ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Fitch Further Pushes IDR in Junk Territory
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Issuer Default Ratings of
AbitibiBowater Inc., Abitibi-Consolidated Inc., Bowater Inc. and
Bowater Canadian Forest Products Inc. to 'C' and other affiliated
debt ratings:

AbitibiBowater Inc.

  -- IDR to 'C' from 'CCC'.

Abitibi-Consolidated Inc.

  -- IDR to 'C' from 'CC';
  -- Senior secured term loan to 'B-/RR1' from 'CCC/RR1';
  -- Secured notes to 'B-/RR1' from 'CCC/RR1';
  -- Long-term unsecured to 'C/RR6' from 'CC/RR4'.

Bowater Incorporated

  -- IDR to 'C' from 'CCC';
  -- Secured revolver to 'B-/RR1' from 'B/RR1';
  -- Senior unsecured debt to 'C/RR6' from 'CCC/RR4'.

Bowater Canadian Forest Products Inc.

  -- IDR to 'C' from 'CCC';
  -- Secured revolver to 'B-/RR1' from 'B/RR1';
  -- Senior unsecured debt to 'C/RR6' from 'B-/RR2'.

No Rating Outlook is assigned.

These rating actions follow a rapid deterioration in the pulp
markets (both demand and price) which began in the fourth quarter
of last year.  In tandem markets have grown weaker in newsprint,
light-weight coated papers and lumber.  All have contributed to a
liquidity crunch at Bowater and a distressed debt exchange offer
by the company to remedy further cash erosion.

Fitch's criteria for a DDE include a reduction in the aggregate
principle received of bonds being asked to tender in an exchange
and an admission of a potential default were the exchange not to
occur.  These conditions exist in the Bowater exchange.  Bowater
has offered a package of second and third lien notes for six
series of senior unsecured notes maturing this year through 2021.
If wholly successful the repayment of $248 million, $234 million
and $600 million of debt maturing this year, 2010 and 2011,
respectively, will have been pushed out until 2012 with a
significant loss of principle.  As an inducement for the exchange,
the unsecured notes are being offered security interests in
Bowater's fixed assets (including the Catawba and Calhoun pulp and
paper mills) plus subordinate interests in collateral granted to
Bowater's banks, all subject to a consent amendment to the
unsecured notes which would permit the security grants as
envisioned.  The face value of the second and third lien notes
received by tendering unsecured note holders will be substantially
less than the face value of the notes being tendered, and Bowater
stands to benefit from an approximate
$600 million plus reduction in total debt if the exchange offer is
wholly successful.

Bowater is also looking to raise new money through the sale of a
series of first lien notes due 2011 which is also being offered to
the unsecured note holders solicited in the tender, said liens
ranking ahead of those offered as tender consideration.  If the
subscription is wholly successful, a little more than
$211 million will be raised from the unsecured note holders before
fees.  In addition, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited has
separately agreed to purchase $80 million of the first lien notes
contingent upon the results of the exchange offer and unsecured
note holders' subscriptions to the first lien notes.  Bowater
intends to use approximately $40 million and $43 million to
permanently reduce amounts outstanding under Bowater's U.S. bank
credit facility and BCFPI's Canadian bank credit facility,
respectively.

If the exchange offer is completed and the first lien notes are
partially or wholly sold, Fitch would lower the IDR of Bowater to
'RD' before taking further rating actions on existing debt
securities and rating those which are the final result of the
exchange offer.  Prospectively, it is likely that Fitch would
raise Bowater's IDR to 'CC' or potentially higher if the results
of the exchange are wholly successful and if no other rating
issues have emerged.

The IDRs of 'C' assigned to AbitibiBowater Inc. and designated
subsidiaries signify situations where defaults are probable or
imminent due to concerns surrounding the business environment that
is afflicting Bowater, the amount of debt maturing in the near
term, and the likely prospects of refinancing maturing debt in the
current credit environment.

AbitibiBowater Inc. together with Bowater, Abitibi-Consolidated
Inc. and subsidiaries produce a wide range of newsprint,
commercial printing papers, market pulp and wood products.
AbitibiBowater Inc. owns or operates 25 pulp and paper facilities
and 30 wood product facilities in the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom and South Korea.

AGAPE WORLD: Court OKs Involuntary Petition for Ch. 7 Liquidation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Michael H. Samuels at Long Island Business News reports that the
Hon. Dorothy Eisenberg of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of New York has approved investors' Agape World
Inc. of petition to put the company into Chapter 7 bankruptcy
protection.

Thomas Maier at Newsday.com relates that five investors claimed
that they were defrauded in an alleged $380 million scam by
Nicholas Cosmo, who was arrested in January for allegedly
masterminding a Ponzi scheme and is being held in jail.

According to Newsday.com, the investors are seeking to recover
whatever money may be left in Agape World.  Court documents say
that about $746,000 remains from the money collected by Mr. Cosmo
and other associates in Agape World.

Newsday.com quoted Mark S. Mulholland, the attorney for the
investors, as saying, "The money has disappeared -- at least
temporarily -- to the four winds.  Our action is to put Agape
World into bankruptcy court with a trustee who can oversee things.
Right now, no one is running the store."

Mr. Mulholland said that he's been in contact with 36 other
investors claiming that they lost money with Agape World,
Newsday.com states.  Citing federal officials, the report says
that Agape World promised above-market average returns on loans
made to businesses.

Mr. Cosmo is looking for a lawyer for the bankruptcy case,
Newsday.com reports, citing. Stacey Richmond, an attorney for
Mr. Cosmo in his criminal case.

According to court documents, Mr. Mulholland alleged that
Mr. Cosmo created Agape World to run a Ponzi scheme, and made only
$10 million in legitimate loans.  Court documents say that
Mr. Cosmo and his associates lost the bulk of the money collected
from investors in a wide array of activities, including
$100 million into risky commodities trades where Mr. Cosmo lost
about $80 million.

According to Long Island Business, Mr. Mulholland said tha6t he
h6oped money and property accumulated by Mr. Cosmo and his brokers
would be included as Agape World assets, which could result in the
confiscation of tens of millions of dollars worth of luxury cars,
expensive jewelry, and posh real estate properties.  Investors
6w6ho received money from Agape World through interest payments
might have to return their money, the report says, citing Mr.
Mulholland.

Long Island Business states that Judge Eisenberg ordered that an
i8nterim trustee be appointed immediately to start finding out who
Agape World's creditors are.

Mr. Cuomo, says Long Island Business, had already been forced into
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in May 1998 due to debts with creditors that
included American Express, Marine Midland Bank (now HSBC), and the
Tennessee Department of Revenue.

According to court documents, federal prosecutors said that the
government and the defense "are engaged in plea negotiations,
which they believe are likely to result in a disposition of this
case without trial."  Stacey Richman, Agape World's defense
lawyer, denied the negotiations, Martha Graybow at Reuters
relates.

Citing Ms. Richman, Reuters states that the two parties were still
investigating the case and had only jointly agreed to extend by a
month a February deadline for the government to seek a federal
grand jury indictment against Mr. Cosmo.  Ms. Richman, according
to court documents, said that Agape World had agreed to the delay
"so that the defense and the government can engage in further
discussions about the disposition of this matter."

Robert E. Kessler at Newsday relates that U.S. Magistrate E.
Thomas Boyle granted Ms. Richamn's request for a delay in the
criminal case against Mr. Cosmo until the middle of March.
Newsday notes that Ms. Richman said that she had requested the
delay because she was new to the case and "investigating what
happened.  I still don't have all the paperwork."

Reuters reports that The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has
also brought civil charges against Mr. Cosmo and Agape World.

Hauppauge-based Agape World Inc. -- http://www.agapeworldinc.net/
-- is a private bridge lender since 1999.

                      About AirTran Holdings

Headquartered in Orlando Florida, AirTran Holdings Inc. (NYSE:
AAI) -- http://www.airtran.com/-- a Fortune 1000 company, is
the parent company of AirTran Airways Inc., which offers more than
700 daily flights to 56 U.S. destinations.

                          *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter said on Aug. 29, 2008, that Standard
& Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its ratings on AirTran
Holdings Inc., including the corporate credit rating, which it
lowered to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  At the same time, S&P removed the
ratings from CreditWatch, where they had been placed with negative
implications on May 22, 2008.  The outlook is stable.


AIRTRAN HOLDINGS: Posts $273.8 Million Net Loss in 2008
-------------------------------------------------------
Robert L. Fornaro, chairman of the board, president and chief
executive officer of AirTran Holdings, Inc., disclosed in a
regulatory filing dated February 13, 2009, that despite the
Company's efforts to increase unit revenues, control costs, and
reduce capacity, after six consecutive years of profitability, the
Company reported an operating loss of $72.0 million and a net loss
of $273.8 million for 2008.  "Included in our results are gains on
the sale of assets of $23.2 million, an impairment charge to
write-off goodwill of $8.4 million and a non-operating loss on
derivative financial instruments of $150.8 million.  The 2008 loss
was primarily attributable to record high fuel prices during the
first nine months of 2008.  However, during the fourth quarter of
2008 jet fuel prices decreased dramatically and consequently we
reported operating income for the fourth quarter.  The fourth
quarter also includes non-operating losses on derivative financial
instruments which resulted in a pre-tax loss and a net loss for
the quarter."

Mr. Fornaro related that the Company reported fourth quarter
operating income of $54.9 million compared to an operating loss of
$126.9 million for the first three quarters of 2008.  "Our fourth
quarter operating income was also favorably impacted by a 3.4
percent improvement in unit revenue as measured by total revenue
per available seat mile compared to the first nine months of 2008.
Our fourth quarter 2008 unit revenue also improved by 7.9 percent
compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.  The unit revenue
improvement was attributable to both increased average fare and
ancillary revenue levels.  Additionally, our aggregate non-fuel
operating costs decreased $7.8 million compared to the fourth
quarter of 2007 as we reduced capacity as measured by available
seat miles by 6.5 percent."

"Due to the decrease in crude oil prices during the fourth
quarter, we reported a $147.7 million non-operating loss on
derivative financial instruments compared to a non-operating loss
on derivative financial instruments of $3.1 million for the first
nine months.  The fourth quarter non-operating loss on derivative
financial instruments combined with interest expense caused us to
report a loss before income taxes of $114.2 million for the fourth
quarter."

According to Mr. Fornaro, before 2008, the Company positioned
itself as a growth airline.  "We successfully grew our business at
double-digit rates annually from 2000 through 2007 and at a rate
of 4.9 percent in 2008.  Nevertheless, in 2008, to respond to the
challenges of a volatile fuel cost environment in much of 2008, a
weaker macroeconomic environment, and very adverse capital market
conditions, we recast our plans in order to defer previously
planned growth.  We implemented reductions in fleet size,
capacity, and capital expenditures.  We reduced capacity
principally by deferring scheduled aircraft deliveries, reducing
utilization, and by selling B737 aircraft.  We reduced our
capacity in the last four months of 2008 from a planned ten
percent increase to a reduction of approximately seven percent
compared to the comparable period of 2007.  We are also reducing
2009 capacity.  By adjusting our business strategy and
implementing revised tactics, we believe we have positioned
AirTran Airways to deal with the volatile fuel cost environment,
current economic recession, and reduction in consumer demand.  We
expect to be ready to resume our historical growth strategy when
the business environment allows.  We made [these] adjustments to
our strategy to respond to the challenges of a volatile fuel cost
environment and weaker macroeconomic conditions:

   -- reduce the size of our operation and focus on strengthening
      established markets,

   -- continue to aggressively cut costs and reduce non-aircraft
      capital expenditures,

   -- increase cash resources,

   -- mitigate our fuel exposure,

   -- increase revenues, and

   -- provide quality low fare service."

"Based on our current outlook, we expect to reduce capacity as
measured by available seat miles by approximately four percent for
2009 compared to 2008.  Additionally, we expect our 2009 non-fuel
unit operating costs per available seat mile to increase six to
seven percent compared to 2008.  We expect our non-fuel unit
operating costs to increase primarily due to: increases in
aircraft maintenance costs due to the aging of both aircraft
types, a contract cost increase for B717 engine repairs, and an
increased number of heavy airframe checks for our B717 aircraft;
higher employee compensation costs due to higher wage rates
attributable to higher average employee seniority; increased pilot
training expenses; higher airport rents and landing fees; and a
higher percentage of leased aircraft.  Our fuel costs in the first
quarter 2009 are estimated to be between $1.80 and $1.85 per
gallon, including taxes, transportation, and into-plane fees and
excluding the impact of our fuel risk management program.  This
assumes $47 a barrel crude oil and an $18 jet fuel refining
margin."

"Air travel in our markets tends to be seasonal, with the highest
levels occurring during the winter months to Florida and the
summer months to the Northeastern and Western United States.  The
second quarter tends to be our strongest revenue quarter."

As of December 31, 2008, the Company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $2,062,860,000, total liabilities of $1,816,855,000 and
total stockholders' equity of $246,005,000.

ALERIS INT'L: May Tap $150MM From Loan; First Day Motions Okayed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aleris International, Inc., said Friday that the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court has granted the relief the Company requested in a series of
court filings known as "First Day Motions."  The orders issued by
the Court will help the Company continue to operate its business
during the reorganization proceedings.

As part of its voluntary filing of petitions for reorganization
under Chapter 11 for it and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries,
Aleris filed First Day Motions to support its employees and
vendors and suppliers, together with its customers and other
stakeholders. Among other things, the Court granted approval for
the Company's request to continue payment of wages and health and
welfare benefits to employees and to pay vendors and suppliers for
goods and services provided on or after the filing date of
February 12, 2009.

Judge Brendan Shannon of the United States Bankruptcy Court,
District of Delaware also granted interim approval for the Company
to access $150 million of its new $1.075 billion debtor-in
possession financing, including a new $500 million term loan.  The
DIP credit facility includes a $575 million revolving credit
facility, which replaces the Company's previous revolving credit
facility, and will be used for the Company's normal operating and
working capital requirements, including employee wages and
benefits, supplier payments, and other operating expenses during
the during the reorganization process.

A hearing for final approval of the First Day Motions has been
scheduled for March 11, 2009. The Company's First Day Motions were
granted, pending, among other things, review by the Creditors'
Committee, which is expected to be formed during the week of
February 20, 2009, and subsequent approval by the Court.
Steven J. Demetriou, Aleris Chairman and CEO, said, "We are
pleased to have received initial approval for our DIP facility and
other first-day motions, which will enable us to transition into
Chapter 11 with minimal disruption and to maintain normal
operations as we move forward."

ALERIS INTERNATIONAL: Chapter 11 Filing Cues S&P's 'D' Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on Aleris International Inc. to 'D' from
'CCC-'.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered all of its
issue-level ratings on the company to 'D'.

Pending further information from the bankruptcy proceedings, the
recovery rating on the company's senior secured term loan remains
at '3', indicating S&P's expectations for meaningful (50% to 70%)
recovery, and the recovery rating on the senior unsecured debt
remains at '6', indicating S&P's expectations for negligible (0%
to 15%) recovery.

"The downgrade follows Aleris' announcement that the company and
its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions
for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Maurice Austin.

The company also announced that, pending court approval, it has
received commitments for debtor-in-possession financing to fund
continuing operations, including payment of employee wages and
benefits in the ordinary course and payment of post-petition
obligations to vendors under existing terms.

The contemplated DIP financing could further impair the recovery
prospects of the pre-petition term loan lenders who may be unable
to commit to the new DIP financing, which calls for a roll-up of
an equal portion of existing term loans.

ARVINMERITOR INC: Dim Auto Industry Outlook Cues S&P's Junk Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has lowered its
corporate credit rating on Troy, Michigan-based ArvinMeritor Inc.
to 'CCC+' from 'B' and lowered its issue-level ratings on the
company's debt.  All ratings were removed from CreditWatch, where
they had been placed on Nov. 13, 2008.  The outlook is negative.

The downgrade reflects S&P's view that both the commercial vehicle
and light-vehicle segments will face severe problems in 2009.

"We believe commercial vehicle sales and production will continue
to decline in North America and will decrease sharply in Europe,
resulting in lower profitability and increasing cash use," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lawrence Orlowski.  "In addition,
the company has been forced to retain its cash-draining LVS
segment because of the weak outlook for light-vehicle sales, which
had complicated earlier efforts to shed the unit through a sale or
spin-off," he continued.

Forecasts of commercial vehicle production volumes continue to
fall.  The company is assuming that Class 8 truck production in
2009 will be 140,000 units, down 27% versus 2008 levels; European
medium- and heavy-duty truck production in 2009 is expected to be
305,000 units, down 46% from 2008 levels.  S&P consider
ArvinMeritor's assumptions to be realistic, given the weak
economic outlook.  Still, it is far from clear whether
ArvinMeritor's production assumptions reflect the low point in the
truck cycle.  Predictors of future sales, such as net monthly
orders and backlog, fell through 2008 and were even weaker in
January 2009; freight tonnage volumes also remain weak.
Furthermore, although the average age of the truck fleet is
rising, S&P believes there is leeway for further aging of the
fleet in this economic cycle.  In response to the ongoing
deterioration in commercial truck demand, the company has
accelerated its restructuring efforts.  For its CVS business, the
company expects to realize $165 million in cost reductions in
2009.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2009 (ended Dec. 31, 2008), CVS
revenue fell 11% year over year as a result of lower vehicle
production.

S&P believes the outlook for the now-retained LVS business is also
difficult.  S&P expects U.S. light-vehicle sales in 2009 to be 10
million units, 24% below 2008 actual sales.  In the first quarter
of fiscal 2009, LVS revenue fell 29% year over year because of
lower vehicle sales and original equipment manufacturer inventory
reductions.  Segment EBITDA was a negative $41 million before
special items, compared to a positive $12 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008.  ArvinMeritor plans to realize total cost
reductions in this business of $82 million during fiscal 2009.

For the entire company, S&P expects revenue to fall at least 25%
and margins to erode significantly compared to results in 2008.

S&P believes ArvinMeritor's liquidity could come under pressure
during 2009 and 2010 as the company uses cash and declining
earnings reduce covenant headroom.  Although working capital
requirements are typically steepest in the first quarter, free
cash flow generation was hurt because inventory did not decline as
much as the company had expected, reflecting the rapid fall in
demand.  Nevertheless, S&P is concerned that greater-than-expected
declines in production volumes during the rest of the year will
prevent the company from generating a typical level of free cash
flow in the last nine months of its fiscal year.  Moreover, S&P
expects the retention of the LVS business to continue to use up
cash throughout the year.

The outlook is negative.  S&P expects 2009 to be a very weak year
for ArvinMeritor's sales and profitability because of a global
decline in commercial and light-vehicle demand.  S&P could lower
the ratings further if ArvinMeritor is unable to sustain annual
EBITDA of roughly $170 million, a level S&P estimates is required
to cover interest expense and reasonable capital spending.
Separately, S&P would lower the rating if S&P believed the company
would undertake a distressed exchange of debt.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable or positive in the next
year if the company's performance showed signs of a rebound, most
likely caused by better-than-expected global demand, but S&P views
this as unlikely in the near term.  The company would have to
demonstrate the potential for generating at least breakeven free
cash flow and increasing the cushion under its existing covenants.
This would likely require a significant rebound in truck sales in
both North America and Europe, and U.S. light-vehicle sales to go
well above the 10.0 million units S&P expects for 2009.  Moreover,
actions taken to mitigate the cash drain of its LVS business would
have a favorable influence on S&P's outlook.


AUDATEX HOLDINGS: Moody's Affirms 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Ba3 Corporate Family Rating
of Audatex Holdings, LLC, and changed the rating outlook to
positive from stable.

"The positive outlook anticipates modest profit growth over the
next year driven by good secular growth trends in Europe and
developing markets.  The ratings reflect the company's track
record of revenue and earnings growth, leading market positions in
Europe and the US, and strong credit metrics for the Ba3 rating
category" stated Lenny Ajzenman, Senior Credit Officer.

The ratings are principally constrained by the company's
dependence on a group of large property and casualty insurance
carriers for a significant portion of revenues, concentration of
revenues in estimation and workflow software products which are
subject to technology risks, and concern that pricing pressures
could intensify in a weakening economy.

Moody's affirmed these ratings of Audatex Holdings, LLC:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Ba3
  -- Probability of Default Rating, Ba3

Moody's affirmed these ratings of Audatex Holdings IV B.V. (an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Audatex and a holding company
for operating subsidiaries outside of North America):

  -- $25 million First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2012,
     Ba3 (to LGD 3, 45% from LGD 3, 47%)

  -- $366.1 million First Lien Term Loan due 2014, Ba3 (to LGD 3,
     45% from LGD 3, 47%)

Business Services Group Holdings B.V., a holding company for the
Netherlands operations, is a co-borrower under these facilities.

Moody's affirmed these ratings of Audatex North America, Inc. (an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Audatex and a holding company
for the North American operating subsidiaries):

  -- $25 million First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2012,
     Ba3 (to LGD 3, 45% from LGD 3, 47%)

  -- $217.6 million First Lien Term Loan due 2014, Ba3 (to LGD 3,
     45% from LGD 3, 47%)

The last rating action on Audatex was on March 20, 2008 at which
time Moody's upgraded the Corporate Family Rating, Probability of
Default Rating and the senior secured credit facility to Ba3 from
B1.

Audatex, headquartered in San Diego, California, is a leading
global provider of software and services to the automobile
insurance claims processing industry.  The company's customer base
includes more than 900 automobile insurance companies, 33,000
collision repair facilities, 7,000 independent assessors and 3,000
automotive recyclers.

BALLY TOTAL: Seeks June 1, 2009 Extension of Removal Period
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule
9006(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Bally Total
Fitness Holding Corp. ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to extend until June 1, 2009, the
period within which they may remove civil actions and proceedings
in state and federal courts pending on or before the Petition
Date.

Section 1452 of Title 28 of the U.S. Code provides for the
removal of actions related to bankruptcy cases.  Specifically,
Section 1452 provides in pertinent part that a party may remove
any claim or cause of action in a civil action other than a
proceeding before the U.S. Tax Court or a civil action by a
governmental unit to enforce that governmental unit's police or
regulatory power, to the district court where that civil action
is pending, if that district court has jurisdiction of that claim
or cause of action under 28 U.S.C. Section 1334.

Bankruptcy Rule 9027 places time restrictions on the Debtors'
ability to remove pending actions.  The period for the Debtors to
remove actions expires on the later of March 3, 2003.  Rule 9027
provides that if a claim or cause of action in a civil action is
pending when a case under the Code is commenced, a notice of
removal may be filed only within the longest of:

  (a) 90 days after the debtor's petition for protection under
      Chapter 11 is approved;

  (b) 30 days after entry of an order terminating a stay, if the
      claim or cause of action in a civil action has been stayed
      under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

  (c) 30 days after a trustee qualifies in a Chapter 11
      reorganization case but not later than 180 days after the
      order for relief.

Bankruptcy Rule 9006 permits the court to extend the period to
remove actions provided by Bankruptcy Rule 9027.

Bradley O'Neill, Esq., at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, in
New York, states that the Debtors are parties to numerous
judicial and administrative proceedings currently pending in
various courts and administrative agencies.  The Debtors are
continuing to review their files and records to determine whether
they should remove any claims or civil causes of action, he says.

Due to the number of civil actions involved and the complex
nature of those actions, the Debtors require additional time to
consider the removal of civil actions, Mr. O'Neill explains.
Extending the Removal Period will permit the Debtors to timely
review and properly evaluate their pending litigation matters,
without prejudice to any counterparty, he adds.

The Court will convene a hearing on February 25, 2009, at 10:00
a.m., to consider the Debtors' request.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those

consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the

BUCKEYE TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Gives Stable Outlook; Keeps BB- Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Buckeye
Technologies Inc. to stable from positive.  Standard & Poor's also
affirmed all ratings, including the 'BB-' corporate credit rating,
on the Memphis, Tennessee-based producer of specialty pulps and
absorbent products.

"The outlook revision reflects our assessment that, as a result of
weaker-than-expected end-market demand, combined with the
likelihood for lower selling prices in the next few quarters,
credit metrics will no longer be at levels consistent for a higher
rating," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Sookram.  S&P
was previously expecting adjusted debt to EBITDA of about 3x and
funds from operations to debt to increase to about 30%.  "Because
of the current operating trends, which S&P expects to continue in
the near term, credit measures will likely deteriorate from
current levels but still remain appropriate for the current
rating," added Mr. Sookram.  "Specifically, S&P expects debt to
EBITDA to remain in the 3.5x-4x area, and FFO to adjusted debt to
be 15%."

The rating on Buckeye reflects excess industry capacity, volatile
input costs, and the meaningful proportion of revenues derived
from cyclical commodity products.  The company's leading position
in value-added product markets, improving cost structure, and good
geographic diversity partially offset these factors.

Buckeye benefits from good geographic diversity; about two-thirds
of its sales are to customers outside North America.  In addition,
the company continues to increase its focus on value-added
products, which represent about 80% of its revenues, thus reducing
its reliance on sales of fluff pulp, which has more volatile
prices.  Value-added products offer unique performance
characteristics that command premium pricing compared with fluff
pulp.

High barriers to entry, such as long-term customer relationships,
substantial customer switching costs, and Buckeye's technical
"know-how" support the company's solid market positions.  In
addition, the company has negotiated some shorter-term contracts
(as opposed to its historical one-year contracts), which should
allow for more frequent pricing adjustments, if needed.

The outlook is stable.  Though S&P expects operating performance
to weaken in the next several quarters because of lower demand
associated with the economic downturn, Buckeye should still
maintain credit metrics that are appropriate for the current
rating, including operating margins of about 15% and debt to
EBITDA in the 3.5x-4x area.  S&P could revise the outlook to
negative if earnings and cash flow fall significantly below
current levels, resulting in weaker credit metrics; specifically,
if debt to EBITDA increases to more than 5x and FFO to debt
decreases to 10%.  Conversely, S&P could revise the outlook back
to positive if market conditions improve, resulting in stronger
credit measures, including a leverage ratio of about 3x and FFO to
debt of more than 20%.

CANWEST GLOBAL: May Go Bankrupt; Mulls Sale of Five TV Stations
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wojtek Dabrowski at Reuters reports that Canwest Global
Communications Corp. may go bankrupt.

"They're on the verge of bankruptcy.  The equity has been
reflecting that for some time," Reuters quoted CIBC World Markets
analyst Bob Bek as saying.

According to Reuters, Canwest Global shares were trading at 49
Canadian cents each on the Toronto Stock Exchange, compared to
C$6.11 each in 2008.

"A Chapter 11 (bankruptcy protection) filing is certainly a
possibility, although we think it's more likely that it seeks to
find a remedy for its high debt leverage without court protection
in order to preserve the current control structure," Reuters
quoted Credit Suisse analyst Randal Rudniski as saying.

Canwest Global, Reuters relates, said that the slumping economy
could force a main subsidiary to breach debt covenants in the next
several weeks.  Reuters states that Canwest Global said earlier
this month that its banks have capped the amount of money they are
willing to lend to its Canwest Media unit.  Citing Canwest Media,
the report says that changes to Canwest Media's C$300 million
senior credit facility mean that it can borrow another C$20
million on top of the C$92 million that has already been advanced
until February 27.

Reuters says that talks between Canwest Global and its lenders are
crucial to determining whether a bankruptcy protection filing is
necessary.  The uncertainty surrounding Canwest Global's balance
sheet prompted Mr. Rudniski to recommend that investors avoid
purchasing Canwest Global shares.  According to the report, Mr.
Rudniski said, "From our perspective, we would not buy the stock
until its refinancing plans have been disclosed."

According to Reuters, Canwest Global said that it will try to exit
non-core businesses and is considering selling five TV stations.
Analysts say that there may not be any prospective purchasers for
the TV stations, Reuters relates.  According to the report,
proceeds from the sale of those assets would barely make a dent in
Canwest Global's C$3.7 billion debtload.

Reuters, citing analysts, states that it's unlikely that there
would be interested buyers for its Canadian TV stations, due to
the challenging economic climate.  "We believe it will be very
difficult for Canwest to effect a sale of these stations in the
current economic environment.  If Canwest does receive a bid for
the assets, we believe it will not be significant," Reuters quoted
Cormark Securities analyst David McFadgen as saying.

Analysts, according to Reuters, suspect that Canwest Global is
selling more than just the five TV stations, and that Network Ten
has been shopped around to potential buyers.

Canwest Global Communications Corp. -- http://www.canwest.com/--

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 16, 2009,
Canwest Global Communications Corp. warned that based on current
revenue and expense projections, it may not be able to comply with
its existing quarterly total financial leverage ratio covenants in
fiscal 2009.  Continuation of negative conditions may affect the
Company's ability to meet certain financial covenants in its
credit facilities.  The company is reviewing and implementing
strategies to ensure compliance with its covenants, including
strategies intended to improve profitability and reduce debt.

The TCR reported on Jan. 19, 2009, that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on
Winnipeg, Manitoba-based Canwest Media Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'B'.
At the same time, S&P lowered the senior secured debt rating on
wholly owned subsidiary Canwest Limited Partnership to 'B-' from
'BB-'.  In addition, S&P lowered the senior subordinated debt
ratings on Canwest Media and Canwest LP to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.
S&P removed all ratings from CreditWatch with negative
implications, where they were placed Oct. 31, 2008.  The outlook
is negative.

CB RICHARD: Moody's Downgrades Senior Debt Rating to 'Ba2'
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of CB Richard
Ellis Services Inc. (senior debt to Ba2 from Ba1).  The outlook is
negative.

The ratings actions reflect CBRE's strained credit metrics,
particularly net debt to EBITDA and interest coverage.  Moody's
views that improving these metrics over the intermediate term will
be difficult given the deep economic downturn and ongoing
challenges in the capital markets.  The negative outlook reflects
Moody's concern that the current economic pressures could be long-
lasting and could result in further deterioration in the company's
operating performance.

The Ba2 rating reflects CBRE's sound franchise and leadership
position in the commercial real estate services sector, its
diversified revenue stream and its growth in annuity-like
businesses following the acquisition of Trammell Crow Company in
December 2006.  At the time of the TCC acquisition, Moody's viewed
the rise in leverage as transitional in nature; however, with the
protracted credit crisis and current economic conditions (both US
and global), Moody's now view CBRE's capital structure as more
permanent over the intermediate term.  The real estate services
business is highly correlated with real estate and economic
cycles, especially transactional businesses.  As a result, CBRE's
net debt to EBITDA increased to 4.9X at 12/31/08, a material
increase from 2.5X at 12/31/07 and interest coverage declined to
3.4X at 12/31/08 from 6.0X at 12/31/07.  The pressure on the
company's operating performance has also caused a deterioration in
CBRE's debt covenant cushions, particularly its leverage covenant.
Until the credit markets open, Moody's expect CBRE's metrics to
remain strained.  Positively, Moody's believes the company has
adequate liquidity to fund its 2009 debt and operating
obligations.

A stable rating outlook would be predicated upon a reduction in
leverage (net debt to EBITDA) closer to 3X and debt as a
percentage of assets approaching 40%, as well as sustained
recurring EBITDA margins of at least 12%.  Sustained deterioration
in operating performance resulting in recurring EBITDA margins
below 10%, further deterioration in its bank line covenant
cushion, or any increase in debt (beyond $2.2 billion) would
result in a downgrade.

These ratings were downgraded with a negative outlook:

  * CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. -- senior secured bank credit
    facility to Ba2 from Ba1

Moody's last rating action with respect to CB Richard Ellis was on
October 31, 2006 when Moody's affirmed the senior debt ratings at
Ba1.

CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. is the largest global provider of
commercial real estate services.  Services it provides include
property sales/leasing brokerage, property management, corporate
services and facilities management, capital markets advice and
execution, appraisal/valuation services, research and consulting.
CB Richard Ellis is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, USA,
and has approximately 29,000 employees and over 300 offices across
more than 50 countries.

CB Richard Ellis' ratings were assigned by evaluating factors
Moody's believe are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer,
such as i) the business risk and competitive position of the
company versus others within its industry, ii) the capital
structure and financial risk of the company, iii) the projected
performance of the company over the near to intermediate term, and
iv) management's track record and tolerance for risk.  These
attributes were compared against other issuers both within and
outside of CB Richard Ellis' core industry and the company's
ratings are believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of
similar credit risk.

CHESAPEAKE ENERGY: To Get Half of Parallel's Stake in Gas Field
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ben Casselman at The Wall Street Journal reports that Parallel
Petroleum Corp. will turn over half its 35% interest in a 25,600-
acre gas field in Fort Worth, Texas, rather than pay to drill
wells.

WSJ relates that Chesapeake Energy already holds most of the
remaining 65%.

Parallel Petroleum has entered into a farmout agreement with
Chesapeake Energy related to its Barnett Shale gas project.  On
February 11, 2009, Parallel and Chesapeake Energy entered into a
farmout agreement related to Parallel's approximate 35% interest
in their Barnett Shale gas project.  Under the farmout agreement,
for all wells drilled on Parallel's Barnett Shale leasehold from
November 1, 2008, through
December 31, 2016, Parallel has agreed to assign to Chesapeake
100% of Parallel's leasehold in the Barnett Shale, subject to
these terms:

          -- All wells drilled from November 1, 2008 through
             December 31, 2009, and all wells drilled during each
             succeeding calendar year through 2016 will be
             treated as a separate project or payout period,
             creating eight (8) separate projects or payout
             periods.

          -- At the time Chesapeake Energy commences the drilling
             of a well during one of the payout periods, Parallel
             will assign to Chesapeake Energy 100% of its
             leasehold interest within the subject unit or lease,
             reserving and retaining a 50% reversionary interest
             that will vest after Chesapeake recovers 150% of its
             costs for a particular payout period.  Until 150%
             payout has  been reached, Chesapeake Energy will
             fund 100% of Parallel's costs for drilling,
             completing and operating wells during the payout
             period.

          -- On each project, Chesapeake Energy is entitled to
             receive all revenues from Parallel's reversionary
             interest until Chesapeake Energy receives revenues
             totaling 150% of the drilling, completion and
             operating costs Chesapeake Energy incurs in funding
             Parallel's reversionary interest.

          -- Upon reaching the 150% payout level for a given
             project, 50% of the interest assigned to Chesapeake
             Energy will revert back to Parallel.

         -- After 150% project payout, Parallel will pay all
             costs and receive all revenues attributable to its
             50% reversionary interest in each project.

          -- For all wells drilled after January 1, 2017,
             Parallel will pay all costs and receive all revenues
             attributable to its 50% reversionary interest.

          -- Parallel is retaining all of its interest in wells
             commenced prior to November 1, 2008, except for
             three (3) wells commenced in late October 2008.
             Parallel is retaining all of its interest in
             approximately 90 gross (22.4 net) producing wells
             and 31 gross (9.49 net) wells in progress.

Parallel estimates that its Barnett Shale leasehold operated by
Chesapeake Energy and subject to the farmout agreement is
approximately 25,600 gross (9,300 net) acres.  Parallel
anticipates that approximately 61 gross (10.0 net) wells will be
drilled and included in the 2009 payout period from November 1,
2008 through December 31, 2009.  Payout of each project will
depend on drilling and completion costs, timing of completion and
pipeline connection to sales, and natural gas prices, among other
matters.

As of Parallel 31, 2008, Parallel had 37 gross (13.26 net) wells
in progress.  Of the 37 gross wells, 34 gross (12.12 net) wells
were shut-in awaiting pipeline, completing or awaiting completion,
and 3 gross (1.14 net) wells were drilling.  Of the 34 wells that
were shut-in awaiting pipeline, completing or awaiting completion,
31 gross (9.49 net) wells were in the Barnett Shale, 2 gross (1.75
net) wells were in the Wolfcamp, and 1 gross (0.88 net) well was
in the Permian Basin.  Of the 3 wells that were drilling, 1 gross
(0.01 net) well was drilling in the Wolfcamp, and 1 gross (0.88
net) well was drilling in the Permian Basin, and 1 gross (0.25
net) well was drilling in the Cotton Valley.

Revised 2009 CAPEX Budget

Parallel's revised 2009 CAPEX budget is approximately
$29.1 million. This is a 76% decrease when compared to the
$118.8 million preliminary 2009 CAPEX budget.  The $89.7 million
decrease is associated with reduced expenditures in the company's
North Texas Barnett Shale gas project as a result of its farmout
agreement with Chesapeake Energy and decreases in previously
planned drilling activity in the New Mexico Wolfcamp gas and
Permian Basin oil projects and is allocated as follows:

          -- $51.5 million decrease in the Barnett Shale,
          -- $9.7 million decrease in the Wolfcamp,
          -- $28.3 million decrease in the Permian Basin, and
          -- $0.2 million net decrease in the company's other
             projects.

Parallel's $29.1 million revised 2009 CAPEX budget includes
approximately $26.7 million for the completion of approximately 37
gross (13.3 net) wells that were in progress as of
December 31, 2008, the drilling and completion of approximately 7
gross (4.4 net) new wells, and the workover or conversion-to-
injection of approximately 22 gross (19.3 net) existing wells.
Approximately $2.4 million of the budget is allocated for the
purchase of leasehold and seismic data.  Of the total
$29.1 million revised CAPEX budget, Parallel has budgeted
approximately $12.1 million for its Permian Basin oil projects,
approximately $10.2 million for completion of previously drilled
wells in its Barnett Shale gas project and approximately
$5.2 million for its New Mexico Wolfcamp gas project.  The
remainder of the 2009 budget will be allocated to the Company's
other projects.

Larry C. Oldham, Parallel's President, commented, "During 2009,
our top priorities are to maximize liquidity and maintain
financial flexibility by funding our $29.1 million CAPEX budget
out of operating cash flow, while positioning ourselves to
capitalize on potential growth opportunities.  In November 2008,
we announced a $118.8 million preliminary CAPEX budget for 2009,
which included $61.7 million for the non-operated Barnett Shale
gas project.  Because of our farmout to Chesapeake, our 2009
capital requirements for the Barnett Shale gas project have
dropped 80% to $10.2 million for the estimated completion costs of
the 31 gross (9.49 net) wells that were in progress at year-end
2008."

Mr. Oldham further commented, "Due to the current disconnect
between low oil and natural gas prices and the relatively high
cost of goods and services, we are also reducing our 2009 CAPEX
budget in our Permian oil projects and our New Mexico Wolfcamp gas
project, all of which are under company control.  We will continue
to monitor commodity markets, service costs, economic conditions
and other factors and may further adjust our
$29.1 million 2009 CAPEX budget based upon product prices, service
costs and workover project inventory, among other factors.  In the
meantime, these measures will help us through these challenging
times."

CHRYSLER LLC: Talks on Retiree Trust Fund Restructuring Fail
------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC and General Motors Corp. have failed to reach an
agreement with the United Auto Workers on how to restructure a
trust fund for retiree health care, John D. Stoll, Matthew Dolan,
and Sharon Terlep at WSJ report, citing citing two people familiar
with the matter.

WSJ relates that the talks were slated to run through the weekend,
but they broke off on Friday.

According to WSJ, the disagreement on the health care trusts could
fuel concerns about the two firms' ability to win concessions from
the union and bondholders, which are required under the terms of
the emergency loans the firms secured from the government.
Failure to win concessions out of court could lead to the firms'
bankruptcy, WSJ relates.  WSJ states that GM and Chrysler have
developed extensive restructuring plans but have not made much
progress drawing up terms sheets with the UAW and bondholders.

Citing people familiar with the matter, WSJ says that GM and
Chrysler are trying to reduce how much company stock they have to
contribute into the health-care trust fund and other terms.

WSJ reports that GM and Chrysler, as part of their loan agreement
with the Treasury Department, also agreed to restructure a
voluntary employees' beneficiary association or VEBA with the UAW
by replacing half of the cash owed to the fund with stock.  VEBA
was established in 2007 labor negotiations and is designed to take
responsibility for tens of billions in health-care obligations
next year.  WSJ relates that VEBA will relieve the automakers of
several billion dollars of annual health-care costs, but the fund
needs billions in funding.

Chrysler and GM initially planned to transfer responsibility for
retiree health care to the union trust starting Jan. 1, 2010, but
now the firms want to shift that responsibility immediately, WSJ
states.

According to WSJ, half of the firms' obligation also includes cash
payments.  Citing a person familiar with the matter, WSJ says that
the companies hope to save cash by shifting additional risk to the
union.  WSJ relates that GM and Chrysler, instead of making large
cash payments in 2010 and 2012, want to make small payments
stretched out over 20 years.

WSJ, citing people familiar with the matter, states that the union
believes that changes proposed by the automakers to the retiree
health care trust were contrary to the requirements that lawmakers
have laid out.

GM, says WSJ, has also had difficulty nailing down terms of a
debt-for-equity swap that bondholders.  According to the report,
people familiar with the matter said that bondholders expressed
frustration with the UAW and some said that the union's leverage
over GM and Chrysler was unfair.  The report quoted the sources as
saying, "There is a growing sense that they may not be much worse
off in bankruptcy.  Talks have gone almost nowhere (and
bondholders) don't know what the company is going to be worth and
they feel the company is siding with the union."

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 3, 2008,
Dominion Bond Rating Service downgraded the ratings of Chrysler
LLC, including Chrysler's Issuer Rating to CC from CCC (high).
Chrysler's First Lien Secured Credit Facility and Second Lien
Secured Credit Facility have also been downgraded to CCC and CC
(low) respectively.  All trends are Negative.  The ratings action
reflects Chrysler's challenge to maintain sufficient liquidity
balances amid severe industry conditions that have deteriorated
alarmingly over the past few months and are not expected to
improve in the near term.  With this ratings action, Chrysler is
removed from Under Review with Negative Implications, where it was
placed on Nov. 7, 2008.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 11, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Chrysler
LLC, including the corporate credit rating, to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.

On July 31, 2008, TCR said that Fitch Ratings 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 market.

As reported in the TCR on Dec. 3, 2008, Dominion Bond Rating
Service downgraded on Nov. 20, 2008, the ratings of Chrysler LLC,
including Chrysler's Issuer Rating to CC from CCC (high).
Chrysler's First Lien Secured Credit Facility and Second Lien
Secured Credit Facility have also been downgraded to CCC and CC
(low) respectively.  All trends are Negative.  The ratings action
reflects Chrysler's challenge to maintain sufficient liquidity
balances amid severe industry conditions that have deteriorated
alarmingly over the past few months and are not expected to
improve in the near term.  With this ratings action, Chrysler is
removed from Under Review with Negative Implications, where it was
placed on Nov. 7, 2008.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

impact the company's ratings or outlook (including its B3
corporate family rating and negative outlook).

family rating was downgraded to B3 from B1 and a negative outlook
was assigned.

CONNECTICUT OPERA: Shuts Doors; Won't File for Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that the Connecticut Opera has
closed.

The Hartford Courant relates that the Connecticut Opera board
Chairperson John Kreitler said that group won't file for
bankruptcy because that would cost too much, and that opera
officials are working with creditors to resolve debts.  "It's
worse than sad, it's a shame.  It's just another casualty of the
economic conditions," The AP quoted Mr. Kreitler as saying.

According to The AP, the Connecticut Opera board president Brooks
Joslin said that the company decided to close two weeks ago.  The
AP relates that the Connecticut Opera's bank account was frozen.
The Connecticut Opera, says the report, no longer has funding
sources after its November production of "Don Giovanni" at the
Palace Theater in Waterbury got poor attendance.

The AP states that the Connecticut Opera closed its Hartford
office, laid off staff members, and told its 2,000 subscribers
that they won't be getting their money back on these canceled
productions: "Daughter of the Regiment" in March and "La Boheme"
in May.

CORN BELT: Illinois Regulators Appoint FDIC as Receiver
-------------------------------------------------------
Corn Belt Bank and Trust Company, based in Pittsfield, Illinois,
was closed on Fri., Feb. 13, 2009, by the Division of Banking,
Illinois Department of Financial Regulation, which appointed the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.  To
protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with The Carlinville National Bank,
Carlinville, Illinois, to assume all of the deposits of Corn Belt
Bank and Trust Company.

Due to the observance of Presidents' Day on Mon., Feb. 16, 2009,
Corn Belt Bank and Trust Company's two offices will reopen on
Tues., Feb. 17, 2009, as branches of The Carlinville National
Bank.  Depositors of Corn Belt Bank and Trust Company will
automatically become depositors of The Carlinville National Bank.
Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC.

As of Dec. 31, 2008, Corn Belt Bank and Trust Company had total
assets of approximately $271.8 million and total deposits of
$234.4 million.  The Carlinville National Bank will pay the FDIC a
premium of 1.75 percent.

The Carlinville National Bank will not assume $92 million in
brokered deposits held by Corn Belt Bank and Trust Company.  The
FDIC will pay the brokers directly for the amount of their insured
funds.  Customers who placed money with brokers should contact
them directly for more information about the status of their
deposits.

Customers who would like more information about this transaction
can also visit the FDIC's Web site at:

    http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/cornbelt.html

In addition to assuming all of the deposits of Corn Belt Bank and
Trust Company, The Carlinville National Bank agreed to purchase
approximately $60.7 million in assets, comprised mainly of cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities.  The FDIC will retain
the remaining assets for later disposition.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $100 million.  The Carlinville National Bank's acquisition
of all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the
FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund compared to alternatives.  Corn Belt
Bank and Trust Company is the twelfth bank to fail in the nation
this year.  The last bank to fail in Illinois was National Bank of
Commerce, Berkeley, on Jan. 16, 2009.

In January 2009, Weiss Ratings assigned its E- rating to
Pittsfield-Ill.-based Corn Belt Bank and Trust Company.  Weiss
said that the institution currently demonstrates what it considers
to be significant weaknesses and has also failed some of the basic
tests Weiss uses to identify fiscal stability.  "Even in a
favorable economic environment," Weiss says, "it is our opinion
that depositors or creditors could incur significant risks."

Corn Belt Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve.  Deposits
have been insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
since the financial institution was established on Oct. 25, 1946.

DB ISLAMORADA: May Sell Furniture and Furnishings at Auction
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida
granted on Jan. 30, 2009, DB Islamorada, LLC authority to sell at
an auction various furniture and furnishings which were purchased
for a condominium hotel which it is developing in Islamorada,
Monroe County, Florida.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 22, 2008,
DFS International offered to purchase the property for $100,000.

                        About DB Islamorada

Miami, Florida-based DB Islamorada LLC in developing a condominium
hotel in Islamorada, Monroe County, Florida.  The company filed
for Chapter 11 relief on on Nov. 29, 2007 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case
No. 07-20537).  Andrew D. McNamee, Esq., and Patricia A. Redmond,
Esq., at Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff and Sitterson,
P.A, represent the Debtor as counsel.  In its schedules, the
Debtor listed total assets of $28,236,009 and total debts of
$27,546,060.


DELPHI CORP: Salaried Retirees Object to Health Benefit Cutoff
--------------------------------------------------------------
Various retirees have submitted objections to the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York relating to Delphi's
request to terminate health benefits for salaried retired workers.

According to Bloomberg's Bill Rochelle, one of the 30 letters
submitted was from a couple, who explained how they had a combined
65 years of service with General Motors Corp. and Delphi.  They
were fired during the bankruptcy and are too young to qualify for
Medicare.  To compound their problems, they can't move because
they put their Michigan home on the market a year ago and are yet
to receive an offer, the report adds.

Delphi's counsel, John Wm. Butler, Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, has said that Delphi
will save $70 million a year if the identified employee programs
are eliminated.  He added that $1.1 billion in balance sheet
liability would be eliminated from the Debtors' reorganization
balance sheet if insurance and medical benefits were eliminated.
Assuming an April 1, 2009 effective date, it is anticipated that
upon effectiveness of the proposed terminations there will be cash
savings to the Debtors of $200,000,000 from 2009 through 2011 as
well as the elimination of balance sheet liabilities exceeding
$1.1 billion, he notes.

In its request for approval of the termination of the employee
programs, Mr. Butler informed the Court that the total enterprise
value of the company now "may be equivalent to, or even less than,
the amount of the debtor's post-petition obligations including"
bank loans.

Delphi Corp., in May 2008, sued Appaloosa and other parties in
light of their refusal to comply with their prior agreement to
provide US$2,550,000,000 in equity exit financing to Delphi.
Appaloosa's termination of their Equity Purchase and Commitment
Agreement stalled the consummation of Delphi's Plan of
Reorganization, which was confirmed by the Court January 25,
2008, and kept Delphi in Chapter 11.  Delphi, on October 3, filed
modifications to their Plan of Reorganization, which would allow
Delphi to exit Chapter 11 regardless of the outcome of their
lawsuit for specific performance by the Plan Investors.  The
Modified Plan does not require equity exit financing from the Plan
Investors, and only contemplates a US$3.75 billion of funded
emergence capital through a combination of term bank debt and
rights to purchase equity in Reorganized Delphi.  The Modified
Plan also requires more funding by General Motors Corp.

However, according to Mr. Butler, Delphi is engaged in discussions
with their stakeholders to formulate further plan modifications
consistent with the timetable agreed in the accommodation
agreement -- although its $4.35 billion DIP facility has expired,
the accommodation agreement allowed Delphi to retain the proceeds
of drawn amounts under the DIP facility until June 30, 2009,
subject to various conditions.

The Debtors are making further revisions to their business plan
consistent with the extremely low volume production environment in
the global automotive industry and depressed global capital and
equity markets.  "Although no formal valuation of the revised
business plan has been completed, it is anticipated that the total
business enterprise value associate with the revised business plan
will be substantially below the valuation range contained in the
Plan Modification Motion and may be equivalent to or even less
than, the amount of the Debtors' postpetition obligations
including the Debtors' DIP credit facility."

Seider, Esq., and Mark A. Broude, Esq., at Latham & Watkins LLP,
represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of
June 30, 2008, the Debtors' balance sheet showed US$9,162,000,000
in total assets and US$23,742,000,000 in total debts.

The Court approved Delphi's First Amended Joint Disclosure
Statement and related solicitation procedures for the
solicitation of votes on the First Amended Plan on Dec. 20,
2007.  The Court confirmed the Debtors' First Amended Plan on
Jan. 25, 2008.  The Plan has not been consummated after a group
led by Appaloosa Management, L.P., backed out from their
proposal to provide US$2,550,000,000 in equity financing to
Delphi.

DOLLAR THRIFTY: Amends Credit Agreement to Reduce Outstanding LOC
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On February 4, 2009, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., said
that it has obtained approval from the rating agencies and the
monoline insurers of its medium-term note programs to eliminate
the requirement that the Company maintain a specific percentage of
the value of its vehicle inventory under manufacturer guaranteed
repurchase or depreciation programs.  Under the previous terms of
the MTN programs, the Company was not permitted to have more than
75 percent of the net book value of its vehicle inventory
comprised of non-program, or risk, vehicles.  The Company will now
be able to maintain a fleet comprised of 100 percent risk
vehicles, while retaining the ability to purchase GDP vehicles at
its discretion to meet seasonal demand and allow flexibility in
its de-fleeting cycle.

"With this amendment, the Company obtains maximum flexibility in
purchasing vehicles.  We will be able to make fleet purchase
decisions based on the most favorable purchase economics available
in a rapidly changing market place, rather than a predetermined
mix of GDP and risk vehicles.  Additionally, this amendment allows
us the flexibility to reduce our credit exposure to the residual
value guarantees provided by the vehicle manufacturers during an
uncertain time in our economy," said Scott Thompson, President and
Chief Executive Officer.

The Company also announced that in conjunction with the approval
of the above amendment by the enhancement letter of credit issuer
under its senior secured credit facility, the Company also amended
its credit facility.  The Company permanently reduced the maximum
outstanding enhancement letters of credit with respect to its
commercial paper and MTN programs by $50 million to
$148 million, and made a corresponding reduction in its revolving
credit facility that permanently reduced the total revolving loan
and letter of credit commitment to $290 million.

"The reduction in the revolving loan and letter of credit
commitments is part of the overall process of right-sizing our
business to adapt to the current economic climate.  We have
already taken the necessary steps to reduce our overhead costs and
vehicle fleet levels to meet expected demand in 2009.  This
capacity reduction will further reduce the interest costs
associated with maintaining unused capacity for enhancement
letters of credit that exceeded the level required to support our
expected fleet financing structures.  These amendments are a win-
win for the lenders and the Company, and we believe demonstrate
our ability to work together on business issues of this nature,"
said Thompson.

                       Ford Supply Agreement

On February 11, 2009, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group said that it
has executed a secondary vehicle supply agreement with Ford Motor
Company that will allow the Company to source a portion of its
annual vehicle purchases through Ford until August 2012.  The
multi-year agreement will supplement the Company's primary supply
agreement with the Chrysler Corporation. Purchases will begin with
the 2009 model year.

"We are pleased to have Ford as a long-term supplier.  As we work
to satisfy our customers' varied rental needs, this agreement
provides us access to a broader array of product offerings, such
as long wheel based vans.  Additionally, it provides us a solid
secondary source for program vehicles," said Scott L. Thompson,
President and Chief Executive Officer.

Currently, the Company's primary vehicle supply agreement with
Chrysler -- which remains in effect through the 2011 model year --
requires the Company to purchase at least 75 percent of its
vehicles from Chrysler to obtain certain agreed upon volume
incentive payments.

Default Rating to Caa2 from B3.  The outlook is negative and the
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating remains SGL-4.  The downgrade,
Moody's said, reflects the severe downturn in the on-airport car

EDUCATE INC: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Educate, Inc.'s corporate
family and probability-of-default ratings to B2 from B1, but
affirmed the Ba2 rating on the first lien senior secured credit
facilities and the B3 rating on the second lien term loan.  The
ratings downgrade reflects the company's weak operating
performance for the September 2008 quarter and Moody's expectation
for continued pressure on the business due to the discretionary
nature of its services.  In Moody's opinion these pressures,
combined with a decreasing cash balance and covenant step-downs,
increase the company's vulnerability to a potential financial
covenant violation.  Notwithstanding these concerns, the rating
considers the additional debt reduction that has occurred since
the large paydown associated with the sale of the Catapult
Learning business in March 2008 that has prevented a deterioration
in credit metrics.  Additionally, Sylvan enrollments and European
segment sales continue to hold up well.

These ratings were downgraded:

  -- Corporate Family Rating to B2 from B1;
  -- Probability-of-Default Rating to B2 from B1;

These ratings were affirmed:

  -- $15 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
     2012 at Ba2 (LGD2, 21%). Point estimate revised from (LGD2,
     24%);

  -- $87 million first lien term loan B due 2013 at Ba2 (LGD2,
     21%). Point estimate revised from (LGD2, 24%);

  -- $75 million second lien term loan due 2014 at B3 (LGD5,
     73%).  Point estimate revised from (LGD5, 75%).

The negative outlook continues to reflect Moody's concern that a
weak consumer spending environment will continue to pressure the
results of the core Sylvan franchise business given the
discretionary nature of its services and reduced credit
availability.

The last rating action was on June 20, 2008 when Moody's affirmed
Educate's B1 corporate family rating, but revised its ratings
outlook to negative from stable.

Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Educate, Inc. is a leading
education services company for students ranging from pre-
kindergarten through high school.  The company's portfolio of
brands includes Sylvan Learning Centers, Schulerhilfe, and Ivy
West.


ENTERCOM RADIO: Moody's Withdraws Ratings for Business Reasons
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew all ratings for Entercom Radio
LLC for business reasons.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Withdrawn, previously rated B1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Withdrawn, previously rated
     B1

  -- Senior Subordinated Bonds, Withdrawn, previously rated B3,
     LGD6, 94%

  -- Outlook, Changed To Rating Withdrawn From Negative

The last rating action for Entercom was on October 17, 2008, when
Moody's lowered Entercom's corporate family rating to B1 from Ba3.
Entercom Communications Corp., headquartered in Bala Cynwyd,
Pennsylvania, operates over 100 radio stations clustered in 23
markets across the country.  Its revenue for the twelve months
ending September 30, 2008, was $455 million.


EQUAN REALTY: Taps Fox Rothschild LLP as General Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------
Equan Realty Corp. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York for authority to employ Fox Rothschild LLP as
its general counsel, nun pro tunc to Feb. 12, 2009.

As the Debtor's general counsel, Fox Rothschild is expected to:

(a) assist, advise and represent the Debtor in its
     administration of the Debtor's estate;

(b) assist, advise and represent the Debtor in analyzing its
     assets and liabilities, investigating the extent and
     validity of liens and participating in and reviewing any
     proposed asset sales or dispositions;

(c) attend meetings and negotiate with the representatives of
     creditors, lessors and other parties in interests;

(d) take all necessary action to protect and preserve the
     interests of the Debtor and its estate, including, without
     limitation, the prosecution of actions on its behalf,
     negotiations concerning all litigation in which the
     Debtor's estate is involved, and review and analysis of all
     claims filed against the Debtor's estate;

(e) generally prepare on behalf of the Debtor all necessary
     motions, applications, answers, orders, reports and papers
     in support of positions taken by the Debtor;

(f) investigate the conduct of the Debtor's secured lenders and
     determine the extent, validity and priority of all liens
     against the Debtor's real property;

(g) appear, as appropriate, before this Court, the Appellate
     Courts, and other Courts in which matters may be heard and
     to protect the interests of the Debtor's estate before said
     Courts; and

(h) perform all other necessary or appropriate legal services in
     this case.

On Feb. 12, 2009, Fox received a $15,000 retainer from the Debtor.

Fred Stevens, Esq., a partner at Fox Rothschild LLP, assures the
Court that the firm does not hold any interest adverse to the
Debtors or its estate, and that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as that term is defined in Sec. 101(14) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

As compensation for their services, Fox Rothschild's professionals
currently bill:

                             Hourly Rate
                             -----------
     Fred Stevens, Esq.         $395
     Partners                 $300-$580
     Associates               $215-$440
     Paralegals               $100-$235
     Legal Assistants          $95-$140

Fox Rothschild replaces Michael H. Schwartz & Associates, P.C. as
the Debtor's counsel.  The Court approved the Schartz Firm's
retention on Nov. 20, 2008.  On Dec. 10, 2008, the Schwartz Firm
filed an application with this Court ex parte, seeking to be
relieved as counsel to the Debtor, citing a number of disputes
including an inability to communicate with the Debtor's president,
Earl Martin.  On Dec. 23, 2008, the Court granted the application
and relieved the Schwartz Firm as counsel.  The Debtor relates
that it is currently investigating the Schwartz Firm's conduct to
determine whether causes exists to seek a return of some or all of
the retainer paid to the Schwartz Firm, and/or the payment of
additional damages.

Based in New York City, Equan Realty Corp. filed for Chapter 11
relief on Oct. 14, 2008 (Bankr. S.D. N.Y. Case No. 08-14017).
When the Debtor filed for protection from its creditors, it listed
total assets of $10,755,997, and total debts of $5,884,523.


FALCON AIRLINK: Tough Economy Pushes Bankruptcy Filing
------------------------------------------------------
ABC 13 reports that Falcon Airlink has gone bankrupt, blaming lost
revenue and the tough economy for its collapse.

According to ABC 13, Falcon Airlink, which was located at
Asheville Regional Airport, closed earlier this month.  Students
claim that the school told them it was being relocated, say the
report.  Days later, the students received an e-mail informing
them of Falcon Airlink's closing, the report states.

ABC 13 relates that the students are demanding answers after
losing thousands of dollars.  Deanna Linke, one of the students,
had transferred more than $12,000 of a Salley Mae loan to her
school account, ABC 13 states.  ABC 13 reports that Falcon Airlink
owners Bryan and Angie Neal are now claiming in bankruptcy court
that all the money is gone.

Falcon Airlink said in a statement that no time was there any
attempt or intent to deceive or mislead students or employees.

Falcon Airlink is a flight school.

The Forbearance Agreement was subsequently amended by the parties

Forbearance Agreement (effective as of February 4) to provide that
(i) the forbearance period be extended to February 18, (ii) the

Gary Armitage has filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California,
PressDemocrat.com reports.

Court documents say that Mr. Armitage listed $50 million to
$100 million in liabilities.  Mr. Armitage, PressDemocrat.com
states, disclosed $1 million to $10 million in assets.

According to PressDemocrat.com, dozens of investors will sue
Mr. Armitage for allegedly defrauding them of tens of millions of
dollars.  The report says that the state Attorney General's Office
is investigating the matter.

PressDemocrat.com relates that the Department of Justice
investigators have dealt with more than 2,000 complaints against
Mr. Armitage, his former partner Jeff Guidi, and Redding real
estate investor James Koenig.  According to the report, investors
claimed that Messrs. Armitage, Guidi, and Koenig operated a
"classic Ponzi scheme," a form of financial fraud designed to lure
in new investors by promising unrealistically high returns.

Mr. Armitage closed his company, AGA Financial, in September 2008
and put his $2.5 million Healdsburg home and his castle in the
mountains outside Redding up for sale, PressDemocrat.com reports.

PressDemocrat.com states that former Marin residents Bonnie and
Monty Morrissey won an uncontested $312,704 judgment against Mr.
Armitage in Sonoma County Superior Court in January 2009.  The
report quoted Jeff Terry, a Santa Rosa attorney who represents
another investor in a case against Mr. Armitage as saying, "That
may be part of the reason he filed for bankruptcy, he wanted to
protect himself."  Mr. Armitage, according to the report, listed
the Morrisseys, Messers. Guidi and Koenig, and Bud and Noona
Merrill as creditors in his bankruptcy filing.

PressDemocrat.com says that Mr. Armitage's other creditors include
officials at ePlanning -- the Roseville-based stock brokerage that
licensed Mr. Armitage to sell securities -- Bank of America,
Chase, and several smaller banks.

Court documents say that Mr. Armitage took a credit counseling
class on December 17.

Russell Marne represents Mr. Armitage in the case,
PressDemocrat.com reports.

PressDemocrat.com reports that Jeremy Armitage, an investment
adviser and Mr. Armitage's son, was supposed to help manage the
accounts of hundreds of AGA Financial clients after his father
lost his broker's license.  Jeremy, and his wife, Mani, filed for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy on January 30, says PressDemocrat.com.
Michael Fallon, Jeremy's attorney, said that a meeting of
creditors will be held on March 4, according to the report.

Gary Armitage is a 57-year-old Healdsburg resident.  He is a Santa
Rosa financial adviser and the one-time owner of AGA Financial.

                       Going Concern Doubt

Eisner LLP, in New York, expressed substantial doubt about General
DataComm Industries Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Sept. 30, 2007.

As of Sept. 30, 2008, the company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $8,422,000 and total liabilities of $42,774,000,
resulting in total stockholders' deficit of $34,352,000.
Management noted that the company's financial statements for
fiscal 2008 have not yet been audited.  The company has limited
financial resources and had been negotiating audit fees with its
audit firm.  The negotiations delayed the start of the fiscal 2008
audit and on January 5, 2009, the audit firm terminated its audit
relationship with the company.  The predecessor audit firm had not
commenced its audit of the company's 2008 year-end financial
statements, but had completed its reviews of the company's
condensed financial statements included in Form 10-Q for each of
the first three quarters of fiscal 2008.  The company is in the
process of appointing new auditors.  The predecessor audit firm's
report on the company's fiscal 2007 financial statements is
expected to be reissued in connection with the completion of the
audit of the company's fiscal 2008 financial statements.


GENERAL MOTORS: May Seek Gov't Financial Backing for Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. will ask the government to commit billions
more in bailout money to fund the company's operations, or provide
financial backing as part of a bankruptcy filing, John D. Stoll
and Sharon Terlep at The Wall Street Journal report, citing people
familiar with the matter.

According to WSJ, the sources said that GM will propose the two
alternatives in the viability plan due this month.

According to WSJ, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Financial
Services Chairperson Barney Frank sent a letter to GM and Chrysler
LLC on Friday, laying out expectations for the viability plans and
asking that the plans demonstrate "a commitment that the
sacrifices necessary to turn the industry around will be shared
equitably by all stakeholders" and "a demonstrated commitment to
restructure your company's debt in a manner that protects the
interests of the taxpayers."

WSJ, citing the sources, states that the Treasury Department
believes that GM needs at least $5 billion more in U.S. loans to
continue operating beyond the first quarter.  WSJ relates that if
the government refuses to provide additional financial support to
GM in addition to the $13.4 billion already committed, the company
might file for bankruptcy.  The sources, according to WSJ, said
that GM believes that government funds would be needed for debtor-
in-possession financing should it file for bankruptcy, because
such money wouldn't be available from private sources.

People familiar with the matter said that GM chairperson and CEO
Rick Wagoner, who once opposed a bankruptcy filing, has become
influential in shaping the plan for a possible filing, WSJ states.
According to WSJ, GM's board started to seriously consider
bankruptcy in November 2008 as the firm's liquidity headed toward
unsustainable levels.  In December 2008, Mr. Wagoner hired
bankruptcy lawyers and advisers to start preparing a contingency
plan, said people familiar with the matter, WSJ relates, citing
people familiar with the matter.

Under bankruptcy, GM might assemble its viable assets, including
some U.S. brands and international operations, into a new company,
while the undesirable assets would be liquidated or sold under
protection of a bankruptcy court, WSJ relates.  According to the
report, contracts with bondholders, unions, dealers, and suppliers
would also be amended.

Bankruptcy reorganization is the surest way for GM to cut costs
and become viable, WSJ says, citing some experts and members of
the Congress.

GM's plan will include broad restructuring targets, including more
than 10 plant closures in North America, WSJ says.  It will
include updates on talks with unions and bondholders related to
concessions and an expected request for leeway on when it can
provide specific details about what cuts the two parties are
willing to make, WSJ relates.

                Union & Bondholder Talks Ongoing

WSJ relates that GM's talks with unions and bondholders haven't
yet produced commitments to concrete concessions as required by
terms of the federal loans.  Progress on the negotiations has been
slowed because the Obama administration has yet to appoint a "car
czar," as envisioned by the bailout program, the report states,
citing people familiar with the matter.  The report says that
union members are also frustrated over the amount of sacrifice
they are being asked to take, compared to other stakeholders like
dealers and even asbestos litigants.  GM may seek permission to
extend the March 31 deadline to complete certain restructuring
actions by at least several months, according to the report.

WSJ reports that United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger
has been asking the government for more time to negotiate with the
auto makers.  People familiar with the matter said that Mr.
Gettelfinger also hopes that the government will take
responsibility for some of GM's $47 billion in retiree health care
obligations, WSJ states.

WSJ reports that GM received a tax break of $3 billion, as part of
President Obama's economic stimulus plan.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 11, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings, including
the corporate credit rating, on General Motors Corp. to 'CCC+'
from 'B-' and removed them from CreditWatch, where they had been
placed with negative implications on Oct. 9, 2008.  S&P said that
the outlook is negative.

Fitch Ratings, as reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on
Nov. 11, 2008, placed the Issuer Default Rating of General Motors
on Rating Watch Negative as a result of the company's rapidly
diminishing liquidity position.  Given the current liquidity level
of US$16.2 billion and the pace of negative cash flows, Fitch
expects that GM will require direct federal assistance over the
next quarter and the forbearance of trade creditors in order to
avoid default.  With virtually no further access to external
capital and little potential for material asset sales, cash
holdings are expected to shortly reach minimum required operating
levels.  Fitch placed these on Rating Watch Negative:

  -- Senior secured at 'B/RR1';
  -- Senior unsecured at 'CCC-/RR5'.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 24, 2008,
DBRS has placed the ratings of General Motors Corp. 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.

GREATER OHIO ETHANOL: Paladin Capital May Acquire Plant
-------------------------------------------------------
The Lima News reports that the Hon. Mary Ann Whipple of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio is expected to
approve the sale of the Greater Ohio Ethanol plant to Paladin
Capital Group during a hearing on Wednesday.

According to Lima News, Judge Whipple delayed approving the sale
on Wednesday while attorneys for the plant and its creditors draft
a final sale order.  Tim Hurley, the attorney for Greater Ohio
Ethanol, said that Paladin Capital's role as investor and the
people who talked lead creditor SunTrust into investing more than
$80 million into the failed project worked against them in the
bidding process, Lima News states.

Paladin Capital, says Lima News, helped built the plant.
According to Lima News, Paladin Capital put together about
$145 million in debt and equity financing to launch the
construction of the plant two years ago.  The report states that
Paladin Capital has offered to purchase the plant for
$5.75 million in cash and has pledged to pay a little more than
$15 million more in the future.

Lima News quoted Mr. Hurley as saying, "That there is a buyer who
put $80 [million] to $90 million in and now walks away with a
fraction of that and now they're going to sell it to the original
owner for a fraction of that, as you can imagine, that caused some
stress.  It was not an easy pill to swallow."

Lima News relates that Mr. Hurley admitted that the Paladin
Capital seems like a slight bid, but is the strongest chance the
plant will be back in operation.  "The result of this sale is, we
believe, an operational plant.  The buyer is an entity that knows
this facility well, which lost a lot of its own money in the
process, but has the wherewithal to put substantial money in this
plant," the report quoted Mr. Hurley as saying.  According to the
report, Mr. Hurley said that Greater Ohio Ethanol will pay for the
estimated $10 million to $25 million in repairs needed to get the
facility running correctly.

Paladin Capital could rehire former workers to help operate the
plant, Lima News says, citing Mr. Hurley.

      bid for the purchase of the Asset and (ii)  $1,000,000.  It
      is understood and agreed that a separate fee will be
      payable in respect of each Asset Sale Transaction or
      Liquidation Asset Sale Transaction in the event that more
      than one such transaction will occur, provided that the
      fees payable in connection with such series of Asset Sale
      Transactions or Liquidation Asset Sale Transactions will
      not exceed the greater of (i) 1.75% of the aggregate
      Transaction Value in the series of transactions and (ii)
      $2,500,000.

   d. Restructuring Fee.  In addition to the foregoing Monthly
      Fees, the Debtors will pay a fee of $2,000,000 in cash upon
      consummation of a Restructuring Transaction.  The
      Restructuring Fee will be paid immediately upon the
      consummation of a Restructuring Transaction; provided,
      however, that in connection with a Restructuring
      Transaction that is consummated in connection with a pre-
      packaged plan of reorganization in a Bankruptcy Case, the
      Restructuring Fee will be earned and paid by the Debtors
      prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case.  To the
      extent a Sale Transaction, Asset Sale Transaction Fee or
      Capital Transaction Fee is paid, the Restructuring Fee will
      be reduced by the aggregate amount of any Sale Transaction
      Fees, Asset Sale Transaction Fees and Capital Transaction
      Fees paid by the Debtors, but in no event will the
      Restructuring Fee be reduced by more than $2,000,000.

   e. Capital Transaction Fee.  In addition to the foregoing
      Monthly Fees, the Debtors will pay Moelis a fee in cash
      upon consummation of a Capital Transaction, in an amount
      equal to (i) 3.5% of the aggregate amount of new debt
      obligations raised in a Capital Transaction, and (ii) 5.0%
      of the aggregate amount or face value of new capital raised
      in a Capital Transaction in the form of equity, equity-
      linked securities, options, warrants or other rights to
      acquire equity interests of the Debtors.  The Capital
      Transaction Fee will be paid immediately upon the closing
      of each Capital Transaction; provided, however, that in
      connection with a Capital Transaction consummated in
      connection with a pre-packaged plan of reorganization in a
      Bankruptcy Case, the Capital Transaction Fee will be earned
      and paid by the Debtors prior to the commencement of the
      Bankruptcy Case. It is understood and agreed that a
      separate Capital Transaction Fee will be payable in respect
      of each Capital Transaction in the event that more than one
      Capital Transaction will occur.

   f. Expenses.  Reimbursement of 100% of all reasonable expenses
      incurred by Moelis in connection with performing services
      under the Engagement Letter.

Mr. Viellieu added that on Dec. 9, 2008, the Debtors paid Moelis a
$100,000 retainer and agreed to pay other fees for completion of a
selling memo and consummation of a placement of debt or equity
securities, as discussed in the Viellieu Verified Statement.  As
of the Petition Date, Moelis does not hold a prepetition claim
against the Debtors for services rendered.

Mr. Viellieu assured the Court that Moelis is a "disinterested
person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

HEALTHEAST CARE: Moody's Cuts Rating on $273.9 Mil. Notes to Ba1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba1 from Baa3 rating
assigned to HealthEast's $273.9 million of outstanding debt.  The
outlook is stable.  The downgrade is based on the cumulative
effect of an anticipated decline in both financial performance due
to strategic investments for quality initiatives and cash assets
that has returned HealthEast to a below investment grade rating
category.  The currently modest level of cash has been exasperated
by market conditions and returns the system to fiscal 2004 levels
of liquidity.

HealthEast operates 519 staffed beds at three acute care hospitals
in downtown St. Paul (St. Joe's), Maplewood (St. John's) and
Woodbury (Woodwinds), as well as a 140-bed long term acute care
hospital, an outpatient diagnostic imaging site and two outpatient
surgery sites.  The system also employs approximately 120 primary
care physicians at 13 locations.

Legal Security: The bonds are secured by a gross revenue pledge
from the Obligated Group, which includes HealthEast's three acute
care hospitals, the long term acute hospital and the parent,
representing the vast majority of total system cash flow.  A
mortgage is included on all of the obligated group properties.

Interest Rate Derivatives: none

Challenges

* Decline in liquidity to $101 million (47 days) from peak levels
  at FYE 2007 of $133.0 million (69 days) is expected to be
  maintained at this level over the immediate term, effectively
  eliminating the balance sheet gains achieved with the
  sale/leaseback transaction during 3Q05 which boosted cash by
  $37.6 million.  Market conditions and capital spending have
  contributed to a reduction in cash reserves that is inadequate
  for a system of this size at the investment grade level. Cash
  declined further to $95.6 million (43 days) as of December 31,
  2008.  Management has articulated to Moody's that it will
  reduce capital spending if operating performance does not meet
  its 1% operating margin target.

* Leveraged balance sheet evidenced by low cash-to-debt ratio
  (36.5%), high debt to cashflow (11.0 times) and weak MADS (1.68
  times) coverage for FY 2008.  MADS coverage was last below 2.0
  times in 2004.

* Operating profits suppressed again in FY2008 by increased
  expenses associated with quality initiatives ($14.1 million
  spent since FY2007) that may provide for potential benefits
  over the longer term.  HealthEast has been cited for its
  quality standards before this recent investment and Moody's is
  uncertain if the benefits of this increased spending, which
  offset profitability and impact cashflow, will deliver a
  measurable payback.

* Competitive pressures derive from a consolidated healthcare
  provider market and intensified physician alignment strategies.

* Transparency of costs in Minnesota has held rate increases to
  modest increases from the three large commercial payers who
  have significant market leverage.  Increased contractual
  allowances for uncompensated care patients therefore makes
  revenue growth highly dependent on volume growth.

* Volume decline through the first quarter of 2009 is material at
  9% compared to prior period and reflects a softening local
  economy.  A new electronic system to monitor available beds
  across the system should help with this monitoring, eliminating
  diverts and maintaining volume through patient transfers within
  the system.  Meeting volume targets is critical to meeting
  budget for 2009.

* According to Moodysinvestors.economy.com, the Minneapolis
  economy has been weakening for the past half year, at a pace
  more or less comparable to that for the nation as a whole.
  Construction and manufacturing employment have continued to
  decline steadily and deeply, and have now been joined by a
  worrisome recent drop in the key professional services industry
  as the corporate offices of Northwest shrink following the
  merger with Delta.  The local unemployment rate, typically one
  half point lower than the U.S. rate has risen sharply, and is
  now nearly 6%.

Strengths

* Multi-year history of profitable operations but noted softening
  of performance levels since peak performance in FY2005 due to
  quality initiatives and flattening volume trends.

* Distributed location of hospitals in St. Paul is a competitive
  advantage with Woodwinds Hospital becoming a strong contributor
  of revenue and cashflow to the system.  Additional beds added
  at Woodwinds contribute to that facility's growing volume and
  medical staff and favorable cashflow trend.

* Construction of new five-story, all private room patient tower
  at St. Joseph's Hospital completed, providing a competitive
  market advantage as the first all private bed hospital in the
  Twin Cities and expectations for improved volume at this
  facility.  Emergency department expansion and renovation to
  begin shortly that will complete the total renovation of this
  facility.

* Debt schedule delays the funding of principal payments until
  FY2012, providing an operating window for additional financial
  flexibility while the system pursues its quality initiatives.
  No additional debt is planned unless sufficient present value
  savings and reduced MADS are achieved.

* Debt is all fixed rate with no derivatives.

* Investment in quality initiatives is expected to improve
  performance over time, gain market share through consumer
  driven plans and aid in recruitment of specialists.

* No major capital projects are planned.

Outlook

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that the system's
financial performance and balance sheet measures will be
maintained at current levels.  Capital plans remains relatively
unchanged and investments in quality initiatives that are expected
to lead to an improved competitive position over the longer term
will limit balance sheet improvement until the intermediate term.

What could change the rating--UP

Improved operating profits, return to peak cash balances from
current levels, evidence of improved market position

What could change the rating--DOWN

Decline in cash balances as expected, deterioration in operating
performance, shift in volume and change in competitive position

The last rating action was on December 12, 2007 when the rating of
HealthEast Care System was affirmed at Baa3 and the negative
outlook was affirmed.


HUMAN TOUCH: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Ca'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Human Touch LLC's probability
of default rating to Ca from Caa2, corporate family rating to Ca
from Caa3, and the rating on its senior unsecured notes to C from
Caa3.  The ratings outlook is negative. The SGL-4 speculative
grade liquidity rating was affirmed.

The downgrades reflect Moody's view that the probability of Human
Touch defaulting on its obligations over the next twelve months
has materially increased, as the company continues to suffer from
precipitous declines in revenue and profitability due to a sharp
drop in discretionary consumer spending.  The ratings also reflect
Moody's view for below average recovery in a default scenario.
Further, Human Touch's liquidity is weak, as reflected in the SGL-
4 liquidity rating, due to a likely need to seek near-term
covenant relief and renew/extend its revolving credit facility
that expires March 31, 2009.

The ratings outlook is negative, reflecting Moody's expectation
for continued weak operating performance and liquidity through
2009.  The outlook also reflects Moody's view that Human Touch's
capital structure is unsustainable in this weak environment, with
a high probability of default over the near term.

Ratings lowered:

  -- Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa3
  -- Probability of Default Rating to Ca from Caa2
  -- Senior unsecured notes to C (LGD5, 80%) from Caa3 (LGD5,
     79%)

Ratings affirmed:

  -- Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL-4

The ratings outlook is negative.

The previous rating action for Human Touch LLC was on May 21,
2008, when Moody's downgraded the company's corporate family
rating to Caa3 with a negative outlook.

Human Touch LLC, (operating subsidiary of Interactive Health,
Inc.) located in Long Beach, California, is a producer and
marketer of robotic massage chairs, zero-gravity chairs and
massage products.  Sales for the twelve month period ended
September 30, 2008 were about $80 million.

IRVINE SENSORS: Signs Subscription Agreement With 5 Investors
-------------------------------------------------------------
On February 3, 2009, Irvine Sensors Corporation entered into a
Subscription Agreement with five accredited individual investors,
pursuant to which the Company expanded its private placement that
was previously disclosed on November 10, 2008, in a closing of the
issuance of secured promissory notes in the original aggregate
principal amount of $182,000 and, as consideration for making the
advances under the Notes, agreed to issue to the Investors an
aggregate of 113,750 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration.  The number of Shares
being issued equals 25% of the principal amount of the Notes
divided by $0.40.

The Notes bear interest at 12.0% per annum and will mature and
become payable 6 months following their issuance.  All amounts
payable under the Notes are accelerated upon the occurrence of
certain bankruptcy-related events.  The Notes are secured by a
security agreement in substantially all of the Company's assets
and such security interest is senior to certain obligations of the
Company to Longview Fund, LP, and Alpha Capital Anstalt pursuant
to an intercreditor agreement and collateral agent agreement.

In consideration for services rendered as the lead placement agent
in the Private Placement, the Company issued to J.P. Turner &
Company, LLC, a five-year warrant to purchase 59,150 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share,
which represents 13% of the gross proceeds divided by $0.40.  JP
Turner also will receive, in consideration for services rendered
as lead placement agent, (i) cash commissions aggregating $14,560,
which represents 8% of the gross proceeds, (ii) a management fee
of $3,640, which represents 2% of the gross proceeds and (iii) an
expense allowance fee of $5,460, which represents 3% of the gross
proceeds.

The Company has not granted registration rights with respect to
the Shares or the JP Warrant.  The proceeds from the Private
Placement will be used to finance the working capital needs of the
Company.  The Company had 5,641,792 shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Private Placement.

systems applications.

As of September 28, 2008, the company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $22,884,000 and total liabilities of $31,343,200,
resulting in total stockholders' deficit of $8,459,200.

Grant Thornton LLP in Irvine, California, in a letter dated
January 9, 2009, pointed out that the company incurred net losses
of $21.6 million, $22.1 million, and $8.4 million for the years
ended September 28, 2008, September 30, 2007 and October 1, 2006,
respectively, and the company has a working capital deficit of
$16.1 million at September 28, 2008.  "These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to
continue as a going concern."

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on Jan. 21, 2009, that
Irvine Sensors Corporation received a written notice from
The Nasdaq Stock Market on January 14, 2009, indicating that the
company failed to comply with the minimum stockholders' equity,
market value and net income from continuing operations
requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace
Rule 4310(c)(3) because the company's stockholders' equity is
below the Nasdaq minimum stockholders' equity listing requirement
of $2,500,000, the market value of the company's listed securities
is below the Nasdaq minimum market value listing requirement of
$35,000,000 and the Company's net income from continuing

IRVINE SENSORS: To File Form 10-Q Report by February 17
-------------------------------------------------------
Irvine Sensors Corporation is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008, within the prescribed
period without unreasonable effort or expense.

"On December 11, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to
sell a substantial number of its patents, the exact list of which
have not yet been finalized, for cash proceeds of up to
$9.5 million and a license back to the Company for worldwide,
royalty-free use of the patented technology, subject to completion
of certain conditions, including obtaining the consent of the
Company's secured lenders to the transaction.  The parties agreed
to use reasonable efforts to close the 2008 Patent Sale and
License within thirty calendar days following the later of
December 11, 2008, or the date on which the last of specified
deliverables was received by the purchaser, but holiday
interruptions delayed such schedule, and there can be no guarantee
that closing will occur on an extended schedule or at all.
Nonetheless, based on the best information available and
considering the materiality of the potential transaction, the
Company devoted significant resources to evaluating possible
disclosures of this pending transaction and its ramifications in
the Form 10-Q to reflect various assumptions as to final terms and
timing of the 2008 Patent Sale and License.  This process
complicated the review of the Form 10-Q, which has necessitated
the additional time to file the Form 10-Q.  The Company intends to
file the Form 10-Q as soon as possible, but in any event plans to
file no later than February 17, 2009," Chief Financial Officer
John J. Stuart, Jr., disclosed in a regulatory filing dated
February 11, 2009.

Southern District of Florida has granted JoyStar/TravelStar's
request to convert its Chapter 7 involuntary liquidation case to
Chapter 11 reorganization.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 5, 2009,
Axelrod, a veteran agent and successful meeting planner, filed an
involuntary Chapter 7 petition against JoyStar/TravelStar.  Mr.
Axelrod, owed $35,491, urged other JoyStar agents to join in the
action.  Mr. Axelrod said that JoyStar owes 15 agents an estimated
$150,000 in unpaid commissions from the company.  According to Mr.
Axelrod, up to 50 agents may be owned as much as $250,000 in
unpaid commissions.

According to Smartbrief.com, the Court allowed Carnival, NCL,
Princess, and Holland America to permit agents to move bookings to
other host agencies.

JoyStar/TravelStar is based in Aliso Viejo, California.


KELLY GEARHART: Files for Chapter 7 Liquidation
-----------------------------------------------
Karen Velie at CAL Coast News reports that Kelly Gearhart and his
wife, Tamara Lowe, have filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio.

Kate Bradley of Akron represents the debtors, says CAL Coast News.

According to CAL Coast News, Mr. Gearhart and Ms. Lowe listed $6.5
million in estimated assets and $45.1 million in estimated debts.
CAL Coast News says that dozens of properties listed in the
bankruptcy petition have values substantially below Mr. Gearhart's
debts.  The report states that Mr. Gearhart's liabilities include:

     -- $5 million owed to First Bank of San Luis Obispo;

     -- $1.7 million owed to San Luis Trust Bank;

     -- $39,421 owed to local attorney firm Adamski, Moroski,
        Madden, and Green;

     -- $11 million owed to Hurst Financial for interest in
        Beacon Road and a parcel on Highway 41;

     -- $6.4 million owed to the Fred Russell Trust; and

     -- a long list of local lending institutions, companies,
        government entities, and individuals.

CAL Coast News relates that more than 600 creditors are listed on
the petition.

Mr. Gearhart, according court documents, said that his LLCs and
corporations "are substantially insolvent and have no realizable
value."  The bankruptcy filing excludes Mr. Gearhart's corporation
and LLC holdings, CAL Coast News reports.

CAL Coast News relates that Hurst Financial Inc. lent Mr. Gearhart
and his holdings more than $70 million -- much of that money went
to Mr. Gearhart through his LLCs and corporations and isn't
included in the bankruptcy filing.  Hurst Financial Inc., the
report says, lent Mr. Gearhart about $26 million on the property
even though it was appraised at only $4.5 million, subjecting
investors, primarily seniors, to millions in personal losses.

CAL Coast News states that that the debtors moved to Wadsworth,
Ohio, in November 2008, after threats of physical violence by an
angry investor.

CAL Coast News reports that David Rios and Murray Powell filed an
11-count lawsuit against Mr. Gearhart and Hurst Financial
principals Jay Miller and Courtney Brard in San Luis Obispo County
Superior Court last year, alleging fraud and civil conspiracy.
Messrs. Rios and Powell claimed that the defendants misled
investors and misappropriated funds, according to the report.
Mr. Gearhart, says the report, had provided Messrs. Rios and
Powell a personal guarantee on the business-related debt.

The FBI is investigating Mr. Gearhart on alleged fraudulent
business activities, CAL Coast News states, citing source.

Kelly Gearhart is a North County developer.

The meeting of creditors of LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. and

of the Bankruptcy Code, has been rescheduled to March 6, 2008, at
10:00 a.m.

The Meeting will be held at the Office of the U.S. Trustee at 701

The Section 341 meeting was originally set for January 23, 2009.

All creditors are invited, but not required, to attend.  The
Meeting of Creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy
proceeding for creditors to question a responsible office of the
Debtor under oath about the company's financial affairs and
operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

          Fidelity Cuts Jobs at Former LandAmerica Units

the end of January 2009, it has eliminated about 1,500of the 5,500

Commonwealth Land, Lawyers Title, and United Capital Title from
LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc.  The closing to the sale of the
Underwriting Companies took place on December 22, 2008.  The job
cuts account for a 27% reduction of the existing workforce.

Fidelity National related that it close about 125 offices of the
Underwriters in the first month of ownership.  The Company noted
that they have eliminated run-rate savings of about $180 million.

Fidelity National intends to continue to evaluate the cost
structure of the acquired Underwriters in the first quarter of
2009.

LANDAMERICA FINANCIAL: Official Exchangers Committee Sought
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
denied a request by an ad hoc group of commingled exchangers for
the U.S. Trustee to appoint an Official Committee of Commingled
Exchangers in the Chapter 11 case of Debtor LandAmerica 1031
Exchange Services, Inc.

The Court denied the Ad Hoc Committee's request without prejudice
to file a similar motion if changes in the case warrant the
filing.

The Ad Hoc Committee is comprised of counsel, who each represent
one or more 1031 exchange participants who are not identified as
those with Segregated Exchange Agreement in a declaration by
Ronald Ramos.  The 1031 participants and their counsel are:

Elizabeth L. Gunn, Esq., at DurretteBradshaw PLC, in Richmond,
Virginia, had argued that while appointment of an additional
official committee may create added expense to LES' case, this
factor is not by itself sufficient to deprive creditors of an
additional committee if one is otherwise appropriate.  "The
appointment of an official commingled exchangers committee will
avoid the Court having to deal with dozens, if not hundreds, of
individual or groups of exchangers; bring order to the current
chaos; and ultimately result in the conservation of estate
resources, even after the committee's professionals are paid from
the estate," she said.

Moreover, Ms. Gunn argued, an even more sufficient basis exists to
support the conclusion that the appointment of an official
committee of commingled exchangers is necessary to ensure adequate
representation for all commingled exchangers -- the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of LES has taken an
opposed position from that of the Commingled Exchangers with
respect to the issue of whether LES holds funds in trust.  LES
and the LES Committee are treating commingled exchangers as a
specific type of "creditor" likely to be put into its own class
in a Chapter 11 Plan.  Clearly, Ms. Gunn argued, the LES
Committee's fiduciary duty to all claimants hinders, if not
prohibits, it from adequately representing the interest of
commingled exchangers.

The Ad Hoc Committee also asked the Court to generally find that
the fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with a
commingled exchanger serving as plaintiff in a Lead Case will make
a substantial contribution to the case and thus, entitle those
fees and expenses to be paid under Sections 503 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

                     Committees Respond

In separate filings, the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors of LES and LandAmerica Financial Group opposed the Ad
Hoc Committee's request.

On behalf of the LES Committee, John H. Maddock III, Esq., at
McGuirewoods LLP, in Richmond, Virginia, said, "There is no
precedent for the pre-approval of plaintiffs' legal fees in
adversary proceedings that we are aware of, and the United States
Trustee has already appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors comprised of exactly the same constituents as the Ad
Hoc Committee here purports to represent."

Granting the fees and expenses request would merely shift fees
and encourage certain plaintiffs to engage in protracted
litigation that seeks to diminish the size of the LES estate at
the estate's own expense, the LES Committee argued.

Moreover, the LES Committee said that the Ad Hoc Committee has
failed to identify any creditor conflicts that differ from those
that exist in every Chapter 11 case, much less establish that
commingled exchangers do not have a sufficient voice on the LES
Committee.

Granting the Ad Hoc Committee's Motion will only result in
duplication of effort and waste of the LES estate's assets,
Christopher L. Perkins, Esq., at LeCairRyan, in Richmond,
Virginia, told the Court, on behalf of the LFG Committee.  There
are already seven different participants in the Lead Cases all of
whom are working on a substantially compressed and expedited
litigation scheduled.  Moreover, he said, payment of the Ad Hoc
Committee's professional fees as an administrative expense will
only further erode LES' estate assets.

                        Alternative Relief

In its ruling, the Court granted the request for an alternative
relief that the professional fees and expenses of a Type A
plaintiff in a Lead Case be treated as administrative expenses.
Counsel for Lead Cases will file applications for employment and
will be required to file applications for fees and expenses as
required by other professionals.

Jay S. Geller, one of the counsels for the Commingled Exchanger
Committee, counsel for LES and counsel for the LES Committee will
confer and endeavor to identify the Type A Plaintiff as promptly
as possible.

LANDAMERICA FINANCIAL: Parties Want Funds at Citibank Transferred
-----------------------------------------------------------------
David J. Ervin, Esq., at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, in Washington,
DC, informs the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia that Debtor LandAmerica 1031 Exchange Services, Inc., is
holding about $40 million for the benefit of Millard Refrigerated
Services, Inc., LUBExpress Operating Company, Inc., LUBExpress
Land Company, Inc., Chino Spectrum Center LLC, and Chino Wings,
LLC, in segregated accounts at Citibank, N.A.  Those amounts are
well above the standard Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insurance limits.

The Creditors are concerned that the national banking crisis has
worsened and that Citibank in particular is experiencing severe
financial distress.  Citibank is also not on the current November
2008 list of depositories approved by the Richmond Virginia
Office of the U.S. Trustee, the Creditors note.

The Creditors thus have serious concerns about the security of
their funds being held at Citibank and therefore, ask the Court
to modify the Original Cash Management Order to require LES to
transfer the funds into safer accounts.

The Creditors want the Funds transferred to separate substitute
accounts that are:

  (x) at a financial institution they will select from the list
      of depositories authorized by the Office of the U.S.
      Trustee;

  (y) at all times segregated and not commingled with any other
      funds or other property of the Debtor or any person or
      entity other than the Creditors; and

  (z) (1) insured for the full amount of the funds by the FDIC
      under its Transaction Account Guarantee Program, or (2)
      held or invested in Treasury bills, Treasury notes,
      Treasury bonds, and Treasury Inflation Protected
      Securities issued by the United States of America.

Mr. Ervin asserts that the Creditors' request is valid as there
is no risk to LES, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
of LES, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of
LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., or any other party-in-interest
because all litigation positions will be preserved as of the
Petition Date and the substitute accounts will continue to be in
LES' name as qualified intermediary for the Creditors' benefit.

The transfer of the Citibank Funds will reduce the risk that
those Funds will be lost or tied up in a potential insolvency of
the Bank and claims that would arise if that happened.

The Debtors did not file an opposition to the Creditors' request
for fund transfer.  Accordingly, the Court grants the fund
transfer request.

               LES Committee Files Similar Motion

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of LandAmerica
1031 Exchange Services, Inc., says LES is holding approximately
$138 million in segregated accounts at Citibank, N.A., with the
amounts at those accounts well-above the standard FDIC insurance
limits.

Accordingly, the LES Committee asks the Court to modify the
Original Cash Management Order to require LES to transfer,
subject to written instructions by the LES Committee, the funds
at Citibank into separate substitute accounts that are:

  (x) at a financial institution selected by LES from the list
      of depositories authorized by the Office of the U.S.
      Trustee;

  (y) at all times segregated and not commingled with any other
      funds or other property of LES; and

  (z) insured for the full amount of the funds by the FDIC under
      its Transaction Account Guarantee Program, and secured in
      the manner and to the extent required by the Depository
      Agreement between the Bank and the Office of the U.S.
      Trustee.  The substitute account will remain in the name
      of LES as qualified intermediary.

LASELL COLLEGE: Moody's Affirms Long-Term Rating at 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Lasell College's Ba1 long-
term rating.  The outlook for the rating remains stable.  The
rating applies to $9.4 million of Series A bonds issued through
the Massachusetts Health and Educational Facilities Authority.
Moody's also rates Lasell College's Series 2006 and Series 2008
bonds issued through the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency
based on support by letters of credit and not based on the
College's underlying credit quality.  The College has a total of
$43.0 million of direct debt, of which $33.1 million is in the
weekly variable rate mode with a tender feature.  In Moody's
opinion, Lasell's dependence on access to letters of credit is a
vulnerability and rapid ratings transition could occur if this
access is lost.

Legal Security: The Series A bonds are a general obligation of the
College, further secured by a lien on Gross Receipts. Pursuant to
an Intercreditor Agreement, the Series A bonds are on parity with
Lasell's Series 2001 bonds, Series 2006 bonds, and Series 2008
bonds and share security provisions.  The Loan and Trust Agreement
requires the College to meet a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25
times (3.19 times at 6/30/2008) and to certify that debt service
coverage including additional bonds will be at least 1.20 times.
The Reimbursement Agreements associated with the letters of credit
supporting the Series 2006 and Series 2008 bonds that are provided
by RBS Citizens, N.A. (rated Aa3/P-1) require Lasell to maintain a
minimum of
$8 million in Unrestricted Investments ($21.6 million at
6/30/2008) and limit annual capital spending not financed by debt
supported by the letters of credit to $2 million.  Both the Loan
and Trust Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreements restrict
pledges on the College's property and assets.

Interest Rate Derivatives: Lasell is party to four floating-to-
fixed rate interest rate swap agreements with a total notional
amount of $39.3 million that are designed to hedge the interest
rates of its variable rate Series 2006 and Series 2008 bonds.  The
counterparty for all of the swaps is RBS Citizens, N.A.  As of
January 2, 2009, the market value of the swap portfolio to the
College was negative $7.4 million. Lasell is not required to post
collateral under the agreements.  There are no automatic
termination events, but the counterparty may terminate the
agreement if the College loses its tax-exempt status. Two swaps
are currently in effect for the Series 2006 bonds.  Under one swap
with a notional amount of $12.0 million that extends to 2036, the
College pays a fixed rate of 3.75% and receives a variable rate
based on 67% of one-month LIBOR.  A second swap for $6.4 million
requires Lasell to pay a fixed rate of 3.84% and receive the rate
it pays on the Series 2006 bonds.  When that swap matures in 2011,
a third swap will become effective also with a notional amount of
$6.3 million.  Under that swap, the College pays a fixed rate of
3.80% and receives a variable rate based on 67% of one-month LIBOR
through 2031.  In conjunction with its Series 2008 bonds, Lasell
entered into a swap with a notional amount of $14.7 million under
which it pays a fixed rate of 3.91% and receives the rate it pays
on the Series 2008 bonds.  Moody's believes the swaps introduce
basis risk and counterparty risk to the College's portfolio, but
is comfortable with the risks at the current rating level.

Strengths

* Continued growth in enrollment (1,430 FTE in fall 2008) and
  student demand (61.4% selectivity and 24.6% matriculation in
  fall 2008 compared to 78.0% and 21.6% in fall 2001),
  demonstrating further progress in solidifying the College's
  role in an attractive suburban Boston environment.  Investment
  in two additional residence halls now under construction is
  expected to boost the appeal of the campus and provide
  incremental housing capacity to allow the student body to grow
  by up to 200 undergraduate students.  Additional graduate
  programs being implemented, including the Masters in
  Communication which began in fall 2008, may expand the number
  of graduate students, who now represent 4% of the FTE total.

* Sustained improvement in operating performance (average
  operating margin in FY 2006-2008 of 10.1% represents a steady
  increase from 3.7% in FY 2002-2004) reflects healthy growth in
  net tuition per student ($13,180 in FY 2008, up from $9,046 in
  FY 2004), decreasing tuition discount rate (39% in FY 2008
  compared to 47% in FY 2004), and prudent budgeting practices.
  Operating cash flow margin of 20.3% in FY 2008 would cover
  maximum annual debt service by 2.9 times.  Growth in net
  tuition is an important credit factor given the College's
  dependence on student charges for 90% of operating revenue as
  calculated by Moody's.

* Strengthened financial resources due to retained operating
  surpluses, positive investment returns through FY 2007, and
  generally increasing gift revenue.  From FY 2004 through FY
  2007, the College's annual investment return averaged 12.0%.
  Although returns were negative 3.5% in FY 2008, gift revenue of
  $3.9 million and an operating margin of 9.2% brought total
  financial resources to $21.6 million at June 30, 2008, an
  increase of more than 220% since FY 2004.  Expendable financial
  resources of $14.5 million at June 30, 2008 cover pro-forma
  direct debt by 0.34 times and provide 0.47 times annual
  operating expenses.  While lower than recent years, the
  cushions are larger than in FY 2006 and earlier.

Challenges

* Debt structure presents liquidity and counterparty risks.
  Lasell's direct debt portfolio includes 77% in variable rate
  obligations with a put feature that utilize interest rate swaps
  and rely on letters of credit for liquidity support (Series
  2006 and Series 2008 bonds).  All swaps and both of the letters
  of credit associated with these variable rate demand bonds are
  provided by a single bank, raising significant counterparty
  exposure.  The volume of VRDBs with swaps also creates
  liquidity exposure due to basis risk embedded in some of the
  agreements, as differences between tax-exempt and taxable
  interest rates affect the net cost paid by the College.  Under
  the letters of credit, Lasell would have as little as 90 days
  to repay an advance from the bank to purchase bonds that were
  not remarketed.  In the case of an event of default, including
  a material adverse change that the bank determines would impair
  Lasell's ability to repay its obligations, the College could be
  required to repay its obligations to the bank immediately.  The
  College currently holds $10.9 million in cash compared to
  $33.1 million in LOC-supported debt.  Therefore, Lasell relies
  on access to letters of credit, and lack of access in the
  future could impair the College's liquidity and prompt a rapid
  transition in the current rating.

* Financial position weakened by investment losses and additional
  debt.  As of January 31, 2009, the College's investments in
  equities and fixed income, which represent approximately 71% of
  investments, had lost 26% of their value since June 30, 2008.
  The College's investments are concentrated in the Commonfund
  Multi-Strategy Equity Fund (45% of total investments) and
  Commonfund Multi-Strategy Bond Fund (26% of total investments).
  In addition, the College issued $14.7 million in new debt in
  August 2008, which increased its debt by 50%.  Assuming a 30%
  loss from June 30, 2008 values, expendable financial resources
  would cushion pro-forma direct debt by 0.24 times and cover
  operating expenses by 0.33 times.  The College reports no
  additional borrowing plans.

* Strong relationship with Lasell Village, a continuing care
  retirement community on the College's campus, including shared
  corporate parent and a management agreement under which Lasell
  College operates Lasell Village.  Despite strong occupancy,
  Lasell Village represents a much higher risk enterprise than
  the College, somewhat limiting the credit rating of the
  College, especially given the approximately $20 million of debt
  of the Village, which Moody's treats as an indirect debt of the
  College.  The College has no legal obligation to pay the debt
  of Lasell Village.

Outlook

The outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the College will
continue to strengthen its market position and operating
performance and successfully manage its relationship with a much
higher risk organization (Lasell Village).

What could change the rating-UP

Marked improvement in financial resources that provides greater
cushion for debt and operations; reduced risk in debt structure.

What could change the rating-DOWN

Loss of access to liquidity support on variable rate demand bonds;
stress on liquidity position caused by mismatches in swap payments
and receipts; continued investment losses that further erode
financial resources; issuance of additional debt without
commensurate growth in financial resources.

Key Indicators (FY 2008 financial data and fall 2008 enrollment
data)

* Figures in parentheses include a pro-forma 30% reduction to
  financial resources as of 6/30/2008

* Total Enrollment: 1,430 full-time equivalent students

* Selectivity: 61.4%

* Matriculation: 24.6%

* Total Financial Resources: $21.6 million ($15.1 million)

* Total Pro-Forma Direct Debt: $43.0 million

* Total Comprehensive Debt: $63.3 million

* Expendable Financial Resources to Pro-Forma Direct Debt: 0.34
  times (0.24 times)

* Expendable Financial Resources to Operations: 0.47 times (0.33
  times)

* Three-Year Average Operating Margin: 10.1%

* Operating Cash Flow Margin: 20.3%

Rated Debt

* Series A: Ba1

* Series 2006 and 2008: Aa3/VMIG1 (based on letters of credit
  from RBS Citizens, N.A. that expire on September 27, 2013 and
  August 6, 2013, respectively)

The last rating action was on September 20, 2006 when the rating
on Lasell College's Series A bonds was affirmed.

LEVI STRAUSS: Nov. 30 Balance Sheet Upside Down by $349.5 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On February 10, 2009, Levi Strauss & Co. (LS&CO.) disclosed
financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
November 30, 2008.

Fourth-quarter net revenues improved slightly on a reported basis.
Excluding currency effects, net revenues increased by 4 percent in
the quarter compared with the same period in 2007, reflecting
Levi's(R) brand sales growth in the company's Asia-Pacific
emerging markets, Japan and the Americas.

The increase in reported net revenues for fiscal 2008 reflected
the benefit of currency.  Fiscal-year net revenues were down 1
percent on a constant currency basis.  Increased sales from new
and existing company-operated retail stores were more than offset
by the adverse impact of a weak retail environment in the United
States and certain markets in Europe and Asia Pacific, lower
performance of the Dockers(R) brand and second quarter shipping
issues related to our U.S. ERP implementation.  Improvements in
sales mix and company-operated retail store sales, combined with
lower sourcing costs, benefited gross margin for the year.
Net income was $62 million in the fourth quarter and $229 million
for the year.  The decrease for the quarter and fiscal year was
primarily the result of an approximately $215 million income tax
benefit relating to a non-recurring, non-cash reversal of deferred
tax asset valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Compared to the prior year, earnings before tax were up 10 percent
for the quarter and down 2 percent for the year.

"In the context of an extraordinarily difficult economic
environment, Levi Strauss & Co. delivered solid financial
performance for 2008," said John Anderson, president and chief
executive officer.  "Levi's(R) brand revenues grew in each of our
regions, demonstrating its ability to perform even in tough
economic times.  The global Levi's(R) 501(R) marketing campaign
contributed to a substantial worldwide sales increase for 501(R)
jeans in 2008.  And the continued growth of our retail network
helped offset a slowdown in our wholesale channels.
"Looking ahead, we expect the year to be difficult.  The outlook
remains uncertain and we face stiff headwinds.  With this in mind,
we will focus on maintaining strong liquidity, containing costs
and investing strategically in our brands to build market share so
we are well-positioned when market conditions improve."

                   Fourth Quarter 2008 Highlights

   * Gross profit in the fourth quarter increased to $625 million
     compared with $595 million for the same period in 2007.
     Gross margin for the fourth quarter increased to 49.2
     percent of revenues compared with 47.4 percent of revenues
     in the fourth quarter of 2007.

   * Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the
     fourth quarter increased to $479 million from $403 million
     in the same period of 2007.  The increase was due to higher
     advertising and promotion expense to support the 501(R)
     campaign; increased selling costs related to additional
     company-operated retail stores, including asset impairment
     charges; and, in the fourth quarter of 2007, lower incentive
     compensation.  SG&A in the 2007 period also was positively
     impacted by a larger postretirement benefit plan curtailment
     gain compared to 2008.  These increases were partially
     offset by a $17 million effect of currency exchange.

   * Operating income for the fourth quarter was $143 million
     compared with $190 million for the same period of 2007,
     reflecting higher SG&A expenses.

   * Interest expense for the fourth quarter decreased to
     $35 million compared to $49 million in 2007.

                    Fiscal Year 2008 Highlights

   * Gross profit for the fiscal year increased to $2,140 million
     compared with $2,042 million in 2007.  Gross margin
     increased to 48.6 percent of revenues for the year compared
     with 46.8 percent of revenues in 2007.

   * Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
     $1,606 million for 2008 compared to $1,387 million the prior
     year.  Increased expenses in 2008 included higher selling
     costs resulting from additional company-operated retail
     stores, higher expense related to the U.S. ERP stabilization
     and increased advertising and promotion expenses primarily
     for the global Levi's(R) 501(R) campaign.  2007 SG&A was
     positively impacted by $53 million in benefit plan
     curtailment gains compared with $6 million in 2008.  The
     impact of currency contributed approximately $32 million to
     the increase in SG&A expense for 2008.

   * Operating income in 2008 decreased to $525 million compared
     to $641 million in 2007, primarily reflecting the higher
     SG&A expenses.

   * Interest expense for the year decreased to $154 million
     compared to $216 million in 2007. The decrease was primarily
     attributable to lower debt levels and lower average interest
     rates in 2008 following the company's refinancing and debt
     reduction activities in 2007.

                   Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The company ended the fourth quarter with cash and cash
equivalents of $211 million, an increase of $55 million from
November 25, 2007.  Cash provided by operating activities was $225
million for 2008, compared with $302 million for the same period
in 2007, primarily reflecting lower operating income for the year,
partially offset by lower interest payments and lower working
capital.  Total debt was $1.85 billion at the end of fiscal 2008
compared to $1.96 billion at the end of fiscal 2007.  During the
year, the company reduced long-term debt by
$95 million in addition to paying a $50 million cash dividend to
common stockholders during the second quarter.

As of November 30, 2008, the Company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $2,776,875,000, total liabilities of $3,125,800,000, and
temporary equity of $592,000, resulting in total stockholders'
deficit of $349,517,000.

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: 341 Meeting of Creditors Slated for March 3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Diana G. Adams, the United States Trustee for Region 2, will
convene a meeting of creditors of Lyondell Chemical Company and
its 79 debtor affiliates on March 3, 2009, at 2:00 p.m., at 80
Broad Street, Fourth Floor, in New York.

This is the first meeting of creditors required under Section
341(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Debtor's bankruptcy cases.

Attendance by the Debtor's creditors at the meeting is welcome,
but not required.  The Sec. 341(a) meeting offers the creditors a
one-time opportunity to examine the Debtor's representative under
oath about the Debtor's financial affairs and operations that
would be of interest to the general body of creditors.

                      About LyondellBassell

Basell AF and Lyondell Chemical Company merged operations

LyondellBasell became saddled with debt as part of the
US$12.7 billion merger.  About a year after completing the merger,
LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations and one of its European
holding companies -- Basell Germany Holdings GmbH -- filed
voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code on January 6, 2009, to facilitate a restructuring
of the company's debts.  The case is In re Lyondell Chemical
Company, et al., Bankr. S.D. N.Y. Lead Case No. 09-10023).
Seventy-nine Lyondell entities, including Equistar Chemicals, LP,
Lyondell Chemical Company, Millennium Chemicals Inc., and Wyatt
Industries, Inc., filed for Chapter 11.  LyondellBasell is not
part of the bankruptcy filing.  LyondellBasell's non-U.S.
operating entities are also not included in the Chapter 11 filing.

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Seeks Injunction Against Wachovia, Noteholders
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lyondell Chemical Company and certain of its debtor-affiliates
brought a complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York against:

   (i) Wachovia Bank, N.A., and 15 other parties -- the Guaranty
       Claimants; and Al-Waha Petrochemical Corporation and 46
       parties -- the Prospective Guaranty Claimants.  Both sets
       of claimants are referred to as the Guaranty Defendants;
       and

  (ii) Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee under an indenture
       relating to 2015 notes and other 100 entities, including
       unknown holders of 2015 Notes -- the 2015 Defendants.

Pursuant to Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, Rule 65 of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Debtors asked the
Court for an:

  (i) extension of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
      the Bankruptcy Court; and

(ii) injunction under Section 105, to enjoin Wachovia et al.,
      from asserting claims or attempting to exercise remedies
      against non-debtor holding company LyondellBasell
      Industries AF S.C.A. or any LBI affiliates based on
      guaranty issued by a Non-debtor Affiliate for certain
      alleged debts of the Debtors; or purported liabilities
      arising under the $615,000,000 of 8-3/8% notes due in 2015
      and EUR500,000,000 of 8-3/8% senior notes due in 2015
      issued by a predecessor to by a predecessor of Nell
      Funding S.a.r.l., who is a non-debtor affiliate of LBI.

Proposed counsel for the Debtors, Vineet Bhatia, Esq., at Susman
Godfrey LLP, in Houston, Texas, told the Court that the Guaranty
Defendants are stayed under Section 362(a) from attempting to
collect prepetition debts from the Debtors.  Similarly, he says,
the 2015 Defendants should also be enjoined from attempting to
collect from a Non-Debtor Affiliate, because those efforts (i)
will have the effect of action against the Debtors themselves,
and (ii) will cause significant interference with, and impairment
of, the Debtors' efforts to reorganize.

                    Guaranty Agreements

Before the Petition Date, LBI entered into guaranty agreements in
connection with commercial and financial transactions of certain
of the Debtors, in favor of certain parties.  LBI also issued
additional guaranties for the benefit of the Debtors.

The Guaranty Defendants has made a demand against LBI under the
applicable guaranty agreements aggregating $131 million:

  * On January 8, 2009, Wachovia made a demand for
    $63,445,000 in alleged early termination liability against
    LBI as parent-guarantor of a master ISDA agreement between
    Wachovia and Lyondell Chemical Company.  Wachovia's demand
    was triggered by the termination of the ISDA by Wachovia
    upon Lyondell's bankruptcy filing.

  * On January 15, 2009, Centerpoint made a demand for
    $3,610,000 against LBI as guarantor of sale and purchase
    agreements for natural gas between Debtor Equistar
    Chemicals, LP and Centerpoint for prepetition amounts
    allegedly owing under agreements.

  * On January 14, 2009, Cokinos made a demand for $2,070,861
    against LBI as guarantor of sale agreements between Equistar
    and Cokinos for the purchase of natural gas from Cokinos for
    prepetition amounts allegedly owing under the agreement.

  * On January 30, 2009, ConocoPhillips made a demand for
    $37,611,919 against LBI as guarantor of a purchase and sale
    agreement for polypropylene between Debtor Basell USA, Inc.
    and ConocoPhillips for prepetition amounts allegedly owing
    under the agreement.

  * On January 7, 2009, Dow made a demand for $837,169 against
    LBI as guarantor of supply agreements between Dow, Basell
    USA and Debtor LyondellBasell Advanced Polyolefins USA Inc.
    for prepetition amounts allegedly owing under the agreement.

  * On January 16, 2009, Marathon made a demand for $3,014,559
    against LBI as guarantor of a sale agreement between
    Equistar and Marathon for product sales for prepetition
    amounts allegedly owing under the agreement.

  * On January 14, 2009, Nalco made a demand for $259,723
    against LBI as guarantor of a sale agreement between Nalco
    and Basell USA for the purchase of chemicals from Nalco for
    prepetition amounts allegedly owing under the agreement.

  * On January 14, 2009, Saracen made a demand for $127,995
    against LBI as guarantor of transactions governed by the
    general terms and conditions on May 1, 2008 between Saracen
    and Debtor Houston Refining LP for purported accelerated
    amounts owing pursuant to the transactions after Saracen
    declared a default.

  * On January 12, 2009, Suncor made a demand for $3,167,070
    against LBI as guarantor of a crude oil purchase, sale or
    exchange transaction between Suncor and Houston for
    purported settlement payments after Suncor's termination of
    the agreement.

  * On February 4, 2009, GulfMark Energy Inc. made a demand for
    $46,502 against LBI as guarantor under sales of petroleum
    product between GulfMark and Houston Refining for amounts
    purportedly owed by Houston Refining.

  * On February 4, 2009, Targa Liquids Marketing and Trade made
    a demand for $117,626 against LBI as guarantor under a
    product and storage agreement entered between Targa and
    Equistar for amounts purportedly owed by Equistar.

  * On January 23, 2009, Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., as
    trustee of Potomac Equipment Leasing Corporation, made a
    demand for $29,980 against LBI under the Wells Fargo
    guaranty for amounts owed prepetition by Basell.

The Debtors have also received two notices of default, from Koch
Supply & Trading, LP and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. for
obligations that LBI may guarantee.  The Prospective Guaranty
Claimants have not asserted claims with the Guaranty Agreements
and doing so may have disastrous consequences on the Debtors.
The Debtors, however, have reserved their rights to dispute any
of the Guaranty Claims.  A Guaranty Defendant has indicated
willingness to pursue or commence of an involuntary insolvency
proceeding against LBI in Luxembourg or the Netherlands while
another Guaranty Defendant has threatened to commence legal
action against LBI by February 9, 2009 absent payment on its
guaranty claim, Mr. Bhatia confirms.

                        2015 Notes

Mr. Bhatia relates that Wilmington Trust serves as successor-
trustee under an Indenture, and the Unknown 2015 Noteholders are
financial institutions, hedge funds, banks, other entities and
individuals that hold or may acquire ownership of the 2015 Notes.
Upon an event of default under the Indenture, including
commencement of a Chapter 11 case of certain guarantors that are
Debtors, Wilmington or holders of 25% of 2015 Notes can seek to
declare all principal and accrued interest to be due and payable
under the 2015 Notes and Wilmington Trust may exercise or direct
the exercise of certain remedies against LBI.  A subset of the
2015 Noteholders is working to achieve the 25% threshold and
force an acceleration of the 2015 Notes for triggering certain
credit default swaps tied to the 2015 Notes, Mr. Bhatia relates.

The entities believed by the Debtors to be holders of record or
beneficial holders of the 2015 Notes are: Advantus Capital
Management Inc.; AEGON Asset Management NV (Netherlands); AEGON
USA Investment Management LLC; AllianceBernstein LP; American
Money Management Corp.; Amerisure Insurance; Analytic Investors

"Acceleration of the 2015 Notes or pursuit of Guaranty Claims may
precipitate the involuntary insolvency of LBI or other Non-Debtor
Affiliates," Mr. Bhatia says.

Mr. Bhatia explains that an involuntary proceeding commenced
against LBI and its subsidiaries results to potential loss of
control of LBI and its subsidiaries to a foreign liquidator,
which is disastrous to the Debtors' reorganization efforts.
Specifically, an involuntary insolvency filing against a Non-
Debtor Affiliate would constitute a default under the term sheet
governing the Debtors' DIP financing.  By an event of default,
all loans and obligations under the DIP Financing are accelerated
and must be repaid in full, in cash and the commitments under the
DIP Financing are terminated meaning no further borrowing under
the DIP is permitted.  Absent the DIP Financing, the Debtors will
not have sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs and all
of the entities would be forced to liquidate without access to
the DIP Financing, he says.  Moreover, a default under the DIP
Financing would also trigger a default under the forbearance
agreement that prohibits the DIP lenders from pursuing remedies
against the Non-Debtor Affiliates that provided guaranties in
support of those credit facilities.  If a default occurs, he
continues, the forbearance agreement will thus allow the DIP
Secured Parties to assert remedies against the assets of certain
non-debtors, including pursuing insolvency proceedings and
liquidation under applicable European law.

In addition, an involuntary proceeding involving LBI in Europe
could trigger certain fiduciary obligations of LBI's directors
and the directors of other Non-Debtor Affiliates which may force
all the Non-Debtor Affiliates into their own liquidation
proceedings.  It will not thus be possible to coordinate each of
those disparate proceedings with the Debtors' Chapter 11
proceedings, Mr. Bhatia explains.  The liquidation of LBI and the
Non-Debtor Affiliates would have a very substantial negative
impact on the value of the Debtors' estates, Mr. Bhatia
emphasizes.  Although those corporations are each independent
legal entities, the Debtors and their Non-Debtor Affiliates
operate as an integrated enterprise through the global
coordination of their businesses and their operation as a
vertically integrated group of companies.  Moreover, the
cessation of the European operations would require the Debtors to
expend substantial resources to which they do not have ready
access in order to replace the goods, services, and systems
formerly provided by the Non-Debtor Affiliates.

Mr. Bhatia notes that litigation over Guaranty Claims and claims
under 2015 Notes would be time-consuming and burdensome for the
Debtors' senior management.  Pursuant to Section 362(a)(3),
Guaranty Claims and claims under the 2015 Notes pursued by
Wachovia et al., will only deplete the assets of the Debtors'
estates by giving rise to claims against the Debtors by LBI, he
says.  The 2015 Defendants would also implicate the Debtors
because they are guarantors under the 2015 Notes.  Defense of
those Claims will be a burden on the Debtors and their senior
management because the Debtors will bear the practical
responsibilities of defending any claims.

According to Mr. Bhatia, any harm suffered by the Guaranty
Defendants is vastly outweighed by the harm suffered by the
Debtors in the absence of an injunction.  To the extent the
Guaranty Defendants have valid Guaranty Claims against LBI, they
also have valid claims against a Debtor in an identical amount.
Any valid claims can be dealt with in the course of the Debtors'
Chapter 11 cases.  If the Guaranty Claims proceed now and an
insolvency of the Non-Debtor Affiliates is forced, this will
actually decrease the value of the Guaranty Defendants' claims.
Similarly, any harm suffered by the 2015 Defendants is also
vastly outweighed by the harm to the Debtors.  Payment on the
2015 Defendants' claims is subordinated in whole or in part to
the DIP Secured Parties' claims against the Debtors and the Non-
Debtors, and, thus demands on the 2015 Notes would serve little
economic purpose.  To the extent the 2015 Defendants have valid
claims against the Debtors, those claims would lose value as a
result of efforts to enforce claims under the 2015 Notes given
the harm caused to the Debtors.

The Debtors believe that they are entitled to a preliminary
injunction pursuant to Rule 65 because they have a reasonable
likelihood of success on the merits of their TRO given their
access to necessary funding under the DIP Financing to accomplish
necessary business and financial restructuring goals and the
hardship of denial of the preliminary injunction to the Debtors
vastly outweighs any harm to Wachovia et al.

Accordingly, the Debtors ask the Court for a preliminary
injunction enjoining the 2015 Defendants and Guaranty Defendants
from:

  (i) taking any act or action to accelerate the maturity of or
      otherwise enforce any rights in respect of the 2015 Notes
      or any Guaranty Claims against the Non-Debtor Affiliates,
      obtain possession of or to exercise control over property,
      or the proceeds of property of the Non-Debtor Affiliates
      or their property, or the proceeds of the property;

(ii) taking any act or action to create, perfect or enforce any
      lien against the Non-Debtor Affiliates or their property,
      or the proceeds of the property;

(iii) commencing or continuing any action or legal proceeding,
      including counterclaim against the Non- Debtor Affiliates
      in any jurisdiction; and

(iv) enforcing any judicial, quasi-judicial, administrative or
      regulatory judgment, assessment or order against the Non-
      Debtor Affiliates, and commencing or continuing any action
      or action or other legal proceeding.

          Court Issues Temporary Restraining Order

According to Mr. Bhatia, prior to filing its formal complaint
with the Court, the Debtors sought and obtained a temporary
restraining order on February 9, 2009, against the Debtors'
creditors from proceeding against LBI pursuant to the guaranty
agreements.

Pending a hearing and ruling on the Debtors' request for
preliminary injunction, the Court held that holders of record and
beneficial owners of the EUR500 million and $615 million 8 3/8%
Senior Notes due 2015 issued by LBI are restrained from, among
other things, taking any action to accelerate the maturity of the
notes.

The Court also relieved the Debtors from posting any security
pursuant to Rule 65(c).

The Court will hear the Debtors' request for preliminary
injunction on February 13, 2009, at 9:45 a.m.  Objections to the
Preliminary Injunction request are due February 12.

                      About LyondellBassell

Basell AF and Lyondell Chemical Company merged operations
in 2007 to form LyondellBasell Industries --
http://www.lyondellbasell.com/-- the world's third largest
independent chemical company.  Lyondellbasell produces
polypropylene and advanced polyolefins products, is a leading
supplier of polyethylene, and a global leader in the development
and licensing of polypropylene and polyethylene processes and
related catalyst sales.

LyondellBasell became saddled with debt as part of the
US$12.7 billion merger.  About a year after completing the merger,
LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations and one of its European
holding companies -- Basell Germany Holdings GmbH -- filed
voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code on January 6, 2009, to facilitate a restructuring
of the company's debts.  The case is In re Lyondell Chemical
Company, et al., Bankr. S.D. N.Y. Lead Case No. 09-10023).
Seventy-nine Lyondell entities, including Equistar Chemicals, LP,
Lyondell Chemical Company, Millennium Chemicals Inc., and Wyatt
Industries, Inc., filed for Chapter 11.  LyondellBasell is not
part of the bankruptcy filing.  LyondellBasell's non-U.S.
operating entities are also not included in the Chapter 11 filing.

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary
AP Services LLC, serves as restructuring advisors.  AlixPartners'
Kevin M. McShea acts as the Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer.
Clifford Chance LLP serves as restructuring advisors to the
European entities.

Lyondell Chemical estimated that consolidated assets total
US$27.12 billion and debts total US$19.34 billion as of the
bankruptcy filing date.

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Court Moves Final DIP Hearing to Feb. 19
-----------------------------------------------------------
The final hearing to consider final approval of Lyondell Chemical
Company and its affiliated debtors' DIP Facility has been
adjourned to February 19, 2009, said George A. Davis, Esq., at
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York, the Debtors'
proposed counsel.

Prior to the Feb. 19 adjournment, the DIP hearing was moved from
the original Feb. 4 schedule to Feb. 11 because, as disclosed by
the Debtors in a filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, they agreed with the DIP Lenders to:

   (i) extend the date by which definitive documentation for the
       DIP Facility must be entered into,

  (ii) extend the date by which the final approval of the DIP
       Facility must be entered, and

(iii) waive any defaults or events of default arising by
       reason of the definitive documentation not having
       definitive documentation for the DIP Facility.

The Debtors' $8-billion loan is the biggest bankruptcy loan in
U.S. history.

At the Final DIP Hearing, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York will consider the DIP objections
and responses filed by various parties including:

-- Lienholders
-- Texas Tax Jurisdictions
-- C. GIM Channelview
-- Bank of New York Mellon
-- Wilmington Trust Company

The Lienholders consist of The Shaw Group Inc. and Shaw
Maintenance, Inc.; Altech Inspections, Inc.; Oiltanking Houston,
L.P.; Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway Company; and Veolia ES
Industrial Services, Inc.

The Lienholders object to the DIP Motion to the extent it seeks
to prime their liens without providing them adequate protection.
The Lienholders noted that they have neither been paid nor been
assured of any future payment from the Debtors and the DIP Motion
is silent on the issue of adequate protection.

The Texas Tax Jurisdictions consisting of the City of Mansfield,
Dallas County, Galveston County, Harris County, Houston
Independent School District, Liberty County, Matagorda County,
Nueces County, Polk County, Refugio County, San Patricio County
and Victoria County, point out that the Interim DIP Order
contained two provisions that exempted their ad valorem tax liens
from being primed by the Order:

   (i) the DIP liens will be junior to any valid, perfected,
       enforceable, and unavoidable security interest and liens
       of other parties, if any, on property existing prior to
       the Petition Date; and

  (ii) the Adequate Protection Liens are subject and subordinate
       to the DIP Liens and any liens on the DIP Collateral that
       are senior to the DIP Liens, which would include the
       liens of the Taxing Jurisdictions.

The Texas Taxing Jurisdictions contend that the DIP Motion did
not expressly state whether those Interim DIP Order provisions
will be included in any final order to the DIP Motion.

Galena Park Independent School District, Spring Branch
Independent School District, Sheldon Independent School District,
La Porte Independent School District, City of La Porte, Clear

District, Channelview Independent School District, Crossby
Independent School District, Spring Independent School District,
Chambers County, Barbers Hill Independent School District,
Brazoria County, Liberty Independent School District, Woodlands
Metro MUD, Woodlands RUD#2 also object to the entry of a Final
DIP Order that will not include provisions exempting their senior
prepetition liens from priming, and ask the Court to order
appropriate provisions to assure the protection of the Taxing
Jurisdictions.

GIM Channelview GIM Retail Energy, LLC note that pursuant to a
Second Amended and Restated Energy Supply Agreement and Second
Amended and Restated Energy Supply Agreement with the Debtors,
they provide Equistar Chemicals, LP with all of its steam and
electricity requirements for Equistar's petrochemical plant.  GIM
provides Equistar those services using its facility in
Channelview, Texas and at a price consisting of fixed and
variable components and subject to certain minimum and maximum
quantities.  Under the Lease Agreement, GIM leases from Equistar
the land upon which the Channelview Facility is located.
Accordingly, GIM asks the Court to deny final approval of the DIP
Motion to the extent the Motion seeks (i) to alter the netting of
payments to and from Equistar and GIM under the Supply
Agreements; and (ii) to grant the DIP Lenders a priming lien in
GIM's netting rights.  Should Equistar grant the DIP Lenders a
lien in its right to payment under the Supply Agreements, any
lien must be junior to GIM's valid and enforceable contract
rights.  GIM noted that the Court cannot grant a lien in funds
subject to GIM's right of recoupment under the Supply Agreements
because those funds are not property of Equistar's estate.  In
addition to the impact a final order on the DIP Motion has on
GIM's rights, granting the DIP Lenders liens in the Facility
Premises or the Lease Agreement creates the potential for a
breach of GIM's financing and investment covenants with third
parties, GIM stressed.

At GIM's request, the Court authorized GIM to file under seal the
Facility Agreements and a redacted version of its DIP Objection.
The Court agreed that the Facility Agreements and certain
portions of the Objection contain sensitive and proprietary
business information, which public disclosure would be damaging
to GIM.  However, the Order is without prejudice to the rights of
any party-in-interest or the U.S. Trustee to seek to declassify
and make public any portion of the materials filed under seal.

Counsel for BoNY Mellon, Glenn E. Siegel, Esq., at Dechert LLP,
in New York, confirmed that, as acknowledged by the Debtors in
the DIP Motion, BoNY is a prepetition secured creditor holding
liens of equal and ratable priority with the first-priority liens
of the Senior Facility Prepetition Agent and Senior Facility
Prepetition Lenders in two separate pools of collateral.  Despite
the creditors' equal and ratable prepetition security interests,
which are being primed by liens granted to the DIP Lenders, the
adequate protection provided under the Interim DIP Order to BoNY
however is significantly inferior to the adequate protection
granted to the Senior Facility Prepetition Lenders, he stressed.
As of January 22, 2009, he said, the Debtors have not responded
to BoNY's repeated requests for explanation for the disparate and
indefensible treatment.  He said that though BoNY would have
preferred to handle the issue through informal meetings and
consensual exchange of documents, the Debtors' nonresponsiveness
and the shortness of time has left BoNY with no choice but to
file an objection to the DIP Motion.

BoNY had sought for a formal discovery under Rules 7030 and 9014
of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Rule 30(b)(6) of
the Federal Rules on Civil Procedure.  BoNY expected the Debtors'
production of the documents by January 26 and with depositions
held on the same day.

Given the various DIP hearing adjournments, the resulting
confusion over the DIP Objection Deadline, and the Debtors'
persistent refusal to respond to BoNY's requests for information,
BoNY had asked the Court for an extension of the DIP Objection
Deadline for all parties.

Subsequently, BoNY and the Debtors entered into a Court-approved
stipulation and protective order, governing the handling of all
the Documents, deposition and hearing testimony, discovery
responses and other materials, including all copies, excerpts and
summaries produced, exchanged or provided by the parties in
connection with the DIP Hearing.

The Materials produced, exchanged or provided by the Parties will
be used only for purposes of the DIP Hearing, the parties agreed
among other things.  Moreover, the production of the Materials
that are an attorney-client privileged communication, or work
product as defined under Rule 7026(b)(3) of Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure will not be deemed a waiver of the attorney-
client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable
privilege or protection.

Wilmington Trust, for its part, reserved its right to the DIP
Motion to the extent the Motion violates the terms of the
Indenture dated August 10, 2005, as amended by supplemental
indentures, among LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A., BoNY as
trustee, registrar, paying agent, transfer agent and listing
agent, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as security agent, and AIB/BNY Fund
Management Limited, as Irish Paying Agent, and related
transaction documents, including the agreements relating to the
pledge of High Yield Proceeds Loan and the shares of Nell Bidco
B.V., a non-debtor affiliate of LBI.

WTC notes that under the Indenture, LBI and the Debtor Guarantors
agreed to limit the incurrence of certain additional loans and
not impair the security interests granted to the holder of the
2015 Notes.  As of February 5, 2009, however, WTC did not have a
complete set of documents to determine whether the DIP Motion
violate the rights of Wilmington Trust and the holders of the
2015 Notes.  Thus, WTC filed its Reservation of Rights.

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Asks Court to Cadwalader Engagement
------------------------------------------------------
Lyondell Chemical Company and its 79 debtor affiliates seek
authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York to employ Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP as their
counsel, nunc pro tunc to Jan. 6, 2009.

As the Debtors' counsel, Cadwalader will:

  * advise the Debtors of their rights, powers, and duties as
    debtors and debtors-in-possession in the continued
    management and operation of their businesses and properties;

  * prepare, on behalf of the Debtors, all necessary and
    appropriate applications, motions, draft orders, and other
    documents, and review all financial and other reports to be
    filed in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases;

  * advise the Debtors concerning, and prepare responses to,
    applications, motions, and other pleadings, notices, and
    other papers that may be filed and served in the Debtors'
    bankruptcy cases;

  * advise the Debtors concerning actions that they might take
    to collect and recover property for the benefit of their
    estates;

  * review the nature and validity of any liens asserted against
    the Debtors' property and advise the Debtors concerning the
    enforceability of those liens;

  * advise and assist the Debtors in connection with any
    potential asset dispositions;

  * advise the Debtors concerning executory contracts and
    unexpired lease assumptions, assignments and rejections;

  * assist the Debtors in reviewing, estimating, and resolving
    claims asserted against their estates;

  * commence and conduct any and all litigation necessary or
    appropriate to assert rights held by the Debtors, protect
    assets of their estates, or otherwise further the goal of
    completing a successful reorganization;

  * advise and assist the Debtors in connection with the
    solicitation and confirmation of a plan of reorganization
    and related documents;

  * advise and assist the Debtors in the preparation and
    filing of various documents required  in
    compliance with the U.S. securities laws; and

  * perform all other necessary legal services in connection
    with the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases and other general
    corporate matters concerning the Debtors' businesses.

The Debtors will pay Cadwalader's professionals according to
these customary hourly rates:

     Title                        Rate per Hour
     -----                        -------------
     Partners                     $650 to $1050
     Counsel                       $335 to $930
     Legal Assistants              $170 to $385

Pursuant to Section 330(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors
will also reimburse Cadwalader of actual, necessary expenses and
other charges.

Since December 2008, Cadwalader has received $4,181,903 for its
prepetition services, which amount has been applied against
professional services rendered by the firm prior to the Petition
Date.  As of the Petition Date, Cadwalader is holding an advance
payment retainer of $6 million for professional services and
expenses to be rendered to or incurred for the Debtors.

Deryck A. Palmer, Esq., partner at Cadwalader, notes that his
firm, its members, counsel and associates:

  -- are not creditors, equity holders or insiders of the
     Debtors;

  -- are not and was not, within two years before the Petition
     Date, a director, officer or employee of the Debtors;

  -- do not have an interest materially adverse to the interests
     of the Debtors' estates or of any class of creditors or
     equity security holders;

  -- have not represented any party-in-interest in connection
     with matters relating to the Debtors, although Cadwalader
     has certain relationships with other parties-in-interest
     and other professionals in connection with unrelated
     matters; and

  -- are not related to any the Judge in the Debtors' cases, or
     to the United States Trustee for Region 2.

Although not relevant in concluding Cadwalader's
"disinterestedness," Mr. Palmer further discloses that:

  * Cadwalader may currently represent entities which hold
    certain of the Debtors' debt in beneficial accounts on
    behalf of unidentified parties.

  * Since note debt is traded in the commercial markets,
    Cadwalader may be unaware of the actual holder of the debt
    of the Debtors.

  * Cadwalader has represented, may currently represent, and may
    in the future represent entities with respect to matters
    involving legal and regulatory authorities which may be
    involved in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

  * Cadwalader has not, does not, and will not represent any of
    the entities in matters related to the Debtors' Chapter 11
    cases.

According to Mr. Palmer, Cadwalader represented Leonard
Blavatnik, chairman and principal shareholder of the Access
Group, in connection with certain trust and estate planning
matters, during the period between October 30, 2007 and May 22,
2008.  In addition, ConocoPhillips CO and ExxonMobil Chemical
Corp. are counterparties to contracts with the Debtors, and
parties to Heartland Automotive's creditors' committee which
Cadwalader represents.

Since Cadwalader represents the Heartland committee as a whole,
Cadwalader does not believe its representation of the Debtors in
matters adverse to particular members of the Heartland Committee
interferes with Cadwalader being disinterested.  However,
Cadwalader can be adverse to Conoco Phillips and Exxon, Mr.
Palmer discloses.

A copy of Cadwalader's client match list is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/Lyondell_CadwaladerClientsList.pdf

Based on those disclosures, Mr. Palmer avers that Cadwalader is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined under Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

MARK IV: Weak Credit Metrics Cue Moody's Junk Rating from 'B3'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered the ratings of Mark IV
Industries -- Corporate Family, to Caa3 from B3; Probability of
Default, to Caa3 from B3; senior secured first lien facilities, to
Caa2 from B2, and senior secured second lien term loan, to Ca from
Caa2.  The outlook is negative.

The Corporate Family rating downgrade to Caa3 reflects the
weakening of the company's credit metrics as the global
recessionary environment has resulted in lower automotive and
commercial vehicle production in both the company's European and
North American markets.  The company also continues to face demand
pressure in its transportation technologies segment, due to weaker
municipal budgets and softer automotive aftermarket demand.  These
conditions have more than offset any benefit that may have arisen
from the December 2007 purchase of Mark IV by affiliates Sun
Capital Partners, which included low cost sourcing opportunities
through Sun Capital's other portfolio investments.  The company's
operating environment has also reduced covenant cushions under the
bank credit facility.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's expectation of continued
deterioration of the company's credit metrics due to the impact of
weak global economic conditions on the company's business
segments.  Global automotive and commercial vehicle production is
expected to continue to decline over the near-term.  Reduced
spending by municipal agencies also is expected to negatively
impact the company's transportation technologies segment.  The
challenges may further restrict the company's liquidity and
resulting operating flexibility.  For the LTM period ended
November 30, 2008, the company's EBIT/interest coverage
approximated 0.2x.  Future events that have the potential to drive
Mark IV's rating lower include continuing weakness in global
automotive and commercial vehicle production, or the company's
other markets which are not offset by successful restructuring
actions.  Lower ratings could also result from further
deterioration in the company's covenant cushions and liquidity
position, or the implementation of a distress debt exchange.

Future events that have the potential to drive Mark IV's outlook
or ratings higher include: consistent free cash flow generation,
improving operating performance resulting in EBIT/Interest
coverage being sustained at or above 1.0x or leverage approaching
5.5x.

Mark IV is expected to have weak liquidity over the near term. FCF
generation will be challenged by the adverse effects of the
current weak economic environment on the company's business
segments.  However, there are no near-term maturity requirements
under the company's credit facilities.  As of 11/30/08, there was
approximately $111 million outstanding (including letters of
credit) under the $150 million revolving credit which matures in
June 2010, and $54 million of cash on hand.  While covenant levels
were amended in December 2007, as part of the Sun Capital
transaction, current economic conditions are likely to result in
weak covenant cushions over the near term.  Alternate liquidity is
limited, as most of the company's assets secure the credit
facilities.

These ratings were lowered:

Mark IV Industries, Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, to Caa3 from B3;
  -- Probability of Default Rating to Caa3 from B3;

Dayco Products, LLC

  -- Senior secured credit facilities, to Caa2 (LGD 3, 32%) from
     B2 (LGD3 33%), consisting of:

  -- $150 million US/European revolving credit facility due 2010
     (up to $50 million-equivalent to be available in Euros); and

  -- $635 million (remaining balance) 7-year US term loan B due
     2011;

  -- $148 million (remaiing balance) senior secured second lien
     term loan due 2011, to Ca (LGD5, 86%) from Caa2 (LGD5, 86%);

Dayco Europe SrL

  -- $28 million (remaining balance) equivalent euro equivalent
     denominated European term loan A due 2010, to Caa2 (LGD3,
     32%%) from B2 (LGD3 33%)

The last rating action for Mark IV was on January 17, 2007 when
the B3 Corporate Family Rating was confirmed, with a negative
outlook.

Mark IV Industries is a diversified manufacturer of engineered
systems and components utilizing radio frequency identification,
information display system, mechanical power transmission, air
admission, and other technologies that serve industrial,
transportation and automotive markets. Mark IV manages and reports
its operations into two categories: (i) Industrial/Distribution
and (ii) Automotive OEM. Annual revenues approximate $1.4 billion.


MASCO CORPORATION: Moody's Reviews 'Ba1' Ratings on $4 Bil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Masco Corporation
under review for possible downgrade including the company's Ba1
ratings on its $4 billion existing senior unsecured notes, the
company's CFR and probability of default rating, and the (P)Ba1
and (P)Ba2 ratings on its various shelf programs.  The company's
LGD rate (LGD-4, 54%) is not under review but is subject to
change.  The company's speculative grade liquidity rating has been
downgraded to SGL-3 from SGL-2.

The review is prompted by current and anticipated weakness in the
company's sales, margins, and cash flow generation caused
primarily by the slowdown in new construction and in the repair
and remodeling market.  Masco reported its fourth quarter 2008 and
full year results on February 11, 2009 after the market's close.
The company's performance highlights the degree of financial
stress being caused by the housing and economic downturn on the
company's credit quality.  Furthermore, large impairments, while
non-cash, have been necessary in various business segments and
have resulted in a higher debt to capitalization ratios.

The review will focus on: (i) the company's ability to maintain
positive operating margins during the downturn for in each of its
lines of business and on a consolidated basis; (ii) the company's
liquidity position including the anticipated level of free cash
flow (available for debt reduction), covenant compliance, and
external liquidity sources.  The review will also evaluate the
ability of the company to further manage its capital allocation
and portfolio mix as two of its lines of business reported weak
operating margins for 2008 even when excluding net costs and
charges for business rationalizations and impairment charges for
goodwill and other intangible assets.

The company's speculative grade liquidity rating has been changed
to SGL-3 from SGL-2 to reflect the company's adequate liquidity.
The company's comfortable cash position partially mitigates the
risk presented by the growing possibility it may violate its debt-
to-total capitalization covenant in the event of further
impairments or operating losses.

The last rating action was December 19, 2008 when a CFR, and PRD,
of Ba1 were assigned and the company's senior unsecured notes were
downgraded to Ba1.  An SGL-2 and various LGD rates were also
assigned.  The rating action reflected weakening demand,
profitability, and cash flow generating ability in the current
economic and housing environment.

Masco Corporation, headquartered in Taylor, Michigan, is a leading
North American manufacturer and service provider in the home
improvement and building product markets, with 2008 sales of
$9.6 billion.


MICHIGAN HIGHER: Moody's Cuts Bonds Due to Inadequate Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded two classes of bonds issued
by Michigan Higher Education Student Loan Authority (2007
Indenture).  The rating of the senior bond remains under review
for further possible downgrade.

The rating actions were prompted by the increase in the interest
rates on the bonds due to the prolonged and continuing dislocation
in the auction rate securities market.  The trust, which is funded
by tax-exempt auction rate securities, has suffered excess spread
compression as the yield on the assets did not increase in tandem
with the interest on the bonds.

As of September 30, 2008, the trust was undercollateralized by
1.34% at the subordinate bonds level (i.e. total parity, or the
ratio of total assets to total liabilities was 98.66%).  Only 55%
of the subordinate class was covered by collateral.  Because at
the failed auction rate the trust is expected to generate -0.3% to
-0.5% of excess spread, it is lacking excess cash needed to build
up parity over time.  Therefore, the subordinate bonds are not
likely to be paid off in full by the final maturity date.  The
senior parity, i.e. the ratio of total assets to outstanding
balance of senior bonds, has been declining: between June 2008 and
September 2008 quarter end dates it declined from 103.6% to
102.1%.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in
the process of rating this issue can also be found at
www.moodys.com in the Credit Policy & Methodologies directory.

The complete rating actions are:

Issuer: Michigan Higher Education Student Loan Authority (2007
        Indenture)

  -- Senior Lien Series 20-A Bonds, Downgraded to Baa1 from Aaa
     and Placed Under Review for Possible Downgrade; previously
     on Sept. 28, 2007, Assigned Aaa;

  -- Subordinate Lien Series 20-B Bonds, Downgraded to Ca from
     A2; previously on Sep 28, 2007, Assigned A2.


MAVERICK COUNTY: Fitch Cuts Rating on $11.8 Mil. Certs to 'BB'
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the course of routine surveillance, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded these ratings for Maverick County, Texas' (the county):

  -- $11.8 million combination tax and revenue certificates of
     obligation, series 1996-B, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004 to
     'BB' from 'BB+';

  -- $505,000 tax notes, series 2003-A to 'BB' from 'BB+'.

Fitch has also revised the Rating Outlook to Negative from Stable.
The Negative Outlook reflects the potential for added financial
pressure on the county's weakened general operations as the result
of debt obligations issued by the county's public finance
corporation for a detention center that may require additional
financial support under certain scenarios.  In 2007, the Maverick
County PFC issued $43 million in lease revenue bonds (secured by
project revenues and not rated by Fitch) for a 688-bed detention
facility that opened December 2008.  Currently operated by GEO
Group Inc, the facility is expected to house primarily U.S.
Marshals Service prisoners.

The downgrade to 'BB' reflects the county's negative general fund
balance, thin to negative balances in other major funds, prospect
of a multi-year financial recovery, and poor debt management.  The
rating also incorporates the county's limited albeit growing
economic base, high unemployment, low wealth levels, and exposure
to economic fluctuations in Mexico.  Some progress is evident in
the county's financial recovery plan, most notably in the current
year's budget that has allocated a portion of the tax levy for
deficit reduction.  However, success of the plan is partly
contingent on the receipt of community impact payments from the
private operator of the new detention center whose own revenues
can experience lags in payment.  Furthermore, the failure to
attain sufficient inmate occupancy levels could threaten the PFC's
ability to make timely base rental payments, further complicating
the county's prospects for stabilizing its credit profile.

Consecutive operating losses, due mostly to delayed federal
reimbursements for court costs and public safety spending
pressures, led to an accumulated negative fund balance of
$3.6 million in fiscal 2006, equal to a very high 33% of spending.
Significant budget actions in fiscal 2007 reversed the negative
trend, reducing the deficit by over $800,000.  Preliminary fiscal
2008 projections point to another $800,000 reduction in the
deficit.  Notably, the fiscal 2009 budget allocates a portion of
the tax levy for additional deficit reduction purposes in the
general fund and other county funds.  However, the budget also
anticipates $400,000 in community impact payments from the private
operator of the detention center which opened in December 2008.
Delays in such payments would prolong the county's financial
recovery plan past its current four year schedule.

Located on the U.S-Mexico border, Maverick County encompasses
roughly 1,300 square miles; its population has increased steadily
during the past decade.  Over half of the county's estimated 2007
population of 52,000 live in the city of Eagle Pass, the county
seat.  Area wealth levels as measured by per capita income are
very low.  Increasing North American Free Trade Agreement
international trade activity has spurred commercial/retail
development, resulting in annual average tax base growth since
fiscal 2004 of almost 8%.  As a result of the expanded commercial
activity, job creation in the county has improved.  While still
well above state and national averages, the county's unemployment
rate has declined significantly from annual averages of more than
20% in previous years.  The county's 2007 annual unemployment rate

MTI TECHNOLOGY: Court Extends Plan Filing Deadline to April 16
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
approved on Feb. 4, 2009, the stipulation of MTI Techonology
Corporation and its official committee of unsecured creditors for
the extension of the Debtor's exclusive period to file a plan from
Jan. 16, 2009, through and including April 16, 2009.

In its motion, the Debtor told the Court that the Committee is
exploring the possibility of obtaining a buyer for the Debtor's
corporate shell, through a reverse merger transaction which would
be effected through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

Headquartered in Tustin, California, MTI Technology Corp. --
http://www.mti.com/-- was a global provider of end-to-end
information infastructure for mid to large size companies.  At the
time of its bankruptcy filing, the Debtor had three primary groups
of assets, the majority of which have now been sold:

  (1) European Subsidiaries - The Debtor owned all of the issued
      and outstanding capital sock of each of MTI Technology
      GmbH, incorporated in Germany, MTI Technology Limited,
      incorporated in Scotland, and MTI France S.A.S.,
      incorporated in France.

  (2) A U.S.-based service division known as "Collective", which
      was acquired by the Debtor approximately 18 months ago.

  (3) A separate, U.S.-based sales and service division other
      than Collective.

The company filed for Chapter 11 protection on Oct. 15, 2007
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 07-13347).  Scott C. Clarkson, Esq.,
and Eve Marsella, Esq., at Clarkson, Gore & Marsella APLC,
represents the Debtor as counsel.  Omni Management Group LLC
serves as the Debtor's claim, noticing and balloting agent.  The
U.S. Trustee for Region 16 appointed nine creditors to serve on an
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Debtor's case.
Winthrop Couchot Professional Corporation represents the Committee
as general insolvency counsel.  As of Aug. 21, 2007, the Debtor
had total assets of $19,955,578 and total debts of $33,093,308.


MUZAK HOLDINGS: Chapter 11 Filing Prompts S&P's Rating Cut to 'D'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered all its ratings
on Fort Mill, South Carolina-based Muzak Holdings LLC and Muzak
LLC, including lowering the corporate credit ratings on both
companies to 'D' from 'CCC-'.  The downgrade follows Muzak's
announcement of its Chapter 11 filing.  S&P analyzes the two
companies on a consolidated basis.

S&P lowered the issue-level rating on Muzak LLC's $220 million 10%
senior notes to 'D' from 'CC', while leaving the recovery rating
unchanged at '5', indicating S&P's expectation of modest (10%-30%)
recovery for lenders.  Standard & Poor's also lowered the issue-
level ratings on Muzak Holdings LLC's 13% senior discount notes
and Muzak LLC's $115 million 9.875% senior subordinated notes to
'D' from 'C'.  The recovery ratings on these notes also remain
unchanged at '6', indicating the expectation for negligible (0%-
10%) for lenders.

"The rating action reflects the company's announcement of its
Chapter 11 filing," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Tulip Lim.  Revenue and EBITDA in the first nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2008, were roughly flat and down 2%, respectively.
"EBITDA declined because of higher operating costs relating to
increased bad debt expenses, benefit costs, and IT-related costs,"
continued Ms. Lim.  The company's attrition rate has steadily
increased over the past three quarters as a result of the weak
economy.

ORIENTAL TRADING: Moody's Pares Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa3'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered its Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings on Oriental Trading Company to Caa3
from Caa2.  Rating actions on rated debt instruments are detailed
below.  The ratings remain under review for further possible
downgrade.

The rating actions result from the continued weakness in the
company's operating results, and the increased probability that
the company will default on its debt over the next year.  In OTC's
fiscal quarter ending December 27, 2008, the company's revenues
declined in the low teen percentage range and EBITDA declined in
the low 20% range.  As a result of the weaker performance, the
company failed to meet the maximum leverage covenant in its bank
credit facilities as of December 27, 2008.  OTC has obtained a
temporary waiver from its lenders for up to 45 days, subject to
fulfillment of certain conditions.

"Oriental Trading Company has yet to demonstrate revenue and
EBITDA stability following significant increase in postal costs in
2007, and the company is being negatively impacted in the current
recessionary economic environment" said Moody's Vice President
Scott Tuhy.  He added "Moody's believes OTC's current capital
structure is unsustainable at the current level of performance.
The rating action reflects an increased probability of a default,
which could include a distressed exchange of some portion of its
debt".

Moody's review will focus on the terms and conditions of any
amendments to its financing agreements that may be obtained in the
near term.

These ratings were downgraded and remain under review for further
possible downgrade.  LGD assessments are subject to change:

  -- Probability of Default Rating to Caa3 from Caa2
  -- Corporate Family Rating to Caa3 from Caa2
  -- 1st lien Credit facilities to Caa1 from B3
  -- 2nd lien Term Loan to Ca from Caa3

Moody's last rating action on Oriental Trading Company was on
August 12, 2008 when its Probability of Default Rating was
downgraded to Caa2 from B3.

Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, Oriental Trading is a direct
marketer of value-priced novelties, toys, and party supplies, and
a leading direct marketer of home d‚cor products.

PARALLEL PETROLEUM: To Give Chesapeake Half of 35% Stake in Field
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ben Casselman at The Wall Street Journal reports that Parallel
Petroleum Corp. will turn over half its 35% interest in a 25,600-
acre gas field in Fort Worth, Texas, rather than pay to drill
wells.

WSJ relates that Chesapeake Energy already holds most of the
remaining 65%.

Parallel Petroleum has entered into a farmout agreement with
Chesapeake Energy related to its Barnett Shale gas project.  On
February 11, 2009, Parallel and Chesapeake Energy entered into a
farmout agreement related to Parallel's approximate 35% interest
in their Barnett Shale gas project.  Under the farmout agreement,
for all wells drilled on Parallel's Barnett Shale leasehold from
November 1, 2008, through
December 31, 2016, Parallel has agreed to assign to Chesapeake
100% of Parallel's leasehold in the Barnett Shale, subject to
these terms:

          -- All wells drilled from November 1, 2008 through
             December 31, 2009, and all wells drilled during each
             succeeding calendar year through 2016 will be
             treated as a separate project or payout period,
             creating eight (8) separate projects or payout
             periods.

          -- At the time Chesapeake Energy commences the drilling
             of a well during one of the payout periods, Parallel
             will assign to Chesapeake Energy 100% of its
             leasehold interest within the subject unit or lease,
             reserving and retaining a 50% reversionary interest
             that will vest after Chesapeake recovers 150% of its
             costs for a particular payout period.  Until 150%
             payout has  been reached, Chesapeake Energy will
             fund 100% of Parallel's costs for drilling,
             completing and operating wells during the payout
             period.

          -- On each project, Chesapeake Energy is entitled to
             receive all revenues from Parallel's reversionary
             interest until Chesapeake Energy receives revenues
             totaling 150% of the drilling, completion and
             operating costs Chesapeake Energy incurs in funding
             Parallel's reversionary interest.

          -- Upon reaching the 150% payout level for a given
             project, 50% of the interest assigned to Chesapeake
             Energy will revert back to Parallel.

         -- After 150% project payout, Parallel will pay all
             costs and receive all revenues attributable to its
             50% reversionary interest in each project.

          -- For all wells drilled after January 1, 2017,
             Parallel will pay all costs and receive all revenues
             attributable to its 50% reversionary interest.

          -- Parallel is retaining all of its interest in wells
             commenced prior to November 1, 2008, except for
             three (3) wells commenced in late October 2008.
             Parallel is retaining all of its interest in
             approximately 90 gross (22.4 net) producing wells
             and 31 gross (9.49 net) wells in progress.

Parallel estimates that its Barnett Shale leasehold operated by
Chesapeake Energy and subject to the farmout agreement is
approximately 25,600 gross (9,300 net) acres.  Parallel
anticipates that approximately 61 gross (10.0 net) wells will be
drilled and included in the 2009 payout period from November 1,
2008 through December 31, 2009.  Payout of each project will
depend on drilling and completion costs, timing of completion and
pipeline connection to sales, and natural gas prices, among other
matters.

As of Parallel 31, 2008, Parallel had 37 gross (13.26 net) wells
in progress.  Of the 37 gross wells, 34 gross (12.12 net) wells
were shut-in awaiting pipeline, completing or awaiting completion,
and 3 gross (1.14 net) wells were drilling.  Of the 34 wells that
were shut-in awaiting pipeline, completing or awaiting completion,
31 gross (9.49 net) wells were in the Barnett Shale, 2 gross (1.75
net) wells were in the Wolfcamp, and 1 gross (0.88 net) well was
in the Permian Basin.  Of the 3 wells that were drilling, 1 gross
(0.01 net) well was drilling in the Wolfcamp, and 1 gross (0.88
net) well was drilling in the Permian Basin, and 1 gross (0.25
net) well was drilling in the Cotton Valley.

Revised 2009 CAPEX Budget

Parallel's revised 2009 CAPEX budget is approximately
$29.1 million. This is a 76% decrease when compared to the
$118.8 million preliminary 2009 CAPEX budget.  The $89.7 million
decrease is associated with reduced expenditures in the company's
North Texas Barnett Shale gas project as a result of its farmout
agreement with Chesapeake Energy and decreases in previously
planned drilling activity in the New Mexico Wolfcamp gas and
Permian Basin oil projects and is allocated as follows:

          -- $51.5 million decrease in the Barnett Shale,
          -- $9.7 million decrease in the Wolfcamp,
          -- $28.3 million decrease in the Permian Basin, and
          -- $0.2 million net decrease in the company's other
             projects.

Parallel's $29.1 million revised 2009 CAPEX budget includes
approximately $26.7 million for the completion of approximately 37
gross (13.3 net) wells that were in progress as of
December 31, 2008, the drilling and completion of approximately 7
gross (4.4 net) new wells, and the workover or conversion-to-
injection of approximately 22 gross (19.3 net) existing wells.
Approximately $2.4 million of the budget is allocated for the
purchase of leasehold and seismic data.  Of the total
$29.1 million revised CAPEX budget, Parallel has budgeted
approximately $12.1 million for its Permian Basin oil projects,
approximately $10.2 million for completion of previously drilled
wells in its Barnett Shale gas project and approximately
$5.2 million for its New Mexico Wolfcamp gas project.  The
remainder of the 2009 budget will be allocated to the Company's
other projects.

Larry C. Oldham, Parallel's President, commented, "During 2009,
our top priorities are to maximize liquidity and maintain
financial flexibility by funding our $29.1 million CAPEX budget
out of operating cash flow, while positioning ourselves to
capitalize on potential growth opportunities.  In November 2008,
we announced a $118.8 million preliminary CAPEX budget for 2009,
which included $61.7 million for the non-operated Barnett Shale
gas project.  Because of our farmout to Chesapeake, our 2009
capital requirements for the Barnett Shale gas project have
dropped 80% to $10.2 million for the estimated completion costs of
the 31 gross (9.49 net) wells that were in progress at year-end
2008."

Mr. Oldham further commented, "Due to the current disconnect
between low oil and natural gas prices and the relatively high
cost of goods and services, we are also reducing our 2009 CAPEX
budget in our Permian oil projects and our New Mexico Wolfcamp gas
project, all of which are under company control.  We will continue
to monitor commodity markets, service costs, economic conditions
and other factors and may further adjust our
$29.1 million 2009 CAPEX budget based upon product prices, service
costs and workover project inventory, among other factors.  In the
meantime, these measures will help us through these challenging
times."

                     About Parallel Petroleum

Parallel Petroleum Corporation is a small independent exploration
and production company based in Midland, Texas.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 4, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Parallel Petroleum
Corporation's $150 million senior unsecured notes to
Caa2, LGD5 (80%) from Caa1, LGD5 (77%).  Moody's affirmed
Parallel's B3 Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default
Rating, but changed the outlook to negative from stable.

According to the TCR on Jan. 28, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services took several rating actions on oil and gas exploration
and production companies after an industry review.  S&P downgraded
Parallel's rating to 'B/Negative/--' from - 'B/Stable/--'.  " The
rating action reflects S&P's concerns about lower EBITDA due
to weaker natural gas and crude oil prices," S&P said.  "Lower
earnings are pressuring Parallel's current tight liquidity and, in
turn, its ability to remain compliant with its financial covenants
such as debt to EBITDA of less than 4x."


PARMALAT SPA: Banca Popolare Group Settles for EUR12.5 Million
--------------------------------------------------------------
Parmalat S.p.A. said that it has reached an agreement with the
group of banks and companies controlled by Banca Popolare
dell'Emilia Rompagna in connection with the disputes between them.

As a result of these agreements, the BPER Group without
acknowledging any liability, will pay to Parmalat a total of
EUR12.5 million.  The companies of the BPER Group have waived the
right to demand the inclusion among the liabilities of the
companies under extraordinary administration of the amounts
refunded as a result of actions to void.

The agreements resolve all pending disputes between Parmalat and
the companies of the BPER Group in connection with transactions
executed prior to the Parmalat Group being declared insolvent in
December 2003.

According to Bloomberg News, Parmalat Chief Executive Officer
Enrico Bondi has recovered more than EUR2 billion from dozens of
Italian and international banks after seeking damages or
attempting to "claw back" financing through claims the lenders
helped Parmalat's former managers hide the true state of the
company's finances.  Mr. Bondi, according to the report, has said
banks should have spotted the irregularities that allowed Parmalat
to hide billions of euros of losses from the public before its
collapse in December 2003.

PEANUT CORP: Product Recall, Salmonella Outbreak Force Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Peanut Corporation of America filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Virginia on Friday, various reports say.

Peanut Corp. cited the negative economic effects of recent
product recalls, which have been "extremely devastating" to its
financial condition, Reuters relates.

"As you may know, certain recent events have made it necessary for
Peanut Corporation of America to seek protection under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.  Effective immediately, all corporate operations
will cease," according to a notice posted on the company's Web
site, http://www.peanutcorp.com/

Any questions regarding the company or the operations of its
affiliates, Plainview Peanut Co., LLC and Tidewater Blanching,
LLC, should be forwarded to Andy Goldstein, the company's
bankruptcy counsel at (540) 343-9800.

Plainview Peanut Company on February 10 suspended operation of its
Texas processing facility while the Texas Department of State
Health Services and the Food and Drug Administration complete
their investigation of the plant's procedures and records of food
safety.  PPC voluntarily took the action to cooperate with the
TDSHS during its food safety investigation.

On January 28, PCA announced it was voluntarily recalling all
peanuts and peanut products processed in its Blakely, Georgia
facility since January 1, 2007 because they have the potential to
be contaminated with Salmonella.

According to Reuters, the Salmonella outbreak traced to one of the
Company's plants led to one of the biggest product recalls in U.S.
history.

The Company said in court documents that it had hired turnaround
firm The Finley Group to initially help it consider Chapter 11
protection, which would have allowed it to reorganize under
bankruptcy protection or try to sell parts of its business as a
going concern, Reuters notes.

Peanut Corp. listed both assets and liabilities in the range of
$1 million to $10 million.  The case is In re: Peanut Corporation
of America, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Virginia,
No. 09-60452, according to Reuters.

PILGRIM'S PRIDE: Posts $228.8 Million 4th Quarter 2008 Net Loss
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, for the quarter ending December 27,
2008, reported a net loss of $228.8 million, or $3.09 per common
share, which included a negative gross margin of $83.4 million.
As of December 27, 2008, the Company's accumulated deficit
aggregated $545.9 million.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company used $112.0 million
of cash in operations.  At December 27, 2008, the company had
cash and cash equivalents totaling $32.6 million.  In addition,
the Company incurred reorganization costs of $13.3 million in the
first quarter of 2009.  These costs included (i) financing fees
associated with the DIP Credit Agreement, (ii) professional fees
charged for postpetition reorganization services, and (iii) fees
related to the termination of the Company's Amended and Restated
Receivables Purchase Agreement dated September 26, 2008.

Richard A. Cogdill, the company's chief financial and accounting
officer, explained that Pilgrim's Pride continued to face an
extremely challenging business environment in the quarter ending
December 27, 2008, for several reasons, including:

  (a) volatility of market prices for feed ingredients, which
      decreased in the first quarter of 2009 after reaching
      unprecedented levels in the last half of 2008;

  (b) the company's agreement, pursuant to a covenant in the DIP
      Credit Agreement, not to enter into any hedging
      arrangements or other derivative financial instruments
      without the prior written approval of lenders holding more
      than 50% of the commitments under the DIP Credit
      Agreement; and

  (c) the unimproved low historic levels of market prices for
      chicken products.

In light of these, Mr. Cogdill said there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

According to Mr. Cogdill, the Consolidated Financial Statements
accompanying Pilgrim's Pride's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
December 27, 2008, do not include any adjustments related to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities or any other
adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable
to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to return to historic levels of profitability
and, in the near term, restructure its obligations in a manner
that allows it to obtain confirmation of a plan of reorganization
by the Bankruptcy Court, Mr. Cogdill stated.

Management, Mr. Cogdill added, is addressing the Company's
ability to return to profitability by conducting profitability
reviews at certain facilities in an effort to reduce
inefficiencies and manufacturing costs.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company reduced headcount
by 265 non-production employees.  The Company also announced that
it would reduce production capacity at a certain production
complex in the second quarter of 2009 by eliminating a work
shift; the action will result in a headcount reduction of 505
production employees.

During 2008, the Company reduced production capacity by closing
two production complexes and consolidating operations at a third
production complex into its other facilities.  These actions
resulted in a headcount reduction of 2,300 production employees.

On November 7, 2008, the Board of Directors appointed a Chief
Restructuring Officer for the Company.  The appointment of a CRO
was a requirement included in the waivers received from the
Company's lenders on October 27, 2008.  The CRO will assist the
Company with cost reduction initiatives, restructuring plans
development and long-term liquidity improvement.  The CRO reports
to the Board of Directors of the Company.

To emerge from bankruptcy, Mr. Cogdill said Pilgrim's Pride will
need to obtain alternative financing to replace the DIP Credit
Agreement and to satisfy the secured claims of its prepetition
creditors.

PILGRIM'S PRIDE: Provides Updates on Legal Proceedings
------------------------------------------------------
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, in its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended December 27, 2008, provided updates of its pending legal
proceedings:

(1) ERISA Lawsuits

On December 17, 2008, Kenneth Patterson filed lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall
Division, against Lonnie "Bo" Pilgrim, Lonnie "Ken" Pilgrim,
Clifford E. Butler, J. Clinton Rivers, Richard A. Cogdill, Renee
N. DeBar, Pilgrim's Pride Compensation Committee and other
unnamed defendants.

On January 2, 2009, Denise M. Smalls filed a lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall
Division, against Bo Pilgrim, Ken Pilgrim, Clifford Butler, J.
Clinton Rivers, Richard Cogdill, Renee DeBar, and the PPC
Compensation Committee and other unnamed defendants.

The Patterson complaint, brought pursuant to Section 502 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 alleges that the
individual defendants breached fiduciary duties to participants
and beneficiaries of the Pilgrim's Pride Stock Investment Plan,
as administered through the Retirement Savings Plan, and the To-
Ricos, Inc. Employee Savings and Retirement Plan.

The Small complaint and the allegations are similar to those
filed in the Patterson case.

Mr. Patterson and Ms. Smalls separately purports to represent a
class of all persons or entities who were participants in or
beneficiaries of the Plan at any time between May 5, 2008,
through the present and whose accounts held Company stock or
units in Pilgrim's Pride stock.

On January 23, 2009, Mr. Patterson filed a motion to consolidate
into his case the Smalls lawsuit.

Although the Company is not a named defendant in the action, its
bylaws require it to indemnify its current and former directors
and officers from any liabilities and expenses incurred by them
in connection with actions they took in good faith while serving
as an officer or director.  The likelihood of an unfavorable
outcome or the amount or range of any possible loss to the
Company cannot be determined at this time, Richard A. Cogdill,
the company's chief financial and accounting officer, stated.

(2) Securities Lawsuits

On October 29, 2008, Ronald Alcaldo filed a lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall
Division, against the company, Bo Pilgrim, Ken Pilgrim, J.
Clinton Rivers, Richard Cogdill and Clifford Butler.

The complaint alleges that the Defendants violated Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by allegedly
failing to disclose that:

  (a) the Company's hedges to protect it from adverse changes in
      costs were not working and in fact were harming the
      Company's results more than helping;

  (b) the Company's inability to continue to use illegal workers
      would adversely affect its margins;

  (c) the Company's financial results were continuing to
      deteriorate rather than improve, such that the Company's
      capital structure was threatened;

  (d) the Company was in a much worse position than its
      competitors due to its inability to raise prices for
      consumers sufficient to offset cost increases, whereas it
      competitors were able to raise prices to offset higher
      costs affecting the industry; and

  (e) the Company had not made sufficient changes to its
      business to succeed in the more difficult industry
      conditions.

Mr. Alcaldo purports to represent a class of all persons or
entities who acquired the common stock of the Company from May 5,
2008, through September 24, 2008.

The complaint seeks unspecified injunctive relief and an
unspecified amount of damages.

On November 21, 2008, the Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss
and supporting brief, asserting that Mr. Alcaldo failed to
identify any misleading statements, failed to adequately plead
scienter against any Defendants, failed to adequately plead loss
causation, failed to adequately plead controlling person
liability and, as to the omissions that Mr. Alcaldo alleged the
Defendants did not make, the Defendants alleged that the
omissions were, in fact, disclosed.

Mr. Cogdill says the Company intends to defend vigorously against
the merits of the action.

On November 13, 2008, Chad Howes filed a lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall
Division, against the Company, Bo Pilgrim, Ken Pilgrim, J.
Clinton Rivers, Richard Cogdill and Clifford Butler.  The
allegations in the Howes complaint are identical to those in the
Alcaldo complaint.  Mr. Cogdill says the defendants have not yet
been served with the Howes complaint.

On December 29, 2008, the Pennsylvania Public Fund Group filed a
Motion to Consolidate the Howes case into the Alcaldo case, and
filed a Motion to be Appointed Lead Plaintiff and for Approval of
Lead Plaintiff's Selection of Lead Counsel and Liaison Counsel.
Also on that date, the Pilgrim's Investor Group, of which Mr.
Alcaldo is part of, filed a Motion to Consolidate the two cases
and a Motion to be Appointed Lead Plaintiff.

The Pilgrim's Investor Group has subsequently filed a Notice of
Non-Opposition to the Pennsylvania Public Fund Group's Motion for
Appointment of Lead Plaintiff.  Mr. Howes did not seek to be
appointed Lead Plaintiff.

(3) Fair Labor Standard Act Actions

The Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor
conducted an industry-wide investigation to ascertain compliance
with various wage and hour issues, including the compensation of
employees for the time spent on activities like donning and
doffing clothing and personal protective equipment.

Due, in part, to the government investigation and the recent US
Supreme Court decision in In re IBP, Inc. v. Alvarez, employees
have brought claims against the Company.

The claims filed against the Company as of February 5, 2009,
include:

  * Juan Garcia, et al. v. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, a/k/a
    Wampler Foods, Inc., filed in Pennsylvania state court on
    January 27, 2006, and subsequently removed to the US
    District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania;

  * Esperanza Moya, et al. v. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation and
    Maxi Staff, LLC, filed March 23, 2006 in the Eastern
    District of Pennsylvania;

    February 28, 2007, in the Western District of Paducah,
    Kentucky;

    January 30, 2007, in the Northern District of Georgia, Rome
    Division;

  * Angela Allen et al v. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation filed
    March 27, 2007, in United States District Court, Middle
    District of Georgia, Athens Division;

  * Daisy Hammond and Felicia Pope v. Pilgrim's Pride
    Corporation, in the Gainesville Division, Northern District
    of Georgia, filed on June 6, 2007;

    District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta
    Division, filed on May 21, 2007;

  * Kristin Roebuck et al v. Pilgrim?s Pride Corporation, in the
    US District Court, Athens, Georgia, Middle District, filed
    on May 23, 2007; and

  * Elaine Chao v. Pilgrim?s Pride Corporation, in the US
    District Court, Dallas, Texas, Northern District, filed on
    August 6, 2007.

The employees generally purport to bring a collective action for
unpaid wages, unpaid overtime wages, liquidated damages, costs,
attorneys' fees, and declaratory or injunctive relief and
generally allege that they are not paid for the time it takes to
either clear security, walk to their respective workstations, don
and doff protective clothing, and sanitize clothing and
equipment.

The presiding judge in the consolidated action in El Dorado
issued an initial Case Management order on July 9, 2007.  As of
October 2, 2008, about 12,605 employees have opted into the
class.

As of February 5, 2009, these lawsuits have been filed against
Gold Kist, now merged into Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, asserting
claims for unpaid wages:

  * Merrell v. Gold Kist, Inc., in the US District Court for the
    Northern District of Georgia, Gainesville Division, filed on
    December 21, 2006;

  * Harris v. Gold Kist, Inc., in the US District Court for the
    Northern District of Georgia, Newnan Division, filed on
    December 21, 2006;

  * Blanke v. Gold Kist, Inc., in the US District Court for the
    Southern District of Georgia, Waycross Division, filed on
    December 21, 2006;

  * Clarke v. Gold Kist, Inc., in the US District Court for the
    Middle District of Georgia, Athens Division, filed on

    the Northern District of Alabama, Middle Division, filed on

    the Northern District of Alabama, Middle Division, filed on
    October 2, 2006;

  * Benbow v. Gold Kist, Inc., in the US District Court for the
    District of South Carolina, Columbia Division, filed on
    October 2, 2006; and

  * Bonds v. Gold Kist, Inc., in the US District Court for the
    Northern District of Alabama, Northwestern Division, filed
    on October 2, 2006.

On April 23, 2007, Pilgrim's filed a Motion to Transfer and
Consolidate with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
requesting that all of the pending Gold Kist cases be
consolidated into one case.

Pilgrim's, however, withdrew its Motion to Transfer subject to
the employees' counsel's agreement to consolidate the seven
separate actions into the pending Benbow case.

As of February 5, 2009, there are about 3,006 named plaintiffs
and opt-in plaintiffs in the consolidated cases.  The Company and
Plaintiffs have jointly requested the Court to remove 367 opt-in
plaintiffs because they do not fall within the class definition.

PILGRIM'S PRIDE: Seeks March 2, 2009 Extension of Removal Period
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 9027 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure sets forth
the time periods for filing notices to remove claims or causes of
action.  Specifically, Rule 9027(a)(2) provides that if the claim
or cause of action in a civil action is pending when a case under
the Bankruptcy Code is commenced, a notice of removal may be
filed only within the longest of:

(a) 90 days after the order for relief in the case under the
     Bankruptcy Code,

(b) 30 days after entry of an order terminating a stay, if the
     claim or cause of action in a civil action has been stayed
     under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or

(c) 30 days after a trustee qualifies in a Chapter 11
     reorganization case but not later than 180 days after the
     order for relief.

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 9027(a)(2), Pilgrim's Pride
Corporation and its affiliates must file removal notices with
respect to any pending civil actions or proceedings that have not
been stayed by March 2, 2009.  Rule 9006, however, permits
bankruptcy courts to extend the Removal Period for cause.

Stephen A. Youngman, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, relates that since the Petition Date, the Debtors
and their professionals have devoted their time to the critical
tasks of stabilizing their business operations.  As a result, the
Debtors require additional time to complete the task of analyzing
whether any pending Civil Action should be removed to the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Moreover, Mr. Youngman assets that extension of the Removal
Period will enable the Debtors to complete their review of the
Civil Actions and file notices of removal where appropriate.

Absent the requested enlargement of the Removal Period, the
Debtors will not be able to complete the review adequately, and
the result could unnecessarily hinder their ability to prosecute
successfully their Chapter 11 cases, Mr. Youngman contends.

For these reasons, the Debtors ask Judge D. Michael Lynn of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to
extend the Removal Period until the date an order is entered
confirming any Chapter 11 plan in the Debtors' bankruptcy cases.

A hearing on the Debtors' request will be held on February 24,
2009.  The Court granted the Debtors' request for an expedited
hearing on the motion.

PILGRIM'S PRIDE: Tussles with U.S. Trustee on Consulting Deals
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Michael D. Lynn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas deferred entering an order on the
request of Pilgrim's Pride Corp. to enter into consulting
agreements with J. Clinton Rivers, the Debtors' former chief
executive officer, and Robert A. Wright, the Debtors' chief
operation officer.  The Court asked the U.S. Trustee for Region 6
and the Debtors to submit post-trial briefs in support of their
stand regarding the request.

The Court conducted a trial on the request on February 3, 2009.
During the trial, the Debtors' chief restructuring officer,
William Snyder, testified.  The post-trial briefs are intended to
address whether the Debtors may be authorized to expend estate
funds to purchase a non-compete agreement under Section 363(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code.  The Canadian Press related that Judge Lynn
expressed dislike over the Consulting Agreements, which prompted
him to order the submission of the post-trial briefs.

The U.S. Trustee has objected to the request, arguing that the
consulting agreements are key employee retention agreements
and should be properly governed by Section 503(c)(1).

In its post-trial brief, the U.S. Trustee maintains that the
Court cannot approve the Consulting Agreements as non-compete
agreements that are a proper exercise of the Debtors' business
judgment pointing out that:

  (1) payments for the non-compete and non-solicitation
      covenants should be viewed as termination payments subject
      to the Section 503(c)(2) cap;

  (2) assuming that the Court evaluates the issue under
      Section 363, spending an additional $490,000 for three to
      four month non-competition and non-solicitation covenants
      is not a proper exercise of business judgment because
      courts would enforce the three year non-disclosure
      covenants in the Rivers and Wright Separations Agreements
      more readily than a non-compete or non-solicitation
      covenant; and

  (3) recasting the Consulting Agreements as non-compete
      agreements subject to the business judgment test violates
      procedural due process.

On behalf of the U.S. Trustee, Lisa L. Lambert, Esq., trial
attorney, in Dallas, Texas, points out that the Debtors, during
the trial, conceded that the Consulting Agreements were not
entered in the ordinary course of business, and the evidences
establishes that Messrs. Rivers and Wright are not actually
consulting.

Ms. Lambert argues that it is illogical and unnecessary to pay
$490,000 for three to four months coverage under a difficult to
enforce non-compete or non-solicitation covenant when the Debtors
already have paid $286,000 to purchase a more readily enforceable
non-disclosure covenant in their Severance Agreements with
Messrs. Rivers and Wright.

The Debtors, in their post-trial brief, maintain that the
Consulting Agreements will add value to the Debtors' estates by
securing the consulting and advisory services of Messrs. Rivers
and Wright and by preventing the former executives from competing
with the Debtors during the transitional period.

Martin A. Sosland, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, on behalf of the Debtors, asserts that the Debtors
will gain valuable consideration from the Consulting Agreements
in the form of insulation of the Debtors' businesses from
competition by the former executives and the value conferred by
their services.

In light of these benefits, the Consulting Agreements, entered
into in good faith, with due care, and at arm's-length, readily
constitute a sound exercise of business judgment, Mr. Sosland
asserts.  He notes that no creditor, equity security holder or
other party with an economic stake in the Debtors has challenged
the Debtors' business judgment or objected to the Motion on any
grounds.

The Debtors, accordingly, pursuant to Section 363(b), maintain
that the Court should grant the Motion and authorize the Debtors
to enter into the Consulting Agreements.

The U.S. Trustee insists that the Debtors' motion should not be
approved.

PINNACLE BANK: Oregon Regulators Appoint FDIC as Receiver
---------------------------------------------------------
Pinnacle Bank, based in Beaverton, Oregon, was closed on Fri.,
Feb. 13, 2009, by the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate
Securities, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.  To protect the depositors, the
FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with
Washington Trust Bank, based in Spokane, Washington, to assume all
of the deposits of Pinnacle Bank.

Due to the observance of Presidents' Day on Mon., Feb. 16, 2009,
Pinnacle Bank's sole office will reopen as a branch of Washington
Trust Bank on Tues., Feb. 17, 2009.  Depositors of Pinnacle Bank
will automatically become depositors of Washington Trust Bank.
Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC

As of December 31, 2008, Pinnacle Bank had total assets of
approximately $73 million and total deposits of $64 million.  In
addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank,
including those from brokers, Washington Trust Bank agreed to
purchase approximately $72 million in assets at a discount of
$7.6 million.  The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later
disposition.

The FDIC and Washington Trust Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction.  Washington Trust Bank will share in the losses on
approximately $66 million in assets covered under the agreement.
The loss-sharing arrangement is projected to maximize returns on
the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector.  The
agreement also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $12.1 million.  Washington Trust Bank's acquisition of all
the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's
Deposit Insurance Fund compared to alternatives.  Pinnacle Bank is
the thirteenth FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this
year, and the first in Oregon since Far West, Federal Savings
Bank, Portland, was closed on May 23, 1991.

PLIANT CORP: Can Access $25 Mil. BoNY Facility on Interim
---------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan L. Shannon the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware authorized Pliant Corporation and its
debtor-affiliates to access, on an interim basis, $25 million in
postpetition financing under a debtor-in-possession agreement
dated Feb. 10, 2009, with a syndicate of financial institutions
that include The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent;
and DDJ Capital Management LLC, WCP LP, WCIP LP, WCOP Ltd., and
Wayzata Opportunities Fund, as lenders.

The Debtors and BoNY are parties to an indenture dated June 14,
2007, wherein the Debtors issued $24 million in 18% senior
subordinated notes guaranteed by Pliant Corporation International,
Pliant Film Products of Mexico Inc., Pliant Packaging of Canada,
Uniplast Inc. and Uniplast US. Inc.  As of their bankruptcy
filing, the Debtors owe $26.3 million to the bank.  The
obligations under the subordinated notes indenture are unsecured.

The ad hoc committee of certain holders of 11-1/8% senior secured
notes due 2009 objects the Debtors' request to obtain financing
arguing that the proposed DIP facility should not be approved
because it violates the intercreditor agreement dated Feb. 17,
2004.  The financing, according to the committee, is in the best
interest of on creditor, the Debtors' first lien noteholders.
Furthermore, the committee said the Debtors and noteholders have
hold back information from other parties-in-interest citing the
Debtors' failure to disclose the lock-up agreement with certain of
the noteholders and any restructuring milestones, among other
things.

Accordingly, the committee asks the Court to direct the Debtors
provide a complete adequate protection package to the second lien
committee and other holders of second lien notes.

Proceeds of the loans will be used to fund working capital and
other general corporate needs and pay the Chapter 11 and CCAA
expenses including professional fees.  In addition, the Debtors
provided a budget, wherein they plan to use any funds advanced
during the interim period under the commitment to pay:

    i) payroll expenses;

   ii) post-petition trade amounts;

  iii) DIP financing costs and interest;

   iv) various prepetition claims that are subject of other
       motions filed concurrently, as authorized by this Court;
       and

    v) working capital and other general corporate purposes.

                        About Pliant Corp.

Headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, Pliant Corporation produces
polymer-based films and flexible packaging products for food,
beverage, personal care, medical, agricultural and industrial
applications.  The company has operations in Australia, New
Zealand, Germany and Mexico.  The Debtor and 10 of its affiliates
filed for chapter 11 protection on Jan. 3, 2006 (Bankr. D. Del.
Lead Case No. 06-10001). James F. Conlan, Esq., at Sidley Austin
LLP, and Edmon L. Morton, Esq., and Robert S. Brady, Esq., at
Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor, represented the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors tapped McMillan Binch
Mendelsohn LLP, as their Canadian bankruptcy counsel. As of Sept.
30, 2005, the company had $604,275,000 in total assets and
$1,197,438,000 in total debts. The Debtors emerged from chapter 11
protection on July 19, 2006.

                             *   *   *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct 20, 2008,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered the corporate credit
rating on Pliant to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  At the same time, Standard &
Poor's lowered the issue rating on the company's first-lien senior
secured notes to 'CCC-' from 'B-' and the second-lien secured
notes to 'CC' from 'CCC'.  "The downgrade reflects heightened
concerns regarding Pliant's ability to refinance pending debt
maturities during the next few months," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Ket Gondhan, "particularly given the company's
highly leveraged financial profile and challenging credit market
conditions."


PLIANT CORP: Moody's Cuts Rating to 'Ca' on Ch. 11 Filing
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Probability of Default
Rating of Pliant Corporation to D from Caa2 and the Corporate
Family Rating to Ca from Caa2. Other instrument ratings are
detailed below. The downgrades follow the company's announcement
on February 11, 2009 that it filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy code.
Moody's will withdraw all of Pliant's ratings shortly.

Moody's took these rating actions:

  -- Downgraded $370 million senior secured 1st lien 11.85% PIK
     notes due 6/15/09 to Ca (LGD 4, 59%) from Caa1 (LGD3, 40%)

  -- Downgraded $7.8 million senior secured 1st lien 11.35% notes
     due 6/15/09, to Ca (LGD 4, 59%) from Caa1 (LGD3, 40%)

  -- Downgraded $250 million senior secured 2nd lien 11.125%
     notes due 9/1/09, to C (LGD 5, 89%) from Caa3 (LGD 5, 79%)

  -- Downgraded Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa2

  -- Downgraded Probability of Default Rating to D from Caa2

  -- Affirmed Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-4

The outlook was changed to stable from negative.

The downgrade of the PDR to D reflects the company's formal
bankruptcy filing, which Moody's classifies as a "default" event,
consistent with the "D" Probability of Default rating.  The filing
includes Pliant's US and Canadian operations, but not it's
European, Latin American or Australian operations.  The US
operation accounts for over 80% of revenue.  The company advised
that its "pre-negotiated" financial restructuring plan will
eliminate all of its high-yield debt if approved.  As of September
30, 2008, the company had approximately $380 million outstanding
on its senior secured first lien notes, $250 million on its senior
secured second lien notes, $24 million on its senior subordinated
notes, and $173 million on its asset based revolving credit
facility (not rated by Moody's).  Under the proposed
reorganization plan, the revolving credit facility would be repaid
in full.  The reorganization plan would grant all the new stock to
the senior secured first lien note holders.  Other creditors would
receive warrants to buy new stock.  Purportedly, approximately
two-thirds of the senior secured first lien note holders support
the plan. Pliant also advised it had arranged access to $75
million in interim financing.  Further details of the filing plan
or financing were not disclosed.


PLIANT CORP: Chapter 11 Protection Filing Cues S&P's 'D' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Schaumburg, Illinois-based Pliant Corp. to 'D'
from 'CCC'.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered its issue rating on
the company's first-lien senior secured notes to 'D' from 'CCC-'
with a recovery rating of '5', reflecting S&P's expectation that
the first-lien noteholders are likely to realize modest (10% to
30%) recovery.  S&P also lowered the issue rating on the second-
lien senior secured notes to 'D' from 'CC' with a recovery rating
of '6', indicating S&P's expectation for negligible (0% to 10%)
recovery.

"The downgrades follow Pliant's Feb. 11 announcement that it filed
for Chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the
District of Delaware.  The bankruptcy filing comes as the company
faced substantial debt maturities due in 2009," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Ket Gondha.

The company has also filed a reorganization plan based on a pre-
petition compromise and lockup agreement with first-lien
noteholders to exchange first-lien notes for all of the equity in
the reorganized entity.  To the extent second-lien noteholders,
senior subordinated noteholders, and general unsecured claimants
vote to accept the plan, they will receive a pro rata distribution
of new warrants.  As of the filing, Pliant owed about $393 million
on its senior secured first-lien notes and $262 million on its
senior secured second-lien notes.  The company had emerged from a
previous Chapter 11 filing in July 2006.

With annual revenues of about $1.1 billion, Pliant is primarily a
U.S. producer of extruded film and flexible-packaging products for
food, personal care, medical, industrial, and agricultural
markets.  Major products include films for sale to converters of
flexible packaging; stretch films used to bundle and protect
palletized loads during shipping and storage; PVC films used by
supermarkets to wrap meat, cheese, and produce; printed rollstock
bags and sheets used to package food and consumer products; and
personal care, agricultural, and medical films.  The company also
has operations in Canada, Mexico, Germany, and Australia, which
account for about 22% of sales.


PM LIQUIDATING: R. Rajaratnam & Galleon Management Has Zero Stake
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Raj Rajaratnam and Galleon Management, L.P., disclosed that they
have ceased to be a beneficial owner of PM Liquidating Corp.'s
common stock as of February 13, 2009.

Headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, ProxyMed Inc. f/k/a MedUnite,
Inc. -- http://www.medavanthealth.com-- facilitates the exchange
of medical claim and clinical information.  On Sept. 17, 2008, the
company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation to change its name from ProxyMed, Inc. to PM
Liquidating Corp.

The company and two of its affiliates filed for Chapter 11
protection on July 23, 2008 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.08-
11551).  Kara Hammond Coyle, Esq., and Michael R. Nestor, Esq., at
Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, L.L.P., represent the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.

The Debtors indicated $40,655,000 in total consolidated assets and
$47,640,000 in total consolidated debts as of December 31, 2007.
In its petition, ProxyMed Transaction Services, Inc. indicated
$10,000,0000 in estimated assets and $10,000,000 in estimated
debts.

At Aug. 31, 2008, the company reported total assets of
$13,500,145, total liabilities of $28,014,859, and stockholders'
deficit of $14,514,714.


POLAROID CORP: Assets Undervalued in Sale, Sovereign Bancorp Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Trademarks of Polaroid Corp. were significantly undervalued in a
deal to sell its assets, including its brand name, to PHC
Acquisitions, LLC, an affiliate of Genii Capital, S.A., Reuters
reports, citing Sovereign Bancorp.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on January 30, 2009,
Polaroid Holding Company entered into a "stalking horse" Asset
Purchase Agreement with PHC Acquisitions.  Under the terms of the
agreement, PHC Acquisitions would acquire certain of the company's
assets including, but not limited to, all of Polaroid's
intellectual property rights and the "Polaroid" name and brand.

According to Reuters, the auction will be held in March.

Reuters relates that Sovereign Bancorp said in a filing with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware last week that
the "mid-range value" of the Polaroid trademarks is $300 million.
According to court documents, Sovereign Bancorp said that it
objects "to what appears to be substantially inadequate
consideration for the Polaroid Trademarks, which it believes have
a value far in excess of the Proposed Purchase Price."

Sovereign Bancorp said that Acorn Capital is a secured creditor of
Polaroid Corp., owed about $273 million, court documents state.
Acorn Capital had borrowed funds from Sovereign Bancorp and is in
default on that loan, according to court documents.  Sovereign
Bancorp, which was seeking to recover money on that loan, said
that it was an interested party in the proceedings, Reuters
relates.

                   About Polaroid Corporation

Polaroid Corporation -- http://www.polaroid.com-- makes and
sells films, cameras, and other imaging products.  The company and
20 of its affiliates first filed for bankruptcy protection on
October 12, 2001 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 01-10864).
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP represented the Debtors
in their previous restructuring efforts.  At that time, the
company blamed steep decline in its revenue and the resulting
impact on its liquidity.

On June 28, 2002, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Dealware approved the purchase of substantially all of Polaroid's
business by One Equity Partners.  The bid provides for cash
consideration of $255 million plus a 35% interest in the new
company for unsecured creditors.

Polaroid Corp., together with 11 affiliates, filed its second
voluntary petition for Chapter 11 on Dec. 18, 2008 (Bankr. D.
Minn., Lead Case No. 08-46617).  Judge Gregory F. Kishel handles
the Chapter 22 case.  James A. Lodoen, Esq., at Lindquist & Vennum
P.L.L.P, is the Debtors' counsel.

According to the company, the financial structuring process and
the second bankruptcy filing are the result of events at Petters
Group Worldwide, which has owned Polaroid since 2005.  The founder
of Petters Group and certain associates are currently under
investigation for alleged acts of fraud that have compromised the
financial condition of Polaroid and other entities owned by
Petters Group.  The company and its leadership team are not
subjects of the ongoing investigation involving Petters Group.

PRINCETON OFFICE: Plan Filing Period Extended to May 7, 2009
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey extended
to May 7, 2009, Princeton Office Park, L.P.'s exclusive period to
file a plan of reorganization and its exclusive to solicit
acceptances of said plan through and including July 6, 2009.  This
is the first extension of the Debtors' exclusive periods.

The Debtor related to the Court that it is preparing its proposed
plan of reorganization and it intends to file the same in short
order.  The plan will provide for payment of all creditors over a
four-year period, possibly with interest.

The Debtor added that it anticipates objecting to the claim of
Plymouth Park (for unpaid real estate taxes in excess of
$1,700,000), and that a resolution of the claim may be required
prior to the Debtor's proceeding with a plan.

The Debtor related to the Court that the extension will not
prejudice any of its creditors since its property is worth
$25 million, which is far in excess of total claims of its
creditors.

Headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, Princeton Office Park, LP
is a real estate development company.  The assets of the company
consist of approximately 220,000 square feet of building on 37
acres located at 4100 Quakerbridge Road, Township of Lawrence,

The company filed for Chapter 11 protection on Sept. 9, 2008
(Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 08-27149).  Melissa A. Pena, at Norris,

PROVIDENCE SERVICE: Moody's Retains 'B2' Corporate Ratings Review
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Providence Service
Corporation's speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-4 from
SGL-2 reflecting Moody's belief that PRSC's covenant compliance is
less certain under its existing credit agreement.  The B2
corporate family and probability of default ratings remain under
review for possible downgrade in light of PRSC's current focus on
strategic options that include reducing debt, growing its core
social services business and the possible sale of its LogistiCare
business.

The SGL-4 rating reflects Moody's view that the company's
liquidity profile is weakened by the step-down of covenants
beginning in December of 2008.  Further, Moody's believes that
margin compression, driven by high utilization rates and budgetary
issues at certain of its payer states, continue to pressure
earnings as well as PRSC's ability to satisfy existing covenants.
Moody's liquidity concerns could be alleviated in the near term
through an amendment to its credit agreement that enhances
covenant headroom and/or through the sale of its LogistiCare
business that results in meaningful cash generation and debt
reduction.

As part of its review for possible downgrade on the long term
ratings of PRSC, Moody's will focus on the company's potential
sale of the LogistiCare business and the de-leveraging effect, if
any, such a transaction would have on PRSC's capital structure.
In addition, Moody's will review the key operational challenges
facing PRSC, the consent solicitation and proposed changes to
PRSC's bylaws initiated by its largest shareholder, which was
unanimously opposed by the Board of PRSC, and assess the company's
ability to stabilize its liquidity profile.  While Moody's expects
increasing Medicaid enrollment trends and positive cash flow
generation to support the rating, stabilization is viewed as
unlikely for PRSC without a meaningful reduction in debt and
improvement in its liquidity profile.

This rating was downgraded:

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to SGL-4 from SGL-2

These ratings remain on review for possible downgrade:

  -- Corporate Family Rating of B2;

  -- Probability of Default Rating of B2;

  -- Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of B1 (LGD3, 37%);
     and

  -- Senior Secured Term Loan of B1 (LGD3, 37%).

Moody's previous rating action on PRSC was the October 24, 2008
action that placed the long term ratings on review for possible
downgrade.

PRSC's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors Moody's believe
are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as i)
scale, diversity and competitive position, ii) revenue
concentration and Medicaid enrollment trends iii) cost structure
and profitability and iv) financial policies, including liquidity
and acquisition risk. These attributes were compared against other
issuers both within and outside of PRSC's core industry and PRSC's
ratings are believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of
similar credit risk.

Providence Service Corporation, through its owned and managed
entities, provides home and community based social services and
non-emergency transportation services management to government
sponsored clients under programs such as welfare, juvenile
justice, Medicaid and corrections.  The Tucson, Arizona based
company generated revenues of $612 million for the twelve months
ending September 30, 2008.

REMOTEMDX INC: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside Down by $3.7 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
RemoteMDx Inc. Chief Executive Officer David G. Derrick disclosed
in a regulatory filing dated February 9, 2009, that the Company is
presently unable to finance its business solely from cash flows
from operating activities.  Mr. Derrick said that during the three
months ended December 31, 2008, the Company financed its business
primarily from the issuance debt and sale of common stock for net
proceeds of $1,254,883.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had unrestricted cash of
$787,686 and working capital deficit of $10,676,839, compared to
unrestricted cash of $2,782,953 and working capital deficit of
$6,822,276 as of September 30, 2008.

During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company's
operating activities used cash of $2,687,201, compared to
$1,220,035 of cash used during the three months ended
December 31, 2007.

The Company used cash of $562,949 for investing activities during
the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $43,313 of
cash used during the three months ended December 31, 2007.  The
increase of $519,636 resulted primarily from monitoring equipment
purchases of $444,733.

The Company's financing activities during the three months ended
December 31, 2008, provided cash of $1,254,883 compared to
$1,909,881 during the three months ended December 31, 2007. During
the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company had net
proceeds of $1,139,375 from the issuance of debt, $200,000 from
the issuance of Series A 15% debentures, and $100,000 of cash from
the sale of common stock.  Cash decreased due to $9,428 in net
payments on the related-party line of credit, and $175,064 in
payments on notes payable.  Cash provided by financing activities
was used to fund operating activities and purchase monitoring
equipment.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $11,128,647 and total liabilities of $14,840,104.

The Company incurred a net loss of $4,934,159 for the three months
ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had
stockholders' deficit of $3,711,457 and an accumulated deficit of
$187,618,155.  According to Mr. Derrick, these factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  The Company's plans with respect to this
uncertainty include:

    -- raising additional capital from the issuance of Series A
       15% debentures,

   -- expanding its market for its tracking products, and

   -- increasing monitoring service revenues.

"There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly
enough to deliver profitable operating results and pay the
Company's debts as they come due.  Likewise, there can be no
assurance that the debt holders will be willing to convert the
debt obligations to equity securities or that the Company will be
successful in raising additional capital from the sale of equity
or debt securities.  If the Company is unable to increase cash
flows from operating activities or obtain additional financing, it
will be unable to continue the development of its business and may
have to cease operations," Mr. Derrick said.

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company entered into these
transactions:

   1) The Company received $3,000,000 in cash from the sale of
      Series A 15% Debentures.  The debentures accrue interest at
      a rate of 15% per annum, with interest paid quarterly in
      cash.  The debentures are due on May 31, 2010.
      Additionally, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common
      stock in connection with the sale of the debentures.  The
      debenture holder may convert into common stock of the
      Company at a price of $0.20 per share as long as it owns
      less than 5% of the outstanding common stock.  Should at
      anytime over the next 12 months, the Company issues any
      equity security at a price less than $0.20 per share, the
      debenture holder can convert at that lesser price.

   2) In connection with a Consent Solicitation Statement, a
      proxy card was sent to the Company's stockholders proposing
      to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing
      the authorized common stock of the Company to 250,000,000.
      By March 4, 2009, the shareholders may vote whether or not
      to increase the authorized shares, but as of the date of
      this Report the number of authorized shares has not
      changed.

   3) The Company entered into a note payable with an entity for
      $2,700,000 to purchase TrackerPAL devices.  The note bears
      interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures on
      January 15, 2010.  The note requires quarterly interest
      payment and principal due at the end of maturity.  At the
      Lender's option, the note may be convertible into shares of
      the Company's common stock at $0.22 per share.  The Company
      anticipates leasing these TrackerPAL devices to domestic
      and international customers.

   4) On January 14, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset
      Purchase Agreement with Bishop Rock Software, Inc., a
      California corporation, Peter C. Sarna, II, Sol Lizarbram,
      Steven Florek, Clydesdale Partners I, LLC and Clydesdale
      Partners II, LLC, to provide additional software
      capabilities regarding crime scene correlation in
      connection with the TrackerPAL devices.  The Company
      purchased BRS for 2,857,286 shares of the Company's common
      stock.

RH DONNELLEY: S&P Junks Corporate Credit Rating From 'B+'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating for R.H. Donnelley Corp. by three notches to 'CCC+' from
'B+'.  The rating outlook is negative.

In addition, S&P revised the recovery ratings on various RHD
subsidiary issues:

  -- Dex Media East LLC's senior secured credit facility to '2',
     indicating S&P's expectation of substantial (70% to 90%)
     recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default, from
     '1'.  The issue-level rating on this debt was lowered to
     'B-' (one notch higher than the 'CCC+' corporate credit
     rating on the company) from 'BB'.

  -- Dex Media West LLC's senior unsecured notes to '4',
     indicating S&P's expectation of average(30% to 50%) recovery
     in the event of a payment default, from '2'.  The issue-
     level rating on this debt was lowered to 'CCC+' (at the same
     level as the corporate credit rating) from 'BB-'.

  -- Dex Media West LLC's subordinated notes to '6', indicating
     S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the
     event of a payment default, from '3'.  S&P lowered the
     issue-level rating on this debt to 'CCC-' (two notches lower
     than the corporate credit rating) from 'B+'.

  -- R.H. Donnelley Inc.'s senior secured credit facility to '2',
     indicating S&P's expectation of substantial (70% to 90%)
     recovery in the event of a payment default, from '1'.  The
     issue-level rating on this debt was lowered to 'B-' (one
     notch higher than the corporate credit rating) from 'BB'.

  -- R.H. Donnelley Inc.'s senior unsecured notes to '6',
     indicating S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to 10%)
     recovery in the event of a payment default, from '4'.  The
     issue-level rating on this debt was lowered to 'CCC-' (two
     notches lower than the corporate credit rating) from 'B+'.

"The ratings downgrade reflects our expectation that the company
may undergo a debt recapitalization of some form over the next two
years," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Emile Courtney.
"This is due to our belief that the company will experience a
worsening pace of EBITDA decline during the period than our
previous expectation; that RHD is likely to violate covenants in
credit facilities in 2010 at its R.H. Donnelley Inc.  and Dex
Media West LLC operating subsidiaries; and that the company will
face challenges in refinancing maturities of more than $1.2
billion in 2010.

In S&P's view, the pace of decline in yellow pages advertising
sales at RHD has meaningfully worsened due to the deepening U.S.
economic recession, which exacerbated the secular shift away from
print ads.  As a result, S&P now believes that deterioration in
operating performance at RHD in 2009 will likely exceed S&P's
previous expectation for revenue to fall 8% and for EBITDA to fall
10% to 15%.  Given the high-single-digit pace of decline in ad
sales at September 2008 and the worsening economy since then, it
is S&P's view that ad sales have likely worsened to a decline in
the low-teens percentage area in the December 2008 quarter, and
have likely remained at this level or worse so far in 2009 (RHD
has not reported this measure since the September 2008 quarter).

These expected EBITDA declines would lead to a significant drop in
free cash flow, meaningfully reducing RHD's ability to repay debt
over the intermediate term.  S&P estimates that total lease-
adjusted debt to EBITDA was near 7x in 2008, and S&P expects this
measure will be in the mid- to high-8x area in 2009, and more than
10x in 2010.  S&P estimate total interest coverage was near 2x in
2008, and S&P expects this measure to be in the 1.5x area in 2009
and near 1x in 2010.  Given the very challenging economy and its
negative impact on RHD's business, S&P is concerned the company
will face difficulty refinancing $385 million in Dex West notes
and more than $800 million in amortization payments for the R.H.
Donnelley Inc. credit facility, both due in 2010.  As a result of
these expectations, S&P believes a debt restructuring of some kind
may occur over the next two years.

RIVERSIDE BANK: Florida Regulators Appoint FDIC as Receiver
-----------------------------------------------------------
Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast, based in Cape Coral, Florida,
was closed on Fri., Feb. 13, 2009, by the Florida Office of
Financial Regulation, which appointed the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.  To protect the
depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with TIB Bank, based in Naples, Florida, to assume all
of the deposits of Riverside Bank.

Due to the observance of Presidents' Day on Mon., Feb. 16, 2009,
Riverside's nine offices will reopen on Tues., Feb. 17, 2009, as
branches of TIB Bank.  Depositors of Riverside Bank will
automatically become depositors of TIB Bank.  Deposits will
continue to be insured by the FDIC.

As of December 31, 2008, Riverside Bank had total assets of
approximately $539 million and total deposits of $424 million. TIB
Bank agreed to pay the FDIC a premium of 1.3 percent.

TIB Bank will not assume $142.6 million in brokered deposits held
by Riverside Bank. The FDIC will pay the brokers directly for the
amount of their funds.  Customers who placed money with brokers
should contact them directly for more information about the status
of their deposits.  Customers who would like more information
about today's transaction can also visit the FDIC's Web site at:

   http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/riverside.html

In addition to assuming all of the deposits of Riverside Bank, TIB
Bank agreed to purchase approximately $125 million in assets,
comprised mainly of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.  The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later
disposition.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $201.5 million.  TIB Bank's acquisition of all of the
deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's Deposit
Insurance Fund compared to alternatives.  Riverside Bank is the
eleventh bank to fail in the nation this year.  The last bank to
fail in Florida was Ocala National Bank on Jan. 30, 2009.

Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast is not affiliated with either
Riverside National Bank of Florida, Fort Pierce, or with Riverside
Bank of Central Florida, Winter Park.

RURAL/METRO CORPORATION: Moody's Changes Outlook to Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Rural/Metro Corporation's rating
outlook to stable from negative.  The change reflects the
sustained improvement in operating margins from recent initiatives
and the increased certainty of compliance with financial
covenants.  Moody's also affirmed the ratings of Rural Metro
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Rural/Metro Operating
Company, LLC.

The affirmation of the B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects the
expectation that the company will continue to operate with high
financial leverage and modest interest coverage.  Uncompensated
care provisions have declined as a percentage of revenue in recent
quarters but are expected to continue to challenge earnings and
credit metric improvement.  However, the rating is supported by
the company's national presence in a highly fragmented industry.
Top-line growth has remained sound, reflecting favorable
demographics, the company's presence in high-growth markets and
its ability to successfully leverage expansion in markets in which
it has 911 contracts.

Following is a summary of Moody's rating actions.

The rating outlook was changed to stable from negative.

Ratings affirmed/LGD assessments revised:

Rural/Metro Operating Company, LLC

  -- Senior secured revolving credit facility due 2010 to Ba2
     (LGD1, 9%) from Ba2 (LGD2, 12%)

  -- Senior secured letter of credit facility due 2011 to Ba2
     (LGD1, 9%) from Ba2 (LGD2, 12%)

  -- Senior secured term loan B due 2011 to Ba2 (LGD1, 9%) from
     Ba2 (LGD2, 12%)

  -- 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2015, to B2 (LGD4, 50%)
     from B2 (LGD4, 56%)

Rural/Metro Corporation

  -- 12.75% senior discount notes due 2016 to Caa1 (LGD5, 88%)
     from

  -- Caa1 (LGD5, 89%)

  -- Corporate Family Rating, B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating, B2

The last rating action was on May 23, 2008 when the ratings on the
senior subordinated notes of Rural/Metro Operating Company, LLC
were upgraded to B2 from B3 and all other ratings were affirmed.
Rural Metro provides emergency and non-emergency medical
transportation, fire protection, airport fire and rescue and home
healthcare services in 22 states and approximately 400 communities
within the United States.  The services are provided under
contract with government entities, hospitals, healthcare
facilities and other healthcare organizations.  Net revenue for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was approximately
$498 million.


RESERVOIR FUNDING: Fitch Junks Ratings on $120-Mil. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings downgrades five classes of notes issued by Reservoir
Funding Ltd.:

  -- $289,005,777 class A-1 to 'BB' from 'AAA'; Outlook Negative;
  -- $75 million class A-2 to 'CC' from 'AAA';
  -- $34.5 million class B to 'CC' from 'AA';
  -- $3,034,997 class C to 'C' from 'A-';
  -- $6,941,038 class D to 'C' from 'BBB'.

Fitch has also removed all classes from Rating Watch Negative.
Fitch has taken these actions primarily due to negative credit
migration in the portfolio.  The rating actions also incorporate
Fitch's recently adjusted default and recovery rate assumptions
for analyzing structured finance collateralized debt obligations.
The Negative Rating Outlook on the class A-1 notes is due to the
high concentration of residential mortgage-backed security and CDO
assets in the portfolio that are expected to continue to face
negative pressure while the housing market stabilizes.
Additionally, approximately 36% of the portfolio is currently on
Rating Watch Negative by at least one rating agency.

Reservoir is comprised of 35.2% SF CDO securities from the 2004
vintage, 18.1% non-SF CDO securities from 2003-2004 vintages, and
46.7% RMBS assets from 2003-2005 vintages.  The underlying SF CDO
securities have experienced significant negative credit migration,
causing the current Fitch-derived weighted average rating of the
portfolio to fall to 'B+' compared to an original level of
approximately 'AA'.  The collateral deterioration has also caused
the transaction's interest coverage and overcollateralization
ratios to fail with levels of 91.6% and 83.3%, respectively,
compared to respective triggers of 102.5% and 100.3%, as of the
Jan. 31, 2009 trustee report.  Approximately 35.5% of the
portfolio is rated below investment grade, including 24.2% rated
'CCC' or lower, which exceeds the credit enhancement available to
all classes of notes other than class A-1, indicating a strong
likelihood of principal losses for these notes.

Interest proceeds collected from defaulted assets in the portfolio
are considered to be principal proceeds in this transaction.  This
re-classification of interest proceeds led to an interest
shortfall to the class B notes at the last payment date in
December 2008.  Although this shortfall was made up with proceeds
from the principal waterfall, the classes C and D notes did not
receive their scheduled interest payments due to the interest
shortfall.  The unpaid interest amounts due on these notes were
paid in kind by writing up the principal balance of each class by
the amount of interest owed.

Fitch expects classes A-1, A-2, and B to continue to receive
interest payments for the near future, though future principal
losses are highly likely on classes A-2 and B.  In Fitch's view,
the classes C and D notes are unlikely to receive significant, if
any, future interest or principal distributions.

The ratings of the classes A-1, A-2, and B notes address the
likelihood that investors will receive full and timely payments of
interest, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date.  The
ratings of the classes C and D notes address the likelihood that
investors will receive ultimate and compensating interest
payments, as per the governing documents, as well as the stated
balance of principal by the legal final maturity date.

The rating actions resolve the 'Under Analysis' status that Fitch
issued on Oct. 14, 2008 following the agency's newly proposed
criteria revision for analyzing SF CDOs.  Fitch published the
revised criteria report, 'Global Rating Criteria for Structured
Finance CDOs', in its final form on Dec. 16, 2008, along with an
updated version of the Fitch Portfolio Credit Model that includes
additional functionality for analyzing SF CDOs.  As part of this
review, Fitch makes standard adjustments for any names on Rating
Watch Negative or with a Negative Outlook, downgrading such
ratings for default analysis purposes by three and one notches,
respectively.

Fitch will continue to monitor and review this transaction for
future rating adjustments.


SANMINA-SCI CORP: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on San Jose, California-based Sanmina-SCI
Corp. to 'B-' from 'B+'.  The rating outlook is stable.

"The action reflects deteriorating profitability levels, which are
likely to persist for at least the next few quarters and resulting
high leverage, offset to a limited degree by the company's top-
tier business position in low-volume, complex EMS end markets and
relatively stable operating performance," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Bruce Hyman.  Sanmina-SCI Corp. is a leading
provider of electronics manufacturing services for the high-end
computing, telecommunications, and data communications industries.
The company had about $1.6 billion in lease-adjusted debt as of
Dec. 31, 2008.

The company's core EMS business serves lower-volume, complex
manufacturing needs of the telecommunications, storage, server,
and industrial markets.  Revenues have been declining since mid-
2008, reflecting sluggish demand.  Sales were $1.7 billion in the
September 2008 quarter, $1.4 billion in the December 2008 quarter,
and are expected to be about $1.3 billion in the March 2009
quarter.  Still, the company appears to be holding market share,
as most EMS companies are reporting declines in line with Sanmina-
SCI's.  Gross margins after depreciation were 6.7% in the December
quarter, and are likely to be around 5% in the March quarter
because of lower sales levels, partly offset by cost reduction
efforts.  Broad-based business declines have offset the gains
originally anticipated from the mid-2008 divestiture of the PC
unit; December quarter EBITDA margins were about 4%.  S&P does not
expect near-term cost reductions to proceed apace with the revenue
decline, notwithstanding pay cuts and staff reductions, and
margins will shrink in the March 2009 quarter.  Still, ongoing
cost reduction efforts should contribute to profitability later in
the year.  EBITDA was about $ 45 million in the December quarter,
and is likely to be in the $38 million area in March.  Visibility
beyond that time is very limited, but S&P believes that
electronics industry conditions will remain weak for the rest of
2009.


SBARRO INC: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Ca'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Probability of Default
rating as well as the Corporate Family rating of Sbarro, Inc. to
Ca from Caa2.  At the same time, Moody's lowered the company's
senior secured rating to Caa2 (LGD2, 21%) from B2 (LGD 2, 21%) and
the senior unsecured rating to C (LGD5, 77%) from Caa3 (LGD 5,
77%).  The outlook is negative.

The downgrade of the PDR to Ca reflects Moody's view that the
probability that Sbarro's will default on its debt obligations
over the next year has materially increased.  "This is due to the
company's persistently weak operating performance, which has
resulted in deterioration in liquidity and debt protection
measures", stated Bill Fahy, Senior Analyst.  "The decline in
consumer spending continues to negatively impact the company's
earnings, margins, and cash flow. As a result, Moody's believe
that Sbarro's current capital structure is unsustainable at its
current level of operating performance."

On Feb 6th, 2009, Sbarro disclosed that it does not anticipate
being in compliance with certain financial covenants under its
bank credit agreement and is currently in discussions with its
bank agent regarding covenant amendments.

Ratings downgraded are:

  -- Corporate family rating to Ca from Caa2

  -- Probability of default rating to Ca from Caa2

  -- $25 million senior secured revolver to Caa2 (LGD2, 21%) from
     B2 (LGD 2, 21%)

  -- $183 million senior secured term loan to Caa2 (LGD2, 21%)
     from B2 (LGD 2, 21%)

  -- $150 million senior unsecured notes to C (LGD5, 77%) from
     Caa3 (LGD 5, 77%)

Ratings affirmed are:

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-4

The rating outlook is negative.

Sbarro's Ca Probability of Default rating reflects the company's
high probability of default in the near to medium term given its
tight liquidity and overall weak debt protection measures.  The
rating also reflects the high seasonality of cash flows driven
largely by shopping mall traffic patterns in the fourth quarter,
weak consumer spending, cost inflation, and significant
competition in the pizza segment of the restaurant industry.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's expectation that liquidity
will continue to be negatively impacted by weak sales, earnings,
and cash flow.  It also incorporates Moody's view that the
company's capital structure is unsustainable at the current level
of operating performance.  As a result, Sbarro could be forced to
pursue a more comprehensive financial restructuring over the
intermediate term, which could result in a default under its debt
securities.

Moody's last rating action for Sbarro occurred on Jan 12, 2009,
when the company's CFR was lowered to Caa2 from Caa1.

Sbarro, Inc. headquartered in Melville, New York, is a leading
quick service restaurant concept that serves Italian specialty
foods.  Total revenues for twelve months ending Sep 28, 2008 were
approximately $366 million.


SEA CONTAINERS: Plan Effective; "SeaCo" Takes Maritime Interests
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sea Containers Ltd. announced the implementation of its
restructuring plan and emergence from Chapter 11.  On February 11,
2009, Sea Containers completed the transfer of its maritime
container interests to SeaCo Ltd., a new Bermuda registered
company and confirmed its emergence from bankruptcy with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

The major shareholders in the new company will be the former Sea
Containers Ltd. bondholders and two of the group's U.K. pension
funds.  SeaCo Ltd. owns a 50% share in the maritime leasing
company GE SeaCo (the other 50% is owned by GE Capital Corp.) and
a container fleet of approximately 105,000 TEU, which is managed
for SeaCo Ltd. by GE SeaCo.

SeaCo Ltd has raised a $127-million five year exit financing
facility via a senior secured term loan from Fortis Bank Nederland
and DVB Bank.  The proceeds, less retained working capital of $5
million and financing costs of $5 million have been used to repay
the debtor in possession (DIP) loan provided to Sea Containers
Ltd. by Mariner and Dune, two of its former bondholders.  The $24
million balance of the DIP loan of $141 million was repaid from
SCL's own cash resources.

SeaCo Ltd. paid total consideration of $462.3M for the container
assets of SCL including cash of $77.7M and equity of $384.6M.  In
addition, SeaCo Ltd. has advanced $40M to SCL as a senior, secured
loan, to be repaid in due course from cash generated from the wind
down and liquidation of the Sea Containers group.

AlixPartners LLP has been appointed as Plan Administrator to SCL
to oversee the wind down of the group.

Mark Wilson, the new CEO of SeaCo Ltd said: "We are pleased to
complete the $127 million refinancing with Fortis and DVB, and the
Sea Containers restructuring.  SeaCo has been formed at a
challenging time for the maritime container industry as it
responds to the downturn in global shipping.  SeaCo will be
working closely with GE Capital to continue GE SeaCo's role as a
leading maritime container leasing company and to protect the
value of its own fleet of marine containers."

                 Sea Containers to Dissolve

As contemplated by the Plan, the Company anticipates the
liquidation or dissolution of the Debtors' -- and various non-
Debtor subsidiaries' -- operations following the Effective Date.
Holders of the Company's common shares will not receive any
distribution on account of interests, although the common shares
will remain outstanding until the Company is dissolved under
Bermuda law.

Judge Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware confirmed the Plan on November 24, 2008.
Since the Confirmation Date, the Debtors have been working in
earnest to consummate the Plan with the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors for Sea Containers Ltd., the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Sea Containers Services
Ltd., and the exit facility lenders, among others.

Sea Containers filed for Chapter 11 protection on October 15,
2006, due to insufficient cash available to meet debt
obligations.

                    Schemes of Arrangement

Laura Barlow, the Debtors' chief financial officer and chief
restructuring officer, disclosed in a regulatory filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that on February 11, 2009,
five schemes of arrangement proposed pursuant to Section 896 of
the Companies Act 2006 of England & Wales became effective
contemporaneously with the Effective Date of the Plan:

  (1) scheme of arrangement between 0438490 Travel Limited and
      its scheme creditor, consisting of a scheme of arrangement
      and a related explanatory statement;

  (2) scheme of arrangement between 1882420 Limited and its
      scheme creditor, consisting of a scheme of arrangement and
      a related explanatory statement;

  (3) scheme of arrangement between SC Maritime Limited and its
      scheme creditors, consisting of a scheme of arrangement
      and a related explanatory statement;

  (4) scheme of arrangement between SCSL and its scheme
      creditors, consisting of a scheme of arrangement and a
      related explanatory statement; and

  (5) scheme of arrangement between Yorkshire Marine Containers
      Limited and its scheme creditor, consisting of a scheme of
      arrangement and a related explanatory statement .

SCL has notified parties-in-interest that in line with its
Plan, and its winding up proceedings in Bermuda, its scheme of
arrangement with certain of its creditors, pursuant to
Section 99 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda became effective
when the order sanctioning the Bermuda Scheme of Arrangement was
delivered to the Registrar of Companies of Bermuda.

                         Bar Dates

The Reorganized Debtors also notified parties-in-interest that
unless otherwise agreed to by the Plan Administrator and the
entity submitting the request, and except with respect to (a)
Professional Claims, (b) Allowed Pension Schemes Administrative
Claims, (c) Equalization Determination Costs, and (d) any and all
fees and charges assessed against the Estates pursuant to Chapter
123 of Title 28 United States Code, 28 U.S.C. Sections 1911
through 1930, parties have until March 13, 2009, to file:

  -- requests for payment of administrative claims;

  -- requests for payment of cure claims with respect to assumed
     executory contracts or unexpired leases; and

  -- proofs of claim arising from rejection of executory
     contracts or unexpired leases.

The Reorganized Debtors ask parties-in-interest to direct
requests for payment of Administrative Claims and Cure Claims,
and submission of Proofs of Claims to:

     AlixPartners, LLP
     Attn: Laura Barlow
     20 North Audley Street
     London WIK 6WE
     United Kingdom

With a copy to:

     BMC Group, Inc.
     Attn: SCL Claims and Solicitation Agent
     31 Southampton Row
     4th Floor
     Holborn, London WC1 B5HJ
     United Kingdom

The Plan contemplates the transfer of the Debtors' direct and
indirect interests in their marine and land container leasing
business to Newco, the entity to which SCL will transfer its
remaining container interests, and certain additional
consideration, in exchange for Newco (i) equity, and (ii) cash,
which will be funded from an exit facility, that will be used for,
among other things, repayment of the Debtors' DIP Facility.

SCL's Container Interests include equity interests in SPC
Holdings, Ltd., and SCL's indirect ownership of Classes A and B
Quotas in GE SeaCo SRL, the joint-venture entity between SCL and
General Electric Capital Corporation.

The obligations owed to unsecured creditors of SCL will be
satisfied by the distribution by SCL of Newco Equity and the
residual value in Reorganized SCL, the Equalization-Related
Employee Claim Trust, and the Non-Debtor Subsidiary Trust.
Existing interests in SCL will not receive any distribution on
account of those interests, although they will remain outstanding
until the dissolution of Reorganized SCL under Bermuda law.

The Plan and the Bermuda Scheme of Arrangement contemplate:

  (a) the issuance of Newco Equity on the Effective Date to the
      Plan Administrator for distribution to the Debtors'
      creditors;

  (b) the transfer of Container Interests to Newco;

  (c) the issuance of Newco repatriation note to Newco,
      reflecting a loan from Newco to enable Reorganized SCL to
      satisfy the balance of the DIP Facility and fund its
      wind-down costs;

  (d) the distribution of SCL unsecured distribution to holders
      of allowed SCL other unsecured claims and holders of
      allowed Pension Schemes' unsecured claims;

  (e) the distribution of SCSL unsecured distribution to holders
      of SCSL other unsecured claims, and

  (f) the establishment of the Equalization Escrow Account, the
      Equalization-Related Employee Claim Trust and the
      Non-Debtor Subsidiary Trust.

Judge Carey recently approved a stipulation among the Debtors,
the Trustees of the Sea Containers 1983 Pension Scheme, the SCL
Committee and the SCSL Committee with respect to certain Plan
distribution mechanics, which will assist the 1983 Scheme in
entering the UK Pension Protection Fund -- a condition precedent
to consummation of the Plan.

SHERMAN COUNTY: Nebraska Regulators Appoint FDIC as Receiver
------------------------------------------------------------
Sherman County Bank, based in Loup City, Nebraska, was closed on
Fri., Feb. 13, 2009, by the Nebraska Department of Banking and
Finance, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) as receiver.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered
into a purchase and assumption agreement with Heritage Bank, based
in Wood River, Nebraska, to assume all of the deposits of Sherman
County Bank.

Due to the observance of Presidents' Day on Mon., Feb. 16, 2009,
Sherman County Bank's four offices, including those that operated
under the name Howard County Bank, will reopen on Tues., Feb. 17,
2009, as branches of Heritage Bank.  Depositors of Sherman County
Bank will automatically become depositors of Heritage Bank.
Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC.

As of Feb. 12, 2009, Sherman County Bank had total assets of
approximately $129.8 million and total deposits of $85.1 million.
Heritage Bank will pay the FDIC a premium of six percent.  In
addition to assuming all of the deposits of Sherman County Bank,
Heritage Bank agreed to purchase approximately $21.8 million in
assets, comprised mainly of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.  The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later
disposition.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $28.0 million.  Heritage Bank's acquisition of all the
deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's Deposit
Insurance Fund compared to alternatives.  Sherman County Bank is
the tenth bank to fail in the nation this year.  The last
institution to fail in Nebraska was Equitable Savings and Loan,
Columbus, on Feb. 16, 1990.


SIRIUS XM: Swaps $172.5MM of 10% 2009 Notes for Notes Due 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------
SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. said Friday that XM Satellite Radio Holdings
Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, had exchanged approximately
$172.5 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 10%
Convertible Senior Notes due December 2009 for a like principal
amount of its newly issued Senior Secured Notes due 2011.  An
aggregate of $400 million in principal amount of the 10%
Convertible Senior Notes due December 2009 was outstanding prior
to this transaction.

The new Senior Secured Notes will mature on June 1, 2011.  The
notes will bear interest at these rates:

   -- initially at 10% per annum paid in cash;

   -- from December 1, 2009 to December 1, 2010, at 10% per annum
      paid in cash and 2% per annum paid in kind; and

   -- from December 1, 2010 to maturity, at 10% per annum paid in
      cash and 4% per annum paid in kind.

After the exchange, approximately $227.5 million aggregate
principal of XM Holdings' 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009
will remain outstanding.  The Company received no proceeds from
the exchange.

The purchasers of the new Senior Secured Notes will be paid an
aggregate structuring fee of $9.45 million, $5.07 million of which
was paid in cash and $4.38 million of which was paid in the form
of shares of the Company's common stock based on the closing sales
price of the Company's common stock on February 12, 2009, which
was $0.074 per share.

The exchange of 10% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 for new
Senior Secured Notes is part of a larger restructuring effort.

The Company is in discussions with others with respect to
transactions that could refinance some of its and its
subsidiaries' indebtedness. These transactions may not be
successfully consummated.  If these transactions are not
consummated, it may be forced to file for bankruptcy protection as
early as February 17, 2009.

On January 14, the Company said in a regulatory filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that it had agreed to issue an
aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001
per share, in exchange for $13,000,000 principal amount of its 2-
1/2% Convertible Notes due 2009 beneficially owned by
institutional holders.  After giving effect to these exchanges,
$174,588,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2-1/2% Notes remain
outstanding.  The Company said it would not receive any cash
proceeds as a result of the exchange of common stock for the 2-1/2
Notes, which notes will be retired and cancelled.  The Company
executed the transactions to reduce debt and interest cost,
increase equity, and improve the balance sheet.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on February 3, 2009,
Sirius XM Satellite Radio Inc.'s $174.6 million in debt is due
on Feb. 17, 2009.  Sirius XM also faces a May deadline for a
$350 million a term loan and revolving credit facility and a
December deadline for $400 million in convertible notes.

The TCR said February 10, that Charles Ergen has reiterated his
interest in taking control of Sirius XM Radio Inc.  Citing people
familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported that
Sirius XM declined Mr. Ergen's unsolicited offer last year --
which involves a capital injection from one of his satellite
companies, EchoStar Corp. or Dish Network Corp.  According to WSJ,
the sources said that the offer could help Sirius XM meet its debt
obligations and avoid a bankruptcy filing.

According to WSJ, Sirius XM CEO Mel Karmazin has told investors
that the company would have to file for bankruptcy, or cut a deal
with Mr. Ergen, unless he could raise $175 million.

A person familiar with the situation has told WSJ that Mr. Ergen
isn't seeking to force Sirius XM into bankruptcy proceedings to
acquire its assets more cheaply.  According to WSJ, Mr. Ergen
believes that satellite radio would complement his television
operation, as both are subscriber-based programming businesses
that depend on similar technology.  According to WSJ, a satellite
television and radio merger would likely face close scrutiny and
lengthy review from federal regulators, whose approval is required
in the deal.

                       About Sirius XM Radio

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 20, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Sirius XM Radio Inc. to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'.  S&P
also lowered the issue-level ratings on the debt of Sirius XM
Radio Inc. and of Sirius' unrestricted subsidiaries, XM Satellite
Radio Holdings Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Inc., which remain on
CreditWatch, though the implications are revised to negative from
developing.  S&P could affirm or lower the issue-level ratings
pending S&P's review of additional information and follow-up
discussions with management.  The outlook is negative.  New York
City-based Sirius XM had total debt outstanding of $3.37 billion
as of Sept. 30, 2008.

SYNTAX-BRILLIAN: Goldman Sachs Discloses 5.8% Equity Stake
----------------------------------------------------------
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and Global Securities Services, a
separate business unit within and across Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
Goldman Sachs International, each of which is a direct or indirect
subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., disclosed that each
may be deemed to beneficially own 5,417,072 shares of
Syntax-Brillian Corporation's common stock or 5.8% of the total
shares outstanding.

Based in Tempe, Arizona, Syntax-Brillian Corporation (Nasdaq:
BRLC) -- http://www.syntaxbrillian.com/-- and its affiliated
debtors, Syntax-Brillian SPE, Inc. and Syntax Groups Corp. design,
develop, and distribute high-definition televisions (HDTVs)
utilizing liquid crystal display (LCD) and, formerly, liquid
crystal (LCoS) technologies.  The Debtors sell their HDTVs under
the Olevia brand name.  SBC is also the sole shareholder of
Vivitar Corp., a suplier of film cameras and a line of digital
imaging products, including digital cameras.

The Debtors filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief on
July 8, 2008 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 08-11407).  Nancy A.
Mitchell, Esq., Allen G. Kadish, Esq., and John W. Weiss, Esq., at
Greenberg Traurig LLP in New York, represent the Debtors as
counsel.  Victoria Counihan, Esq., at Greenburg Traurig LLP in
Wilmington, Delaware, represents the Debtors as Delaware counsel.
Five members compose the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  Pepper Hamilton, LLP represents the Committee as
counsel.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC is the Debtors'
balloting, notice, and claims agent.

Syntax-Brillian cut a deal to sell its business assets to Olevia
International Group LLC.  On Sept. 10, 2008, OIG told the
Bankruptcy Court that it won't pursue the deal, contending that
the Debtors irreparably breached various covenants and
representations contained in the Purchase Agreement, causing
various Closing Conditions to fail, and rendering it unable to
comply with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.  OIG
also accused the Debtors of violating their sale contract by
losing business from Target Corp., the Debtors' main customer.
The following day, the Debtors filed a lawsuit asking the Court to
compel Olevia International to complete the purchase.  On
Oct. 10, the Bankruptcy Court denied OIG's emergency request to
excuse it from its obligations.  OIG has taken an appeal of that
order.

When the Debtors filed for protection from their creditors, they
listed total assets of $175,714,000 and total debts of
$259,389,000.


TENET HEALTHCARE: Sells Two Hospitals to USC
--------------------------------------------
On February 10, 2009, Tenet Healthcare Corporation said that it
had signed a definitive agreement to sell its USC University
Hospital and USC Kenneth Norris Jr. Cancer Hospital to the
University of Southern California.

USC University Hospital is a 411-bed general acute care hospital
located in Los Angeles, California, and USC Kenneth Norris Jr.
Cancer Hospital is a 60-bed facility specializing in cancer
treatment on the campus of USC University Hospital.  In the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company reclassified both
hospitals into discontinued operations based on the guidance in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

On the day the terms of the transaction were finalized and the
definitive agreement was signed, management determined that it
will be necessary to record material impairment charges related to
the long-lived assets associated with those hospitals under
generally accepted accounting principles in the Registrant's
financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  At
this time, the Company expects to record a non-cash charge of
approximately $40 million, pre- and after-tax, in discontinued
operations in the fourth quarter for the impairment.  The
impairment-related charge is not currently expected to result in
material future cash expenditures.

TEREX CORP: S&P Puts BB Corporate Rating on Negative CreditWatch
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on Terex
Corp., including the 'BB' long-term corporate credit rating, on
CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The CreditWatch placement follows the company's announcement that
it has initiated discussions with its lead banks to obtain relief
from lenders relating to covenants under its credit agreement,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Dan Picciotto.  The
amendment is required due to a likely violation of its fixed-
charge coverage ratio in an upcoming quarter.  Terex will need to
negotiate with its banks in a difficult credit environment, which
could affect pricing under its credit agreement.

The CreditWatch listing recognizes these difficult capital market
conditions.  Still, S&P believes Terex will likely achieve this
amendment given its good cash balances ($484 million at year-end)
and manageable debt levels.  Credit measures were good at year-end
2008 with estimated total debt to EBITDA less than 2x and funds
from operations to debt around 40%, exceeding S&P's expectations
of 3.5x and 20%, respectively.  These measures will worsen
however, as conditions have deteriorated rapidly for many of the
company's end markets.

The ratings on Westport, Connecticut-based Terex reflect the
company's participation in the highly cyclical and competitive
construction equipment industry and its aggressive financial
profile.  These factors are mitigated by the company's
satisfactory business position as a major provider of construction
equipment and by its good geographic and product diversity.

To resolve the CreditWatch, S&P will monitor the company's
progress in obtaining adequate relief under covenants from its
lenders.  If Terex is successful in amending covenants in a timely
fashion and a future violation appears unlikely, S&P would likely
affirm the ratings.  If Terex does not amend its covenants in a
timely fashion, S&P could take a negative ratings action, as
liquidity would deteriorate.


THE PARENT CO: Sells Three Web Sites to Toys "R" Us
---------------------------------------------------

protection and began to explore strategic alternatives, including
a sale of some or all the company's businesses.  Terms of the
transaction were not disclosed.

leadership in the toy and baby products sectors and position the
company for strong market share growth.  We are committed to

TRIBUNE CO: May Pay $8.8 Million in Incentives to Non-Insiders
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware authorized Tribune Company and its affiliates to pay up
to $8,800,000 under their non-insider incentive programs.  Judge
Carey directs the Debtors to verify that the Incentive Program
payees have satisfied the objective and discretionary payment
conditions set at or prior to the inception of the relevant
measuring periods before making a payment.

Prior to entry of the Order, Roberta A. DeAngelis, acting United
States Trustee for Region 3, asserted that the Debtors must
demonstrate that the incentive targets under each of the plans
have been satisfied and that the payments are crucial to the
viability of their reorganization in order to justify the
proposed payments under the doctrine of necessity.

Ms. DeAngelis leaves the Debtors to their burden to establish
that the proposed payments satisfy applicable standards.

In their request, the Debtors noted that they currently employ
13,940 full-time and 2,450 part-time employees.  In addition to
wage and commission-based compensation, consistent with their
historical practices, the Debtors offer a substantial percentage
of their employees the opportunity to earn additional compensation
through various incentive bonus programs that are designed and
administered through the local business units and individual
administrative departments.

According to the Debtors, the incentive bonus programs are
designed to reward employees for outstanding achievements based
upon specific metrics that are relevant to their employees' local
or department line of work.

The Debtors proposed to pay $2,551 per participating employee.
The Incentive Programs provide incentive bonuses to about 3,000
participating employees.

The Debtors noted that the Incentive Programs are generally
divisible into three categories based on operating segment --
publishing, broadcast and entertainment, and administration.  In
the aggregate, there are 63 business units participating in the
Incentive Programs, which generally correspond to the Debtors'
eight newspapers, 24 television and radio broadcast stations, and
various administrative departments.

To continue to incentivize the participating employees, the
Debtors believe it is essential that they be permitted to honor
prepetition amounts due to the Participating Employees under the
Incentive Programs.  The Debtors estimate that about $7,600,000 in
unpaid incentive bonuses was accrued and owing under the Incentive
Programs.  However, the Debtors seek to pay up to $8,800,000 due
to the fact that the payouts under most of the Incentive Programs
are based on year-end, quarter-end or month-end performance.

The Debtors' Incentive Programs are:

A. Publishing Segment Incentive Programs

     * Advertising Sales Incentive Programs
     * Circulation Sales Incentive Programs
     * Operation Department Incentive Programs
     * Other Miscellaneous Incentive Programs

B. Broadcasting and Entertainment Segment Incentive Programs

     * Advertising Sales Incentive Programs
     * Ratings-Related Incentive Programs
     * Operational and Other Incentive Programs

C. Administration Incentive Programs

     * Corporate Relations
     * Finance Service Center
     * Human Resources
     * Technology
     * Tax and Audit
     * Other Departments

TRIBUNE CO: Seeks to Amend JPMorgan Securities Engagement Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tribune Company and its affiliates entered into a letter
agreement, on January 9, 2007, for J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc.,
to serve as their financial advisor in connection with the
disposition of an interest in Tribune Company's interests in these
non-Debtor subsidiaries:

  (i) CNLBC, Wrigley Field Premium Ticket Services, LLC, Chicago
      Cubs Dominican Baseball Operations, LLC, and
      Diana-Quentin, LLC; and

(ii) approximately 25.34% equity interest in Comcast SportsNet
      Chicago, LLC.

These assets collectively comprise the business of the Chicago
Cubs baseball team.

Kate J. Stickles, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman &
Leonard, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware, tells the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware that it has been the Debtors'
intention to dispose all or a majority of their interests in the
Cubs, which represent one of the most valuable assets of their
Chapter 11 estates.

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, JPMorgan was obligated to
provide its services in connection with the disposition of the
assets through January 7, 2009.  However, because of the vital
role of JPMorgan, the Debtors asked it to continue to act as
financial advisor with respect to the disposition of the Chicago
Cubs assets subsequent to the Petition Date and extend the term
of its engagement.

Due to JPMorgan's engagement with the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, the firm was only willing to continue to act
as financial advisor in connection with the disposition of the
Chicago Cubs assets if the Committee was apprised of the
situation and does not object to the ongoing engagement in
connection with the disposition of assets, Ms. Stickles says.

The Committee has advised the Debtors that it does not object to
JPMorgan's continuing act in its capacity as advisor.  However,
to more accurately reflect the substance of the transaction, the
Debtors seek the Court's authority to assume the Engagement
Letter and assign it to CNLBC.

The Debtors further ask the Court to extend the terms of the
Engagement Letter until April 15, 2009.  The Debtors will, Ms.
Stickles says, will perform all obligations associated with the
Assignment Agreement.

The assignment of the Engagement Letter to CNLBC will ensure that
the Debtors' non-Debtor affiliates bear their own costs during
the pendency of their Chapter 11 cases, Ms. Stickles assert.

             Tom Rickets Final Bidder for Chicago Cubs

Tribune Co., has selected Thomas Ricketts as the favored bidder
for the Chicago Cubs but the deal isn't sealed yet, The Chicago
Tribune reported on January 22, 2009.

According to the report, Tribune Co. and Mr. Ricketts have begun
the exclusive negotiations to buy the baseball team, Wrigley
Field and a 25% stake in Comcast SportsNet, a regional network.
The newspaper said Mr. Ricketts' bid for the Chicago Cubs assets
is valued at $900,000,000.

Though the Chicago Cubs assets are not part of Tribune Co.'s
bankruptcy filing, any sale of the assets may still be subject to
the approval of Judge Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware, who is overseeing Tribune's
bankruptcy case.

"We look forward to working with the Tribune and Major League
Baseball to close the transaction promptly," the family said.
"If we succeed in buying the team, our work will just be
beginning," the Chicago Tribune quoted Mr. Ricketts as saying.

Mr. Ricketts said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times that
his family's selection as the final bidder only gives exclusive
negotiating rights and the process is far from over.  The Chicago
Tribune stated that once a contract is inked, the deal must be
approved by 23 of Major League Baseball's 30 owners.

Mr. Ricketts said a complete ownership transition might be
sometime around the Cubs' April 6, 2009, season opener in
Houston, Texas.

TRIBUNE CO: Intelsat Seeks $560,000 as Adequate Protection
----------------------------------------------------------
Intelsat Corporation, owner of communication satellites and
seller of transponder capacity for voice, data, video and
Internet connectivity, entered into two prepetition full-time
transponder capacity agreements each of Debtor Tower Distribution
Company and Debtor Tribune Broadcasting Company.

Frederick B. Rosner, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, tells the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware that the Debtors have continued to use Intelsat's
communication satellites but are not paying for the services they
are using.  From the Petition Date through February 1, 2009, the
Debtors owe Intelsat $457,419 for satellite transponder usage, Mr.
Rosner says.

Mr. Rosner asserts that given the Debtors' postpetition defaults,
they should only be allowed to continue to use Intelsat's
satellites if they can provide with assurance of adequate
protection that they will make payment when due in accordance
with the terms of their agreement.

Accordingly, Intelsat seeks adequate protection in the form of a
deposit amounting to $560,000 for the use of its satellites
pending a decision to assume or reject the Transponder Agreements
and an allowance and payment of its administrative expense
priority claim for $457,419.

As of the Petition Date, Intelsat held a security deposit for
$237,200, which was posted by the Debtors pursuant to the
Transponder Agreements.  Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors
defaulted on payments for services provided by Intelsat
Corporation amounting to $163,225.  The defaults relate to
payments for satellite transponder capacity that the Debtors
leased from Intelsat and used in the distribution of their
services.

In a separate motion, Intelsat asks the Court to lift the
automatic stay to allow it to set off a portion of the Debtors'
deposit against the full amount of default amounting to $163,225.

TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT: Forbearance Expires Feb. 17; Bankr. Looms
--------------------------------------------------------------
Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, L.P. and Trump Entertainment
Resorts Funding, Inc., obtained an extension on February 10, 2009,
of the forbearance agreements from their lenders and noteholders.

The parties to the Noteholder Forbearance amended the Noteholder
Forbearance to extend its term until 9:00 a.m. on February 17,
2009, unless certain events occur. No other material amendments
were made.

The parties to the Lenders Forbearance further amended the Lenders
Forbearance to extend its term until 9:00 a.m. on February 17,
2009, unless certain events occur. No other material amendments
were made.

Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings and Trump Entertainment
Resorts Funding did not make the interest payment due December 1,
2008 on their 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2015.  On
December 31, 2008, the company obtained a forbearance agreement
from the holders of an aggregate of approximately 70% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes, pursuant to which such
holders agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and
remedies under the indenture governing the Notes relating to the
missed interest payment, and from directing the trustee under the
indenture from exercising any such rights and remedies on the
holders' behalf, until January 21, 2009, unless certain events
occurred.  Such date has previously been extended to February 11,
2009.

In addition, on December 31, 2008, the company obtained a
forbearance agreement from the lenders under the company's
$490 million senior secured term loan agreement, pursuant to which
the lenders agreed to forbear from exercising certain of their
other rights and remedies that may exist as a result of the missed
interest payment on the Notes, until January 21, 2009, unless
certain events occurred.  Such date has previously been extended
to February 11, 2009.

The company remains in discussions with its lenders and certain
Note holders regarding a possible restructuring of the company's
capital structure.  There can be no assurance that any agreement
with respect to any restructuring will be reached or, if any
agreement is reached, as to the terms thereof.

People familiar with the matter have told The Wall Street Journal
reports Trump Entertainment may be forced into bankruptcy --
through an involuntary bankruptcy filing -- by its bondholders.
The Journal says bondholders are expected to file an involuntary
Chapter 11 petition after the forbearance period expires Tuesday.

The Journal reports that Donald Trump said Friday he would resign
as chairman because he disagreed with bondholders' decisions.  His
daughter, Ivanka Trump, also resigned from the board, the Journal
says.  The Journal notes that Mr. Trump holds no management
position at Trump Entertainment but as of mid-March held 28% of
the stock.

According to the Journal, the bondholder group includes hedge
funds Avenue Capital Group of New York and Contrarian Capital
Management of Greenwich, Conn., and other holders.  The Journal
says the bondholder goup has asked the company to file for
bankruptcy but the company has refused.

U-SAFE INVESTMENTS: Asks Court to Dismiss its Chapter 11 Case
-------------------------------------------------------------
U-Safe Investments, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California to dismiss its Chapter 11 case for
cause.

The Debtor tells the Court that since it filed for bankruptcy on
Oct. 14, 2008, it has attempted to modify the terms of its
lender's loan to deal with the arrears on the property.  The
Debtor relates that the property taxes are paid up to date, and
the postpetition mortgage is current.  There is, however, a
balloon payment that is due that the Debtor cannot pay.  In
addition, the hotel is not operating and there is no income being
generated from the property.  The Debtor relates that is has
approximately $365,000 in unsecured debt.

In view of the foregoing, the Debtor says it cannot propose a
confirmable plan, and is not eligible for a Chapter 7 discharge.

Oakland, Calif.-based U-Safe Investments, LLC filed for Chapter 11
relief on Oct. 14, 2008 (Bankr. N.D. Calif. Case No. 08-45880).
Fayedine Coulter, Esq, at the Law Offices of Fayedine Coulter, and
Marc Voisenat, Esq., at the Law Offices of Marc Voisenat,

interest in accelerating roll-out of various types of
applications, including demonstration vehicle fleets," said Robert
L. Kanode, president and chief executive officer of Valence
Technology.  "Development of electric and hybrid vehicles in
Europe appears to be moving at a faster pace than in the U.S.
However, selection of platforms and the associated energy storage
systems is a gradual process as OEMs conduct their extensive due
diligence.  We believe that our products, engineering capability,
vast intellectual property and experience will fulfill their
immediate needs.  Both commercial and passenger vehicles are well-
suited to be powered by our energy storage solutions and while
opportunities are ample in Europe, we are now seeing increased
interest from potential U.S. customers as well."

                  Third Quarter Financial Results

For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reported total
revenue of $4.7 million compared to $3.4 million for the same
period last year mainly due to increased sales of large format
battery systems to existing and new customers.  Gross margin
improved to a positive $250,000 compared to a negative $35,000
last year mainly due to higher sales.

Total operating expenses declined to $4.1 million from
$4.3 million in last year's quarter due to lower depreciation and
amortization, marketing, and general and administrative costs
slightly offset by higher research and product development costs.
The Company's operating loss improved to $3.8 million compared to
$4.3 million for the same period last year due to higher revenue
and gross margin and lower operating costs.  The net loss
available to common stockholders was $5.2 million or $0.04 per
share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million or $0.05 per share,
for the same period last year.

                     Nine Month Financial Results

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company
reported total revenue of $21.5 million compared to $13.0 million
for the same period last year, or a 65% increase.  This was mainly
due to new customer shipments of energy storage systems and
qualification packs. Gross margin declined to $52,000 compared to
$1.2 million for the same period last year.  The nine-month period
ended December 31, 2008 included inventory adjustments which
increased cost of sales and reduced gross margin. This included a
$2.2 million adjustment related to the previously announced plans
to discontinue the N-Charger product line and focus on higher
margin large-format energy solutions.

Overall operating expenses rose to $13.5 million from
$11.9 million compared to the same period last year in order to
facilitate the anticipated ramp in the current fiscal year
revenues.  The net loss available to common stockholders was $17.0
million or $0.14 per share, compared to a net loss of
$15.0 million or $0.14 per share, for the same period last year.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $31,097,000, total liabilities of $85,568,000 and
redeemable convertible preferred stock of $8,610,000, resulting in
total stockholders' deficit of $63,081,000.

to the company's recurring losses from operations, negative cash

WARNER CHILCOTT: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its
corporate credit rating on Rockaway, New Jersey-based Warner
Chilcott Corp. to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  At the same time, S&P raised
the company's senior secured debt to 'BB' from 'BB-' and its
subordinated notes to 'B' from 'B-'.  The company's outlook is now
stable.

For the complete recovery analysis, see the recovery report on
Warner Chilcott, to be published following this press release on
RatingsDirect, the real-time Web-based source for Standard &
Poor's credit ratings, research, and risk analysis.

"The ratings upgrade predominantly reflects Warner's improved
financial profile, including its ability to generate modest free
cash flow and management's discipline in reducing debt," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Brian Jones.  This has provided
the company with adequate financial cushion at the 'BB' rating
category to effectively manage its drug portfolio.

The ratings on Warner Chilcott reflect the threat of generic and
other competition to the company's modest product portfolio and
its limited R&D capabilities.  These weaknesses are only partly
offset by management's strong track record of operating success
and the company's improving credit protection measures.

Warner has built (largely through acquisitions) solid franchises
in both the women's health (roughly 51% of sales) and dermatology
(49%) markets, and its portfolio is relatively diversified and
very profitable, especially compared with other like-rated
specialty pharmaceutical companies.  This diversity is a key
support for the ratings, given generic competition's continued
pressure on several of Warner's main franchises and its threat to
the company's historically solid sales growth.  To hedge these
concerns, the company continually looks to launch additional
dosage strengths and reformulations of existing products, a
strategy common in the specialty pharmaceutical industry.

YELLOWSTONE CLUB: Creditors Sue Credit Suisse for Fraud
-------------------------------------------------------
Forbes reports that Yellowstone Club's creditors have filed a
lawsuit against Credit Suisse for allegedly arranging a
"fraudulent" $375 million that ended up in the pockets of club
owners Tim and Edra Blixseth, prior to their divorce.

Citing the hundreds of club members, unpaid staff, and trade
vendors, Wealth-Bulletin.com relates that Credit Suisse allegedly
knew when it arranged the 2005 loan that most of the money would
never reach the ski resort.

According to court documents, the committee of unsecured creditors
-- represented by James H. Cossitt at James H. Cossitt, PC --
charged Credit Suisse of, among other things, aiding and abetting
breach of fiduciary duty, avoidance of fraudulent transfer,
disallowance of claims, and subordination of claims.

The creditors claimed that Credit Suisse was offering the
Blixseths opportunity to take their profits out early by
mortgaging their development projects to the hilt.  Credit Suisse
would loan the money on a non-recourse basis, earn a substantial
fee, and sell off most of the credit to loan participants.  The
Blixseths would take most of the money out as a profit dividend,
leaving their developments saddled with enormous debt.  Credit
Suisse made the loan to Yellowstone Mountain Club, LLC, and its
debtor affiliates Yellowstone Development, LLC, and Big Sky Ridge,
LLC.  The inevitable failure of this loan drove the Yellowstone
Club into bankruptcy, the creditors said.

The Blixseths, according to the creditors, wanted to withdraw a
profit dividend, but they had fiduciary duties to the Yellowstone
Club and its members, minority owners and unsecured creditors.
Enticed by the riches available from Credit Suisse, the Blixseths
chose to breach their fiduciary duties, abandon the Yellowstone
Club, and participate in a loan transaction that gave windfalls to
them and Credit Suisse, at the expense of the Yellowstone Club.

According to the creditors, Credit Suisse knew the Blixseths were
breaching their fiduciary duties, and it approved of and supported
their decision.  It assisted the Blixseths in concealing their
breaches from the beneficiaries of their duties.

Details on the lawsuit are available at:

              http://bankrupt.com/misc/CSlawsuit.pdf

Mr. Blixseth has denied the creditors' allegations in a statement.
Mr. Blixseth said:

"My ex-wife's entire goal was to wrest control of the Club from me
in the divorce action with the advice and plotting of an
unscrupulous law firm.  They destroyed a $470 million dollar sale
of the Club that would have protected everyone, negotiated by me
over ten months and costing millions of dollars in due diligence;
and there was a back-up offer for the same price lost as a result
of the lawyers' actions.  The California divorce court judge
denied their legal efforts to interfere with the sale, and
prohibited them from contacting the buyer.  They ignored the
orders and did so anyway.  The buyer backed out of the sale.  They
then used the media to destroy the Club's reputation -- all with
one goal in mind -- steal the Club at a fraction of its value.
That is exactly what is happening now.

"When the law firm threatened further litigation after the
collapse of the sale, I had no choice but to allow her to buy me
out of the Club in order to stop any further damage.  She assured
me, the members, and represented in court that she had secured
over $500 million dollars available to pay off Credit Suisse in
full, pay all accounts payable, (then current), and have
sufficient operating capital going forward.  I reiterate: The same
unscrupulous lawyers represented to the court that they had this
money available when they interfered with the sale. See Court
pleadings and transcripts publicly available.

"Last week, I announced my desire to prepare a bid in the pending
bankruptcy proceedings to insure that the hard working men and
woman -- my friends -- who have not been paid as unsecured
creditors, would be paid; that Credit Suisse would be fairly dealt
with; and that the members' interests would be safeguarded. That
was why I made my announcement.  I cannot go forward until the
exclusivity period is lifted by the bankruptcy judge.  When that
happens, I intend on moving forward with this plan.

"Not coincidentally, most of the media attention with false
accusations has paralleled court proceedings designed to extract
money from me.  The original media campaign several years ago
involved the so-called LeMond case accusing me of ridiculous
accusations that I diverted Club monies outside the ordinary
course of business and engaged in fraudulent financial
transactions.  These accusations will now be conclusively proven
to be false.  It is my turn to have my day in court.

"ALL financial transactions involving the Yellowstone Club have
always been audited by KPMG, have ALL been done in the ordinary
course of business, and in compliance with ALL laws, state and
federal.

"The Credit Suisse loan was approved by armies of accountants,
lawyers, securities experts, the bond rating agencies, lawyers and
accountants for Credit Suisse, and for the bondholders buying the
bonds, etc with full disclosure.  Credit Suisse did a total of 15
identical credit facilities totaling more than $4 billion dollars.
Trying to re-write history on these commonly utilized transactions
(in the thousands over the prior 20 years) would constitute a
dismemberment of our financial system.

"On August 13, 2008, the day I sold to my ex-wife, the Credit
Suisse loan was not in default, was fully current, and had never
been a day late.  The Credit Suisse loan covenants allowed the
borrower to declare dividends or permit the borrowing of
$209 million dollars of the loan proceeds.  That was the agreement
approved by armies of lawyers, accountants and the bond rating
agencies.  The current motion to file a law suit against Credit
Suisse is baseless.  I am confident that they will prevail."

YOUNG BROADCASTING: Files for Bankruptcy to Fix Balance Sheet
-------------------------------------------------------------
Young Broadcasting Inc. (Pink Sheets:YBTVA) and certain of its
subsidiaries announced on Friday that to restructure its balance
sheet and to ensure the Company's long-term financial health, it
has filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York.  As is normal in such cases, Young
Broadcasting plans to continue operating its television stations
without interruption.

"Our decision to restructure through a Chapter 11 filing will
allow the Company to bring its debt in line with current economic
realities so that we can emerge a stronger and more financially
secure company.  It is important to note that we are restructuring
our debt, not our operations.  We believe that the Company will
emerge from Chapter 11 better equipped to thrive in this changing
economic environment with less leverage.  I strongly believe that
our Chapter 11 filing is in the best interests of Young
Broadcasting, its viewers, advertisers, employees, and other key
constituents," said Vincent Young, Chairman of Young Broadcasting.

Young Broadcasting has set-up a toll-free reorganization hotline
(866-212-0222), for viewers, advertisers, employees, or other
interested parties who may have questions related to the
reorganization. In addition, parties are encouraged to visit the
Company's Chapter 11 case information website at
http://chapter11.epiqsystems.com/ybc,for updates and other
information surrounding the bankruptcy filing.

Young Broadcasting determined to forego making a $4.513 million
interest payment due February 6 on the Company's Senior Secured
Credit Facility due 2012, as part of a strategy to preserve
liquidity.  Under the terms of the facility, a 10-day grace period
will apply to the missed interest payment.

Trading on Young Broadcasting's common stock was suspended
effective at the open of business on January 27, 2009.  Young
Broadcasting had received a notification from the NASDAQ Hearings
Panel that the Company's common stock would be delisted from The
NASDAQ Stock Market since the Company failed to meet certain of
the NASDAQ requirements for continued listing.

The Company had said it does not intend to appeal the NASDAQ
Hearing Panel's determination, and that the Company was working
with a market maker to complete the application to have its common
stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a regulated quotation
service for over-the-counter securities.

Westport Asset Management, Inc. and Westport Advisers LLC, on
Friday, disclosed that they beneficially own 1,003,100 shares,
representing 4.60%, of Young Broadcasting's common stock.
Westport Asset Management owns 50% of Westport Advisers LLC.
Westport Asset Management is an investment advisor and Westport
Advisers LLC is an investment advisor for a Series of Public
Mutual Funds.

* Grant Thornton Says Over 30% of Homebuilders Are Bankruptcy Risk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on a review of the 33 U.S. homebuilders with more than
$10 million in revenue, more than 30% are in financial distress
and in danger of filing for bankruptcy, according to an analysis
by Grant Thornton LLP's Corporate Advisory and Restructuring
Services.

"It's striking when you see just how much cash flow has continued
to decline for the better builders," said John Bittner, partner at
Grant Thornton Corporate Advisory and Restructuring Services.
"This year it will be all about keeping cash flow positive by
cutting operating costs and liquidating assets.  It'll get to a
point, however, when builders get rid of the assets with the most
value and expenses can't be cut much further.  After that, there's
not much they can do except wait for a turnaround in the housing
market."

Records show 143 U.S. homebuilders filed for bankruptcy last year
versus 80 in 2007.  To remain viable, many will be forced to
continue to reduce expenses and cut prices on existing inventory
to increase cash flow, in contrast to their previous focus on
revenue growth for the better part of this decade.

"It wouldn't surprise me to see one or two of the top 10
homebuilders filing this year," said Mr. Bittner.  "But in most
cases, the current lending environment is unique in that as long
as a builder has positive cash flow, the lender doesn't want to
foreclose or force a bankruptcy filing.  Recovery is more likely
if a bank can be patient with a borrower.  Positive cash flow and
ability to service interest on a credit facility provides for a
better negotiation position with the lender."

According to Grant Thornton principal Tim Skillman, southern
California and Florida are key markets to watch for evidence of a
national turnaround.

"We won't begin to see a recovery until these regions bottom out,"
Mr. Bittner said.  "The indicator will be not the quantity of
sales, but the median price of homes sold."

Mr. Skillman believes expense reduction will be critical.  Average
revenue per homebuilder declined to $1.9 million last year versus
its peak at $3.7 million in 2006, a nearly 50% drop.  Homebuilders
that significantly scale back new-land purchases and maintain both
positive cash flow and maximum cash balance on hand will be in an
improved position to combat distress.

"In this recession, the decline in housing starts up to this point
has been largely a result of the contraction in the financing
market," said Mr. Skillman.  "With unemployment rates rising
across the country, we could see a 'double dip' in housing starts
and home prices."

* $787B Stimulus Plan Gets Congress OK, President to Sign Tuesday
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Greg Hitt and Jonathan Weisman at The Wall Street Journal report
that the Congress has approved the $787.2 billion stimulus
package, which is a mix of government spending and tax cuts, after
246 Democrats voted in favor of the plan.

WSJ relates that the Democratic Congress adopted last year a
stimulus package that was less than a third the size of the
revised $787.2 billion plan.

On Friday, the Congress voted to pass a compromise economic
recovery package of spending provisions, tax cuts, and aid to
laid-off workers and their families, after a month of debate, WSJ
states.  According to WSJ, the stimulus plan didn't get any vote
from members of the Republican in the House.  The report says that
seven Democrats joined 176 Republicans in opposition.

WSJ reports that three Senate Republicans had joined with 57
Senate Democrats in support of the package, while 38 Republicans
voted against it.  WSJ relates that the plan, receiving 60-38 from
the Senate, would be sent to the White House for President Barack
Obama to sign into law.  The Associated Press and Reuters say that
the signing will be on Tuesday.

According to WSJ, the White House estimates that the stimulus plan
will create or preserve about 3.5 million jobs.  WSJ says that
administration officials admitted that they gave up some "economic
punch" to get the bill passed.  The report says that a $70 billion
measure holding 26 million middle-income Americans harmless from
the alternative minimum tax was kept in at the request of Senate
Republican backers of the bill.

WSJ reports that a third of the stimulus package involves tax cuts
for business and individuals, including:

     -- a $400 payroll-tax holiday for employees,
     -- an expanded child tax credit, and
     -- more generous tax breaks for college expenses.

New incentives would also be provided for those who buy
automobiles and for first-time homebuyers, WSJ states.

WSJ relates that over the next two years, billions of dollars will
be used:

     -- to expand unemployment benefits,

     -- to help cash-strapped states avoid cuts in education and
        health care for the poor, and

     -- for job-creating investments in scientific research,
        green technologies, and road construction, among other
        things.

A $250 one-time payment would be made to millions of retirees,
while employees who have been laid off would receive new subsidies
to continue their health-care coverage, WSJ says.

The package is needed to "ignite spending by businesses and
consumers" and "make the investments necessary for lasting
economic growth and prosperity," but that legislation is "only the
beginning" of what will ultimately be "a long and difficult
process of turning our economy" around, WSJ states, citing
President Obama.

                            *********

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.

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.

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.
