ACTUANT CORP: Inks Third Amendment to JP Morgan Credit Agreement
----------------------------------------------------------------
Actuant Corporation entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of Feb. 16, 2007, with JP
Morgan Chase Bank National Association as the administrative
agent.

The agreement amends and modifies the company's amended and
restated credit agreement, dated as of December 27, 2004.

The company said that the third amendment increased the existing
term loan facility from $250 million to $400 million, which is in
addition to the existing $250 million revolving credit facility,
eliminates amortization of the term loan such that the entire
amount of the term loan matures on Dec. 22, 2009.

Additionally, the third amendment permits the company future
incremental term loans and increases in aggregate revolving loan
commitments of up to an additional aggregate principal amount of
$200 million.  It also increases certain limits concerning the
incurrence of other indebtedness.

The company used the proceeds from the $150 million increase in
the term loans to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving
credit facility and reduce commercial paper borrowings.

AGCO CORP: Posts $128.1 Million Net Loss in Quarter Ended Dec. 31
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Agco Corp. reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended
Dec. 31, 2006.

The company reported a net loss of $128.1 million for the fourth
quarter of 2006.  The fourth quarter 2006 results reflected a
non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $171.4 million associated
with the company's Sprayer business.  Adjusted net income, which
excluded restructuring and other infrequent expenses and the non-
cash goodwill impairment charge, was $38.8 million for the fourth
quarter of 2006.  AGCO reported a net loss of $63.8 million and
adjusted net income of $26.9 million for the fourth quarter of
2005.  Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $1.6 billion,
an increase of 18% compared to $1,384.9 million of the same period
in 2005.

The company reported a net loss of $64.9 million for the full
year.  Adjusted net income, which excludes restructuring and other
infrequent expenses and the non-cash goodwill impairment charge,
was $102.7 million for the full year of 2006.  Net income for the
full year of 2005 was $31.6 million.  Adjusted net income, which
excludes restructuring and other infrequent income, costs
associated with a June 2005 bond redemption, and a non-cash
deferred income tax adjustment, was $31.6 million for the full
year of 2005.  Net sales for the full year of 2006 were
$5.4 billion, which were slightly below the prior year.

Excluding the impact of currency translation, AGCO's net sales
increased 11.1% during the fourth quarter and decreased 2.4% for
the full year of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, net sales increased in the South
America and Europe/Africa/Middle East regions, partially offset by
sales declines in the North America and Asia/Pacific regions.  For
the full year of 2006, net sales declined in the North America,
South America and Asia/Pacific regions, partially offset by sales
increases in the Europe/Africa/Middle East region.  The European
sales growth was led by strong results in Germany and Eastern
Europe where market conditions improved in 2006.  Net sales in
North America in 2006 were significantly lower compared to 2005
primarily due to weaker market conditions and lower deliveries to
dealers, resulting in a reduction in dealer inventory levels.  In
the South America and Asia/Pacific regions, weaker market
conditions contributed to the sales decline.

Adjusted income from operations increased $28.1 million for the
fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005
primarily due to increased sales achieved in the quarter.  For the
full year of 2006, adjusted income from operations decreased
$33.4 million compared to 2005 resulting from sales declines and
lower production levels.  Unit production of tractors and combines
for the full year of 2006 was 9% below 2005.

"AGCO delivered record free cash flow in 2006," Martin
Richenhagen, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated.  "The company's working capital focus throughout the year
resulted in free cash flow of over $300 million and enabled it to
further strengthen its balance sheet.  During 2006, AGCO reduced
its net debt to capital ratio from 30% to 20% and lowered its net
debt by $244 million.  Working capital management will continue to
be a major focus in 2007."

As disclosed in AGCO's third quarter 2006 Form 10-Q, the company
performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other
intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142 during the
fourth quarter.  As a result of this analysis, the company
determined that the total carrying amount of goodwill associated
with its Sprayer business should be written off, and, therefore,
the company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$171.4 million during the fourth quarter.  The company remained
committed to its Sprayer business and has strategies in place to
strengthen the Sprayer distribution network, enhance the product
line and improve future operating results.

At Dec. 31, 2006, AGCO Corp.'s balance sheet showed $4.114 billion
in total assets and $2.620 billion in total liabilities with
$1.5 billion in total stockholders' equity.

AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS: Earns $12.8 Mil. in Quarter Ended Dec. 31
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Reprographics Co. reported its financial results for the
fourth quarter, and year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $147 million
compared to $124.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, an
increase of 17.9%.  The company's gross margin in the fourth
quarter of 2006 was 41.6%, compared to 40.2% for the same period
in 2005.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was
$12.8 million compared to net income for the fourth quarter of
2005 of $8.6 million adjusted for a pre-tax charge incurred from
the early extinguishment of debt of $9.3 million.

Revenue for the full year ended Dec. 31, 2006, was $591.8 million,
compared to $494.2 million for 2005, a 19.8% increase year-over-
year.  The company's gross margin for the full year ended
Dec. 31, 2006, was 43.0%, compared to 41.4% for the 12 months
ended Dec. 31, 2005.  Net income for 2006 was $51.4 million per
diluted share, including a one-time $14 million litigation charge
related to the Louis Frey litigation.  Adjusted to exclude the
effect of the litigation charge net of tax, the company's net
income for 2006 was $59.8 million.

Net income for 2005 was $60.5 million including a one-time
$27.7 million income tax benefit due to the company's
reorganization from a limited liability company to a Delaware
corporation in conjunction with its IPO in February 2005.
Excluding the one-time income tax benefit due to reorganization,
debt write-off net of tax benefit, but including proforma
incremental tax provision, the company earned $38 million in 2005.
Accounting for the aforementioned adjustments, earnings per share
increased 48.9% in 2006.  Net cash provided by operating
activities in 2006 was $98.4 million, compared to $56.6 million in
2005.

"The focus the company applied to Premier Accounts this year has
begun to bear fruit," K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, President and COO,
said.  "The company recently signed an exclusive contract with
Boeing for the bulk of in-house printing, and the company gained a
number of other key customer wins throughout the year including
Burns & McDonald, Stantech, Gilbane Construction, and most
recently, Whiting- Turner."

"Separately, the refinement of the company's technology continues
to produce efficiencies across all of our business segments.
This, combined with the ongoing expansion of our global footprint,
has resulted in consistent improvement in ARC's operating margins.
The company's performance in 2006 will provide an excellent base
upon which to build in 2007."

                              Outlook

Based on current trends, American Reprographics Company expects
that full year 2007 revenue will be in the range of
$690-710 million.

ARMSTRONG WORLD: Inks $20 Mil. Settlement with Armstrong Holdings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Armstrong Holdings, Inc. and its former subsidiary, Armstrong
World Industries, Inc., have reached a settlement on all inter-
company claim and tax issues.

The settlement, if approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware, calls for AWI to pay AHI $20 million in
cash, and gives AHI an allowed claim under AWI's confirmed Plan of
Reorganization of $8.5 million.

The settlement gives AWI the right to make all relevant tax
elections and file all required tax returns on behalf of the
Armstrong group of companies for all relevant tax periods during
which the two companies were affiliated, and to receive and retain
all related tax refunds.  AHI would recover on the AHI Claim on
the same basis as other unsecured creditors of AWI under the AWI
Plan of Reorganization.  The initial distribution in satisfaction
of the $8.5 million AHI Claim would consist of approximately $2
million in cash plus approximately 98,690 shares of reorganized
AWI.

Shareholders of AHI will be mailed a notice of the hearing, which
is scheduled for April 2, 2007.

ASARCO LLC: AMC Wants Tax Agreement Response Deadline Stretched
---------------------------------------------------------------
Americas Mining Corporation and Asarco Inc. ask the Honorable
Richard S. Schmidt of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas to extend the deadline to allow them to file
responses to ASARCO LLC's Tax Sharing Agreement Rejection Motion,
Tax Protocol Agreement Motion and Tax Refund Adversary Proceeding,
until March 8, 2007.

As reported Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 12, 2007, ASARCO LLC
asked the Court to approve the proposed Tax Agreement Protocol,
which provides for Asarco Inc., AMC and its responsibilities
related to the tax issues.  At a hearing conducted on
Sept. 27, 2006, the Court instructed ASARCO LLC and Asarco
Incorporated to develop a protocol for dealing with tax issues and
exchanging tax information.  The Court also stated that if any
party does not obtain requested information, then that party can
file a motion seeking an order to provide that information.

In furtherance of the Court's order regarding a tax protocol,
ASARCO LLC's counsel drafted a proposed tax protocol agreement
and sent the proposal to Asarco Inc. and AMC for consideration and
comment.  Asarco Inc. and AMC have been wholly unresponsive to
ASARCO LLC's attempts to work out tax protocols and have been only
marginally responsive to its requests to exchange certain tax-
related information, James R. Prince, Esq., at Baker Botts L.L.P.,
in Dallas, Texas, told the Court.

          AMC, et al., Seek to Extend Response Deadline

AMC and Asarco Inc. point out that ASARCO LLC's Tax Sharing
Agreement Rejection Motion, Tax Protocol Agreement Motion and Tax
Refund Adversary Proceeding all revolve around the tax treatment
of the Debtors and the historical tax arrangements between the
Debtors, Asarco Inc., and related companies.

Brooks Hamilton, Esq., at Haynes and Boone, LLP, in Houston,
Texas, contends that AMC's and Asarco Inc.'s responses to the
Rejection and Protocol Motions and the Refund Adversary
Proceeding will all require an investigation into the same
factual and historic circumstances.

Given the factual similarities between and common legal issues
involved in the Motions and Adversary Proceeding, AMC and Asarco
Inc. contacted ASARCO LLC and asked for an extension of the
response date for the Protocol and Rejection Motions to
March 8, 2007, the response date for the Refund Adversary
Proceeding.

ASARCO LLC, however, refused to grant an extension.  Given the
overlap among the Protocol and Rejection Motions and the
Refund Adversary Proceeding, AMC and Asarco Inc. maintain that it
is logical and efficient to allow them to respond to all three
pleadings on the same schedule.

Requiring AMC and Asarco Inc. to respond to the Rejection and
Protocol Motions before filing an answer in the Refund Adversary
would result in a duplication of time, effort, and resources, Mr.
Hamilton asserts.

Granting the extension will not harm or prejudice the Debtors,
Mr. Hamilton says, since the delay will only be less than two
weeks.  No hearing date has been set for the Rejection Motion or
the Protocol Motion yet.

ASHMORE ENERGY: Fitch Rates $500 Million Senior Facility at BB
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned these ratings to Ashmore Energy
International, with a Stable Outlook:

-- Issuer Default Rating of 'BB';
-- Proposed $1 billion senior term loan;
-- $500 million senior revolver credit facility 'BB'.

Proceeds will be used to refinance $1 billion of existing senior
bridge loan facilities associated with the acquisition of Prisma
Energy International in a two-stage transaction that was completed
in September 2006.  The $1 billion senior term loan will be
secured by equity shares of AEI's top level holding companies.

A portion of the term loan ($300 million) will amortize on a
straight-line basis over the seven-year term ($42 million
annually) with the remainder ($700 million) due at maturity, as
well as a fully committed, five-year revolver of $500 million to
fund working capital and general corporate needs.

The ratings reflect a solid portfolio of energy companies with
predictable cash flow and moderate leverage.  The assets are
focused in three primary lines of business including: electric
distribution, power generation, and natural gas distribution and
transportation.  AEI's assets consist of 16 energy companies in
which AEI has direct or indirect control of the operation, as well
as three minority stakes.  All of the assets are operating and
generally performing well.  AEI's operating assets have a
relatively stable base of revenues and cash flows as more than 90%
of its revenues are either from contracted Power Purchase
Agreements or from regulated energy businesses.  Contract and
regulated revenues and cash flows tend to be more stable and have
lower business risk. Contracted revenues from long-term PPAs are
primarily with government-owned off-takers.  In addition, AEI has
an experienced operating management team.

Cash flows are geographically concentrated in Brazil and more
generally in Latin America.  From a portfolio standpoint, 87% of
consolidated cash flows can be attributed to companies located in
Latin America and 64% of consolidated cash flows are derived from
Brazilian assets.  Cash flow is concentrated in non-investment-
grade countries and is generally rated in the 'BB/BB-' range.
Additionally, AEI's cash flow is concentrated in five key assets:
Elektro (Brazil), Cuiaba (Brazil), San Felipe (Dominican
Republic), Promigas (Colombia), and Trakya (Turkey).  The largest
cash flow contributor is Brazilian power distribution company,
Elektro, which at the end of fiscal 2006, represented 43% of
consolidated EBITDA and approximately 55.3% of AEI's dividend cash
flow. Elektro is a moderately low risk electric distribution
business serving 1.9 million customers in the State of Sao Paulo.
Elektro operating company leverage is low, with net debt to EBITDA
of 1.1x for fiscal year-end 2006.  Concentrations somewhat limit
the benefits of diversification.

AEI is moderately leveraged with debt and cash flow levels
consistent with the rating category.  Leverage as measured by
consolidated debt to EBITDA is currently around 3.7x.
Consolidated debt approximates $2.5 billion and consolidated
EBITDA is currently estimated to be between $650 million to
$675 million; the company also generates an additional
$100 million to $125 million in interest income from current cash
balances.  Over the next few years, leverage is expected to trend
lower as total consolidated debt to EBITDA should drop below 3x by
2010.

AEI's liquidity is strong as exemplified in both cash flow to debt
service coverage and net debt to EBITDA ratios.  Healthy levels of
consolidated cash at approximately $1 billion, as well as the
$500 million revolver, permit the company to weather any potential
downturns in the business, and will enable the company to continue
to carry out strategic initiatives.

Fitch expects that the company will continue to maintain
sufficient cash on the balance sheet to provide adequate liquidity
in the business for future investment purposes.  AEI anticipates
that parent company balance sheet cash will decrease to
approximate $800 million by fiscal year-end 2007 and then continue
to build absent any additional investment.

Parent-level free cash flow is solid and at levels sufficient to
manageably service debt.  Dividends and other cash flows from the
operating companies to the holding company should exceed
$450 million annually over the next several years.  Parent company
debt currently totals $1.6 billion and consists of $976 million of
senior term loan and approximately $560 million of payment-in-kind
notes.  Parent company debt is expected to gradually increase as
the par value of the subordinated PIK notes increases.  Parent
company debt service is expected to be approximately $125 million.
Over the next several years free cash flow to debt service should
remain stable, ranging between 3.0x-3.5x.

The ratings incorporate the structural subordination of the bank
facility to operating company debt. Parent company debt of
$1.6 billion represents 62% of consolidated debt; Elektro third-
party debt is $417 million or 17% of consolidated debt.  Total
consolidated debt of $2.5 billion is balanced between the
operating and parent company at $929 million and $1.5 billion,
respectively.

Consolidated EBITDA for fiscal 2006 is estimated to be between
$650 million-$675 million; current interest income is running
between $100 million-$125 million annually.  Operating company
debt is generally funded in local currencies, reducing foreign
exchange risk.  The term loan and revolver are structurally
subordinate to operating company debt and rely on dividends from
the key assets.  Parent company debt also includes $560 million of
subordinate PIK notes which have limited acceleration rights.
Over the medium term, projected 2008 dividend cash flows to AEI
are expected to cover debt service by slightly more than 4x on
average.

Ashmore Energy International owns and operates a portfolio of
energy infrastructure assets in power generation, transmission,
and distribution of natural gas, gas liquids, and electric power.
AEI's portfolio, directly or indirectly, consists of 19 companies
in 14 countries, most of which are located in Latin America.  The
company's largest asset is Brazilian electric distribution
company, Elektro, which represents approximately 43% of EBITDA,
and 55.3% of fiscal 2006 consolidated cash flow to parent company
AEI.  Consolidated revenues and EBITDA are approximately
$2.5 billion and $650 million-$675 million, respectively.
Consolidated debt and balance sheet cash are expected to be $2.5
billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, at fiscal year-end 2006.

SAMI II Trust 2007-AR1.  The NIM Notes, Series 2007-N2-XI are
backed by 100% interest in the underlying Class C Certificates
issued by the underlying BSMF 2007-SL1 Trust.  The underlying
Class I-B-IO and I-XP and Class C Certificates will be entitled to
receive the excess cash flows and prepayment charges, if any,
generated by the mortgage loans each month after payment of all
the required distributions.  The NIM Notes, Series 2007-N2-XI will
also be entitled to the benefits of underlying swap agreements
with Bear Stearns Financial Products Inc.

Payments on the NIM Notes, Series 2007-N2-IV will be made on the
second business day after the distribution date of the underlying
certificates, commencing in February 2007.  Payments on the NIM
Notes, Series 2007-N2-XI will be made on the first business day

originated or acquired by Bear Stearns Residential Mortgage
Corporation and EMC Mortgage Corporation from various originators

mortgages, primarily indexed to the 12-month treasury average
with a negative amortization feature.

Approximately 72.80% of the mortgage loans in the BSMF Trust
2007-SL1 were purchased by EMC Mortgage Corporation from various

remaining 27.20% were originated by Bear Stearns Residential
Mortgage Corporation.  The loans from the BSMF Trust 2007-SL1
are fixed-rate, second-lien mortgage loans, which are subordinate
to the senior-lien mortgage loans on the respective properties.


BIO-RAD LABORATORIES: Earns $16.6 Million in 2006 Fourth Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. reported that for fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2006, revenues were $343.1 million, up 11.6% compared
to $307.3 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2005.  On a
currency-neutral basis, revenues increased 7.6% compared to the
same period last year.  This growth was primarily organic across
product areas in both the Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics
segments complemented by two acquisitions completed during the
fourth quarter.

Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was
$16.6 million compared to $13.5 million during the fourth quarter
last year.  Fourth-quarter gross margin from continuing operations
was 54.1% compared to 52.9% in the same period last year.

For the full year, Company sales grew by 7.9% to $1,273.9 million
compared to $1,181.0 in 2005.  Normalizing for the impact of
currency effects, growth was 7.7%. Favorable impacts on year-to-
date figures for 2006 include a Russian tender won in the first
quarter for laboratory equipment as well as one-time additional
revenue of $11.7 million resulting from a licensing settlement
agreement reached with bioMerieux SA.  Full-year gross margin from
continuing operations was 55.9%, up from last year's figure of
54.7%.

Year-over-year income from continuing operations grew 33.1% to
$103.3 million, from $77.6 million, in 2005.

"2006 was a year of continued progress on many fronts," said
Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad president and chief executive officer.
"The year brought increased organic growth within our core
businesses, expansion of our product lines through new product
introductions and strategic acquisitions, and infrastructure
improvements. As a result, Bio-Rad is well-positioned in key
market areas and has a strengthened foundation for the long term."

                        Life Science

The Life Science segment net sales for the quarter were
$159.0 million, up 13.0% compared to the fourth quarter of last
year.  On a currency-neutral basis, segment sales increased by
8.8%. Full-year reported revenues were $575.6 million for the
segment, up 4.7% over the prior year, or 4.6% on a currency-
neutral basis. Performance in the Life Science segment was boosted
by a number of factors including significant growth in protein
expression analysis, process chromatography, and amplification
reagents.  In addition, the segment benefited from the purchase of
Ciphergen Biosystems, Inc.'s life science business including
worldwide technology rights to Ciphergen's Surface Enhanced Laser
Desorption/Ionization (SELDI) technology and ProteinChip(R)
System.  These results were somewhat tempered by reduced BSE
revenue and slowed life science markets in the U.S. and Japan.

                    Clinical Diagnostics

The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $180.1
million for the quarter, up 10.6% compared to the prior-year
quarter, or 6.5% excluding currency effects. Full-year segment
sales were $684.9 million, a 10.8% increase compared to 2005
results, or 10.4% excluding currency effects. These results were
largely due to continued growth across all product lines, most
notably blood virus products as well as MRSASelect(TM) chromogenic
media, which detects Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Sales of quality controls product lines were also up significantly
during the quarter. During the quarter, the segment completed the
purchase of Blackhawk BioSystems, Inc., a manufacturer of
infectious disease quality control products.

       use in conjunction with the D-10(TM) Hemoglobin Testing
       System, which expanded the sample handling capacity of the
       system to 50 samples per run.

     * In September, Bio-Rad announced the availability of the
       ProteOn(TM) XPR36 Protein Interaction Array System. In
       addition, the Company announced that it had completed the

CELESTICA INC: Incurs $60.8 Mil. Net Loss in 2006 Fourth Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
Celestica Inc. reported $60.8 million of net loss on $2.26 billion
of revenue for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006 compared
with $28.2 million net loss on $2.07 billion of revenue for the
same period of 2005.

"While revenues for the fourth quarter came in above the high-end
of the updated guidance, our financial results were extremely
disappointing.  The year to year growth in the consumer segment
was offset by higher than expected demand reductions from several
key customers in the telecommunications segment.  This demand
reduction along with the impact of the inventory provision taken
in Mexico significantly impacted operating margins," said Craig
Muhlhauser, President and Chief Executive Officer, Celestica.

"We have implemented and will continue to implement aggressive
actions to materially improve the performance of our Mexican
facilities by standardizing our ERP platform, re-architecting our
warehouse logistics and strengthening the local management team
while driving more efficiency and cost reductions.  In light of
our current outlook, we are also reducing our overhead structures
and costs globally.  These actions will result in an additional
$60 to $80 million of restructuring charges, $40 million of which
has been recorded in the fourth quarter, with the remaining
charges to be incurred during 2007."

CHARTER COMM: Expects $1.413 Billion Profit in Fourth Quarter 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------
Charter Communications, Inc. reported preliminary, unaudited
results for the fourth quarter of 2006, in connection to providing
information to certain potential investors in proposed new credit
facilities in conjunction with the refinancing and expansion of
its existing credit facilities.

Charter expects revenues for the of $1.413 billion, which
represents an increase of 11.7% compared to the same period in
2005 on a pro forma basis, and an increase of approximately 9.8%
on an actual basis.

Operating expenses increased by $89 million, or 10.8%, in the
fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 on
an actual basis, due in large part to increased programming
expense from annual rate increases and higher volumes of advanced
services purchases, well as expenditures to support higher rates
of customer growth and retention related to Charter's accelerated
telephone roll out.

Charter expects annual revenues will increase 10% compared to pro
forma 2005, and pro forma adjusted EBITDA will increase 5.3%
compared to pro forma 2005.  The company expects actual annual
revenues to be $5.504 billion; an increase of 9.4% compared to
2005, and adjusted EBITDA to be $1.941 billion, an increase of
4.5% compared to 2005.

Certain financial comparisons are made on a pro forma basis,
adjusted for the acquisition of cable systems in January 2006 and
the sales of certain cable systems in July 2005 and the third
quarter of 2006 as if they occurred on Jan. 1, 2005.  However, all
transactions completed in January 2006 and the third quarter of
2006 have been reflected in the operating statistic comparisons.

Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2006 are expected
to be $308 million, which would be higher than capital
expenditures of $273 million during the same quarter in the prior
year.  Capital expenditures for the full year 2006 are expected to
be $1.103 billion, compared to $1.088 billion in 2005.
Approximately 75% of Charter's 2006 capital expenditures were
success-based, up from 68% in 2005.  During 2007, Charter expects
capital expenditures to be $1.2 billion.

As of Dec. 31, 2006, Charter had $19.062 billion in long-term
debt, including $5.395 billion in credit facilities at Charter
Communications Operating, LLC.  Charter reported the initiation of
a syndication to refinance and expand its senior credit
facilities.  Upon completion of the syndication process and the
closing of this transaction, the company expected to have adequate
liquidity to fund its operations and service its debt through
2008.

Charter will announce complete financial and operating results on
Feb. 28, 2007 at a conference call.

CNH GLOBAL: Earns $35 Million in Fourth Quarter 2006
----------------------------------------------------
CNH Global N.V. reported fourth quarter 2006 net income of
$35 million, up compared to net income of $7 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  Results include restructuring charges, net of
tax, of $58 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, and $36 million
in 2005.

Full year 2006 net income of $292 million was up 79% compared to
net income of $163 million in 2005.  Results include restructuring
charges, net of tax, of $71 million in 2006, and $60 million in
2005.

"Our Equipment Operations gross margin improvement continued into
the fourth quarter, up 1.9 percentage points compared with last
year and up 2.1 percentage points for the full year compared with
last year.  By refocusing our efforts on our dealers and
customers, we have set the stage for continued future
improvements," said Harold Boyanovsky, CNH president and chief
executive officer.  "While we are pleased with the progress made
in 2006, we have set even more aggressive targets to continue
improving results in 2007."

Financial highlights for the full year include:

-- The company's improved product value positioning with customers
   allowed it to maintain pricing at a higher level than its total
   economics and currency-related cost increases, resulting in
   positive net price recovery for both Agricultural and
   Construction Equipment Operations.

-- Research and development spending increased 21% from 2005,
   reflecting CNH's continued investments in product innovation
   and quality.

-- Restructuring costs totaling $71 million, net of taxes, were
   booked in the year, principally related to the actions
   announced in October.

-- Inventory levels at the end of 2006 of 4 forward months of
   supply, were slightly lower than at the end of 2005.

Net sales of equipment, comprising the company's agricultural and
construction equipment businesses, were $12.1 billion, up 3%
compared to $11.8 billion in 2005.  Net of currency variations,
net sales increased 2%.

Agricultural equipment net sales of $7.8 billion were essentially
the same as in 2005.  Excluding currency variations, net sales
were down 1%.

Construction equipment net sales increased 9% to $4.3 billion,
compared to the prior year.  Net sales increased for positive
pricing, sales of new products, favorable volume and mix and
favorable effects of exchange rate changes.  Net sales were up 8%
excluding currency variations.

Financial Services operations reported 11% higher net income of
$222 million, compared to $200 million last year, reflecting
portfolio growth in North America and Brazil and higher gains on
asset backed securitizations partially offset by higher funding
costs, higher SG&A, including increased provisions for credit
losses on the Brazilian agricultural portfolio as a result of
government sponsored renegotiation programs, and higher other
expense.

                  Net Debt and Operating Cash Flow

Equipment Operations net debt (defined as total debt less cash and
cash equivalents, deposits in Fiat affiliates cash management
pools and intersegment notes receivables) was $263 million on
Dec.  31, 2006, compared to $378 million at Sept. 30, 2006, and

the quarter, were $99 million.

For the year, net debt decreased by $456 million.  $715 million of
cash was generated by operating activities, primarily from

2014 in a private offering, to repay debt to Fiat and debt
guaranteed by Fiat.  In July, Case New Holland Inc. exchanged 100%
of these notes for 7.125% Senior Notes due 2014 that were
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Financial Services net debt increased by $725 million to
$4.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2006, from Dec. 31, 2005, driven
primarily by retail portfolio growth in North America and Brazil.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER: Chrysler's Bidding Process May Start This Week
---------------------------------------------------------------
DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group's bidding process is likely to
start this week, The Detroit News reports.

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. will hand out a detailed prospectus to a
limited number of potential buyers, which includes Cerberus
Capital, Apollo Management, the Carlyle Group, and the Blackstone
Group, The Detroit News adds.

One potential bidder is OAO Gaz Group, Russia's second largest
auto company, German weekly Focus magazine notes.  Chrysler
supplies four-cylinder engines for cars and mini-vans to Gaz.

                          General Motors

According to the Financial Times, if a deal between
DaimlerChrysler and General Motors Corp. for Chrysler will push
through, the German-based automaker will consider buying a
minority stake in the U.S.-based company.

The Chrysler Group is facing a difficult market environment in the
United States with excess inventory, non-competitive legacy costs
for employees and retirees, continuing high fuel prices and a
stronger shift in demand toward smaller vehicles.  At the same
time, key competitors have further increased margin and volume
pressures -- particularly on light trucks -- by making significant
price concessions.  In addition, increased interest rates caused
higher sales & marketing expenses.

In order to improve the earnings situation of the Chrysler Group
as quickly and comprehensively, measures to increase sales and cut
costs in the short term are being examined at all stages of the
value chain, in addition to structural changes being reviewed as
well.


DAIMLERCHRYSLER: Magna Makes Chrysler's New Seating Features
------------------------------------------------------------
Intier Automotive Seating, an operating unit of Magna
International Inc., in conjunction with Chrysler Group, has co-
engineered and manufactured new seating features for Chrysler
Group's 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2008 Chrysler Town & Country.

Chrysler Group's new 2008 minivans, unveiled at this year's North
American International Auto Show, offer three distinct seating and
storage options.

The newest seating option is a cutting-edge seating technology
called Swivel 'n Go(TM).  It includes second-row quad seats that
swivel 180 degrees rearward to face the third-row seats.

Swivel 'n Go also includes a removable table that installs between
the second- and third-row seats.  The seats swivel outward, which
eases entry and exit or the placement of a child in a car seat.
Both swiveling seats can also be removed.

Heated cloth or leather first- and second-row seats are available
in the Swivel 'n Go and industry-exclusive Stow 'n Go(R) seating
and storage system configurations in the 2008 Chrysler Group
minivans.

"Consumers today are spending more and more time in their
vehicles, ultimately placing a greater emphasis on comfort and
convenience," says Jeff Lambert, Intier Automotive Seating Chief
Engineer for the Chrysler Group minivan seats.

"The Swivel 'n Go seating system, an industry-first in the North
American market, raises the bar by offering a family room on
wheels."

To further enhance the new minivans, Chrysler Group worked with
Intier Automotive Seating to develop a powered version of its
fold-in-the-floor third-row seat.

The one-touch operation, which stows the seat in less than
15 seconds, is a minivan first.  The one-touch, power-folding,
third-row seat will stow in four different modes.

Depending on the passenger/cargo needs, the entire seat can stow,
be in tailgate mode or each section of the seat can stow or
tailgate individually.

The third-row, power-folding seat also includes an obstacle-
detection system that will stop the seat from folding in the event
a person or object is in the way.

"Our drive at Intier Seating is to accommodate our customer's
unique functional requests and to provide innovative applications
like these that translate into market advantages for the vehicle,"
said Joe Pittel, president of Intier Automotive Seating.

Swivel 'n Go and Stow 'n Go are registered trademarks of
DaimlerChrysler Corporation.

DRS TECHNOLOGIES: Earns $35.1 Million in 2007 Third Fiscal Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------------
DRS Technologies, Inc. reported record financial results for the
fiscal 2007 third quarter and nine-month period, which ended
Dec. 31, 2006.

Fiscal 2007 third quarter revenues were $680.4 million, 75% higher
than revenues of $389.5 million for last year's third quarter.
The company's organic revenue growth, accounted for 12.6% sales
increase, with the balance of the increase attributable to the
company's acquisition of Engineered Support Systems, Inc.
completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

The company's operating income of $76.6 million in the quarter was
71% higher than the $44.8 million reported for the third quarter
of fiscal 2006.  The increase was attributable to the higher
overall sales volume.  The operating margin for the fiscal 2007
third quarter was 11.3%.

Interest and other expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal
2007 was $29.8 million, compared with $10.3 million for the same
quarter a year ago.  The increase was due to higher interest
expense related to borrowings associated with financing the ESSI
acquisition.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed total assets
of $4.17 billion compared to $ 4.029 billion at March 31, 2006 and
total liabilities of $2.71 billion compared to $2.67 billion at
March 31, 2006, with total shareholders equity of $ 1.45 billion

                  Fiscal 2007 Nine-Month Results

For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, DRS posted record
revenues of $2.02 billion, 86% above revenues of $1.09 billion for
the same period last year.  Higher revenues for the nine-month
period were attributable to the company's acquisition of ESSI in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, well as to strong organic
growth, especially in the company's ground vehicle sighting and
targeting systems, uncooled infrared products, embedded vehicle
diagnostics systems and international naval sensor systems product
lines.  Organic revenue growth accounted for 14.8% of the increase
in the nine-month period.

Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was a
record $213.5 million, 80% above the $118.5 million reported for
the same period a year earlier.  The fiscal 2007 nine-month
operating margin was 10.6%.  Higher operating income was due to
the increased sales volume over the same period in the prior year.

Interest and other expense, net for the first nine months of
fiscal 2007 was $89.9 million, compared with $31.2 million for the
same period a year earlier.  The increase was due to higher
interest expense related to borrowings associated with financing
the ESSI acquisition.

The effective income tax rate for the first three quarters of
fiscal 2007 was 33%, compared with 39% for the same period last
year.

Net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 were a
record $81.6 million, up 55% from net earnings of $52.7 million
for the same nine-month period a year earlier.

Free cash flow for the fiscal 2007 nine-month period was
$23.5 million, compared with free cash flow of $33.1 million for
the same period last year.  The decrease in the nine-month period
was due to increases in accounts receivable, inventory and
interest obligations, partially offset by an increase in customer
advances.  Net cash provided by operating activities was
$61.7 million, and capital expenditures were $38.2 million.

FAIRFAX FINANCIAL: Earns $159.1 Million in 2006 Fourth Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fairfax Financial Holdings reported $159.1 million in net earnings
for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $227.5 million for the 2006
year, including the effects of a $69.7 million pre-tax gain on the
secondary offering of OdysseyRe common stock during the fourth
quarter and a $412.6 million pre-tax and after-tax non-cash charge
related to the commutation in the third quarter of the Swiss Re
corporate insurance cover.

Fairfax's insurance and reinsurance operations generated favorable
underwriting results in 2006, notwithstanding the anticipated
continued broad softening in 2006 in commercial insurance and
reinsurance classes and lines of business other than certain
catastrophe-exposed commercial property markets.  The combined
ratios of Fairfax's insurance and reinsurance operations were
88.4% and 95.5% for the fourth quarter and 2006 year,
respectively, compared to 112.7% and 107.7% for the fourth quarter
and 2005 year, respectively (prior to giving effect to the 2005
hurricane losses, the 2005 fourth quarter and fiscal year combined
ratios were 92.0% and 93.7%, respectively).  Fairfax's insurance
and reinsurance operations produced an aggregate underwriting
profit of $198.2 million in 2006, compared to an aggregate
underwriting loss of $333.9 million in 2005.

The improved underwriting results and significantly increased
investment income, combined with major initiatives including the
company's OdysseyRe secondary offering and the commutation of the
Swiss Re corporate insurance cover, allowed Fairfax to strengthen
its financial position during 2006.  Corporate liquidity remained
strong, and Fairfax ended 2006 with $767.4 million of cash, short-
term investments and marketable securities at the holding company
level, increased from $559.0 million at the end of 2005. Holding
company debt decreased by $210.1 million during the year to
$1,399.7 million, and Fairfax's debt maturity profile remained
largely unchanged, with no significant debt maturities until 2012.

Prem Watsa, chairman and CEO, commented, "During 2006, our
operating insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries performed well
and generated significant underwriting profits, while in our
runoff units we continued to make solid progress in reducing
claims and containing costs.  Our investment performance was
gratifying given the conservative positioning of our investment
portfolio.  We successfully undertook several measures to
significantly strengthen our balance sheet and to bolster our
liquidity.  We enter 2007 with improved financial strength,
disciplined and underwriting-focused operating teams at our
insurance and reinsurance companies, effective and economical
management of our runoff units and very conservative investment
portfolios."

Other highlights for 2006 included:

     * Net premiums written during 2006 at the company's
       insurance and reinsurance operations increased modestly to
       $4.43 billion from $4.35 billion.

     * Cash flow from operations at Northbridge, Crum & Forster
       and OdysseyRe during 2006, even though impacted by the
       payment of 2005 hurricane claims, increased significantly
       to $1,024.0 million from $752.4 million in 2005.

     * Total interest and dividend income increased to
       $746.5 million in 2006 from $466.1 million in 2005, due
       primarily to higher short term interest rates and
       increased investment portfolios arising from positive cash
       flows from operations and the realization of investment
       gains.

     * Net realized gains on portfolio investments in 2006
       increased significantly to $765.6 million (after being
       reduced by $251.0 million of losses, including mark-to-
       market adjustments recorded as realized losses, related to
       derivative securities positions) from $385.7 million in
       2005 (after being reduced by $107.8 million of losses,
       including mark-to-market adjustments recorded as realized
       losses, related to derivative securities positions).

     * During the fourth quarter, the company sold 10.165 million
       common shares of OdysseyRe in a public secondary offering
       for net proceeds of $337.6 million and a gain on sale of
       $69.7 million, reducing the company's ownership of
       OdysseyRe to 59.6%.

     * During the third quarter, the company commuted the Swiss
       Re corporate insurance cover.  As a result of this
       transaction, reinsurance recoverables declined by $1
       billion, funds withheld payable to reinsurers declined by
       $587.4 million and the company recorded a $412.6 million
       non-cash charge (pre-tax and after-tax) in its European
       runoff unit.

     * The Runoff and Other segment had a 2006 pre-tax loss of
       $20.8 million excluding the financial impact of the
       aforementioned gain on the OdysseyRe common shares sold by
       U.S. Runoff companies to facilitate the company's public
       secondary offering (U.S. Runoff recorded a pre-tax gain on
       sale of $111.6 million, a portion of which was eliminated
       on consolidation, resulting in a $69.7 million pre-tax
       gain on a consolidated basis) and the $412.6 million pre-
       tax and after-tax charge recorded by European Runoff on
       the commutation of the Swiss Re corporate insurance cover.
       The 2006 pre-tax loss for Runoff and Other was
       $321.8 million.

     * During the fourth quarter of 2006, in recognition of
       progress made to date and the reduced level of resources
       required going forward, the company announced the closing
       of three U.S. runoff locations and reduced worldwide
       runoff staffing levels, incurring a pre-tax charge of
       $14.7 million.

     * Consolidated cash and investments increased to
       $16.8 billion at December 31, 2006 from $14.9 billion at
       the end of 2005 (net of $783.3 million and $700.3 million,
       respectively, of liabilities for economic hedges against a
       decline in the equity markets).

     * The pre-tax net unrealized gain on portfolio investments
       declined to $310.6 million at December 31, 2006 from
       $558.4 million at the end of 2005, after realizing $765.6
       million in net gains during 2006.

     * Total common shareholders' equity increased to $2.7
       billion ($150.16 per basic share) at December 31, 2006
       from $2.4 billion ($137.50 per basic share) at Dec. 31,
       2005, principally as a result of 2006 earnings.

     * Reinsurance recoverables decreased to $5.5 billion at
       December 31, 2006 from $7.7 billion at December 31, 2005,
       reflecting the $1 billion Swiss Re commutation,
       collections on paid claims related to 2005 hurricane ceded
       losses and continued collections and commutations by the
       runoff units.

     * At December 31, 2006, Crum & Forster's principal operating
       subsidiaries remained in a positive earned surplus
       position, with a combined estimated dividend capacity in
       2007 of $138.4 million.

FRASER PAPERS: Posts $114 Million Net Loss in Year Ended Dec. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fraser Papers Inc. reported a net loss of $12 million on net sales
of $187 million for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006,
compared with a net loss of $22 million on net sales of
$219 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

The decrease was mainly attributable to the sale of the paperboard
operations in 2005, the sale of the New Brunswick Timberlands in
January, 2006, and the permanent closure of the Berlin pulp mill
in April, 2006.

"Despite fourth quarter results that were impacted by sawmill
closures and maintenance downtime at two of our pulp and paper
facilities, we were successful at improving our product mix by
selling higher margin packaging and printing papers which
displaced lower margin commodity products.  We are confident that
we will continue to build upon this progress during 2007 and we
remain very focused on capturing the upside that exists at our
paper operations from increased throughput and lower costs," said
Dominic Gammiero, CEO of Fraser Papers.

For the full year 2006, the company generated a net loss of
$114 million on net sales of $796 million, compared with a net
loss of $29 million on net sales of $918 million in 2005.  Results
for 2006 include charges of $161 million related to investment
write-offs and plant closures, partly offset by a gain of
$71 million on the sale of the company's timberland operations in
New Brunswick.  In 2005, the company recorded a $46 million gain
on the sale of its timberland operations in Maine and a
$41 million asset impairment charge.

The company continued to improve its mix of products with higher
shipments of specialty packaging and printing papers relative to
lower margin commodity freesheet grades.  During 2006, shipments
of specialty products improved 9% while shipments of commodity
grades fell 25%.

The achievement in total product mix generated $21 million of
additional sales margin during the year, representing the largest
contributing factor to the company's year-over-year margin
improvement program in 2006.  Full year margin improvement totaled
$31 million exceeding the target of $29 million for the year.
Unfortunately, these margin improvements served to only partly
offset significant cost pressures from energy, chemical costs and
the strengthened Canadian dollar.  For 2006, these cost pressures
negatively affected results by $41 million when compared to 2005.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed $556 million
in total assets, $224 million in total liabilities, and
$332 million in total stockholders' equity.

                    Closure of Berlin Pulp Mill

In April 2006, Fraser Papers permanently shut its 227,000 tonne
per year hardwood kraft pulp mill in Berlin, New Hampshire.
Operating costs, which had averaged $540 per tonne of pulp in the
first quarter of 2006, were uncompetitive.  During the quarter,
Fraser Papers sold the assets relating to the Berlin mill
including the property, plant and remaining equipment for net
proceeds of $3 million.  No gain or loss was recorded on the sale.

              Sale of New Brunswick Timberland Assets

On Jan. 31, 2006, Fraser Papers sold its timberland assets in New
Brunswick to Acadian Timber Income Fund.  Net proceeds were
$125 million, including $94 million in cash and $31 million of
securities which are exchangeable for 3.6 million units of the
Fund, representing a 30% interest in the equity of the Fund, or a
22% interest in the Fund on a fully diluted basis.  The sale of
the NB Timberlands assets resulted in a gain of $71 million.

In conjunction with the sale, Fraser Papers entered into
agreements with Acadian whereby Fraser Papers retained the right
to purchase fibre, in amounts approximately equal to its
historical consumption, for a period of up to 20 years at
prevailing market prices.

                     Smart Papers Restructuring

Smart Papers LLC and its affiliates, a previous equity investment
of the company, filed for creditor protection under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the first quarter of 2006.
As a result, in the first quarter Fraser Papers recorded a charge
of $107 million, consisting of an impairment charge against its
investment in Smart Papers of $74 million, a provision of
$15 million against a receivable from Smart Papers related to the
lease of a boiler at one of its locations and estimated accruals
of $18 million related to financial guarantees.  In the fourth
quarter, an additional $4 million accrual was established due to
revisions to the initial estimates.

               Purchase and Repayment of Senior Notes

During the first six months of 2006, the company made market
purchases totaling $30 million of its 8.75% senior unsecured notes
for total cash consideration of $26 million.  During the second
quarter of 2006, the company repaid $52 million of notes held by
the public and cancelled $14 million of notes held by Fraser
Papers.

No further purchases were made in the fourth quarter and Fraser
Papers continues to hold $16 million of notes which have not been
cancelled but have been netted against long-term debt on the
consolidated balance sheet.

Following the sale of its New Brunswick Timberlands, Fraser Papers
has one reportable segment comprised of its integrated paper,
pulp, and sawmill operations.

                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the quarter, cash flow from operations after changes in
working capital was an outflow of $14 million as compared to
$13 million during the same quarter of 2005.  Operating cash flow
before changes in working capital in the fourth quarter improved
to $1 million compared to an outflow of $16 million in 2005,
primarily due to improved operating results.  During the fourth
quarter, Fraser Papers invested $15 million in working capital in
the form of receivables, primarily due to strong shipments of
lightweight opaque and specialty groundwood grades in December.

                   Net debt and Capital Resources

Long term debt of $68 million consists of senior, unsecured notes
which bear interest at 8.75% and are due in 2015.  The indenture
agreement governing the notes contains certain covenants, the more
significant of which include restrictions on the incurrence of
additional indebtedness, sale of assets and reinvestment of
proceeds, mergers, creation of liens, payment of dividends and
repurchase of the Company's shares.

During 2006, following the repurchases and repayments of the
notes, the company reduced its total long-term debt by
$82 million, resulting in a net debt to net debt plus equity ratio
of 14%.

During the fourth quarter, the company increased it maximum
borrowing capacity under its line of credit to $90 million on more
favorable terms.  The increased line of credit and current cash
balances provide liquidity for future growth initiatives,
including the acquisition of Katahdin Paper Company LLC.

                        Capital Investments

Year to date capital investments totaled $12 million,
significantly below the $49 million recorded in 2005 when Fraser
Papers invested $34 million to buy out a lease related to an
electrical cogeneration facility.  During the fourth quarter,
spending of $3 million was primarily focused on maintenance of the
business.

FURNITURE BRANDS: Earns $55.1 Million in Year Ended December 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Furniture Brands International Inc. reported net earnings of
$2.1 million on net sales of $586.5 million for the fourth quarter
ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with net earnings of $17.1 million
on net sales of $593.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Net earnings for the year were $55.1 million as compared to
$61.4 million in 2005.  Net sales for the full year of 2006 were
$2.42 million, compared with $2.39 million for the full year of
2005, an increase of 1.3%.

W. G. (Mickey) Holliman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
commented: "Business conditions in the fourth quarter were
difficult across all our companies.  As the quarter progressed,
retail conditions materially softened.  In an effort to continue
with our original plan of inventory reduction, we promoted
aggressively and took additional discounts on selected slower
moving products.  We also scheduled additional downtime in our
domestic facilities.  Both of these items had a significant impact
on our earnings for the quarter.

"For the full year, our net sales were up slightly but our pro
forma net earnings fell considerably short, primarily as a result
of such a difficult fourth quarter.  As we move into the new year,
we continue to drive change throughout the entire company.  Though
the process of change is difficult, we will gain the benefits of
our size, our brands, and our talented leadership team.  We will
continue to focus on optimizing our logistics and supply chain
processes, and other strategic initiatives to drive both growth
and margin expansion throughout the company."

closing price of the shares of Class A Common Stock of Sun-Times
on the NYSE of US$4.31, the market value of Hollinger's direct and
indirect holdings in Sun-Times was US$68.0 million.

All of Hollinger's direct and indirect interest in the shares of
Class A Common Stock of Sun-Times is being held in escrow in
support of future retractions of its Series II Preference Shares.
All of Hollinger's direct and indirect interest in the shares of
Class B Common Stock of Sun-Times is pledged as security in
connection with the senior notes and the second senior notes.

In addition to the cash or cash equivalents on hand, Hollinger has
previously deposited approximately C$8.8 million in trust with the
law firm of Aird & Berlis LLP, as trustee, in support of certain
obligations Hollinger may have indemnified to six former
independent directors and two current officers.  In addition,
C$762,000 has been deposited in escrow with the law firm of Davies
Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP in support of the obligations of a
certain Hollinger subsidiary.

As of February 16, 2007, there was approximately US$64.6 million
aggregate collateral securing the US$78 million principal amount
of the Senior Notes and the US$15 million principal amount of the
Second Senior Notes outstanding.

Hollinger is current on all payments due under its outstanding
Senior Notes and Second Senior Notes.  However, it is non-
compliant under the Indentures governing the Notes with respect to
certain financial reporting obligations and other covenants
arising from the insolvency proceedings of the Ravelston Entities.
To date, neither the trustee under the Indentures nor the holders
of the Notes have taken any action as a result of those defaults.

On Jan. 22, 2007, Hollinger and its wholly owned subsidiary
Domgroup Ltd. served a motion in the insolvency proceedings
of The Ravelston Corporation Limited and its debtor-affiliates.
In the motion, Hollinger and Domgroup sought an order confirming
the secured obligations owed by Ravelston to the company and
Domgroup and declaring that the applicable security agreements are
valid, perfected and enforceable in accordance with their terms.
Sun-Times Media has advised that it intends to bring a motion to
stay the motion.  In the motion, Hollinger and Domgroup claim that
the secured obligations owing by Ravelston total more than
$25,000,000.

HUSKY ENERGY: Earns $2.7 Billion in Year Ended December 31
----------------------------------------------------------
Husky Energy Inc. reported net earnings of $2.7 billion for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with net earnings of $2 billion
in 2005.  Cash flow from operations improved by 19% to
$4.5 billion, compared with $3.8 billion in 2005.  Sales and
operating revenues, net of royalties, were $12.7 billion in 2006,
an increase of 24% compared with $10.2 billion in 2005.

"It has been an exciting year for Husky," said Mr. John C.S. Lau,
President & Chief Executive Officer, Husky Energy Inc.  "Our
initiatives to create shareholder value in growth and
diversification are delivering impressive results in annual net
earnings and cash flows.  Husky's vision, strong financial
discipline and successful project execution will continue to
provide a dynamic and enriched future for the company and its
shareholders."

Production in 2006 was 360,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day,
compared with 315,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2005,
an increase of 14%.  Crude oil and natural gas liquids production
increased 23% to 248,000 barrels per day, compared with 202,000
barrels per day in 2005.  Natural gas production was relatively
the same at 672 million cubic feet per day, compared with 680
million cubic feet per day in 2005.

For the fourth quarter, Husky's net earnings, mainly impacted by
lower gas commodity prices, were $542 million in 2006, compared
with $669 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Sales and
operating revenues, net of royalties, were $3.1 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $3.2 billion in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed $17.9 billion
in total assets, $8.3 billion in total liabilities, and
$9.6 billion in total stockholders' equity.

The company entered into an agreement to dispose of certain non-
core properties in Western Canada for total proceeds of
$339 million, currently producing approximately 5,200 barrels of
oil equivalent per day.  This transaction is expected to close in
the first quarter of 2007.

The Tucker Oil Sands project, which was completed on-schedule and
under budget, achieved its first oil at the end of 2006.  Tucker
will ramp up production over the next two years to achieve peak
production of 30 mbbls/day of bitumen.

The Sunrise Oil Sands project front-end engineering design is
expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2007.  Husky
plans to drill 29 stratigraphic wells in 2007.  Husky continues to
evaluate alternatives for the downstream portion of the project
and collaboration continues with industry participants to address
regional infrastructure issues.

In 2006 Husky acquired additional leases in the Saleski area
increasing its acreage to 239,200 acres with discovered resource
of approximately 24 billion barrels of bitumen in place within the
Grosmont and Nisku carbonates.  Conceptual planning and bitumen
recovery process evaluation continue at Caribou Lake.  Husky has
selected 44 stratigraphic wells to drill during the 2007 winter
drilling season.  In December, Husky submitted an application to
the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board and Alberta Environment for
the first phase of the Caribou Lake project.

Canada's East Coast White Rose project continues to perform better
than expected.  During the fourth quarter, a sixth production well
was brought onstream, increasing reservoir production capacity to
125,000 barrels of oil per day.  A seventh production well, which
will further increase the production level of the reservoir will
be completed by mid 2007.  Husky's 2006 delineation program
contributed possible reserves of 138 million barrels of light
crude oil to White Rose, which had combined proved, probable and
possible reserves of 379 million barrels of light crude oil at the
end of 2006.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, Husky successfully acquired three
exploration blocks in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin.  Husky holds a 100%
working interest in Exploration Block 1099 and 50% working
interest in Exploration Blocks 1100 and 1101.

Internationally, expansion of Husky's offshore acreage position in
the South China Sea continued with the signing of three petroleum
contracts with the China National Offshore Oil Corporation.  The
three exploration blocks cover approximately 16,871 square
kilometres.

In the South China Sea, Husky made a significant hydrocarbon
discovery at Liwan 3-1-1 on Block 29/26.  This discovery contains
contingent resource of four to six trillion cubic feet of natural
gas, making it one of the largest discoveries offshore China.  A
major seismic program is planned for 2007 over Block 29/26 and the
adjacent Block 29/06.  A development program is currently
proceeding and a deep water rig has been secured for a three-year
term commencing in 2008.

In the Midstream segment, a turnaround is planned at the
Lloydminster Upgrader in the second quarter of 2007 to complete
debottleneck work which will increase throughput capacity of the
upgrader to 82,000 barrels per day.  Engineering for the potential
expansion of the upgrader to approximately 150,000 barrels per day
will be completed by the end of 2007.

In the Refined Products segment, Husky completed and commissioned
the Lloydminster ethanol plant in 2006.  Husky's facility is the
largest wheat based ethanol facility in Western Canada with annual
peak production of 130 million litres of ethanol and 134,000
tonnes of Distillers Dried Grain with Solubles, a high protein
feed supplement.  A second 130 million litre per year plant is

$11,375,000 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2005-WMC1,
Class M-11, currently rated BB (high).

result of the increased 90+ day delinquency pipeline relative to
the available level of credit enhancement.

excess spread.  The mortgage loans consist of fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate first-lien and second-lien mortgage loans.  The

METHANEX CORP: Earns $482.9 Million in Year Ended December 31
-------------------------------------------------------------
Methanex Corp. reported net income of $482.9 million for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with a net income of $165.8 million
during the same period in 2005.

For the fourth quarter of 2006, the company recorded a net income
of $172.4 million.  This compares with a net income of
$113.2 million for the third quarter of 2006.

Bruce Aitken, President and CEO of Methanex, commented, "We are
very pleased to have produced record earnings and cash flows for
our shareholders during the fourth quarter and fiscal 2006.
Extremely tight market conditions created primarily by outages at
competitor plants led to a very high methanol price environment in
the fourth quarter.  As a result, we achieved an average realized
price of $460 per tonne in Q4 2006, an increase of $155 per tonne
over our realization of $305 per tonne in Q3 2006."

Mr. Aitken added, "The high methanol price environment has
continued into the beginning of this year and we believe that an
extended period of high operating rates in 2007 is required to
balance supply and demand.  The Methanex European posted contract
price has been set for the first quarter of 2007 at 420 Euros per
tonne (US$545 per tonne at date of settlement), an increase of
20 Euros over the fourth quarter price.  Our non-discounted posted
contract prices for the United States and Asia for February are
US$549 per tonne and US$490 per tonne, respectively.  Overall, the
average posted price across the three regions is $528 per tonne in
February, compared to an average posted price of $558 per tonne in
Q4 2006."

"Our global market leadership position proved to be very effective
in 2006.  In a year where methanol shortages occurred, the
strength and flexibility of our global supply chain allowed us to
maintain supply commitments to our customers.  We operated our
flexible Waitara Valley plant in New Zealand which added much
needed supply to the market and generated incremental profits for
our shareholders.  As a result of the continuing tight market
conditions, we expect to secure additional gas to allow us to
operate this facility at least until the end of 2007."

Mr. Aitken concluded, "Our excellent cash generation in the fourth
quarter leaves us in a strong financial position.  With
$355 million cash on hand at the end of the year, a strong balance
sheet and a $250 million undrawn credit facility, we are well
positioned to meet our financial requirements related to our
potential methanol project in Egypt, pursue new opportunities to
enhance our leadership position in the methanol industry,
investigate opportunities related to new methanol demand for
energy applications and continue to deliver on our commitment to
return excess cash to shareholders."

                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, cash flows from operating
activities before changes in non-cash working capital were
$623 million compared with $330 million for the same period in
2005.  During the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, non-cash working
capital increased by $154 million.  The increase in non-cash
working capital is primarily a result of the impact of higher
methanol pricing on working capital balances as well as the impact
of higher ending inventory volumes.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, the company repurchased a total
of 8.5 million common shares at an average price of US$21.91 per
share, totaling $187 million, inclusive of 4.7 million common
shares repurchased in 2006 under a normal course issuer bid that
expired May 16, 2006.

                        About Methanex Corp.

Methanex Corp. (Nasdaq: MEOH) -- http://www.methanex.com/-- is a
Vancouver based, publicly-traded company engaged in the worldwide
production and marketing of methanol.

leadership and provide tangible paybacks to customers.  The

emerging markets as the company capitalizes on its extensive
product range and distribution.  And finally, a determined focus

improved returns."

"The strengths of the company's franchise are market leadership;

portfolio; technology leadership; and a culture of delivering the
highest quality products and services," Spoerry concluded.  These
elements continue to provide a solid foundation for the company's
future.  Mettler Yoledo remain cautious on the economy but
believe, with continued diligent execution of its strategic
initiatives, the company is well positioned for growth in 2007 and
beyond."

as the date on which the Confirmation Hearing will recommence,
and March 16, 2007, at 4:00 p.m., as the last day to object to
the Supplemental Plan.

The Emerging New York Entities will serve the Recommencement
Notice on all of their creditors.  The Recommencement Notice will
also be published in (i) The Wall Street Journal, and (ii) The
Journal News, no less than 25 days prior to the recommencement of
the Confirmation Hearing.

Mr. Prostok asserts that no further disclosure is required in
connection with the Supplemental Plan because the treatment of
holders of unsecured claims against the Emerging New York
Entities under the Supplemental Plan is identical to the
treatment the holders would have received under the confirmed
Mirant Plan.

Under these circumstances, Mr. Prostok continues, there is no
need for holders of unsecured claims to receive any disclosures
over and above what was received under the Original Disclosure
Statement.  The votes cast by the holders in respect of the
confirmed Mirant Plan should also be deemed votes cast in favor
of the Supplemental Plan, he adds.

Mr. Prostok reminds the Court that Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy
Code provides that a class of claims or interests is unimpaired
if the plan "leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and
contractual rights to which such claim of interest entitles the
holder of such claim or interest."  Section 1126(f) further
provides that a class of claims that is unimpaired under a plan
is conclusively presumed to have accepted the plan.

Mr. Prostok points out that Class 1 - Taxing Jurisdiction
Settlement Claims is unimpaired since the Supplemental Plan
provides that the Class 1 Claims will "receive the treatment
specified in the New York Settlement."

The Class 1 Claimholders will receive all their legal, equitable
and contractual rights under the New York Settlement without
modification, and should conclusively be deemed to have accepted
the Supplemental Plan, Mr. Prostok asserts.

The Supplemental Plan is available at the Bankruptcy Services Inc.
at Third Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10017.

MORGAN STANLEY: Fitch Holds Junk Rating on $8.6MM Class N Certs.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirms Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc., commercial
mortgage pass-through certificates, series 1999-RM1:

   -- $288.3 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
   -- Interest-only class X at 'AAA';
   -- $43 million class B at 'AAA';
   -- $45.1 million class C at 'AAA';
   -- $12.9 million class D at 'AAA';
   -- $34.4 million class E at 'AAA';
   -- $17.2 million class F at 'AAA';
   -- $10.7 million class G at 'AAA';
   -- $23.6 million class H at 'A+';
   -- $8.6  million class J at 'A-';
   -- $12.9 million class K at 'BBB';
   -- $6.4  million class L at 'BBB-'; and
   -- $8.6  million class M at 'B+'.

The $8.6 million class N remains at 'CCC'.  Fitch does not rate
the $7.6 million class O certificates, and class A-1 has paid in
full.

The affirmations reflect the pool's stable performance since
Fitch's last rating action.  In total, 22 loans have defeased in
the pool.   As of the January 2007 distribution date, the
transaction's aggregate principal balance has decreased 38.6% to
$527.9 million from $859.7 million at issuance.

Currently, one asset is specially serviced and real-estate owned.
The asset is a 168,838 square foot retail center in Madison, North
Carolina , that is 73% occupied as of January 2007.  In October
2005 the asset lost a major tenant due to bankruptcy.  Fitch
expects any losses to be absorbed by the non-rated class.


MORTGAGE CAPITAL: Fitch Holds Junk Rating on $7.6MM Class K Certs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch affirms Mortgage Capital Funding, Inc.'s commercial mortgage
pass-through certificates, series 1998-MC2:

   -- $319.7 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
   -- Interest-only class X at 'AAA';
   -- $48 million class B at 'AAA';
   -- $58 million class C at 'AAA';
   -- $60.6 million class D at 'AAA';
   -- $37.9 million class E at 'AA';
   -- $12.6 million class F at 'A';
   -- $25.2 million class G at 'BBB-';
   -- $7.6 million class H at 'BB+';
   -- $15.1 million class J at 'B+'; and
   -- $7.6 million class K at 'CCC'.

Fitch does not rate the $2.5 million class L certificates.  The
class A-1 certificates have paid in full.

The affirmations are due to the stable performance of overall pool
and continued improved performance of the Minneapolis City Center
loan since the last Fitch ratings action.  As of the January 2007
distribution date, the pool has paid down 41.1% to $594.8 million
from $1.01 billion at issuance.

Fitch reviewed the credit assessment of the 375 Hudson Street
loan, which is secured by an 18-story, multi-tenant office
building in downtown Manhattan.  The rating of the loan is
dependent upon Saatchi & Saatchi being treated as a credit tenant.
The loan maintains an investment grade credit assessment.

The performance of the second largest loan, Minneapolis City
Center, has deteriorated since issuance, but results for the
trailing twelve months ending Sept. 30, 2006 indicated improving
performance.  The loan is secured by a mixed use property
consisting of 1.1 million square feet (sq. ft.) of office space,
370,000 sf of retail, 131,000 sq. ft. of storage space, the land
on which a 583-room Marriott Hotel is constructed, and a 687-space
parking garage. Servicer-reported net operating income for the TTM
ending Sept. 30, 2006 was up 40.3% versus TTM Sept. 30, 2005
results.  At the end of September 2006, the office and retail
portions of the property were 96% and 65% occupied, respectively.
This resulted in an overall occupancy of 87.7%, down slightly from
88% as of the prior year.  Fitch will continue to monitor this
loan closely for continued improvement.

There are currently no delinquent or specially serviced loans.


MORTGAGE LENDERS: Wants to Reject 17 Real Property Leases
---------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Lenders Network USA Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware, pursuant to Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code, to:

   (1) reject 17 nonresidential real property leases, effective
       as of the Petition Date; and

   (2) abandon any personal property located at the leased
       premises as of the effective date of rejection.

A list of the Rejected Leases is available for free at:

               http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?1a5f

Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl Young Jones &
Weintraub LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, says the Debtor has
determined that the 17 leases are unnecessary to the continued
operation of its business and its reorganization, have no
economic value to the estate, and should be rejected to avoid
incurring related administrative expenses.  The annual rent
payable by the Debtor on account of the Rejected Leases
aggregates to $6,000,000.

Ms. Jones explains that the rejection of the Rejected Leases at
this time will eliminate under-performing assets, save cash, and
allow management to focus their limited resources on the
operation of the Debtor's core business.

Ms. Jones relates that the rejection effective as of the Petition
Date is appropriate because the Debtor:

     * vacated the locations relating to the Rejected Leases and
       notified the affected landlords that it does not intend to
       further occupy the locations;

     * served notice of the present request on the landlords on
       the next business day following the Petition Date; and

     * will not withdraw any of the Rejected Leases from the
       request absent the consent of the affected landlord.

According to Ms. Jones, the Debtor also believes that any
personal property at the Rejected Leases' locations have
inconsequential value to the estate when considered in relation
to the anticipated expense of sale and any associated carrying
costs.

The Debtor does not waive any claims against a contract
counterparty arising under, or independently of, the Rejected
Leases by the filing of the request or the rejection of any of
the Leases.

The Debtor reserves the right to seek to reject other
nonresidential real property leases at a later date.

MORTGAGE LENDERS: Three Parties Respond to Lease Rejection Plea
---------------------------------------------------------------
Facilitec, Inc., Alter Asset Management, L.L.C., and Woodfield
Lake Associates, LLC, gave their responses with respect to
Mortgage Lenders Network USA Inc.'s request to reject 17 real
property leases.

                           Responses

(A) Facilitec

Facilitec, Inc., has two rental agreements with Mortgage Lenders
Network USA, Inc., with respect to Haworth (OEM) Workstations for
personal property located at the Pinnacle Peak facility in
Phoenix, Arizona.  Both Agreements are dated September 29, 2006.

Facilitec does not object to the rejection and abandonment of the
Agreements but asks the Debtor to confirm that the Facilitec
Rental Agreements are being rejected and abandoned.

Russell C. Silberglied, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger P.A.,
in Wilmington, Delaware, tells the Court that cause does not
exist for the Debtor to seek retroactive rejection of leases
because Facilitec asked the Debtor to return its personal
property from the beginning of the case but the Debtor has not
done so and has prevented Facilitec from taking the property.

Mr. Silberglied tells the Court that Facilitec is entitled to
payment for administrative expenses until the equipment is
returned.

(B) Alter Asset

Alter Asset Management, L.L.C., as agent for NBS Pinnacle 2201,
L.L.C., NBS Pinnacle 1925/2001, L.L.C., NBS Brookside 700/800,
L.L.C., seeks the Court's authority to:

    -- reject leases for real property and abandon personal
       property located at 4400 Alexander Drive, in Alpharetta,
       Georgia, and 1925 West Pinnacle Peak Road, in Phoenix,
       Arizona; and

    -- reject a lease and contract for real property located at
       2201 and 2125 West Pinnacle Peak Road, in Phoenix,
       Arizona.

Amanda M. Winfree, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., in Wilmington,
Delaware, says the Debtor has:

     * neglected to include on the list of leases and contracts
       it seeks to reject another closely related lease;

     * improperly described the lease and contract that it is
       seeking to reject for the property described in its
       request as the 2201 Lease/Contract; and

     * in conjunction with its rejection request, the Debtor
       should also be required to abandon all personal property
       at the related premises.

Ms. Winfree asserts that the Debtor must reject the 2201
Lease/Contract in its entirety along with the 1925 Lease since
they are intrinsically related to one single and indivisible
transaction.

Rejecting all the contracts in Georgia and Arizona is consistent
with the Debtor's stated purpose in the request of phasing out
operations at its retail origination offices and rejecting leases
that are unnecessary in its continued operations, Ms. Winfree
asserts.

(C) Woodfield

Woodfield Lake Associates, LLC, opposes the proposed order
annexed to the rejection request as it characterizes as "N/A" the
monthly rent payable under the Debtor's lease of property located
in Schamburg, Illinois.

Under the Lease, the required total payment by the Debtor for
fixed rent for 11 years aggregates to $10,543,282.

Gaston P. Loomis III, Esq., at Reed Smith LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, tells Judge Walsh that nothing in the Proposed Order to
clarify that it does not limit, impair, waive, or affect
Woodfield's claims for damages or its rights to file a proof of
claim in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

Accordingly, Woodfield asks the Court to clarify that nothing in
any order entered on the Debtor's request limits, impairs,
waives, or affects Woodfield's claims for damages or its rights
to file a proof of claim.

MOTHERS WORK: Earns $1.4 Million in 2007 First Fiscal Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
Mothers Work, Inc. reported operating results for the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 ended Dec. 31, 2006.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $1.4 million,
an improvement from the net income for the first quarter of fiscal
2006 of $0.4 million.  During December 2006, the company redeemed
$25 million principal amount of its outstanding 11-1/4% Senior
Notes, which resulted in an after-tax charge of $0.21 per share in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007.  Net income before the debt
repurchase charge for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was
$2.7 million, an even more significant improvement from the net
income for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 of $0.4 million, which
did not include any debt repurchase charge.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 1.9% to
$148.5 million from $151.4 million in the same quarter of the
preceding year.  The decrease in net sales for the quarter was
driven by a decrease in comparable store sales.  Comparable store
sales decreased 2.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2007
versus a comparable store sales increase of 3.1% during the first
quarter of fiscal 2006.  The comparable store sales decrease of
2.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was impacted by
1 percentage points due to having one less Saturday in this fiscal
year's October and first quarter compared to last year.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company had $270.4 million in total assets,
total liabilities of $180.8 million and total stockholders' equity
of $89.6 million.

The company has strong financial liquidity.  During the twelve-
month period ended Dec. 31, 2006, the company has reduced its debt
balance by $35 million, while carrying a balance of cash and cash
equivalents of $16.1 million at Dec. 31, 2006.

As of Dec. 31, 2006, the company has $90 million remaining
outstanding principal amount of the original $125 million
principal amount of its Senior Notes and the company is exploring
ways to refinance the remaining Senior Notes with lower cost debt.
Also, as of Dec. 31, 2006, the company has no direct borrowings
under its credit facility, and the company has $51 million of
availability under its credit facility.

"Although the company may have modest credit line borrowings from
its $60 million credit facility at times during fiscal 2007,"
Rebecca Matthias, President and Chief Operating Officer of Mothers
Work, Inc., noted. "Reflecting seasonal and other timing
variations in cash flow and its use of cash to repurchase
$35 million principal amount of Senior Notes from August 2006
through December 2006, Mothers did not have any credit line
borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and expect to
have no outstanding credit line borrowings at the end of fiscal
2007."

NORD RESOURCES: Plantinum Fails to Pay $2 Million Termination Fee
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nord Resources Corporation's chairman of the Board of Directors,
Ronald Hirsch, reported that Platinum Diversified Mining Inc.
failed to pay the $2 million termination fee in an all-cash
merger transaction with Plantinum Diversified.

In Nord Reources' Notice of Termination dated Feb. 15, 2007,
the company demanded payment of the termination fee before
the close of business on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2007, and placed
Platinum Diversified on notice that it reserved all of
Nord Resources' rights to pursue Platinum Diversified for
damages.

As disclosed by Nord Resources, the delivery of the Notice of
Termination followed a request by Platinum Diversified to re-
negotiate the merger consideration.

Nord Resources is meeting with its legal counsel with the view to
determining what steps it should take to preserve its rights in
this matter.

Based in Tucson, Ariz., Nord Resources Corporation (Pink Sheets:
NRDS) -- http://www.nordresources.com/-- is an emerging copper
producer, which controls a 100% interest in the Johnson Camp SX-EW
copper project in Arizona.  Nord's near term objective is to
resume mining and leaching operations at the Johnson Camp mine,
which has been on care and maintenance status since August 2003.
Nord has decided to proceed with its mine plan bases on an updated
feasibility study that was completed in October 2005, subject to
raising sufficient financing.

                       Going Concern Doubt

In August 2006, Mayer Hoffman McCann PC expressed substantial
doubt about Nord's ability to continue as a going concern after it
audited the company's financial statements for the years ended
Dec. 31, 2005 and 2004.  The auditing firm pointed to the
company's significant operating losses.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES: Committee Objects to Equity Panel Appointment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Northwest
Airlines Corp. and its debtor-affiliates says that the appointment
of an equity committee in the Debtors' cases is unwarranted

The Official Creditors Committee points out there will not be a
distribution to equity under any confirmable plan of
reorganization in the case.  Considering the track record of other
recent major airline bankruptcies like US Airways I and II, United
Airlines, and ATA Airlines, this is not surprising, the Official
Creditors Committee says.

The Official Creditors Committee also notes that a disclosure
statement was recently approved in the Delta Air Lines bankruptcy
case, which, like the Debtors' proposed Plan of Reorganization,
provides that creditors will receive equity -- valued at less
than the full amount of the claims -- in exchange for their
claims, and that existing equity holders will not receive any
distribution.

The appointment of an official equity committee would only create
unnecessary and substantial costs for the estates and distract
the Debtors, the creditor constituents, and their professionals
from focusing on confirming the Reorganization Plan and emerging
from bankruptcy, Scott L. Hazan, Esq., at Otterbourg, Steindler,
Houston & Rosen, P.C., in New York, argues.

"There is nothing that an official equity committee can add to
this case that the Ad Hoc Committee itself is not capable of
contributing," according to Mr. Hazan.

Mr. Hazan explains that the Ad Hoc Committee is comprised of
institutions that collectively manage billions of dollars in
assets and has retained experienced bankruptcy counsel and
financial advisors.

"There is no reason to believe that the Ad Hoc Committee will not
continue to pursue any possible value (to the extent that they
reasonably believe that it actually exits) for a return on their
individual equity investments, and by extension, protect the
interests of all equity holders," Mr. Hazan tells Judge Gropper.

Douglas A. Fordyce, managing director at Lazard Freres & Co. LLC,
financial advisor to the Official Creditors Committee, relates
that the Ad Hoc Committee utilizes a JPMorgan analyst report
dated November 16, 2006, in support of its allegation that the
Debtors have an equity value of approximately $10,500,000,000.
The Ad Hoc Committee arrived at the valuation only by adjusting
the assumed jet fuel price utilized in the JPMorgan Report down
from $1.95 per gallon to the then current trading price of jet
fuel -- $1.70 per gallon, which corresponds to a crude oil price
of approximately $55 per barrel.

In estimating Northwest's profitability for 2007, Mr. Fordyce
says the JPMorgan Report assumed a jet fuel cost of $1.95 per
gallon or approximately $63 per barrel for crude oil, which
estimate is generally consistent with the fuel projections
contained in the Debtors' Business Plan of $1.92 per gallon.  The
JPMorgan report also forecasted the Debtors' 2007 EBITDAR to be
$2,332,000,000 -- which is very close to the Debtors' projected
2007 EBITDAR of $2,305,000,000.

The JPMorgan Report then applied a 6.5x - 7.0x multiple to
calculate an adjusted enterprise value, subtracted net adjusted
debt from that value and arrived at a total equity value of
$8,056,000,000 to $9,222,000,000.

However, Mr. Fordyce points out, the 6.5x - 7.0x multiple
utilized in the JPMorgan analysis was based on what JPMorgan
assumed to be the multiple implied by a Delta/US Airways merger
transaction.  As US Airways has withdrawn its offer for Delta,
the multiples used in the JPMorgan Report, whether appropriate
then or not, are no longer valid, and a lower multiple -- based
on the current trading levels of the Debtors' major airline peers
-- must be applied to arrive at a reasonable valuation, Mr.
Fordyce explains.

Mr. Fordyce also notes that the fuel price utilized by the Ad Hoc
Committee occurred during a "dip" in the fuel market.  Since that
time, crude oil has risen back to approximately $59 per barrel on
the spot market and $61 to 64 on the "forward fuel curve" -- the
market's expectation of the price of oil in the future and where
an airline could lock-in the costs.

Mr. Fordyce relates that the price of fuel in the airline
industry over the last several years has been closely correlated
with unit revenue per seat mile.  As fuel expense has become a
much larger component of total operating costs, airlines have
attempted to "pass through" the cost to passengers in the form of
higher ticket prices.  In addition, at higher fuel prices, routes
served with older, less fuel-efficient aircraft become less
profitable or even unprofitable and marginal routes -- even flown
with new aircraft -- can become unprofitable, leading to a
curtailing of service and a general reduction in capacity.  With
tighter capacity, unit revenue tends to rise as the supply and
demand of seats comes into greater balance.

The Ad Hoc Committee's "forecast" attempts to utilize a
significant decrease in the price of fuel without any
corresponding decrease in revenue, Mr. Fordyce tells the Court.

"That is bad forecasting," Mr. Fordyce says.

Any sustained reduction in the cost of jet fuel in the magnitude
projected by the Ad Hoc Committee, Mr. Fordyce explains, would
almost certainly cause a corresponding decrease in the Debtors'
revenues, as airlines passed through reduced costs to consumers
and additional aircraft were brought back into service, further
increasing capacity and reducing unit revenues.  Any prolonged
decrease in fuel would bring with it a decrease in unit revenues,
which must be considered in order to properly value the Debtors'
business.

Mr. Hazan also tells Judge Gropper that the Disclosure Statement
explaining the Debtors' Plan projects an equity valuation for the
Debtors of between $6,450,000,000 and $7,550,000,000 -- with a
midpoint of $7,000,000,000 -- with an estimated claims universe
of between $8,750,000,000 and $9,500,000,000.  Based on the
estimates, the Disclosure Statement projects a distribution to
creditors of between 66% and 83% on the principal of their
claims, before consideration of any accrued interest to unsecured
creditors.

The Ad Hoc Committee has not and will not be able to present any
credible evidence to suggest that either the valuation or claims
estimates contained in the Disclosure Statement are materially
inaccurate, Mr. Hazan contends.

"The Motion is nothing more than a transparent attempt by
speculators in the Debtors' equity to force the estates to pay
the costs of their fruitless pursuits," Mr. Hazan says.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES: Wants Court Approval on JP Morgan Equity Pact
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Northwest Airlines Corp. and its debtor-affiliates intend to offer
certain eligible unsecured creditors the right to subscribe for
new common stock to raise up to $637,500,000 in equity capital.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., has agreed to purchase any shares
not subscribed to by the eligible creditors, ensuring that the
Debtors will receive the full anticipated proceeds, Gregory M.
Petrick, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, LLP, in New
York, relates.

In addition, JPMorgan will purchase directly 4,166,667 shares of
new common stock for $112,500,000 in the aggregate.

Thus, the new capital to be raised through the Rights Offering --
including the backstop commitment -- and the JPMorgan direct
purchase total $750,000,000.

The Debtors believe that the transactions represent the
opportunity for a $750,000,000 new equity investment in the
Debtors in market conditions that are currently favorable on the
best terms available, and will promote the Debtors' successful
emergence from these Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors' Amended Plan of Reorganization proposes that holders
of all other allowed unsecured claims against Northwest Airlines
Corp., Northwest Airlines Holdings Corp., NWA Inc., and Northwest
Airlines, Inc. -- the Consolidated Debtors -- will receive shares
of new common stock of NWA Corp. and the right to purchase
additional shares of new common stock of the reorganized Debtors
under the Rights Offering in satisfaction of their claims.

Mr. Petrick says the Debtors' business plan contemplated a
recapitalization of the Debtors through new equity investment.
The equity capital will be deployed for general corporate
purposes; and, in particular, to help finance the modernization
of the Debtors' fleet through the acquisition of new, fuel-
efficient aircraft, appropriately sized to provide efficient
service in various domestic and international markets.

Commencing in December 2006, the Debtors interviewed more than 30
financial institutions in connection with a potential rights
offering to be provided to the its creditors, presenting to
numerous potential equity investors with respect to an additional
private equity investment in the Debtors.

After careful review, the Debtors determined that the proposal
submitted by JPMorgan was the most favorable.  On February 12,
2007, the proposal was approved by the Board of Directors of NWA
Corp.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors was closely
involved in the Debtors' processes to raise new equity, and fully
supports the transactions, Mr. Petrick tells the Court.

As an integral part of the parties' Equity Commitment Agreement
dated February 12, 2007, JPMorgan will enter into a syndication
agreement with certain investors who will purchase certain of the
shares being sold to JPMorgan under the ECA either from JPMorgan
or directly from NWA Corp.

The syndicate will not include any person or entity that is a
competitor of the Debtors.

Certain holders of allowed unsecured claims, as of the record
date fixed by the Court for the determination of eligibility to
vote on the Plan, will be offered the opportunity to purchase up
to their pro rata share of 23,611,111 shares of new common stock
of NWA Corp., subject to reduction, at $27 per share.

Furthermore, in the event that eligible unsecured creditors
receiving subscription rights decline to exercise those rights --
or fail to do so in a manner that complies with the Plan -- the
remaining rights will be allocated to those eligible unsecured
creditors wishing to subscribe for up to two times their original
subscription rights, pro rata, until all over subscription
requests have been filled, subject to the availability of
additional shares.

JPMorgan will purchase any unsubscribed shares on the closing of
the Rights Offering at $27 per share.

The Rights Offering including any backstop purchase, together
with JPMorgan's purchase of additional shares, will represent a
sale of 10.2% of the equity of the Reorganized Debtors.

The Debtors have agreed to enter into a registration rights
agreement, which will provide that all shares of new common stock
acquired pursuant to the ECA will constitute "registrable
securities," and will provide for the parties to complete
necessary requirements for the registration.

The Debtors reserve the right under the ECA to sell up to
$150,000,000 of new common stock of NWA Corp. to one or more
potential investors on a list that has been provided to JPMorgan.

In consideration for the Underwriting Commitment and to
compensate JPMorgan for undertaking the risk in entering into the
ECA; and, after substantial arm's-length negotiations among the
Debtors, JPMorgan and the Syndicate Members, the Debtors will
pay:

   (a) to JPMorgan, a fee of 2.75% of the potential investment,
       or $20,625,000;

   (b) two additional fees of 0.25% each of the anticipated
       proceeds may be due if the expiration of the subscription
       period is extended beyond May 15 or June 1, 2007;

   (c) the out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by JPMorgan
       with respect to the Rights Offering; and

   (d) reasonable fees and expenses of specified counsel and
       other professionals retained by JPMorgan and the Syndicate
       Members.

The parties also agreed to certain indemnification provisions.

By this motion, the Debtors seek the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York's authority to enter into and
perform under the ECA, including entry into the Registration
Rights Agreement.  The Debtors also seek permission to pay the
related fees and expenses.

The Debtors also ask the Court to approve the related Syndication
Agreement, and authorize them to file the Syndication Agreement
in redacted form to protect certain proprietary, sensitive or
otherwise confidential information.

PCS EDVENTURES: Posts $1 Million Net Loss in Quarter Ended Dec. 31
------------------------------------------------------------------
PCS Edventures!.com Inc. reported a $1 million net loss on
$450,445 of total revenues for the third quarter ended
Dec. 31, 2006, compared with a $589,597 net loss on $284,638 of
total revenues for the same period ended Dec. 31, 2005.

Operating expenses increased to $1.2 million as compared to
$512,125 for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2005.  Part of the
increase was due to the increase in the number of employees,
amortization of options, accrual for the contingent liability
related to the Note Purchase Agreement between PCS and
Barron Partners LP and the acquisition of LabMentors.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed $1.3 million
in total assets and $1.5 million in total liabilities, resulting
in a $215,231 total stockholders' deficit.

The company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2006, also showed strained
liquidity with $489,633 in total current assets available to pay
$1.5 million in total current liabilities.

PREMIER ENTERTAINMENT: Court OKs 2nd Amended Disclosure Statement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Mississippi approved the second amended disclosure statement
describing the Plan of Reorganization co-proposed by Premier
Entertainment Biloxi LLC dba Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Finance Biloxi Corp., Bill
Rochelle of Bloomberg News reports.

The Court determined that the Disclosure Statement contained
adequate information -- the right kind of the right amount for
creditors to make informed decisions when asked to vote on the
Plan.

The Debtors can now solicit acceptances of that Plan.

                        Treatment of Claims

The Plan provides for a 100% recovery to all holders of allowed
claims.

Holders of Class 1 Other Priority Claims, Class 2 Secured Tax
Claims, and Class 3 Other Secured Claims will receive the full
amount of their claims.

Peoples Bank of Biloxi, Miss. will receive the principal amount of
its secured claim on the effective date of the Plan plus accrued
interest at 7% rate of interest per annum.  The Debtors estimate
the Bank's claim to be $1,301,042.

The Debtors' secured bond claims are entitled to their ratable
proportion of:

   1) any principal amount of the bonds outstanding on the
      effective date plus accrued interest; and

   2) the amount, if any, of the disputed liquidated damages
      escrow to which bondholders as of the distribution record
      date are entitled.

Holders of General Unsecured Claims will receive cash in an amount
equal to 50% of their allowed claim on the effective date, and the
remaining 50% within 60 days thereafter, or as soon as practicable
after the allowed general unsecured claim becomes an allowed
general unsecured claim.

Class 9 Rank Note Claims will be reinstated under the terms of the
Plan while Class 10 Affiliate Claims will be paid out of available
cash from operations post-effective date.

All equity interests in the Debtors will be unaltered by terms of
Plan.

                           Plan Funding

An exit facility to be provided by BHR Holdings Inc., an affiliate
of the Debtors, will ensure the Debtors' ability to make payments
if the Plan is consummated before the Debtors can generate cash
flow from operations.

                        Cash Collateral Use

Prior to its bankruptcy filing, the Debtors had a secured
financing instrument in place in the form of the 10-3/4% First
Mortgage Notes due 2012, issued pursuant to an indenture dated as
of Jan. 23, 2004, as amended, for $160 million in the aggregate.
U.S. Bank National Association serves as the indenture trustee.

After the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Debtors
asserted substantial loss claims pursuant to their insurance
policies.  As a result of several insurance settlements,
approximately $160.8 million of insurance proceeds were collected
and deposited with U.S. Bank.  The Debtors made disbursement
requests to U.S. Bank for release of the insurance proceeds in
order to rebuild their resort.  The Debtors were not allowed to
use the insurance proceeds except for limited purposes.  The
Debtors' inability to gain complete access to the insurance
proceeds through negotiation or litigation left the Debtors with
the need for financial reorganization.

Accordingly, the Debtors obtained Court authority to use, until
April 13, 2007, the cash collateral securing repayment of their
obligations to the prepetition secured bondholders based on a
thirteen-week budget, a copy of which is available for free at:

               http://researcharchives.com/t/s?1a60

The Court will also convene a hearing on April 13 to further
consider the Debtors' use of the cash collateral.

QUEST TRUST: S&P Lowers Rating on Class M-2 Certificates to BB+
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the class
M-2 certificates from Quest Trust 2002-X1 to 'BB+' from 'BBB+'.
The rating remains on CreditWatch with negative implications,
where it was placed on Jan. 19, 2007.  In addition, the 'AAA'
rating on the class M-1 certificates was affirmed.

The lowered rating and continued CreditWatch placement is the
result of realized losses that have continuously reduced
overcollateralization (O/C).  During the previous six remittance
periods, realized losses have outpaced excess spread by an average
of 3.68x.  The failure of excess spread to cover monthly losses
has resulted in an erosion of O/C.  As of the January 2007
distribution date, O/C was below its target balance by
approximately 40%.  Cumulative realized losses represent 6.67% of
the original pool balance, while severely delinquent loans
represent 17.18% of the current pool balance.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the performance of this
transaction.  If realized losses continue to outpace excess
interest, and the level of O/C continues to decline,
Standard & Poor's  will take further negative rating actions.
Conversely, if realized losses no longer outpace monthly excess
interest, and O/C rebuilds toward its target balance,
Standard & Poor's  will affirm the rating and remove it from
CreditWatch.

The affirmation is based on credit support percentages that are
sufficient to maintain the current rating.  Credit support for
this transaction is provided through a combination of
subordination, excess spread, and O/C.  The pool initially
consisted of performing, reperforming, conventional, subprime,
fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans.  The mortgage loans are

properties.

RONCO CORP: Posts $6.5 Million Net Loss in Quarter Ended Dec. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ronco Corp. reported a $6.5 million net loss on $19.7 million of
net sales for the second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared
with a $1.6 million net loss on $29.6 million of net sales for the
same period ended Dec. 31, 2005.

The decline in net sales is primarily due to a decline in direct
response sales of the company's rotisserie ovens by $1.3 million,
in wholesale sales by $10.4 million, a decline of $1.7 million in
direct response sales of other products, and a decline of $600,000
in list sales and commissions on advertising.  These decreases
were partially offset by an increase in direct response sales of
cutlery products of $4.1 million.

The increase in net loss is due to a $5.8 million loss on
extinguishment of debt, absent in last year's quarter, the
$653,375 increase in interest expense and the $5.8 million
decrease in gross profit due to a decrease in direct response
sales and wholesale accounts.  In addition, the company did not
record any tax benefit in 2006 as compared to 2005 when the
company recognized $343,000 in tax benefit.

The company also recorded a $1 million registration penalty
expense in connection with the sale of its Series A stock.  The
company was required to have its Registration Statement effective
by October 2005 but was unable to complete the Registration
Statement.

The loss on extinguishment of debt is related to the Sanders
Morris Harris loan dated June 9, 2006, that was modified on
Oct. 18, 2006.

Net interest expense was $1.1 million compared to $431,182 in last
year's second quarter.  The interest expense is due to higher loan
balances, new loan balances, and the amortization of warrants on
the Laurus and Popeil promissory notes which was recorded as
interest for accretion of debt.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed $33.8 million
in total assets, $29.5 million in total liabilities, and
$4.3 million in total stockholders' equity.

The company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2006, also showed strained
liquidity with $17.4 million in total current assets available to
pay $19.1 million in total current liabilities.

Full-text copies of the company's consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006, are available for

                    Going Concern Doubt

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 19, 2006,
Mahoney Cohen & Company, CPA, P.C., expressed substantial about
Ronco Corp's ability to continue as a going concern after auditing
the company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005.  The auditing firm pointed to the
company's net loss of approximately $44.42 million in fiscal 2006
and working capital deficiency of approximately $12.86 million at
June 30, 2006.

SEMCO ENERGY: Cap Rock Deal Cues S&P to Put on Developing Watch
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on SEMCO Energy Inc. on CreditWatch with developing
implications.

The rating action follows the report that SEMCO has agreed to be
acquired by Cap Rock Holding Co. for $867 million, including the
assumption of $515 million of debt outstanding.

"We will resolve the CreditWatch listing after gaining greater
clarity on CAP Rock's intentions for SEMCO both operationally and
financially," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ralph A.
DeCesare, CFA.

The current ratings on SEMCO reflect its highly leveraged
financial risk profile, offset somewhat by its strong business
risk profile.

STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL: Marcum Kliegman Raises Going Concern Doubt
------------------------------------------------------------------
Marcum & Kliegman LLP, in New York City, expressed substantial
doubt about Startech Environmental Corp.'s ability to continue as
a going concern after auditing the company's consolidated
financial statements for the years ended Oct. 31, 2006, and 2005.
The auditing firm cited that the company has no significant
recurring revenues and has incurred significant losses since
inception.

Startech Environmental reported a $6.6 million net loss on
$948,794 of revenues for the year ended Oct. 31, 2006, compared
with a $3.7 million net loss on $290,087 of revenues for the year
ended Oct. 31, 2005.

The increase in revenues is attributable to three major elements.
The first is the company's amortization of distribution agreements
in the current year of approximately $264,000.  The second is the
continuing support of the Mihama project in Japan wherein the
company grossed over $532,000 in revenue, and the third is the
initiation of engineering specs for the China project which netted
$100,000.  In fiscal 2005, revenues were derived primarily from
the amortization of distributorships agreements established in
Australia, China and the Caribbean.

The $2.9 million increase in net loss is primarily due to the
$1.5 million increase in amortization of deferred debt discount,
the $136,175 increase in interest expense, the $888,044 terminated
offering costs, absent in fiscal 2005, the $173,301 expense
related to the change in value of warrants and conversion option,
compared to a $250,353 gain in fiscal 2005, and the $389,527
decrease in other income.  This was partially offset by the
$420,117 increase in gross profit, the $134,098 decrease in
operating expenses, and the $72,523 increase in interest income.

At Oct. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed $5.2 million
in total assets, $3.7 million in total liabilities, and
$1.5 million in total stockholders' equity.

The company's balance sheet at Oct. 31, 2006, also showed strained
liquidity with $3 million in total current assets available to pay
$3.7 million in total current liabilities.

statements for the year ended Oct. 31, 2006, are available for

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Report on Dec. 6, 2007,
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Stations Casinos
Inc.'s Ba2 corporate family rating, Ba2 probability of default
rating, Ba2 senior unsecured note rating, and Ba3 senior
subordinated note rating on review for possible downgrade after
the disclosure that it has a received an offer to be acquired by
a group of investors led by Frank J. Fertitta III, chairman and
chief executive officer of Station, Lorenzo J. Fertitta, vice
chairman and president of Station, and Colony Capital Acquisitions
LLC, an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC, to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Station for $82 per share
in cash, or about $4.7 billion.


SUMMIT CBO: S&P Assigns Default Rating on Class B Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating on the class
A notes issued by Summit CBO I Ltd., a high-yield arbitrage CBO
transaction managed by Summit Investment Partners, to 'B+' from
'B' and removed it from CreditWatch with positive implications,
where it was placed June 14, 2006.  Concurrently, the rating on
the class B notes was lowered to 'D' from 'CC'.

The upgrade reflects paydowns of the class A notes, which have
positively affected the credit enhancement available to support
these notes.  As of the Jan. 27, 2007, monthly report, the class A
notes had paid down an additional $10.29 million since the rating
was put on CreditWatch positive, totaling $121.76 million since
the last downgrades in June 2003.  As a result, the class A
adjusted overcollateralization ratio has improved to 157.06% from
110.40% since the last downgrade.  At the same time, the class A/B
overcollateralization ratio has continued to decline, to 47.50%
from 89.70%.  Consequently, the rating on the class B notes has
been lowered to 'D' from 'CC'.

Standard & Poor's has reviewed current cash flow runs generated
for Summit CBO I Ltd. to determine the level of future defaults
the rated notes can withstand under various stressed default
timing and interest rate scenarios while still paying all of the
interest and principal due on the notes.  After comparing the
results of these cash flow runs with the projected default
performance of the performing assets in the collateral pool,
Standard & Poor's determined that the prior rating assigned to the
class A notes was no longer consistent with the credit enhancement
available.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the future performance
of the transaction to ensure that the ratings assigned to all of
the notes remain consistent with the credit enhancement available.

SUTTER CBO: S&P Puts Junk Rated Class B-2 Notes on Positive Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on the class
A-3L, B-1L, B-1, and B-2 notes issued by Sutter CBO 2000-2 Ltd.,
an arbitrage CBO transaction originated in January 2001, on
CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch placements reflect the positive effect of the
class A-1L paydown on the credit enhancement available to support
the notes since they were downgraded in March 2003.  Since the
last downgrades, the class A-1L notes have paid down
$79.15 million, causing the overcollateralization ratios to
increase to 148.55% from 125.99% for class A; to 116.84% from
106.93% for class B-1; and to 105.86% from 99.58% for class B-2.

Standard & Poor's will review the results of current cash flow
runs generated for Sutter CBO 2000-2 Ltd. to determine the level
of future defaults the rated tranches can withstand under various
stressed default timing and interest rate scenarios while still
paying all of the interest and principal due on the notes.  The
results of these cash flow runs will be compared with the
projected default performance of the performing assets in the
collateral pool to determine whether the ratings currently
assigned to the notes remain consistent with the amount of credit
enhancement available.

US AIRWAYS: IAM Says Carrier is Using Bankruptcy as Shield
----------------------------------------------------------
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
filed Monday, a federal lawsuit challenging US Airways' use of
bankruptcy court to avoid an arbitration case stemming from a
Machinists Union grievance.

US Airways last week filed a complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to block a grievance
arbitration scheduled to begin yesterday, prompting the IAM's
suit.

"US Airways is attempting to use the bankruptcy court to shield
itself from its contractual obligations 17 months after exiting
bankruptcy," said IAM General Vice President Robert Roach, Jr.
"If companies can get bankruptcy court protection without filing
for bankruptcy, no business contract, labor or otherwise, is
enforceable.  Lessors, vendors, bondholders, stockholders and
other creditors are also at risk."

All IAM-US Airways collective bargaining agreements provide for
automatic wage adjustments upon a change in control of the
airline.  IAM Districts 141 and 142 each filed grievances to
enforce the change of control provisions in October 2005,
following the US Airways-America West merger.

"US Airways is obligated to resolve collective bargaining disputes
through the process set forth in our contracts and the Railway
Labor Act," said Mr. Roach.  "Companies can not hide in bankruptcy
court forever."

The arbitrator postponed the scheduled arbitration hearing as a
result of US Airways' refusal to attend.  The IAM's complaint,
filed in Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia, asks the court to order the arbitration to go forward.
The suit is available at http://www.goiam.org/transportation/

                           About IAM

-- http://www.goiam.org/-- represents 15,000 US Airways Fleet
Service, Mechanic & Related and Maintenance Training Specialists
employees.  The Machinists Union is the largest airline union in

US Airways and its subsidiaries filed another chapter 11 petition
on Sept. 12, 2004 (Bankr. E.D. Va. Case No. 04-13820).  Brian

became effective on Sept. 27, 2005.  The Debtors completed their
merger with America West on the same date.

WILBRAHAM CBO: S&P Puts B Rated Class A-2 Notes on Positive Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on the class
A-1 and A-2 notes issued by Wilbraham CBO Ltd., a high-yield
arbitrage CBO transaction managed by Babson Capital Management
LLC, on CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch placements reflect paydowns on the class A-1 note
balance, which have positively affected the credit enhancement
available to support the class A-1 and A-2 notes.

As of the Jan. 2, 2007, monthly report, the class A-1 notes had
paid down $86.7 million since the transaction was last downgraded
in September 2004.  Although the class A overcollateralization
ratio had only improved to 125.30% from 122.20% as of the
September 2004 downgrade, the class A-1 adjusted
overcollateralization ratio had improved to 169.06% from 138.65%.

Standard & Poor's will review the results of the current cash flow
runs generated for Wilbraham CBO I Ltd. to determine the level of
future defaults the rated classes can withstand under various
stressed default timing and interest rate scenarios while still
paying all of the interest and principal due on the notes.  The
results of these cash flow runs will be compared with the
projected default performance of the performing assets in the
collateral pool to determine whether the ratings currently
assigned to the notes remain consistent with the credit
enhancement available.

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

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

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

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

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

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

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
