ACCO BRANDS: Note Upsizing Cues S&P to Retain 'BB-' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its 'BB-' issue-level
and recovery ratings on ACCO Brands Corp.'s senior secured notes
due 2015 remain unchanged following a $35 million upsize on the
notes for a new total principal amount outstanding of
$460 million.

Net proceeds of the issue, along with borrowings under a proposed
new multicurrency $175 million asset-based revolving credit
facility (unrated), will be used to refinance and replace its
existing senior secured credit facilities and accounts receivable
securitization program (unrated) and pay transaction and related
costs.

"Although this transaction addresses S&P's prior concern about the
company's ability to maintain adequate cushion on its existing
bank financial covenants in the second half of 2009, given the
seasonal nature of ACCO's business, along with S&P's continued
concerns about the continuing effects of the weak economic
environment on the company's operating results, S&P believes it
could result in credit measures that may weaken from current
levels," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jean C.  Stout.
S&P could lower the ratings on ACCO if leverage increases further.

The 'B+' rating on Lincolnshire, Illinois-based ACCO Brands Corp.
reflects the highly competitive and cyclical operating environment
in which it operates, some customer concentration, and the
company's leveraged financial profile.  ACCO benefits from its
leading market position, a portfolio of well-known brands, and
wide geographic distribution.

ADAK FISHERIES: Political & Business Woes Cause Chapter 11 Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Anchorage Daily News reports that Adak Fisheries, LLC, has filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Alaska, after a complicated political and
business battle.

Deckboss blog relates that Adak Fisheries has been facing lawsuits
filed by:

     -- the local electric utility, TDX Adak Generating, which is
        seeking for payment of potentially more than $1 million
        overdue power bills and damages for "intentionally
        tampering" with an electric meter to show the plant used
        way less juice than it actually did;

     -- Coastal Transportation Inc., which is seeking $56,520 in
        unpaid bills for shipping everything from boots and rain
        gear to pallets of salt.  According to court documents, a
        default judgment has been entered against Adak Fisheries
        for failure to answer the lawsuit; and

     -- Toyota Motor Credit Corp. and Daimler Chrysler Financial
        Services.

Adak Fisheries listed $10 million to $50 million in liabilities
against $10 million to $50 million in assets.  According to
Deckboss, some of Adak Fisheries' largest creditors include:

     -- Drevik International AS, which has a $3.8 million claim;
     -- Aleut Enterprise LLC, which has a $1.3 million claim;
     -- Muir Milach Management LLC, which has a $402,000 claim;
     -- TDX Adak Generating LLC, which has a $268,000 claim;
     -- Trident Seafoods Corp., which has a $255,000 claim; and
     -- the IRS, which has a $231,000 claim.

Deckboss says that Independence Bank has sought to convert Adak
Fisheries' Chapter 11 reorganization case to Chapter 7
liquidation.  Deckboss states that Independence Bank claims it
loaned Adak Fisheries and founder Kjetil Solberg $4.35 million in
2007 and that it "has a first position security interest in
essentially all of Adak's assets."

Anchorage, Alaska-based Adak Fisheries, LLC, is a seafood
processor.  It runs a plant for processing cod and other fish on
distant Adak Island in the Aleutians.


ALFRED FRAUMENI: Cape Cod Broadcasting Files for Chapter 11 Bankr.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Cape Cod Broadcasting has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection.

Court documents say that Cape Cod Broadcasting is out of operating
cash, unless the court approves a loan of up to $500,000.  Radio
Online relates that Cape Cod Broadcasting has less than $50,000 in
assets, against $10 million to $50 million in debt.

Hyannis-based Cape Cod Broadcasting owns four FM outlets in Cap
Cod: AC WQRC-FM (99.9), Soft AC WOCN-FM (104.7), Country WKPE-FM
(103.9 FM), and Classical WFCC-FM (107.5), the flagship station
for the World Classical Music Network.

Lynnfield, Massachusetts-based Alfred V. Fraumeni Jr., Inc., filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 23, 2009 (Bankr.
D. Mass. Case No. 09-19043).  Its affiliates -- which include
Sandab Communications Limited Partnership II; Cape Cod
Broadcasting I, LLC; and World Classical Network LLC -- also filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Jay P. Johnson, Esq., who has an
office in Peabody, Massachusetts, assists Alfred V. Fraumeni in
its restructuring efforts.  Alfred V. Fraumeni listed $1,000,001
to $10,000,000 in assets and $100,001 to $500,000 in liabilities.
According to the schedules, the Company has assets of at least
$5,780,000, and total debts of $150,135.


ALION SCIENCE: S&P Puts 'B-' Ratings on CreditWatch Negative
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed its 'B-'
corporate credit, senior credit facility, and senior unsecured
debt ratings on Alion Science and Technology Corp. on CreditWatch
with negative implications while the company seeks an amendment to
its revolving credit facility.  If the company is unable to obtain
this amendment, Alion's liquidity would be severely constrained.

Alion is seeking an extension of its revolver beyond its September
2009 expiration.  In addition, the company is seeking an amendment
to its senior leverage covenant which will step down to 3.00x in
December 2009 from 4.25x.  With any new amendment, S&P expects the
company to reset covenants to allow for more headroom starting in
the December 2009 quarter.  The company was in compliance with all
financial covenants as of June 30, 2009.

"We will monitor Alion's ability to amend its credit facility,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jennifer Pepper.  The
company has indicated that it expects to close on an amendment by
Sept. 30, 2009.  "If the company achieves meaningful covenant
relief and extends the revolver," added Ms. Pepper, "we would
expect to change the outlook to stable." Conversely, in the
absence of an executed amendment, S&P would lower the rating.


ALIZADEH'S JACK: Went Bankrupt After Losing License for Franchises
------------------------------------------------------------------
Nathan Donato-Weinstein at Rosevill Press-Tribune reports that Abe
Alizadeh was forced to seek bankruptcy protection after the state
of California revoked his license to operate the 70 Northern
California Jack in the Box franchises he owns due to millions in
back taxes.

Court documents say that Mr. Alizadeh's 70 Jack in the Box
restaurants ran into trouble after he used their profits to prop
up a failing real-estate empire.  Mr. Alizadeh's Kobra Associates
Inc., Central Valley Food Services Inc., Food Service Management
Inc., and Sierra Valley Restaurants owe four banks more than
$40 million, according to court documents.

Press-Tribune relates that unsecured debt totals $18 million to
more than 150 suppliers and vendors, including city, state and
federal tax authorities.

According to Press-Tribune, Jack in the Box operations were
profitable, with combined annualized revenues of $92 million.  In
the last fiscal year, the companies reported net income of more
than $5.6 million, says the report.  But ". . . a sizeable portion
of the (Jack in the Box) Debtors' income has been used in recent
years to subsidize operating losses in certain real estate
ventures that are affiliates of the JIB Debtors . . . although all
such uses of the JIB Debtors' income has long since ended, the
prior use of funds left the JIB Debtors with insufficient cash
flow and delinquencies owing to its own creditors," the report
quoted Mr. Alizadeh as saying.

Abe Alizadeh is a longtime Jack in the Box Inc. franchisee in
Northern California.  He has sent four entities that operate his
Jack in the Box Inc. franchised restaurants to Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection.


AMERICAN AXLE: New GM Discloses 6.9% Equity Stake
-------------------------------------------------
General Motors Company disclosed holding 4,093,729 shares or
roughly 6.9% of the common stock of American Axle & Manufacturing
Holdings, Inc.

New GM, Axle's customer, acquired warrants for the purchase of
4,093,729 shares of Axle Common Stock on September 16, 2009.  The
Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to September 16, 2014,
5:00 p.m. New York City time, at an exercise price of $2.76 per
share.  The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment pursuant to a
Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2009, by and between
Axle and New GM.

Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, New GM has agreed that, except
for a limited period after any exercise of the Warrants before the
30th day preceding the Warrant expiration date, it will vote any
shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Warrants
proportionally with all other stockholders of Axle.  In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, while New GM (or
any of its affiliates) holds any Warrants or Warrant Shares, New
GM has agreed that, among other things, neither it nor its
affiliates will, without the prior written consent of Axle, (a)
acquire, directly or indirectly, any securities if, following such
acquisition, New GM and its affiliates would be the beneficial
owners of more than 20% of the then outstanding Common Stock, or
(b) seek, propose or take other action, whether by itself or with
others, for the purpose of, directly or indirectly, influencing or
controlling the management or policies of Axle.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 18,
2009, Axle obtained amended terms from lenders and a $110 million
payment from New GM.  GM also agreed to make payments for parts in
about 10 days rather than previous terms of about 45 days, through
June 30, 2011.

The deals likely prevented a bankruptcy filing by American Axle,
The Associated Press has said.

AMR CORP: To Raise $800MM by Issuing Convertible Notes, Shares
--------------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corporation seeks to raise roughly $800,000,000 by issuing
securities.

     -- $400,000,000 of 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014;
        and

     -- $400,000,004 in AMR common stock.

AMR intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general
corporate purposes.

     (A) 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014

The Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 will bear interest at the
rate of 6.25% per year.  Interest on the notes is payable on April
15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2010.  The
notes will mature on October 15, 2014.  The notes are not
redeemable prior to maturity.

The notes are convertible by holders into shares of AMR common
stock at an initial conversion rate of 101.0101 shares per $1,000
principal amount of the notes, equivalent to an initial conversion
price of approximately $9.90 per share, subject to adjustment upon
the occurrence of certain events, at any time prior to the close
of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity
date of the notes.

AMR has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an
additional $60,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes to
cover over-allotments.

AMR estimates that the net proceeds of the offering will be
roughly $388,000,000 -- roughly $447,000,000 if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full -- after deducting the
underwriters' discount and estimated expenses of the offering
payable by AMR.

The notes will be AMR's unsecured senior obligations and will rank
equally with all of its other unsecured senior indebtedness.  Its
wholly owned subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc., will guarantee
the notes on an unsecured senior basis.  The guarantee will rank
equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of American Airlines.

Interest on the notes will accrue from September 28, 2009, to the
date of delivery.  The underwriters expect to deliver the notes to
purchasers on or about September 28 only in book-entry form
through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company.

and UBS Securities LLC are acting as joint book-running managers
of the offering and as representatives of the underwriters.  Each

APPLETON PAPERS: Obtains Lenders' Support to Amend Bank Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
Appleton Papers Inc. said Friday that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on September 24, it had received approvals from a
sufficient number of its bank lenders to effect an amendment to
its credit agreement.

The amendment was required to permit Appleton to issue new 11.25%
Second Lien Notes due 2015 in exchange for its outstanding 8.125%
Senior Notes due 2011 and 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2014.  The private exchange offers were scheduled to expire at
12:00 midnight September 25.

The exchange offers are being made only to qualified institutional
buyers, accredited investors and certain investors located outside
the United States.  The new notes have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law,
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an exemption from registration requirements and
will be subject to substantial restrictions on transfer.

                       Distressed Exchange

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on August 20, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Appleton Papers to 'CC' from 'B'.  At the same time, S&P
lowered the issue-level ratings on the company's senior notes and
subordinated notes to 'C' from 'CCC+'.  The outlook is negative.

S&P also placed 'B+' issue-level rating on the Company's secured
bank credit facilities on CreditWatch with negative implications.
The recovery rating remains '2', indicating S&P's expectation of
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of payment default.

The rating actions follow Appleton's announcement that it is
offering to exchange $200 million of proposed new second-lien
secured notes for the outstanding senior unsecured and
subordinated notes in its capital structure.  In the case of the
subordinated notes, the exchange for the new notes would represent
a substantial discount to the par amount.  For the senior
unsecured notes, the exchange for the new notes would be at par,
while the maturity would be extended beyond the original maturity
of the existing notes.  "As a result, S&P view the exchanges as
being tantamount to default given Appleton's stressed and highly
leveraged financial risk profile and S&P's concerns around
Appleton's ability to service its current capital structure over
the intermediate term due to the challenging operating
environment," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Sookram.

The TCR also said Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating
to Appleton Papers' proposed new secured notes due 2015 and
downgraded the company's existing senior subordinated notes to Ca
from Caa1.  At the same time, Moody's downgraded the company's
probability of default rating to Caa3 from B2.  Moody's also
affirmed the company's B2 corporate family rating and speculative
grade liquidity rating of SGL-4.  The outlook remains negative.

Because the exchange offer for the senior subordinated debt is
being done at 60% of par, and nonconsenting holders of the
existing senior unsecured and senior subordinated notes will lose
certain rights and be effectively subordinated to the new notes,
Moody's views the exchange offer to be a distressed exchange,
which is an event of default under Moody's definition of default.

AQUILEX HOLDINGS: S&P Gives Negative Outlook, Affirms 'B' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on Atlanta, Georgia-based Aquilex Holdings LLC to negative
from stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed all its ratings,
including the 'B' corporate credit rating, on the company.

"The outlook revision follows weaker-than expected earnings as
cyclical lows in petrochemical end-markets, postponed work by
nuclear generators, and intensified competitive pricing conditions
have affected demand and profitability," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Ket Gondha.  "We are also somewhat concerned
because cushions under financial covenants have diminished, and a
weak fall outage season could further affect the company's ability
to maintain covenant compliance and sufficient liquidity,
particularly as the spring outage season approaches."

The ratings on Aquilex reflect a narrow scope of operations in a
fragmented market, a moderately concentrated customer base,
exposure to cyclicality in certain end-markets, limited liquidity,
and high debt leverage.  Partially offsetting these weaknesses are
Aquilex's leading market position in its niche markets, variable
cost structure, and long-term customer relationships.


ARENA FOOTBALL: Teams to Transfer to New League
-----------------------------------------------
Terez A. Paylor at The Kansas City Star reports that teams from
the Arena Football League and the arenafootball2 minor league
would disclose on September 27 the formation of a new league.

According to The Kansas City Star, brigade owner Chris Likens said
that he wasn't joining the new league, which could be called Arena
Football 1, as players will make significantly less.  Mr. Likens
said that he's only aware of a handful of AFL teams -- Arizona,
San Jose and maybe Orlando -- that will transfer to the new
league, The Kansas City Star states.  "We're staying with the AFL,
we still believe in the AFL," the report quoted Mr. Likens as
saying.  According to the report, Mr. Likens said that AFL's
remaining owners are still planning on coming back in 2011, and
"currently, we are working on a single-operating business model
where all the teams would work together to control costs and sell
tickets."

The Arena Football League was founded in 1987 as an American
football indoor league by Jim Foster.  It is played indoors on a
smaller field than American football, resulting in a faster and
higher-scoring game.  Almost two months after the New Orleans
Voodoo folded on the league's owners chose to cancel the 2009
season to work on developing a long-term plan to improve its
economic model.

As reported by the TCR on August 14, 2009, Arena Football League
LLC was sent to Chapter 7 liquidation on August 7 by creditors
owed a total of $300,000.  The involuntary petition was signed by
Gridiron Enterprises Inc., Johnson & Bell Ltd., and Sheraton New
Orleans Hotel.  Gridiron is the largest of the three creditors,
with $272,000 owed to it.  Attorney Richard Lauter of Freeborn &
Peters LLP in Chicago is representing the petitioners.  The case
is In re Arena Football League LLC, 09-29024, U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).

Chris Likens confirmed that the league is in Chapter 11
bankruptcy, The Kansas City Star says.

ASARCO LLC: Bankruptcy Exit Before End of Year, Says Grupo
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Richard Schmidt on Sept. 24 issued
a report to the U.S. District Court ratifying his previous
recommendation for confirmation of the Reorganization Plan for
ASARCO filed by Americas Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of GRUPO
MXICO, S.A.B. DE C.V.   The Report and Recommendation reinforces
Judge Schmidt's belief that the AMC plan should be confirmed by
U.S. District Court Judge Andrew S. Hanen.

According to Grupo Mexico, Judge Schmidt in his opinion determined
that notwithstanding the post-deadline modifications made by
Sterlite to its offer and the accompanying late amendments to the
Debtor's plan made at the direction of the independent members of
the ASARCO Board of Directors following the Bankruptcy Court's
rejection of the Debtors' Plan in its previous Report and
Recommendation dated August 31, 2009, ". . .the Parent's plan is
superior and should be confirmed because it provides higher
payment for the assets of the estate . . . " and ". . .the
treatment of equity under Parent's Plan is superior." Judge
Schmidt also states that confirmation of the Parent's Plan should
be expected by the end of October.

The resolution from Judge Schmidt also states that the Bankruptcy
Code does not provide an unlimited right to modify a plan of
reorganization after it has been rejected in favor of a superior
plan, as Sterlite and the independent members of the ASARCO Board
attempted to do.

Finally, Judge Schmidt concluded, "If the Parent's Plan is closed
it will culminate perhaps the most successful major bankruptcy
reorganization in history."

Grupo Mexico is extremely pleased with the resolution from the
Corpus Christi Bankruptcy Court and considers it a complete
victory for the Parent, ASARCO and its creditors.  In addition to
recommending confirmation of its Reorganization Plan by the
Brownsville District Court in the very near term, the decision
will assure the full payment to the ASARCO creditors, payment of
the environmental and asbestos claims, a definite exit of Asarco
from the Chapter 11 before the end of year, and a full release of
the Brownsville judgment.

Court is available for free at:

BEAR STEARNS: Ex-CEO Sued by PCM for Alleged Misrepresentations
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chad Bray at The Wall Street Journal reports that Private Capital
Management LP co-founder Bruce Sherman has sued former Bear
Stearns CEO James Cayne and others at the Company, claiming that
the defendants made material misrepresentations about the
Company's financial health and risk management before it collapsed
in 2008.

The Journal relates that other defendants are:

     -- Bear Stearns,

     -- former Co-President and Chief Operating Officer Warren
        Spector, and

     -- outside auditor Deloitte & Touche LLP.

According to court documents, Mr. Sherman suffered steep losses on
his Bear Stearns.  Mr. Sherman, who at one point had investment
control over 5.9% of Bear Stearns' outstanding shares, said in
court documents that the misrepresentations made him hold onto
shares he "would otherwise have sold months before Bear ultimately
collapsed".  "Defendants knew that the market and the financial
press would view Sherman's sale of his Bear stock as a loss of
confidence in Bear by a well-known and long-standing investor,"
Mr. Sherman said.

"Deloitte believes the complaint to be totally without merit and
we will defend against it vigorously," the auditing firm said in a
statement.

New York City-based The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (NYSE: BSC)
-- http://www.bearstearns.com/-- was a leading financial services
firm serving governments, corporations, institutions and
individuals worldwide.  The investment bank collapsed in 2008 and
was sold in a distressed sale to JPMorgan Chase in a transaction
backed by the U.S. government.

BIOFUEL ENERGY: Posts $9MM Net Loss in Quarter Ended June 30
------------------------------------------------------------
BioFuel Energy Corp. posted a net loss of $8,988,000 for three
months ended June 30, 2009, compared with a net income of
$2,383,000 for the same period in 2008.

For six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company posted a net loss
of $20,166,000 compared with a net loss $1,193,000 for the same
period in 2008.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2009, showed total assets
of $346,601,000 and total liabilities of $270,516,000 and a
stockholders' equity of $76,085,000.

The Company said that there is substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.  The Company noted that it the net
loss incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
resulted from poor operating margins due to the relative prices of
corn and ethanol.

In addition, on June 30, 2009, as a result of a continuing dispute
with BNP Paribas and the other lenders under the senior secured
credit facility entered into by certain of the Company's
subsidiaries and the lenders, the entire outstanding amount of
construction loans under the Senior Debt facility became due and
payable.  As part of the continuing dispute, the Operating
Subsidiaries were not able to convert the outstanding construction
loans into term loans maturing in 2014, as provided under the
terms of the Senior Debt facility.  The conversion would have
prevented the construction loans from becoming due and payable on
June 30, 2009.  Under the terms of the Senior Debt facility,
minimum quarterly principal payments of $3,150,000 were scheduled
to begin on June 30, 2009, provided the loans had converted to
term loans on or prior to the date.

BLOCKBUSTER INC: Bank Debt Trades at 1.25% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Blockbuster, Inc.,
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 98.75 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to data
compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall Street
Journal.  This represents an increase of 3.44 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
Aug. 20, 2011.  The Company pays 375 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's B1
rating and Standard & Poor's B rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans
with five or more bids.

Blockbuster, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a leading
global provider of in-home movie and game entertainment with
approximately 7,400 stores throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia,
and Australia.  Revenues are about $5.3 billion.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Sept. 18, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Blockbuster, Inc., to 'B-' from 'CCC'.  The outlook is
stable.  At the same time, S&P assigned a 'B' rating to the
company's $675 million senior secured notes with a recovery rating
of '2', indicating S&P's expectation for substantial (70%-90%)
recovery in the event of payment default.  In addition, S&P raised
the senior secured debt rating on the company's revolver and term
loan to 'B' from 'CCC+'; raised the subordinated debt issue to
'CCC+' from 'CC'; and revised the recovery rating on the
subordinated debt to '5', indicating S&P's expectation for modest
(10% - 30%) recovery in the event of payment default, from '6'.

"The upgrade reflects S&P's estimation that the refinancing
enhances the company's liquidity profile and is likely to improve
operating flexibility," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
David M. Kuntz.

The ratings on Blockbuster Inc. reflect its participation in an
extremely competitive home entertainment market, the technology
risks associated with video delivery to the end user, its
dependence on decisions made by the movie studios, and a highly
leveraged capital structure.

The TCR also stated on Sept. 18, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
placed Blockbuster, Inc.'s Caa2 Corporate Family Rating, Caa3
Probability of Default Rating, and Ca senior subordinated notes on
review for possible upgrade.  Moody's also assigned a B1 rating to
Blockbuster, Inc.'s proposed $675 million senior secured notes due
2014.  The B1 rating on the company's existing $550 million senior
secured credit facilities was affirmed.  Blockbuster has an SGL-4
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating.

Proceeds from the proposed $675 million senior secured notes will
be used to repay Blockbuster's fully drawn $250 million revolving
credit facility, $300 million senior secured term loan B, and
amounts outstanding under its Canadian asset-based revolving
credit facility.

The review for upgrade considers that the successful closing of
the proposed senior secured note transaction and full repayment of
its existing senior secured credit facilities would strengthen the
company's capital structure and address key constraints to its
liquidity.  This would likely result in a one-notch upgrade of the
company's CFR, PDR, and senior subordinated notes, as well as an
improvement in the company's Speculative Grade Liquidity rating.


BROWN JORDAN: Moody's Gives Negative Outlook, Affirms 'B2' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Brown Jordan International,
Inc.'s ratings outlook to negative from stable.  Concurrently,
Moody's affirmed Brown Jordan's debt ratings, including its B2
Corporate Family Rating.

The outlook change to negative reflects Moody's concern that weak
economic conditions will continue to negatively impact Brown
Jordan's sales volume and profitability over the near term,
potentially depleting the modest cushion under its financial
covenants, particularly when considering the upcoming contractual
tightening of its leverage covenant.

Brown Jordan's B2 corporate family rating reflects the company's
small size, limited diversity, and the highly discretionary nature
of its products.  Moody's concern regarding the current severe
economic downturn and weak discretionary consumer spending is a
significant constraint to the rating.  The rating is supported by
the company's position as one of the leading outdoor furniture
companies in North America, well-known brands and established
customer relationships, as well as distribution breadth and
strength.  Management's focus on reducing costs and improving
efficiencies have contributed to historically stable margins and
solid credit metrics for the rating.  Notwithstanding modest
covenant cushion, Brown Jordan's liquidity appears adequate,
supported by balance sheet cash and the expectation for positive,
yet highly seasonal, free cash flow generation and ample
availability under its revolving credit facility.

Brown Jordan's ratings are:

  -- Corporate Family Rating at B2;
  -- Probability of Default Rating at B3;
  -- Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility at Ba3 (LGD2, 17%);
  -- Senior Secured Term Loan at B2 (LGD3, 35%);
  -- Senior Secured Second Lien Loan at Caa1 (LGD4, 65%)

The ratings outlook is negative.

Moody's last commented on Brown Jordan on December 17, 2008.  The
last rating action on Brown Jordan occurred on October 2, 2006,
when Moody's assigned the B2 CFR and stable outlook.

Brown Jordan is one of the premier designers, manufacturers and
marketers of outdoor retail and contract furnishings with brand
names that include Brown Jordan and Winston among others, as well
as other retailer-branded and licensed brand names.  Consolidated
revenue for the latest twelve month period ending June 30, 2009,
is estimated to be around $300 million.


CANWEST MEDIA: Ten Network Deal Won't Affect Moody's Ca/LD Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said Canwest Media Inc.'s pending sale
of its indirect interest in Ten Network Holdings Limited, while a
positive development, has no impact on Canwest's ratings.

Moody's most recent rating action concerning Canwest was taken on
April 20, 2009 at which time the company's probability of default
rating was downgraded to Ca/LD as a consequence an interest
payment on its US$761 million 8% senior subordinated notes due 15
September, 2012, not having been paid prior to the expiration of
the applicable cure period.

Canwest's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors Moody's
believes 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 Canwest's core industries and Canwest's ratings are
believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of similar
credit risk.

Canwest Media Inc. is wholly-owned by Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada-
based Canwest Global Communications Corp., a publicly traded
international media company with interests in broadcast
television, publications, radio, specialty television channels,
out-of-home advertising and interactive operations.  Substantially
all of the publicly traded parent company's operations are held
though Canwest.


CAPITAL CORP: Plans to Pay Impaired Creditors Up To 29%
-------------------------------------------------------
Capital Corp. of the West has filed a Chapter 11 liquidation plan,
saying creditors should expect recoveries of between 8% and 29% on
impaired claims.

Incorporated on April 26, 2005, Capital Corp of the West is a bank
holding company whose primary asset and source of income is County
Bank.  County Bank is a community bank with operations located
mainly in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California with
additional business banking operations in the San Francisco Bay
Area.  The corporate headquarters of the Company and the Bank's
main branch facility are located at 550 West Main Street, Merced,
California.

County Bank was closed February 6, 2009, by the California
Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.  To protect the
depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with Westamerica Bank, based in San Rafael, California,
to assume all of the deposits of County Bank.  As of February 2,
2009, County Bank had total assets of approximately $1.7 billion
and total deposits of $1.3 billion.  In addition to assuming all
of the failed bank's deposits, including those from brokers,
Westamerica Bank agreed to purchase all of County Bank's assets.

According to Capital Corp, although County Bank made no "subprime
mortgages," it had made substantial loans to developers for
acquisition, development and construction of residential homes and
condominiums throughout California's Central Valley.  Overbuilding
and an increase in foreclosures in the market resulted in rapidly
declining real property values, and contributed to the rise in
nonperforming loans.

Capital Corp of the West filed for bankruptcy on May 11, 2009
(Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 09-14298).  Judge W. Richard Lee
presides over the case.  Paul J. Pascuzzi, Esq., at Felderstein
Fitzgerald Willoughby & Pascuzzi, serves as the Debtor's
bankruptcy counsel.  Hagop T. Bedoyan, Esq., serves as counsel to
the official committee of unsecured creditors.  As of Sept. 30,
2008, Capital Corp of the West had $1.87 million in total assets,
$1.80 million in total liabilities and shareholders' equity of
$73,896.  In its Chapter 11 petition, the Company disclosed
$6,789,058 in total assets and $68,096,190 in total debts.


CATALYST PAPER: Proposes Elk Falls Mill Restart Plan to Union
-------------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst Paper Corp. on September 18, 2009, presented the two
union locals representing workers at its Elk Falls paper mill in
British Columbia, Canada, with a plan that would result in the
restart of production.  The company's plan provides for the start
up of at least two of the mill's paper machines and a profit
sharing system based on the company's earnings, in return for
changes to wages and benefits.  Under the company's plan, the
average hourly wage rate would remain in excess of $26.00.

"Our business is in the grip of a deep cyclical downturn, coupled
with demand shifts and structural changes. We have to make
adjustments to the cost structure of each of our mills to give
them the greatest opportunity for a successful operation long-
term," said Richard Garneau, president and chief executive
officer.

"We would rather work through the details of the issues facing the
Elk Falls mill together with the union locals, but they declined
that opportunity and asked the company for a plan," he said.  "We
recognize our plan proposes changes to the status quo at the mill
but believe it reflects the need to adapt to the lower-cost
demands of our new, smaller, highly competitive market," he added.

The Elk Falls mill was indefinitely idled in early February with
resulting layoffs affecting approximately 400 hourly and staff
employees. Elk Falls hourly employees are represented by
Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP)
locals 630 and 1123.

On June 23, 2009, the Company said it is reviewing alternatives to
address the maturity of its senior unsecured notes of
US$354 million, 8.625% notes and US$250 million, 7.375% notes
which mature in June 2011 and March 2014, respectively.  The
Company intends to take proactive steps towards refinancing in
light of current adverse credit conditions and the absence of any
signs of a meaningful recovery for the Company's product lines.

The Company's long-term corporate credit ratings were lowered from
B to CCC+ by Standard & Poor's Rating in June 2009 and from B1 to
B3 by Moody's Investors Service in July 2009.  The rating declines
reflect both the announced review of refinancing alternatives and
the weak market environment for the Company's products.

CHANA TAUB: Fraudulent Transfer Litigation Goes to State Court
--------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that permissive abstention was warranted in a
Chapter 11 debtor's adversary proceeding seeking an order that
certain properties were transferred fraudulently by her estranged
husband to his daughters or, alternatively, the imposition of a
constructive trust in her favor or the appointment of a receiver
as to the properties.  Abstention would aid the administration of
the bankruptcy estate in light of the bankruptcy court's
inability, absent all parties' consent, to enter a judgment on
non-core issues, including the debtor's claims related to the
properties.  Moreover, state-law issues predominated over
bankruptcy issues and the relief sought could be pursued in
pending state-court proceedings.  In addition, the issues to be
determined were remote from those raised in the debtor's main
case, and it was feasible to allow the claims to be determined by
the state court, with enforcement as appropriate in the bankruptcy
court.  In re Taub, --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 2837353 (Bankr.
E.D.N.Y.).

Chana Taub brought an adversary proceeding (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Adv.
Pro. No. 09-1027) against her estranged husband, his two daughters
from a prior marriage, and 10 Grand Avenue LLC, seeking an order
that certain real property was transferred fraudulently by Mr.
Taub to the daughters or, alternatively, imposition of
constructive trust in her favor or appointment of receiver for the
property.  The Defendants moved for abstention.  The Honorable
Elizabeth S. Stong held that (1) the adversary proceeding was a
non-core, "related to" proceeding, as required for mandatory
abstention to apply; (2) no basis for exercise of federal
jurisdiction existed other than bankruptcy jurisdiction, as
required for mandatory abstention to apply; and (3) permissive
abstention was warranted.

Chana Taub filed a chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No.
08-44210) on July 1, 2008, and is represented by:

COUNTRYWIDE FIN'L: Congress Wants More Info on Mortgage Program
---------------------------------------------------------------
John R. Emshwiller at The Wall Street Journal reports that the
congress has called for more information about Countrywide
Financial Corp.'s mortgage program.

According to The Journal, the calls were prompted by the discovery
that Countrywide Financial recorded phone conversations with
borrowers in a controversial mortgage program that included public
officials.  The Journal says that the recordings have been
destroyed.  The Journal relates that Rep. Darrell Issa of
California, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, is trying to subpoena the remaining records of
Countrywide's VIP loan program, but the committee's chairperson,
New York Democratic Rep. Edolphus Towns, has turned down that
request.

Citing Mr. Issa's spokesperson, The Journal states that the
committee's Republican staff investigators have spent months
looking into the VIP program and learned of the call-recording
system from a former Countrywide Financial worker.  According to
the report, the spokesperson said that when the investigators
contacted Bank of America Corp., which purchased Countrywide
Financial in July 2008, and the bank acknowledged the existence of
the recording system but said that the VIP program-related calls
had been disposed of.  VIP recordings "were retained only for a
limited time or until available recording space was utilized. Due
to these limitations, we have no recordings from before July 2008
when Bank of America assumed management of Countrywide and
terminated the VIP program," a BofA spokesperson said in a
statement.

Mr. Issa said that BofA's "refusal to fully explain" what happened
to the recordings "raises important questions," according to The
Journal.

Based in Calabasas, California, Countrywide Financial Corporation
(NYSE: CFC) -- http://www.countrywide.com/-- is a diversified
financial services provider and a member of the S&P 500, Forbes
2000 and Fortune 500.  Through its family of companies,
Countrywide originates, purchases, securitizes, sells, and
services residential and commercial loans; provides loan closing
services such as credit reports, appraisals and flood
determinations; offers banking services which include depository
and home loan products; conducts fixed income securities
underwriting and trading activities; provides property, life and
casualty insurance; and manages a captive mortgage reinsurance
company.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Bank of America
closed its purchase of Countrywide Financial for $2.5 billion on
July 1, 2008.  The mortgage lender was originally priced at
$4 billion, but the purchase price eventually was whittled down to
$2.5 billion based on BofA's stock prices that fell over 40% since
the time it agreed to buy the ailing lender.


COYOTES HOCKEY: Committee Gets Green Light to Bring Claims
----------------------------------------------------------

COYOTES HOCKEY: Jim Balsillie Adds New Terms to Bid for Team
------------------------------------------------------------
Jim Balsillie's lawyers have added new terms of his $242.5 million
bid for Phoenix Coyotes, court documents say.

Mr. Balsillie had offered Glendale $50 million to address concerns
and mitigate losses connected with the relocation of the team.  He
said that he would pay $25 million of that amount immediately
after the court approves the sale, Ajay Kamalakaran at Reuters
reports.  Reuters relates that Glendale would be able to keep the
$25 million even if the National Hockey League wins an appeal and
Mr. Balsillie loses his bid to acquire Phoenix Coyotes.

According to Reuters, Mr. Balsillie's lawyers said that they
understood that Glendale believed that it could find a buyer to
keep the team from moving, and offered to defer their bid's
closing date till after December 31, 2009, and up to June 30,
2010.  Reuters relates that Mr. Balsillie would drop his bid if
another buyer managed within that time to match the NHL's
$140 million offer and paid the debtor-in-possession financing
costs for the current hockey season.

Dewey Ranch Hockey LLC, Arena Management Group, LLC, Coyotes
Holdings, LLC, and Coyotes Hockey, LLC -- owners and affiliates of

----------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Sunnucks at Phoenix Business Journal reports that Wayne
Gretzky gave up his job as head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes on
Thursday, after missing all of the team's preseason games.  "This
was a difficult decision that I've thought long and hard about.
We all hoped there would be a resolution earlier this month to the
Coyotes ownership situation, but the decision is taking longer
than expected.  Since both remaining bidders have made it clear
that I don't fit into their future plans, I approached General
Manger Don Maloney and suggested he begin looking for someone to
replace me as coach.  Don has worked hard and explored many
options.  I think he has made an excellent choice, and so now it's
time for me to step aside," Mr. Gretzky posted on his Web site.

Dewey Ranch Hockey LLC, Arena Management Group, LLC, Coyotes
Holdings, LLC, and Coyotes Hockey, LLC -- owners and affiliates of
the Phoenix Coyotes National Hockey League team -- filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 09-09488) on

CRUCIBLE MATERIALS: Plea to End Bargaining Pacts Angers Union
-------------------------------------------------------------
Maria Guzzo at AMM reports that Crucible Materials Corp.'s request
to reject bargaining accords and termination of retiree benefits
has angered United Steelworkers representatives.

AMM quoted United Steelworkers' subdistrict director Richard J.
Knowles as saying, "We are surprised and shocked about the motions
Crucible filed.  We have considered it to be a hostile action by
them and we are taking a look at it.  But I think the Company is
just wasting time and money filing these motions."

Jeffrey Rich at Pittsburgh law firm K&L Gates LLP, who assists
Crucible Materials in its restructuring efforts, said that the
request is a regular part of the Chapter 11 process, AMM states.
According to the report, he said, "It's a protective step we feel
we have to do."

CRUCIBLE MATERIALS: Wins Court Nod to Sell Almost All Assets
------------------------------------------------------------
Crucible Materials Corp. approval from Judge Mary Walrath to sell
almost all of its assets for about $51 million, Michael Bathon at
Bloomberg reports.  Judge Walrath, according to the report,
granted Crucible permission to sell its assets to multiple buyers,
saying "the proposed sales are the highest and best offer," at a
hearing Sept. 25 in Wilmington, Delaware.

"It was a better result than we thought we would get," Jeffrey
Rich, a Crucible lawyer, said in an interview after the
hearing. "It was a very successful sale. We obtained a good
value for the assets."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 22, Crucible
conducted an auction on Sept. 21 where Allegheny Technologies
Incorporated emerged as the winning bidder for its compaction
metals and research divisions with its $40.95 million offer.  The
transaction is expected to close no later than October 31, 2009.
Carpenter Technology Corp. was the stalking horse bidder for the
compact metals and research divisions, with its $20 million offer.

The Debtors, according to the Bloomberg report, also received the
Bankruptcy Court's approval to sell (i) their specialty metals
division located in Syracuse, New York, to Crucible Industries
LLC, for $8 million, and (ii) their service center in Romeoville,
Illinois, to Erasteel Inc., a unit of Eramet SA, for $2 million.]

Mr. Bathon relates that Crucible put off selling a service center
in Huntsville, Alabama, to ALRO Steel, saying it needs to get a
more definitive value of the property.  A hearing as been set for
Oct. 8 for sale approval and Crucible will seek an appraisal in
the interim.

The Company said it could generate about $16.8 million by
liquidating the assets that weren't sold at the auction, and the
unsecured creditors could see a "significant distribution" in the
end.

National Commercial Auctioneers, LLC, a national auction company
specializing in the sale of commercial real estate and land at

DEAN FOODS: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Dean Foods is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 94.91 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to data
compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall Street
Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.64 percentage points from
the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
March 22, 2014.  The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's B1
rating and Standard & Poor's BB rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans
with five or more bids.

Dean Foods Company is the largest processor and distributor of
milk and various other dairy products in the United States, with
dairy operations accounting for around 79% of its net sales in
FY2008.  The company also markets and sells a variety of branded
dairy and dairy-related products including, Silk soymilk and
cultured soy products, Horizon Organic dairy products,
International Delight coffee creamers and LAND O'LAKES creamers
and fluid dairy products.  Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Dean
Foods had sales in the last twelve months ending March 31, 2009,
of approximately $12.1 billion.

Dean Foods carries a 'B1' corporate family rating from Moody's.


DELTA AIR: S&P Assigns 'CCC+' Rating on $600 Mil. Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Service assigned its 'CCC+' rating and
'6' recovery rating to Delta Air Lines Inc.'s $600 million second-
lien notes due 2015.  The '6' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation of minimal (0%-10%) recovery in a payment default
scenario.  All material direct and indirect subsidiaries of Delta,
including Northwest Airlines Corp. and Northwest Airlines Inc.,
guarantee the notes.

"Our ratings are based on S&P's modeling of estimated recovery in
a default scenario, which concluded that the second-lien notes
would receive no value after the senior claim of first-lien
lenders and noteholders is satisfied," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Betsy R. Snyder.

Northwest Airlines Inc.'s and Delta Air Lines Inc.'s international
Pacific route rights secure the notes on a junior basis.  The
first lien on that collateral secures $1.5 billion of bank
facilities and senior secured notes, which Delta is also issuing.
On Sept. 16, 2009, S&P assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and
'1' recovery rating, indicating S&P's expectation of a very high
(90%-100%) recovery in a payment default scenario.  In S&P's
simulated default scenario, S&P started with an appraised value of
$2.64 billion, the low end of a range of values, and applied a 40%
reduction in value to simulate the adverse conditions in which
Delta would file for bankruptcy.  The resulting $1.585 billion
stressed value would result in 95% recovery on $1.5 billion of
first-lien secured debt, up to $100 million of potential pari
passu hedge claims, and an estimated $67.5 million for six months
of interest.  Accordingly, in that scenario, there would be no
remaining value for second-lien noteholders.  The noteholders
would have a senior unsecured claim against Delta and the various
subsidiary guarantors, but S&P has analyzed recovery prospects for
senior unsecured creditors and concluded that they would also
likely receive minimal recovery.

The first- and second-lien financings should improve Delta's
liquidity outlook by refinancing a majority of the $1.8 billion of
current maturities of debt and capital leases (as of June 30,
2009) and by bolstering the company's cash balance.  S&P's
negative outlook reflects the continuing risk that a weaker-than-
expected economic recovery or renewed spike in fuel prices could
place renewed pressure on Delta's liquidity.  This would cause us
to lower the rating.  Alternatively, continued progress on
restoring financial performance could support an outlook revision
to stable.

DISH DBS: Fitch Assigns 'BB-' Rating on $300 Mil. Senior Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB-' rating to DISH DBS
Corporation's proposed $300 million offering of senior unsecured
notes.  The notes are expected to be placed under the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rule 144A.  DDBS is a wholly owned
subsidiary of DISH Network Corporation (DISH, Fitch Issuer Default
Rating of 'BB-').  Proceeds from the offering are expected to be
used for general corporate purposes.  As of June 30, 2009, DISH
had approximately $5.1 billion of debt outstanding.  The Rating
Outlook is Negative.

From Fitch's perspective, the issuance, coupled with DDBS'
issuance of $1 billion of 7.875% senior notes due 2019, will
bolster DISH's somewhat constrained liquidity position (relative
to a historical perspective) and Fitch believes that DISH's credit
profile has sufficient flexibility to accommodate a modest
increase in leverage.  Cash balances as of June 30, 2009 totaled
approximately $113 million.  Additional liquidity can be derived
from nearly $838 million of variable-rate demand notes held by
DISH.  Fitch notes that DISH does not maintain a revolver to
support its liquidity position.  Cash balances pro forma for the
issuance of the 7.875% senior notes and the proposed offering
approximated $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2009.

DISH's leverage on a latest 12-month basis as of June 30, 2009,
was 1.75 times (x), and is expected to increase to 2.2x on a pro
forma basis considering the new debt issuance.

Cash balances have been depleted to some extent due to large cash
requirements during 2008 related to the spinoff of Echostar
Corporation, acquisition of 700-megahertz wireless spectrum, the
redemption of senior notes and subordinated debt, and the cash
payment to Tivo, Inc., related to ongoing litigation.  While Fitch
expects DISH will continue to generate material amounts of free
cash flow during the ratings horizon, the company's liquidity
position will remain a rating issue given the uncertain cash
requirements related to the litigation with Tivo.  The U.S.
District Court in Texas in June 2009 awarded Tivo $103 million in
supplemental damages and interest for the period from September
2006 to April 2008.  The court's decision has been stayed pending
DISH's appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
Additionally, on Sept. 2, 2009, the U.S. District Court awarded
Tivo $200 million in contempt sanctions for violating a court-
ordered permanent injunction from April 2009 through July 2009.

Overall, Fitch's ratings reflect the operating leverage derived
from DISH's size and scale as the third-largest multichannel video
programming distributor in the U.S., and Fitch's expectation for
continued free cash flow generation.  The Negative Rating Outlook
reflects DISH's deteriorating operating profile and eroding
competitive position in an increasing competitive environment.
DISH reported a subscriber churn rate of 1.73%, marking a 14 basis
point year-over-year decline.  The second-quarter churn rate was
the first year-over-year decline since June of 2007.  In
comparison, DIRECTV Group, Inc.'s U.S. segment churn during the
second quarter was 22 basis points lower at 1.51%.  The higher
churn rate continues to be driven by a combination of economic,
competitive and operational factors, including piracy and fraud.
In Fitch's opinion, some of these factors, such as higher non-pay
disconnects and decreased customer satisfaction, appear to require
longer-term fixes, and churn may remain elevated for an extended
period of time, reflecting the company's relatively weak
competitive position.

Net additions during the second quarter were approximately 26,000,
marking the first quarter of positive net subscriber additions
since the 1Q'08.  While the second quarter subscriber additions
metrics were positive, net subscriber additions during 1H'09 were
negative.

During 1H'09, DISH generated approximately $780 million of free
cash flow (defined as cash flows from operating activities less
capital expenditures and dividends) reflecting a 4.2% decline
compared with the free cash flow generated during 1H'08.  An 11.7%
reduction in capital expenditures during 1H'09 (relative to 1H'08)
was more than offset by an EBITDA decline during 1H'09 of nearly
9%.  Fitch expects that DISH's weakened operating profile will
continue pressuring free cash flow generation during the balance
of 2009 and 2010.

Factors that could lead to a revision of the Rating Outlook to
Stable include a determination that DISH's liquidity position is
balanced with cash requirements, free cash flow expectations,
capital market access, further clarity surrounding potential cash
requirements related to the Tivo litigation and wireless network
strategy, and sustainable positive trends in operating results,
particularly subscriber churn.  Key considerations that could lead
to a downgrade of DISH's ratings include, but are not limited to,
DISH's inability to reverse the negative operating trends and
improve its competitive positioning, a sustained erosion of DISH's
free cash flow generation, and further deterioration of DISH's
liquidity profile.


DISH DBS: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Rating on $300 Mil. Bond Issue
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to the new
$300 million bond issuance of Dish DBS Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Dish Network Corporation (Ba3 Corporate Family
Rating).  The senior note offering ranks pari passu with existing
DDBS debt (all rated debt currently resides at DDBS).  Proceeds
are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.

Assigned:

Issuer: Dish DBS Corporation

* New senior notes -- Ba3 (LGD 4, 68%)

Dish currently maintains a significant degree of debt capacity
within its Ba3 rating and continues to benefit from its strong
liquidity profile with more than $1.2 billion of cash and
marketable securities (at June 30, 2009).  Additionally, Moody's
anticipates that the company will be able to adequately fund all
maturities over the intermediate-term with cash, marketable
securities and free cash flow.

Moody's believes that the proposed debt issuance will enhance the
company's liquidity, and effectively, help prefund future
maturities while taking advantage of the present attractive
interest rate environment.  However, should Dish begin to
aggressively incur debt and use proceeds for heavy share
repurchase activity, dividends or acquisitions that adversely
impact the company's credit metrics, or if there is an unexpected
significant increase in subscriber loss trends, downward pressure
on the ratings is possible.

The last rating action was on September 28, 2006, when Moody's
affirmed Dish's Ba3 CFR.

Dish's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors that Moody's
considers relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as
the company's (i) business risk and competitive position compared
with others within the industry; (iii) capital structure and
financial risk; (iii) projected performance over the near to
intermediate term; and (iv) management's track record and
tolerance for risk.  Moody's compared these attributes against
other issuers both within and outside Dish's core industry and
believes Dish's ratings are comparable to those of other issuers
with similar credit risk.

Dish Network Corporation is the third largest pay television
provider in the United States with 13.6 million subscribers as of
6/30/2009.


DOLL & DOLL: Can Continue to Meet Payroll Obligations
-----------------------------------------------------
Chuck Williams at Ledger-Enquirer.com reports that Bankruptcy
Judge John Laney has signed an order on Thursday allowing Rob Doll
Nissan to continue to meet payroll obligations for Doll & Doll

Williamson, presented a financial plan to the court that he claims
will keep Doll's Rob Doll Nissan afloat until an October 26
hearing.  According to Ledger-Enquirer.com, part of that plan
provides for the ongoing payment of worker salaries.

Ledger-Enquirer.com relates that Doll's Nissan location on Box
Road is faced with an October 6 foreclosure by Falcon Financial
LLC.

Doll & Doll Motor Company operates Rob Doll Nissan in Columbus.

$10 million in assets.


DOWNEY REGIONAL: Wants to Hire HNB Capital as Investment Banker
---------------------------------------------------------------
Downey Regional Medical Center-Hospital Inc. asks the U.S.

   a. review financial history of the Debtor;
   b. evaluation the potential financial structures;
   c. review the Debtor's business documents and operations;
   d. review the expected collection analysis and static pool
      analysis;
   e. review the financial projections and forecasts;
   f. search for potential lenders;
   g. provide information to potential lenders;
   h. discuss with potential lenders;

   j. participation in chosen lender negotiations.

The Debtor intends for HNB's services to complement, and not

retained in the Chapter 11 case.

HNB's fee structure consists of a monthly retainer of $35,000 for
the period from July 7, 2009, to the final approval and closing of

on the earlier of five business days after entry of the final
order approving the DIP Loan or 30 days after entry of the interim
order approving the DIP Loan, provided that a failure to obtain
entry of the final DIP order by that date is not due to a default
or breach of the DIP Loan agreements by HFG.

To the best of Debtor's knowledge, HNB is a "disinterested person"
as described in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

EASTMAN KODAK: Closes Placement of $400-Mil. Notes Due 2017
-----------------------------------------------------------
Eastman Kodak Company on September 23, 2009, closed its private
placement of $400 million aggregate principal amount of
Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 to qualified institutional
buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as amended.
The notes are unsecured obligations of Kodak and bear interest of
7.00% per year.

The Notes are convertible at any time prior to the business day
immediately preceding maturity.  Upon conversion, Kodak will
deliver, at its option, solely shares of its common stock or
solely cash.  The initial conversion rate is 134.9528 shares of
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is
equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $7.41
per share).  Kodak has the right to redeem the notes in whole or
in part at a specified redemption price at any time on or after
October 1, 2014 and before October 1, 2016 if certain conditions
are met, and on and after October 1, 2016 regardless of such
conditions.  Kodak may be required to repurchase some or all of
the notes by the holders thereof in the event of certain
fundamental changes at 100% principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the purchase date.

As disclosed on September 16, 2009, the convertible senior notes
offering was part of an overall $700 million financing
transaction.  The sale of $400 million in convertible senior notes
means that Kodak will sell $300 million in aggregate principal
amount of Senior Secured Notes Due 2017, to Kohlberg Kravis
Roberts & Co. L.P. managed investment vehicles.  As part of that
transaction, Kodak will issue to KKR warrants to purchase
40 million shares of Kodak common stock.

Kodak intends to use the net proceeds from these transactions to
repurchase its 3.375% Convertible Notes due 2033 through a tender
offer and for general corporate purposes, including the redemption
of 2033 Notes, which holders can require Kodak to purchase on
October 15, 2010, and are also redeemable by Kodak on or after
October 15, 2010.

Kodak on September 23 entered into an Indenture with The Bank of
New York Mellon, as trustee, relating to the issuance by the
Company of its convertible senior notes due 2017.

The Notes were sold to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Daiwa Securities
America Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and PNC Capital Markets
LLC, as initial purchasers, in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under to
Rule 144A promulgated thereunder.

Kodak'S balance sheet at June 30, 2009, showed total assets of
$7,106,000,000 and total liabilities of $7,215,000,000, resulting
in shareholders' deficit attributable to Kodak of $112,000,000.

The Troubled Company Reporter on September 22, 2009, said Fitch
Ratings affirmed Kodak's Issuer Default Rating at 'B-'; Senior
secured revolving credit facility at 'BB-/RR1'; and Senior
unsecured debt at 'B-/RR4'.

On Sept. 18, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
recovery rating on Eastman Kodak's senior unsecured debt to '6',
indicating S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in
the event of a payment default, from '5'.  S&P lowered the issue-
level rating to 'CCC' (two notches lower than the 'B-' corporate
credit rating on the company) from 'CCC+', in accordance with
S&P's notching criteria for a '6' recovery rating.


EMMIS OPERATING: Bank Debt Trades at 31.3% Off
----------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Emmis Operating
Company is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 68.70
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.20
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on Nov. 1, 2013.  The Company pays 200 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Caa2 rating while it is not rated by Standard &
Poor's.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week
ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans with five or more bids.

As stated by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 17, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Emmis Communications Corp. and Emmis Operating Co. to
'CCC+' from 'B'.  The rating outlook is negative.  At the same
time, S&P revised its recovery rating on Emmis Operating Co.'s
secured credit facilities due 2012 to '4', indicating S&P's
expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of a
payment default, from '2'.  S&P lowered the issue-level rating on
this debt to 'CCC+' (at the same level as the 'CCC+' corporate
credit rating on the company) from 'B+', in accordance with S&P's
notching criteria for a '4' recovery rating.

"The ratings downgrade reflects Emmis' very weak preliminary
fourth-quarter results, as well as uncertainty regarding the
ultimate outcome of the company's decision to hire Blackstone
Advisory Services L.P. to explore a potential amendment or
restructuring," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael
Altberg.

Emmis Operating Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emmis
Communications Corp., which owns and operates radio stations,
including abroad, and TV stations and which publishes books and

FAGAN RANCH: Files for Ch 11 Bankr. After Spat With Lender
----------------------------------------------------------
Fagan Ranch Investments, L.L.C., has filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona.

According to The Arizona Daily, the bankruptcy filing stopped a
trustee sale scheduled last week.

Josh Brodesky at The Arizona Daily Star reports that Fagan Ranch
received a $7.45 million loan in May 2005 from National Bank of
Arizona for the development of a community on 568 acres at the
southern end of Houghton Road.  Jim Campbell, the managing partner
in the project, said that plans for the development call for a mix
of residential and commercial projects as well as a school, park,
and resort.

The Arizona Daily says that Fagan Ranch Investments was current on
its interest-only payments to National Bank, but at the start of
2009 the bank called the loan, requiring two substantial principal
paydowns.  "National Bank had required that there be a very
significant principal paydown in the loan amount, and in this
economy the partnership felt it would be imprudent to take all of
their working capital and use it to reduce principal," the report
quoted Michael McGrath, Fagan Ranch's lawyer, as saying.  Mr.
McGrath said that he expects a settlement within six months.

Mr. Campbell, The Arizona Daily relates, said that he and his
brother have continued making interest payments since December
2008, though none of the other partners has contributed any funds.
The report quoted Mr. Campbell as saying, "All of our partners
defaulted in December.  We continued to make payments even though
we are just minority partners."

The Arizona Daily quoted Mr. Quinlan as saying, "If the bank is
going to take the property, then there would be no reason to
continue making the payments.  Had the bank simply said 'OK, we'll
continue to accept interest payments,' then I think all of the
investors would have continued making those payments."

According to The Arizona Daily, the bankruptcy filing can change
the terms with National Bank and sever the partnerships between
Mr. Campbell, Stephen Quinlan, and Stan and Eric Abrams.  Mr.
Quinlan owns 30% of Fagan Ranch, Mr. Campbell and his brother own
40%, and the Abramses own 20% of the Company.  The remaining 10%
is owned by Elliott Obedin.  The Arizona Daily states that Mr.
Campbell said he expects to reach a settlement with National Bank

FAIRPOINT COMM: Bank Debt Trades at 20% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which FairPoint
Communications, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market
at 80.11 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.53
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on March 31, 2015.  The Company pays 275 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard & Poor's CC rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25,
among the 149 loans with five or more bids.

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, FairPoint
Communications, Inc. -- http://www.fairpoint.com/-- owns and
operates local exchange companies in 18 states offering advanced
communications with a personal touch, including local and long
distance voice, data, Internet, television, and broadband
services.  FairPoint is traded on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol FRP.

As reported by Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 5, 2009, Standard
& Poor's Ratings Services said it reassigned a 'CC' corporate
credit rating, with a negative outlook to FairPoint, from the
previous 'SD'.  S&P also raised the rating to 'C' from 'D' on the
approximate $90 million of aggregate principal amount remaining on
the company's unsecured notes that did not participate in its
exchange offer.  The recovery rating on the notes is '6',
representing negligible (0%-10%) recovery prospects in the event
of a payment default.  S&P also removed the 'CC' secured bank loan
rating from CreditWatch, where it had been placed with negative
implications on June 25, 2009, following the company's announced
note exchange.  The loan has a '3' recovery rating, representing
meaningful (50%-80%) recovery prospects in the event of a payment
default.


FORD MOTOR: Bank Debt Trades at 10.25% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Ford Motor Co. is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 89.75 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to data
compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall Street
Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.67 percentage points from
the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
Dec. 15, 2013.  The Company pays 300 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's B1
rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+ rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans
with five or more bids.

Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) --
http://www.ford.com/-- manufactures or distributes automobiles in
200 markets across six continents.  With about 260,000 employees
and about 100 plants worldwide, the company's core and affiliated
automotive brands include Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln,
Mercury, Volvo, Aston Martin, and Mazda.  The Company provides
financial services through Ford Motor Credit Company.  The Company
has operations in Japan in the Asia Pacific region.  In Europe,
the Company maintains a presence in Sweden, and the United
Kingdom.  The Company also distributes its brands in various
Latin-American regions, including Argentina and Brazil.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 7, 2009,
Moody's upgraded the Corporate Family Rating of Ford Motor Company
to Caa1 from Caa3, and also raised the company's Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4.  The rating outlook was
changed to Stable from Negative.  Ford's Probability of Default
Rating remains at Caa3.  In a related action, Moody's placed the
Caa1 senior unsecured rating of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC on
review for possible upgrade.

The rating actions reflect Moody's belief that after a period of
intensive restructuring of its operations and balance sheet,
Ford's business viability has significantly improved.  The
positioning of the CFR rating at Caa1 balances the substantial
achievements the company has made in restructuring its operations
and rebuilding competitiveness against the expectation that even
with these improvements meaningful earnings and cash flow
generation will not be evident before 2011.  Moody's believes that
Ford has adequate liquidity to bridge itself until 2011 as
reflected in the upgrade of the SGL rating to SGL-3.
Notwithstanding the upgrade of the CFR rating, Ford's PDR is being
maintained at Caa3 due to the continuing potential that the
company might undertake further balance sheet restructuring
initiatives (such as an exchange offer or below-par tender for
outstanding obligations) that Moody's would view as a default for
rating purposes.


FREDDIE MAC: Appoints Ross Kari as EVP & CFO
--------------------------------------------
Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation) has appointed Ross J. Kari as the company's executive
vice president and chief financial officer, effective October 12,
2009.

Mr. Kari, 51, joins Freddie Mac from Fifth Third Bancorp, a
financial services firm, where he served as executive vice
president and chief financial officer beginning in November 2008.
Previously, Mr. Kari served as executive vice president and chief
financial officer of Safeco Corporation, an insurance firm, from
June 2006 to October 2008.  Prior to that, Mr. Kari served as
executive vice president and chief operating officer of Federal
Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, a government sponsored enterprise
and part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, from February 2002
to June 2006.

Freddie Mac has entered into a Memorandum Agreement with Mr. Kari,
which provides for his employment as executive vice president and
chief financial officer of Freddie Mac.

A full-text copy of the Memorandum Agreement is available at n o
charge at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?45a3

The Federal Housing Finance Agency, the company's conservator, has
approved the Memorandum Agreement and consulted with the U.S.
Department of the Treasury.

The terms of his Memorandum Agreement provide Mr. Kari with the
following during his employment with Freddie Mac:

     -- A base salary of no less than $675,000;

     -- A target annual total direct compensation opportunity of
        $3,500,000, which will consist of the base salary of
        $675,000, an additional annual salary of $1,658,333 paid
        over time in installments and an annual target incentive
        opportunity of $1,166,667.  The actual dollar amount of
        the incentive opportunity Mr. Kari will receive will be
        determined in the discretion of Freddie Mac, subject to
        approval by FHFA;

     -- A cash sign-on award of $1,950,000 in recognition of the
        forfeited annual incentive opportunity and unvested equity
        at his current employer.  This award will be paid in
        installments during Mr. Kari's first year of employment
        with Freddie Mac.  If Mr. Kari is not an employee of
        Freddie Mac on an installment payment date, the
        installment will be forfeited.  A portion of each
        installment will be subject to repayment in the event
        that, prior to the first anniversary of an installment
        payment date, Mr. Kari terminates his employment with
        Freddie Mac for any reason or Freddie Mac terminates his
        employment for cause;

     -- Relocation benefits generally consistent with Freddie
        Mac's standard executive relocation package, as well as
        six months temporary lodging at a local apartment (in lieu
        of Freddie Mac's standard temporary living relocation
        benefit), reimbursement for reasonable local commuting and
        necessary living expenses, and reimbursement for travel
        between the Washington, D.C. area and his current
        residences for Mr. Kari and his immediate family members
        for the first six months of his employment;

     -- The opportunity to participate in all employee benefit
        plans offered to Freddie Mac's senior executive officers,
        including the company's Supplemental Executive Retirement
        Plan, pursuant to the standard terms of these plans; and

     -- If Freddie Mac terminates Mr. Kari's employment for
        reasons other than cause, he will be eligible to receive
        severance pay and other benefits pursuant to the terms of
        any then-applicable Freddie Mac severance policy, subject
        to the approval of FHFA.

Mr. Kari is subject to restrictions with respect to non-
competition and non-solicitation of employees for a period of two
years and one year, respectively, following any termination of his
employment, and he is also subject to certain restrictions with
respect to confidential information obtained during the course of
his employment.

Freddie Mac also has entered into a Recapture Agreement with Mr.
Kari, sometimes referred to as a "clawback" agreement.  A full-
text copy of the Recapture Agreement is available at no charge at:

               http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?45a4

The Recapture Agreement provides for Freddie Mac's recapture from
Mr. Kari of Recapture Eligible Compensation (which, as defined in
the Recapture Agreement, varies depending on which Triggering
Event has occurred) if, at any time during Mr. Kari's employment
with Freddie Mac (or, under certain circumstances after
termination of his employment), the board of directors determines
and notifies Mr. Kari in writing that any Triggering Event (as
defined in the Recapture Agreement) has occurred.  The Recapture
Period also varies depending on which Triggering Event has
occurred. In the event that Mr. Kari is terminated for cause (as
defined in the Recapture Agreement), he forfeits rights to any
future payment of annual short-term incentive, long-term incentive
or severance benefits that might otherwise have been due pursuant
to the terms of applicable plans or awards from the date of Mr.
Kari's termination forward.  The board has discretion to determine
the appropriate amount required to be recaptured, if any, upon a
Triggering Event, which is intended to be the compensation in
excess of what Freddie Mac would have paid Mr. Kari had Freddie
Mac taken into consideration the impact of the Triggering Event at
the time such compensation was awarded.

Freddie Mac also agreed to enter into an indemnification agreement
with Mr. Kari.

                        About Freddie Mac

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) NYSE: FRE --
http://www.freddiemac.com/-- commonly known as Freddie Mac, is a
stockholder-owned government-sponsored enterprise authorized to
make loans and loan guarantees.  Freddie Mac was created in 1970
to provide a continuous and low cost source of credit to finance
America's housing.

Freddie Mac conducts its business primarily by buying mortgages
from lenders, packaging the mortgages into securities and selling
the securities -- guaranteed by Freddie Mac -- to investors.
Mortgage lenders use the proceeds from selling loans to Freddie
Mac to fund new mortgages, constantly replenishing the pool of
funds available for lending to homebuyers and apartment owners.

                         Conservatorship

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the U.S. government
took direct responsibility for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, placing
the government sponsored enterprises under conservatorship on
September 7, 2008.  James B. Lockhart, director of Federal Housing
Finance Agency, said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac share the
critical mission of providing stability and liquidity to the
housing market.  Between them, the Enterprises have $5.4 trillion
of guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and debt
outstanding, which is equal to the publicly held debt of the
United States.  Among the key components of the conservatorship,
the FHFA, as conservator, assumed the power of the Board and
management.


FORD MOTOR: CEO Sees Return to Profitability in 2011
----------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Co. President and CEO Alan Mulally said that he expects
to see the Company return to profitability in 2011, The Motor
Report says.

TMR relates that Ford expects its U.S. sales increase to
14.5 million units in 2011 from 10.5 million to 11 million units
this year, which will see the Company's balance sheet back in the
black.  Ford reported a $2.3 billion profit in the second quarter
2009, while U.S. sales increased 17% in August.

Kimberly S. Johnson at The Associated Press reports that the
United Auto Workers union president Ron Gettelfinger said that the
group continues to discuss additional contract modifications with
Ford, which is seeking to make minor contract changes to things
like work rules to make its latest modified contract on par with
General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Group LLC.

Ford is in a "unique position" due to decisions it made in recent
years to leverage assets, borrow $24 billion, hire a new CEO, and
design new and improved vehicles that are in showrooms today, or
expected in 2010, The AP says, citing Mr. Gettelfinger.  According
to the report, Mr. Gettelfinger said that he met with
administration officials a few weeks ago regarding the UAW's
support for health care reform and that he would soon meet with
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Lawrence Summers, director
of the White House National Economic Council.

Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) --

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 15, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its ratings on
Ford Motor Co. and related entities, including the corporate
credit rating, to 'CCC+' from 'SD-'.  The ratings on Ford Motor
Credit Co. are unchanged, at 'CCC+', and the ratings on FCE Bank
PLC, Ford Credit's European bank, are also unchanged, at 'B-',
maintaining the one-notch rating differential between FCE and its
parent Ford Credit.  S&P said that the outlook on all entities is
negative.

Moody's Investors Service in December 2008 lowered the Corporate
Family Rating and Probability of Default Rating of Ford Motor
Company to Caa3 from Caa1 and lowered the company's Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-4 from SGL-3.  The outlook is
negative.  The downgrade reflects the increased risk that Ford
will have to undertake some form of balance sheet restructuring in
order to achieve the same UAW concessions that General Motors and
Chrysler are likely to achieve as a result of the recently-
approved government bailout loans.  Such a balance sheet
restructuring would likely entail a loss for bond holders and
would be viewed by Moody's as a distressed exchange and
consequently treated as a default for analytic purposes.


FORTUNOFF HOLDINGS: Will Launch Six Outdoor Stores
--------------------------------------------------
Newsday.com reports that The Chair King has formed an alliance
with a member of the Fortunoff family and two former executives to
open six Fortunoff Backyard Stores on Long Island and New Jersey
on February 1, 2010.

According to Newsday.com, The Chair King President David Barish
said that the company bought a controlling interest in Furniture
Concepts Llc last week.  Furniture Concepts is a company formed by
the Fortunoff and Mayrock family members and which owns licensing
rights to the Fortunoff brand of outdoor furniture and seasonal
products in the U.S.

Newsday.com says that the terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

New York-based Fortunoff Fine Jewelry and Silverware LLC --
http://www.fortunoff.com/-- started out as a family-owned
business founded by Max and Clara Fortunoff in 1922, until it
merged with M. Fortunoff of Westbury, L.L.C., and Source Financing
Corporation in 2004.  Fortunoff offers customers fine jewelry and
watches, antique jewelry and silver, everything for the table,
fine gifts, home furnishings including bedroom and bath, fireplace
furnishings, housewares, and seasonal shops including outdoor
furniture shop in summer and enchanting Christmas Store in the
winter.

Fortunoff and its two affiliates filed for chapter 11 petition on
February 4, 2008 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 08-10353 through 08-
10355) to effectuate a sale to NRDC Equity Partners LLC --
http://www.nrdcequity.com/-- a private equity firm that bought
Lord & Taylor from Federated Department Stores.

In their schedules, Fortunoff Fine Jewelry listed $5,052,315 total
assets and $136,626,948 total liabilities; Source Financing Corp.
listed $154,680,100 total assets and $176,961,631 total
liabilities; and M. Fortunoff of Westbury LLC listed $6,300,955
total assets and $119,985,788 total liabilities.

Fortunoff sold substantially all of their assets, including their
"Fortunoff" and "The Source" trademarks, on March 7, 2008, to NRDC
Equity Partners LLC's H Acquisition LLC, now known as Fortunoff
Holdings LLC.

One year later, Fortunoff Holdings and its affiliate, Fortunoff
Card Company LLC, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Feb. 5, 2009
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 09-10497).  Lee Stein Attanasio,
Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP, represents the Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  The Debtors proposed Zolfo Cooper LLC as
their special financial advisor and The Garden City Group Inc. as
their claims agent.  When the Debtors filed for protection from
their creditors, they listed assets and debts between $100 million
to $500 million each.


FORUM HEALTH: To Continue to Explore Opportunities to Expand
------------------------------------------------------------
George Nelson at The Business Journal reports that a Forum Health
Inc. official said that the Company will continue to explore
opportunities to expand.

Expanding Forum Health's reach through centers like the Hubbard
Immediate care center is key to the Company's long-term plans, The
Business Journal relates, citing Michael Seelman, chief operating
officer at Forum's Northside Medical Center in Youngstown and
Forum Health Services.  According to The Business Journal, Forum
Health is evaluating how to move forward on expanding services,
with additional hours being considered at Austintown Immediate
Care in anticipation of the upcoming flu season.

The Business Journal quoted Mr. Seelman as saying, "As far as
progressing with satellites in the future, I think that's going to
be incremental.  It'll be a business-driven decision" based on the
success of Northside, Trumbull Memorial Hospital and Hillside
Rehabilitation Hospital.

The Business Journal relates that the development of additional
offices to serve as feeders for Forum Health's core hospitals was
a key element of the recovery strategy promoted by former Forum
Health CEO Walter Pishkur.

Based in Warren, Ohio, Forum Health -- http://www.forumhealth.org/
-- offers health care services.  The primary service area consists
of the northeast Ohio counties of Mahoning, Trumbull and
Columbiana; and northeast Ohio counties of Ashtabula, Geauga and
Portage and the Pennsylvania counties of Mercer and Lawrence.

Forum Health and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on
March 16, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Lead Case No. 09-40795).  Paul W.
Linehan, Esq., and Shawn M Riley, Esq., at McDonald Hopkins LLC,
serve as lead counsel to the Debtors.  The Debtors have also
tapped Michael A. Gallo, Esq. at Nadler Nadler & Burdman Co., LPA
as co- counsel; Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as claims,
noticing and balloting agent; and Huron Consulting Services LLC as
financial advisors.  Alston & Bird LLP represents the official
committee of unsecured creditors formed in the Chapter 11 cases.
At the time of its filing, Forum Health estimated that it had
assets and debts both ranging from $100 million to $500 million.


FREDDIE MAC: Files August 2009 Monthly Volume Summary
-----------------------------------------------------
Freddie Mac, formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage

Volume Summary.

G & S METAL: SRT Investments Sole Bidder for Assets
---------------------------------------------------
Paul Schaffer at AMM reports that G & S Metal Consultants Inc.'s
asset auction has drawn one bidder, SRT Investments LLC, owned by
Bruce Warshauer and Jerome Henry.  According to AMM, Mr. Warshauer
was G&S Metal's former chief.  AMM relates that the offer will
transfer G & S Metal's Wabash, Indiana, smelter to SRT
Investments.

Based in Wabash, Indiana, G & S Metal Consultants Inc. --
http://www.gsmetalinc.com/-- buys, processes, converts and sells
aluminum.  The Company and its affiliate, G & S Transport Inc.,
filed for Chapter 11 protection on June 24, 2009 (Bankr. N.D.
Ind. Lead Case No. 09-32979).  The Debtors posted both assets and
debts between $10 million and $50 million.


GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT: S&P Affirms 'B' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook for
Nashville, Tennessee-based Gaylord Entertainment Co. to stable
from negative.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'B' corporate
credit rating and all other ratings for Gaylord.

"The outlook revision to stable from negative reflects Gaylord's
improved liquidity position resulting from a number of actions
announced yesterday," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Liz
Fairbanks.

Gaylord raised approximately $125 million through a common share
issuance and issued a $300 million convertible note due 2014,
which may be upsized by an additional $60 million.  The company
will use the proceeds to tender for $260 million of existing 8%
unsecured notes due 2013, a warrant to mitigate shareholder
dilution relating to the convertible notes, fees related to the
transactions, repay outstanding revolver balances and for general
corporate purposes.  While S&P expects leverage to remain high
over the intermediate term, the capital actions improve S&P's
measure of coverage and Gaylord's liquidity position, improving
the company's prospects for managing through the difficult
operating environment.

Additionally, yesterday Gaylord reaffirmed its 2009 consolidated
cash flow guidance.  While S&P views the affirmation positively,
S&P continues to expect leverage to remain in the high 6x-area
over the intermediate term.  The 'B' rating and stable outlook
reflect S&P's expectation that that EBITDA (pro forma for a full
year of the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center) could
decline by up to 20% in 2009.  Pro forma EBITDA declined by about
25% in the first six months of 2009.  Given S&P's expectation for
EBITDA, S&P anticipates that its measure of adjusted interest
coverage will remain in the low 2x-area over the intermediate
term.  The outlook revision also reflects S&P's expectation that
Gaylord will maintain an adequate cushion relative to its 2x fixed
charge covenant (calculated differently than the interest coverage
measure S&P cited earlier).

The 'B' corporate credit rating on Gaylord reflects the company's
high debt leverage, limited asset diversity with a small hotel
portfolio, reliance on external sources of capital to fund growth,
and the cyclical nature of the lodging industry.  The company's
good-quality properties and its focused business strategy on
targeting group and convention customers, which, through attrition
fees, provides some cushion against revenue per available room
(RevPAR) declines and provides advance booking visibility,
somewhat temper these factors.


GEORGIA-PACIFIC LLC: Fitch Affirms 'B+' Issuer Default Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Georgia-Pacific LLC's ratings:

  -- Issuer Default Rating at 'B+';
  -- Senior secured revolver at 'BB/RR2';
  -- First lien term loans at 'BB'/RR2';
  -- Senior unsecured at 'B+/RR4'.

Fitch has revised the Rating Outlook to Positive.

The basis for the Outlook revision has been a better than
anticipated earnings performance in all of GP's business lines
other than Building Products.  Together with the alternate fuel
tax credit and controlled operating and capital expenses, GP has
been able to reduce its net debt by just over $1.6 billion since
the start of the year.  The alternate fuel tax credit accounted
for 19% of this reduction.  Earnings before taxes, interest and
depreciation is 25% ahead of Fitch's early year projections.

Accounting for better operating earnings has been GP's domestic
and international tissue operations, which have benefited from
higher prices, lower distribution and advertising costs and
predicted lower fiber and energy costs with modestly better
volumes.  Packaging operations have stabilized while Building
Products continues to suffer from the malaise in housing, which
has depressed both the prices for and the volumes of plywood,
oriented strand board and lumber.

Fitch expects some slowing in the run rate of earnings in the
second half of the year, largely due to increased fiber costs
offsetting the benefits of lower energy prices.  This will likely
have a more pronounced impact in Packaging (affecting both virgin
and recycled fiber feedstock costs) than tissue operations but
should benefit GP's pulp business.  Building Products is not
expected to turn the corner this year, but its influence on
consolidated earnings and cash flow is small.  In combination and
with the continuation of the alternate fuel tax credit, which is
set to expire at the end of this year, Fitch expects that GP
should be able to reduce net debt by an additional $700 million or
so.  This would bring leverage metrics down to an estimated 3.4
times (x) net debt/EBITDA from 4.7x at the start of the year.

GP has also improved the maturity profile and mix of its debt
portfolio.  The proceeds of a $750 million senior unsecured seven-
year bond sold last April (priced to yield 9%) were used this past
July to prepay earlier maturing secured bank debt.  GP also
extended the repayment date of $1 billion of the secured bank debt
out to 2014 from 2012.  Roughly $6.2 billion of secured debt
(excluding accounts receivable securitizations) and letters of
credit now stand ahead of $6 billion of unsecured debt.
Maturities are reasonable with approximately $1 billion due
through the end of 2010 and slightly over $5 billion due in 2011
and 2012.  Liquidity is amply provided by a committed
$1.675 billion secured revolver, which is mostly available, and a
receivables securitization facility that had $743 million of
availability as of June 30, 2009.

GP was taken private in 2005 by Koch Industries, Inc., in a
transaction valued at just over $21 billion.


GEORGETOWN GOLF CLUB: Awaits Foreclosure Auction by Sovereign Bank
------------------------------------------------------------------
Angeljean Chiaramida at The Eagle-Tribune reports that Georgetown
Golf Club's owner and president, Peter Wojtkun, said that the
Company will likely go to foreclosure auction in the next 45 to 60
days.

Sovereign Bank representatives were expected to secure the
property and prepare it for foreclosure auction, The Eagle-Tribune
states, citing Mr. Wojtkun.  According to the report, Mr. Wojtkun
said that he advised Sovereign Bank to move to sell it as soon as
possible.

As reported by the TCR on September 25, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge William Hillman dismissed the Georgetown Golf's bankruptcy
case.

Citing Mr. Wojtkun, The Eagle-Tribune relates that Georgetown Golf
is no longer at its tax assessed value of $6.6 million, due to the
recession and real estate market crash.  The Eagle-Tribune says
that Mr. Wojtkun doesn't expect the selling price to bring in the
more than $10 million it owes creditors, or even the $6.6 million
it owes its two largest mortgage holders, leaving many others
holding notes or bills that won't be paid.

Mr. Wojtkun said that the roughly $150,000 in Georgetown Golf's
bank accounts that Judge Hillman allowed him to use to pay off
workers and tie up loose ends is now gone and the club is closed,
The Eagle-Tribune states.

Georgetown, Massachusetts-based Georgetown Golf Club, Inc., and
its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
September 11, 2009 (Bankr. D. Mass. Case No. 09-18710).  Kara
Zaleskas, Esq., and Paul D. Moore, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP and
assist Georgetown Golf Club in its restructuring efforts.
Georgetown Golf Club listed $1,000,001 to $10,000,000 in assets
and $10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in liabilities.


GEORGIAN BANK, ATLANTA: Closed; First Citizens Assumes Deposits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Georgian Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, was closed September 25 by the
Georgia Department of Banking and Finance, which appointed the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.  To protect the
depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Inc.,
Columbia, South Carolina, to assume all of the deposits of
Georgian Bank.

The five branches of Georgian Bank will reopen on Monday as
branches of First Citizens Bank.  Depositors of Georgian Bank will
automatically become depositors of First Citizens Bank.  Deposits
will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for
customers to change their banking relationship to retain their
deposit insurance coverage.  Customers should continue to use
their existing branches until First Citizens Bank can fully
integrate the deposit records of Georgian Bank.

As of July 24, 2009, Georgian Bank had total assets of $2 billion
and total deposits of approximately $2 billion.  In addition to
assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, First Citizens
Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and First Citizens Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction on approximately $2 billion of Georgian Bank's assets.
First Citizens Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools
covered under the loss-share 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 customers.  For more
information on loss share, please visit:
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-405-1498.  Interested parties can also
visit the FDIC's Web site at
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/georgian.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $892 million.  First Citizens Bank's acquisition of
all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's
DIF compared to alternatives.  Georgian Bank is the 95th FDIC-
insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the
nineteenth in Georgia.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed
in the state was First Coweta, Newnan, on August 21, 2009.


GEORGIAN BANK, ATLANTA: Closing Raises 2009 Failures List to 95
---------------------------------------------------------------
This year's closed banks have risen to 95 after Georgian Bank,
Atlanta, Georgia, was closed September 25 by the Georgia
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 First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Inc.,
Columbia, South Carolina, to assume all of the deposits of
Georgian Bank.

In accordance with Federal law, allowed claims against failed
financial institutions will be paid, after administrative
expenses, in this order of priority:

       1. Depositors
       2. General Unsecured Creditors
       3. Subordinated Debt
       4. Stockholders

                     416 Banks on Problem List

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said August 27 that the
number of banks and savings institutions in its "Problem List"
increased to 416 at the end of the second quarter compared with
305 at March 31.

The 416 banks have combined assets of $299.8 billion.  The FDIC
said this is the largest number of "problem" institutions since
June 30, 1994, and the largest amount of assets on the list since
December 31, 1993.

At the end of the 2008, there were 252 banks on the Problem List.

"Problem" institutions are those institutions with financial,
operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their
continued financial viability.  They are rated by the FDIC or
Office of the Thrift Supervision as either a "4" or "5", based on
a scale of 1 to 5 in ascending order of supervisory concern.
The Problem List is not divulged to the public.  No advance notice
is given to the public when a financial institution is closed.

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) decreased by $2.6 billion --
20.3% -- during the second quarter to $10.4 billion, based on
unaudited figures.

According to the FDIC, the reduction in the DIF was primarily due
to an $11.6 billion increase in loss provisions for bank failures.
Twenty-four insured institutions with combined assets of
$26.4 billion failed during the second quarter of 2009, the
largest number of quarterly failures since the fourth quarter of
1992, when 42 insured institutions failed.  For 2009 through the
end of the second quarter, 45 insured institutions with combined
assets of $35.9 billion failed at an estimated current cost to the
DIF of $10.5 billion.

           FDIC Seeking TARP Aid for Community Banks

Alison Vekshin at Bloomberg reported Sept. 25 that the FDIC is
asking the Treasury Department to match capital raised by
community banks to help lenders that don't qualify for aid,
reversing a policy that denied assistance to weak institutions.
The FDIC has suggested helping the banks with money from
the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, Chairman Sheila
Bair said.

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank has
also urged Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to extend TARP
funds to community banks, Frank's spokesman said Sept. 25,
according to Bloomberg.

HARTMARX CORP: Two Buyers Block Western in Licensing Spat
---------------------------------------------------------
Emerisque Brands UK Ltd. and SKNL North America BV that bought
bankrupt suit maker Hartmarx Corp.'s assets for $85 million filed
motions in opposition to creditor Western Glove Works of forum
shopping in a dispute over a trademark licensing agreement that
Western says was improperly assumed by the buyers as part of the
sale, according to Law360.

Based in Chicago, Illinois, Hartmarx Corporation --
http://www.hartmarx.com/-- produces and markets business, casual
and golf apparel under its own brands, including Hart Schaffner
Marx, Hickey-Freeman, Palm Beach, Coppley, Monarchy, Manchester

range of distribution channels includes fine specialty and leading
department stores, value-oriented retailers and direct mail

HERBST GAMING: Sponsor Tries to Block Emergence From Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Steve Green at Las Vegas Sun reports that Clarke County
Development Corp., the nonprofit sponsor of Herbst Gaming Inc.'s
casino license in Iowa, has filed an objection against the
Company's plan to emerge from bankruptcy.

According to Las Vegas Sun, CCDC said that it hasn't consented to
a deal in which lenders will obtain control of Herbst Gaming.
CCDC said in court documents that Herbst Gaming can't unilaterally
transfer the gaming license for its Osceola, Iowa casino to the
new corporate entity that would emerge from the Nevada bankruptcy
proceedings.  CCDC said that the Iowa law requires it to maintain
its license as a sponsoring organization and allows it to enter
into a management agreement for the casino boat, Las Vegas Sun
states.

Las Vegas Sun relates that the management agreement that Herbst
Gaming obtained in September 2004 with CCDC's consent requires the
Company to pay to CCDC 1.5% of monthly adjusted gross gaming
revenue.  CCDC said in court documents that Herbst Gaming
"proposes to unilaterally assume the management agreement and
assign it to Reorganized Herbst Gaming.  The assignee is a
separate and distinct entity from the debtor.  The assignee will
have different owners (senior creditors), and will be an entirely
different entity than the debtor.  However, the debtor did not
seek CCDC's consent to the assumption and assignment of the
management agreement to the assignee prior to the filing of the
(reorganization) plan and since then has rebuffed CCDC's efforts
to reach mutually agreeable terms effectuating a mutual assumption
and assignment of the management agreement.  The management
agreement may not be assigned without CCDC's consent.  Clearly,
the debtor is attempting to side-step its obligation under the
Bankruptcy Code to obtain CCDC's consent by simply, but
inappropriately, providing in its plan for the assignment of the
management agreement even though it has not received CCDC's
consent.  The court should not countenance the debtor's conduct."

According to Las Vegas Sun, CCDC said that under Iowa law, "the
licensing of the operator for a gambling boat requires extensive
investigation into the background of the individual owners or
directors of the operating entity."

CCDC President Helen Kimes said in court documents that she had
been told by Herbst Gaming's counsel that the Debtor didn't agree
with the corporation's position that its consent was required for
assignment of the management agreement.

Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Herbst Gaming Inc. --
http://www.herbstgaming.com/-- is a diversified gaming company.
The Company and its subsidaries focuses on two business lines,
slot route operations and casino operations.

The slot route business involves the exclusive installation and
operation of slot machines in non-casino locations, such as
grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, bars and
restaurants throughout Nevada.  As of March 31, 2009, the slot
route Debtors operated approximately 6,900 slot machines machines
through Nevada.

HERTZ CORP: Bank Debt Trades at 5.21% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Hertz Corporation
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 94.79 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to data
compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall Street
Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.82 percentage points from
the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
Dec. 21, 2012.  The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's Ba1
rating and S&P's BB- rating.  The debt is one of the biggest
gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans
with five or more bids.

The Hertz Corporation, a subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE: HTZ), based in Park Ridge, New Jersey, is the world's
largest general use car rental brand, operating from approximately
8,000 locations in 147 countries worldwide.  Hertz also operates
one of the world's largest equipment rental businesses, Hertz
Equipment Rental Corporation, through more than 375 branches in
the United States, Canada, France, Spain and China.

In July, Fitch Ratings downgraded Hertz Corporation's Issuer
Default Rating to 'BB-' from 'BB', and Moody's Investors Service
lowered Hertz's Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default
to 'B1' from 'Ba3'.


HERTZ CORP: Inclusion in Near Bankrupt List Baseless & Misguided
----------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Weisenthal at The Business Insider reports that Hertz Corp.
has opposed an Audit Integrity report that claims that the Company
could go bankrupt or suffer severe financial distress.

According to The Business Insider, Hertz believes its inclusion in
the Audit Integrity report is baseless and misguided, as the
authors ignore quantitative and qualitative data commonly relied
upon by financial analysts, lenders and rating agencies and
provides an unfounded conclusion that the Company is a bankruptcy
risk.

The Business Insider states that Hertz's solid financial
performance contradicts the findings.  According to the report,
solid financial performance includes, among others, the
refinancing of $2.1 billion in asset-backed fleet debt a year
ahead of schedule, and Moody's Investors Service's  Aa1 credit
rating for these notes, as well as the advance  by a consortium of
major banks.  Hertz also raised $544 million of net proceeds in an
equity offering, with $200 million of the proceeds coming from two
of the Company's private equity sponsors, the report says.

HIGHLANDS ACQUISITION: To Dissolve Business Effective Oct. 3
------------------------------------------------------------
Highlands Acquisition Corp., said Sept. 25 that its existence will
terminate on October 3, 2009 and that the Company's board of
directors has approved a plan of liquidation.  As of the close of
business on October 2, 2009, the Company's share transfer books
will close and the NYSE Amex will suspend trading.

The Company is a "blank check" company formed for the purpose of
acquiring, through a merger, stock purchase, asset acquisition or
other similar business combination, one or more operating
businesses.  Since the Company will not consummate a business
combination by October 3, 2009, the time frame required by its
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the terms of
its initial public offering, the Company's existence will
terminate and the Company has adopted a plan of liquidation in
accordance with its amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and applicable Delaware law.

The Company expects to distribute the amounts held in its trust
account, which consist of proceeds from the Company's initial
public offering, together with the deferred portion of the
underwriters' discount and commission and unexpended interest (net
of applicable taxes and reserves for contingent liabilities).
Liquidating distributions will be made to holders of shares of the
Company's common stock issued in the Company's initial public
offering payable upon presentation of certificates evidencing
shares in the Company.

Stockholders whose stock is held in "street name" through a broker
will automatically receive payment through the Depository Trust
Company.  The liquidating distribution is expected to be
approximately $9.85 per share.  In addition, if and when received
by the Company, stockholders will receive their proportionate
share of any federal tax refund claimed by the Company in the
Company's 2009 federal income tax return.  No payments will be
made with respect to any of the Company's outstanding warrants or
shares of common stock that were issued prior to the Company's
initial public offering.

The Company will deregister its securities under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and delist its shares on the
NYSE Amex.  As a result, the Company will no longer be a public
reporting company and its securities will cease trading on the
NYSE Amex as of the close of business on October 2, 2009.

------------------------------------------------------------------
HUGHES Telematics, Inc. posted a net loss of $19,644,000 for three

For six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company posted a net loss
of $100,317,000 compared with a net loss of $24,251,000 for the
same period in 2008.

of $156,870,000, total liabilities of $112,507,000 and a
stockholders' equity of $44,363,000.

The Company said that there is substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.  The Company noted that for the
six months ended June 30, 2009, the years ended Dec. 31, 2008, and
2007, and for the period from Jan. 9, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2006, it
incurred net losses and used cash in operations in connection with
the development of its factory-installed hardware devices and
telematics system and the operations of its Networkfleet
subsidiary.

The Company expects its net losses and negative cash flow to
continue for the foreseeable future, as it completes the
development of its telematics system, make further expenditures
under its various contracts and begin to incur marketing costs
associated with the launch of service in automotive manufacturer
vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2009.

IMH SECURED: Earnings Slides to $14MM in Six Months Ended June 30
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC, reported a net earnings of $14,217,000
for six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with a net earning of
$32,923,000 for the same period in 2008.

For three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company net earnings of
$3,140,000 compared with a net earning of $16,689,000 for the same
period in 2008.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2009, showed total assets
of $418,654,000, total liabilities of $8,092,000 and a members'
equity of $410,562,000.

The Company said that there is substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.  The Company noted that as of
June 30, 2009, the Fund's accumulated deficit aggregated $319,821
as a direct result of the recording a valuation provision relating
to the Fund's loan portfolio and real estate owned assets during
2008.

The Company's business model relies on market capital availability
to refinance the short-term bridge loans it provides to facilitate
real estate entitlement and development.  However, the erosion of
the U.S. and global credit markets during 2008, including a
significant and rapid deterioration of the mortgage lending and
related real estate markets, has virtually eliminated traditional
sources of take-out financing.  As a result, the Fund has
experienced increased default and foreclosure rates on its
mortgage loans.  In addition, the manager found it necessary to
modify certain loans, which have resulted in an extended maturity
of two years or longer, and may need to modify additional loans in
an effort to, among other things, protect the Fund's collateral.

Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Fund
suspended distributions to members.  The election was made in
order to preserve the Fund's capital and to stabilize the Fund's
operations and liquid assets in order to meet future obligations,
including those pursuant to current loan commitments.  The freeze
was precipitated by increased default and foreclosure rates and a
reduction in new Member investment, compounded by a significant
number of redemption requests submitted during the latter part of
the third quarter of 2008, the payment of which would have
rendered the Fund without the sufficient capital necessary to fund
outstanding lending commitments.

INDALEX HOLDINGS: Case Conversion Hearing Set for October 13
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware sets
Oct. 13, 2009, at 10:00 a.m., to consider the request to convert
the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases of Indalex Holdings Inc. and its
debtor-affiliates to Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings filed by
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Objections, if
any, are due Oct. 5, 2009, by 4:00 p.m.

The Committee relates that the Debtors, which are non-operating
entities and insider Sun Capital Partners Inc. have postured
these cases to eliminate any remainig chance of another creditor -
- other than Sun Capital -- receiving a distribution from
these Chapter 11 cases.  While there are Chapter 11 cases that
primarily benefit only secured creditors, in the present matter
the purported secured creditor, Sun, is an insider that has
received in excess of $80 million in potentially avoidable
transactions and now seeks, among other things, waivers of those
very actions in exchange for these cases continuing another few
months, which continued period will result in a projected net
loss to the bankruptcy estates of $761,000.  According to the
Committee, potential value can be dervied for the benefit of
creditors in these cases but only if the Court immediately
converts these
cases to Chapter 7.

Sun Capital, through an affiliates, bought all of the outstanding
capital stock of the Debtor Indalex Inc. and Canadian non-Debtor
Indalex Limited from Honeywell International Inc. in a highly
leveraged transaction on Feb. 2, 2006, it infused Sun Capital
personnel throughout the Indalex organization and made certain
that it maintained control going forward, said Michael J.
Roeschenthaler, Esq., at McGuirewoods LLP in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.

IRIDIUM SATELLITE: To Go Public on September 29
-----------------------------------------------
Patrick O'Grady at Phoenix Business Journal reports that Iridium
Satellite LLC will go public on September 29 through a merger with
publicly traded GHL Acquisition Corp.  According to Business
Journal, GHL shareholders already approved the deal.  Business
Journal notes that the merger would add more than $200 million in
capital to Iridium Satellite's coffers, which will allow the
Company to pay down debt and develop its new constellation of
satellites for launch in 2014.  Iridium Satellite issued an
additional 16 million shares at the $10 price, netting it at least
$160 million, says the report.  The report states that Iridium
Satellite, once merged with GHL, will be called Iridium
Communications Inc. and will be traded on the Nasdaq under the
symbol IRDM.

Iridium Operating LLC used to develop and deploy global wireless
personal communication systems.   Iridium was a spinoff from

its subsidiary Capital Corp.  At that time, the Debtors were
highly leveraged with $3.9 billion in secured and unsecured debt.
On the

ISP CHEMCO: Bank Debt Trades at 6.25% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which ISP Chemco, LLC,
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.75 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to data
compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall Street
Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.58 percentage points from
the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
May 23, 2014.  The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's Ba3
rating and Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans
with five or more bids.

ISP Chemco, LLC, headquartered in Wayne, New Jersey, manufactures
specialty chemicals and industrial chemicals and is part of a
group of companies which is a beneficially owned by Samuel Heyman.
Revenues for the twelve months ending April 5, 2009, were
$1.3 billion.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 6, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service revised the ratings outlook to stable
from negative and affirmed the Ba3 ratings on the guaranteed
senior secured credit facilities of ISP Chemco LLC (Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating), a wholly owned subsidiary of International
Specialty Holdings LLC.  The change in outlook to stable signals
that even after significant dividends and the effects of the
global downturn Chemco's credit metrics have remained relatively
stable.

The Ba3 ratings reflect the relatively heavy debt burden at Chemco
that has resulted in weak credit metrics along with the historic
dividends going up to the parent.  Moody's concern over such event
risk from Chemco's controlling member has served to keep Chemco's
ratings at the lower end of the Ba category.  A further concern is
the lack of SEC financials, which has limited the level of
disclosure provided.  Chemco's financial statements, while
audited, (with an unqualified opinion from Ernst & Young), provide
less detail than Moody's receive from other issuers with public
filings.

JOHN STOKES: KGEZ Radio Station Shut Down
-----------------------------------------
Montana News Station reports that the Flathead County law
enforcement has shut down John Stokes KGEZ radio station.
Flathead County Sheriff Mike Meehan said that the bankruptcy court
requested the sheriff's department presence while they closed the
station, Montana News relates.

As reported by the TCR on September 24, 2009, the Hon. Ralph
B. Kirscher at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of

JON COURRIER ZIMMER: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jon Courrier Zimmer and Judy Max Zimmer has filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Arkansas.

Susannah Patton at ArkansasBusiness.com reports that the Zimmers
listed 20 creditors with unsecured debts, the largest of which is
a $95,000 debt to Bath Junkie Branson.  Bath Junkie, according to
the report, filed a complaint against the Debtors in 2004,
claiming the Zimmers devised a scheme to defraud them and other
potential buyers of franchises by misrepresenting projected
profits.  The Zimmers were ordered on August 1, 2007, to pay Bath
Junkie $95,000, but when the Debtors failed to pay any portion of
the judgment, writs of garnishment were issued on September 9 and
September 11 to Arvest Bank, Metropolitan National Bank, and the
Bank of Fayetteville, says ArkansasBusiness.com.  The report
states that the banks must freeze the Zimmers' accounts until
directed by the court to release the funds to satisfy the
judgment.

According to ArkansasBusiness.com, the Zimmers sought on
September 23 to extend the automatic stay granted by the
bankruptcy petition, claiming that proceeding with any state or
federal litigation will:

     -- adversely affect the property of the bankruptcy estate,

     -- hinder their ability to develop a viable plan of
        reorganization,

     -- interfere with their emergence from bankruptcy, and

     -- drain the estate's assets to the detriment of other
        creditors.

Jon Courier and Judy Max Zimmer live in Fayetteville, Arizona.
They own Bath Junkie Inc.

KANSAS PUBLIC: Not Bankrupt, Says State Treasurer
-------------------------------------------------
Roger Cornish at kwch.com reports that Kansas State Treasurer
Dennis McKinney said that Kansas Public Employees Retirement
System isn't bankrupt.

As reported by the TCR on September 25, 2009, KPERS is bankrupt
under current operating assumptions, University of Kansas' Center
for Applied Economics said in its report.  KPERS, according to
University of Kansas' Center, is experiencing a funding crisis.
The recent collapse of financial markets has resulted in a
significant decrease in the value of the KPERS portfolio.  The
problems in the pension plan have emerged over several decades,
and are symptomatic of the poor incentive structure guiding the
governance of many defined-benefit public pension plans.  The
financial market turmoil has exacerbated these problems, but KPERS
is facing a long-run deterioration in its funding status.

kwch.com quoted Mr. McKinney as saying, "Currently there is over
$11 billion in assets being held by KPERS.  However, it is clear
to see that a problem lies ahead in the extended future.  This
situation exists primarily because the state has not contributed
at actuarially required levels for the past 15 years.  The sooner
that we act on this problem the easier it will be to navigate a
solution.  Retirees and those close to retiring are the safest in
the system as it stands right now.  But as I discuss the issue
with current employees it is clear to me that workers are willing
to do their part to make the system work better for everyone.
However, the first burden is on the state to meet its obligations.
Using the term bankrupt to describe KPERS is reckless and
needlessly scares our teachers, corrections officers, and other
state employees that have dedicated their lives to helping other
Kansans.  These people work hard each day and do not deserve to
live in fear of not having the ability to retire.  This problem is
manageable.  Now is the time to get our heads together to come up
with solutions.  The sooner that we act the easier it is going to
be to get us on the right track."

The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) was
established in 1961 for State of Kansas public employees to
provide a defined benefit pension plan.  KPERS membership is
mandatory for employees in eligible positions regardless of age.

KIRK CORP: To Return Money to Homebuyers
----------------------------------------
Anna Marie Kukec at the Daily Herald reports that Kirk Homes John
Carroll promised to refund homebuyers, continue to close on ready
homes, and keep the Company operating.  Those who have put down
earnest money, often ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, could expect
their money back in full, Daily Herald relates, citing Mr.
Carroll.  The report quoted him as syaing, "We have segregated out
that money into a separate account.  Those who put down deposits
will be fully refunded."  Mr. Carroll didn't reveal how much is in
that account, but he wants to reassure homebuyers that they won't
have to depend on the smaller amount stipulated in laws, according
to the report.

Kirk Homes, an industry leader in sustainable development
initiatives and preservation of open space, is currently building
communities in Bolingbrook, Hoffman Estates, Lakemoor, and
Woodstock.  Kirk Corporation is based in Streamwood, Illinois.

Kirk voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Northern District of Illinois.


KL ENERGY: June 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $2.2 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
KL Energy Corporation's balance sheet at June 30, 2009, showed
total assets of $5,587,928 and total liabilities of $7,818,248,
resulting in a stockholders' deficit of $2,230,320.

For three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company posted a net
loss of $880,661 compared with a net loss of $738,340 for the same
period in 2008.

For six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company posted a net loss
of $3,918,538 compared with a net loss $2,099,714 for the same
period in 2008.

The Company said that there is substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.  The Company noted that at
June 30, 2009, total liabilities exceeded total assets by
$2,200,000, thus, the Company may be unable to meet its current
obligations. The grain based ethanol industry, the industry in
which the Company has historically operated, has also begun to
face new challenges including the rising cost of raw materials,
increased construction costs, and a reduction in public and
governmental support.  Engineering and construction management
represents a substantial amount of the Company's business and the
grain based ethanol industry challenges may be an impediment to
new grain based ethanol construction.  Furthermore, the Company
used cash flows generated by management contracts to fund the
construction of a demonstration cellulose based ethanol plant
which is considered to be the Company's future within the ethanol
industry.  Certain contractual payments that have been paid to the
engineering and construction management business may have to be
returned to two customers.  Furthermore, there is a risk that the
product produced at the demonstration cellulose based ethanol
plant may not be immediately commercially viable, or the Company
may not be able to produce sufficient saleable ethanol at this
facility to cover the costs of plant operations or to repay its
loans from outside debtors and affiliated companies.

A full-text copy of the Company's Form 10-Q is available for free
at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?4589

KL Energy Corporation (OTC:KLEG) is focused on designing cellulose
based ethanol facilities for, and licensing its CBE technology to,
third-party participants in the CBE industry.  The Company also
focuses to own and operate CBE facilities, which utilize its
technology.

LAS VEGAS SANDS: Bank Debt Trades at 16.49% Off
-----------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Las Vegas Sands
Corp. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 83.51 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.69 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
May 1, 2014.  The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's B3
rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans
with five or more bids.

Meanwhile, participations in a syndicated loan under which
Venetian Macau US Finance Co., LLC, is a borrower traded in the
secondary market at 95.36 cents-on-the-dollar during the week
ended Sept. 25, 2009, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing
Corp. and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 0.67 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The loan matures on May 25, 2013.  The Company
pays 550 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank debt carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B-
rating.  The debt is also one of the biggest gainers and losers
among widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the
week ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans with five or more bids.

Venetian Macau US Finance Co., LLC, is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Las Vegas Sands.  VML owns the Sands Macau in the People's
Republic of China Special Administrative Region of Macau and is
also developing additional casino hotel resort properties in
Macau.

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) --
http://www.lasvegassands.com/-- owns and operates The Venetian
Resort Hotel Casino, The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino, and an expo
and convention center.  The company also owns and operates the
Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macao, China.


As reported by the TCR on Aug. 4, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
has placed Las Vegas Sands, Corp.'s ratings, including its B3
Corporate Family Rating, on review for possible downgrade.  The
review for possible downgrade reflects LVSC's weak fiscal 2009
second quarter operating results and Moody's heightened concern
regarding the company's ability to maintain an adequate liquidity
profile, reduce leverage, and remain in compliance with its
financial covenants.


LAUREATE EDUCATION: Loan Upsizing Won't Affect S&P's 'B' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on
Laureate Education Inc. (B/Negative/--) remain unchanged following
the company's upsizing of its term loan A to $280 million from
$200 million.  The issue-level rating on the loan remains at 'B'
(at the same level as the corporate credit rating on the company)
and the recovery rating remains at '4', indicating S&P's
expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default.

Proceeds are expected to be used to repay borrowings under its
revolving credit facility (which totaled $160 million as of
June 30, 2009) and add to cash balances.  The upsizing results in
an increase in pro forma lease-adjusted gross debt to EBITDA at
8.5x for the 12 months ended June 30, 2009, from an actual level
of 8.2x.

S&P expects that an undrawn $400 million revolving credit facility
and pro forma cash balances of $256.5 million will be used to fund
acquisitions.

The outlook remains negative reflecting Standard & Poor's
expectation that the company's financial risk will remain high as
a result of its aggressive expansion plan.  S&P could lower the
rating if negative discretionary cash flow exceeds $75 million in
full-year 2009, if S&P becomes convinced that discretionary cash
flow will not approach breakeven in 2010, if profitability erodes
further, and if lease-adjusted interest coverage drops below
1.25x.

the failed investment bank before the Sept. 22 deadline.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: KDB, et al., Object to Rule 2004 Subpoena
----------------------------------------------------------
In separate filings, Korea Development Bank; Tishman Speyer Real
Estate Venture VII, L.P.; and Perella Weinberg Partners LP object
to the requests for documents contained in the subpoena, dated
July 28, 2009, for examination under Rule 2004 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, which subpoena was purportedly
served by counsel for Anton Valukas, in his capacity as examiner
for Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., and it debtor affiliates.

KDB objects to the Subpoena to the extent it seeks information or
documents that were prepared in anticipation of or in connection
with litigation, constitute work product, constitute or contain
attorney-client communications, or are otherwise protected
against disclosure pursuant to the attorney-client privilege.
KDB also objects to the Subpoena to the extent it seeks to impose
on KDB duties or obligations beyond those required by the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, or any other applicable law or rules.

Tishman Speyer complains that the Requests called for documents
in eight overly broad categories, which are without any practical
limitations or qualifications whatsoever.  Read literally, the
Requests would thus have called for production of a volume of
documents in millions of pages, Tishman Speyer tells the Court.

PWP objects to specific points in the Requests but tells the
Court that it is in the process of collecting and reviewing for
production documents responsive to the Requests.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Stipulation Permitting HSBC to Effect Setoff
-------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to Sept. 15, 2008, HSBC Bank Plc and Lehman Brothers
Holdings, Inc., entered into an agreement, known as a "deed,"
which provides that funds held by HSBC in three accounts in the
name of LBHI may be used to secure "debts," as defined in the
deed, including potential overdrafts or debit balances that LBHI,
Lehman Brothers International (Europe), or Lehman Brothers
Limited may owe to HSBC arising from the normal operations of
their customer accounts.

The Collateral Accounts include: (i) account number 67850204 (the
"Euro Collateral Account"), (ii) account number 67850086 (the
"USD Collateral Account") and (iii) account number 67850196 (the
"GBP Collateral Account").   As of April 28, 2009, the balance in
the Euro Collateral Account was EUR343,446,459.  The USD and GBP
Collateral Accounts both have zero balances.

As of April 23, 2009, one of the Customer Accounts in the name of
LBHI, account number 57401113 (the "LBHI Customer Account"), was
overdrawn in the amount of GBP99,992,714 plus accrued interest in
the amount of GBP69,347.

LBHI and HSBC agree that on October 31, 2008, Royal Bank of
Scotland caused a misdirected payment in the approximate amount
of GBP605,000 to be deposited in the LBHI Customer Account, and
that, pursuant to Section 553(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and
subject to Sections 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, HSBC is
permitted to setoff the Mistaken Payment Claim, which will be
adjusted in accordance with the Final Determinations Process and
to remit the Mistaken Payment Claim to Royal Bank of Scotland.

LBHI and HSBC agree that HSBC is permitted to setoff the amount
it is owed on account of (i) the LBHI Overdraft, as adjusted in
accordance with the Final Determinations Process, plus accrued
interest and all costs and expenses, including any legal fees)
incurred by HSBC, and (ii) the Mistaken Payment Claim against the
Collateral Funds in full satisfaction of the HSBC Claim.

HSBC agrees to transfer EUR70,000,000 of the Collateral Funds
from the Euro Collateral Account to an account designated by
LBHI.

LBHI and HSBC agree to work in a commercially reasonable manner
to address issues surrounding HSBC's additional alleged setoff
rights against LBHI arising from any and all other and further
claims HSBC has asserted or may assert at a future date.

Accordingly, HSBC and LBHI sought and obtained Court approval of
a stipulation agreeing that the automatic stay is modified solely
to the extent necessary to permit HSBC to:

  (a) convert the monies in the Euro Collateral Account to
      British pounds in an amount equal to the HSBC Claim;

  (b) setoff the HSBC Claim against the Collateral Funds, which
      when complete will provide for the full satisfaction of
      the HSBC Claim; and

  (c) close the LBHI Customer Account.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Swabsin, et al, File Class Suit for Unpaid Salary
------------------------------------------------------------------
Two former employees of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed a
class action suit seeking declaratory ruling that their claims
against LBHI for unpaid salary are administrative expense or
priority claims.

In a 10-page complaint dated September 21, 2009, Cynthia Swabsin
and Alexander Leytman said that LBHI scheduled their claims as
unliquidated contingent claims and is treating them as general
unsecured claims.

"While [LBHI] appears to recognize these amounts are valid claims
in this proceeding, LBHI's characterization of them as general
unsecured claims is improper inasmuch as they should be deemed
administrative expense claims or alternatively wage priority
claims," the complaint said.

Ms. Swabsin and Mr. Leytman worked as assistant vice-presidents
and were among those who were laid off following LBHI's
bankruptcy filing on September 15, 2008.

LBHI offered Ms. Swabsin and Mr. Leytman and other employees
salary continuation and benefits through the date of their
termination.  The payment, however, stopped three days after the
investment bank filed its bankruptcy petition.  LBHI then
scheduled the remaining unpaid salary as a "general, nonpriority
unsecured unliquidated contingent claim."

The former employees also ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to appoint them as representatives
for other employees with similar claims, and appoint New York-
based Outten & Golden LLP, as their class counsel.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: PT Bank Negara File Suit for Return of Funds
-------------------------------------------------------------
PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk filed a lawsuit against
two subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. demanding them
to return the funds they received from the Indonesian bank.

The lawsuit stemmed from the alleged failure of Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. to return about
GBP1,000,000 to PT Bank Negara.  The money was supposed to be
returned on September 18, 2008, after LBSF failed to send about
$1,765,700 to PT Bank in exchange for the money.

PT Bank and LBSF were engaged in foreign currency exchange
transactions prior to LBSF's bankruptcy filing on September 15,
2008.  LBI served as LBSF's receiving agent under those
transactions.

"At no time did either LBI or LBSF acquire a legal or equitable
interest in the funds, neither entity, has any right to retain or
hold the funds, and each of them has been unjustly enriched by
its wrongful failure and refusal to deliver the funds to their
true owner," Hollace Cohen, Esq., at Troutman Sanders LLP, in New
York, said in a September 21 complaint.

The complaint was filed before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York, which oversees the chapter 11 case
of LBSF and the liquidation proceeding of LBI under the
Securities Investor Protection Act.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Phoenix Life Sue to Recover Erroneous Transfer
---------------------------------------------------------------
U.K.-based Phoenix Life Limited filed a lawsuit demanding Lehman
Brothers Commercial Corp. to return certain funds that were
erroneously transferred by Lehman Brothers International Europe.

The funds serve as collateral to secure Lehman Re Limited's
performance under a reinsurance agreement with Phoenix Life, and
were held by LBIE for the benefit of the U.K. company.  The funds
were allegedly transferred to an account in the name of Lehman Re
with LBCC without Phoenix Life's authorization.

In a complaint dated September 22, Phoenix Life asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to direct
LBCC to return the funds to the U.K.-based company and prohibit
LBCC from using the funds.

"The transferred collateral had been pledged to [Phoenix Life],
and LBCC therefore holds these funds in constructive trust for
the benefit of [Phoenix Life].  LBCC has no rights of possession
over the collateral or the proceeds," says Matthew Morris, Esq.,
at Lovells LLP, in New York.

Phoenix Life sent a demand letter to LBCC, stating that the
transferred funds were held in trust and seeking assurances that
it would not use the funds without the U.K. company's consent.
LBCC, however, allegedly did not respond, prompting Phoenix Life
to lodge the lawsuit.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Investor Class Sues for Securities Laws Violation
------------------------------------------------------------------
A group of investors filed a class suit against Lehman Brothers
Inc., the retail brokerage of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.,
alleging the company of violating securities laws.

The class suit stemmed from LBI's issuance of analyst reports on
RSL Communications Inc. to public investors, which the plaintiffs
alleged were false and misleading.  The reports were issued in
connection with the purchase by investors of RSL's common stock
for the period April 30, 1999 to December 29, 2000.

In a 49-page complaint, Lawrence Fogarazzo, et al. alleged that
LBI deliberately issued those reports to win or maintain
lucrative banking and financial advisory work from RSL in
violation of securities law.

"As a result of [LBI's] false and misleading statements, the
market price of RSL common stock was artificially inflated
throughout the class period, to the injury of plaintiffs and the
other class members who purchased RSL stock at that time, relying
upon the integrity of the market price of the stock," the
complaint said.

Mr. Fogarazzo, et al. sought payment for damages and allowance of
administrative priority claim for attorneys' fees and other
costs.  They also ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to appoint them as representatives for other
affected investors, and appoint the Law Offices of Curtis V.
Trinko LLP, as their class counsel.

LOK REDWOOD EMPIRE: Blames Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on Economic Woes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Steve Hart at The Press Democrat reports that Kirk Lok is seeking
bankruptcy protection for his Quality Inn in Petaluma, blaming it
on the recession.

Citing Mr. Lok, The Press Democrat states that Quality Inn never
defaulted on its loan, but it must restructure the business to get
through the downturn.

Mr. Lok said that Quality Inn reduced its work force to 25
employees and cut other expenses as business fell off, The Press
Democrat relates.  According to The Press Democrat, Mr. Lok
declined to disclose occupancy data for the Petaluma property, but
said that the business is down 20% over the past year.  "We hope
to have a plan in place in the next couple of months.  We want to
make sure all our vendors and creditors are taken care of," The
Press Democrat quoted Mr. Lok as saying.

Mr. Lok listed $7.3 million in assets and $3.9 million in
liabilities for Lok Redwood Empire Properties, which owns the
Quality Inn.

The Press Democrat says that the Sebastopol motel and proposed
Guernewood Park resort aren't included in the Chapter 11
bankruptcy filing, but Mr. Lok said that the Russian River project
is on hold until the economy improves.

Lok Redwood Empire Properties, Inc., dba Quality Inn - Petaluma is
a mid-range hotel in Santa Rosa, California, with rooms starting
at about $90 a night.


LTV CORP: Bankruptcy Court Has Yet to Rule on Ch. 7 Conversion Bid
------------------------------------------------------------------
The LTV Corporation disclosed that the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, has yet
to rule on a request to convert its case to one under Chapter 7 of
the Bankruptcy Code.

Certain officers and directors of LTV Steel and LTV who have been
named as defendants in a suit initiated by the Official Committee
of Administrative Claimants filed the Chapter 7 Trustee Motion in
April and May 2007.  An evidentiary hearing on the Chapter 7
Trustee Motion was held in August 2007.

LTV is in the process of liquidating, and its stock is worthless.
According to LTV, there is no set of facts known to LTV that will
result in proceeds of asset sales exceeding LTV's known
liabilities.  Thus, there will be no recovery to LTV's
stockholders.

On April 15, 2005, the Administrative Claimants Committee filed a
motion with the Court authorizing the Committee to commence and
prosecute causes of action against certain officers and directors
of LTV Steel and LTV on behalf of the LTV Steel bankruptcy estate.
A hearing on the motion was held in Bankruptcy Court on June 7,
2005.  A written ruling was issued on September 2, 2005, whereby
the ACC's motion was granted, in part, as determined in the
Court's Order.

On September 13, 2005, the ACC filed a complaint in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against
certain officers and directors of LTV Steel and LTV on behalf of
the LTV Steel bankruptcy estate.  On September 20, 2005, the Court
granted a motion filed by Glenn Moran, former director and
officer, for a stay pending appeal.  On January 30, 2006, the
Court entered an Agreed Order whereby, under a stipulation dated
as of November 30, 2005 between the ACC and the nine named
defendants of the Complaint, the Stay Order shall apply equally to
the ACC and all Defendants and shall stay the lawsuit until the
disposition of Mr. Moran's appeal.  Also, the parties have the
right to engage in limited discovery as permitted under terms of
the stipulation.  On April 2, 2009, the ACC filed its First
Amended Complaint and the ACC also filed a Notice of Lifting of
The Stipulated Stay of Proceedings.

On November 8, 2006, the District Court entered an order
dismissing the Moran Appeal.  On November 28, 2006, Mr. Moran
filed a notice of appeal of the Dismissal Order to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  The Sixth Circuit
heard oral arguments on January 15, 2009, and issued its opinion
on March 23, 2009.  The opinion of the Sixth Circuit affirmed the
November 8, 2006 District Court's ruling.  On April 6, 2009, Mr.
Moran filed a Petition for Rehearing and Suggestion for Rehearing
En Banc and Mr. Moran also filed a Notice of Continuation of Stay
Pending Consideration by the Sixth Circuit of the Petition for
Rehearing.  On July 15, 2009, the District Court issued an order
lifting the Stay Order previously imposed.  On July 21, 2009, the
Sixth Circuit issued an order denying the Petition for Rehearing.

On March 28, 2007, the ACC filed a motion with the Court
requesting an order to approve the appointment of a Chapter 11
trustee.  On June 28, 2007, the ACC filed a motion to withdraw the
Chapter 11 Trustee Motion; the Court granted the ACC's withdrawal
motion on August 1, 2007.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, The LTV Corp. is a manufacturer
with interests in steel and steel-related businesses, employing
some 17,650 workers and operating 53 plants in Europe and the
Americas.  The Company filed for chapter 11 protection on
December 29, 2000 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio, Case No. 00-43866).  On
August 31, 2001, the company listed $4,853,100,000 in assets and
$4,823,200,000 in liabilities.

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

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on July 2, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on McClatchy to 'CC' from 'SD' (selective default).  The
rating outlook is negative.  At the same time, S&P raised its
issue-level rating on each of McClatchy's senior unsecured notes
originally issued by Knight Ridder Inc. to 'C' from 'D'.  All
other outstanding ratings on the company were affirmed.

As reported in the TCR on May 25, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded McClatchy's Probability of Default rating to Caa3 from
Caa1 following the company's announcement that it has commenced a
private offer to exchange up to $1.15 billion of outstanding
senior unsecured and unguaranteed notes and debentures for up to
$60 million in cash and up to $175 million of new 15.75% senior
unsecured guaranteed notes due 2014.  Moody's also downgraded the
existing senior unsecured note ratings to Ca (2011 notes) and C
(2014, 2017, 2027 and 2029 notes), reflecting the expected loss
from the exchange offer and the high near term probability of
default.


MEDLINK INTERNATIONAL: Amends Annual Report, Posts $4.3MM Net Loss
------------------------------------------------------------------
MedLink International, Inc.'s balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2008,

of $4,365,769 compared with a net loss of $2,462,829.

On April 15, 2009, Jewett, Schwartz, Wolfe & Associates in

Company's ability to continue as a going concern after auditing
the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended

its business strategy.

METOKOTE CORPORATION: Covenant Breach Cues Moody's Rating Review
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed all ratings of MetoKote
Corporation on review for possible downgrade after the company
breached its leverage financial covenant at the end of the third
quarter ended July 31, 2009.

The sustained lower production volume at MetoKote's end markets,
most notably the automotive sector in North America (which
accounted for 42% of its total revenues), has resulted in
significant erosion of the company's sales (down 35% YOY) and
operating margin through the third quarter of 2009.  While Moody's
believes MetoKote's business model remains viable over the long
run given its leading position in the niche outsourced industrial
coating industry and its historically modest financial leverage,
its recent operating performance deteriorated very rapidly and the
near-term default risk has risen significantly due to the covenant
violation.  These factors in turn have resulted in the review by
Moody's.

Moody's review will focus on assessing the company's ability to
secure a timely cure of the covenant, as well as its plan to
enhance its operating performance and liquidity in the
intermediate term.  The liquidity review will evaluate MetoKote
ability to continue to generate free cash flow and to address the
upcoming maturity of its revolving credit facility due May 2010.
If the company was unable to obtain the covenant relief or its
future run-rate performance does not support the current rating
level, ratings will be downgraded.

These ratings were placed under review for possible downgrade:

* Corporate Family Rating - Caa1
* Probability of Default Rating - Caa2
* First-lien Senior Secured Credit Facilities -- Caa1

The last rating action was on May 5, 2009 when the company's PDR
was lowered to Caa2 from Caa1 with negative outlook.

MetoKote provides a full suite of outsourced industrial coating
services to manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Brazil.
The company offers solutions either within a customer's facility
or at one of MetoKote's regional facilities.  End markets served
include automotive, heavy truck, agriculture, construction, metal
furniture, appliances, and consumer products.  For the trailing
twelve month period ended July 31, 2009, the company's global
operations generated approximately $145 million in revenue.


MOMENTIVE PERFORMANCE: S&P Puts 'CCC-' Rating on Positive Watch
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed all its
ratings on Albany, New York-based Momentive Performance Materials
Inc. and its subsidiaries on CreditWatch with positive
implications, including the 'CCC-' corporate credit rating on
Momentive Performance Materials.  S&P believes it is likely that
the waiver, together with improving operating performance,
significantly reduces the likelihood of a near-term covenant
breach.  Quarterly EBITDA has been climbing steadily since
reaching a low of about $15 million (as calculated for bank
covenant purposes) in the first quarter of 2009.  It was
$64 million in the second quarter, and management expects it to be
between $84 million and $94 million in the third quarter.

"Key to the CreditWatch resolution will be assessing whether the
company can increase earnings from current levels and, longer
term, whether it can generate positive free operating cash flow
and improve the capital structure," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Cynthia Werneth.  "We will also assess the likelihood of a
debt restructuring.  Earlier this year, Momentive completed a debt
exchange that S&P considered distressed and therefore tantamount
to a default."

Despite the recent earnings improvement, Momentive remains very
highly leveraged.  Total adjusted debt is close to $4 billion.
S&P adjusts debt to include pay-in-kind seller notes at the parent
holding company (currently about $540 million), approximately
$125 million in underfunded, tax-effected postretirement
obligations, and $40 million of capitalized operating leases.  As
of June 28, 2009, total adjusted debt to EBITDA was a very
aggressive 25x.  Even if the company can sustain EBITDA at the
projected third-quarter 2009 level, leverage would continue to
exceed 10x.

S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch during the next few weeks.
S&P could raise the ratings modestly if S&P believes that the
near-term risk of default has diminished.  S&P's analysis will
center on earnings, cash flow, and liquidity prospects during the
next few quarters, the likelihood of a covenant breach following
the expiration of the two-quarter waiver, and the probability of
future debt restructurings.  In its analysis, S&P also expects to
form a judgment regarding the company's longer-term viability.


MOMENTIVE PERFORMANCE: Bank Debt Trades at 14.5% Off
----------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Momentive
Performance Materials, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary
market at 85.50 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday,
Sept. 25, 2009, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 5.04 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The loan matures on Dec. 5, 2013.  The Company
pays 250 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank debt carries Moody's B1 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC-
rating.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week
ended Sept. 25, among the 149 loans with five or more bids.

Momentive Performance Materials, Inc., is a producer of silicones
and silicone derivatives, and is engaged in the development and
manufacture of products derived from quartz and specialty
ceramics.  As of Dec. 31, 2008, the Company had 25 production
sites located worldwide, which allows it to produce the majority
of its products locally in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Momentive's customers include companies in industries, such as
Procter & Gamble, 3M, Goodyear, Unilever, Saint Gobain, Motorola,
L'Oreal, BASF, The Home Depot and Lowe's.

As of March 29, 2009, Momentive had $3.42 billion in total assets
on $4.08 billion in total liabilities, resulting in $662.8 billion
in stockholders' deficit.

The Troubled Company Reporter said on June 17, 2009, that Standard
& Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on
Momentive Performance Materials to 'SD' from 'CC' and its senior
unsecured and subordinated debt ratings on the company to 'D' from
'C' following the completion of what S&P considers to be a
distressed exchange offer.  In addition S&P has removed the
ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative
implications on March 17, 2009.  All S&P's other ratings on
Momentive and its subsidiaries remain unchanged.

Moody's Investors Service also deemed the recently concluded notes
exchange offer which included issuance of secured second lien
notes to be a distressed exchange, and lowered the Probability of
Default Rating of Momentive Performance Materials to Ca/LD from
Caa3.  Moody's also changed some of Momentive's other ratings to
reflect the occurrence of a distressed exchange.  The ratings on
Momentive's senior unsecured notes and senior subordinated notes
were changed to Ca from Caa2 and Caa3, respectively, reflecting
the low applicable clearing price resulting from the exchange
offer.  Moody's affirmed Momentive's Corporate Family Rating at
Caa1, its senior secured first lien debt (revolver and term loan)
at B1 and its Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-3.  The
rating outlook is negative.

OSI RESTAURANT: Bank Debt Trades at 16.2% Off in Secondary Market
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which OSI Restaurant
Partners, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
83.79 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 25, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.11
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures May 9, 2014.  The Company pays 225 basis points
above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries
Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B+ rating.  The debt is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25,
among the 149 loans with five or more bids.

OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc., is the #3 operator of casual-dining
spots (behind Darden Restaurants and Brinker International), with
more than 1,400 locations in the U.S. and 20 other countries.  Its
flagship Outback Steakhouse chain boasts more than 950 locations
that serve steak, chicken, and seafood in Australian-themed
surroundings. OSI also operates the Carrabba's Italian Grill
chain, with about 240 locations.  Other concepts include Bonefish
Grill, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, and Cheeseburger In Paradise.
Most of the restaurants are company owned.  A group led by
chairman Chris Sullivan took the company private in 2007.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 24, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded OSI Restaurant's Probability
of Default rating to Ca from Caa1 and lowered the rating on its
$550 million 10% senior unsecured notes to C from Caa3.  Moody's
also placed OSI's Corporate Family and senior secured ratings on
review for possible downgrade.

The review was prompted by the recent announcement that OSI
continues to experience a substantial decline in earnings and
store traffic to levels worse than Moody's previously expected.
The company also announced that it will likely need to take an
impairment charge of between $480 and $540 million for goodwill
due to a reduction in its projected results for future periods as
a result of poor overall economic conditions.


OZBURN-HESSEY HOLDING: Moody's Affirms 'B3' Corp. Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed the rating outlook of
Ozburn-Hessey Holding Company, LLC to negative from stable and
affirmed the B3 corporate family and probability of default
rating.

The negative outlook reflects the near-term expiration of the
company's $40 million revolving credit line, high leverage, and
expectation of soft volumes into 2010 which could continue to
drive net losses.  Although the company currently has no
borrowings under its revolver, the cash on hand balance is low and
the revolver supports approximately $9 million in letters of
credit; furthermore, the revolver has been relied on in the past
to support seasonal working capital and capital spending needs.
In Moody's view some revolver borrowing could be required to
compensate for relatively low operating cash flow.  While covenant
headroom is currently adequate, test levels step-down over 2010-
2012 and tight headroom could become a more pressing concern in
2010.

The B3 corporate family rating affirmation reflects proactive
steps the company has taken to reduce fixed costs which has helped
support margins, Moody's expectation that the de-stocking by
customers is winding down which may offer modest near-term
internal revenue growth, existing interest coverage measures that
sustain the B3 rating, and progress the company has made to
bolster its financial reporting capabilities.  The affirmation
also acknowledges the asset-light nature of Ozburn-Hessey's third
party logistics business model which enables the company to
aggressively bid for transportation services from a currently
oversupplied surface transportation network, as well as the
company's promising new account pipeline that could indicate
market share gains.

Additional ratings affirmed:

* $40 million senior secured revolver due August 2010 B1 LGD 3,
  33%

* $237 million senior secured term loan due August 2012 B1 LGD 3,
  33%

Moody's last rating action on Ozburn-Hessey occurred March 12,
2008 when the B3 corporate family rating was affirmed.

Ozburn-Hessey's 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 Ozburn-Hessey's core industry and Ozburn-Hessey's
ratings are believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of
similar credit risk.

Ozburn-Hessey Holding Company, LLC, headquartered in Nashville,
TN, is a provider of third-party logistics and related services,
including warehouse management, truck brokerage, customs
brokerage, freight forwarding, and dedicated contract carriage.
Ozburn-Hessey is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OHH Acquisition
Corporation, which is controlled by private equity group Welsh,
Carson Anderson & Stowe.  Ozburn-Hessey had FY2008 gross revenue
of approximately $810 million.


PHILADELPHIA NEWSPAPERS: Vague on Paying Pensions, PBGC Says
------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Morath at The Wall Street Journal reports that The Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corp. is objecting to Philadelphia Newspapers
LLC's bankruptcy plan, saying the Company hasn't made clear how it
will address its pension obligations.

According to The Journal, PBGC said that Philadelphia Newspapers
has an unfunded pension liability of about $10.3 million.

The Journal says that Philadelphia Newspapers submitted a
reorganization plan in August that would sell the Company to a
group of investors seeking to pump $35 million into the Company
and provide it with a $17 million letter of credit.

PBGC's lawyers said that Philadelphia Newspapers' proposal
provides for the improper and unlawful treatment of its pension
plan because it claims it can deal with the program as it would
other contracts and choose to accept or reject the pension plan as
part of the bankruptcy process.  Philadelphia Newspapers must
instead follow specific laws that apply to the termination of
pension programs if it wants to dump the plan, claiming that the
Company failed to definitively state whether it will continue the
pension program for 251 current and former workers or if it will
use bankruptcy to dump the plan, The Journal relates, citing PBGC.

The court will hold on Tuesday a hearing to consider if
Philadelphia Newspapers' reorganization plan can be sent to
creditors for a vote.

Philadelphia Newspapers -- http://www.philly.com/-- owns and
operate numerous print and online publications in the Philadelphia
market, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia
Daily News, several community newspapers, the region's number one
local Web site, philly.com, and a number of related online
products.  The Company's flagship publications are the Inquirer,
the third oldest newspaper in the country and the winner of
numerous Pulitzer Prizes and other journalistic recognitions, and
the Daily News.

Philadelphia Newspapers and its debtor-affiliates filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on February 22, 2008 (Bankr. E.D.
Pa. Case No. 09-11204).  Proskauer Rose LLP is the Debtors'
bankruptcy counsel, while Lawrence G. McMichael, Esq., at Dilworth
Paxson LLP is the local counsel.  The Debtors' financial advisor
is Jefferies & Company Inc. The Garden City Group, Inc. serves as
claims and notice agent.   Philadelphia Newspapers listed assets
and debts of $100 million to $500 million in its bankruptcy
petition.


PNG VENTURES: Taps Logan and Company Noticing and Claims Agent
--------------------------------------------------------------
PNG Ventures, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for authority to
employ Logan and Company, Inc., as official noticing, claims and
solicitation and balloting agent.

Logan will:

   -- provide services relating to the solicitation of acceptances
      and rejections of any plan of reorganization filed by the
      Debtors; and

   -- provide other services as may be requested by the Debtors or
      the Clerk's Office or the Debtors in connection with
      processing claims, providing notice to known creditors, and
      solicitation and balloting activities.

The compensation of Logan is not disclosed in the court document.

Kate Logan, president and CEO of Logan, assures the Court that the
firm is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Through its Applied LNG Technologies and other subsidiaries, the
Company engages in the production, distribution, and sale of
liquefied natural gas to customers consisting of public utilities,
industrial end-users and other fleet customers within the
transportation, manufacturing, distribution, and municipal

Rothschild LLP represent the Debtors in their restructuring
effort.  Logan & Co. serves as claims and notice agent.

As of June 30, 2009, PNG had total assets of $41,416,000 against
total debts of $47,519,000.


PROVIDENT FINANCIAL: Wants to Liquidate Assets
----------------------------------------------
K.J. Hascall at The Daily Inter Lake reports that Provident
Financial Inc. will liquidate its assets.

According to The Daily Inter Lake, Provident President and CEO
Brad Walterskirchen sought to assuage fears through his letter to
the Company's 500 investors and by fielding an onslaught of calls
from worried clients, assuring that the Company is "going forward
with an orderly liquidation.  We hope we'll have enough to pay
back our investors.  We can't predict what the economy is going to
do.  If it gets worse, it's going to put pressure on those assets.
We might absorb a loss.  If the market improves, we might be able
to sell assets at a profit."

The Daily Inter Lake relates that Provident a meeting of creditors
is set for October 9 in Missoula.  Provident's lawyer, Harold Dye
at Dye and Moe in Missoula, said that the Company will propose a
liquidation plan for creditors to vote on in the coming months,
The Daily Inter Lake states.  According to the report, creditors
will receive a disclosure statement, along with the plan, from the
Montana District of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  The report says
that investors will also receive ballots so they can vote on the
plan.  Mr. Dye expects the plan Provident is drawing up to win
approval, but if it doesn't, the case could be dismissed from
bankruptcy court or converted to Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the report
states.

Provident Financial Inc. provides loans, investments and
insurance.  It filed for Chapter 11 on Sept. 2 (Bankr. D. Mont.
Case No. 09-cv-61756), listing assets of up to $50,000 and debts
of $10 million to $50 million.

reasonable time and not more than one year after the entry of the
order.  In re PT-1 Communications, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL

the Home & Garden Media Group in addition to Taste of Home.  In
the digital space, Renee Jordan, general manager of
tasteofhome.com, will also be charged with building and growing
The Family Handyman and home sites as General Manager of the Taste
of Home and Home & Garden Digital Group.  Meanwhile, Amber Dunn,
Vice President of Sales for Digital Feast @RDA, will assume
digital advertising sales and operations responsibility for all
digital assets in the U.S. including readersdigest.com and
familyhandyman.com as well as allrecipes.com, tasteofhome.com and

"We have put together a great team of individuals to accelerate

said Ms. Grimes.  "Lora Gier, Renee Jordan and Amber Dunn have
been highly successful within the Food & Entertaining division,
and we can leverage their talent and experience to drive continued

Since Ms. Grimes joined RDA in April 2007, the Food & Entertaining
affinity has seen a 73 percent growth among Every Day with Rachael
Ray, Taste of Home and Allrecipe.com brands in the print, digital
and experiential program.  This increase is due, in part, to the
launch of Digital FEAST, a centralized digital advertising sales
team for the Food & Entertaining Affinity.  This group leverages
multiple titles to best meet advertisers' needs through
innovative, multi-platform campaigns.

At the same time, digital development has soared, with

percent growth for its Web site in the first quarter of 2009

responsible for the corporate sales and marketing programs of all
CNP print and digital properties.  Prior to this, Lora managed the
Midwest sales office of Vogue.  She also held key sales management
positions at Globe Media, Esquire, Outside, Spectrum Television
and IT Subscription Television.

Ms. Jordan has served as General Manager for Tasteofhome.com since
June 2007.  She led the planning and execution of the site's re-
launch in December 2007, which has delivered a 160 percent annual
growth in monthly unique visitors (Comscore: December 2008 - 1.9
million unique visitors).  Prior to this role, Ms. Jordan served
as Vice President, Consumer Marketing for Taste of Home and the
company's 12 other Milwaukee-based magazines in the food and
home/garden affinities.  She joined Reader's Digest in 2001 as
Vice President, Circulation Operations.  Prior to joining Reader's
Digest, Renee held consumer marketing and circulation leadership
roles at Primedia, Cowles Business Media, and Fairchild
Publications.

Ms. Dunn is Vice President of Digital FEAST @RDA, the centralized
digital ad sales team created in February 2009 for the Food &
Entertaining Affinity, and has more than a dozen years of
experience in the Internet arena.  Prior to joining Allrecipes,
Amber was Senior Director of Marketing with Kinetix Living, an
early-stage Internet startup, and WildTangent Inc., a casual,

loan matures on Sept. 30, 2013.  The Company pays 300 basis points
above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries
Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC- rating.  The debt
is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 25,
among the 149 loans with five or more bids.

Realogy Corporation is one of the largest real estate service
companies in the United States with reported revenues of about
$4.7 billion for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008.  Realogy was
incorporated in January 2006 to facilitate a plan by Cendant
Corporation to separate Cendant into four independent companies -
one for each of Cendant's real estate services, travel
distribution services, hospitality services (including timeshare
resorts), and vehicle rental businesses.  The separation became
effective July 2006.

Headquartered in Parsippany, N.J., Realogy is owned by affiliates
of Apollo Management, L.P., a leading private equity and capital
markets investor.  Realogy fully supports the principles of the
Fair Housing Act.

At March 31, 2009, Realogy had $8.62 billion in total assets,
$9.62 billion in total liabilities, and $997 million in
stockholders' deficit.


REALOGY CORP: S&P Assigns 'C' Rating on $475 Mil. Facility
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned a 'C' issue-
level rating to Realogy Corp.'s proposed $475 million second-lien
term facility due January 2014 with a recovery rating of '6',
indicating S&P's expectation for negligible (0% to 10%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default.

Upon the closing of the proposed $475 million second-lien term
loan, $150 million of the loan will be issued to Icahn Partners
L.P.  in a privately negotiated transaction in exchange for about
$218 million in face value of Realogy's senior toggle notes due
2014 held by Icahn Partners.  Realogy will receive $325 million in
proceeds from the second-lien term loan (net of the $150 million
issued in exchange for senior toggle notes), which will be used to
repay borrowings under the first-lien credit facilities and for
general corporate purposes.  Upon consummation of the exchange,
Icahn Partners has agreed to sell its remaining senior toggle
notes position, about $93 million in face value, to Realogy
sponsor Apollo Management L.P. for cash.  It will invest the cash
in the new second-lien term loan.

All other ratings on Realogy, including the 'CC' corporate credit
rating, were affirmed.  The rating outlook is negative.

"As a result of Realogy's plan to exchange $150 million of its new
second-lien term loan for about $218 million of its senior toggle
notes at less than par, S&P views the exchange as tantamount to
default given the distressed financial condition of the company,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Emile Courtney.

As a result, upon consummation of the exchange, S&P would lower
the corporate credit rating to 'SD' for selective default from
'CC' and the issue-level rating on the senior toggle notes to 'D'
from 'C'.


REPEATSEAT LTD: Gives Up Business Following Lenders' Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------
RepeatSeat Ltd., its subsidiaries RepeatSeat Inc., Comptrol
Systems, Inc., and its officers and directors have been served a
statement of claim alleging negligent misrepresentation, breach of
contract, negligence and breach of fiduciary duties by its lenders
Roynat Capital Inc., RPS Capital LP, by its general partner
Knightsbridge Capital Partners inc., and Knights Bridge LP by its
general partner Knight's Bridge Capital Partners Inc.  This action
relates to the June 2007 loan made by the lenders to RepeatSeat.
The Company is in the process of preparing its response to this
action.

The claim by the lenders was not anticipated by the Company as it
was operating under the terms of a forbearance agreement with the
lenders dated April 16, 2009, that provided an option for the
Company to convert all outstanding debt owed to the lenders by a
combination of a payment of $630,000 no later than September 30,
2009 and the subsequent conversion of remaining debt to RepeatSeat
equity.

Due to the action, RepeatSeat is unable to proceed with its plan
to convert or purchase the lenders' secured loan position with the
Company.  Consequently, the Company is unable to operate, as
further access to the necessary capital is not available at this
time.  In response to this situation RepeatSeat has effective
September 22, 2009, reached an agreement with an arm's length
independent corporation that will assume the day to day operations
of the Company's key operating divisions notably the online and
mobile movie ticketing platform.  That agreement is for 90 days
with provisions for earlier termination.  RepeatSeat is
financially insolvent and the board has determined that it must
make an assignment pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
and has retained David Bromwich of Bromwich and Smith, Inc., to
serve as trustee in this regard.

All directors of RepeatSeat have submitted their resignations. The
company also announces the previous resignations of George Watson,
board chairman and Dan Gerritsen, the company's Vice President
Finance and Chief Financial Officer.

REVETT MINERALS: Posts $1MM Net Loss in Quarter Ended June 30
-------------------------------------------------------------
Revett Minerals Inc. posted a net loss of $1,057,000 for three
months ended June 30, 2009, compared with a net loss of $1,040,000
for the same period in 2008.

For six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company posted a net loss
of $2,491,000 compared with a net loss $2,682,000 for the same
period in 2008.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2009, showed total assets
of $ 71,142,000, total liabilities of $22,183,000 and a
shareholders' equity of $48,959,000.

The Company said that there is substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.  The Company noted that at
June 30, 2009, the Company had negative working capital and
incurred a loss.  The Company added that future declines in the
price of copper and silver could result in a further reduction in
working capital and cash flows.

The Company's continuing operations and the underlying value and
recoverability of the mineral property, plant and equipment of the
Troy mine and the Rock Creek property are dependent upon the
existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the
ability of the Company to profitability operate the Troy Mine,
obtaining the continued forbearance of its creditors and the
completion of additional financing in order to address its working
capital deficiency, obtaining the necessary financing to complete
exploration and development of the Rock Creek property, obtaining
the necessary operating permits for the Rock Creek property and
future profitable production or sufficient proceeds from the sale
of the Rock Creek property.

SANSWIRE CORP: Restates Annual Report to Correct Accounting Errors
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanswire Corp.'s balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2008, showed total
assets of $3,240,215 and total liabilities of $18,692,369,
resulting in a stockholders' deficit of $15,452,154.

For fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2008, the Company posted a net loss
of $4,598,273 compared with a net loss of $10,519,861 for the same
period in 2008.

March 30, 2009, Weinberg & Company, P.A. in Boca Raton, Florida
expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's financial
statements for fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2008, and 2007.  The
auditor noted that the Company experienced net losses and negative
cash flows from operations and expects the losses to continue.
These conditions raise.

Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Florida against GlobeTel Communications Corp. and three former
officers of the Company, Timothy J. Huff, Thomas Y. Jimenez and
Lawrence E. Lynch.  The SEC alleges, among other things, that the
Company recorded $119,000,000 in revenue on the basis of
fraudulent invoices created by Joseph Monterosso and Luis Vargas,
two individuals formerly employed by the Company who were in
charge of its wholesale telecommunications business.  The SEC
alleges that the Company violated Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sections 10(b), 13(a),
13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-
13 under the Exchange Act.  The SEC seeks as relief a permanent
injunction, civil penalties, and disgorgement with prejudgment
interest.  The Company advised that it intends to defend itself in
this action.  The SEC lawsuit states that the staff is also
considering recommending that the SEC authorize and institute
proceedings to revoke the registration of Company's securities
pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act.

The Company filed an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2008, and 2007, to amend its
initial filings with the SEC.

On Sept. 11, 2009, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC
disclosing that its management concluded that an accounting error
had been made in the Company's historical Dec. 31, 2008 and 2007,
financial statements in relation to the recording of derivative
liabilities related to the conversion feature and associated
warrants issued with convertible notes during 2006, 2007, and
2008.  As a result, the Company's financial statements for the
years ended Dec. 31, 2008 and 2007, must be restated.

SFD@HOLLYWOOD: LLC Owner Has Right to Intervene in Claim Objection
------------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that an equity holder in a limited liability
company that had filed for Chapter 11 relief, having been
designated by statute as a "party in interest" with a right to
appear and be heard on any issue in the case, had a right to
intervene in a contested matter arising out of an objection to a
creditor's claim, especially where the equity holder had a direct
financial stake in the outcome of the contested matter, as
potentially affecting whether there was any surplus available
after payment of creditors for the equity holders.  In re

SIMMONS COMPANY: To File for Ch. 11; Sell Biz to Ares & TPC
-----------------------------------------------------------
Simmons Company and its indirect subsidiary Simmons Bedding
Company, a manufacturer of premium-branded bedding products, on
September 25 said their Boards of Directors have approved a
restructuring plan under which they have entered into an agreement
that provides for the acquisition of Simmons Bedding and all of
its subsidiaries, as well as its parent Bedding Holdco
Incorporated, by certain affiliates of Ares Management LLC and
Teachers' Private Capital, the private investment arm of the
Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

As part of the restructuring of its debt obligations and the
related transaction, Simmons will reduce its total indebtedness
from approximately $1 billion to approximately $450 million.

Simmons will emerge from this process with a stronger balance
sheet and increased financial flexibility.

The transaction is comprised of total consideration of
approximately $760 million, including equity from the purchaser
and certain of Simmons' and Simmons Bedding's current lenders as
well as debt commitments from certain of Simmons' and Simmons
Bedding's current lenders.  Further, a significant majority of
noteholders of Simmons and Simmons Bedding have agreed to support
the plan, including holders of 75.4% of Simmons Bedding's $200
million 7.875% senior subordinated notes and 72.6% of Simmons'
10% discount notes.

Stephen G. Fendrich, Simmons Bedding's President and Chief
Operating Officer, commented, "The purchase agreement we have
executed and the support we have secured from our noteholders for
this restructuring plan underscore the strength of the Simmons
brand, our strong performance in the marketplace, and the value of
the strategic and operational investments we have made in our
business, people and processes over the past several years.
Simmons Bedding is firmly positioned as an industry leader and
under this plan will retain its own identity and operational
structure, have a newly strengthened balance sheet, and will
remain committed to bringing innovative bedding products to
our customers. I am extremely pleased that the plan protects our
employees and provides for our senior lenders and suppliers to be
paid in full."

Mr. Fendrich continued, "I want to thank our employees and
advisors who have worked very hard in the face of an unprecedented
industry downturn to bring us to this significant and welcome
milestone, and I extend thanks as well to all of the stakeholders
who continue to play a part in ensuring that our business operates
as usual as we complete this process.  Our new investors
understand our industry and recognize that Simmons Bedding is a
great North American manufacturer; we look forward to working with
them to build upon its 139 year history of innovation, quality and
service in the bedding industry."

                      The Restructuring Plan

Under the plan, all of Simmons Bedding's trade vendors, suppliers,
employees and senior bank lenders will be paid in full, while each
holder of Simmons' senior subordinated notes will be entitled to
receive its pro rata share of $190 million in cash and each holder
of Simmons' discount notes will be entitled to receive its pro
rata share of $15 million in cash (which amount may be invested in
the equity of a new indirect holding company for Simmons Bedding
by holders of the discount notes who satisfy investment
requirements designed to assure compliance with securities laws
and specified in the plan).

Each of the senior subordinated notes and discount notes
distribution is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
Simmons and its domestic subsidiaries expect to launch a formal
process to solicit votes for its pre-packaged plan from the senior
bank lenders and the holders of the senior subordinated notes and
discount notes as soon as solicitation materials are ready. The
solicitation process is expected to be completed within 30 days
after launching.

Following the solicitation period, and to implement the
restructuring, Simmons and its domestic subsidiaries intend to
commence Chapter 11 cases under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and seek
confirmation of the pre-packaged plan.  While the anticipated
bankruptcy filings will not include Simmons Bedding's subsidiaries
in Canada and Puerto Rico, these operations will be acquired under
the terms of the purchase agreement.  In connection with the plan,
Simmons Bedding also has arranged for a $35 million debtor in
possession revolving credit facility with certain lenders,
pursuant to which Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as
the administrative agent and collateral agent and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. will act as the sole book runner and lead
arranger.  Throughout the restructuring process, Simmons Bedding
expects to continue normal operations under its current ownership
structure and does not anticipate any changes to its overall
business or its ability to meet its customers' needs.

                       The Transaction

Ares and Teachers', the owner of National Bedding Company LLC, the
largest manufacturer of bedding under the Serta brand name in
North America, intend to operate Simmons Bedding and Serta as
separate and distinct entities that will continue to compete with
one another in the market.  The two companies will retain their
unique corporate and brand identities, product lines and
management teams.

Bennett Rosenthal, Senior Partner at Ares Management LLC,
commented, "Simmons' prestigious brand name, innovative products,
strong and experienced management, as well as positive
fundamentals we see for the industry, are characteristics that
make it a very attractive investment to us.  As such, our
goal is to enhance these attributes by keeping Simmons Bedding a
separate and distinct company, and a complementary investment to
our existing holding in Serta. We believe that the resiliency
Simmons Bedding has shown during these turbulent times is a sign
of its strength that should be apparent to all of
its key stakeholders."

Erol Uzumeri, Senior Vice-President, Teachers' Private Capital,
stated, "As long-term investors, we seek companies with proven
talent throughout the organization and a strong franchise.
Simmons' historical performance is excellent when measured against
our core investment criteria and we are confident this investment
will deliver sustainable value."

The transaction is subject to customary terms and conditions,
confirmation of the plan by the Bankruptcy Court and expiration of
the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, pursuant to which the Federal Trade
Commission is currently reviewing the proposed transaction.

SUN-TIMES MEDIA: Liquidators May Win Auction Absent CBA Changes
---------------------------------------------------------------
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 25,
Sun-Times Media Group Inc. won approval from the Bankruptcy Court
to conduct an auction where a group led by James C. Tyree will be
the lead bidder with an offer valued at $26.5 million.

Sun-Times Media will sell its business to James C. Tyree-led
STMG Holdings LLC, absent higher and better bids at an auction on
October 7.  The Debtors will seek the Court's approval of the
results of the auction on Oct. 8.

"One more step, an important one, has been taken in our process to
acquire the Chicago Sun-Times and its sister papers," STMG said in
a statement in connection with the approval of the bid procedures.

STMG noted, however that there are still several hurdles,
including four major ones.

"First, the agreement requires that no material adverse change
occur to the business between now and closing.  Second, it is
contingent upon the approval of amendments to the collective
bargaining agreements by each of the company's unions.  Third, we
must be the successful bidder at the company's upcoming auction on
October 7.  Fourth, time is of the essence -- the longer the
process takes, the less likely it is that we will be able to
succeed."

In connection with the objections from unions about the required
paycuts, STMG stated, "We understand the concerns of union members
about the amendments that we believe are necessary to save the
papers.  We are hopeful that as all facts become known, union
members will realize that we are supporters of organized labor,
not adversaries. We have proposed the only solution we know that
will give us a chance to retain 1,800 jobs, including over 600
union positions.  We have not suggested concessions beyond those
we truly believe are necessary to turn the business around."

STMG noted that at the Sept. 24 hearing, the judge agreed that
liquidation bidders, who might seek to buy and sell off the assets
of the Sun-Times, would be allowed to submit qualified bids to
compete with bids like ours that seek to continue operating the
newspapers.  Furthermore, representatives of the Sun-Times'
biggest competitor were in the courtroom.

STMG said that to protect the future of the Sun-Times Media Group
business, however, it is crucial for us to achieve the union
amendments promptly for a closing as quickly as possible after the
October 8 sale hearing.

TOPS HOLDING: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to both Tops Holding Corp. and its
subsidiary Tops Markets LLC.  At the same time, S&P assigned its
'B' issue-level rating, with a recovery of '3' to the company's
proposed $250 million senior secured notes.  The '3' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation of a meaningful (50%-70%)
likelihood of recovery in the event of a payment default.  The
notes are co-issued by Tops Holding Corp. and Tops Markets LLC.
The proceeds from the notes, along with $13.5 million of
borrowings under a new $70 million asset-based loan revolving
facility, will be used to refinance existing debt, pay a
$80 million dividend to the shareholders, extend maturities, and
eliminate existing maintenance covenants.

"The ratings reflect Tops' participation in a very competitive
supermarket industry, its concentration in New York, its short
track record of operating independently, and a highly leveraged
capital structure with thin cash flow protection measures," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Mariola Borysiak.

Tops is a grocery retailer, operating 71 supermarkets primarily in
the Buffalo and Rochester, New York, markets, where it has an
approximate 32% market share.

TRONOX INC: Huntsman Seeks Antitrust Clearance for Purchase
-----------------------------------------------------------
Huntsman Corporation and Tronox Incorporated have made the U.S.
filings required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act in connection with its recently signed asset and
equity purchase agreement pursuant to which its wholly-owned
subsidiary Huntsman Pigments LLC has agreed to acquire certain
assets of Tronox and its subsidiaries under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363 for
$415 million, including working capital.

Huntsman and Tronox have already been engaged in discussions with
the Federal Trade Commission.

The Huntsman and Tronox HSR filings follow the order by the
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approving
the bidding procedures and granting certain benefits and bid
protections to Huntsman in its role as stalking horse bidder,
including a break-up fee and expense reimbursement.

A stalking horse bid is a binding proposal for a bankrupt
company's assets from an interested buyer chosen by the bankrupt
company, subject to a higher offer through an auction process
approved by the bankruptcy court.  If Huntsman is ultimately
approved by the bankruptcy court as the buyer and the sale is
approved, Huntsman's completion of the proposed acquisition of the
assets of Tronox as agreed remains subject to customary antitrust
and other regulatory approvals.

UNITED SECURITY: Opts to Defer Payments to Trust Preferred Holders
------------------------------------------------------------------
United Security Bancshares' (Nasdaq: UBFO) Board of Directors has
elected to defer interest payments on the Company's $15.0 million
of junior subordinated debentures relating to its trust preferred
securities beginning with the next interest payment date of
October 1, 2009.

The terms of the debentures and trust indentures allow for the
Company to defer interest payments for up to 20 consecutive
quarters without default or penalty. During the period that the
interest deferrals are elected, the Company will continue to
record interest expense associated with the debentures.  Upon the
expiration of the deferral period, all accrued and unpaid interest
will be due and payable.  During the deferral period, the Company
is precluded from paying cash dividends to shareholders or
repurchasing its stock.

The election to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated
debentures will allow the Company to maintain a stronger cash and
liquidity position.  "The decision to defer interest payments is
one that we took quite seriously, and was made after careful
consideration of the challenges current market conditions pose for
the Company," said Dennis R. Woods, President and Chief Executive
Officer.  Mr. Woods added, "Although the Company's capital level,
regulatory capital ratios and core earnings remain strong, we
believe our actions in this challenging economic environment are
in the best long-term interest of our shareholders and customers."

At June 30, 2009, all of the Company's capital ratios were above
the "well capitalized" minimums under regulatory guidelines, with
total risk-based capital ratio at 13.0% and the Tier 1 leverage
ratio at 11.2%.

W/C IMPORTS: Court Sets October 15 Deadline to Consider Sale
------------------------------------------------------------
Home Textiles Today reports that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California will consider the sale of W-C
Designs' assets on October 15.

Home Textiles Today states that W-C Designs told the court that
without a rapid asset sale, it would be forced to liquidate.  W-C
Designs said in court documents that auctioning off its assets
would yield substantially more than a liquidation, which it
projects would raise $200,000.  According to court documents, W-C
Designs has been seeking buyer since June, but was told by all
interested parties that they would only acquire the business
through a Chapter 11.

Home Textiles Today relates that W-C Designs said that since its
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, 14 prospective buyers have
signed confidentially agreements and undertaken due diligence,
with 10 parties still interested in bidding on the Company.

According to Home Textiles Today, assets to be sold include:

     -- raw goods;

     -- materials inventory;

     -- customer lists;

     -- open purchase orders;

     -- trademarks like Waterford, Calvin Klein, Casa Cristina,
        Monique Lhuillier, Royal Daulton, and Tabletops Unlimited,
        and certain copyrighted designs;

     -- furniture,

     -- fixtures, and

     -- other office equipment and supplies.

Home Textiles Today says that sale of the trademarks is subject to
approval by each licensor.

Esq., at Winthrop Couchot represent the Debtor in its

(i) schedules of assets and liabilities; (ii) statement of
financial affairs; (iii) list of executory contracts and unexpired

W/C IMPORTS: Wants to Auction Substantially All Assets October 13
-----------------------------------------------------------------
W/C Imports Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California for authority to:

   -- sell substantially all of its assets pursuant to Section 363
      of the Bankruptcy Court, free and clear of liens, claims,
      and interest; and

   -- assume and assign certain unexpired leases and executory
      contracts.

The auction will be held on Oct. 13, 2009, at 10:00 a.m.,PDT, at
the law offices of Winthrop Couchot Professional corporation, 660
Newport Center Drive, Fourth Floor, Newport Beach, California
92660.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 15, 2009,
the Company owed $2.75 million to the secured lender CIT Group
Inc.

Patrick McCullagh, the Debtor's president, also asserted against
the Debtor's estate a secured claim of $450,000

The Debtor relates that the proposed sale will yield substantially
more than a liquidation sale, which is $200,000.  If the Debtor
cannot consummate the sale, the Debtor does not have the resources
to sustain its operations and will therefore be forced to sell the
assets at a liquidation value.

Interested parties has until 4:00 p.m. on Oct. 12, 2009, to submit
their competing bids.

The Debtor proposes a sale hearing on Oct. 15, 2009, at 10:30 a.m.
in Courtroom 5a, 411 W. Fourth St., Santa Ana, California.

WEBB MTN: Bankr. Court Declines to Revisit Dismissal of Case
------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that a Chapter 11 debtor was afforded an adequate
opportunity to obtain a stay of the execution of the order that
dismissed its bankruptcy case and terminated the automatic stay,
even though the automatic 10-day stay of execution on a final
judgment or order arising in adversary proceedings did not apply.
Therefore, no violation of the debtor's procedural due process
rights occurred that would affect the validity of the actions of
its secured lenders, which immediately recorded quitclaim deeds
that had been executed by the debtor prepetition, due to the
reinstatement of the debtor's case on appeal.  The mechanics under
the governing rule for obtaining a stay were in place and
available throughout the contested matter resulting in the
dismissal of the case; that those steps were not taken in the face
of a potential dismissal of the debtor's case did not deprive the
debtor of its due process rights.  In addition, the debtor could
have immediately filed a notice of appeal, via the electronic
filing system, and moved for a stay pending appeal, or could have
filed a state-court action seeking a temporary restraining order
against the recording of the deeds.  In re Webb Mtn, LLC, --- B.R.
----, 2009 WL 425033 (Bankr. E.D. Tenn.) (Stair, J.).

Owning nearly 1,900 acres of land known as Webb Mountain in

* Credit Quality Declines in Annual Shared National Credits Review
------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit quality declined sharply for loan commitments of
$20 million or more held by multiple federally supervised
institutions, according to the 32nd annual review of Shared
National Credits.

The credit risk of these large loan commitments was shared among
U.S. bank organizations, foreign bank organizations (FBO), and
nonbanks such as securitization pools, hedge funds, insurance
companies, and pension funds.  Credit quality deteriorated across
all entities, but nonbanks held 47 percent of classified assets in
the SNC portfolio, despite making up only 21.2 percent of the SNC
portfolio. U.S. bank organizations held 30.2 percent of the
classified assets and made up 40.8 percent of the SNC portfolio.

The 2009 review covered 8,955 credits totaling $2.9 trillion
extended to approximately 5,900 borrowers.  Loans were reviewed
and categorized by the severity of their risk-special mention,
substandard, doubtful, or loss-in order of increasing severity.
The lowest risk loans, special mention, had potential weaknesses
that deserve management attention to prevent further deterioration
at the time of review.  The most severe category of loans, loss,
includes loans that were considered uncollectible.

Key findings were:

    * Criticized assets, which included SNCs classified as special
      mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss, reached
      $642 billion, up from $373 billion last year, and
      represented 22.3 percent of the SNC portfolio compared with
      13.4 percent in 2008.

    * SNC commitment volume increased $92 billion, or 3.3 percent,
      while the number of credits remained virtually unchanged.

    * Classified assets, which included SNCs classified as
      substandard, doubtful, or loss, rose to $447 billion from
      $163 billion and represented 15.5 percent of the SNC
      portfolio, compared with 5.8 percent in 2008. Classified
      dollar volume increased 174 percent from a year ago.

    * Special mention assets, which exhibited potential weakness
      and could result in further deterioration if uncorrected,
      declined to $195 billion from $210 billion and represented
      6.8 percent of the SNC portfolio, compared with 7.5 percent
      in 2008.

    * The severity of criticism increased with the volume of SNCs
      classified as doubtful and loss rising to $110 billion, up
      from $8 billion in 2008.  Loans in nonaccrual status also
      increased nearly eight times to $172 billion from
      $22 billion.  Nonaccrual loans included $32 billion in
      credits classified as loss and $56 billion classified
      doubtful.

    * The distribution of credits across U.S. bank organizations,
      foreign bank organizations, and nonbanks remained relatively
      unchanged.  U.S. bank organizations held 40.8 percent, while
      FBOs and nonbanks held 38 percent and 21.2 percent,
      respectively.  Nonbanks continued to hold a disproportionate
      share of classified assets.  Nonbanks held 47 percent of
      classified assets and 52 percent of nonaccrual loans.
      Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured institutions
      held 24.2 percent of classified assets and 22.7 percent of
      nonaccrual loans.

    * Criticized volume was led by the Media and Telecom industry
      group with $112 billion, Finance and Insurance with
      $76 billion, and Real Estate and Construction with
      $72 billion.  These three groups also represented the
      highest shares of criticized credits with 17.3 percent,
      11.7 percent, and 11.2 percent of criticized credits in the
      SNC portfolio, respectively.

    * The review identified significant deterioration in credit
      quality of leveraged finance credits, with these loans
      representing more than 40 percent of the dollar volume of
      total criticized assets. About 72 percent of the dollar
      volume of the 50 largest leveraged finance SNCs were
      criticized, which represents one-third of all criticized
      assets.

    * Underwriting standards in 2008 improved from prior years,
      with examiners identifying fewer loans with structurally
      weak underwriting characteristics compared to credits
      written in 2007 and 2006.  However, the SNC portfolio
      contained loans with structurally weak underwriting
      characteristics that were committed before mid-2007 that
      contributed significantly to the increase in criticized
      assets.

The SNC program was established in 1977 to provide an efficient
and consistent review and classification of SNC, which includes
any loan and or/formal loan commitment, and any asset such as real
estate, stocks, notes, bonds, and debentures taken as debts
previously contracted, extended to borrowers by a federally
supervised institution, its subsidiaries, and affiliates that
aggregates to $20 million or more and is shared by three or more
unaffiliated supervised institutions. Many of these large loan
commitments are also shared with foreign banking organizations and
nonbanks, including securitization pools, hedge funds, insurance
companies, and pension funds.

In conducting the 2009 SNC review, agencies reviewed $1.2 trillion
of the $2.9 trillion credit commitments in the SNC portfolio, or
41 percent of the credits by dollar volume. The 2009 SNC sample
was heavily weighted toward non-investment grade and criticized
credits. The results of the review are based on analyses prepared
in the second quarter of 2009 using credit-related data provided
by federally supervised institutions as of December 31, 2008, and
March 31, 2009.


* FDIC Running Out of Funds, May Need Taxpayers' Money
------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairperson
Sheila Bair has admitted that the agency is running out of funds
due to a sharp increase in bank failures and would hold a meeting
at the end of September to discuss options to rebuild the fund.

According to Reuters, among options being considered by U.S. bank
regulators to replenish the dwindling fund that safeguards bank
deposits is tapping a line of credit with the U.S. Treasury
Department.  Reuters quoted Ms. Bair as saying, "We are carefully
considering all our options, including borrowing from Treasury."
Reuters relates that FDIC has a $500 billion line of credit with
the Treasury Department.  Regulators are still reluctant to tap
the line of credit because they want to avoid temporarily using
taxpayer money to clean up the banking mess, the report says,
citing Ms. Bair.

Ms. Biar, Reuters states, said that FDIC could also consider
prepayments of assessments on banks and issuing a note.  According
to the report, the FDIC has already charged the industry one
emergency fee of $5.6 billion in 2010, and is authorized to levy
two more.

Looking beyond the early indications of stabilization in the U.S.
airline industry operating environment, the sector remains fragile
and highly sensitive to changes in air travel demand and the price
of jet fuel, according to Fitch Ratings' Fall 2009 Airline Credit
Navigator released.  Following a period of extreme revenue
pressure driven by the collapse in premium air travel demand over
the past year, U.S. airlines enter the fall with growing
expectations that still-tentative signs of stabilization in
revenue trends over the last several weeks may pave the way for
modest improvement in credit fundamentals and reduced bankruptcy
risks moving into 2010.  Fitch believes modest improvements in
industry profit margins, cash flow and liquidity are more likely
over the next year.

"The strength of a global economic recovery and the pace of
improvement in high-fare business travel demand will be the
driving forces influencing airline credit quality through the
winter," said Bill Warlick, Senior Director at Fitch.  "Over the
next economic cycle, sustained improvements in airline credit
fundamentals will depend upon further progress toward industry
consolidation, as this provides carriers with the best opportunity
to generate pricing power."

Relative liquidity positions and capital market access remain the
primary factors influencing Fitch's assessment of U.S. airline
credit quality.  While recognizing the sensitivity of industry
cash flow to the timing of a prospective revenue recovery, it is
important to note that all of the U.S. legacy carriers have seen
their liquidity positions eroded materially as a result of almost
two years of sustained operating pressure and constrained access
to capital.  Thus, even if revenues continue their gradual firming
trend through the period of seasonally weak demand extending into
the winter, some airlines will face the risk that uncomfortably
low cash balances in early 2010 will again force them to seek out
emergency sources of capital.

Fitch expects tight credit market conditions and an absence of
owned and unencumbered assets to limit the ability of large
carriers to reliably raise capital at a time when heavy cash
obligations, including debt maturities, pension funding and
aircraft capital commitments, will continue to pressure liquidity.
In addition, higher borrowing costs, persistently high leverage
and chronically weak cash flow highlight the largely unsustainable
nature of U.S. airline capital structures.

                           *********

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.
