11850 DEL PUEBLO: Court Approves CBRE Inc. as Real Estate Broker
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
authorized 11850 Del Pueblo, LLC, to employ CBRE, Inc., as real
estate broker for the sale of the Debtor's property located at
11850 Valley Boulevard, El Monte, CA 91732.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 31, 2013, the
Debtor requires CBRE Inc. to:

   (a) market the property, show the property to potential
       purchasers;

   (b) represent the Debtor as seller in connection with the sale
       of the property;

   (c) advise the Debtor with respect to obtaining the highest and
       best offer available in the present market for the
       property;

   (d) assist the Debtor in connection with any auction of the
       property; and

   (e) work with the Debtor to execute a strategy to maximize the
       value of the property while minimizing any risk, and will
       assist in assessing, qualifying and selecting the best
       buyer to ensure an efficient sale process.

As detailed in the Listing Agreement, CBRE Inc. will receive a
commission in the amount of:

       $150,000 if the gross purchase price is less than or equal
                to $15,000,000;

       $225,000 if the gross purchase price is greater than
                $15,000,000 and less than or equal to $15,500,000;
                and

             2% of the gross purchase price if the gross purchase
                price is greater than $15,500,000.

CBRE Inc. will share a portion of the Commission with the broker
retained by the buyer, if any, in an amount to be agreed to among
the brokers.

The Listing Agreement makes clear, however, that the Debtor is not
obligated to pay, and its estate is not liable for any Commission
in the event that either:

       - the Noteholder acquires the Property through a credit
         bid, or

       - the Noteholder obtains relief from the automatic stay in
         the Case to proceed with state law remedies against the
         property.

CBRE Inc. will pay all marketing costs including, without
limitation, those associated with assembling an offering brochure
and other marketing materials, the use of CBRE Inc. valuation
services and any necessary travel required to market the property,
except that the Debtor will be responsible for reimbursing CBRE
Inc. for actual, out-of-pocket marketing costs in an amount not to
exceed $750 if the Debtor removes the Property from the market for
any reason other than cause.

In addition, if the Debtor removes the property from the market,
the Debtor is requesting approval to reimburse CBRE Inc. for up to
$750 of actual, out-of-pocket expenses without further notice,
application to, or Court approval.

Daniel Riley, senior vice-president of CBRE Inc., assured the
Court that the firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is
defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and does not
represent any interest adverse to the Debtors and their estates.

                    About 11850 Del Pueblo

11850 Del Pueblo, LLC, first filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
C.D. Cal. Case No. 12-42819) in Los Angeles on Sept. 27, 2012.
The Debtor, a Single Asset Real Estate under 11 Sec. 101(51B),
owns property on 11850 Valley Boulevard, in El Monte, California.
The property, according to the schedules filed together with the
petition, is worth $9 million and secures a $17.5 million claim.
The Court eventually dismissed the bankruptcy case on Oct. 12,
2012, due to the Debtor's failure to timely file certain necessary
documents.

The Debtor filed a second petition (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 12-44726)
on Oct. 15.  Bankruptcy Judge Robert N. Kwan presides over the
case.

Patrick Galentine is the duly appointed state court receiver and
custodian for the Debtor.  Craig A. Welin, Esq., and Reed S.
Wadell, Esq., serve as bankruptcy counsel for the receiver.

U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, successor-in-interest
to Bank of America, N.A., as Trustee, as successor by merger to
LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee, for the Registered
Holders of Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series CD2006-CD3, is
represented by Alan M. Feld, Esq., M. Reed Mercado, Esq., and Adam
McNeile, Esq., at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP.


11850 DEL PUEBLO: Court Okays Accord With Noteholder and Payless
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
approved:

   i) the compromise between 11850 Del Pueblo, LLC, U.S. Bank
      National Association, as trustee, as successor in interest
      to Bank of America, N.A., as trustee, as successor by merger
      to LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee for the
      registered holders of Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving
      Corporation, CD 2006-CD3 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
      Certificates, Frank H. Rodd and Bijan H. Rodd- the
      principals of the Debtor and guarantors of the Loan to the
      Noteholder; and

  ii) the settlement between the Debtor and B.F. Roddco, Inc.,
      a California corporation dba Payless Foods for waiver
      of certain claims and rejection of the Payless Lease.

The Debtor related that the Noteholder, the Debtor and the Rodds
have entered into a global settlement which provides a blue-print
for resolving the case through a consensual sale of the property
and an allocation of the sale proceeds in a manner which allows
for the Debtor's estate to share in a portion of the sale proceeds
before the Noteholder is potentially paid in full on its asserted
secured claim.  The Payless Settlement facilitates the Debtor
effectuating the Settlement Agreement.

       Settlement Among Debtor, the Rodds and the Noteholder

The principal terms of the Settlement Agreement, include, among
other things:

   1. The Debtor will stipulate to relief from the automatic
      stay imposed by Bankruptcy Code Section 362, as to the
      Noteholder, effective 120 days after the date of the
      executed Settlement Agreement. The Debtor has the option
      to extend the Relief Date by up to 30 days, if by the Relief
      Date, the sale of the Property has not closed, but the
      Debtor and buyer have executed a purchase agreement which
      has been approved by the Court for a gross sales price in
      excess of the threshold price, and the buyer has provided
      a good-faith non-refundable deposit of no less than
      $100,000.00 in connection with the executed purchase
      agreement.

   2. Through the Relief Date, the Property will be marketed
      for sale by CBRE, Inc. and sold in a competitive auction
      process subject to overbid.

   3. If at any time up to the earlier of the Closing Date or
      the Relief Date (a) Noteholder does not timely receive the
      full amount of any monthly payment in accordance with the
      Omnibus Order, (b) Receiver does not timely receive the full
      amount of any Monthly Reserve in accordance with the Omnibus
      Order, or (c) Agreement Parties fail to timely comply with
      any term, condition or covenant set forth in this
      Stipulation, the Sale and Assignment Motion, the Bidding
      Procedures or the Orders, then any of the foregoing will
      constitute a "Triggering Event" as set forth in the Omnibus
      Order, and the provisions of Paragraph 4 of the Omnibus
      Order will thereupon apply.

             Settlement between the Debtor and Payless

B.F. Roddco, Inc., a California corporation dba Payless Foods, is
a company owned by the Rodds.  Payless operates a grocery store
located in the Debtor's shopping center pursuant to a lease
between the Debtor and Payless dated Aug. 1, 2004.  The Payless
Lease has term of fifteen years which commenced on Oct. 1, 2004,
with three renewal options of five years each.

The Settlement Agreement provides for a waiver of claims by the
Noteholder against Payless.  The Settlement Agreement also
provides that the Noteholder will not object to the Debtor
rejecting the Payless Lease as of the earlier of the Closing Date
or the Relief Date.  The Debtor intends as part of the overall
settlement with the Noteholder to release the past due rent claim
against Payless and also to reject the Payless Lease as of the
earlier of the Closing Date or the Relief Date.

The Settlement Agreement is intended to effectuate an overall
settlement between the Noteholder, on the one hand, and the Debtor
and the Rodds, on the other hand, and to provide a means for the
Debtor to exit the Chapter 11 case.

                     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.

for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a net loss
allocable to common stockholders of $4.30 million on $1.84 million
of total revenues during the prior year.

Whitley Penn LLP, in Dallas, 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 had recurring losses from operations, negative cash
flows from operating activities and has an accumulated deficit,
which conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.


ALION SCIENCE: Reaches Preliminary Deal With Creditors Group
------------------------------------------------------------
Emily Glazer, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Alion Science and Technology, a defense contractor struggling with
government spending cuts, reached a preliminary agreement with a
group of creditors to push out the maturity of roughly $350
million of bonds coming due next year, according to a securities
filing.

According to the report, the deal, disclosed on Nov. 15 but not
widely noticed, is aimed at staving off an expected "going
concern" note from Alion's auditor, a person familiar with the
matter said. Such an opinion from a company's auditor often
signals that it is in danger of going bankrupt.

An Alion spokesman didn't respond to requests for comment, the
report said.

The company provides information-technology and other support to
the government for national security, the report related.  It
operates roughly 200,000 square feet of laboratory facilities and
technical centers across the U.S. Along with other small- and
medium-sized defense companies, Alion has been hurt as a surge in
overseas conflicts in the last decade ebbs and as across-the-board
budget cuts known as the sequester kick in, said Mark Liscio, co-
chair of the bankruptcy and restructuring group at Kaye Scholer,
who is not involved in the Alion restructuring.

Alion's bankers at Goldman Sachs are in talks with a variety of
financial firms -- whose names couldn't be learned -- to secure
the new debt, this person and another said, the report further
related.  The new debt will likely be in the form of a bank-loan
facility, which would be less expensive than the existing bonds
but also carry stricter covenants, one of these people said.

                        About Alion Science

Alion Science and Technology Corporation, based in McLean,
Virginia, is an employee-owned company that provides scientific
research, development, and engineering services related to
national defense, homeland security, and energy and environmental
analysis.  Particular areas of expertise include communications,
wireless technology, netcentric warfare, modeling and simulation,
chemical and biological warfare, program management.

Alion Science incurred a net loss of $41.44 million for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2012, a net loss of $44.38 million for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2011, and a net loss of $15.23 million for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2010.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had
$632.86 million in total assets, $799.58 million in total
liabilities, $111.01 million in redeemable common stock, $20.78
million in common stock warrants, $149,000 in accumulated other
comprehensive loss and a $298.37 million accumulated deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in its annual report for the fiscal year ended
Sept. 30, 2012, "Our credit arrangements, including our unsecured
and secured note indentures and our revolving credit facility
include a number of covenants.  We expect to be able to comply
with our indenture covenants and our credit facility financial
covenants for at least the next twenty-one months.  If we were
unable to meet financial covenants in our revolving credit
facility in the future, we might need to amend the revolving
credit facility on less favourable terms.  If we were to default
under any of the revolving credit facility covenants, we could
pursue an amendment or waiver with our existing lenders, but there
can be no assurance that lenders would grant an amendment or
waiver.  In light of current credit market conditions, any such
amendment or waiver might be on terms, including additional fees,
increased interest rates and other more stringent terms and
conditions materially disadvantageous to us.  If we were unable to
meet these financial covenants in the future and unable to obtain
future covenant relief or an appropriate waiver, we could be in
default under the revolving credit facility.  This could cause all
amounts borrowed under it and all underlying letters of credit to
become immediately due and payable, expose our assets to seizure,
cause a potential cross-default under our indentures and possibly
require us to invoke insolvency proceedings including, but not
limited to, a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."


ALLY FINANCIAL: Repays $5.9 Billion to U.S. Treasury
----------------------------------------------------
Andrew R. Johnson, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Ally Financial Inc. has repaid more than two thirds of its
$17.2 billion crisis-era bailout following a move on Nov. 20 to
repurchase $5.9 billion of shares from the U.S. Treasury
Department.

According to the report, the move puts the government a step
closer to exiting its stake in the Detroit-based company, which
struggled under the weight of subprime mortgage losses during the
financial crisis that almost led to the firm's collapse.

"Taxpayers are now in a stronger position to maximize the value of
their remaining investment in Ally," Timothy Bowler, deputy
assistant secretary of the Treasury, wrote in a Treasury blog post
on Nov. 20, the report cited.  He added that the Treasury "will
work with Ally on a public offering or private sale of its common
shares or sales of assets to complete its exit."

Ally Chief Executive Michael Carpenter has previously said an IPO
or private transaction could be options as the U.S. government
looks to exit its remaining stake in the company, the report
related.

Ally said it expected to repurchase $5.9 billion of preferred
shares owned by the Treasury after the Federal Reserve said it
didn't object to revised capital plan from the company, the report
further related.  Including the buyback disclosed on Nov. 20, Ally
has repaid $12.3 billion of its $17.2 billion bailout, Mr. Bowler
wrote.

ALYDIAN INC: Aims to Sell Bitcoin Mining Platform in Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
battered bitcoin miner Alydian might try to sell some of its
highly specialized computer systems at a bankruptcy sale while it
works to extract the virtual currency for customers who were
promised the chance to buy bitcoins at dirt-cheap prices.

According to the report, Alydian's bankruptcy lawyers revealed in
recent court papers that they plan to sell the Bainbridge Island,
Wash., company's assets after its struggled to make money within
the volatile bitcoin industry using technology that's no longer
state-of-the-art.

"Mining difficulty has increased stratospherically, well beyond
expectations," said Alydian lawyers in response to a federal
lawsuit filed in New York by an angry customer, the report
related.  "Mining now requires exponentially more expensive
hardware than it did when" the customer placed its order.

Even though Alydian officials have spent roughly $4 million on
their bitcoin mining rigs, designed to solve complex mathematical
algorithms in order to mine the virtual currency, the company's
system isn't "fully deployed" yet, according to papers filed with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Seattle, the report said.  Alydian
officials who put the company into Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Nov. 1
have said that some of its manufacturing parts are still en route
from Taiwan.

So far, Alydian has only mined about 3,041 bitcoins, according to
a recent tally filed in the New York lawsuit, the report further
related.

The case is In re CLI Holdings Inc., 13-bk-19746, U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Western District of Washington (Seattle).

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"We are also attempting to extend the maturity date of all
outstanding debt securities due in the years 2012 and 2013, but
can provide no assurance that the holders of such securities will
agree to extend the maturity date on these securities on
acceptable terms.  We are also discussing the possibility of these
debt holders converting the securities into equity.  If our debt
holders choose not to convert certain of these securities into
equity, we will need to repay such debt, or reach an agreement
with the debt holders to extend the terms thereof.  If we are
forced to repay the debt, this need for funds would have a
material adverse impact on our business operations, financial
condition and prospects, would threaten our ability to operate as
a going concern and may force us to seek bankruptcy protection,"
the Company said in the Quarterly Report.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Deal Over Funds Collapses
--------------------------------------------
Dan Strumpf and Matt Wirz, writing for The Wall Street Journal,
reported that a planned $800 million settlement between one of the
largest investors in the Bernard L. Madoff Ponzi scheme and the
trustee recovering funds for Madoff investors has collapsed,
people familiar with the matter said.

According to the report, the deal between Kingate Management, a
feeder fund to Madoff's firm, and bankruptcy trustee Irving Picard
fell apart after the Justice Department recently announced its
decision to exclude such funds from payouts out of the agency's
$2.35 billion Madoff Victim Fund, which is overseen by Richard
Breeden.

The settlement would have returned about $800 million to the
Madoff bankruptcy trustee, which manages a separate, larger fund
for victims of the fraud that has so far recovered $9.51 billion,
the report related.  Kingate, a hedge fund based in the British
Virgin Islands, invested $1.73 billion in Madoff's firm from 1994
to 2008, according to court filings.

The Justice Department decision caught officials in Mr. Picard's
office by surprise, according to people familiar with the matter,
the report said.

Mr. Picard has been reimbursing only direct Madoff investors,
which includes managers or liquidators of feeder funds, the report
further related.  The provisional settlement with Kingate assumed
Mr. Breeden would adopt a similar approach, people familiar with
the matter said.

                      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 about 58 percent of customer claims totaling
$17.3 billion.  The most recent distribution was in March 2013.

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.  Picard is holding almost
$4.4 billion he can't distribute on account of outstanding
appeals and disputes.  The largest holdback, almost $2.8 billion,
results from disputed claims.

Caesars Entertainment carries a 'CCC' long-term issuer default
rating, with negative outlook, from Fitch and a 'Caa1' corporate
family rating with negative outlook from Moody's Investors
Service.

As reported in the TCR on Feb. 5, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
lowered the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of Caesars
Entertainment Corporation to SGL-3 from SGL-2, reflecting
declining revolver availability and Moody's concerns that Caesars'
earnings and cash flow will remain under pressure causing the
company's negative cash flow to worsen.

In the May 7, 2013, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said that it lowered its corporate credit ratings on Las
Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CEC) and wholly owned
subsidiary Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. (CEOC) to 'CCC+'
from 'B-'.

"The downgrade reflects weaker-than-expected operating performance
in the first quarter, and our view that Caesars' capital structure
may be unsustainable over the next two years based on our EBITDA
forecast for the company," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Melissa Long.


CALUMET SPECIALTY: S&P Rates New $225MM Sr. Unsecured Notes 'B+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B+'
issue-level rating to Indianapolis, Ind.-based Calumet Specialty
Products Partners L.P. (Calumet) and Calumet Finance Corp.'s
proposed $225 million senior unsecured notes due 2022.  S&P also
assigned its '4' recovery rating to the debt, indicating its
expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery of principal in the
event of a payment default.

The partnership intends to use net proceeds for general
partnership purposes.  Calumet specializes in the refining and
distribution of specialty hydrocarbon and fuel products across the
U. S.  S&P's 'B+' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on
Calumet is unchanged.  As of Sept. 30, 2013, Calumet had about
$864 million in debt.

CENTRAL ENERGY: Incurs $113,000 Net Loss in Third Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------
Central Energy Partners LP filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a
net loss of $113,000 on $1.04 million of revenues for the three
months ended Sept. 30, 2013, as compared with a net loss of
$362,000 on $1.46 million of revenues for the same period a year
ago.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, the Company reported a
net loss of $199,000 on $3.48 million of revenues as compared with
a net loss of $1.09 million on $4.07 million of revenues for the
same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $7.94
million in total assets, $8.23 million in total liabilities and a
$290,000 total partners' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Central's ability to raise capital is hindered by the existing
pledge and therefore the ability to obtain additional capital over
the cash generated from operations to make the Hopewell Note
payments, for payment of income taxes, for expansion, capital
improvements to existing assets, for working capital or otherwise
is limited.  In addition, the Partnership has obligations under
existing registrations rights agreements.  These rights may be a
deterrent to any future equity financings.  Management continues
to seek acquisition opportunities for the Partnership to expand
its assets and generate additional cash from operations.  As
described above, there is no assurance that Regional will have
sufficient working capital to cover its ongoing cash requirements
or any of the ongoing overhead expenses of the Partnership for the
period of time that management believes is necessary to complete
an acquisition that will provide additional working capital for
the Partnership.  If the Partnership does not have sufficient cash
reserves, its ability to pursue additional acquisition
transactions will be adversely impacted.  Furthermore, despite
significant effort, the Partnership has thus far been unsuccessful
in completing an acquisition transaction.  There can be no
assurance that the Partnership will be able to complete an
accretive acquisition or otherwise find additional sources of
working capital.  If an acquisition transaction cannot be
completed or if additional funds cannot be raised and cash flow is
inadequate, the Partnership and/or Regional would be required to
seek other alternatives which could include the sale of assets,
closure of operations and/or protection under the U.S. bankruptcy
laws," the Company said in the Quarterly Report.

CENVEO INC: S&P Revises 'B-' Rating Outlook to Negative
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its 'B-' rating outlook
on Stamford, Conn.-based diversified printing company Cenveo Inc.
to negative from stable.

Standard & Poor's has reviewed its ratings on Cenveo Inc., which
it labeled as "under criteria observation" (UCO) after the
publishing of its revised Corporate criteria on Nov. 19.  Standard
& Poor's expedited the review of its ratings on Cenveo because of
certain events that arose with the company.  With S&P's criteria
review of Cenveo complete, it has confirmed that its ratings on
this issuer are unaffected by the criteria changes.

"The rating outlook revision reflects the company's weak operating
performance and our expectation for continued pressure on EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 22% year-over-year through the first nine
months of 2013 as a result of competitive pricing.  While the
company has sought to raise prices, the effect on volumes may be
further damaging to revenue and EBITDA.  The company's September
2013 acquisition of assets from competitor National Envelope
Company could stabilize or improve pricing in the envelopes
segment, but the company still faces pricing-related obstacles to
retaining National Envelope's customers.  Despite the weak third-
quarter performance, we are not downgrading the company at this
point since the repricing of its term B loan diminishes the risk
of covenant violations over the near term," S&P said.

Over the next year, S&P expects the company's leverage to remain
high, at above 8x, based on its pension- and lease-adjusted
calculations and interest coverage to remain below 2x.  For these
reasons, S&P considers Cenveo's financial risk profile "highly
leveraged" (based on S&P's criteria).  S&P views the company's
business risk profile as "weak" because of Cenveo's participation
in the highly competitive and cyclical printing markets, in which
S&P expects ongoing pricing pressure from industry overcapacity.
S&P views Cenveo's management and governance as "fair."

A midsize company, Cenveo has a leading niche position in
fragmented segments of the printing market, including direct-mail
envelope manufacturing, specialty-label manufacturing, packaging
printing, and technical journal printing.  Despite this, S&P's
assessment of Cenveo's business profile as weak reflects its
expectation for a continuing migration online of certain forms of
printed media--such as journals and periodicals--and intense
pricing pressure.  Cenveo has been relatively effective at cost
management and realizing acquisition synergies, but, in S&P's
view, faces ongoing revenue and excess capacity pressures.


CHILE MINING: Delays Form 10-Q for Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------
Chile Mining Technologies Inc. was unable to file its Form 10-Q
within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or
expense due to the fact that the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2013, has not been
completed.  The Company anticipates that it will file its Form 10-
Q within the five-day grace period provided by Exchange Act Rule
12b-25.

                         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.
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.

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.

Madsen & Associates CPA's, Inc., in Salt Lake City, Utah, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent

CHOCTAW GENERATION: Fitch Rates $235.3MM Lessor Notes at 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch rates Choctaw Generation Limited Partnership, LLLP's (CGLP)
combined $296.2 million of pari passu lessor notes as follows:

  -- $235.3 million series 1 lessor notes due December 2031 'B',
     Outlook Stable;

  -- $60.9 million series 2 lessor notes due December 2040 'B-',
     Outlook Stable.

Key Rating Drivers:

-- Operations Reliant On Forthcoming Modifications: Owner lessor
    SE Choctaw, LLC (SE Choctaw), a subsidiary of Southern Company
    (Southern; rated 'A' with a Stable Outlook by Fitch), has
    agreed to fund modifications to improve plant performance. The
    operator, also a subsidiary of Southern, is considered capable
    but the facility has yet to establish a track record of stable
    performance and is reliant on successful implementation of
    forthcoming modifications. (Operation Risk: Weaker)

-- Adequate Mine-Mouth Coal Supply: Lignite coal is abundant
    thanks to CGLP's mine-mouth location. The fuel supplier is
    reputable; however, early termination or expiration of the
    supply agreement in 2032 could lead to inadequate fuel cost
    recovery. (Supply Risk: Weaker)

-- Revenue Contract With Strong Counterparty: CGLP has a power
    purchase and operating agreement (PPA) with federally owned
    Tennessee Valley Authority ('AAA'; Negative Watch) through
    mid-2032 for capacity and energy output that generally
    recovers fixed and variable O&M and fuel costs. The series 1
    notes mature four months prior to PPA termination. (Series 1
    Revenue Risk: Midrange)

-- Potential For Significant Merchant Exposure: Under a variety
    of sensitivity scenarios, a significant portion of series 2
    debt would repay after PPA expiration. There is a high level
    of uncertainty regarding CGLP's ability to operate
    economically in a fully merchant environment. (Series 2
    Revenue Risk: Weaker)

-- Debt Structure Lacks Typical Support Features: The debt
    structure provides flexibility to defer repayment but lacks
    typical liquidity support and introduces the potential for
    significant debt repayment from merchant cash flow. Both
    series are senior ranking with fixed-rate interest but lack a
    typical debt service reserve, instead relying on draws from
    other project accounts to fund series 1 payment shortfalls.
    The series 1 notes fully amortize several months prior to PPA
    expiration. The ability to defer series 2 target interest and
    principal payments introduces the risk of a high outstanding
    balance to be repaid after the PPA expires. (Debt Structure:
    Weaker)

Rating Sensitivities:

-- Deviation From Expected Operating Performance: The likelihood
    of repayment of the series 1 notes is highly dependent on
    whether the full benefit of implementation of facility
    modifications is achieved. If the facility displays continuous
    stable operations above Fitch's base case assumptions, the
    series 1 rating could be upgraded. If modifications are
    delayed or do not realize their full intended benefit, or if
    the facility is not able to demonstrate a stable operating
    profile, the series 1 rating could be downgraded.

-- Progress Of Series 2 Repayment: The likelihood of repayment of
    the series 2 notes is highly variable depending on whether or
    not CGLP is meeting its series 2 targeted payments. If the
    targeted payments are being met, such that the projected
    series 2 outstanding balance could be repaid within the
    remaining four months of the PPA term after series 1 matures,
    the series 2 rating could be upgraded. If the projected series
    2 outstanding balance increases or the prospects for the
    facility's ability to operate economically during the fully
    merchant period decline, such that the series 2 debt is not
    expected to repay by final maturity in 2040, the series 2
    notes could be downgraded.

Security:

The lessor notes are senior ranking and pari-passu. The security
interests are typical of project finance transactions and include
all project revenues and accounts, all project agreements (PPA and
supply agreements), as well as the physical assets of CGLP.

Transaction Summary:

In December 2002, SE Choctaw purchased the 440 MW lignite-fired
Red Hills Generation Facility from CGLP. Immediately following the
acquisition, the owner leased the facility back to CGLP under a
45-year lease, expiring Dec. 20, 2047. Lessor notes were issued in
accordance with the lease, but steady declines in performance
prompted a restructuring of the original lessor notes. The lessor
notes were restructured to reduce interest rates, extend the debt
term, and introduce a payment-in-kind feature to series 2 of the
notes. As part of the lease restructuring, the owner lessor agreed
to make approximately $60 million in equity investments to
implement various modifications to improve the performance of the
facility. The restructuring also included a new operator and new
refined coal purchase agreement. Along with the lease
restructuring, the ownership interest in lessee Choctaw was sold
to two indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of PurEnergy I, LLC
(PurEnergy).


CITIZENS NATIONAL: FDIC Discloses Accord With JPMorgan
------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for six
failed banks has announced a $515.4 million settlement with
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates (JPMorgan) of the
receiverships' federal and state securities law claims based on
misrepresentations in the offering documents for 40 residential
mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) purchased by the failed banks.
The settlement funds will be distributed among the receiverships
for the failed Citizens National Bank, Strategic Capital Bank,
Colonial Bank, Guaranty Bank, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company,
and United Western Bank.  As part of the settlement, JPMorgan has
agreed to waive any claims for indemnification from the FDIC in
its corporate capacity or its capacity as Receiver for the failed
Washington Mutual Bank based on any part of JPMorgan's $13 billion
settlement with the United States Department of Justice and other
government entities of claims relating to the sale of RMBS,
including the $515.4 million settlement with the FDIC.

FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said, "The settlement announced
today will provide a significant recovery for the six FDIC
receiverships. It also fully protects the FDIC from
indemnification claims out of this settlement. The FDIC will
continue to pursue litigation where necessary in order to recover
as much as possible for FDIC receiverships, money that is
ultimately returned to the Deposit Insurance Fund, uninsured
depositors and creditors of failed banks."

As receiver for failed financial institutions, the FDIC may sue
professionals and entities whose conduct resulted in losses to
those institutions in order to maximize recoveries. From May 2012
to September 2012, the FDIC as Receiver for five of the failed
banks filed ten lawsuits against JPMorgan, its affiliates, and
other defendants for violations of federal and state securities
laws in connection with the sale of RMBS. As of October 30, 2013,
the FDIC has authorized lawsuits based on the sale of RMBS to a
total of eight failed institutions and has filed 18 lawsuits
seeking damages for violations of federal and state securities
laws.

Citizens National Bank and Strategic Capital Bank were each placed
into receivership on May 22, 2009; Colonial Bank was placed into
receivership on August 14, 2009; Guaranty Bank was placed into
receivership on August 21, 2009; Irwin Union Bank and Trust
Company was placed into receivership on September 18, 2009; and
United Western Bank was placed into receivership on January 21,
2011.

KMJ Corbin & Company LLP, in Costa Mesa, California, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred recurring operating
losses and has had negative cash flows from operations since
inception.  Although the Company has cash and cash equivalents of
$563,104 at March 31, 2013, management has estimated that cash on
hand, which include proceeds from convertible bridge notes
received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, will only be
sufficient to allow the Company to continue its operations into
the second quarter of fiscal 2014.  These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

Cryoport incurred a net loss of $6.38 million for the year ended

"satisfactory" business risk profile, reflecting its
geographically diverse portfolio of generally younger, good
quality properties.  S&P considers the financial risk profile to
be "significant" based on improving, but still elevated leverage
metrics relative to most peers.  S&P is also assigning a recovery
rating of '2' to this debt, indicating its expectation for
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.  Due to the prospects for substantial recovery, S&P
notches the rating on the senior unsecured notes above the
corporate credit rating.

Standard & Poor's has reviewed its ratings on DDR Corp., which it
labeled as "under criteria observation" (UCO) after the publishing
of its revised Corporate criteria on Nov. 19.  Standard & Poor's

DETROIT, MI: Objects to Retiree Committee's Retention of Lazard
---------------------------------------------------------------
The City of Detroit, Michigan objects to the application of the
Official Committee of Retirees for authorization to retain Lazard
Freres & Co., LLC, as financial advisor to the Retiree Committee.

According to papers filed with the Court, the City does not object
per se to the Retiree Committee's retention of Lazard as financial
advisor.  In fact, in connection with the formation of the
Committee, the City agreed that the Committee could retain a
financial advisor and that the City would pay for reasonable
compensation of the Committee's financial advisor.

The City, however, takes issue with several provisions of the
Application, including:

  * Transaction Fee. The City does not agree to pay the
transaction fee contemplated by Section III.B of the Engagement
Letter.  The City believes that payment of a monthly fee to
Lazard (proposed in the Engagement Letter to be $175,000) is
sufficient to compensate Lazard for its services in connection
with the City's Chapter 9 case.  Neither in the parties'
discussions nor in the Fee Review Order is there a suggestion that
the City has agreed to use taxpayer money to pay a transaction or
success fee to Lazard on top of its monthly fees for services
provided.

  * Monthly Fee. The City believes that Lazard's monthly fee
should be pro-rated in instances where Lazard does not
provide a full month of services.

  * Fee Applications. The Application and the Proposed Order
provide that Lazard will file interim and final fee applications
for review and approval of the Court.  However, the fee
application process is not applicable in this Chapter 9 case.
Rather, the review and payment of Lazard's compensation in
this Chapter 9 case are subject to the procedures established in
the Fee Review Order.  Thus, any order granting the Application
should not include references to the filing of fee applications
and should make clear that the payment of Lazard's compensation
and the reimbursement of its expenses are subject to the process
set forth in the Fee Review Order.

  * Expenses and Limitation of Liability. The Engagement Letter
contains reimbursement provisions and limitation of liability
protections to which the City does not and cannot agree.  The City
has agreed to fund certain professionals of the Committee as set
forth in the Fee Review Order, but has not agreed to reimburse
Lazard for any legal fees or expenses of its counsel.  Likewise
the City has not agreed to limit Lazard's liability in connection
with the engagement.  The City cannot be required to agree to such
provisions.

EPAZZ INC: Delays Form 10-Q for Third Quarter
---------------------------------------------
Epazz, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with
respect to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2013.  The Company has been unable to complete its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the said quarter within the
prescribed time because of delays in completing the preparation of
its financial statements and its management discussion and
analysis.  Therefore, the Company requires additional time in
order to prepare and file its Form 10-Q.

                        About EPAZZ Inc.

Chicago, Ill.-based EPAZZ, Inc., was incorporated in the State of
Illinois on March 23, 2000, to create software to help college
students organize their college information and resources.  The
idea behind the Company was that if the information and resources
provided by colleges and universities was better organized and
targeted toward each individual, the students would encounter a
personal experience with the college or university that could lead
to a lifetime relationship with the institution.  This concept is
already used by business software designed to retain relationships
with clients, employees, vendors and partners.

Epazz incurred a net loss of $1.90 million on $1.19 million of
revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as compared with a net
loss of $336,862 on $735,972 of revenue for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $1.29
million in total assets, $1.87 million in total liabilities and a
$585,790 total stockholders' deficit.

M&K CPAS, PLLC, 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 an accumulated deficit of $(4,114,756) and a
working capital deficit of $(681,561), which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

                        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," according to the Company's annual report for the
period ended Dec. 31, 2012.


EQUITABLE LIFE: A.M. Best Affirms 'B' Fin. Strength Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has removed from under review with developing
implications and affirmed the financial strength rating of B
(Fair) and issuer credit rating of "bb+" of Equitable Life &
Casualty Insurance Company (Equitable Life & Casualty) (Salt Lake
City, UT).  The outlook assigned to both ratings is stable.

The ratings for Equitable Life & Casualty were previously placed
under review with developing implications following A.M. Best's
discussions with the company's new management team and based on
disclosures in its first-quarter 2013 statutory filing that
indicated Chris McDaniel was appointed president and that majority
shareholder, E. Rod Ross, entered into an agreement to sell his
shares of the company to Mr. McDaniel.  However, in November 2013,
the sales agreement was withdrawn.

The rating affirmations reflect Equitable Life & Casualty's
current negotiation of a reinsurance transaction to bolster its
relatively modest risk-adjusted capital position.  Through
September 2013, the company reported a $1.7 million net loss as
well as an associated deterioration in its absolute and risk-
adjusted capital levels due in part to the strengthening of its
long-term care reserves.

The rating affirmations also reflect business improvement actions
implemented in 2013 by Equitable Life's new management team.
These actions include managing the challenging closed long-term
care block via multiple initiatives; entering new reinsurance
treaties, which reinsure the vast majority of the company's
Medicare supplement and final expense businesses; reducing
expenses; and generating new sources of non-risk administrative
revenue.

Although the outlook on Equitable Life & Casualty's ratings is
stable, negative rating actions could occur if the reinsurance
transaction, which is currently under negotiation, does not
materialize and result in improved capitalization.  Alternatively,
positive rating actions could occur if the company significantly
grows its risk-adjusted capital and surplus level while increasing
profitability and successfully managing its run-off long-term care
business.


EVERTEC INC: Bank Debt Trades at 3% Off
---------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Evertec Inc. is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 97.35 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, Nov. 22, 2013, according to
data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.25
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
Evertec Inc. pays 275 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on April 4, 2020, and carries
Moody's B1 rating and Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The loan is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among 205 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22, 2013,
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to EVERTEC Group,
LLC's proposed Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Moody's also
placed the B2 corporate family and B2-PD Probability of Default
ratings under review for upgrade, based on EVERTEC's plan for a
primary issuance of shares through an Initial Public Offering.


EWGS INTERMEDIARY: Judge Sets Dec. 3 Auction
--------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
Edwin Watts Golf Shops LLC plans to hold a Dec. 3 auction for its
91 stores, which have struggled to compete against big-box
competitors for the smaller pool money that customers have been
willing to spend on golf merchandise since the economic recession.

                     About EWGS Intermediary

represented by Domenic E. Pacitti, Esq., and Michael W. Yurkewicz,
Esq., at Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware.  The Debtors tapped Bayshore Partners LLC as their

FAIRMONT GENERAL: Koenig Appointed as Patient Care Ombudsman
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West
Virginia approved the appointment of:

         Suzanne Koenig
         SAK Management Services, LLC
         One Northfield Plaza, Suite 480
         Northfield, IL 60093
         Tel: (847) 446-8400

as the patient care ombudsman in the Chapter 11 cases of Fairmont
General Hospital, et al.

On Nov. 13, 2013, the Court directed Judy A. Robbins, U.S. Trustee
for Region 4, to appoint a patient care ombudsman.

The ombudsman will, among other things:

   1) monitor the quality of patient care provided to patients of
the Debtor, to the extent necessary under the circumstances,
including interviewing patients and physicians;

   2) not later than 60 days after the date of appointment, and
not less frequently than at 60-day intervals thereafter, report to
the court after notice to the parties in interest, at a hearing or
in writing, regarding the quality of patient care provided to
patients of the debtor; and

   3) if such ombudsman determines that the quality of patient
care provided to patients of the debtor is declining significantly
or is otherwise being materially compromised, file with the court
a motion or a written report, with notice to the parties in
interest immediately upon making such determination.

                      The Debtors' Objection

The Debtors previously moved the Court to find that a patient care
ombudsman is not necessary in the cases and to dispense with the
appointment of a patient care ombudsman.  The U.S. Trustee
objected to the motion, and requested that the Court find that an
ombudsman is necessary and order the appointment of an ombudsman.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE: A.M. Best Affirms 'B' Finc'l. Strength Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of
B (Fair) and issuer credit ratings (ICR) of "bb+" of the
subsidiaries of First Acceptance Corporation (First Acceptance)
(Delaware) [NYSE: FAC].  Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the
ICR of "b" of First Acceptance. The outlook for all ratings is
stable.

The ratings of First Acceptance are based upon below average
earnings; concentration of risk in private passenger non-standard
auto lines; and weakened economic conditions compounded by
investment earnings challenges due to the low interest rate
environment.  These negative rating factors are offset in part by
First Acceptance's supportive risk-adjusted capitalization and
sound balance sheet liquidity, geographic spread of underwriting
risk, along with favorable earnings over the last 15 months.

The company's generally unfavorable earnings performance has
mainly been driven by underwriting losses, which increased between
2009 and 2012, while investment income was decreasing during the
same period.  Underwriting losses in recent years were negatively
impacted by increased claims severity, storm losses and higher
expenses, as well as declining revenue from premium writings.
Premium volume and additional fees charged to policyholders were
down due to declining production and the weakened economy.  The
company's investment income was lower from reductions in invested
assets and low interest rates.

First Acceptance's underwriting risk is concentrated in private
passenger non-standard auto lines, subject to higher risk of loss
and competitive market conditions.  However, capitalization
remains supportive of the ratings and underwriting risk is spread
across several Southern and Southeastern states.  In addition,
earnings have been favorable since July 1, 2012, as a result of
earnings initiatives taking hold.  These initiatives include
raising rates, closing under-performing retail stores, improving
claims handling and underwriting, investing in enhancing the sales
experience in its retail stores and through the internet and a
dedicated call center.

First Acceptance's ratings may be further stabilized by a
continuance of the current positive earnings and capital
appreciation.  However, the outlook may be revised to negative
and/or the ratings downgraded by weakening in the company's risk-
adjusted capitalization or an unprofitable earnings trend.

The ICR of First Acceptance is based on the consolidated financial
strength of its insurance subsidiaries; its acceptable level of
financial leverage from debt; its ability to fund the debt without
having to take extraordinary dividends out of the insurance
companies; and the subordination of the holding company's
creditors to the insurance companies' policyholders.

The FSR of B (Fair) and ICRs of "bb+" have been affirmed for the
following pooled subsidiaries of First Acceptance Corporation:

* First Acceptance Insurance Company, Inc.
* First Acceptance Insurance Company of Georgia, Inc.
* First Acceptance Insurance Company of Tennessee, Inc.


FISKER AUTO: Files for Bankruptcy, Hybrid Buys Defaulted Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Ramsey, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Hybrid Technology LLC has agreed to buy Fisker Automotive Inc.'s
defaulted federal loan as part of its effort to buy the company,
while Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as part of
the deal.

According to the report, the Energy Department said that of the
$192 million owed to the government by Fisker, it has recovered
$53 million, leaving $139 million unpaid, the department said.

The Energy Department in October launched an auction of Fisker's
loan, which had a $168 million unpaid balance, the report related.
The department didn't disclose how much Hybrid Technology paid to
acquire the loan.

Fisker built $109,000 plug-in hybrid sports cars, but the company
stopped producing vehicles in July 2012 and effectively ceased
operations earlier this year, the report said.  The Anaheim,
Calif.-based company filed for bankruptcy in Wilmington, Del.

"This purchase marks the first step toward an acquisition of
Fisker's assets by an affiliate of HT that will eventually lead to
the restarting of production and distribution of the Karma sedan,
as well as the development and production of future advanced
hybrid electric vehicles," Hybrid Technology said in a statement,
the report further related.


FLORIDA GAMING: Seeks to Keep Grip on Bankruptcy Case
-----------------------------------------------------
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for DBR Small Cap, reported that
Florida Gaming Centers Inc. is seeking to retain sole control of
Miami Jai-Alai's Chapter 11 case as it moves to sell the historic
South Florida sporting venue and casino at a bankruptcy auction
next year.

                        About Florida Gaming

Florida Gaming Centers Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 13-29597) in Miami on Aug. 19, 2013.
Florida Gaming Centers operates a casino and jai-alai frontons in
Miami.  The Company disclosed debt of $138.3 million and assets of
$180 million in its petition.

Its parent, Florida Gaming Corp. (FGMG:US), and two other
affiliates also sought court protection.

Florida Gaming previously negotiated a sale of virtually all its
assets to casino operator Silvermark LLC for $115 million in cash
and $14 million in assumed liabilities.  A provision in the
financing agreement required Florida Gaming to make an additional
payment to the lender -- ABC Funding -- if the assets are sold to
third party.  Jefferies LLC was hired to determine that amount,
about $26.8 million, and valued the company at more than $180
million.

FOOTHILL/EASTERN TRANSPORTATION: Moody's Rates 2nd Lien Bonds Ba1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigns a Ba1 to the second senior lien
Series 2013A and 2013B bonds and a Ba1 to the junior lien Series
2013C bonds of the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency
(F/ETCA or agency). Moody's also downgrades to Ba1 from Baa3 the
rating on the outstanding bonds, including the senior series 1995
bonds, which are not being refunded. The rating outlook is stable.

Rating Rationale:

The Ba1 rating and stable outlook for all the liens reflects the
agency's high debt load, long period of traffic under-performance
relative to the 1999 financing forecast and a refinancing plan
that extends the final maturity by 13 years, defers substantial
principal into future years, and has a negative net present value
of approximately $65 million. These factors are balanced against
the stabilization of traffic in recent months, the agency's track
record of increasing rates to offset traffic declines and
substantial liquidity.

Outlook:

The stable rating outlook at the Ba1 level is based on traffic
growth in recent months and increased revenue through toll
increases, maintenance of ample current unrestricted liquidity and
dedicated reserves, and Moody's expectation that traffic and
revenue will recover in tandem with the economic recovery in
Orange County. The stable outlook also acknowledges that traffic
growth is ahead of the 2013 forecast, though it remains below the
1999 financing forecast. The road will require growth to meet an
escalating debt service requirement. Moody's expects that the
restructuring will enable the agency to meet debt service
requirements and the 1.3 times rate covenant primarily with net
revenues, though FYs 2014 to 2018 include a mechanism for
contingent transfers from dedicated reserves.

What Could Change the Rating - Up:

Upside potential for the rating would be closely correlated with
accelerated development in the corridor that generates
consistently higher than forecasted growth in traffic and
revenues, as well as higher DSCRs from net operating revenues.
More clarity regarding the development of a feasible plan of
finance for Foothill South, without an adverse impact on F/ETCA's
financial operations also could exert positive credit pressure.

What Could Change the Rating - Down:

The agency's credit rating would be negatively pressured by lower
than forecasted traffic and revenue due to slower than currently
forecasted traffic and revenue growth or failure to implement rate
increases as needed to provide the minimum covenanted 1.3 times
DSCR for senior and 1.15 times for aggregate debt service without
use of reserves. The rating also could be pressured by risks
related to substantial additional borrowing for and construction
of the Foothill-South extension.

Strengths:

- Independent toll raising ability and above average service area
   socio-economic indicators

- A record of toll increases almost annually in recent years

- Ample liquidity levels and cash-funded DSRFs

- No current construction risk or ramp up risk, although this
   will change if the Foothill South project is undertaken

- Some debt service smoothing and expenditure relief with this
   refunding

Challenges:

- Annual debt service continues to escalate post-refunding and
   repayment relies on higher than historic traffic and revenue
   growth and annual toll rate increases

- Toll rates are currently among the highest for US toll roads

- Construction of the Foothill South project could pressure
   agency finances in the long-term, depending on the ultimate
   construction cost and financial feasibility of that project

- The mitigation agreement with the SJHTCA, including, upon
   satisfaction of certain findings, a potential loan of up to
   $1.04 billion, may impact the agency's ability to accumulate
   cash, though recent SJHTCA indenture amendments and debt
   restructuring make this unlikely


FRESH & EASY: Yucaipa to Take Over 150 Stores
---------------------------------------------
Peg Brickley, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Cos. won court approval on Nov. 22 to take
over about 150 Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market stores, salvaging
most of Tesco PLC's U.S. grocery-chain venture.

According to the report, Judge Kevin Carey signed off on the deal,
which is being financed by the British retailer with a
$120 million loan, part of an agreement struck before Tesco put
Fresh & Easy under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Yucaipa is projecting the relaunched Fresh & Easy will "likely
achieve positive Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization] of tens of millions of dollars," an
attorney for Yucaipa told Judge Carey at a hearing in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., the report related.

Yucaipa tapped James Keyes, former chief executive of 7-Eleven
Inc., to come up with a winning strategy for Fresh & Easy and
negotiate the deal with Tesco, the report said.  His solution is
to deliver "healthy, high-quality product at an affordable price."

Fresh & Easy creditors backed the deal, which allows Yucaipa to
walk away with the working capital, because it means a much
lighter load of debt to be resolved in bankruptcy, the report
further related.

                       About Fresh & Easy

Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Inc., and its affiliate filed
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 13-12569 and
13-12570) on Sept. 30, 2013.  The petitions were signed by James
Dibbo, chief financial officer.  Judge Kevin J. Carey presides
over the case.

Fresh & Easy owes $738 million to Cheshunt, England-based Tesco,
the U.K.'s biggest retailer. Fresh & Easy never made a profit and
lost an average of $22 million a month in the 12 months ended in
February, according to court papers.

GERALD CHAMPION: S&P Affirms 'B+' Rating on $71MM 2012A Bonds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' long-term
rating on Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center (GCRMC), N.M.'s
$71 million series 2012A bonds and removed the rating from
CreditWatch with negative implications.  At the same time,
Standard & Poor's assigned a negative outlook to the rating.

"The affirmed 'B+' rating is based on our view of GCRMC's group
credit profile and the obligated entity's core status," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Karl Propst.  "The negative
outlook reflects our view of the medical center's worse-than-
budgeted operating loss year-to-date through Sept. 30 and the
potential negative effect on debt service coverage, as well as the
deterioration of unrestricted reserves, which, while technically
still currently compliant with bond covenants, could lead to a
covenant breach if unrestricted reserves do not materially improve
by the next measurement date," continued Mr. Propst.

On June 27, 2013, S&P placed the rating on CreditWatch with
negative implications pending collection of accounts receivable
and the receipt of sole community provider funds that were needed
for the medical center to avoid a violation of its minimum days'
cash covenant, and due to its below 1.1x minimum debt service
coverage ratio, which would lead to an event of default under the

net income of $633,000 on $30.27 million of revenues for the three

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $65.88

                        About Hallwood Group

Dallas, Texas-based The Hallwood Group Incorporated (NYSE MKT:
HWG) operates as a holding company.  The Company operates its
principal business in the textile products industry through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Brookwood Companies Incorporated.

Brookwood is an integrated textile firm that develops and produces
innovative fabrics and related products through specialized
finishing, treating and coating processes.

Prior to October 2009, The Hallwood Group Incorporated held an
investment in Hallwood Energy, L.P. ("Hallwood Energy").  Hallwood
Energy was a privately held independent oil and gas limited
partnership and operated as an upstream energy company engaged in
the acquisition, development, exploration, production, and sale of
hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets.  The
Company accounted for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the
equity method of accounting.  Hallwood Energy filed for bankruptcy
in March 2009.  In connection with the confirmation of Hallwood
Energy's bankruptcy in October 2009, the Company's ownership
interest in Hallwood Energy was extinguished and the Company no
longer accounts for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the
equity method of accounting.

Hallwood Group incurred a net loss of $17.94 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $6.33 million in 2011.  The Company's
balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $70.82 million in total
assets, $30.97 million in total liabilities and $39.85 million in
total stockholders' equity.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Dallas, 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 is dependent on its subsidiary to receive the cash
necessary to fund its ongoing operations and obligations.  It is
uncertain whether the subsidiary will be able to make payment of
dividends to its fund ongoing operations.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.


HOWELL TOWNSHIP: Fitch Affirms B Rating on $125MM LTGO Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirms the following ratings for Howell Township,
Michigan:

-- $125,000 limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds series
    2004 at 'B';

-- Implied unlimited tax general obligation bonds (ULTGO) at
    'B+'.

The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Negative.

Security:

The bonds are secured by the township's full faith and credit
general obligation, subject to applicable constitutional,
statutory, and charter limitations. Debt service on LTGO bonds has
historically been paid from revenues from the waste water
treatment plant that the bonds were issued to construct.

Key Rating Drivers:

POSSIBLE 2015 RESERVE DEPLETION: Management projects that debt
service payments for the special assessment bonds could deplete
available water/sewer (w/s) fund reserves in May 2014 and general
fund reserves in May 2015. Fitch believes the projection is
conservative based on recent collection experience.

General Fund Liquidity Adequate: The general fund made a loan to
the w/s fund to pay debt service in 2011. The loan remains
outstanding, and revenue raising opportunities are limited.
Nonetheless, the general fund has maintained a consistent cash
position due to expenditure reductions and careful cost
containment practices.

Rate Increases Have Not Restored Stability: The township has
raised utility rates and introduced a debt service fee for the w/s
fund. However, these increases have been insufficient to allow the
w/s fund to fully support LTGO bonds, as was intended. Repayment
is therefore expected to become partly reliant on general fund
support.

Taxable Value Declines: Declines in taxable value (TV) of the
township's limited tax base are a concern as property tax revenue
is approximately 43% of general fund revenues. Recent development
activity indicates valuation may increase in 2014.

Revenue Raising Options Limited: The one-notch distinction between
the implied ULTGO rating and the LTGO rating reflects the limited
level of overall financial flexibility given that the township's
revenue raising options are restricted.

Rating Sensitivities:

The rating is sensitive to shifts in fundamental credit
characteristics including the township's ability to maintain
adequate liquidity. The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's
expectation that such shifts are highly unlikely at the current
rating level. The Fitch rated bonds mature May 1, 2014.

Credit Profile:

W/S Operations Remain Unstable:

The township issued its special assessment bonds to provide
financing for w/s infrastructure in anticipation of housing
developments. These developments were canceled due to the 2007-
2008 recession. Subsequent significant shortfalls in special
assessment revenues have pressured the township's finances,
necessitating extensive revenue and expenditure adjustments. As an
interim step, the general fund loaned the w/s fund $1.4 million to
cover debt service and expenditures in fiscal 2011, approximately
$900,000 of which is outstanding. There is no set repayment
schedule, although the loan is included as a receivable on the
general fund balance sheet.

In fiscal 2012, utility rates increased (the sewer rate doubled
while the water rate increased 30%) and the township instated a
debt service fee. While the increases generate additional revenue,
with August and November 2012 millage failures, the fund remains
unable to repay the general fund loan and dependent on further
support. Management does not anticipate placing another millage
before voters. With 82% of voters voting against the measure in
November 2012, Fitch expects that there will be little support for
additional millages.

Budget-basis w/s fund performance for 2013 indicates a $588,504
surplus before depreciation and general fund transfers. The
township does not anticipate that the w/s fund will borrow from
the general fund in fiscal 2014, instead planning to use remaining
enterprise cash to make debt service payments.

Management Projects May 2015 Depletion of Reserves:

Budget projections through fiscal 2014 indicate that w/s reserves,
which are being used for debt service payments, will be exhausted
after its May 2014 bond payment. Thereafter, the township will
likely need to rely more heavily on general fund support. Current
projections using historical average revenues show, and Fitch cash
flow projections concur, that general fund cash will be exhausted
with the township's May 2015 bond payment without significant
revenue infusions.

Township Options Limited:

With the failure of millages in 2012, Fitch believes the
township's options have become increasingly limited. Fitch
believes that outside management such as a state emergency
financial manager may be key to averting a payment default in May
2015. The township could utilize the financial emergency law -
Local Fiscal Stability and Choice Act Process Public Act 436 of
2012 (PA 436) which includes provisions for an emergency manager
and/or bankruptcy process. The township does not anticipate using
the financial emergency law based on improving cash flows.

The township is proceeding with the sale of various tax lien
properties associated with canceled developments to fully offset
bond payments the township has already made, recoup other fees and
penalties, and provide special assessment payments for the life of
the bonds. While such sales could help considerably with the
township's ability to repay special assessment debt, Fitch
believes that this scenario is subject to considerable execution
risk and is not a factor in the township's current rating.

Debt Service Burden Dwarfs Positive General Fund Operations:

The magnitude of the township's debt service shortfall dwarfs
general fund operations. Debt service in fiscal 2012 was $2.5
million or 315% of general fund expenditures. The township has
maintained large general fund balances relative to its very small
budget in the past five years and reports similar results in
fiscal 2013. Ending unrestricted general fund balance was $2.8
million or 340% of expenditures.

Budget-basis results for fiscal year (FY) 2013 indicate a surplus
of $336,000, similar to the fiscal 2012 surplus, and a
commensurate increase to fund balance. Fitch discounts much of the
fund balance as it includes a $1.1 million receivable from the
utility funds which Fitch does not expect to be repaid before the
general fund balance is needed for debt service. Without this, the
fund balance of slightly more than $1 million would cover only 38%
of annual debt service.

The township reported approximately $1 million in general fund
cash at June 30, 2013. This provides a small cushion for any
unexpected revenue shortfalls or spending needs. However, drastic
expenditure reductions in the general fund have left little room
for further cuts and revenue raising opportunities are limited.

The township's fiscal 2014 budget does not include use of general
fund balance and otherwise continues limited operations.
Management reports revenues and expenditures in all funds are
outperforming budget for the first three months of the fiscal
year.

Increases in General Fund Revenue Uncertain:

Taxable values (TV) in the township saw sharp declines in recent
years with the largest decline of 12% occurring in fiscal 2011.
2012 TV declined 1.5%, below the 5%-7% declines projected by the
county assessor and well below the 15% decline budgeted by the
township. The township is already levying the maximum operating
millage under the Headlee amendment, so management cannot offset
TV declines with a rate adjustment to avoid a drop in property tax
revenue. The township's tax base is very small, magnifying
concerns about the potential volatility of property tax revenue.
Modest recent development activity may lead to small positive
valuation growth in 2014.

Declines in state funding fiscal 2009 and 2010 were reversed with
a large increase in 2011 and another increase in 2012. As the
state economy begins to recover it is likely that the township
will see small increases in constitutionally determined state
shared revenue as well. The township gets no statutory state
shared revenue.

Limited Local Economy Show Signs of Improvements:

Howell Township is a small community of approximately 6,000
residents across 39 square miles located between Lansing and
Detroit. Township employment data is unavailable; unemployment in
Livingston County was 7.4 in July 2013, below the state rate of
9.7% and on par with the national rate.

The unemployment rate in the county has declined approximately 15%
from the same month last year, with minimal labor force declines
indicating the possible beginnings of a recovery. Expansions at
Magna International (automotive supplier) and BD Electrical Inc.
combined with the relocation of Michigan Automatic Turning Inc.
(transmission shaft and gear manufacturer for off-highway
equipment), formerly AA Gear, to the township will provide for
additional job growth in the area.

High Debt Burden, Manageable Pension Obligations:

The township's overall debt burden is high at $4,527 per capita
and 10% of market value (including special assessment bonds).
Principal amortization is above average, with 78% of the total
outstanding retired within 10 years. Pensions for township
employees are provided through a township run single employer
defined contribution plan. The fiscal 2012 contribution was
moderate at 7% of general fund expenditures. The township does not
provide other post-employment benefits. Overall debt carrying
costs are very high at 236% of governmental spending given that
debt is related to enterprise funds. Net enterprise revenues
covered debt service at a weak 0.83x for 2012.

INTELSAT S.A.: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed its 'B'
corporate credit rating and all other ratings on Luxembourg-based
FSS provider Intelsat S.A. on CreditWatch with positive
implications.  S&P has removed the ratings from "under criteria
observation" (UCO).

"The positive CreditWatch listing primarily reflects our
reassessment of the importance of earnings volatility and absolute
profitability in Intelsat's business risk profile," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Michael Altberg.

S&P views the company as having low earnings volatility and above
average profitability compared to most telecom and cable
companies.  This is a result of its strong revenue backlog and
high adjusted EBITDA margin, in the high-70% area.  Intelsat's
revenue backlog, as of Sept. 30, 2013, was $10.3 billion, or
roughly 4x annualized revenues.  Moreover, the company's cash
flows are fairly predictable because the large majority of
operating costs are fixed and modest following a satellite launch.
S&P expects lease-adjusted leverage will remain in the mid-to-
high-7x area over the next few years on muted revenue and EBITDA
growth due to a lack of material satellite launches.  However,
free operating cash flow will benefit from reduced interest
expense from recent refinancing actions, customer prepayments, and
reduced capital spending.

The CreditWatch listing reflects the potential for a one-notch
upgrade of the company, to 'B+' from 'B'.  S&P would also expect
that all issue-level ratings, including the 'BB-' issue-level
rating on the company's senior secured debt at Intelsat Jackson
Holdings S.A., would be raised by one notch.  S&P expects to
resolve the CreditWatch listing within a month.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL: Judge Approves Bankruptcy-Restructuring Plan
------------------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that a
bankruptcy judge cleared Jefferson County, Ala., to exit Chapter 9
protection with a plan that cuts its $3.1 billion sewer debt
nearly in half but places a heavy repayment burden on residents
for decades to come.

According to the report, at a hearing on Nov. 21 in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Birmingham, Ala., Judge Thomas Bennett said he
would confirm the county's bankruptcy-exit plan, which lays out a
sewer bond-repayment strategy and the difficult cost-cutting
measures that elected leaders have taken on since putting the
658,000-resident county under Chapter 9 protection two years ago.

The plan was crafted around about $1.4 billion worth of bond
breaks that county officials negotiated with bondholders, who
began extending money to the county in 1997 for construction
projects to stop sewage from flowing into local rivers, the report
related.

Judge Bennett's confirmation, the last major step in the
bankruptcy process, was granted after about 14 hours of courtroom
arguments, mostly from two activist lawyers who questioned whether
the county can afford the $1.7 billion in sewer debt that still
remains, the report said.

Jefferson County is scheduled to repay its new sewer debt over 40
years for a total cost of about $6.7 billion, with the biggest
payments to bondholders coming as the repayment period ends in
2053, the report further related.

                     About Jefferson County

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss
of $3.84 million on $13.35 million of revenue for the three months
ended Sept. 30, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $6.59 million

MERITAGE HOMES: S&P Retains 'B+' CCR After $100MM Add-On
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that Scottsdale, Ariz.-
based Meritage Homes Corp.'s proposed $100 million add-on to the
existing $200 million in 7.15% senior unsecured notes due 2020
will not affect its 'B+' corporate credit and senior unsecured
note ratings on the company.  The recovery rating remains at '3',
indicating S&P's expectations for a meaningful (50% to 70%)
recovery in the event of default.  In addition to the add-on
issuance, the company also proposes to increase its currently
undrawn revolving credit facility from $135 million to
$200 million which will strengthen its liquidity position.

S&P's rating on Meritage is based on its assessment of a "fair"
business risk profile, reflecting its strengthening position
within 12 of the top 20 U.S. markets for homebuilding.  The
"aggressive" financial risk profile reflects EBITDA-based credit
metrics that have improved over the past year and S&P's
expectation that it will continue to improve into the 4.0x to 4.5x
total debt to EBITDA range by year-end 2014, reflecting better
absorption and overall volume as a result of a recovering housing
market.  Proceeds from the add-on issuance plus the increased
revolver commitment will further bolster the company's liquidity
for 2014 working capital needs.  Besides the currently undrawn
revolving credit facility which matures in July 2016), there are
no debt maturities until 2018.

Standard & Poor's has reviewed its ratings on Meritage Homes
Corp., which it labeled as "under criteria observation" (UCO)
after the publishing of its revised Corporate criteria on Nov. 19.
Standard & Poor's expedited the review of its ratings on Meritage
Homes because of the company's announced debt issue.  With S&P's
criteria review of Meritage Homes complete, it has confirmed that
its ratings on this issuer are unaffected by the criteria changes.

NATIONAL CONTRACTORS: A.M. Best Cuts Fin'l. Strength Rating to B-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has downgraded the financial strength rating to B-
(Fair) from B (Fair) and issuer credit rating to "bb-" from "bb"
of National Contractors Insurance Company, Inc., A RRG (NCIC)
(Bigfork, MT).  The outlook for both ratings is negative.
Concurrently, A.M. Best has withdrawn the ratings as the company
has requested to no longer participate in A.M. Best's interactive
rating process.

The rating actions reflect NCIC's erosion in policyholders'
surplus and risk-adjusted capitalization through the third quarter
of 2013.  The surplus decline is attributable to a single claim,
which fell outside of NCIC's reinsurance program.  Although the
company expects the claim to be resolved in its favor, the effect
of a single large claim on NCIC's capitalization reflects the
vulnerability of its overall financial position.


NATIONAL SECURITY: A.M. Best Affirms 'B++' Fin. Strength Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating of (FSR)
of B++ (Good) and the issuer credit rating (ICR) of "bbb" of
National Security Fire and Casualty Company (NSFC).  The outlook
for both ratings is negative.

In addition, A.M. Best has affirmed the FSRs of B+ (Good) and ICRs
of "bbb-" of NSFC's wholly owned subsidiary, Omega One Insurance
Company, Inc. (Omega), and National Security Insurance Company
(NSIC), an affiliated life insurer.  The outlook for these ratings
is stable.

Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the ICR of "bb" of the parent
holding company, The National Security Group, Inc. (NSGI)
(Wilmington, DE) [NASDAQ: NSEC].  The outlook for this rating is
negative.  All companies are domiciled in Elba, AL, unless
otherwise specified.

The ratings of NSFC reflect its supportive risk-adjusted
capitalization, sound balance sheet liquidity, generally positive
earnings and the actions being taken to reduce its exposure to
catastrophic loss and improve earnings. Partially offsetting these
favorable rating factors are the weakening in NSFC's
capitalization and its below average profitability over the last
five years.  In addition, NSFC's underwriting risk is concentrated
in non-standard property lines, and its surplus has an above
average exposure to loss from catastrophic weather events in the
southern and southeastern United States.  Although earnings have
improved in recent years, underwriting remains unprofitable
primarily due to the adverse effect of losses from catastrophic
weather-related events.  The outlook remains negative pending
strengthening in NSFC's capitalization and continued underwriting
improvement.

The ratings of Omega acknowledge its strong capitalization and
voluntary run-off status as it winds down its operations after
terminating its non-standard auto and property insurance programs.
The ratings of NSFC and Omega may be downgraded if earnings and
capitalization fall below projections for 2014.  However, the
ratings would be stabilized by a trend of underwriting and overall
earnings improvement that leads to stronger capitalization.

The affirmation of NSIC's ratings reflects A.M. Best's continued
belief that its financial resources will not be materially
impacted as it supports the overall expense and debt obligations
of NSGI.  The ratings also recognize NSIC's solid stand-alone
risk-adjusted capitalization, modest capital growth, slightly
favorable net operating performance trends and its multiple
distribution channel strategy.

Offsetting these positive rating factors are NSIC's limited
geographic profile and the challenges it faces to manage its
modest levels of capital, sustain and improve its overall net
operating trends and reverse declining levels of net premium.

A.M. Best believes NSIC is well positioned at its current rating
level.  Future positive rating actions could occur from positive
movement in NSGI's rating.  Key rating factors that could lead to
negative rating actions include a sustained decline in NSIC's
risk-adjusted capitalization -- as measured by Best's Capital
Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) model -- that no longer supports the current
rating; overall net operating performance that does not meet A.M.
Best's expectations; a material shift in its business profile
skewed more heavily toward less creditworthy lines of business; or
negative rating actions taken on NSGI or NSFC.

The rating of NSGI is based on the consolidated financial strength
of its subsidiaries, which is driven mainly by the property/
casualty companies, its acceptable level of debt and the
subordination of the holding company's creditors to the insurance
companies' policyholders.

requested that the Court delay the sale of the Debtor's assets for
a minimum of 30 days or Dec. 16, to permit the Committee to
properly investigate the sale of its assets.

intellectual property assets.  TriplePoint Capital LLC and Khosla
Ventures IV LP will serve as guarantor.

permits, certain contracts, interest in real property, claims and
causes of action under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, certain
personal property, and rights to the name "Nirvanix".

Acme has offered to pay $2.8 million in cash, without interest,
and assumed certain of the Debtor's liabilities.  In the event,
the Debtor sells the IP assets to another buyer with a higher
offer, the Debtor will pay Acme a $150,000 breakup fee and
reimburse Acme's expenses not to exceed the lesser of $150,000 and
its reasonable out-of-pocket documented expenses.

OSX BRASIL: Anticipates Missing Bond Interest Payment Due Dec. 20
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Luciana Magalhaes, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Brazilian shipbuilder OSX Brasil SA, controlled by Eike
Batista, said in a letter to trustees for its bondholders that it
expects it will miss interest payments due Dec. 20 on $500 million
in outstanding bonds.

According to the report, the letter was sent to Norsk Tillitsmann
ASA, the Norwegian trustee for the bondholders.  The bonds were
issued by OSX3 Leasing BV in 2012.  The letter was released by
Norsk Tillitsmann ASA on Nov. 21.

In September, OSX managed to pay $11.6 million in interest to
holders of its bonds, due in 2015 and carrying a 9.25% coupon
rate, the report said.

OSX had to halt a planned expansion after Mr. Batista's flagship
oil company OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes decided to stop
development of most of its oil fields after saying they weren't
economically viable, the report related.  OGX was OSX's main
client.

Both OGX and OSX have filed for bankruptcy protection in a Rio de
Janeiro civil court, in a process similar to a U.S. Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceeding, the report further related.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Nov. 12, 2013, The Wall Street Journal said OSX Brasil SA filed
for bankruptcy protection, the second such filing for a
commodities empire that crumbled this year as losses piled up and
investor confidence plummeted.  The move on Nov. 11 at a Rio de
Janeiro court follows a default and bankruptcy filing last month
for Mr. Batista's flagship oil firm OGX Petroleo e Gas
Participacoes SA, according to the WSJ report.  The firm went
public in 2008 for $4.1 billion but failed to produce nearly any
of the up to 10.8 billion barrels it claimed to have. Recently,
OGX declared several of its once promising fields were actually
duds.

OSX Brasil SA is a shipbuilder controlled by billionaire Eike
Batista.

QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL: S&P Raises Corp. Credit Rating to 'BB'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has reviewed its ratings on
Quintiles Transnational Corp., which it labeled as "under criteria
observation" (UCO) after the publishing of its revised Corporate
criteria on Nov. 19, 2013.  Standard & Poor's expedited the review
of its ratings on Quintiles because of the company's announced
debt issue.  With S&P's criteria review of Quintiles complete, it
is raising its corporate credit rating to 'BB' from 'BB-'.  The
outlook is stable.  At the same time, S&P is raising its issue-
level ratings on Quintiles' existing and proposed senior secured
credit facilities to 'BB' from 'BB-' to reflect the upgrade.  The
'4' recovery ratings are unchanged, indicating average (30%-50%)
prospects for recovery in the event of default.

"We base our upgrade primarily on a reassessment of the impact of
financial sponsor ownership on Quintiles' credit profile.  While
our assessment of financial risk remains constrained at
"aggressive" due to the presence of partial sponsor ownership and
some uncertainty regarding financial policy and long-term leverage
targets, our criteria no longer places further constraints on the
ratings of sponsor-owned companies," said credit analyst Shannan
Murphy.  "Consequently, we are raising the rating on Quintiles to
'BB' from 'BB-', consistent with our assessment of a satisfactory"
business risk profile and "aggressive" business risk profile."

S&P's stable rating outlook on Quintiles reflects its expectation
that the company will maintain its market-leading position in an
industry that it expects to have solid long-term growth prospects,
allowing the company to generate mid- to high-single-digit organic
growth over the intermediate term and to sustain leverage in the
low-4x range.

S&P could lower the rating if debt leverage is sustained above 5x,
which it believes would most likely occur if the company
undertakes a significant debt-financed acquisition or share
repurchase.  Assuming a 10x multiple on acquisitions, S&P believes
the company has about $1 billion in capacity for debt-financed
acquisitions at the current rating.

A higher rating would not be considered until S&P believes the
company intends to permanently sustain debt to EBITDA below 4x and
FFO to total debt above 20%, consistent with a significant
financial risk profile.  While leverage is already below 4x and
FFO/debt is currently in the high-teens, an upgrade would also
require S&P to believe that the company's financial policy will be
consistent with permanently maintaining debt leverage at these
levels.  Given the company's relatively short track record as a
public company and stated focus on growing the business, S&P
thinks Quintiles is unlikely to sustain meaningfully lower
leverage over the near term.

SH 130 CONCESSION: Taps Restructuring Lawyers
---------------------------------------------
The operator of the tolled parts of a Texas highway tapped
restructuring lawyers as the company contends with a high debt
load, low cash and possible default, Emily Glazer, writing for The
Wall Street Journal, reported, citing people familiar with the
matter.

The company will likely need to refinance its debt, said the
people.

According to the report, they said they didn't see a bankruptcy
filing as imminent.

The operator, SH 130 Concession Company LLC, is working with
restructuring and infrastructure lawyers at Gibson, Dunn &
Crutcher LLP, the report related.

The company was granted a contract by the Texas Department of
Transportation in 2007 to build out tolled segments of SH 130,
representing roughly 40 miles of a 90-mile bypass around Austin.
Earlier road segments were developed by the state transportation
department.

The company, which carries roughly $1.1 billion of debt, according
to a Moody's Investors Service report, is owned by units of
Ferrovial and Zachry American Infrastructure LLC, the report said.

The operating company was recently downgraded by Moody's to junk-

TRIBUNE CO: To Cut 700 Publishing Jobs
--------------------------------------
Anna Prior, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Tribune Co. will cut nearly 700 jobs in its publishing business,
as part of a restructuring aimed at bolstering the media company's
digital operations.

According to the report, the staff reductions represent about 6%
of Tribune's overall workforce, a Tribune spokesman said, and will
be spread out across the company's newspaper properties, including
the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times.

The spokesman noted that no front-line reporters would be affected
by the Nov. 20 announcement, though there will be some small
reductions in other areas of editorial.

In addition to the job cuts, the restructuring plan will attempt
to unify the non-editorial segments of the company's publishing
business by integrating business units like digital media,
marketing, advertising and manufacturing under common leadership,
according to a memo to Tribune employees, the report related.

"Aligning the non-editorial areas of our business units by
function, rather than by geography, will allow us to better share
best-practices, create efficiencies and maintain our local focus,"
Chief Executive Peter Liguori said in the memo, the report cited.

as co-counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

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

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

Judge Kevin J. Carey issued an order dated July 13, 2012,
overruling objections to the confirmation of Tribune Co. and its
debtor affiliates' Plan of Reorganization.  In November 2012,
Tribune received approval from the Federal Communications
Commission to transfer media licenses, one of the hurdles to
implementing the reorganization plan.  Aurelius Capital Management
LP failed in halting implementation of the plan pending appeal.

Tribune Co. exited Chapter 11 protection Dec. 31, 2012, ending
four years of reorganization.  The reorganization allowed a group
of banks and hedge funds, including Oaktree Capital Management and
JPMorgan Chase & Co., to take over the media company.

As of Sept. 30, 2013, the Company had $3.75 million in total
assets, $16.97 million in total liabilities, all current, and a
$13.22 million total stockholders' deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Our indebtedness at September 30, 2013 was $16,973,748.  A
portion of such indebtedness reflects judicial judgments against
us that could result in liens being placed on our bank accounts or
assets.  We are continuing to review our ability to reduce this
debt level due to the age and/or settlement of certain payables
but we may not be able to do so.  This level of indebtedness
could, among other things:

   * make it difficult for us to make payments on this debt and
     other obligations;

   * make it difficult for us to obtain future financing;

   * require us to redirect significant amounts of cash from
     operations to servicing the debt;

   * require us to take measures such as the reduction in scale of
     our operations that might hurt our future performance in
     order to satisfy our debt obligations; and

  * make us more vulnerable to bankruptcy or an unwanted
    acquisition on terms unsatisfactory to us," the Company said
    in the Quarter Report.

Z TRIM HOLDINGS: Delays Form 10-Q for Third Quarter
---------------------------------------------------
Z Trim Holdings, Inc., notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that it will be delayed in filing its quarterly report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2013.

Due to the complexity of valuing the Company's derivative
liability and accounting for the Company's various discounted
warrant offerings during the period ended Sept. 30, 2013, as well
as other time sensitive matters, additional time is needed to
gather and report the necessary information in order to complete
the Form 10-Q.

the Company had a working capital deficit and reoccurring losses
as of Dec. 31, 2012.  These conditions raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.


* Courts Tack Fee to Bankruptcy Sale Motions
--------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that plenty of ink has been spilled on how bankruptcy courts today
see more sales of assets and businesses rather than true
reorganizations. Now, courts have found a way to turn what seems
to be a lasting trend into a moneymaker.

According to the report, starting Dec. 1, anyone who files a
motion to sell assets -- whether it's a billion-dollar business, a
single corporate jet or a tiny plot of land -- will have to pay a
$176 administrative fee for the privilege.

"This is going to be paid in many Chapter 11 cases, and probably
in Chapter 7 [liquidation] cases when trustees look to sell
assets," said Cooley LLP restructuring lawyer Robert Eisenbach,
who pointed out the looming change on Cooley's bankruptcy blog,
the report related.

The fee comes as federal courts face a funding crisis, the report
noted.  Congress appropriates most of the federal judiciary's
operating funds, so government budget cuts hit the judiciary hard.
A small percentage of operating funds come from fees that the
federal courts charge.  It's clear that bankruptcy pays,
generating about 79% of those fees, according to a recent report
from the Judicial Conference of the United States.

The conference's bankruptcy committee recommended the sale motion
fee, weighing the amount tied to the value of the sale before
deciding on a flat fee, according to a committee report from
September that the Journal's Bankruptcy Beat viewed, the report
said.

                            *********

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For

of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
