AMERICREDIT CORP: Moody's Cuts Senior Unsecured Debt Rating to B1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of AmeriCredit
Corp., including its Corporate Family Rating (to B1 from Ba2) and
its senior unsecured debt rating (to B1 from Ba3).  The ratings
are on review for possible further downgrade.

The downgrade reflects the effects of potential franchise
impairment and challenges to the company's wholesale funding
model.

ACF has implemented a sharp curtailment of its loan originations.
>From a peak of $8.5 billion in fiscal 2007, originations have been
cut to a current annual run-rate of about $3 billion.  This
contraction mainly reflects a challenging environment for ACF's
wholesale funding model; it also reflects weakening economic
conditions and deteriorating asset quality, the product of
increased frequency of default well as increased severity of loss
in a softening used car market.  Although the cutback in
originations volume is consistent with industry trends, in Moody's
view it nevertheless poses a potential risk of impairment to the
company's franchise value.  This risk is magnified by the monoline
nature of the company's operations.

In the June quarter ACF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$213 million pre-tax ($135 million after-tax); the goodwill
related to the company's 2007 acquisition of near-prime originator
Long Beach Acceptance Corp. and 2006 acquisition of specialty
prime originator Bay View Acceptance Corp. No new origination
volumes are expected to be generated in these channels going
forward.

Regarding funding, ACF's wholesale funding model has been
adversely affected by credit market contractions. The credit
crunch has resulted in reduced market appetite for structured
finance investments, including sub-prime and near-prime auto
asset-backed securities that comprise a majority of ACF's managed
funding.  Moreover, the monoline insurers who historically have
wrapped most of ACF's ABS issues have been beset by their own
financial problems and resulting negative ratings actions.  As a
consequence, their capacity to insure additional ACF
securitization volume is uncertain.  ACF has a history of
executing senior/subordinated-structured ABS transactions and is
pursuing this funding option. In addition, in April 2008 ACF
entered into a $2 billion forward purchase commitment with
Deutsche Bank, pursuant to which Deutsche agreed to purchase
triple-A rated ABS in public term ABS deals -- monoline wrapped or
senior/subordinated in structure - under ACF's sub-prime AMCAR
program. Nevertheless, in Moody's view, the combination of the
ongoing credit crunch and negative rating developments for the
monoline insurers is having an adverse effect on ACF's financial
flexibility.

Balancing these credit challenges are ACF's significant position
(despite recent cutbacks) in the large, fragmented indirect sub-
prime auto market; adequate store of corporate liquidity in the
form of $433 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents;
significant tangible equity base; efficient servicing systems and
infrastructure and proprietary credit scoring models for
underwriting and pricing; and capable senior management team.

During its review, Moody's will evaluate ACF's progress in
executing new funding transactions that preserve its cash, capital
capacity, and franchise positioning. The review will also consider
developments in ACF's asset quality and core profitability.

Moody's has equalized ACF's Corporate Family Rating with its
senior unsecured rating. This reflects the fact that ACF's
recourse indebtedness is of a single class -- senior unsecured
notes.

AmeriCredit (ticker symbol ACF) is a leading independent
automobile finance company based in Fort Worth, Texas.  As of 30
June 2008 the company reported total managed receivables of
approximately $15 billion.


ASCENDIA BRANDS: Gets Interim OK to Access WFF's $9.4 Mil. Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware authorized Ascendia Brands Inc. and its
debtor-affiliates to obtain, in an interim basis, up to $9,428,000
in postpetition financing from a consortium of financial
institution led by Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as arranger and
administrative agent, pursuant to a debtor-in-possession loan
agreement dated Aug. 5, 2008.

A hearing is set for Sept. 3, 2008, at 1:00 p.m., to consider
final approval of the DIP motion.  Objections, if any, are due
Aug. 28, 2008, by 5:00 p.m.

The Debtors tell the Court that they do not have (i) sufficient
working capital to fund their business, and (ii) available cash to
pay their employees.  The Debtors say that they have an urgent
need to access postpetition financing to minimize disruption of
their business operations.

Before their bankruptcy filing, the Debtors entered into:

   i) a first lien credit agreement, with Wells Fargo and
      Plainfield Direct LLC dated Feb. 9, 2007.  The initial
      first lien credit agreement provided for:

      -- a $40,000,000 A-1 term loan;
      -- a $40,000,000 A-2 term loan; and
      -- a $30,000,000 revolving credit facility with obligations
         due thereunder.

  ii) a second lien credit agreement with Watershed Administrative
      LLC, as administrative agent, to provide $50,000,000 B Term
      loan secured by a second priority liens in substantially all
      of the Debtors' assets, among other things.  Approximately
      $56,300,000 remain outstanding as of Aug. 5, 2008.

On Jan. 15, 2008, the Debtors reached an agreement with a
consortium of financial institution including Planfield Direct,
the initial lender, wherein it made additional $3,000,000 in Term-
A-1A loan to the Debtors, which is secured by a first priority
liens in substantially all of the Debtors assets.

As of Aug. 4, 2008, the Debtors' prepetition obligations were:

   -- $18,939,721 in revolving obligations;
   -- $31,166,666 in Term Loan A-1 obligations;
   -- $6,032,240 in Term Loan A-1A obligations;
   -- $40,447,718 in Term Loan A-2 obligations; and
   -- accrued interest, charges and expenses under the terms of
      the first lien credit agreement.

In addition to the prepetition obligations, in connection with an
assets purchase from unsecured creditor Coty Inc., the Debtors
issued a $20,000,000 subordinated unsecured note to Coty.  The
note is subordinated to all senior indebtedness due Sept. 9, 2012
plus interest at 17.25% per annum.  Balance outstanding under the
note is $25,385,937, as of July 31, 2008.

The Debtors say that the first lien credit agreement has been
amended by the DIP loan agreement, which does not extinguish the
obligation for the payment of money outstanding under the
preptition obligations.  Under the DIP loan agreement, amount of
postpetition revolving loans -- supplemental line advances -- is
capped at $26,428,000 including the prepetition loan.

Interest rate on the supplemental line advances under the
prepetition revolving loan is the greater of the rate from time to
time announced by Wells Fargo at its principal office in San
Francisco as its "prime rate" and 7.5%; plus 4.75%.

Wells Fargo will be paid $500,000 in DIP financing fees as party
of the agreement.

To secure their DIP obligations, Wells Fargo will be granted
security interest and superpriority administrative expense status
over all other interest and liens of every kind pursuant to
Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The DIP agreement contains customary and appropriate events of
defaults.  Furthermore, the agreement is subject to carve-outs for
payments to statutory fees payable to the U.S. Trustee, Clerk of
the Court; and professional advisor to the Debtors.  There is a
$75,000 carve-out to fund post-default allowed professional fees
and post-asset sale closing expenses.

The DIP facility will mature on Oct. 3, 2008.

agreement dated Aug. 5, 2008, is available for free at:

ATA AIRLINES: Slates Aug. 13 Auction of Aircraft-Related Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
ATA Airlines Inc. informed parties-in-interest that it will be
holding a public auction of its aircraft-related assets in
Hawaii, starting at 9:30 a.m., Hawaii-Aleutian time, on Aug. 13,
2008, at 2644 Waiwai Loop in Honolulu.

Starman Bros. Auctions Inc., the airlines' auctioneer, will
conduct the sale pursuant to these terms:

   (1) The sale is to be conducted without reserve and no item  
       is subject to a reserve price.  All buyers are required
       to pay the entire price including tax after the sale is
       completed.

   (2) Buyers have 72 hours from the time of the auction to
       remove the property that has been sold to them and
       will be liable for all expenses of storage if they fail
       to do so within that period.

   (3) Bidders are not allowed to operate any equipment unless
       allowed by ATA Airlines.  If permission is granted,
       the operation is at the bidders' own risk and they will
       indemnify the airlines and Starman Bros., for loss,
       injury or damage that may occur as a result of the
       operation.

   (4) No agent or representative of ATA Airlines and Starman
       Bros., is authorized to make warranty or representation
       as to the property subject for sale.   The airlines and
       the auctioneer will not be liable for any incorrect

   (5) In case a buyer fails to comply with the terms of the
       sale, Starman Bros., has the right to resell the
       purchased items and any deposits made will be forfeited.  
       In the event the property is resold, the forfeiting
       buyer will be held liable for any deficiency or costs   
       resulting from the resale as well as any other damages
       sustained by ATA Airlines.

Starman Bros., will file a report of sale within seven days after
the auction and furnish counsel for the U.S. Trustee, the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., a copy of the report.  The firm will also file with
the report an affidavit listing the commission received and costs
reimbursed.

No further hearing is required to approve the results of the
auction or authorize the payment of commission and reimbursement
of expenses to Starman Bros., unless an objection to the report
and affidavit is filed within five days after their issuance.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 30, 2008,
ATA Airlines Inc. obtained the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Indiana to auction off
its remaining aircraft-related equipment and miscellaneous assets
stored in its facilities in Dallas, Indianapolis and Hawaii.

                        About ATA Airlines

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, ATA Airlines, Inc., is a
diversified passenger airline operating in two principal business
lines -- a low cost carrier providing scheduled passenger service
that leverages a code share agreement with Southwest Airlines; and
a charter operator that focused primarily on providing charter
service to the U.S. government and military.  ATA is a wholly
owned subsidiary of New ATA  Acquisition, Inc. -- a wholly owned
subsidiary of New ATA Investment, Inc., which in turn, is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Global Aero Logistics Inc.  ATA Acquisition
also owns another holding company subsidiary, World Air Holdings,
Inc., which it acquired through merger on August 14, 2007.  World
Air Holdings owns and operates two other airlines, North American
Airlines and World Airways.

ATA Airlines and its affiliates filed for chapter 11 protection on
Oct. 26, 2004 (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case Nos. 04-19866, 04-19868
through 04-19874).  The Honorable Basil H. Lorch III confirmed the
Debtors' plan of reorganization on Jan. 31, 2006.  The Debtors'
emerged from bankruptcy on Feb. 28, 2006.

Global Aero Logistics acquired certain of ATA's operations after
its first bankruptcy.  The remaining ATA affiliates that were not
substantively consolidated in the company's first bankruptcy case
were sold or otherwise liquidated.

ATA Airlines filed for Chapter 22 on April 2, 2008 (Bankr. S.D.
Ind. Case No. 08-03675), citing the unexpected cancellation of a
key contract for ATA's military charter business, which made it
impossible for ATA to obtain additional capital to sustain its
operations or restructure the business.  ATA discontinued all
operations subsequent to the bankruptcy filing.  ATA's Chapter 22
bankruptcy petition lists assets and liabilities each in the range
of $100 million to $500 million.

The Debtor is represented in its Chapter 22 case by Haynes and
Boone, LLP, and Baker & Daniels, LLP, as bankruptcy counsel.

The United States Trustee for Region 10 appointed five members to
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Otterbourg,
Steindler, Houston & Rosen, P.C., serves as bankruptcy counsel to
the Committee.  FTI Consulting, Inc., acts as the panel's
financial advisors.  The Court gave ATA Airlines Inc. until
Feb. 26, 2009, to file its Chapter 11 plan and April 27, 2009, to
solicit acceptances of that plan.

ATA AIRLINES: Files Passenger Status Report
-------------------------------------------
ATA Airlines, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Indiana a status report, providing a summary
of the contact information of passengers who purchased tickets for
flights scheduled to depart after April 3, 2008, and the customers
who participated in its frequent flyer programs.

The move was in response to the Court's directive issued at the
June 27, 2008 hearing to consider approval of the proposed claims
bar dates as well as the objections raised by  Nancy Gargula,
U.S. Trustee for Region 10.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 3, 2008, the
U.S. Trustee urged the Court to deny approval of the proposed
deadline for creditors to file their claims against the airlines.  
The U.S. Trustee argued that ATA Airlines failed to list as
creditors in its schedules those passengers those passengers who
purchased tickets before April 3, 2008, for flights scheduled to
occur after that date, making it impossible to determine the cost
of serving them with a notice of bankruptcy.

In its status report, ATA Airlines disclosed that there are about  
40,874 passengers who purchased tickets for flights scheduled to
occur after the bankruptcy filing through the ATA-maintained
systems while there are about 89,018 booked flights through
travel agencies and tour operators.

Of the 40,874 passengers, ATA Airlines was able to get the names,
as well as the mailing, billing and electronic mail addresses of
about 40,672 passengers.  For the other passengers, the airlines
only managed to get their electronic mail addresses.

With respect to the passengers who booked their flights with the
travel agencies or tour operators, ATA Airlines did not get their
addresses but was able to retrieve all their names and tie them
to the concerned agencies and operators.

The status report also shows that there are about 20,565 who
booked their flights through another airline excluding Southwest
Airlines.  ATA Airlines likewise failed to get their addresses
but retrieved all their names and tied them to the concerned
airlines.  ATA Airlines does not have the names of the passengers
who may have purchased tickets through Southwest Airlines.

According to the report, there are 38,050 people who participated
in the frequent flyer programs and who had accumulated enough
reward points for a free ticket.  The status report, however,
notes that there might have been some duplication committed.  ATA
Airlines retrieved the names as well as the mailing and billing
addresses of the participants.

Terry Hall, Esq., at Baker & Daniels LLP, in Indianapolis,
Indiana, said the airlines does not have readily ascertainable
contact information for the passengers who booked ATA flights
through a travel agency, tour operator or other airline.

"Almost all of the travel agents contacted expressed privacy and
confidentiality concerns about releasing customer contact
information," Ms. Hall said, adding that many of the travel
agents have internal policies that prohibit release of the
contact information.
                                                                    
"Additionally, it may be the case that a significant number of
the travel agents will not be able to retrieve the contact
information for the postpetition ticket holders or, if retrieval
is possible, it would take weeks to compile the contact
information," she further said.

                        About ATA Airlines

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, ATA Airlines, Inc., is a
diversified passenger airline operating in two principal business
lines -- a low cost carrier providing scheduled passenger service
that leverages a code share agreement with Southwest Airlines; and
a charter operator that focused primarily on providing charter
service to the U.S. government and military.  ATA is a wholly
owned subsidiary of New ATA  Acquisition, Inc. -- a wholly owned
subsidiary of New ATA Investment, Inc., which in turn, is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Global Aero Logistics Inc.  ATA Acquisition
also owns another holding company subsidiary, World Air Holdings,
Inc., which it acquired through merger on August 14, 2007.  World
Air Holdings owns and operates two other airlines, North American
Airlines and World Airways.

ATA Airlines and its affiliates filed for chapter 11 protection on
Oct. 26, 2004 (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case Nos. 04-19866, 04-19868
through 04-19874).  The Honorable Basil H. Lorch III confirmed the
Debtors' plan of reorganization on Jan. 31, 2006.  The Debtors'
emerged from bankruptcy on Feb. 28, 2006.

Global Aero Logistics acquired certain of ATA's operations after
its first bankruptcy.  The remaining ATA affiliates that were not
substantively consolidated in the company's first bankruptcy case
were sold or otherwise liquidated.

ATA Airlines filed for Chapter 22 on April 2, 2008 (Bankr. S.D.
Ind. Case No. 08-03675), citing the unexpected cancellation of a
key contract for ATA's military charter business, which made it
impossible for ATA to obtain additional capital to sustain its
operations or restructure the business.  ATA discontinued all
operations subsequent to the bankruptcy filing.  ATA's Chapter 22
bankruptcy petition lists assets and liabilities each in the range
of $100 million to $500 million.

The Debtor is represented in its Chapter 22 case by Haynes and
Boone, LLP, and Baker & Daniels, LLP, as bankruptcy counsel.

The United States Trustee for Region 10 appointed five members to
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Otterbourg,
Steindler, Houston & Rosen, P.C., serves as bankruptcy counsel to
the Committee.  FTI Consulting, Inc., acts as the panel's
financial advisors.  The Court gave ATA Airlines Inc. until
Feb. 26, 2009, to file its Chapter 11 plan and April 27, 2009, to
solicit acceptances of that plan.

AVENTINE RENEWABLE: S&P Affirms 'B+' LT Corp. Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' long-term
corporate credit rating on Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings Inc.
(AVR) and removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it was placed
with negative implications on May 2, 2008. The outlook is
negative.

The resolution of the CreditWatch follows the alleviation of two
back-to-back liquidity concerns: failed auctions in the auction
rate securities (ARS) market resolved June 13 and poor market
crush spreads in the second quarter of 2008 that had the potential
to significantly reduce cash from operations. Because Aventine
liquidated its ARS position at roughly 77 cents on the dollar and
realized $43 million in cash from operations in the second quarter
(due largely to favorable corn hedges that lowered corn costs to
92 cents per bushel below that of Chicago Board of Trade [CBOT]
spot prices), the immediate pressures on the company's credit
quality have abated.  Given Aventine's current expansion and
construction of two new facilities (in Aurora, Neb., and Mount
Vernon, Ind.), S&P views ample liquidity as crucial to successful
timely completion of these facilities by the first quarter of
2009.

"We remain concerned that liquidity could tighten over the next
two to three quarters," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Justin Martin. Based on second-quarter 2008 results, the company
has $190 million of costs left to complete construction, and
roughly $245.7 million of liquidity available ($114.4 in cash and
$131.3 available on the revolving facility). With 220 million
gallons of new capacity coming online (assuming successful
completion) working capital needs will increase. Using a 10-day
and 15-day inventory assumption for corn and ethanol,
respectivelyand assuming prices of $6.50 per bushel and $3 per
gallonworking capital requirements would increase by $34 million.
This figure also gives credit for just-in-time corn delivery at
Mount Vernon, which is a management assumption that may or may not
materialize.

In addition, as the volume of marketing alliance gallons
increases, additional working capital will be needed. Cash
settlement of hedged positions (e.g., short gas futures used to
hedge gas-plus ethanol contracts) may place additional strains on
liquidity.

Total cash needs from construction and working capital increases
could approximate $224 million (or more), necessitating a draw on
the revolver that could lower availability below the $50 million
threshold at which the fixed-charge coverage covenant of 1.1x
takes effect. Poor market conditions would therefore have the
doubly damaging affect of forcing a draw on the facility while
making the company vulnerable to a potential covenant violation.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's concerns about the company's
liquidity. S&P will continue to monitor Aventine's cash and
liquidity position closely. As favorable corn hedges for the
remainder of the year roll off and the company's exposure to spot
prices (or new hedge terms) increases, market conditions will have
a strong influence on the company's credit quality. Among key
credit drivers will be realized crush spreads and liquidity. S&P
could lower the rating if realized crush spreads fall to 80 cents-
90 cents per gallon or revolver availability falls below $50
million.

BANC OF AMERICA: Fitch Places Four Low-B Ratings Under Neg. Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed these classes of Banc of America
Commercial Mortgage Inc., series 2006-3 on Rating Watch Negative:

  -- $12.3 million 'BB+' class J;
  -- $7.4 million 'BB' class K;
  -- $7.4 million 'BB-' class L;
  -- $2.5 million 'B+' class M.

The classes have been placed on Rating Watch Negative due to the
exposure to seven single-tenant retail loans, of which Boscov's
Inc. is the borrower and tenant.  Boscov's filed Chapter 11
bankruptcy on Aug. 4, 2008 and plans to close these stores.  There
are eight Boscov's loans in this transaction with total principal
balance of $133.1 million (6.8% of the pool), only the seven loans
with total exposure of $117.4 million (6%) are affected.  The
stores are attached to shopping centers with strong owner
operators, four of which are owned by Simon Properties Group,
Inc., two General Growth Properties and one CBL & Associates
Properties, Inc.

The malls are not part of the collateral to the loans.  When
Boscov's acquired these stores from Federated Department Stores in
2006, the company pledged each individual asset as collateral to
finance the purchases.

Given the uncertainty of the loan resolution, Fitch applied a
conservative estimate of value.  Fitch will evaluate the ratings
as additional information becomes available from the borrower and
the servicer.

BOSCOV'S INC: Gets Okay to Borrow $250MM Under BofA DIP Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
The recent tightening in the credit markets has negatively
impacted operations of Boscov's Inc. and its affiliated debtors
operations and severely strained their liquidity, as their cost of
capital has increased and many suppliers have narrowed their
credit terms, David G. Heiman, Esq., at Jones Day, in New York,
the Debtors' proposed counsel, relates.  The Debtors'
reorganization, he says, depends in large part on restoring
vendor, customer and employee confidence and maintaining the
operation of their business as they restructure.

The Debtors retained Lehman Brothers, Inc., to further their
efforts to raise new capital and secure postpetition financing.  
However, Mr. Heiman says none of the potential lenders approached
by the Debtors was willing to extend credit on a junior priority
basis given that substantially all of the Debtors' assets are
encumbered by the liens and security interests securing the
Debtors' obligations under about $400,000,000 of prepetition debt
loans.

Accordingly, to finance their reorganization process, the Debtors
sought and obtained authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware, on an interim basis, to obtain up to
$250,000,000 of senior revolving loans, to be funded in
conjunction with up to $25,000,000 "last out revolver advance,"
from Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for a group of
lenders.

The DIP Facility will be used, among other things, (i) to
refinance on a rolling basis the obligations owing under the more
than $300,000,000 Prepetition First Lien Credit Facility and pay
related transaction fees and expenses; (ii) for working capital
and general corporate purposes of the Debtors; and (iii) for the
payment of postpetition expenses arising in connection with the
Debtors' bankruptcy cases.

The principal terms of the DIP Credit Facility are:

   Borrower:          Boscov's Department Stores, LLC, and
                      SDS. Inc.

   Administrative   
   Agent and Lender:  Bank of America, N.A., as administrative
                      agent for a syndicate of lenders
   
   Guarantors:        Boscov's, Inc., Boscov's Transportation
                      Company, LLC, Boscov's PSI, Inc., Boscov's
                      Investment Company, Boscov's Finance
                      Company, Inc., and Retail Construction &
                      Development, Inc.

   DIP Facility:      A $225,000,000 senior revolving credit
                      facility to be funded in conjunction with
                      up to a $25,000,000 "last revolver
                      advance."  The Revolver contains a sublimit
                      of $50,000,000 for the issuance of standby
                      and documentary letters of credit.  Swing
                      line loans will be made available by the
                      DIP Agent on a "same day" basis in an
                      aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000.

   Interest Rate
   & Applicable
   Margins:           The Revolver will accrue interest at either
                      (i) the Prime Rate established from time to
                      time by the DIP Agent plus the Applicable
                      Margin, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the
                      Applicable Margin.  Swing line loans will
                      bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the
                      Applicable Margin.  Interest on Prime Rate
                      loans will be due and payable monthly in
                      arrears, and interest on LIBOR Rate loans
                      will be payable at the end of each
                      applicable interest period or quarterly in
                      arrears, whichever is earlier.

                      Applicable Margin for the Revolver Loan is
                      1.00% for Prime Rate loans, and 3.00% for
                      LIBOR Rate loans.

                      Applicable Margin for the Last Out Revolver
                      Advance is 2.25% for Prime Rate loans, and
                      4.25% for LIBOR Rate loans.

                      Upon default, each level of the Applicable
                      Margin will be increased by 2.00% per annum

   Borrowing Base:    The aggregate amount of loans made and
                      letters of credit issued under the Revolver
                      and Last Out Revolver Advance will at no
                      time exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000,000,
                      or (ii) the sum of the Borrowing Base, plus
                      the Incremental Advance.  

   Budget:            Borrowers will not pay any expenses other
                      than those set forth in the DIP Budget,
                      subject to a variance not to exceed 10% of
                      the budgeted amounts.  The Borrowers will
                      receive new shipments of inventory at least
                      90% of the inventory purchases reflected in
                      the approved DIP Budget, and will achieve
                      revenues of at least 90% of those projected
                      in the approved Budget.

   Fees:              The DIP Facility contemplates payment of
                      fees equal to:

                         -- 2.00% of the amount of the DIP
                            facility as underwriting fee;

                         -- 50% of the LIBOR Applicable Margin as
                            documentary letters of credit fee;

                         -- Applicable LIBOR Margin as standby
                            letters of credit fee;

                         -- 0.25% of the face amount of each
                            Letter of Credit;

                         -- 0.375% per annum, payable monthly in
                            arrears on the unused portion of the
                            DIP Facility; and
                      
                         -- $100,000 as Collateral Agent fee.

                      All Letters of Credit will be subject to
                      the DIP Agent's customary fees and charges.

                      Borrowers will also pay the DIP Agent an
                      expense deposit of $100,000, and pay any
                      expense in excess of the deposit.

   Maturity:          The DIP Facility will come due and payable
                      in full on the earliest of (i) 12 months
                      from the Closing Date, (ii) a continuing
                      event of default by the Debtors, (iii) a
                      sale of all or substantially all of the
                      Borrowers' assets under Section 363 of the
                      Bankruptcy Code, or (iv) the Debtors'
                      emergence from Chapter 11.

   Priority & Liens:  The DIP Facility will be secured by:

                         * a first perfected security position on
                           all assets of the Debtors; and

                         * a superpriority administrative claim
                           under Section 507(b) having priority
                           over all other administrative claims.

                      The Last Out Revolver Advance will be
                      second in right of payment from the
                      collateral to the DIP Facility.

                      The DIP Facility will not be secured by
                      proceeds from avoidance actions under
                      Chapter 5, other than those arising under
                      Section 549, and will be subject to the
                      Professional Expense Carve Out and any
                      Permitted Prior Liens.

   Professional
   Expense
   Carve-Out:         A Professional Expense Carve Out means a

BOSCOV'S INC: Gets Permission to Use Lenders' Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the need for a DIP Facility, Boscov's Inc. and its
affiliated debtors require the immediate use of cash collateral to
pay operating expenses, including payroll, and to pay vendors to
restore and ensure a continued supply of goods essential to the
Debtors' continued viability.

In light of that, the Debtors sought and obtained permission from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to use the
Cash Collateral, which secures around $400,000,000 of prepetition
debt loans.  The Cash Collateral includes all amounts on deposit
in the Debtors' banking, checking, or other deposit accounts and
all proceeds of the substantially all of the Debtors' personal
property, including their accounts, equipment, general
intangibles, goods, inventory, investment property, commercial
tort claims, and real property.

In exchange for the use of the prepetition collateral, the
Debtors agreed to provide certain adequate protection to the
prepetition secured lenders' interests in the prepetition
collateral from any diminution in value.

As adequate protection, the Debtors' Prepetition First Lien
Lenders, which extended about $370,000,000 of prepetition loans,
will receive:

   (a) prepetition first lien replacement liens, which will be
       junior only to the DIP Liens and the Professional Expense
       Carve Out;

   (b) prepetition first lien superpriority claim, which will
       have priority, except with respect to the DIP Liens, the
       DIP Superpriority Claim, and the Professional Expense
       Carve Out, in all of the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases and
       over all administrative expense claims and unsecured
       claims against the Debtors; and

   (c) repayment of the principal amount of the Prepetition First
       Lien Debt, and payments in the amount of interest, at the
       non-default rate, fees, costs and expenses of the
       Prepetition Lenders.

In addition, the Debtors, upon payment in full of the DIP
Obligations and termination of the DIP Facility, will establish
an account in the control of the Prepetition First Lien Agent
into which $200,000 of proceeds of any sale, lease, or other
disposition of any of the prepetition first lien collateral.  
However, the Indemnity Account will terminate and all amounts
remaining under it will be released to the Debtors if all
Prepetition First Lien Debt has been irrevocably paid in full in
cash.  The Prepetition First Indemnity Obligations will be
secured by a first priority lien on the Indemnity Account.

As adequate protection, the Debtors' Second Lien Prepetition
Lenders, which extended $60,000,000 of prepetition loans, will
receive:

   (a) a prepetition second lien replacement liens, which is
       junior to the DIP Liens, the Professional Expense Carve
       Out, the Prepetition First Liens and the Prepetition First
       Lien Replacement Lien;

   (b) prepetition second lien superpriority claim, which will
       have priority over all administrative and unsecured claims
       against the Debtors except with respect to the DIP Liens,
       the DIP Superpriority Claim, the Professional Expense
       Carve Out, the Prepetition First Liens, the Prepetition
       First Lien Replacement Liens, and the Prepetition First
       Lien Superpriority Claim; and

   (c) payments in the amount of interest with respect to the
       Prepetition Second Lien Debt and consent fees in the sum
       of $500,000.

The Debtors will create an indemnity account for the Prepetition
Second Lien Lenders under which $50,000 of the proceeds of the
sale or disposition of the Collateral will be placed.

Use of the Cash Collateral will be in accordance with a budget,
which provides that the Debtors will receive new shipments of
inventory at least 90% of the inventory purchases reflected in
the approved DIP Budget, and will achieve revenues of at least
90% of those projected in the approved Budget.  The Debtors have
not yet filed the Budget.

Interim use of the Cash Collateral expires on August 28, 2008,
when the Court will convene a hearing to consider final approval
of the request.  Objections are due August 22.

Mothers Work, Inc., a counterparty with the Debtors on an
exclusive license to operate a maternity and nursing product
department in the Debtors' stores, objected to the Debtors'
request for DIP Loans asserting that the merchandise under the
license agreement is not part of the Debtors' inventory and thus
should not be included in the Collateral.

BOSCOV'S INC: Seeks Permission to Sell 10 Underperforming Stores
----------------------------------------------------------------
Boscov's Inc. and its affiliated debtors seek to close and
liquidate the inventory and other assets of 10 of their stores
located at:

   * Monroeville Mall, in Monroeville, PA,
   * South Hills Village Mall, in Pittsburgh, PA,
   * Oxford Valley Mall, in Langhorne, PA,
   * Montgomery Mall, in North Wales, PA,
   * Harrisburg East Mall, in Harrisburg, PA,
   * Monmouth Mall, in Eatontown, NJ,
   * White Marsh Mall, in Baltimore, MD,
   * Marley Station Mall, in Glen Burnie, MD,
   * Owings Mills Mall, in Owings Mills, MD, and
   * Piedmont Mall, in Danville, VA.

The Debtors acquired seven of the Closing Stores in 2006 from
Federated Department Stores, Inc., after several state attorney
generals required Federated to divest the Closing Stores to a
limited number of traditional department store operators as part
of an assurance agreement.  At the time of the transaction, the
Debtors believed they received favorable purchase terms, because
they were one of only a few potential bidders for the Closing
Stores.  Since the Debtors acquired these stores from Federated,
however, they have failed to generate positive cash flow.  The
other three Closing Stores are traditional Boscov's department
stores and have failed to operate profitably, in large part,
because of the local economic conditions of the communities in
which these stores operate.

The Debtors believe that the proposed Store Closing Sales will
maximize recoveries to their estates with respect to the assets
located at the Closing Stores and allow the Debtors to retire
immediately a portion of their secured debt.  Further, the
proposed Store Closing Sales will dramatically reduce, and
ultimately eliminate, the administrative costs associated with
these underperforming Closing Stores.  Finally, the Debtors'
business plan depends, in part, on eliminating these unprofitable
stores to deleverage their capital structure and increase working
capital.

Before the Petition Date, the Debtors contacted Gordon Brothers
Group, LLC; Great American Group, LLC; Gordon Brothers Merchant
Resources; Hudson Capital Partners, LLC; SB Capital Group, LLC;
and Tiger Capital Group, LLC.  The liquidation firms submitted
bids and the Debtors determined that Gordon Brothers Merchant
Resources submitted the best bid.  Accordingly, the Debtors
entered into a stalking horse agreement with Gordon Brothers.

The Stalking Horse Agreement provides that:

   (a) the Debtors will receive a Guaranteed Amount of 103% of
       the Cost Value of the Merchandise, which the Debtors
       expect will be no lower than $34,000,000;

   (b) the Debtors will receive additional consideration if the
       proceeds from the Store Closing Sales exceed certain
       amounts; and

   (c) Gordon Brothers will assume financial responsibility for
       the vast majority of the expenses incurred in conducting
       the Store Closing Sales, including certain payroll and
       occupancy related expenses.

To maximize the value of the Closing Stores and obtain the
greatest return possible for the Liquidation Assets, at the
Debtors' behest, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware approved bidding procedures for the submission of better
and higher bids and auction of the Closing Stores:

   (a) To be deemed a Qualified Bidder, interested parties must
       submit bids that (i) provide a bid amount that exceeds the
       value of the Stalking Horse Agreement by $75,000, (ii)
       provide for payment to the Debtors of not less than 90% of
       the Guaranty Percentage, and (iii) include a $1,000,000
       Good Faith Deposit, on or before August 8, 2008.

   (b) If two or more bids are received, the Debtors will conduct
       an auction on August 12, 2008, at the offices of Jones
       Day, at 222 East 41st Street, New York, New York 10017.  

   (c) During the auction, bidding will begin initially with the
       highest bid and subsequently continue in increments as the
       Debtors will determine at the auction.

   (d) If no bid is received other than the Stalking Horse bid, a
       sale hearing will be held on August 14.  Objections to the
       proposed sale are due August 13.

The Debtors make it clear that bidders may not form joint
ventures or partnerships to submit bids and that no entity
holding any interest in the Liquidation Assets will be permitted
to utilize that interest for the purposes of establishing a
credit bid.

The Debtors also sought and obtained the Court's permission to
pay the Stalking Horse Bidder a (i) $50,000 Termination Fee in
the event the Stalking Horse was not the successful bidder at the
auction, and (ii) $50,000 Expense Reimbursement Fee for costs it
incurred with respect to the preparation of a bid and
participation in the auction.

The Debtors' proposed counsel, David G. Heiman, Esq., at Jones
Day, in New York, told the Court that the Debtors need to
commence the Store Closing Sales by August 15 to be able to
receive an immediate influx of liquidity, which will allow them
to obtain new Merchandise for the "back-to-school" shopping
season.  He added that it is important to note that while
conducting the prepetition sale process, the Debtors also
discussed the Store Closing Sale process with their significant
creditor constituencies, including their prepetition secured
lenders and an ad hoc committee of their significant trade
vendors.  Each of these creditor constituencies supports moving
forward on the expedited timetable, he said.

Mothers Work, Inc., objected to the proposed sale of the
Liquidation Assets to the extent the sale includes any of the
merchandise it sells to the Debtors.  Mothers Work said the
merchandise, which includes maternity and nursing products, is
not part of the Debtors' inventory but rather remains the
property of Mothers Work until the point of sale to a retail
customer.

Burt P. Flickinger III, managing director at Strategic Resource
Group, a New York-based consumer industry consulting firm, told
the The News Journal in Delaware that he does not expect Boscov's
to shutter any more stores than the 10 the company announced when
it filed for bankruptcy.  Mr. Flickinger, the report relates,
said Boscov's is a "solidly run" retailer that has suffered from
a concentration of stores in economically struggling communities.

"The key variable is the suppliers and the suppliers should be
supportive," News Journal quotes Mr. Flickinger as saying.

According to News Journal, Howard Davidowitz, chairman of
Davidowitz & Associates, a national retail consulting and
investment banking firm, Boscov's as a privately owned retailer
is at a disadvantage because it can't issue stock or bonds to
raise capital, as its publicly traded rivals can.  Mr. Davidowitz
said Boscov's has to rely on banks and other lenders for money to
expand or for cash to finance inventories, but that lenders are
very hesitant to lend now.

The report also notes that Barton Weitz, executive director of
the Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research at the
University of Florida, said Boscov's relatively small number of
stores, all of which are in the Mid-Atlantic region, makes it
tougher to develop deals with big-name designers that national
chains use to bring shoppers into its stores.

BOYD GAMING: Fitch Holds Ratings After Halted Echelon Construction
------------------------------------------------------------------
Following Boyd Gaming's announcement on Aug. 1, 2008 that it would
halt construction of Echelon and delay development of the project
for at least 3-4 quarters, Fitch Ratings has affirmed Boyd's 'BB-'
issuer default rating.  The Rating Outlook remains Stable.

Boyd decided to mothball the project after the joint venture
portions of the project were unable to secure acceptable financing
due to the current credit market environment.  The project delay
is a near-term credit positive by significantly reducing the
company's capital spending outlook. Roughly $500 million of costs
have been incurred to date on the $4.75 billion project
($3.3 billion of which is Boyd's wholly owned portion) and Boyd
expects to spend another $200 million-$300 million in wind down
costs in the third quarter.  As a result, the company's debt
balance is likely to climb to roughly $2.7 billion-$2.8 billion by
the end of third quarter 2008 from $2.5 billion as of the end of
Q2'08.

As of June 30, 2008, Fitch calculates latest twelve month EBITDA
of $506 million.  That implies that debt/EBITDA leverage could
approach the credit facility covenant of 6 times later this year
if recent negative property-level trends continue.  Fitch's
'BB-'/Stable IDR incorporates the expectation that, unless the
operating environment improves, Boyd uses its free cash flow to
reduce debt and sustain a leverage level well below 6x after
winding down Echelon and completing the Blue Chip expansion later
this year.  With $149 million in cash and $1.6 billion outstanding
under its $4 billion revolver as of June 30 and no debt maturities
until 2012, Boyd's liquidity is solid.  However, deteriorating
operating performance limits revolver availability due to the
leverage covenant, which steps up to 6.5x in 2009.

After completing the $130 million expansion at its Blue Chip
property in Indiana, which is scheduled to open around year-end
2008, Boyd has no major near-term projects under development, so
that should enable the company to generate meaningful free cash
flow.  Boyd's annual maintenance capital expenditures have
recently run in the $120 million-$130 million range from 2005-2007
and could be slightly lower than that going forward in the near
term due to the operating pressure.  Boyd also just cancelled its
$53 million annual dividend in favor of a $100 million share
repurchase program.  As a result, the company's discretionary cash
flow will increase significantly by the end of the year.

However, continued industry-wide and Boyd-specific operating
pressure is offsetting the positive credit implications of Boyd's
reduced capital spending outlook.

  -- Blue Chip's results continue to be impacted by the Four Winds
     Casino, which is a nearby tribal property that opened in
     August 2007.  Blue Chip will anniversary the Four Winds
     opening and benefit from its expansion in 2009, but it will
     see additional competition when Harrah's new Horseshoe
     Hammond riverboat opens this month, although Horseshoe
     Hammond is less of a direct competitor than Four Winds.

  -- A new Las Vegas Locals property, Eastside Cannery, is
     schedule to open later this year which is likely to impact
     Boyd's results in that market, primarily its Sam's Town
     property.

  -- Borgata results are being impacted by a planned high level of
     operating expenses related to the Water Club opening and
     continued market impact from increased competition in
     Pennsylvania and New York.  While Borgata's market share
     could increase and operating expense levels should
     rationalize fueled by the ramp up of the Water Club, it will
     face additional competition from Las Vegas Sands' Bethlehem,
     PA property that is expected to open in summer 2009.

Therefore, Fitch's 'BB-' IDR and Stable Outlook reflect the
expectation that Boyd will face continuing operating pressure over
the next year as consumer spending patterns remain weak.  This
will likely limit the company's ability to generate EBITDA growth.  
In addition to a deteriorating operating environment, potential
near-term changes to the IDR or Outlook are likely to be driven by
capital allocation decisions given the anticipated upcoming free
cash flow generation.  Longer-term, Boyd's IDR incorporates the
expectation that restarting construction on Echelon will be
dependent on an improvement in the credit market environment and
Fitch would revisit the rating if that were not the case.

Fitch has affirmed all of Boyd's ratings as:
  -- IDR at 'BB-';
  -- Senior credit facility at 'BB';
  -- Senior subordinated debt at 'B+'.


BUILDING MATERIALS: Moody's Junks Corporate Family Rating to Caa1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered the ratings of Building
Materials Holding Corporation, including its corporate family
rating to Caa1 from B3, its probability-of-default rating to Caa2
from Caa1, and its first-lien bank credit facility rating to Caa1
(LGD-3, 37%) from B3 (LGD-3, 32%).  The ratings outlook remains
negative.

The downgrade was prompted by tightening of BMHC's liquidity,
reflective of high likelihood that the company will not be in
compliance with the financial covenants in its existing credit
facility relating to minimum net worth and minimum EBITDA in the
2Q 2008, uncertainty around obtaining of a waiver or re-
negotiating covenants to manageable levels, leaving open the
possibility of losing access to the credit facility.  The
downgrade also reflects declining sales and deterioration of
credit metrics, at a pace more rapid and of a higher magnitude
than previously anticipated.  Moody's expectation that weak
homebuilding market conditions will continue throughout 2008 and
potentially into 2009, could exert further pressure on the
company's operating performance and credit profile, with credit
availability remaining tight throughout this period.  BMHC's
scale, its leading industry position, and its longer term
prospects as one of the nation's largest providers of residential
construction services and building materials continue to support
its Caa1 rating.

The negative ratings outlook reflects continued weakness in new
home construction, large inventories of unsold homes, declining
home prices and weak consumer confidence.  Tightened mortgage
lending practices also weigh heavily on intermediate term
prospects for a recovery in housing demand.  The company's ability
to cut costs, reduce capital expenditures, manage working capital
needs, and maintain adequate liquidity until homebuilding industry
fundamentals stabilize partially mitigate downward pressure.

Going forward, BMHC's ratings would be considered for further
downgrade in the event that 1) cash flow were to continue to
weaken, 2) the company loses access to its existing credit
facility; 3) re-negotiated covenant levels continue posing
compliance challenges.

The outlook could stabilize if the company were able to cut costs,
reduce capital expenditures, manage working capital needs, and
maintain adequate liquidity until homebuilding industry
fundamentals stabilize.

Downgrades:

  -- Issuer: Building Materials Holding Corporation

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Caa2 from Caa1

  --Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Caa1 from B3

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Downgraded to a range of
     Caa1, LGD3, 37% from a range of B3, LGD3, 32%

CHESAPEAKE CORP: Moody's Junks Corporate Family Ratings to Caa2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Chesapeake Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating to Caa2 from B2 and its Probability of
Default Rating to Caa2 from B3.  Concurrently, Moody's downgraded
the company's senior unsecured revenue bonds to Caa3 from B3 and
senior subordinated notes to Caa3 from Caa1.  All credit ratings
remain on review for possible downgrade.

The downgrade in CFR and PDR to Caa2 was prompted by the company's
announcement on Aug. 1, 2008, that it is developing a
comprehensive refinancing plan to address the upcoming maturity of
its bank credit facility and its general liquidity needs.  The
proposed refinancing plan is expected to include: (1) new senior
secured credit facilities to be used to fully repay the company's
existing senior secured credit facility (unrated by Moody's), and
(2) an offer to exchange the company's outstanding senior
subordinated notes for new debt and equity securities.  Depending
on the final terms of the exchange, it may be considered a
distressed exchange by Moody's.  Moody's definition of default
includes distressed exchanges and the downgrade in the ratings
reflects the heightened probability of such a default in the near
term.  Also considered in the downgrade was a shortfall in results
in the first half of the year as compared to our expectations.
Accordingly, Moody's expectations for full year 2008 operating
results have been further lowered and suggest a very weak capital
structure and credit metrics for a company of Chesapeake's scale.
Chesapeake continues to face refinancing pressures, an adverse
business environment partly resulting from macroeconomic factors,
and record high freight and energy costs.

The review for possible downgrade will continue to focus on
Chesapeake's liquidity profile and business fundamentals, in
addition to a review of the terms of the proposed refinancing
plan.

Moody's downgraded these ratings of Chesapeake:

  -- $18.75 million 6.375% senior unsecured revenue bonds due
     2019, to Caa3 / LGD4 (68%) from B3 / LGD3 (48%)

  -- $31.25 million 6.25% senior unsecured revenue bonds due 2019,
     to Caa3 / LGD4 (68%) from B3 / LGD3 (48%)

  -- 67.1 million GBP 10.375% senior subordinated notes due 2011,
     to Caa3 / LGD5 (86%) from Caa1 / LGD5 (72%)

  -- 100 million EUR 7% senior subordinated eurobonds due 2014, to
     Caa3 / LGD5 (86%) from Caa1 / LGD5 (72%)

  -- Corporate Family Rating, to Caa2 from B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating, to Caa2 from B3

Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Chesapeake Corporation is a
leading international supplier of specialty paperboard and plastic
packaging. Revenues for the twelve month period ended June 29,
2008 were $1.04 billion.


CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE: Moody's Junks Corporate Family Rating to Caa1
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered the ratings of Chrysler
Automotive LLC -- Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3,
Probability of Default to Caa1 from B3, first lien term loan to B2
from B1, and second lien term loan to Caa2 from Caa1.  The ratings
remain on review for further possible downgrade.

In a related action Moody's also lowered the ratings of
DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC -- Corporate
Family Rating to B2 from B1, first lien bank loan to B2 from B1,
and second lien bank loan to B3 from B2.  These ratings also
remain under review for further possible downgrade.

The downgrade of the Chrysler ratings reflects the considerable
competitive and financial pressure the company faces as a result
of the shift in US consumer demand away from trucks and SUVs, as
well as the decline in overall automotive demand. While these
market pressures will stress the performance of all three domestic
auto manufacturers, Chrysler will be particularly challenged by
its relatively high dependence on trucks and SUVs, and by a small-
car portfolio that is much less robust than that of both its
domestic and Asian competitors.  Moreover, the company has not
announced any small car offerings as part of it new product
pipeline through 2009.  As a result, Chrysler's operating cash
flow will likely remain negative through the intermediate term.  
In addition, Bruce Clark, Senior Vice President with Moody's,
said, "If Chrysler's prospects for establishing an adequately
robust revenue and product profile remain limited, the long-term
viability of the company's business model could be undermined
despite the success of its cost cutting initiatives and the
intermediate-term adequacy of its liquidity profile."

Despite a relatively aggressive and successful cost cutting
program, and a liquidity position that can easily cover all cash
requirements through the next twelve months, the critical
challenge for Chrysler will be establishing adequate market demand
and pricing for its minivans and crossover vehicles, given the
weakness in its car portfolio.

A sustainable business model will require a continuation of
effective cost cutting initiatives, maintenance of adequate
liquidity, and a successful product and pricing strategy.  A key
factor in the review of Chrysler will be the company's plans for
managing these three variables.  The review will also consider the
near-term share position and pricing profile of Chrysler's
minivans, crossovers and cars, well as any longer-term plans that
might enhance its small-vehicle portfolio in the 2010 time frame.
The review will also assess the ability of DaimlerChrysler
Financial Services Americas to continue to provide adequate levels
of retail and wholesale financing in support of Chrysler's
automotive operations.

Chrysler Automotive LLC is headquartered in Auburn Hills,
Michigan.
                    

CHRYSLER FINANCIAL: Moody's Downgrades CF Rating to B2 from B1
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of
DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC aka Chrysler
Financial, including its Corporate Family rating to B2 from B1.
The ratings remain under review for possible further downgrade.
This action follows Moody's downgrade of Chrysler Automotive,
LLC's Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3 and continuation of
review for possible further downgrade.

The downgrade of Chrysler Financial reflects the operating
challenges at Chrysler Automotive and their potential to
negatively affect Chrysler Financial's credit profile, including
its asset quality, funding access and costs, and profitability.
Chrysler Financial's vehicle finance portfolio includes collateral
and lease exposures that reflect Chrysler's relatively high truck
and SUV sales concentration.  Given the shift in consumer
sentiment away from such vehicles and consequent decline in used
car values, Moody's anticipates increasing pressure on Chrysler
Financial's asset quality and profitability measures.

The downgrade also considers the effect of higher funding costs on
Chrysler Financial's scope of operations and profitability.  The
company renewed its conduit commitments, which now total
$23.8 billion.  This represents a reduction of $4.3 billion in the
firm's capacity to fund retail leases and loans, on expectation
that origination levels will decline in future periods. The
renewals also included pricing and other terms that that
significantly increase Chrysler Financial's costs of funding while
reducing advance rates.  Chrysler Financial recently suspended
lease origination activities, reflecting the higher cost and
reduced capacity to fund these assets, as well as increased
uncertainty regarding expected returns from lease residuals.
Moody's believes that constraints on Chrysler Financial's scope of
operating activities may have somewhat negative implications for
its franchise value.

Chrysler Financial is currently rated two-notches higher than
Chrysler Automotive, based primarily upon Moody's expectation that
creditors of Chrysler Financial would experience lower loss
severity in a bankruptcy scenario than would the creditors of
Chrysler Automotive. During its review of Chrysler Financial's
ratings, Moody's will re-examine the effect of asset quality
deterioration on the recovery assumptions that underlie the
ratings differential with Chrysler Automotive.  Though the
notching could be maintained, the review could also conclude that
the notching should be decreased or eliminated.  Moody's review of
Chrysler Financial's ratings will also consider the firm's
intrinsic credit strength, including the effects of Chrysler
Automotive's operating prospects on Chrysler Financial's
performance and franchise value.

Ratings affected by this action include:

  -- Corporate Family Rating: from B1 to B2, on review for
     possible downgrade

  -- Sr. Secured Revolving Credit Facility: from B1 to B2, on
     review for possible downgrade

  -- Sr. Secured Term Loan B: from B1 to B2, on review for
     possible downgrade

  -- Sr. Secured Second Lien Term Loan: from B2 to B3, on review
     for possible downgrade

CHRYSLER LLC: Dana Wants to End Supply Agreement by December 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dana Holding Corporation asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to provide a declaratory judgment
confirming that the existing supply agreement between Dana and
Chrysler LLC will conclude on Dec. 31, 2008.

Dana is seeking to confirm its rights relative to the Settlement
Agreement reached by the two companies in August 2007 and
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court one month later.  The requested
court action is an attempt to determine Dana's future course as a
supplier to Chrysler.

"Our goal is to establish a mutually rewarding supply agreement
with Chrysler moving forward," John Devine, Dana executive
chairman, said.  "However, Dana is prepared to exercise its right
to discontinue supplying Chrysler effective Jan. 1, 2009, if we
continue to be unsuccessful in engaging them to address this goal
in a meaningful way.

"While we sincerely hope that this will not be the case, we have
informed Chrysler of our intentions in order to provide both
companies with the time to consider their options for ongoing
sourcing of the programs we currently support," he added.  "While
this is an isolated case, it serves to illustrate our commitment
to pursue only market-competitive business opportunities moving
forward."

Mr. Devine acknowledged that a potential decision to vacate the
Chrysler business could have a substantial impact on select Dana
facilities, but cautioned that any related concerns would be
premature," he said.  "It's far too early and inappropriate to
speculate on potential outcomes at a facility level.  To be clear,
our focus remains on achieving a market-competitive agreement with
Chrysler moving forward."

Dana's history of supplying Chrysler dates back more than 70 years
and includes supplying four-wheel drive and axle technologies for
the very first Willys MA Jeep(R) produced in 1941.  This
relationship continues with Dana's supply of drivetrain
technologies for several Jeep models including the Wrangler,
Liberty, and select versions of the Grand Cherokee; the Dodge
Nitro and Viper vehicles; and select light- and medium-duty
versions of the Dodge Ram pickup truck.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter June 24, 2008,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B3 Corporate Family Rating
and Probability of Default Rating of Chrysler LLC, but changed the
outlook to negative from stable.  The change in outlook reflects
the increasingly challenging environment faced by Chrysler as the
outlook for US vehicle demand falls, and as high fuel costs drive
US consumers away from light trucks and SUVs, and toward more fuel
efficient vehicles.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on May 9, 2008,
Fitch Ratings downgraded the Issuer Default Rating of Chrysler
LLC to 'B' from 'B+', with a Negative Rating Outlook.  Fitch has
also downgraded the senior secured bank facilities, including
senior secured first-lien bank loan to 'BB/RR1' from 'BB+/RR1';
and senior secured second-lien bank loan to 'CCC+/RR6' from
'BB+/RR1'.  The recovery rating on the second lien was also
downgraded from 'BB+/RR1' to 'CCC+/RR6' based on lower asset value
assumptions and associated recoveries in the event of a stress
scenario.


CHRYSLER LLC: Production May Suffer if Dana Severs Contract
------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Ramsey and Alex Ortolani at Bloomberg News says Chrysler LLC
risks a possible production shutdown should supplier Dana Holdings
Inc. win a lawsuit to end a money-losing contract.

Dana has asked the Hon. Judge Burton Lifland of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to confirm
that the parties' supply agreement ends Dec. 31, 2008.  Under the
2007 deal, Dana became the exclusive supplier of driveshafts,
axles and other parts to Chrysler until the end of 2008.  Because
Chrysler refused to extend the deal into 2009, Dana said, any
orders beyond 2008 are "unenforceable."

Dana, Bloomberg relates, said rising steel prices mean it's losing
$75 million annually on its parts agreement for six Chrysler
models.

Bloomberg says that, according to the complaint, Chrysler has told
Dana it doesn't have the right to end the supply agreement.

According to Bloomberg, Dana said it supplies parts to Chrysler's
Jeep Liberty, Wrangler and some Grand Cherokee sport-utility
vehicles, as well the Dodge Nitro SUV, Viper sports car and some
Dodge Ram pickups.

Dana in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission said orders from Chrysler make up 3% of its total
revenues for the first half of 2008.  Ford is Dana's single
largest customer, comprising 19% of revenues for the first half.  
Its other largest customers are General Motors, 6% of revenues;
and Toyota, 5%.

James Gillette, a consultant with CSM Worldwide Inc. in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, told Bloomberg Chrysler would have few options
to replace Dana's axles and driveshafts.  "It puts an enormous
amount of pressure on Chrysler," Mr. Gillette told Bloomberg in an
interview.  "It's not like there are 200 other suppliers they
could go to. Dana does have some level of bargaining power."

According to Bloomberg, Dana Chairman John Devine said on a
conference call with analysts that the partsmaker is "not out here
to pick a fight with Chrysler."  Mr. Devine explained the Chrysler
business has "a significant loss and we need to address that."

Bloomberg relates that Kevin Frazier, a spokesman for Chrysler,
said Chrysler's view is that "while the agreement may end on Jan.
1, 2009, the underlying purchase orders were intended to continue
in accordance with their terms."

Mr. Gillette told Bloomberg that Magna International Inc.,
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. and Tower Automotive
LLC are capable of stepping in for Dana as a Chrysler supplier.  
Cerberus Capital Management LP also owns a significant stake in
Tower.

CHRYSLER LLC: In Talks with Nissan on Midsize Cars Manufacturing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC is planning to outsource the engineering and
development of its cars, The Wall Street Journal reports.

According to WSJ, Chrysler LLC is having discussions with Japan's
Nissan Motor Co. about jointly producing midsize cars, a
partnership that would move the U.S. auto maker toward a radical
new business model.

The Journal citing people familiar with the matter, states that  
both companies agreed in early 2008 to team up on pickup trucks
and subcompact cars.  Since then, the Journal relates, they have
been negotiating a deal: Nissan to manufacture midsize sedans and
Chrysler would sell it in the U.S. under its own name.

Under its earlier agreement with Nissan, Chrysler will start
selling a subcompact car made by Nissan by about 2011, WSJ states.  
Chrysler, WSJ notes, also has a deal under which China's Chery
Automobile Co. will make small cars for it.

A deal, according to WSJ, would signal a switch in the way
Chrysler operates, particularly in its passenger-car business.  
Chrysler intends to continue developing new trucks, sport-utility
vehicles and minivans itself, from the ground up, WSJ adds.

A partnership with Nissan on midsize sedans would put Chrysler on
a path to becoming a marketer and seller of cars made by others,
WSJ says.
  
WSJ states that this outsourcing approach has worked for computer
makers but could be risky for the auto industry.  Sophisticated
car buyers, WSJ says, who are aware that Nissan is manufacturing
sedans for Chrysler might simply buy Nissan's version of the car.  
WSJ, citing Michael Ward, an automotive analyst at Soleil
Securities Group, indicates that success of such deals comes down
to marketing and branding.

Outsourcing the manufacturing of cars could offer one big
advantage for Chrysler and its majority shareholder, Cerberus
Capital Management LP: "it could save Chrysler the billions of
dollars it costs to develop a full line of vehicles in-house," WSJ
points out.

Chrysler is still deciding how to add a new midsize sedan to its
lineup, WSJ states, while Nissan is working on a redesign of its
Altima sedan.  The talks have centered on having Nissan produce a
version of that car for Chrysler, WSJ.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug 1, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered the ratings on General
Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Chrysler LLC, all to 'B-' from
'B'.  The ratings on GM and Ford were removed from CreditWatch
with negative implications, where they had been placed on June 20,
2008.  Chrysler will remain on CreditWatch pending the renewal of
certain bank lines at DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas
LLC, which S&P expects to be completed in the next few days.  If
the bank lines are renewed as expected, S&P would affirms the
ratings on Chrysler and DCFS and remove them from CreditWatch.

On July 31, 2008, TCR said that Fitch Ratings has downgraded the
Issuer Default Rating of Chrysler LLC to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  The
Rating Outlook is Negative.  The downgrade reflects Chrysler's
restricted access to economic retail financing for its vehicles,
which is expected to result in a further step-down in retail
volumes.  Lack of competitive financing is also expected to result
in more costly subvention payments and other forms of sales
incentives.  Fitch is also concerned with the state of the
securitization market and the ability of the automakers to access
this market on an economic basis over the near term, given the
steep drop in residual values, higher default rates, higher loss
severity being experienced and jittery capital markets.


CHRYSLER LLC: S&P Cuts Ratings to CCC+ on Funding Constraints
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said lowered its ratings on
Chrysler LLC, including the corporate credit rating, to 'CCC+'
from 'B-'.

At the same time, S&P lowered the counterparty credit rating on
DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC, the auto finance
affiliate of Chrysler, to 'CCC+' from 'B-'. In addition, S&P
removed all ratings from CreditWatch with negative implications,
where they were placed originally on June 20, 2008. S&P lowered
the ratings to 'B-' on July 31, 2008, and stated then that the
ratings would remain on CreditWatch until certain bank lines at
DCFS had been renewed, which has occurred. The outlook on both
issuers is negative.

Separately, S&P revised the recovery rating on DCFS's $2 billion
first-lien revolving credit facility and $4 billion first-lien
term loan to '3', indicating that lenders can expect meaningful
(50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment default, from '1'.  
The issue level rating on this debt is now 'CCC+', the same as the
issuer credit rating on DCFS. The first-lien recovery rating
revision is largely as a result of the change in business
prospects for DCFS, given the weaker economy, increased gas
prices, and the resultant reduction in demand for large cars and
trucks and the precipitous decline in residual values.

"The downgrades [] reflect our view that the amount and structure
of DCFS's recently renewed bank lines leave the finance company
with fewer options to overcome any new funding challenges during
the next year," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Robert
Schulz. S&P believes Chrysler's and DCFS's sources of funding,
including these bank lines, which are used to backstop a private
securitization conduit, are currently sufficient to operate the
business now that Chrysler has exited lease financing and assuming
no incremental challenges are created by the uncertain credit
markets. But the $24 billion DCFS facility is less than S&P
expected and moreover includes mandatory reductions in commitments
totaling $4 billion over the next 12 months. These changes are a
reflection of the tense state of the capital markets, the dismal
outlook for the U.S. auto market this year and next, and the
capital markets' skeptical view of Chrysler's prospects.

The greatest threats to the ratings in the near term are the depth
of economic weakness in the U.S., the extent of the demand shift
away from light trucks, and the ability of the finance company to
continue its timely access to the asset-backed securities (ABS)
markets in support of Chrysler's sales. DCFS remains heavily
reliant on the public ABS markets to supplement funding provided
by the private conduit.

Although Chrysler does not publicly release financial statements,
S&P expects the company to experience a net cash outflow from its
automotive operations in 2008, its first full year since being
acquired by Cerberus Capital Management L.P. from Germany's
Daimler AG. Aggressive fixed-cost reduction and conservative
industry sales assumptions have kept Chrysler at or above most of
its financial targets through the first half of 2008. However, S&P
believes the significantly weakened demand, particularly for
pickup trucks and SUVs, will lead to a continued high rate of cash
outflows through the end of 2008 and into 2009. Another major
headwind has been plummeting used-pickup and SUV prices, which is
causing losses on some leasing activities. Chrysler announced in
July 2008 that it would stop offering leases to potential
customers through its financial affiliate effective Aug. 1.

Because of the severe industry weakness, Chrysler recently
augmented its restructuring actions, which will lead to total
reductions of about 26,000 hourly and salaried workers and
elimination of 1.1 million units of capacity. In June 2008,
Chrysler announced plans to close an additional minivan plant by
the end of this year and reduce shifts at another truck plant to
one shift from two.

S&P expects U.S. light-vehicle sales to be 14.4 million units in
2008, the lowest in 15 years and down sharply from 16.1 million
units in 2007. S&P expects sales to fall further in 2009, to about
14.1 million units, as the economy remains weak and housing prices
and consumers' access to credit remain under pressure.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation that current
liquidity and funding access could become dangerously constrained
if management's cost-cutting actions fall short of plan, if
industry conditions continue to worsen beyond S&P's expectations,
or if DCFS's access to the ABS markets is inadequate, whether for
company-specific reasons or because of broader market conditions.
S&P could lower the ratings if S&P came to believe that Chrysler's
cash and short-term investments would drop below the mid-single-
digit billions before the middle of 2009, if Chrysler appeared
unable to successfully meet its 2010 payments to the UAW health
care trust, or if the finance company was unable to continue its
timely access to the ABS markets in support of Chrysler's sales.
This could occur if U.S. industry light-vehicle sales drop
significantly below 14 million units this year or next, or if
higher gas prices lead to an even more substantial decline in
light-truck demand beyond levels witnessed in June. S&P also could
lower the ratings if DCFS loses sufficient and economical access
to funding from securitization markets for any substantial length
of time.

S&P does not expect to revise the outlook to stable within the
next year, given the economic outlook, ongoing turnaround plan
execution risk, and pressure on liquidity.


CMT AMERICA: Panel Wants Case Converted to Chapter 7 Liquidation
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11  
case of CMT America Corp. asks the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware to convert the proceedings into a
Chapter 7 liquidation.

The Committee says the Debtor's case should be converted because,
among other things:

   -- the sale of its retail stores including all merchandise does
      generate recovery for the benefit for the Debtor's estate,
      plus the sole beneficiaries of that transaction are insider
      secured creditors and affiliated supplier; and

   -- the terms of the financing for sale of the Debtor's assets
      are unfair and prejudicial to the interest of the Debtor's
      unsecured creditors.

The Committee says that it is painfully evident from the Debtor's
own pleadings that this is not a proper Chapter 11 case.  The
Committee further says that there is no reorganization prospect,
nor any estate benefit that can be used to fund even a liquidating
plan of reorganization to benefit unsecured creditors.

The Committee points out that (i) Arif Noor is the sole majority
shareholder in Clothing for Modern Times, Ltd., and CMT America
Holdings Inc., which controls the Debtor; (ii) Mr. Noor owns 50%
in CMT Sourcing from which the Debtor buys 90% of its inventory;
(iii) Clothing for Modern acquired the prepetition secured claim
of GMAC Commercial Finance LLC; and (iv) Clothing for Modern
asserts a $8 million prepetition secured against the Debtor.

The Committee alleges that the sale process is designed to
maximize the return of value only to Mr. Noor.

Fairvane Corp. is a 70-store women's clothing retailer.  The
company filed for Chapter 11 protection on July 13, 2008 (Bankr.

its creditors, it listed assets of between $10 million and

CONTECH CONSTRUCTION: S&P Puts Rating on Watch Amid Housing Slump
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings, including
its 'B+' corporate credit rating, on Contech Construction Corp. on
CreditWatch with negative implications.

The CreditWatch listing reflects S&P's increasing concerns about
the impact that weakening commercial construction activity, the
current housing downturn, and future infrastructure spending
uncertainty will have on the company' end-market demand and
operating performance over the next several quarters. As a result,
Contech's credit measures are likely to weaken during this period.
In addition, the company faces more restrictive covenants under
its existing bank facility credit agreement over the next several
quarters. A weakening operating performance could result in a
deterioration of the cushion relative to this covenant and could
constrain access to Contech's $100 million revolving credit
facility, which had about $10 million in utilization on June 30,
2008.

In resolving the CreditWatch listing, S&P will discuss with
management its plans to address potential near- to intermediate-
term liquidity constraints caused by the covenant changes given
the difficult operating and credit market conditions that are
likely to continue during this period.

DANA HOLDING: Wants to Terminate Supply Agreement with Chrysler
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dana Holding Corporation asked the Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to provide a declaratory judgment
confirming that the existing supply agreement between Dana and
Chrysler LLC will conclude on Dec. 31, 2008.

Dana is seeking to confirm its rights relative to the Settlement
Agreement reached by the two companies in August 2007 and
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court one month later.  The requested
court action is an attempt to determine Dana's future course as a
supplier to Chrysler.

"Our goal is to establish a mutually rewarding supply agreement
with Chrysler moving forward," John Devine, Dana executive
chairman, said.  "However, Dana is prepared to exercise its right
to discontinue supplying Chrysler effective Jan. 1, 2009, if we
continue to be unsuccessful in engaging them to address this goal
in a meaningful way.

"While we sincerely hope that this will not be the case, we have
informed Chrysler of our intentions in order to provide both
companies with the time to consider their options for ongoing
sourcing of the programs we currently support," he added.  "While
this is an isolated case, it serves to illustrate our commitment
to pursue only market-competitive business opportunities moving
forward."

Mr. Devine acknowledged that a potential decision to vacate the
Chrysler business could have a substantial impact on select Dana
facilities, but cautioned that any related concerns would be
premature," he said.  "It's far too early and inappropriate to
speculate on potential outcomes at a facility level.  To be clear,
our focus remains on achieving a market-competitive agreement with
Chrysler moving forward."

Dana's history of supplying Chrysler dates back more than 70 years
and includes supplying four-wheel drive and axle technologies for
the very first Willys MA Jeep(R) produced in 1941.  This
relationship continues with Dana's supply of drivetrain
technologies for several Jeep models including the Wrangler,
Liberty, and select versions of the Grand Cherokee; the Dodge
Nitro and Viper vehicles; and select light- and medium-duty
versions of the Dodge Ram pickup truck.

DANA HOLDINGS: Chrysler Production May Suffer If Supply Pact Ends
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Ramsey and Alex Ortolani at Bloomberg News says Chrysler LLC
risks a possible production shutdown should supplier Dana Holdings
Inc. win a lawsuit to end a money-losing contract.

Dana has asked the Hon. Judge Burton Lifland of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to confirm
that the parties' supply agreement ends Dec. 31, 2008.  Under the
2007 deal, Dana became the exclusive supplier of driveshafts,
axles and other parts to Chrysler until the end of 2008.  Because
Chrysler refused to extend the deal into 2009, Dana said, any
orders beyond 2008 are "unenforceable."

Dana, Bloomberg relates, said rising steel prices mean it's losing
$75 million annually on its parts agreement for six Chrysler
models.

Bloomberg says that, according to the complaint, Chrysler has told
Dana it doesn't have the right to end the supply agreement.

According to Bloomberg, Dana said it supplies parts to Chrysler's
Jeep Liberty, Wrangler and some Grand Cherokee sport-utility
vehicles, as well the Dodge Nitro SUV, Viper sports car and some
Dodge Ram pickups.

Dana in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission said orders from Chrysler make up 3% of its total
revenues for the first half of 2008.  Ford is Dana's single
largest customer, comprising 19% of revenues for the first half.  
Its other largest customers are General Motors, 6% of revenues;
and Toyota, 5%.

James Gillette, a consultant with CSM Worldwide Inc. in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, told Bloomberg Chrysler would have few options
to replace Dana's axles and driveshafts.  "It puts an enormous
amount of pressure on Chrysler," Mr. Gillette told Bloomberg in an
interview.  "It's not like there are 200 other suppliers they
could go to. Dana does have some level of bargaining power."

According to Bloomberg, Dana Chairman John Devine said on a
conference call with analysts that the partsmaker is "not out here
to pick a fight with Chrysler."  Mr. Devine explained the Chrysler
business has "a significant loss and we need to address that."

Bloomberg relates that Kevin Frazier, a spokesman for Chrysler,
said Chrysler's view is that "while the agreement may end on Jan.
1, 2009, the underlying purchase orders were intended to continue
in accordance with their terms."

Mr. Gillette told Bloomberg that Magna International Inc.,
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. and Tower Automotive
LLC are capable of stepping in for Dana as a Chrysler supplier.  
Cerberus Capital Management LP also owns a significant stake in
Tower.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 12, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating to Dana Holding Corp. following the company's
emergence from Chapter 11 on Feb. 1, 2008.  The outlook is
negative.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned Dana's
US$650 million asset-based loan revolving credit facility due
2013 a 'BB+' rating (two notches higher than the corporate
credit rating) with a recovery rating of '1', indicating an
expectation of very high recovery in the event of a payment
default.  In addition, S&P assigned a 'BB' bank loan rating to
Dana's US$1.43 billion senior secured term loan with a recovery
rating of '2', indicating an expectation of average recovery.

The TCR reported on Feb. 18, 2008, that Moody's Investors
Service affirmed the ratings of the reorganized Dana Holding
Corporation as: Corporate Family Rating, B1; Probability of
Default Rating, B1.  In a related action, Moody's affirmed the
Ba3 rating on the senior secured term loan and raised the rating
on the senior secured asset based revolving credit facility to
Ba2 from Ba3.  The outlook is stable.  The financing for the
company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection has
been funded in line with the structure originally rated by
Moody's in a press release dated Jan. 7, 2008.


DELFASCO INC: Organizational Meeting to Form Panel on Aug. 14
----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Trustee for Region 3 will hold an organizational
meeting in the Chapter 11 case of Delfasco, Inc. at 1:00 p.m. on
August 11, 2008 at the Office of the United States Trustee, One
Newark Center, 14th Floor, Room 1401, in Newark, New Jersey.

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee or
committees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' cases.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors
pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A representative
of the Debtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and
provide background information regarding the bankruptcy filing.

Based in Newcastle Delaware, Delfasco Inc. filed for bankruptcy
protection on July 28, 2008 (Bankr. D.Del., Case No. 08-11578).  
When Delfasco Inc. filed for bankruptcy, it listed estimated

of between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000.


DELPHI CORP: Gets $300MM Add'l. Exit Funding from General Motors
----------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. will grant Delphi Corp. an additional
$300 million on top of the $650 million already promised to help
its former parts unit exit bankruptcy protection, The Wall Street
Journal reports.

WSJ, citing court papers, says that GM may increase its loans to
its top supplier to $950 million through the end of 2008 to
reimburse Delphi for labor-related costs and other liabilities.  
WSJ relates that GM had agreed to assume these liabilities under a
settlement entered into during the Chapter 11 case.

The $950 million, WSJ indicates, represents a portion of the
amount GM would have paid Delphi had the supplier emerged from
Chapter 11.  GM will receive a top priority claim under bankruptcy
law for the advances, WSJ notes.

The agreement comes amid GM reporting a $15.5 billion loss for the
second quarter, $2.8 billion of which was related to adjusting the
accounting for its relationship with Delphi.

GM agreed to increase the loan in July, at about the time the auto
maker was patching together its own plan to boost liquidity by
$15 billion through 2009, The Journal states according to GM
spokeswoman Julie Gibson.

DEREKTOR SHIPYARDS: Wants To Terminate Ship Contract
----------------------------------------------------
Christopher Scinta of Bloomberg News reports that Derektor
Shipyards Connecticut LLC plans to terminate a contract to make a
145-foot sailing catamaran.  The company said that it would lose
$10 million when the ship is completed, he adds.

A hearing is set for Aug. 19, 2008, before the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Connecticut to consider the request, Mr.
Scinta says.

Derector Shipyards blamed the unprofitable deal for its Chapter 11
bankruptcy, the report says.  "This renders the vessel contract
unduly burdensome and potentially fatal to the debtor's ongoing
business," Bloomberg quotes the company's professional advisor as
saying.

According to Bloomberg, the company ceased construction on the
catamaran in July 2008.  Due to a dispute with its buyer Gemini II
Ltd., the catamaran's hull was transfered to a new site, the
report says.  Gemini compelled the company into bankruptcy after
it obtain a temporary restraining order forcing the company to
move the catamaran back to its original construction site,
Bloomberg notes.  The company is seeking an additional $8 million
in payment before taking out the catamaran's hull.

Derektor Shipyards, the report says, warned Gemini that the
transfer of the cataraman to its original place will interfere
with the ongoing work on a 281-foot motor yacht, Cakewalk V.

Gemini said that it paid company $20 million on the $27.1 million
contract for the catamaran, which is 75 percent complete, the
report says.  Gemini asked the Court for recognition it owns the
yacht and for access to the company's shipyard to remove
Hemisphere.

liquidity problems, The Deal relates.  The Debtor incurred
$1.5 million net loss in 2007 from the development and operation

according to The Deal, was aggravated by the company's decision to

DOLLAR THRIFTY: Moody's Cuts CFR to B3 on Exposure to Chrysler
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group,
Inc. to B3 from B1, and lowered the rating on the company's senior
secured credit facility to B3 (LGD3, 45).  At the same time
Moody's lowered the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-4
from SGL-3.

The downgrade reflects significant pressure on operating and
credit metrics resulting from a downturn in the US economy in
general, and a slowdown in the business and leisure travel sectors
that directly impact the company's daily car rental operations.
The company is highly concentrated in the leisure sector which is
sensitive to higher airfare prices and eroding consumer
confidence.  Moreover, the company is challenged by its
significant exposure to Chrysler (currently rated Caa1 and under
review for downgrade) and by the more robust business position and
operating results of key competitors.  In addition to market and
competitive challenges, the company faces liquidity pressures as
$300 million in fleet financing begins to unwind the end of the
third quarter.  The negative outlook reflects Moody's concern that
as business and leisure travel weakens, particularly during the
seasonally slower winter months, operational risks could heighten
and credit metrics could further erode.

DTG's exposure to the leisure and destination market is a
significant consideration in the ratings downgrade and outlook.
The company's revenues are derived approximately 85% from leisure
travel and 15% from business travel while its peers are more
evenly split.  The leisure sector is more price sensitive than the
business travel sector.  Higher fuel and airline ticket prices and
eroding consumer confidence are contributing to a slowdown in key
destination markets like Florida and Las Vegas.  With its greater
exposure to leisure markets, DTG could be more vulnerable to
earnings erosion in the current environment.

Approximately 80% of DTG's 2008 model year fleet was supplied by
Chrysler.  Residual values of all vehicles are under pressure, but
have been particularly pronounced for Chrysler vehicles.  
Moreover, as Chrysler seeks to improve its own financial
performance its willingness to provide advantageous terms for
vehicle purchase arrangements with DTG could diminish,
exacerbating DTG's cost pressures.

The company's SGL-4 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating reflects
refinancing risks as the current $493 million of ABS facilities
become due in May 2009.  In the current credit environment,
renewal of this facility at current commitment levels could pose a
challenge.  The SGL-4 score also recognizes that $300 million in
vehicle financing lines will no longer be available for new fleet
purchases at the end of the third quarter of 2008.  As well, the
rating reflects the tightness relative to the leverage covenant
contained in the company's $600 million senior secured credit
facility.

The financial health of the monoline debt insurers contributes
great uncertainly to the company's liquidity profile.  DTG
currently has $1.5 billion of notes wrapped by the monolines.  A
credit positive is that DTGs exposure is diversified across three
different insurers.  However, a looming credit negative is that
the ratings on these three insurers range from Aa3 for Ambac, to
B2 on review for upgrade for XL, and B1 negative for FGIC.
Continued pressure on the monoline insurance providers poses a
risk to DTG's overall funding structure.  However, DTG has taken
preventative measures, including amending a cross-default
provision to prevent a monoline failure from constituting an event
of default on the company's $350 corporate debt revolving
facility.

Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc., headquartered in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, is the fourth largest daily car rental company in the
US, with June 30, 2008 LTM sales of $1,753 million.  It operates
the Dollar Rent a Car and Thrifty Car Rental brands.

FEDDERS CORP: Discloses Intent to Create GUC Liquidating Trust
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fedders Corp. and its debtor-affiliates filed a supplement to its
disclosure statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware, disclosing their intent on the creation of a
GUC Liquidating Trust.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 22, 2008, the
Court approved the disclosure statement describing the Debtors'
Chapter 11 plan of liquidation which was filed on June 6, 2008.  
The Court held that the disclosure statement contains adequate
information pursuant to Section 1125 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  
The Plan contemplates for the liquidation of all of the Debtors'
assets -- including net of certain fees and expenses -- and
distribution of the proceeds to holders of allowed claims.

In documents filed with the Court, the Debtors said that the Trust
will be created for the primary purpose of liquidating the GUC
Liquidating Trust assets.  The supplements say that the
liquidation will be done in an expeditious but orderly manner, for
the benefit and at the direction of the beneficiaries, with no
objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or
business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to and
consistent with the liquidating purpose of the GUC Liquidating
Trust and the Plan.

The Court will convene a hearing on Aug. 21, 2008, at 12:00 p.m.
E.S.T. at 824 Market Street, 6th Floor in Wilmington, Delaware, to
consider confirmation of the Debtors' plan.  Objections, if any,
are due Aug. 13, 2008, by 5:00 p.m.

FIRSTFED FINANCIAL: Barclays and UBS See Default in Option ARMs
---------------------------------------------------------------
According to Barclays Capital, about 45% of FirstFed Financial
Corp.'s option adjustable rate mortgages originated in 2006 and
2007 would be in default, ABI World said, citing The Wall Street
Journal.  UBS AG, meanwhile said that 48% of FirstFed's option
ARMs would be in default, based on the report.

Option ARMs normally have low introductory rates and give
borrowers various payment alternatives.  Payment options include
minimum payment option, interest-only payment option, fully
amortizing 30-year payment, and fully amortizing 15-year payment.  
Lenders notify borrowers who have missed payments and offer them a
chance to modify payment schemes.

ABI World, citing WSJ, says that during the first half of 2008,
FirstFed modified 705 loans worth $345 million.

                     About FirstFed Financial

FirstFed Financial Corp. (NYSE: FED) is the parent company of
First Federal Bank of California.  First Federal Bank of
California -- http://www.firstfedca.com/-- operates 37 retail  
banking offices in Southern California.  In keeping with the
Bank's retail branch expansion plan, two new retail branches were
opened during the second quarter of 2008.  The Bank operates two
lending offices, one in Southern California and one in Northern
California.


FIRSTFED FINANCIAL: Posts $35.5MM Net Loss in Second Qtr. 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------
FirstFed Financial Corp. disclosed lower loan loss provisions and
a decline in single family loans less than 90 days delinquent in
the second quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2008.
"While there can be no assurance that this trend will continue, it
does reflect our efforts to work through the issues in the single
family loan portfolio,"  said Babette Heimbuch, CEO.

The company reported a net loss of $35.5 million or $2.60 per
diluted share of common stock for the second quarter of 2008
compared to a net loss of $69.8 million or $5.11 per diluted share
of common stock for the first quarter of 2008 and net income of
$29.1 million or $1.74 per diluted share of common stock for the
second quarter of 2007.

                         Delinquent Loans

The second quarter loss resulted primarily from a $90.2 million
provision for loan losses.  The loan loss provision was due to
ongoing charge-offs and modifications of single family loans as
well as higher levels of non-accrual single family loans (loans
greater than 90 days delinquent or in foreclosure).  The Company
recorded a $150.3 million provision for loan losses during the
first quarter of 2008 and a $3.1 million loan loss provision
during the second quarter of 2007.

First Federal Bank of California's higher levels of single family
non-accrual loans are the result of the large numbers of
adjustable rate mortgages that faced a recast of their payment
amount in the latter part of 2007 and early 2008.  Non-accrual
single family loans increased to $491.7 million as of June 30,
2008 from $393.6 million at March 31, 2008 and $179.7 million as
of Dec. 31, 2007 compared to $53.3 million as of June 30, 2007.  
However, single family loans delinquent less than 90 days have
declined as the number of loans facing payment recast have
declined during 2008.  Single family loans less than 90 days
delinquent have decreased to $207.7 million as of June 30, 2008
from $273.3 million as of March 31, 2008 and $236.7 million as of
Dec. 31, 2007 compared to $35.2 million as of June 30, 2007.

The level of delinquent loans during 2008 was significantly
impacted by adjustable rate mortgages that reached their maximum
allowable negative amortization and required an increased payment.
The Bank estimates that 594 loans with balances totaling
approximately $266.3 million could hit their maximum allowable
negative amortization during the rest of 2008.  In comparison,
1,366 loans with balances totaling approximately $644.0 million
were scheduled to recast during the first half of 2008 and 1,778
loans with balances totaling approximately $823.0 million were
scheduled to recast in the second half of 2007.  Another 1,422
loans, with balances totaling $653.0 million, could hit their
maximum allowable negative amortization during 2009.  The Bank has
a program to reach out to borrowers faced with loan recasts to
encourage them to modify their loans before the recast date.

                          Modified Loans

Total modified loans were $308.7 million as of June 30, 2008.
These modified loans are considered troubled debt restructurings  
and valuation allowances of $26.3 million were established as of
June 30, 2008.  Another $13.2 million in adjustable rate mortgages
were modified as of June 30, 2008 but were not considered TDRs and
therefore no valuation allowances were established.  Modified
loans totaled $108.1 million at March 31, 2008 and $1.8 million as
of Dec. 31, 2007.  There were no modified loans as of June 30,
2007.

                          Other Factors

Second quarter net earnings were also impacted by lower net
interest income which decreased by $4.6 million or 9% compared to
the first quarter of 2008 and $25.0 million or 36% compared to the
second quarter of 2007.  Net interest income decreased due to
lower interest-earning assets, increased non-accrual loans and
lower interest rate spreads compared to the earlier periods.

On a year-to-date basis, the company reported a net loss of
$105.3 million or $7.71 per diluted share for the first six months
of 2008 compared to net income of $61.5 million or $3.66 per
diluted share for the first six months of 2007.  The year-to-date
loss was attributable to the increased loan loss provisions
recorded during the first and second quarters and a 35% decrease
in net interest income compared to the same period of the prior
year.

Net loan charge-offs totaled $80.4 million and $108.9 million for
the second quarter and the first six months of 2008 compared to
$1.1 million and $1.8 million for the second quarter and the first
six months of 2007.  The Bank's non-performing assets to total
assets ratio increased to 8.20% at June 30, 2008 from 6.20% at
March 31, 2008 and 2.79% at Dec. 31, 2007 compared to 0.85% at
June 30, 2007.  The increases over the last year were due
primarily to increased single family non-accrual loans.

Total allowances for loan losses (general valuation allowances
plus allowances for impaired loans) as a percentage of gross loans
were 3.96% or $259.7 million at June 30, 2008 compared to 3.83% or
$249.9 million as of March 31, 2008, 1.93% or $128.1 million as of
Dec. 31, 2007 and 1.62% or $114.9 million as of June 30, 2007.
Allowances allocated to single family loans were 5.5% of gross
single family loans at June 30, 2008.

Sales of real estate owned resulted in net gains of $3.4 million
for the second quarter of 2008 and $3.2 million for the first six
months of 2008 compared to net losses of $103 thousand and
$189 thousand for the second quarter and first six months of 2007.  
The gains recorded during 2008 resulted from conservative write
downs at the time of foreclosure which created gains upon the
ultimate disposition of the properties.  Holding costs associated
with foreclosed real estate totaled $3.2 million and $4.4 million
during the second quarter and first six months of 2008 compared to
$369 thousand and $555 thousand during the second quarter and
first six months of 2007.

Net interest income was $44.7 million and $94.0 million during the
second quarter and the first six months of 2008 compared to
$69.7 million and $144.9 million during the second quarter and the
first six months of 2007.  Net interest income decreased during
2008 compared to 2007 due to declines in average interest-earning
assets and lower net interest spreads.  Due to loan payoffs,
average interest-earning assets decreased by 13% during the second
quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 and 18%
during the first six months of 2008 compared to same period of
2007.  The interest rate spread decreased by 71 basis points
during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter
of 2007 and 51 basis points during the first six months of 2008
compared to the first six months of last year.  The decreased
spreads were primarily caused by interest lost on non-performing
loans which lowered the loan yield by 1.15% during the second
quarter of 2008 and 0.92% during the first six months of 2008.

Loan originations were $491.6 million and $777.0 million during
the second quarter and the first six months of 2008 compared to
$180.4 million and $439.9 million during the second quarter and
the first six months of 2007.  Single family loans comprised 63%
of loan originations during the second quarter of 2008 compared
with 73% of loan originations during the second quarter of 2007.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans comprised 33% of
loan originations for the second quarter of 2008, compared with
21% of loan originations for the second quarter of 2007.

Negative amortization, included in the balance of loans
receivable, totaled $302.3 million at June 30, 2008 compared to
$301.7 million at Dec. 31, 2007 and $267.5 million at June 30,
2007.  Negative amortization represents unpaid interest earned by
the Bank that is added to the principal balance of the loan.
Negative amortization decreased by $7.1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, but increased by $586 thousand for the first
six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to increases of
$19.0 million and $51.7 million for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2007.  Negative amortization as a percentage of all
single family loans that have negative amortization totaled 8.89%
at June 30, 2008 compared to 8.35% at March 31, 2008, 7.68% at
Dec. 31, 2007 and 5.19% at June 30, 2007.

The portfolio of single family loans with one-year fixed monthly
payments totaled $2.8 billion at June 30, 2008 compared to
$3.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2007 and $3.6 billion at June 30, 2007.  
The portfolio of single family loans with three-to-five year fixed
monthly payments totaled $901.3 million at June 30, 2008 compared
to $1.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2007 and $1.3 billion at
June 30, 2007.

Non-interest expense was $25.1 million and $47.2 million for the
second quarter and the first six months of 2008 compared to
$20.9 million and $41.8 million for the second quarter and the
first six months of 2007.  The ratio of non-interest expense to
average total assets was 1.41% and 1.32% for the second quarter
and the first six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 1.03% and
0.98% for the quarter and the first six months ended June 30,
2007.  The increase in non-interest expense during the second
quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 was due
primarily to holding costs associated with foreclosed real estate,
increased loan incentive costs, and increased federal deposit
insurance costs.  The increase in non-interest expense during the
first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007
was due to increased holding costs on foreclosed real estate,
increased federal deposit insurance costs and increased occupancy
costs due to the opening of new branches and a $1.1 million lease
write-off for the former corporate headquarters.

The Bank's risk-based capital ratio was 17.83% at June 30, 2008
and its core and tangible capital ratios were 9.45%, which were in
excess of the 10% and 5% ratios, respectively, required by the
Bank's federal regulators to be considered well capitalized.

FirstFed's balance sheet showed total assets of $7.2 billion,
total liabilities of $6.6 billion, and stockholders' equity of
$550.8 million as of June 30, 2008.

Total assets decreased as of June 30, 2008 from $7.7 billion as of
June 30, 2007 due to loan payoffs and principal reductions.  Due
to increased loan originations during the first six months of
2008, total assets at June 30, 2008 were comparable to total
assets as of Dec. 31, 2007.

FRONTIER AIRLINES: Bares Amendment to Annual Report for Year 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. and its debtor-affiliates reported
amendments to their annual report for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008, with respect to compensation, initial reports of,
and changes in, stock ownership of the company's directors and
officers.

According to Frontier chief executive officer and director
Sean T. Menke, a compensation committee reviews the make-up of
the peer companies on an on-going basis to evaluate compensation
trends in the airline industry, and to review total compensation
levels for fiscal year 2008.

The peer companies consisted of Airtran Holdings Inc., Alaska
Air Group Inc., ATA Airlines, Champion Air, Compass Airlines,
Continental Airlines Inc., Expressjet Holdings Inc., JetBlue
Airways Corp., Mesa Air Group Inc., Republic Airways Holdings
Inc., Skywest Inc., Virgin America and US Airways.

As of March 31, 2008, the principal components of the executive
officers' compensation were base salary, performance-based annual
cash incentive compensation, long-term equity incentive
compensation, and long-term cash incentive compensation,
Mr. Menke said.

According to the SEC filing, Frontier instituted a salary
reduction program after the Petition Date, pursuant to which
Mr. Menke agreed to a 20% reduction in his base salary, and other
officers agreed to a 10% reduction in their base salary for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.

Frontier did not achieve a pre-tax profit margin of 2% and no
annual cash incentive was awarded as of the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008, Mr. Menke said.

Frontier's long-term incentive program -- consisting of annual
awards of stock-only stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
units and a performance-based cash incentive -- was designed to
(i) retain the named executive officers and other executives, as
well as to focus their attention on long-term performance, and
(ii) directly align the executive officers\u2019 financial
interests with those of stockholders.

The performance-based cash incentive for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008, were established with average pre-tax profit
margin over the three-year performance period as the performance
metric and set minimum, target, and maximum pre-tax profit
margins of 4%, 8%, and 12% as the performance levels, Mr. Menke
told the SEC.

Certain awards made under Frontier's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
may qualify as performance-based compensation that will be fully
deductible for federal income tax purposes under the $1,000,000
cap rules of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.  
However, Frontier did not establish a policy that mandates that
all compensation must be deductible under the IRS provision to
retain flexibility to design compensation programs.  Frontier
granted some equity awards, including restricted stock, that are
not eligible for the Section 162(m) exception.

Effective on Mr. Menke's hiring date on Sept. 7, 2007, he   
received an annual salary of $325,000, and was eligible to
participate in the executive bonus and equity incentive plan, and
received initial grants of 100,000 SOSARs and 30,000 RSUs.  

The SOSARs have a 10-year expiration term and will vest 20% on
each of the first five anniversaries of the grant, while the  
RSUs vest 100% on the fifth anniversary of the grant.  In
addition, Frontier paid certain expenses related to Mr. Menke's
transition from Air Canada to Frontier.  Due to the company's
Chapter 11 filing, however, the SOSARs or RSUs granted to Mr.
Menke will not have any value, according to the SEC.

Frontier's NEOs did not have, as of March 31, 2008, any special
guaranteed payments due on retirement or change of control.  
Pursuant to a Severance Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court in
June 2008, Frontier would provide its executive officers and
other employees with severance if they were terminated without
cause or terminated for "good reason" following a change in
control.

Mr. Menke further disclosed that as of July 28, 2008, 15 of
Frontier's directors and officers beneficially owned 578,418
shares of the Company's common stock.  The number of shares of
Frontier's common stock outstanding as of July 28, was
36,945,744.

As of March 31, 2008, Frontier paid KPMG LLC, as the Company's
independent auditors, a total of $1,023,100 for audit services
that the firm rendered to the Debtors, Mr. Menke added.

GENERAL MOTORS: Asks Advertising Agencies for a 20% Fees Discount
-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp., in its latest attempt to save money, has
asked advertising agencies for a 20% discount this year and the
next, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The Journal, citing a spokeswoman, relates that the car maker has
asked its agency partners to work with them to eliminate low-value
work and find creative solutions to go to market more efficiently.

WSJ, citing people familiar with the matter, says the cuts could
result to more than $20 million in total savings for General
Motors, but will likely mean layoffs for the agencies involved.

WSJ indicates that GM also has pulled out of September's Emmy
broadcast on Walt Disney's ABC; it has advertised on the star-
studded program for about a decade.

Auto makers account for more than 12% of all ad spending in the
country -- more than any other single industry, WSJ notes.

The owner of Cadillac and Chevrolet, WSJ indicates, works with
dozens of agencies around the country, including Publicis Groupe's
Leo Burnett and Interpublic Group's McCann Erickson and Campbell-
Ewald.

Michael Nathanson, a senior analyst at Bernstein Research, in a
report to investors this week predicts U.S. auto advertising will
fall to $15 billion in 2008 from $18 billion last year -- a
noticeable drop from $24 billion in 2004, WSJ relates.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 24, 2008,
DBRS has placed the ratings of General Motors Corporation and
General Motors of Canada Limited Under Review with Negative
Implications.  The rating action reflects the structural
deterioration of the company's operations in North America brought
on by high oil prices and a slowing U.S. economy.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services is placing its corporate credit
ratings on the three U.S. automakers, General Motors Corp., Ford
Motor Co., and Chrysler LLC, on CreditWatch with negative
implications, citing the need to evaluate the financial damage
being inflicted by deteriorating U.S. industry conditions--largely
as a result of high gasoline prices.  Included in the CreditWatch
placement are the finance units Ford Motor Credit Co. and
DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC, as well as GM's
49%-owned finance affiliate GMAC LLC.

As related in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 5, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on
General Motors Corp. (B/Negative/B-3) are not immediately affected
by the company's announcement that it will cease production at
four North American truck plants over the next two years.  These
closures are in response to the re-energized shift in consumer
demand away from light trucks.  GM previously said only one shift
was being eliminated at each of the four truck plants.  Production
is being increased at plants producing small and midsize cars, but
the cash contribution margin from these smaller vehicles is far
less than that of light trucks.


GENERAL MOTORS: Provides $300MM to Help Delphi Exit Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. will grant Delphi Corp. an additional
$300 million on top of the $650 million already promised to help
its former parts unit exit bankruptcy protection, The Wall Street
Journal reports.

WSJ, citing court papers, says that GM may increase its loans to
its top supplier to $950 million through the end of 2008 to
reimburse Delphi for labor-related costs and other liabilities.  
WSJ relates that GM had agreed to assume these liabilities under a
settlement entered into during the Chapter 11 case.

The $950 million, WSJ indicates, represents a portion of the
amount GM would have paid Delphi had the supplier emerged from
Chapter 11.  GM will receive a top priority claim under bankruptcy
law for the advances, WSJ notes.

The agreement comes amid GM reporting a $15.5 billion loss for the
second quarter, $2.8 billion of which was related to adjusting the
accounting for its relationship with Delphi.

GM agreed to increase the loan in July, at about the time the auto
maker was patching together its own plan to boost liquidity by
$15 billion through 2009, The Journal states according to GM
spokeswoman Julie Gibson.

GENERAL MARITIME: Arlington Tankers Merger to Create $2BB Company
-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Maritime Corporation and Arlington Tankers Ltd. have
entered into a definitive agreement whereby the two companies will
combine in a stock-for-stock combination.  Under the terms of the
definitive agreement, approved unanimously by the Boards of
Directors of both General Maritime and Arlington Tankers,
shareholders of General Maritime will receive 1.340 shares of the
combined company for each share of General Maritime held, and
shareholders of Arlington Tankers will receive one share of the
combined company for each share of Arlington Tankers held.

The combination will create a leading publicly traded tanker
company and represents a highly strategic transaction for
shareholders of both General Maritime and Arlington Tankers. Some
of the key highlights of the combined company include:

     -- Modern, diverse fleet of 31 vessels (approximately
        4.0 million dwt) with an average age of 8.0 years
        with a presence in both crude and product segments

     -- Management team with significant consolidation experience

     -- Attractive balance between time charter and spot exposure
        to provide earnings and cash flow stability while
        allowing for additional upside from stronger tanker rates

     -- Significant contracted revenue stream: approximately
        $450 million of revenues contracted through 2013

     -- Improved financial flexibility to invest in growth, with
        a cash dividend target of $2.00 per share annually

     -- Stronger platform for growth and well-positioned to be
        a leading consolidator in the industry

     -- Combined market capitalization of approximately
        $1.1 billion, and a combined enterprise value of
        approximately $2.0 billion

Peter Georgiopoulos, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of General Maritime, commented, "In merging General
Maritime and Arlington Tankers, we have entered into a significant
value creating transaction for the shareholders of both companies.
We believe the new Company's large diverse double-hull fleet,
combined with its balanced chartering strategy, will offer
shareholders stable cash flows as well as upside potential to the
products and crude tanker markets. The combined company will
further differentiate itself by having a sizeable fixed dividend
target while retaining capital for growth. This approach, together
with a strong financial position, bodes well for management to
draw upon its considerable consolidation experience to capitalize
on growth opportunities that meet strict return requirements. We
believe our focus on growth, as well as the anticipated cash cost
savings of the transaction, will position the combined company to
increase earnings and pay substantial dividends to shareholders
over the long-term."

"General Maritime is the ideal partner to increase value for
Arlington Tankers' shareholders," said Ed Terino, Chief Executive
Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer of Arlington
Tankers. "The combination of General Maritime and Arlington
Tankers provides significant opportunities for long-term growth in
shareholder value as a result of the larger and more-diverse
fleet, stronger financial position and highly experienced team to
actively manage and further expand the fleet. Complementing the
combined company's focus on fleet and earnings growth, I am
pleased that our shareholders will have the opportunity to
continue to receive attractive dividends supported by a balanced
chartering strategy and a sizeable revenue stream."

The combined company, to be named General Maritime Corporation,
will be headquartered in New York City.  Shares in the combined
company will continue to be listed on the NYSE and trade under the
ticker symbol "GMR".  Existing shareholders of General Maritime
will own approximately 73% of the combined company and the
existing shareholders of Arlington Tankers will own approximately
27% of the combined company.  The combined company will be led by
Peter Georgiopoulos as Chairman, John Tavlarios as President,
Jeffrey Pribor as CFO and John Georgiopoulos as Executive Vice
President, Treasurer and Secretary. General Maritime intends to
discuss with Mr. Terino a consulting arrangement for assistance in
the post-closing transition period. The Board of Directors of the
combined company will consist of the six current General Maritime
directors and one director from Arlington Tankers.

Together, General Maritime and Arlington Tankers are expected to
generate revenue of approximately $353 million and EBITDA of
approximately $235 million on a pro forma basis for 2008E. The
combined company is expected to generate cash cost savings of
approximately $7.5 million, as well as cost reductions relating to
the General Maritime executive transition, in the first year of
operations. The combined company expects to establish an initial
annual dividend target, subject to determination by the combined
company's Board, of $2.00 per share, with additional upside
through synergies and continued growth. Both General Maritime and
Arlington Tankers have the support of their existing bank groups
and have received preliminary approvals to roll-over their
respective debt facilities.

Peter Georgiopoulos concluded by saying, "In leading the combined
Company, we intend to be steadfast in our pursuit of creating
value for shareholders over the long-term. In seeking to
accomplish this critical objective, we will draw upon management's
past success, which includes returning over $1 billion to
shareholders and achieving total returns of 180% since going
public in 2001. We are excited about the prospects of the combined
company and will actively seek opportunities to grow the combined
company's strong portfolio of assets, while maintaining a stable
dividend return to our enlarged shareholder base."
The transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of
both General Maritime and Arlington Tankers.

Closing of the transaction is also subject to customary closing
conditions and regulatory approvals, including expiration of the
waiting period under Hart-Scott Rodino Act and similar approvals
in other jurisdictions. The transaction is expected to close in
the fourth quarter of 2008. Both General Maritime and Arlington
Tankers are expected to pay their separate dividends for the third
quarter of 2008, with the dividend for the fourth quarter of 2008
expected to be the first dividend paid by the combined company.

Contingent upon the closing of the proposed transaction, General
Maritime expects Peter Georgiopoulos to remain as Chairman of the
company and to step down as President and CEO with John Tavlarios
becoming President of General Maritime. As Chairman, Mr.
Georgiopoulos will continue to focus on strategy and transactional
operations of the company. The company expects to achieve
substantial cash cost savings for salary and support expenses in
connection with this transition, and to make a payment to Mr.
Georgiopoulos in connection with the termination of his employment
agreement and as a bonus for 2008.

                   About Arlington Tankers Ltd.

Arlington Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: ATB) is an international, seaborne
transporter of crude oil and petroleum products. Arlington
Tankers' fleet consists exclusively of eight, modern double-hulled
vessels and is one of the youngest tanker fleets in the world,
with an average vessel age of approximately 4.7 years. The fleet
consists of two V-MAX tankers, which are specially designed very
large crude carriers, two Panamax tankers and four Product
tankers. All of Arlington Tankers' vessels are employed on long-
term time charters. Arlington Tankers was incorporated in Bermuda
in September 2004. Arlington Tankers completed its initial public
offering on the New York Stock Exchange on November 10, 2004.


GENERAL MARITIME: S&P Affirms 'BB' Rating on Merger Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on General
Maritime Corp., including the 'BB' long-term corporate credit
rating. The outlook remains negative.

General Maritime has entered into an agreement to merge with
Arlington Tankers Ltd. (Arlington; not rated). The proposed
transaction is structured as a stock for stock merger; General
Maritime's shareholders will own 73% of the combined company and
Arlington shareholders the remaining 27%. The proposed merger is
subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and is expected to
close by the end of the year.

General Maritime and Arlington provide international shipping of
crude oil and refined petroleum products. Arlington is a jointly
owned subsidiary of Stena AB (BB+/Stable/--) and Concordia
Maritime AB (not rated), which together own 18% of Arlington's
outstanding common shares. The combined General Maritime and
Arlington will operate a fleet of 31 vessels, with a carrying
capacity of 3.9 million deadweight tons. Twenty-three of the
vessels will come from General Maritime and eight from Arlington,
including two VLCCs (very large crude carriers), which General
Maritime does not have in its fleet. The average age of the fleet
would be 8.0 years at June 30, 2008, which is somewhat younger
than the industry average. If the merger is successful, S&P
expects that the company could see a modest improvement in its
earnings and credit measures.

"Despite the anticipated improvement in credit measures, the
outlook on our ratings remains negative, reflecting concerns over
the company's aggressive financial policy, characterized by share
repurchases and material dividend payouts, which have contributed
to increased debt leverage and weakened its credit measures," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Funmi Afonja. We expect that the
company will maintain its aggressive financial policy with the
combined entity and will likely pay out dividends at the targeted
level of $2 per share. On March 28, 2008, and prior to the merger
announcement, General Maritime amended its credit agreement,
removing the $50 million cap on annual stock buybacks and
increasing the aggregate amount allowed for dividends, including
stock buybacks, to $150 million plus 50% of the company's
cumulative net excess cash flow after Feb. 16, 2007. At March 31,
2008, the company had about $107.1 million remaining under its
current share-repurchase program, which can be used at
management's discretion, subject to the terms of the credit
facility.

Ratings on New York, N.Y.-based General Maritime reflect the
company's aggressively leveraged financial profile, shareholder-
friendly policies, and participation in the capital-intensive,
highly fragmented, volatile, and competitive shipping industry.
Positive credit factors include satisfactory
liquidity and somewhat stable cash flow from an increasing
proportion of time-charter contracts with customers, including all
the customers from Arlington's fleet, which are on time-charter
contracts.

The negative outlook incorporates an expectation that the merged
company would continue its aggressive financial policy
characterized by share repurchases and material dividend payouts.
S&P could lower its ratings if shareholder rewards or a downturn
in earnings caused funds flow to debt to drop below 20% on a
sustained basis. S&P could revise the outlook to stable if the
company adopts a less-aggressive financial policy.


GREEKTOWN CASINO: Wants Vendor, Reclamation Claims Procedures Set
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Greektown Casino LLC and its debtor-affiliates ask authority from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan to
establish procedures for payment of prepetition vendors claims and
reclamation claims.

                     Vendor Payment Procedures

Since the bankruptcy date, the Debtors relate that they have acted
diligently to preserve and maximize the value of their estates by
working with numerous vendors and service providers pursuant to
certain executory contracts.

The Debtors' counsel, Brendan G. Best, Esq., at Schafer and
Weiner, PLLC, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, relates that some
Vendors have refused to continue to supply goods to the Debtors
unless the Debtors agree to pay some or all of those vendors'  
prepetition claims in full.

Mr. Best asserts that due to the severity of the disruptions that
could be caused by a refusal of the Vendors to continuously
supply goods or services to the Debtors, the Vendors should be
promptly paid for the goods or services they provide to the
Debtors.

Accordingly, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to
immediately pay the Vendors for critical goods or services
provided, on an expedited basis, in amounts consistent with their
postpetition financing budget.  The Debtors propose to these
procedures for the payment of Prepetition Vendors Claims:

  (a) If a Vendor refuses to perform its postpetition obligations
      pursuant to an executory contract with the Debtors in
      violation of the Bankruptcy Code because the Debtors have
      failed to pay the Vendor's prepetition claim, and the
      Debtors determine that the failure to receive that Vendor's
      performance prior to the Debtors' ability to obtain a court
      hearing threatens to negatively impact their operations,
      the Debtors will be authorized to immediately pay all or a
      portion of a Vendors' claim in amounts consistent with the
      the Debtors' postpetition financing budget.  Upon receipt
      of a Payment, the Vendor will continue or restart
      performance of the contract pending a Court hearing.

  (b) The Debtors will transmit to the Vendor or to the Vendor's
      counsel, the counsel of the Official Committee of Unsecured
      Creditors, the United States Trustee, and the DIP Lenders a
      notice detailing the Debtors' belief that the Vendor is in
      violation of the Bankruptcy Code through its failure to
      perform under a prepetition agreement.  The Debtors will
      identify both the name of the vendor and the identity of
      the agreement in question.  Through the Notice to the
      Vendor, the Debtors will schedule a hearing at the next
      regularly scheduled Court hearing.

  (c) If the Debtors and a Vendor are unable to reach agreement
      prior to the Hearing, the Debtors will have the burden to
      demonstrate at the Hearing that (i) the Vendor has one or
      more enforceable contracts with one or more of the Debtors,
      and (ii) the Vendor has refused to perform pursuant to the
      contract in violation of Sections 362 and 365 of the
      Bankruptcy Code.

  (d) If the Court determines at the Hearing that the Debtors and
      the Vendor are parties to an enforceable contract and the
      Vendor has refused to perform that contract, the Payment
      will be deemed to have been made on account of any
      postpetition amounts owed by the Debtors to the Vendor.

  (e) The Debtors and the Notice Parties may also seek costs and
      expenses, including attorneys' fees, under Section 362(h)
      as a result of the Vendor's violation of the automatic
      stay.

  (f) In the event the Debtors are unsuccessful in their efforts
      at the Hearing to demonstrate that the Debtors and the
      Repudiating Vendor are parties to an enforceable contract,
      and the Repudiating Vendor has refused to perform in
      violation of that contract, then the Repudiating Vendor
      will be entitled to retain the Payment provided that it
      will continue to perform in the ordinary course of business
      after the Petition Date.

  (g) Nothing in the Debtors' request will be deemed or construed
      as:

         * an admission as to the validity of any claim against
           the Debtors;

         * a waiver of the Debtors' rights to dispute any claim
           on any grounds;

         * a promise to pay any claim;

         * an implication or admission that any particular claim
           would constitute a critical vendor claim; or

         * a request to assume any executory contract or
           unexpired lease pursuant to Section 365.

  (h) If the Debtors and the Repudiating Vendor fail to reach
      agreement before the Hearing and the Debtors decide not to
      proceed with the Hearing, the Notice Parties may proceed
      with the Hearing in accordance with the Vendor Payment
      Procedures.

                  Reclamation Claims Procedures

The Debtors transacted business with hundreds of vendors who
supplied them with a variety of goods in the ordinary course of
the vendors' business.  Those transactions  resulted in
reclamation demands pursuant to Section 546(c)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law and in administrative
expense claims arising under Section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

The Debtors inform the Court that they want to establish an
orderly dispute resolution process for the Reclamation Claims.
The costs to Debtors' estates, their creditors and on the Court's
resources in responding to each Reclamation Claim or 503(b)(9)
Claim will be greater than the cost of a streamlined process for
resolving those Claims, Mr. Best.

The Debtors propose to analyze the validity of the 503(b)(9)
Claims or the Reclamation Claims according to these criteria:

   * Whether the holder of a 503(b)(9) Claim or the holder of
     Reclamation Claim adequately described the goods delivered
     to the Debtors;

   * Whether the Debtors had already paid for the Subject Goods;

   * Whether the Subject Goods were actually received by the
     Debtors within the 20-day period preceding the Petition
     Date;

   * Whether the Reclamation Claim was timely received by the
     Debtors;

   * Whether the Debtors had already consumed or altered the
     Subject Goods by the time the applicable Reclamation Claim
     was received;

   * Whether any secured creditors have the prior rights in the
     Subject Goods or the proceeds of those Goods;

   * The value of the the Subject Goods at the time the 503(b)(9)
     Claim or the Reclamation Claim was made;

   * Whether the amount and value of the Subject Goods conforms
     to the amount and value of the Goods as reflected in the
     Debtors' books and records; and

   * Whether the holder of a 503(b)(9) Claim or holder of a
     Reclamation Claim received transfers that may prevent the
     Debtors from paying the 503(b)(9) Claim or Reclamation
     Claim pursuant to Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code.

By this motion, the Debtors ask the Court to establish dispute
resolution procedures with respect to the Reclamation Claims and
the 503(b)(9) Claims.

The Debtors propose these resolution procedures for the 503(b)(9)
Claims:

  (a) The Court will establish October 31, 2008, as the bar date
      for the filing of 503(b)(9) Claims.  The Debtors will serve
      notice of the Bar Date and the 503(b)(9) Claim proof of
      claim form to all creditors.

  (b) If a 503(b)(9) Claimant does not submit a 503(b)(9) Proof
      of Claim Form on or before the 503(b)(9) Bar Date, that
      Claimant will be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from
      asserting, collecting or seeking any amounts on account of
      his 503(b)(9) Claim.

  (c) The Debtors will have 60 days from the 503(b)(9) Bar Date
      to serve on the primary service list and the relevant
      503(b)(9) Claimants a statement identifying any 503(b)(9)
      Claims that they dispute and the results of the Debtors'
      consideration of the 503(b)(9) Criteria.

  (d) The Debtors and the 503(b)(9) Claimants will have 60 days
      after delivery of the 503(b)(9) Statement to resolve their
      disputes.

  (e) If any 503(b)(9) Claimants and the Debtors are unable to
      resolve their dispute during the Reconciliation Period, the
      relevant Claimants will file with the Court and serve on
      the Debtors, a request for judicial resolution of disputed
      503(b)(9) Claim that bears the caption of the relevant
      Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, within 15 days after the
      expiration of the Reconciliation Period.

  (f) Any request for judicial resolution of disputed 503(b)(9)
      Claim must specifically refute the Debtors' allegations in
      the 503(b)(9) Statement and comply with the Rule 8(b) of
      the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure.

  (g) The Court will establish a preliminary hearing date to
      establish discovery procedures and fix trial dates.

  (h) If a 503(b)(9) Claimant does not timely file and serve a
      request for judicial resolution of any remaining disputes,
      then the Claimant will be deemed to have waived any
      objection to, and will receive without the Court's further
      order, the treatment of the 503(b)(9) Claim under the
      Debtors' 503(b)(9) Statement.

The Debtors propose these resolution procedures for the
Reclamation Claims:

  (a) On or before October 31, 2008, the Debtors will serve on
      the holders of Reclamation Claims and on the Primary
      Service List a statement listing the Reclamation Claims
      that have been received.

  (b) The Debtors and the Reclamation Claims holders will have a
      30 day reconciliation period after the delivery of the
      Reclamation Statement to resolve their disputes.

  (c) If the Debtors and the Reclamation Claims holders are
      unable to resolve their dispute during the Reconciliation
      Period, the relevant Reclamation Claimant will file with
      the Court and serve on the Debtors and the Primary Service
      List a request for judicial resolution of disputed
      Reclamation Claim bearing the caption of the Debtors'
      Chapter 11 cases, within 15 days after the expiration of
      the Reconciliation Period.

  (d) Any request for judicial resolution of disputed Reclamation
      Claim must specifically refute the Debtors' allegations in
      the Reclamation Statement and comply with the Rule 8(b) of
      the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure.

  (e) The Court will establish a preliminary hearing date to
      establish discovery procedures and fix trial dates.

  (f) If a Reclamation Claimant does not timely file and serve a
      request for judicial resolution of any remaining disputes,
      then that Claimant will be deemed to have waived any
      objection to, and will receive without the Court's further
      order, the treatment of the Reclamation Claim under the
      Debtors' Reclamation Statement.

GREENPOINT MORTGAGE: Moody's Publishes Underlying Ratings on Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service published the underlying ratings on the
after certain insured notes.  The underlying ratings were derived
from published ratings on other tranches of the same transaction.

The underlying ratings reflect the intrinsic credit quality of the
notes in the absence of the guarantee.  The current ratings on the
notes are consistent with Moody's practice of rating insured
securities at the higher of the guarantor's insurance financial
strength rating or any underlying rating that is public.

Complete list of underlying ratings are:

Issuer: Greenpoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2007-HE1, Mortgage-
Backed Notes, Series 2007-HE1

  -- Class Description: A-1

  -- Current Rating: Ba1

Financial Guarantor: Syncora Guarantee Inc. (B2, under review for
possible upgrade)

  -- Underlying Rating: Ba1

GSAMP TRUST: S&P Cuts Ratings on Three Classes Lowered to 'D'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on three
classes of mortgage pass-through certificates issued by GSAMP
Trust 2006-S3 to 'D' from 'CCC'.

The downgrades reflect an erosion of credit support to the
affected classes as of the July 25, 2008, distribution date, as,
in S&P's opinion, the collateral continues to incur significant
monthly net losses. The transaction realized a net loss of
$10,049,288 during the July 2008 distribution period, exceeding
the available credit support by approximately $7.32 million, the
amount by which the transaction is now undercollateralized. S&P
expects that the transaction will not become fully collateralized
due to the deteriorating performance of the collateral.

As of the July 25, 2008, distribution date, cumulative realized
losses were 38.19% of the original pool balance, while total
delinquencies were 28.25% of the current pool balance. During the
past six months, the transaction incurred approximately $56.97
million in losses, representing approximately 30% of the total
$188,717,762 in cumulative realized losses. Furthermore, monthly
net losses averaged just over $8.29 million per month during the
past 12 months. The transaction is 26 months seasoned, has a pool
factor of 31.46%, and had an original pool balance of $494.203
million.

S&P originally rated these three classes 'AAA'. S&P first lowered
the ratings to 'BBB' on July 19, 2007, then placed them on
CreditWatch negative on Nov. 16, 2007. Subsequently, S&P
downgraded all three classes to 'CCC' on Dec. 20, 2007. All of the
subordinate classes have already defaulted.

The collateral originally consisted of closed-end, fixed-rate
subprime mortgage loans secured by second liens on residential
real properties. As of the cutoff date, the original combined
loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio was 99.29%, on average, with an average
credit score of 662. In addition, 35.43% of the mortgage loans
were originated in California.

HANGER ORTHOPEDIC: Moody's Confirms B2 CF Rating, Changes Outlook
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the outlook of Hanger Orthopedic
Group Inc. to positive from stable.  In addition, Moody's affirmed
Hanger's ratings, including the B2 Corporate Family Rating.

The positive outlook reflects Moody's expectation for continued
improvement in operating performance and reduction in financial
leverage over the rating horizon driven by healthy same-store
sales growth and operating efficiencies.  Moody's believes the
pricing environment has stabilized due to inflationary price
increases from Medicare and more favorable negotiations with
private payors aided by the success of Hanger's Linkia program.
Further, Moody's believes that the potential for government
reimbursement for the WalkAide product could provide meaningful
upside to Hanger's revenue and cash flow.

The Corporate Family Rating of B2 primarily reflects the company's
modest size and considerable financial leverage as well as the
risks associated with the pricing and reimbursement environment in
the orthotic and prosthetic industry.  The ratings are supported
by the company's competitive position as the largest O&P services
provider in the US, its national footprint and relatively stable,
recurring revenue model.

Rating Affirmed/LGD estimates revised:

  -- $75 million secured revolver due 2011, Ba3 (LGD2, 29%)

  -- $230 million secured term loan due 2013, Ba3 (LGD2, 29%)

  -- $175 million unsecured senior notes due 2014, Caa1 (LGD5,   
     82%)

  -- Corporate Family Rating, B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating, B2

The outlook is positive.

Hanger (NYSE: HGR), headquartered in Bethesda, MD, is the leading
provider of O&P patient-care services in the US. The company owns
and operates 661 patient care centers in 45 states and the
District of Columbia. The company also generates roughly 11% of
total revenues from its O&P distribution business. For the twelve
months ended June 30, 2008, the company recognized revenue of
approximately $672 million.

HUDSON MEZZANINE: S&P Lowers Ratings on Intent to Liquidate
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on six
classes of notes from Hudson Mezzanine Funding 2006-1 Ltd. S&P
left four of the lowered ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications and removed two from CreditWatch.

The downgrades follow notification from the trustee of the
transaction's controlling noteholders' intent to liquidate the
collateral and terminate the deal.

The deal experienced an event of default (EOD) on July 22, 2008,
as a result of failure to pay interest to the class B notes.

Hudson Mezzanine Funding 2006-1 Ltd. is a hybrid collateralized
debt obligation of asset-backed securities (CDO of ABS)
transaction collateralized at the time of the initial rating by
mezzanine residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and other
structured finance assets.

HUISH DETERGENT: Moody's Places Ratings Under Review for Upgrade
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Huish Detergent Inc.'s ratings
under review for possible upgrade given the expected improvement
to the company's capital structure and financial performance
following the proposed merger with the Unilever detergent assets
acquired by Vestar Capital.

Huish will remain under review until the merger is effected and
the final capital structure and business combination is evident.
Given expectations that the debt will remain in place, Moody's
will re-evaluate the company's ratings in light of several factors
including the potential synergies associated with the combination,
an anticipated decrease in leverage, the potential for improved
credit metrics and the expectation that the Huish debt will be
senior to the vast majority of the financing for the Unilever
assets.  While, in Moody's view, the merger would present good
opportunities for synergies (albeit with some integration risk),
high raw material costs and the weakening economy have put
pressure on some operators, particularly operators of mid-tier
brands.  However, Huish's private label brands are expected to
experience more positive momentum given the increase in price
consciousness among consumers.  Notably, prices increases are
expected across the spectrum after the recent unprecedented rise
in raw material and distribution expense.

Ratings Under Review for Positive Upgrade:

  -- Corporate family rating at B2;

  -- Probability of default rating of B2;

  -- $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
     2013 at B1 (LGD 3, 36%);

  -- $650 million first lien term facility due 2014 at B1 (LGD 3,   
     36%);

  -- $225 million second lien term facility due 2014 at Caa1 (LGD
     5, 88%);

Huish Detergents Inc., based in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a leading
private label and value-brand manufacturer of laundry and dish
detergents, fabric softeners and related household and personal
care products.  Huish produces value branded products under the
Sun brand and is a contract manufacturer for several large
international consumer products companies.

IFM COLONIAL: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Corp. Rating; Outlook Is Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB+' corporate
credit rating and 'BBB' issue-level rating on IFM (US) Colonial
Pipeline 2 LLC's (IFM) $225 million senior secured term loan due
2012. At the same time, S&P affirmed its secured recovery rating
of '1', indicating that lenders can expect very high (90%-100%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.

The ratings on IFM, a U.S. subsidiary of Australia-based Industry
Funds Management (not rated), reflect the company's satisfactory
business profile and aggressive financial profile. IFM's only
asset is its 15.8% equity stake in Colonial Pipeline Co.
(A/Stable/A-1), a refined products pipeline that originates in the
Gulf Coast and terminates in the Northeast.

The 'BB+' rating reflects IFM's aggressive financial policy due to
the company's dependence on the dividend stream from Colonial for
debt service, with a very small debt service reserve of about six
months' worth of interest payments. The reserve is triggered when
IFM's interest coverage ratio falls below 1.25x or there is an
event of default under the credit agreement.

The outlook on IFM is stable. S&P could lower the ratings or
revise the outlook to negative if a substantial dividend deferral
occurs without some additional liquidity, provided that it is
sufficient to support IFM's debt service obligations through the
deferral period. "We could also revise the outlook to negative if
there are persistent operating problems at Colonial, or there is a
shift in corporate strategy that would introduce new business or
financial risks into Colonial's credit profile," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Michael V. Grande.

"A ratings upgrade or an outlook revision is unlikely, unless
there is a significant change in financial policy, which we view
as remote," he continued.

JHT HOLDINGS: Court Approves Amended Disclosure Statement
---------------------------------------------------------
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
approved an amended disclosure statement explaining an amended
Chapter 11 plan of liquidated filed by JHT Holdings Inc. and its
debtor affiliates on July 25, 2008.

A hearing is set for Sept. 17, 2008, to consider confirmation
of the amended plan.

The Debtors state that the plan maximizes their value and that
any alternative to confirmation of the plan, such as liquidation
or an alternative plan, would result in significant delays,
litigation and additional costs.

The plan reflects certain agreements between the Debtors and the
prepetition lenders including General Electric Capital
Corporation; Highland Capital Management L.P.; Spectrum Partners
L.P.; and D.B. Zwim Special Opportunities Fund Ltd., owed in the
aggregate amount of $136,000,000 in secured debt.  The plan
further contemplates:

   a) the payment in full, in cash, of the allowed prepetition
      advance claims, debtor-in-possession facility claims,
      administrative claims and priority claims;

   b) exchange of the prepetiton lenders' secured claims for,
      among other things:

      -- the exit second-lien loan in the principal amount of
         $60,000,000, and

      -- 70% of the new stock of reorganized holdings;

   c) reinstatement of intercompany claims and interests; and

   d) discharge of all other claims without recovery, and
      cancellation of all other equity interests.

Prior to their bankruptcy filing, the Debtors entered into a
lockup agreement with their prepetition lenders on June 23, 2008.  
The lockup agreement includes, among other things:

   -- terms for the proposed first-lien exit revolving lien with a
      maximum commitment of $35,000,000 and second-lien exit term
      loan in the principal amount of $60,000,000;

   -- a fully-negotiated senior secured debtors-in-possession
      credit agreement with availability of up to:

        i) $22,000,000, on interim basis, and

       ii) $25,000,000, on final basis;

   -- terms for the new stock to be issued by the reorganized
      holdings; and

   -- certain corporate governance terms including voting rights
      and the composition of the initial board of directors of the
      reorganized holdings.

On June 25, 2008, the Court authorized the Debtors to obtain, on
interim basis, up to $22,000,000 in financing under a revolving
credit facility from a consortium of financial institutions led by
General Electric, as agent and lender.  The facility will be used
to supplement their liquidity status.

The amended plan classified interests against and claims in the
Debtors in nine classes.  The classification of interests and
claims are:

               Treatment of Interests and Claims

              Type                          Estimated  Estimated
Class         of Claims       Treatment       Amount   Recovery

              interests

9             equity          impaired              $0        0%
              interests

Only Class 2 holders are entitled to vote for the amended
plan.  Moreover, holder will receive a pro rata share of:

   i) the exit second-lien loan;

  ii) 70% of the new stock of reorganized holdings, subject to
      dilution only by any new stock, options, or other equity
      awards issued pursuant to the management incentive plan,
      if any; and

iii) an unsecured deficiency claim in the compromised amount of
      $65,000,000, held by the prepetition agent for the pro
      rata benefit of the prepetition lenders, which shall
      constitute an allowed Class 5 claim.

At the sole discretion of Class 2 holders and the exit revolving
lenders, the new stock the receive will be new limited voting
common stock in lieu of new common stock.  On the effective date,
Holders will be deemed to authorize and consent to the
distribution, of up to 30% of the new stock to the exit revolving
lenders.

In addition, any letters of credit issued and outstanding under
the prepetition credit agreement will be either:

   a) automatically converted to letters of credit issued pursuant
      to the exit revolving facility, or

   b) backstopped by reorganized holdings through the posting of
      a supporting letter of credit or letters of credit with the
      prepetition agent from a letter of credit issuer
      satisfactory to the prepetition agent and the Required
      Lenders in a face amount equal to 105% of the sum of all
      outstanding letter of credit obligations under the
      prepetition credit agreement, provided, however, that the
      backstopped letter of credit obligations must expire within
      three months of the plan's effective date.

Holders of Class 1, 3, and 4 will be paid in full on the plan's
effective date.

Class 7, 8 and 9 claims will reinstated.  Class 7 and 8 claims
will be transferred to the reorganized Debtors to which the
Debtors' assets are revested, but Class 9 will be canceled under
the plan.

Holders of Class 5 and 6 will not receive any property from the
Debtors' on the plan's effective date.

LINENS 'N THINGS: Noteholders Want Adequate Protection Effectuated
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Noteholders Committee of Linens 'N Things and its debtor-
affiliates asks the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware to have the adequate protection provisions
approved by the Court in the Final DIP Order and Collateral Order  
effectuated.

In connection with the request, the Noteholders Committee also
seek the Court's authority to employ Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin
Capital, Inc., as its financial advisor.

Pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 14, 2006, among the
Debtors, as issuers or guarantors, and The Bank of New York, as
collateral agent and trustee, the Debtors incurred indebtedness
to holders of certain Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2014
in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of $650,000,000.

To secure the Notes, the Debtors granted to the Indenture Trustee
and the Noteholders security interests in and liens on, among
other things, substantially all of the Debtors' assets.  
Specifically, amounts outstanding under the Indenture were
secured by:

    (i) a second priority security interest in all of the
        Debtors' inventory, accounts receivable, general
        intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, letter of credit
        rights, and certain deposit accounts, securities accounts
        and capital stock of certain subsidiaries; and

   (ii) a first priority security interest in the Debtors'
        equipment, real estate assets, intellectual property,
        certain deposit accounts, the capital stock of Linens 'N
        Things, Inc., and of certain subsidiaries.

Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, relates that the final order approving the
Debtors' postpetition financing governs the relative priority of
the Indenture Liens, and other liens asserted against the
Debtors.

Ms. Jones asserts that within any reasonable range of outcome,
collateral securing the DIP obligations will be sufficient to
repay the DIP in full.  She notes that the remaining collateral,
like excess DIP collateral and Indenture collateral, likely would
be insufficient to satisfy all of the Debtors' obligations under
the Indenture.  Thus, the Noteholders, in all likelihood, are the
fulcrum class of creditors and the Debtors' largest unsecured
creditors, he continues.

Under the final order allowing the use of prepetition lenders'
collateral, the Court directed the Debtors to grant adequate
protection to the Indenture Trustee and Noteholders.  Judge
Sontchi also ordered the Debtors to provide (i) superpriority
claims under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) security
interests in and liens on the DIP Collateral, and (iii) payment of
reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including all legal and other
professionals' fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the
Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders.

Beginning in March 2008, the Debtors began extensive discussions
with their key constituencies regarding their economic condition,
the potential bankruptcy filing, and general terms for a possible
restructuring, Ms. Jones relates.  She contends that the relief
sought is essential to effectuating the agreement reached between
the Debtors, the Noteholders Committee and Houlihan Lokey
prepetition, and to honor the agreement contemplated in the
adequate protection granted to the Noteholders in the Final DIP
Order.

The Noteholders Committee assures Judge Sontchi that the
request's proposed order is acceptable to both the Debtors and
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

                     Houlihan Lokey Retention

Houlihan Lokey will provide financial advisory and related
services in connection with the Noteholders Committee's
consideration of a financial restructuring transaction involving
the Debtors, including the possible implementation of a plan of
reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition, Houlihan
Lokey will, if requested by the Noteholders Committee:

   -- evaluate the Debtors' assets and liabilities;

   -- analyze and review the Debtors' financial condition,
      operations, liquidity and related matters;

   -- analyze business plans, operational strategy and forecasts
      of the Debtors;

   -- evaluate all aspects of the Debtors' near-term liquidity,
      including various financing alternatives;

   -- provide specific valuation or other financial analysis in
      connection with the Debtors' financial restructuring;

   -- assess, formulate and implement options for restructuring,
      reorganization and other strategic alternatives for the
      Debtors;

   -- provide expert testimony relating to the Debtors' financial
      matters; and

   -- provide other financial services, including evaluating and
      advising on any DIP financing, cash collateral, and
      adequate protection arrangements.

The bankruptcy estates will pay Houlihan Lokey a monthly fee of
$175,000, and will also reimburse the firm's reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses.  The Debtors will also pay the firm a cash fee
equal to:

   -- $800,000 as minimum transaction fee; plus

   -- incentive fees in an amount equal to these percentages of
      all consideration received by the Notes:

      * 1.5% of any amount in excess of $195,000,000, but less
        than $325,000,000; plus

      * 2.25% of any amount in excess of $325,000,000, but less
        than $487,500,000; plus

      * 3% of any amount in excess of $487,500,000.

Ms. Jones notes that the Incentive Fee will be reduced by 50% of
the Monthly Fees paid to, and received by, Houlihan Lokey after
the sixth Monthly Fee, but in no event will the Incentive Fee be
less than zero.

The Noteholders Committee has agreed that any transaction fees or
indemnity obligations due to Houlihan Lokey will be deducted from
the consideration that would otherwise be paid in the bankruptcy
cases by the Debtors to the class of Noteholders.

Ms. Jones points out that Houlihan Lokey's retention, and the
Debtors' request for protection under the DIP Final Order, are
essential to effectuating the agreement reached between the
Debtors, the Noteholders Committee and Houlihan Lokey
prepetition, and to honor the agreement contemplated in the
adequate protection granted to the Noteholders in the Final DIP
Order.  She notes that the Debtors and the Noteholders will
benefit from Houlihan Lokey's vast experience and knowledge in
negotiating and formulating a value maximizing the bankruptcy
estates.

Jonathan Cleveland, managing director at Houlihan Lokey, assures
the Court that the firm does not hold any interest against the
Debtors.

LINENS 'N THINGS: To Waive Preference Claims Against Landlords
--------------------------------------------------------------
To avoid being in default under their $700,000,000 DIP Agreement
with General Electric Capital Corp., as agent, due to marginally
lower than required sales performance, Linens 'n Things and its
debtor-affiliates sought and obtained authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to amend their DIP
Agreement to, among other things, waive specific defaults under
the agreement, relates Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards, Layton
& Finger P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware.

The DIP Amendment provides that Sections 8.01(p)(i) through
8.01(p)(xix) of the DIP Agreement will be deleted, and will be
replaced by new provisions, which provide that the Debtors will
default on their DIP Facility if they fail to, among other
things:

   -- deliver to the Agents, the Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders
      and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors a term
      sheet for a proposed consensual plan of reorganization by
      August 1, 2008; and

   -- assume relevant leases or obtain lease extension letters by
      August 1, with respect to all of their warehouse locations,
      and not less than 80% of the Debtors' retail locations,
      other than the permitted store closings.

Mr. Collins explains that the Debtors must, by August 1, either
(i) assume 80% of their remaining retail location real property
leases that are other than those in the permitted store closings,
or (ii) obtain written consent of the landlords to an extension of
the Debtors' time to assume or reject the Remaining Leases through
March 31, 2009.

The Debtors seek the Court's authority to waive potential causes
of action, in their sole discretion and after consultation with
their Creditors Committee, against certain of the lessor parties
to the Remaining Leases pursuant to Sections 547 and 550 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

"The Debtors believe that it would be imprudent to precipitously
move to assume 80% of the Remaining Leases in the extremely
compressed timeframe set forth in the DIP Amendment," Mr. Collins
tells the Court.  Consequently, he notes, the Debtors have
negotiated with the landlords to the Remaining Leases to obtain
the consent of 80% of those landlords to extend the Debtors' time
to decide on the Remaining Leases through March 31, 2009.

Mr. Collins discloses that a number of the Landlords have
demanded that, in exchange for the consent to the extension, the
Debtors seek authorization from the Court to waive any potential
causes of action against the Landlords.  The Debtors do not
believe that they have any substantial preference claims against
any of the Landlords.

The Debtors believe that the relief requested is an extremely
important component to the process of obtaining the necessary
consents for the March 31 extension and, consequently, is in the
best interest of the bankruptcy estates.  Mr. Collins contends
that if the necessary consents are not obtained by August 1, the
Debtors will be in default of the DIP Amendment to the extreme
detriment of the creditors and estates.  However, if the Debtors
are able to obtain the requisite level of consents by August 1,
they will be in a position to proceed with their restructuring
plans for the bankruptcy cases to the benefit of the creditors.

The Debtors further believe that the approval of their request
will greatly facilitate the process of gathering the necessary
consents consistent with the DIP Amendment within the very short
period of time that they have to do so.  Mr. Collins assures
Judge Sontchi that the Creditors Committee fully supports the
relief requested.

LINENS 'N THINGS: Proposes October 6 Claims Bar Date
----------------------------------------------------
Linens 'n Things and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware to establish:

   -- October 6, 2008, at 5:00 p.m. Prevailing Pacific Time, as
      general claims bar date for filing prepetition claims;

   -- the later of:

      * the General Bar Date; or

      * 20 days from the date the Debtors provided notice of the
        amendment

      as specific bar date for filing affected claims in the
      event the Debtors amend their schedules of liabilities;

   -- the later of:

      * the General Bar Date;

      * the date the Debtors are authorized to reject contracts
        or leases; or

      * 30 days after an order or notice is provided

      as the specific bar date for filing claims in connection
      with the Debtors' rejection of various executory contracts
      and unexpired leases;

   -- October 29, 2008, at 5:00 p.m. Prevailing Pacific Time as
      the deadline for all governmental units to file a proof of
      claim;

   -- approve the form and manner for filing proofs of claim,
      which the Debtors prepared based on Official Bankruptcy
      Form No. 10; and

   -- approve the proposed form of notice.

Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger P.A., in
Wilmington, Delaware, says that there are several categories of
claimants who, as a matter of law, procedure or case
administration, should not be required to file a proof of claim
by the applicable Bar Date.  Specifically, the Bar Dates should
not apply to:

   (a) claimants, who already filed a claim against the
       Debtors with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court for the
       District of Delaware using a form similar to Official Form
       10;

   (b) any claim that is listed on the Debtors' schedules,
       provided that:

       * the claim is not scheduled as "disputed," "contingent"
         or "unliquidated;"

       * the claimant does not disagree with the amount, nature
         and priority of the claim as set forth in the schedules;
         and

       * the claimant does not dispute that the claim is an
         obligation of the specific Debtor(s) as set forth in the
         schedules;

   (c) any claim that the Court allowed before the Bar Date
       Order;

   (d) any claim that has been paid in full by any of the Debtors
       or any other party;

   (e) any claim that is subject to specific deadlines fixed by
       the Court;

   (f) any claim held by a Debtor in the Chapter 11 cases;

   (g) any claim of the Debtors' current employee, if the Court
       has authorized them to honor the claim in the ordinary
       course as a wage or benefit;

   (h) any claim of the Debtors' customer, if the Court has
       authorized them to honor the claim in the ordinary course
       as a customer program or obligation;

   (i) any claim that is limited exclusively to the repayment of
       principal, interest and other applicable fees and charges
       owed under any bond or note issued by the Debtors pursuant
       to an indenture;

   (j) any claimant, whose claim is based on an interest in an
       equity security of the Debtors; and

   (k) any claims allowable under Sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1)
       of the Bankruptcy Code as administrative expenses of the
       bankruptcy estates, with the exception of claims allowable
       under Section 503(b)(9), which are subject to General Bar
       Date.

                       The Proof of Claim

The Debtors propose to provide, with the assistance of Kurtzman
Carson Consultants LLC, a "personalized" proof of claim to each
of the creditors listed on the schedules.  The proof of claim,
which is based on the Official Form No. 10, will include
information reflected in the schedules.  Each creditor will have
an opportunity to inspect the proof of claim, and correct any
erroneous data.

The proposed proof of claim form and the personalized information
will reduce delay, confusion and expense in the cases,
Mr. Collins asserts.  It will also make possible the matching of
scheduled and filed claims, while providing additional time for
each creditor to correct any information.

Mr. Collins informs the creditors that their proofs of claim
should state a claim against only one Debtor, and clearly
indicate the Debtor against which the creditor is asserting a
claim.  He notes that the proof of claim must include supporting
documentation.  He reminds the creditors that KCC will not accept
a proof of claim sent by facsimile or e-mail.

The Debtors propose to complete the mailing of the Bar Dates'
notices and proof of claim no later than five business days after
the Court's approval of the Bar Dates.  KCC will serve the Bar
Date Package on certain parties, including the Office of the U.S.
Trustee, committees' counsel, counsel to the agent for the
Debtors' postpetition secured lenders, and all creditors and
other known holders of claims.

In addition to providing notice to individual recipients, and in
the interest of ensuring that all claimants receive notice of the
Bar Dates, the Debtors submit that it would be in the best
interest of their estates to give additional notice of the Bar
Dates by publication.  Hence, the Debtors seek authority to
publish the notice in the national edition of each of the New
York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today on one occasion on
or before September 5, 2008.

                 Management of Claims Processing

The Debtors believe that thousands of parties are entitled to
receive the Bar Date Notice in the Chapter 11 cases.  To
alleviate the burden on the Clerk's Office, the Debtors propose
to use the services of KCC, as applicable, to coordinate the
claims administration process.

The Debtors anticipate establishing supplemental bar dates on a
very limited basis where necessary to ensure that all known and
unknown creditors receive the Bar Date Package.  To minimize any
time and expense, the Debtors seek the Court's permission to
establish Supplemental Bar Dates upon the written consent of the
Creditors Committee with respect to (i) creditors as to which re-
mailing of the Bar Date Package is appropriate, but cannot be
accomplished in time to provide at least 30 days' notice of the
Bar Date, and (ii) other creditors that become known to the
Debtors after the applicable Bar Date.

The Debtors propose to file notices of Supplemental Bar Date with
the Court.  In addition, the Debtors propose to mail a Bar Date
Package, modified to include the Supplemental Bar Date, to known
creditors, who are subject to the Supplemental Bar Date.

The Debtors further seek permission to provide 30 days' notice of
any Supplemental Bar Date because that date may be established
later in the cases, at a time when delay resulting from an
extended notice period could hinder the progress of the cases.  
The Debtors believe the vast majority of parties-in-interest will
be subject to the Bar Date, and will receive at least 45 days'
notice.

MASSEY ENERGY: To Buy Back $335MM in 6.625% Senior Notes Due 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Massey Energy Company commenced a cash tender offer and consent
solicitation for any and all of its outstanding $335 million in
aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2010.  In
connection with the 6.625% Notes tender offer, Massey is
soliciting the consents of the holders of the 6.625% Notes to
proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 6.625% Notes.

Under the terms of the 6.625% Notes tender offer, Massey is
offering to purchase the outstanding 6.625% Notes for a total
consideration, per each $1,000 principal amount of the 6.625%
Notes, equal to:

   (i) the sum of the present value on the Initial Payment Date
of:

       (a) $1,016.56 (the amount payable on November 15, 2008,
which is the first date the 6.625% Notes can be redeemed at this
amount under the indenture -- Next Call Date", plus

       (b) the interest that would be payable on, or accrue from,
May 15, 2008, the most recent interest payment date on the 6.625%
Notes immediately preceding the Initial Payment Date, until the
Next Call Date, in each case, determined on the basis of a yield
-- Tender Offer Yield -- to the Next Call Date equal to the sum
of:

           (x) the bid-side yield on the 3.375% U.S. Treasury Note
due November 15, 2008, as calculated by UBS Securities LLC, the
dealer manager for the Offer, in accordance with standard market
practice, as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2008,
or, if the Offer Expiration Date, is extended by 10 or more
business days, on the 10th business day prior to the extended
Offer Expiration Date, as reported by Bloomberg Government Pricing
Monitor or, if any relevant price is not available on a timely
basis on the Bloomberg Page or is manifestly erroneous, such other
recognized quotation source as the Dealer Manager shall select in
its sole discretion, plus

           (y) 50 basis points (such price being rounded to the
nearest cent per $1,000 principal amount of 6.625% Notes) -- Fixed
Spread -- minus

  (ii) accrued and unpaid interest from May 15, 2008 to, but not
including, the Initial Payment Date.

The consent payment of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes
is included in the calculation of the total consideration and is
not in addition to the total consideration.  Holders who validly
tender and do not withdraw on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City
time, on August 18, 2008, will be eligible to receive the total
consideration. Holders who validly tender after the Consent Date
and do not withdraw on or prior to the Offer Expiration Date will
be eligible to receive only the tender consideration, which equals
the total consideration minus the Consent Payment of $25.00 per
$1,000 principal amount of the 6.625% Notes.

The 6.625% Notes tender offer will expire at midnight, New York
City time, on September 2, 2008, unless extended or otherwise
earlier terminated. Payments of total consideration for the 6.625%
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the
Consent Date and accepted for purchase will be made promptly after
the Consent Date.  Massey expects the Initial Payment Date to be
August 19, 2008. Payments of the tender consideration for the
6.625% Notes validly tendered after the Consent Date and on or
prior to the Offer Expiration Date and accepted for purchase will
also be made promptly after the Offer Expiration Date.

The consummation of the 6.625% Notes tender offer is conditioned
upon, among other things, the receipt of a minimum of $600 million
in aggregate gross proceeds through certain offerings of
convertible notes and common stock and the consent of the holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% Notes to
the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 6.625%
Notes. The 6.625% Notes tender offer is also subject to customary
closing conditions. If any of the conditions are not satisfied,

MASSEY ENERGY: To Issue $250MM in Stock, $600MM in 2015 Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Massey Energy Company intends to offer, subject to market and
other conditions, $250 million of its common stock in a registered
underwritten public offering. In connection with the common stock
offering, Massey intends to grant the underwriters an option to
purchase up to an additional $37.5 million of its common stock to
cover overallotments, if any.

Concurrently with the common stock offering, Massey also intends
to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $600 million
aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2015 in
a registered underwritten public offering. In connection with the
convertible notes offering, Massey intends to grant the
underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $90 million
in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes to cover
overallotments, if any. The convertible notes will be convertible
under certain circumstances and during certain periods into (i)
cash, up to the aggregate principal amount of the convertible
notes subject to conversion and (ii) cash, Massey's common stock
or a combination thereof, at Massey's election, in respect of the
remainder (if any) of Massey's conversion obligation. The interest
rate, conversion rate, offering price and other terms of the
convertible notes will be determined by negotiations between the
underwriters and Massey.

The common stock offering and the convertible notes offering are
being conducted as separate public offerings and are not
contingent upon each other. Massey intends to use the proceeds of
the offerings to fund the purchase of its 6.625% senior notes due
2010 and for general corporate purposes.

UBS Investment Bank and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. are acting as
joint book-running managers for both of the offerings.

The common stock offering and the convertible notes offering are
being made pursuant to a registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Massey Energy Company (NYSE: MEE), headquartered in Richmond,
Virginia, with operations in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia,
is the fourth largest coal producer by revenue in the United
States and is included in the S&P 500 index.


MASSEY ENERGY: S&P Assigns 'B+' Rating to $600MM Notes Due 2015
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' issue rating,
the same as the corporate credit rating, and '3' recovery rating
to Massey Energy Co.'s (B+/Positive/--) proposed $600 million
senior unsecured convertible notes due 2015. The recovery rating
of '3' indicates the expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.

Massey will use proceeds from the proposed notes, in conjunction
with a planned $250 million equity offering, to tender for its
6.625% senior notes due 2010 (of which $335 million is currently
outstanding) and for general corporate purposes.

"Richmond, Va.-based Massey's credit quality reflects its limited
geographic diversity, high cost position, and somewhat aggressive
financial policy as well as the difficult mining conditions in
Central Appalachia," noted Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Sherwin Brandford. "Still, the company is the largest producer of
high-quality, low-sulfur coal in Central Appalachia, with an
extensive reserve


MCG CAPITAL: Fitch Cuts Issuer Default Rating to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the long-term Issuer Default Rating and
unsecured debt rating of
MCG Capital Corporation to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'.  The Rating Outlook is
Negative.  Approximately
$75 million of unsecured debt is affected by this action.

Fitch downgrades these ratings:

  -- Long-term IDR to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
  -- Senior unsecured debt to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'.

The downgrade reflects MCG's reduced funding flexibility as a result of
extended disruptions in the
collateralized loan obligation markets and the expectation that the
company will be unable to obtain
additional secured funding until capital market conditions improve.
Funding is limited to available
capacity on the company's unsecured revolver and capacity on the
warehouse facility, although
actual capacity on the warehouse is limited by the need for
overcollateralization.

Following the announcement of staffing reductions and the temporary
suspension of the dividend,
Fitch believes liquidity levels will be adequate to support current
portfolio investments and
operations; however, the company's profitability potential will be
negatively affected by an inability
to originate new investments to any significant degree.

The Negative Outlook reflects the expectation that business
development companies may continue to record unrealized
depreciation on portfolio company investments as a result of
weaker economic conditions, reduced market multiples, and changing
interest spreads.  Continued reductions in MCG's portfolio
valuation could pressure the asset coverage ratio, which is
required to remain above 200%.  The asset coverage ratio was 210%
as of June 30, 2008.  Resolution of the Negative Outlook will be
dependent on the maintenance of adequate liquidity, stability in
portfolio company performance, and the sustainability of a wider
cushion on the asset coverage ratio.  Conversely, reduced
liquidity or additional pressure on financial covenants could
result in negative rating action.

MERVYN'S LLC: Salient Terms of $465MM Wachovia DIP Financing
------------------------------------------------------------
Mervyn's LLC and its debtor-affiliates received interim approval
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware of
their $465,000,000 debtor-in-possession financing facility under a

operational and financial stability as it proceeds with its
restructuring.

"With the Bankruptcy Court's prompt approval of our DIP financing
. . . we are moving forward with our reorganization under Chapter
11 while maintaining normal operations in our stores," said John
Goodman, Chief Executive Officer of Mervyns.  "We are pleased
that we can continue to serve our customers and purchase goods
and services from our vendors as we seek to implement strategies
to restructure our operations, strengthen our balance sheet and
position Mervyns to compete more effectively."

MERVYN'S LLC: Obtains Interim Order to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------
Mervyn's LLC and Mervyn's Brands, LLC are party to a Loan and
Security Agreement, dated September 2, 2004, by and among
Mervyn's, as borrower; Mervyn's Brands as guarantor; Wachovia --
as successor to Congress Financial Corporation (Western), as
administrative agent and collateral agent; the lenders party
thereto from time to time and other parties.

Under the Loan and Security Agreement, the Prepetition First Lien
Lenders provided a loan facility -- the Prepetition Senior Loan
Facility -- of up to $600 million to Mervyn's consisting of a
$550 million revolving loan A facility and a $50 million revolving
loan B facility, each of which is subject to a borrowing base.

Amounts outstanding under the Prepetition Senior Loan Facility
are secured by a first priority security interest in all or
substantially all of Mervyn's and Mervyn's Brands' accounts,
general intangibles, goods, commercial tort claims, receivables,
real property and fixtures, chattel paper, instruments, documents
and credit card sales drafts, credit card sales slips, charge
slips or receipts and other forms of store receipts, deposit
accounts, letters of credit, bankers acceptances and similar
instruments, investment property, monies, credit balances and
other similar property, records, all products and proceeds of the
foregoing, and Mervyn's membership interests in Mervyn's Brands.

As of bankruptcy filing, an aggregate amount of $329,381,571,
plus interest, costs and expenses, was outstanding under the
Prepetition Senior Loan Facility.

In addition to the Prepetition Senior Loan Facility, Mervyn's is
party to a Subordinated Promissory Note in the aggregate
principal amount of $30 million, dated as of November 27, 2007,
by and among Mervyn's, as borrower; and SCSF Mervyn's (Offshore),
Inc. and SCSF Mervyn's (US), LLC, as lenders.  The SCSF Note is
guaranteed by Mervyn's Brands, and the obligations of Mervyn's
and Mervyn's Brands thereunder are secured by a second lien in
the Prepetition Collateral.

At the First Day Hearing on their bankruptcy case, Mervyn's LLC
and its debtor-affiliates informed the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware that they have an immediate need to use
the Prepetition Collateral, including Cash Collateral, in order
to, among other things, permit the orderly operation of
their business by securing goods and paying employees, preserve
the going concern value of their estates, fund their
reorganization and thereby maximize recoveries for their
stakeholders.

Accordingly, the Court -- at the Debtors' behest -- issued an
interim order authorizing the Debtors to use the Cash Collateral
subject to the prepetition liens and security interests granted
to the Agent, Lenders, Subordinated Note Agent and Subordinated
Noteholders until the expiration of the Agent's and Lenders'
commitment to lend under the Loan Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements.

The Hon. Kevin Gross held that the Debtors will not sell,
transfer, lease, encumber or otherwise dispose of any portion of
the Collateral or assume, reject or assign any real property
leasehold interest of the Debtors without the prior written
consent of Agent and an order of the Court, except for sales or
Debtors' Inventory in the ordinary course of their business and
other Collateral expressly permitted pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Loan Agreement.

The Debtors will remit to the Agent all proceeds of the
Collateral for application by Agent to the Obligations, in the
order and manner as the Agent may determine in its discretion, in
accordance with the terms of the Interim Order, the Loan
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

As adequate protection for the diminution in value of their
interests in the Prepetition Collateral:

   (a) the Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, is
       granted valid, binding, enforceable and perfected
       replacement liens upon and security interests in all
       Collateral -- the A/L Replacement Lien.

   (b) the Subordinated Note Agent, for the ratable benefit of
       the Subordinated Noteholders, is granted a replacement
       lien on and security interest in all Collateral -- the
       Notes Replacement Lien.  

The Replacement Liens will not attach to the Avoidance Actions,
and will only attach to the Real Property Leases to the same
extent as the liens of the Agent and the Lenders in respect of
the Postpetition Obligations.

The (a) A/L Replacement Lien will be junior and subordinate only   
Carve-Out Expenses and the liens and and security interests
granted to Agent and Lenders in the Collateral securing the
Postpetition Obligations, (b) Notes Replacement Lien will be
junior and subordinate in all respects to (i) the right of
payment of all Obligations owing to Agents and Lenders, (ii) the
liens and security interests granted to Agent, for the benefit of
all Secured Parties, pursuant to the Interim Order, including the
A/L Replacement Lien, and (iii) all Carve Out Expenses, and (c)
subject to the subsections (a) and (b), the Replacement Liens
will otherwise be senior to all other security interests in,
liens on, or claims against any of the Collateral.

Neither the Subordinated Note Agent nor the Subordinated
Noteholders will have any right to seek or exercise any rights or
remedies in respect of the Notes Replacement Lien until all
Obligations owing to Agents and Lenders have been indefeasibly
paid and satisfied in full in accordance with the Financing
Agreements.

Moreover, the Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, is
granted as and to the extent provided by Section 507(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, an allowed superpriority administrative expense
claim in each of the cases and any successor cases.  

As further adequate protection, Debtors are authorized to provide
adequate protection to Agent and Lenders in the form of:

   (a) payment of interest, fees and other amounts due under the
       Prepetition Financing Agreements to the Agent on behalf of
       Lenders, and

   (b) ongoing payment of the fees, costs and expenses,
       including reasonable legal and other professionals' fees
       and expenses, of the Agent and Lenders as required under
       the Prepetition Financing Agreements.

The Subordinated Note Agent and Subordinated Noteholders will be
paid or reimbursed by the Debtors for all present and future
legal and other professional fees paid or incurred by them in
connection with the Chapter 11 Cases as and to the extent the
reimbursement or payment is provided for under the Subordinated
Noteholder Documents, provided that:

     (i) the amount that the Debtors are permitted to pay or
         reimburse to the Subordinated Note Agent and the
         Subordinated Noteholders in respect of legal and
         professional fees will not exceed $75,000, and

    (ii) payment or reimbursement of fees is subject to the
         right of the Debtors, the committee and other
         parties-in-interest to later assert that the payments
         should be allocated and applied to a reduction of the
         principal amount of the indebtedness owing to
         Subordinated Note Agent and Subordinated Noteholders,
         pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Court will convene a hearing on August 26, 2008, at 10:00
a.m., to consider final approval of the request.

MERVYN'S LLC: Court Approves Kurtzman Carson as Claims Agent
------------------------------------------------------------
Mervyn's LLC and its debtor-affiliates sought and obtained
authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to employ Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as their
claims, noticing and balloting agent.

The Debtors note that thousands of creditors are expected to file
proofs of claims and the noticing, receiving, docketing and
maintaining of claims in this volume would be unduly time
consuming and burdensome for the Clerk's Office.  
                                                                                
Kurtzman Carson is a data processing firm that specializes in
Chapter 11 administration.  Utilizing the firm's services will
allow the Debtors to avoid duplication in claims administration
and will expedite service of notice to the Debtors' creditors,
the Debtors assert.

As claims, noticing and balloting agent to the Debtors, Kurtzman
Carson will:

   (a) notify all potential creditors of the filing of the
       Debtors' Chapter 11 cases and of the setting of the first
       meeting of creditors;

   (b) file affidavits of service for all mailings, including a
       copy of each notice, a list of persons to whom the notice
       was mailed, and the date of mailing;

   (c) maintain an official copy of the Schedules, listing
       creditors and amounts owed;

   (d) furnish a notice of the last date for the filing of proofs
       of claim and a form for filing a proof of claim to
       creditors and parties-in-interest;

   (e) docket all claims filed and maintaining the official
       claims register on behalf of the Clerk and providing to
       the Clerk an exact duplicate thereof;

   (f) specify in the claims register for each claim docket
       (i) the claim number assigned, (ii) the date received,
       (iii) the name and address of the claimant, (iv) the filed
        amount of the claim, if liquidated, and (v) the allowed
        amount of the claim;

   (g) record all transfers of claims and provide notices of the
       transfer as required pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e);

   (h) maintain the official mailing list for all entities who
       have filed proofs of claim;

   (i) mail the Debtors' disclosure statement, plan, ballots and
       any other related solicitation materials to holders of
       impaired claims and equity interests;

   (j) receive and tally ballots and respond to inquiries
       respecting to voting procedures and the solicitation of
       votes on the plan; and

   (k) provide any other distribution services as necessary or
       required.

In addition, Kurtzman Carson will assist the Debtors by acting as
solicitation and disbursing agent in connection with the Chapter
11 plan process.

Kurtzman Carson will be paid in accordance with the firm's fee
structure.  Aside from the professional fees, the Debtors have
agreed to pay Kurtzman Carson a retainer of $85,000 for the
services to performed and expenses to be incurred.  The Debtors
will also reimburse Kurtzman Carson for reasonable expenses
including lodging, meals, publication and  postage in addition to
the hourly rates.

James Le, chief operating officer of Kurtzman Carson Consultants
LLC, assures the Court that his firm is a "disinterested person"
as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy
Code, as modified in Section 1107(b).

NEW JERSEY HEALTH: Fitch Cuts Rating to BB+ on $41MM Revenue Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded approximately $41 million of New
Jersey Health Care Facilities Financing Authority revenue bonds
issued on behalf of Palisades Medical Center, Inc.  The obligated
group consists of PMC and Palisades General Care, Inc., which
includes the Harborage, a nursing home adjacent to the hospital.  
The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Negative.

The downgrade to 'BB+' reflects flat utilization trends and
several years of increasing operating losses at PMC, leading to a
significantly weakened balance sheet with declining liquidity and
poor debt ratios.  In fiscal 2007, Palisades lost $5.7 million
from operations (negative 3.9% operating margin) and $2.7 million
on the bottom line (negative 1.8% excess margin).  The Medical
Center lost $4.8 million, including approximately $1.5 million in
investment earnings.  At the end of fiscal 2007, both liquidity
and debt ratios show further deterioration.  Palisades had 67 days
cash on hand down from 71.3 days in 2006 and 99.8 days in 2005,
well below Fitch's median of 120.3 days for the category.  Maximum
annual debt service has declined to 1.7 times from 2.7x in fiscal
2006 and 2.3x in 2005 which compares unfavorably to Fitch's median
of 3x for the 'BBB' rating category.

The obligated group's financial condition has been further
stressed due to an actuarial adjustment to its future pension plan
liabilities.  As a result of the adjustment, Palisades has a
negative fund balance for fiscal 2007 of $13 million.  Palisades
has contributed approximately $5.2 million in fiscal 2007 and
plans to contribute $6.2 million in fiscal 2008 to the pension
plan.  Through May 31, 2008, Palisades produced a negative 1.6%
operating margin (a $960,000 loss; excludes a $1.5 million one
time gain from a prior period settlement) compared to an average
negative margin of 2.1% generated over the last three years.  Days
cash on hand and debt-to-EBITDA ratios were 51.1 days (excluding
proceeds from a $2 million line of credit) and 4.1x compared to
Fitch's below investment grade medians of 53.6 days and 4x,
respectively.

Continuing credit concerns include PMC's flat volume trends, and a
challenging payor mix with a high self-pay component at 10% with
60% of the revenue base stemming from a combination of Medicare
and Medicaid.  Admissions declined to 9,873 in 2007 from 9,946 in
2006, reflecting the growing tertiary presence of Hackensack
University Medical Center (general revenue bonds rated 'A-' by
Fitch) and change of admissions to observation status.

The revision in outlook to Stable from Negative reflects
Palisades' recent and ongoing initiatives to improve operations at
PMC coupled with the historically solid cash flow generated by the
Harborage.  The Harborage alone, which had an EBITDA of
approximately $3.6 million in fiscal 2007, covers the obligated
group's debt service at approximately one times.  Indicators of
stability also include PMC's leading market share in the service
area, its recent designation as a Tier One Essential Hospital by
the NJ Dept of Health, and evidence of growth in the secondary
market area.  

Additional initiatives included substantial FTE reductions,
financial and case management overhaul, coding improvements, the
introduction of new services and new physicians to the service
area, and managed care rate renegotiations.  Of particular
significance is the designation of PMC as a Tier One Essential
Hospital, indicating the expectation of increases in charity care
subsidies from the state of New Jersey despite an overall
reduction in the amount of charity care designated by the state
legislature.

In fiscal 2007, PMC received $3.4 million in charity care
reimbursement and expects to receive an additional $4.8 million in
2008 and $5.6 million in 2009.  Fitch believes that these
initiatives are likely to accrue into further profitability
improvements, although achieving significant profitability in the
near future may be difficult given PMC's challenging operating
environment.

PMC is a 202-bed acute care hospital located in North Bergen, NJ.
PGC is a 249-bed skilled nursing and assisted living facility
adjacent to the hospital.  In fiscal 2007, Palisades reported
total operating revenues of $144.9 million.  Palisades covenants
to provide to the NRMSIRs annual audited financial statements and
quarterly disclosure consisting of a balance sheet, income
statement, utilization statistics, and management discussion and
analysis.


NETBANK INC: Modifies Amended Plan, Equity Holders Cannot Vote
--------------------------------------------------------------
NetBank Inc. says that it made modification to its amended Chapter
11 liquidating plan dated July 9, 2008.  Under it, holders of
equity interest are not allowed to vote for the amended plan.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 14, 2008, the  
deadline for voting on the amended plan is Aug. 29, 2008, at 4:00
p.m.  All ballots must be delivered at NetBank Ballot Processing
Center c/o Kurztman Carson Consultants LLC, 2335 Alaska Avenue in
El Segundo, California.

The Debtor assures the Court that the amendment has no effect on
any creditor or interest holder other than the holders of equity
interest in the Debtor.

The Debtor says that it recorded about 350 holder of its common
stock and more than 11,000 interest holders when it filed the
amended plan.  The Debtor will spend at least $250,000 to provide
solicitation packages to all interest holders.

Under the amended plan, all assets of the Debtor will be
liquidated and the proceeds will be paid to creditors.  Katz of
GGG Inc., the appointed chief restructuring officer of the Debtor,
has partially liquidated the Debtor's assets.

As of the amended plan's effective date, the Debtor estimates the
value of its assets at between $7.2 million and $7.9 million,
exclusive of projected recoveries from avoidance actions, other
causes of action and tax refunds, if any.  Furthermore, the Debtor
expects $7,000,000 in cash -- including proceeds of its remaining
assets real estate and cash held by MG Reinsurance Company after
its liquidation.

NUTRITIONAL SOURCING: Files Ch. 11 Plan and Disclosure Statement
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nutritional Sourcing Inc. and its debtor-affiliates together with
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors delivered to the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware a
joint Chapter 11 plan of liquidation and a disclosure statement
explaining that plan.

A hearing is set for Sept. 4, 2008, at 3:30 p.m., to consider the
adequacy of the Debtors and Panel's disclosure statement.  
Objections, if any, are due Aug. 28, 2008, by 4:00 p.m.

The Debtors and the Panel ask the Court to establish these dates
and deadlines relating to the confirmation of their plan:

   -- Sept. 4, 2008     voting record date
   -- Sept. 8, 2008     distribution of solicitation packages
   -- Oct.  3, 2008     voting and plan objection deadlines
   -- Oct. 10, 2008     deadline for Debtors reply to plan
                        objections
   -- Oct. 14, 2008     confirmation hearing

The Chapter 11 plan provides separate treatments for Nutritional
Sourcing, Pueblo International LLC, and FLBN LLC because their
estate are not being substantively consolidate.  The Debtors
remind the creditors that they may be paid only out of the estate
in which they have a claim.

The terms of the Chapter 11 plan represent the settlement, among
other things:

   i) of several of the largest claims against the Debtors'
      estates -- including a $1,125,000 claim of Pension Benefit
      Guaranty Corporation, holders of senior secured notes and
      the Debtors' two executive officers, and

  ii) resolution of certain issues that have been disputed
      throughout the case, the amount of the FLBN intercompany
      claims that should be classified as a Pueblo trade claim and
      the bonus to be paid to Debtors' two executive officers.

In 2006, the Debtors conducted an auction for the sale of
substantially all of their grocery stores and their distribution
center.  During the action, PS Acquisition Inc. made a
$139,000,000 offer for the Debtors' assets topping Pueblo and
Supermercados Econo Inc.'s $89,750,000 bid.  The Court approved
the sale on Sept. 25, 2007.  The sale closed on Oct. 31, 2008.  

The sale generated about $32,181,628 in proceeds.  The proceeds
were net of, among other things:

   -- repayment of all obligations owed to the lender of
      $101,200,000;

   -- break-up fee and expense reimbursement for Pueblo and
      Supermercados of $4,200,000;

   -- paid and escrowed cure amounts for assumed contracts and
      leases;

   -- other fees and expenses, and

PACIFIC LUMBER: Humboldt Redwood Begins First Week of Operations
----------------------------------------------------------------
Barely a day after The Pacific Lumber Company and its affiliates
exited bankruptcy protection on July 30, 2008, transition at the
reorganized company Humboldt Redwood Company officially kicked
off, the Eureka Reporter disclosed.  

First in the company's list was finalizing the staffing
requirements of HRC, which set up a Humboldt County Rapid
Response Team to assist displaced workers, the Eureka Reporter
noted.  HRC's employee assistance program includes helping out
displaced workers apply for unemployment insurance, assessment
and testing for prospective new fields, career counseling, resume
writing, interview skills and preparation, and job search
techniques.

In two letters to HRC employees dated July 29 and 30, 2008,
Richard Higgenbottom, the new chief executive officer of HRC,
ironed out details pertaining to employees' final paychecks and
extending initial employment offers to PALCO and Scopac workers.

"Of all the transition tasks in front of us, concluding these
employment offers and providing all former Palco and Scopac
employees with clear resolution on the path ahead is the most
important thing we are doing," Mr. Higginbottom said in his
letter, according to The Eureka Reporter.  

A copy of the July 29 Letter to PALCO Employees is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/HRC_1stLetterEmployees.pdf

A copy of the July 30 Letter to PALCO Employees is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/HRC_2ndLettertoEmployees.pdf

As the staffing requirement for 300 employees were being filled
out, HRC scheduled the re-starting of operations at the Scotia
mill on August 4, 2008, the Times Standard related in a separate
report.  

Robert Agnew, an employee with the old PALCO for 31 years,
described HRC's approach as "refreshing," Times Standard noted.

HRC had informed employees that hirings were based on current
market rates, and those who were earning higher under PALCO but
employed by HRC for less would be given a one-time compensation
to smooth the transition, according to Times-Standard.

           2nd District Candidate Fennell's Statement

Estelle Fennell, candidate for the 2nd District, congratulated
HRC on its acquisition of the Pacific Lumber Company, "I am
pleased to mark this historic day by congratulating the Humboldt
Redwood Co. on its success.  As of [the effective date], 210,000
acres of important resource lands -- many of which are in the 2nd
District -- are no longer being managed by a bankrupt company,
and the focus has now turned to sustainable management."

Ms. Fennell also disclosed that she spoke with MRC Chief Forester
Mike Jani, who conveyed his enthusiasm in "rising to the
challenge," the Eureka Reporter noted in a separate report.  

Mr. Jani's priority is to ensure that the employees' needs are
met, the news source quoted Ms. Fennell as saying.  The MRC
Forester has begun inspecting harvest plans and has initiated the
re-marking of trees that will no longer be cut according to HRC's
mission of sustainable forest stewardship.

                         Pending Appeal

To recall, Marathon Structured Finance Fund L.P. and Mendocino
Redwood Company, LLC, the forces behind HRC, were embroiled in a
contested hearing before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District, Corpus Christi Division, before their proposed
Plan was confirmed.

Currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit is an appeal of the Confirmation Order filed by a number
of parties led by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company N.A.,
as Indenture Trustee for the Timber Noteholders.  The rest of the
Appellants are Noteholders who supported a Plan proposed by BoNY.  
Mendocino paid these Noteholders about $513 million on July 30,
which paved the way for PALCO's bankruptcy exit.

PAPPAS TELECASTING: Can Use Cash Collateral Through August 13
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Peter J. Walsh of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware in Wilmington extended, on an interim basis, Pappas
Telecasting Inc.'s access to the cash collateral of its lenders
through August 13, 2008.

The Court will convene a hearing August 13, 2008, to consider
whether to extend the Debtors' authority to use its lenders' cash
collateral, Jamie Mason of The Deal reports.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on May 26, 2008, the
Debtors related that obtaining access to the cash collateral will
help them preserve and maintain the going-concern value of their
assets and sell them in an orderly manner and return them to
creditors.

A. Prepetition Credit Agreement

Substantially all of the Debtors' assets are subject to security
interests and liens in favor of Fortress Credit Corp., as agent
for the prepetition lenders.  Virtually all of the Debtors' cash
constitutes the prepetition lenders' cash collateral.

The Debtors, Fortress, and prepetition lenders entered into a
credit agreement dated March 1, 2006, as amended and restated,
which established term loans to provide working capital and for
other purposes to the Debtors or the committee.

Since the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors are liable to the agent
and prepetition lenders under the credit agreement in the amount
of $303,574,665, plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees.

B. Inability to Pay and Asset Sale

The Debtors are presently unable to pay their debts and have
determined that they are unlikely to do so in the future.  The the
Debtors commenced the bankruptcy case to sell substantially all of
their assets on a going concern basis as soon as practicable and
wind down their business.  The Debtors believe that the immediate
sale of their businesses is critical to preserving their value for
the benefit of creditors and stakeholders.

In 2007, the Debtors related that they began marketing and the
sale process of their assets.  The Debtors intend to finalize the
sale process during the pendency of their chapter 11 case.

As adequate protection, the lenders will receive a security
interests in and liens upon all prepetition collateral, including
the cash collateral, to secure payment of an amount equal to any
diminution in value of the cash collateral from and after the
Debtors' bankruptcy filing.   

The lenders' liens and interests are subject to a carve-out for
payment to professional advisors to the Debtors and fees payable
to the clerk of the Court or the U.S. Trustee.  There is a
$500,000 carve-out for payment to professionals retained in the
Debtors' cases.

The Interim Cash Collateral Order, according to The Deal, came
after the Debtors were denied authority to borrow under a $5
million senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession loan,
also with Fortress, on July 30.

The Deal says the members of the DIP lending syndicate were
Fortress, as administrative agent, and the Debtors' prepetition
lenders, including Northlight Fund LP, Ableco Finance LLC, Silver
Oak Capital LLC, UBS, Global Leveraged Capital Credit Opportunity
Fund I and Atalaya Funding II LP.  Richard F. Casher, Esq., at
Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP, represents Fortress.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 4, 2008, the
Fortress DIP facility incurs interest rate at one month LIBOR plus
5%. The DIP loan contains customary and appropriate events of
default. Fortress  will be paid $10,000 administrative fee per
month as part of the transaction.

According to The Deal, the DIP loan was denied after founder,
chairman and CEO Harry J. Pappas objected to it, claiming that the
company's chief restructuring officer, Mohsin Meghji, does not
have the authority to grant releases and waivers to the
prepetition agent and lenders.  He also argued against the
provision in the DIP waiving the right to sue the lenders, The
Deal adds.

The Deal, citing court documents, relates that the unsecured
creditors' committee also objected to the DIP because it "fears
that the proposed DIP financing is overly expensive and overly
aggressive as to limit the very sale process it is arguably
designed to support.  The DIP credit agreement appears to provide
an overreaching mechanism designed solely to pay the proposed DIP
lenders excessive fees, plus principal and interest, in a
situation where it remains unclear at best as to whether the
prepetition agent's prepetition loans are fully secured."

PERFORMANCE TRANS: Ch. 7 Trustee Seeks BDCF Deal Approval
---------------------------------------------------------
Mark S. Wallach, the trustee appointed under Performance
Transportation, Inc., et al.'s, Chapter 7 cases, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York to approve a
stipulation with Black Diamond Commercial Finance, L.L.C., in its
capacity as agent for PTS II's postpetition secured lenders and
first priority prepetition secured lenders.  The terms agreed by
the parties provide a mechanism for the Chapter 7 Trustee to
administer the estates in the near term through an agreed use of
the cash collateral of PTS II's secured creditors.

William J. Brown, Esq., at Phillips Lytle LLP, in Buffalo, New
York, tells the Court that the terms negotiated with BDCF are
necessary because the Chapter 7 cases presently lack cash to fund
the present daily burn rate in maintaining the Debtors' estates.

Mr. Brown relates that the Debtors financed the premiums on some
of their insurance policies under premium financing agreements
with AICCO, Inc.  Under the existing PFAs, AICCO pays the
respective premiums due under the underlying policies, and the
Debtors are then obligated to repay the amount financed through
periodic installments.  The total annual premiums financed under
the existing PFAs is no less than $8,300,000, or $23,000 per day
as of the Conversion Date.  Since the Conversion Date, the
Chapter 7 Trustee has eliminated the workers compensation portion
of the insurance and is in the process of negotiating for a less
expensive alternative, Mr. Brown further relates.

If the Debtors are unable to continue making payments or the
Chapter 7 Trustee is unsuccessful in negotiating a different
result, AICCO could be entitled to terminate the underlying
policies to recoup its losses, Mr. Brown notes.  The Chapter 7
Trustee would then be required to obtain replacement insurance
which he is presently pursuing but may not be available.

The Chapter 7 Trustee disclosed that the daily expenses or burn
rate could be as high as $40,000 to $60,000.  The major
components of the burn rate amount consist of:

   i. $230,000 per month or $7,666 per day for terminal and
      office rent;

  ii. $23,000 per day for insurance;

iii. $13,000 to $16,000 per day for payments to former employees
      assisting the Chapter 7 Trustee in preservation of the
      assets; and

  iv. amounts necessary for utilities and other miscellaneous
      costs.

The Chapter 7 Trustee realized that with less than $1,000,000
cash on hand at the Conversion Date, there was no way for him to
maintain PTS II's estates while incurring the administrative
costs which were being accrued until at least a disposition and
liquidation plan for PTS II's assets including its significant
rolling stock could be implemented.

Mr. Brown says that the estates appear to have a few unencumbered
assets.  The Chapter 7 Trustee saw little benefit to
administering these estates solely for the benefit of secured
creditors while incurring expenses in performing his statutory
duties including maintaining records, filing tax returns and
terminating pension plans.

The Chapter 7 Trustee was left to consider whether a sizeable
portion of the Debtors' assets which appear to be fully
encumbered by prepetition and postpetition liens should be
abandoned or if the cases should be dismissed, Mr. Brown says.

After extensive negotiations, Black Diamond has agreed:

   a. to consent to use of cash collateral for the payment of the
      Chapter 7 Trustee's commissions and professional persons,
      excluding auctioneers, brokers and liquidators, up to
      $900,000 from the prepetition collateral;

   b. that the $900,000 limitation is without prejudice to any
      rights or objections of Black Diamond, the DIP Lenders, the
      prepetition senior secured lenders and the Chapter 7
      Trustee with respect to compensation the Chapter 7 Trustee
      or professional persons may seek with respect to funds
      which are disbursed or turned over in the Chapter 7 cases
      by the Chapter 7 Trustee on  account of any estate property
      which does not constitute prepetition collateral and
      litigation claims which are not collection actions with
      respect to accounts receivable;

   c. that if there are no sufficient amounts available to
      satisfy compensation allowed and awarded by the Court to
      the Chapter 7 Trustee or professional persons with respect
      to the liquidation of the prepetition collateral and the
      administration of the Debtors' Chapter 7 cases, then the
      prepetition secured lenders are required to pay the amount
      not more than $900,000 to the Chapter 7 Trustee provided
      that no prepetition secured Lender will be required to pay
      to the Chapter 7 Trustee and professional persons more than
      the amount actually distributed to it by the Chapter
      Trustee from the proceeds of its collateral;

   d. that the net proceeds of avoidance actions are available
      for distribution free of liens by the Chapter 7 Trustee;

   e. that the prepetition senior secured lenders indemnify and
      hold the Chapter 7 Trustee and his professionals harmless
      from any liability or losses relating to the Chapter 7
      Trustee's service as Chapter 7 Trustee for the Debtors but
      for the Trustee's or his professional person's fraud, gross
      negligence or willful misconduct but not in an amount which
      exceeds the amount actually distributed to them by the
      Chapter 7 Trustee;

   f. that the Chapter 7 Trustee is authorized to use cash
      collateral in an amount not more than $9,000,000 in the
      aggregate to pay the ongoing non-professional Chapter 7
      expenses incurred not earlier than July 14, 2008 in
      administering the Debtors' Chapter 7 cases, subject to
      certain reporting requirements that the Trustee has
      undertaken to provide to Black Diamond;

   g. that the Chapter 7 Trustee will pay to Black Diamond an
      amount necessary to pay the DIP obligations from amounts
      received from the auctioneer and then, after reserving
      amounts consistent with the stipulated order, turn over the
      remaining amounts to Black Diamond to pay the DIP
      Obligations and to the prepetition secured lenders after in
      accordance with their intercreditor agreement; and

   h. as funds are turned over to the prepetition secured
      lenders, the first $343,000 they receive minus certain
      amounts will be distributed to Black Diamond, which will
      hold and utilize the funds to pay from their own collateral
      proceeds certain claims arising during the gap period as
      allowed pursuant to a claims process.

Black Diamond has agreed to the cash collateral use of up to
$343,000, to fund certain allowed administrative expenses
entitled to priority under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
arising in the gap period June 17, 2008, through July 14, 2008.

PERFORMANCE TRANS: Ch. 7 Trustee Wants Admin. Claims In by Sept.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mark S. Wallach, the trustee appointed under Performance
Transportation, Inc., et al.'s, Chapter 7 cases, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York to set
September 30, 2008, as the bar date for administrative
claims arising during the gap period starting June 17, 2008, and
ending July 14, 2008.

William J. Brown, Esq., at Phillips Lytle LLP, in Buffalo, New
York, relates that pursuant to a stipulation, Black Diamond
Commercial Finance, L.L.C., administrative agent of PTS II's
Lenders, has agreed to permit the use of the cash collateral to
fund certain allowed administrative expenses entitled to priority
under Section 503(b) of the Code arising in the Gap Period.  In
this regard, BDCF agreed to the use of up to $343,000 of cash
collateral, which was based upon information

The Trustee believes the $343,000 may not be sufficient to
satisfy all GAP Period claims.  Accordingly, a limited bar date
notice for claims arising in the Gap Period only is needed, Mr.
Brown relates.

Black Diamond has consented to the proposed September 30 bar
date.

Claims arising after the conversion take priority over claims
arising during the course of the Chapter 11 proceeding.  Claims
arising during the course of the Chapter 11 proceeding take
priority over prepetition claims arising between the date the
first plan was substantially consummated and the date the second  
Chapter 11 petition was filed.  Claims arising prior to
substantial consummation of the first Chapter 11 plan are treated
in accordance with the terms of the first chapter 11 plan.

PLASTECH ENGINEERED: Labor Dept. Aids Displaced Shreveport Workers
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Department of Labor, through its Trade Adjustment
Assistance Program, has granted a two-year scholarship and re-
employment assistance to 168 employees who were laid off from the
closure of Plastech Engineered Products, Inc.'s plant in
Shreveport, Louisiana, reports by KSLA.com and mLive.com
disclosed.

The TAA program aims to help trade-affected workers who have lost
their jobs as a result of increased imports or shifts in
production out of the United States, the U.S. Department of Labor
website said.  The case of the Shreveport employees qualified
under TAA, KSLA.com said.

The displaced employees can attend orientation session until
August 1, 2008, and may elect training programs free of cost,
Plastech's HR Manager Dino Frederick said.  The transition center
also offers computers, Internet access, and staff assistance to
the program beneficiaries in matters of job search and training
information, among other similar services.

PLASTECH ENGINEERED: Court Okays 503(b) Claims Resolution Process
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
approved Plastech Engineered Products Inc. and its debtor-
affiliates' proposed procedures for determining as to whether to
allow -- or disallow -- each administrative claim pursuant to
Section 503(b)(9) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

In their motion, the Debtors have noted that because of the
volume of 503(b)(9) Claims pending for review, they may be unable
to review all of those claims by the July 27 deadline.  The
Debtors added that they previously requested for an expedited
time-frame to adjudicate the 503(b)(9) Claims based on the
possibility that those claims may go unfunded.  They, however,
informed the Court that they have obtained, from the proceeds of
their assets sales, funding of $17,500,000 for allowed 503(b)(9)
Claims.

The Court, accordingly, gave the Debtors until Sept. 15, 2008, to
file omnibus objections to 503(b)(9) Claims that:

   (a) are duplicative;

   (b) are filed in the wrong Debtors' case;

   (c) are amended or superseded by other claims;

   (d) are filed after the bar date; or

   (f) do not otherwise comply with the information and
       documentation requirements.

The Debtors may file objections to 503(b)(9) Claims on
substantive grounds on or before the later of:

    (i) a day that is 60 days after the effective date of any
       confirmed plan of reorganization;

   (ii) a day that is 30 days after the entry of a final order
       overruling all or the last pending Omnibus Objection to
       the 503(b)(9) Claim; and

   (iii) other date as the Court may direct.

The Debtors' proposal to implement, and the terms of, the Claims
Reconciliation Procedures raised various concerns from certain
claimants, specifically:

     * Termax Corporation,

     * Harman Becker Automotive Systems, Inc., together with NB
       Coatings and Vivatar, Inc.,

     * KW Plastics, Recycling Division,

     * The Dow Chemical Company, and

     * Acord Holdings, LLC.

Termax argued the Procedures do not comply with Section
1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code because the Debtors do not seek
to resolve all objections to 503(b)(9) Claims prior to the
confirmation of a plan.  Dow Chemical and Acord Holding said that
the deadline to file substantive objections is tantamount to
denying the rights due to claimants.  Dow Chemical suggested that
a process should be set to allow claimants to participate, so
that a determination be completed before any plan is confirmed.

KW Plastics argued the Section 503(b)(9) claims filing deadline
should also be extended.  While the Debtors sought an extension
of their deadline to object to 503(b)(9) Claims, the May 30
deadline to file claims remained in place.  KW Plastics wasn't
able to file its administrative expense claim prior to the
deadline.

Harman, et al., noted that while outstanding 503(b)(9) Claims
have reached $29,000,000, the Debtors only allocated $17,500,000
to satisfy those claims.  They object to any proposal that would
limit the funds available for allowed 503(b)(9) Claims, and
sought clarification that the $17,500,00 reserve is not
equivalent of a cap on the amount distributable to 503(b)(9)
Claimants.

The Debtors relate that they have concurred with the dissenting
parties for the Court's entry of an order granting the Claims
Resolution Procedures.  The Court, accordingly, has approved the
Procedures.

PLASTECH ENGINEERED: Sued by Plastic Mold Over Unpaid Tooling
-------------------------------------------------------------
Plastic Mold Technology Inc. sued Plastech Engineered Products
Inc. and its debtor-affiliates, and General Motors Corporation in
order to enforce its lien on $270,000 worth of unpaid tooling PMT
manufactured for the Debtors' use in General Motors' GMT 265
Program.

Prior to the date of bankruptcy, the Debtors sent Purchase Order
No. T154364 for the design, fabrication and manufacture of front
and rear outer cladding tooling for General Motors' GMT 265.  PMT
says it did not receive any complaints for defects from either
the Debtors or General Motors after it shipped the tooling in
July 2007.  Upon information and belief, General Motors
controlled nearly every aspect of the Tooling production, and of
the use of the Tooling to manufacture plastic automobile parts.  
PMT expected General Motors to make "pass-through" payments to
the Debtors, being General Motors' agent.  However, neither the
Debtors nor General Motors has made full and final payment for
the tooling.

Under the Michigan Mold Lien Law, a moldbuilder who has not been
paid for a mold on which it has lien has the right, with proper
notice, to foreclose on the lien and sell the mold at public
auction to satisfy the debt.

PMT asserts it has complied with the MMLA by (i) permanently
affixed its company information on the Tooling, and (ii) filing a
Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement, thereby perfecting
its lien on the Tooling.  To this end, PMT seeks that the Court
enter an order declaring that PMT has valid, perfected, first
priority lien on the Tooling.

PMT says General Motors is liable to it for unjust enrichment and
breach of contract for continually using the Tooling without
paying for its cost.

PROXYMED INC: Court Approves Bid Procedures and Auction Timetable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
MedAvant Healthcare Solutions, the trade name of ProxyMed Inc.,
disclosed that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge presiding over its
chapter 11 case in Delaware approved the Debtor's proposed bid
procedures and timetable for the auction of the company's assets
on Sept. 8, 2008.  This is the second major court victory for the
company as it continues along its reorganization path while
continuing normal operations.

On July 24, the Court approved on an interim basis the company's
$2.9 million debtor-in-possession financing with its senior lender
Laurus Master Fund Ltd., to continue operations during chapter 11
in the ordinary course of business.

"Contrary to what some of our competitors are saying to our
customers, we are not 'bankrupt' and we are not going out of
business," Peter Fleming, MedAvant's interim chief executive
officer, said.  "The Court's ruling on our bid procedures and sale
timetable supports our strategy for the health and continuation of
the company for the long term.  We already have one purchaser
committed to acquiring the company and our employee base, and we
think it likely that any other bidders participating in the
auction would wish to do the same.  This is good news for our
employees, customers, partners, and vendors.  We greatly
appreciate their support and loyalty."

The company stated that it has a "stalking horse" purchaser in
Marlin Equity, and if there are no other bidders at the September
8 auction, the company will thereafter be sold to Marlin.  Under
the schedule approved by the Court, any bids from competing
bidders will have to be submitted first in writing on or before
Sept. 5, 2008.  The auction will then be conducted in Wilmington,
Delaware at the offices of the company's Delaware bankruptcy
counsel, Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, beginning at 9 a.m. on
Sept. 8, 2008.

The Court also approved the company's motions for the payment of
wages, the continuation of benefit and rebate programs, and the
payment of certain critical vendors to allow the company to
continue to provide uninterrupted service during the duration of
the chapter 11 case.  The company filed for chapter 11 protection
on July 23 in order to address its debt burdens through a sale and
restructuring process.

The company is represented in the bankruptcy case by Michael P.
Richman of Foley & Lardner LLP and Michael Nestor of Young,
Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor.

RADIOSHACK CORP: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Ratings on Adequate Liquidity
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed these ratings for RadioShack
Corporation:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'BB';
  -- Bank credit facility at 'BB';
  -- Senior unsecured notes at 'BB'.

The short-term IDR and commercial paper ratings have been
withdrawn as the commercial paper program has been terminated.  
The Rating Outlook is Negative.  RadioShack had $381.3 million in
debt outstanding at June 30, 2008.

The affirmation reflects RadioShack's broad geographic store base,
the recent improvement in the company's operating results and
credit metrics due to management's turnaround plan, and adequate
liquidity to meet its capital needs.  The ratings also consider
the continued soft operating trends in many of RadioShack's
business segments, Fitch's concern about RadioShack's long-term
ability to produce sustainable revenue growth and profitability,
and a highly competitive operating environment.

As of June 30, 2008, RadioShack operated 4,439 stores that are
conveniently located across the United States.  As a result of the
company's ongoing efforts to reduce costs and improve operational
efficiency, which included the closure of underperforming stores,
reduction in headquarters staffing, an updated inventory mix and
newly-remodeled stores, RadioShack's operating margins improved.  
EBIT margin increased to 8.9% in the last 12 months ending
June 30, 2008 from 4.2% in fiscal 2006.  This resulted in credit
metrics strengthening with LTM total adjusted debt/EBITDAR of 3.6
times versus 4.8x in 2006 and LTM EBITDAR to interest plus rent of
2.3x versus 1.8x during the comparable time period.

In addition, RadioShack's liquidity increased with cash of
approximately $578 million and availability of around $625 million
under its credit facilities as of June 30, 2008.  Fitch expects
RadioShack will remain prudent in its financial management and
cash usage, including the level of share repurchases.

Despite the improvement in profitability, the company's sales
performance remained weak in 2007 with same store sales declining
8.2%.  While RadioShack's same store sales trend turned positive
with the company reporting a 1.3% increase in the first half of
2008, the improvement was primarily driven by converter box sales
in the second quarter in anticipation of the digital transition
that will occur in February 2009.  Excluding converter box sales,
Fitch expects sustaining the positive top-line momentum could
remain challenging for RadioShack in the intermediate term as
sales in many of its business segments remain negative.  

For example, RadioShack's core wireless business, which accounts
for approximately one-third of its total revenues, continues to be
pressured by the declines in the Sprint wireless business.  Fitch
remains cautious about the company's long-term profitability given
expected soft revenue trends.

Of ongoing concern is the increasing competition in the consumer
electronics and wireless businesses from national big-box
retailers and discounters as well as wireless carriers and other
new wireless distribution channels.  These retailers offer a wide
selection of consumer electronics and wireless products and, as
they expand their store bases, are becoming increasingly
convenient to customers.


RAMP TRUSTS: Moody's Bares Underlying Ratings of FGIC-Backed Notes

for fees in connection with the case.  The pre-petition balance
has been satisfied by principals of the Debtors.  Any post-
petition fees and costs will be paid out of the $100,000 in funds

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: DBRS Keeps 'CCC' Rating with Negative Trend
----------------------------------------------------------------
DBRS commented on the second quarter 2008 results of Residential
Capital, LLC.  DBRSs CCC Issuer Rating for ResCap and Negative
trend remain unaffected.

This comment follows ResCaps earnings release, which indicates a
loss of $1.9 billion for the second quarter of 2008, representing
an approximate $1.0 billion increase from the previous quarter.  
Driving this quarters loss were increased loan provisioning,
realized losses on asset sales and an increase in reserves for
loan repurchases.

The ongoing weakness in the U.S. housing market and the difficult
operating environment continues to negatively impact ResCaps
performance.  Credit performance of the portfolio assets continued
to weaken, while house price declines increased loss severity,
driving higher loan loss provisions and other impairments.  During
the quarter, ResCap recorded $467 million in loan loss provisions
for its held for investment portfolio and $397 million of
impairment related to the value of its held for sale mortgage
portfolio.  The company was successful in selling non-conforming
assets, which generated substantial cash, however, resulted in
ResCap incurring approximately $1.0 billion of losses associated
with these sales.

DBRS recognizes that these transactions represent progress in
managements efforts to reduce the size of the company's balance
sheet.  Partially offsetting these aforementioned losses was a
gain of $647.0 million associated with the early retirement of
debt.  DBRS views this quarters loss as outsized, given the
company's reduced equity base and, in DBRSs opinion, the company
has limited ability to manage additional sizable losses.

While DBRS recognizes that the debt restructuring and the other
liquidity initiatives implemented during the quarter  combined
with support gained from GMAC and its shareholders have improved
ResCaps near-term liquidity profile, in DBRSs opinion the company
still faces very significant liquidity pressures.  Given the
current environment, DBRS views ResCaps ongoing business
fundamentals as weak, as ResCap continues to face pressures from
its legacy portfolios, the slowed U.S. housing market and the
difficult capital markets environment.

RURAL CELLULAR: Moody's Raises $60MM Debt Facility Ratings to Ba1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the senior note ratings of
Rural Cellular Corporation to A3 and the subordinated note ratings
of Rural to Baa1 in conjunction with the closing of Verizon
Wireless' acquisition of Rural.  The upgrades were based upon the
issuance of unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the notes
(on either a senior or a senior subordinated basis) by Verizon
Communications (rated A3 senior unsecured).  The senior guarantees
rank pari passu with all of Verizon's senior unsecured debt.
Verizon's long-term ratings remain under review for possible
downgrade because of VZW's proposed acquisition of Alltel
Corporation. Accordingly, Rural's guaranteed note ratings were
also placed on review for possible downgrade.

Moody's also upgraded Rural's corporate family and probability of
default ratings, and the ratings on its senior secured bank
facility and junior exchangeable preferred stock.  However, as
these securities were not guaranteed by Verizon or VZW, the rating
lift was limited to two notches based on Moody's published
methodology for rating non-guaranteed subsidiaries.  These rating
actions conclude the review for upgrade of Rural's debt commenced
on July 30, 2007.  Moody's also said it will withdraw Rural's
corporate family rating and the probability of default rating, and
the ratings on all of its non-guaranteed debt, which was repaid by
Verizon at closing.

Rating actions taken:

Issuer: Rural Cellular Corporation

  -- Corporate Family Rating, upgraded to B1 from B3, to be
     Withdrawn

  -- Probability of Default Rating, upgraded to B1 from B3, to be
     Withdrawn

  -- $510.0 Million 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2012, Upgraded
     to A3 from Ba3

  -- $325.0 Million 9.875% Senior Notes due 2010, Upgraded to A3   
     from B3

  -- $425.0 Million Senior Subordinated Floating Rate Notes due
     2013, Upgraded to Baa1 from Caa2

  -- $175.0 Million Senior Subordinated Floating Rate Notes due
     2012, Upgraded to Baa1 from Caa2

  -- $148.0 Million 12.25% Junior Exchangeable Preferred Stock due
     2011, upgraded to B3 from Caa2, to be Withdrawn

  -- $60.0 Million Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility due 2010,
     upgraded to Ba1 from Ba3, to be Withdrawn

Review actions taken:

Issuer: Rural Cellular Corporation

Ratings under Review for Possible Downgrade

Headquartered in New York City, Verizon Communications Inc. is the
second largest telecommunications provider in the United States
delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication
services to residential, business, government and wholesale
customers. Verizon Wireless, headquartered in Basking Ridge, NJ is
a joint venture between Verizon Communications, which owns 55%,
and Vodafone, which owns the remainder. Rural Cellular
Corporation, based in Alexandria, Minnesota, was acquired by
Verizon Wireless on Aug. 6, 2008.


RURAL CELLULAR: Fitch Lifts Junk Rtng to A+ on Closed Verizon Deal
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded and removed from Rating Watch Positive
the issuer default rating and long-term debt ratings of Rural
Cellular Corporation to recognize the guarantees executed by
Verizon Communications, Inc. following Verizon Wireless'
announcement that it had completed the acquisition of Rural on
Aug. 7, 2008:

  -- Long-Term IDR to 'A+' from 'CCC';
  -- $510 million secured notes (second lien) due 2012 to 'A+'
     from 'B-/RR2';

  -- $325 million senior unsecured notes due 2010 to 'A+' from
     'CCC-/RR5';

  -- $175 million senior subordinated notes due 2012 to 'A' from
     'CC/RR6';

  -- $425 million senior subordinated notes due 2013 to 'A' from      
     'CC/RR6'.

Rural's ratings had been placed on Rating Watch Positive on July
30, 2007.

To conform to the current rating status of Verizon, Rural's IDR
and security ratings have been placed on Rating Watch Negative.  
The long-term ratings of Verizon and its affiliates were placed on
Rating Watch Negative on June 5, 2008 due to Verizon Wireless'
proposed acquisition of Alltel Corporation for an aggregate
consideration of $28.1 billion.  The acquisition of Alltel
reflects equity consideration of $5.9 billion and Alltel's
$22.2 billion of net debt expected at the time of the
transaction's targeted completion at the end of 2008.  Fitch
believes, pending final review of the Alltel transaction, that a
downgrade, if necessary, would be limited to one notch.

The upgrade of Rural's IDR and debt ratings reflects Verizon's
full and unconditional guarantees executed on Rural's obligations
under the respective indentures of the guaranteed securities.  The
guarantees are irrevocable unless and until the securities are
otherwise redeemed, repaid, or defeased under the terms of the
guarantees.  The second-lien notes and the senior unsecured notes
are guaranteed by Verizon on a senior basis; the senior
subordinated notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis.

Fitch expects to withdraw the ratings on Rural approximately 30
days after Verizon Wireless closes on its acquisition of Rural, as
the debt is expected to be retired and no further public debt
issuances by Rural are expected.

Fitch is also withdrawing these ratings on Rural's bank credit
facility and preferred stock:

  -- $60 million first lien credit facility rated 'B/RR1';
  -- 12.25% junior exchangeable preferred stock rated 'C/RR6'.

At the close of the transaction, Verizon Wireless repaid the
credit facility - which had $58 million outstanding on June 30,
2008 - and called the preferred stock for redemption.


SHAPES/ARCH HOLDINGS: Emerges from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------
Shapes/Arch Holdings, LLC and its debtor-affiliates exited from
Chapter 11 protection.  An affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, a private
equity firm, now owns the company and had provided debtor-in
possession financing to the company since May 8, 2008.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 1, 2008,
H.I.G Capital's unit Arch Acquisition I, LLC, won the sale of the
equity of the reorganized Debtors.  The H.I.G. unit has closed the
$91,500,000 transaction, wherein the H.I.G unit paid $31,500,000
in cash and assumed the Debtors' $60,000,000 bank debt to CIT
Group Inc. and other lenders.  The Debtors assigned their aluminum
extruder and their steel, vinyl and aluminum-fabricating plants to
the H.I.G unit.

Wells Fargo Foothill, part of Wells Fargo & Company, provided at
least $65 million senior secured facility to the company.  

"[The company] debut[s] as a more efficient and fully
recapitalized company armed with a rekindled commitment to
servicing our customers with world class products and services,"
stated Steven S. Grabell, the company's chief executive officer.

"[The company] look[s] forward to our partnership with H.I.G. and
Signature with the financial support of Wells Fargo Foothill,"
Paul Sorensen, Jr, the company's chief financial officer added.

On July 24, 2008, the Hon. Gloria M. Burns of the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey confirmed the
Debtors' third amended joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization
dated May 23, 2008.

                        Third Amended Plan

On the effective date of the Third Amended Plan, Arch Acquisition
or its designee will either:

   (a) amend and restate the DIP Agreement; or

   (b) enter into a exit loan as part of its commitment to fund up
       to $91,500,000 for distributions under the Plan.

The principal amount of the Exit Facility outstanding on the
Effective Date will be approximately $26,700,000.

The Third Amended Plan classifies claims against and interests in
the Debtors in 12 classes.  The classification and treatment of
claims and interests are:

                 Treatment of Claims and Interest

                   Type of             Estimated       Estimated
  Class            Claim               Amount          Recovery

                   Shippers

  7                Collateralized      TBD                100%
                   Insurance Program
                   Claims

  8                Miscellaneous       $75,000            100%

                   Claims

  10               General Unsecured   $38,121,413        TBD
                   Claims

  11               Ben Interest        NA                 0%

  12               Class 12 Interest   NA                 100%

Classes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are impaired under the Plan and
the holders of claims in these classes are entitled to vote on the
Plan.

Any holder in Class 5 of a purchase money security interest in
equipment or a lessor of equipment who has not properly perfected
its interest under the Uniform Commercial Code will be treated as
a Class 10 unsecured creditor.  The Reorganized Debtors will have
the right to prepay the Class 5 Claims in whole or in part without
penalty.  If the Reorganized Debtors pre-pay, in part, they will
remain responsible for the balance of any Allowed Claim.

Holders of Class 6 Shippers and Warehousemen Claims may be paid in
full or in 24 equal monthly installments of principal, plus
interest at 6% per annum.

Allowed Secured Claims in Class 7 of those entities holding cash
deposits or letters of credit which are acting as collateral
security for the workers' compensation insurance policies of the
Debtors, will retain on account of the Allowed Secured Claim the
cash deposit or Letter of Credit.  However, the claimants are to
return to the Reorganized Debtors all collateral being held in
excess of the Allowed Secured Claims.

The Environmental Protection Agency will receive $300,000 and the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection will receive
$25,000 on account of their Class 9 Environmental Claims under the
Plan.  Funding for these distributions and other distributions to
holders of Environmental Claims will be made solely from proceeds
of applicable insurance policies.

The Debtors have noted that numerous claims have been filed
asserting Environmental Claims of several billion dollars.  The
Debtors believe those claims are grossly overstated and
objectionable.

Holders of Class 10 General Unsecured Claims will be paid through
the liquidation trust. The Reorganized Debtors will transfer
certain assets to the trust including avoidance actions and
certain other actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The
Troubled Company Reporter related May 15 that earlier Plan
versions provide for a 10% to 14% recovery to Class 10 claimants.

The Debtors believe class 10 claimants could get a 7% to 14%
recovery, given an expected $5,000,000 to be infused into the
trust.

SMITH FAMILY: Files for Chapter 7 Liquidation; Ends 10-Year Biz
---------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Family Homes in Tampa, Florida ended its decade-long family
partnership by filing for chapter 7 liquidation Friday, July 25,
2008, James Thorner of the St. Petersburg Times reports.  The
Times says that the Debtor intends to dispose of its assets over
the next few months.

Smith Family owes various suppliers, contractors, and creditors,
including SunTrust and Wachovia bank, the Times notes.  Some home
buyers received certified letters and lien notices from various
contractors, which are still owed by the Debtor, the Times
relates.

The Debtor was forced to keep house and lots valued less than what
it owed to the bank, the Times quotes Debtor counsel, Scott
Stichter, Esq., as saying.  Smith Family's efforts to obtain
additional capital through a last-minute deal fell apart, Mr.
Stichter said.

According to the report, the Debtor disclosed debts between
$10 million and $50 million.

Smith Family Homes joins in the list of failing home builders in
Tampa.  Local building industrial consultant, Marvin Rose,
commented that Smith Family earned a reputation through its
projects such as Seven Oaks, Connerton, Wilderness Lakes Preserve
and Panther Trace.  The Debtor priced some of its homes in excess
of $500,000, the Times says.

Smith Family Homes president, Ron Smith, began as an executive
with national builder of M/I Homes.  He operated independently in
1998.


SMITH FAMILY: Regions Bank and BofA Want to Foreclose on Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
Regions Bank and Bank of America Corp. filed separate petitions
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida
in Tampa asking to lift the automatic stay so they can each pursue
foreclosure actions against the assets of Smith Family Homes
Corp., Kevin Fung writes for The Deal.

Regions Bank, through its August 1 motion, told the Court that it
is owed more than $7 million, according to The Deal.  BofA, in its
July 30 motion, said that it sued the Debtor before it filed for
bankruptcy.  BofA is owed $7.3 million secured by the Debtor's
assets in Florida, The Deal relates.

The Court is set to hear Region Bank's request on Aug. 12, 2008,
and BofA's request on Aug. 19, 2008, The Deal says.

Smith Family Homes president, Ron Smith, began as an executive

SOVEREIGN COMMERCIAL: Fitch Holds Ratings on Stable Performance
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Sovereign Commercial Mortgage
Securities Trust's commercial mortgage pass-through certificates,
series 2007-C1, as:

  -- $22.2 million class A-1 at 'AAA';
  -- $501.3 million class A-1A at 'AAA';
  -- $231.5 million class A-2 at 'AAA';
  -- $105.2 million class AJ at 'AAA';
  -- Interest-only class X at 'AAA';
  -- $15.2 million class B at 'AA';
  -- $17.7 million class C at 'A';
  -- $20.3 million class D at 'BBB+';
  -- $10.1 million class E at 'BBB';
  -- $7.6 million class F at 'BBB-';
  -- $2.5 million class G at 'BB+';
  -- $2.5 million class H at 'BB';
  -- $3.8 million class J at 'BB-';
  -- $2.5 million class K at 'B+';
  -- $3.8 million class L at 'B';
  -- $2.5 million class M at 'B-'.

Fitch does not rate the $8.9 million class N certificates.

The affirmations reflect stable performance since issuance.  As of
the July 2008 distribution date, the pool's aggregate certificate
balance has decreased 5.5% to $957.8 million from $1.014 billion
at issuance.

Fitch has identified 18 Loans of Concern (5.2%), including two
assets in special servicing (0.47%).  The largest specially
serviced asset (0.34%) is a multifamily property in Fort Myers,
Florida.  The special servicer is pursuing foreclosure.  The
second specially serviced asset (0.13%) is a multifamily property
located in Waterbury, Connecticut.  Fitch expects losses on the
specially serviced assets to be absorbed by the non-rated class N.

The largest loan (3.9%) is secured by a portfolio of 34 multi-
family and mixed-use properties located throughout New Jersey.
Reported occupancy was 92% for the portfolio as of year-end 2007.


SPECTRUM BRANDS: Posts $283.9MM Net Loss in Quarter Ended June 29
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Spectrum Brands Inc. disclosed Thursday its financial results for
its third fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2008.

The company reported a net loss of $283.9 million for the fiscal
2008 third quarter, compared with a net loss of $7.5 million in
the same period of fiscal 2007.  

Results for the fiscal 2008 third quarter include:

  -- Goodwill and trade names impairment charges of
     $253.7 million, primarily related to the company's Home &   
     Garden and Global Pet Supply businesses;

  -- Adjustments to income tax expense of $19.1 million to exclude
     the effect of the impact of the valuation allowance against
     deferred taxes and other tax related items;

  -- Restructuring and related charges of $14.3 million, primarily
     associated with the company's strategy to exit Ningbo
     Baowang, a battery manufacturing facility in China, and
     company-wide cost reduction initiatives;

  -- Professional fees of $2.9 millionincurred in connection with
     the proposed sale of the company's Global Pet Supplies
     business;

  -- other items netting to a benefit of $2.8 million

With strong top-line growth in all three business segments, the
company's third quarter net sales of $729.6 million represented a
10.5 percent increase over the prior year, after excluding the
Canadian division of the Home & Garden Business, which the company
sold in November 2007.  Favorable foreign currency exchanges
contributed $29.6 million.

"I'm pleased with our strong sales growth for the quarter, which I
believe reflects the strength of our new product offerings and
marketing programs as well as a consumer shift towards value
brands during this tough economic time," said Kent Hussey, chief
executive officer of Spectrum Brands.

The company saw strong adjusted EBITDA growth, a non-GAAP
measurement which the company believes is a useful indicator of
the operating health of the business and its trajectory, in both
its Global Batteries & Personal Care and its Global Pet Supplies
segments.  These results were offset, however, by significant raw
material input cost pressures in the company's Home & Garden
Business segment.  Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $81.2 million
as compared with $87.7 million in the third quarter of the prior
year, a 7.4 percent decline driven by the unprecedented cost
increases in the company's fertilizer operations within its Home &
Garden Business segment.

Gross profit and gross margin for the quarter were $261.4 million
and 35.8 percent, respectively, versus $253.9 million and 38.5
percent for the same period last year.  Within cost of sales, the
company incurred restructuring and related charges of
approximately $13.9 million, negatively impacting this quarter's
margin by 190 basis points, primarily related to the company's
strategy to exit the Ningbo battery manufacturing facility in
China.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, cost of sales
included $4.1 million of restructuring and related charges.  The
remainder of the variance was primarily driven by extremely
volatile commodity costs.

The company generated a third quarter operating loss from
continuing operations of $259.8 million versus operating income of
$45.6 million in the same period last year.  The primary reasons
for the decline were $303.3 million in goodwill and trade names
impairments.

Interest expense was $57.1 million compared to $59.4 million in
the same period last year.

Proceeds from the IPO are expected to be used to redeem common
stock from selling shareholders (of which the company will get no
proceeds), repay outstanding bank debt, and for general corporate
purposes. However, the amount of debt reduction has yet to be
determined. The company had about $260 million of outstanding debt
on March 31, 2008.

STR is currently enjoying strong cash flow generation amid robust
demand in both its solar business and quality assurance services.
The rating and outlook incorporate our expectations that the
current healthy industry fundamentals will continue during the
intermediate term.

STEVE & BARRY'S: Court OK's Payment to Athlete Venus Williams
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to Reuters, the Honorable Allan L. Gropper of the United
States of Southern District of New York has allowed the payment of
$250,000 owed by Steve & Barry's, LLC, and its debtor-
affiliates to athlete Venus Williams under her license agreement
with the Debtors, because Ms. Williams will be wearing Steve &
Barry's apparel while competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The Court decided that royalty payments to athletes Laird Hamilton
and Ben Wallace will have to wait until after the August 18, 2008
auction of the Debtors' assets, since "the need to pay them wasn't
immediate," TheDeal.com reported.

According to the terms of the license agreements with the
celebrities, Ms. Williams and Messrs. Hamilton and Wallace are
entitled to certain royalty payments.  These royalty payments have
accrued and are or will be due to be paid:

     Celebrity         Royalty Amount Due   Payment Due
     ---------         ------------------   -----------
     Laird Hamilton              $300,000      07/01/08
     Ben Wallace                   75,000      07/30/08
     Venus Williams               250,000      07/30/08

Judge Gropper told the athletes to "show that Steve & Barry's
would benefit from something other than 'amorphous good will' by
paying [them] now," Reuters reported.

                          PrenSB Objects

PrenSB, LLC, tried to block the Debtors' request to pay royalties.  
PrenSB and the Debtors are parties to a term loan credit
agreement, dated February 1, 2008, as modified by a Forbearance
Agreement, dated June 20, 2008.  As of July 9, 2008, the
outstanding principal amount owed by the Debtors was $30,000,000,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest, any fees, expenses, and
disbursements, indemnification obligations and other charges.

PrenSB said that all amounts due to it under the loan
arrangement is secured by a lien against substantially all assets
of the Debtors.

The Debtors have not identified any concrete benefit to their
bankruptcy estates that would warrant an immediate payment of
$625,000 to three prepetition unsecured creditors -- celebrity
licensors Laird Hamilton, Ben Wallace, and Venus Williams,
Jeffrey D. Ganz, Esq., at Riemer & Braunstein LLP, in Boston,
Massachusetts, said.

Nor have the Debtors demonstrated that the sale process they are
undertaking would be impaired in any way by the failure to make
the royalty payments, he added.

The request for payment does not assert that any of the
Celebrities have indicated a present intent to breach the
Agreements if the prepetition royalty payments are not made, nor
does the Motion suggest that the Agreements would not be assumed
by the Debtors in any event, thus requiring a cure of any
deficiency, Mr. Ganz pointed out.

To the extent that courts have allowed prepetition unsecured
obligations, these were allowed upon a more developed evidentiary
record, or under very distinguishable facts, he asserted.  In the
present case, Mr. Ganz continued, the Debtors' Motion does not
flow from concrete and ascertainable inventory and cash flow
issues, but rather from vague statements concerning the Debtors'
relationships with the Celebrities.

For these reasons, the Motion should be denied or, at the very
least, a decision should be postponed until the results of the
Debtors' efforts to sell their business as a going concern become
apparent, Mr. Ganz told the Court.

STOLLE MACHINERY: Moody's Places Corporate Family Rating at B2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 corporate family rating
and B2 probability of default rating for Stolle Machinery Company
LLC.  Simultaneously, Moody's also assigned B1 (LGD 3, 37%)
ratings to the company's $299 million senior secured first lien
credit facilities.  The rating outlook is negative.  The ratings
are being assigned in conjunction with the acquisition of Stolle
by investments funds managed by GSO Capital Partners LP and its
affiliates from Littlejohn Fund III LP.  The previous ratings on
Stolle will be withdrawn.

The negative outlook reflects the significant increase in leverage
pro-forma for the transaction.  While Moody's recognizes the
company's leadership position in a niche industry along with its
continued robust EBITDA margins, the transaction results in a much
more highly leveraged profile with diminished free cash flow
relative to debt.  As a result of GSO's acquisition, total
adjusted debt will increase meaningfully.  Despite GSO's
significant equity contribution, Moody's estimates that adjusted
leverage, as measured by Debt/EBITDA, will rise to well over 6x.
This is elevated for the B2 rating, and the negative outlook
signals that the absence of material free cash flow applied to
debt reduction could pressure the ratings.

The B2 CFR reflects Stolle's small revenue size, high customer
concentration, and a competitive landscape that includes one of
Stolle's largest customers.  The rating also considers the
company's good liquidity, sufficient EBITDA levels that are
expected to cover interest expense, strong end markets for can
beverages, and growing proportion of revenue derived from the
aftermarket sales and service segment.  Moreover, Moody's notes
that Stolle's underlying business performance has improved
significantly since Moody's initial rating in September 2006, and,
as the largest player in the can equipment market, the company is
likely poised to benefit from growth in emerging markets.

Acquisition consideration will include $269 million from a first
lien term loan, a subordinated mezzanine term loan (not rated by
Moody's), with the remainder funded from a mixture of preferred
and common equity provided by the equity sponsor and existing
management.  A new $30 million revolving credit facility is
expected to be undrawn at closing.

Stolle Machinery Company LLC, headquartered in Centennial,
Colorado, is the leading provider of capital equipment, spare
parts, tooling and dies, and services to the beverage and food can
industries.  Stolle sells its machinery and services on a global
basis.  Stolle is majority-owned by investment funds managed by
GSO Capital Partners LP (GSO) and its affiliates.


STURGIS IRON: Committee Wants to File OWN Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors asks the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan for
permission to file a competing Chapter 11 liquidation plan, Erik
Larson of Bloomberg News reports.

The Committee also asks the Court to reduce Sturgis Iron's
exclusive period to solicit acceptances of a chapter 11 plan.  The
Court will convene a hearing August 14, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. to
consider that request.

The Committee told the Court that they should get a chance to
increase payments on claims that are not secured by any
collateral, the report says.  The Debtor's plan dated July 31,
2008, will pay $3.7 million to unsecured creditors holding $37.1
million in claims, the report notes.

On the other hand, the plan will pay $65.3 million in cash to
creditor holding $96.3 million in claims, with secured claims paid
in full.  National City Business Credit holds a $56.3 million
secured claims, while the Debtor's servicing trustee, Fifth Third
Leasing Co., holding a $3 million secured claim, the report says.

Unpaid administrative claims total $3.32 million, the report
notes.

The Committee say in court documents that there is clearly
insufficient assets to pay all unsecured claims in full, it is
indisputable that the unsecured creditors are the only party with
an interest in the liquidation of the estate's remaining assets.

The Committee argued that reducing the claims of the secured
creditors is possible under a competing plan, Bloomberg reports.

SYNTAX-BRILLIAN: Balks at Proposal to Appoint Chapter 11 Examiner
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax-Brillian Corporation and its debtor-affiliates oppose the
United States Trustee's request to appoint a Chapter 11 examiner
in their bankruptcy cases, arguing that the appointment will only
interfere with the Debtors' liquidation process.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 1, 2008,
Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, asked the
Hon. Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware to appoint a Chapter 11 examiner to  
investigate:

   a) the facts and circumstances surrounding the sudden decline
      in the Debtors' assets;

   b) the bona fides and necessity of the proposed sale of the
      substantially all of the Debtors' assets to TCV;

   c) the relationships among and between the Debtors, TCV Group,
      Kolin, DigiMedia Technology Co., Ltd., including former and
      present principals, officers and directors; and

   d) the ability and inclination of the Debtor's current
      management to probe and pursue potential claims and causes
      of action against the Debtors' former officers including
      directors who selected the Debtor's current chief executive
      officer and chief financial officer.

The U.S. Trustee argued that the appointment is appropriate on
grounds that the Debtors' fixed, liquidated, unsecured debts,
services, and taxes have exceeded $5 million.  The appointment of
a Chapter 11 examiner is in the best interest of creditors, equity
holders and other interest of the Debtors' estates, the U.S.
trustee contended.

However, the Debtors insisted that the appointment of a Chapter 11
examiner will "do nothing to rectify the damage" brought about by
the Debtors' decline in value.

The Debtors related that they are at a critical juncture and are
focusing their efforts on completing the proposed sale process and
ultimately, the confirmation of a plan of liquidation and
subsequent wind-down of their estates for the benefit of all
creditors.  They believe such an appointment risks further damage
to the enterprise, and will also detrimentally impact the Debtors'
businesses.

In addition, the Debtors argued that the Chapter 11 examiner is
also wholly unnecessary in these cases, since they are already
conducting an on-going investigation in cooperation with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Thus, they contend, the
examiner would simply duplicate efforts already being undertaken
by the Debtors.

TERWIN MORTGAGE: S&P Lowers Class M-2 Securities' Rating to 'D'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on the class
M-2 asset-backed securities issued by Terwin Mortgage Trust 2007-
3SL to 'D' from 'CC'.

The downgrade reflects the erosion of credit support for the M-2
class as of the July 25, 2008, distribution, as the collateral,
S&P believes, continues to incur significant monthly net losses.
During the July 2008 distribution period, the transaction realized
a net loss of $9,631,406.

As of the July 25 distribution, cumulative realized losses were
22.15% of the original pool balance, while total delinquencies
were 19.85% of the current pool balance. In S&P's opinion, as a
result of poor collateral performance and escalating
delinquencies, monthly net losses have outpaced monthly excess
interest in 11 out of the last 12 remittance periods. Moreover,
losses have averaged approximately 6.53x monthly excess interest
over the past year.

The transaction is 15 months seasoned and has a pool factor of
65.95%. The transaction had an original pool balance of $400.0
million.

The rating on the M-2 class was originally 'AA-'. S&P first
lowered this rating to 'BB-' on Oct. 17, 2007, and this action was
followed by a downgrade to 'BB-/Watch Neg' on March 26, 2008.
Subsequently, S&P lowered the rating to 'CC' on April 24, 2008.
All of the subordinate classes have already defaulted.

The collateral originally consisted of closed-end, fixed-rate
subprime mortgage loans secured by second liens on residential
real properties. Additionally, the class A-1 notes have a
financial guarantee insurance policy issued by CIFG Assurance
North America Inc.

As of the cutoff date, the original combined loan-to-value (CLTV)
ratio was 92.66%, on average, with a weighted average credit score
of 684. In addition, 44.41% of the mortgage loans were originated
in California.

TEXAS INDUSTRIES: Mulls Offering $250 Million of 7-1/4% Sr. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Texas Industries Inc. plans to offer $250 million principal amount
of senior notes through an add-on to its 7-1/4% Senior Notes due
2013.  The offering of the Senior Notes, which is subject to
market availability well as other conditions, will be made only to
qualified institutional buyers and outside the United States in
compliance with Regulation S.

TXI intends to use the net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering
to repay its $150 million senior term loan and for general
corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas Industries Inc. (NYSE: TXI) --
http://www.txi.com/-- is the largest producer of cement in Texas   
and a major cement producer in California.  TXI is also a major
supplier of construction aggregates, ready-mix concrete and
concrete products.
  

TEXAS INDUSTRIES: Moody's Assigns Ba3 Rating on $250MM Sr. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to Texas
Industries' $250 million of senior unsecured notes issuance.  The
note offering may be upsized to $300 million.  At the same time
Moody's affirmed the company's Ba3 corporate family rating and
Ba3 ratings for existing senior unsecured notes and revolving
credit facility.  The outlook remains negative.

The new notes are being issued under the same indenture as Texas
Industries' existing $250 million senior unsecured notes, having
the same maturity (2013) and financial covenants.  The proceeds
from the notes issuance will be used to repay the company's
$150 million term loan outstanding well as for capital
expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.

Texas Industries' Ba3 corporate family rating is supported by the
company's favorable position in the two principal cement markets
in the U.S., Texas and California, improving operating
efficiencies and capacity additions resulting from expansion and
modernization of cement plants in California (Oro Grande) and
Texas (Hunter), high barriers to entry, and acceptable debt level
for the rating category.

The negative outlook results from the continued downturn in the
residential construction market, softening in the non-residential
and infrastructure end markets and the significant negative effect
it has on the volumes and earnings generation of the company.  
High energy and other input costs also weigh on the outlook.

Texas Industries Inc, headquartered in Dallas, Texas manufactures
cement, aggregates and ready-mixed concrete.  The company serves
end-use markets such as public works, commercial, industrial,
institutional and residential construction sectors, and energy
markets, while generating approximately 80% of revenues in Texas
and 20% in California. In its fiscal year 2008, ending May 31,
Texas Industries generated over $1.0 billion in revenues.


THOMAS SETSER: Files for Bankruptcy Under Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------
Melanie Cleveland of SanLuisObispo.com reports that Thomas Everett
Setser and his wife, Kristie K. Setser, filed for bankruptcy under
Chapter 7.

According to SanLuisObispo.com, the Setsers owe at least
$1 million in mortgages for their 4,000-square-foot salon building
located in 1119 Chorro Street.  San Luis Capital asserts $732,000
in claims as a first mortgage on that property while lender Mid-
Coast Mortgage asserts about $333,000 in claims as a second
mortgage on the same property, the report says.

"I hate to lose the building," SanLuisObispo.com quoted Mr. Setser
as saying.  "Especially since it's a prime piece of downtown real
estate."

Lender's broker Vincent Crooks told SanLuisObispo.com that he
intends to acquire the Setser's assets, the report says.

The Setsers' property was surrendered to their lender-
beneficiaries when they failed to attract bidders on the
foreclosed property, a person with knowledge of the matter said.

Thomas Everett Setser and Kristie K. Setser own Thomas Everett
Salon and Tom-Mel Beauty Center in downtown San Luis Obispo, the
report says.  Several employees at Tom-Mel lost their jobs due to
the filing, the report notes.


THORNBURG MORTGAGE: Preferred Shares Offer to Impact S&P Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's said that the completion of Thornburg Mortgage
Inc.'s tender offer for its preferred shares will have an impact
on the rating once complete. Thornburg has offered its preferred
shareholders $5.00 in cash and 3.5 shares of common stock for
every share of preferred stock in an effort to tender 66.67% of
each class of outstanding preferred stock. If Thornburg is
successful in the tender offer, S&P would view this as a positive
sign.

Nevertheless, Thornburg would continue to face difficult
challenges to its business, given the deteriorating state of the
housing market and the declining economy in general.  S&P believes
that if the tender offer is not successful, then funding costs
will be too high to be supported by the business model's
fundamentals.

Either way, S&P believes Thornburg will find it difficult to raise
preferred or common equity capital in the future, which is
significant given Thornburg's REIT status and its reliance on the
issuance of new capital to grow its business. The tender offer is
part of an agreement that will allow the company to reduce funding
costs on its newly issued senior subordinated secured notes, as
well as eliminate its new lender's participation agreement.  The
deadline for the preferred stock tender is Sept. 29, 2008.


TLC VISION: Revenue Decline Cues S&P to Cut Rating to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Mississauga, Canada-based TLC Vision Corp. (TLCV) to
'B-' from 'B'; the outlook remains negative. In addition, S&P
lowered the rating of TLC Vision (USA) Corp.'s senior secured debt
to 'B-' from 'B'; the recovery rating remains a '3'.  This action
reflects the effects of a steep decline in LASIK revenues
resulting from a weak U.S. economy and attendant tightening of
discretionary consumer spending, which could magnify the challenge
of meeting amended bank loan covenants.

"Our rating on TLCV, the parent of TLC Vision (USA) Corp.,
reflects the company's concentration in laser vision correction
and lack of geographic diversity; revenues are derived primarily
in the U.S.," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cheryl Richer.
These risks are only partly offset by diversity in its other eye
care services that are covered by medical insurance.

As a corporate provider, TLCV competes with private-practice
ophthalmologists and hospitals, which together perform about 60%
of U.S. refractive surgery procedures. Refractive surgery is used
for less than 4% of vision correction, as consumers have less
invasive and less expensive options for vision correction, such as
eyeglasses and contact lenses. Also, given that this procedure is
discretionary and not typically reimbursed by health insurance,
revenues are negatively affected by the weak U.S. economy; S&P
expects demand for LASIK procedures to decline by 30%-40% in 2008.
TLC's growth has performed better than the market as a result of
its increasing market share, taken largely from private surgeons.  


TRINITY HOSPITAL: To File for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------
Trinity Hospital administrator, Yvette Gillespie, says that the
company is planning to file for bankruptcy protection under the
United States Bankruptcy Code before the United States District
Court in Nashville, Stewart Houston Times' editor Sharon Knight
reports.

According to Ms. Knight, Trinity Hospital is facing huge debt, and
all of its assets have been used to collateralize other company's
endeavors.

The filing is expected to pave way for a sale of the company's
facility, on an expedited basis, to Mississippi-based Rural
Healthcare Developers, the report says.  Early this year, Rural
Healthcare expressed its willingness to buy the company, the
report adds.

"The bankruptcy filing is key to the forward progress of the
hospital sale," according to a person with knowledge of the
matter.  "It will help Rural Healthcare Developers from being
hindered by the old hospital debt."

The company assures its employees that they will not be affected
by the filing, the report notes.

The closing of the sale, the report says, will be completed by
mid-October 2008.

Headquartered in Erin, Tennessee, Trinity Hospital --
http://www.trinityhospitaltn.com/-- offers healthcare services.   
In January 2000, the company was acquired by Associated Healthcare
Systems Inc. who filed for bankruptcy the following year and sold
all its assets.


TVT RECORDS: Inks Agreement to Release Hip-Hop Artist Lil Jon
-------------------------------------------------------------
TEEVEE Toons Inc. dba T.V.T. Records has reached an agreement with
hip-hop artist Lil Jon that releases him from his TVT obligations
as he enters into a new venture with The Orchard, which recently
completed the acquisition of substantially all of the Debtor's
assets, Nekesa Mumbi Moody of the Associated Press reports.

Lil Jon has withdrawn his objections to the Debtor's sale to
Orchard, as part of the deal, the AP says.  Lil Jon is now free
from any contractual obligations to the Debtor, the report notes.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 8, 2008, the
Debtor sold all its assets -- including catalog, artists and
physical distribution business -- to The Orchard for $5 million.  
However, the transaction excludes holdings in the Debtor's music
publishing subsidiary.

UNI-MARTS LLC: To Auction Stores, Inventories on August 14
----------------------------------------------------------
Uni-Marts LLC will sell substantially all of its assets, subject
to bigger offers on Aug. 14, 2008.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 15, 2008, the
Hon. Mary J. Walrath of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware approved proposed bidding procedures for the
sale of substantially all of the assets of Uni-Marts LLC and its
debtor-affiliates.

A hearing is set for Aug. 18, 2008, at 10:30 a.m., prevailing
Eastern time, to consider final approval of the Debtor's sale
request.

The deal indicates that the transaction includes several pieces of
Uni-Marts' business, from stores to fuel inventory, store supplies
and vehicles.  The deal notes that the calculation of the actual
price depends on several variables, such as the value of the
several inventories at the time of the closing, and whether or not
Atlantis Petroleum LLC is outbid for certain pieces.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 17, 2008, the
Debtors entered into an asset purchase agreement with Atlantis
Petroleum, the designated "stalking-horse" bidder.  Atlantis
Petroleum will pay $17.7 million in the aggregate for the Debtors'
convenience stores located in Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio,
pursuant to the agreement, which entitles Atlantis Petroleum to a
credit equal to $400,000 for the purpose of reimbursing it for
risks related to any potential violation of environmental laws and
remediation costs at the Debtors' assets.

The Deal, citing filings, relates that Uni-Marts will take bids
for each piece separately and the whole business together, for
example, bids for the entire business would start $725,000 over
the total Atlantis Petroleum offer; if someone bids just for the
Pennsylvania and New York stores, the bid must be a minimum of
$6.95 million.  Bidding for just the Ohio stores would start at
$8.725 million.  Potential buyers will also be able to bid on
individual stores.

The Debtors, according to the reports, say that if no rival bids
are offered, Uni-Marts will cancel the auction and ask the Court  
to approve the Atlantis transaction.

UTAH 7000: Has Until Oct. 31 to Exclusively File Chapter 11 Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------

the District of Utah extended, until Oct. 31, 2008, the exclusive
period wherein Utah 7000 LLC can file a Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization.

In documents submitted to the Court, the Debtor said that for the
first few months, it was overwhelmed with issues relating to post-
petition financing, yet it clarified that it was "ready to embark
on the critical development and confirmation process".

Based in Park City, Utah, Utah 7000 LLC fka Pivotal Promontory LLC

Unsecured Creditors in the cases.  J. Thomas Beckett, Esq., at
Parsons Behle & Latimer, represents the Committee.

According to Bloomberg, Judge Judith A. Boulden estimated the
value of Utah 7000's property at $560.1 million.  The Debtor owes
about $431.5 million to several secured creditors.


VERASUN ENERGY: S&P Affirms 'B+' Credit Rating, Off Watch
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the 'B+' corporate
credit rating on VeraSun Energy Corporation and removed the rating
from CreditWatch with negative implications. The outlook is
negative.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's revised the recovery rating on
VeraSun's $210 million in senior secured notes to '4' from '3',
indicating an expectation for average (30%-50%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.

The rating was initially placed on CreditWatch due to liquidity
concerns caused by narrowing crush spreads which had resulted in
the delay of opening three (now two) newly completed facilities.
In S&P's view, VeraSun's enhanced liquidity through the $125
million revolving facility, in combination with improved crush
spreads, has reduced the risk of short-term pressure on the
corporate credit rating while intermediate-term (12-18 months)
concerns over liquidity and profitability remain.

"The negative outlook reflects VeraSun's high breakeven crush
spread that results from no cash distributions from acquired
plants or benefit of plants sitting idle. In the short term, we
will look for the company to retain two to three quarters of
liquidity and for market conditions to recover sufficiently to
bring the two idle plants online. If the plants remain off-line
over the next two to three quarters or liquidity is reduced (based
on crush spreads or working capital), we will likely downgrade the
company," S&P says.

WACHOVIA BANK: S&P Affirms BB, B Ratings on 6 Securities Classes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its ratings on four
classes of commercial mortgage pass-through certificates from
Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust's series 2005-C19.  
Concurrently, S&P affirmed its ratings on the remaining 22 classes
from this series.

The raised and affirmed ratings reflect credit enhancement levels
that provide adequate support through various stress scenarios.

As of the July 17, 2008, remittance report, the collateral pool
consisted of 92 loans with an aggregate trust balance of $1.592
billion, down from $1.614 billion at issuance. The master
servicer, Wachovia Bank N.A., reported financial information for
98% of the pool. Eighty-four percent of the servicer-provided
information was full-year 2007 data. Standard & Poor's calculated
a weighted average debt service coverage (DSC) of 1.81x for the
pool, up from 1.66x at issuance. None of the loans in the pool are
currently with the special servicer or delinquent, and the trust
has experienced no losses to date.

The top 10 loans have an aggregate outstanding balance of $772.7
million (48.5%) and a weighted average DSC of 1.86x, up from 1.82x
at issuance. Standard & Poor's reviewed property inspections
provided by the master servicer for all of the assets underlying
the top 10 exposures. All of the properties were characterized as
"good."

The credit characteristics of the AmericasMart, the U.S. Bancorp,
the Centennial Tower, and the Courtyard Marriott – Miami Beach
loans are consistent with those of investment-grade obligations.
Details of these loans are:

     -- The AmericasMart is the largest loan in the pool and has a
trust balance of $196.7 million (12%) and a whole-loan balance of
$393.3 million. The whole loan consists of two pari passu notes: a
$196.7 million A-1 note serves as trust collateral and a $196.7
million A-2 note supports the pooled certificates of the Wachovia
Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust's series 2005-C20 transaction. The
whole loan is secured by the fee and leasehold interests in a
wholesale market center totaling 4.1 million sq. ft., including
900,000 sq. ft. of temporary space, located in the central
business district of Atlanta, Ga. The servicer reported a DSC of
2.40x for the 12-month period through August 2007, up from 2.28x
at issuance. As of July 2008, the property's occupancy was 94%.
Standard & Poor's adjusted net cash flow (NCF) for this loan is
comparable to its level at issuance.

     -- The U.S. Bancorp loan is the third-largest loan in the
pool and has a balance of $105.0 million (7%). The loan is secured
by the fee interest in a 30-story class A office building totaling
929,694 sq. ft. in downtown Minneapolis, Minn. For the year-ended
Dec. 31, 2007, the DSC for this loan was 2.53x, and the occupancy
was 96%. Standard & Poor's adjusted NCF for this loan is
comparable to its level at issuance.

     -- The Centennial Tower loan is the ninth-largest loan in the
pool and has a trust balance of $43.3 million and a whole-loan
balance of $64.5 million (3%). The whole-loan consists of a senior
A note of $43.3 million that serves as collateral for the trust
and a subordinate $21.2 million B participation that is held in
Concord Real Estate CDO 2006-1 Ltd. The loan is secured by the fee
interest in a 638,363-sq.-ft. office building in Atlanta. For the
year-ended Dec. 31, 2007, the DSC for this loan was 1.72x, and the
occupancy was 85%. Standard & Poor's value for this loan is
comparable to its level at issuance.

     -- The Courtyard Marriott - Miami Beach, Fla., loan is the
18th-largest exposure in the pool and has a trust balance of $22.3
million and a whole-loan balance of $32.3 million (1%). The whole-
loan consists of a senior participation of $22.3 million that
serves as collateral for the trust and a subordinate $10.0 million
B participation that is held in Carbon Capital II Real Estate CDO
5005-1 Ltd. The loan is secured by the fee interest in a 262-room
hotel located in Miami. For the year-ended Dec. 31, 2007, the DSC
for this loan was 2.69x, and the average daily rate was $172.70,
compared with $126.89 at issuance. Standard & Poor's value for
this loan is comparable to its level at issuance.

Wachovia reported a watchlist of nine loans ($152.8 million, 10%).
The watchlist includes three loans ($17.3 million, 1%) with DSCs
below 1.0x. The loans are secured by multifamily properties.
Details of the two largest loans on the watchlist are:

     -- The 50 West 23rd Street loan ($75.0 million, 5%) is the
largest loan on the watchlist and the fourth-largest loan in the
pool. The loan is secured by a 333,959-sq.-ft. office property in
New York, N.Y. The loan appears on the watchlist because the
property reported a DSC of 1.07x at year-end 2007. The decline is
due to an increase in vacancy followed by rent concessions given
to new tenants. Standard & Poor's expects the NCF available for
debt service payments to increase this year as the rent
concessions expire, at which time the loan will be removed from
the watchlist.

     -- The Point Loma Plaza loan ($31.9 million, 2%) is the
second-largest loan on the watchlist and the 14th largest loan in
the pool. The loan appears on the watchlist because of the pending
lease expiration of the largest tenant, Vons, which occupies 23%
of the net rentable area. The lease has been extended to Dec. 31,
2013, and the loan will be removed from the watchlist next month.

The remaining loans are on the watchlist primarily because of low
occupancy or a decline in DSC since issuance. Standard & Poor's
stressed the loans on the watchlist and the other loans with
credit issues as part of its analysis. The resultant credit
enhancement levels support the raised and affirmed ratings.

WESTERN REFINING: Moody's Downgrades Term Loan Debt Rating to B3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Western Refining Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B1; Probability of Default
Rating to B3 from B1; and senior secured amended Term Loan B
rating to B3 (LGD 3; 31%) from B1 (LGD 3; 31%).  With an original
balance of $1.4 billion and $1.287 billion still outstanding, TLB
matures May 2014.  The speculative grade liquidity rating remains
SGL-4.  This concludes a review for downgrade begun on April 21,
2008, reflecting WNR's high leverage, weak operating performance
and covenant compliance concerns.

The rating outlook is negative.  While Moody's believes that WNR
is fundamentally a stronger credit over the medium term than the
new B3 Corporate Family Rating would imply, nevertheless the new
ratings reflect Moody's focus on WNR's potentially tight covenant
compliance over the next four quarters.

The rating actions reflect continuing very high leverage in the
context of very weak first half 2008 refining margins overall and,
in view of refining sector market indicators, expected only modest
recovery in second half 2008; the uncertainty concerning WNR's
ability to meet its third and fourth quarter financial covenants
at a difficult time in the high yield debt markets; the fact that
any TLB covenant breaches could be more costly and difficult to
remedy than bank revolver covenant breaches, given the presence of
a greater number of opportunistic holders of TLB; Moody's
expectation for continued below average or weak margins until at
least second quarter 2009; still elevated working capital funding
needs with oil prices still in the $120/barrel range; and the lack
of a clear set of remedial actions on the part of management to
alleviate leverage.

WNR's high leverage derives from its $1.5 billion acquisition of
Giant Industries in May 2007.  Debt totals just over $1.5 billion.
Moody's estimates that WNR's 2008 interest expense will exceed
$100 million and that capital spending will approach $200 million.
Through the first half of 2008, the cash flow shortfall was funded
with a substantial drawdown of $290 million in year-end 2007 cash
balances, with in excess of $100 million in cash remaining on the
balance sheet.

At the present time, Moody's does not expect EBITDA to exceed $200
million this year, with lower results possible in light of
cyclically weak demand trends and expected normally seasonally
weak fourth quarter margins.  Under those demand conditions,
actual results will be influenced by whether crude oil costs are
rising or falling, the severity of refining byproducts losses, and
cost differentials between heavy/sour and light/sweet crude oil
which have narrowed substantially.

WNR's next covenant test is September 30, 2008, when one covenant
requires a cumulative $100 million in EBITDA to be earned during
the combined second and third quarters of 2008 followed by a
requirement at Dec. 31, 2008 for a cumulative $175 million EBITDA
during the last three quarters of 2008.  An interest coverage
covenant (EBITDA/interest expense) reinstates at 1.5x for the
quarter ending Sept. 30, 2008 and lasting through March 31, 2009
period before rising to 1.75x for June 30, 2009, and 2.0x
thereafter.  A Debt/EBITDA covenant reinstates on March 31, 2009,
at 5.0x, and falling quarterly thereafter to 4.0x by Dec. 31,
2009, and falling to 3.5x by year-end 2010.  If WNR issues
subordinated debt, total permitted leverage rises by 0.50x for
each of the above Debt/EBITDA tests.

While second quarter results enabled Western to make a 75%
contribution towards meeting its $100 million second and third
quarter 2008 cumulative EBITDA covenant and a 43% contribution
towards meeting its $175 million second, third, and fourth quarter
2008 cumulative EBITDA covenant, sector margins do tend to weaken
as the third quarter progresses and fourth quarter margins are
normally seasonally weak.  After traditional second and third
quarter seasonal strength, seasonal weakness would be expected
until second quarter 2009.  Seasonal fourth and first quarter
weakness can be amplified if winter temperatures are milder than
normal. When and if it appears that WNR will comfortably clear its
covenant tests, the rating outlook would be revisited.

At the current time, gasoline margins remain very weak and
distillate margins have weakened from strength, although asphalt
losses may have been reduced.  Looking forward, if crude oil
prices continue to fall relative to sector pricing power for
gasoline and distillate, the very weak margins of first half 2008
could be tempered to simply cyclically weak. However, crude other
market indicators have weakened, including a narrowing in cost
differentials between lower value heavy/sour crude oil and high
value light/sweet crude oil.

WNR's SGL-4 liquidity rating reflects expected lean cash flow
after interest expense and maintenance capital spending, tempered
by an estimated over $100 million of cash on hand; expected
continued heavy revolver use for borrowings and, especially, to
issue letters of credit in support of crude oil purchases; and
expected tight covenant clearance.  Although WNR negotiated
covenant relief for under its TLB and bank revolvers, refining
sector conditions are sufficiently weak to challenge covenant
coverage as those covenants begin to reinstate on Sept. 30, 2008.

Regarding internal liquidity, cash flows will likely be
supplemented during third and fourth quarter 2008 due to the
conversion of the normal mid-year surge in accounts receivables
into significant cash during third quarter and fourth quarter. We
estimate that WNR has between $125 million to $175 million of
undrawn availability under its combined $880 million in revolvers
and over $100 million of cash balances. WNR posts a high level of
letters of credit to support its crude oil purchases and direct
borrowings are likely to remain substantial until the traditional
mid-year escalation in receivables is collected.

The ratings could be reduced further should covenant coverage
begin to appear unlikely after the third quarter. Moody's does not
currently believe that refining market conditions over the coming
four quarters can be counted on with confidence to alone provide
comfortable coverage of bank facility covenants.

TLB is first secured by fixed assets and second secured by
receivables and inventory. Moody's does not rate WNR's $800
million and $75 million revolvers.  The unrated revolvers are
first secured by inventory and receivables and second secured by
WNR's fixed assets. Revolver advances are governed by eligible
receivables and inventory.

Western Refining, headquartered in El Paso, Texas, is an
independent refining and marketing company. Western owns and
operates a relatively complex coking refinery located in Yorktown,
two light sweet crude oil refineries in the Four Corners region of

XERIUM TECHNOLOGIES: Earns $14.1 Million in 2008 Second Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Xerium Technologies Inc. reported Wednesday results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Net income increased 83.1% to $14.1 million for the 2008 quarter,
compared to net income of $7.7 million for the 2007 quarter.  The
increase in net income was largely due to a $13.7 million pre-tax,
non-cash credit to interest expense reflecting the mark-to-market
increase in the fair value of the company's interest rate swaps.

Net sales for the 2008 quarter were $170.4 million, a 10.9%
increase from net sales for the 2007 quarter of $153.7 million.
Excluding the effects of currency on pricing and translation,
second quarter 2008 net sales increased 2.8% from the second
quarter of 2007, with a decline of 1.8% and an increase of 12.2%
in the clothing and roll covers segments, respectively.

"The transformation that we began in early 2008 is starting to
show results," said Stephen Light, president, chief executive
officer and chairman.  "While the market continues to remain
challenging, we believe we have improved our ability to compete
effectively.  We anticipate that most of the hard work to
restructure certain operations and execute an amended credit
agreement is now largely behind us.  We've begun to reduce working
capital as Xerium's employees remain focused on delivering the
results we expect in our new business plan and paying down our
debt."

Gross margins were $68.8 million or 40.4% of net sales for the
2008 quarter, compared to $64.2 million or 41.8% of net sales for
the 2007 quarter.  

Income from operations declined by 25.9% to $17.7 million for the
2008 quarter from $23.9 million for the 2007 quarter.  During the
second quarter of 2008, the company expensed approximately
$5.2 million to general and administrative expenses in connection
with the amendments to its credit facility.  In addition, for the
second quarter of 2008, restructuring and impairment expenses
increased by $1.5 million to $2.7 million from $1.2 million in the
second quarter of 2007.

Net cash generated by operating activities was $11.2 million for
the 2008 quarter, which compares to $14.8 million for the 2007
quarter.  Cash provided by operating activities was decreased by
approximately $4.4 million related to amendment costs in the
second quarter of 2008.  The company has reduced working capital
from 30% of revenues in the year-ago quarter to 27%.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the company's amended credit
facility) was $50.2 million for the 2008 quarter, compared to
$38.2 million for the 2007 quarter.

Cash on hand at June 30, 2008, was $25.4 million, compared to cash
on hand at March 31, 2008, of $31.0 million.  Cash on hand at
June 30, 2007, was $24.7 million.

During the 2008 quarter, Xerium made senior debt principal
repayments of $2.3 million.  During the six months ended June 30,
2008, the company made senior debt repayments of $13.5 million.

Capital expenditures during the 2008 quarter were $8.8 million,
compared to $7.3 million during the 2007 quarter.

                          Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2008, the company's consolidated balance sheet showed
$932.6 million in total assets, $911.9 million in total
liabilities, and $20.7 million in total stockholders' equity.

As disclosed in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 9, 2008,
Moody's Investors Service revised Xerium Technologies, Inc.'s
outlook to positive from negative, upgraded its speculative grade
liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4, and upgraded its probability
of default rating to Caa1 from Caa2.

As related in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 5, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on Xerium
Technologies Inc., including the 'CCC+' corporate credit rating,
and removed them from CreditWatch, where they were originally
placed with negative implications on March 19, 2008.  At the same
time, S&P assigned a positive outlook.


* Global Bond Markets Confront Credit Deterioration, S&P Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
The remaining months of 2008 will require skillful navigation
through a challenging financial and economic landscape, said an
article published by Standard & Poor's.

The article, which is titled "Global Credit Outlook: Risk Will
Remain A Four-Letter Word (Premium)," says that early expectations
that timelymonetary easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other
central banks would quickly lay the foundation in place for a
speedy recovery in the financial markets are increasingly at risk.

"We have long been proponents of the view that the credit euphoria
of the prior boom years beginning with 2003 would necessitate a
shakeout and purge," said Diane Vazza, head of Standard & Poor's
Global Fixed Income Research Group. "This would result in
substantially higher downgrades and defaults, concentrated in the
U.S., but not without repercussions in other parts of the world."

Indeed, the latest batch of data attests that economic momentum is
decelerating at a rapid clip in Europe and -- to a lesser extent
-- in Japan. Emerging markets are holding strong at the moment--
partially based on support from commodity prices, but they could
come under pressure if commodity markets lose steam or world
aggregate demand deteriorates at a faster rate than anticipated.


* S&P Cuts Ratings on $6.726BB in 53 Asset-Backed, Synthetic CDOs
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on 53
tranches from 10 U.S. cash flow and hybrid collateralized debt
obligation (CDO) transactions. S&P removed 30 of the lowered
ratings from CreditWatch with negative implications. At the same
time, S&P placed three ratings on tranches from South Coast
Funding VII Ltd. on CreditWatch negative. The ratings on 23 of the
downgraded tranches remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications, indicating a significant likelihood of further
downgrades (see list). The CreditWatch placements primarily affect
transactions for which a significant portion of the collateral
assets have ratings that are currently on CreditWatch negative or
have significant exposure to assets rated in the 'CCC' category.

The 53 downgraded U.S. cash flow and hybrid tranches have a total
issuance amount of $6.446 billion. Eight of the 10 affected
transactions are mezzanine structured finance (SF) CDOs of asset-
backed securities, which are collateralized in large part by
mezzanine tranches of residential mortgage-backed securities
(RMBS) and other SF securities. The other two transactions are
CDOs of CDOs that were collateralized at origination primarily by
notes from other CDOs, as well as by tranches from RMBS and other
SF transactions. The CDO downgrades reflect a number of
factors, including credit deterioration and recent negative rating
actions on U.S. subprime RMBS securities.

In addition, Standard & Poor's reviewed the ratings assigned to
Summer Street 2007-1 Ltd. and, based on the current credit support
available to the tranches, has left the ratings at their current
rating level.

At the same time, S&P lowered the ratings on five tranches from
five U.S. synthetic CDO transactions. The ratings on all of the
downgraded tranches remain on CreditWatch negative. The downgraded
U.S. synthetic CDO tranches have a total issuance amount of $280
million.

To date, including the CDO tranches listed and including actions
on both publicly and confidentially rated tranches, S&P have
lowered the ratings on 3,440 tranches from 821 U.S. cash flow,
hybrid, and synthetic CDO transactions as a result of stress in
the U.S. residential mortgage market and credit deterioration of
U.S. RMBS. In addition, 1,250 ratings from 381 transactions are
currently on CreditWatch negative for the same reasons. In all,
S&P have downgraded $377.436 billion of CDO issuance.
Additionally, S&P'S ratings on $16.134 billion in securities have
not been lowered but are currently on CreditWatch negative,
indicating a high likelihood of future downgrades.

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

* S&P Reports on Double Leverage in Health Insurance
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services published a criteria article
titled, "Double Leverage In Health Insurance," which states that
many managed care holding companies have taken on increasing
levels of debt as the industry matures and as prospects for future
consolidation narrows. This in turn has started to tug down credit
quality for both holding and operating companies.

"The relatively low total adjusted capital levels held by health
insurers leave them with less flexibility to carry the burden of
double leverage created by their debt financed acquisitions and
stock repurchases," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Shellie
Stoddard. "The key to our concern on double leverage is that the
holding company debt incurred must be serviced through operating
company dividends, which are scrutinized by U.S. insurance
regulators."


* Write-Downs Weaken Global Investment Banks' Earnings, S&P Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
As the downturn in the credit cycle enters its second year,
challenging business conditions and substantial write-downs
continue to weigh on global investment banks' and brokers'
financial performance–-and these are still placing ongoing
pressure on ratings, according to a report published by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services.  The report, titled "Earnings Pressures
Continue Through Second  Quarter For Global Investment Banks And
Brokers," discusses the second-quarter earnings of the major
investment houses.

Reported results remained broadly weak, but with an unusually wide
dispersion.

"We believe second-quarter results underscore the concerns we
expressed in our sector review," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Scott Sprinzen.

In concluding its review, on June 2, Standard & Poor's lowered its
ratings on three of the four independent U.S. broker-dealers --

   Morgan Stanley (A+/Negative/A-1+),
   Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (A/Negative/A-1), and
   Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (A/Negative/A-1)

-- while affirming its ratings on the fourth, The Goldman Sachs
Group Inc. (AA-/Negative/A-1+).

S&P subsequently lowered the ratings on Deutsche Bank AG (AA-
/Negative/A-1+). Outlooks are currently negative across the
sector.

"Setting aside write-downs and focusing on the securities-related
segments of these companies, business conditions remain difficult
-- but not worse than we had previously assumed," said Mr.
Sprinzen.

Write-downs on holdings of subprime and other mortgage loans,
asset-backed collateralized debt obligations, residential
mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities,
and leveraged finance loans and lending commitments have
substantially -- but variably -- affected the financial
performance of these firms. After a very rough March, market
valuations seemingly stabilized in April and May. However, June
saw a return of severe pressures, partially reflecting heightened
anxiety about the state of the U.S. housing market and of the
general economy.


* South Florida Sees Bankruptcies Rise 93% From Last Year
---------------------------------------------------------
Southern Florida experienced a 93 percent increase in bankruptcy
filings, from 953 in July 2007 to 1,836 filings last month, the
Miami Herald reports, citing records compiled by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The tri-county region saw 22 businesses filing Chapter 11
protection in July, compared to 15 filings in the same prior-year
period.  In Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward Counties, there
were 1,353 filers who entered Chapter 7 to liquidate their assets,
compared to 678 in July 2007.

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.
