AMERICAN LAFRANCE: Addresses Plan Confirmation Objections
---------------------------------------------------------
Christopher A. Ward, Esq., at Klehr, Harrison, Harvey, Branzburg
& Ellers, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, relates that American
LaFrance, LLC, has spent considerable time reviewing the
objections filed against its Third Amended Plan of
Reorganization.  He avers that in order to alleviate the concerns
raised by the objecting parties and to better frame the issues,
the Debtor has come up with a comprehensive omnibus response,
detailing the treatment and resolution of the Objections.

Mr. Ward lists down the Objecting Parties and the Debtor's
proposed actions towards the resolution of those Parties'
Objections:

   * INCAT Systems Inc.'s objection has been resolved as the
     Debtor and INCAT have agreed to the terms of the assumption
     of the parties' contract.

   * The Objection of Freightliner of San Antonio, Ltd., has been
     resolved.  The parties agree that the Debtor will assume (i)
     the 15 Condor Trucks with Serial Nos. Z69230 through Z69244,
     and (ii) the dealership agreement which cover the San
     Antonio and Laredo, Texas Dealerships.  All objections on
     flooring credits, and interim carrying costs under the Sale
     and Repurchase Agreement, have been settled.

   * The adequate assurance of future performance issue of RT
     Jedburg Commerce Park will be addressed at the confirmation
     hearing.  As of April 25, 2008, the Debtor is continuing
     negotiations with RT Jedburg since the Debtor intends to
     present a resolution of the Objection by the confirmation
     hearing.

   * The City of Bellingham, Washington's clamor for adequate
     assurance of future performance will be directed at the
     confirmation hearing.  The Debtor, however, clarifies that
     the City's Objection raises a claim resolution issue,
     instead of a plan confirmation issue.  The City's assertion
     of a secured claim against the Debtor will be addressed
     pursuant to the claims resolution process.  

   * The Debtor asserts that Southwest Emergency Response Team
     has the Plan misunderstood, as the Plan does not impair
     SERT's rights against any bond.

   * According to the Debtor, the City of Downingtown is not a
     secured creditor of the Debtor though the Claimant may have
     a secured interest in the performance bond.  However, the
     Debtor reiterates that the Plan does not impair the City's
     rights against any bond.

   * The Debtor will address Pneu-Mech Systems' issue on adequate
     assurance of payment at the confirmation hearing.  As of
     April 25, 2008, the Debtor is negotiating with Pneu-Mech to
     resolve the Objection in time for the confirmation hearing.

To the extent that an Objection is not resolved prior to the
confirmation hearing, the Debtor says it intends to ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to consider the
unresolved Objections at a hearing to be scheduled after the
confirmation of the Plan.

                       Other Parties Reply

RT Jedburg Commerce Park, LLC, complains that the Plan is not
confirmable to the extent the Debtor contends that the language
of the Plan allows it to "assume" the Summerville Property and
then, after confirmation, determine whether the proposed cure
satisfies the statutory requirements of assuming a contract.  RT
Jedburg asserts that the Plan ails to comply with Section
365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, which requires a
determination of whether the Lease can be assumed for the
Proposed Cure no later than the entry of the confirmation order.

In a separate letter to the Court, Beth Gouge, secretary of
Limestone Cove Volunteer Fire Department, tells the Court that
LCVFD no longer has a contract pending with Deep South or the
Debtor.  Deep South broke the Contract by failing to deliver a
truck by the due date despite LCVFD's attempts to reach Dennis
Graves of Deep South through e-mails to set another grant
deadline of the truck.  She discloses that Deep South neither
responded to the emails nor upheld the agreement.

ASCALADE COMMS: CCAA Monitor Files Chapter 15 Petition in U.S.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with the on-going legal proceedings filed by
Ascalade Communications Inc. and Ascalade Technologies Inc. in
Canada under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, on April 29
2008, Deloitte & Touche Inc., the court-appointed monitor in the
CCAA proceedings, on behalf of the companies, filed a case under
Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to seek a stay of
proceedings with respect to any actions which have or might be
brought against them in the United States.

Upon recognition by the U.S. Court, the action previously filed
against Ascalade by Riparius Ventures LLC will be stayed.  Any
creditors in the United States with claims against the companies
will eventually be able to file Proofs of Claim in the CCAA
proceeding once the Companies have filed a Plan of Arrangement
under the CCAA.

Any recovery in the CCAA for creditors and other stakeholders,
including shareholders, is uncertain and is highly dependent upon
a number of factors, including the recovery from the sale of the
Company's factory and equipment in the People's Republic of China
and the outcome of the Scheme of Arrangement in Hong Kong.

The company filed on March 3, 2008, a petition in the Supreme
Court of British Columbia under the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act, the Canada Business Corporations Act and the
British Columbia Business Corporations Act.

Based in Richmond, British Columbia, Ascalade Communications Inc.

ATLANTIS SYSTEMS: Working on Replacement of Defaulted Bank Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Atlantis Systems Corp. provided an update on the status of its
financing efforts.  Atlantis confirmed that it is continuing to
work diligently to close a financing that would replace its bank
term loan which is currently in default.

Atlantis confirmed that negotiations are ongoing with potential
lenders and that supporting and legal documents are expected to be
finalized next week.  However, as terms and conditions are still
under negotiation, there can be no assurance that any financing
will be completed.
    
On March 25, 2008, Atlantis reported that it will not be able to
meet the March 31, 2008 deadline for filing with the securities
regulatory authorities in Ontario and Quebec its annual financial
statements.

On April 1, 2008, the company confirmed that it has not met the
regulatory filing deadline of March 31, 2008 for filing of its
management’s discussion and analysis and annual information form
for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2007 and the related
certifications.

On April 7, 2008, Atlantis provided an update on the status of its
proposed financing and confirmed that the proposed new lender,
ComVest Capital LLC, has completed its due diligence and has
advised Atlantis that it intends to pursue the financing.

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on April 21, 2008,
Atlantis advised that the annual meeting of the company's
shareholders, which has been scheduled for May 22, 2008, will be
deferred to a later date to be determined once the annual filings
have been filed.  

As required by CSA Notice 57-301, Atlantis will provide bi-weekly
updates on the status of the failure to file its annual filings
until they have been filed.  An "issuer" cease trade order could
be issued if the annual filings are not filed before May 31, 2008.   
An "issuer" cease trade order may be imposed sooner if Atlantis
fails to provide bi-weekly updates.

BRIGANTINE HIGH: Moody's Cuts Four Ratings on Poor Credit Quality
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded and left on review for
possible further downgrade the rating of four classes of notes
issued by Brigantine High Grade Funding, Ltd.  The notes affected
by this rating action are:

Class Description: $500,000,000 Class A-1B Floating Rate Notes Due
2051

  -- Prior Rating: Baa2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: B2, on review for possible downgrade

Class Description: $100,000,000 Class A-1C Floating Rate Notes Due
2051

  -- Prior Rating: Baa2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: B2, on review for possible downgrade

Class Description: Up to $1,180,000,000 Class A-1AL Floating Rate
Notes Due 2007

  -- Prior Rating: Baa2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: B2, on review for possible downgrade

Class Description: Up to $100,000,000 Class A-1DL Floating Rate
Notes Due 2008

  -- Prior Rating: Baa2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: B2, on review for possible downgrade

The rating actions reflect deterioration in the credit quality of
the underlying portfolio, as well as the occurrence on April 7,
2008, as reported by the Trustee, of an event of default caused a
default in the payment of accrued interest on the Class A-2 and
Class B Notes, as described in Section 5.1(a) of the Indenture
dated Dec. 20, 2006.

As provided in Article V of the Indenture during the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, certain parties to the
transaction may be entitled to direct the Trustee to declare the
maturity of the notes to be accelerated and to commence the
process of sale and liquidation of the collateral.

The rating downgrades taken reflect the increased expected loss
associated with each tranche.  Losses are attributed to diminished
credit quality on the underlying portfolio.  The severity of
losses of certain tranches may be different, however, depending on
the remedy pursued following the event of default.  Because of
this uncertainty, the ratings assigned to the Class A-1AL, Class
A-1B, Class A-1C and Class A-1DL remain on review for possible
further action.

Brigantine High Grade Funding, Ltd. is a collateralized debt
obligation backed primarily by a portfolio of structured finance
securities.

CABLEVISION SYSTEMS: Eyes $650MM Offer for Tribune's Newsday Unit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cablevision Systems Corporation intends to acquire Newsday from
Tribune Company for about $650 million or $70 million more than
the previous offers of New York Post owner News Corp. and Daily
News owner Mortimer Zuckerman, The Wall Street Journal's  Vishesh
Kumar and Sam Schechner report.

According to WSJ, Cablevision's bid could lead to the auction of
the newspaper.  It will be the second proposal to counter an
informal agreement reached with News Corp., which values Newsday
at $580 million, WSJ notes.

WSJ, citing a person familiar with the situation, says the cable
operator and New York Observer owner Jared Kushner had been
talking about a joint bid, but it is unclear whether Cablevision
is working with Mr. Kushner in its offer.

Mr. Zuckerman was the first to counter News Corp.'s preliminary
deal, matching the $580 million offer for the paper last week, WSJ
relates.  

Cablevision's offer isn't only higher, it is also better as the
cable operator would likely face fewer regulatory barriers than
either News Corp. or Mr. Zuckerman, WSJ says.  Both rivals could
face tougher antitrust scrutiny due to their current New York
newspaper holdings, WSJ notes.

According to WSJ quoting Donald Baker, a former head of the
antitrust division at the U.S. Department of Justice: "I would
definitely think that Cablevision has more chance of sailing
through."

CAMULOS LOAN: Moody's Attaches 'Ba2' Rating on $24.5 Mil. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned these ratings to Notes issued
by Camulos Loan Vehicle I, Ltd.:

(1) Aaa to the $555,000,000 Class A Senior Term Notes Due 2018;

(2) Aa2 to the $46,750,000 Class B Senior Term Notes Due 2018;

(3) A2 to the $31,500,000 Class C Deferrable Mezzanine Term Notes
    Due 2018;

(4) Baa2 to the $20,500,000 Class D Deferrable Mezzanine Term
    Notes Due 2018; and

(5) Ba2 to the $24,500,000 Class E Deferrable Junior Term Notes
    Due 2018.

The Moody's ratings of the Notes address the ultimate cash receipt
of all required interest and principal payments, as provided by
the Notes' governing documents, and are based on the expected loss
posed to Noteholders, relative to the promise of receiving the
present value of such payments.

The ratings reflect the risks due to the diminishment of cash flow
from the underlying portfolio consisting of senior secured loans
and, second lien loans, senior secured bonds, senior unsecured
loans and senior unsecured bonds due to defaults, the
transaction's legal structure and the characteristics of the
underlying assets.

Camulos Capital LP will manage the selection, acquisition and
disposition of collateral on behalf of the Issuer.


CARRINGTON MORTGAGE: S&P Junks Rating on Class M-11 Certificates
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on four
classes of asset-backed pass-through certificates issued by
Carrington Mortgage Loan Trust's series 2005-NC3 and 2005-NC5.  In
addition, S&P affirmed its ratings on six classes from series
2004-NC1.
     
The downgrades reflect credit enhancement levels that are
insufficient to support the previous ratings given the level of
severe delinquencies for each of the transactions.
     
The transactions with lowered ratings have sizeable loan amounts
that are severely delinquent, which suggests that performance
trends are likely to deteriorate.  The severe delinquencies
relative to overcollateralization are (series: severe delinquency
amount {$}; % of current pool balance; multiple of O/C):

     -- 2005-NC3: $144.463 million; 24.33%; 2.74x; and
     -- 2005-NC5: $187.992 million; 31.97%; 5.18x.
     
These severely delinquent loan amounts have increased
significantly over levels from a year ago (series: multiple of
amount recorded in March 2007):

     -- 2005-NC3: 1.63x; and
     -- 2005-NC5: 2.14x.
     
As of the March 2008 remittance report, cumulative realized losses
for the deals were as follows (series: realized losses {$}; % of
original pool balance):

     -- 2005-NC3: $13,190,305; 0.74%; and
     -- 2005-NC5: $11,172,123; 0.83%.
     
Losses for the transactions with lowered ratings have been
relatively moderate to date; however, the increases in
delinquencies indicate that current performance trends may further
compromise credit support for the downgraded classes.
     
The affirmations reflect both current and projected credit support
percentages that meet or exceed the loss coverage levels for the
current ratings.  The other outstanding ratings on these
transactions are not affected.
     
Credit support for these transactions is provided through a
combination of subordination, excess interest, and O/C.  At
closing, collateral for the transactions consisted of loans that
were originated by New Century Mortgage Corp. and are a mix of
adjustable- and fixed-rate, interest-only and fully amortizing,
first- and second-lien subprime mortgage loans.  The deals with IO
loans had IO periods, which initially ranged from 36 to 84 months.

CHL MORTGAGE: Moody's Cuts 42 Tranches' Ratings on Delinquencies
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 42
tranches from fourteen Alt-A transactions issued by CHL Mortgage
Pass-Through Trust.  Thirteen tranches remain on review for
possible further downgrade.  Additionally, 62 tranches were placed
on review for possible downgrade.

The collateral backing these transactions consists primarily of
first-lien, fixed and adjustable-rate, Alt-A mortgage loans.  The
ratings were downgraded, in general, based on higher than
anticipated rates of delinquency, foreclosure, and REO in the
underlying collateral relative to credit enhancement levels.  The
actions are a result of Moody's on-going review process.

IndyMac INDX Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-AR13 on CreditWatch with
negative implications.
     
The CreditWatch placements reflect the rising amount of severely
delinquent loans in these series compared with the available
credit support.  S&P will continue to monitor these transactions
as more performance data becomes available.
     
The collateral for these transactions consists primarily of prime,
Alt-A, adjustable-rate, and fixed-rate first-lien mortgage loans

CHRYSLER LLC: Financial Results Are Better than Daimler's
---------------------------------------------------------
Since the acquisition of Chrysler LLC by affiliates of Cerberus
Capital Management, LP on Aug. 3, 2007, the company has enjoyed
positive operating earnings, Chrysler said in a news statement.

Chrysler related that Daimler AG reports Chrysler Holding LLC's
results on a one quarter lag based on International Financial
Reporting Standards, rather than U.S. GAAP which is utilized by
the company.  Due to that lag, the results disclosed by Daimler on
April 29 primarily relate to the fourth quarter of 2007.  The
results for Chrysler Holding LLC include both the automotive and
financial services operations.

There are significant differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP
accounting standards.  Major differences include the effects of
the acquisition of Chrysler Holding LLC by Cerberus, including
recent restructuring actions by Chrysler LLC and the accounting
for pension costs under the 2007 UAW contract.  Accordingly, the
2007 financial results of Chrysler LLC under U.S. GAAP are
substantially better than the IFRS-based financial results
utilized by Daimler.

The Wall Street Journal's Neal E. Boudette said Tuesday that
Daimler has cut by nearly two-thirds the book value of its 19.9%
stake in Chrysler.  Mr. Boudette said the move is a sign the
former U.S. unit continues to weigh on Daimler.  

Cerberus acquired an 80.1% stake in Chrysler in August.  At that
time, Mr. Boudette related, Daimler assigned its remaining stake a
value of EUR1.4 billion or $2.19 billion.  At the end of 2007,
Daimler lowered that to EUR916 million to reflect the impact of
losses Chrysler ran up after the deal.

According to Mr. Boudette, Chrysler's Chief Executive Robert
Nardelli said recently Chrysler will not be profitable in 2008.  
In March, Mr. Nardelli acknowledged the U.S. automaker isn't yet
generating positive cash flow, Mr. Boudette added.

Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, China, Japan and Australia.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 10, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its recovery rating on
Chrysler's $2 billion senior secured second-lien term loan due
2014.  The issue-level rating on this debt remains unchanged at
'B', and the recovery rating was revised to '3', indicating an
expectation for 50% to 70% recovery in the event of a payment
default, from '4'.

Both the issue-level and recovery ratings on Chrysler's $7 billion
first-lien term loan due 2013 remain unchanged.  The issue-level
rating on this debt is 'BB-' with a recovery rating of '1',
indicating an expectation for 90% to 100% recovery in the event of
a payment default.


CHRYSLER LLC: To Review Terms of CAW-Ford Tentative Agreement
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC will review the terms of a tentative agreement
between the Canadian Auto Workers union and Ford Motor Company of
Canada Ltd. to gain a better understanding of the economics put
forth in the Master Economics Offer.

Chrysler views the bargaining process with the CAW to be
confidential in nature, between the company and CAW, therefore it
refrains from discussing or negotiating details in the media.  

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 29, 2008,
following early background negotiations, Ford Canada and CAW
reached an agreement on a Master Economics Offer that will now
become the centerpiece of all-out collective bargaining aimed at
reaching a tentative agreement between the two sides later this
week.  For a full tentative agreement to be reached, agreement
also must now be attained on all local agreements, such as skilled
trades, health and safety.  That tentative agreement must then be
ratified by CAW members at all Canadian locations.  The current
collective agreement expires at midnight September 16.  The Master
Economics Offer was endorsed unanimously by members of the CAW-
Ford Master and local bargaining committees at a special meeting
in Toronto on Monday.

COLOWYO COAL: S&P Affirms 'BB' Rating on $192.8 Million Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB' rating on
Colowyo Coal Funding Corp.'s $192.8 million bonds due 2011 and
2016.  The outlook is negative.      

"The rating reflects the transaction's structural weakness caused
by a broadly defined force majeure clause," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Matthew Hobby.
     
During the first and second halves of 2007, the project recorded
debt service coverage ratios of 0.97x and 0.96x, respectively,
requiring about $780,000 of draws on its debt service reserve
letter of credit.  At Dec. 31, 2007, about $20.8 million of the
LOC remained, down from $21.7 million at Dec. 31, 2006.  A cash-
funded debt service reserve has been exhausted.  A DSCR of
slightly less than 1x is expected from time to time, requiring
moderate draws on the LOC.  
     
The Colowyo transaction securitizes the coal production payments
generated from two long-term coal sales contracts between the
Colowyo coal mine in Colorado and the Craig Station power
generating facility about 27 miles away by rail.  The Craig
Station contracts expire in 2017, after the debt matures.  A third
contract with the city of Colorado Springs expired at the end of
2004.  Colowyo is a special-purpose entity formed to securitize
the coal production payments generated from these contracts.  Cash
flow available for debt service is calculated as gross price per
ton of coal delivered (about $29 in 2007) minus transfer payments
to Colowyo per ton of coal delivered (about $20 in 2007).  Twice a
year, the contract pricing is adjusted according to inflation
indices.  Once every five years, the contract pricing is adjusted
to the market price, but the maximum adjustment each time is
limited to 15% of the base price.   
     
W.R. Grace & Co. (not rated) has committed to pay all unpaid
principal and interest in excess of the long-term coal contract
revenues and the debt service reserve (now exhausted), up to a
maximum of $25 million.  The LOC guarantees this commitment.  
Kennecott Colorado has committed to pay all operating and capital
costs of Colowyo Coal Co. L.P. Rio Tinto America (BBB+/Watch
Pos/A-2) has an ownership interest in Kennecott Colorado.  
     
If the Colowyo transaction had been more tightly structured, the
rating would have reflected the lowest of those on the
counterparties involved, using Standard & Poor's "weak-link"
approach.  However, because the project has some significant
structural weaknesses, its rating is considerably lower than those
on the counterparties.  The project's primary structural weakness
is a broadly defined force majeure clause contained in the coal
sales contracts that allows purchasers to take less coal during
force majeure events.  This weakness is problematic for the
project when the market price is substantially below the contract
price and coal purchasers have an incentive to take advantage of
this clause.  

In the late 1990s, when coal prices were depressed, Colowyo's coal
purchasers made a series of force majeure claims that drove the
DSCR from operations below 1x.  The project avoided a payment
default by tapping its debt service reserve, which is now
depleted.  Colowyo, through a legal challenge, was able to
invalidate many of the coal purchasers' force majeure claims, and,
as part of a 2000 settlement process, the purchasers agreed to a
tighter definition of a force majeure event.  The coal purchasers
have not made any significant force majeure claims since that
time, and the DSCR has remained close to 1x.  Nonetheless, the
project remains vulnerable because a forced outage at the
purchasers' power plant is still regarded as a force majeure
event.  As forced outages are not unusual, Colowyo could
experience further cash flow shortfalls that it would have to
supplement with the debt service reserve LOC.
     
The negative outlook reflects our concern that the debt service
reserve will continue to decline whenever the DSCR falls below 1x.  
When the DSCR rises above 1x, which could happen if market prices
for Colowyo coal continue to rise for an extended period of time,
then Colowyo must use any surplus cash flow to repay Rio Tinto,
the parent, for price support it has provided in the past to
maintain the DSCR at 1x.


COLUMBUS PARK: Moody's Puts 'Ba2' Rating on $13 Mil. Class D Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned these ratings to Notes issued
by Columbus Park CDO Ltd.:

(1) Aaa to the $288,000,000 Class A-1 Senior Secured Floating Rate
    Notes due 2020;

(2) Aa2 to the $19,000,000 Class A-2 Senior Secured Floating Rate
    Notes due 2020;

(3) A2 to the $19,000,000 Class B Senior Secured Deferrable
    Floating Rate Notes due 2020;

(4) Baa2 to the $12,000,000 Class C Senior Secured Deferrable
    Floating Rate Notes due 2020; and

(5) Ba2 to the $13,000,000 Class D Secured Deferrable Floating
    Rate Notes due 2020.

The Moody's ratings of the Notes address the ultimate cash receipt
of all required interest and principal payments, as provided by
the Notes' governing documents, and are based on the expected loss
posed to Noteholders, relative to the promise of receiving the
present value of such payments.

The ratings reflect the risks due to the diminishment of cash flow
from the underlying portfolio consisting of interests in bank
loans and high-yield debt securities due to defaults, the
transaction's legal structure and the characteristics of the
underlying assets.

GSO Debt Funds Management LLC will manage the selection,
acquisition and disposition of collateral on behalf of the Issuer.


COMMODORE INT'L: Dutch Subsidiary's Bankruptcy Case Cancelled
-------------------------------------------------------------
Commodore International Corp. reported that the court in
's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, has decided to rewind the
bankruptcy of Commodore International BV, a subsidiary of
Commodore International Corporation.

As a result of the court decision, the case has been concluded
successfully.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 24, 2008,
Commodore International Corp. was informed by the court in The
Netherlands that Commodore International B.V. was declared
bankrupt.

Both CIC and the petitioning party established that procedural
mistakes resulting in this judicial declaration were made
erroneously beyond CIC's control.  The petitioner and CIC had
already concluded a written and mutually confirmed an agreement
for the cancellation of the bankruptcy proceedings.

CONSOLIDATED CONTAINER: S&P Holds 'B-' Rating and Revises Outlook
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
Consolidated Container Co. LLC to stable from positive.  At the
same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on the company, including the
'B-' long-term corporate credit rating.
     
"The outlook revision reflects the company's weaker-than-expected
earnings performance and higher-than-expected debt leverage, both
of which reduce the likelihood of an upgrade over the near term,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Liley Mehta.
     
S&P expect the company's operating results in 2008 to remain
pressured by weaker demand in dairy, beverage, and food categories
as consumer spending is squeezed by higher energy costs, higher
food prices, and, to a certain extent, home-mortgage-related
costs.
     
The ratings on Consolidated Container and its wholly owned
subsidiary Consolidated Container Capital Inc. reflect its highly
leveraged financial profile, which overshadows its weak business
risk profile in the relatively stable beverage and consumer
product packaging markets.
     
Atlanta, Georgia-based Consolidated Container has annual revenues
of about $850 million and is a domestic producer of rigid plastic
containers for dairy products, water, juice, and other beverages;
food, household, and agricultural chemicals; and motor oil.  The
company derives about 59% of its revenues from dairy, water, and
juice packaging, which are relatively commodity-type products and
have mature demand patterns.


CORNERSTONE MINISTRIES: U.S. Trustee Wants Examiner Appointed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Donald F. Walton, the U.S. Trustee for Region 21, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia to appoint
an examiner to investigate alleged misconduct and irregularity in
the management of the affairs of Cornerstone Ministries
Investments Inc. by its current and former officers.

The examiner is expected to determine whether certain management
decisions made by the Debtor's officers would be declared as
fraud.

The U.S. Trustee alleges that two of the Debtor's officers and
two eNable Business Solutions Inc. -- fka Cornerstone Capital
Advisors Inc., as investment and financial advisor -- each
acquired an 18% ownership interest in Wellstone LLC, the Debtor's
largest borrower in September 2006.  The outstanding principal on
the loans to Wellstone reached $76 million on Sept. 30, 2007.  In
addition, three of the loans with outstanding principal of
$6,574,991 was added after Wellstone became a related party.

The U.S. Trustee says that the Debtor has transfered at least $11
million in loans in the aggregate to wholly owned subsidiaries of
Cornerstone Group Holdings Inc.

                        Regulatory Filing

According to the Debtor's regulatory filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Debtor suffered a $417,183 net
operating loss during the nine month period ending Sept. 30, 2007,
compared with a $606,658 net operating income a year earlier.  
Despite the loss, the Debtor was able to dole out dividends of at
least $517,931 to shareholders during the nine month ended
Sept. 30, 2007.

The Debtor's regulatory filing indicates that the advisory fees
payable to eNable Business rose from $1,085,322, for the nine
months ended Sept. 30, 2006, to $1,239,174 for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2007, an increase of $153,842.

The Debtor experienced cash shortfalls in September, October and
November of 2007, according to the Debtor's President and Chief
Executive Officer John T. Ottinger, Jr., in an affidavit filed
on Feb. 13, 2008.  As of Nov. 12, 2007, "[the Debtor] had
approximately $8.5 million in real estate loan draw request
which it was not able to fund and $300,000 in bond redemption
commitments from October 2007 that it was holding pending receipt
of cash," Mr. Ottinger said.

CORPORACION DURANGO: Poor Business Cues Fitch to Cut IDRs to B-
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded these credit ratings of Corporacion
Durango S.A. de C.V.:

  -- Foreign Currency Issuer Default Rating to 'B-' from 'B';
  -- Local Currency IDR to 'B-' from 'B';
  -- Notes due in 2017 to 'B/RR3' from 'B+/RR3'.

All of the above ratings have been placed on Rating Watch
Negative.

The downgrades reflect the deterioration of the company's business
and financial profile during the latest 12 months ended March 31,
2008.  The Rating Watch Negative indicates that the rating could
be downgraded further in the near term if the company's cash flow
does not recover.  Durango generated $83 million of EBITDA during
the LTM ended March 31, 2008, a decline from $128 million of
EBITDA during the LTM ended March 31, 2007.  The company's EBITDA
fell sharply to $13 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008,
from $21 million during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Durango is facing financial pressure due to rising input costs for
old corrugated containers, a key raw material; OCC prices have
escalated during the past 12 months due to the aggressive
purchases of OCC in the U.S. by the Chinese.  Durango has also
been hurt by rising energy costs.  The increase in these two
costs, plus other factors, have led to a rise in the company's
per-ton unit cost to $583 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
from $506 during the same quarter in 2007.  Price increases have
not offset these costs increases, as Durango's prices have risen
on average by only $29 per ton during this time period.

As of March 31, 2008, Durango had $56 million of cash and
marketable securities and $538 million of total debt.  The
company's debt consists of $14 million of short-term debt and
$524 million of long-term debt.  Of the company's long-term debt,
$508 million is due in October 2017.  Managing liquidity will
become a crucial issue for the company during the next 12 months
if prices do not increase sharply or costs decline.  Durango's
cash position was reduced in April 2008 when the company made
interest payments of approximately $27 million.  To preserve cash,
Durango has extended its trade accounts payable to $122 million as
of March 31, 2008 from $101 million as of Dec. 31, 2007.

An issue rating of 'RR3' is consistent with an anticipated
recovery in the event of default of between 51% and 70%.


COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL: BofA Promises More Aid to Stop Foreclosures
------------------------------------------------------------------
A Bank of America N.A. executive disclosed that the bank will do
more to help borrowers of Countrywide Financial Corp. avert home
foreclosures, the Associated Press reports.

Specifically, BofA will modify $40 billion in problems loans from
265,000 borrowers in two years' time, the AP relates, citing
Countrywide executive Liam E. McGee.

BofA revealed this course of action as the Board of the U.S.
Federal Reserve held a two-day meeting with both parties on BofA's
$4.1 billion takeover of Countrywide.  As reported in the Troubled
Company Reporter on Apr. 1, 2008, the Federal Reserve aimed to
determine whether or not the purchase will "benefit the public".

CSFB ABS: S&P Puts Default Rating on Class B 2001-HE16 Certs.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on the
class M-1, M-2, and B mortgage pass-through certificates from CSFB
ABS Trust Series 2001-HE16.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its  
rating on one additional class from this transaction as well as
the ratings on three classes from Credit Suisse First Boston
Mortgage Securities Corp.'s series 2004-FRE1.
     
The downgrades reflect realized losses that continue to exceed
monthly excess interest cash flow.  This has reduced
overcollateralization for series 2001-HE16 to zero and caused a
principal write-down of $87,984.70 to the class B certificates
during the March 2008 remittance period.  Series 2001-HE16 has
sizable loan amounts that are severely delinquent, suggesting that
the unfavorable performance trend will continue.  Severe
delinquencies for series 2001-HE16 total $3.798 million, or 26.39%
of the current pool balance, and cumulative realized losses amount
to $12,323,438, or 4.36% of the original pool balance.  The
average loss severity for the loans that have been liquidated from
this transaction over the past 12 months is 72%.
     
As of the March 2008 remittance period, severe delinquencies for
series 2004-FRE1 were $4.997 million, or 20.9% of the current pool
balance; this is 1.33x the current O/C of $3.745 million.  O/C is
97% of its target amount of $3,857,976.  The 12-month average loss
severity for liquidated loans from series 2004-FRE1 is 43%.  
Cumulative losses for series 2004-FRE1 total $3,199,254, or 0.41%
of the original pool balance.
     
The affirmations on the non-bond-insured classes reflect current
and projected credit support levels sufficient to maintain the
current ratings.  The affirmed 'AAA' rating on class A from series
2001-HE16 reflects bond insurance provided by Financial Security
Assurance Inc. ('AAA' financial strength rating).
     
Subordination, O/C, and excess interest cash flow provide credit
support for these transactions.  Furthermore, the class A
certificates have additional support from the bond insurance
policy provided by Financial Security Assurance Inc.  The
collateral for this transaction consists of closed-end, fixed- and
adjustable-rate first-lien mortgage loans with original terms to
maturity of no more than 30 years.

Delphi entered into a purchase agreement with Kyklos, which
follows Kyklos being declared the successful bidder in an auction

EINSTEIN NOAH: Board Approves 2008 Bonus Plan for Executives
------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group approved
a 2008 bonus plan, according to a Securities and Exchange
Commission filing.  The purpose of this plan is to incentivize  
executives to drive company financial results and to directly link
executive compensation to those financial results.  Each executive
is eligible for a bonus based on Adjusted EBITDA performance.

Under the 2008 Bonus Plan, 85% of the bonus is based solely on
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
after certain adjustments are made and 15% on individual
performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined for purposes of the 2008
Bonus Plan as: EBITDA adjusted up (or down) to exclude the
following items:  Loss (gain) on sale, disposal or abandonment of
assets, net; Charges (adjustments) of integration and
reorganization costs; Impairment charges and other elated costs;
(Other income); Prepayment penalties and debt repayment costs; and
Stock-based compensation expense.

To be eligible for the company Performance Portion or the
Individual Performance Portion of the bonus, the company must
achieve a minimum threshold level of Adjusted EBITDA.  Once the
minimum threshold level is met, increasing percentages of bonuses
are earned based upon the degree to which actual Adjusted EBITDA
exceeds the minimum threshold level.  If performance far exceeds
certain Board approved scaled goals, additional bonuses may be
paid at the discretion of the board upon recommendation of the
Compensation Committee.  The Adjusted EBITDA minimum threshold
level and scale for 2008 represented growth goals for the Company
were set to challenge named executive officers to achieve those
results.

The potential bonus percentage based on the base salary for each
NEO for 2008 bonuses is: CEO 100%; COO and CMO 75%; CFO and GC
60%.

EMPIRE LAND: Turns Over Stake in Palmdale Project to Lessen Debt
----------------------------------------------------------------
Empire Land LLC entered into an agreement with Cadim Note Inc.,
its secured lender, to transfer its interest in Palmdale, a
partially completed community, the Los Angeles Times reports.

LA Times says Empire Land will get a release from the lender and
reduce its debts to about $100 million.

Empire Land joins at a dozen home builders that sought protection
from creditors in the last 10 months as home sales and prices
plummeted, LA Times notes.

"A severe tightening or loss of financing for the entitling and
development of land, and the resulting pressures that were placed
on the debtors' cash flows, helped prompt the bankruptcy filing,"
LA Times quoting Empire Land's chief financial officer, Neil
Miller, as saying.

LA Times adds that the company requested more time from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Riverside to provide specific financial
information.

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Empire Land LLC dba Empire Land
Development LLC -- http://www.epinc.com/-- belongs to the "The  
Empire Companies", a group of residential land, homebuilding and
financing companies that develop master-planned communities
and other land and construction projects located in California and
Arizona.  The company has over a hundred affiliates.

The Debtor and its debtor-affiliates filed for Chapter 11
protection on April 25, 2008, (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No.: 08-
14592 to 08-14615)  James Stang, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl &
Jones LLP, represents the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.   
As of the bankruptcy filing, Empire Land disclosed estimated
assets and debts of $100 million to $500 million.


ENHANCED MORTGAGE: Moody's Reviews 'Ba3' Rating on $20 Mil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of three classes
of notes issued by Enhanced Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund III,
Ltd., a market value CDO issuer:

(1) $130,000,000 Class A-1 Senior Notes Due August 2008

  -- Current Rating: Aa2, on review for downgrade
  -- Prior Rating: Aaa, on review for downgrade

(2) $14,000,000 Class A-2 Senior Subordinated Notes Due August
    2008

  -- Current Rating: Baa2, on review for downgrade
  -- Prior Rating: A2, on review for downgrade

(3) $20,000,000 Class A-3 Subordinated Notes Due August 2008

  -- Current Rating: B2, on review for downgrade
  -- Prior Rating: Ba3, on review for downgrade

Moody's noted that the rating action takes into account the
current stressful market conditions and continued price declines
in the market value of the collateral in recent weeks.  While the
underlying assets are highly rated mortgage backed securities, the
unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the market for
mortgage backed securities has created a high level of uncertainty
around the valuation of these assets.

says Mr. Mochnal and about 350 employees of the Debtor were
terminated on April 26, 2008, without cause.  The employees and
Mr. Mochnal were not given 60 days advance written notice of their
termination by the Debtor, as set forth in the Worker Adjustment

employee benefits under ERISA.  Mr. Mochnal worked as director of
global sales at the Debtor's corporate headquarters located at 287
Bowman Avenue in Purchase, New York.

ESMARK INC: Gets Nasdaq Non-compliance Notice on 10-K Filing Delay
------------------------------------------------------------------
Esmark Incorporated confirmed that, due to the failure to timely
file its 2007 annual report on form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, it received from Nasdaq on April 24, 2008, a
Staff Determination letter stating that the company is not in
compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) for continued
listing.
    
On April 1, 2008, the company previously disclosed that it was
unable to timely file its annual report on form 10-K for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2007 without unreasonable effort or expense because
finalization of the financial statements had been delayed due to
the complexity of accounting to the business combination of the
company, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corporation and Esmark Steel Service
Group Inc. consummated on Nov. 27, 2007.  While the company has
been diligently preparing its annual report on form 10-K, it was
nonetheless unable to file its form 10-K on the extended filing
date.
    
The Staff Determination Letter states that Nasdaq would suspend
trading of the company's common stock at the opening of business
on April 28, 2008, and file a form 25-NSE with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to remove the company's securities from
listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market unless the
company requests an appeal of the Determination with the Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Panel in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace
Rules.

The company has requested such an appeal, automatically staying
the suspension of the company's common stock and the delisting and
deregistration from The Nasdaq Stock Market, pending the issuance
of a written decision by the Panel.  While the company expects the
notice of delisting would be withdrawn by Nasdaq in the event the
company files its form 10-K before the hearing date, there can be
no assurance, if a meeting of the hearing panel is held, that the
hearing panel will grant the company's request for continued
listing.
    
In addition, on April 18, 2008, the company entered into an
amendment with GE Corporate Lending that effectively exercised its
option to extend the maturity date of its revolvers to May 31,
2008 for Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation and Esmark Steel
Service Group Inc.  Wheeling-Pittsburgh and Esmark Steel may also
further extend the maturity date of its revolvers up to Sept. 30,
2008, provided that any further extension is 60 days prior to the
maturity date of Wheeling-Pittsburgh's term loan.

The company currently expects that it may receive a going concern
opinion in connection with its 2007 form 10-K.  The company
continues to evaluate all strategic alternatives and opportunities
that could enhance liquidity and shareholder value.

EXTRA SPACE: Failed ARS Auctions Move Liquidity, Spurs $1.4MM Loss
------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra Space Storage Inc. outlined in the company's quarterly and
annual filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, that the
company has previously invested excess cash in highly-rated, AAA
or AA, ARS for the purposes of liquidity and capital preservation.
The ARS held by the company included long-term contractual
securities and perpetual securities for which the interest rates
were reset through auctions every seven, 28 or 35 days.  The
auctions have historically provided a liquid market for ARS.

During the year ended Dec. 31, 2007, the auctions associated with
the ARS held by the company failed.  These failures impacted the
liquidity and value of the ARS.  On Feb. 29, 2008, the company
liquidated the remainder of its holdings in ARS for $21.8 million
in cash.  The amount represented the broker-dealer's estimated
fair market value of the securities as of Jan. 31, 2008.  The
company has retained its rights to pursue the recovery of the
amounts lost.

As a result of the liquidation of ARS, the company recorded a loss
on the sale of investments available for sale of approximately
$1.4 million to the company's income statement for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.  The loss recorded is in addition to
the $1.2 million other-than-temporary impairment recorded for the
three months ended Dec. 31, 2007.  As of March 31, 2008, the
company no longer holds any investments in ARS.

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Extra Space Storage Inc.
(NYSE:EXR) -- http://www.extraspace.com/-- is a self-administered  
and self-managed real estate investment trust that operates in two
segments: property management, acquisition and development, and

include rental operations of self-storage facilities.  As of
Dec. 31, 2007, the company held ownership interests in 606
properties located in 33 states and Washington with an aggregate
of approximately 44 million square feet of net rentable space and
approximately 300,000 customers.  Of these 606 properties, 260 are
wholly owned and 346 are owned in joint-venture partnerships. An
additional 45 properties are owned by franchisees or third parties

bringing total properties owned and managed by the company to 651.

FINLAY ENTERPRISES: Has Until July 1 to Comply with Nasdaq Rules
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Nasdaq Stock Market has provided Finlay Enterprises Inc. until
July 1, 2008, to regain compliance with the minimum requirement
for the company's common stock to maintain a $5 million minimum
market value of publicly held shares.  

Previously, the company received notification from The Nasdaq
Stock that it is not in compliance with the continued listing
requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(2) because, for the
last 30 consecutive trading days, the company's common stock has
not maintained a minimum market value of publicly held shares of
$5 million.

To meet this minimum requirement, the market value of the
company's publicly held shares must maintain a market value of
publicly held shares of $5 million or greater for a minimum of ten
consecutive trading days.

If compliance cannot be demonstrated by July 1, 2008, Nasdaq will
provide written notification to the company that its securities
will be delisted.  At that time, the company will be permitted to
appeal Nasdaq's determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.

In addition, the company received notification from Nasdaq that
the company is not in compliance with the continued listing
requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) because, for the
last 30 consecutive trading days, the bid price for the company's
common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share
requirement.

In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the company was
provided 180 calendar days, until Oct. 6, 2008, to regain
compliance with this minimum requirement.  To meet this minimum
requirement, the bid price of the company's common stock must
close at $1 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days or a longer period of time as Nasdaq may require in
its discretion.

If compliance cannot be demonstrated by Oct. 6, 2008, Nasdaq will
provide written notification to the company that its securities
will be delisted.  At that time, the company will be permitted to
appeal Nasdaq's determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.

The company intends to monitor the market value of its listed
securities and to consider available options if its common stock
does not trade at a level likely to result in the company
regaining compliance with the minimum market value of publicly
held shares requirement and the minimum bid price requirement by
the applicable deadlines.

G-I HOLDINGS: Wants Plan Filing Period Extended to Oct. 30
----------------------------------------------------------
G-I Holdings Inc. and its debtor-affiliate, ACI, Inc., ask the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey to extend,
until Oct. 30, 2008, the exclusive period wherein they can file a
plan of reorganization.

In addition, the Debtors ask the Court to extend their deadline to
solicit acceptances of that plan until Dec. 30, 2008.

This is the Debtors' 11th extension request.

The Debtors believe that the extension requested will greatly
promote and facilitate the achievement of a consensual plan.  The
Debtors note that their Chapter 11 cases have been fraught with a
considerable amount of litigation between them, on the one hand,
and the Asbestos Claimants Committee and a legal representative,
on the other hand, regarding the assertion of various claims and
causes of action against its subsidiary, Building Materials
Corporation of America.

The parties initiated a mediation in an effort to resolve the
ongoing disputes in these Chapter 11 cases, letting them pursue a
global settlement agreement.

To avoid the incurrence of additional expenses on litigation that
would be eliminated if the global settlement were effectuated, the
parties requested a stay of litigation from the Court and other
courts with jurisdiction over litigation related to these Chapter
11 cases that is subject to the settlement discussions.  The
Bankruptcy Court granted the stay in this and in subsequent
orders.  Other courts which had jurisdiction followed suit.

Subsequent to the entry of the stay orders, the parties continued
to engage in good-faith, arm's-length negotiations regarding a
consensual plan.  The Debtors believe these negotiations were very
productive.

Accordingly, the Debtors contend that exclusivity should be
extended in order to continue good faith progress in their
negotiations.  The Debtors remind the Court that terminating
exclusivity at this juncture provides no benefits as a confirmable
plan cannot be proposed by any party absent an estimation of G-I's
aggregate asbestos liability and a resolution of the successor
liability issues.

                        About G-I Holdings

Based in Wayne, New Jersey, G-I Holdings, Inc., is a holding
company that indirectly owns Building Materials Corporation of
America, a manufacturer of premium residential and commercial
roofing products.

The company filed for chapter 11 protection on Jan. 5, 2001
(Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 01-30135).  An affiliate, ACI, Inc.,
filed its own voluntary chapter 11 petition on Aug. 3,
2001.  The cases were consolidated on Oct. 10, 2001.  Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP, and Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland &
Perretti LLP, represent the Debtors.  Lowenstein Sandler PC
represents the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

C. Judson Hamlin was appointed by the Court as the Legal
Representative for Present and Future Holders of Asbestos Related
Demands.  Keating, Muething & Klekamp, PLL, represents the
Futures Representative.

quarter of 2008, marked by improved adjusted automotive operating
performance, rapid growth in emerging markets, continued cost
performance in GM North America (GMNA) operations and liquidity of
nearly $24 billion, despite the impact of the American Axle &
Manufacturing Holdings Inc. strike on North American operations
and weakness in the U.S. auto industry.

GM reported a net loss of $3.3 billion in the first quarter of
2008, compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $42
million in the year-ago quarter.

"We continue to leverage our global product portfolio to take
advantage of tremendous growth in key emerging markets, while at
the same time taking the appropriate actions to deal with the
challenging economic conditions in the U.S.," GM Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, Rick Wagoner said.

Adjusted automotive earnings before taxes were $392 million, up
$161 million despite the significant impact of the American Axle
strike and weak U.S. auto industry (reported earnings declined
$118 million).  These positive results were driven by strong
combined earnings before taxes of $1 billion in GM Latin America,
Africa and Middle East (GMLAAM), GM Asia Pacific (GMAP) and GM
Europe (GME), which more than offset a loss at GMNA.

Excluding special items, GM posted an adjusted net loss of
$350 million in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting losses at
GMAC and tax expenses.  These results compare to an adjusted net
loss from continuing operations of $10 million in the first
quarter of 2007.

The reported results for the first quarter of 2008 include
unfavorable special items totaling $2.9 billion.  The charges
include $1.45 billion to record a non-cash partial impairment of
our equity investment in GMAC.  Based on current market pricing,
GM concluded that the estimated fair value of the common and
preferred equity interests it holds in GMAC were approximately
$1.45 billion less than GM's carrying value.

GM also took a non-cash charge of $731 million to increase GM's
liability for estimated net costs associated with GM's support of
Delphi's bankruptcy and restructuring efforts.  This charge
primarily results from updated estimates reflecting uncertainty
around the nature, value and timing of GM's recoveries.  In
addition, GM recorded $394 million in non-cash tax-related
valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets in Europe, and
$324 million in charges related to restructuring actions in North
America and Europe.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was $42.7 billion,
down slightly from $43.4 billion in the year-ago quarter primarily
due to lower North America automotive and financial services and
insurance revenues.  Automotive revenues outside of North America
were up over 20%, with strong growth in China, Brazil, Russia and
India.

                     GM Automotive Operations

Adjusted profits from GM's global automotive operations improved,
with first quarter 2008 earnings before tax of $392 million on an
adjusted basis (reported earnings before tax of $68 million),
compared to $231 million in the year-ago period (reported earnings
before tax of $186 million).

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 25, 2008, GM
sold 2.25 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2008, down less
than 1% from 2.27 million units in the first quarter 2007, with a
record 64% of sales outside of the United States.  Unit sales
outside GMNA were up 8% compared with the same quarter last year.  
Robust sales in the first quarter in GM's GMLAAM and GMAP regions,
and improved sales in the GME region helped offset a 10% unit
decline in GMNA.

GMNA revenue for the first quarter 2008 was $24.5 billion,
compared to $28.1 billion in the year-ago period.  The decline in
GMNA first quarter revenue was significantly impacted by the lost
production due to the American Axle strike.  Other factors include
a softer U.S. market and planned actions to maintain lean
inventories.  With the industry shift toward more fuel-efficient
vehicles, GM's most recently launched passenger cars and
crossovers, including the Cadillac CTS, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave
and the all-new Chevrolet Malibu continue to perform well in the
marketplace.

The decline in GMNA first quarter earnings was more than accounted
for by the loss of 100,000 production units resulting from the
American Axle strike, which had an estimated impact to earnings of
$0.8 billion.  Other factors included lower volumes resulting from
a softer U.S. market and lower market share, as well as shifts in
product mix.  Partially offsetting the declines were favorable
material and structural cost performance and commodity hedging
gains and foreign exchange.

GME Revenue was up 17% and adjusted earnings before tax improved
by $137 million.  GME's improved earnings for the first quarter
were driven by improved material cost performance, commodity
hedging gains and reduced warranty costs, which were partially
offset by negative foreign exchange and unfavorable country mix.  
GME had record first-quarter sales volumes of 572,000 units.

Adjusted earnings before tax in the GMLAAM region more than
doubled in the first quarter of 2008, driven by continued strong
market growth and gains in GM market share in the region.  GMLAAM
revenue was up over 33 percent and volumes were up 20%, setting
new first-quarter records for both unit sales and revenue.  In
addition, Argentina, Egypt and North Africa each set new quarterly
sales records.

GMAP adjusted earnings before tax increased by 49%, driven by
strong volume and improvements in material cost performance, which
were partially offset by mix and pricing deterioration and
increased structural costs incurred to support growth.  Revenue
and earnings before tax improved significantly due to the overall
volume gains, although market share was down slightly primarily
due to declines in China, Australia and Korea.

                          Cash and Liquidity

Cash, marketable securities, and readily-available assets of the
Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association trust totaled
$23.9 billion on March 31, 2008, down from $24.7 billion on
March 31, 2007.  The change in liquidity reflects adjusted
negative operating cash flow of $3.6 billion in the first quarter
2008.  The decrease was driven largely by lower production in
GMNA, including the impact of the American Axle strike.  Including
undrawn, committed U.S. credit facilities of approximately $7
billion, GM has access to more than $30 billion in liquidity.

                           Looking Forward

In light of the current state of the U.S. economy and automotive
industry, GM has revised its 2008 U.S. total industry seasonally
adjusted annual rate outlook to the mid to high 15 million unit
range, down from the low 16 million unit range.  As a result of
the anticipated softer automotive industry, GM disclosed earlier
this week that it will eliminate a shift of production at four
assembly plants: Janesville, Wisconsin; Pontiac and Flint,
Michigan, and Oshawa, Ontario.

"We remain focused on taking the actions necessary to assure GM's
long-term success -- product excellence, leadership in advanced
propulsion technology, growth in emerging markets, and
accelerating the restructuring of our U.S. business to achieve
sustainable profitability," Mr. Wagoner said.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 26, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed the ratings on General
Motors Corp., American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc., Lear
Corp., and Tenneco Inc. on CreditWatch with negative implications.   
The CreditWatch placement reflects S&P's decision to review the
ratings in light of the extended American Axle (BB/Watch Neg/--)
strike.
     
The work stoppage that began Feb. 25 at American Axle's U.S.
United Auto Workers plants has forced closure of many GM (B/Watch
Neg/B-3) plants, as well as plants of certain GM suppliers.  The
strike began after the expiration of the four-year master labor
agreement with American Axle.  Although S&P still expects American
Axle and the UAW to reach an agreement that will reflect more
competitive labor costs, the timing is unknown.

To resolve the CreditWatch listings, S&P's will assess the
strike's impact on the companies' credit profiles, particularly
liquidity, once production resumes.  S&P could lower the ratings
any time prior to a resolution of the Axle strike if the liquidity
of the companies becomes compromised, although downgrades are not
likely for another several weeks.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 28, 2008,
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Issuer Default Rating of General
Motors at 'B', with a Rating Outlook Negative.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 9, 2007,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed its rating for General Motors
Corporation (B3 Corporate Family Rating, Ba3 senior secured, Caa1
senior unsecured and SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating) but
changed the outlook to Stable from Positive.  In an environment of
weakening prospects for US auto sales GM has announced that it
will take a non-cash charge of $39 billion for the third quarter
of 2007 related to establishing a valuation allowance against its
deferred tax assets in the US, Canada and Germany.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 23, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating and other ratings on General Motors Corp. and
removed them from CreditWatch with positive implications, where
they were placed Sept. 26, 2007, following agreement on the new
labor contract.  The outlook is stable.


GENERATION RESOURCES: Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Protection
---------------------------------------------------------------
Generation Resources Holding Co. filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
petition to relieve itself of monetary obligations, the Kansas
City Business Journal reports.

According to KCBJ, the company owns personal property with value
that could hardly pay about $6 million unsecured nonpriority
claims to creditors.

KCBJ, citing the Court records, relates that Black & Veatch Corp.
holds a $2.2 million claim against Generation Resources in the
form of a contingent interest promissory note, while two community
foundations in Pennsylvania also hold an evenly divided promissory
note against the company worth $2.6 million.

Freestream Capital LLC, which has a $1 million contract with
Generation Resources, also holds an unsecured claim, KCBJ notes.

Headquartered in Leawood, Kansas, Generation Resources Holding Co.
-- http://www.grhc.biz/-- was building or had built several wind-
energy projects in Pennsylvania.


GLOBAL PREF: S&P Cuts Preferred Shares Rating to B from B+
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Global
Credit Pref. Corp.'s preferred shares and removed them from
CreditWatch with negative implications, where they were placed
April 11, 2008.
     
The lowering of the ratings mirrors the lowering of the rating on
the credit-linked note to which the preferred shares are linked.

GMAC 2005-C1: Fitch Junks Ratings on Three Certificate Classes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgraded seven classes of GMAC 2005-C1 commercial
mortgage pass-through certificates and removed them from Rating
Watch Negative:

  -- $20 million class H to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
  -- $6 million class J to 'BB' from 'BB+';
  -- $6 million class K to 'B+' from 'BB';
  -- $8 million class L to 'B-' from 'BB-';
  -- $4 million class M to 'CCC/DR1' from 'B+';
  -- $4 million class N to 'CC/DR3' from 'B';
  -- $4 million class O to 'C/DR6' from 'B-/DR1'.

In addition, Fitch affirmed these classes:

  -- $298.8 million class A-1A at 'AAA';
  -- $296.9 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $187.3 million class A-3 at 'AAA';
  -- $68.1 million class A-4 at 'AAA';
  -- $157.4 million class A-5 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class X-1 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class X-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $159.8 million class A-M at 'AAA';
  -- $127.8 million class A-J at 'AAA';
  -- $34.0 million class B at 'AA';
  -- $12.0 million class C at 'AA-';
  -- $24.0 million class D at 'A';
  -- $16.0 million class E at 'A-';
  -- $16.0 million class F at 'BBB+';
  -- $16.0 million class G at BBB'.

The downgrades to classes H through O are due to projected losses
on the largest specially serviced asset (1.7%).  These classes
were placed on Rating Watch Negative due to an updated value on
the largest specially serviced asset.  Anticipated losses have
become more precisely defined as the disposition process of this
asset has progressed.

Currently, there are three (2.2%) specially serviced assets, the
largest of which is the tenth largest non-defeased loan in the
transaction.  The property is a parking garage in downtown
Detroit, Michigan.  The asset has had a significant decline in
revenue since issuance, became real estate owned in September
2007, and is listed for sale.  An updated appraisal has indicated
a significant decrease in value of this asset.

The two other specially serviced loans (0.5%) are collateralized
by retail properties that were owned by the same borrower.  A
court appointed fiscal agent is expected to sell the collateral.  
The loans remain current and losses are not expected at this time.  
The affirmations of classes A-1A through G are a result of stable
credit enhancement due to recent defeasance despite expected and
realized losses on specially serviced assets.  As of the April
2008 distribution date, the transaction has been reduced by 7.4%
to $1.48 billion from $1.60 billion at issuance.  In total, three
loans (13.0%) have defeased since issuance, including the largest
loan (12.2%) in the transaction.


GSC ABS: Eroding Credit Quality Cues Moody's Rating Downgrades
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded and left on review for
possible further downgrade the ratings on these notes issued by
GSC ABS CDO 2006-1c, Ltd.:

Class Description: $54,000,000 Class A-1 Floating Rate Senior
Secured Notes Due 2046

  -- Prior Rating: A1, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: Baa2, on review for possible downgrade

Junior Subordinate Secured Notes Due 2046

  -- Prior Rating: Ba2, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: Caa1, on review for possible downgrade

According to Moody's, the rating actions reflect increased
deterioration in the credit quality of the underlying portfolio.


GSR MORTGAGE: High Delinquencies Prompt S&P to Lower Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on six
classes of mortgage pass-through certificates from GSR Mortgage
Loan Trust 2005-AR2.  At the same time, the lowered rating on
class 2B4 is removed from CreditWatch negative.  Additionally, S&P   
affirmed its ratings on 10 classes from the same transaction.
     
The lowered ratings reflect negative projected credit support due
to high delinquencies and adverse collateral performance.  Based
on the dollar amount of loans currently in the delinquency
pipeline for loan group 5 from series 2005-AR2, losses are
projected to further reduce credit enhancement.  Class 2B4
experienced a principal write-down in January 2008, which prompted
the downgrade to 'D'.  S&P downgraded classes 2B2 and 2B3 to 'BBB'
from 'AA' and to 'CCC' from 'A+', respectively.  The downgrades
affecting loan group 6 from series 2005-AR2 reflect a high
percentage of properties in the pool that either are in
foreclosure or are classified as real estate owned.  S&P  
downgraded classes 1B3, 1B4, and 1B5 to 'BBB' from 'BBB+', to 'B'
from 'BB', and to 'CCC' from 'B', respectively.  Total
delinquencies were 8.37% (group 5) and 5.55% (group 6) of the
current loan group balances.
     
The affirmations reflect actual and projected credit enhancement
percentages that are sufficient to support the current ratings.  
Credit support for this transaction is provided by a senior-
subordinate structure.     

The collateral backing the certificates originally consisted of
15- to 30-year prime fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans
secured by one- to four-family residential properties.

HARBOURVIEW CDO: Moody's Cuts Ratings on $311.25 Mil. Notes to B3

Moody's Investors Service downgraded the rating on these notes
issued by Harbourview CDO III, Limited:

Class Description: $311,250,000 Class A First Priority Senior
Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2031

  -- Prior Rating: A3, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: B3

According to Moody's, the rating action reflects increased
deterioration in the credit quality of the underlying portfolio.


INSIGHT MIDWEST: Insight, Comcast Division Cues Moody's B1 Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 corporate family rating
for Insight Midwest Holdings, LLC and withdrew the former B1 CFR
for its parent company Insight Communications Company, Inc.  

The rating action reflects completion of the division of the
former partnership between Insight and certain affiliates of
Comcast Corporation in which both companies had previously held a
50% interest in Insight Midwest, LP, the intermediate holding
company for the rated issuer Insight Midwest.  Proforma for the
permanent repayment of publicly held bonds at Insight and Insight
Midwest LP (and the consequent removal of the former junior
capital debt cushion underlying the remaining bank debt
obligations), the ratings for which have already been withdrawn,
and in conjunction with Moody's LGD Methodology for the now
substantially "all-bank-debt" capital structure, the recovery
expectation and probability of default assumption for the rated
enterprise have each shifted to above-average outcomes, resulting
in rating downgrades as highlighted below.

The rating outlook has, however, been changed to positive from
stable, reflecting the broadly improved operating performance of
the company and notwithstanding the heightened risks associated
with it now operating as a smaller entity in the absence of the
benefits afforded by the former Comcast affiliate relationship.  
As part of the rating action, Moody's has also withdrawn the
speculative grade liquidity rating for Insight as the Company will
no longer be filing public financial statements.

A summary of ratings actions:

Insight Communications Company, Inc. (Insight)

  -- Corporate Family Rating: Withdrawn (formerly B1)

  -- Probability of default rating: Withdrawn (formerly B1)

  -- Outlook: Withdrawn (formerly Stable)

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating: Withdrawn
     (formerly SGL-2)

Insight Midwest Holdings, LLC (Insight Midwest)

  -- Corporate Family Rating: Assigned B1

  -- Probability of Default rating: Assigned B2

  -- $260 mm Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility: Downgraded
     to B1 (LGD2 -- 29%), from Ba3 (LGD3, 41%)

  -- $385 mm ($260 mm remaining) Senior Secured Term Loan A:
     Downgraded to B1 (LGD2 -- 29%), from Ba3 (LGD3, 41%)

  -- $1.8 billion ($1.215 billion remaining) Senior Secured Term
     Loan B: Downgraded to B1 (LGD2 -- 29%), from Ba3 (LGD3, 41%)

  -- Outlook: Changed to Positive, from Stable

The B1 CFR reflects the business and financial risks of operating
with an already leveraged capital structure that will become more
strained on a stand-alone basis, an increasingly heightened
competitive environment and the comparative lack of advantage of
scale and benefits in future periods following the division of the
Comcast partnership.

The rating is also somewhat constrained by uncertainties
surrounding the Company's ownership structure and its fiscal
policies going forward, as Moody's believes the Company will
continue to evaluate its strategic alternatives as opposed to
necessarily operating as a smaller, stand-alone entity.  These
risks are balanced, however, by the relative stability, solid
operating performance and strong underlying enterprise value
associated with the company's well-clustered cable systems, all of
which are further supported by the company's good liquidity
profile.

Proforma for the division of assets between Insight and Comcast
affiliates, Moody's estimates the company's leverage will increase
by about three-quarters of a turn to 5.7x, primarily driven by
lower EBITDA margins for the standalone (non-Comcast affiliate)
entity due to higher programming and (to a lesser extent)
equipment costs.

The positive rating outlook considers Insight's improved operating
performance of late and reflects expectations that ongoing
improvements in key credit metrics may warrant an upgrade of the
CFR over the forward rating horizon, particularly if a
shareholder-friendly leveraging event is not forthcoming and
notwithstanding some risk of slow-down in recent growth rates
stemming from an increasingly penetrated subscriber base and
intensifying competition in future periods.

Insight Communications is a domestic cable television multiple
system operator serving approximately 674,000 basic video
subscribers, mainly in Kentucky and in parts of Indiana and Ohio.   
The Company maintains its headquarters in New York, New York.


IXIS ABS: Moody's Cuts Five Notes' Ratings on Poor Credit Quality
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded and left on review for
possible further downgrade the ratings on these notes issued by

According to Moody's, the rating actions reflect increased

JPMORGAN CHASE: S&P Lowers Ratings on Three Certificate Classes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its ratings on two raked
classes and one pooled certificate class of commercial mortgage
pass-through certificates from JPMorgan Chase Commercial Mortgage
Securities Corp.'s series 2003-CIBC7.  Concurrently, S&P lowered
its ratings on three classes from the same transaction.  At the
same time, S&P affirmed its  ratings on the remaining classes,
including two raked classes, from this series.
     
The upgrades of the raked certificates reflect the improvement in
the operating performance of The Forum Shops in Las Vegas.  The
upgrade of this pooled certificate reflects increased credit
support and defeasance.  The lowered ratings reflect our
anticipated losses for the assets currently with the special
servicer, Midland Loan Services Inc., as well as S&P's  
concerns with several assets on the servicer's watchlist.  The
affirmed ratings reflect credit enhancement levels that provide
adequate support through various stress scenarios.
     
As of the April 14, 2008, remittance report, the trust collateral
consisted of 177 mortgage loans with an outstanding principal
balance of $1.3 billion, compared with 185 loans with a balance of
$1.5 billion at issuance.  Excluding the defeased loans
($235.2 million, 18%), the master servicer, also Midland, reported
financial information for 95% of the pool.  The servicer-provided
financial information was full-year 2006 and interim 2007 data.
Based on this information, Standard & Poor's calculated a weighted
average debt service coverage of 1.84x for the pool, up from 1.65x
at issuance.  All of the loans in the pool are current with the
exception of the two loans with the special servicer that are
considered real estate owned.  To date, the trust has experienced
one loss totaling $2.4 million.
     
The top 10 loans secured by real estate have an aggregate
outstanding in-trust balance of $469 million (41%) and a weighted
average DSC of 2.04x, compared with 1.88x at issuance.  Standard &
Poor's reviewed the property inspection reports obtained from
Midland, and all of the properties were reported to be in "good"
or "excellent" condition.  Credit characteristics for three of the
top 10 loans continue to be consistent with those of investment-
grade obligations.  Details of these loans are:

     -- The largest loan in the pool, The Forum Shops loan,
        consists of four notes.  The whole-loan consists of a
        $448.6 million senior A note, which is participated into
        three pari passu pieces.  The A-1 participation
        ($149.5 million) serves as collateral for this trust.  The
        A-2 note ($149.5 million) was contributed to the JPMCC
        2004-C1 transaction (not rated by Standard & Poor's), and
        the A-3 was contributed to the JPMCC 2004-CIBC8
        transaction.  There is also a B note totaling
        $82 million that is raked to classes FS1, FS2, FS3, and
        FS4.  These classes derive 100% of their cash flow from
        the B note participation.  The A-1 participation and B         
        note represent 17% of the trust balance.  The loan is
        secured by a 655,079-sq.-ft. class A super regional mall
        built in three phases from 1992 to 2004 on The Strip in
        Las Vegas, Nevada.  The servicer reported a DSC of 2.62x
        as of year-end 2006 for the Forum Shops loan, and
        occupancy at the property was 99%.  The loan is on the
        watchlist because a lawsuit has been brought against the
        sponsor, Simon Property Group Inc., (Simon) by a former
        partner who sold its interests in the property to Simon.
        The former partner alleges that Simon misrepresented the
        value of the property.  Standard & Poor's estimates the
        loan-to-value for the in-trust balance to be 53.4%.

     -- The third-largest loan in the pool, One Post Office
        Square, consists of three notes. The whole loan consists
        of a $116.2 million senior A note, which is participated
        into two pari passu pieces.  The A-1 ($58.1 million) was
        contributed to the JPMorgan Chase 2003-LN1 transaction.  
        The A-2 note ($58.1 million) serves as collateral for this
        trust.  The third note is a B note with a balance of
        $54.9 million, which is held as a pooled certificate in
        the JPMorgan Chase 2003-LN1 transaction.  The loan is
        secured by a 766,462-sq.-ft. class A office building built
        in 1981 in Boston, Massachusetts.  As of year-end 2006,
        DSC was 2.28x and occupancy was 100%.  Standard & Poor's
        estimates the LTV for the in-trust balance to be 55.4%.

     -- The sixth-largest loan in the pool, the Brown Notlemeyer
        Apartment portfolio, consists of a $34.2 million whole
        loan.  The loan is secured by eight multifamily properties
        with a total of 2,087 units, built between 1966 and 1990,
        in Louisville, Kentucky.  As of year-end 2006, DSC was
        1.57x and as of Dec. 31, 2007, occupancy was 98%.  
        Standard & Poor's estimates the LTV for the in-trust
        balance to be 63.9%.
     
There are two assets ($16.2 million, 1.2%) with the special
servicer.  The largest asset is University Gardens ($12.5 million,
0.9%), which is secured by an 80-unit student housing multifamily
property in Tallahassee, Florida.  The loan was transferred to
Midland in February 2007 due to a breach in the university's
master lease agreement with the borrower.  As of March 3, 2008,
the property was 100% vacant; however, an extensive marketing for
lease-up began in the spring of 2008.  The asset is REO, and an
expected loss approximates an appraisal reduction amount of
$4.9 million that is in effect.  Based on the most recent
appraisal, S&P expect a loss to the trust upon the eventual
disposition of the property.
     
The Courtland Square loan ($3.7 million, 0.3%), the second asset
with the special servicer, is secured by a 54,982-sq.-ft. grocery
anchored retail center in Deltona, Florida.  The asset was
originally transferred to Midland in October 2006 due to loss of
the anchor tenant and continued poor occupancy.  The asset is REO,
and an ARA of $0.5 million is in effect.  The servicer is
currently in negotiation to sell the property, and an estimated
as-is value indicates a loss to the trust upon the eventual
disposition of the property.     

The servicer reported 17 loans totaling $241.4 million (18%) on
the watchlist.  The largest, seventh-largest, and eighth-largest
loans in the pool represent 80% of the total watchlist balance.  
Details of the largest loan, The Forum Shops, are discussed above.  
Details concerning the seventh- and eighth-largest loans are as:

     -- Versailles and Dana Point Apartments, the seventh-largest
        exposure, has a current balance of $23.5 million (1.8%)
        and is secured by two garden-style multifamily apartment
        complexes with a total of 652 units in Dallas, Texas.  The
        loan is on the watchlist because the properties reported a
        low combined DSC of 0.89x as of Dec. 31, 2006, down from
        1.51x at issuance.  The decline in DSC is due to increased
        operating expenses.  The combined occupancy was 84% as of
        March 2007.

     -- The eighth-largest exposure ($21.6 million, 1.6%), the
        Rainier Office portfolio, is secured by four office
        properties with 479,720 sq. ft. in various cities in
        Texas.  The loan is on the watchlist because the
        properties reported a low combined DSC of 0.89x as of
        Sept. 30, 2007, compared with 1.43x at issuance.  The
        decline in DSC resulted from low occupancy, which was 77%
        as of Sept. 30, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2007, and higher
        operating expenses.
     
The remaining loans on the watchlist have low occupancies, low
DSCs, and/or upcoming lease expirations.
     
Standard & Poor's stressed various assets in the mortgage pool as
part of its analysis, including the loans on the watchlist and
those otherwise considered credit impaired.  The resultant credit
enhancement levels adequately support the raised, lowered, and
affirmed ratings.

JPMORGAN CHASE: Fitch Puts B-/DR1 Rating on $10.8MM Class P Certs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a Distressed Recovery rating to J.P.
Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., series
2005-LDP1, commercial mortgage pass-through certificates:

  -- $10.8 million class P to 'B-/DR1' from 'B-'.

In addition, Fitch has affirmed these classes:

  -- $24.3 million class A-1 at 'AAA';
  -- $331.8 million class A-1A at 'AAA';
  -- $994.5 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $157.5 million class A-3 at 'AAA';
  -- $601.5 million class A-4 at 'AAA';
  -- $119.9 million class A-SB at 'AAA';
  -- $94.3 million class A-J at 'AAA';
  -- $100 million class A-JFL at 'AAA';
  -- Interest only class X-1 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest only class X-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $68.4 million class B at 'AA+';
  -- $25.2 million class C at 'AA';
  -- $54 million class D at 'A+';
  -- $28.8 million class E at 'A-';
  -- $46.8 million class F at 'BBB+';
  -- $28.8 million class G at 'BBB';
  -- $32.4 million class H at 'BBB-';
  -- $10.8 million class J at 'BB+';
  -- $14.4 million class K at 'BB';
  -- $10.8 million class L at 'BB-';
  -- $7.2 million class M at 'B+';
  -- $7.2 million class N at 'B'.

The $36 million class NR is not rated by Fitch.

The assignment of the DR rating is due to increased loss
expectations since Fitch's last review.  As of the April 2008
remittance, the transaction has paid down 2.5% to $2.81 billion
from $2.87 billion at issuance.  Nineteen loans have defeased
(9.3%).

Fitch has identified 20 loans of concern (4.3%), including the
five specially serviced assets (1.5%).  Four of the specially
serviced assets (1.1%) are multifamily properties located in Texas
that were owned and operated by MBS Cos., which filed for
bankruptcy protection in late 2007.  Recent appraisal values
indicate potential losses on the four MBS-sponsored properties.  
Fitch will continue to monitor the progress of the disposition of
the MBS portfolio.

Fitch reviewed the most recent servicer provided operating
statement analysis reports for the two shadow rated loans,
Woodbridge Center (7.6%) and Harbor Court (1.0%).  Based on their
stable performance, the loans maintain their investment grade
shadow ratings.

The Woodbridge Center loan is secured by a regional mall located
in Woodbridge, New Jersey.  As of September 2007, occupancy at
Woodbridge Center has improved to 99% from 94.8% at issuance.  The
loan is scheduled to mature in June 2009.

The Harbor Court loan is secured by a ground lease on a parcel of
land in Honolulu, Hawaii and expires in 2074.  A 201,256 square
foot office/mixed-use building is constructed on the site.  The
loan is scheduled to mature in May 2014.

MACROVISION SOLUTIONS: $50MM Loan Increase Cues S&P to Cut Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its bank loan rating on
the senior secured first-lien credit facilities of Macrovision
Solutions Corp. (B+/Positive/--).  The bank loan rating was
lowered to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  At the same time, S&P revised its  
recovery ratings on the credit facility to '3', indicating its  
expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a
payment default, from '2'.  The 'B+' corporate credit rating
remains unchanged.
     
The bank loan rating action is based on the final terms of a
transaction in which the first-lien secured term loan was
increased by $50 million, to $550 million, and the amount of the
company's proposed 11% unsecured senior notes was decreased by
$50 million, to $100 million.  In addition, the maturity date on
the unsecured notes was revised to 2013 under the final capital
structure.
     
At the same time, S&P affirmed the ratings on Macrovision's
$340 million of unsecured facilities, consisting of $240 million
in 2.625% convertible senior unsecured notes due 2011 and the
$100 million senior unsecured notes due 2013.  The notes are rated
'B-', with a recovery rating of '6', indicating our expectation of
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
     
Proceeds from the proposed financing will be used to fund
Macrovision's acquisition of unrated Gemstar-TV Guide
International Inc.  Pro forma total debt outstanding, which
remains unchanged under the new capital structure, was
$904 million as of Dec. 31, 2007.

MAJESTIC STAR: Moody's Reviews Low-B Ratings For Possible Cuts
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Majestic Star
Casino, LLC and Majestic HoldCo, LLC on review for possible
downgrade.

This is in response to continued concerns that Majestic Star's
operating results, liquidity profile, and overall capital
structure remain vulnerable to significant investment by its
competitors, promotional activity, a smoking ban that went into
effect in Colorado at the beginning of 2008, and an overall
slowing of the U.S. economy.  Debt EBITDA remains above 8.0 times,
and EBITDA coverage of cash interest is only about 1.2 times.

Ratings placed on review for possible downgrade are:

Majestic Star Casino, LLC:

  -- $300 million senior secured notes due 2010 at B2,

  -- $200 million senior secured notes due 2011 at Caa1.

Majestic HoldCo, LLC:

  -- Corporate family rating at B3,

  -- Probability of default rating at B3,

  -- $55 million 12% discount notes due 2011 at Caa2.

"Despite the fact that the company remains in compliance with its
bank facility, and its recently amended financial covenants
provide some near-term flexibility, without a significant
improvement in operating results, Majestic Star will likely need
to refinance its debt in a manner that materially lowers its debt
service obligations going forward," according to Keith Foley,
Moody's Senior Vice President.

Moody's review will focus on Majestic Star's near-term liquidity
position, specifically the company's ability to meet its October
2008 and April 2009 interest payments, as well as the company's
longer-term operating and financing plans.  Ratings could be
lowered if Moody's believes that Majestic Star's limited ability
to invest in its casinos will continue to negatively impact its
competitive position and lead to a decline in earnings.  Ratings
could also be downgraded if Moody's believes that the company's
significant leverage, along with the continued volatility in the
capital markets and high cost of borrowing, make it less likely
that Majestic Star can refinance its existing obligations without
experiencing some level of impairment.

Majestic Star Casino, LLC directly and indirectly owns and
operates riverboat casinos in Gary, Indiana; Tunica, Mississippi;
and Black Hawk, Colorado.  Majestic HoldCo, LLC owns 100% of The
Majestic Star Casino, LLC.

MARKWEST ENERGY: Moody's Keeps 'B1' Ratings on Same Terms on Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed MarkWest Energy Partners,
L.P.'s B1 Corporate Family Rating, B1 Probability of Default
Rating, B2 (LGD 4, changed to 62% from 64%) senior unsecured note
ratings, and speculative grade liquidity SGL-3 rating.  The rating
outlook is stable.

MarkWest plans to issue $100 million senior unsecured notes as an
add-on to its $400 million note issuance on April 15, 2008.  The
ratings are unchanged as the terms and conditions of the new notes
are substantively the same as the existing notes.  MarkWest
expects to use the net add-on proceeds to pre-fund a portion of
its 2008 capital spending program.  The company used the net
proceeds from its $400 million notes issue earlier this month, in
addition to $172 million in net proceeds from an equity offering,
to pay down its $225 million secured term loan incurred to
partially fund its acquisition of MarkWest Hydrocarbon, pay off
all drawings under its $350 million revolving credit facility and
partially pre-fund its capital spending program.  The company's
pro-forma funded debt consists of $1.0 billion in senior unsecured
notes.  The notes are guaranteed by all of MarkWest's existing
subsidiaries on a senior unsecured basis.

Moody's estimates MarkWest's pro-forma deb EBITDA (as adjusted to
include operating leases) for the last twelve months ending
Dec. 31, 2007 at approximately 4.9x, considerably higher than the
company's target of 3.5x.  MarkWest will need to continue to raise
common equity, as well as grow cash flow, to reduce the higher
leverage associated with the MarkWest Hydrocarbon transaction and
its aggressive growth capital spending plans.  Higher capital
spending without a commensurate increase in operating cash flow or
an inability to raise sufficient equity that leads to persistent
leverage over 4.5x could result in a negative rating action.

MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P., headquartered in Denver, Colorado,
is a midstream natural gas limited partnership.


MARKWEST ENERGY: Improved Recovery Cues S&P to Hold 'B+' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on midstream energy company MarkWest Energy Partners
L.P.  At the same time, S&P raised its issue rating on the
company's $1 billion senior unsecured notes due 2014, 2016, and
2018 to 'B+' from 'B' and raised the recovery rating to '4' from
'5', indicating that lenders can expect average (30%-50%) recovery
in the event of payment default.  The outlook is stable.
     
The rating action reflects the improved recovery prospects of the
unsecured lenders following the repayment of the secured term loan
using proceeds from the upsized offering of senior unsecured notes
due 2018.
     
MWE is a master limited partnership engaged in the gathering,
processing, and transmission of natural gas; transport,
fractionation, and storage of natural gas liquids; and gathering
and transport of crude oil in the Southwest, Northeast, and Gulf
Coast.
     
The rating on MWE reflects a weak business risk profile due to the
company's commodity price sensitivity, small asset base,
historically aggressive growth strategy, and large capital-
spending plan.  Increasing geographic diversity and the stability
garnered from the company's hedging program partially mitigate the
aforementioned risks.
     
The outlook on MWE is stable.  Capital-spending needs are expected
to remain high and the recent merger with MarkWest Hydrocarbon
Inc. is expected to increase commodity price sensitivity.
     
"Continued ratings stability will rely on the successful execution
of expansion plans on time and on budget, and the ongoing
management of commodity price exposure through a comprehensive
hedging policy," noted Standard & Poor's credit analyst Plana Lee.
     
"Conversely, a negative outlook revision or downward rating action
could result from additional debt-financed expansions,
disappointing margins, or the greater commodity price sensitivity
of the MarkWest Hydrocarbon business," she continued.


MESA 2002-3: S&P Lowers CCC Rating to CC on Class B-2 Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the class
B-2 home loan asset-backed notes issued by MESA 2002-3 Global
Issuance Co.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the ratings on the
class M-2 and B-1 notes from the same transaction.
     
As of the March 2008 remittance date, overcollateralization was
$207,831 and serious delinquencies were $3.560 million, or 17.13x
O/C, suggesting that the unfavorable performance trend will
continue.  Cumulative losses were $14,356,787, or 9.88% of the
original pool balance.  The outstanding pool balance, as a
percentage of its original size, was 14.56%.  The affirmations
reflect sufficient current and projected credit support to
maintain the current rating levels.
     
Credit support for this transaction is provided through a
combination of subordination, excess spread, and O/C.  The
collateral consists of 30-year, fixed- or adjustable-rate subprime
mortgage loans secured by first liens on residential properties.

OSI RESTAURANT: S&P Revises Outlook to Negative from Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised the outlook on Tampa,
Florida-based OSI Restaurant Partners Inc. to negative from

Jackie E. Oberoi, "leading to weaker-than-expected credit
metrics."  Leverage is about 9x (including the company's
$790 million CMBS debt issued through Private Restaurant
Properties) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2007.

                          *     *     *

long term foreign and local issuer credit rating.  This rating was

higher than anticipated rates of delinquency, foreclosure, and REO
in the underlying collateral relative to credit enhancement
levels.  The actions are a result of Moody's on-going review
process.

PRESIDENTIAL LIFE: Improved Leverage Prompts S&P to Lift Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its counterparty credit
rating on Presidential Life Corp. to 'B+' from 'B'.  At the same
time, Standard & Poor's raised its counterparty credit and
financial strength ratings on Presidential Life Insurance Co. to
'BB+' from 'BB'.  The outlook on these companies is positive.
     
"The upgrades reflect Standard & Poor's view that the group has
improved leverage and maintains strong coverage and sufficient
sources of liquidity at the holding company and operating company
to meet its maturing $100 million senior notes due Feb. 15, 2009,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Adrian Pask.  "We believe
that Presidential's risk-management framework is adequate for its
risk profile and should continue to improve as the company's
formal risk-management program matures.  The company's capital
adequacy has improved in the past two years and is strong for the
rating."
     
Presidential remains somewhat vulnerable to the broad array of
risks embedded in its investment and operational profiles.  The
company has above-average credit risk, with more aggregated risk
assets than its peers, and holds a narrow competitive position.  
Partially offsetting these risks are the improvements in interest
rate risk management through a derivative-use policy implemented
in late 2005.
     
"The positive outlook reflects our expectation that risk
management practices will continue to develop, earnings will
continue to be stable and supportive of the rating, and PLFE's
remaining debt will be paid down at maturity in February 2009,"
added Mr. Pask.  "The positive outlook could be resolved in 12-36
months by a one-notch upgrade if Presidential meets both the
preceding expectations and current trends continue."
     
Standard & Poor's expects Presidential's total sales in 2008 to
remain low, at about $200 million, and capital adequacy to remain
strong.  The company's operating performance will remain at 2007
levels.  The pretax operating return on assets will likely be
greater than 125 basis points, which, on a risk-adjusted basis, is
consistent with the ratings.  The investment profile should remain
aggressive, with a significant investment in risky limited
partnerships that have performed well in recent years.


QUEBECOR WORLD: Final Recovery is 41.1%, Global DiSCS Says
----------------------------------------------------------
Global DiSCS Trust 2004-1 (TSX: DST.UN) said that the final
recovery amount among the Trust's unitholders related to Quebecor
World Inc. is 41.1% and that a bankruptcy credit event will not
result in any reduction in collateral or an investor's capital
amount.

                         Credit Event

On Jan. 23, 2008, the Trust was notified that Quebecor filed a
petition for creditor protection under the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (CCAA) in Canada.  The exposure of the Trust's
unitholders to Quebecor was 0.50% of the Reference Portfolio.

Following the Quebecor Bankruptcy Credit Event, the Trust's
remaining synthetic first loss tranche protection is 3.606% of the
Reference Portfolio.  The initial 4.10% first loss tranche was
reduced to 3.88% as a result the 2006 Delphi Corporation Credit
Event.

Unitholders' entitlement to receive $25 per unit on Dec. 20, 2009,
and quarterly distributions of $0.325 per unit will not be

facility of Quebecor World Inc. as a Debtor-in-Possession.  The

RESTRUCTURED ASSET: S&P Chips Rating on $75MM Certs. to BB from A+
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the
$75.0 million credit-linked certificates from Restructured Asset
Certificates w/Enhanced Returns Series 2006-18-C (ABX_A_06_1_i) to
'BB' from 'A+'.
     
The rating action reflects the April 24, 2008, lowering of the
rating on the referenced obligations, the class M-5 asset-backed
certificates due May 25, 2035, issued by Long Beach Mortgage Loan
Trust 2005-WL2.
     
RACERS 2006-18-C (ABX_A_06_1_i) is a credit-linked transaction,

---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' rating to the
proposed $250 million in subordinated notes of Range Resources
Corp. (BB/Stable/--).  At the same time, S&P assigned a recovery
rating of '4' to this facility, indicating its expectation of
average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
     
"Proceeds from the expected offering due 2018 will be used mainly
to refinance existing debt," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Ben Tsocanos.
     
Range's announcement that it is increasing its secured credit
facility to $1 billion from $900 million will not affect our issue
rating or recovery rating on this debt.  The issue rating on this
facility is 'BBB-', and the recovery rating is '1', indicating
S&P's expectation of very high (90% to 100%) recovery in the event
of a payment default.  Pro forma for the use of about $250 million
of proposed equity issuance proceeds to repay borrowings, Range
has about $1.2 billion of debt.

SCHAWK INC: Completes Financial Restatement for Fiscal 2005 & 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------
Schawk Inc. has filed its annual report on form 10-K for fiscal
2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company initially postponed the filing of its 2007 form 10-K
to complete the restatement of its financial statements for the
fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005, as well as for each of
the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and Sept. 30, 2007 and 2006
and the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006.

In connection with the completion of the restated financial
statements, the company determined that the income tax provision
for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2007, as
reported in the company's year ended Dec. 31, 2007, earnings press
release on April 4, 2008, was overstated by $1.0 million, and the
income tax provision for 2006 was understated by $1.0 million.    
The company's 2007 form 10-K as filed reflects an increase in 2007
net income and earnings per share and a decrease in 2006 net
income and earnings per share from the amounts reported in its
earnings release.

The corrected effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and full
year of 2007 was 44.5% and 40.3%.  The corrected effective tax
rate for the fourth quarter and full year of 2006 was 54.2% and
42.0%.

As part of the company's program to remediate internal control
weaknesses that were reported in connection with its 2007 audit,
the company has hired consultants to oversee the remediation
effort.  The company has also initiated the process to hire a new
chief financial officer.  The company intends to provide updates
quarterly as to its progress on improving its system of internal
controls.

            First Quarter 2008 Reporting to be Delayed

Due to the delays in the reporting of the company's fiscal 2007
financial results and the preparation of the fiscal 2007 form
10-K, the company expects that its first quarter 2008 results will
be delayed beyond its normal expected due date, as the company
will require additional time to complete its preparation and
internal review of the first quarter's financial statements, Form
10-Q and earnings release, as well as the quarterly review by the
company's external audit firm.  At this time, the company cannot
suggest a certain date for reporting its first quarter 2008
results.

and Exchange Commission, is available free of charge at:

SOUNDVIEW HOME: Moody's Downgrades Ratings on Two Cert. Classes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded two certificates and placed
on review for possible downgrade one certificate from a
transaction issued by Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-B.  The
transaction is backed by second lien loans.  The certificates were
downgraded because the bonds' credit enhancement levels, including
excess spread and subordination were low compared to the current
projected loss numbers at the previous rating levels.

The actions take into account the continued and worsening
performance of transactions backed by closed-end-second
collateral.  Substantial pool losses of over the last few months
have eroded credit enhancement available to the mezzanine and
senior certificates.  Despite the large amount of write-offs due
to losses, delinquency pipelines have remained high as borrowers
continue to default.

Complete rating actions are:

Issuer: Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-B

  -- Cl. M-7, Placed on Review for Possible Downgrade,
     currently Baa1

  -- Cl. M-8, Downgraded to B3 from Baa2

  -- Cl. M-9, Downgraded to Caa3 from B3

negative cash flow from operations.


STRUCTURED FINANCE: Three Note Classes Get Moody's Junk Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of three classes
of notes issued by Structured Finance Advisors ABS CDO III, Ltd.
and left on review for possible further downgrade the ratings of
one of these classes.  The notes affected by this rating action
are:

Class Description: $50,000,000 Class B Senior Secured Floating
Rate Notes Due 2037

  -- Prior Rating: Baa3, on review for possible downgrade
  -- Current Rating: Caa1, on review for possible downgrade

Class Description: $15,000,000 Class C Secured Floating Rate Notes
Due 2037

  -- Prior Rating: Ca
  -- Current Rating: C

Class Description: $12,500,000 Preference Shares ($12,500,000
aggregate liquidation preference)

  -- Prior Rating: Ca
  -- Current Rating: C

The rating actions reflect deterioration in the credit quality of
the underlying portfolio, as well as the occurrence as reported by
the Trustee on April 18, 2008, of an event of default described in
Section 5.1(i) of the Indenture dated June 25, 2002.

Structured Finance Advisors ABS CDO III, Ltd. is a collateralized
debt obligation backed primarily by a portfolio of structured
finance securities.

As provided in Article V of the Indenture during the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, holders of certain Notes
may be entitled to direct the Trustee to take particular actions
with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities and the Notes.

The rating actions taken reflect the increased expected loss
associated with each tranche.  Losses are attributed to diminished
credit quality on the underlying portfolio.  The severity of
losses of certain tranches may be different, however, depending on
the timing and choice of further remedies to be pursued following
the event of default.  Because of this uncertainty, the ratings
assigned to Class B Notes remain on review for possible further
action.

TERWIN MORTGAGE: Recent Losses Cue S&P to Junk Rtng. Cl. M-2 Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the class
M-2 mortgage-backed notes from Terwin Mortgage Trust 2004-EQR1 to
'CCC' from 'B' and removed it from CreditWatch with negative
implications.
     
This transaction is backed solely by nonperforming collateral,
meaning that most of the loans in the pool are seriously
delinquent (90-plus days, foreclosures, and REOs).  Consequently,
the transaction is not generating significant cash flow, which is
typically realized from the liquidation of the mortgage loans.  
Additionally, HomeEq Servicing Corp., the servicer, stopped
advancing for these delinquent loans in March 2005.  After the
March 2005 distribution period, the servicer was no longer
required to advance on delinquent payments of interest and
principal.  All of the funds that support this transaction are
allocated first to pay interest and then to pay principal.
     
The downgrade of class M-2 is due to recent monthly net losses
that have eroded the credit support available to this class as of
the March 2008 remittance period.  The 'D' rated B-1 class, which
has a current principal balance of $750,758, provides credit
support through subordination to the M-2 class and continues to
erode as loans are liquidated and the pool incurs losses.  During
periods in which the servicer is able to liquidate the loans, loss
severities have been severe.  Since April 2007, the loss
severities on the 13 liquidated loans were approximately 87%.  
Currently, this deal has a reserve fund that S&P expect to help
pay the interest on the certificates in a timely fashion until the
reserve funds are depleted.  As of the April 25, 2008,
distribution date, this reserve fund had $93,090 remaining.      

As of the April 2008 remittance period, the deal had been paid
down to 6.99% of its original principal balance, and there were 17
loans still outstanding.  The deal has realized $4.06 million in
cumulative losses, or 10.67% of the original principal balance.

THORNBURG MORTGAGE: Fitch Revises ID Rating to 'CCC' from 'RD'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Given Thornburg Mortgage, Inc.'s entry into an override agreement
with Thornburg's five remaining reverse repurchase agreement
counterparties and their affiliates, and Thornburg's recent
offering of senior subordinated secured notes, Fitch Ratings has
revised Thornburg's Issuer Default Rating as:

  -- IDR to 'CCC' from 'RD'.

Fitch has also maintained these ratings:

  -- Senior notes remain at 'C/RR6';
  -- Subordinated notes remain at 'C/RR6';
  -- Preferred stock at remain 'C/RR6'.

Fitch has also assigned a 'C/RR6' rating to Thornburg's new senior
subordinated secured notes.

The IDR is based on default remaining a real possibility for
Thornburg's corporate obligations, particularly if Thornburg
becomes exposed to meaningful margin call risk after expiration of
the override agreement.  The security-specific ratings are based
on poor recovery prospects in the event of default of such
securities.

The Rating Outlook on Thornburg's IDR is Negative based on the
potential adverse effect on Thornburg's profitability of continued
volatility in the market prices of residential mortgage-backed
securities and reduced origination volumes relative to prior
years.

Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. is a
lender to the single-family residential mortgage housing market
and is focused principally on the jumbo segment.  Thornburg
originates, acquires and retains investments in adjustable-rate
mortgage assets.  Thornburg's ARM assets are comprised of
Purchased ARM Assets and ARM Loans.  All of Thornburg's ARM assets
are either Traditional ARMs, which includes Pay Option ARMs, or
Hybrid ARMs.  For tax purposes, Thornburg is organized as a real
estate investment trust and is managed externally by Thornburg
Mortgage Advisory Corporation.


TRIBUNE CO: Newsday Unit May Get $650MM Bid from Cablevision
------------------------------------------------------------
Cablevision Systems Corporation intends to acquire Newsday from
Tribune Company for about $650 million or $70 million more than
the previous offers of New York Post owner News Corp. and Daily
News owner Mortimer Zuckerman, The Wall Street Journal's  Vishesh
Kumar and Sam Schechner report.

According to WSJ, Cablevision's bid could lead to the auction of
the newspaper.  It will be the second proposal to counter an
informal agreement reached with News Corp., which values Newsday
at $580 million, WSJ notes.

WSJ, citing a person familiar with the situation, says the cable
operator and New York Observer owner Jared Kushner had been
talking about a joint bid, but it is unclear whether Cablevision
is working with Mr. Kushner in its offer.

Mr. Zuckerman was the first to counter News Corp.'s preliminary
deal, matching the $580 million offer for the paper last week, WSJ
relates.  

Cablevision's offer isn't only higher, it is also better as the
cable operator would likely face fewer regulatory barriers than
either News Corp. or Mr. Zuckerman, WSJ says.  Both rivals could
face tougher antitrust scrutiny due to their current New York
newspaper holdings, WSJ notes.

According to WSJ quoting Donald Baker, a former head of the
antitrust division at the U.S. Department of Justice: "I would
definitely think that Cablevision has more chance of sailing
through."

VALERO ENERGY: Net Income Plummets to $261MM in 2008 First Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------------
Valero Energy Corporation reported first quarter 2008 net income  
of $261 million which includes a pre-tax benefit of $101 million
of business interruption insurance recovery related to the fire at
the company's McKee refinery in the first quarter of 2007.

The company's net income in the first quarter of 2007 was
$1.1 billion.  Income from discontinued operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, relates to the Lima, Ohio refinery,
which the company sold effective July 1, 2007.

First quarter 2008 operating income was $472 million, or
$371 million without the insurance recovery, versus $1.7 billion
reported in the first quarter of 2007.  The decline in operating
income was attributable to lower margins for many of the company's
products in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter
last year.

Refined product margins decreased as the cost of crude oil and
other feedstocks increased rapidly than the prices of gasoline and
other products, such as asphalt, fuel oils, petroleum coke and
petrochemical feedstocks.  

The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil increased
nearly $40 per barrel, whereas the average wholesale price of Gulf
Coast conventional gasoline increased by about $34 per barrel,
causing benchmark Gulf Coast gasoline margins to narrow by $6 per
barrel, or 59%, in the first quarter of 2008 versus the first
quarter of 2007.  Partially offsetting these weaker margins were
substantially higher margins on diesel and jet fuel as demand for
these products remained high.

Other factors also contributed to the decline in operating income
in the first quarter of 2008.  Refinery operating expenses
increased by $180 million from the first quarter of 2007 to the
first quarter of 2008, due to higher energy costs and maintenance
expenses.  

Additionally, throughput volumes decreased from the first quarter
of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008 by an average of 138,000
barrels per day in large part due to operating issues at the
Aruba, Port Arthur, and Delaware City refineries.

                           Possible Sale

Valero is considering a refineries revamp that could result in the
sale of one or more facilities, Mike Barris of Wall Street Journal
relates.  

The company hopes that the move would make it a more efficient
refiner in a time of high and volatile oil prices and rising
competition, WSJ states.

According to WSJ, the company is in talks with a prospective buyer
for the Aruba refinery and expects to disclose about it this
quarter.  WSJ relates that the company is also evaluating bids for
its Memphis and Krotz Springs refineries.

In addition, the company initiated a process to explore strategic
alternatives for its Ardmore refinery, WSJ notes.

"Despite a difficult environment for gasoline margins, we reported
positive results for the first quarter," said Bill Klesse,
Valero's chairman of the board and chief executive officer.  "More
recently, gasoline margins have shown moderate improvement as
inventories have fallen and demand has increased as it normally
does this time of year."  

"We continue to benefit from a very solid on-road diesel market,
with margins over $25 per barrel across our system," Mr. Klesse
stated.  "Concerning refinery inputs, differentials continue to be
wide for the heavy and sour feedstocks that we can process, such
as Maya crude oil, which has averaged $20 per barrel under WTI in
April."

"From a financial perspective, we ended the quarter with a healthy
balance sheet," Mr. Klesse said.  "At the end of March, our debt-
to-capitalization ratio stood at a relatively low 22% when
adjusted for our $1.4 billion cash balance."

The company's capital spending in the first quarter of 2008 was
about $640 million, of which about $100 million was for turnaround
expenditures.  Regarding other uses of cash, the company spent
$518 million to purchase 8.8 million shares of its common stock
and used approximately $375 million to redeem high-coupon debt
during the first quarter.

"For the second quarter, average throughput rates for the Gulf
Coast should increase by approximately 100,000 barrels per day as
we complete the repairs on the coker drums at our Port Arthur
refinery and the vacuum tower at our Aruba refinery in May.  These
refineries specialize in running heavy, sour feedstocks, so there
should be noticeable improvement in our Gulf Coast performance.

"The strategic review of our refining portfolio continues," Mr.
Klesse added.  "We are working closely with a prospective buyer
for the Aruba refinery and expect to have an announcement this
quarter.  We are also evaluating bids that we received for our
Memphis and Krotz Springs refineries.  In addition, we initiated a
process to explore strategic alternatives for our Ardmore
refinery.

"The refining business has always been seasonal, volatile, and
cyclical. We will continue working toward excellence in safety,
environmental regulatory compliance, and reliability, while also
striving to lower expenses and improve our effectiveness.
Everyday, we are very focused on improving long-term returns and
creating value for our shareholders," Mr. Klesse said.

At March 31, 2008, the company's total debt amounted to
$6.474 billion compared to $6.862 billion at Dec. 31, 2007.

above average Nelson Complexity Index of 11.1. Valero Energy
Corporation is evaluating strategic alternatives for one to three

increase its current Nelson index.  The pending major capital
spending programs would further increase Valero Energy Corporation
value adding capacity and complexity downstream from crude oil
distillation.

VERSO PAPER: Parent Co.'s Stock Sale Plan Cues S&P Positive Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed all of its ratings on
Verso Paper Holdings LLC and its direct parent, Verso Paper
Finance Holdings LLC, including the 'B' corporate credit rating on
both of them, on CreditWatch with positive implications.
     
"The CreditWatch listing is prompted by the plans of unrated Verso
Paper Corp., Verso's ultimate parent, to sell 18.75 million shares
of common stock for an estimated maximum offering price of
$337 million," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Sookram.
     
The purpose of the IPO is to reduce $250 million of debt at the
direct parent, pay certain fees, and enable the equity sponsor,
Apollo Global Management, to sell a portion of its shares.  Apollo
will retain about 67% ownership after the IPO.
     
Mr. Sookram said, "If the IPO is successful in the manner and
amount planned, we believe Verso's financial profile should
improve because proceeds are targeted for debt repayment, which
would lower the ratio of pro forma adjusted debt to 2007 EBITDA to
about 6.7x from 8.2x."
     
Moreover, S&P expect Verso's credit measures to strengthen further
in 2008, because of improving operating performance stemming from
substantially higher prices and benefits from cost-saving programs
that have helped to offset higher input costs.
     
S&P will monitor Verso's IPO and will review the company's
business and financial strategies before resolving the
CreditWatch.  S&P could raise the ratings one notch if the IPO is
completed as planned and market conditions remain sufficiently
favorable to allow further debt reduction to strengthen the
company's financial risk profile.

VICOR TECHNOLOGIES: Converts $1.25 Mil. Debt to Shares on Default
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Vicor Technologies Inc. disclosed the conversion of $1,251,200 of
its corporate debt into shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase shares of its common stock.

On Oct. 18, 2007, Vicor completed a bridge financing pursuant to a
private placement totaling $1,251,200, consisting of 10%
convertible bridge promissory notes.  These bridge notes matured
on Dec. 31, 2007 and have been in default since Feb. 29, 2008. All
of the investors have agreed to exchange their unpaid bridge notes
for 2,966,880 shares of the company's common stock, which includes
a forbearance fee of 494,480 shares, and warrants to purchase
3,214,120 shares of the company's common stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share.  The warrants are immediately
exercisable and are for a term of five years from the date of
issuance.  The shares and warrants issued to the investors and the
placement agent will continue to have the same piggyback
registration rights granted to them in the original bridge
financing.

"We are very pleased that we have reduced our outstanding
indebtedness and increased the company's equity through this
exchange and conversion, Mr. David H. Fater, Vicor president and
chief executive officer, said.  "We appreciate the confidence in
the company's future that our stockholders have expressed by their
conversion and exchange of indebtedness for additional equity."

VONAGE HOLDINGS: Secures $215MM Financing to Redeem $253MM Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Vonage Holdings Corp. signed a non-binding letter of intent with a
third party financing source to provide $215 million in a private
debt financing.  The company expects that approximately two-thirds
of the financing will be provided through a senior secured credit
facility and approximately one-third will be provided through
issuance of convertible secured notes.  The letter of intent is a
proposal that will be used as a basis for financing and does not
constitute a commitment.
    
The company intends to use the net proceeds from this financing,
plus cash on hand, to repay, tender for or redeem its existing
convertible notes, which can be put to the company on Dec. 16,
2008 and have a principal amount due of roughly $253 million.  As
of March 31, 2008, the company had approximately $190 million in
cash and cash equivalents of which $42 million was restricted and
$148 million was unrestricted.
    
"We are pleased with our progress at this stage of our refinancing
efforts, particularly during this extremely challenging time for
the credit markets," John S. Rego, Vonage chief financial officer
said.
    
The company expects to provide an update on the status of its
refinancing efforts when it reports first quarter 2008 earnings on
May 8, 2008.

December 2008.  In those discussions, the company has explored the
possibility of a transaction in which holders would agree to
forego the right to "put" the convertible notes in December 2008.  

On March 20, 2008, the Troubled company Reporter reported as well

WACHOVIA BANK: Fitch Lifts Rating on $4.5MM Certs. to BB- from B+
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgraded Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust's
commercial mortgage pass-through certificates, series 2003-C4, as:

  -- $12.3 million class F to 'AAA' from 'AA';
  -- $12.3 million class G to 'AA' from 'A+';
  -- $12.3 million class H to 'A+' from 'A';
  -- $20.1 million class J to 'A-' from 'BBB+'
  -- $8.9 million class K to 'BBB+' from 'BBB';
  -- $6.7 million class L to 'BBB' from 'BBB-';
  -- $6.7 million class M to 'BB+' from 'BB';
  -- $1.1 million class N to 'BB' from 'BB-';
  -- $4.5 million class O to 'BB-' from 'B+'.

In addition, Fitch affirmed these classes:

  -- $196.7 million class A-1A at 'AAA';
  -- $304.9 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class X-C at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class X-P at 'AAA';
  -- $34.6 million class B at 'AAA';
  -- $11.1 million class C at 'AAA';
  -- $22.3 million class D at 'AAA';
  -- $12.3 million class E at 'AAA';

Fitch does not rate the $22.3 million class P certificates and
class A-1 has paid in full.

The upgrades are the result of 6.1% paydown since the last Fitch
rating action, including all five loans (5%) scheduled to mature
in 2008, one of which (0.5%) was a Fitch Loan of Concern.  Three
(1.6%) other former Fitch Loans of Concern have had improved
performance as of year-end 2007 and are no longer considered of
concern.  In addition, the pool has performed well since issuance:
there have been no delinquent, specially serviced or losses since
issuance.

As of the April 2008 distribution date, the pool has paid down
25.9% to $661.2 million from $891.8 million at issuance.  In total
10 loans (9.2%) have defeased.

Four loans (4.6%) mature in 2010 while 88.9% of the pool matures
in 2013.  Using 57.5% YE 2007 and 42.5% YE 2006 financial data,
the weighted averaged debt service coverage ratio for the pool is
1.53 times while the weighted average loan rate is 5.78%.


WILSONS LEATHER: KPMG LLP Raises Substantial Doubt
--------------------------------------------------
KPMG LLP in Minneapolis raised substantial doubt on Wilsons The
Leather Experts Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for
the fiscal years ended Feb. 2, 2008, and Feb. 3, 2007.  The
auditing firm pointed to the company's recurring losses from
operations and negative cash flows from operating activities.

          Reorganization and Partial Store Liquidation

The company announced on Feb. 14, 2008, that it would liquidate up
to 160 mall stores (subsequently revised to 154 mall stores and
four outlet stores) and eliminate approximately 938 store-related
positions.

The Company entered into an Agency Agreement with a joint venture
comprised of Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC; Gordon Brothers Retail
Partners, LLC; and Hilco Real Estate, LLC.  The Hilco/Gordon Joint
Venture will liquidate the inventory in the 158 stores and assist
in the discussions with landlords regarding lease terminations in
approximately 130 of these stores.

Under the Agreement, the Hilco/Gordon Joint Venture will pay the
company a guaranteed amount of 77% of the cost value of the
inventory, subject to certain adjustments.  The Hilco/Gordon Joint
Venture will be responsible for all expenses related to the sale.  

The liquidation stores were selected based on strategic criteria,
including negative sales and earnings trends, projected real
estate costs, and location.

The company plans to remodel the 100 remaining mall stores to a
new mall accessories store concept during 2008.

The liquidation is part of a strategy aimed at reducing its mall
store base, aggressive cost cutting measures and the launch of a
new mall accessories store concept.  

As part of the launch of the mall accessories store concept and
ongoing cost reduction efforts, the company has also realigned its
organization to reflect the reduced store base and decreased
overseas sourcing needs.

As a result, the company eliminated 64 positions at its corporate
headquarters, overseas offices and distribution center.

The liquidation will be presented as discontinued operations
commencing in the first quarter of 2008.

The company's net sales and expenses will be significantly reduced
going forward as a result of the liquidation.  During the fourth
quarter of 2007, the company recorded a $9.3 million impairment
loss related to the non-inventory assets located at the
liquidation stores, as well as $10.4 million in other asset
impairment charges that were primarily related to the mall-based
stores that will be converted to the new accessories concept.

                            Financials

For the fiscal year ended Feb. 2, 2008, the company's net loss
increased to $77,542,000 from $33,095,000 for fiscal year ended
Feb. 3, 2007.  Net loss available to common shareholders for the
fiscal year ended Feb. 2, 2008, increased to $96,801,000 from
$33,095,000 for fiscal year ended Feb. 3, 2007.  

The company's net sales for the fiscal year ended Feb. 2, 2008,
decreased to $280,438,000 from $321,262,000 for fiscal year ended
Feb. 3, 2007.

At Feb. 2, 2008, the company's balance sheet showed $90,589,000 in
total assets, $46,537,000 in total liabilities, $39,033,000 in
preferred stock commitments, and $5,019,000 in common
shareholders' equity.

The company's accumulated deficit at Feb. 2, 2008, increased more
than 132% to $135,876,000 from $58,334,000 at Feb. 3, 2007.

WELLMAN INC: CRO Fees Shouldn't be Charged to Second Lien Lenders
-----------------------------------------------------------------
An ad hoc group of lenders under the Second Lien Term Loan Credit
Agreement of Wellman Inc. and its debtor-affiliates asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to dismiss
the arguments of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
regarding the employment of a chief restructuring officer.

The Ad Hoc Second Lien Lenders are composed of AIG Global
Investment Corp., BlackRock Advisors, Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc., and Solus LP.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 28, the
Creditors Committee disputed the proposed employment of a chief
restructuring officer, asserting that it is costly, and
unnecessary since the Debtors already have a sufficient management
team to assist in their bankruptcy cases.  To the extent the
proposed employment is approved, the panel argued that the CRO
should be paid from the secured creditors' collateral.

On behalf of the Second Lien Lenders, Michael S. Stamer, Esq., at
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in New York, asserts
that any fees paid to the CRO should not be surcharged against the
secured creditors' collateral since its employment is not
primarily for the benefit of the secured creditors.  He points
out that the employment is also a requirement of the postpetition
financing agreement as mandated by the DIP Lenders.

Mr. Stamer further says that pursuant to the final order
approving the DIP Financing, the issue of whether certain fees
and expenses incurred during the Debtors' cases can be surcharged
against the secured creditors' collateral has been preserved, and
the interested parties have reserved their rights with respect
thereto.  

"Therefore, it is unnecessary for the [Creditors] Committee to
continue to raise the issue in response to the various motions
filed by the Debtors, as the propriety of any such surcharge
will be resolved at a later date," Mr. Stamer avers.

WELLMAN INC: Panel Says Stay Has Been Vacated as to Lenders
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Wellman, Inc.,
et al., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York to enter an order:

   (i) recognizing that the automatic stay was vacated by consent
       of the Debtors on the bankruptcy or, alternatively,

  (ii) vacating the automatic stay.

The Creditors Committee believes the Debtors have constructively
consented to the relief of the automatic stay to allow their
prepetition lenders to foreclose on their collateral.

"These cases have been placed by the Debtors on a fast track to a
total liquidation in the next three months.  The decision to
pursue a global asset sale, as well as the form and schedule of
the sale process, reflects the exact sale process selected by the
Prepetition Lenders," Mark R. Somerstein, Esq., at Ropes & Gray
LLP, in New York, said.

Mr. Somerstein notes the $225 million Debtor-in-Possession
Revolving Credit Facility establishes a timeline for an
accelerated Chapter 11 auction sale of substantially all the
Debtors' assets as a going concern by the end of July 2008.  Upon
the closing of the sale, the DIP Facility terminates, cutting off
the Debtors' sole source of financing.

The Committee avers that -- had an explicit Court order for relief
from the automatic stay been entered on the Petition Date -- the
sale procedure and timing would have been substantially similar
to the sale process and schedule currently being pursued.  "As
such, it would be disingenuous to assert that the automatic stay
is precluding the Prepetition Lenders from realizing on their
collateral."

According to the Committee, the sole consequence of an alleged
automatic stay of the rights of the Prepetition Lenders is the
creation of an artificial basis for the Prepetition Lenders to
assert an entitlement to adequate protection, and to obtain,
thereby, collateral rights in unencumbered assets of these
estates that would otherwise be available for distribution to
unsecured creditors.

"This Court should recognize that the sale process being
implemented reflects a consent by the Debtors to the vacation of
the automatic stay for the benefit of the Prepetition Lenders or,
alternatively, the Court should affirmatively vacate the
automatic stay," Mr. Somerstein asserted.

The proceeds of the sale, the Committee laments, are expected to
be woefully insufficient to repay the secured debt obligations
due to the Prepetition Lenders, resulting in the unsecured
creditors receiving no recovery from the sale of this collateral.  
The Committee believes, however, that there is a significant
possibility that certain assets of these estates, not subject to
the sale process, are not encumbered by the liens asserted by the
Prepetition Lenders.

Under the terms of the Final DIP Order, the Prepetition Lenders
will be entitled to assert adequate protection claims to the
extent of any diminution in their collateral resulting from the
imposition of the automatic stay.  The Final DIP Order grants
these adequate protection claims super-priority rights and liens
against all of the property of the Debtors' estates, including
the Unencumbered Assets.  "As a result, each day that the
automatic stay remains in place, the Prepetition Lenders retain
an argument that the automatic stay is causing a diminution in
the value of their collateral, thereby increasing their alleged,
potential adequate protection claims," the Committee points out.

Unless the lien rights asserted by the Prepetition Lenders are
not valid, and the lien rights are currently being investigated
by the Committee, unsecured creditors' best hope of a recovery in
the Chapter 11 cases will derive from the few Unencumbered
Assets, Mr. Somerstein asserts.

Accordingly, the Committee believes the estate must minimize the
estates' exposure to claims for adequate protection.  "Allowing
the Prepetition Lenders the fictitious assertion that they are
subject to the automatic stay provides no benefits to the
Debtors' unsecured creditors, and instead directly prejudices the
rights of the unsecured creditors."

The purpose of an automatic stay is to afford a debtor breathing
room from its creditors, preventing third parties from pursuing
foreclosures and other remedies against the debtor's assets,
Mr. Somerstein notes, citing SEC v. Brennan, 230 F.3d 65, 70 (2d
Cir. 2000).  He notes that in Wellman's cases, however, the
foreclosure sale process chosen by the Prepetition Lenders has
been rocketing towards completion since the Petition Date.  In no
way have the rights of the Prepetition Lenders been stymied by
the automatic stay, he asserts, reiterating that the DIP Facility
has set very tight deadlines for a Liquidation Sale (a functional
foreclosure) of substantially all of the Debtors' assets (the
Prepetition Lenders' alleged collateral).

In the alternative, the Committee wants the Court to vacate the
automatic stay for "cause", pursuant to Section 362(d)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  By seeking adequate protection for the
imposition of the automatic stay, the Prepetition Lenders have
argued that they are being prejudiced by the automatic stay, and
that the Prepetition Lenders would like to foreclose on the
assets that constitute their collateral, the Committee asserts.  
"There is no reason for this Court to compel the automatic stay
to play a role in forestalling the Prepetition Lenders' efforts
in foreclosing on their collateral, and thus the automatic stay
should be modified in that regard."

The Committee adds that the automatic stay should also be lifted
pursuant to Section 362(d)(2).  It notes that the Prepetition
Lenders' collateral is not necessary to an effective
reorganization of the Debtors because no "effective
reorganization" is possible.  "The only possible outcome in these
cases is the preordained Liquidation Sale," Mr. Somerstein
laments.  He points out that while various parties have paid lip
service to attempting a stand alone reorganization in the Chapter
11 cases, the short time frames imposed by the DIP Facility and
the complete lack of any prospect for financing after the
Liquidation Sale renders any "effective reorganization" a
practical impossibility.

The Debtors estimate the principal amount of their prepetition
secured debt at approximately $575,000,000 as of the Petition
Date, comprised of:

   (a) a $225 million prepetition revolving credit facility, which
       had approximately $125 million outstanding as of the
       bankruptcy filing,

   (b) a $185 million prepetition first lien term loan, and

   (c) a $265 million second lien term loan.

WORLDSPACE INC: Grant Thornton Raises Substantial Doubt
-------------------------------------------------------
Grant Thornton LLP in McLean, Va., raised substantial doubt about
WorldSpace, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for the
years ended Dec. 31, 2007, and 2006.  The auditing firm pointed to
the company's net loss, negative working capital, and
shareholders' deficit.  Grant Thornton also cited that the
company's management does not believe its cash on hand and cash
available is sufficient to meet its operating needs during the
coming year.

As reported in yesterday's Troubled Company Reporter, for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2007, the company's net loss increased to

for the year ended Dec. 31, 2007, decreased to $13,784,000 from
$15,611,000 in the prior year period ended Dec. 31, 2006.

At Dec. 31, 2007, the company's balance sheet showed $340,014,000
in total assets and $2,091,745,000 in total liabilities, resulting
in a $1,752,420,000 shareholders' deficit.

The company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2007, also showed strained
liquidity with $16,689,000 in total current assets available to
pay $86,279,000 in total current liabilities.

The company's accumulated deficit increased to $2,494,323,000 from
$2,321,912,000 at Dec. 31, 2006.

                         Yenura Financing

In December 2007, the company entered into a facility agreement
with Yenura Pte Ltd. in which Yenura agreed to make available up
to $40 million from time to time pursuant to draw down notices
issued on or prior to Jan. 31, 2008, in consideration for the
issuance of certain subordinated convertible notes.

The subordinated convertible notes mature on Jan. 3, 2013, and
accrue interest at the rate of 8% per year and shall be payable in
arrears with the first interest date being Jan. 15, 2009.

During the first quarter 2008, the company has drawn
$19.2 million under this facility due to Yenura's slow action in
making the full committed amount available.

Yenura is a company controlled by Noah Samara, chairman and CEO of
Worldspace.

                               Plans

Through the end of December 2007, the company has spent
approximately $1.7 billion in connection with the development and
launch of its business.

With the signing of a major distribution arrangement with Fiat
Group Automobiles S.p.A., WorldSpace is close to launching in
Italy its first mobile service; it expects to launch this mobile
service in early 2009.

In 2009, in addition to Italy, WorldSpace is planning to launch a
mobile service first in Bahrain and then in the United Arab
Emirates and potentially in Switzerland; in each of these
jurisdictions WorldSpace now has the regulatory authorizations to
establish a mobile service.

WorldSpace has delayed previously scheduled launches in the Middle
East in order to take advantage of the enhancements to its planned
mobile system provided by its European standard technical
development activities undertaken for Italy and other countries in
the European Union.

These enhancements include, among other things, a new generation
of satellite receivers, which will receive broadcasts from its
networks of terrestrial repeaters as well as from its satellites.

WorldSpace is planning similar system enhancements in India, where
it initiated a non-mobile service in 2005, subject to the
resolution of the satellite radio regulatory issues and the
formation of a strategic alliance with a local partner.

ZIFF DAVIS: Amends Plan Amid Unsecured Creditors' Support
---------------------------------------------------------
Ziff Davis Media Inc. and its debtor-affiliates reached an
agreement with an ad hoc group of holders of more than 80% in
principal amount of its Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on a consensual plan of
reorganization that substantially de-leverages Ziff Davis' balance
sheet by converting more than $428,000,000 in funded indebtedness
to:

   (a) new common stock of reorganized Ziff Davis Media and

   (b) a new note that will not exceed $57,500,000.

The Plan provides Ziff Davis with sufficient cash to fund its exit
from Chapter 11 as well as its ongoing business plan.  
Additionally, the Plan provides for two pools of cash for
distribution to general unsecured creditors.  The Official
Committee includes both trade creditors and holders of well over
60% of the Debtors' unsecured subordinated notes, which notes
aggregate approximately $186,000,000.

The ad hoc noteholder group has agreed to set aside up to
$24,500,000 to fund the Debtors' operations during the Chapter 11
case as well as after the Debtors emerge from Chapter 11.

"We are pleased to have achieved one of our long-standing goals to
reach a consensual agreement with both our Senior Secured
Noteholders and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors,"
said Jason Young, Chief Executive Officer of Ziff Davis Media.  
"The Plan reflects their confidence in the strength of our
business and our ability to unlock the underlying value in the
Company.  We believe that today's Plan agreement provides the
highest value and best outcome for all constituents and leaves us
with a strong, de-levered balance sheet."

"I would like to thank our customers, partners and employees for
their continued loyalty to Ziff Davis throughout this process,"
continued Mr. Young.  "We are poised to capitalize on the recent
digital momentum that we are experiencing, as shown through the
unique visitor growth in the first quarter, which grew by more
than 20% over the first quarter of last year.  We look forward to
emerging quickly from Chapter 11 so that we can put our complete
focus on operating our business and continuing our strong digital
momentum."

The Second Amended Disclosure Statement and the First Amended
Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, both dated as of April
29, 2008, embody a compromise and settlement between the Debtors,
certain holders of over 80% of the senior secured notes issued
for $205,000,000, and the Creditors Committee, which represents
unsecured creditors.

Under the latest version of the Plan, potential recovery by or
treatment of most unsecured creditors have generally been
sweetened.  Holders of unsecured claims under Class 6 will
receive a pro rata cash distribution of $1,250,000, instead of
$500,000, and thus would improve recovery to 9% from 3.5%.  
Instead of receiving pro rata share of 11.2% of the New Ziff
Davis Holdings Common Stock, holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims
will receive their pro rata share of 10% of the New Stock and
warrants to purchase an aggregate 5% of the shares of the New
Stock.  Class 5 claimants were previously required to vote in
favor of the Plan to be entitled to shares of New Stock, but that
provision has been deleted.  Holders of Class 7 convenience class
claims, which aggregate $915,000, will receive 50% recovery in
cash, instead of 100%.

The Senior Secured Note Holders, which previously reached
settlements with the Debtors, have agreed to compromise their
claims through receipt of cash as set forth in the Plan, New
Senior Senior Secured Notes for $50,000,000 plus the cash funding
at exit, and 90% of new Ziff Davis Holdings Common Stock, relates
Jason Young, the Debtors' chief executive officer.  The prior
version of the Plan had provided that holders of Senior Note
Claims and MHR Note Claims would receive only 88.8% of the New
Stock.

Willis Stein & Partners Management III, L.L.C., which manages
funds owning majority of Ziff Davis Holdings, have also supported
the Plan.  Holders of equity interests will receive zero recovery
under the Plan.  Willis Stein, however, will obtain releases from
the Debtors for any liabilities and claims from any actions,
including in connection with indebtedness for money borrowed by
the Debtors.

The Plan is structured as a joint plan.  Subject to its terms and
conditions, the members of the Ad Hoc Senior Secured Note Holder
Group, the Committee, the Committee Members, Willis Stein and the
MHR Note Holders will support the Plan.  Members of the Ad Hoc
Senior Secured Note Holder Group, each of the Committee Members,
Willis Stein and the MHR Note Holders will vote in favor of the
Plan.  Accordingly, it is expected that Classes 4, 5, and 6 will
vote to accept the Plan.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors':

   -- secured funded bond debt totaled about $242,000,000;

   -- subordinated, unsecured bond debt totaled approximately
      $186,000,000; and

   -- unsecured trade debt totaled approximately $12,300,000,
      exclusive of rejection damage claims.

              New Treatment of Class 4 and 5 Claims

Under the First Amended Plan, Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims
will receive:

   (i) their pro rata share of New Senior Secured Notes in an
       initial principal amount of $50,000,000, plus the Cash
       Funding at Exit;

  (ii) their pro rata share of Cash, except for cash in operating
       accounts and the Cash Funding at Exit;

(iii) their pro rata share of 88.89% of the New Ziff Davis
       Holdings Common Stock; and

  (iv) the proceeds of the indemnity escrow and other funds that
       may be paid to the Debtors in connection with the
       Enterprise Sale.

Holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims will receive their pro rata
share of 10% of the New Ziff Davis Holdings Common Stock, and the
warrants exercisable into shares of New Ziff Davis Holdings
Common Stock representing 5% of the shares of New Ziff Davis
Holdings Common Stock to be issued on the Effective Date.  The
provision is subject to dilution for the New Ziff Davis Holdings
Common Stock allocated to the New Management Incentive Plan and
the potential exercise of the Warrants, each of which will
entitle the holder to purchase from Reorganized Ziff Davis
Holdings one fully paid and non assessable share of New Ziff
Davis Holdings Common Stock at the price per share that implies a
full recovery for the Senior Secured Note Holders and the MHR
Note Holders.

Warrants are warrants exercisable into shares of New Ziff Davis
Holdings Common Stock representing 5% of the shares of New Ziff
Davis Holdings Common Stock to be issued on the Effective Date
which:

   * will entitle the holder to purchase from Reorganized Ziff
     Davis Holdings one fully paid and non assessable share of
     Ziff Davis Holdings Common Stock at the price per share that
     implies a full recovery for the holders of the Senior
     Secured Note Claims and the MHR Note Claims; and

   * will expire automatically on the five-year anniversary of
     the Effective Date.

The Plan also provides: (a) a pro rata Cash distribution to Class
6 Holders of General Unsecured Claims of $1,250,000; and (b) a
Cash distribution to Holders of Class 7 Convenience Class Claims.

             Payment of Fees and Expenses of Trustees

The Debtors will pay the Senior Secured Notes Indenture Trustee's
and the Collateral Trustee's (i) Allowed Administrative
Claims,including Allowed Claims for fees and expenses, in
accordance with the Plan; and (ii) reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the performance of their duties
pursuant to the Plan, as long as the duties are performed before
the Effective Date.  The invoices may be submitted directly to
the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and will not be subject to
approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

to emerge from bankruptcy shortly thereafter.  As a result, the
Plan may be materially modified before approval.

* Moody's Says P&C Insurers' Share Buybacks Could Slow in 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------
The continuation of share buybacks by US property and casualty
insurers should not be a drag on their ratings given the
industry's currently strong financial profile, Moody's Investors
Service concludes in a recent report.  However, Moody's expects
share buyback activity to slow during 2008 compared to record
levels of the last two years given the credit environment.

According to the report's author, Associate Analyst Enrico Leo,
"the combination of robust balance sheets and excellent earnings
(bolstered by reserve releases and an absence of large catastrophe
losses), especially in 2006-07, has led companies to re-evaluate
their capital position in light of the limited growth
opportunities that lay ahead in the softening pricing
environment."

"Insurers will likely put their capital to use through sizeable
share buybacks, business expansion activities (new products, new
geographies) and engaging in merger and acquisition activity," Mr.
Leo says.  "Despite the expectation for continued profitability in
2008 -- absent large catastrophe losses," he adds, "share buyback
activity could slow in the near term, given the current credit
market turmoil."

"At this time," the analyst states, "we don't expect share-buyback
activity alone to lead to downward rating pressure on insurers,
provided that buybacks do not exceed one years' net income and do
not significantly decapitalize the operating companies."

In general, Moody's believes that the share repurchase programs
announced are contemplated within the current ratings, and also
that these programs could be scaled back in the event of a
catastrophe loss or other unexpected events (e.g. asset write-
downs, reserve charges, etc).  "Additionally," Mr. Leo says, "the
return of capital could keep some insurers more disciplined in the
market and could bolster ROE metrics, particularly as the pricing
environment softens."

The analyst added, "some fundamental credit metrics such as
financial leverage will likely be negatively affected, but we will
continue to also focus on the importance of prospective
profitability and interest coverage metrics in our analysis."

Over the intermediate term, Moody's believes that the downward
pressure on P&C rates, narrowing underwriting margins, and return
of capital will likely lower capital adequacy levels back in line
with expectations for current ratings.  "We expect insurers to
look for the most efficient use of their capital," Mr. Leo says,
"but concurrently to maintain appropriate capital adequacy as they
manage the dynamics of strategic and capital decisions,
particularly as market conditions deteriorate across the broad P&C
sector."


* S&P Takes Various Rating Actions on Synthetic CDO Transactions
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services took these rating actions on
various U.S. synthetic collateralized debt obligation
transactions:

  -- S&P lowered 116 ratings, one of which was also placed on
     CreditWatch negative;

  -- Fourteen of the lowered ratings remain on CreditWatch
     negative;

  -- S&P placed four ratings on CreditWatch negative;

  -- S&P withdrew 29 ratings after the classes were terminated;
     and

  -- S&P affirmed 15 ratings and removed them from CreditWatch
     negative.
     
S&P reviewed the ratings on all of the classes that S&P had
previously placed on CreditWatch negative to determine the
appropriate rating action.  If the synthetic rated
overcollateralization ratio was lower than 100% at the current
date and at a 90-day-forward projected date, S&P lowered the
rating on the tranche.  If the SROC ratio was lower than 100% at
the current date at the lower rating level and above 100% at a 90-
day-forward projected date, S&P lowered the rating on the tranche
and left it on CreditWatch negative.  If the SROC ratio was above
100% at the current rating level, S&P affirmed the rating.

* S&P Lowers Ratings on 196 Classes from 96 US NIM Securities
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on 196
classes from 96 U.S. net interest margin securities transactions
backed by U.S. subprime residential mortgage-backed securities.  
Of these 196 classes, S&P downgraded class A from SASCO NIMS Trust
2007-WF1 to 'A-/Watch Neg' from 'AA' due to the downgrade of the
respective bond insurer.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its  
ratings on 52 classes from 40 U.S. NIMS transactions backed by
U.S. subprime RMBS.  Additionally, S&P's ratings on 10 classes
from nine subprime NIMS deals remain on CreditWatch negative based
on the ratings on the respective bond insurers.

The distribution of the rating actions involving the 195 ratings
being lowered (excludes the bond insured class mentioned above) is
as:

     -- 48 ratings from 21 transactions were lowered to 'CC';
     -- 104 ratings from 57 transactions were lowered to 'CCC';
     -- One rating from one transaction was lowered to 'B-';
     -- 31 ratings from 28 transactions were lowered to 'B';
     -- 10 ratings from 10 transactions were lowered to 'B+'; and
     -- One rating from one transaction was lowered to 'BB';

Standard & Poor's Surveillance Assumption

The primary source of payments to NIMS is the difference between
the interest payments collected on the mortgages in the underlying
transactions and the interest owed to the related RMBS, together
with prepayment penalties and potential payments from derivative
contracts.  S&P believe that the current levels of delinquencies
and losses occurring in the subprime mortgage market have
significantly reduced the levels of excess interest available to
many of the NIMS.

S&P evaluated a number of performance measures for the U.S.
subprime NIMS RMBS transactions, including the results of the cash
flow analysis.  These performance measures included the amount and
type of cash received from the underlying transactions; the rate
at which the NIMS are repaying relative to original projections;
whether or not the NIMS have incurred actual interest shortfalls;
and the outstanding principal balance relative to the amount of
cash being received from its underlying transactions.

The cash flow projections include the residual cash flows from
each underlying U.S. RMBS transaction's cash flow stress run, as
well as the projected proceeds from any cap contract, if
applicable.  The cash flow projections indicated whether or not,
in S&P's view, each NIMS class is expected to pay off and whether
or not interest shortfalls will occur.

Impact on Current Ratings

Losses on the underlying U.S. subprime RMBS, and the timing of
such losses, have a direct effect on the cash flows to the NIMS
transactions.  Once the level of overcollateralization for an
underlying transaction falls below its target, the excess spread
available to the NIMS transaction is reduced or eliminated as the
underlying transaction covers current and previous losses
and rebuilds to its overcollateralization target.

The downgrades affect a total of 96 U.S. subprime RMBS NIMS
transactions.  The 196 downgraded classes have a current balance
of $1.535 billion, which represents 74.44% of the approximately
$2.062 billion currently outstanding in U.S. NIMS backed by U.S.
subprime mortgage securities rated by Standard & Poor's in 2007.  
The original total balance of U.S. NIMS backed by all types of
residential mortgage securities issued in the non-agency market in
2007 was more than $5.382 billion.

Approximately 63.93% of the downgraded NIMS classes, as a
percentage of the total $1.535 billion in downgraded NIMS
securities, were rated 'BBB' or lower before these rating actions.  
The resulting ratings associated with the downgraded classes, as a
percentage of the total $1.535 billion in downgraded securities,
are:

                      Rating                (%)
                      ------                ---
                      CC                  22.68
                      CCC                 57.35
                      B-                   0.24
                      B                   13.61
                      B+                   5.44
                      BB                   0.12
                      A-/Watch Neg         0.57

The downgrades reflect S&P's opinion that the cash flow
projections run at the time S&P assigned the original ratings to
these transactions indicated that many of the classes from these
transactions should have either paid in full already or should be
ahead of their current payment levels.  However, due to the
performance of the underlying transactions, as well as higher-
than-projected losses and prepayment speeds, these NIMS
transactions have not received the cash flows originally
projected.  The net impact is that these transactions currently
have higher class balances than they were projected to have at
this point, due, in S&P's view, to the decreasing amount of cash
flow that is being generated from the underlying deals.

This scenario is exacerbated in structures where there are
multiple NIMS classes.  S&P believe that the sequential paydown
structure of the NIMS compounds how far behind in paydown the
lower-rated classes are relative to S&P's projections.  This in
turn effectively prevents these lower-rated classes from receiving
any cash flow until the above NIMS classes are paid down.

The 52 classes with affirmed ratings and the 10 classes with
ratings on CreditWatch have a current balance of $0.527 billion,
which represents 25.56% of the approximately $2.062 billion
currently outstanding in U.S. NIMS backed by U.S. subprime
mortgage securities rated by Standard & Poor's in 2007.

Approximately 21.22% of the U.S. subprime NIMS classes with
affirmed ratings and the 10 classes with ratings on CreditWatch,
as a percentage of the total $0.527 billion in NIMS securities
with affirmed ratings, were rated 'BBB' or lower before these
rating actions.  The affirmed ratings on these classes, as a
percentage of the total $0.527 billion in securities with affirmed
ratings, are:

                      Rating                (%)
                      ------                ---
                      CCC                  2.55
                      BB                   2.92
                      BB+                  4.28
                      BBB-                10.79
                      BBB                  0.68
                      BBB+                 0.50
                      A-                  19.29
                      A-/Watch Neg        26.37
                      A                    2.80
                      AA/Watch Neg         7.76
                      AAA                 22.06

S&P also affirmed its ratings on the NIMS classes that are bond-
insured or are projected to pay in full under the aforementioned
surveillance assumptions.

NIMS are generally short-term instruments with average tenures of
less than 36 months.  The average balance for the outstanding
NIMS, as a percentage of the initial NIMS balance, is as:

                  Issuance by quarter         (%)
                  -------------------         ---
                  First-quarter 2007        48.80
                  Second-quarter 2007       55.26
                  Third-quarter 2007        42.27
                  Fourth-quarter 2007       0.00*

            * No NIMS were rated in fourth-quarter 2007.

Bond-Insured Classes

S&P affirmed its ratings on 10 bond-insured classes from nine U.S.
subprime NIMS deals so they are in line with the current rating on
the respective insurers.  In addition, S&P downgraded the class A
SASCO NIMS Trust 2007-WF1 to 'A-/Watch Neg' from 'AA' due to the
downgrade of the respective bond insurer.

Impact on ABCP, SIVs, and CDOs

Standard & Poor's has performed a global review of its rated
asset-backed commercial paper conduits with exposure to these
downgraded U.S. NIMS classes.  S&P's review shows that the rating
actions do not adversely affect the ratings on these ABCP
conduits.

Standard & Poor's has also completed a review of all the
structured investment vehicle and SIV-lite structures it rates
with regard to exposure to the U.S. subprime NIMS classes
downgraded.  In S&P's view, no rated SIV or SIV-lite structure has
exposure to the affected U.S. NIMS classes, and therefore the
rating actions do not adversely affect S&P's  ratings on SIVs
and SIV-lites.

Standard & Poor's has also completed a global review of the
collateralized debt obligation transactions it rates with regard
to exposure to these downgraded U.S. subprime NIMS classes.  S&P's  
review shows that the rating actions will have no impact on the
ratings on its publicly rated CDO transactions.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the performance of the
underlying subprime RMBS transactions and the related NIMS.  S&P  
regularly review its assumptions as new information becomes
available, and S&P will continue to revise its assumptions,
publish updates, and keep market participants informed of changes.


* S&P Cuts Ratings on 2,183 Classes of RMBS from 334 Transactions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on 2,183
classes of U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities from 334
transactions backed by Alternative-A loan collateral issued in
2006.  S&P removed 810 of the lowered ratings from CreditWatch
with negative implications.  In addition, S&P placed 487 ratings
on CreditWatch negative.  Finally, S&P affirmed its ratings
on 144 classes and removed them from CreditWatch negative.  All of
the ratings that were removed from CreditWatch were placed on
CreditWatch on Feb. 29, 2008.  The classes affected by the
negative rating actions represent an issuance amount of
approximately $41.05 billion, or about 6.10% of the par amount of
U.S. RMBS transactions backed by Alt-A mortgage loans rated by
Standard & Poor's in 2006.

2006 Alt-A Rating Actions

The downgrades and CreditWatch placements reflect our opinion that
projected credit support for the affected classes is insufficient
to maintain the ratings at their previous levels, given S&P's
current projected losses.  S&P calculated its current projected
losses using the 2006 Alt-A default curves.  Due to current market
conditions, S&P are assuming that it will take approximately 15
months to liquidate loans in foreclosure and approximately eight
months to liquidate loans categorized as real estate owned.  In
addition, S&P are assuming a loss severity of 34% for U.S. Alt-A
RMBS transactions backed by fixed-rate and long-reset hybrid
collateral issued in 2006; S&P are assuming a loss severity of 35%
for transactions issued in 2006 backed by mortgage loans that have
a negative amortization feature; and S&P are assuming a loss
severity of 35% for transactions secured by adjustable-rate
collateral and short-reset hybrid collateral.

The lowered ratings reflect our assessment of credit support under
one or more scenarios that use a constant prepayment rate,
including one equal to the lower of the lifetime or 12-month CPR.  
To assess the creditworthiness of each class, S&P reviewed the
individual delinquency and loss trends of each transaction to find
changes, if any, in risk characteristics, and the ability to
withstand additional credit deterioration.  Each class that has an
affirmed 'AAA' rating generally can withstand approximately 150%
of S&P's projected loss assumptions under its analysis, subject to
individual caps assumed on specific transactions.  S&P determined
the caps by limiting the amount of remaining defaults to 85% of
the current pool balances.

The rating actions announced resolve all of the CreditWatch
placements on the 2006 vintage U.S. Alt-A RMBS taken on Feb. 29,
2008.  All of the CreditWatch actions affect 'AAA' rated
certificates.  Standard & Poor's will analyze these certificates
to assess whether further rating actions are warranted by
analyzing available credit enhancement to the projected losses
during the timeframe S&P expect the certificates to be
outstanding.

Standard & Poor's will continue to monitor the RMBS transactions
it rates and take rating actions, including CreditWatch
placements, when appropriate.

Factors Driving RMBS Rating Actions
  
Mortgage Pool Performance
  
Monthly performance data reveals that delinquencies and
foreclosures continue to accumulate at an increasing rate for the
2006 vintage.  As of the March 25, 2008, distribution date,
serious delinquencies on all U.S. Alt-A RMBS transactions issued
during 2006 were 10.57%, up 54.99% since December 2007.  During
the same time period, cumulative realized losses have increased to
0.25% from 0.10%.
  
This delinquency trend, together with loan-level risk
characteristics and continuing deterioration in the macroeconomic
outlook, have caused us to increase our lifetime loss projections.  
For the transactions with negative amortizing collateral, S&P
project aggregate lifetime losses between 7.00% and 7.50% of the
original balance.  For the transactions backed by fixed- and long-
reset hybrid collateral, we project aggregate lifetime losses
between 4.50% and 5.00%.  Finally, S&P project aggregate lifetime
losses between 6.00% and 6.50% for transactions backed by
adjustable-rate and short-reset hybrid collateral.

In reviewing the 2006 Alt-A transactions, S&P employed the
surveillance assumptions announced on Jan. 15, 2008, and described
in "U.S. RMBS Surveillance, CDO Of ABS Assumptions Revised Amid
Defaults, Negative Housing Outlook."  S&P believe that the
application of expected lifetime losses has become appropriate as
the depth and duration of the housing downturn continues to
increase.  S&P lowered the ratings on those classes that had
expected lifetime losses greater than credit enhancement to 'CCC'.  

In addition, S&P lowered its ratings on many of the 2006 vintage
certificates previously rated 'B' and 'CCC' and various ratings
from pools with extraordinarily high levels of severely delinquent
loans to 'CC', as our analysis revealed that these classes have a
greater likelihood of default in the near future.  The extent to
which S&P adjusted the ratings was based on its view of each
class' ability to withstand losses in excess of its projections.

The classes with ratings lowered and ratings placed on
CreditWatch negative as a percentage of the original balance of
the total issuance amount affected ($41.05 billion).

                             *********

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.
