ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES: Former CEO to Get $5-Mil. in Severance Pay
------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., previously filed a current report on
Form 8-K disclosing (i) that Rory P. Read had stepped down from
his positions as the Company's president and chief executive
officer and as a director on the Company's Board of Directors, and
(ii) that the Board had appointed Dr. Lisa T. Su as the Company's
president and chief executive officer and as a director on the
Board.  At that time, the Company disclosed that Mr. Read's
Transition, Separation Agreement and Release and Dr. Su's
Employment Agreement were still being negotiated.

On. Oct. 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Transition,
Separation Agreement and Release with Mr. Read and the Company
entered into an at-will Employment Agreement with Dr. Su,
effective as of Oct. 8, 2014.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the parties agreed that Mr.
Read would continue his employment with the Company as a non-
executive employee from Oct. 8, 2014, through Dec. 31, 2014, when
his employment with the Company will end.  During the period from
the Transition Date to the Termination Date, Mr. Read will
continue to receive the salary and benefits he received
immediately prior to the Transition Date.

The Separation Agreement provides for payments and benefits to Mr.
Read, including, among other things, a one-time lump-sum cash
payment to Mr. Read in the amount of $5 million within 10 business
days following the Effective Date (as defined in the Release).

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Dr. Su is
entitled to, among other things, the following compensation and
benefits:

   * An annual base salary of $850,000, which will be reviewed at
     least annually and may be adjusted by the Board;

   * Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, an annual cash performance bonus at a
     target amount of not less than 150% of Base Salary, payable
     under the terms of the Company's Executive Incentive Plan.
     Dr. Su's 2014 target cash performance bonus under the
     Company's Executive Incentive Plan will be calculated at 100%
     of her base salary through Oct. 7, 2014, and 150% of her Base
     Salary from Oct. 8, 2014, through Dec. 27, 2014; and

   * The Company will grant Dr. Su an annual equity award for the
     2014 fiscal year with an aggregate grant date fair value
     equal to approximately $5 million.

                   About Advanced Micro Devices

Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., is a
global semiconductor company.  The Company's products include x86
microprocessors and graphics.

Advanced Micro incurred a net loss of $83 million on $5.29 billion
of net revenue for the year ended Dec. 28, 2013, as compared with
a net loss of $1.18 billion on $5.42 billion of net revenue for
the year ended Dec. 29, 2012.  As of June 28, 2014, the Company
had $4.24 billion in total assets, $3.74 billion in total
liabilities and $501 million in total stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

In August 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
outlook on Advanced Micro to negative from stable.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit and senior unsecured
debt ratings on AMD.

As reported by the TCR on June 5, 2014, Fitch Ratings had upgraded
the long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Advanced Micro
Devices Inc. (NYSE: AMD) to 'B-' from 'CCC'.  The upgrade
primarily reflects AMD's improved financial flexibility from
recent refinancing activity, which extends meaningful debt
maturities until 2019.

In the Feb. 4, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Advanced Micro Devices' corporate family rating to B2 from
B1.  The downgrade of the corporate family rating to B2 reflects
AMD's prospects for weaker operating performance and liquidity
profile over the next year as the company commences on a multi-
quarter strategic reorientation of its business in the face of a
challenging macro environment and a weak PC market.


AGFEED USA: Oct. 27 Hearing on Bid for Exclusivity Extensions
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court will convene a hearing on Oct. 27, 2014, at
10:30 a.m., to consider AgFeed USA, LLC, et al.'s sixth motion to
extend their exclusive periods to propose a Chapter 11 plan.

The Debtors are requesting for an extension until Nov. 17, 2014,
of their exclusive period to file a Chapter 11 plan, and until
Jan. 16, 2015, of the period to solicit acceptances of that plan.

According to the Debtors, on Sept. 15, 2014, the Court approved
the Disclosure Statement and certain related materials for
solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan.  A hearing to
consider confirmation of the Second Amended Plan is scheduled for
Oct. 27, 2014.

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 29, 2014, the Second Amended Plan
resolves a number of complex issues the various constituencies had
with the prior iterations of the Plan.  The Debtors noted that
they expect that these resolutions will allow for the confirmation
process to move forward efficiently and on a largely consensual
basis.

The Debtors added they are in a position to set a confirmation
timetable, and will seek to do so under a solicitation procedures
motion.  However, in order to file and solicit acceptances of the
Second Amended Plan, the exclusive periods must be further
extended.

ALLIED SYSTEMS: Genregske & Cullen Seeks to Extend Claim Bar Date
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mark J. Genregske and Brian Cullen, members of Allied Systems
Holdings, Inc. Board, filed a seventh motion with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to extend the
deadline to file proofs of claim against ASHINC Corporation, et
al., through Dec. 8, 2014.

Hearing on the Seventh Claims Bar Date Motion is set on Nov. 3,
2014 at 11:00 a.m. (ET) before Judge Christopher S. Sontchi in
Delaware.

BDCM Opportunity Fund II, LP, Spectrum Investment Partners LP, and
Black Diamond CLO 2005-1 Adviser L.L.C., filed involuntary
petitions for Allied Systems Holdings Inc. and Allied Systems Ltd.
(Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 12-11564 and 12-11565) on May 17, 2012.
The signatories of the involuntary petitions assert claims of at
least $52.8 million for loan defaults by the two companies.

Allied Systems, through its subsidiaries, provides logistics,
distribution, and transportation services for the automotive
industry in North America.

Allied Holdings Inc. first filed for chapter 11 protection (Bankr.
N.D. Ga. Case Nos. 05-12515 through 05-12537) on July 31, 2005.
Jeffrey W. Kelley, Esq., at Troutman Sanders, LLP, represented the
Debtors in the 2005 case.  Allied won confirmation of a
reorganization plan and emerged from bankruptcy in May 2007
with $265 million in first-lien debt and $50 million in second-
lien debt.

The petitioning creditors said Allied defaulted on payments of
$57.4 million on the first lien debt and $9.6 million on the
second.  They hold $47.9 million, or about 20% of the first-lien
debt, and about $5 million, or 17%, of the second-lien obligation.
They are represented by Adam G. Landis, Esq., and Kerri K.
Mumford, Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP; and Adam C. Harris,
Esq., and Robert J. Ward, Esq., at Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP.

Allied Systems Holdings Inc. formally put itself and 18
subsidiaries into bankruptcy reorganization June 10, 2012,
following the filing of the involuntary Chapter 11 petition.

The Company is being advised by Mark D. Collins, Esq., at
Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., and Jeffrey W. Kelley, Esq., at
Troutman Sanders, Gowling Lafleur Henderson.

The bankruptcy court process does not include captive insurance
company Haul Insurance Limited or any of the Company's Mexican or
Bermudan subsidiaries.  The Company also announced that it intends
to seek foreign recognition of its Chapter 11 cases in Canada.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.  The Committee consists of Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, Central States Pension Fund, Teamsters National
Automobile Transporters Industry Negotiating Committee, and
General Motors LLC.  The Committee is represented by Sidley Austin
LLP.

In January 2014, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3 appointed a three-
member Official Committee of Retirees.

Yucaipa Cos. has 55% of the senior debt and took the position it
had the right to control actions the indenture trustee would take
on behalf of debt holders.  The state court ruled in March 2013
that the loan documents didn't allow Yucaipa to vote.

In March 2013, the bankruptcy court also gave the official
creditors' committee authority to sue Yucaipa.  The suit includes
claims that the debt held by Yucaipa should be treated as equity
or subordinated so everyone else is paid before the Los Angeles-
based owner. The judge allowed Black Diamond to participate in the
lawsuit against Yucaipa and Allied directors.

ASSOCIATED WHOLESALERS: Musser's Balks at Assignment of Contract
----------------------------------------------------------------
Musser's Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to deny AWI Delaware, Inc. et al.'s motion to sell
substantially all of the Debtors' assets, to the extent that the
Motion requests authority to assume and assign the Musser
Agreement.

Musser is a family-owned company that operates a small chain of
supermarkets in the vicinity of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and is a
member and shareholder of debtor Associated Wholesalers, Inc.

For approximately the past 40 years, AWI has been Musser's primary
supplier.  Until approximately two years ago, the parties
conducted business without a written contract to govern their
relationship.  On August 13, 2012, Musser and AWI entered into a
Purchase Supply Agreement, under which AWI agreed to serve as
Musser's primary supplier, and Musser agreed to use AWI in that
role.

Beginning in approximately July of 2014, AWI's performance
declined precipitously, and AWI began routinely breaching its
obligations to supply Musser's needs, John T. Carroll, III, Esq.
at Cozen O'Connor, in Wilmington, Delaware -- jcarroll@cozen.com
-- tells the Court.  He alleges that Musser experiences
significant shortages of inventory, including complete absences of
numerous critical popular items.  He asserts that as well as lost
revenue, Musser suffered even more significant harm in the form of
damage to its reputation resulting from empty shelves, its
inability to provide the same variety of goods sold by its
competitors, and its inability to provide customers with
advertised goods.

Mr. Carroll contends that the Motion should be denied, to the
extent that it requests authority to assume and assign the Musser
Agreement because the Agreement is not capable of being assumed
since AWI has committed incurable nonmonetary defaults.  He
insists that AWI repudiated the Musser Agreement prior to the
commencement of its bankruptcy case.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Judge Kevin J. Carey
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved
the procedures governing the bidding and sale of the assets of
Associated Wholesalers Inc. and its debtor affiliates.  Qualified
bids for the assets must be submitted on or before Oct. 22 so an
auction scheduled for Oct. 24 can proceed.  The auction will be
followed by a sale hearing on Oct. 29.

Bill Rochelle, a bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, reported
earlier this month that Associated Wholesalers Inc. and its White
Rose grocery distribution business attracted two more prospective
industry buyers.  Aside from C&S Wholesale Grocers Inc., which
serves as the stalking horse bidder, Supervalu Inc. also offered
to replace C&S as stalking horse.  Another yet unnamed company has
also offered a bid, according to Bloomberg.

ASTEA INT'L: Gets NASDAQ Listing Determination; Hearing Requested
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Astea International Inc. on Oct. 15 disclosed that, as expected,
the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC notified the Company that, based upon the
Company's non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders'
equity requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital
Market, the Company's securities were subject to delisting unless
the Company timely requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Panel.  On October 15, the Company timely requested
a hearing before the NASDAQ Panel, which request has stayed the
Staff's determination, and the Company's securities will continue
to trade on NASDAQ at least pending the hearing and the expiration
of any extension period granted by the Panel.  The Company is
taking all available steps to evidence compliance with the NASDAQ
listing criteria; however, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able or that the Panel will grant the Company the
necessary time to do so.

BS QUARRIES: Court OKs Dismissal; Debtor to Pay UST Fees
--------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge John J. Thomas signed off a stipulation and
consent order dismissing the Chapter 11 case of B.S. Quarries,
Inc.

The stipulation, entered among the Debtor, WM and the U.S.
Trustee, also provided that the Debtor will make payment of all
accrued but unpaid fees due to the U.S. Trustee.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 9, 2014,
WM Capital Partners XXXIX, LLC, filed a motion asking the Court to
issue an order vacating the automatic stay or, in the alternative,
dismissing the Chapter 11 case of the Debtor.

WM, the Debtor's principal secured lender, told the Court that the
Debtor's Chapter 11 filing is "a desperate attempt to hold onto
assets in which it has no equity and to perpetuate a case in which
it cannot formulate a feasible plan of reorganization within any
timeframe, much less a reasonable one."

WM pointed out that the timing of the commencement of the Debtor's
Chapter 11 case clearly evidences an attempt to use the automatic
stay as a litigation tactic to stall WM's realization of the value
of its collateral by means of a sheriff's sale.  In addition, the
Debtor entered Chapter 11 on June 25, 2014, while the sheriff's
sale was actually in progress.

The parties agreed that the bankruptcy case is dismissed without
prejudice, and all orders entered in the Debtor's Chapter 11 case
prior to the date on which this Court approves the stipulation and
consent order will survive and remain effective after such date.

CASINO REINVESTMENT: Moody's Cuts Rating on $194.6MM Bonds to Ba3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba3 from Baa3 the
rating on Casino Reinvestment Development Authority's (NJ) (or
CRDA) $194.6 million Parking Fee and Atlantic City Fund Revenue
Bonds, Series 2005A and 2005B. The outlook remains negative. The
bonds are secured by three streams of economically related
revenues: two separate pledges of parking fees levied on vehicles
at Atlantic City (GO Ba1/negative) casinos, and a portion of a
gross revenue tax levied on the casinos (Investment Alternative
Tax, or IAT) through 2018.

Summary Rating Rationale

The Ba3 rating reflects Moody's expectation that debt service
coverage will fall below 1.0 times annual debt service within two
years, given recent casino closures and the persistent negative
pledged revenue trend. The rating also reflects the narrowness of
pledged revenues and their dependence upon the Atlantic City's
troubled gaming industry.

The negative outlook considers the expectation of draws on the
cash-funded debt service reserve fund, and the potential for
additional Atlantic City casino closures.

Strengths

-- Relatively strong security provision of first-in revenues to
    pay debt service

-- Cash-funded debt service reserve funded at near maximum
    annual debt service amount

-- Complimentary parking is subject to the dedicated parking
    fees

Challenges

-- Declining revenues resulting in below sum-sufficient debt
    service coverage within two years

-- Narrow security pledge of fees collected from casinos in
    limited geographic region

-- Deteriorating economic base for pledged revenues, evidenced
    by rapidly declining gross casino revenues

-- Four casino closures within the last several months that will
    abruptly further reduce the economic base

-- Upcoming 2019 sunset of IAT revenues

Outlook

The negative outlook reflects the risk of additional declines in
the revenues securing these bonds as Atlantic City casinos
continue to face regional competition. Future rating reviews will
consider the potential for draws on the debt service reserve fund
and additional casino closures.

What Can Move the Rating UP:

-- Stabilization or increase in parking fee revenues that
    improves debt service coverage

-- Stabilization or increase in gross casino revenues and IAT
    revenues that improves debt service coverage

What Can Move the Rating DOWN:

-- Further declines in parking fee and IAT revenues beyond
    current projections of 20% for the four casino

-- Closures and 5% annually going forward

-- Draws on the Debt Service Reserve Fund

-- Additional casino closures

The principal methodology used in this rating was US Public
Finance Special Tax Methodology published in January 2014.



CHINA PRECISION: Has $37.5-Mil. Net Loss in FY Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------
China Precision Steel, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on Oct. 14, 2014, its annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, citing that the Company suffered very significant
losses for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and defaulted on
interest and principal repayments of bank borrowings.

The Company reported a net loss of $37.5 million on $47.2 million
of sales revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014,
compared with a net loss of $68.9 million on $36.5 million of
sales revenues in 2013.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $77.8 million
in total assets, $63.2 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $14.6 million.

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

                   About China Precision Steel

China Precision Steel -- http://chinaprecisionsteelinc.com-- is a
niche precision steel processing company principally engaged in
the production and sale of high precision cold-rolled steel
products and provides value added services such as heat treatment

China Precision reported a net loss of $68.93 million on $36.52
million of sales revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013, as
compared with a net loss of $16.94 million on $142.97 million of
sales revenues during the prior fiscal year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $88.13
million in total assets, $78.16 million in total liabilities, all
current and $9.97 million in total stockholders' equity.

Moore Stephens, Certified Public Accountants, in Hong Kong, issued
a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has suffered a very significant
loss in the year ended June 30, 2013, and defaulted on interest
and principal repayments of bank borrowings that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


CHIQUITA BRANDS: Board Rejects Sweetened Cutrale-Safra Bid
----------------------------------------------------------
Tess Stynes, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
Chiquita Brands International Inc. said its board rejected a
sweetened takeover offer from Cutrale-Safra, saying the new bid
isn't adequate and isn't in the best interest of shareholders.
According to the report, Cutrale-Safra, a coalition of a Brazilian
orange juice maker and an investment firm, raised their takeover
offer for Chiquita by about 8% in an effort to thwart the banana
company's proposed tie-up with Irish food company Fyffes PLC.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, citing
The New York Times' DealBook, Chiquita agreed to enter into a
confidentiality agreement with the Cutrale-Safra coalition after
resisting the Brazilian companies' $611 million bid.  The
Brazilian companies' offer came after Chiquita and Fyffes agreed
to combine their company to achieve an additional $20 million in
annual cost savings by 2016.

                           *     *     *

The March 17, 2014 edition of The Troubled Company Reporter
reported that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
rating outlook on Chiquita Brands International Inc. to positive
from stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'B' corporate
credit rating, 'B' senior secured debt rating, and 'CCC+'
unsecured debt rating on the company.

The TCR, on Jan. 30, 2014, reported that Moody's Investors Service
changed the rating outlook for Chiquita Brands International Inc.
to stable from negative while affirming all ratings of the
company, including its B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and B2-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR).  Moody's also affirmed the
company's SGL-3 liquidity rating. The change in the outlook to
stable reflects Moody's expectation for continued improvement in
Chiquita's credit metrics, which have recently benefitted from
margin improvement largely as a result of cost saving initiatives.

The Aug. 14, 2014, edition of the TCR reported that Moody's
Investors Service views the proposed non-binding all cash bid from
Cutrale Group and Safra Group to acquire Chiquita Brands
International, Inc. favorably but it does not impact Chiquita's B2
CFR or developing outlook.

The TCR, on Oct. 13, 2014, reported that S&P revised its rating
outlook on Chiquita to developing from positive.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating on the company.
In addition, S&P affirmed the 'B' rating on the company's senior
secured notes due 2021.  The recovery rating remains '3',
indicating S&P's expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.  S&P also affirmed its 'CCC+'
rating on the company's unsecured convertible senior notes due
2016.  The recovery rating remains '6', indicating S&P's
expectation for negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

CLOUDEEVA INC: Taps Jeffer Mangels as Special Counsel, BAPL Reacts
------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloudeeva, Inc., et al., filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of New Jersey for permission to retain
Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell, LLP, as their special counsel.

The Debtors are seeking to retain Jeffer Mangels for
representation in the litigation entitled Bartronics America Pte.
Ltd. v. Adesh Tyagi, et al., to replace the Debtors' former
counsel, Lowenstein Sandler LP.

The Bartronics Litigation was originally commenced in the Superior
Court for the State of California and before an arbitrator.  The
action was removed by the Debtors to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of California and since then, cross motions
to transfer venue to the District of New Jersey and to remand the
case are pending.

These Jeffer Mangels professionals have these rates:

      Professional                          Rate
      ------------                          -----
      Bennett G. Young (Partner)            $675
      Joseph N. Demko (Partner)             $675
      Erin Daly (Associate)                 $340

Other members or associates of the Firm may also render services
to the Debtors, if appropriate, at hourly rates ranging from $285
for paralegals to $925 for certain partners.

Jeffer Mangels assures the Court that it is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Firm can be reached at:

         JEFFER MANGELS BUTLER & MITCHELL, LLP

                JDemko@jmbm.com
                EDaly@jmbm.com

                         Bartronics Reacts

Bartronics Asia Pte. Ltd. tells the Bankruptcy Court that it
objects to the Jeffer Mangels employment application.

Bartronics Asia asserts that the employment application should be
denied unless Jeffer Mangels returns a certain postpetition
retainer to the Debtors.  The PostPetition Retainer, Bartronics
argues, was an unauthorized -- and therefore improper --  transfer
of property of the Debtors' estate admittedly made "post-
petition."

Bartronics Asia adds that the Debtors did not seek or obtain the
Bankruptcy Court's prior approval to pay the PostPetition
Retainer.

Cloudeeva, Inc., and its affiliates sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Lead Case No. 14-24874) in Trenton, New
Jersey, on July 21, 2014.  The cases are assigned to Judge Kathryn
C. Ferguson.

Cloudeeva estimated assets of at least $10 million and debt of
less than $10 million.  The company said only $209,000 is owing to
its lender Prestige Capital Corp. and more than $5.2 million is
owed for trade vendor payables.

The Debtors originally tapped Lowenstein Sandler LLP as counsel.
However, they are now seeking the retention of Trenk, DiPasquale,
Della Fera & Sodono, P.C., to replace Lowenstein Sandler, who
retention was not formally approved by order of the Court.  The
Debtors have also tapped Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard,
P.A. as appellate counsel.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves
as claims and noticing agent.

                         *     *     *

On Aug. 22, 2014, Judge Ferguson entered an order dismissing the
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases at the behest of Bartronics Asia PTE
Ltd.  BAPL asserted that the cases were not filed in good faith.

The Debtors subsequently filed an appeal challenging the dismissal
of their cases.

Since then, District Judge Joel A. Pisano for the District of New
Jersey entered an order staying the Case Dismissal Order pending
further proceedings.  Simultaneously, Judge Pisano reinstated the
Debtors' bankruptcy cases and authorized the Debtors to be in
possession of their assets and the management of their business as
debtors-in-possession, subject to the continuing jurisdiction of
the Bankruptcy Court and any further orders of the Bankruptcy
Court or the District Court.

According to the docket, the Debtors' exclusive right to file a
plan expires on Nov. 18, 2014.


CLOUDEEVA INC: Taps Karen Balmer as Financial Advisor
-----------------------------------------------------
Cloudeeva, Inc. and its debtor affiliates seek to employ Karen
Balmer, CPA, as their financial advisor.

The Debtors expect Karen Balmer to:

   a. testify and provide other assistance in support of the
      Debtors' opposition to the pending motion of Bartronics Asia
      Pte Ltd, for an order appointing a Chapter 11 trustee or, in
      alternative, dismissing the Debtor's chapter 11 cases; and

   b. assist them in connection with handling any and all
      bankruptcy case matters, including preparation of monthly
      operating reports, financial projections and other
      bankruptcy-specific items.

The Debtors propose to pay Karen Balmer for its services at these
rates:

           Professional                   Rates
           ------------                   -----
           Partners                       $550
           Managers                       $475
           Supervisors                    $375
           Senior Accountants             $275
           Staff Accountants              $200
           Paraprofessional               $150

Karen Balmer assures the Court that it is is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Troubled Company Reporter has related that Bartronics Asia
Pte. Ltd. has objected to the Karen Balmer employment application,
saying that the application has not demonstrated the necessity of
hiring the Firm.  Even if the Court determined that the retention
is appropriate, BAPL argues, the application must only be approved
if Balmer returns a $50,000 postpetition retainer it received from
the Debtors.

CRUMBS BAKE SHOP: Gets Approval to Fulfill Purchase Orders
----------------------------------------------------------
A bankruptcy judge has allowed Coastal Foods Baking LLC, a
manufacturer of bakery products, to fulfill two purchase orders it
received from a customer last month.

The court order signed by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan
authorized the manufacturer to deliver its products to the
customer under Crumbs Bake Shop's trademark.

Coastal Foods sought court intervention following a cease-and-
desist letter from Lemonis Fischer Acquisition Corp., the company
that acquired Crumbs Bake Shop Inc.'s major assets.

Coastal Foods manufactures and distributes cupcakes under a
license agreement with Crumbs Bake Shop.  Last month, the company
and Lemonis negotiated for a new contract after Crumbs Bake Shop
sought court approval to reject the license agreement.

After the companies failed to a reach a new agreement, Lemonis
allegedly warned Coastal Foods to stop using Crumbs Bake Shop's
brand as it infringes on its trademark rights.

                      About Crumbs Bake Shop

Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc., and 22 of its affiliates filed separate
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. D. N.J. Lead Case No. 14-
24287) on July 11, 2014.  John D. Ireland signed the petitions as
chief financial officer.  Crumbs Bake Shop estimated assets of $10
million to $50 million and the same range of liabilities.

Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., acts as the Debtors'
counsel.  Prime Clerk LLC is the Debtors' claims and noticing
agent.  Judge Michael B. Kaplan oversees the jointly administered
cases.

The U.S. Trustee appointed three creditors to serve in the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.   Sharon L. Levine,
Esq., at Lowenstein Sandler LLP serves as Committee's counsel.

                           *     *     *

On July 7, 2014, the Board of Directors of Crumbs Bake Shop
determined to cease operations effective immediately.  The Board's
determination was made after the Company lacked sufficient
liquidity to maintain current operations.

On the petition date, Crumbs entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement through which Lemonis Fischer Acquisition Company, LLC,
a joint venture created by Marcus Lemonis LLC and Fischer
Enterprises, L.L.C., will acquire the Crumbs' business as part of
the Company's Chapter 11 filing.  Lemonis Fischer Acquisition is
represented by Louis Price, Esq., at McAfee & Taft PC.

On Aug. 29, 2014, Crumbs Bake Shops completed the sale of its
assets for a credit bid of $7,140,000 and the assumption of
various liabilities.  There are no cash proceeds and the credit
bid resulted in the repayment of all indebtedness to Lemonis
Fischer Acquisition, which held a first priority security interest
in the assets of the Company. The Company's remaining assets will
be liquidated and the proceeds thereof will be utilized to pay
unsecured liabilities in accordance with applicable law and
certain advisors' fees and expenses. The Company does not expect
that there will be any proceeds available for distribution to
shareholders.


CRUMBS BAKE SHOP: Lemonis Seeks to Block Use of Crumbs Trademark
----------------------------------------------------------------
The buyer of Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc.'s major assets has filed a
motion, which if approved, would prohibit licensees from using the
company's trademarks.

In its motion, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition Company, LLC asked the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey to issue an order clarifying
that section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code doesn't allow third-
party licensees to use Crumbs Bake Shop's trademarks, saying such
right is not included in the Bankruptcy Code's definition
of intellectual property.

The provision was added to the Bankruptcy Code in 1988 to protect
a licensee from being stripped of its rights to continue to use a
licensed intellectual property.

Under Section 365(n), if a company going through bankruptcy or
trustee rejects a license, a licensee can elect to retain its
rights to the intellectual property.  In return, the licensee must
continue to make any required royalty payment.

Lemonis said it sought clarification from the court because of
Brand Squared Licensing's "confusion" regarding a previous ruling
that authorized the sale of Crumbs Bake Shop's assets, including
its intellectual property.

Brand Squared, a licensing agent, had argued that Crumbs Bake Shop
could not reject any license agreement if the licensee elected to
invoke section 365(n) to continue using the company's intellectual
property despite the sale of its assets to Lemonis.

The motion is on Judge Michael Kaplan's calendar for Oct. 31.

DETROIT, MI: FGIC Settlement Clears Major Restructuring Hurdle
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kevyn D. Orr, Emergency Manager for the City of Detroit, issued
the following statement regarding the Oct. 16 announced settlement
with Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC), one of the
City's largest impaired creditors:

"[Thurs]day's settlement with Financial Guaranty Insurance Company
clears a major hurdle the City faced in its attempt to restructure
more than $7 billion in debt and free up nearly $1.4 billion to be
reinvested back into City services.  The City all along has sought
negotiated settlements with its impaired creditors that were not
only fair and reasonable given Detroit's financial situation, but
also would allow it to exit bankruptcy solvent and able to deliver
basic services to its nearly 700,000 residents.  I want to thank
FGIC for its hard work and willingness to reach this settlement
and to become a partner in Detroit's recovery.  I also want to
commend the work of U.S. Chief Judge Gerald Rosen and his team of
federal mediators who helped facilitate this agreement and all
other creditor agreements.  Credit also goes to the City and State
of Michigan officials who worked tirelessly to achieve the best
outcome for Detroiters."

The City of Detroit, Michigan, weighed down by more than
$18 billion in accrued obligations, sought municipal bankruptcy
protection on July 18, 2013, by filing a voluntary Chapter 9
petition (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No. 13-53846).  Detroit estimated
more than $1 billion in both assets and debts.

Kevyn Orr, who was appointed in March 2013 as Detroit's emergency
manager, signed the petition.  Detroit is represented by
lawyers at Jones Day and Miller Canfield Paddock and Stone PLC.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder authorized the bankruptcy filing.

The filing makes Detroit the largest American city to seek
bankruptcy, in terms of population and the size of the debts and
liabilities involved.

The City's $18 billion in debt includes $5.85 billion in special
revenue obligations, $6.4 billion in post-employment benefits,
$3.5 billion for underfunded pensions, $1.13 billion on secured
and unsecured general obligations, and $1.43 billion on pension-
related debt, according to a court filing.  Debt service consumes
42.5 percent of revenue.  The city has 100,000 creditors and
20,000 retirees.

The Hon. Steven Rhodes oversees the bankruptcy case.  Detroit is
represented by David G. Heiman, Esq., and Heather Lennox, Esq., at
Jones Day, in Cleveland, Ohio; Bruce Bennett, Esq., at Jones Day,
in Los Angeles, California; and Jonathan S. Green, Esq., and

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, on Sept. 5, 2014, raised its
ratings on five bond CUSIPs of Detroit's outstanding sewerage
disposal and water supply revenue bonds to 'BBB+' from 'D' as S&P
indicated it would do in its report dated Aug. 28, 2014.  The
outlook is stable.

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Oct. 10, 2014, reported that
Moody's Investors Service has placed the City of Detroit's (MI)
Certificates of Participation (COPs) Ca rating on review for
possible downgrade. This action follows the recent settlement
announcement between the city and Syncora, which insures a portion
of the city's outstanding COPs. The settlement includes a cash
payment, as well as extended and optional stakes in city owned
assets. Moody's said it is likely that the recovery for creditors
will be below 35% and as a result consistent with a C rating. The
review will be resolved if and when a settlement with FGIC, the
other main insurer of the city's COPs liabilities, is made public.


DETROIT, MI: Kramer Levin Issues Statement on FGIC Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------------
The following statement is issued by Kramer Levin Naftalis &
Frankel LLP on behalf of the following holders of $1,015,270,000
Certificates of Participation ("COPs") insured by Financial
Guaranty Insurance Company ("FGIC"): Dexia Credit Local and Dexia
Holdings, Inc., Panning Capital Management, LP, on behalf of funds
and accounts managed by it, Monarch Alternative Capital LP, on
behalf of funds and accounts managed by it, Bronze Gable, L.L.C.,
Aurelius Capital Management, LP, on behalf of its managed
entities, Stone Lion Capital Partners L.P., on behalf of funds and
accounts managed by it, and BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC,
on behalf of funds and accounts managed by it (collectively, the
"Ad Hoc COPs").

Over the last several days, the Ad Hoc COPs have actively
participated in mediated negotiations among the Ad Hoc COPs, FGIC
and the City of Detroit with the goal of settling FGIC's and the
Ad Hoc COPs' objections to the City's Chapter 9 bankruptcy plan
and the attendant claims of the Ad Hoc COPs against FGIC.  By
Oct. 15, the parties had reached an agreement in principle on the
basis of the attached term sheet (a copy of which will be filed on
the City's bankruptcy docket and available at
https://www.kccllc.net/Detroit).  Unfortunately, last evening FGIC
informed representatives of the Ad Hoc COPs that it was unable to
accelerate payments on the policies of one of the three series of
FGIC-insured COPs without the consent of a third party.

FGIC and the City announced in Bankruptcy Court this morning of
October 16, 2014 that (i) they had reached an agreement among each
other, which is reflected in a revised term sheet available on the
City's Bankruptcy Website (Docket No. 7963) and (ii) they intend
to proceed with a settlement on substantially the terms
contemplated by the Term Sheet, except that none of the three
series of FGIC-insured COPs would be accelerated.  All FGIC-
insured COPs holders would be provided with the option of
participating in the terms of that settlement, which FGIC is
currently drafting.  As of the date hereof, the Ad Hoc COPs have
not accepted these modified terms and reserve all rights as
against the City and FGIC. The Ad Hoc COPs are open to resuming
discussions to bring about a comprehensive resolution to the
matter.

Although not reflected in the Term Sheet, the deal dishonored by
FGIC also contained the following provisions:

    * FGIC would begin the monetization process of the development
rights for the real property located in the City upon which is
presently situated the Joe Louis Arena and the Joe Louis Arena
garage at least six months prior to the expiration of FGIC's
ability to develop said parcel or a major capital call.

    * FGIC agreed to sell C Notes provided by the City as part of
its consideration to FGIC and COPs holders at or near par within
two years.

    * The parties agreed to appoint a "restricted representative"
to oversee the liquidation of all assets including the JLA
development rights on behalf of the COPs, who would be paid by
FGIC. Such fees for a restricted representative would be capped at
$100,000 annually.

    * Parties that contribute capital would be provided with a
"Preferred Return" of 10% cumulative annual return, compounded
annually or, in certain circumstances, a "Super Preferred Return"
of 15% cumulative annual return, compounded annually.

transportation services, avoided a trustee to oversee its Chapter
11 case by by naming a chief restructuring officer with power to

DUNE ENERGY: Amends Tender Offer Statement With SEC
---------------------------------------------------
Dune Energy, Inc., filed an amendment to its Schedule TO which
amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement filed by Eos
Petro, Inc., and Eos Merger Sub, Inc., a directly wholly owned
subsidiary of Eos ("Purchaser") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Oct. 9, 2014, relating to the offer by Eos to
purchase each of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, of Dune Energy for $0.30 in cash, without
interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase,
dated Oct. 9, 2014, and the related Letter of Transmittal.

The following three paragraphs are added as supplements after the
last paragraph under Section 11 - "Background of the Offer, Past
Contacts or Negotiations with Dune" of the Offer to Purchase:

"After the commencement of the Offer, on October 9, 2014, the Dune
Board determined in good faith (after taking into account the
advice of its financial and legal advisors) at a meeting of the
Dune Board, that the unsolicited acquisition proposal received
from the potential strategic buyer which contacted PWP on
September 25, 2014, September 30, 2014 and October 1, 2014 could
reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, requiring
disclosure to Eos.  Dune notified Eos of its determination on
October 9, 2014.  On October 9, 2014, Dune and the potential
strategic buyer entered into a non-disclosure agreement, in
substantially the same form as entered into with Eos, which
restricts the potential strategic buyer's disclosure and use of
Dune's confidential, non-public information and contained a two
year standstill provision that, among other things, restricted the
ability of the potential strategic buyer to acquire or seek to
acquire the assets or securities of Dune without the Dune Board's
consent.

As of the date of this Amendment, Dune and PWP were engaged in
discussions with such potential strategic buyer and its advisors
to determine whether the proposal constitutes, or could be revised
to constitute, a Superior Proposal.  There can be no assurance
that any discussions with respect to the unsolicited proposal will
result in a transaction being recommended by the Dune Board, or
that any such transaction will be consummated.  Except as required
by applicable law, Dune does not intend to disclose the possible
terms of any alternative transaction or the identity of any person
proposing such alternative transaction, prior to the execution of
a definitive agreement with respect to such alternative
transaction, if any.  Furthermore, under the Merger Agreement,
Dune has an obligation to keep Eos informed on a reasonably
current basis of the status and material details of such potential
alternative transactions."

As of the date of this Amendment, the Dune Board continues to
unanimously recommend that Dune stockholders accept and tender
their Shares pursuant to the Offer described in the Merger
Agreement.

                           Going Concern

"We monitor our financial progress very carefully and attempt to
adjust our available projects in order to meet all of the
covenants of the Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding these efforts,
our future revolver availability is also driven by the amount of
Notes outstanding, as they are part of the EBITDAX covenant
calculation used to determine our borrowing limit under the
revolver.  As a result of the PIK feature contained in the Notes,
the amount outstanding has increased over time and, therefore,
continues to put pressure on the EBITDAX covenant and limit
borrowing availability.  As we are no longer in compliance with
the financial covenant of the Credit Agreement, additional
borrowings may not permitted, and the outstanding revolver loans
may become due and payable upon notice to us by the Bank of
Montreal.  Absent relief from the Credit Agreement Lenders, the
restructuring of a material portion of the Notes or the emergence
of a new lender, our ability to meet our obligations in due course
is threatened.  Management is currently in discussions with all
parties and seeking new credit providers or other strategic
alternatives in an effort to resolve this liquidity stalemate.

"These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months," the
Company stated in the Form 10-Q Report for the period ended
June 30, 2014.


EAGLE BULK: Completes Court-Approved Financial Restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------
Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. on Oct. 15 disclosed that it has
successfully completed its court-approved financial restructuring,
emerging with a strong balance sheet and significantly enhanced
liquidity.

Sophocles N. Zoullas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "We are very pleased to have concluded our balance
sheet restructuring, which has placed the Company in a far
stronger position to compete in the cyclical shipping markets.
Eagle Bulk is grateful to our lenders for their strong support in
achieving this transformational result on an expedited timeframe,
and also to our customers and vendors who supported us during the
process.  The Company's employees and crew have also worked
tirelessly to ensure Eagle Bulk remains the premier Supramax
owner/operator in the world."

The financial restructuring process has enabled Eagle Bulk to
reduce its debt obligations by 80%, or approximately $1 billion,
as well as greatly lower its annual cash interest expense and
significantly enhance liquidity.

Mr. Zoullas continued, "With our new and conservative capital
structure in place, an on-the-water quality fleet of 45 vessels,
and a best-in-class management platform, Eagle Bulk is uniquely
positioned to capitalize on current and future drybulk market
fundamentals."

In conjunction with its emergence from the financial restructuring
process, Eagle Bulk on Oct. 15 closed on a new $275 million exit
financing facility, comprised of a $225 million term loan and a
$50 million revolving credit facility.

On September 22, 2014, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York confirmed Eagle Bulk's Plan of
Reorganization, which received the unanimous support of Eagle
Bulk's secured lenders.  Under the terms of the Plan, the Lenders
converted their debt into 99.5% of the new equity in the
reorganized Eagle Bulk, subject to dilution, and received a cash
distribution from the proceeds of the exit financing facility.

Also, in accordance with the Plan, all existing equity interests
in Eagle Bulk have been cancelled, with such equity interests
receiving, subject to dilution, 0.5% of new equity in the
reorganized Eagle Bulk and seven-year warrants to acquire an
additional 7.5% of the new equity in the reorganized Eagle Bulk,
subject to dilution.

EFL PARTNERS: Two-Time Loser Files for Bankruptcy Without Lawyer
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that a real estate owner from Philadelphia named
EFL Partners X filed a Chapter 11 petition without a lawyer but,
evidently knowing it isn't proper to file one without counsel, it
said in court papers that it was in the process of hiring counsel.

According to the report, EFL, which had been in Chapter 11 twice
before, said the new lawyer "became aware of a prior Chapter 11
filing" and said it couldn't file a new petition "without engaging
in further due diligence."

The new case is EFL Partners X, 14-bk-18043, U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia).


ELBIT IMAGING: Plans to Sell Mango Retail Stores Operation
----------------------------------------------------------
Elbit Imaging Ltd. and Elbit Fashion are negotiating with Fox-
Wisel Ltd. regarding the purchase of the operation of the Mango
retail stores by Fox-Wisel, according to a regulatory filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The consideration
expected under the Transaction is estimated at approximately NIS
28 million in addition to the price of Elbit Fashion's inventory
that will be transferred to Fox-Wisel.

The negotiations are expected to be consummated at the end of
November 2014.

The Company previously announced on Sept. 29, 2014, that its
subsidiary Elbit Fashion Ltd. received from PUNTO FA, S.L.,
written notice of its intention not to extend the term of the
franchise rights of Elbit Fashion for operation of the "Mango"
retail stores in Israel.

The closing of the transaction will be conditioned upon the
approval of the Israeli Antitrust Authority as well as the
satisfaction of certain conditions precedent as will be set forth

                 Pricing Changed Ahead of Plaza's
                    Proposed Rights Offering

Elbit Imaging announced that as part of the debt restructuring
process of Plaza Centers N.V., a public company listed on the
London Stock Exchange and the Warsaw Stock Exchange in which the
Company holds approximately 62.25% of the outstanding shares, that
Plaza announced that the terms of rights offering to existing
shareholders which will be undertaken by Plaza as part of its debt
restructuring will be re-priced at EUR 0.0675 per share.

As announced by Plaza, it has been actively reviewing the
arrangements for the proposed Rights Offering and has noted the
movement in Plaza's share price since June 23, 2014.  As a result,
Plaza has taken the decision to reduce the Rights Offering price
to EUR 0.0675 per share to ensure optimal conditions for a full
participation in the Rights Offering by shareholders.  The parties
to the Undertaking and Back Stop Agreement described in the
Previous Announcement intend to amend the said agreements to
reflect this change.

The Rights Offering remains subject to the approval of the Plaza's
board of directors and of its shareholders, who will be presented
with a number of resolutions at a forthcoming general meeting.

                      About Elbit Imaging Ltd.

Tel-Aviv, Israel-based Elbit Imaging Ltd. (TASE, NASDAQ: EMITF)
hold investments in real estate and medical companies.  The
Company, through its subsidiaries, also develops shopping and
entertainment centers in Central Europe and invests in and manages
hotels.

Since February 2013, Elbit has intensively endeavored to come to
an arrangement with its creditors.  Elbit has said it has been
hanging by a thread for more than five months.  It has encountered
cash flow difficulties and this burdens its day to day activities,
and it certainly cannot make the necessary investments to improve
its assets.  In light of the arrangement proceedings, and
according to the demands of most of the bondholders, as well as an
agreement that was signed on March 19, 2013, between Elbit and the
Trustees of six out of eight series of bonds, Elbit is prohibited,
inter alia, from paying off its debts to the financial creditors
-- and as a result a petition to liquidate Elbit was filed, and
Bank Hapoalim has declared its debts immediately payable,
threatening to realize pledges that were given to the Bank on
material assets of the Company -- and Elbit undertook not to sell
material assets of the Company and not to perform any transaction
that is not during its ordinary course of business without giving
an advance notice to the trustees.

Accountant Rony Elroy has been appointed as expert for examining
the debt arrangement in the Company.

In July 2013, Elbit Imaging's controlling shareholders, Europe-
Israel MMS Ltd. and Mr. Mordechay Zisser, notified the Company
that the Tel Aviv District Court has appointed Adv. Giroa Erdinast
as a receiver with regards to the ordinary shares of the Company
held by Europe Israel securing Europe Israel's obligations under
its loan agreement with Bank Hapoalim B.M.  The judgment stated
that the Receiver is not authorized to sell the Company's shares
at this stage.  Following a request of Europe-Israel, the Court
also delayed any action to be taken with regards to the sale of
those shares for a period of 60 days.  Europe Israel and
Mr. Zisser have also notified the Company that they utterly reject
the Bank's claims and intend to appeal the Court's ruling.

EMANUEL L. COHEN: Bank Hapoalim Opposes Plan Exclusivity Extension
---------------------------------------------=--------------------
Bank Hapoalim, B.M., objects to Emanuel L. Cohen's request for a
90-day extension of its exclusive plan filing period.

The Bank, which holds a claim against the Debtor for more than
$4.8 million, is the Debtor's single largest creditor.

The Bank contends that although identified as a Motion to Extend
the Debtor's exclusive period to file a plan, the Motion actually
appears to be seeking a 90-day extension of the Court's Oct. 3,
2014 deadline to file a plan and disclosure statement.

The Debtor is the 100% owner of D.I.T., Inc. and Salon's Best,
Inc., each of which have filed chapter 11 petitions.  Bank
Hapoalim says that at present, neither DIT nor Salon's Best has
any premises or business operations and their respective assets
have been sold for an aggregate gross purchase price of less than
$65,000, while their scheduled liabilities exceed $16 million and
$11 million, respectively.

Moreover, the Bank points out, the Debtor's sole source of income
is Social Security and the combined monthly expenses of the Debtor
and his wife, a non-debtor, reportedly exceeds their combined
monthly income by more than $20,000.

Bank Hapoalim contends that the Debtor has never articulated how
he intends to propose a plan under his circumstances -- -- (a) an
insolvent individual debtor who can't even keep up with his
monthly living expenses; (b) two non-operating debtors that have
less than $70,000 in (fully encumbered) liquid assets between
them; (c) no available financing; and (d) millions of dollars of
trade and other debt.

The Motion to Extend utterly fails to offer any justification for
the extension sought, the Bank maintains.

At the time the Debtor's Chapter 11 case was filed, the Bank
firmly believed that the Debtor had zero ability to propose a
feasible plan and the purpose for filing a petition was delay
simply for the sake of delay.  Nothing in the Motion changes the
Bank's opinion.

                     About Emanuel L. Cohen

Emanuel L. Cohen, D.I.T. Inc., and Salon's Best, Inc., filed
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Lead Case No.
14-23125) at West Palm Beach, Florida, on June 6, 2014.  D.I.T.
and Salon's Best disclosed $12 million in assets and debt.
Emanuel L. Cohen disclosed $6,699,546 in assets and $14,116,055 in
liabilities as of the Petition Date.  Kenneth S. Rappaport, Esq.,
at Rappaport Osborne & Rappaport, PL, in Boca Raton, Florida,
serves as counsel to the Debtors.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 25, 2014,
the U.S. Trustee notified the Bankruptcy Court that until further
notice, it will not appoint a committee of creditors pursuant to
Section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Court.


ENDEAVOUR INT'L: Proposes to Limit Trading to Protect NOLs
----------------------------------------------------------
Endeavour International Corporation and its debtor-affiliates seek
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to establish procedures to protect the potential value of
the Debtors' net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and certain
other tax attributes.

The Debtors estimate that they have incurred, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, at least $300 million of consolidated NOLs in
addition to certain other tax attributes, including built-in
(unrecognized) losses.

The NOLs and tax attributes may be valuable assets of the Debtors'
estates because the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
generally permits corporations to carry over their losses and tax
credits to offset future income, thereby reducing such
corporations' tax liability in future periods.

Because an "ownership change" may negatively impact the
utilization of their NOLs, the Debtors proposed these procedures:

   * Any "substantial equityholder" must serve and file a
declaration on or before the later of (i) 30 calendar days after
the date of the interim order approving the procedures and (ii) 10
days after becoming a substantial equityholder.

   * A "substantial equityholder" is any person or Entity that
beneficially owns at least:

      a. [___] shares of Endeavour's Series C Preferred Stock
(representing 4.75% of all shares of Endeavour's Series C
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding);

      b. 936 shares of Endeavour's Series B Preferred Stock
(representing 4.75% of all shares of Endeavour's Series B
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding); or

      c. 2,271,212 shares of Endeavour's common stock
(representing approximately 4.75% of all shares of Endeavour's
Common Stock issued and outstanding).

   * At least 20 business days prior to effectuating any transfer
of the equity securities that would result in another entity
becoming a substantial equityholder, the parties to such
transaction must serve and file a notice of the intended stock
transaction.

   * The Debtors and the statutory committee have 30 calendar days
after receipt of the stock transaction notice to object to the
proposed transaction.

   * If the Debtors do not object, the proposed transaction may
proceed.

   * Any transfer of the equity securities in violation of the
procedures will be null and void ab initio.

                         Trading In Claims

The Debtors also proposed procedures to limit claims trading in
the event a plan proponent determines that the reorganized Debtors
likely will benefit from the application of section 382(l)(5) of
the Tax Code and reasonably anticipates that the reorganized
Debtors will invoke such section (a "382(l)(5) Plan").

The Debtors explain that it is likely that any chapter 11 plan
that contemplates a reorganization of the Debtors will involve the
issuance of new common stock in the Debtors (or any successor to
the Debtors) and the distribution of such stock to certain
creditors in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of their
respective Claims against the Debtors.  This issuance and
distribution likely would result in an "ownership change" under
section 382 of the Tax Code. In such event, the Debtors may be
able to avail themselves of the special relief afforded by section
382(l)(5) of the Tax Code for ownership changes pursuant to a
confirmed chapter 11 or applicable court order.

ENERGY FUTURE: Warned Not to Trip Over Taxes in Oncor Sale
----------------------------------------------------------
Peg Brickley, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
U.S. tax authorities reminded everyone involved in Energy Future
Holdings Corp.'s bankruptcy case that when it comes to deciding
the shape of a pending major deal, the Internal Revenue Service is
making the rules.  According to the report, in a three-paragraph
filing on the proposed sale of Energy Future's stake in Oncor,
Acting Assistant Attorney General Tamara Ashford said the U.S.
will try to block "any bid that would generate a large unfunded
income tax liability."

                       About Energy Future

Energy Future Holdings Corp., formerly known as TXU Corp., is a
privately held diversified energy holding company with a portfolio
of competitive and regulated energy businesses in Texas.  Oncor,

The Debtors' cases have been assigned to Judge Christopher S.
Sontchi (CSS).  The Debtors are seeking to have their cases
jointly administered for procedural purposes.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, EFH Corp. reported total assets of $36.4

ENERGY FUTURE: Says Bonuses Consistent With Industry Standards
--------------------------------------------------------------
Energy Future Holdings Corp. is asking the Bankruptcy Court to
deny the objections lodged by the U.S. Trustee to its proposal to
continue its insider compensation programs.

Counsel to the Debtors, Jason M. Madron, Esq., at Richards, Layton
& Finger, P.A., notes that none of the Debtors' creditors, unions,
shareholders, or other constituents -- the direct economic
stakeholders in these companies -- have objected to the Debtors'
proposal to pay $20 million in executive bonuses.

Yet, the U.S. Trustee has lodged an objection to the Debtors'
motion on the ground that the programs "appear" to call for "pay
to stay payments" if the Debtors hit targets that "may" be "lay-
ups."  The core of the U.S. Trustee's objection is the argument
that the Debtors "have not met their burden of proof to show that
the Insider Bonus Plans are incentivizing."

The U.S. Trustee, Mr. Madron points out, never mentions the
extensive evidence submitted by the Debtors: (1) a 67-page
declaration from an independent energy expert, Todd Filsinger, who
demonstrates in excruciating detail why the metrics are, in his
words, "difficult to achieve, reasonable and fairly incentivize
plan participants"; and (2) a declaration from an independent
compensation consultant, Doug Friske, who explains that the
programs are consistent with market practice in design, structure,
and amount of potential compensation.

"It is on that basis -- and the evidence that will be presented at
trial -- that this Court should allow the Debtors to continue
their long-existing programs, without which the total compensation
potentially available for the Debtors' senior-most management
would lag well behind market," Mr. Madron tells the Court.

According to Energy Future, the total cost of the incentive
programs (the AIP, EAIP, and Key Leader Performance Program) is
approximately 0.73% of EFH's projected 2014 revenues of $11.23
billion and approximately 1.11% of TCEH's projected 2014 revenues
of $7.396 billion.  The Debtors' anticipated costs are within the
range of observed market practice: the median cost of annual
incentive programs, based on general industry data, as a
percentage of revenues is 0.69% and the 75th percentile is 1.15%.
The total compensation that might be awarded under these programs,
moreover, is well in line with -- if not below -- market.

objection is available for free at:

ENERGY FUTURE: Court Allows U.S. Trustee's Witness to Testify
-------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher S. Sontchi
in Wilmington, Del., allowed the U.S. Trustee's main witness in
opposing Energy Future Holdings Corp.'s bid to pay $20 million in
executive bonuses to testify despite the debtor's contention he's
a non-expert giving expert testimony.  According to the report,
during a trial over the bonus request, Judge Sontchi said the
inclusion of testimony from Michael T. Panacio, a bankruptcy
analyst and auditor with the U.S. Trustee's Office, may come close
to crossing the line of federal rules of evidence regarding expert
witnesses but ultimately ruled that the kind of analysis Panacio
used in his examination of EFH's bonus plan was not something that
required him to be an energy industry expert to calculate, and
thus sided against the debtor's position the auditor would be
giving expert testimony without being qualified to do so.

ESSAR STEEL: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to B2
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Essar Steel Algoma Inc.'s (ESA)
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating to
B2 and B2-PD respectively from Ca and Ca-PD respectively. At the
same time, Moody's assigned a Ba2 rating to the proposed ABL
revolver, a Ba3 rating to the proposed senior secured $350 million
term loan, a Ba3 rating to the proposed $350 million senior
secured notes, and a B3 rating to the proposed $275 million 3rd
lien secured notes. Upon completion of the refinancing Moody's
will withdraw the ratings on the senior secured ABL/term loan
(Caa1), the $400 million senior secured notes due 2015 (Caa2) and
the $384 million senior unsecured notes due 2015 (C). The SGL-4
speculative grade liquidity rating has been withdrawn as ESA no
longer provides public financial statements. The rating actions
reflect ESA's debt restructuring. Proceeds from the restructuring
will be used to repay the ABL/Term loan, the $400 million senior
secured notes and roughly 82% of the senior unsecured notes under
the cash payout option approved under the plan of arrangement by
the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The rating outlook is
stable.

The B2 CFR reflects ESA's improved capital structure following its
refinancing and recapitalization, which results in lower debt
levels and a strengthened equity position. The recapitalization
also includes ESA's ultimate parent, Essar Global Fund Limited and
its affiliates, providing roughly $400 million in support through
a combination of an equity infusion, the conversion of existing
obligations into preferred stock and the purchase of ESA's Port of
Algoma. The refinancing will result in an approximate $240 million
reduction in debt and improved liquidity.

The CFR considers the improved debt protection metrics and reduced
leverage of the company as a result of both the reduction in
absolute debt levels and improved earnings generation capability
going forward. Based on Moody's assumptions of future run rate
performance, leverage, as measured by the debt/EBITDA ratio, would
range between 4.8x and 5.2. A critical factor in the improved
fundamentals expected for the company is the lower cost production
profile on a go forward basis as a result of the renegotiation of
ESA's iron ore supply contract with Cliffs Natural Resources. With
contract pricing now more in line with the market, ESA should
exhibit a more competitive profile and earnings capacity. Actions
in recent years to reduce costs and improve productivity will also
continue to benefit performance.

At the same time, the CFR reflects the single-site location,
modest scale of the company (2.5 million tons produced in the year
ended March 31, 2014) and limited customer base. The rating also
considers ESA's greater dependency on predominately commodity
grades of steel. Although ESA has some value added steel
production, plate shipments have only represented about 14% on
average in recent years. Consequently, the ability to achieve and
sustain lower cost levels is critical to enhanced earnings
capability

Under Moody's loss given default methodology, the Ba2 rating on
the ABL revolver reflects its superior position in the capital
structure and the expectation of significant recovery given the
first priority claim on receivables and inventory among other
current assets. The Ba3 rating on both the term loan and senior
secured notes, which are secured principally by plant, property
and equipment and other non- current assets and have a second lien
on the collateral securing the ABL revolver, has a similarly good
recovery position in the debt waterfall although not as strong as
the ABL revolver facility. The ABL facility has a second lien on
the collateral securing the term loan and the senior secured
notes. The B3 rating on the 3rd lien secured notes reflects the
subordination of these instruments to a considerable amount of
other secured debt and the expectation of a considerable loss in
value in a default scenario. The ABL revolver, term loan and
secured notes benefit from the loss absorption capacity of ESA's
junior secured debt, as well as pension obligations and accounts
payable.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the ESA will
be able sustain an improved operating performance and debt
protection metrics given its more competitive cost structure and
the reduced level of debt in its capital structure. The outlook
also assumes that steel production levels and prices will evidence
less volatility over the next twelve to eighteen months than
experienced in recent years.

Given the single site location and cyclical nature inherent in the
steel industry, upward rating movement is unlikely over the next
twelve to eighteen months. However, should the company be able to
sustain leverage, as measured by the debt/EBITDA ratio of no more
than 4x and EBIT/interest of at least 3.5x, positive rating
momentum could result. Downward rating pressure would arise should
debt/EBITDA be sustained above 5x or EBIT/interest be less than
3x.

Headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, ESA is an
integrated steel producer. Approximately 80% to 85% of ESA's sales
are sheet products with plate products accounting for the balance.
For the 12 months ending December 31, 2013, ESA generated revenues
of C$1.8 billion.

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


ESSAR STEEL: S&P Assigns Prelim. 'B+' Rating on Proposed Sr. Debt
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its
preliminary 'B+' issue-level rating and '1' recovery rating to
Essar Steel Algoma Inc.'s (ESA) proposed senior secured revolving
asset-based loan (ABL), term loan, and notes.  A '1' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation of very high (90%-100%)
recovery in its default scenario.  Standard & Poor's also assigned
its preliminary 'B-' issue-level rating and '4' recovery rating to
the company's proposed junior secured notes.  A '4' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery
in the event of default (in the lower half of the recovery range).
All other ratings are unchanged.

The ratings will remain preliminary until the proposed debt
refinancing (US$975 million), equity injection  from Essar Global
Fund Ltd. (US$240 million), and sale of ESA's port facilities
(US$166 million) are completed, and all existing debt associated
with the restructuring is retired.  At that point, S&P expects to
raise the long-term corporate credit rating on ESA to 'B-' from
'SD' (selective default), and assign a stable outlook, once the
company emerges from creditor protection with a new capital
structure.

ESA mainly manufactures flat-rolled carbon steel, which makes up
about 80% of total shipments and competes in cyclical and capital-
intensive end markets.  A large share of its steel production is
commodity hot-rolled sheet, which limits differentiation from
competitors.

"The preliminary ratings on ESA reflect our expectation for very
high recovery prospects for the proposed senior secured
debtholders in our simulated default scenario," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Jarrett Bilous.  In S&P's view, the
refinancing will result in a reduction in the company's leverage
and is necessary to facilitate the completion of its restructuring
and emergence from creditor protection.  "The expected 'B' long-
term corporate credit rating on the company primarily reflects our
view of the company's prospective highly leveraged financial risk
profile and vulnerable business risk profile," Mr. Bilous added.


FERROUS MINER: Files for Chapter 11 in Delaware
-----------------------------------------------
Ferrous Miner Holdings, Ltd., and Global NAPs, Inc., sought
Chapter 11 protection in Delaware (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos.
14-12343 and 14-12344) on Oct. 14, 2014, without stating a reason.

Ferrous Miner and Global NAPs each estimated $10 million to $50
million in assets and $50 million to $100 million in debt.

The list of 20 largest unsecured claims against Ferrous Miner
includes a $35.7 million claim by Verizon New England Inc. on
account of a judgment and a $5.2 million claim by Southern New
England Telephone Company also on account of a judgment.  Ferrous
Miner says it cannot verify the accuracy of the amounts claimed by
creditor as the supporting information remains in the receiver's
sole possession.

The Debtors are represented by Michael Jason Barrie, Esq., at
Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP.

Frank T. Gangi, the sole director and 100% owner of the Debtors,
signed the bankruptcy petitions.


FLINTKOTE COMPANY: Insurer Freed From Asbestos Arbitration
----------------------------------------------------------
The Flintkote Company, one of the nation's former major supplier
of asbestos-based products, filed a motion to compel arbitration
on a theory of equitable estoppel against Aviva PLC, a non-
signatory to the agreement containing the arbitration clause at
issue.  Aviva appeals a district court's order compelling
arbitration and denying as moot Aviva's motion to dismiss or
transfer.  Applying Delaware law, the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Third Circuit concluded that Aviva is not equitably bound to
arbitrate on these facts.  Accordingly, the Third Circuit reversed
the District Court's order insofar as it compels arbitration, and
vacated the order to the extent that it denies as moot the motion
to dismiss or transfer.

"The record does not contain clear and convincing evidence that
Aviva embraced the Wellington Agreement by directly benefitting
from that agreement, consistently seeking to enforce that
agreement's provisions for Aviva's benefit, or suing to enforce
rights ostensibly arising under that agreement," the panel's
opinion states, Law360 related.  "The district court thus erred in
granting Flintkote's motion to compel arbitration on this basis,"
Law360 further related.

The case is FLINTKOTE COMPANY, v. AVIVA PLC, formerly known as
Commercial Union Assurance Company Ltd., Appellant, NO. 13-4055
(3d. Cir.).  A full-text copy of the Third Circuit's Decision
dated Oct. 9, 2014, is available at http://is.gd/xAHip1from

GBG RANCH: Guillermo Benavides Seeks Case Dismissal
---------------------------------------------------
Guillermo Benavides filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Texas seeking the dismissal of the
Chapter 11 case of GBG Ranch, Ltd.

Guillermo Benavides says that the undisputed facts show that the
Debtor is neither insolvent nor unable to pay its debts as they
become due.  He adds that the filed schedules of assets and
liabilities state under oath that the Debtor's assets greatly
exceed its liabilities -- assets total more than $50 million,
while alleged liabilities are less than $10 million.  He adds that
at the Sec. 341 Meeting of Creditors, the Debtor testified that it
is able to pay its current and regular operating expenses.

The Debtor further indicated that it filed for bankruptcy
protection because it currently owes a related entity controlled
by the same general partner as the Debtor $500,000 in litigation
costs advanced to it by such entity and because it will be unable
to pay its regular operating expenses as well as future litigation
costs

The Debtor's pretext for seeking bankruptcy protection is
contrived, Guillermo complains.  "In order for the Debtor to owe
the related entity the past litigation costs as stated, the Debtor
would have to ignore the prior agreement between all of the
related Benavides Family Entities to share the litigation costs on
a percentage basis.  Pursuant to the inter-company agreement, the
Debtor would only owe thirty percent of the funds advanced after
adjustments for the disproportionate amount of funds that the
Debtor itself has advanced."

The Debtor's contention that it will not be able to pay its normal
operating expenses in addition to future litigation costs is
equally contrived, Guillermo contends.

Guillermo relates that in reality, the Debtor filed its bankruptcy
proceeding, not because the Debtor is bankrupt, but because the
Debtor seeks a new venue for the related adversary proceeding
created by the removal of the state court litigation.  As a
result, he says, this bankruptcy filing is the continuation of a
pattern of Guero Benavides's abuse of procedural tools to attempt
to gain an unfair advantage over his brother.

Guillermo continues to say that after an unsuccessful attempt to
recuse the State District Judge presiding over the underlying
family disputes, Guero Benavides has now used his vote, and the
proxy vote of his 88-year old mother, to single-handedly authorize
this bankruptcy filing, and to strip Memo Benavides and the
Benavides brothers' nephew, Will Benavides, of the decision-making
power that Memo Benavides and Will Benavides had exercised for
years to successfully grow the businesses and provide for members
of their family.

Guillermon contends that the reason for this bankruptcy filing was
to create the automatic stay, interrupt and delay the injunction
hearing scheduled in the Consolidated Lawsuit before Judge Lopez,
provide a means to remove the Consolidated Lawsuit from the
jurisdiction of Judge Lopez, and to remove the agreed cap on the
payment of attorneys fees by the Debtor.

GLOBAL COMPUTER: U.S. Trustee Objects to McGuireWoods Employment
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judy A. Robbins, United States Trustee for Region 4, says she
objects to the employment of McGuireWoods, LLP, as attorney for
Global Computer Enterprises, Inc., dba GCE, arguing that:

   1. The application to approve the employment of McGuireWoods
      failed to disclose all the Attorney's connections with the
      debtor as required by Rule 2014(a) of the Federal Rules of
      Bankruptcy Procedure; and

   2. McGuireWoods is not a "disinterested person" as defined by
      the Bankruptcy Code and has an actual conflict of interest.

On information and belief, McGuireWoods is currently representing
the Debtor's sole shareholder, Ray Muslimani.  The U.S. Trustee
points out that this representation of the Debtor's sole
shareholder was disclosed at the initial debtor's conference but
the nature of the representation has not been disclosed.

                    About Global Computer

Global Computer Enterprises, Inc., dba GCE, is a cloud-based
"software as a service" provider, commonly referred to as a

11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Case No. 14-13290, Bankr. E.D. Va.) on
Sept. 4, 2014.  The case is assigned to Judge Robert G. Mayer.

The Debtor's counsel is David I. Swan, Esq., at McGuirewoods LLP,
in McLean, Virginia.  The Debtor's financial advisor is Weinsweig
Advisors.  The petition was signed by Mike Freeman, interim chief
operating officer.

Judge Mayer designated Mike Freeman to perform duties imposed upon
GCE by the Bankruptcy Code.


GLOBAL COMPUTER: U.S. Gov't. Objects to McGuireWoods Employment
---------------------------------------------------------------
The United States of America, a creditor in the bankruptcy case of
Global Computer Enterprises, Inc., dba GCE, objects to the
retention of McGuireWoods LLP as counsel to the extent that it
seeks to simultaneously represent the Debtor and the Debtor's
individual officers and creditors.

The United States objects to the retention of attorney McIntrye or
any other lawyer at the Firm that intends to represent the
Debtor's President, CEO, and sole shareholder, Muslimani.

The United States asserts that the Debtor has a fiduciary duty to
all creditors, which includes the obligation to ensure that only
legitimate claims are paid from estate assets.  Pursuing this
objective, the Debtor must investigate and, whenever possible,
dispute the validity of creditors' claims.  The United States
notes that Muslimani's interest, on the other hand, is to ensure
that the Debtor indemnifies him and pays his ongoing legal
expenses from estate assets to the greatest extent possible.
Thus, the United States points out, McGuireWoods cannot advance
the Debtor's interests without harming Muslimani's.

In the same thread, neither the Court nor any of the creditors can
have confidence that McGuireWoods will independently evaluate
Muslimani's alleged indemnification claim when it also also
represents Muslimani, the United States argues.

GT ADVANCED: Berger & Montague Files Securities Class Action
------------------------------------------------------------
(PR/Joy)

Berger & Montague, P.C. on Oct. 16 disclosed that it has filed a
securities class action lawsuit against certain of the executive
officers of GT Advanced Technologies Inc.  The action, which is
captioned Impagliazzo, et al. v. Gutierrez, 1:14-cv-00458
(D.N.H.), asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
on behalf of investors in GT securities during the period of
November 5, 2013 to 9:40 am Eastern Standard Time on October 6,
2014, inclusive.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period defendants made
statements which misrepresented and/or concealed GT's cash
position, expected cash position and revenues, ability to meet
certain milestones under a critical agreement with Apple for the
production of sapphire material, and the Company's development of
a facility that would produce the sapphire material.  These false
and misleading statements were made to the market in public
statements and in the offering materials for GT's offerings of
3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 and public offering of
common stock, both conducted on or around December 4, 2013.  On
October 6, 2014, the Company suddenly reversed course and
announced that it was experiencing a liquidity crisis and filed
for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Hampshire.  On this news, the price of GT stock
declined from $11.05 per share to $0.80 per share, or almost 93%.
Similarly, the price of the Company's 3.00% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2020, which had a face value of $1,000 per note,
declined from $1,083 per note to $315 per note, or almost 71%.

If you wish to serve as Lead Plaintiff for the Class, you must
file a motion with the Court no later than December 8, 2014.  This
class action case involves all persons who:

purchased GT's publicly traded securities between November 5, 2013
and 9:40 am Eastern Standard Time on October 6, 2014;
purchased securities in or traceable to the Company's public
offering of $214 million in principal amount of 3.00% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2020 conducted on or around December 4, 2013;
purchased securities in or traceable to GT's public offering of
9,942,196 shares of its common stock conducted on or around
December 4, 2013.

Any member of the proposed Class may move the Court to serve as
Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to
do nothing and remain a member of the proposed Class.

HALIFAX REGIONAL: Moody's Affirms Ba3 Rating on Series 1998 Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Ba3 rating assigned to
Halifax Regional Medical Center's Series 1998 bonds issued by the
North Carolina Medical Care Commission. The outlook has been
revised to stable from negative.

Summary Ratings Rationale

Affirmation of the Ba3 rating is attributable to Halifax's small
size, below average financial performance, and location in a
challenging market with a weak payor mix.

The outlook has been revised to stable following recent
improvement in financial performance and maintenance of stable
balance sheet metrics.

Strengths

-- Halifax's operating performance improved significantly in FY
    2014, following numerous initiatives to cut expenses and
    improve productivity. Moody's note, however, that operating
    revenue continues to fall due to patient volume pressure.

-- Halifax's cash position has remained stable over the last few
    years, and although small from an absolute perspective,
    liquidity is sufficient with 107 days cash on hand and 118%
    cash to direct debt, based on eleven months FY 2014. Moody's
    notes that the cash position has remained steady in part due
    to low capital spending and debt financing of other projects.

-- North Carolina began a provider fee program in FY 2012, which
    is providing approximately $3 million in net annual benefit
    to Halifax.

Challenges

-- An acquisition by Novant Health (A1 stable) that had been
    contemplated has been called off. The acquisition would have
    provided access to capital and a much stronger parent. Novant
    will continue to work with Halifax and provide management
    services.

-- Through eleven months FY 2013, inpatient volumes are down
    5.5% and although some volume has moved to observation
    status, total volumes are also down. Patient volume declines
    are contributing to lower operating revenue, which has
    declined approximately 1% in FY 2014. Although Halifax has an
    improved operating cash flow margin through eleven months FY
    2014, Moody's believes the long term trend of declining
    volumes and the resulting revenue pressure, will make it
    increasingly difficult to achieve consistent operating cash
    flow margins.

-- Small absolute size of the hospital makes it susceptible to
    physician departures, which have contributed to the variation
    in operating performance and patient volume fluctuations

-- High exposure to Medicare and Medicaid, comprising a combined
    73% of patient volume in FY 2013

Outlook

Revision in the outlook to stable reflects improved operating
performance and stable balance sheet metrics.

What Could Make The Rating Go UP

Over the long term, an upgrade would be considered if Halifax
improves operating performance and achieves stability in patient
volumes.

What Could Make The Rating Go DOWN

The rating could be downgraded if Halifax's operating performance
deteriorates from current levels, or if cash balances decline.
Additional factors that could result in a downgrade include
material capital or borrowing plans that must be funded solely by
Halifax, or loss of key physicians.

Rating Methodology

The principal methodology used in this rating was Not-for-Profit
Healthcare Rating Methodology published in March 2012.


HBC HOLDINGS: Moody's Revises $100-Mil. Term Loan Rating to Caa1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised the rating on HBC Holdings LLC's
(d.b.a. Hardware Holdings) $100 million first lien senior secured
term loan due 2020 to Caa1 from Caa2. At the same time, Moody's
affirmed the company's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and
Caa1-PD Probability of Default Rating. The rating outlook is
stable.

The upgrade of the first lien term loan rating to Caa1 reflects
the change in the company's financing structure in connection with
the acquisition of Jones Stephens, an Alabama-based specialty
plumbing products distributor, and repayment of Hardware Holdings'
prior debt. While the total debt amount in the new structure is
unchanged, the inclusion of a second lien instrument provides loss
absorption cushion, which results in a rating uplift on the $100
million first lien senior secured term loan.

The revised capital structure consists of a $100 million first
lien senior secured term loan due March 2020 (originally $155
million maturing in 2021), a new $55 million second lien term loan
due September 2020, and a $40 million asset-based revolving credit
facility due 2019 (unchanged). The first lien term loan has a
first priority interest in substantially all tangible and
intangible assets (other than the ABL collateral) of the borrowers
and the guarantors and a second priority interest in working
capital assets (unchanged). The ABL facility continues to benefit
from the first priority interest in working capital assets;
however, its lien on the term loan collateral is subordinated to
the liens held by the term loan lenders. The second lien term loan
is secured on a second priority basis by the term loan collateral
and on a third priority basis by the ABL collateral. Moody's does
not believe the increase in interest expense due to the inclusion
of the higher-rate second lien term loan is material enough to
affect the company's CFR.

Moody's took the following rating actions:

Issuer: HBC Holdings LLC (along with co-issuers):

  $100 million first lien senior secured term loan due 2020,
  revised to Caa1 (LGD4) from Caa2 (LGD4);

Issuer: HBC Holdings LLC:

  Corporate Family Rating, affirmed at Caa1;

  Probability of Default Rating, affirmed at Caa1-PD;

  The rating outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The Caa1 CFR reflects the company's small size and scale compared
to peers, acquisition driven growth strategy and the associated
potential integration and synergy realization risks, very high pro
forma debt leverage, low operating margins inherent to the
distribution business model, limited time in the company's current
configuration, and potential long-term shareholder-friendly
actions given the private equity ownership. Moody's estimates pro
forma debt-to-EBITDA at June 30, 2014 to be approximately 7.0x
(incorporating Moody's standard adjustments), taking into
consideration the improving run rate performance of Handy
Holdings, which was acquired in 2013. Handy Holdings' operating
losses are narrowing, but its very low operating margins are
dilutive to Hardware Holdings' overall profitability. The
company's rating is supported by the variety of its product
offerings and distribution channels, solid product sourcing
capabilities, and low customer concentration. Additionally, the
rating is supported by the positive trends in the repair and
remodeling market and the expected cost savings to be achieved
through consolidation and procurement initiatives in connection
with recent and contemplated acquisitions.

The company has an adequate liquidity profile, supported by the
$40 million ABL revolving credit facility expiring in 2019, $17
million of which was available after closing of the transaction.
However, liquidity is constrained by limited cash balances and
Moody's expectation for low free cash flow generation, as well as
by maximum permitted leverage covenants in the first and second
lien term loans that include quarterly step-downs.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation for
successful integration of recent and contemplated acquisitions,
modest EBITDA improvement through cost synergy realizations and
associated declines in adjusted debt leverage in the intermediate
term.

The ratings could be pressured if cost synergy achievements take
longer than anticipated, if product volumes and revenues decline,
causing earnings to weaken such that leverage remains elevated for
an extended period of time, or if liquidity deteriorates.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company builds size and
scale, improves profitability and earnings through synergy
realizations such that debt-to-EBITDA leverage declines and is
sustained below 6.0x, and generates positive free cash flow, while
successfully integrating acquisitions and maintaining sufficient
liquidity.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global
Distribution & Supply Chain Services published in November 2011.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Hardware Holdings, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Cranbury,
New Jersey, is a multi-channel distributor of hardware, plumbing
and household products. The company's product offering consists of
over 75,000 SKUs and distribution channels include local retail
stores, industrial suppliers, national retailers, food and drug
stores. In 2012, Hardware Holdings was acquired by Littlejohn &
Co. (the sponsor). The company's pro forma revenues for the LTM
period ending June 30, 2014 including recent and contemplated
acquisitions were approximately $440 million.


HEALTH NET: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' IDR & Revises Outlook to Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Health Net Inc.'s 'BB+' Issuer Default
rating, 'BB' senior unsecured notes rating and the 'BBB' Insurer
Financial Strength (IFS) ratings of its insurance company
subsidiaries.  The Rating Outlook is revised to Positive from
Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The revised Rating Outlook on Health Net reflects improved and
more consistent earnings and Fitch's expectation that these trends
will continue through the balance of 2014.  The rating also
considers Health Net's overall 'medium' market position and
size/scale features, which typically span the 'A' and 'BBB' IFS
rating categories.  Further, most of Health Net's capitalization
metrics are comparable with Fitch's median guidelines for the 'A'
IFS rating category or higher.

Profitability of individual business sourced on exchanges
established through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) remains a
concern.  Further, Fitch is monitoring the impact of Health Net's
growing Medicaid enrollment, which is typically viewed as lower
margin and lower credit-quality than commercial business.

Health Net's earnings in the first half of 2014 remained
consistent with the improvement seen during 2013.  The company
reported EBITDA margin of 3% during the first six months of 2014,
which is consistent with Fitch's 'BBB' IFS rating category
guideline.  The company's return on average capital was 13.4% in
the first half of 2014.  The return ratio was elevated by a one-
time tax benefit of nearly $73 million from the loss on the stock
of a subsidiary.

Health Net appears to have successfully repositioned its
commercial business and has reported favorable experience in its
growing Medicaid business.  Importantly, earnings disruptions that
created material volatility in past years were absent from 2013
and year-to-date 2014 results.

Fitch considers Health Net's market position consistent with its
'medium' categorization given the company mix of commercial,
Medicaid, and Medicare enrollment and sizeable market share in
California, and expanding presence in three other Western states.
Health Net's size and scale metrics are also considered consistent
with Fitch's 'medium' categorization when measured by medical
membership of 5.8 million individuals and total revenue of
approximately $11 billion for the full year 2013.

Health Net's year-end 2014 NAIC RBC ratio is expected to be near
200% of the company action level.  Management targets an NAIC RBC
ratio of 200%, excluding Health Net Community Solutions, for its
underwriting subsidiaries.  This RBC ratio remains consistent with
Fitch's median guideline of 175% for the 'BBB' IFS rating
category.

The company's ratio of debt to EBITDA was 1.4x and operating
EBITDA to interest expense was 12.4x during the first half of
2014.  Both ratios were better than Fitch's median guidelines for
the current rating category.  Fitch does not expect Health Net to
materially change its capitalization profile and a significant
increase in financial leverage would put downward pressure on
ratings.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Key ratings triggers that could lead to an upgrade for Health Net
include:

   -- Continuation of current operating results, specifically,
      EBITDA margin exceeding 3% or greater and return on average
      capital in the high single digits;

   -- Maintenance of consolidated Risk-Based Capital (RBC) above
      200% of the Company Action Level (CAL) and debt-to-EBITDA
      below 2.5x;

   -- Flat-to-favorable reserve development.

Key ratings triggers that could lead to downgrade for Health Net
include:

   -- Poor earnings results measured by EBITDA margin below 1%;

   -- A significant decline in consolidated RBC below 175% of the
      CAL or debt-to-EBITDA greater than 3.0x.

Fitch has affirmed these ratings with a Positive Rating Outlook:

Health Net Inc.

   -- Long-term IDR at 'BB+';
   -- 6.375% senior notes due June 2017 at 'BB'.

Health Net Of California, Inc.
Health Net of Arizona, Inc.
Health Net Health Plan of Oregon, Inc.

   -- IFS at 'BBB'.

INT'L MANUFACTURING: Ch.11 Trustee Taps Judge Newsome as Mediator
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Robert S. Bardwil of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of California authorized Beverly N. McFarland,
Chapter 11 trustee for International Manufacturing Group Inc., to
appoint retired bankruptcy judge Randal J. Newsome as mediator to
assist parties in interest in negotiating a resolution of their
disputes with respect to IMGF Funding LLC.

The Court also authorized the Chapter 11 trustee to pay the
bankruptcy estate's portion of the mediation fees up to $5,000.

The Debtor told the Court that Judge Newsome has agreed to preside
over the mediation with mediation fees to be capped at $10,000.
The mediation fees will be divided equally between IMGF Funding
and the Debtor.

According to court document, nearly all of the Debtor's scheduled
general unsecured creditors are alleged victims of the Ponzi
scheme, including secured creditor IMGF Funding.  The Debtor is
alleged to have been involved in a massive Ponzi scheme with its
Debtor's president and sole shareholder, Deepal Sunil
Wannakuwatte, channeling in excess of $120 million in investor
funds through Debtor and related entity bank accounts over several
years, and defrauding over one hundred victims in the process,
primarily individuals, corporate entities, and possibly some
financial institutions.

IMGF Funding asserted a security interest in all of the Debtor's
Business assets to secure a prepetition advance of $2,303,000 to
the Debtor in February 2014, based on an unsigned promissory note,
and loan and security agreement.  IMGF Funding also asserted that
it was defrauded by Mr. Wannakuwatte shortly before Mr.
Wannakuwatte was taken into custody on Feb. 21, 2014.

On Feb. 28, 2014, IMGF Funding sued the Debtor and Mr.
Wannakuwatte in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of California, Case No. 2:14-cv-00583-JAMDAD.  IMGF
Funding obtained a temporary restraining order on March 3, 2014
and preliminary injunction on March 14, 2014 in the District Court
Action.  The Business was shut down for approximately two weeks
resulting from the preliminary injunction suffering irreparable
harm to sales and staff, losing half of its employees.  IMGF
Funding asserted it is entitled to impress a constructive trust
over $564,535 held in the Debtor's accounts and an additional
$723,825 in accounts held by other integrally related entities
that will likely be substantively consolidated into the Debtor in
the near future.

The mediation started on Oct. 14, 2014.

INVERSIONES ALSACIA: Chile Bus Operator Files U.S. Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Corrigan, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
the Inversiones Alsacia S.A., the public bus operator in Santiago,
Chile, filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. with plans to restructure
$368 million in debt.  According to the report, the company and
several affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection with a
prepackaged plan -- meaning a sufficient number of creditors have
already approved its restructuring proposal -- in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Manhattan.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, Alsacia,
together with Express de Santiago Uno S.A. and their subsidiaries
and affiliates, on Sept. 15 disclosed that it has commenced
solicitation of votes for a prepackaged plan of reorganization to
be filed under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
The solicitation is being carried out pursuant to a disclosure
statement dated September 15, 2014.

Under the terms and conditions of the Plan, qualified holders of

                           *     *     *

In September 2014, Moody's Investors Service confirmed the senior
secured Caa3 rating of Inversiones Alsacia S.A. and changed the
rating outlook to negative concluding the rating review that was
initiated on August 20.  The rating confirmation at Caa3 reflects
Moody's current assessment of the expected loss to bondholders
following the payment default of required interest and principal
that occurred on August 18, and the subsequent announcement that
the notes would be restructured. Specifically, the Caa3 rating
incorporates the view that based upon Moody's understanding of the
restructuring proposal and Moody's belief that the restructuring
will be executed as contemplated, recovery prospects for current
bond holders should exceed 65%.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Says RMBS Dispute Could Imperil Recoveries
-----------------------------------------------------------
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported
that the team winding down Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is
accusing some of nation's financial institutions of trying to
freeze billions of dollars of Lehman cash earmarked for other
creditors to "coerce" a favorable settlement in their fight with
the failed investment bank over soured mortgage loans.  According
to the report, in a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New
York, lawyers for Lehman blasted the trustees responsible for some
255 individual residential mortgage-backed securities trusts that
purchased mortgage loans from Lehman before the financial crisis.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, citing
The Wall Street Journal, some of the largest financial
institutions in the U.S., which serve as trustees for residential
mortgage-backed securities trusts, said Lehman Brothers needs to
set aside $12.14 billion to settle claims over certain soured
mortgage loans, more than double what the failed investment bank
has currently set aside for the dispute.  Lawyers for the trustees
said in a filing with the Bankruptcy Court that an independent
review of the loans packaged and sold by Lehman before the
financial crisis shows Lehman's liability is much worse than the
original $5 billion estimate.

                      About Lehman Brothers

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. -- http://www.lehman.com/-- was the
fourth largest investment bank in the United States.  For more

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered
an order commencing liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc., pursuant
to the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act (Case
No. 08-CIV-8119 (GEL)).  James W. Giddens has been appointed as
trustee for the SIPA liquidation of the business of LBI.

The Bankruptcy Court has approved Barclays Bank Plc's purchase of
Lehman Brothers' North American investment banking and capital
markets operations and supporting infrastructure for
US$1.75 billion.  Nomura Holdings Inc., the largest brokerage

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Holders of Giants Stadium Claims Seek Payment
--------------------------------------------------------------
Giants Stadium LLC has filed papers urging the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Manhattan to allow $600 million-plus in claims against
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. related to interest-rate swaps used
to finance the East Rutherford, N.J., football stadium, various
news sources reported.

According to Joseph Checkler, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review,
Giants Stadium filed a partially redacted filing with the
bankruptcy court, arguing, according to Bill Rochelle and Sherri
Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg News, that the stadium
was financed in part with $408.3 million in synthetic long-term
fixed-rate note.  Lehman, the Bloomberg report pointed out, Lehman
doesn't agree with Giants Stadium and initiated a lawsuit in
bankruptcy court in October 2013 contending that Giants Stadium
was liable for $94 million.

The lawsuit is Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. Giants Stadium
LLC, 13-ap-01554, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New

Naartjie Custom Kids, Inc., which designs, manufactures and sells
children's clothing, accessories and footwear for ages newborn
through 10 years old, sought protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on Sept. 12, 2014 (Bankr. D. Utah Case No. 14-
29666).  The case is assigned to Judge William T. Thurman.

The Debtor's counsel is Annette W. Jarvis, Esq., Jeffrey M.
Armington, Esq., Benjamin J. Kotter, Esq., and Michael F. Thomson,
Esq., at Dorsey & Whitney LLP, in Salt Lake City, Utah.


NAARTJIE CUSTOM: Has Until April 2015 on Lease-Related Decisions
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. William T. Thurman of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Utah set April 11, 2015, as deadline for Naartjie
Custom Kids Inc. to assume, assume and assign, or reject its
leases.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 1, 2014, all
of the Debtor's unexpired leases are set to be automatically
rejected as of Jan. 10, 2015.

After a history of declining sales and failed refinancing
processes, the Debtor has concluded that the best way to maximize
value for the benefit of all interested parties is to conduct a
prompt and orderly closing of all its 55 retail stores in the U.S
through the retention of a professional liquidator.  The Debtor
says in its Sept. 26, 2014 court filing that as part of the
proposed liquidation, the Debtor anticipates that it will close
the retail stores at various times during the liquidation as the
inventory and assets from one retail store is either completely
liquidated or moved to another retail store, as the case may be.

"If the current lease rejection deadline is not extended, then any
further extension of the sale termination date to provide
additional time for liquidation of the Debtor's assets at its
retail stores would not be possible.  And, because the Debtor is
not able to determine at this point when each individual retail
store, distribution center or other place of business will be
closed -- which timing is dependent on the success of the proposed
liquidation -- a global 90-day extension of the current lease
rejection deadline is appropriate and will conserve estate and
court resources.  In sum, if the Debtor is forced to assume the
leases at this time, the estate may be unnecessarily burdened with
administrative expenses.  On the other hand, premature rejection
of the leases may leave the Debtor without a retail store location
to conduct the proposed liquidation, thereby crippling the
Debtor's ability to effectively liquidate its assets to maximize
recovery for the benefit of creditors," the Debtor stated.

NETBANK INC: Supreme Court Case Pits Bank Owners Against FDIC
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that the U.S. Supreme Court will have an
opportunity to decide whether the property of a bankrupt bank
belongs to the holding company that owns the bank or the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp., which becomes receiver of the bank.
According to the report, in the NetBank case, the U.S. Court of
Appeals in Atlanta last year awarded the refund to the FDIC as
receiver, and not to the holding company.  In March, NetBank's
liquidating trustee asked the Supreme Court to resolve what he
called a split among appeals courts on what the FDIC should be
forced to prove before establishing a so-called constructive trust
that gives the refund to the bank, even though the refund was
payable to the holding company, the report said.

The NetBank case in the Supreme Court is Zucker v. Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp., 13-1480, U.S. Supreme Court (Washington).

Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on Oct. 14, 2014, its annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Terry L. Johnson, CPA, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing that the
Company has incurred a deficit of $26 million and has used
approximately $44 million of cash due to its operating activities
in the two years ended June 30, 2014.  The Company may not have
adequate readily available resources to fund operations through
June 30, 2015.

The Company reported a net loss of $15.53 million on $265,748 of
revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, compared with a
net loss of $2.97 million on $359,143 of revenues in 2013.

in total assets, $13.22 million in total liabilities, and a

replaced Patrick Rodgers, CPA, P.A., as the Company's independent
accountant.

Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred losses since

motion for an order further extending by 60 days through and
including Dec. 5, 2014, the time by which it may file notices of
removal with respect to civil actions pending as of the Petition
Date.

Counsel to the Debtor, John H. Genovese, Esq., at Genovese Joblove

present, among other things, the Debtor has focused its efforts
upon completing all necessary requirements in connection with the
issuance and sale of a tax credit voucher from the State of
Connecticut and the preparation and filing of a Disclosure
Statement and Plan of Liquidation.  On Aug. 25, 2014, the Court

("AMC").  On Sept. 25, 2014, the Court entered an order
approving the retention of Jones Day.  Now that the Jones Day
retention application has been approved, the Debtor and Jones Day
need additional time to analyze whether the ABC Litigation should
be removed.  The Debtor also believe it needs additional time to
determine if any of the other pending litigation should be removed
and will work diligently towards a decision.

A hearing is slated for Nov. 25, 2014.  Objections are due Nov.
18.

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Most Suits v. Originators Go to Minnesota
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that Residential Capital LLC for the most part must
pursue lawsuits in federal court in Minnesota against lenders who
sold it allegedly defective home mortgages unless ResCap and the
mortgage originator had agreed that suits could be filed in New
York.

According to the report, the latest ruling handed down by U.S.
District Judge John G. Koeltl in New York in a case involving PHH
Mortgage Corp., which sold ResCap almost $1 billion of mortgages,
held that constitutional considerations required removing the PHH
suit from bankruptcy court even though it was described by ResCap
as a counterclaim against the mortgage originator's $168,000 claim
in the bankruptcy.  After taking the suit away from the bankruptcy
judge, Judge Koeltl sent the case to Minnesota to comply with the
parties' so-called forum selection clause, the report related.

The suit is ResCap Liquidating Trust v. PHH Mortgage Corp., 14-cv-
05315, U.S. District Court, Southern District New York
(Manhattan).

RITE AID: Inks Stock Trading Plan With Executive Officers
---------------------------------------------------------
John T. Standley, chairman and chief executive officer of Rite Aid
Corporation entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan to
exercise his options to purchase a limited number of shares of the

shares acquired on exercise for personal financial management
purposes.

On Oct. 13, 2014, Kenneth Martindale, president and chief

The Standley 10b5-1 Plan allows for the exercise of options to
purchase a maximum of 1.7 million shares of Common Stock if the
Common Stock reaches a specified market price during the period
commencing Dec. 22, 2014, and continuing until the options to
purchase all 1.7 million shares have been exercised and the
acquired shares sold, or Sept. 18, 2015, whichever occurs first.

575,975 shares have been exercised and the acquired shares sold,
or June 18, 2015, whichever occurs first.  The shares acquired
upon exercise will be sold contemporaneously with the exercise.

Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which permit persons to enter into a pre-arranged plan
for buying or selling Company stock at a time when such person is
not in possession of material, nonpublic information about the
Company.  Messrs. Standley, Martindale and Strassler will continue
to be subject to the Company's stock ownership guidelines, and the
sales contemplated by the Plans will not reduce Mr. Standley's,
Mr. Martindale's or Mr. Strassler's ownership of Common Stock
below the levels required by the guidelines.

RIVER-BLUFF: Files First Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------
River Bluff Enterprises, Inc. filed with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington its First
Amended Disclosure Statement to accompany its First Amended
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, dated September 24, 2014.

The Plan provides for the reorganization of the Debtor's estate,
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.

For the purpose of the Projections, the Debtor estimates that the
Confirmation Date will occur on December 18, 2014, and, hence, the
Effective Date will occur on February 18, 2015.

The Plan provides for these classifications of Claims and
Interests:

   * Class 1 - Allowed Secured Claims for Property Taxes;
   * Class 2 - Allowed Unsecured Priority Claims;
   * Class 3 - Allowed Secured Claim of Berkadia;
   * Class 4 - Allowed Secured Claim of Chase (Plaza Apartments);
   * Class 5 - Allowed Secured Claim of Chase (Sierra Manor);
   * Class 6 - The Allowed Secured Claim of US Bank;
   * Class 7 - Allowed Secured Claim of Alpine;
   * Class 8 - Allowed General Unsecured Claims;
   * Class 9 - The Allowed Unsecured Claim of Alpine;
   * Class 10 - The Allowed Unsecured Claim of Marcus Haney; and
   * Class 11 - Shareholder Interests.

Certain types of claims are automatically entitled to specific
treatment under the Bankruptcy Code.  The Unclassified Claims
under the Plan are Administrative Expenses and Priority Tax
Claims, which will be paid according to the Bankruptcy Code.

            Implementation and Execution of the Plan

The Debtor and Guarantors anticipate that the Plan will be funded
principally by a future net cash flow from the future operations
of the Debtor, and in large part by a sale of the Medical
Building, a real property with three-story 34,541-square-foot
office building and improvements located in Ellensburg,
Washington.

The Debtor anticipates that Effective Date payments required under
the Plan will be funded by Cash available at the time of
Confirmation.

The Debtor projects that the future rents generated by the Modesto
9th St. property and the Sierra Manor property will be more than
sufficient to continue to service the loans of the holders of the
Allowed Class 3 and Class 5 Claims.

The Debtor will fund the distributions to the Allowed Class 6
Claim through a combination of the continued operation of the
Medical Building, and a subsequent sale of the Building on or
before the maturity date of the restated obligations as provided
for under the Plan.

Under the Plan, Unsecured Claims which are included in Classes 8
are being paid their Allowed Claims in full.  The holders of the
Allowed Class 9 and 10 unsecured claims will also be paid their
allowed claim in full.  Accordingly, all Unsecured Creditors
provided for under the Plan will be paid 100% of their Allowed
Claims, unless they have otherwise consented to a less favorable
treatment which would allow for the separate classification of
those Claims being paid less than 100% of their Allowed Claims.

                   Management and Compensation

Upon confirmation, the Reorganized Debtor will continue to employ
the Management -- Roger Haney, Byron Haney and Eric Layman in
their capacity as officers, directors, and shareholders of the
Debtor -- to perform the day to day management of the Debtor's
business.

The Debtor will continue to pay Roger Haney a monthly salary of
$3,000 month.

Byron Haney will continue to act on behalf of the Debtor as the
leasing agent for the Medical Building.  Dr. Haney will not be
compensated for his services in this capacity.

Ellensburg, Washington-based River-Bluff Enterprises, Inc., filed
a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. E.D. Wash. Case No. 14-
00843) on March 11, 2014.  In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed
$10,231,777 in total assets and $17,609,653 in total liabilities.

This is River-Bluff's second bankruptcy filing in less than two
years.  It previously sought bankruptcy protection (Bankr. E.D.
Cal. Case No. 12-92017) in Modesto, California, in July 2012.  The
case was dismissed in 2013.

Gary W. Dryer, Assistant U.S. Trustee for Region 18, informed the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington that
due to the lack of entities eligible to serve on the unsecured
creditors' committee, the U.S. Trustee is not appointing an
unsecured creditors' committee in the Chapter 11 case of River-
Bluff Enterprises, Inc.


RIVER-BLUFF: U.S. Bank Says Plan Has Insufficient Information
-------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bank National Association, a secured creditor, objects to the
approval of River-Bluff Enterprises, Inc.'s Disclosure Statement
accompanying the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
filed on September 24, 2014, on the grounds that it does not
contain information, of a kind and in sufficient detail that would
enable a hypothetical, reasonable investor, typical of the holders
of claims, to make an informed judgment about the proposed Plan.

The Disclosure Statement still contains blanks regarding material
information, including information regarding the Debtor's history
and the amount of payments the Debtor proposes to pay to the
Alpine Townhouse Apartments, LLC, Teresa H. Pearson, Esq., at
Miller Nash LLP, in Portland, Oregon --
teresa.pearson@millernash.com -- tells the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington.

Ms. Pearson contends that the Disclosure Statement does not
consistently describe the amount of the Debtor's debt to U.S.
Bank.  In one place, she notes, the Disclosure Statement describes
the debt as $5,441,431.75, but in another place, describes the
debt as $5,439,995.55.  She adds that the Debtor does not indicate
whether it disputes the debt as described in U.S. Bank's proof of
claim.

The Debtor scheduled the debt to U.S. Bank as a disputed claim,
Ms. Pearson says.  She asserts that the Disclosure Statement
should explain (a) whether the Debtor actually disputes the amount
of U.S. Bank's filed proof of claim, and (b), if Debtor does
dispute the claim, the basis for the dispute and how much the
Debtor believes is actually owed on the claim.

Among other things, U.S. Bank contends that the Disclosure
Statement fails to:

   -- explain why the Debtor needs 120 days after confirmation to
      object to claims, when there are only four proofs of claim
      filed in this case;

   -- describe the Debtor's opinion or any other evidence of the
      value of U.S. Bank's collateral;

   -- explain how the Debtor will obtain the legal right to
      disallow the late charges and default interest owed to U.S.
      Bank;

   -- explain what will happen to U.S. Bank's cash collateral;
      and

   -- explain when the restructured obligation to U.S. Bank would
      mature.

RIVER-BLUFF: UST Says Disclosure Statement "Lacking" in Info
------------------------------------------------------------
Gail Brehm Geiger, Acting United States Trustee for Region 18,
objects to River-Bluff Enterprises, Inc.'s First Amended
Disclosure Statement accompanying its First Amended Chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization because that statement is lacking.

The treatment of U.S. Bank is not accurately reflected in the
projections, the Trustee tells the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Washington.  The Trustee notes that
the treatment of U. S Bank is $39,000 per month for 12 months,
then $41,000 per month for the next 48 months, but the projections
reflect only $26,000 per month.

The Trustee asserts that if the additional $13,000 is added to the
2015 expenses, the operating cash projections for the year of the
Ellensburg property is reduced to a net of $35,940, which makes
the feasibility dependent on adding the new tenants by the middle
of 2015.  The Trustee contends that the Disclosure Statement may
need a better description of the situation of adding new tenants.

The use of any net proceeds from the sale of the Ellensburg
property is not promised to pay the unsecured creditors, the
Trustee also contends.  The Trustee asserts that the insiders
apparently are permitted to direct the use of those funds and the
Plan and Disclosure Statement are silent about those uses.  The
Trustee insists that uses of the net proceeds of sale should
explicitly be described.

The Trustee further contends, among other things, that the
necessity of the "skip a payment" provision in the treatment of
Berkadia and Chase is not described.  The Trustee argues that an
explanation of why that impairment is needed for business purposes
is a necessary foundation especially when the "skip a payment"
provision is not reflected in the projections.

SEARS HOLDINGS: Turns to Blogosphere to Defend Financial Health
---------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Sears Holdings Corp. went on the offensive
against market chatter about its possible liquidity troubles,
saying that it has "significant financial flexibility" to execute
an operational reorganization and that analysts and the press are
wrong to report otherwise.  According to the report, a defiant
post entitled "Setting the Record Straight" on Sears' corporate
blog sought to counter a damaging Bloomberg News article claiming
that an unnamed vendor had halted shipments to the retailer after
its credit insurance providers began attempting to cancel
coverage.

                            About Sears

Sears Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SHLD) --
http://www.searsholdings.com/-- is an integrated retailer focused
on seamlessly connecting the digital and physical shopping
experiences to serve members.  Sears Holdings is home to Shop Your
Waytm, a social shopping platform offering members rewards for
shopping at Sears and Kmart as well as with other retail partners
across categories important to them.

The company operates through its subsidiaries, including Sears,
Roebuck and Co. and Kmart Corporation, with more than 2,000 full-
line and specialty retail stores in the United States and Canada.

Kmart Corporation and 37 of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Lead Case No. 02-02474) on
Jan. 22, 2002.  Kmart emerged from chapter 11 protection on May 6,
2003, pursuant to the terms of an Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization.  Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP,
represented Kmart in its restructuring efforts.  Its balance sheet
showed $16,287,000,000 in assets and $10,348,000,000 in debts when
it sought chapter 11 protection.

Kmart bought Sears, Roebuck & Co., for $11 billion to create the
third-largest U.S. retailer, behind Wal-Mart and Target, and
generate $55 billion in annual revenues.  Kmart completed its
merger with Sears on March 24, 2005.

Sears Holdings reported a net loss of $1.36 billion in 2013, a net
loss of $930 million in 2012 and a net loss of $3.14 billion in
2011.  As of Aug. 2, 2014, Sears Holdings had $16.43 billion in
total assets, $15.51 billion in total liabilities and $919 million
in total equity.

                            *     *     *

Moody's Investors Service in January 2014 downgraded Sears
Holdings Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3.  The rating
outlook is stable.

The downgrade reflects the accelerating negative performance of
Sears' domestic business with comparable sales falling 7.4% for
the quarter to date ending January 6th, 2014 compared to the prior
year.  The company now expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA to decline
to a range of ($80 million) to $20 million for the fourth fiscal
quarter, compared with $365 million in the year prior period. For
the full year, Sears expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA loss between
$(308) million and $(408) million, as compared to $557 million
last year. Moody's expects full year cash burn (after capital
spending, interest and pension funding) to be around $1.2 billion
in 2013 and we expect Sears' cash burn to remain well above $1
billion in 2014. "Operating performance for fiscal 2013 is
meaningfully weaker than our previous expectations, and we expect
negative trends in performance to persist into 2014" said Moody's
Vice President Scott Tuhy.  He added "While Sears noted improved
engagement metrics for its "Shop Your Way" Rewards program,
Moody's remains uncertain when these improved engagement metrics
will lead to stabilization of operating performance."

As reported by the TCR on March 26, 2014, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on the Hoffman Estate, Ill.-
based Sears Holdings Corp., including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating.

Fitch Ratings had downgraded its long-term Issuer Default Ratings
(IDR) on Sears Holdings Corporation (Holdings) and its various
subsidiary entities (collectively, Sears) to 'CC' from 'CCC',
according to a TCR report dated Sept. 12, 2014.


SEARS HOLDINGS: Drops After Insurers Said to Cut Supplier Coverage
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that Sears Holdings Corp. dropped 4.8 percent in
New York trading on Oct. 8 after Bloomberg reported that three
providers of credit insurance either canceled or cut back coverage
for the retailer's suppliers.  According to the report, citing
people familiar with the matter, Euler Hermes Group is canceling
coverage, Coface SA indicated it intends to do the same, and
Atradius Credit Insurance said it's scaling back coverage, though
the firm hasn't yet pulled policies.

The Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based chain's shares, on Oct. 8,
plunged as much as 17 percent to $25.05 on the news before
climbing back to $28.85, the Bloomberg report said.

Sears Holdings' $1.234 billion in 6.625 percent second-lien bonds
due 2018 traded at 2:10 p.m. on Oct. 8 for 87.3 cents on the
dollar, to yield 10.6, the Bloomberg report related, citing Trace,
the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority.

SECOND STREET: Asks for Plan Filing Exclusivity Until Dec. 6
------------------------------------------------------------
Second Street Properties, known as Pacific Steel Casting Company
before selling all its assets to Speyside Fund LLC, is asking the
bankruptcy court to extend its exclusive period to propose a plan
by 60 days until Dec. 6, 2014, and the exclusive period to solicit
acceptances of the plan until Feb. 6, 2015.

This exclusivity extension motion -- the second one filed in the
case -- has been brought prior to the expiration of the first
extension granted by the court.

Counsel to the Debtors, Julie H. Rome-Banks, Esq., at Binder &
Malter, LLP, explains that since the inception of the Chapter 11
cases, the Debtors have been efficiently working towards a plan of
reorganization which was predicated on a sale of substantially all
of SSP's assets.  The first three months of the case were focused
on critical matters needed to preserve the going concern value of
the assets of the Estates, such as postpetition financing, utility
deposits and the marketing of assets.  The Court approved bid
procedures and eventually also approved the sale of substantially
all the assets of SSP and related relief on July 28, 2014.  The
sale of substantially all assets of SSP closed on August 29, 2014.
As a result of the sale, the Debtors have terminated all
employees, with all but approximately 1 dozen becoming employees
of the buyer.

Since closing the sale, the Debtors have been actively engaged in
post-closing reconciliations and adjustments that are typical of
large sales of a going concern business, including working capital
(inventory and accounts receivable) adjustments, pro-rating of
expenses and invoices for the month of August, and dealing with
the transfer of equipment that as subject to disguised security
agreements and seeking refunds on utility deposits.  The Court has
also recently granted the Debtors' request to set a bar date of
Oct. 31, 2014 for administrative claims through the date of the
closing.  The Debtors have also filed a motion to reject their
remaining leases and executory contracts which is scheduled for
hearing on October 8th with a requested bar date for rejection
claims and administrative claims by those affected creditors of
Oct. 31, 2014.  In addition, Nov. 27, 2014 is the last day for the
Buyer to assert claims based upon alleged violations of the
representations and warranties contained in the asset purchase
agreement.  A $32,358,877 priority tax claim was filed by the IRS
on Aug. 28, 2014 due to a pending audit of the 2012 corporate
income tax returns.  The Debtors anticipate filing a motion under
Section 505(a) to determine that the claim of the IRS should be
valued at zero and expect that contested matter to initially come
before the Court in November.  Based on all of these temporal
factors which affect a liquidation analysis, estimated recovery to
creditors and feasibility, the Debtors do not anticipate being
able to file a plan of reorganization for at least two months at
the earliest.

the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has asked the
bankruptcy court to terminate Simplexity's exclusivity to allow
the panel to pursue a lawsuit against the bank, saying it's
improper for the company's officers, directors, managers and
indirect owner Versa Capital Management LLC to lead settlement
negotiations with Fifth Third.

                         About Simplexity

Simplexity, LLC, a defunct cellphone activator, sought protection
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
14-10569) on March 16, 2014.  The case is before Judge Kevin
Gross.  The Debtors' counsel is Kenneth J. Enos, Esq., and Robert
S. Brady, Esq., at Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware.  Prime Clerk LLC serves as claims and
noticing agent.  Simplexity hired Rutberg & Co. as investment
banker.

Simplexity LLC and Simplexity Services LLC both estimated
$10 million to $50 million in assets, and $50 million to $100
million in liabilities.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 3 appointed five members to an
official committee of unsecured creditors.  Peter S. Partee, Sr.,
Esq., and Michael P. Richman, Esq., at Hunton & Williams LLP, in
New York; and Christopher A. Ward, Esq., and Shanti M. Katona,
Esq., at Polsinelli PC, in Wilmington, Delaware, represent the

SIMPLEXITY LLC: Fifth Third Bashed for Chapter 7 Conversion Bid
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 cases of Simplexity LLC and its debtor affiliates
lodged an objection to the request by senior Lender Fifth Third
Bank to convert the cellphone activator's case to Chapter 7.

According to Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists
for Bloomberg News, the Creditors' Committee argued that the
lender's request, its second, is a way for the bank to avoid being
sued by creditors.  Law360 noted that the Committee asked the
Court to deny Fifth Third's bid like the first, especially now
that its investigation has turned up valuable claims against the
bank.  The Committee argued that the panel, not a Chapter 7
trustee, is in the best position to expeditiously prosecute
actions against the bank, the Bloomberg report related.

as needed throughout the course of these cases, including but not

Dr. Thomas Vasquez, partner of ARPC, 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 Specialty Products

Cleveland, Ohio-based Specialty Products Holdings Corp., aka RPM,
Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of RPM International Inc.  The
Company is the holding company parent of Bondex International,
Inc., and the direct or indirect parent of certain additional
domestic and foreign subsidiaries.  The Company claims to be a
leading manufacturer, distributor and seller of various specialty
chemical product lines, including exterior insulating finishing
systems, powder coatings, fluorescent colorants and pigments,
cleaning and protection products, fuel additives, wood treatments
and coatings and sealants, in both the industrial and consumer
markets.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Case No. 10-11780) on May 31, 2010.  Gregory M. Gordon, Esq.,
Dan B. Prieto, Esq., and Robert J. Jud, Esq., at Jones Day, serve
as bankruptcy counsel.  Daniel J. DeFranceschi, Esq., Zachary
I. Shapiro, Esq., Paul N. Heath, Esq., and Tyler D. Semmelman,
Esq., at Richards Layton & Finger, serve as co-counsel.  Logan and
Company is the Company's claims and notice agent.  The Company
estimated its assets and debts at $100 million to $500 million.

The Company's affiliate, Bondex International, Inc., filed a
separate Chapter 11 petition on May 31, 2010 (Case No. 10-11779),
estimating its assets and debts at $100 million to $500 million.

Specialty Products Holding Corp, together with Bondex
International, Inc., are referred to as the Initial Debtors.

Counsel to the Official Committee of Asbestos PI Claimants are
Natalie D. Ramsey, Esq., and Mark A. Fink, Esq. of Montgomery,
Mccracken, Walker & Rhoads, LLP, in Wilmington Delaware, and Mark
B. Sheppard, Esq. of the firm's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
division.

Counsel to the Future Claimants' Representative are James L.
Patton, Jr., Esq., Edwin J. Harron, Esq., Edmon Morton, Esq.,
Sharon Zieg, Esq., and Erin Edwards, Esq. of Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware.

Competing bankruptcy exit plans have been filed by the Initial
Debtors, on one hand, and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors and the Future Claimants' Representative on the other.

The Debtors' First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization and the
explanatory Disclosure Statement, dated Nov. 18, 2013, provides
for an asbestos trust to be established and funded with cash to
pay present and future asbestos-related claims.  The trust will be
funded by secured notes, issued by the Debtors and their ultimate
parent, RPM International Inc. ("International"), and the amounts
and terms of the notes will, with one exception, be determined by
the final outcome or settlement of the litigation that will
determine the asbestos claimants' rights in the chapter 11 cases.
The one exception is that the notes will provide for an aggregate
initial nonrefundable payment of $125 million to the asbestos
trust irrespective of the outcome of any litigation.  In short,
the Debtors and International have committed to pay to asbestos
claimants the maximum amount to which they are entitled based on
the applicable judgments or rulings in the litigation that will
determine the extent of the claimants' rights in the chapter 11
cases, and to make comparable payments to other similarly situated
creditors.

The PI Committee and the FCR's Third Amended Plan, filed Oct. 15,
2013, provides that: (i) SPHC will be separated from non-Debtor
direct or indirect parent Bondex International; (ii) Reorganized
SPHC will be managed and/or sold for the benefit of holders of all
Claims that are not paid in Cash, subordinated, cancelled or
otherwise treated pursuant to the Plan; (iii) all of SPHC's causes
of action will survive; (iv) Asbestos PI Trust Claims against SPHC
will be channeled to an Asbestos PI Trust; and (v) current SPHC
equity interests will be canceled, annulled, and extinguished.

On May 20, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order estimating
the amount of the Debtors' asbestos liabilities, and a related
memorandum opinion in support of the estimation order.  The
Bankruptcy Court estimated the current and future asbestos claims
associated with Bondex International, Inc. and Specialty Products
Holding at approximately $1.17 billion.  The estimation hearing
represents one step in the legal process in helping to determine
the amount of potential funding for a 524(g) asbestos trust.

On Aug. 31, 2014, Republic Powdered Metals, Inc., and affiliate
NMBFiL, Inc. -- the New Debtors -- sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 14-12028).  The New Debtors are
indirect subsidiaries of Bondex International and affiliates of
the Initial Debtors.

Republic Powdered Metal is a leader in the roof coating and
restoration industry which provides exclusive products for roof
and wall restoration, including an extensive line of roof
coatings.

NMBFiL is formerly known as Bondo Corporation. It is a
manufacturer of auto body repair products for the automotive
aftermarket and various other professional and consumer
applications. In November 2007, NMBFiL sold substantially all of
its assets and no longer has business operation.

Republic estimated assets of $10 million to $50 million and debt
of less than $10 million as of the bankruptcy filing.

The New Debtors have been granted, on Sept. 3, 2014, joint
administration of their Chapter 11 cases for procedural purposes
only, with the chapter 11 cases of Specialty Products Holding
Corp. and Bondex International, Inc.


TEXAS RANGERS: KPMG Tries to Duck Fraud Suit Over Ex-Owner Audit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that KPMG LLP again tried to avert a trial over
claims that a 2008 audit by the accounting firm allowed Dallas
private equity investor and former Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks
to cheat lenders out of $525 million in debt, saying its audit
reports weren't actually relied upon.

According to the report, during oral arguments in a Manhattan
courtroom, KPMG attorney Michael R. Young of Willkie Farr &
Gallagher LLP told New York Supreme Court Judge Saliann Scarpulla
that deposition testimony has revealed that plaintiff-lender GSP
Finance LLC did not believe KPMG's audit reports on Hicks Sports
Group LLC were true and therefore the lender can't demonstrate
justifiable reliance.  Judge Scarpulla immediately expressed
skepticism that the issue could be resolved on a summary judgment
motion, saying that what someone believes is most often a triable
issue of fact, the report related.

The case is GSP Finance LLC v. KPMG LLP, index number 650841/2011,
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.

                        About Texas Rangers

Texas Rangers Baseball Partners owned and operated the Texas
Rangers Major League Baseball Club, a professional baseball club
in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.  TRBP is a Texas general
partnership, in which subsidiaries of HSG Sports Group LLC own a
100% stake.  Controlled by Thomas O. Hicks, HSG also indirectly
wholly-owns Dallas Stars, L.P., which owns and operates the Dallas
Stars National Hockey League franchise.  The Texas Rangers have
had five owners since the club moved to Arlington in 1972.  Mr.
Hicks became the fifth owner in the history of the Texas Rangers
on June 16, 1998.

Texas Rangers Baseball Partners filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-43400) on May 24, 2010.  The
partnership filed simultaneously with the bankruptcy petition a
Chapter 11 plan that contemplated the sale of the club to an
entity formed by a group that includes the President of the Texas
Rangers, Nolan Ryan, and Chuck Greenberg, a sports lawyer and
minor league club owner.  In its petition, Texas Rangers Baseball
Partners said it had both assets and debt of less than $500
million.

Martin A. Sosland, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, served as
bankruptcy counsel to the Debtor.  Forshey & Prostok LLP acted as
conflicts counsel.  Parella Weinberg Partners LP served as
financial advisor.  Major League Baseball was represented by Sandy
Esserman, Esq., at Stutzman, Bromberg, Esserman & Plifka PC.

Lenders to the Texas Rangers sought to force the baseball team's
equity owners -- Rangers Equity Holdings, L.P. and Rangers Equity
Holdings GP, LLC -- into bankruptcy court protection (Bankr. N.D.
Tex. Case No. 10-43624 and 10-43625).  The lenders, a group that
includes investment funds Monarch Alternative Capital and
Kingsland Capital Management, filed an involuntary bankruptcy
petition on May 28, 2010 against the two companies.  The two
companies were not included in the May 24 Chapter 11 filing of
TRBP.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stacey G. C. Jernigan on Aug. 5, 2010
confirmed the Debtor's fourth amended version of the Prepackaged
Plan of Reorganization.  The judge's confirmation order cleared
the way for a group of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, and
Pittsburgh sports attorney and minor-league team owner Charles
Greenberg to purchase the Texas Rangers.  The Ryan group paid
$385 million in cash and assumed $208 million in liabilities.  The
Ryan group outbid Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at an auction.


TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT: Union Says Lapsed Contract Can't Change
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that Unite Here Local 54, the union representing
majority of Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc.'s workers, argued in
court papers that the casino and hotel operator can't modify its
contract with workers because the collective-bargaining agreement
has already lapsed.  According to the report, the union said the
court has no power to modify a union contract that has already
expired.  The labor contract expired by its own terms 12 days
after Trump Entertainment filed for Chapter 11 protection on
Sept. 9, the report noted.

                About Trump Entertainment Resorts

Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., owner of the Atlantic City
Boardwalk casinos that bear the name of Donald Trump, returned to

TER and its affiliated debtors own and operate two casino hotels
located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  TER said it will close the
Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort by Sept. 16, 2014, and, absent union
concessions, the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino by Nov. 13, 2104.

plus accrued but unpaid interest of $6.6 million under a first
lien debt issued under their 2010 bankruptcy-exit plan.  The
Debtors also have trade debt in the amount of $13.5 million.


TMT GROUP: Vantage Opposes Another Appeal on Bankruptcy Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that Vantage Drilling Co. said TMT Group, the
Taiwanese owner of 16 oceangoing vessels, misconstrued a ruling by
the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans, which, according to
Vantage, didn't establish a rule that will preclude financing
companies reorganizing in Chapter 11.

According to the report, in mid-September, TMT asked all the
judges on the court to rehear and set aside the unsigned opinion
by the earlier three-judge appeals panel.  Vantage filed papers
with the court arguing that TMT "overstated" the three-judge
panel's opinion, pointing out that the opinion applies only to
collateral that doesn't belong to the bankrupt company, the report
related.

The appeal is Vantage Drilling Co. v. TMT Procurement Corp. (In re
TMT Procurement Corp.), 13-20622, U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit (New Orleans).

                           About TMT Group

Known in the industry as TMT Group, TMT USA Shipmanagement LLC and
its affiliates own 17 vessels.  Vessels range in size from 27,000
dead weight tons (dwt) to 320,000 dwt.

TMT USA and 22 affiliates, including C. Ladybug Corporation,
sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 13-
33740) in Houston, Texas, on June 20, 2013 after lenders seized
seven vessels.

TMT filed a lawsuit in U.S. bankruptcy court aimed at forcing
creditors to release the vessels so they can return to generating
income.

TMT has tapped attorneys from Bracewell & Giuliani LLP as
bankruptcy counsel and AlixPartners as financial advisors.

On a consolidated basis, the Debtors have $1.52 billion in assets
and $1.46 billion in liabilities.

hearing before Brooklyn U.S. Magistrate Judge Viktor V. Pohorelsky
over how much fact-finding is needed to determine whether the
airline's legacy bankruptcy protects it from the shipper's
potentially billion-dollar antitrust suit over cargo charges, with
DHL arguing for full discovery and noting its claims span beyond
the airline's takeoff out of Chapter 11.

The case is DPWNHoldings (USA), Inc v. United Airlines, Inc., Case
No. 1:11-cv-00564 (E.D.N.Y.).

VAIL LAKE RANCHO: Could Not File Chapter 11 Plan Until Nov. 14
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vail Lake Rancho California and its debtor-affiliates ask the Hon.
Louise DeCarl Adler of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of California to further extend their exclusive period
to:

  a) file a Chapter 11 plan until Nov. 14, 2014; and

  b) solicit acceptances of that plan through and including Jan.
     16, 2015.

A hearing is set for Nov. 6, 2014, at 2:00 p.m., at Dept. 2 in
Room 118, 325 West F Street in San Diego, California.

The Debtors say they have previously sought several extensions of
their exclusivity periods, which extensions were necessary to
stabilize their cases, conduct the diligence necessary to
formulate a plan to operate during the bankruptcy cases and
negotiate with the most important constituencies in the bankruptcy
cases, and to commence executing on that plan.  One of the main
pillars of the plan was reaching a global settlement with the
Debtors' largest secured creditors, the Debtors say.

According to the Debtors, their full attention is focused on
finishing the plan and disclosure statement.  The extension of
time will allow them to do just that, while preserving their
exclusivity periods and avoiding the distraction relating to a
chapter 11 plan filing by a party other than them.

The Debtors' current plan filing deadline was set to expire on
Oct. 1, 2014, absent an extension.

                        About Vail Lake

Vail Lake Rancho California, LLC, and its affiliates own the
California campground Vail Lake Resort. Vail Lake is a large
reservoir in western Riverside County, California, located on
Temecula Creek in the Santa Margarita River watershed,
approximately 15 miles east of Temecula, California.  Properties
cover approximately 9,000 acres and have an estimated water
storage capacity of approximately 51,000 acre-feet.

On Dec. 26, 2012, creditors of Vail Lake filed an involuntary
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D. Cal. Case No. 12-16684) for Vail
Lake.  In a filing on June 6, 2013, the Debtor said it consents to
the entry of an order for relief and does not contest the
involuntary Chapter 11 petition.

On June 5, 2013, the company sent 5 related entities -- Vail Lake
USA, LLC ("VLU"), Vail Lake Village & Resort, LLC ("VLRC"), Vail
Lake Groves, LLC, Agua Tibia Ranch, LLC, and Outdoor Recreational
Management, LLC -- to Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The new debtors have sought and obtained an order for joint
administration of their Chapter 11 cases with Vail Lake Rancho
(Case No. 12-16684).

The Debtors are represented by attorneys at Cooley LLP and
Phillips, Haskett & Ingwalson, A.P.C.  The Debtor also employed

VICTOR RIVERA: Appellate Panel Warns v. Ignoring Dismissal Bid
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel
in San Francisco's Sept. 29 opinion in a case involving an
individual's Chapter 13 bankruptcy in effect said a bankrupt
consumer may have ruined his chances of shedding debt by trying to
go through Chapter 13 without a lawyer and failing to appreciate
the importance of answering motions.

According to the report, the Appellate Panel said that the Chapter
13 case shouldn't have been dismissed because the notice
automatically converted the case to Chapter 7, but said that
because the conversion notice wasn't brought to the attention of
the bankruptcy judge, the BAP said it couldn't take its existence
into account and therefore had to uphold dismissal of the Chapter
13 case.

The case is Rivera v. Curry (In re Rivera), 14-1035, 2014 BL
273479, U.S. Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (San
Francisco).


WARNER MUSIC: Eric Levin Named Chief Financial Officer
------------------------------------------------------
Warner Music Group announced two senior appointments as it
continues to enhance its ability to invest in growth opportunities
and develop its global infrastructure.  Eric Levin has been
appointed as the company's new executive vice president and chief
financial officer.  Mr. Levin succeeds Brian Roberts who is moving
to a newly created position on WMG's senior management team as
executive vice president, corporate strategy & operations.  Both
appointments are effective immediately.  Levin and Roberts both
report to WMG CEO Steve Cooper and are based in New York.

Mr. Levin is a veteran finance executive with more than 25 years'
experience in the global technology and media sectors.  He has
held CFO roles at Ecolab (North Asia Region), the South China
Morning Post Group, and HBO (Home Box Office), among others.  At
WMG, he is responsible for the company's worldwide financial
operations.

Roberts became WMG's CFO in January 2012, and was a key member of
the team that drove the acquisition and integration of Parlophone
Label Group (PLG).  In his new post, Roberts' responsibilities
include oversight of WEA Corp. (WMG's global artist & label
services arm) and Information Technology.  As an architect of
WMG's corporate global infrastructure, he will identify and
implement best practices in worldwide systems, policies and
procedures.

Cooper said, "Eric's impressive experience in global commerce and
his deep understanding of local markets make him ideal for the CFO
position.  We are very pleased to have a finance leader of his
stature step into this critical role as Brian transitions to his
important new responsibilities.  Brian has done an outstanding job
during a period of tremendous change and I'm delighted we are able
to retain his operational expertise and institutional knowledge as
we equip our organization for long-term success.  These two
appointments will accelerate the evolution of our worldwide
infrastructure, while strengthening our ability to invest in new
talent."

Levin said, "I've long admired Warner Music Group for its
incredible roster of artists, as well as its powerful combination
of scale and agility.  I'm delighted to be working with WMG's
senior management and finance teams around the world to build a
creative and commercial environment where experimentation and
entrepreneurialism can flourish."

Roberts said, "I'd like to thank Steve for this exciting new
opportunity.  I'm looking forward to helping WMG harness new
technologies to provide best-in-class services across all aspects
of our business and throughout the world.  The more nimble and
responsive our global structure, the better the results will be
for our labels, artists and songwriters."

Mr. Levin has held numerous senior executive posts in the US and
Greater China.  In 2012, he joined Ecolab Inc., the multinational
technology and manufacturing group, as the Regional Controller &
CFO for its North Asia Region.  Before that, beginning in 2009, he
was Chief Financial Officer at South China Morning Post Group.
Previously, Levin was Chief Financial Officer at HBO (Home Box
Office), and was a founding partner at the multimedia venture City
On Demand.

Roberts had served as WMG's EVP & CFO since January 2012 after
having joined the WMG family in 2007 as Senior Vice President &
CFO of Warner/Chappell Music, the company's music publishing arm.
Highlights of his tenure as WMG's CFO include helping drive the
acquisition and subsequent integration of Parlophone Label Group
(PLG); overseeing the highly successful refinancing of the
company's debt on three separate occasions; and leading the
selection and complete renovation of a new location for the
company's global headquarters in Manhattan.  Prior to joining WMG,
Roberts was SVP, Finance & Administration, North & South America
for BMG Music Publishing, preceded by stints at Zomba Music
Publishing, EMI Publishing and Ernst & Young.

Mr. Levin will receive an annual base salary of $550,000, be
eligible to participate in the Company's bonus plan, with an
annual target bonus of 60% of his base salary, or $330,000, to be
earned based on factors including the strength of his performance

WSP HOLDINGS: NYSE Delists Shares; Commences Trading on OTC Pink
----------------------------------------------------------------
WSP Holdings Limited on Oct. 15 announced the following:

WSP Holdings Delisted from NYSE, Commences Trading on OTC Pink(R)
Marketplace

On September 13, 2014, the Company received a notice from NYSE
Regulation, Inc. ("NYSE Regulation") that NYSE Regulation had
determined to commence proceedings to delist the American
Depositary Shares (the "ADSs") of the Company from the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE").  NYSE Regulation reached its decision to
delist the ADSs pursuant to Listed Company Manual ("LCM") Section
802.01B because the Company had fallen below the NYSE's continued
listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain a minimum
average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading
day period of at least $15,000,000.  Trading in the Company's ADSs
was suspended prior to the opening of trading on the NYSE on
September 16, 2014.  Under the NYSE delisting procedure, the
Company had a right to a review of this determination by a
committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation.  The
Company decided to not request such a review.

In the notice, NYSE Regulation also referenced the Company's
having previously fallen below the NYSE's continued listing
standard in Section 802.01C of the LCM requiring listed companies
to maintain an average closing price per share of not less than
$1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading day period and the Company's
noncompliance with Section 802.01E of the LCM due to its failure
to file its Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013
by the applicable due date.

The Company's ADSs are now being traded on the OTC Pink(R)
Marketplace under the symbol "WSHLY."

Initiation of Bankruptcy Proceeding Involving Wuxi Seamless Oil
Pipes Co., Ltd.

On September 30, 2014, a supplier of Wuxi Seamless Oil Pipes Co.,
Ltd. ("Wuxi Seamless"), the Company's main operating subsidiary
and which holds over half of the Company's assets and historically
has generated the majority of the Company group's consolidated
revenues, applied to the local court for Wuxi Seamless to enter
bankruptcy proceedings due to Wuxi Seamless' not having timely
paid amounts outstanding to such supplier.  On October 9, 2014,
the court ruled that Wuxi Seamless enter into a bankruptcy re-
structuring proceeding.  On October 10, 2014, an administrator was
appointed by the court to begin the process of examining Wuxi
Seamless' business and assets to see how they might best be
utilized to satisfy the claims for unpaid loans and other amounts
outstanding made by Wuxi Seamless' lenders and other creditors.

Additional Foreclosure Actions on Company Subsidiaries Initiated
by Lenders

Wuxi Seamless is in default of a RMB90,000,000 loan from a bank
which it has been unable to repay when due, and the bank has
commenced to foreclose on some of the assets of Wuxi Seamless.
Liaoyang Seamless Oil Pipe Co., Ltd.?"Liaoyang Seamless"), which
is a former subsidiary of the Company which was disposed in
December 2013 (see the Company's press release on March 19, 2014
), has a RMB105,000,000 loan from the same bank which continues to
be guaranteed by Wuxi Seamless, other subsidiaries of the Company,
including Songyuan Seamless Oil Pipe Co., Ltd. and Bazhou Seamless
Oil Pipe Co., Ltd., and Tuoketuo County Mengfeng Special Steel
Co., Ltd., a former subsidiary of the Company which was disposed
in December 2013 (as announced in a press release on March 19,
2014).  Liaoyang Seamless was unable to repay this loan when due,
and as a result, in September 2014, the bank has proceeded to
foreclose some of the assets of Wuxi Seamless. The proceeding is
ongoing.

In September 2014, a bank initiated an action in a local court in
China to foreclose on some of the assets of Wuxi Seamless and
Songyuan Seamless Oil Pipe Co., Ltd. ("Songyuan Seamless"), a
subsidiary of Wuxi Seamless, to satisfy amounts due to this bank.
At the time of the initiation of this action, Songyuan Seamless
owed approximately RMB78,000,000 to this bank, and such amount is
guaranteed by Wuxi Seamless and Mr. Longhua Piao, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

As previously announced in a press release of the Company dated
August 18, 2014, Bazhou Seamless Oil Pipe Co., Ltd. ("Bazhou
Seamless"), a subsidiary of Wuxi Seamless and a significant
subsidiary of the group which has an asset size of approximately
25% of the group and generates no revenue, has received orders
from the local court granting certain lenders of Bazhou Seamless'
bank loans on which interest is overdue foreclosure applications
on assets, including bank deposits and other properties of Bazhou
Seamless, and the guarantors of these loans, which include Wuxi
Seamless.

                       Going Concern Doubt

MaloneBailey LLP, in Houston, Texas, expressed substantial doubt
about WSP Holdings Limited's ability to continue as a going
concern, following the Company's results for the fiscal year ended
Dec. 31, 2011.  The independent auditors said: "As discussed in
Note 2(a) to the consolidated financial statements, the fact that
the Company suffered significant operating loss and had working
capital deficiency while a significant amount of short-term
borrowings is required to be refinanced raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern."


YELLOWSTONE MOUNTAIN: 9th Circ. Upholds Contempt for Founder
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed a
district court's finding of contempt against Timony Blixseth,
founder of the Yellowstone Mountain Club ski resort, over his sale
of a Mexico resort property included in the company's bankruptcy
in defiance of an injunction.

According to Law360, a three-judge panel concluded that the
sanctions imposed against Mr. Blixseth were remedial and that the
contempt ruling was therefore civil in nature and not
inappropriate.  Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy
columnists for Bloomberg News, related that in February this year,
a Montana district court ordered Mr. Blixseth to pay at least
$13.8 million after violating an order barring him from selling a
resort in Mexico.  Mr. Blixseth, according to the Bloomberg
report, contended that the sanction was criminal in nature and
that proper procedures weren't followed in finding him in
contempt.

http://www.theyellowstoneclub.com/-- is a private golf and ski
community with more than 350 members, including Bill Gates and Dan

Yellowstone Club and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Montana, Case No. 08-61570) on Nov. 10,
2008.  The Company's owner affiliate, Edra D. Blixseth, filed
a separate Chapter 11 petition on March 27, 2009 (Case No.
09-60452).

Attorneys at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC and Bekkedahl & Green
PLLC represented Yellowstone.  The Debtors hired FTI Consulting
Inc. and Ronald Greenspan as CRO.  The official committee of
unsecured creditors were represented by Parsons, Behle and
Latimer; and James H. Cossitt, Esq., as counsel.  Credit Suisse,
the prepetition first lien lender, was represented by Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

In June 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
Yellowstone's Chapter 11 Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan, CrossHarbor
Capital Partners LLC acquired equity ownership in the reorganized
Club for $115 million.

Marc S. Kirschner, Esq., was appointed the Trustee of the
Yellowstone Club Liquidating Trust created under the Plan.


* For-Profit Colleges Unlikely to See Ch. 11 Fix Soon
-----------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that with for-profit college operators all but
barred from reorganizing under Chapter 11, the battered industry
has seen a rash of disruptive breakups that experts say will
continue without a bankruptcy solution that Congress appears
unwilling to provide.  According to the report, facing stiff
economic headwinds and intense scrutiny from regulators, several
for-profit college operators have been forced to liquidate or wind
down outside of court in recent months because of a federal
statute that forever revokes an operator's eligibility for federal
student aid after a bankruptcy petition.  Losing student aid is a
death sentence for these institutions, which rely on Uncle Sam for
a huge percentage of their cash flow, the report said.

Competitive Strategy for Health Care Organizations: Techniques for
Strategic Action is an informative book that provides practical
guidance for senior health care managers and other health care
professionals on the organizational and competitive strategic
action needed to survive and to be successful in today's
increasingly competitive health care marketplace. An important
premise of the book is that the development and implementation of
good competitive strategy involves a profound understanding of
change. As the authors state at the outset: "What may need to be
done in today's environment may involve great departure from the
past, including major changes in the skills and attitudes of
staff, and great tact and patience in bringing about the necessary
strategic training."

Although understanding change is certainly important in most
fields, the authors demonstrate the particular importance of
change to the health care field in the first and second chapters.
In Chapter 1, the authors review the three eras of medical care
(individual medicine, organizational medicine, and network
medicine) and lay the groundwork for their model for competitive
strategy development. Chapter 2 describes the factors that must be
taken into account for successful strategic decision-making. These
factors include the analysis of the environmental trends and
competitive forces affecting the health care field, past, current,
and future; the analysis of the competitive position of the
organization; the setting of goals, objectives, and a strategy;
the analysis of competitive performance; and the readaptation of
the business, if necessary, through positioning activities,
redirection of strategy, and organizational change.

Chapters 3 through 7 discuss in detail the five positioning
activities that are part of the model and therefore critical to
the development and implementation of a successful strategy:
scanning; product market analysis; collaboration; restructuring;
and managing the physician. The chapter on managing the physician
(Chapter 7) is the only section in the book that appears dated
(the book was first published in 1984). In this day of physician-
owned hospitals and physician-backed joint ventures, it is
difficult to envision the physician in the passive role of "being
managed." However, even the changing role of physicians since the
book's first publication correlates with the authors' premise that
their model for competitive strategic planning is based exactly on
understanding and anticipating change, which is no better
illustrated than in health care where change is measured not in
years but in months. These middle chapters and the other chapters
use a mixture of didactic presentation, graphs and charts,
quotations from famous individuals, and anecdotes to render what
can frequently be dry information in an entertaining and readable
format.

The final chapter of the book presents a case example (using the
"South Clinic") as a summary of many of the issues and strategic
alternatives discussed in the previous chapters. The final chapter
also discusses the competitive issues specific to various types of
health care delivery organizations, including teaching hospitals,
community hospitals, group practices, independent practice
associations, hospital groups, super groups and alliances, nursing
homes, home health agencies, and for-profits. An interesting quote
on for-profits indicates how time and change are indeed important
factors in strategic planning in the health care field: "Behind
many of the competitive concerns.lies the specter of the for-
profits. Their competitive edge has lain until now in the
excellence of their management. But developments in the past half-
decade have shown that the voluntary sector can match the for-
profits in management excellence. Despite reservations that may
not always be untrue, the for-profit sector has demonstrated that
good management can pay off in health care. But will the voluntary
institutions end up making the same mistakes and having the same
accusations leveled at them as the for-profits have? It is
disturbing to talk to the head of a voluntary hospital group and
hear him describe physicians as his potential competitors."

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 by e-mail.

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 the nation's bankruptcy courts.  The
list includes links to freely downloadable of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF documents.

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
