AIRPORT EXECUTIVE: Creditor Wants Bankruptcy Case Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------------
M.A.M.C. Inc., as servicing agent for a group of lenders through
Berman Mortgage Corporation, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Florida to dismiss Airport Executive
Commerce Park LLC's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, or in the
alternative, relief from automatic stay.

M.A.M.C. tells the Court that the Debtor's bankruptcy case stems
from a foreclosure action on a real property located in Miami-Dade
County, Florida.  M.A.M.C. relates that the Debtor defaulted on
the terms of a first priority mortgage and security agreement and
promissory note.

                        Foreclosure Action

Berman Mortgage, the Debtor's secured creditor, properly notified
the Debtor and, Gustavo Bengochea Jr. as individual guarantor, of
the monetary default and afforded the appropriate time to cure the
default.  However, neither Debtor nor guarantor cured or otherwise
made current the operative note and mortgage.

AS such, M.A.M.C. says, on April 9, 2007, Berman Mortgage filed a
complaint to foreclose on the property.  On April 16, 2007, Debtor
and Berman Mortgage executed a binding settlement agreement with
regards to the foreclosure.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Berman Mortgage filed a
motion for final summary judgment on May 24 2007 and on July 2,
2007, an agreed final judgment of foreclosure was submitted to and
executed by the Circuit Court for Dade County.

The parties had agreed to delay the public sale of the property to
allow the Debtor to finalize a pending refinancing deal.  The
public sale was set for Aug. 22, 2007.  However, on the eve of the
public sale date, the Debtor filed for bankruptcy with the Court,
M.A.M.C. relates.

                    Phoenix Piccadilly Factors

M.A.M.C. discloses that under the settlement agreement, in the
event of a bankruptcy filing, the Debtor agreed to stipulate that
"it is a single asset real estate company that it does not have
the funds to pay interest as required under the notes, and that it
does not have the funds to complete construction and to
reorganize..."  Further, M.A.M.C. relates, the settlement
agreement stipulated that any bankruptcy filing made after
execution of the agreement would constitute as bad faith filing.

M.A.M.C. contends that under the factors enumerated by "In re
Phoenix Piccadilly, Ltd., 849 F.2d 1393, 1394 (11th Cir. Fla.
1988)," to determine if a petition was filed in bad faith, the
Debtor violates all six factors.

Specifically:

    (1) the Debtor has only one asset;

    (2) the Debtor has no significant unsecured creditors and
        M.A.M.C. is the only secured creditor,

    (3) the Debtor has few, if any, employees;

    (4) the single asses is the real property subject to the
        foreclosure action;

    (5) the Debtor's financial problems are entirely based on
        debt, arrearages, and related penalties owed to M.A.M.C.,
        and can be satisfied and made whole with the foreclosure
        sale proceed of the single asset real estate; and

    (6) the Debtor filed its petition on the eve of the
        foreclosure sale evidencing an intent to delay or
        frustrate legitimate efforts of the creditor to enforce
        its rights.

M.A.M.C. is represented by James D. Gassenheimer, Esq., at The
Gassenheimer Law Firm.

AMERICAN TOWER: Inks New $500 Million Senior Unsecured Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
American Tower Corporation said yesterday that it entered into a
new $500.0 million senior unsecured term loan credit facility.

The company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately
$498.5 million from the new term loan and will use approximately
$450.0 million to repay certain existing indebtedness under the
company's continuing senior unsecured revolving credit facility
and the remainder for general corporate purposes.

As a result, the company will have $550.0 million outstanding
under its existing $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit
facility.  The new term loan has a term of five years, maturing in
full on Aug. 30, 2012.  The new term loan does not require
amortization of principal and may be paid prior to maturity in
whole or in part at the company's option without penalty or
premium; provided however, that the new term loan requires its
mandatory prepayment, subject to certain limited exceptions, with
the net proceeds from any future issuances, offerings or
placements of debt obligations or equity securities by the
Company, or by any of the Company's subsidiaries (other than
unrestricted subsidiaries), to unaffiliated third parties.

American Tower Corporation -- http://www.americantower.com/--  
(NYSE: AMT) owns, operates and develops broadcast and wireless
communications sites.  American Tower owns and operates over
22,000 sites in the United States, Mexico and Brazil.
Additionally, American Tower manages approximately 2,000 revenue
producing rooftop and tower sites.


AMERICAN TOWER: Fitch Rates $500 Million Term Loan at BB+
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to American Tower
Corporation's proposed five-year $500 million senior term loan
facility.  Proceeds from the term loan facility will be used to
refinance existing indebtedness under the senior unsecured
revolving credit facility and for other general corporate
purposes.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.

AMT's ratings reflect the scale in its operations, which has
translated into strong operating performance and increased free
cash flow.  AMT's operating characteristics remain favorable,
resulting in some of the highest profitability measures for all of
corporate credits and reflective of the lower business risk that
results in a predictable and growing cash flow stream generated
primarily from investment grade national wireless operators.  
Fitch believes these characteristics more than offset AMT's
sizable share repurchase program and the higher financial leverage
for its rating category.  AMT should continue to meaningfully
improve its operating metrics due to scale benefits and the
expectations for continued wireless industry demand. Fitch expects
the 700 MHz auctions, scheduled to begin in January 2008, will be
an important driver for future revenue growth.  Given the mandates
associated with the spectrum auction, Fitch believes that two new
entrants could acquire a material amount of spectrum for large
scale deployments.

Based on current capital allocation plans, Fitch expects leverage
for 2007 to be 4.5 times (x) or less.  The liquidity position is
solid owing to its free cash flow, cash on hand and undrawn
revolver capacity when including the new facility.  Free cash flow
for the last twelve months was in excess of $500 million. The
sizable $1.5 billion share repurchase program will be funded by
free cash flow, existing cash and debt.  As of July 26, 2007, AMT
had repurchased a total of 16.7 million shares of its class A
common stock for an aggregate of $678.1 million.  AMT expects to
complete the share repurchase program by February 2008.

The new term loan facility will provide AMT with additional
liquidity since the company had drawn approximately $1 billion of
the $1.25 billion as of June 30, 2007, on its senior unsecured
revolving credit facility that matures in 2012.  The financial
covenants for the new term loan facility are similar to the terms
of the existing $1.25 billion revolver, which includes the
following: senior secured leverage ratio of 3.0x, total borrower
leverage ratio of 6.0x and interest coverage ratio of 2.5x.  The
senior secured leverage covenant of 3.0x provides additional
capacity for future tower securitizations.  The new term facility
will also be subject to mandatory prepayment with proceeds from
any capital markets issuance.  Fitch expects any new long-term
debt to be issued by AMT.


AMERIQUEST MORTGAGE: Winds Down; Parent Sells Assets to Citigroup
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ameriquest Mortgage Company has closed, several sources report,
after Citigroup Inc. bought the company from its parent, ACC
Capital Holdings.  

ACC Capital Holdings will maintain operations as it prepares for
the orderly wind-down of its retail mortgage business, which is no
longer accepting applications, relates Gary Gentile of the
Associated Press citing a company statement.

Citigroup disclosed that its Markets & Banking business has agreed
to purchase Ameriquest, the wholesale mortgage origination and
mortgage servicing assets from ACC Capital Holdings, in a
transaction which closed on Sept. 1, 2007.  Citigroup secured the
option to acquire the assets in February 2007 as part of its
agreement to provide working capital to ACH and become ACHs
primary warehouse lender.  

The acquisition, which was finalized late afternoon of Aug. 31,
2007, will include the purchase of servicing rights on $45 billion
of loans, as well as a minimal amount of existing loans and
residuals.  The financial terms of the transaction were not
disclosed.

"Exercising our option to acquire the assets from ACH's wholesale
origination and servicing business allows Citigroup to secure
valuable and scalable platforms in a market undergoing significant
change," Jeffrey A. Perlowitz, Head of Global Securitized Markets
in Citigroup's Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities unit,
where the assets will reside, said.  "Through this acquisition, we
gain important operational and pricing efficiencies and the
ability to extend the high lending standards of our existing
residential mortgage business from point of origination through
securitization and servicing."

Citigroup will apply its industry-leading best practices in real
estate lending to loan products originated from the newly acquired
platform and expand its ongoing effort to help distressed
borrowers.

The assets being acquired by Citigroup are part of the wholesale
origination and servicing businesses of ACH with operational
centers in Orange and Rancho Cucamonga, California, and Rolling
Meadows and Schaumberg, Illinois, as well as a broker network
extending across 48 States.

Subprime lenders, serving borrowers who do not qualify for prime
loans because of credit problems or a limited credit history, have
been rocked lately due to a softening of the investment climate
for these loans, various papers said.

In May 2006, Ameriquest shuttered all 229 retail branches and cut
3,800 jobs, becoming the first major subprime lender to downsize
in the current housing cycle, papers disclosed.

BOSTON SCIENTIFIC: Court OKs Johnson & Johnson's Breach Claim
-------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch in Manhattan allowed a
breach-of-contract claim by Johnson & Johnson to proceed but
dismissed others in a $5.5 billion lawsuit Johnson & Johnson
filed against Boston Scientific Corp., The Wall Street
Journal said on its Web site Thursday last week.

The breach-of-contract claim relates to Guidant's termination
of a merger agreement with Johnson & Johnson to give way to
a $27 billion acquisition deal with Boston Scientific last
year, the report said.

The dismissed claims, according to WSJ, include claims alleging
that Boston Scientific and Guidant violated an implied duty of
good faith and fair dealing in the Guidant-Johnson & Johnson
merger deal.

In denying the claim, Judge Lynch said in an order quoted by
WSJ that there is no basis under Indiana law for a claim of
violation of such a duty, noting that the contract is governed
by Indiana law while Guidant was based in Indianapolis.

Boston Scientific closed on its deal to purchase the bulk of
Guidant in April 2006.  In September 2006, WSJ said Johnson &
Johnson balked at the deal alleging that Boston Scientific
succeeded in its takeover bid for Guidant only because Guidant
leaked confidential information to Abbott Laboratories Inc.
for the purpose of "arranging a prepackaged divestiture of
significant Guidant businesses to Abbott."

Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, Boston Scientific
Corporation (NYSE: BSX) -- http://www.bostonscientific.com/--      
develops, manufactures and markets medical devices used in a
broad range of interventional medical specialties.  The company
has offices in Argentina, Chile, France, Germany, and Japan,
among others.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 28, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on Boston
Scientific Corp., including the 'BB+' corporate credit rating,
remain on CreditWatch with negative implications, where they were
placed Aug. 3, 2007.  

Earlier, Fitch Ratings downgraded the rating on the company's
'BBB-' Senior Unsecured Notes to 'BB+'.  The Outlook is Negative.

BRIDGETECH HOLDINGS: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $7 Mil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bridgetech Holdings International Inc.'s consolidated balance
sheet at June 30, 2007, showed $1.5 million in total assets and
$8.5 million in total liabilities, resulting in a $7.0 million  
total stockholders' deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $997,027 in total current assets
available to pay $8.5 million in total current liabilities.

The company incurred a net loss of $9.6 million in the six months
ended June 30 this year, an increase from the net loss of
$6.5 million reported in the same period last year, mainly due to
lower revenues and an increase in operating expenses.

Revenues fell to $125,682 from $258,567.  The majority of the
decrease came from a reduction in nurse placement and training
revenues at International Medlink.  

General and administrative costs rose from $5.0 million to
$9.3 million due to an increase in parent company and Asian
overhead costs which increased $3.9 million and $502,803,
respectively.

Interest Expense increased to $161,525 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, from $24,660 reported in the comparable six months

                       Going Concern Doubt

Jewett, Schwartz, Wolfe & Associates, in Hollywood, Fla.,
expressed substantial doubt about Bridgetech Holdings
International Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the company's consolidated financial statements as of the
years ended Dec. 31, 2006, and 2005.  The auditing firm reported
that the company has operating and liquidity concerns, has
incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $17.2 million  
through the period ended Dec. 31, 2006, and current liabilities
exceeded current assets by approximately $2.3 million at Dec. 31,
2006.

CALPINE CORP: Files Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement
---------------------------------------------------------
Calpine Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries filed their
Amended Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York on Aug. 27, 2007.

Through the Amended Plan, Calpine seeks to provide an equitable
return to all stakeholders while providing for the long-term
viability of the company.

The Amended Plan maintains the key terms provided under the
Debtors' Original Plan filed June 2007, but projects greater
recoveries for stakeholders in the most likely claims scenario,
Calpine stated in a press release issued August 27.  The Amended
Plan also remains a "waterfall" plan that allocates value to
Calpine's creditors and shareholders in accordance with the
priorities of the Bankruptcy Code.

"We believe Calpine's Amended Plan further underscores the
progress we are making for Calpine to emerge as a financially
stable, stand-alone Company with an improved competitive position
in the energy industry," said Robert P. May, Calpine's Chief
Executive Officer, according to Calpine's press statement.
"Since filing our Original Plan we have been in discussions with
our stakeholders and believe that our Amended Plan provides
greater value to Calpine's estate with less execution risk to our
stakeholders than other alternatives presented.  We appreciate
the ongoing support of our employees whose dedication and hard
work are key to Calpine's current and future success."

Mr. May said the filing of the Amended Plan helps the company
stay on track to have the plan confirmed during the fourth
quarter of 2007.

                  Substantive Consolidation

According to Gregory L. Doody, Calpine's Executive Vice
President, General Counsel, and Secretary, the Amended Plan
provides for the substantive consolidation of the Estates into a
single estate for all purposes associated with plan confirmation
and consummation.  If the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the Debtors
to substantively consolidate the Estates, he says, each class of
claims and interests will be treated as against a single
consolidated estate without regard to separate identification of
the Debtors.

Mr. Doody adds that if the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the
Debtors to substantively consolidate less than all of the
Estates, the Debtors may, in accordance with the Plan, proceed
with separate Plans for any non-consolidated Debtor, and each
Class of Claims and Interests will be treated as against each
individual non-consolidated Debtor for voting and distribution
purposes.

The number following each Debtor in the Amended Plan has been
assigned to a Debtor to identify each separate Plan to the extent
the Bankruptcy Court does not authorize the Debtors to
substantively consolidate any or all of the Estates, Mr. Doody
says.

            $21.7-Bil. Midpoint Reorganization Value

Consistent with the Original Plan, assuming the Amended Plan is
confirmed by December 31, 2007, and subject to the assumptions
set forth in the Disclosure Statement, Calpine estimates that the
reorganized company will have a midpoint reorganization value of
about $21,700,000,000.

At emergence, Calpine estimates that its total enterprise value
will be between $19,200,000,000 to $21,300,000,000, with a
midpoint of $20,300,000,000.  The company expects a distributable
cash of approximately $1,400,000,000.

Under the Amended Plan, allowed claims are now anticipated to
range from $20,100,000,000 to $22,000,000,000 after completion of
Calpine's claims objection, reconciliation, and resolution
process.

Under that range of potential allowed claims, general unsecured
creditors will receive from 95% to 100% of their allowed claims,
Calpine said.  As a result of the continued refinement of the
company's outstanding claims, it has increased the amount holders
of existing equity are projected to receive under updated "most
likely" claims resolution scenario.

Currently, Calpine estimates that its return would be
approximately $2.05 per existing share of Calpine common stock --
up from $1.80 per existing Calpine share originally projected
under the company's Original Plan.

Because disputed claims and the total enterprise value of Calpine
upon its emergence have not yet been finally adjudicated, no
assurances can be given that actual recoveries to creditors and
interest holders will not be materially higher or lower, Calpine
said in its company statement.

                        Plan Sponsorship

Shortly after filing the Original Plan, certain parties contacted
the Debtors about potentially sponsoring an alternative plan of
reorganization premised on a structure that would provide
guaranteed distributions to the Debtors' stakeholders, Mr. May
relates.

The Debtors, with the assistance of their investment banker,
Miller Buckfire, thus initiated a process to gauge potential
investors' interest in sponsoring such a guaranteed distribution
plan.  To that end, the Debtors distributed requests for
proposals in connection with a guaranteed distribution plan to
potential investors on July 19.

The Debtors state that they did not receive any firm plan
sponsorship proposals executable within the timeframe they have
set to emerge from Chapter 11.

               Restrictions on Securities Resale

Reorganized Calpine Charter will contain the restrictions on the
transfer of New Calpine Common Stock in the same form and
substance as those contained in the New Calpine Trading
Restriction Term Sheet to minimize the likelihood of any
potential adverse federal income tax consequences resulting from
an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code, in Reorganized Calpine.

Pursuant to the New Calpine Trading Restrictions Term Sheet, no
post-emergence tax restrictions on trading will exist.  In the
event that the market capitalization of New Calpine Common Stock
drops by at least 35% from the market capitalization that existed
upon emergence, and at least 25 percentage points of "owner
shift" has occurred with respect to New Calpine Common Stock,
then the board of directors of Reorganized Calpine may vote to
impose trading restrictions.

Mr. Doody states that the decision will require a vote by 2/3 of
the Directors.  If imposed, the trading restrictions will provide
that the acquisition of stock by a person or entity who is not a
5% shareholder of New Calpine Common Stock will be null and void
ab initio as to the purchaser to the extent the acquisition
causes entity to become a 5% shareholder of New Calpine Common
Stock, unless the acquisition has:

  * been approved by the board of directors of Reorganized
    Calpine; or

  * will not result in an increase in an "owner shift" in
    excess of any "owner shift" that would have occurred if the
    seller had sold the same amount of New Calpine Common Stock
    in the market.

                       Incentive Plans

The Reorganized Debtors will implement the Management and
Director Equity Incentive Plan, will shall be deemed effective as
of the Effective Date.

The terms of the Management and Director Equity Incentive Plan
will provide for aggregate grants of New Calpine Common Stock to
certain management, employees, and directors of certain of the
Reorganized Debtors of between 2% to 3% of the New Calpine Common
Stock, inclusive of initial grants and reserves for future grants
to be issued under the Plan.  However, the Creditors Committee's
consent will be obtained in connection with the terms and
conditions of any initial grants of New Calpine Common Stock and
the recipients.

All other terms and conditions of the Incentive Plans will be
determined by the board of directors of Reorganized Calpine.

          BIT Holdings & SJP Comment on Interest Rate

BIT Holdings, 56 Inc., and SJ Plaza, LLC, point out that the
Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement provide that they and other
holders of allowed rejection damage claims against the Debtors
are to receive pro rata share of New Calpine Common Stock Pool
for Creditors until paid in full.  The Plan also proposes that
those holders are entitled to receive interest on their Allowed
Claim at the Federal Judgment Rate.

Representing the objecting parties, Terrence Meyerhoff, Esq., at
Horner & Singer, LLP, in Walnut Creek, California, tells Judge
Lifland that the interest rate allowed in the rejected lease is
10% and the interest under substantive California law is 10%.
Under the Plan, he notes, the "Federal Judgment Rate" is pegged
at 4.34%.

BIT and SJP contend that the Disclosure Statement and Amended
Plan do not explain why the accrued interest rate should be
limited to 4.34% for the Allowed Rejection Damages Claimholders.

CALPINE CORP: Disclosure Statement Hearing Reset to September 25
----------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York on Aug. 27, 2007.

        Disclosure Statement Hearing Reset to Sept. 25

Calpine Corporation and its debtor-affiliates notified the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York and
parties-in-interest that the hearing to rule on their Amended
Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Procedures Motion has been

deadline has also been reset to September 14.

Once the Bankruptcy Court approves their Disclosure Statement,
the Debtors can begin the process of soliciting votes for
approval of the Amended Plan.

Following the voting process, Calpine will ask the Bankruptcy
Court to hold a hearing to consider approval or "confirmation" of
the Amended Plan.  If the Court confirms the Amended Plan,
Calpine would emerge from Chapter 11 shortly thereafter.

"We will continue to keep all our stakeholders informed regarding
our efforts to emerge from Chapter 11 in a manner that maximizes
the Company's value," Mr. May stated in Calpine's recently issued
press release.

The Debtors remain committed to emerge from bankruptcy as soon as
possible and no later than January 31, 2008.

CISTERA NETWORKS: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $800,927
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cistera Network Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet at June 30,
2007, showed $4.3 million in total assets and $5.1 million in
total liabilities, resulting in an $800,927 total stockholders'
deficit.

The company reported a net loss of $460,814 in the first quarter
ended June 30, 2007, an increase from the net loss of $280,843
reported in the same period last year, mainly due to higher sales
and marketing expenses, and increased interest expense.

Revenues rose 27% to $629,224 from $494,737.  

Gross profit rose to $542,922 from $467,000.  The company's  
software revenue results in higher margins than hardware revenue.
Because a substantial portion of the company's revenues are  
derived from software sales, gross margins were positively  
impacted.  

Sales and marketing costs for this quarter totaled $176,092 and
represented 27.9 percent of revenues, as compared to $55,710 and
11.3 percent for the same quarter last year.

Interest expense rose to $158,135 from $17,434 last year.

                       Going Concern Doubt

doubt about Cistera Networks Inc.'s ability to continue as a going
concern after auditing the company's consolidated financial
statements as of the years ended March 31, 2007, and 2006.  The
auditing firm reported that the company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency.

CLEARLY CANADIAN: Posts $2.7 Mil. Net Loss in Qtr. Ended June 30
----------------------------------------------------------------
Clearly Canadian Beverage Corp. reported a net loss of
$2.7 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, an
increase from the net loss of $2.6 million reported in the same
period last year, mainly due to lower gross profits.

Sales rose 12.1% to $3.0 million from $2.7 million.  The overall
increase in sales was a result of the addition of $1.0 million in
sales from the company's new healthy snack division (acquired in
February 2007 through the purchase of DMR Food Corporation) and
$209,000 in sales from the company's new organic baby product
division (acquired late May 2007 through the purchase of My
Organic Baby Inc.).  

Sales from the beverage division fell to $1.8 million from
$2.7 million, due to the decline in sales of the 14 oz. glass
sparkling flavoured water due to the changeover of the company's
distribution network in the first quarter of 2007 from the Dr.
Pepper/Seven-Up Bottling Group to the company's new network of
independent distribution partners.

Cost of sales rose to $2.4 million from $1.9 million.  Gross
profit margin percentage decreased to 19.1% from 28.5%, mainly due
to the integration of the new healthy snack and organic baby
product business units with the beverage units.  The healthy snack
unit has lower gross profit margin percentages than the other
businesses, however, it also has lower selling and marketing
expenses associated with its business.  

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$20.4 million in total assets, $8.8 million in total liabilities,
and $11.6 million in total stockholders' equity.

statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, are available for

                 Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, the company
increased its cash position by $883,000 from $5,267,000 at
Dec. 31, 2006 to $6,150,000 at June 30, 2007.

Total cash raised by the issuance of shares in the six months
ended June 30, 2007 totalled $4,429,000.

Operating losses, conversion to inventory and acquisition
expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2007, used cash
of $3,456,000.

The acquisition of DMR Food Corporation and My Organic Baby Inc.
required a cash outlay of $342,000 and $348,000 respectively,
being the difference between the initial cash payment and cash
acquired with the businesses.

At June 30, 2007, the company's liabilities relating to operations
consisted primarily of operating bank loan indebtedness of
$235,000, accounts payable to suppliers and service providers of
$3.1 million, and capital lease obligations of $225,000.

                       Going Concern Doubt

KPMG LLP of Vancouver, B.C. expressed substantial doubt about
Clearly Canadian Beverage Corp.'s ability to continue as a going
concern after auditing the company's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2006.  The auditing firm
pointed to the company's recurring losses from operations and
insufficient working capital to meet its planned business
objectives.

Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, have been
funded primarily from cash reserves raised by the issuance of
capital stock.

COMPLETE COMMS: Court Says No to Interim Financing with Trinity
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Judge Frank R. Monroe of the U.S. Bankruptcy of Court for
the Western District of Texas denied Complete Communications
Services Inc.'s request to enter into a post-petition financing
with Trinity River Advisors, LLC.

However, a final hearing on the financing motion is set for
Sept. 13, 2007, at 9:30 a.m.

                   Arrangement with Trinity River

The Debtor relates that through recent negotiations, Trinity River
agreed to provide debtor-in-possession financing.

Trinity River has offered to lend the Debtor $1,500,000 to be paid
out over the next four weeks through:

    * $500,000 by Aug. 31, 2007,
    * $350,000 by Sept. 7, 2007,
    * $350,000 by Sept. 14, 2007, and
    * $300,000 by Sept. 21, 2007.

The financing is secured by a first priority lien.

The Debtor relates to the Court that the intent of the financing
facility is to give Trinity River sufficient time to conduct due
diligence on the Debtor in preparation for a possible offer of
permanent financing.

The Debtor tells the Court that it requires financing to continue
operations and will be irreparably harmed if the requested relief
is not granted.

                  Negotiations with Other Lenders

The Debtor discloses that it has not been able to obtain
alternative financing.  Its pre-petition lender, First Citizens
Bank & Trust Company, is not willing to offer additional
financing.

Prior to the Debtor's first financing motion, the Debtor had
negotiated a term sheet with Numina Finance & Service Company, a
factoring company.  However, the factoring facility from Numina
did not contain the same advantages as that of a potential long-
term financing facility with Trinity River.

Further, Riviera Finance's Houston office is not willing to offer
the Debtor financing as DIP lender.

The Debtor is attempting to contact New Century Finance in
Houston, but has yet to receive a response.

The Debtor has also contacted other potential financers over the
last few weeks but received no response.

COMPLETE COMMS: Gets Interim Okay to Use Lender's Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas gave  
Complete Communications Services Inc. permission to use cash
collateral, specifically non-factored accounts receivable, on an
interim basis.

The Court however forbid the Debtor from using cash proceeds from
accounts receivables that have been factored by First Citizens
Bank & Trust Company.

As of its bankruptcy filing, the Debtor held about $1.6 million in
non-factored accounts receivable available for immediate
factoring.  The Debtor requires the use of cash collateral for its
operations to continue.

As adequate protection, First Citizens is granted replacement
liens on all of the Debtor's fixed assets.

A final hearing is scheduled at 9:30 a.m., on Sept. 13, 2007.

COMPLETE COMMS: Questions Validity of First Citizens' Lien
----------------------------------------------------------
Complete Communications Services Inc. informs the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas that before
filing for bankruptcy, it entered into a financing relationship
with First Citizen Bank of North Carolina.

However, this relationship deteriorated and First Citizen filed a
suit against the Debtor and threatened to obtain injunctive relief
against the Debtor, even though the Debtor held sufficient
security to satisfy the obligations owed to the lender.

The Debtor discloses its balance sheet as of June 30, 2007, showed
net asset value of $2,516,366.  Thus, the Debtor believes that
First Citizens secured claims are adequately protected by the
Debtor's remaining assets.

The Debtor alleges that First Citizen failed to perfect its
security interest in the Debtor's asset prior to the 90-day
preference period.  Thus, the Debtor relates, First Citizen
ultimately does not hold a security interest perfected by the non-
factored receivables.  The Debtor intends to file an adversary
proceeding to have the Court determine the validity, priority or
extent of First Citizen's putative lien.

If First Citizens' claim is found to be unsecured, the Debtor
believes that its available asset base outstanding for adequate
protection is more than sufficient for any entity with secured
claims against the Debtor.

Until the Debtor has had the chance to avoid First Citizen's last-
minute attempt at perfection, First Citizen holds a putative,
though fatally flawed, secured claim against the Debtor's
accounts.

COMPLETE RETREATS: Judge Shiff Approves Disclosure Statement
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Alan H. W. Shiff of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Connecticut approved on Aug. 31, 2007, the
disclosure statement explaining Complete Retreats, LLC, and its
debtor-affiliates' Modified Amended Plan of Liquidation.

Judge Shiff held that the Modified Disclosure Statement contains
adequate information within the meaning of Section 1125 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

Judge Shiff authorized the Debtors to send copies of the Modified
Plan and Disclosure Statement, and related documents to claimants
entitled to vote on the Plan and certain other notice parties.
The Debtors are also permitted to make non-substantive conforming
changes to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and related
solicitation documents and forms prior to solicitation.

The Debtors are authorized to file a Plan Supplement up to and
including September 27, 2007.

                          Modified Plan

The Modified Plan dated August 30, 2007, is predicated upon
substantive consolidation of (i) the Debtors' estates, (ii) DR
Umbria, Ltd., a non-debtor Northern Irish limited company, which
is indirectly wholly owned by Complete Retreats, and (iii)
Retreats Europe, Ltd., a non-debtor United Kingdom limited
company, which is wholly owned by Preferred Retreats.

Substantive consolidation results in, among other things, (i)
pooling the assets of, and claims against, the consolidated
entities, (ii) satisfying liabilities from a common fund, (iii)
eliminating intercompany claims, and (iv) combining the creditors
of the consolidated entities for purposes of voting on a plan.

Holders of Class 3 General Unsecured Claims will receive less
under the Modified Plan:

  (a) between 0 and 2% -- instead of 4.9% -- for former members
      or vendors who declined Ultimate Resort LLC's membership
      offer in the Ultimate Destination Club, and other general
      unsecured creditors; and

  (b) between 0 and 0.6% -- instead of 1.7% -- for Accepting
      Offerees.

Ultimate acquired substantially all of the Debtors' assets in
2006 for $98,000,000 cash.

Roughly 645 of the Offerees with claims aggregating approximately
$220,000,000 accepted New Membership Contracts with Ultimate.,
including eight of the 11 members of the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors in the Debtors' cases.

More than 230 Former Members and General Unsecured Creditors that
were offered New Membership Contracts declined Ultimate's  offer,
and their aggregate Claims are roughly $130,000,000.

Accepting Offerees lose their bargained-for, contractual right
under their Membership Agreements with the Debtors to redeem the
amount of their deposit from the Debtors.

Under the Modified Plan, the Debtors estimate having roughly
$400,000 of cash on hand on the Plan Effective Date.  The Debtors
anticipate that the sale of any remaining Assets should generate
between $588,000 and $6,500,000 in proceeds after payment of any
and all Allowed Convenience Class Claims, Allowed Administrative
Expense Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority
Non-Tax Claims, and Allowed Other Secured Claims and without
taking into account any potential proceeds from a lawsuit
relating to Private Retreats Belize, LLC's prepetition sale
transaction with Jeffrey Gram and Private Island Management
Limited, or any other Causes of Action or from any insurance
policies of the Debtors.

The Debtors could not estimate what the potential recoveries may
be on Causes of Action that may be pursued by the Liquidating
Trustee appointed under the Plan.

                      Disclosure Objections

Double AA Builders, The Multihull Company Luxury Catamaran
Charters, LLC, and Jeffrey Gram, Private Island Management and
Casa Olita objected to the First Amended Disclosure Statement the
Debtors filed on August 16, 2007.

Double AA and Multihull complained that the Disclosure Statement
contains inadequate disclosure concerning the treatment of
general unsecured claims in Class 3.  They argued that the Plan
improperly classifies trade creditors with Former Members.

Double AA asserted unsecured nonpriority claims of $577,915 plus
18% interest plus $1,004 in fees and costs, against Preferred
Retreats, LLC and Towne Clubs, LLC, pursuant to a default
judgment Double AA procured against both Debtors in prepetition
litigation in Arizona.  Double AA furnished labor and material on
Towne Clubs' Abercrombie & Kent Towne Clubs Demolition Project in
Scottsdale, Arizona.  No objection has been filed to Double AA's
proofs of claim.

Multihull is a Declining Offeree of the New Membership Contracts
from Ultimate.  Multihull timely filed identical proofs of claim
for $745,000 against Preferred Retreats and Private Retreats
Tortola, LLC.  No objection has been filed to the Multihull
Proofs of Claim.

Mr. Gram, et al., wanted the Debtors to provide more information
regarding the lawsuits involving Mr. Gram, et al., and the
Debtors; the proposed substantive consolidation; the termination
of Xroads Solutions Group, LLC's engagement and the subsequent
withdrawal of termination by the Debtors' board of directors; the
Debtors' liquidation analysis and alternatives to the Plan.

The Debtors filed the Modified Plan and Disclosure Statement to
address the objections.  The Debtors noted under the August 30
Modified Disclosure Statement that the Gram Defendants have
denied any liability and have asserted that they exercised their
rights under various agreements with the Debtors.

The Debtors also anticipated objections to the proposed
substantive consolidation.  To the extent the objections are not
resolved, or the Court does not overrule them, the Debtors said
they may withdraw the request for substantive consolidation of
some or of all of the Debtors and DR Umbria and Retreats Europe.

The Debtors reserved the right to modify the Plan or to convert
to Chapter 7 some or all of their cases if they are not allowed
substantively consolidation.

The Debtors also pointed out that their ability and that of the
Liquidating Trustee to collect significant proceeds from the
Causes of Action or asset sales is speculative.  The potential
for any increased recovery for holders of Allowed Class 3 General
Unsecured Claims, the Debtors said, would decline in the event
that the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee was not able to
collect significant proceeds from the Causes of Action or the
sales of the other Liquidating Trust Assets for any reason.

                      Solicitation Procedures

Judge Shiff also approved the Debtors' procedures for soliciting
and tabulating votes for their Modified First Amended Plan of
Liquidation.

Judge Shiff sets Aug. 23, 2007, as the record date for
determining which creditors are entitled to vote on the Plan and
to receive solicitation and other related forms.

All Ballots on the Plan must be received by Donlin, Recano &
Company, Inc., the Debtors' the Balloting Agent, on Oct. 5,
2007.

The Court directs the Debtors to serve the Disclosure Statement
and the Plan on or before Sept. 6, 2007, to the notice parties.

DURA AUTOMOTIVE: Sub. Noteholders Appeal Pacificor Backstop Accord
------------------------------------------------------------------
Beneficial holders and indenture trustees under subordinated
notes and debentures, which are entitled to zero recovery under
the proposed Chapter 11 plan of Dura Automotive Systems Inc.
and its 41 debtor-affiliates, took an appeal to the U.S. District
Court for the District of Delaware from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware's order approving Dura's backstop
rights purchase agreement with Pacificor, LLC.

Under the Backstop Agreement, Pacificor will purchase shares of  
Reorganized Dura common stock that are unsubscribed at the
expiration of a rights offering.  Dura intends to offer to senior
noteholders 39.4% to 42.6% of new common stock, in exchange for a
money investment of between $140,000,000 to $160,000,000.  Dura
expects to emerge from bankruptcy in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Beneficial holders of approximately $105,000,000 in face amount
of 9% senior subordinated notes due May 2009; U.S. Bank Trust
National Association, as indenture trustee for the holders of
three series of Dura Operating Corp.'s 9% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2009; and HSBC Bank USA National Association, successor
indenture trustee under the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due March 31, 2028, however, raised before the
Bankruptcy Court a number of issues, including:

   (i) The proposed transactions constitute a sub rosa plan that
       eliminates more than $600,000,000 in value, without
       allowing the noteholders and other affected constituencies
       any meaningful participation in the plan process;

  (ii) The Backstop Agreement appear to cede control of a
       significant portion of the plan process to Pacificor; and

(iii) Pacificor's fees, which include a $2,000,000 immediately
       payable upon the approval of the Agreement, and up to
       $1,000,000 in reimbursable expenses, are excessive.

The Debtors previously submitted a term sheet containing the
terms of a Chapter 11 plan contemplated by the Debtors.  Under
the Backstop Agreement, Pacificor will have the right to
terminate the Agreement if the Debtors file, or subsequently
modify, a Chapter 11 plan containing terms not acceptable to it.  
The terms subject to Pacificor's acceptance include:

   (a) Exit Facility;
   (b) Size and composition of the Board of Directors;
   (c) Exercise Price;
   (d) New Organizational Documents;
   (e) Subscription Agreement and related notices and forms;
   (f) Stockholders' Agreement;
   (g) Registration Rights Agreement; or
   (h) Effective Date.

Bankruptcy Court Judge Kevin J. Carey, nonetheless, overruled the
objections and approved the Backstop Deal, which paved the way
for the Debtors to file their plan of reorganization, containing
the terms provided for in the Plan Term Sheet, on Aug. 22, 2007.  

The Bankruptcy Court appeared to have ceded to the Debtors'
arguments that the Backstop Agreement is not a sub rosa plan --
it does not purport to, outside the plan confirmation process:
(a) bind creditors to vote for a plan; (b) determine
distributions; or (c) release parties' claims against the
Debtors.  The Debtors noted that the objectors are still entitled
to protections under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code as the
Backstop Agreement cannot, by its very terms, be consummated
unless a plan of reorganization is confirmed and consummated.  

The Debtors also argued that given that Pacificor has committed
to fund as much as $160,000,000 towards their successful
reorganization, it is entitled to "reasonable contractual
protections" and the negotiated fees, which are consistent with
fees charged in other Chapter 11 cases.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: Court Extends Lease Decision Deadline to December 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to extend
the period within which Federal-Mogul Corporation and its debtor-
affiliates may assume or reject non-residential real property
leases through and including the earlier of:

  (a) Dec. 1, 2007; or

  (b) the effective date of a plan of reorganization.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 15, 2007, the
Real Property Leases relate to numerous facilities integral
to the Debtors' ongoing business operations, notes James E.
O'Neill, Esq., at Pachulski, Stang, Ziehl, Young, Jones  &
Weintraub LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware.  While the Debtors'
management has largely completed the process of evaluating each
of the Real Property Leases for their economic desirability and
compatibility with the Debtors' long-term strategic business
plan, and a number of economically improvident Real Property
Leases have been rejected by the Debtors with the Court's
approval, several Real Property Leases are continuing to be
evaluated, Mr. O'Neill tells Judge Fitzgerald.  He notes that the
process of evaluating Real Property Leases has taken place as the
Debtors seek to (i) consolidate their facilities to eliminate
redundancies and inefficiencies; and (ii) shift certain
manufacturing efforts to portions of the country and the world
more suitable to their businesses, consistent with their overall
business plan.

An extension, Mr. O'Neill asserted, should be granted to:

  (1) allow time for the Debtors' evaluation process to
      continue; and

  (2) afford the Debtors maximum flexibility in restructuring
      their business.

"Given the inherent fluidity in the operation of a large, complex
business enterprise such as the Debtors', circumstances may arise
during the pendency of there Chapter 11 cases that will cause the
Debtors to rethink the need to continue leasing a particular
facility or their decision to reject a given Real Property
Lease," Mr. O'Neill points out.  "In the absence of an
extension . . . the Debtors could be forced prematurely to assume
Real Property Leases that may later be burdensome, giving rise to
large potential administrative claims against the Debtors'
estates and hampering the Debtors' ability to reorganize
successfully.  Alternatively, the Debtors could be forced
prematurely to reject Real Property Leases that would have been
of benefit to the Debtors' estates, to the collective detriment
of all stakeholders."

The Debtors request does not prejudice the lessors under the Real
Property Leases because the Debtors will continue to perform all
of their obligations under the Leases in a timely fashion,
including payment of all postpetition rent due,  Mr. O'Neill
assured the Court.

                   WNS Wants to Join Committee

District of Arizona that it be included in the Creditors
Committee.  
WNS notes that that it was listed by the Debtor on its list of 20
largest unsecured creditors, as the holder of the second largest
unsecured claims amounting to approximately $2,800,000.  WNS adds
that its general counsel Robert E. Michael, Esq., Robert E.

about securitization issues and finance and could assist the
Committee understand and analyze the issues likely to be raised

Committee because the Debtor's parent First Magnus Capital, owns
approximately 1% of the shares of WNS.  WNS, however, points out
that the U.S. Trustee has not explained why this would render WNS
unwilling or unable to perform its fiduciary obligation to
protect the interests of unsecured creditors.

FORD MOTOR: Reports 14% Decline in Overall U.S. Sales for August
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company disclosed on Tuesday that demand continues to
grow for the company's all-new and redesigned crossover vehicles,
but overall U.S. sales declined in August.

Total August sales were 218,332, down 14 percent compared with a
year ago.  Sales to daily rental companies were down 44 percent
and sales to individual retail customers were down 13 percent.

Ford, Lincoln and Mercury's all-new and redesigned crossover
utility sales were up 82 percent in August and up 48 percent year-
to-date – the largest increase of any major manufacturer.
  
"We are encouraged by consumers' response to our new products,"
said Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas.  "Demand for
our new crossovers continues to grow despite challenging economic
conditions."

In August, Ford Edge sales were 10,165 and Lincoln MKX sales were
3,421.  The Edge and Lincoln MKX were introduced in December 2006
and already are among the best sellers in the mid-size and premium
CUV segments.

Sales for the redesigned 2008 model Ford Escape and Mercury
Mariner crossovers were higher in August.  Escape sales were
11,960, up 4 percent, and Mariner sales were 2,939, up 6 percent.

Sales for the new Ford Expedition (up 17 percent) and Lincoln
Navigator (up 57 percent) also were higher than a year ago.  
Expedition sales were up for the twelfth consecutive month.

The Lincoln brand posted its eleventh month in a row of higher
retail sales.  In August, total Lincoln sales were up 16 percent
(retail up 17 percent).  Year-to-date, total Lincoln sales were up
13 percent (retail up 14 percent).  Lincoln's rebound reflects the
new Lincoln MKX crossover, the new Lincoln MKZ sedan and the
redesigned Navigator.

Land Rover dealers reported record August sales of 4,853, up 32
percent, reflecting the addition of the all-new LR2 crossover.  
Land Rover sales were up 6 percent year-to-date.

                    North American Production

In the fourth quarter 2007, the company plans to produce 640,000
vehicles, up 6 percent compared with the fourth quarter 2006.    
In the third quarter 2007, the company plans to produce 640,000
vehicles, unchanged from the previous forecast.

"Our plan remains to align production capacity and inventories
with consumer demand," said Fields.  "Our second half production
is in line with this thinking."

Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) --
http://www.ford.com/-- manufactures or distributes automobiles in    
200 markets across six continents.  With about 260,000 employees
and about 100 plants worldwide, the company's core and affiliated

financial services through Ford Motor Credit Company.

The company has operations in Japan in the Asia Pacific region.  
In Europe, the company maintains a presence in Sweden, and the
United Kingdom.  The company also distributes its brands in
various Latin American regions, including Argentina and Brazil.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 30, 2007,
Moody's Investors Service said that the performance of Ford Motor
Company's global automotive operations for the second quarter of
2007 was significantly stronger than the previous year and better
than street expectations.

However, Moody's explained that the company continues to face
significant competitive and financial challenges, and the rating
agency expects that Ford's credit metrics and rate of cash
consumption will likely remain consistent with no higher than a B3
corporate family rating level into 2008.

According to the rating agency, Ford's corporate family rating is
currently a B3 with a negative outlook.  The rating is pressured
by the shift in consumer preference from high margin trucks and
SUVs, and by the need for a new 2007 UAW contract that provides
meaningful relief from high health care costs and burdensome work
rules, Moody's relates.

In June 2007, S&P raised the Issue Rating on Ford's senior secured
credit facilities to B+ from B.


FORD MOTOR: Ford Canada Reports 8.7% Sales Increase in August
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited said Tuesday that sales
climbed in August, with overall sales hitting 8.7% over last
year's levels, led by Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Lincoln MKZ and
others.

"We continue to welcome Canadian consumers into the Ford family,"
said Bill Osborne, president and chief executive officer, Ford
Motor Company of Canada  Limited.  "Throughout 2007, we have
offered what we believe to be the best products in the industry to
our customers.  Now, the 2008 model-year line-up delivers on
innovation and style with new vehicles like the redesigned 2008
Ford Focus, 2008 Ford Taurus and 2008 Ford Taurus X."

In August, Ford of Canada saw overall combined sales increase to
23,130 units.  Total truck sales were up 13.9% at 17,496 units.
Although car sales of 5,634 units mark a 4.9% decline, the Ford
Fusion and Lincoln MKZ had strong sales with increases of 8.9% and
54.7% respectively.

GENERAL MOTORS: Says U.S. Sales for August Up By More Than 5%
------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. said in a press statement Tuesday that its
dealers in the United States delivered 388,168 vehicles in August,
up more than 5% compared with year-ago monthly sales, a strong
performance that resulted in an anticipated highest-of-the-year
market share of nearly 26 percent.  Brisk sales of full-size
pickups and crossover SUVs led the increase.

"Bucking the trend in the industry, we were able to post healthy
sales results in August.  When combining retail sales with our
growing commercial business, our sales were up when compared with
last August.  Importantly, last month was our third-best retail
month of the year," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North
America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.  "With the double-
digit decline in daily rental sales so far this year, and an
overall market that remains challenging and competitive, we
continue to stabilize our retail share and pricing in the market."

Customers are also recognizing the quality of GM products.  A
recent study ranked Buick number one (tied with Lexus) in vehicle
dependability.  Another customer service survey has every GM brand
above the industry average score -better than Toyota, Mercedes-
Benz, Chrysler, Ford and Land Rover.  "The myth of import
superiority is being destroyed.  In countless independent consumer
surveys, blogs and expert reviews, it is becoming increasingly
evident that we build the highest quality vehicles and deliver
them with world-class service," LaNeve noted.

Overall incentive spending was flat compared with a year ago.
August inventories were down about 34,000 vehicles to
approximately 945,000 vehicles.

"August performance shows we're hitting the sweet spot on truck
programs, and our award-winning Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra
full-size pickups are making important contributions on the retail
side," LaNeve added.  "Importantly, these vehicles contributed a
30% increase in full-size pickup retail sales, with Sierra kicking
in more than 22,500 retail sales in the month.  We are also
pleased with the ongoing success of the GMC Acadia, Saturn OUTLOOK
and Buick Enclave.  They are driving our mid-utility crossover
segment growth, which is up more than 400 percent compared with a
year ago despite short inventories.  As with many of our vehicles,
these all-new crossovers offer segment-leading fuel economy,
terrific performance and outstanding value."

The GMC Acadia, Saturn OUTLOOK and Buick Enclave together had
retail sales of more than 10,400 vehicles, pushing the significant
retail increase in GM's mid-crossover segment.

GM has 24 vehicles in the 2007 model lineup that achieve an EPA-
estimated 30 mpg highway or better.

Warranty coverage has increased substantially as a reason
consumers cite when buying a new GM vehicle.  GM's 5 Year/100,000
Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty continues to be a better choice
for customers.  GM's coverage focuses on the complete ownership
experience and includes other provisions that competitors do not
offer, including transferability to the next owner, more complete
coverage of parts, and coverage for new and certified used
vehicles.  In addition, GM offers superior complementary programs,
such as courtesy transportation and roadside assistance.  "GM
provides the best coverage in the industry and takes care of the
vehicle and the owner like no other vehicle manufacturer," LaNeve
added.

Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, General Motors Corp. (NYSE:
GM) -- http://www.gm.com/-- was founded in 1908.  GM employs      
about 280,000 people around the world and manufactures cars and

GM cars and trucks were sold globally under the following
brands: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, GM Daewoo, Holden,
HUMMER, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Vauxhall.  GM's OnStar
subsidiary is the industry leader in vehicle safety, security
and information services.

GENERAL MOTORS: GM Canada Sales Increased 3.2% in August
--------------------------------------------------------
General Motors of Canada said Tuesday that its dealers delivered a
total of 38,707 vehicles for August, an increase of 3.2% over the
same month last year.

Marc Comeau, GM of Canada's vice-president of sales, service, and
marketing said, "Our August sales increase was the result of
strong performance across our entire portfolio.  Our new crossover
utilities performed exceptionally well as did GM's leading
selection of small, fuel efficient vehicles."

Comeau added "We are looking forward to an exciting fall with the
launch of the European styled Chevrolet Malibu, the all new
Cadillac CTS and additions to GM's hybrid portfolio, including the
new Malibu hybrid and two-mode hybrid versions of the Chevrolet
Tahoe and GMC Yukon."

Sales Highlights for August

  -- GM's all-new family of crossover vehicles continue to perform   
     well with the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Saturn Outlook
     driving a 69.8% increase in mid-utility sales.

GLOBAL POWER: Objects to More Than $200 Million in Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
Global Power Equipment Group Inc. last week filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware 10 objections in an
effort to reduce or disallow the claims of more than $200 million
filed by energy companies, Bankruptcy Law360 reports.

According to the report, included were two objections to claims
filed by General Electric Co. totaling more than $66 million.  The
Debtor contends that GE didn't substantiate its claim.

Headquartered in Oklahoma, Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (Pink
Sheets: GEGQQ) -- http://www.globalpower.com/-- is a design,
engineering and manufacturing firm providing an array of equipment
and services to the energy, power infrastructure and process
industries.  The company designs, engineers and manufactures a
comprehensive portfolio of equipment for gas turbine power plants
and power-related equipment for industrial operations, and has
over 40 years of power generation industry experience.  The
company's equipment is installed in power plants and in industrial
operations in more than 40 countries on six continents.  In
addition, the company provides routine and specialty maintenance
services to nuclear, coal-fired, fossil, and hydroelectric power
plants and other industrial operations.

The company filed for chapter 11 protection on Sept. 28, 2006
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 06-11045).  Eric Michael Sutty, Esq.,
Jeffrey M. Schlerf, Esq., Kathryn D. Sallie, Esq., and Mary E.
Augustine, Esq., at The Bayard Firm and Malka S. Resnicoff, Esq.,
and Matthew C. Brown, Esq., at White & Case LLP, represent the
Debtor.  Adam G. Landis, Esq., Kerri K. Mumford, Esq., and Matthew
B. McGuire, Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP, represent the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  


HANCOCK FABRICS: Exclusive Plan-Filing Period Extended to Feb. 28
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan Linehan Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware extends Hancock Fabrics Inc. and debtor-
affiliates' exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization
through and including Feb. 28, 2008, and to solicit acceptances of
that plan through and including April 30.

Judge Shannon says absent a written consent from the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors by Nov. 15, 2007, to the
extension of the Exclusive Periods, the Debtors' Exclusive Plan
Filing Period will be deemed expired on November 30, and the
Exclusive Solicitation Period on January 31, solely with respect
to the Creditors Committee.

However, this will be subject, and will be without prejudice, to
the Debtors' right to seek further extensions of the Exclusive
Periods with respect to the Creditors' Committee.

Judge Shannon further rules that termination of the Exclusive
Periods with respect to the Creditors Committee will also be
applicable to the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders.

In their request, the Debtors said that an extension of their
Exclusive Periods will facilitate their efforts to maximize value
and allow them sufficient time to thoroughly analyze their
alternatives with respect to and formulate an appropriate
reorganization plan.

Robert J. Dehney, Esq., at Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnel, LLP,
in Wilmington, Delaware, asserted that cause exists for the Court
to extend the Debtors' Exclusive Periods.  The Debtors are one of
the largest fabric retailer in the United States operating almost
400 stores in 40 states and employing more than 7,000 people.  In
addition, the Debtors' business is highly seasonal.

Mr. Dehney told  the Court that since filing for bankruptcy, the
Debtors have focused much of their efforts on:

  (a) obtaining DIP financing facilities, which involved
      extensive negotiations with a number of parties-in-
      interest including, but not limited to, two DIP Financing
      Lenders, two Official Committees and the U.S. Trustee;

  (b) commencing and continuing the going-out-of-sale processes
      at more than 100 retail stores;

  (c) evaluating and executing the disposition of a large number
      of unexpired leases on an expedited basis, which involved
      a significant amount of communications and negotiations
      with a myriad of landlords as well as the Official
      Committees and other parties-in-interest;

  (d) preparing and filing the Schedules of Assets and
      Liabilities and Statements of Financial Affairs for each
      of the seven Debtors; and

  (e) establishing and noticing legions of creditors and other
      parties-in-interest of the Bar Date.

The Debtors' appropriate focus on those issues, as well their
address of numerous other matters attendant to their Chapter 11
cases, have made it difficult for them to formulate and build
consensus among numerous and diverse constituencies regarding a
reorganization plan during the current Exclusive Periods, Mr.
Dehney explained to Judge Shannon.  In fact, the large scale and
sophisticated nature of the Debtors' cases pose a number of
practical issues that, at this early stage, make formulation of
a reorganization plan impracticable, Mr. Dehney noted.

Moreover, the Debtors' management and employees have spent
considerable time and effort analyzing, stabilizing and improving
their businesses and operations.  With their historic peak sales
season approaching and continuing through December, the Debtors'
continued efforts in this regard are even more critical and will
consume the bulk of their time in the coming months, Mr. Dehney
elaborated.

The Debtors intend to take advantage of the extended Exclusive
Periods to continue the analysis and disposition of the remaining
Leases, proceed with the claims administration process, and
develop a reorganization plan, Mr. Dehney told the Court.

Mr. Dehney maintained that the creditors and other parties-in-
interest will not be prejudiced by an extension of the Debtors'
Exclusive Periods.

HANCOCK FABRICS: Has Until October 1 to File Landlords' Consents
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan Linehan Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware rules that an extension of the period for
Hancock Fabrics Inc. and debtor-affiliates to assume or reject a
particular lease will be effective upon the Debtors' receipt of an
executed Written Consent Solicitation Letter from the landlord of
that Lease.

The Debtors, after consultation with the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors and Official Committee of Equity Security
Holders, may agree to the modification of the Written Consent
Solicitation Letter to the extent that the modifications do not
materially affect the Debtors' estates.

Judge Shannon gives the Debtors until October 1, 2007, to file
with the Court and serve on each landlord, a list disclosing the
names of all landlords that have agreed to extensions and the
duration of each extension.

In their request, the Debtors related that as of their bankruptcy
filing, they were party to about 410 non-residential real property
leases.  Between the Petition Date to August 17, 2007, the Debtors
have rejected 132 leases, and two other leases have expired on
their own terms, Curtis S. Miller, Esq., at Morris, Nichols, Arsht
& Tunnell LLP in Wilmington, Delaware, told the Court.

Thus, the Debtors are currently party to about 276 leases.

The Debtors sent letters to the landlords of the 276 Leases
asking their written consent for an extension of the period
within which the Debtors may assume or reject the Leases through
February 29, 2008.

As consideration for the landlords' consent to an extension of
the Lease Decision Period, the Debtors offered to make timely
administrative rent payments through January 31, 2008, regardless
of whether any of the 276 Leases is rejected during that period,
Mr. Miller said.

Mr. Miller related that before sending the Written Consent
Solicitation Letter, the Debtors, as well as the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors, engaged in discussions with
certain landlords over the extension of the Lease Decision
Period.  The Debtors believe that counsel for the Creditors
Committee has obtained oral agreements from counsel of some of
the largest landlords regarding the terms for their written
consent to the extension.

Against this backdrop, the Debtors ask the Court to enter an
order extending the deadline by which they must reject or assume
a particular Lease upon their receipt of an executed Written
Consent Solicitation Letter from the landlord of that Lease.

The Debtors clarify that any extension of the Lease Decision
Period becomes effective only upon their receipt of a Written
Consent Solicitation Letter that has been executed by the
applicable landlord.  In addition, the extension is only for the
period of time that has been agreed to by the landlord.

Mr. Miller asserted that entry of the Written Consent Order will
allow the Debtors to maximize distribution to all its
stakeholders.  The Written Consent Order streamlines the process
for the Debtors to obtain further extension by relieving them of
obligations of having to return to the Court to effectuate an
extension each time a written consent by the landlord is
obtained.

Requiring separate court approval for each extension would not
only be time consuming but also a waste of the estate's assets,
Mr. Miller told Judge Shannon.

None of the Debtors' landlords will suffer unfair prejudice or
harm from entry of the Written Consent Order, Mr. Miller assured
the Court.  Every landlord has the freedom to decide, he said.

HOLLINGER INC: Canada is Right Venue to Fight over Sun Media Stake
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Peter Walsh of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware last week ruled that Canada was proper venue for
Hollinger Inc. and its bondholders to fight over Hollinger's 70%
stake in Sun Times Media Group Inc., Bankruptcy Law360 reports.

According to the report, the bondholders had asked the Court to
set a trial date in order to settle the dispute over the Sun Times
stake.

Based in Toronto, Ontario, Hollinger Inc. (TSX: HLG.C)(TSX:
HLG.PR.B) -- http://www.hollingerinc.com/-- owns approximately
70.1% voting and 19.7% equity interest in Sun-Times Media Group
Inc. (formerly Hollinger International Inc.), a media company with
assets which include the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper and

serving communities in the Chicago area.

Sugra Limited, filed separate Chapter 15 petitions on Aug. 1, 2007
(Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 07-11029 through 07-11031).  Hollinger
also initiated Court-supervised restructuring under the Companies'
Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) on the same day.

proceedings.


KARA HOMES: Modifies Plan to Include Kara Service
-------------------------------------------------
Kara Homes, Inc., last week, informed the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of New Jersey that it was modifying its Amended
Master Plan of Reorganization.

The Debtors, on June 28, 2007, filed an Amended Master Plan of
Reorganization and an Amended Disclosure Statement explaining that
plan.  On July 30, 2007, the Court approved the adequacy of the
Disclosure Statement.

The Debtors relate that on Aug. 27, 2007, an affiliate, Kara
Service Company LLC, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 07-22183).  Kara Service,
the Debtors say, provided accounting and check writing services to
Kara Homes.  Kara Service has no assets and creditors and is 90%
owned by Kara Homes.

The Debtors discloses that the plan is modified to include that
upon confirmation, Kara Service will be substantively consolidated
with Kara Homes.  Kara Service's petition date will also be deemed
as Oct. 5, 2006.

Headquartered in East Brunswick, New Jersey, Kara Homes Inc.
aka Kara Homes Development LLC, builds single-family homes,
condominiums, town homes, and active-adult communities.  The
company filed for chapter 11 protection on Oct. 5, 2006 (Bankr.
D. N.J. Case No. 06-19626).  On Oct. 9, 2006, nine affiliates
filed separate chapter 11 petitions in the same Bankruptcy Court.
On Oct. 10, 2006, 12 more affiliates filed chapter 11 petitions.
On June 8, 2007, 20 more affiliates filed separate chapter 11
petitions.

David L. Bruck, Esq., at Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith, et al.,
represents the Debtors.  Michael D. Sirota, Esq., at Cole,
Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard represents the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Traxi LLC serves as the
Debtors' crisis manager.  The Debtors engaged Perry M.
Mandarino as chief restructuring officer, and Anthony Pacchia
as chief financial officer.  When Kara Homes filed for protection
from its creditors, it listed total assets of $350,179,841 and
total debts of $296,840,591.  The Court has extended the Debtors'
exclusive period to solicit acceptances of their plan to Oct. 9,
2007.


KARA HOMES: Strober Building Objects to Planned Modification
------------------------------------------------------------
Strober Building Supply Inc. informs the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of New Jersey that it objects to the modification to
Kara Homes Inc. and its debtor-affiliates' Amended Master Plan of
Reorganization.

Strober reminds the Court that on August 27, a settlement between
Strober, Plainfield Specialty Holdings II, Inc., and the Debtors
was approved.  Bankruptcy Law360 reports that under the settlement
agreement, Strober transferred claims of more than $2 million to
Plainfield.

Strober relates that although it had initially asked to include a
release by the Debtors' from potential avoidance actions in the
proposed order, Strober agreed to have the release provision
removed.  Strober relates that as such, it remains subject to
potential avoidance actions that may be initiated relative to
payments made to Strober by any of the Debtors within the 90-day
period on or about that Debtors' petition date of Oct. 5, 2006.

Strober contends that by modifying the plan, the Debtors are
attempting to "back-date" Kara Service Company LLC's petition to
Oct. 5, 2006 and deem it as the filing date for purposes of
including prosecution of avoidance actions.  Strober further
contends that in doing so, the Debtors have "improperly enlarged"
Kara Service's preference period to 236 days.  Strober discloses
that it had received payments from Kara Service.

Strober also argues that the Debtors seek to have Kara Service
ruled that it is an "alter ego" of Kara Homes without any proof.

Strober thus asks the Court to deny the modifcation and have a
hearing held to determine the status of Kara Service.

Headquartered in East Brunswick, New Jersey, Kara Homes Inc.
aka Kara Homes Development LLC, builds single-family homes,
condominiums, town homes, and active-adult communities.  The
company filed for chapter 11 protection on Oct. 5, 2006 (Bankr.
D. N.J. Case No. 06-19626).  On Oct. 9, 2006, nine affiliates
filed separate chapter 11 petitions in the same Bankruptcy Court.
On Oct. 10, 2006, 12 more affiliates filed chapter 11 petitions.
On June 8, 2007, 20 more affiliates filed separate chapter 11
petitions.

LE-NATURE'S INC: Judge McCullough Cancels Sale to Giant Eagle
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. M. Bruce McCullough of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania invalidated the sale of Le-
Nature's Inc.'s sale of its Latrobe facility to Giant Eagle Inc.,
the Associated Press reports.  Judge McCullough said that Giant
Eagle acted in bad faith by intimidating rival bidder Cadbury
Schweppes PLC.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 24, 2007, the
Debtor's chapter 11 trustee, R. Todd Neilson, acting on an
anonymous tip from a Pittsburgh reporter, spearheaded an
investigation on allegations that Giant Eagle threatened Cadbury
Schweppes in an effort to win the Debtor's bottling plant.  Giant
Eagle allegedly said that it would pull Cadbury Schweppes'
products if Cadbury didn't pull out from the bidding.

Judge McCullough, in his August 30 ruling, also awarded the sale
to Cadbury Schweppes for $19 million, AP relates.  Cadbury
Schweppes, however said that it has no intention of buying the
property and will sell it if compelled to make the acquisition.

AP adds that Judge McCullough further ruled that Giant Eagle
forfeit the $2 million deposit that it made for the plant as well
as pay all costs of the investigation.

Giant Eagle plans to appeal the decision.

Headquartered in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Le-Nature's Inc. --
http://www.le-natures.com/-- makes bottled waters, teas, juices
and nutritional drinks.  Its brands include Kettle Brewed Ice
Teas, Dazzler fruit juice drinks and lemonade, and AquaAde
vitamin-enriched water.

Four unsecured creditors of Le-Nature's filed an involuntary

SEA CONTAINERS: Completes $170 Million Wells Fargo DIP Financing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert MacKenzie, president and chief executive officer of Sea
Containers Ltd., disclosed in a filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that on July 24, Sea Containers completed its
$170,000,000 debtor-in-possession financing with Wells Fargo Bank
Northwest, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, pursuant
to an order signed July 3, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware.  

The DIP Financing provides for a single-draw term loan of a
maximum principal amount of $145,000,000 and revolving loans in a
maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $25,000,000.

The company's obligations under this credit agreement are secured
by its equity interest in SPC Holdings Ltd., a bankruptcy-remote
Bermuda subsidiary of the company.

SPC Holdings guaranteed the company's obligations under the DIP
Financing in a limited amount; this guaranty is secured by SPC
Holdings's equity interest  and all other assets, if any, Mr.
MacKenzie says.

As part of the DIP Financing:

    (a) Sea Containers and SPC Holdings, as guarantor, completed
        a Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit
        Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., as
        administrative agent and collateral agent , and Mariner
        Investment Group, Inc., and Dune Capital LP, as co-
        arrangers and initial lenders, which provided for the
        credit and guaranty arrangements;

    (b) Sea Containers, Wells and Commerce Bank, N.A., entered
        into a Clearing Account Agreement so as to further
        secure the Company's obligations under the DIP
        Financing; and

    (c) SPC executed and delivered an Intercompany Demand
        Promissory Note reflecting obligations exceeding
        $100,000,000 of SPC to the Company at the time of the
        consummation of the DIP Financing.

According to Mr. MacKenzie, on the day on which Sea Containers
entered into the DIP Financing, the company borrowed $145,000,000
as a term loan.  

Proceeds of the $145,000,000 term loan were contributed as
surplus capital to SPC, which used those funds along with other
funds available to satisfy its indebtedness -- the 2006
Securitization -- including various fees and expenses, to
Wachovia Bank, National Association and Abelco Finance LLC and,
thereby, to terminate the debt.

The indebtedness under the 2006 Securitization had been secured
by substantially all of the of Sea Containers SPC's assets, by
SPC Holdings's equity interest in Sea Containers SPC, and by
certain Class B Quotas of the company with respect to GE SeaCo
SRL, a Barbados society with restricted liability.

The company is permitted from time to time to borrow money on a
revolving basis pursuant and subject to the DIP Financing for
working capital purposes.

SEA CONTAINERS: Wants Court Nod on 333 Capital as Advisors
----------------------------------------------------------
Sea Containers Ltd. and its debtor-affiliates seek the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware's authority to
employ 333 Capital Pty Ltd. as advisors to Sea Containers Limited
and Sea Containers Australia Limited, nunc pro tunc to August 16,
2007, in connection with the anticipated sale of the International
Reefer Services Pty Ltd. and Independent Reefer Services Ltd.
Companies' businesses and assets.

Laura Barlow, Sea Containers' chief restructuring officer, says
333 Capital is well qualified to provide the services being
sought by the Debtors.  333 Capital specializes in, among others,
advising entities which are considering sale, merger or
acquisiton transactions.  The firm's boutique advisory practice
is designed to specifically enhance its clients' transaction
execution capabilities, she says.  

The firm's advisory expertise, Ms. Barlow notes, spans
traditional corporate finance advisory services as well as due
diligence and transaction management roles.

The professionals at 333 Capital, Ms. Barlow tells the
Court,                                                                
have vast experience in the restructuring and sale of large and
small businesses with complex operations.  In particular, she
says, David Scoullar, a managing director at the firm is well
qualified to serve as team leader for the anticipated sale
transaction.  Mr. Scoullar has over 12 years of national and
international corporate finance transaction experience.

The Debtors, thus, believe that the firm's employment will
greatly contribute to the process of selling the IRS Companies.  

Under the Debtors' supervision, 333 Capital will:

  (a) design and implement overall sale process that will
      conclude in two months;

  (b) review the businesses and assets to obtain understanding
      of the asset's real potential;

  (c) prepare an information memorandum to be circulated to
      interested parties on a confidential basis;

  (d) market the businesses and assets within Australia, New
      Zealand, and internationally if appropriate;

  (e) enter into confidentiality agreements with interested
      parties;

  (f) establish an electronic "data room" to provide secure,
      confidential access to information;

  (g) liaise with interested parties and attend to requests
      for additional information;

  (h) procure indicative offer letters form interested parties;

  (i) advance discussions and negotiations with short-listed
      interested parties; and

  (j) instruct and supervise a qualified solicitor to draft all
      necessary legal documentation to effect the sale.

A non-refundable retainer of AU$100,000 will be paid by SCAL to
333 Capital on the basis of the scope of services within two
months.  If the engagement and sale process exceeds two months,
333 Capital will charge SCAL an incremental retainer of AU$25,000
per month.  

Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by 333 Capital will be charged to
SCAL at cost, including travel and accommodation.

In addition, SCAL will pay 333 Capital a success fee of 5% of the
Gross Sale Proceeds of the IRS Companies that exceed $1,000,000.

Mr. Scoullar assures the Court that 333 Capital is a
"disinterested person" within the meaning of Section 101(14) of
the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by Section 1107(b).  The firm
does not hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtors
and their estates.

Revenues rose 288% to $361,000 from $93,000.

The increased net income for the current period is primarily the
result of the recognition of half the payment received from a
major customer to license additional usage rights which had
expired in the first quarter of 2007.  There will be no more
licensing revenue in the future under the company's current
business model, as the assets of the company were sold on July 2,
2007.

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$1.1 million in total assets, $229,089 in total liabilities, and
$873,469 in total stockholders' equity.

                       Going Concern Doubt

Ramirez International Financial & Accounting Services Inc., in
Irvine, Calif., expressed substantial doubt about Spatializer
Audio Laboratories Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the company's consolidated financial statements as
of the year ended Dec. 31, 2006.  The auditing firm pointed to the
company's significant operating losses.

The company believes that regardless of the increase in revenue
due to the licensing renewal in the three month period ended
June 30, 2007, and had the asset sale not occurred, there was no
expectation that the revenue streams were sustainable.  The
company had only one part time employee, could not solicit new
business as it was not a going concern and existing licenses were
at end of life.

ST. VINCENT'S: Emerges from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------
Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers' Plan of Reorganization
became effective Friday, marking Saint Vincent's emergence from
its voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings.

Saint Vincent's has met all requirements to emerge from bankruptcy
and the implementation of the court approved Plan of
Reorganization brings to a conclusion the organization's financial
restructuring process.  Saint Vincent's Plan of Reorganization was
confirmed on July 27, 2007 by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York.  GE Healthcare Financial Services
is providing the financing for the newly reorganized system.

"This is a new day for Saint Vincent's and the final milestone in
our reorganization process is now completed," Alfred E. Smith, IV,
and Board Chairman of Saint Vincent's, said.  "We have emerged as
a stronger healthcare system, with a revitalized balance sheet and
well positioned for continued future growth.  We look forward to
continuing to meet the healthcare needs of the Metropolitan area
with excellence and pride."

The "new" Saint Vincent's looks forward to continuing to provide
high quality medical, behavioral health, and continuing care to
its patients and communities.  It is focused on a core mission of
services that is financially viable in today's healthcare
environment.

The system is anchored by St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan, the
academic medical center of New York Medical College in New York
City and the only hospital on the Westside of Manhattan from
Midtown to Tribeca.  The organization provides psychiatric and
chemical dependency treatment services throughout the Metropolitan
area including St. Vincent's Hospital Westchester.  It retains
three skilled nursing facilities, St. Elizabeth Ann's Health Care
& Rehabilitation Center in Staten Island, as well as Holy Family
Home and Bishop Mugavero Center for Geriatric Care in Brooklyn.  
Saint Vincent's operates one of the largest hospital-based home
care agencies in the Metropolitan area. The health system is the
designated provider and sponsor for the New York/New Jersey region
for the US Family Health Plan under contract with the Department
of Defense.

"I especially would like to thank the employees of Saint Vincent's
for their hard work and dedication during this challenging time,"
Henry Amoroso, President and CEO of Saint Vincent's, said.  "We
are now focused on the future, with a financially viable
healthcare organization, which is committed to building a new
technologically advanced "green" hospital to serve the West Side
and Downtown of Manhattan."

Planning has begun for the new hospital that will be located
across the street from the current Greenwich Village hospital
campus.  The hospital recently announced the selection of Pei Cobb
Freed and Partners as the architectural design firm for the new
hospital.  Saint Vincent's has been working with elected
officials, community organizations, block associations and various
leaders to seek their input in planning for the new hospital.

Saint Vincent's serves as the academic medical center of New York
Medical College in New York City.  The healthcare organization is
sponsored by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Brooklyn and the
President of the Sisters of Charity of New York.

                      About Saint Vincent's

Based in New York City, Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers
of New York -- http://www.svcmc.org/-- the healthcare provider in  
New York State, operates hospitals, health centers, nursing homes
and a home health agency.  The hospital group consists of seven
hospitals located throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and
Staten Island, along with four nursing homes and a home health
care agency.

The company and six of its affiliates filed for chapter 11
protection on July 5, 2005 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 05-14945
through 05-14951).  Gary Ravert, Esq., and Stephen B. Selbst,
Esq., at McDermott Will & Emery, LLP, filed the Debtors' chapter
11 cases.  On Sept. 12, 2005, John J. Rapisardi, Esq., at Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP took over representing the Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  Martin G. Bunin, Esq., at Thelen Reid &
Priest LLP, represents the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  As of Apr. 30, 2005, the Debtors listed $972 million
in total assets and $1 billion in total debts.  The Debtors filed
their Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization accompanying a disclosure
statement explaining that Plan on Feb. 9, 2007.  On June 1, 2007,
the Debtors filed an Amended Plan & Disclosure Statement.  The
Court confirmed the Debtors' Amended Plan on July 27, 2007.


TRAVELSTAR INC: Earns $6.3 Million in Second Quarter Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Travelstar Inc. reported net income of $6.3 million in the second
quarter ended June 30, 2007, a reversal of the net loss of
$661,755 reported in the same period last year, mainly due to the
recognition in the 2007 quarter of a gain of $6.9 million as a
result of the elimination of the accrued liability related to
warrants and stock purchase rights.  

This elimination of the accured liability was made possible
following the increase in the company's authorized shares to 210
million, consisting of 10 million shares of preferred stock and
200 million shares of common stock.

The company reported an operating loss of $579,337, compared to
operating income of $90,353 in 2006.  The swing to an operating
loss was mainly due to lower revenue and an increase in selling
and marketing expenses.

Revenue fell to $2.3 million from $2.6 million.  During the three
months ended June 30, 2007, the company recognized $62,000 in
override revenue, compared with $275,508 in 2006.  This was
because beginning in the second quarter of 2007, the company
decided to recognize override revenues only upon receipt of funds
or confirmation of entitlement from the travel supplier.

Marketing and sales expenses rose from $1.4 million to
$1.8 million primarily due to the increased payments to travel
agents.  

At June 30, 2007, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$6.3 million in total assets, $4.2 million in total liabilities
and $2.1 million in total stockholders' equity.

TRUESTAR PETROLEUM: Optima Services Files Chapter 11 in Texas
-------------------------------------------------------------
Optima Services International LTD., one of the creditors of
Truestar Petroleum Corporation and Truestar Barnett LLC, filed
involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions against TPC and
Truestar Barnett in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas.

The majority of the assets of Truestar Barnett are located within
the geographic area served by the Northern District of Texas.

Press statement made by TPC stated that Macquarie Bank was in the
process of foreclosing on specific assets of Truestar Barnett and
such foreclosure was scheduled to take place on Sept. 4, 2007.  
Optima understands that the value of Truestar Barnett's oil and
gas assets in the Barnett Shale is greater than the obligations
owed to Macquarie Bank.

Optima took this action to protect its interests well as the
interests of all creditors who do not have valid liens against the
Barnett Shale oil and gas assets.

After the involuntary bankruptcy filings were effected, Optima was
informed that Truestar Barnett intended to file a voluntary
Chapter 11 case in the United States Bankruptcy Court sitting in
Denver, Colorado.

"Optima believes that the Northern District of Texas is the
appropriate venue for any bankruptcy involving Truestar Barnett
and/or TPC as the majority of assets are located in the Northern
District of Texas and the majority of creditors will be better
served if the bankruptcy is administered in the Northern District
of Texas," Robert Kubbernus, president of Optima Services
International LTD, stated.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the company's balance sheet showed total assets
of $32.46 million, total liabilities of $64.91 million, resulting
to a shareholders' deficit of $32.45 million.

In April 2007, the company received another waiver until
June 2007, from Macquarie Bank Ltd. in respect to various breaches
of loan covenants.


TRUEYOU.COM INC: March 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $86.7 Mil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TrueYou.Com Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007,
showed $23.1 million in total assets and $107.4 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $84.3 million total stockholders'
deficit.

The company's consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007, also
showed strained liquidity with $6.1 million in total current
assets available to pay $69.9 million in total current
liabilities.

The company reported net income of $59.1 million in the third
quarer ended March 31, 2007, a reversal of the $153.9 million net
loss reported in the same period last year, mainly due to a
$90.5 million unrealized gain on convertible securities, reversing
a $147.0 million unrealized loss of $147.0 million in the three
months ended April 1, 2006.

The company reported an operating loss of $25.7 million in the
three months ending March this year, an increase from the
operating loss of $6.6 million in the same period last year,
mainly due to lower revenues and a goodwill impairment of
$18.1 million, versus $-0- in the same period ended April 1, 2006.

Revenues fell to $7.1 million from $10.5 million.  The significant
decrease in revenue was partially due to a $1.2 million decrease
in service revenue, comprised of spa and salon services.  The
company also experienced a $1.8 million decrease in wholesale
product sales from the sale of Cosmedicine products sold to
Sephora and other customers for the three months ended March 31,
2007, versus the three months ended April 1, 2006.  

                      Impairment of Goodwill

As a result of the notice of default received on the Senior
Secured Debt on March 8, 2007, and the drop in the company traded
share price, management determined that that the company's
goodwill has been impaired and have therefore recorded a charge of
$18.1 million in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, to
write-off all of its goodwill.

The company also determined that intangible assets related to non-
compete agreements, trademark / trade names, and customer
relationships have been fully impaired.  As a result, the company
also recorded a charge of $626,000 in its fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2007, to write-off all of these intangible assets.

                       Loan Default Penalty

On March 8, 2007, Laurus, the holder of the company's
$25.0 million in principal amount of Senior Secured Debt and also
the holder of $1.0 million in principal amount of Senior
Subordinated Secured Debt, sent the company a Notice of Default
and Acceleration accelerating the obligations due to Laurus under
the Secured Term Note issued as of June 30, 2006, and the Senior
Subordinated Secured Term Note issued as of Dec. 22, 2006.  As a
result of this default, the company has classified the
aforementioned debt as current on its March 31, 2007, consolidated
balance sheet.  The company incurred a $3.8 million penalty in May
2007 as a result of this default, and recorded the charge and
related liability in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which is
included in current portion of long term debt on the condensed
donsolidated balance sheet.

       Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million and $20.2
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1,
2006, respectively.  This deterioration of cash flows resulted
primarily from an operating loss of $44.6 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 2007, versus an operating loss of
$20.1 million for nine months ended April 1, 2006.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $29.0 million and
$27.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, and
April 1, 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31,
2007, financing activities were primarily the $28.2 net increase
in debt due to the new financing, offset by the $900,000 debt
closing costs.  For the nine months ended April 1, 2006, cash
flows from financing activities were primarily the result of the
$14.9 million gross issuance of TrueYou Series D Preferred Stock,
$10.1 million gross issuance of KAAI Series G Preferred Stock and
$4.8 million gross from issuance of KAAI Series F Preferred Stock,
which was subsequently exchanged for Series H Preferred Stock.

                       Going Concern Doubt

Amper, Politziner & Mattia P.C., in Edison, N.J., expressed
substantial doubt about TrueYou.Com Inc.'s ability to continue as
a going concern after auditing the company's consolidated
financial statements as of the years ended July 1, 2006, and
June 30, 2005.  The auditing firm reported that the company has
incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations
since inception, and has a working capital deficiency.

As of March 31, 2007, the company had an accumulated deficit of
$86.7 million and a working capital deficiency of $63.7 million.

TXU CORP: ISS & Glass Lewis Urges Shareholders to Vote FOR Merger
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis, independent
proxy advisory firms, recommended that TXU Corp. shareholders vote
"FOR" the merger transaction between TXU and Texas Energy Future
Holdings Limited Partnership.  TEF was formed by a group of
investors led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific
Group to facilitate the merger.  TXU shareholders should vote
promptly so that their votes can be counted at the company's Sept.
7, 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

In recommending that TXU shareholders vote to approve the
transaction, ISS stated:

"We conclude that the proposed buyout compares favorably to
comparable transactions.  TXU has been affected by both positive
and negative developments since the February announcement of the
buyout.  Although at certain point the implied takeover premium
had declined as the company's peer set rallied, as of the date of
this recommendation the offer price reflects a reasonable control
premium."

Noting in its report that the transaction value represents an
"all-time high value for shareholders," Glass Lewis stated:

"Quantitatively, we believe the merger value per share appears
financially fair for shareholders.  The cash consideration falls
at the high end of the equity valuation ranges presented in the
updated analyses of the financial advisor to the special
committee."

Egan-Jones and Proxy Governance, two other independent proxy
advisory firms, also issued opinions recommending that
shareholders vote in favor of the merger.

"We are very pleased that ISS, Glass Lewis, Egan-Jones and Proxy
Governance have all confirmed the board of directors' view that
this transaction is in the best interests of our shareholders," C.
John Wilder, TXU chairman and CEO, said.  "These announcements
demonstrate strong support for the board of directors' conclusion
that the merger offers the best value to shareholders."

Shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 19,
2007, will be entitled to vote on the proposed merger.  Under the
terms of the merger agreement, as announced on Feb. 26, 2007, TXU
Corp. shareholders will receive $69.25 in cash per share after
closing.
TXU urges all shareholders to vote "FOR" the merger transaction,
consistent with the recommendations of TXU's board of directors
and ISS, Glass Lewis, Egan-Jones and Proxy Governance, four
independent proxy advisory firms.

Since approval of the merger requires the affirmative vote of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding shares, each TXU shareholder's
vote is extremely important, regardless of the number of shares
owned.  A failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote
against the transaction.

TXU shareholders should vote by telephone or by Internet by
following the easy instructions on the proxy card, or by signing,
dating and returning the proxy card promptly to ensure their
shares are voted.

Shareholders who have questions or need assistance in the voting
of their shares should call TXU's proxy solicitor, Georgeson,
Inc., toll-free at (888) 605-7523 (banks and brokers may call
collect at (212) 440-9800).

TXU's Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Sept. 7, 2007
at 9:30 a.m. local time in the Dallas Ballroom of the
International Conference and Exposition Center located in the
Adam's Mark Hotel at 400 North Olive Street, Dallas, Texas 75201.

                         *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 29, 2007,
the proposed acquisition of TXU Corp. by a consortium of private
equity investors will likely lead to a period of aggressive
financing that could make TXU a deeply speculative-grade rated
company, Moody's Investors Service said in a report exploring
the proposed transaction's credit implications.  Currently, only

US ENERGY: Provides Update on Liquidity; Issues Bankruptcy Warning
------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Energy Systems, Inc., on June 25, 2007, said that, absent a
refinancing, the raising of additional capital or other financial
restructuring, the company would be unable, as early as August
2007, to meet operating requirements and certain contractual
obligations as they become due.  In addition, the company further
indicated that it had insufficient funds to make certain required
capital contributions required under the UK financing arrangements
between September and December of 2007.

In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, the company provided further updates on these issues.

                              Liquidity

Based upon updated estimates of cash activity, the company will
require additional funding during September 2007 in order to
continue to meet operating and contractual obligations as they
become due.

It is estimated that approximately $21 million will be required to
provide USEY with sufficient liquidity to fund:

    (i) approximately $8.2 million in capital contributions
        required to be made by USEY under the UK financing
        arrangements,

   (ii) $2.8 million in working capital required for USEY to
        continue operations through December 31, 2007 and

  (iii) $10 million of capital contributions to its UK
        subsidiaries to allow such subsidiaries to continue
        operations through Dec. 31, 2007.

The funding requirements described above do not take into account
approximately $25 million of restricted cash reserves in place
under the UK financing arrangements.

The company is engaged in discussions with its lenders with
respect to restructuring existing indebtedness, including
receiving access to the restricted cash reserves, and is exploring
funding alternatives, including sales of assets, with lenders and
others.

While a non-binding Letter of Intent for the sale of USEY's
subsidiary U.S. Energy Biogas Corp. has been executed, no
definitive agreements concerning asset sales or other funding
alternatives have been reached, and the discussion of funding
alternatives is in a preliminary stage.  There can be no assurance
that the company can obtain the required funding within the
necessary timeframe or on terms which would be in the best
interests of the company's stakeholders.

The failure to obtain such funds is likely to result in USEY
filing for protection in the U.S. under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code and its UK subsidiaries being forced to enter
bankruptcy administration in the UK.

             Capital Program, Operations and Assets

The company, on its June 25, 2007 disclosure said that based on
forecasts provided by third party engineers, the capital
expenditure program for the UK assets on which the UK financing
arrangements were based would significantly exceed the capital
expenditure budget of $36,000,000 and could exceed that amount by
more than 100%.

The company now believes that the capital requirements with
respect to its original plan to expand the company's UK assets
will exceed the original capital expenditure budget by
significantly more than 100%.  As a result of the inability to
fund these capital requirements, the company's management is in
the process of developing a revised plan for the company's UK
assets in lieu of the originally contemplated plan which was the
basis for the UK financing.

Once the results of the reserve report and 3D seismic program have
been completed and analyzed, which may not be until January 2008,
the company's management will be in a position to formulate an
appropriate strategy with respect to its UK assets and determine
the future capital expenditure program needed to maximize the
value of the gas reserves.

There can be no assurance that (i) the company will be able to
make satisfactory arrangements with its lenders or others to
provide the company with sufficient debt restructuring and
liquidity until such an assessment can be made, (ii) the reserve
reports will support a commercially viable alternative business
plan with respect to the company's UK assets, or (iii) the
company's existing lenders or others will provide the additional
funding or capital that any such plan developed by the Company's
management may require.

Through Dec. 31, 2007, the company's capital expenditure program
will need to include sufficient amounts to fund (1) repairs at one
of the UK subsidiaries' gas wells and (2) the 3D seismic program.

Generating plant production – Due to a shortfall in the production
of gas resulting from the shutting in of one of UKES' producing
wells, the power plant is producing at approximately 20% below its
generating capacity resulting in a reduction in revenues of
approximately $10,000 per day.  The gas shortfall is the result of
the inability of the well to return to production after it was
shut down for collection system repairs.  In order to bring the
well back into production, a workover of the well is needed which
would cost approximately $1,000,000, for which funds are not
currently available. There can be no assurance that the initial
workover will be successful and more expensive procedures may be
required to bring the well back to production.  If funding for the
workover can be obtained, management estimates that it will take
from 6 to 8 weeks from commencement to perform the work.

Reserves – It is anticipated that the company will receive an
updated gas reserve report from its independent engineer within
the next three weeks.  The company says that UK assets contained
approximately 62.4 bcf (P2) of proven and probable reserves.

At present, the company has received no indication whether the
updated gas reserve report will result in any adjustment (whether
upward or downward) of the Proven and Probable Reserves.  In
addition to the updated reserve report, the company has been
engaged in a 3D seismic program, the field work for which is
scheduled to be completed during the last two weeks of September.  
Once the field work is processed and analyzed, the program will
provide the company's management with additional guidance
pertaining to the optimal location of the additional wells that
will be needed to monetize the gas identified in the reserve
reports.

                    Actions Being Taken.

In order to obtain capital and to provide for future operations,
the company is pursuing these options:

The Sale of U.S. Energy Biogas Corp.:

The Company executed a Letter of Intent submitted by Silver Point
Finance, LLC to acquire, in an all-cash acquisition, 100% of the
common stock of U.S. Energy Biogas Corp. for a purchase price
payable to the company equal to $9.0 million.  In connection with
the Equity Acquisition, Silver Point is also willing to consider
an increase in the amount available under the Credit and Guaranty
Agreement previously entered into between the Company and Silver
Point of up to $8.0 million of which $2.0 million would funded
upon the completion of the Debt Financing and $6.0 million would
be available at the discretion of Silver Point.  Negotiations are
proceeding.

Bank Negotiations:

The company and its expert consultants are currently in
discussions with the company's lenders in an attempt to
restructure and/or expand on current financing arrangements or
enter into new arrangements.  The restrictions, consent rights and
liens on the company's assets under the company's existing debt
instruments, together with the company's highly leveraged capital
structure, significantly limit the Company's ability to
restructure the existing debt financing arrangements and raise new
capital.  One of the company's senior lenders has indicated a
willingness to discuss the extension of additional credit to the
company but there can be no assurance that such additional
financing will be made available or be on terms acceptable to the
company.  The company continues to be in non-monetary default
under the UK financing arrangements and is required to pay
interest at the default rate under the UK financing arrangements.  
This results in an additional monthly interest payment equal to
approximately $220,000 of which approximately $92,000 are rolled
up into principal under the terms of the UK financing
arrangements.

Business Planning:

Upon receipt of the reserve report and completion of the seismic
studies referred to above, management will be in a position to
determine the value of the UK assets and whether these assets can
be developed and operated in a profitable manner.  This
determination will be critical to the company's prospects.

Other:

The company has entered into discussions with various entities
seeking to invest in either the UK assets or in the Company
itself.  The company has recently received a letter from an entity
indicating its interest in investing in the company.  As the
letter was just recently received, the company is in the early
stages of the analysis of the offer.  However, the offer as
written would prohibit the sale of U.S. Energy Biogas Corp. and
would involve substantial dilution of existing shareholders.

The company can provide no assurance that it will be able to
obtain the required financing, restructure existing indebtedness
and profitably operate its assets under these or any other
scenarios.  Failure to do so is likely to result in USEY filing
for protection in the U.S. under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
as well as its UK subsidiaries being forced to enter bankruptcy
administration in the UK.

WR GRACE: Wants Approval to Raise OCP Cap to $1.2 Million
---------------------------------------------------------
W.R. Grace & Co. and its debtor-affiliates ask the Hon. Judith
Fitzgerald of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to amend the Ordinary Course Professional Order to
increase the Total OCP Expenditure Cap to $1,200,000.

The uninterrupted services of the OCPs are vital to the Debtors'
continuing operations and their ultimate ability to reorganize,
Timothy P. Cairns, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl Young Jones &
Weintraub, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, contends.  The Debtors'
operations would be hindered if OCPs are either not paid for
their services or required to submit fee applications to the
Court for all their fees and expenses billed.

Mr. Cairns points out that from April 1, 2007, through June 30,
2007, certain OCP fees and expenses since the Petition Date are
nearing the current $800,000 Total Expenditure Cap because of
increased activity in the reorganization process.  Mr. Cairns
tells the Court that while the Debtors have made significant
progress in resolving their asbestos liabilities, the estimation
trial on asbestos-related personal injury claims has been delayed
and will not commence until January 2008.  

Mr. Cairns contends that with a $400,000 increase in the OCP
expenditure budget, the Debtors should be able to prevent the
need for further increases in the OCP Expenditure Cap until the
conclusion of the PI estimation proceedings.

The Debtors also ask the Court to allow OCPs to seek approval of
compensation that exceeds the $50,000 Monthly Cap by filing fee
applications without prior Court approval to do so.  

In another filing, the Debtors ask the Court to allow the fees
and expenses incurred and billed by Morrison & Foerster, LLP, to
exceed the Monthly Cap.

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.
