TIMKEN COMPANY: Wins First Rail Customer in Norway
--------------------------------------------------
The Timken Company recently supplied Norwegian mining company
Rana Gruber AS with cartridge bearings that significantly
increased the load capacity of freight cars transporting iron
ore.  Rana Gruber is Timken's first rail customer in Norway,
where extensive upgrading of rail freight operations is expected
within the coming years.

Rana Gruber's goal was to modernize its fleet and increase load
capacity.  This involved installing new axles and wheels, and
Timken proposed a solution that included Timken(R) AP-2(TM)
Class K cartridge bearings set in adapters that permit simpler
assembly and easier maintenance.  The adapter solution is common
in North American freight applications and is becoming more
popular in Europe.

Timken's solution has enabled Rana Gruber to increase load
capacity on its box cars by 20 percent and significantly lower
operating costs.  With tapered roller bearings, seals and
housing in a pre-lubricated package, the compact and lightweight
AP-2 design supports heavier weights and improves safety and
reliability.  Integrated HDL sealing technology protects against
bearing malfunction and improves fuel efficiency by operating
with lower torque.

"We have significant experience in maximizing bearing
performance in harsh conditions and so were able to engineer a
system for Rana Gruber that would achieve its goal of
transporting heavier loads," said Marcus Pauels, manager of
European sales and marketing for Timken's rail operations.
"The support of a supplier with a clear understanding of our
needs was especially important to us, and Timken was able to
provide us with the expertise and product that we needed," said
Arve Lein, managing director of Rana Gruber.

                     About Rana Gruber

Since its formation in 1936, Rana Gruber AS, Norway, has
specialized in the extraction and reduction of iron ores from
its own deposits in the Dunderland valley near Storforshei.
Each year it extracts about 1.6 million metric tons of iron ore
(about 1.4 million U.S. tons) and processes it in a variety of
ways.  Its offering encompasses traditional bulk materials and
special products for sophisticated applications.

                       About Timken Co.

Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) --
http://www.timken.com/-- is a manufacturer of highly engineered
bearings and alloy steels.  It also provides related components
and services such as bearing refurbishment for the aerospace,
medical, industrial and railroad industries.  The company has
operations in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,
China, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, India,
Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Romania,
Russia, Singapore, South America, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, United
States, and Venezuela and employs 27,000 employees.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Aug. 15, 2007, Moody's Investors Service affirmed Timken's Ba1
corporate family rating and the Ba1 rating on Timken's US$300
million Medium Term Notes, Series A.

ALCATEL-LUCENT: To Deploy WiMAX Network for Bollore Telecom
-----------------------------------------------------------
Alcatel-Lucent is deploying a next-generation pilot network for
France's Bollore Telecom, one of the leading communications
providers and a holder of 12 WiMAX licenses in France.  This new
pilot network complements existing WiMAX trials Bollore Telecom
currently is conducting before the planned launch of its
commercial offering in France later this year.

Complying with the latest IEEE standard 802.16e-2005 the new
pilot WiMAX network is already operational. Installed and
operated by Alcatel-Lucent on one of Bollore's sites in the
Paris region, the network uses the 3.5 GHz frequency band. It
will enable Bollore Telecom to test the radio performance of
WiMAX and better prepare for its commercial deployment.

"We are working in close cooperation with the Bollore Telecom
teams to ensure the success of these trials, which implement
Alcatel-Lucent's latest advanced antenna technologies.  By
maximizing the radio performance of the WiMAX network, these
advanced technologies will make it possible for future users to
access high-quality broadband services wherever they are," said
Olivier Picard, President of the Alcatel-Lucent Europe and South
activities.  "With the combination of our expertise based on our
world leadership in fixed and mobile broadband, and the broadest
products and services portfolio on the market, we are in a good
position to help Bollore Telecom deploy a WiMAX network in
France that meets its high expectations."

Alcatel-Lucent's universal WiMAX solution is ideal for rapidly
deploying Voice over IP and broadband services such as mobile
data, video streaming and virtual private network access in
fixed, nomadic and/or mobile environments.  WiMAX technology
enables people to access high-speed, high-quality broadband
wireless services wherever they are and wherever they go,
providing truly "universal" wireless broadband access.

Under this agreement, Alcatel-Lucent is responsible for
delivering an integrated end-to-end solution that includes
acquisition of the sites and procurement of the necessary
equipment including WiMAX terminals for Bollore Telecom's
customers.  This agreement follows a multiple-supplier
partnership strategy that fits into the framework of Alcatel-
Lucent's open cooperation program aimed at promoting an open
environment designed to give end-users the widest possible
choice of devices.   Alcatel-Lucent will also manage the pilot
network.

Alcatel-Lucent's Universal WiMAX solution integrates the latest
technological innovations, such as "beam forming"* and MIMO**.  
Beamforming enables a service provider to dramatically reduce
the number of radio sites needed to provide coverage – in some
instances by as much as 40 percent – while reducing interference
and ensuring better indoor penetration of the radio signal. MIMO
helps make radio links more robust, nearly doubling the capacity
delivered in dense urban environments.

With more than 70 pilots and deployments across the world and 12
commercial contracts signed since the beginning of 2007, this
new project clearly underscores Alcatel Lucent's leading
position in the WiMAX market, and particularly in France, where
it recently deployed the first WiMAX Rev-e commercial network.

                     About Bollore Telecom

Bollore Telecom is a new French telecommunications operator,
which obtained 12 regional WiMAX licenses in July 2006. The
project developed by Bollore Telecom has three targets:
implementing a microwave broadband access in its regional
territories, contributing to the development of competitivity
through the creation of a real alternative to existing service
portfolios, and innovating new services – in order to offer end-
users new nomadic solutions with both competitive prices and the
guarantee of a maximum technical reliability.

                       About Alcatel-Lucent

Headquartered in Paris, France, Alcatel-Lucent --
http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/-- provides solutions that enable  
service providers, enterprises and governments worldwide to
deliver voice, data and video communication services to end
users.  Alcatel-Lucent maintains operations in 130 countries,
including, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands,
Ireland, Canada, United States, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,
El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Venezuela, Indonesia, Australia,
Brunei and Cambodia.  On Nov. 30, 2006, Alcatel and Lucent
Technologies Inc. completed their merger transaction, and began
operations as a communication solutions provider under the name
Alcatel-Lucent on Dec. 1, 2006.

                          *     *     *

As reported on April 13, 2007, Fitch Ratings affirmed Alcatel-
Lucent's ratings at Issuer Default 'BB' with a Stable Outlook,
senior unsecured 'BB' and Short-term 'F2' and simultaneously
withdrawn them.

As of Feb. 7, 2007, Moody's Investor Services put a Ba2 rating
on Alcatel's Corporate Family and Senior Debt rating.  Lucent
carries Moody's B1 Senior Debt rating and B2 Subordinated debt &
trust preferred rating.

Alcatel-Lucent's Long-Term Corporate Credit rating and Senior
Unsecured Debt carry Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' BB
rating.  Its Short-Term Corporate Credit rating stands at B.


BOSTON SCIENTIFIC: Amends US$2 Billion Revolving Credit Line
------------------------------------------------------------
Boston Scientific Corporation has amended its US$2 billion
revolving line of credit and US$5 billion term loan agreement,
providing the Company additional financial flexibility as it
implements initiatives designed to increase shareholder value.
   
"We were pleased to work with our lenders to amend our credit
facility," said Jim Tobin, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Boston Scientific.  "These changes provide significant
financial flexibility that will assist us as we execute our plan
to divest non-strategic assets, monetize our investment
portfolio, and reduce expenses and head count, as well as
achieve our broader goal of increasing shareholder value."

Among other items, the amendment extends a step-down in the
maximum permitted leverage ratio (total debt divided by EBITDA
[Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization]) as follows:

From:                         To:
4.5 times to 3.5 times        4.5 times to 4.0 times on
on March 31, 2008             March 31, 2009, and 4.0 times
                              to 3.5 times on Sept. 30, 2009
   
The amendment clarifies the definition of EBITDA to exclude up
to US$300 million of any restructuring charges incurred through
June 30, 2009, and up to US$500 million of any litigation
charges -- less any litigation income recorded -- each year
through June 30, 2009.  In addition, the amendment changes the
application of any term loan pre-payments from pro-rata across
maturities to the chronological order of maturities.
   
The amended credit facility and resulting financial flexibility
are part of the Company's previously announced plans to
strengthen operating and financial performance.
   
In connection with the amended agreement, Boston Scientific
prepaid US$1 billion of its term loan using US$750 million from
cash on hand and US$250 million from a credit facility secured
by U.S. receivables, resulting in a gross debt reduction of
US$750 million.  The US$1 billion prepays the April 2008 term
loan obligation of US$650 million and reduces the US$650 million
April 2009 obligation by US$350 million.  After paying down US$1
billion of its term loan, the company has nearly US$1 billion of
cash on hand and full access to its US$2 billion undrawn
revolving credit facility.  Finally, interest rate margins and
fee rates for the amended credit facility remain unchanged.
   
Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, Boston Scientific
Corporation (NYSE: BSX) -- http://www.bostonscientific.com/--  
develops, manufactures and markets medical devices used in a
broad range of interventional medical specialties.  The company
has offices in Argentina, Chile, France, Germany, and Japan,
among others.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 7, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Boston Scientific Corp. to 'BB+' from 'BBB-' and
placed the ratings on the company on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  S&P has withdrawn the commercial paper rating at
the company's request.

At the same time, Fitch Ratings downgraded the ratings on Boston
Scientific Corp. including the company's 'BBB-' Senior Unsecured
Notes rating which was lowered to 'BB+'.  Fitch said the rating
outlook is negative.


EUROTUNNEL GROUP: Posts EUR32 Mln Net Loss for First Half 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------
Eurotunnel Group released TNU's (formerly Eurotunnel SA
/Eurotunnel PLC) financial results ended June 30, 2007.

TNU posted net loss of EUR32 million for the first half ended
June 30, 2007, compared with net loss of EUR105 million for the
same period in 2006.

Excluding the Minimum Usage Charge TNU recorded revenues of
EUR373 million compared with the EUR349 million revenues for the
same period in 2006.

In a buoyant cross-Channel market, TNU increased its market
share for its Passenger Shuttle business as well that of its
Truck activity, recording a substantial increase of 8% in its
Shuttle revenues to EUR240 million compared with EUR222 million
for the first half of 2006.

The reduction in net financial charges results from the one-off
effects of the terms of the safeguard plan, and is not
representative of the new credit agreements which are effective
from June 28, 2007.

The total equity of TNU PLC and TNU SA remains negative, at
EUR2.3 billion.

Following the Exchange Tender Offer completed in June 2007,
Groupe Eurotunnel SA took control of TNU.  The structure of TNU,
which in particular that of the Concessionnaires is unchanged.

The accounts for Groupe Eurotunnel SA will be prepared for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2007.

"We have made very tangible progress in our operations and the
company is ahead of its business plan.  To fully appreciate our
performance, it is important to take into account the loss of
the MUC, which represented, for the first half of 2006, 14% of
total revenue and which has been almost half compensated for in
this first six months.  All other things being equal, our
revenue has increased by 7% pro forma," Jacques Gounon, Chairman
and Chief Executive of Groupe Eurotunnel SA stated.

Mr. Gounon added, "While traffic is increasing, operating costs
continue nevertheless to decrease.  As a result of this, the pro
forma EBITDA shows substantial improvement and the operating
margin has reached 56%."

"The results of the first half of 2007 show a loss for TNU, much
reduced compared to 2006," Mr. Gounon concluded.

http://www.eurotunnel.co.uk/-- operates a fleet of 25 shuttle  
trains, which carry cars, coaches and trucks.  It manages the
infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel and receives toll revenues
from train operating companies whose trains pass through the
Tunnel.

The British and French governments have granted Eurotunnel a
concession to operate the Channel Tunnel until 2086.

Eurotunnel Group files reports in the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission under the names of Eurotunnel PLC (ETNUF.PK)
and Eurotunnel S.A. (ETTFF.PK).

At Dec. 31, 2006, Eurotunnel's balance sheet showed GBP5.25
billion in total assets, GBP6.56 billion in total liabilities
and GBP1.32 billion in shareholders' deficit.

                    Safeguard Protection

Eurotunnel obtained Aug. 2, 2006, an order placing the channel
operator under the protection of the Court pursuant to the new
safeguard legislation (Procedure de sauvegarde).  At the end of
2006, the group's creditors and bondholders approved a plan to
decrease its GBP6.2 billion debt to GBP2.84 billion.

On Jan. 15, 2007, the Court approved Eurotunnel's safeguard
plan, backed by the court-appointed representatives to the
company and to the creditors.


QUEBECOR WORLD: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to B3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Quebecor World Inc.'s
corporate family rating to B3 from B2 and the senior unsecured
ratings for subsidiary companies, Quebecor World Capital
Corporation and Quebecor World Capital ULC, also to B3 from B2,
on concerns that deteriorating business conditions will
adversely affect margins for an extended period with free cash
generation and debt reduction significantly deferred.

In addition, with the company having disclosed it may require
further accommodation from its bank lenders, there is
significant uncertainty as to how this will impact ongoing
access to liquidity.  With this, in turn, potentially impacting
the company's ability to address its operational issues, the
ratings outlook remains negative.  This covenant compliance
matter was a component of Moody's June 18, 2007, downgrade of
Quebecor World's speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-4
(indicating weak liquidity).  However, given the passage of time
and the continued lack of resolution, and now, very difficult
credit market conditions, the company's liquidity position has
deteriorated and weighs against the long term debt ratings.  
This may have further ratings' impact if not addressed
satisfactorily.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Quebecor World, Inc.

-- Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to B3 from B2

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to B3
    (LGD4, 55) from B2 (LGD4, 50)

Issuer: Quebecor World Capital Corporation

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to B3
    (LGD4, 55) from B2 (LGD4, 50)

Issuer: Quebecor World Capital ULC

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to B3
    (LGD4, 55) from B2 (LGD4, 50)

Withdrawals:

Issuer: Quebecor World (USA) Inc.

-- Senior Subordinated Conv./Exch. Bond/Debenture, Withdrawn,
    previously rated Caa1 (LGD6, 94)

Moody's had previously expected QWI's 2007 TD/EBITDA to exceed
7x. It was also expected that 2007 FCF would be materially
negative. However, it now appears that margin pressure will
cause TD/EBITDA to approach 8x, and, assuming that revenue and
margins can improve in 2008 and beyond, and, at the same time,
that capital expenditures return to maintenance levels, it will
be 2009 before the company may be able to generate positive free
cash flow.

While certain other credit metrics are expected to provide
rating signals supporting a higher rating, Moody's will focus on
free cash flow and debt reduction until such time as the company
demonstrates a sustainable ability to repay debt from internal
sources.  Similarly, until the company implements a
comprehensive liquidity plan that includes credit facilities
that provide substantial funding, are committed for an extended
period, and are accessible at all times, the company's ability
to execute its business plan will be viewed as somewhat limited
and there will be an adverse ratings impact.

QUEBECOR WORLD: S&P Cuts Corporate Credit Rating to B
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on
Montreal, Quebec-based printing company Quebecor World Inc. by
one notch, including the long-term corporate credit rating to
'B' from 'B+'.  The ratings remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications, where they were placed Aug. 9, 2007.
     
"The downgrade reflects Quebecor World's reduced financial
flexibility and the possibility that the company will not be in
compliance with its covenants for the private notes of
subsidiary Quebecor World Capital Corp. for the third quarter of
2007," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lori Harris.  
Quebecor World is pursuing an amendment with the private
noteholders to amend certain covenants.  "In the event the
amendment request (which expires Aug. 30, 2007) is not
successful, and if the company is not in compliance with its
covenants for the quarter ending
Sept. 30, 2007, Quebecor World would have to take action to
avoid an event of default, possibly by redeeming the notes
early," Ms. Harris added.
     
Furthermore, Quebecor World's waivers from its bank group for
certain financial covenants are only approved through to the
release of its third-quarter 2007 financial results.  Quebecor
World has re-entered discussions with its bank group to either
extend the waivers or loosen its financial covenants because
it's unlikely to be in compliance following expiry of existing
waivers.
     
Quebecor World is partially owned by Quebecor Inc., which holds
about a 36% economic stake in the company, yet has 85% voting
power (including 12.5 million shares pledged to exchangeable
debenture holders by Quebecor Inc.).  This controlling interest
gives rise to a linkage of these two separate legal entities.  
If Quebecor Inc.'s credit profile deteriorated, Standard &
Poor's would attribute greater risk to Quebecor World.  This
linkage could affect the ratings on Quebecor World even in the
absence of any adverse developments at Quebecor World itself.  
Quebecor Inc.'s other main holding, an interest in Quebecor
Media Inc. (BB-/Stable/--), does not constrain the ratings.
     
The ratings will remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications until Quebecor World's liquidity concerns are
resolved.  Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor
developments, including negotiations with the company's lenders.

ALITALIA SPA: Business Plan Aims Capital Hike, Flight & Job Cuts
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Alitalia S.p.A.  approved, among other
items, the Guidelines for the 2008-2010 Business Plan.  

                          Assumptions

External Context

In January 2007, the Company announced that the targets set out
in the Business Plan previously approved by the Board of
Directors were to be considered no longer valid and therefore
the Business Plan not feasible.  

On Feb. 27, 2007, the newly appointed Board of Directors decided
not to revise the Business Plan for the time being, in view of
the sales procedure started by the Ministry of Economy and
Finance.  The revision was postponed until a later date, once
all the necessary elements had been acquired.

Subsequently, with the aim of safeguarding the Company going
concern, the Ministry of Economy and Finance asked the Company,
despite the operation of privatization, to consider the
opportunity of taking steps to define the guidelines for a
Business Plan, which would be sustainable for the Company over
the next three years.

At the end of July 2007, the Company acknowledged the conclusion
without results of the competitive procedure based on direct
negotiations started in December by the Ministry of Economy and
Finance for the sale of not less than a 39.9% share of the
company capital.  

Consequently, Alitalia would have to draw up a stand alone
Business Plan, as previously decided by the Board of Directors
on June 11, 2007.   

Subsequently, the Ministry of Economy and Finance confirmed its
intention, also as a result of the conclusion without results of
the sale procedure started up in December 2006, to transfer the
control of Alitalia in a way still to be decided.

Assumptions on management/operational situation and financials:

   -- the Company in its current situation is no longer able to
      sustain the negative trend of accumulated and perspective
      losses;

   -- given the current situation, from both the competitive and
      economic points of view, the Company is no longer able to
      operate efficiently out of two hubs;

   -- consequently, the Company urgently needs to reduce its
      scale of operations and its positioning, to modify its
      business approach through measures involving the network,
      product quality, operating costs, terms of employment and
      organization of personnel (the related aspect of
      redundancies will be handled in agreement with the union
      organizations, using social and welfare tools).

Industrial Scenario and Positioning

The competitive scenario and the air transport context are
rapidly moving towards forms of integration and concentration
involving a very small number of hub carriers, making it
possible to achieve economies of scale and the creation of
significant synergies.

Against this background, there is a growing trend in the
industry to leave only "niche" spaces for traditional carriers
which have limited size and operate on a "stand alone" basis.

Alitalia has accumulated a considerable gap compared to its main
competitors due to a series of interrelated causes such as the
widely dispersed traffic demand over several catchment areas,
the country’s geographical position which is decentralized
compared to major international routes, a marked lack of
infrastructures and the highly fragmented domestic airport
system (especially the two airports, Linate and Malpensa,
serving the Milan area), the lack of a well-ordered system of
sector regulations which has penalized and continues to penalize
Alitalia, the complex system of external constraints of various
types.

It is necessary to understand that it would be extremely
difficult to close the accumulated gap through a new attempt to
achieve an "independent positioning" for the Company as one of
the main hub carriers in Europe.  The only result of this
attempt would be to confirm Alitalia’s current role as a
marginal and "regional" airline.

                      Features of the Plan

Against this background, the Board of Directors has approved the
guidelines for a "Plan for survival/transition", aimed at
achieving conditions of sustainability and continuity for
Company activities in the short/medium term, waiting for the
definitive decision regarding the future ownership of the
Company and the consequent business organization.

Therefore, the Plan is characterized by a top priority of
reducing -– substantially and rapidly -– the Company’s losses
and the erosion of its equity through strategic actions
marked by strong discontinuity.

                   Macro-Objectives of the Plan

   -- to modify and downsize the Company’s business profile
      during the transition period, in order to make it more
      sustainable from an economic point of view in a context of
      improved operating efficiency;

   -- to safeguard the value of the Alitalia brand by redefining
      the Company’s mission and its distinctive competitive
      profile;

   -- to achieve better positioning in order to encourage
      participation by third parties with specific competencies
      and financial resources to support the Company’s
      development.

                          Main Actions

Operations

   -- repositioning the activities of Milan Malpensa airport by
      focusing on specific business segments:

   -- launching "point-to-point" services with dedicated
      aircraft to serve the Milan market on routes that are not
      operated from Milan Linate;

   -- developing low-cost activities through Volare Web focusing
      on the expanding leisure market;

   -- developing long-haul charter activities through Air
      Europe;

   -- consolidating the cargo business in Milan Malpensa with
      crew base and maintenance.  The Company is willing to
      reconsider this repositioning of activities at Milan
      Malpensa airport if and when the access regulations for
      Milan Linate airport were to be modified concentrating the
      major part of air traffic from/to Lombardy on Milan
      Malpensa, and if and when airport costs were reduced;

   -- increasing activities on Rome Fiumicino airport in order
      to fully exploit the characteristics of its "natural"
      market.  The implementation of a development plan by the
      airport management company to improve infrastructures and
      airport handling, together with a reduction in airport
      costs, constitutes a prerequisite for increasing
      activities on Rome Fiumicino;

   -- suspending flights with strongly negative economic results
      and with no prospects for recovery in the short term;

   -- regaining efficiency and productivity of human resources
      and the fleet;

   -- improving the quality of the product;

   -- reducing the number of short/medium-haul aircraft;

   -- limited reduction in the number of long-haul aircraft in
      the short term and growth prospects in the medium term;

   -- improving the efficiency of organisational structure by
      reducing the workforce and changing the terms and
      conditions of employment;

   -- As far as Alitalia Servizi is concerned:

      -- strengthening Alitalia’s operating and managing
         leadership;

      -- in agreement with Fintecna and the union organizations,
         entry of qualified industrial partners in the various
         business segments to take over (in a minority position)
         the responsibility for managing them; and

      -- potential option to bring back line maintenance
      activities within Alitalia (reinternalizing).

      Once the above steps have been taken, agreement with
      Fintecna to keep current Alitalia’s stake in Alitalia
      Servizi.

Financial

The Board also took note of the need to inject new financial
resources through a substantial increase of capital, to be
carried out in the coming months in connection with the project
to transfer the control of the Company.  The quantitative and
financial aspects of the Plan, to be completed and discussed at
the Board meeting on Sept. 7, will not take into account the
planned increase of capital.  

Therefore it would be possible to use these new financial
resources to improve and consolidate the Plan’s objectives, as a
first significant step towards reducing debt and recovering
growth prospects.

Stake Sale

Regarding the Government’s reconfirmed decision to transfer the
control of the Company and in line with the objective set by the
Company to quickly identify the industrial and financial
subjects willing and able to acquire control of the Company,
Alitalia has selected Citi as financial advisor to carry out the
project.

The Board mandated the Chairman to move ahead swiftly with
identifying in the shortest possible time potential investors
and the relative industrial and financial projects.

Appointment

Furthermore at this meeting, the Board of Directors appointed
Chief Financial Officer Vittorio Mazza as "Executive responsible
for drawing up the Company’s accounting documents", according to
article 154-bis of Legislative Decree no. 58 of Feb. 24, 1998,
with subsequent modifications, and article 24 of the Company
Statute.

The appointment is based on the favorable opinion expressed by
the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the requisites of
professionalism and trustworthiness set out in the Company
Statute.  

The Board of Directors took steps to verify the suitability of
the means and powers at the disposal of the Executive in order
to carry out his tasks.

CONISTON BV: Moody's Rates Classes E & F Notes at Low-B
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned long term credit ratings to
eight classes of notes issued by Morgan Stanley Investment
Management Coniston B.V., a Dutch special purpose company.  The
ratings are:

   -- Aaa to the EUR226,900,000 Class A1 Senior Floating Rate
      Notes due 2024;

   -- Aaa to the EUR56,700,000 Class A2 Senior Floating Rate
      Notes due 2024;

   -- Aa2 to the EUR24,600,000 Class B Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2024;

   -- A2 to the EUR24,000,000 Class C Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2024;

   -- Baa3 to the EUR17,600,000 Class D Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2024;

   -- Ba3 to the EUR19,600,000 Class E Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2024;

   -- B2 to the EUR6,400,000 Class F Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2024; and

   -- Aaa to the EUR25,000,000 Class S Combination Notes due
      2024.

The ratings of the senior notes and the deferrable notes address
the expected loss posed to investors by the legal maturity of
each class (in 2024).

The rating assigned by Moody's to the Class S Combination Notes
addresses the expected loss posed to investors by the legal
final maturity in 2024 as a proportion of the Rated Balance,
where the Rated Balance is equal, at any time, to the principal
amount of the Combination Notes on the closing date plus a Rated
Coupon of 0.25% per annum, minus the aggregate of all payments
made from the closing date to such date, either through interest
or principal payments.

These ratings are based upon:

   1. An assessment of the eligibility criteria and portfolio
      guidelines applicable to the future additions to the
      portfolio;

   2. The protection against losses through the subordination of
      the more junior classes of notes to the more senior
      classes of notes;

   3. The overcollateralization of the Notes;

   4. The proposed currency swap transactions, which insulate
      the Issuer from the volatility of the foreign currency
      exchange rates in respect of non-Euro denominated
      obligations;

   5. The expertise of Morgan Stanley Investment Management
      Limited as a collateral manager; and

   6. The legal and structural integrity of the issue.

This transaction is a high yield collateralized loan obligation
related to a collateral portfolio of approximately EUR400
million, comprised primarily of European senior, second lien and
mezzanine loans (with a predominance of senior secured loans)
and high yield bonds.  This portfolio is dynamically managed by
Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited.  This portfolio
will be partially acquired at closing date and partially during
the twelve months ramp-up period in compliance with portfolio
guidelines which include, among other tests, a diversity score
test, a weighted average rating factor test, a weighted average
recovery rate test and a weighted average spread test.
Thereafter, the portfolio of loans will be actively managed and
the portfolio manager will have the option to buy or sell assets
in the portfolio.  Any addition or removal of assets will be
subject to a number of portfolio criteria.


FIXED-LINK: Moody's Lifts Low-B Ratings on Four Note Classes
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded 4 classes of Notes issued by
Fixed Link Finance B.V.; the Class A1 and Class A2 Notes from
Ba3 to Aaa, and the Class B1 and Class B2 Notes from B3 to Aaa.

FLF is a special purpose company that has lent the proceeds of
the Notes to acquire interests in Eurotunnel Tier1 Loans, Tier 2
Loans, and Tier 3 Loans (the Junior Debt).  The ratings of the
Notes are based on the credit strength of Eurotunnel as well as
the structural features of the transaction.

Today's rating action takes account of the successful completion
of the debt restructuring plan following its approval by
shareholders.  As a result, all Tier 1 and Tier 2 Loans have
been repaid, and the proceeds used to fully cash-collateralize
the above four classes of Notes until the expected maturity of
the Notes, February 2009.  The cash has been invested according
to the investment guideline of the transaction, which meet
Moody's criteria.  Based on the latest information available,
taking account of the various expenses, currency of the various
cash reserves (approximately GBP436 million and EUR765 million)
and investment guideline followed, Moody's believes that there
will be sufficient cash to repay the Class A1, A2, B1 and B2
Notes at maturity, whereas the Class C2 Notes will experience a
loss.

Following this rating action, Fixed Link Finance B.V. has these
ratings outstanding:

   -- GBP232 million Guarantee Class G1 Notes due 2025 -- Aaa

   -- EUR365 million Guaranteed Class G2 Notes due 2025 -- Aaa

   -- GBP200 million Senior Class A1 Notes due 2025 -- Aaa

   -- EUR103 million Senior Class A2 Notes due 2025 -- Aaa

   -- GBP50,000 Senior Subordinated Class B1 Notes due
      2025 -- Aaa

   -- EUR135 million Senior Subordinated Class B2 Notes due
      2025 -- Aaa

   -- EUR142 million Subordinated Class C2 Notes due 2025 -- C

Fixed Link Finance B.V. is a special purpose company
incorporated in the Netherlands solely for the purpose of
issuing 7 classes of Notes and acquiring interests in the Junior
Debt of the Eurotunnel PLC and Eurotunnel S.A. group.  The
Eurotunnel PLC and Eurotunnel S.A. groups manage the
infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel and operates passenger
shuttle (car and coach) and truck shuttle services between
Folkestone in the UK and Coquelles in France.


GLOBAL POWER: TO File Ch. 11 Reorganization Plan on Sept. 10
------------------------------------------------------------
Global Power Equipment Group Inc. has reached an agreement in
principle with a number of the key constituencies in its
Chapter 11 case regarding the proposed terms upon which it will
emerge from bankruptcy protection, subject to approval by the
Bankruptcy Court.

The agreement states certain terms and conditions upon which the
constituencies will negotiate definitive documentation in
respect of the company's proposed Plan of Reorganization and
their support therefore.  The company expects to file its Plan,
disclosure statement and related documents on Sept. 10, 2007.
    
Parties to the accord include the company, both of the statutory
committees appointed to represent creditors and stockholders in
the Chapter 11 case, the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders,
and an ad hoc committee comprised of Global Power noteholders
holding approximately 94% of the company's senior subordinated
notes.
    
"This agreement marks a major step forward in our reorganization
effort and is an important validation of the strength of our
business plan as an independent, standalone company," John
Matheson, president and chief executive officer of Global Power,
said.  "Although much remains to be done, we are determined to
exit Chapter 11 quickly and on terms that will maximize the
recovery of all stakeholders.  Continued service and support for
our customers are ensured."
    
"This agreement is the product of intense negotiations among the
company, the committees, and the noteholders," Mr. Matheson
said.  "Throughout this process, we have worked to find common
ground that is consistent with the company's requirements for
exiting Chapter 11.  To that end, the plan settlement outline
reflects a structure that we believe strikes a fair settlement
for all stakeholders of the company."
    
Importantly, key elements of the agreement in principle reached
by the constituencies include:
    
   -- a rights offering available to all existing equity holders
      for the issuance of new common stock of the reorganized
      company backstopped by a group of certain holders of
      existing equity interests in an amount up to $90 million
      in cash to meet some of the funding requirements of the
      Plan;

   -- a proposed settlement (i) with holders of approximately
      94% of the company's senior subordinated notes for an
      aggregate cash consideration paid to all noteholders of
      the effective date of the Plan, and (ii) that provides for
      satisfaction of all claims against the company's Deltak
      subsidiary by the establishment of a trust and a cash
      reserve of $34 million which shall be used to fund
      payments to holders of allowed Deltak claims under the
      Plan;

   -- payment in full, in cash, of all allowed claims of
      creditors of the company and the company's Williams and
      Braden subsidiaries;

   -- all common stock of the reorganized company will be
      distributed to holders of the company's existing equity
      interests on account of their existing equity interests
      and/or on account of their subscription to the rights
      offering;

   -- it is anticipated the company will emerge from Chapter 11
      as a private company, with certain restrictions on the
      trading of the new common stock until such time as the new
      common stock may become registered and qualified for
      listing on a national exchange; and

   -- the establishment of a new secured credit facility to
      repay the company's existing debtor-in-possession
      financing facility and to meet other funding and working
      capital needs of the reorganized company under the Plan.

GROSVENOR PLACE: Moody's Rates EUR14 Mln Class E Notes at Ba3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned definitive credit ratings to
seven classes of notes issued by Grosvenor Place CLO III B.V., a
special purpose company incorporated under the laws of the
Netherlands.  The ratings are:


   -- Aaa to the EUR128,500,000 Class A-1 Senior Floating Rate
      Notes due 2023;

   -- Aaa to the EUR120,000,000 Class A-2 Senior Revolving
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023;

   -- Aaa to the EUR62,000,000 Class A-3 Senior Floating Rate
      Notes due 2023;

   -- Aa2 to the EUR36,500,000 Class B Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023;

   -- A2 to the EUR20,000,000 Class C Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023;

   -- Baa3 to the EUR28,500,000 Class D Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023; and

   -- Ba3 to the EUR14,000,000 Class E Deferrable Interest
      Floating Rate Notes due 2023.

The definitive ratings address the expected loss posed to
investors by the legal final maturity in 2023.  Moody's ratings
address only the credit risks associated with the transaction.
Other non-credit risks, such as those associated with the timing
of principal prepayments and other market risks, have not been
addressed and may have a significant effect on yield to
investors.

These definitive ratings are based upon:

   1. An assessment of the eligibility criteria and portfolio
      guidelines applicable to the future additions to the
      portfolio;

   2. the protection against losses through the subordination of
      the more junior classes of notes to the more senior
      classes of notes;

   3. the overcollateralization of the Notes;

   4. the analysis of the foreign currency risk involved in the
      transaction;

   5. the expertise of CQS Investment Management Limited as a
      collateral manager; and

   6. the legal and structural integrity of the issue.

This transaction is a high yield collateralized loan obligation
related to a collateral portfolio of approximately EUR436
million, comprised primarily of European senior and mezzanine
loans (with a predominance of senior secured loans).  This
portfolio is dynamically managed by CQS Investment Management
Limited.  This portfolio will be partially acquired on the
closing date and partially during the 15 months ramp-up period
in compliance with portfolio guidelines (which include, among
other tests, a diversity score test, a weighted average rating
factor test and a weighted average spread test).  Thereafter,
the portfolio of loans will be actively managed and the
portfolio manager will have the option to buy or sell assets in
the portfolio. Any addition or removal of assets will be subject
to a number of portfolio criteria.

This transaction features a multi-currency class of variable
funding notes, the Class A-2 Notes, which ranks pari-passu with
the Class A-1 Notes.  It can be drawn in Euros, US Dollars and
Sterling.  US Dollars and Sterling denominated advances will be
used to purchase loans denominated in US Dollars and Sterling.
Should such US Dollar and Sterling assets default, US Dollar and
Sterling advances would not be fully collateralized by US Dollar
and Sterling denominated assets and therefore Euro proceeds may
need to be converted into those two currencies in order to
redeem US Dollar and Sterling advances, thus creating a foreign
exchange risk exposure.  This currency risk has been considered
in Moody's analysis.

ZAPORIZHSTAL OJSC: Moody's Affirms B3 Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B3 corporate family
rating for VAT Zaporizhstal with a stable outlook.

The B3 rating reflects the company's stable but below-industry
average operational and financial results in 2006 and first six
months of 2007 underpinned by continued benign market conditions
for Ukrainian steel producers.  Moody's noted that in addition
to the use of less efficient production technology compared to
most Ukrainian and international peers, the low profitability
may also be partly attributed to the lack of transparency in the
transfer pricing to related, but unconsolidated companies
including trading partners responsible for the majority of
export sales and purchases of raw materials.  Going forward
Moody's expects that on-going capex investments aimed at
replacement of outdated technology and efficiency gains should
enable the company to better control costs and at the same time
to further develop higher value-added products.  However, such a
program would require substantial investments to be financed
mostly by debt resulting in a significant increase in leverage,
which may -- at least in the initial stage -- more than offset
the potential benefits.

Zaporizhstal is Ukraine's 4th largest vertically integrated
steel producer.  The company is specialized in production of
hot-rolled and cold-rolled flat products and exports 67% of its
output to mostly Turkey, Russia and CIS.  In 2006 the company
produced 4.4 million tonnes of crude steel and 3.6 million
tonnes of rolled, reported sales of UAH8.018 billion ( app.
US$1.6 billion) and EBITDA of UAH1,283 billion ( app. US$254
million).  Zaporizhstal is controlled by two main shareholders
Zaporizhye Group (44.98%) and by Midland Group (44.75%) with
free flow of 10.27%.

BAA LTD: Eyes 2,000 Job Cuts to Curb Costs and Hike Profits
-----------------------------------------------------------
BAA Ltd. (fka BAA plc), which employs 15,000 people worldwide,
is planning to eliminate up to 2,000 jobs in an attempt to cut
costs and increase profits, Ben Webster writes for The Times.

According to the report, the redundancies will affect all
departments except security.

A BAA source tells Mr. Webster that the group’s Spanish owner
Grupo Ferrovial “have a huge debt burden and they can’t sustain
that.  They are really drilling down costs and there is going to
be a complete restructuring of the business, with a couple of
thousand jobs going.”

A spokesman for BAA confirmed that there would be job cuts but
said “there is no final number.”   

The spokesman told the Times “this is a simplification exercise
aimed at support staff much more than frontline staff.  It’s not
simply about costs.  It’s about building a much leaner and more
efficient business.”

Meanwhile, airlines warned that a lack of staff could further
deteriorate the British airports operators’ service standards,
The Times relates.

                           About BAA

Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, BAA Ltd. (fka BAA plc)
-- http://www.baa.com/-- owns and operates seven airports in

Ferrovial SA, the Spanish construction company.  Ferrovial is

EUROTUNNEL GROUP: Posts EUR32 Mln Net Loss for First Half 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------
Eurotunnel Group released TNU's (formerly Eurotunnel SA
/Eurotunnel PLC) financial results ended June 30, 2007.

TNU posted net loss of EUR32 million for the first half ended
June 30, 2007, compared with a net loss of EUR105 million for
the same period in 2006.

Excluding the Minimum Usage Charge TNU recorded revenues of
EUR373 million compared with the EUR349 million revenues for the
same period in 2006.

In a buoyant cross-Channel market, TNU increased its market
share for its Passenger Shuttle business as well that of its
Truck activity, recording a substantial increase of 8% in its
Shuttle revenues to EUR240 million compared with EUR222 million
for the first half of 2006.

The reduction in net financial charges results from the one-off
effects of the terms of the safeguard plan, and is not
representative of the new credit agreements which are effective
from June 28, 2007.

The total equity of TNU PLC and TNU SA remains negative, at
EUR2.3 billion.

Following the Exchange Tender Offer completed in June 2007,
Groupe Eurotunnel SA took control of TNU.  The structure of TNU,
which in particular that of the Concessionnaires is unchanged.

The accounts for Groupe Eurotunnel SA will be prepared for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2007.

"We have made very tangible progress in our operations and the
company is ahead of its business plan.  To fully appreciate our
performance, it is important to take into account the loss of
the MUC, which represented, for the first half of 2006, 14% of
total revenue and which has been almost half compensated for in
this first six months.  All other things being equal, our
revenue has increased by 7% pro forma," Jacques Gounon, Chairman
and Chief Executive of Groupe Eurotunnel SA stated.

Mr. Gounon added, "While traffic is increasing, operating costs
continue nevertheless to decrease.  As a result of this, the pro
forma EBITDA shows substantial improvement and the operating
margin has reached 56%."

"The results of the first half of 2007 show a loss for TNU, much
reduced compared to 2006," Mr. Gounon concluded.

                       About Eurotunnel

RANK GROUP: Earns GBP341.8 Million in Six Months Ended June 30
--------------------------------------------------------------
Rank Group plc released unaudited interim financial results for
the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Rank reported GBP341.8 million in net profit for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, compared with GBP9.6 million in net profit
for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenue from continuing operations during the first six months
of 2007 increased by 2.6% to GBP284.6 million against the
comparable period in 2006.  Group operating profit rose by 26.1%
to GBP47.9 million with the cost saving initiatives introduced
in 2006 helping to generate a substantial improvement in
operating margin.

Rank’s interactive gaming business, Blue Square delivered growth
in operating profit before exceptional items of 77.4% to GBP5.5
million on a 40.9% increase in revenue.

Mecca Bingo delivered growth in like-for-like revenue but
operating profit declined slightly with a GBP4 million increase
in lease costs (arising from last year's sale and leaseback
transaction) off-setting the cost saving measures introduced in
2006.  Top Rank Espana shows good signs of recovering from the
introduction last year of a partial ban on smoking, with
operating profit returning to near pre-ban levels.

Grosvenor Casinos generated a modest improvement in operating
profit on good like-for-like revenue growth.  This represents a
highly creditable performance given the need to absorb GBP1.6
million of additional lease costs (arising from last year's sale
and leaseback transaction) and a GBP1.7 million unbudgeted
increase in casino gaming duty.

                      Smoking Ban Impact

During the course of the last 18 months, smoking in enclosed
public places has been progressively banned throughout the U.K.,
with legislation taking effect in Scotland (March 26, 2006),
Wales (April 2, 2007) and England (July 1, 2007).  The
introduction of these bans has had a discernible effect on
revenue within the Rank’s U.K. bingo clubs, due to the
relatively high incidence of smoking among its customers and the
structured nature of bingo gameplay.

In its Mecca Bingo clubs in Scotland, Rank saw a 17% fall in
like-for-like revenue during the 12 month period immediately
following the ban.  Between the anniversary of the ban's
introduction and Aug. 26, 2007, the group has generated a
3.9% improvement in revenue from its Scottish clubs, delivering
growth in each of the last four months.

In the period between the introduction of the smoking ban on
July 1, 2007 and Aug. 26, 2007, Rank has experienced a 4.4%
decline in like-for-like revenue from its bingo clubs in
England, although this performance has benefited from more
avorable weather and a higher level of promotional activity than
in the comparable weeks in 2006.  Its three clubs in Wales have
experienced a 6.1% decline in revenue between the introduction
of their ban on April 2, 2007 and Aug. 26, 2007.

                       Interim Dividend

The board has committed to maintain, as a minimum, the absolute
level of regular dividend per share in 2007 as was declared for
2006.  As a consequence, Rank is announcing an interim dividend
of 2.0p per share.  The dividend will be paid on Oct. 12, 2007
to shareholders on the register at Sept. 14, 2007.

                           Outlook

Rank has delivered a strong performance across the group in the
first half of 2007.  However, the second half of the year will
prove more challenging.  This is due mainly to the effects of
the smoking bans which are now in place across the U.K. and the
requirement for its bingo clubs and casinos to remove or convert
Section 21 terminals in time for the full implementation of the
2005 Act (on Sept. 1).

At June 30, 2007, the group's balance sheet showed GBP620.4
million in total assets, GBP606.2 million in total liabilities
and GBP14.2 million in total shareholders' equity.

President of USA.  He was the first Asian Scientist to receive
it.

Dr. Mashelkar has been propagating a culture of innovation and
balanced intellectual property rights regime for over a decade.
It was through his sustained and visionary campaign that growing
awareness of Intellectual Property Rights has dawned on Indian
academics, researches and corporates.

In the post-liberalized India, Dr. Mashelkar has played a
critical role in shaping India's S&T policies. He was a member
of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister and
also of the Scientific Advisory Committee to the Cabinet set up
by successive governments. The President of India honoured Dr.
Mashelkar with Padmashri (1991) and with Padmabhushan (2000).

TATA MOTORS: To Expand Product Range Offering to Russian Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tata Motors plans to expand its product range offering for the
Russian market.  Having introduced its Light Commercial
Vehicles, the company is exploring the possibility of entering
various segments of medium and heavy trucks and buses over the
next three years.

Tata Motors is displaying the diversity and range of its
products at the Moscow Motor Show (Interauto 2007).  On display
are the Xenon 4x4 pick-up (crew cab), Ace mini truck, Hispano
DIVO GT 3.5 bus, LP 613 bus, LPT 1618 trucks, Novus 6X4 Dumper,
Novus 6X4 Tractor. Of these, the Xenon 4x4 pick-up (crew cab)
and Ace mini truck (both manufactured by Tata Motors in India),
Hispano DIVO GT 3.5 bus (manufactured in Spain), LP 613 bus
(manufactured by Tata Motors' Russian partner - Volzhanin), LPT
613 truck applications (manufactured by Tata Motors' Russian

(manufactured by Tata Daewoo, Korea) are being displayed for the
first time in Russia.

P. M. Telang, Executive Director - Commercial Vehicle Business
Unit, Tata Motors, says, "Russia is a focus market in Tata
Motors’ global growth strategy.  It is the largest commercial
vehicle market in Eurasia, and offers significant opportunities
to those who deliver higher value to customers.  We are looking
at offering our customers the best value proposition, through
both, our products and services."

P. G. Shankar, Head - International Business, Commercial Vehicle
Business Unit, Tata Motors, says, "While our primary focus area
in Russia will be the Light Commercial Vehicle product range,
where we have proven ourselves in various world markets (like
South Africa, Italy, Spain and the Middle East) while competing
with all major international brands, we are looking at expanding
our product range offering in Russia over the next three years
to include models from the medium and heavy segment.  Tata
Motors and its associate companies are fully equipped to supply
our product range in accordance with Euro III emission norms by
January 1, 2008 when Russia changes over to Euro III
compliance."

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
US$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
Thursday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

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
