201 FOREST: Can Access Cash Collateral on Interim Basis
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts,
Western Division, gave 201 Forest Street LLC, authority, on an
interim basis, to use up to $150,000 of the cash collateral
securing repayment of the Debtor's obligation to ING Investment
Management Services LLC and LBM Financial LLC.

The Court ruled that the interim order is to be used only for
current payroll, payroll taxes and post-petition expenses, only to
the extent necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to
the estate pending a final hearing.

A final hearing to consider the Debtor's request is scheduled on
Aug. 14, 2007.

The Debtor owns and operates two commercial office buildings on
its real property located in Marlborough, Mass.  ING holds a first
mortgage on the property to secure a claim of approximately
$4,600,000.  LBM holds a second mortgage on the property to secure
an asserted claim of $5,003,243.

As adequate protection, the Debtor will continue to make
approximately $40,929 in monthly payments to ING and will grant
both ING and LBM replacement liens with the same priority,
validity and enforceability as their respective prepetition liens.

Headquartered in Marlborough, Mass., 201 Forest Street LLC filed a
chapter 11 petition on June 19, 2007 (Bankr. D. Mass. Case No.
07-42296).  Christian J. Urbano, Esq., Christopher  M. Condon,
Esq., and D. Ethan Jeffery, Esq., at Hanify & King PC represent
the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.  No Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors has been  appointed in this case to date.  
When 201 Forest sought protection from its creditors, it listed
assets and debts between $1 million to $100 million.


ADVANCED MICRO: Special Stockholders Meeting Set for July 16
------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. will hold a special Meeting of

currently secured $390 million notes due 2012 (2012 Note) and the
$1.7 billion remainder of the original $2.5 billion term loan due
2013.  The rating outlook remains negative.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtors'
expense.  They may investigate the Debtors' business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also attempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

AMERICAN CAPITAL: Concludes Investment in EAG Acquisition
---------------------------------------------------------
American Capital Strategies Ltd. has concluded the investment in
its portfolio company EAG Acquisition LLC and its operating
subsidiary Evans Analytical Group LLC through an initial public
offering of ordinary shares by a newly formed holding company, EAG
Limited.

American Capital sold its shares in the offering and EAG's shares
have been admitted to the Official List of the U.K. Financial
Services Authority and are traded on the London Stock Exchange's
Alternative Investment Market for listed securities under the
symbol EAG.

American Capital realized a gain in the second quarter of 2007 of
$51 million on its exit of EAG and recognized total proceeds of
$158 million upon the exit, earning an 80% compounded annual rate
of return on its investment, including interest, dividends and
fees earned over the life of American Capital's investment.

Together with its affiliate American Capital Equity I, LLC, the
combined American Capital group realized an inception-to-date
realized aggregate gain of $72 million from the exit, earning an
aggregate 96% compounded annual rate of return on their
investments, including interest, dividends and fees earned over
the life of their investments.

Together, American Capital and ACE I realized approximately 11
times their original equity investment in EAG with an aggregate
equity IRR of 315%.  The proceeds received by American Capital
were greater than its first quarter 2007 valuation of the
investment by $25 million, or 21%.  As part of the transaction,
American Capital has committed to a new $50 million revolving
credit facility in EAG.

This is American Capital's second portfolio company IPO on the
London Stock Exchange in the past two months.  In May, the
ordinary shares of European Capital Limited, a buyout and
mezzanine debt investment firm, were admitted to the Official List
of the U.K. Financial Services Authority and are now traded on the
London Stock Exchange's main market.  European Capital now has a
market capitalization of $1.5 billion and EAG now has a market
capitalization of over $370 million.

"We are extremely pleased with the results of our investment in
Evans Analytical and delighted with the company's successful IPO,"
said Malon Wilkus, American Capital Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President.  "In less than two years, our Special
Situations Group worked diligently with the EAG management team to
rescue the company out of a bankruptcy process involving a
distressed parent company and build the company through a series
of acquisitions into an outstanding global provider of
microanalytical surface analysis and materials characterization
services.  The combined efforts and hard work positioned the
company for its IPO."

"Since first investing in the formation of EAG in 2005, the
company has grown significantly through strategic acquisitions,
which have broadened its range of testing capabilities to include
substantially all of the major surface analysis techniques and
also expanded its market reach, with an especially meaningful
presence in Europe," said Myung Yi, Managing Director, American
Capital Special Situations Group.  "We've remained impressed with
the direction of the management team and their ability to
successfully and seamlessly integrate eight acquisitions and
exceed growth targets throughout our investment period.  We
believe that EAG is in a strong position to thrive as a public
company and continue its growth trajectory with the support of its
investors and new capital resources."

In September 2005, American Capital invested $34 million in EAG.
EAG was formed by American Capital, the management of EAG and
Auriga Partners Inc., in order to purchase the assets of the
Charles Evans and Associates laboratories from High Voltage
Engineering Corporation, a company that has emerged from
bankruptcy.  The transaction was authorized by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Massachusetts under Section 363 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The transaction also involved the purchase
by EAG of the interests not owned by High Voltage in three EAG
affiliated entities, Evans East, Evans Texas and Cascade
Scientific Labs Inc. American Capital's investment took the form
of a revolving credit facility, senior term loan, senior
subordinated debt and redeemable preferred equity.

Since the original funding, American Capital made subsequent
investments totaling $91 million in EAG, which took the form of
additional senior term loans, additional senior subordinated debt
and an increased revolving credit facility.

"American Capital has been greatly committed to EAG, providing the
capital resources we needed to acquire complementary companies and
build a strong operating platform.  Their commitment, in depth
understanding of our business and goals and valuable experience in
growing companies has enabled us to reach this next phase of
growth," said David Lahar, Evans Analytical Executive Chairman.

AMERICAN CAPITAL: Moody's Rates $5BB Shelf Registration at (P)Ba1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Baa2 rating to American
Capital Strategies, Ltd. $500 million combined debt offering.  

In addition, Moody's assigned a (P)Baa2 senior, unsecured and a
(P)Ba1 preferred stock rating to ACAS's $5 billion shelf
registration.  The ratings outlook is stable.

The Baa2 senior rating reflects ACAS's demonstrated strong
operating performance through multiple economic cycles since its
IPO in 1997.  The company maintains a highly diversified
investment portfolio, which helps to protect against a regional or
sector performance downturn and is a credit positive.

Moody's also recognizes ACAS's commitment to strong portfolio due
diligence through its dedicated Finance Accounting Compliance
Team.  In Moody's view, as the company continues grow quickly, it
will be imperative for ACAS to increase its due diligence
resources.  Moody's expects that this will occur.

From a financial metrics perspective, ACAS is well positioned,
particularly due to the company's substantial equity base.  BDC
regulations require ACAS to effectively maintain leverage below
one to one, which is significant.  ACAS's sizeable equity cushion
provides its debt holders with considerable protection in the
event portfolio valuations decline.

Moody's said that there are a number of risks that balance these
positive attributes.  First, ACAS has demonstrated a substantial
increase in its portfolio as the company has grown both debt and
equity investments, particularly during the last few years.  
Moody's stated that this growth has come at a time when there has
been very limited stress in the US economy and in corporate credit
generally.  While growth to date appears well managed, there is a
risk that the portfolio will not perform as anticipated when
conditions weaken.  Furthermore, ACAS is entering additional
industry segments for investments and is pursuing a strategy of
increasing its focus on managing assets owned by outside parties.
The firm's growth as well as these initiatives could strain the
firm's resources.

Other risks include the subjective nature of the private middle
market company valuation process, substantial shareholder dividend
requirements, and pressure on lending yields, as competition
remains intense.

These ratings were assigned:

-- Senior Unsecured Shelf Rating (P)Baa2
-- Preferred Stock Shelf Rating (P)Ba1
-- Senior Unsecured Rating Baa2

American Capital Strategies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACAS) is headquartered
in Bethesda, Maryland, and reported assets of about $9.1 billion
at March 31, 2007.

ASARCO LLC: Wants Court to Approve Settlement with Gerald Metals
----------------------------------------------------------------
ASARCO LLC and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Texas to approve a settlement with
Gerald Metals, Inc.

ASARCO LLC and Gerald Metals, Inc. are parties to certain
contracts and agreements for the exchange, purchase and toll
conversion of certain copper concentrates.  

ASARCO rejected certain of the Gerald Agreement, which resulted to
Gerald filing Claim No. 8351 against ASARCO.

In May 2006, ASARCO commenced a complaint against Gerald seeking
the payment of approximately $7,100,000 in debt that Gerald
allegedly owed on prepetition invoices.  ASARCO also objected to
Claim No. 8351.

In June that year, ASARCO amended its complaint, adding a claim
seeking the turnover of approximately 534,718 pounds of copper
that were allegedly overshipped to Gerald.  The value of the
overshipped metals using ASARCO's calculations would have been
$1,220,000.  Gerald asserted that only 352,460 pounds of copper
were overshipped.  

After more than a year of discovery and negotiations, ASARCO and
Gerald agreed to resolve their disputes and entered into a
settlement agreement.

The Settlement generally provides that:

   (a) Gerald will pay to ASARCO $5,587,656, which will
       extinguish both Gerald's prepetition debt and the
       Overshipped Metals Dispute.

   (b) Claim No. 8351 will be allowed as an unsecured claim for
       $12,304,158.

   (c) Mutual releases will be executed, releasing parties from
       all claims, obligations and liabilities under the Gerald
       Agreements and the Adversary Proceeding.

   (d) The Adversary Proceeding will be dismissed with prejudice
       and without costs to either party.

   (e) Disputes between the parties related to delivery of one
       rail car will remain open.

        M.M.A. I.A.R.D. Assurances Mutuelles       07-12113

Type of Business: The Debtors had written reinsurance business in
                  the London market through a reinsurance pool
                  that went into a run-off on November 1, 2002.  

                  Reinsurance pools that enter into a run-off,
                  typically completes in 20 or more years, cease
                  underwriting new business and seek to determine,
                  settle and pay all liquidated claims of their
                  insureds as they rise.  To shorten the run-off
                  and reduce administrative cost, the Debtors have
                  each entered into a scheme of arrangement under
                  English Law (collectively, the "Schemes".  The
                  Schemes apply to all business written by the
                  companies within the pool.

                  On February 28, 2007 the companies met with
                  Scheme Creditors, after being allowed by the
                  High Court in the UK in December 12, 2006.  The
                  High Court also confirmed that the Petitioner,
                  Philip Heitlinger, has authority to request
                  recognition and a permanent injunction order
                  under Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code on the
                  December 12 order.  On July 9, 2007, the High
                  Court sanctioned the Schemes, which were voted
                  in favor of by the requisite majorities of
                  Scheme Creditors.  By the Petitions, the
                  Petitioner seeks recognition of the Schemes as a
                  permanent injuction and other relief necessary
                  to ensure the effective implementation of the
                  Schemes through, inter alia, an order of the

Banc of America Structured Securities Trust, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2002-X1 as:

As of the June 11, 2007 distribution date, the transaction's
aggregate certificate balance decreased by about 21.5% to
$226 million from $287.8 million at securitization.  The
certificates are collateralized by 74 loans, ranging in size from
less than 1% to 20.1% of the pool, with the top 10 loans
representing 59.5% of the pool.

The pool has become more concentrated since securitization and now
has a Herfindahl index score of 11 compared to 21 at
securitization.  One loan, representing .1% of the pool, is in
special servicing.  Moody's is not estimating a loss from this
loan currently.  Eight loans have been liquidated from the trust
resulting in aggregate realized losses of about $5.1 million.  Ten
loans, representing 18.8% of the pool, have defeased and have been
replaced with U.S. Government securities.  Twenty-four loans,
representing 36.5% of the pool, are on the master servicer's
watchlist.

Moody's was provided with full-year 2006 and full-year 2005
operating results for 83% and 94%, respectively, of the pool.
Moody's weighted average loan to value ratio for the conduit
component is 98.1%, compared to 99.6% at last review and compared
to 106.5% at securitization.

The top three loans represent 35.9% of the pool.  The largest
conduit loan is the Towson Marketplace Loan
($45.5 million -- 20.1%), which is secured by a 690,000 square
foot retail power center located in Towson, Maryland.  As of
December 2006 the subject was 100% leased, compared to 95.8% at
securitization.  As of December 2006 net operating income had
increased by 34%, compared to calendar year 2001.  Moody's LTV is
90.7%, compared to in excess of 100%, at securitization.

The second largest conduit loan is the 300 California Street Loan
($25.4 million -- 11.2%), which is secured by a 122,612 square
foot Class B office building located in the Financial District of
San Francisco, California.  The loan is on the master servicer's
watchlist due to low debt service coverage.  Moody's LTV is in
excess of 100%, the same as at securitization.

The third largest conduit loan is the Sterling House Portfolio II
Loan ($10.3 million -- 4.6%), which is secured by seven assisted
living facilities containing a total of 278 beds.  The properties
are located in Texas (3), Oklahoma (3) and Florida (1).  Moody's
LTV is 80.8%, compared to 84.8% at last review and compared to
81.3% at securitization.


BEAR STEARNS: Moody's Assigns Low-B Ratings on Two Certificates
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Aaa rating to certain senior
and super senior certificates, and a Aa1 rating to the super
senior support certificates issued by Bear Stearns Asset Backed
Securities I Trust 2007-AC5.  Ratings ranging from Aa2 to B2 were
assigned to the subordinate certificates in the deal.

The securitization is backed by first lien, fixed-rate, Alt-A
mortgage loans originated by EMC Mortgage Corporation (58%), Bear
Stearns Residential Mortgage Corporation (16%), and various other
originators, none of which originated more than 10% of the
mortgage loans.  The ratings are based primarily on the credit
quality of the loans and on the protection against credit losses
provided by subordination.  Moody's expects collateral losses to
range from 1.1% to 1.3%.

EMC Mortgage Corporation (80%) and various other servicers will
service the loans.  EMC Mortgage Corporation will also act as
master servicer.  Moody's assigned EMC Mortgage Corporation its
servicer quality rating of SQ2 as a primary servicer of prime
loans.

The complete rating actions are:

BICENT POWER: Moody's Puts Definitive Ratings on Credit Facilities
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned definitive ratings to the Ba3
and B1 ratings initially assigned on a provisional basis to Bicent
Power LLC's first and second lien credit facilities respectively.

The assignment follows Moody's receipt and review of substantially
final documentation, the terms and conditions of which are not
materially different from those previously conveyed to Moody's.


BNC MORTGAGE: Moody's Assigns Low-B Ratings to Two Certificates
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Aaa rating to the senior
certificates issued by BNC Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-3 and ratings
ranging from Aa1 to Ba2 to the mezzanine and subordinate
certificates in the deal.

The securitization is backed by adjustable-rate and fixed-rate
subprime mortgage loans acquired by BNC Mortgage LLC.  The ratings
are based primarily on the credit quality of the loans and on the
protection provided by subordination, overcollateralization,
excess spread, and interest rate swap and interest rate cap
agreements.  Moody's expects collateral losses to range from 5.1%
to 5.6%.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association will service the loans,
and Aurora Loan Services LLC will act as master servicer.  Moody's
assigned JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association its top
servicer quality rating of SQ1 as a primary servicer of subprime
mortgage loans.  Furthermore, Moody's assigned Aurora Loan
Services LLC its servicer quality rating of SQ1- as master
servicer.

Moody's Investors Service assigned a Aaa rating to the senior
certificates issued by C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2007-SP2, and ratings ranging from Aa1 to Ba1
to the mezzanine certificates in the deal.

The securitization is backed by fixed rate and adjustable rate
seasoned mortgage loans acquired by Credit Based Asset Servicing
and Securitization LLC.  The ratings are based primarily on the
credit quality of the loans, and on the protection from
subordination, excess spread, and overcollateralization.
Additional credit enhancements will be provided by an interest
rate swap agreement and an interest cap agreement, both issued by
The Bank of New York.  Moody's expects collateral losses to range
from 6.05% to 6.55%.

Litton Loan Servicing LP will service the loans.  Moody's assigned
Litton its top servicer quality rating of SQ1 both as a primary
servicer of subprime loans and as a special servicer.

CARDTRONICS INC: Moody's Junks Rating on Proposed $125 Mil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa1 rating to Cardtronics,
Inc.'s proposed additional $125 million "tack-on" high yield
subordinated notes, which will be used to fund the $135 million
acquisition of the assets of financial services business of
7-Eleven.

Moody's also affirmed the corporate family rating of Cardtronics
of B3.  The rating outlook is stable.  The subordinated notes
rating is one notch off the corporate family rating due to the
subordinated preference and the presence of a senior secured
first-lien revolver (not rated) in the capital structure.

The B3 corporate family rating reflects Cardtronics' high debt
leverage, low interest coverage, negative free cash flow due to
very high capital expenditures, moderate customer concentration,
very modest asset coverage due to a low proportion of fixed assets
and a high level of intangible assets and goodwill, company's
relatively high acquisition appetite and slightly higher merchant
attrition rate in the merchant-owned accounts.

However, the rating also reflects Cardtronics leading position in
the growing ATM industry, stability provided by recurring revenues
from long term service contracts, favorable credit profile of
large national, retail and convenience store clients, and strong
service delivery performance as measured by system availability in
excess of 98%, which supports high client retention in the
company-owned accounts.  The increased diversity of Cardtronics'
revenue base due to its operations in UK and Mexico is a further
supporting factor for the ratings.

These ratings are assigned:

-- $125 million subordinated debt rating Caa1, LGD4, 67%

These ratings are affirmed:

-- Corporate family rating of B3
-- Probability of default rating of B3
-- $200 million subordinated debt rating of Caa1, LGD4, 67%

The rating outlook is stable.

There could be upward pressure on the ratings should the company
experience sustained organic revenue growth, contained capital
spending, such that debt leverage as measured by debt to EBITDA
less capital expenditures falls below 8 times and EBITDA less
capital expenditures interest coverage is greater than 1.0x.
Conversely, a significant increase in debt financed acquisition
spending, weakening cash flow relative to debt service coverage
and increasing capital spending needs could result in negative
ratings pressure.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Cardtronics, Inc is a leading ATM
operator.


CONCENTRA OPERATING: Earns $5.5 Million in Quarter Ended March 31
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Concentra Operating Corp. reported net income of $5.5 million on
total revenue of $248.9 million for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2007, compared with net income of $5.8 million on total
revenue of $234.2 million for the same period ended March 31,
2006.  Results for quarters ended March 31, 2007, and 2006,
includes losses from discontinued operations of $2.5 million and
$417,000, respectively.

Operating income was $25.1 million in the first quarter,
reflecting a 13% increase from $22.2 million reported in the same
period last year.  Income from continuing operations increased 28%
to $8 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $6.3 million in
the year-earlier period.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization grew by 15% in the quarter to
$45 million from $39.0 million which was reported for the same
period in 2006.  

Commenting on the first quarter results, Daniel J. Thomas,
Concentra's president and chief executive officer, said, "We are
pleased with our strong first quarter results, particularly those
provided by our health services business, which contributed
significantly to the increases we experienced in both revenues and
earnings.  A higher-than-anticipated level of workers'
compensation-related care, together with other initiatives, helped
produce a solid performance for this division.  These results
reflect a good start to the new year, especially in light of the
recent sale of our workers' compensation managed care services
business units and the proposed corporate restructuring.  I am
very proud of the dedication and focus demonstrated by my
Concentra colleagues.  I look forward to maintaining the momentum
generated during the first quarter and continuing the Company's
progress throughout 2007."

Concentra Operating completed the first quarter of 2007 with
$89.1 million in unrestricted cash and investments and no
outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

                           *     *     *

As of July 10, 2007, the company carries Moody's B1 senior secured
debt rating.  Moody's also rates the company's long-term corporate
family rating and probability of default rating at Caa1.  The
outlook is stable.

Standard & Poor's rates the company's long-term foreign and local
issuer credits at B.  The outlook is stable.


COPA CASINO: S&P Lifts Corporate Credit Rating to B+ from B
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Copa Casino of Mississippi LLC to 'B+' from 'B'.  The
rating outlook is stable.
     
In addition, Standard & Poor's raised its issue-level rating on
Copa's $230 million senior secured credit facilities to 'BB' from
'BB-'.  The recovery rating of '1', indicating that lenders can
expect very high (90% to 100%) recovery in the event of a payment
default, remains unchanged.
     
Copa is the majority owner and operator of the Island View Casino
Resort in Gulfport, Mississippi.  "The rating upgrade reflects
Island View's solid performance since its initial opening in
September 2006, with EBITDA ramping up well despite the entrance
of new competition to the Gulf Coast in the past year," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ariel Silverberg.  "Full-year
performance is expected to result in credit measures being in line
with the 'B+' rating.  Metrics should continue to improve with the
completion of the facility's expansion in May: Capital
expenditures will decline, and we expect cash flow to be used for
debt repayment."
     
Island View's good performance has been driven, in part, by the
improved quality of the facility, in conjunction with market
supply that currently remains under pre-hurricane levels
(approximately 5,700 fewer slot machines in April 2007 than in
April 2005).  Given Island View's position as the only operator in
the city of Gulfport and its attractiveness as a locals-oriented
property, S&P expect performance to remain solid even as
competitors continue to re-open and expand.  Still, the facility's
risk profile is constrained given that it is a single property
operating in a competitive region.
     
Given that Copa is a private company, public financial statements
are not available.  However, performance to date has exceeded
expectations and supports the current rating.


CORPORACION DURANGO: Fitch Rates Proposed $520 Mil. Notes at B+
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'B' foreign and local currency issuer
default rating to Corporacion Durango, S.A. de C.V.'s.  In
conjunction with this rating action, Fitch has assign a 'B+'
rating to the company's proposed $150 million amortizing five year
notes and its proposed $370 million notes due in 2017.  These
notes have also been assigned a Recovery Rating of 'RR3', which is
consistent with an anticipated recovery of 50%-70% in the event of
a default.  The expectation of an above average recovery in the
event of default has resulted in the notes being notched up one
level from the company's IDR.

Durango's credit ratings are supported by the company's leading
business positions in corrugated boxes, containerboard and
newsprint within Mexico.  Further considered in the company's
ratings are its operations in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona, which
complement the company's focus on manufacturers based in Mexico
and aide in its collection of recycled paper.

Balanced against these strengths are the company's high leverage
and the cyclical nature of the paper and packaging industries.  
While market conditions are generally considered favorable for
Durango at this moment, a sudden downturn in the industry would
squeeze the company's debt service ability and could forestall its
debt reduction efforts.  Further considered in Durango's credit
ratings is the amount of money the company uses to finance sales
to its Mexican clients.  Historically, downturns in Mexico's
economy have resulted in the growth of the days receivables are
outstanding for Durango and has put pressure on the company's cash
flow from operations.  In recent years Durango has made strides to
reduce its reliance upon the purchase of recycled fiber in the
U.S. - mainly old corrugated containers.  Nevertheless, the
company still imports nearly one-third of its recycled fiber
requirements.  If prices for recycled fiber in the U.S. move
sharply upward due to purchases by the Chinese, as happened in
2002, the company may not be able to pass price increases to its
clients and its margins would be squeezed.

During 2006, Durango generated US$114 million of operating EBITDA
and $77 million of funds from operations.  These figures are
improvements from US$73 million of EBITDA and $40 million of FFO
in 2005 and were driven by increased sales volumes and higher
prices.  Durango had $554 million of debt as of Dec. 31, 2006.  
Its total debt-to-EBITDA ratio for 2006 was 4.8 times and its FFO-
to-Leverage ratio was 7.2x.

Durango reduced its total debt by $93 million in 2006.  The
company also purchased land and an industrial facility in
Tizayuca, Mexico, for $10 million.  In conjunction with this
acquisition, the company entered an agreement to lease equipment
at this site , which that has an installed capacity of 200,000
tons of linerboard per year and 100,000 tons of corrugated boxes.  
Sources of cash for the debt reduction and acquisition, in
addition to US$61 million of free cash flow, were a $30 million
equity infusion by the Rincon family and a reduction in the
company's cash balance to $43 million at the end of 2006 from $66
million at the end of the prior year.

The Rincon family owns 80.4% of the company, while the rest is
publicly held.  The family is actively involved in the day-to-day
operations of the company with several members of the family in
key business positions.  Shares representing 28% of the company's
stock have been pledged to Banamex by the Rincon family and
Administradora Corporativa y Mercantil, S.A. de C.V., a company
owned and controlled by the Rincon family, to secure a loan made
by Banamex to ACM.  According to terms of the pledge agreement,
Banamex may sell these shares if the price of Durango's stock
meets or exceeds the peso equivalent of $1.50 on the Mexican Stock
Exchange, regardless of whether or not an event of default has
occurred.  At $1.50 per share, this would represent sales proceeds
of $46.5 million to Banamex.  It is possible that in the future
the Rincon family will use the free cash flow of Durango or its
balance sheet to raise the funds that are necessary to repay all
or a part of ACM's loan from Banamex, thereby preventing the
dilution of their ownership stake in Durango.


COVENTRY HEALTH: Moody's Affirms Senior Unsec. Debt's Ba1 Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Coventry Health Care, Inc.'s
ratings -- senior unsecured debt at Ba1 and insurance financial
strength ratings of its key operating subsidiaries at Baa1 -- and
changed the outlook to stable from positive.

This action, according to Moody's, is based on Coventry's
announcement to acquire Vista Healthplans for $685 million.
Moody's stated that the increased level of debt and integration
issues involved as a result of this acquisition make an upgrade of
the company over the next 12 months unlikely.  However, the rating
agency noted, Coventry's financial and business profile still
position the company at the current ratings level; therefore, the
ratings were affirmed and the outlook changed back to stable.

The last rating action on Coventry occurred on Oct. 6, 2006 when
the outlook was changed to positive from stable.  At that time,
Moody's noted Coventry's progress with the integration of the
First Health business, its solid earnings results, and its
enhanced levels of cash flow from both regulated and unregulated
sources.  While these metrics have not changed, another key
consideration according to the rating agency was the company's
more focused M&A strategy, concentrating on expansion in key
markets to offer comprehensive products on a national basis.  

While the Vista Healthplans acquisition does provide expansion
into the key Florida marketplace, the size and scope of this plan
will not add considerably to Coventry's national capabilities in
the near term.  Meanwhile, the increased level of debt will result
in the adjusted financial leverage to be over 30%.  In addition, a
continuing concern of the rating agency has been Coventry's
challenge of managing, growing, and unifying its 17 distinct
health plans into a national company.  With the latest
acquisition, the number of distinct health plans has grown to 18.

The rating agency commented that while Coventry continues to
acquire companies of this nature without providing a clear and
timely strategy that develops it into a national healthcare
company, the resulting increasing debt and inherent integration
issues will make future upgrades unlikely.  However, the ratings
may be upgraded if Coventry focuses on smaller, less risky
acquisitions that involve no additional debt and limited
integration issues, maintains its consolidated NAIC risk based
capital level in the 200% company action level range with
reasonable and profitable growth, maintains annual net margins of
at least 4%, and achieves consistent annual organic membership
growth of 3%.

However, Moody's also said that the ratings may be downgraded if
Coventry were to make a large acquisition involving significant
debt financing or integration challenges, increase its financial
leverage above 35%, experience a decrease in commercial membership
over a twelve month period, if annual net margins fall below 3%,
or if the company experienced integration problems with a current
or future acquisition.

Ratings affirmed with the outlook changed to stable from positive
include:

Coventry Health Care, Inc.:

-- senior unsecured debt rating at Ba1;
-- corporate family rating at Ba1;

HealthAssurance Pennsylvania, Inc:

-- insurance financial strength rating at Baa1;

HealthAmerica Pennsylvania, Inc.:

-- insurance financial strength rating at Baa1;

Group Health Plan, Inc.:

-- insurance financial strength rating at Baa1.

Moody's insurance financial strength ratings are opinions of the
ability of insurance companies to repay punctually senior
policyholder claims and obligations.

Coventry Health Care, Inc. headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland
reported medical membership of 3.4 million and Part D Medicare
membership of about 700,000 as of March 31, 2007.  The company
reported net income of $122 million on revenues of about
$2.3 billion for the three months ending March 31, 2007.


DAE AVIATION: High Leverage Cues S&P's B+ Corp. Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to DAE Aviation Holdings Inc.  At the same time,
Standard & Poor's assigned its 'BB-' bank loan and '2' recovery
rating to DAE Aviation's proposed $937 million secured credit
facility, indicating expectations of substantial recovery (70%-
90%) in the event of payment default.  In addition, the company's
proposed $325 million unsecured notes are rated 'B-'.  The outlook
is stable.
      
"The ratings on DAE Aviation reflect a highly leveraged financial
profile, weak credit protection measures, and exposure to the
competitive and cyclical general and commercial aviation markets,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christopher DeNicolo.  
"These factors are offset somewhat by the firm's leading positions
in markets served and less cyclical military business."  The
ratings and outlook assume the successful sale in the next 12
months of the company's Airport Services business, which includes
the fixed-base-operations, aircraft charter, and aircraft sales
businesses, with the proceeds being used to reduce debt.
     
DAE Aviation was formed by Dubai Aerospace Enterprises Ltd. to
affect the acquisition of Standard Aero Holdings Inc. and Piedmont
Hawthorne Holdings Inc. from the Carlyle Group for a total
consideration of approximately $1.9 billion.  Although DAE is
contributing $810 million of cash equity, leverage will be high
with pro forma debt to EBITDA above 7x at close.  However, this
will decline below 5.5x following the planned sale of the PHHI FBO
business and associated debt reduction and lower leases.  Due to
the large equity component, debt to capital will be not as
aggressive at around 65% at close, declining to around 50% after
the FBO sale.  Other credit protection measures are also expected
to be weak, with funds from operations to debt of 5%-10% and
EBITDA interest coverage 1.5x-2x.
     
DAE Aviation Holdings Inc. will be a leading provider of
maintenance, repair, and overhaul of engines for business and
regional jets.  In addition, the company also provides component
and airframe repairs, large business jet completions and
modifications, MRO services for certain military engines, and
engineering services.  The FBO business will be held in trust and
run separately until it is sold.  The continuing operations will
be organized into five segments, business and general aviation
(36% of 2006 pro forma revenues), military MRO services (23%),
airline and fleets (20%), services (13%), and Associated Air
Center (8%).
     
Although leverage will initially be quite high, debt reduction
using the proceeds from the sale of the Airport Services assets
and free cash flow should enable the company to attain credit
protection measures more appropriate for the rating.  The outlook
could be revised to negative or ratings lowered if the firm is
unable to sell the FBO business or the proceeds are not sufficient
to fully repay the asset sale facility.  A revision of the outlook
to positive is not likely in the intermediate term.

DELPHI CORP: Formally Terminates Cerberus Capital Agreement
-----------------------------------------------------------
Delphi Corp. formally terminated the Equity Purchase and
Commitment Agreement and related Plan Framework Support Agreement
it entered into in December 2006 with Cerberus Capital Management,
L.P. and other plan investors.

The company had announced on April 19, 2007 that it did not expect
that Cerberus would continue as a plan investor.

Delphi expects to enter into new framework agreements with plan
investors later this month.

A Delphi Board of Directors meeting is scheduled on July 16, 2007
to consider these matters.

These developments are not expected to prevent Delphi from filing
its plan of reorganization and related documents with the
Bankruptcy Court prior to the current expiration of the company's
exclusivity period or emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization
this year.

On June 29, Delphi filed a motion seeking approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York of a
ratified UAW-Delphi-GM agreement.  Delphi is currently engaged in
settlement discussions with its second and third largest U.S.
labor unions and is working to conclude discussions with those
unions as well as three smaller unions as soon as possible.

The company also confirmed that its discussions with GM on a
comprehensive settlement agreement had entered the documentation
phase and that it expected that a settlement with GM would be
incorporated into the company's plan of reorganization rather than
filed with the Bankruptcy Court for separate approval.

Consistent with its prior practice, Delphi does not intend to
comment further regarding its discussions with GM or its unions
while those discussions are ongoing.  Delphi cautioned that
nothing in Court or regulatory filings made by the company or the
company's public disclosures will be deemed a solicitation to
accept or reject a plan in contravention of the Bankruptcy Code or
an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities of the company.

DEUTSCHE ALT-A: Moody's Assigns Low-B Ratings on Two Certificates
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Aaa rating to the senior
certificates issued by Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan
Trust 2007-1 and ratings ranging from Aa1 to Ba2 to the
subordinate certificates in the deal.

The securitization is backed by fixed and adjustable-rate, alt-a
mortgage loans acquired by DB Structured Products, Inc. The
collateral was originated by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc, National
City Mortgage Co, and other mortgage lenders, none of which
originated more than 10% of the mortgage loans.  The ratings are
based primarily on the credit quality of the loans and on
protection against credit losses by subordination, excess spread,
and overcollateralization.  Additional credit enhancements include
a certificate insurance policy, interest-rate swap agreements and
interest rate cap agreements.  Moody's expects collateral losses
to range from .9% to 1.1%.

GMAC Mortgage, LLC, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, and
National City Mortgage Co. will service the mortgage loans and
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer.  Moody's
assigned Wells Fargo its servicer quality rating of SQ1 as a
master servicer of mortgage loans.

DISTRIBUTION FINANCIAL: S&P Lowers Rating on Class D Notes to B
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the class
D notes from Distribution Financial Services RV/Marine Trust 2001-
1 to 'B' from 'BBB'.  Concurrently, S&P raised its ratings on the
class B and C notes, also from series 2001-1, to 'AAA' and 'AA+'
from 'AA' and 'A', respectively.  At the same time, S&P affirmed
its 'AAA' rating on the class A-5 notes from the same series.
     
The downgrade of the class D notes reflects the loss level, which
is higher than S&P's initial expectation, along with the lack of
cumulative excess spread generated by the loan pool due to the
high prepayment speed.  The class D notes rely on excess spread
and funds from a reserve account for credit enhancement.  With a
current pool factor of 13.66%, the current cumulative net losses
are 3.36%, above the original expected cumulative net losses of
2.25%.  In addition, the prepayment speed has been higher than
expected, which has shortened the life of the transaction and
decreased the available excess spread.  The required reserve
account level is 0.75% of the initial pool balance, but the
reserve account has not been fully funded for 31 consecutive
months.  Currently, the reserve account has $1,781,258.87, which
is less than half of the required amount of $3,971,004.
     
The upgrades primarily reflect the availability of subordination
as additional credit enhancement for the class B and C notes.  
Also, the notes benefit from a sequential payment structure, and
subordination for these notes is growing as a percentage of the
current pool balance.  The transaction allows the payment
structure to switch to pro rata at month 50 unless the triggers
are breached.  Since one of the triggers that requires the reserve
account to be fully funded at its target level has been in breach,
the payment structure has remained sequential throughout the life
of the transaction.  

S&P do not expect the transaction to generate enough excess cash
to build the reserve account to the target level because the deal
is not generating enough excess spread and the inventory level
remains low.  Therefore, it is unlikely that the payment structure
will switch to pro rata.  The low delinquency level is another
positive factor.  Currently, 60-plus-day delinquencies are 0.5% of
the current pool balance, and 90-plus-day delinquencies are 0.29%
of the current pool balance.
     
Standard & Poor's expects that the remaining credit support will
be sufficient to support the notes at the raised and lowered
rating levels.

EDUCATE INC: S&P Holds CCC+ Rating on Second-Lien Facility
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that, as a result of
significant changes made to the structure and pricing of the
original deal proposal, it revised certain ratings related to the
$290 million bank loan facilities of Educate Inc. (B/Stable/--).
     
The bank loan ratings on the revolving credit facility and term
loan B have been lowered to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  The recovery rating
has been revised to '2', indicating S&P's expectation of
substantial (70%-90%) recovery in the event of a payment default,
from '1'.
     
At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'CCC+' bank loan rating on the
second-lien facility.  The recovery rating on the second-lien
facility is unchanged at '6', indicating S&P's expectation for
negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of default.
     
The facilities now consist of a $15 million revolving credit
facility maturing in 2012, a $200 million first-lien term loan B
maturing in 2013, and a $75 million second-lien term loan maturing
in 2014.
      
Proceeds from the credit facilities, which closed on June 14,
2007, were used to repay the company's previous credit facilities
and to partially fund the acquisition of the surviving businesses
of Educate Inc. from its former shareholders by an investor group
that includes Sterling Capital Partners L.P., Citigroup Capital
Partners, and management.

FIRST HORIZON: Fitch Places B Ratings on Watch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings takes various rating actions on these First Horizon
Home Loan Mortgage Trust issues:

Series 2005-AA9:

    -- Class A affirmed at 'AAA';
    -- Class B1 affirmed at 'AA';
    -- Class B2 affirmed at 'A';
    -- Class B3 affirmed at 'BBB';
    -- Class B4 affirmed at 'BB';
    -- Class B5 rated 'B', placed on Rating Watch Negative.

Series 2006-AA5:

    -- Class A affirmed at 'AAA';
    -- Class B1 affirmed at 'AA';
    -- Class B2 affirmed at 'A';
    -- Class B3 affirmed at 'BBB';
    -- Class B4 affirmed at 'BB';
    -- Class B5 rated 'B', placed on Rating Watch Negative.

The mortgage loans consist of conventional, fully amortizing,
adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on single-
family residential properties.  As of the June 2007 distribution
date, the transactions are 11 and 21 months seasoned and the pool
factors are 0.71% and 0.78%, respectively.  These transactions are
serviced by First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, rated 'RPS2' by
Fitch.

The affirmations reflect credit enhancement consistent with future
loss expectations and affect approximately $556 million of
outstanding certificates.  All classes in the transactions
detailed above have experienced small to moderate growth in CE
since closing, and there have been no collateral losses to date.

The classes placed on Rating Watch Negative shows signs of
increasing credit risk and affects approximately $3.6 million of
outstanding certificates.

Approximately 2.45% of the current collateral balance for series
2005-AA9 is more than 60 days delinquent.  This includes
bankruptcy, foreclosures and real estate owned of 0.17%, 0.70% and
0.77%, respectively.  The credit enhancement for the B-1, B-2, B-3
and B-4 classes is 5.11%, 3.41%, 2.07% and 1.22%, respectively.

For series 2006-AA5, approximately 1.90% of the current collateral
balance is more than 60 days delinquent.  This includes
foreclosures and real estate owned of 0.97% and 0.15%,
respectively.  The credit enhancement for the B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-
4 classes is 3.61%, 2.38%, 1.48% and 0.84%, respectively.


FRASER PAPERS: Financial Risk Cues S&P to Cut Rating to CCC-
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Toronto-
based Fraser Papers Inc., including its long-term corporate credit
rating, to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  The outlook is negative.
     
The company's continued poor financial performance, which has
caused liquidity to deteriorate to very weak levels, is driving
the downgrade.  Fraser Papers reported negative EBITDA of
$2.6 million for first-quarter 2007.  Weak lumber prices, lower
paper shipments, and increased costs in the company's pulp and
paper operations are contributing to negative free cash flow amid
difficult industry conditions.
     
"The ratings on Fraser Papers reflect the company's precarious
financial risk, which is characterized by weak cash flow that is
inadequate to fund its fixed charges for interest and capital
expenditures," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Don Marleau.  
Fraser Papers' viability relies heavily on external factors, such
as improved product prices, reduced input costs, and a lower
Canadian dollar.
     
In the past few years, Fraser Papers has been positioning itself
as a producer of specialty grades of paper, prices for which are
less volatile than straight commodity grades.  These efforts have
not improved the company's earnings or cash flows, as each segment
is still greatly affected by cost pressures such as, fiber, energy
and freight.  The drop in lumber prices stemming from the sharp
slowdown in U.S. housing activity has also contributed to weaker
profitability.
     
The outlook is negative.  Fraser Papers' ability to generate
positive operating cash flow is volatile, and the company's
viability depends on factors outside of its control, such as
sustained stronger lumber, paper and pulp prices or a marked
decline in the Canadian dollar and other cost inputs.  The ongoing
operating cash flow drain and debt repurchase will likely continue
to affect the company's liquidity.


FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR: Launches Exchange Offers for Senior Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Freescale Semiconductor has launched its offer to exchange:

   a) $500 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior
      Floating Rate Notes due 2014;

      Senior Fixed Rate Notes due 2014; and

   d) $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of its 10-1/8%
      Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 for any and all of its
      outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2014, 9-1/8% and
      9-7/8% Senior PIK-Election Notes due 2014, 8-7/8% Senior
      Fixed Rate Notes due 2014, and 10-1/8% Senior Subordinated

As of the June 21, 2007 distribution date the transaction's
aggregate bond balance decreased to $405.7 million from
$406.2 million at securitization.  The certificates are
collateralized by 91 classes of CMBS securities from 62
transactions.

Moody's reviewed the ratings or shadow ratings of all the
collateral supporting the certificates.  Since securitization
there have been no losses in the underlying collateral.  Seven
CMBS classes have been upgraded and none downgraded.  Shadow
ratings were upgraded for 21 CMBS classes and none downgraded.

Moody's uses a weighted average rating factor as an overall
indicator of the credit quality of a CDO transaction.  A decrease
in the WARF indicates an overall improvement in credit quality.

Based on Moody's analysis, the WARF decreased to 656 from 734 at
securitization.  The distribution of ratings (actual and shadow
ratings) are:

-- Aaa (.5% compared to 0% at securitization),
-- Aa1-Aa3 (.5% compared to 0% at securitization),
-- A1-A3 (3% compared to .5% at securitization),
-- Baa1-Baa3 (67.2% compared to 63.9% at securitization);
-- Ba1-Ba3 (28.8% compared to 35.1% at securitization) and
-- B1-B3 (0% compared to .5% at securitization).

The CMBS certificates are from pools securitized between 1997 and
2006.  The largest vintage exposures are 2004 (36.1%) and 2005
(33.9%).  The five largest CMBS exposures are GCCFC 2005-GG5
(6.2%), WBCMT 2005-C19 (5.7%), CSFB 2004-C3 (5.4%), BACM 2005-4

we accomplished our goal, which preserved trade creditor claims

importance is that our normal business operations, as well as the
patients, physicians and hospitals we serve, have been
uninterrupted by this process.  We thank our employees, customers,
lenders, vendors and partners for their continued support during
this challenging period and appreciate their confidence in our
business and the quality of services we deliver.

"As a result, we have eliminated $194.5 million of debt, improved
our liquidity and negotiated a continued revolving credit
facility.  This is a positive step to ensure our long-term
financial health, as we strive to emerge as a stronger player in
the marketplace," Jorgensen concluded.

K&F INDUSTRIES: Commences Cash Tender Offer for $315 Million Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
K&F Industries Inc., a subsidiary of Meggitt-USA Inc., commenced a
cash tender offer for any and all of its $315 million aggregate
principal amount of 7-3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2014
(CUSIP Nos: 482238AB8, U4865PAA5, 482238AA0 and 482240AM0) and a
consent solicitation to adopt certain amendments to the indenture
governing the notes that will eliminate or modify substantially
all of the restrictive covenants applicable to these notes.

The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made upon the
terms and subject to the conditions as described in K&F's offer to
purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated July 9, 2007
and related letter of transmittal and consent.

K&F is making the offer following the acquisition by Meggitt of
K&F Industries Holdings Inc., K&F's parent company.  In connection
with the acquisition, K&F became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Meggitt.  The offer also exceeds K&F's obligation to offer to
repurchase the notes for 101% of the principal amount of each
outstanding note following a change of control.

A holder's tendering of notes will be deemed to constitute
delivery of that holder's consent to the proposed amendments.
Holders of notes may not tender their notes without delivering
their consent to the proposed amendments, and holders may not
deliver consents without tendering their notes.

The offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on Aug. 3,
2007, unless extended at the sole discretion of K&F or earlier
terminated.  Holders of the notes must tender their notes and
deliver their consent to the proposed amendments at or prior to
5 p.m., New York City time, on July 20, 2007, unless extended by
K&F, in order to receive the total consideration, which includes
both the tender consideration and the consent payment.  Holders of
notes tendering their notes after the consent time but prior to
the expiration time will only receive the tender consideration.  
Tendered notes may be withdrawn and the related consents may be
revoked at any time prior to the consent time, but not thereafter.

The "total consideration" to be paid for each note validly
tendered and with respect to which a consent is validly tendered
before the consent time, subject to the terms and conditions of
the offer, will be paid in cash and calculated based in part on
the yield on the 4.625% U.S. treasury note due Nov. 15, 2009,
which yield will be calculated as of 2 p.m., New York City time,
on the second business day prior to Aug. 3, 2007, the scheduled
expiration time.  The total consideration for each note will be
equal to the sum of:

     (i) the product of 65% and the present value of scheduled
         payments up to the initial redemption date on the note
         based on a fixed spread pricing formula utilizing a yield
         equal to that of the reference security, plus 50 basis
         points; plus

    (ii) the product of 35% and $1,077.50, which is equal to the
         price at which K&F is permitted to redeem up to 35% of
         the notes with the proceeds of an equity offering, which
         includes a capital contribution from its parent.

The detailed methodology for calculating the total consideration
for notes is described more fully in the statement.

Holders whose notes are purchased in the offer will also be paid
accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date
to, but not including, the settlement date.  Included in the total
consideration is a payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of
notes.  Only notes with consents validly tendered at or prior to
the consent time will be eligible to receive the total
consideration.  Holders validly tendering notes after the consent
time and on or prior to the expiration time will only be eligible
to receive an amount equal to the total consideration less the
consent payment.

The settlement date will be promptly after the expiration time,
which is expected to be the third business day after the
expiration time.

K&F has engaged Barclays Capital Inc. as dealer manager for the
offer.  Persons with questions regarding the offer should contact
Barclays Capital toll-free at (866) 307-8991 or collect at (212)
412-4072 (attention: Liability Management).

Requests for documents should be directed to Georgeson Inc., the
information agent for the offer, toll-free at (888) 605-7549 or
collect at (212) 440-9800.

KENDLE INT'L: Wants to Offer $150 Million of Convertible Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kendle International Inc. intends to offer, subject to market and
other conditions, an aggregate of $150 million of convertible
senior notes due in 2012.

The notes will be convertible, in certain circumstances, into a
combination of cash and Kendle common stock.  Upon conversion,
holders will receive cash up to the principal amount of the notes
to be converted, and any excess conversion value will be delivered
in shares of the company's common stock.

The company intends to grant the underwriter an option to purchase
up to an additional $22.5 million of convertible senior notes to
cover over-allotments, if any.

In connection with the offering, Kendle intends to enter into
convertible note hedge transactions with certain dealers.  These
transactions are intended to reduce the potential dilution to the
company's shareholders upon any future conversion of the notes.
The company also intends to enter into warrant transactions
concurrently with the offering, pursuant to which it intends to
sell warrants to purchase Kendle common stock to the same dealers
that intend to enter into the convertible note hedge transactions.

In connection with the convertible note hedge transactions, it is
expected that the dealers that are party to such transactions, or
their affiliates, will enter into various derivative or other
transactions with respect to Kendle common stock.  In addition,
following pricing of the offering of the notes, such parties or
their affiliates may continue to enter into, or to unwind, various
derivatives transactions with respect to Kendle common stock
and/or to purchase or sell shares of Kendle common stock in
secondary market transactions, including during the cash
settlement averaging period relating to a conversion of the notes.

The company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from this
note offering for the repayment of debt under its credit agreement
and for general corporate purposes, which may include working
capital and acquisitions or investments in businesses, products or
technologies complementary to its own.

UBS Investment Bank is acting as sole book-running manager in
connection with the offering.

The public offering of the company's convertible senior notes will
be made only by means of a prospectus under the company's existing
$300 million shelf registration statement.

LIBERTY MEDIA: Earns $369 Million in Quarter Ended March 31
-----------------------------------------------------------
Liberty Media Corp. reported net income of $369 million on revenue
of $2.12 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007,
compared with a net loss of $26 million on revenue of
$1.90 billion for the same period in 2006.

The increase in revenue is due primarily to a $129 million or 8.3%
increase for QVC Inc. and $61 million generated by Starz Media
LLC, which the company acquired in August 2006.  In addition, the
company recognized full-quarter revenue for Provide Commerce Inc.
and FUN Technologies Inc. in 2007.  These increases were partially
offset by a $24 million decrease for TruePosition Inc.

Consolidated Operating Cash Flow increased $27 million or 6.8%
during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the
corresponding prior year period.  This increase is due primarily
to a $32 million or 78.0% increase in Starz Entertainment's
operating cash flow and a $19 million or 5.4% increase in QVC's
operating cash flow.  These increases were partially offset by an
$18 million decrease in operating cash flow for TruePosition due
to the reduction in revenue.

In connection with the company's adoption of Statement 123R, the
company recorded an $89 million transition adjustment in the first
quarter of 2006, net of related income taxes.   The company
recorded $22 million of stock compensation expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, compared with $30 million for the
comparable period in 2006.

Consolidated operating income increased $25 million or
11.2% to $249 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
as compared to $224 million for the corresponding prior year
period.  This increase is the net effect of an increase in
operating income for Starz Entertainment and QVC, partially offset
by operating losses generated by Starz Media and TruePosition.

The increase in net income is primarily due to the increase in
consolidated operating income and the realized and unrealized
gains on financial instruments of $344 million, versus realized
and unrealized losses of $193 million in 2006.  In addition, the
company recognized $42 million of earnings from discontinued
operations in 2007 versus a $6 million loss from discontinued
operations in 2006.  In 2006, the company also recognized a
transition adjustment of $89 million related to the adoption of
Statement 123R.

At March 31, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$47.62 billion in total assets, $24.99 billion in total
liabilities, $139 million in minority interests in equity in
subsidiaries, and $22.49 billion in total stockholders' equity.

interest in an 1.4 million square foot regional mall located in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  The mall is anchored by Sears, Dillard's,
J.C. Penney and Steve and Barry's University Sportswear.  The
center also included a Foley's Department store at securitization
(238,000 square feet; not part of collateral), but this store has
closed.  The in-line space was 75% occupied as of May 2007,
compared to 77% at securitization.  Financial performance has been
impacted by increased operating expenses.  Moody's current shadow
rating is Ba1, compared to Baa3 at securitization.

The top three conduit loans represent 23.9% of the pool. The
largest conduit loan is the 195 Broadway Loan
($196 million -- 12.8%), which is secured by a 915,000 square foot
office building located in New York City.  The property was 84.3%
occupied as of December 2006, essentially the same at
securitization.  Moody's LTV is 114.2%, the same as at
securitization.

The second largest conduit loan is the 1875 K Street Loan
($85 million -- 5.6%), which is secured by a 188,000 square foot
Class A office building located in Washington D.C.  The property
was 99% occupied as of December 2006, the same as at
securitization.  Moody's LTV is 118.4%, compared to 123.9% at
securitization.

The third largest conduit loan is the L-3 Communications Loan ($84
million -- 5.5%), which is secured by an eight building
office/industrial park totaling 901,000 square feet.  The complex
is located in Salt Lake City, Utah and is 100% leased, the same as
at securitization. Moody's LTV is 99.9%, essentially the same as
at securitization.


OMNICARE INC: Earns $43 Million in Quarter Ended March 31
---------------------------------------------------------
Omnicare Inc. reported net income of $43 million on net sales of
$1.58 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared
with net income of $53.2 million on net sales of $1.66 billion for
the same period ended March 31, 2007.

Results for both the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 include
special items of $21.9 million pretax and $47.9 million pretax,
respectively.  Excluding these special items, adjusted net income
was $56.5 million in 2007 compared with $86.1 million in 2006.

The deconsolidation of the joint venture operations in which the
company owns less than a 100% interest, as a result of the a
change to the equity method of accounting which was effective in
the third quarter of 2006, reduced reported sales by approximately
$28 million for the 2007 first quarter but had no impact on
earnings.

Included in the results for the first quarter of 2007 (including
the adjusted results) are expenses totaling approximately
$2.6 million pretax comprising temporary labor, administrative and
operating costs incurred in connection with the implementation of
the Medicare Part D drug benefit, as compared with approximately
$9.8 million pretax in such costs in the first quarter of 2006.
The first quarter of 2007 and 2006 also included $1.5 million
pretax, and $2.9 million, respectively, in expense related to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R), effective Jan. 1, 2006.

Moreover, the results for the first quarter of 2007 (including the
adjusted results) were impacted by the unilateral reduction by
UnitedHealth Group Inc. and its affiliates in the reimbursement
rates paid by United to Omnicare.  This unilateral reduction in
rates reduced sales and operating profit in the first quarter of
2007 by approximately $30.5 million.  This matter is currently the
subject of litigation initiated by Omnicare and is before the
federal court in the Northern District of Illinois.

Commenting on the results for the quarter, Joel F. Gemunder,
Omnicare's president and chief executive officer, said, "Our
first-quarter results were short of expectations as we saw our
institutional pharmacy business primarily impacted by three
factors that we are already addressing.  First and foremost, our
results were impacted by certain generic drugs, with unusually
high volume, whose exclusivity period expired, resulting in lower
prices.  Moreover, our margins were further impacted by the timing
difference between these price reductions and our ability to
realize our new, lower drug acquisition costs as existing
inventory, at a higher historical cost, was being depleted.  This
situation was exacerbated by the disproportionate size and
unfavorable terms of our current contract with United/PacifiCare.
Fortunately, we believe this issue will begin to self-correct in
the second quarter as lower drug costs previously negotiated begin
to roll through our inventory.  Despite the whipsaw effect we saw
this quarter, we continue to believe that generics are favorable
both to payors and to the Company.

"Also during the quarter, we experienced higher than expected
labor costs in our pharmacy operations as well as a lower than
anticipated number of beds served.  We are taking aggressive
actions to bring labor costs back in line, and we continue with
our short and long-term initiatives that we believe will have a
salutary effect on future bed growth.

"In contrast to the earnings performance, cash flow from
operations was exceedingly strong and progress continues in our
longer term productivity initiatives.

Cash flow from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007,
reached a record $174.8 million versus $82.8 million in the
comparable prior-year quarter.  Cash flow for the 2007 quarter
included the receipt of approximately $7.6 million in previously
delayed payments from the Illinois Department of Public Aid
(Illinois Medicaid).  The 2007 quarter also included $6.3 million
in incremental cash costs relating to the closure of the company's
former Heartland repackaging operations.  Cash flow for the 2006
quarter was favorably impacted by the return of a deposit of
approximately $38.3 million from one of the company's drug
wholesalers.

During the first quarter of 2007, the company repaid $50 million
in debt and at March 31, 2007, had $199.3 million in cash on its
balance sheet.

                          Special Items

Special items for the first quarter of 2007 include a pretax
charge of $9.2 million for restructuring and other related costs
associated primarily with the implementation of the Omnicare Full
Potential Plan, special litigation charges of $6.9 million pretax
relating to litigation-related professional fees in connection
with previously disclosed government inquiries and litigation, as
well as the company's lawsuit against United, and a pretax charge
of $5.8 million relating to the incremental costs associated with
the closure of the Company's Heartland repackaging operations.

Included in special items for the first quarter of 2006 is a
$34.1 million pretax charge for the establishment of a settlement
reserve relating to the inquiry by the federal government and
certain states concerning the substitution of certain generic
drugs by the company.  The 2006 quarter also included a charge of
$7.7 million pretax for restructuring and other related costs
associated primarily with the NeighborCare consolidation plan and
other productivity initiatives, as well as a charge of
$6.1 million pretax, associated with retention payments for
certain NeighborCare employees as required under the acquisition
agreement.

At March 31, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$7.54 billion in total assets, $4.34 billion in total liabilities,
and $3.2 billion in total stockholders' equity.

POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY: Moody's Withdraws $85.3MM Bond's B1 Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew its B1 rating assigned to
Polytechnic University's about $85.3 million of Series 2000 Bonds
issued by the New York City Industrial Development Agency.  

The rating has been withdrawn due to the defeasance of all Series
2000 Civic Facility Revenue Bonds through the issuance of
refunding bonds.  Polytechnic no longer has any debt with a
Moody's underlying rating.


PORTRAIT CORP: Insurers Balks at Joint Second Amended Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Continental Casualty Company, Transportation Insurance Company and
Transcontinental Insurance Company and their American affiliated
insurance companies objected to the Portrait Corporation of
America Inc. and its debtor-affiliates' Second Amended Joint
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.  The insurers claim that the
Plan doesn't contain sufficiently specific information about their
claims and releases.

Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company and its affiliates insurance
companies also objected to the Plan.

As previously reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has set a
hearing today, July 11, 2007, to consider confirmation of the
Debtors' Plan.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 12, 2007, the
Debtors sold substantially all of its operating assets to Consumer
Programs Inc.

A sale motion and asset-purchase agreement indicated that the
buyer of the company's assets would be assuming all workers
compensation liabilities, but doesn't contain specifics concerning
how this is to be done.

Also on June 4, 2007, the Court approved the Debtors' Supplement
to Debtors' Disclosure Statement Relating to Second Amended Joint
Plan Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Neither the
Supplement nor the Plan clarifies how the Debtors and CPI
anticipate the resolution and satisfaction of amounts due and
owing to CNA on account of the Insurance Agreements.  Nor do the
Plan and Supplement clarify claims handling responsibility under
the Insurance Agreements.

In light of the language of the Sale Order and the Plan, the
treatment of workers' compensation claims and the handling of
those claims is unclear.  Pursuant to the Purchase and
Sale Agreement, CPI agreed to assume all of the Debtors' workers
compensation liabilities.  CPI did not, however, assume the
Insurance Agreements.

The Sale and Purchase Agreement, Sale Order and Plan are unclear
as to the ultimate disposition of the Debtors' liability for
workers' compensation claims.  Although the Debtors purport to
assign their workers compensation liabilities to CPI, none of the
referenced documents provide relief to the Debtors from the
preexisting liabilities.  Further, none of the documents resolve
issues regarding the handling of claims that would be otherwise
covered by CNA pursuant to the Insurance Agreements.  Lastly, the
Plan, the Sale Order and Sale and Purchase Agreement fail to
provide any guidance as to CAN or Kemper's remaining obligations
under the Insurance Agreements.  However, to the extent the Plan
purports to modify the terms of the Insurance Agreements, such
modification is inappropriate and cannot be approved.

Klestadt & Winters, LLP, and Wildman, Harrold, Allen & Dixon LLP,
represent the insurers.

QUEBECOR MEDIA: Plans to Offer $750 Million of Senior Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Quebecor Media Inc. intends to offer approximately $750 million of
its senior notes, subject to market and other conditions.  The
senior notes are expected to be issued in two tranches maturing in
2015 and in 2018.

Quebecor Media intends to use the net proceeds of this issuance of
senior notes to fund its offer to acquire Osprey Media Income
Fund, the proposed acquisition of all of the common shares of
Nurun Inc. not currently held by Quebecor Media and a payment to
The Carlyle Group in respect of an existing obligation, well as
for general corporate purposes.

In the event that Quebecor Media's offer to acquire Osprey Media
or the Nurun common shares is withdrawn or terminated, Quebecor
Media intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes,
which may include acquisitions, capital expenditures and the
voluntary repayment of existing indebtedness.

Quebecor Media Inc., a subsidiary of Mortsel, Belgium-based,
Quebecor Inc. -- http://www.quebecor.com/, owns operating  
companies in numerous media-related businesses: Videotron Ltd.,
a cable operator in Quebec and a major Internet Service Provider
and provider of telephone and business telecommunications
services; Sun Media Corporation, Canada's chain of tabloids and
community newspapers; TVA Group Inc., operator of French-language
general-interest television network in Quebec, a number of
specialty channels, and the English-language general-interest

QUEBECOR MEDIA: Moody's Rates New $750 Million Notes at B2
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service rated Quebecor Media Inc.'s new
$750 million senior unsecured note issue B2, to be issued in two
tranches.

At the same time, QMI's Ba3 corporate family rating and stable
ratings outlook were affirmed.  As well, the notes issue adjusts
QMI's waterfall of debts, necessitating ratings and loss given
default assessment upgrades on certain existing instruments.  The
rating actions were prompted by the July 9th announcement of the
new note issue.  

This followed two prior announcements:

   i. On July 5, 2007 QMI announced an agreement to acquire Osprey
      Media Income Fund, a publicly traded publisher of community  
      newspapers and magazines for an aggregate purchase price of
      about CND$577 million, including assumed debt of
      CND$161 million;

  ii. On June 1, 2007, QMI announced its intention to acquire all
      of the outstanding common shares of Nurun Inc, a publicly
      traded company providing new media consulting services for
      aggregate cash consideration of about CND$68 million.

Should the two acquisition transactions close, it being noted they
are both subject to standard closing conditions, the transactions
will consume about CND$645 million of the proceeds of the new note
issue. Should they not close, QMI has indicated that the proceeds
will be used to fund capital expenditures or for other as yet
unspecified acquisition opportunities or to repay existing debt.

The remaining balance of proceeds is to be used to pay external
obligations and pay expenses.  The prospective Osprey and Nurun
transactions do not, individually or in the aggregate, impact
QMI's expected credit protection measures sufficiently to warrant
rating changes.  With the other uses of the new financing, either
paying existing third party obligations or refinancing existing
indebtedness, also being essentially neutral to credit protection
measures, the proposed financing is also assessed as having
negligible ratings impact, allowing QMI's CFR and outlook to be
affirmed.

Assignments:

Issuer: Quebecor Media, Inc.

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned a range of
    87 - LGD5 to B2

Upgrades:

Issuer: Quebecor Media, Inc.

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (unchanged at B1), LGD:
    Upgraded to 67 - LGD4 from 79 - LGD5

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture (unchanged at B2),
    LGD: Upgraded to 87 - LGD5 from 92 - LGD6

Issuer: Sun Media Corporation

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (unchanged at Baa3), LGD:
    Upgraded to 04 - LGD1 from 07 - LGD1

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Upgraded to Ba1 range
    of 26 - LGD2 from Ba2 range of 37 - LGD3

Issuer: Videotron Ltee

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Upgraded to Ba1 range
    of 26 - LGD2 from Ba2 range 37 - LGD3

Other important rating influences include expectations of
continued top-line and cash flow growth resulting from robust
activity at QMI's cable subsidiary Videotron Ltd.  In turn, this
results from the successful bundled deployment of its cable
telephony product, and is expected to be the key driver behind
improved cash generation over the next several quarters,
subsequently, saturation will cause growth to return to more
normal levels.  

In addition, capital expenditures on new printing presses at QMI's
Sun Media Corporation newspaper subsidiary are largely complete.
The related cash drain should be replaced by margin gains as cost
savings from more efficient presses are internalized.  It is also
noted that QMI's consolidated operations are strengthened by the
diversity contributed by its smaller entertainment, broadcasting
and internet portal operations, particularly TVA Inc, the largest
French broadcaster in North America.

There are several factors that provide offsetting influences, the
first of which is the company's desire to grow more quickly than
organic expansion will facilitate.  The Osprey and Nurun
transactions are manifestations of this.  In addition, QMI has
indicated that it wants to be a consolidator in the newspaper
segment and has discussed being a potential bidder in the pending
Canadian radio spectrum auction.  Should the company be a
successful bidder, even should the CRTC mandate things such as
incumbent tower sharing and roaming so as to provide new entrants
with the best possible opportunity for success, it is likely that
significant cash flow will be required to be allocated for several
years in order to build a credible business.

In addition, Videotron has ongoing network capital expenditure
requirements and income tax is expected to provide meaningful
leakage within two years.  Lastly, QMI has shareholders that
expect cash returns, and it is expected that cash dividends will
be declared should cash flow be available.  The aggregate of the
uncertainties provided by these influences offsets the positive
momentum provided by Videotron's results and causes the ratings
outlook to remain stable.

Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Quebecor Media Inc. is a
privately held leading Canadian media holding company.  Through
its operating companies, QMI has activities in cable distribution,
business, residential and mobile wireless telecommunications,
newspaper publishing, television broadcasting, book, magazine and
video retailing, publishing and distribution, music recording,
production and distribution and new media services.  

QMI is 54.7% owned by Quebecor Inc, a publicly traded
communications holding company, and 45.3% owned by Capital CDPQ.  
Quebecor Inc.'s primary assets are its interests in Quebecor Media
and in Quebecor World, one of the world's largest commercial
printers (B2 Negative).  Capital CDPQ is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Caisse de dep"t et placement du Quebec, Canada's largest
pension fund manager, with about $237 billion in assets under
management.  None of Quebecor Inc., Quebecor World or Capital CDPQ
is an obligor or a guarantor of QMI's debt obligations.


QUEBECOR MEDIA: S&P Rates Proposed $750 Million Senior Notes at B
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' debt rating to
Montreal, Quebec-based Quebecor Media Inc.'s proposed $750 million
senior unsecured notes due 2015 and 2018.  The notes are rated two
notches below the 'BB-' long-term corporate credit rating,
reflecting their junior position in the company's capital
structure with debt at wholly owned subsidiaries, Videotron Ltee
and Sun Media Corp. (both companies rated BB-/Stable/--), ranking
ahead of the proposed notes.  The ratings and outlook on all
companies are unchanged.
     
"We largely expect proceeds from the notes to be used to fund the
proposed Osprey Media Income Fund acquisition," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Lori Harris.  Quebecor Media recently
increased its cash offer for Osprey Media, a leading publisher of
newspapers, magazines, and specialty publications in Ontario, to
CDN $8.45 per unit, which represents an equity value of CDN $414
million and a total purchase price of C$576 million inclusive of
debt assumption.
     
"Although the proposed transaction is part of a competitive
bidding process, should Quebecor Media acquire Osprey, we would
expect the acquisition to be financed with debt, which will result
in weaker credit protection measures on a pro forma basis," Ms
Harris added.  Still, credit measures should remain in line with
the rating category following the transaction, which is expected
to close in the next couple of months upon unit holder and
regulatory approvals.
     
With Osprey's 20 daily and 34 nondaily community newspapers, the
proposed acquisition will strengthen the company's Sun Media
newspaper market position, which currently consists of eight paid
urban dailies, seven free commuter dailies, and 196 community
newspapers and specialty publications.  Although Osprey
participates in the challenging newspaper industry, it is somewhat
insulated against economic factors as its revenue base is derived
from the community newspaper segment.  The addition of Osprey also
provides Sun Media with a significant presence in the Ontario
newspaper market.  S&P expect Osprey's profitability to improve
through synergies with Sun Media, primarily in the areas of
printing, distribution, and procurement.
     
The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that
Quebecor Media's operating assets will maintain their solid market
positions, that credit measures will be in line with the ratings
in the medium term, and that the company will successfully manage
the integration of Osprey.  S&P could revise the outlook to
positive or raise the ratings if Quebecor Media improves its
financial risk profile and is able to sustain better operating
performance and stronger credit measures.  Alternatively, the
outlook could be revised to negative if the company fails to meet
expectations, resulting in the weakening of Quebecor Media's
operating performance and credit measures.


RAG SHOPS: Gets Court Nod to Sell Substantially All Assets
----------------------------------------------------------
Rag Shops, Inc. and its debtor-affiliates obtained permission from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York to
conduct a sale of substantially all of its assets through a Court-
approved auction.

The Debtors, their financial advisors and its Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors believe that an expedited sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets is absolutely necessary
to preserve value for the Debtors' estates and creditors.  The
Debtors projected that, even with debtor-in-possession financing
they have obtained from Wells Fargo Retail Finance LLC, the
Debtors will not have sufficient liquidity to continue operations
past the end of June 2007.

The Debtors argued that without additional financing, they will
cease operations and the value of their assets will plummet.
Accordingly, under these circumstances the immediate sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets is necessary and
appropriate.  The Debtors believe that Wells Fargo and the
Committee both support the asset sale.

Since the Debtors' bankruptcy filing, Duff & Phelps Securities
LLC, the Debtors' financial advisor, has continued to actively
market the Debtors' business as a going concern, in addition to
exploring the orderly sale of the Debtors' assets.  To
that end, DPS engaged in extensive negotiations with two
purchasers interested in liquidating the Debtors' inventory, and
furniture, fixtures and equipment through the conduct of "going
out of business" sales at the Debtors' stores and in purchasing
the designation rights for the Debtors' real property leases.

Despite the high number of interested parties, the Debtors were
unable to locate an acceptable stalking horse bidder.  The Debtors
believed this is a result of the Debtors' determination not to
offer a break-up fee or substantial "bid protections."

Accordingly, the Court:

   1) established certain competitive bidding procedures in
      connection with the sale of its assets;

   2) approved the Debtors' entry into an expense reimbursement
      arrangement with any stalking horse bidder;

   3) approved the asset purchase agreement and agency and license
      agreement forms; and

   4) scheduled an auction and sale hearing.

Although the Debtors will continue to market their business to
strategic partners and investors in an effort to sell their
business as a going concern, based on the response to the
marketing efforts to date, the Debtors' sale of its assets is
expected to take the form of a two-part transaction:

   (a) the sale of the Debtors' inventory, furniture, fixtures and
       equipment together with the right to conduct GOB Sales at
       the Debtors' stores; and

   (b) the sale of designation rights of the Debtors' real
       property leases.

The Court further ordered that the proceeds from the sale in the
amount of $1,300,000 will be reserved in a segregated account in
the name of the Debtors at Wells Fargo to be used solely to pay
allowed fees and expenses covered by the carve-out, and that the
sale proceeds in the amount of $100,000 be reserved in a
segregated account at Wells Fargo to be used solely to pay the
joint venture's expense reimbursement.

REALOGY CORP: Closes Change of Control Offer for $1.2 Bil. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Realogy Corporation has closed its change of control offer for any
and all of its outstanding:

   a) $250,000,000 principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes
      due 2009;
   
   b) $450,000,000 principal amount of 6.15% Senior Notes due
      2011; and

   c) $500,000,000 principal amount of 6.50% Senior Notes due
      2016.

As required by the Notes and the indenture governing the Notes,
the purchase price with respect to each series of Notes equaled
100% of the principal amount of such series of Notes, plus accrued
interest payable with respect to such series of Notes to July 9,
2007.

Based upon final results from the depositary for the tender offer,
of the $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding, Realogy purchased approximately $1 billion,
consisting of approximately $230,000,000 principal amount of
Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2009, $324,245,000 of the principal
amount of 6.15% Senior Notes due 2011 and $448,500,000 of the
principal amount of 6.50% Senior Notes due 2016.

Realogy effected payment of the validly tendered Notes on July 9,
2007 by depositing immediately available funds with the
depositary, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which in turn
is required to transmit payment to tendering holders of Notes.

To finance the purchase of the Notes, Realogy utilized a portion
of the delayed draw term loan subfacility under the senior secured
credit facility it established in April 2007.

The change of control offer was made pursuant to Realogy's
obligations under the indenture governing the Notes, which
requires Realogy to make an offer to purchase the Notes after a
"change of control triggering event."

A "change of control triggering event" occurred on April 10, 2007
as a result of (i) the "change of control" that resulted on that
date from the consummation of Realogy's merger with an affiliate
of Apollo Management L.P. and (ii) the lowering of the ratings for
the Notes to below investment grade by both Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Rating Services in March 2007.

RONCO CORP: Former CEO Charges SMH with Lack of Due Diligence
-------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Allen, Sr., former chief executive officer and president
of Ronco Corp., in documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Central District of California, alleges that Sanders
Morris Harris Inc., a Houston investment bank and Ronco
stockholder, appointed current CEO John Reiland in May through its
"control" of Ronco's board of directors, "to do damage control"
and "to cover up SMH's lack of due diligence and insulate it from
lawsuits," Patrick Fitzgerald of the Associated Press reports.

According to AP, Mr. Allen specifically charges that SMH didn't
review Ronco's financial situation before arranging for a group of
investors in 2005 to buy the company from founder Ron Pompeil.

Additionally, Mr. Allen recounts that SMH failed to inform
investors that Ronco had just $250,000 in cash at the time the
deal was completed, AP relates.

Mr. Allen, AP says, has been battling the current executives of
the company since before the company's bankruptcy filing, alleging
fraudulent billing, wasteful spending and insider dealings.

On Feb. 9, 2007, Mr. Allen filed a wrongful termination suit
against SMH contending that he was terminated without "cause"
pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement dated June 30,
2005.  Mr. Allen's complaint also included allegations of
intentional interference with his employment agreement with the
company.

Mr. Allen served as CEO and President of the company from July
2005 until termination of his employment by the company in August
2006.  Mr. Allen remains a member of the company's Board of
Directors.

SEA CONTAINERS: Provides Update on FSD Warning from U.K. Regulator
------------------------------------------------------------------
In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Sea Containers Ltd. discloses that on June 15, 2007
the Determinations Panel of the United Kingdom government Pensions
Regulator determined to issue financial support directions to SCL
in respect of SCL's 1983 and 1990 Pension Schemes.

"Our anti-avoidance powers are significant and, as we have always
stressed, we will use them proportionately and where reasonable.
In this case, we concluded that the issue of a Financial Support
Direction was appropriate and justified," Pension Regulator Chief
Executive Tony Hobman said in a press release.

As previously disclosed, the Pensions Regulator issued notices
to SCL on October 19, 2006, warning that it is considering
exercising its powers to issue FSDs to the company under relevant
UK pensions legislation, in respect of the Sea Containers 1983
Pension Scheme and the Sea Containers 1990 Pension Scheme.  These
are multi-employer defined benefit pension plans of Sea Containers
Services Ltd., a UK subsidiary of the company.

The company responded briefly to the original warning notices,
submitting that it would not be reasonable to issue FSDs, and
actively engaged with the Pensions Regulator to persuade it of
this.  However, the Pensions Regulator reissued the warning notice
on April 26, 2007.  A response was submitted that it would not be
reasonable under the circumstances for the Pensions Regulator to
issue FSDs.

SCL President and Chief Executive Officer Robert MacKenzie relates
that the FSDs will be issued on July 13, 2007 unless the Company
appeals the determinations, which it is currently considering.

The FSDs will require the company to put in place financial
arrangements whereby it is liable for the part of the pension
scheme deficit which relates to Sea Containers Services Limited.
In the case of the 1983 Scheme, as of June 8, 2006, the estimated
claim was GBP73,600,000 or approximately USD146,900,000.  In the
case of the 1990 Scheme, as of March 31, 2006, the estimated claim
was GBP17,600,000 or approximately USD35,100,000.

Any financial arrangements put in place will need the approval of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  The arrangements will not give the
Schemes a priority claim at the level of the company but will in
fact be claims ranked pari passu with other unsecured creditors of
the Company.

The Determination Notices, dated June 15, 2007, for the Schemes
and the Reasons of the Determinations Panel of the Pensions
Regulator in relation to the Notices, dated June 25, 2007, may be
found on the Pensions Regulator's Web site at  
http://www.thepensionregulator.gov.uk/

SCL stated in a press statement that it has always been its
expectation that any restructuring plan of reorganization proposed
under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection process would be
subject to the Pensions Regulator's Clearance procedure, but the
Company is nevertheless disappointed in the outcome of the
hearing.

SEQUA CORP: Carlyle Group Agreement Cues Moody's to Review Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service reviews the ratings of Sequa Corporation
for possible downgrade in response to the announcement that the
Carlyle Group entered into an agreement to purchase the publicly
traded company for about $2.7 billion or $175 per share.

The company announced that the acquisition will be financed
through a combination of equity and external debt provided by
Carlyle.  Sequa has a Corporate Family Rating of B1.

Moody's review will focus on the impact the proposed transaction
will have on the entity's future capital structure, financial
strategy and credit metrics.  The review will also assess the
degree to which the company's operating strategy will be able to
sustain earnings, cash flow generation and liquidity to support
the new capital structure, which may be comprised of significantly
more debt.  The current debt is primarily composed of senior
unsecured notes, $498 million 9% due 2009 and $199 million 8.875%
due April 2008.  

The notes' indentures provide a put option to holders in the event
of a change in control.  If these bonds are redeemed in their
entirety, Moody's will withdraw all ratings at the close of the
transaction, expected in the fourth quarter.  The company also has
a small unrated bank credit facility held by certain foreign
subsidiaries consisting of a term loan and letter of credit
facility due 2010.

Sequa Corporation, headquartered in New York, NY, is a diversified
industrial company.  Its operations manufacture and repair jet
engine components, perform metal coating, produce automotive
airbag inflators, chemical detergent additives, auxiliary printing
press equipment, emissions control systems, men's formalwear, and
automotive cigarette lighters and power outlets.


SERVICEMASTER CO: Fitch Downgrades Issuer Default Rating to B
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has removed The ServiceMaster Company's ratings from
Rating Watch Negative and has downgraded the Issuer Default Rating
and senior unsecured rating to 'B' from 'BB-'.  At the same time,
Fitch withdraws these ratings:

    -- Issuer Default Rating 'B';
    -- Unsecured bank facility 'BB-';
    -- Senior unsecured 'B'.

Fitch had indicated in its press release dated March 19, 2007 that
pro forma credit metrics were reflective of a 'B' or 'B-' IDR.  
Also, Fitch notes that under the proposed structure the unsecured
ratings would likely be rated in the 'CCC' category.

Fitch believes that the credit profile could face further pressure
as financing costs could be higher than initial pro forma
estimates.  Also, even a modest cyclical downturn could negatively
affect the company's capacity to service its obligations.

Fitch will no longer provide rating coverage for ServiceMaster.

SILVERTON CASINO: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at B
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Silverton Casino LLC.  The rating outlook is
stable.
     
Concurrently, Standard & Poor's assigned its issue-level and
recovery ratings to the planned $215 million second mortgage notes
due 2015, to be issued jointly by affiliates Silverton Casino LLC,
Majestic Nevada Property Holdings LLC, and Silverton Finance Corp.  
The notes were rated 'B-' with a recovery rating of '5',
indicating the expectation for modest (10%-30%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.
      
Net proceeds from the $515 million of debt financing, including
the expected $300 million senior secured credit facility, together
with a $23.5 million cash equity contribution and $20 million in
free cash flow, will principally be used to fund $485 million in
costs related to the expansion of the Silverton Hotel & Casino.  
Proceeds will also be used to repay approximately $56 million of
existing debt that is currently held by an affiliated entity,
Majestic Nevada Inc.  Pro forma for the transaction, the company
will have $495 million in total consolidated debt outstanding.

Silverton Casino owns and operates the Silverton Hotel & Casino in
Las Vegas.
     
"The 'B' rating reflects the challenges associated with the
company's strategy of attracting a more upscale base of visitors,
the highly competitive nature of the Las Vegas market, the
company's reliance on a single property, and modest construction
risks," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Guido DeAscanis III.
     
These factors are partially offset by the property's location in a
fast-growing part of the Las Vegas Valley, the unique relationship
with Bass Pro Shops as a tenant, adequate liquidity, and the
financial support of Edward Roski.

STILLWATER MINING: Unions Calls For Strike Today
------------------------------------------------
Stillwater Mining Company was informed that union employees at the
company's Stillwater Mine and Columbus processing facilities,
represented by the USW International Union Local 11-0001, failed
to ratify the new labor agreement reached on July 2, 2007.  As a
result, the Union has called for a strike to begin upon expiration
of the current labor agreement at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday,
July 11, 2007.  In the meantime, production and processing
operations at both facilities are continuing.

Commenting on the outcome of the vote, Stillwater's chairman and
chief executive officer, Frank McAllister, said, "Clearly, we are
disappointed that the new contract was not ratified. A strike will
be economically painful, not only for the company, but for our
employees, their families and the local communities, as well.  We
intend to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible and
are hopeful that an acceptable agreement can be reached."

STRUCTURED ASSET: Fitch Downgrades Ratings on Two Cert. Classes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch has taken rating actions on these Structured Asset
Investment Loan mortgage pass-through certificates, Series 2006-4:

    -- Class A affirmed at 'AAA';
    -- Class M1 affirmed at 'AA';
    -- Class M2 affirmed at 'AA-';
    -- Class M3 affirmed at 'A+';
    -- Class M4 affirmed at 'A';
    -- Class M5 affirmed at 'A-';
    -- Class M6 affirmed at 'BBB+';
    -- Class M7 affirmed at 'BBB';
    -- Class M8 affirmed at 'BBB-';
    -- Class B1 downgraded to 'BB' from 'BB+';
    -- Class B2 downgraded to 'B+' from 'BB'.

The collateral in the aforementioned transaction consists
primarily of conventional, adjustable- and fixed-rated, fully
amortizing and balloon mortgage loans secured by first and second
liens on the residential properties.  The collateral was primarily
originated by BNC Mortgage, Inc, but was also originated by
various other lenders.  The master servicer for all transactions
is Aurora Loan Services, Inc., which is rated 'RMS1-' by Fitch.

The affirmations reflect a stable relationship between credit
enhancement and future expected losses, and affect approximately
$1.8 billion in outstanding certificates.  The downgrades reflect
deterioration in the relationship between CE and future expected
losses, and affect approximately $29.3 million in outstanding
certificates.

The trust has experienced high losses thus far (0.37%) due to the
second lien loans being liquidated at high loss severities.  The
pool factor is 75%, and the transaction is 12 months seasoned.  
The collateral in the 60+ delinquency category is approximately
17.44%. Overcollateralization is currently at target.

The affirmations reflect adequate relationships of credit
enhancement to future loss expectations and affect approximately
$327 million of outstanding certificates.  CE is in the form of
subordination, overcollateralization and excess spread.  The
negative rating actions, affecting approximately $111.1 million of
outstanding certificates, reflect deterioration in the
relationship between CE and expected losses.

Approximately 11.31% of the pool for series 2006-ARS1 is more than
60 days delinquent.  The OC amount is currently $5,954,369, or
roughly $11 million below its target amount.  At 12 months since
the first distribution date, the OC is currently equal to 2.54% of
the original collateral balance, as compared to a target level of
7.65% of the original collateral balance.  In four of the past 6
months, the excess spread has not been sufficient to cover the
monthly losses incurred and as a result, OC has further
deteriorated.  Cumulative losses as a percent of the original
collateral balance are 7.98%.

For series 2006-S1, approximately 6.19% of the pool is more than
60 days delinquent.  This series was structured to have growing
OC. Because of the faster-than-expected prepayments and earlier-
than-expected collateral losses, the OC did not reach the initial
target amount of $19.2 million.  In five of the past 6 months, the
excess spread has not been sufficient to cover the monthly losses
incurred.  Cumulative losses as a percent of the original
collateral balance are 3.70%.

The transactions are twelve and sixteen months seasoned,
respectively.  The pool factors are approximately 71% and 58%,
respectively.

The mortgage pools consist of conventional, fixed rate, fully-
amortizing and balloon, second lien residential mortgage loans.  
The mortgage loans were acquired by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
from various banks and other mortgage lending institutions and are
master serviced by Aurora Loan Services, Inc., which is rated
'RMS1-' by Fitch.

VERTICAL CRE: Fitch Affirms BB- Rating on $4 Million Class H Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirms eight classes of floating-rate notes issued
by Vertical CRE CDO 2006-1, Ltd. and Vertical CRE CDO 2006-1,
Corp.  These rating actions are effective immediately:

    -- $214,000,000 Class A affirmed at 'AAA';
    -- $29,000,000 Class B affirmed at 'AA';
    -- $10,000,000 Class C affirmed at 'A';
    -- $4,000,000 Class D affirmed at 'A-';
    -- $12,000,000 Class E affirmed at 'BBB';
    -- $5,000,000 Class F affirmed at 'BBB-';
    -- $10,500,000 Class G affirmed at 'BB';
    -- $4,000,000 Class H affirmed at 'BB-'.

Vertical CRE CDO 2006-1 is a revolving collateralized debt
obligation that closed May 24, 2006 and is managed by Vertical
Capital LLC, which is rated 'CAM2' by Fitch.  The portfolio is
currently composed of commercial mortgage-backed securities
(70.1%), commercial real estate CDOs (19.1%), commercial real
estate loans (9.8%), and bank loans to real estate operating
companies (1.0%).  Vertical CRE CDO 2006-1 will end its
reinvestment period in April 2011.

The affirmations are the result of stable portfolio performance
measures, such as overcollateralization ratios and weighted
average rating factor.  As of the most recent trustee report dated
May 16, 2007 all overcollateralization and interest coverage
ratios have remained stable and continue to pass their covenants.  
The current WARF on the collateral has improved to 6.93
('BBB'/'BBB-'). The collateral has a maximum Fitch WARF of 8.50
('BB+').  There have been no defaulted or distressed securities in
the portfolio, to date.  Fitch will continue to monitor this
transaction as the CDO is currently in its revolving period in
which new collateral may be purchased to replace existing
collateral, subject to re-investment criteria.

The ratings of the class A and B notes address the likelihood that
investors will receive full and timely payments of interest, as
per the governing documents, as well as the stated balance of
principal by the legal final maturity date.  The ratings of the
class C, D, E, F, G and H notes address the likelihood that
investors will receive ultimate and compensating interest
payments, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date.

'RMS2+' by Fitch).

                        About Wireless Age

Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Wireless Age
Communications Inc. (OTC BB: WLSA.OB) -
http://www.thewirelessage.com/-- through its 99.7% owned
subsidiary, Wireless Age Communications Ltd., is in the business
of operating retail cellular and telecommunications outlets in
cities in western Canada.  The company, through its other wholly
owned subsidiary Wireless Source Distribution Ltd., is in the
business of distributing two-way radio products, prepaid phone
cards, wireless accessories and various battery and ancillary
electronics products in Canada.

At March 31, 2007, the company's balance sheet showed $6,890,269
in total assets and $10,084,271 in total liabilities, resulting in
a $3,194,002 total stockholders' deficit.

                       Going Concern Doubt

Mintz & Partners LLP, in Toronto, Canada, expressed substantial
doubt about Wireless Age Communications Inc.'s ability to continue
as a going concern after auditing the company's balance sheet at
Dec. 31, 2006, and 2005.  The auditing firm pointed to the
company's recurring losses from operations, and working capital
and stockholders' deficits at Dec. 31, 2006.


WIRELESS AGE: Posts $7.4 Million Revenues in Quarter Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wireless Age Communications Inc. reported that revenues from
continuing operations for the second quarter 2007 were about
$7.4 million.

Year to date continuing operations revenues as of June 30, 2007
totaled about $13.4 million representing an increase of 23% over
the prior year.  Second quarter continuing operations revenues
increased 26% year over year.

The company will record a non-cash special accounting charge to
income from the Newlook Industries Corp. settlement, in the order
of $2 million, very similar in nature to the charge recorded for
not achieving the earnings per share covenant during fiscal 2006.  
On June 29, 2007, Wireless Age and Newlook mutually agreed to a
settlement and release whereby Wireless Age issued 26,638,267
restricted common shares to Newlook on these basis:

  -- 16,771,600 restricted common shares in exchange for the
     4,192,900 series A preferred shares;

  -- 6,666,667 restricted common shares of in exchange for:
     (i) the A warrants to purchase 5,000,000 common shares; and
     (ii) the B warrants to purchase 5,000,000 common shares;

  -- 3,200,000 restricted common shares in settlement of
     Liquidated damages arising from the composition of Wireless
     Age's board.

The company believes that the 2007 operating performance targets
were unlikely to be met.  The effect of this was that the series A
preferred shares would convert into 16,771,600 common shares.

The exercise price of the A and B warrants dropped from $0.125 to
$0.0625 per share and from $0.25 to $0.125 per share,
respectively.  The company valued the A and B warrants, at the
lower exercise prices, using a Black Scholes valuation model and
agreed to issue restricted shares at current market prices in the
amount of the valuation.

The board composition breach provided that Newlook would receive
cash or preferred stock, at their option.   Since Feb. 4, 2007,
the board of directors did not consist of a majority of
independent directors.  The dollar amount of preferred stock
issuable was $112,000, which was currently convertible into common
at $0.07 per share, or 1,600,000 common shares.  By agreeing the
Company was unlikely to achieve the fiscal 2007 operating
performance covenant the conversion rate dropped to $0.035 per and
3,200,0000 common shares were issuable.

Due to the formal bankruptcy of mmwave prior to June 30th, the
company will record a gain from "disposal" of the bankrupt entity.
The company believes that the disposal gain will exceed the amount
of the non-cash special charge resulting in a net gain for the
quarter.  This in addition to a good operating profit should give
the company positive earnings per share for the first half of
fiscal 2007.

Wireless Age chairman and chief executive officer John Simmonds
commented, "The company had a very strong second quarter.
Continuing operations again posted solid results.  There will be,
however, several complicated accounting issues, arising from the
Newlook settlement and the mmwave bankruptcy that will have to be
sorted out prior to the release of our second quarter report.  In
addition, and probably more significantly, Newlook became the
company's controlling shareholder during the quarter.  We believe
that the company and Newlook management will work closely together
to advance the company."

practice has historically had a particular emphasis on complex
bankruptcy cases, commercial workouts, loan restructurings and
defense litigation.

"We are thrilled to have David join our team," said Gus A.
Paloian, chair of Seyfarth Shaw's Bankruptcy, Workouts and
Business Reorganization Practice Group.  "David is a respected
practitioner of all aspects of bankruptcy litigation law, and his
addition to our San Francisco office will enable us to meet the
growth in demand for our services."

The firm's bankruptcy litigation attorneys represent lenders,
trustees, creditors' committees, unsecured creditors and others
with responsibility to implement reorganization or liquidation
plans.  They also represent debtors and distressed companies
seeking to establish and carry out plans that will maximize the
opportunity to successfully resolve financial and operational
concerns.

"The addition of David to our office will help us provide a full
spectrum of San Francisco-based legal services for clients in the
Bay Area and throughout California, including those in need of
bankruptcy counsel and support," said Nick C. Geannacopulos,
Managing Partner of the firm's San Francisco office.  "David is a
welcome addition to our partnership both professionally and
personally."

Mr. Wiseblood earned his B. A. in Economics from the University of
California at Berkeley.  He earned his J. D. from the University
of San Francisco School of Law where he also worked on the
school's Law Review.  Mr. Wiseblood is a member of the State Bar
of California.

"I believe Seyfarth Shaw's core values-including client service,
commitment, innovation and team work-embody the way I practice law
and work with my clients," Wiseblood said.  "I am delighted to
join my new colleagues in the San Francisco office and look
forward to working with my fellow attorneys from offices
throughout the country as we work hard to contribute to our
clients businesses' and interests."

The Meetings, Conferences and Seminars column appears in the
Troubled Company Reporter each Wednesday. Submissions via e-mail
to conferences@bankrupt.com are encouraged.

                             *********

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.
