013.

As reported on The Troubled Company Reporter, Tracy Hope Davis,
the U.S. Trustee for Region 2, the U.S. Trustee for Region 2,
argued that the Debtor (1) has an inability to perform the
statutory duties of a debtor-in-possession and to comply with the
requirements of the Chapter 11 Operating Guidelines; and (2) has
failed to file monthly financial reports for February and March
2013.

The Aug. 6 edition of the TCR also reported that the states of
California, Idaho, New Mexico, New York and Oklahoma filed a
statement in partial support of the U.S. Trustee's motion.  The
States assert that it would be inappropriate to dismiss the case
at this stage of the proceedings; rather, if the case does not
remain in Chapter 11, only conversion is in the best interest of
creditors and the estate.

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL: No Longer Holds Shares of Core Molding
--------------------------------------------------------------
Navistar Inc. and Navistar International Corporation disclosed in
a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that as of Aug. 16, 2013, they do not beneficially own
shares of common stock of Core Molding Technologies, Inc.

In a series of open market sales that took place on Aug. 16, 2013,
the Reporting Persons sold 664,000 shares of common stock,
representing all of the common stock held by them, for $8.50 per
share, or $5,590,880 in the aggregate, excluding sales commissions
and other costs.

A copy of the regulatory filing is available for free at:

                   About Navistar International

Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) --
http://www.Navistar.com/-- is a holding company whose
subsidiaries and affiliates subsidiaries produce International(R)
brand commercial and military trucks, MaxxForce(R) brand diesel
engines, IC Bus(TM) brand school and commercial buses, Monaco RV
brands of recreational vehicles, and Workhorse(R) brand chassis
for motor homes and step vans.  It also is a private-label
designer and manufacturer of diesel engines for the pickup truck,
van and SUV markets.  The Company also provides truck and diesel
engine parts and service.  Another affiliate offers financing
services.

Navistar incurred a net loss attributable to the Company of $3.01
billion for the year ended Oct. 31, 2012, compared with net income
attributable to the Company of $1.72 billion during the prior
year.  As of April 30, 2013, the Company had $8.72 billion in
total assets, $12.36 billion in total liabilities and a $3.64
billion total stockholders' deficit.

                          *     *     *

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

As reported by the TCR on June 19, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on
Illinois-based truckmaker Navistar International Corp. (NAV) to
'B-' from 'B'.  The rating downgrades reflect S&P's negative
reassessment of NAV's business risk profile to "vulnerable" from
"weak".

As reported by the TCR on Jan. 24, 2013, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) for Navistar
International Corporation and Navistar Financial Corporation at
'CCC' and removed the Negative Outlook on the ratings.  The
removal reflects Fitch's view that immediate concerns about
liquidity have lessened, although liquidity remains an important
rating consideration as NAV implements its selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) engine strategy. Other rating concerns are already
incorporated in the 'CCC' rating.


NORSE ENERGY: Gets Lackluster Bids for Drilling Rights
------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that bids for drilling rights in central New York

oil and gas producer said, leaving its bankrupt U.S. subsidiary to
mull how best to pay back a $3.8 million loan.

The report related that Norse Energy Corp. USA wanted to sell off
enough of its 1,400 land-based assets to pay off a $3.8 million
post-petition loan from Norwegian firm Start Up 271 AS and other
claims in its bankruptcy proceeding, according to court documents.

NORTEL NETWORKS: International Court Clash Over $7.5B Cash Delayed
------------------------------------------------------------------
Peg Brickley, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
the trial in the international fight over $7.5 billion raised in
the liquidation of Nortel Networks Inc. won't start until at least
the end of March 2014, court papers say.

                       About Nortel Networks

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Nortel Networks Corporation and
its various affiliated entities provided next-generation
technologies, for both service provider and enterprise networks,
support multimedia and business-critical applications.  Nortel did
business in more than 150 countries around the world.  Nortel
Networks Limited was the principal direct operating subsidiary of
Nortel Networks Corporation.

On Jan. 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Inc.'s ultimate corporate parent
Nortel Networks Corporation, NNI's direct corporate parent Nortel
Networks Limited and certain of their Canadian affiliates
commenced a proceeding with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) seeking
relief from their creditors.  Ernst & Young was appointed to serve
as monitor and foreign representative of the Canadian Nortel
Group.  That same day, the Monitor sought recognition of the CCAA
Proceedings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
09-10164) under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

That same day, NNI and certain of its affiliated U.S. entities
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-10138).

In addition, the High Court of England and Wales placed 19 of
NNI's European affiliates into administration under the control of
individuals from Ernst & Young LLP.  Other Nortel affiliates have
commenced and in the future may commence additional creditor
protection, insolvency and dissolution proceedings around the
world.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of administrators, the Commercial
Court of Versailles, France, ordered the commencement of secondary
proceedings in respect of Nortel Networks S.A.  On June 8, 2009,
Nortel Networks UK Limited filed petitions in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for recognition of the English Proceedings as foreign main
proceedings under Chapter 15.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross presides over the Chapter 11 and
15 cases.  Mary Caloway, Esq., and Peter James Duhig, Esq., at
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, in Wilmington, Delaware, serves as
Chapter 15 petitioner's counsel.

In the Chapter 11 case, James L. Bromley, Esq., at Cleary Gottlieb
Steen & Hamilton, LLP, in New York, serves as the U.S. Debtors'
general bankruptcy counsel; Derek C. Abbott, Esq., at Morris
Nichols Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in Wilmington, serves as Delaware
counsel.  The Chapter 11 Debtors' other professionals are Lazard
Freres & Co. LLC as financial advisors; and Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions LLC as claims and notice agent.

The United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors in respect of the U.S. Debtors.  An ad hoc
group of bondholders also was organized.

Fred S. Hodara, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in
New York, and Christopher M. Samis, Esq., at Richards, Layton &
Finger, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware, represent the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

An Official Committee of Retired Employees and the Official
Committee of Long-Term Disability Participants tapped Alvarez &
Marsal Healthcare Industry Group as financial advisor.  The
Retiree Committee is represented by McCarter & English LLP as
Delaware counsel, and Togut Segal & Segal serves as the Retiree
Committee.  The Committee retained Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare
Industry Group as financial advisor, and Kurtzman Carson
Consultants LLC as its communications agent.

Several entities, particularly, Nortel Government Solutions
Incorporated and Nortel Networks (CALA) Inc., have material
operations and are not part of the bankruptcy proceedings.

As of Sept. 30, 2008, Nortel Networks Corp. reported consolidated
assets of $11.6 billion and consolidated liabilities of $11.8
billion.  The Nortel Companies' U.S. businesses are primarily
conducted through Nortel Networks Inc., which is the parent of
majority of the U.S. Nortel Companies.  As of Sept. 30, 2008, NNI
had assets of about $9 billion and liabilities of $3.2 billion,
which do not include NNI's guarantee of some or all of the Nortel
Companies' about $4.2 billion of unsecured public debt.

Since the commencement of the various insolvency proceedings,
Nortel has sold its business units and other assets to various
purchasers.  Nortel has collected roughly $9 billion for
distribution to creditors.  Of the total, $4.5 billion came from
the sale of Nortel's patent portfolio to Rockstar Bidco, a
consortium consisting of Apple Inc., EMC Corporation,
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Microsoft Corp., Research In
Motion Limited, and Sony Corporation.  The consortium defeated a
$900 million stalking horse bid by Google Inc. at an auction.  The
deal closed in July 2011.

Nortel has filed a proposed plan of liquidation in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court.  The Plan generally provides for full payment on
secured claims with other distributions going in accordance with
the priorities in bankruptcy law.

Judge Gross and the court in Canada scheduled trials in 2014 on
how to divide proceeds among creditors in the U.S., Canada, and
Europe.


NORTHERN BEEF PACKERS: U.S. Trustee Seeks Chapter 7 Conversion
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that Assistant U.S. trustee James
Snyder is asking a Bankruptcy Judge to convert the Chapter 11 case
of Northern Beef Packers to a Chapter 7 liquidation, saying
Northern Beef Packers is "administratively insolvent" based on
company reports and statements.  According to Mr. Snyder, it
appears the company's beef processing plant in South Dakota
represents the only asset by which the Debtor may generate funds
to pay creditors.

The AP relates Northern Beef had been trying to obtain post-
petition financing so it could proceed with hiring an investment
banking firm to pursue a sale of the plant.  The report notes Mr.
Snyder said Northern Beef withdrew its financing plan and has not
filed a replacement motion.  The change from Chapter 11 protection
is necessary to protect the interests of creditors and the estate
and to prevent further delay and default, he said.

Northern Beef Packers Limited Partnership, which operates a beef
processing facility that opened in October 2012, filed for
Chapter 11 relief (Bankr. D.S.D. Case No. 13-10118) on July 19,
2013.  Karl Wagner signed the petition as chief financial officer.
Judge Charles L. Nail, Jr., presides over the case.  The Debtor
estimated assets of at least $50 million and debts of at least
$10 million.  James M. Cremer, Esq., at Bantz, Gosch, & Cremer,

OMTRON USA: Committee Wants Conversion Only After Closing of Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
case of Omtron USA, LLC, joined the Bankruptcy Administrator in
seeking conversion of the Debtor's case to one under Chapter 7 of
the Bankruptcy Code, or in the alternative, appoint a Chapter 11
trustee; and (ii) Benton Claimants' response in support of
Bankruptcy Administrator's motion to convert case.

The Committee supports conversion of the case, provided, however,
that the conversion does not take place until after the sales of
the Debtor's assets have closed.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 21, 2013,
U.S. Bankruptcy Administrator William P. Miller asked the Court to
convert the case to a case under Chapter 7 or appoint a Chapter 11
trustee, citing "substantial or continuing loss to or diminution
of the estate and the absence of a reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation."

Mr. Miller said the Debtor ceased operations prepetition and has
sold substantially all of its property, so that upon closing of
all approved sales, its assets consist of cash and causes of
action.  As the Debtor is not operating, it has consistently
reported and estimated a negative cash flow.  Furthermore, the
Debtor has incurred large administrative expenses, with
substantial fee requests unfiled but expected for the second
quarter of 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, these fees and expenses
totaled $902,936.76 and it was projected that these fees might
total $1,790,127.50.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: May Owe $460 Million or More to IRS
---------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Checkler, writing The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. on Aug. 26 said it may owe $460
million or more to the Internal Revenue Service , a finding that
is likely to upset its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.

According to the report, revised financial statements filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission said the shipping company's
analysis and conversations with the IRS have led it to believe
that the "actual amount of the tax" it will ultimately have to pay
"will be significant and could be as high as $460,000,000 or
potentially higher."

The company intends to assert its available defenses "vigorously,"
according to the SEC filing, the report related.  However, the
filing may be bad news for bank lenders owed $1.5 billion and
investors in the company's debt, who are counting on Overseas
Shipholding beating down a $463 million claim the IRS filed in its
Chapter 11 case.

Overseas Shipholding filed for bankruptcy protection last year,
not long after telling the market that some three years of its
financial reports were potentially untrustworthy. Recently, it
said in bankruptcy court filings that the trouble dated back to
2000, much longer than it had indicated last year.

The SEC filing said most of the problem was rooted in the
company's treatment of its foreign subsidiaries, which own vessels
that transport crude oil and petroleum products around the world.

PATRIOT COAL: AFGE National President & UMWA President Arrested
---------------------------------------------------------------
AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. was arrested on Aug. 27
in St. Louis, Mo. as he stood in solidarity with members of the
United Mine Workers of America in their fight to protect the
pensions and health care benefits of retirees of the Peabody
Energy Corp. and its Patriot Coal Corp. spin-off company.

"I am proud to stand with these brave workers who for years put
their lives on the line while Peabody padded its own bottom line,"
said Mr. Cox, who was arrested along with UMWA International
President Cecil Roberts.  "The workers earned, and were promised,
a fair pension and health care benefits.  Reneging on these
promises is nothing more than corporate theft, and although nobody
likes getting arrested, this situation calls out for civil
disobedience. Our brothers in the UMW earned their retirement
benefits, and I could not stand by while Peabody attempts to
deprive them of what belongs to them."

Peabody Energy launched Patriot Coal in 2007 as a spin-off
company.  Patriot Coal ultimately filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in 2012, claiming annual employee obligations as a source of
financial distress.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the
largest federal employee union, representing 670,000 workers in
the federal government and the government of the District of
Columbia.

                        About Patriot Coal

petitions in U.S. bankruptcy court in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Lead Case No. 12-12900) on July 9, 2012.  Patriot said it had
$3.57 billion of assets and $3.07 billion of debts, and has
arranged $802 million of financing to continue operations during
the reorganization.

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP serves as lead restructuring counsel.
Bryan Cave LLP serves as local counsel to the Debtors.  Blackstone
Advisory Partners LP is serving as financial advisor, and AP

PATRIOT COAL: Equity Out of the Money, Article Says
---------------------------------------------------
An article at Seeking Alpha -- http://is.gd/MINBHW-- says
shareholders of Patriot Coal Corporation have a zero percent
chance of retaining any equity ownership, if and when the company
emerges from Chapter 11 proceedings.

"All of the facts support an imminent scenario that will see
current common interests being wiped away, on or before October
31, 2013," the article says.

"Given the dire state of Patriot's operation . . . we see no
chance that a funding party will come to the rescue of common
shareholders. On the contrary, potential funders would likely
require that current equity interests be cancelled so that new
shares can be issued to them."

PEABODY ENERGY: S&P Cuts Corp. Credit Rating to 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its ratings,
including the corporate credit rating, on St. Louis, Mo.-based
Peabody Energy Corp to 'BB' from 'BB+'.  The outlook is stable.
The recovery rating is '3'.

The downgrade reflects S&P's view that coal market conditions will
remain difficult for Peabody over the next year or two.  The
company continues to face low domestic thermal coal prices as
utilities continue to work off still-high inventories.  Although
coal demand is beginning to rise, relatively low natural gas
prices continue to pressure coal demand and pricing.  The
company's international businesses are also facing challenges.
Global oversupply has caused seaborne thermal coal prices to drop,
and metallurgical (met) coal prices have fallen significantly in
the wake of lower demand in Europe, slowing economic activity in
China, and a lack of operating disruptions, particularly in
Australia, where floods in 2011 caused prices to temporarily
spike.

"The stable outlook reflects our view that the company's ability
to adjust its operations and spending to generate positive cash
flow even in down markets will support a credit profile consistent
with the 'BB' rating.  We expect Peabody's measures to be weak,
but to improve gradually during the next couple of years as we
expect that markets will slowly improve and Peabody will manage
its balance sheet to conserve its liquidity and improve its credit
measures," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Marie Shmaruk.

For the rating, S&P expects the company to have debt to EBITDA
between 5x and 6x and FFO to total debt of about 15% and to
generate free discretionary cash flow, which under S&P's current
assumptions, it should achieve in 2014.  In the longer term, S&P
expects the company to benefit from better pricing on its domestic
production as inventories are reduced and over time from improved
pricing on its Australian seaborne met and steam coal.

S&P could lower the rating if market conditions continue to
deteriorate and it expects them to remain weak for a prolonged
period, causing the company to cut production and realize lower
margins than it currently expects on the volumes it sells.
Specifically, S&P would consider a negative rating action if debt
to EBITDA stays more than 6x and FFO to debt less than 15%, and it
do not anticipate improvements.

S&P could raise the rating if coal markets improve and Peabody
achieves and sustains FFO to total debt above 20% and debt to
EBITDA less than 4.5x through a combination of debt reduction and
solid earnings.


PRA HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Raleigh, N.C.-based CRO PRA Holdings Inc.  The
outlook is stable.  S&P is withdrawing its existing 'B' corporate
credit rating on subsidiary PRA International, as the corporate
credit rating will now reside at the parent.

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's proposed $950 million
first-lien credit facility (consisting of a $125 million revolver
and $825 million term loan) its 'B' issue-level rating with a
recovery rating of '4', indicating S&P's expectation for average
(30%-50%) recovery in the event of payment default.  S&P also
assigned the company's proposed $375 million senior unsecured
notes its 'CCC+' issue-level rating and '6' recovery rating,
indicating its expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the
event of payment default.

"While leverage is meaningfully higher as a result of the
leveraged buyout and acquisition, we believe the business risk
profile is somewhat stronger pro forma the acquisition," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Shannan Murphy.  "In addition,
PRA has outperformed our operating expectations and the industry
as a whole over the past several quarters.  We believe that new
business wins will continue to support strong operating trends,
which is a key factor underlying our rating actions."

Standard & Poor's stable rating outlook reflects its expectation
that PRA will quickly integrate RPS' operations and achieve EBITDA
margins in the low- to mid-teens, which should allow the company
to generate very modest positive free cash flow.  While S&P
expects revenue growth and slight margin expansion to reduce
leverage over time, it expects leverage to remain above 5x for the
foreseeable future, which limits prospects for a higher rating.

                    About Quality Distribution

Quality Distribution, LLC, and its parent holding company, Quality
Distribution, Inc., are headquartered in Tampa, Florida.  The
company is a transporter of bulk liquid and dry bulk chemicals.
The company's 2010 revenues are approximately $686 million.
Apollo Management, L.P., owns roughly 30 percent of the common
stock of Quality Distribution, Inc.

Quality Distribution reported net income of $50.07 million for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with net income of $23.43
million in 2011.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $474.39 million in total
assets, $516.44 million in total liabilities and a $42.04 million
total shareholders' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

According to the Company's annual report for the period ended
Dec. 31, 2012, the Company had consolidated indebtedness and
capital lease obligations, including current maturities, of $418.8
million as of Dec. 31, 2012.  The Company must make regular
payments under the ABL Facility and its capital leases and semi-
annual interest payments under its 2018 Notes.

The Company's 2018 Notes issued in the quarter ended Dec. 31,
2010, carry high fixed rates of interest.  In addition, interest
on amounts borrowed under the Company's ABL Facility is variable
and will increase as market rates of interest increase.  The
Company does not presently hedge against the risk of rising
interest rates.  The Company's higher interest expense may reduce
its future profitability.  The Company's future higher interest
expense and future redemption obligations could have other
important consequences with respect to the Company's ability to
manage its business successfully, including the following:

   * it may make it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its
     obligations for its indebtedness, and any failure to comply
     with these obligations could result in an event of default;

   * it will reduce the availability of the Company's cash flow to
     fund working capital, capital expenditures and other business
     activities;

   * it increases the Company's vulnerability to adverse economic
     and industry conditions;

   * it limits the Company's flexibility in planning for, or
     reacting to, changes in the Company's business and the
     industry in which the Company operates;

   * it may make the Company more vulnerable to further downturns
     in its business or the economy; and

   * it limits the Company's ability to exploit business
     opportunities.

The ABL Facility matures August 2016.  However, the maturity date
of the ABL Facility may be accelerated if the Company defaults on
its obligations.

"If the maturity of the ABL Facility and/or such other debt is
accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the
ABL Facility and/or such other debt or be able to refinance the
ABL Facility and/or such other debt on acceptable terms, or at
all.  The failure to repay or refinance the ABL Facility and/or
such other debt at maturity would have a material adverse effect
on our business and financial condition, would cause substantial
liquidity problems and may result in the bankruptcy of us and/or
our subsidiaries.  Any actual or potential bankruptcy or liquidity
crisis may materially harm our relationships with our customers,
suppliers and independent affiliates."

                           *    *     *

As reported in the TCR on June 28, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded Quality Distribution, LLC's Corporate Family Rating to B2
from B3 and Probability of Default Rating to B2-PD from B3-PD.

The upgrade of Quality's CFR to B2 was largely driven by the
expectation that credit metrics will improve over the next twelve
to eighteen months, through a combination of EBITDA growth and
debt paydowns, to levels consistent with the B2 rating level.  The
company is in the process of integrating the bolt-on acquisitions
made in its Energy Logistics business sector since 2011.


QUANTUM FUEL: Signs Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital
-----------------------------------------------------------
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., entered into an
At The Market Offering Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets,
LLC (Sales Agent).  Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company

that the Company does not have sufficient existing sources of
liquidity to operate its business and service its debt obligations

with the Company's working capital deficit and recurring operating
losses, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to

RAHA LAKES: Confirmation Hearing Continued to Nov. 21
-----------------------------------------------------
The hearing for the confirmation of Raha Lakes Enterprises, LLC,
et al.'s First Amended Chapter 11 Plan has been continued to Nov.
21, 2013, at 11:00 a.m.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
held at a hearing last Aug. 22 that an evidentiary hearing is
required to address issues like proper interest rate, financial
projections and amount owing to the Debtor's secured creditor, San
Pedro Investments, LLC.  According, a final evidentiary hearing
will be held on Oct. 16, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.

Some of the remaining issues were brought by San Pedro in court
papers opposing confirmation of the Plan.  San Pedro asserted that
the Plan, among other things, does not provide adequate means for
its implementation; does not comply with the good faith
requirement; and does not comply with the best interest of
creditors test.  San Pedro stated that as of July 31, 2013, it is
owed $9,583,156 by the Debtors.

In response, the Debtors argued that San Pedro does not have
standing to object to plan confirmation because it has never
provided any evidence that it is in fact "assignee" of Wilshire
State Bank.

The First Amended Plan contemplates the reorganization of the
Debtors' business operations to enable it to make orderly
distributions to creditors within two years.  Plan payments will
be made from these sources and in the following order of priority
based on available capital:  (1) the operation of the Debtors'
real property at 900 South San Pedro Street, Los Angeles, in the
South-East corner of 9th Street and San Pedro Street, in the
Garment District in Downtown Los Angeles, (2) the refinance or
sale of the Property on or before the maturity of loan obligations
to secured creditor, San Pedro Investments LLC, (3) contributions
from the Debtors' principal owner, Kayhan Shakib, the exact amount
of which will be determined by necessity, and (4) about $383,071
of "new value" contributions from Shakib.  The "new value" capital
contribution will be in full satisfaction of San Pedro's non-
defualt claims for interest, fees and costs.

Denver, Colorado-based Rancher Energy Corp. (OTC BB: RNCHQ)
-- http://www.rancherenergy.com/-- is an independent energy
company that explores for and develops produces, and markets oil
and gas in North America.  Through March 2011, the Company
operated four oil fields in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming.

Effective March 1, 2011, the Company sold all of its oil and gas
properties, which has allowed it to eliminate the majority of its
debt and also provide financial resources during its continuing
reorganization.

The Company was formerly known as Metalex Resources, Inc., and
changed its name to Rancher Energy Corp. in 2006.  Rancher Energy
Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on Feb. 4, 2004.

Rancher Energy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D. Colo. Case No. 09-32943) on Oct. 28, 2009.  In its petition,
the Company estimated assets and debts of between $10 million and
$50 million each.

The Debtor is represented by lawyers at Onsager, Staelin &
Guyerson, LLC.

The Company sold substantially all of its assets effective
March 1, 2011, to Linc Energy Petroleum (Wyoming), Inc. in
exchange for cash of $20 million plus other potential future
consideration up to $825,000, and subject to other adjustments.
The deal was approved Feb. 24, 2011.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 25, 2011,
the Company delivered to the Bankruptcy Court a first amended
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, and first amended disclosure

Code.  Uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process, as well
as recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: His Work Done, Examiner Asks to be Discharged
------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Checkler, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that the author of Residential Capital LLC's mammoth examiner's
report is asking to be relieved from his duties.

According to the report, retired U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge
Arthur J. Gonzalez, whose 2,200-plus page independent report
concluded that ResCap parent Ally Financial Inc. didn't set its
subsidiary up for failure as some creditors charged, said in an
Aug. 23 filing that his work is done.

The lingering deadline for Mr. Gonzalez's report was considered a
major factor in Ally's June settlement with creditors, which calls
for the company to pay $2.1 billion to settle those creditors'
claims, the report related.  Judge Martin Glenn allowed Mr.
Gonzalez's report -- one of the largest in the history of
bankruptcy -- to be filed with the court confidentially at first
as the sides finalized details on their settlement.

The report cost ResCap's estate more than $80 million in fees paid
to professionals, and said despite not setting up ResCap for
failure, Ally could have been on the hook for as much as $3
billion in creditor claims, the report said.  A $750 million offer
to creditors made at the beginning of ResCap's bankruptcy case
would have been too low, Mr. Gonzalez said, a conclusion shared by
the creditors who fought for more.

In his filing, Mr. Gonzalez said that aside from being relieved,
he wants the work done by himself and his hired professionals to
be kept confidential and for them to be immune from future
investigations regarding the report, the report further related.
He also said that to avoid "wasteful collateral litigation," he
and his professionals shouldn't be considered liable for anything
related to ResCap's Chapter 11.

REVSTONE INDUSTRIES: Hearing Today on Adequacy of Plan Outline
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware will convene a hearing today, Aug. 28, 2013,
at 9 a.m., to consider the adequacy of information in the
Disclosure Statements explaining the competing bankruptcy-exit
plans proposed by Revstone Industries, LLC, et al., and the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

The Debtors have lodged an objection to the Committee Plan,
stating that the Committee Plan is unconfirmable because, among
other things

   1. it does not contain adequate information on several issues;

   2. it does not pay allowed administrative claims as and when
      required under the Bankruptcy Code; and

   3. is not in the best interests of the estate in other
      respects.

                        The Committee Plan

According to the Disclosure Statement explaining the Committee's
Plan of Reorganization, the Plan dated July 8, 2013, provides for
the resolution of claim against Old Revstone and membership
interest in Old Revstone.  The Plan also addresses interest held
by Old Revstone in Debtors Greenwood and US Tool.

The Committee Plan contemplates the generation of cash for
distribution to creditors sourced primarily from (i) residual
interests of the Debtor's non-debtor subsidiaries resulting from
the current and future going concern sales processes and (ii)
recoveries from causes of action.

Under the Committee Plan, Reorganized Revstone will be owned by
the general unsecured creditors and be directed by a Plan
Administrator appointed by the new board of managers consisting of
former Creditors' Committee members or their designees.

is available for free at:

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

Mark L. Desgrosseilliers, Esq. -- mdegrsseilliers@wcsr.com --
represents the Committee.

In a separate filing, the Committee asked the Court to deny
approval of the Disclosure Statement explaining the Revstone Plan
because, among other things:

   1. the Revstone Plan is unconfirmable because it contains
      overly broad releases;

   2. the Revstone Plan impermissibly exculpates certain third
      parties; and

   3. the Revstone Plan violates the absolute priority rule.

                         The Revstone Plan

According to the Disclosure Statement explaining the Revstone Plan
of Reorganization dated July 22, 2013, the Revstone Plan
effectuates a reorganization of the Debtor.  Under the Plan, the
Debtor will be revested with all of its assets, including
interests in various non-debtor subsidiaries, and such assets
either will be liquidated or retained for the benefit of creditors
under the supervision of the chief restructuring officer.  It is
expected that the Debtor's principal secured creditor, Wells Fargo
Capital Finance, LLC, which asserts a lien upon the Debtor's
membership interests in Revstone Transportation, LLC and certain
other assets of non-Debtor affiliates, will be paid in full on or
before the Effective Date from the proceeds of the disposition of
certain assets of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Revstone
Transportation, LLC.

Under the Plan, all holders of allowed administrative expenses and
allowed priority claims against the Debtor will be paid in full on
the Effective Date out of cash on hand.  Holders of allowed non-
priority general unsecured claims, including intercompany claims,
will receive their respective pro rata share of available net
proceeds of the Debtor's assets after the Effective Date.  All
membership interests in the Debtor, and any associated management
rights held by interest holders, will be suspended pending full
payment on account of all creditors' allowed claims.

The source of all distributions and payments under the Plan will
be the Distributable Assets and the proceeds thereof, including,
without limitation, the Debtor's Cash on hand and proceeds from
the sale or other disposition of the remaining property of the
Debtor and prosecution of Retained Rights of Action.

REVSTONE INDUSTRIES: Balks at Boston Finance's Conversion Bid
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware will convene a hearing today, Aug. 28, 2013,
at 9 a.m., to consider Boston Finance Group, LLC's motion to (i)
convert the Chapter 11 cases of Greenwood Forgings, LLC and US

The Debtors has opposed the motion stating that, among other
things:

   1. BFG's request has nothing to do with the best interests
      of creditors;

   2. BFG has not established an "absence of a reasonable
      likelihood of rehabilitation;" and

   3. BFG has not established a substantial or continuing loss.

BFG has argued that cause exists to convert the Greenwood and US
Tool cases to Chapter 7 based on a "substantial or continuing loss
to or diminution of the estate and the absence of a reasonable
likelihood of rehabilitation.

RG STEEL: Esmark Delays Restart of Ohio Mill Operations
-------------------------------------------------------
Esmark Inc. on Aug. 27 announced management changes for its Esmark
Steel Group subsidiary to better serve its diverse customer base
and streamline service center and mill operations in Chicago and
Ohio, respectively.  As part of the management realignment, Esmark
Inc. Chairman and CEO James P. Bouchard will reassume CEO duties
of Esmark Steel Group.

Esmark Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James P. Bouchard
said the management restructuring and his renewed role as CEO of
Steel Group operations were a strategic response to the changing
needs of its OEM customer base and the current dynamics of the
steel marketplace.  "We believe our management teams at our
service centers in Illinois and cold-rolled mill operations in
Ohio need to be better aligned to serve our OEM customers with the
right mix of products and services at the right time," he said.
"As the steel industry continues to adapt to the current economic
environment we must respond in kind if we're going to remain
competitive."

Brian Bergmann, currently Vice President of Esmark Inc. and a
seasoned steel industry executive, has been named Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer for Esmark Steel Group.  In addition,
Daniel Martin, currently Controller for Esmark Steel Group, has
been named Vice President of Finance for Steel Group operations.

Mr. Bouchard said that Thomas Modrowski, formerly CEO of Esmark
Steel Group, has been named Chief Operating Officer of its Ohio
mill operations, which includes Ohio Cold Rolling Company in
Yorkville, Ohio.  John Krupinski, currently CFO of Esmark Steel
Group, assumes the same title for Ohio mill operations. Thomas
Mihelcic, Vice President of Purchasing for Esmark's recently
divested CSI Bars Division, has been named General Manager of
Commercial Sales for Ohio Mill operations.  Michael Ogrizovich and
Scott Sternheimer, currently President and Vice President of
Commercial, respectively, of Esmark Steel Group, will remain in
their capacities.  All management changes are effective
immediately.

Mr. Bouchard added that all Esmark Steel Group operations and the
company's trucking and transportation logistics operations will
now be based at Esmark Inc.'s new world headquarters in Sewickley,
Pennsylvania.

    Esmark Delays Decision on Ohio Mill Restart as it Reviews
                Inquiries and Offers for Assets

Mr. Bouchard said that the company has not made a decision on
whether to restart the Ohio mill operations in Yorkville due to a
number of inquiries and offers made for the assets.  "We've
received multiple inquiries about the mill assets and several
offers from potential suitors, so the evaluation process must be
completed before we make the decision to restart the mill, sell
the assets or explore other strategic options," he explained.

Esmark acquired the former RG Steel Yorkville cold-rolled
finishing mill in a bankruptcy court-supervised auction in
August 2012, as well as RG Steel's 50 percent interest in Ohio
Coatings Company's tin plate production facility.

$255.76 million in total assets, $601.98 million in total
liabilities, and a $346.22 million total stockholders' deficiency.

On April 8, 2013, Rotech Healthcare and 114 subsidiary companies
filed petitions seeking relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 13-10741) to implement a pre-

ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT: Investor Says Law Firms Have No Dibs on Fees
------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Miami investor who recently settled with
the bankrupt law firm of Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein asked a
Florida bankruptcy court to reject bids by Conrad & Scherer LLP
and Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton PA to collect millions of dollars
in contingency fees through a charging lien.

According to the report, investor Ira Sochet, through his two
entities, Investors Risk Advantage LP and the Ira Sochet Inter
Vivos Revocable Trust, said the notice of attorneys' charging lien
that the two firms filed with the court is unenforceable.

                   About Rothstein Rosenfeldt

Scott Rothstein, co-founder of law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler
PA -- http://www.rra-law.com/-- was suspected of running a
$1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.  U.S. authorities claimed in a civil
forfeiture lawsuit filed Nov. 9, 2009, that Mr. Rothstein, the
firm's former chief executive officer, sold investments in non-
existent legal settlements.  Mr. Rothstein pleaded guilty to five
counts of conspiracy and wire fraud on Jan. 27, 2010.

Creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler signed a petition sending
the Florida law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who says she
lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran Development,
Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and trade
creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm, which
said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors alleged being owed money
invested in lawsuit settlements.

Herbert M. Stettin, the state-court appointed receiver for
Rothstein Rosenfeldt, was officially carried over as the
Chapter 11 trustee in the involuntary bankruptcy case.

On June 10, 2010, Mr. Rothstein was sentenced to 50 years in
prison.

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
case is represented by Michael Goldberg, Esq., at Akerman
Senterfitt.

RRA won approval of an amended liquidating Chapter 11 plan
pursuant to the Court's July 17, 2013 confirmation order.  The
revised plan, filed in May, is centered around a $72.4 million
settlement payment from TD Bank NA.


ROTECH HEALTHCARE: Equity Holders Out Of The Money, Judge Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled that Rotech
Healthcare Inc. is not solvent enough to provide a recovery for
equity holders, leading the U.S. Trustee's Office to say it will
disband the equity committee and likely putting an end to months
of bitter battles in the case.

According to the report, at a hearing in Wilmington, U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Peter J. Walsh granted a motion for summary
judgment from Rotech, which argued that the court could not find
the company as solvent because two reports had already valued the
company.

SENTINEL MANAGEMENT: 7th Circ. Revives Row Over BNY's $312MM Claim
------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that the Seventh Circuit on Aug. 26 revived a
challenge to Bank of New York Mellon Corp.'s $312 million claim
against bankrupt investment manager Sentinel Management Group
Inc., saying the district judge had contradicted himself in his
ruling in the bank's favor.

According to the report, the three-judge panel reversed U.S.
District Judge James B. Zagel's ruling that BNY Mellon hadn't
acted unfairly in writing a loan collateralized by Sentinel's
customers' money, reviving a challenge to the bank's claim by
Sentinel's bankruptcy trustee.

Tom Polansek, writing for Reuters, reports that the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago reversed part of a
ruling by U.S. District Judge James Zagel that put Bank of New
York Mellon Corp ahead of former customers of Sentinel Management
Group who are seeking to recoup money lost in the futures broker's
2007 collapse.  The Seventh Circuit said Judge Zagel must revisit
the case.

According to Reuters, a lawyer for Sentinel trustee Frederick
Grede said that if Judge Zagel agrees with the appeals court's
decisions, the bank may have to return about $312 million to the
bankruptcy trustee for distribution to former clients.

The case is Frederick Grede v. Bank of New York Mellon Corp., in
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, no. 10-3787.

-----------------------------------------------------
Sequenom, Inc., communicated to employees a plan to reduce the
Company's workforce, as part of an overall cost reduction effort.
The Reorganization affects approximately 75 employees.  The
majority of employees whose employment is being terminated were
notified on Aug. 19, 2013.  The Company expects all affected
employees to be notified no later than Aug. 23, 2013.

into severance arrangements with each terminated employee based on
seniority and tenure with the Company.  The Company expects to
provide severance payments, continuation of medical and dental
insurance benefits under COBRA, and outplacement services.

in compensation-related expenses (without consideration of stock
compensation expense) in future operating expenses on an
annualized basis from the Reorganization, which includes voluntary
and involuntary terminations that have occurred since July 1,
2013.  The Company also expects to recognize additional expense
reductions as a result of the Reorganization.  The Company is

record approximately $1.2 million in severance-related expenses
during the third quarter of 2013.  The severance-related charge
that the Company expects to incur in connection with the
Reorganization is subject to a number of assumptions, and actual
results may differ.  The Company may also incur other charges not
currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result
of, or associated with, the Company's overall cost reduction
effort, including the Reorganization.

THELEN LLP: Trustee Hits 6 More Ex-Partners With Clawbacks
----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Thelen LLP's trustee on Aug. 22 hit six
former equity partners with lawsuits alleging that they were
overpaid before the firm dissolved, possibly signaling a wind-down
of clawback actions filed in New York bankruptcy court that have
already led to settlements with more than 130 attorneys.

According to the report, the suits are the latest is a flurry of
efforts to recoup some of the defunct firm's losses by taking aim
at its former attorneys.  Several of the partners, at least 139 to
date, have settled claims with the firm's trustee, the report
said.

-- http://thelen.com/-- is a bi-coastal American law firm in

in 2006, and had 500 early in 2008, with offices in eight cities
in the United States, England and China.

In October 2008, Thelen's remaining partners voted to dissolve the
firm.  As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 22,
2009, Thelen LLP filed for Chapter 7 protection.  The filing was
expected due to the timing of a writ of attachment filed by one of
Thelen's landlords, entitling the landlord to $25 million of the
Company's assets.  The landlord won approval for that writ in June
2009, but Thelen could void the writ by filing for bankruptcy
within 90 days of that court ruling.  Thelen, according to AM Law

Aug. 2, 2013.  As previously disclosed, the Debtors' principal
operating assets have already been sold pursuant to Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases.
The objectives of the Plan are to effect the substantive
consolidation of the Debtors and provide a mechanism for the
prompt liquidation of the remaining assets of the Debtors, and
distribution of the proceeds thereof to Holders of Allowed Claims.
The Plan also establishes the Litigation Trust and the Stock
Trust.

On the Effective Date, all Equity Interests in the Company were
canceled and extinguished and a single share of stock in the
Company was issued to the Stock Trust, which it will hold for the
benefit of the former holders of Company stock, and that share of
stock will remain outstanding until the Company is dissolved in
accordance with the Plan.  The Litigation Trust was vested with
the Derivative Actions.  The Company is empowered to resolve
Claims, liquidate or dispose of the Debtors' remaining property,
and make Cash Distributions pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

The Plan classifies Claims and Equity Interests, except for
certain claims that are not classified, for all purposes,
including distributions under the Plan.  The treatment in the Plan
is in full and complete satisfaction of the legal, contractual,
and equitable rights that each person holding an Allowed Claim or
an Allowed Equity Interest may have in or against the Debtors or
their property.  Except as specifically set forth in the Plan, no
distributions will be made and no rights will be retained on
account of any Claim or Equity Interest that is not an Allowed
Claim or Allowed Equity Interest.

Article IV of the Plan provides for distributions to creditors and
Holders of Equity Interests.

Pursuant to section 4.07 and 4.08 of the Plan, the Holders of
Allowed Securities Law Claims and Equity Interests may not receive
any Distributions on account of those Claims.  Those parties will
be Stock Trust Beneficiaries.  In the event surplus funds remain
in the Company after all Holders of Allowed Claims receive the
Distributions provided for in Article IV of the Plan, on account
of those Allowed Claims, any remaining Net Proceeds will be
transferred to the Stock Trust for the benefit of Holders of
Allowed Securities Law Claims and Allowed Class 8 Equity
Interests, for treatment according to section 8.10(d) of the Plan.
There may be no distributions to the Stock Trust.

reductions have enabled us to manage our losses despite the
reduction in revenues and put us in a better position to
capitalize on new business opportunities."

                      About Trans-Lux Corporation

Norwalk, Conn.-based Trans-Lux Corporation (NYSE Amex: TLX) is a
designer and manufacturer of digital signage display solutions for
the financial, sports and entertainment, gaming and leasing
markets.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss
of $1.36 million on $23.02 million of total revenues, as compared
with a net loss of $1.41 million on $23.75 million of total
revenues during the prior year.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $20 million in total assets,
$18.31 million in total liabilities and $1.69 million in total
stockholders' equity.

"Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an
opinion on our consolidated financial statements that states that
the consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we
will continue as a going concern and further states that the
continuing losses and uncertainty regarding the ability to make
the required minimum funding contributions to the pension plan as
well as the sinking fund payments on the Debentures and the
principal and interest payments on the Notes and the Debentures
raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.  As a result, if the Company is unable to (i) obtain
additional liquidity for working capital, (ii) make the required
minimum funding contributions to the pension plan and (iii) make
the required principal and interest payments on the Notes and
Debentures, there would be a significant adverse impact on the
financial position and the operating results of the Company,"
according to the Company's annual report for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2012.

TUBE CITY: Moody's Says Privatization Could Be Credit Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that Tube City IMS Corporation's
ratings and outlook are not immediately impacted by plans for the
company to be taken private by year-end because the structure of
the transaction, including the terms and conditions of any related
financing, have not been announced. However, the transaction would
be credit negative if the majority of the expected cash
consideration is funded with debt.

Headquartered in Glassport, Pa., Tube City IMS Corporation
provides on-site steel mill services such as materials handling,
scrap management, metal recovery, and slag processing, and also
provides raw materials, logistics, and optimization services. The

Corporation maintains significant ownership and board
representation.

On March 2, 2012, Moody's upgraded Tube City's Corporate Family

also assigned a B1 rating to the company's proposed $300 million
term loan facility due 2019.

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

                             *   *    *

As reported by the TCR on June 11, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Blue Bell, Pa.-
based UniTek Global Services Inc. to 'D' from 'CCC'.  "The
downgrade follows UniTek's announcement that it did not make
a scheduled interest payment on May 29, 2013, on its senior
secured term loan due 2018, which we consider to be a default
under our timeliness of payments criteria," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Weinstein.

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

VINTAGE CONDOMINIUM: Parkway Bank May Foreclose on Property
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Daniel P. Collins gave his stamp of approval to a
stipulated order lifting the automatic stay in the Chapter 11 case
of Vintage Condominiums Development, LLC.

The stipulated order was entered into by the Debtor and its
secured creditor, Parkway Bank & Trust Company, and provides that:

   i) the automatic stay is vacated as to the Vintage property --
      real property located at 1303 West Juniper Avenue, Gilbert,
      Arizona -- the SCV property -- a vacant condominium project
      that previously had been apartments worth $1,300,000 which
      Scottsdale Condo Villas, LLC assert an interest -- and all
      personal property owned by the Debtor so as to permit
      Parkway to exercise all of its state law and contractual
      rights and remedies as to the property pending trustee's
      sale of the SCV property scheduled for Aug. 9 and the
      Vintage property for Aug. 16;

  ii) the cash collateral order and the second cash collateral
      order are vacated.

iii) the Debtor are authorized to pay these consultants: $1,500,
      to Mr. Dilley; $1,700 to Mr. Kirchoff and $1,500 to
      Kevin Owens, a final payment for their services within
      24 hours after entry of the stipulated order; and

  iv) Parkway to not oppose to the dismissal of the case.

Parkway, in its motion for relief of stay, noted that it has
provided Vintage with a line of credit loan in the maximum amount
of $14,058,750.  The amount due and owing to Parkway is not less
than $12,306,126 as of April 1, 2013.  The Debtor has defaulted on
its loan obligations.

Parkway said that the Debtor conceded that the Vintage Property
and the SCV Property are not essential for an effective
reorganization.

for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 13-08431) on

receiver at the behest of the secured lender.

The Vintage Condominiums complex has 107 units, approximately two
of which have been purchased by third-party buyers and
approximately 105 of which are currently owned by Vintage.

The lender Parkway Bank & Trust Co., owed $12.3 million, had a
receiver appointed after giving notice of default on April 12,
2013.  The Debtor disclosed $12,511,600 in assets and $23,956,587
in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

counsel to the Debtor.

Christopher R. Kaup, and J. Daryl Dorsey, Esq., at Tiffany & Bosco

The U.S. Trustee wasn't able to appoint a creditors committee
because an insufficient number of persons holding unsecured claims
against the Debtor have expressed interest in serving on a
committee.  The U.S. Trustee reserves the right to appoint such a

--------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a Delaware state judge on Aug. 23 allowed XL
Specialty Insurance Co. and other directors and officers insurers
to file an interlocutory appeal of her decision not to dismiss a
lawsuit from the Washington Mutual Inc. liquidating trust, which
is seeking to compel the companies to cover millions of dollars in
executives' defense costs.

According to the report, Delaware Superior Court Judge Mary M.
Johnston ordered that the insurers' appeal be certified to the
state Supreme Court while the case she is hearing in New Castle
County is still running.

                      About Washington Mutual

Based in Seattle, Washington, Washington Mutual Inc. --
http://www.wamu.com/-- was the holding company for Washington
Mutual Bank as well as numerous non-bank subsidiaries.

Washington Mutual Bank was taken over on Sept. 25, 2008, by U.S.
government regulators.  The next day, WaMu and its affiliate, WMI
Investment Corp., filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. D. Del. 08-12229 and 08-12228, respectively).  WaMu owns
100% of the equity in WMI Investment.  When WaMu filed for
protection from its creditors, it disclosed assets of
$32,896,605,516 and debts of $8,167,022,695.  WMI Investment
estimated assets of $500 million to $1 billion with zero debts.

WaMu is represented by Brian Rosen, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP in New York City; Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards,
Layton & Finger P.A. in Wilmington, Del.; and Peter Calamari,
Esq., and David Elsberg, Esq., at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver &
Hedges, LLP.  The Debtor tapped Valuation Research Corporation as
valuation service provider for certain assets.

Fred S. Hodara, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Fled LLP in New
York, and David B. Stratton, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP in
Wilmington, Del., represent the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors. Stephen D. Susman, Esq., at Susman Godfrey LLP and
William P. Bowden, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., represent the
Equity Committee.  The official committee of equity security
holders also tapped BDO USA as its tax advisor. Stacey R.
Friedman, Esq., at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Adam G. Landis,
Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP in Wilmington, Del., represent
JPMorgan Chase, which acquired the WaMu bank unit's assets prior
to the Petition Date.

Records filed Jan. 24, 2012, say that Washington Mutual Inc.,
former owner of the biggest U.S. bank to fail, has spent
$232.8 million on bankruptcy professionals since filing its
Chapter 11case in September 2008.

In March 2012, the Debtors' Seventh Amended Joint Plan of
Affiliated, as modified, and as confirmed by order, dated Feb. 23,
2012, became effective, marking the successful completion of the
chapter 11 restructuring process.

The Plan is based on a global settlement that removed opposition
to the reorganization and remedy defects the judge identified in
September.  The plan is designed to distribute $7 billion.  Under
the reorganization plan, WaMu established a liquidating trust to
make distributions to parties-in-interest on account of their
allowed claims.

WESTERN PLAINS: To File Proposal Under Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act
------------------------------------------------------------------
Western Plains Petroleum Ltd. on Aug. 27 disclosed that it has
filed with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, a
Notice of Intention to File a Proposal under Part III of the
Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada).  As a consequence of such
filing, any and all recourses of the Company's creditors are
stayed for an initial period of thirty (30) days, which may be
extended by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta.  The Company is
not currently in a position to meet the obligations owing to its
secured and unsecured creditors and as such, has taken this action
under the BIA as the most expeditious and economical manner of
addressing the interests of its creditors and allowing it to carry
on its operations.  The filing of the Notice of Intention was made
with the consent of the Company's lender, Canadian Western Bank,
which, as previously announced by the Company, has made demand
upon the Company for payment in full of its outstanding
indebtedness.

Western Plains expects to file a formal proposal under the BIA,
setting forth a comprehensive plan for payment to its creditors in
due course.  In connection with the foregoing, the Grant Thornton
Alger Inc., of Calgary, Alberta, has been named as proposal
trustee in the Notice of Intention, and in that capacity will
monitor and assist the Company in its restructuring efforts.

The filing of the Notice of Intention has the effect of imposing
an automatic stay of proceedings that will protect the Company and
its assets from the claims of creditors and others while the
Company pursues its restructuring efforts.  There can be no
guarantee that the Company will be successful in its restructuring
efforts.  Failure by the Company to achieve its restructuring
goals will likely result in the Company becoming bankrupt.

Trading will resume in the common shares of the Company on the TSX
Venture Exchange on Thursday, August 29th, 2013.

All inquiries regarding the BIA proceedings should be directed to

operations include coal mining in the Powder River Basin in
Montana and lignite mining operations in Montana, North Dakota and
Texas.  Its power operations include ownership of the two-unit
ROVA coal-fired power plant in North Carolina.

Westmoreland Coal incurred a net loss of $13.66 million in 2012, a
net loss of $36.87 million in 2011, and a net loss of $3.17
million in 2010.  The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2013,
showed $943.01 million in total assets, $1.22 billion in total

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 6, 2012, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating on Englewood,
Co.-based Westmoreland Coal Co. (WLB). to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.

"The upgrade reflects our view that WLB is less vulnerable to
default after successfully negotiating less restrictive covenant
requirements for an unrated $110 million term loan due 2018," said
credit analyst Gayle Bowerman.  "Our assessment of WLB's business
risk profile as 'vulnerable' and financial risk profile as 'highly
leveraged' are unchanged.  We also revised our liquidity score to
'adequate' based on the covenant relief and additional liquidity
provided under the company's new $20 million asset-based loan
(ABL) facility from 'less than adequate'."

Westmoreland Coal carries a Caa1 corporate family rating from
Moody's Investors Service.


YRC WORLDWIDE: Marc Lasry Held 17.7% Equity Stake at Aug. 7
-----------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Marc Lasry and his affiliates disclosed that
as of Aug. 7, 2013, they beneficially owned 2,214,724 shares of
common stock of YRC Worldwide Inc. representing 17.75 percent of
the shares outstanding.  Mr. Lasry previously reported beneficial
onwership of 207,136,050 common shares or 9.5 percent equity stake
as of Sept. 16, 2011.  A copy of the amended regulatory filing is

                         About YRC Worldwide

Headquartered in Overland Park, Kan., YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ:
YRCW) -- http://www.yrcw.com/-- is a holding company that offers
its customers a wide range of transportation services.  These
services include global, national and regional transportation as
well as logistics.

After auditing the 2011 results, the Company's independent
auditors expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.  KPMG LLP, in Kansas City,
Missouri, noted that the Company has experienced recurring net
losses from continuing operations and operating cash flow deficits
and forecasts that it will not be able to comply with certain debt
covenants through 2012.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss
of $136.5 million on $4.85 billion of operating revenue, as
compared with a net loss of $354.4 million on $4.86 billion of
operating revenue during the prior year.  As of June 30, 2013, the
Company had $2.17 billion in total assets, $2.81 billion in total
liabilities and a $641.5 million total shareholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

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

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

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

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


* BofA Suit Against FDIC on $1.7 Billion Loss Dismissed
-------------------------------------------------------
Sara Forden, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that Bank of
America Corp.'s lawsuit against the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. over $1.7 billion in investor losses was dismissed by a
federal judge.

According to the report, U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in
Washington threw out the case, saying there weren't enough assets
to make any payments on general creditor claims.

Bank of America's claims, based on its role as trustee for Ocala
Funding LLC, "have no value and must therefore be dismissed
because no case or controversy exists," Rothstein wrote in her
decision on Aug. 27.

The case stems from a mortgage-fraud scheme at failed lender
Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp, the report added.  From
2002 through August 2009, Lee Farkas, while he was chairman of
Taylor Bean, sold more than $1.5 billion in fake mortgage loans to
Colonial Bank with the collusion of its employees and diverted
more than $1.5 billion from Ocala Funding, a financing vehicle
Taylor Bean controlled.

Farkas is serving a 30-year sentence after being convicted in
April 2011 of 14 counts of conspiracy and bank, wire and
securities fraud in what prosecutors said was a $3 billion scheme
involving fake mortgage assets.


* JPMorgan Ordered to Pay Blavatnik $42.5MM over Mortgage Losses
----------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reported that a New York state judge found JPMorgan Chase
& Co liable to Russian-American billionaire Leonard Blavatnik for
breach of contract for stuffing an investment account he held with
risky subprime mortgage securities, and ordered the bank to pay
more than $50 million of damages including interest.

According to the report, in a decision made public on Aug. 26, New
York State Supreme Court Justice Melvin Schweitzer ordered the
largest US bank to pay $42.5 million on the breach of contract
claim, plus 5 percent annual interest starting in May 2008.

The Manhattan judge also found JPMorgan was not liable for
negligence, the report related.  His decision was dated Aug. 21,
and came about seven months after a three-week, non-jury trial.

Blavatnik had sued JPMorgan in 2009 to recover more than $100
million that he said the New York-based bank lost on a roughly $1
billion investment by CMMF LLC, a fund created by his firm, Access
Industries Group, the report added.

The decision comes as JPMorgan faces a swirl of other litigation
and investigations, including into its handling of mortgage-
related businesses during the financial crisis, according to the
report.


* Law Group Didn't Red-Flag 1031 Buyer's Misdeeds, Jury Hears
-------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Silicon Valley Law Group failed to warn the
owners of a real-estate investment firm about a potential buyer's
fishy borrowing habits before he was convicted of a $126 million
Ponzi scheme, the firm's attorney told a jury in opening
statements in their malpractice case against the law group.

According to the report, SVLG and its high-ranking mergers &
acquisitions partner, Jim Chapman, should have told 1031 Advance
owners Janet Dashiell and Steven Allred that their top suitor,
Edward Okun, had been known to borrow money from the other
investment firms.

The case is McHale v. Silicon Valley Law Group, Case No. 3:10-cv-
04864 (N.D. Calif.) before Judge Joseph C. Spero.


* MERS Wins Dismissal of Minnesota Counties' Filings Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Harris, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that Mortgage
Electronic Registration Systems Inc. won dismissal of a lawsuit
brought by Minnesota's Ramsey and Hennepin counties over claims
the use of MERS to avoid paying mortgage-assignment filing fees
violates state law.

According to the report, U.S. District Judge David S. Doty in
Minneapolis threw out the counties' complaint on Aug. 27, ruling
that state law doesn't require all transactions be recorded and
only mandates what happens if they aren't.

The applicable law says in part, "every conveyance of real estate
shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the
county where such real estate is situated; and every such
conveyance not so recorded shall be void as against any subsequent
purchaser in good faith and for a valuable consideration of the
same real estate, or any part thereof, whose conveyance is first
duly recorded," the report related.

"Nothing in the statute suggests -- either through text or
punctuation -- that the phrase shall be recorded is to be divorced
from the surrounding text," the judge said, the report further
related.

MERS, a unit of co-defendant Merscorp Holdings Inc., files
mortgages as the lenders' assignees or nominees to eliminate the
need to record assignments of the notes securing those loans when
they're sold.

The case is County of Ramsey v. Merscorp Holdings Inc., 13-cv-474,
U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota (Minneapolis).


* Fed Asks Judge to Leave Swipe Fee Rules During Appeal
-------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Zajac, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that the U.S.
Federal Reserve asked that its rules on debit-card transaction
fees and processing be left in place while it appeals a decision
that they are illegal.

Maintaining the regulations would provide stability in the debit
card marketplace while disagreements on rules are settled,
according to a court filing by the Fed in Washington, the report
related.

"If the regulations here were vacated by the District Court, there
would be no legally binding standards for determining the
permissible amount of interchange fees an issuer could receive
with respect to a debit card transaction and no limitations on
exclusive routing restrictions imposed by issuers and payment
networks on debit card transactions, lawyers for the Fed wrote,
the report said.

The Fed will ask the appeals court for an expedited appeal, and on
that basis, the central bank has the support of retailer groups
who sued to challenge the regulations, according to its filing on
Aug. 27.

''We'd rather there be no appeal, but if there's going to an
appeal, we'd want the existing rules to stay in place," said Craig
Shearman, vice president of the National Retail Federation, one of
the plaintiffs in the case. "Otherwise we'd be back to the wild,
wild west of no caps on swipe fees."


* Moody's Expects Continued Rates Hike for U.S. P&C Insurers
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's expects US property and casualty (P&C) insurance rates to
continue to rise during the remainder of 2013 for the major
commercial lines, following significant rate increases for 2012,
says Moody's Investors Service in its special comment "US P&C
Insurance Pricing Generates Margin Expansion, Rate Needed in
Casualty."

The report is based on 2013 survey data from Moody's-rated
issuers. This increase would mark the third straight year of
rising rates for commercial carriers, says Moody's. These lines
include workers' compensation, commercial general liability,
professional liability, commercial auto, and commercial multiple
peril, which represented 28% of 2012 industry net premiums written
and 60% of carried loss and loss adjustment expense reserves as of
year-end 2012 for the industry.

"If the rate increases continue at the current pace and loss ratio
trends remain moderate, then commercial insurers' ex-catastrophe
underwriting margins will improve for the remainder of 2013 and
2014," said analyst Jasper Cooper. "We expect the combined ratios
to decline from about 106% in accident year (AY) 2012 to about
101.5% for AY 2013 and further drop to about 97% for AY 2014 if
current trends hold."

Moody's notes that commercial insurers expect average rate
increases of about 7.5% for policies written in 2013, which is up
from an increase of 6.5% for 2012 and 2.5% for 2011 for the five
major liability lines. The survey by Moody's also found that
companies indicated a reduced appetite for taking on risk, which
could help sustain future rate improvement as they anticipate
slightly higher severity trends and exposure trends for 2013 and
2014.

Despite reduced risk appetite, some insurers have reported a
modest slowing of rate increases in certain lines of business,
most notably commercial property which is not surprising given
three years of significant rate increases. Moody's notes that
predicting an inflection point in the market is elusive; however,
given still low interest rates and low -- but improving - accident
year profitability, rate increases are likely to be sustained over
the medium term but not accelerate from current levels given ample
capacity.

Workers' compensation (WC), one of the most problematic lines in
recent years, has seen steady declines in accident year combined
ratios to 107.5% in 2012 from about 118% in 2010, and the ratio is
expected to decline even further to about 101% in 2013 as a result
of rate increases continuing to outpacing loss ratio trends.
However, operating returns on surplus are still low relative to
target returns, and further rate increases are needed given the
line's sensitivity to still low new money rates and lower reserve
releases on older accident years.


* S&P Says Municipal Mortgage-Seizure Plan Would Hurt Bond Grades
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jody Shenn, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that Standard &
Poor's probably will demand greater protections for investors when
mortgage bonds are backed by loans to homeowners in jurisdictions
that use eminent domain to seize debt to help borrowers.

According to the report, the use of eminent domain, such as
contemplated by Richmond, California, would create an "additional
risk of default," as well as require different assumptions on the
size of per-loan losses, S&P analysts James Taylor and Sharif
Mahdavian said on Aug. 27 in a report. The ratings firm would
likely require more credit support, or protection such as some
classes of deals taking losses before others, they wrote.

"The comparative decline in value for mortgages in jurisdictions
that have employed eminent domain would likely make
securitizations more speculative," the New York-based analysts
said, the report related.  "We would expect this to translate into
a higher mortgage rate and/or fewer credit opportunities for
borrowers in those jurisdictions."

Richmond is furthest along in considering using its eminent domain
powers in such a way, which is being advocated by Mortgage
Resolution Partners LLC and studied by about a dozen
municipalities, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. S&P's
statement on its potential reaction if the effort progresses
follows the ratings company's response in 2003 to a predatory-
lending law in Georgia with a refusal to grade bonds with home
loans in the state.


* Poll Shows Many Small Business Owners Burdened by Debt
--------------------------------------------------------
A Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index poll from the spring of
2013 shows that, despite increasing optimism about the general
business environment, many small business owners feel they are
carrying too much debt for their company to successfully manage.
When debt becomes too large to handle and a business owner needs
help to recover his or her financial footing, filing for Chapter
11 bankruptcy, or even liquidating the business in Chapter 7
bankruptcy, may be a wise decision.

Survey Reveals Concern Over Small Business Debt

In the second quarter of 2013, a randomly selected group of 603
small business owners was surveyed by the Wells Fargo/Gallup Small
Business Index, which has been surveying small business owners
since 2003. As reported by Gallup, the results revealed that more
than a third of small business owners in the nation -- 36 percent
-- are either "somewhat uncomfortable" or "very uncomfortable"
with the amount of business debt they have.

More information from the poll shows that:

     -- 76 percent of small business owners have carried debt
        to support their businesses.

     -- 20 percent of small business owners reported that
        they have more debt than one year ago.

     -- 49 percent of small business owners said it is extremely,
        very, or somewhat difficult to reduce their current
        business debt load.

Reduce or Eliminate Business Debt through Bankruptcy

When a business is carrying too much debt, filing for bankruptcy
can help. Some business owners may feel that, by filing for
bankruptcy with their business, they have failed and shouldn't try
again. However, that simply is not true.

Gallup reported statistics from the U.S. Small Business
Administration showing that about half of all small businesses
fail within the first five years of operating. Many of these
business owners learn valuable lessons from the experience. Those
lessons aren't lost; they're applied to future businesses,
businesses which likely have a greater likelihood of success.
And besides, bankruptcy itself does not necessarily mean the end
of the business.

When a business has an unmanageable amount of debt but is
otherwise strong and financially viable, reorganizing the debt
through Chapter 11 bankruptcy can help the business weather the
temporary debt storm and move on to a brighter future. When it
seems the business will not ever be able to operate profitably,
however, it may be more beneficial to liquidate the business
through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

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.
