ACTRADE FINANCIAL: Settlement Nixed Over CEO's Alleged Pilfering
----------------------------------------------------------------
A federal judge has affirmed a bankruptcy court's rejection of a
securities class action settlement involving Actrade Financial
Technologies Ltd. in light of new allegations that the Company's
former CEO looted $31.6 million in previously hidden funds,
according to Law360.

Actrade Financial, through its subsidiaries, provided payment
technology solutions that automate financial processes and enhance
business-to-business commerce relationships.  It filed for
Chapter 11 on December 12, 2002 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 02-
16212).  It obtained confirmation of its plan of liquidation on
January 7, 2004.


ADAM AIRCRAFT: Judge Denies Trustee Access to Medical Records
-------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that the former officer and director of a
corporate Chapter 7 debtor, against whom the trustee had brought a
fraudulent transfer avoidance proceeding to recover "key man"
policies which the debtor had initially purchased on his life, but
subsequently transferred to the officer and director upon
termination of his relationship with the company, did not waive
his right to privacy in personal medical records which trustee
sought to discover in aid of his valuation of these "key" man
policies, simply by asserting, by way of defense to the trustee's
constructive fraudulent transfer claims, that the policies had no
value.  The mere fact that the former officer and director, by
virtue of this defense, may have placed the policies' "value" into
question did not mean that he had placed his underlying physical
health at issue and did not prevent him from obtaining a
protective order in order to safeguard his right to privacy in his
medical records and health information.  In re Adam Aircraft
Industries, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 5064126 (Bankr. D. Colo.)
(Romero, J.).

-----------------------------------------------------------
Affiliated Media Inc. will present its reorganization plan and
disclosure statement for approval at a combined hearing on
March 4.

According to Bloomberg News, under the Plan, senior secured

AHERN RENTALS: Moody's Upgrades Default Rating to 'Caa2/LD'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Ahern Rentals, Inc.,
probability of default rating to Caa2/LD from Caa3, the
$237 million August 2013 9.25% second lien notes rating to Caa3
from Ca, and the speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-3 from
SGL-4.  The corporate family rating of Caa2 remains unaffected but
the rating outlook has changed to stable from negative.  The
rating action follows the January 8, 2010 completion of Ahern's
partial debt exchange and new first lien last out term loan
transaction.  Moody's considers the transaction to have been a
limited default due to the discount from face value at which the
participating second lien notes converted to FLLO debt.  The "LD"
designation will be removed from the probability of default rating
after several days.

The Caa2 probability of default and corporate family ratings
reflect commercial construction market softness which is expected
to persist at least into 2011 combined with high financial
leverage and increased interest expense from the exchange
transaction.  Furthermore, the rating acknowledges that the
liquidity profile could weaken in coming months as Ahern's August
2011 asset-based first lien revolver, which had $268 million drawn
as of November 2009, becomes a near-term liability.  Ahern's
prospects for refinancing the 2011 expiry could be challenging due
to the commercial construction market outlook and Ahern's high
leverage (6.7x as of September 30, 2009 Moody's adjusted basis).
The Caa2 underscores sustained default risk despite some near-term
liquidity profile improvements.

The upgrade in the speculative grade liquidity profile to SGL-3
from SGL-4 and outlook stabilization follows increased borrowing
availability from the exchange transaction, lower potential for a
near-term covenant breach and a new first lien facility covenant
that will limit Ahern's capital spending amounts.  Following the
transaction and the amended first lien credit facility, new cash
paid down the revolver by about $48 million and borrowing
availability increased to $41 million from $25 million-- with
$27 million of potential borrowing base collateral in excess of
the revolver commitment level.  The lower revolver borrowing level
reduced the likelihood that the facility's availability level
would decline below $25 million and thereby activate challenging
financial ratio tests.  As well, the amended credit facility will
limit the company's net capital spending to $9 million over the
first half of 2010 with spending thereafter governed by prior
quarter fleet utilization levels.  Assuming that the recent
stabilization of used equipment prices holds, the potential for a
near-term financial ratio breach has likely moderated.

Ratings changed:

* Probability of default to Caa2/LD from Caa3

* $237 million 9.25% second priority global notes due August 2013
  to Caa3 LGD5, 81% from Ca LGD4, 54%

* Speculative grade liquidity to SGL-3 from SGL-4

Ratings affirmed:

* Corporate family Caa2

Moody's last rating action on Ahern occurred December 14, 2009,
when the probability of default rating was downgraded to Caa3 from
Caa2.

Ahern Rentals, Inc., headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, is a regional
equipment supplier with 67 branches predominately in the Southwest
region of the United States.  The company specializes in high
reach equipment.  For the twelve months ended September 2009 Ahern
generated revenues of $303 million.


ALASKA AIR: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'B1'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed its debt ratings of Alaska Air
Group, Inc.; Corporate Family and Equipment Trust Certificates,
each at B1, and changed the outlook to stable from negative.
Moody's also assigned a Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-
2.

"The revised stable outlook reflects Alaska Air's good liquidity
and improving airline operating metrics and credit metrics," said
Moody's Senior Analyst, Jonathan Root.  Alaska Air currently
reports the highest yields compared to its U.S. peers.  The SGL-2
speculative grade liquidity rating reflects Alaska Air's good
liquidity, with unrestricted cash above $1.0 billion and the
expectation of positive free cash flow generation over the near
term.

The B1 Corporate Family rating considers Alaska Air's leading
market position on many parts of its route network, particularly
in the Pacific Northwest and intra-Alaska and routes to and from
Alaska, which supports its strong yields.  With good cost control,
credit metrics have also improved to sector-leading levels that
are consistent with the single-B rating category.  However, Alaska
Air's comparatively smaller size among airlines, challenge of
profitably growing non-Alaska routes and high unit costs that
require it to maintain a yield premium balance the ratings.
Payments by Alaska Airlines, Inc, the primary operating
subsidiary, under leveraged leases, fund the debt service
obligations of the ETC's.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that Alaska should
sustain credit metrics at levels that support the B1 rating as it
pursues modest growth of its route network.  The benefits of its
strong market position on its core routes should help mitigate
potential yield pressure on more competitive routes outside of its
core network.

The outlook could be changed to positive if Alaska Air can
continue to effectively control unit costs while maintaining its
yield premium to generate the cash flow required to reduce debt.
Achieving debt to EBITDA below 5.0 times, FFO + Interest to
Interest greater than 3.5 times or EBIT to Interest greater than
2.0 times, while continuing to generate positive free cash flow,
could result in a higher rating.  The inability to sustain yields
at levels that assure coverage of its higher unit costs or
unrestricted cash that declines towards $800 million could result
in a change in the outlook to negative.  Credit metrics that could
result in a rating downgrade are debt to EBITDA sustained above
7.0 times, FFO + Interest to Interest below 2.5 times or Retained
Cash Flow to Debt below 10%.

The last rating action for Alaska occurred on May 14, 2008, when
Moody's affirmed the corporate family rating and changed the
outlook to negative.

AMERICAN ELECTRIC: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Ratings on Junior Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings for American Electric Power
Co.:

  -- Issuer Default Rating at 'BBB';
  -- Senior Unsecured Debt at 'BBB';
  -- Junior Subordinated Debentures at 'BB+';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F2';
  -- Commercial Paper at 'F2'.

Approximately $1 billion of AEP parent debt is affected by the
action.  The Rating Outlook for AEP is Stable.

AEP's ratings are supported by the company's ownership of nine
electric utility subsidiaries that provide some cash flow
diversity and operate in generally balanced regulatory
environments.  In addition, Fitch recognizes financial actions
taken by management, particularly the significant reduction of
capital spending in 2009 and planned capex in 2010 as well as the
$1.64 billion equity offering in April 2009, which preserved cash
flow and liquidity at the company in a challenging economic
environment.  As a result, AEP's consolidated credit metrics
continue to be consistent with utility parent peers in the 'BBB'
rating category with the ratio of EBITDA to interest at 4.2 times
and funds flow interest coverage at 4.2x for the 12-month period
ended Sept. 30, 2009.  Debt leverage, as measured by the ratio of
debt to total capitalization, was 55.3% for the same time period.
Fitch projects that credit metrics will remain at or near the
current levels over the next two years, assuming reasonable
outcomes in pending rate cases and recovery of recent ice storm
related costs.  AEP owns more than 25,000 MW of coal-fired
generation, which exposes the company to future multi-pollutant
emissions and carbon laws.  Favorably, approximately 42% of total
coal units are in Ohio, which benefits from legislation that
specifically provides electric utilities with the ability to
recover carbon related environmental investments.

Primary rating concerns mainly relate to AEP's exposure to
potential emissions regulations or legislation given the company's
large coal-fired generation fleet, as well as weak economies in
several service territories, particularly Ohio, Michigan and
Kentucky.  In addition, AEP faces some regulatory uncertainty
relating to the end of the current electric security plans for the
Ohio utilities (Ohio Power Co.: IDR 'BBB' with a Stable Outlook;
and Columbus Southern Power Co.: IDR 'BBB+' with a Stable Outlook)
in 2011 and other regulatory proceedings.  In the near-term,
Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has yet to determine the
methodology for the Significantly Excess Earnings Test, which
requires the PUCO to determine if rate adjustments included in the
ESP resulted in significantly excessive earnings.  An adverse
ruling from the PUCO regarding earnings at the Ohio companies
could place pressure on the ratings of OPC, CSP as well as AEP and
its other operating companies.

While AEP has announced reductions in capital spending for 2010,
Fitch notes that capex budgets remain relatively high compared to
historical levels, with $2 billion forecasted in 2010 and 2011.
The largest components of capex include: investments in
distribution and transmission, environmental compliance costs and
new generation.  AEP is actively involved in several electric
transmission investment initiatives, including pursuing
opportunities in Texas, as well as areas in the Southwest, Midwest
and East Coast.  Additionally, AEP was selected to receive funding
from the U.S. Department of Energy through the Clean Coal Power
Initiative Round 3 to pay part of the costs of installing a
commercial-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage system on its
Mountaineer coal-fired power plant in West Virginia.  AEP has also
received DOE funds for an $87 million investment in gridSMART
technology.

Due to the equity issuance and reductions in capital spending, AEP
has been able to maintain a sufficient short-term liquidity
position, with approximately $3.6 billion of net available
liquidity as of Sept. 30, 2009, including more than $870 million
of cash on hand.  Parent-only debt is relatively modest and parent
debt maturities over the next five years are minimal, including
$490 million in 2010 and $243 million in 2015.  Fitch expects
maturing debt to be funded through a mix of subsidiary dividends
using internal cash generation and external refinancings.

On Dec. 23, 2009, the Cook nuclear plant Unit 1 reached full power
after completing testing and monitoring of the restored turbine
generator system and was re-connected to the transmission grid,
which mitigated Fitch's related concerns.  The 1,030 MW unit has
been out of service since September 2008 when turbine vibrations
damaged the turbine generator, support structure and associated
systems.  Repair of the property damage and replacement of the
turbine rotors and other equipment could cost up to approximately
$330 million.  Management believes that the company should recover
a significant portion of these costs through the turbine vendor's
warranty, insurance and regulatory mechanisms.  In another
favorable development, the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology
Commission recently affirmed the air permit for the Turk coal
unit, which was under appeal by plant opponents in June 2009.  The
650 MW plant is scheduled to come into commercial operation in
October 2012.

AEP is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States,
owning approximately 39,000 MW of generating capacity, primarily
coal and natural-gas fired, and approximately 39,000 miles of
electric transmission infrastructure.  AEP delivers electricity to
more than five million customers in 11 states, including Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma,
Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.  AEP also has a barging operation,
AEP River Operations LLC, that transports approximately 35 million
tons of coal and dry bulk commodities primarily on the Ohio,
Illinois and lower Mississippi Rivers.


AMERICAN INT'L.: U.S. Opens Probe into Payout to Partners
---------------------------------------------------------
ABI reports that a U.S. government investigator is opening a probe
into disclosures made as part of the government's rescue of
American International Group Inc. when the Company's trading
partners were paid billions in November 2008.

Based in New York, American International Group, Inc., is the
leading international insurance organization with operation in
more than 130 countries and jurisdictions.  AIG companies serve
commercial, institutional and individual customers through the
most extensive worldwide property-casualty and life insurance
networks of any insurer.  In addition, AIG companies are leading
providers of retirement services, financial services and asset
management around the world.  AIG's common stock is listed on the
New York Stock Exchange, as well as the stock exchanges in Ireland
and Tokyo.

In September 2008, AIG experienced a liquidity crunch when its
credit ratings were downgraded below "AA" levels by Standard &
Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.  On
September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank created an
$85 billion credit facility to enable AIG to meet increased
collateral obligations consequent to the ratings downgrade, in
exchange for the issuance of a stock warrant to the Fed for 79.9%
of the equity of AIG.  The credit facility was eventually
increased to as much as $182.5 billion.

AIG has sold a number of its subsidiaries and other assets to pay
down loans received from the U.S. government, and continues to
seek buyers of its assets.


ARMOUR RESIDENTIAL: Receives Delisting Notice From NYSE Amex
------------------------------------------------------------
ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc., received notice from the Staff of
the NYSE Amex, LLC on January 22, 2010 that the Exchange has
determined to proceed with delisting the Company's common stock
and warrants.  After careful consideration, the Company has
determined not to appeal this determination.

As previously announced, on December 7, 2009, the Company received
notice from the Staff of the NYSE Amex, LLC indicating that the
Company no longer complied with the Exchange's continued listing
standards due to the fact that the Company's current market
capitalization is below $50,000,000 and the Company does not
currently have at least 400 public shareholders, as required by
Sections 101(c)(2), 101(d)(1) and 102(a) of the NYSE Amex Company
Guide, and that its securities were, therefore, subject to being
delisted from the Exchange.  On December 10, 2009, the Company
appealed this determination and requested a hearing before a
committee of the NYSE Amex.  On January 19, 2010, the NYSE Amex's
Listing Qualifications Panel of the Committee on Securities held a
hearing to consider the written and oral submissions made by the
Company and the Staff.  On January 22, 2010, the Company received
notice that the NYSE Amex has determined to proceed with delisting
the Company's common stock and warrants from listing and
registration on the Exchange.

As also previously announced, the Company has commenced a listings
application process for its securities to be listed on The Nasdaq
Stock Market.  There can be no assurance that the Company's
securities will be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market
upon its delisting from NYSE Amex.  In such event, the Company's
common stock and warrants will be traded on the over-the-counter
market and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board upon delisting from
the NYSE Amex.  The Company notes that there can be no assurance
that any broker-dealer will be willing to act as a market maker in
the Company's securities or that, if such quotations begin, they
will continue for any length of time.

AUTOBACS STRAUSS: Files Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Autobacs Strauss,
Inc., doing business as Strauss Discount Auto, has filed a
reorganization plan that would give ownership to GRL Capital
Advisors LLC once general unsecured creditors have been paid 45%
of claims estimated to be $15.2 million.

According to the report, the Plan provides that unsecured
creditors will have notes allowing them to be paid 53.25% within
two years of plan confirmation from a portion of cash flow.  If
distributions are less within two years, then the notes increase
so creditors would receive as much as 65% from cash flow.  In
addition, unsecured creditors will receive most of the proceeds
from a pending lawsuit against the parent company, Japan's
Autobacs Seven Co.  A portion of lawsuit recoveries would be
applied against the notes.  The Company itself can receive a
portion of lawsuit recoveries from the parent.  The Plan provides
that avoidance actions against creditors will be waived.

According to Mr. Rochelle, the treatment of the parent under the
Plan depends on the outcome of the lawsuit.  If the creditors have
their way, the parent, which has a claim for $44 million, will see
its claim subordinated.

The Company has obtained a March 25 extension of its exclusive
right to solicit acceptances of a reorganization plan.

The Company allowed the exclusive right to file a plan to lapse.
The Plan was worked out with the creditors' committee.

AVISTAR COMMUNICATIONS: To Sell Patents to Intellectual Ventures
----------------------------------------------------------------
Avistar Communications Corporation has closed an agreement with
Intellectual Ventures Management to sell the majority of its
patents as part of a strategy to monetize its patent portfolio and
continue investment into its product business.

Highlights of the transaction are:

     -- Avistar receives an upfront payment of $11 million. This
        allows Avistar to further invest in its product strategy
        and reinforces its cash position.

     -- Avistar receives a full grant back license under the
        portfolio ensuring that its products are protected under
        these patents.

     -- Avistar is no longer adverse to the firms that it has
        previously put on notice.

Bob Kirk, chief executive officer of Avistar, said, "The
transaction with Intellectual Ventures is an important milestone
for Avistar.  The US patent market has created a challenging
environment for a company such as Avistar to effectively monetize
the full value of its portfolio.  This transaction allows us to
find the right vehicle for these patents to be represented in the
market.  It allows Avistar to focus on what we do best, that is
deliver industry leading and award-winning products to our
partners, clients and the visual communications industry.  This
also removes what has been a significant distraction for the team
and our operation in general, while providing us the capital to
more aggressively invest in our business."

According to Peter Detkin, Intellectual Ventures founder and vice
chairman, "Working with a company like Avistar allows Intellectual
Ventures to demonstrate how our business model helps innovative
companies identify new ways to monetize their patent portfolios.
Our experience doing sophisticated deals, like the one with
Avistar, not only benefits customers with complex IP needs, but it
also benefits technology companies who need access to inventions
such as the ones Avistar has created."

BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating on $1.2 Bil. Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' rating to
Bucyrus International Inc.'s proposed $1.2 billion term loan, the

70%) recovery in a default scenario.

At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'BB' issue-level ratings on
Bucyrus' proposed amended and restated senior secured credit
facilities.  The '3' recovery rating on the senior secured credit
facilities, indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%-70%)
recovery in a default scenario, remains unchanged.  The proposed
amended and restated senior secured credit facilities will consist
of $407.5 million secured revolving credit facilities (upsized
from $357.5 million currently) and a EUR65 million unsecured
German revolving credit facility.  The facilities are due in 2014
per the company's amendment request to extend the maturities of
the revolving credit facilities, a $392 million term loan and a
EUR73.5 million term loan, both due in 2014, as well as a new
$1.2 billion term loan C facility due 2016.  The company will use
the proceeds of the upsized revolving credit facility and term
loan C to finance a portion of the purchase of Terex Corp.'s
mining equipment business.

"The ratings on Bucyrus reflect the company's fair business risk
profile, with its leading position in the niche market for surface
and underground mining equipment manufacturing," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Robyn Shapiro.  Key business risks include
the company's exposure to the cyclical mining end market and
volatile commodity prices.  "The company benefits from its sizable
installed machine base, the high barriers to entry in the mining
equipment manufacturing industry, as well as the solid aftermarket
for the company's parts and services," she continued.

BUILDERS FIRSTSOURCE: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'CCC+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Dallas-based Builders FirstSource Inc., a manufacturer
and supplier of building products for new residential
construction, to 'CCC+' from 'SD'.  The outlook is positive.

In addition, S&P withdrew its 'D' issue-level and '5' recovery
ratings on the company's second-lien floating rate notes due 2012,
which were almost fully exchanged following the recapitalization
transaction.

The rating upgrade follows the conclusion of S&P's review of
Builders FirstSource's business and financial prospects after the
completion of its recapitalization transaction, which S&P had
viewed as being tantamount to default.  "The higher rating
reflects the post-recapitalization capital structure that included
a $130 million reduction in outstanding debt, higher cash
balances, and extended debt maturities," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Andy Sookram.  Builders FirstSource raised
approximately $180 million in cash proceeds from its common stock
rights offering in January 2010, using the net proceeds to
increase cash balances by about $50 million since Sept. 30, 2009,
and the remainder to reduce the amount outstanding under its
second-lien notes due 2012.  As a result, available cash increased
to approximately $142 million at the closing of the transaction
from about $90 million at Sept. 30, 2009.

The positive outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the company's
earnings and cash flow should improve in 2010 because of increased
demand due to the start of a recovery in the U.S. new residential
construction market.  S&P expects the company to maintain
sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated needs over the next 12
months with cash balances of around $85 million at the end of
2010, after supporting S&P's projected cash flow shortfall.

S&P could raise the ratings by one notch if the new residential
construction market recovers in line with S&P's expectation, which
S&P believes could likely result in a meaningful improvement in
earnings and cash flow for the company.  In addition, if this
scenario develops, S&P thinks that the company's cash usage could
be modestly lower in 2010.

A negative rating action could occur if the recovery in the new
residential construction market is slower than S&P anticipates,
resulting in a steeper decline in cash balances relative to its
current expectation to fund fixed charges.


BWAY CORPORATION: Moody's Gives Positive Outlook; Keeps B1 Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised the outlook of BWAY Corporation
to positive from negative and affirmed the B1 corporate family
rating.  Additionally, Moody's raised the speculative grade
liquidity rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3 and affirmed all instrument
ratings.  Additional instrument ratings are detailed below.

The positive outlook reflects BWAY's success in improving
operating performance and an anticipation of further improvement
over the intermediate term.  The company has significantly
improved its credit metrics over the last 12 months primarily
through cost cutting and productivity initiatives, improved
pricing, opportunistic purchases of steel, and inventory holding
gains.  Further improvement in credit metrics is anticipated from
the company's ongoing cost cutting, the integration of recent
acquisitions and, longer term, an eventual improvement in the
company's primary end market.  The outlook also contemplates the
potential for accretive acquisitions using the proceeds of free
cash flow.

BWAY's B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects credit risks resulting
from the high concentration of sales, cyclical nature of the
primary end market and current acquisitiveness.  The company
derives approximately 40% of its revenues from housing related
products (including paint and other building products) and 17%
from Sherwin Williams.

The ratings are supported by the company's strength in certain
credit metrics for the rating category, dominant share in its
markets and barriers to entry in the industry.  BWAY also benefits
from long-standing customer relationships and the limited number
of suppliers in its market with the scale to adequately serve
larger customers.

Moody's took these rating actions:

  -- Affirmed $50 million senior secured first lien revolver due
     2012, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%)

  -- Affirmed $5 million Canadian senior secured first lien
     revolver due 2012, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%)

  -- Affirmed $190 million senior secured first lien term loan B
     due 2013, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%)

  -- Affirmed $50 million senior secured first lien term loan C
     due 2012, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%)

  -- Affirmed $228.5 million 10% senior subordinated notes due
     2014, B3 (to LGD 5, 77% from LGD 5, 84%)

  -- Upgraded Speculative Liquidity Rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3

  -- Affirmed corporate family rating, B1

  -- Affirmed probability of default rating, B1

The ratings outlook was revised to positive from negative.

Moody's last rating action on BWAY occurred on March 25, 2009,
when Moody's rated new notes and affirmed the B1 corporate family
rating and negative outlook.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, BWAY Corporation is a North
American manufacturer of metal paint and specialty containers and
industrial general line rigid plastic containers for industrial
and consumer products.  Revenues for the twelve months ended
September 27, 2009, were approximately $904 million.


BWI HOLDINGS: To Make SEC Reporting Current following Plan OK
-------------------------------------------------------------
BWI Holdings, Inc. disclosed that after the anticipated approval
by the creditors of Budget Waste, Inc., the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada of the Plan of Arrangement
at the end of January 2010, and the approval by the Court of the
Plan of Arrangement, the Company intends promptly thereafter to
complete all delinquent audits and make all appropriate filings
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to become current
with its reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.

As previously announced, the company became delinquent in its SEC
reporting obligations in 2009 due to the financial struggles of
Budget Alberta, its subsequent filing for protection from
creditors under CCAA, and the Company's inability to fund the
costs associated with audits at that time.

CAPMARK FINANCIAL: Sale of Premier Shares to Close Late January
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Sale and Purchase Agreement between Capmark Financial and
Elliott Associates, L.P., and Elliott International, L.P., for the
acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Premier Asset
Management Company in Tokyo -- the servicing business of Capmark
Financial Group -- is scheduled to close by January 29, 2010,
according to statement released by the Luxembourg-based
investment companies affiliated with Elliott Management
Corporation.

To recall, the Elliott Affiliated Companies announced on
December 21, 2009, that they have entered into the Sale and
Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of Capmark Financial's
Servicing Business in Japan.  However, financial terms were not
disclosed.  The transaction was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware handling the sale of Premier in
an auction process of certain Capmark assets.

Premier was the first company to acquire a servicing license in
Japan in the late 1990s.  Since then, Premier has grown into one
of Japan's market leaders for CMBS and warehouse non-recourse
loan servicing.  In addition, the company provides special
servicing to defaulted non-recourse loans as well as third party
non-performing loan collections.

Elliott said it will to keep Premier's current management in
place and expects to maintain the company's existing platform in
the Japanese market.

"We are pleased to have been the successful bidder in this
process and expect to close the transaction as soon as possible,"
Elliott said.

Elliott Management acts as advisor to Elliott Associates, L.P.
and Elliott International Limited, which together have more than
$16 billion in assets under management.  The firm, founded in
1977, is one of the oldest private investment firms of its kind
under continuous management.  Elliott's investors include private
endowments and charitable institutions, family offices,
individuals, and friends and employees of the firm.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Judge Approves Fairbanks Diocese Revised Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Alaska said at the January 25
confirmation hearing that he will sign a confirmation order
approving the Chapter 11 reorganization plan of Catholic Diocese
of Fairbanks, Alaska.

The Creditors Committee is a co-proponent of the Third Amended
Plan, and supports its confirmation.  The Creditors Committee is
not a proponent of the previous plans filed by the Diocese.  The
Plan Proponents inform the Court that their Plan reflects (i)
their agreements for the reorganization of the Diocese, and
compensation and treatment of Tort Claims, (ii) the tireless
efforts of retired California State Court Judge William L.
Bettinelli, who acted as the mediator in the reorganization case,
and (iii) the efforts and willingness of the Plan Proponents to
continue to engage in mediation, which resulted to the resolution
that is embodied in the Plan.

Under the Third Amended Plan, the Diocese, with additional help
from its KNOM division, the Parish Churches, the Monroe
Foundation, increased insurance settlements and agreements by
professionals to forego certain fees, has been able to commit to a
guaranteed payment of $9.8 million to the Fund for paying Tort
Claims.  The $9.8 million amount is net of administrative expenses
and will be transferred to the Fund by the Diocese on or before
the Third Amended Plan's effective date.

The Third Amended Plan also contains certain minor modifications
to the treatment of Tort Claims as well as certain refinements to
the Great Divide settlement arrangement proposed in the Second
Amended Plan.  As a result, the Plan provides for the sale of the
Diocese's essential ministry property, including the Catholic
Schools of Fairbanks, to the Endowment in exchange for
$7.9 million of cash by the Effective Date.

The Diocese will immediately sell the Pilgrim Springs Property at
an auction to be conducted on February 25, 2010.  The Endowment
will submit the opening bid at the Pilgrim Springs Auction for
$1.85 million.  If there are third party bidders at the Pilgrim
Springs Auction, who submit bids in excess of the Pilgrim Springs
Guaranteed Sale Price and close on the sale, all excess proceeds,
net of customary closing costs of the sale will be paid to the
Fund to be used in accordance with the Plan.

Moreover, the Third Amended Plan effects a settlement and
compromise between the Diocese and the estate on the one hand, and
the Parish Churches, Monroe Foundation and the Catholic Trust of
Northern Alaska on the other hand, pursuant to which the Parishes
agree to contribute $650,000 from their unrestricted funds on
deposit with the CTNA to the Fund for paying Tort Claimants and
the Monroe Foundation agrees to contribute $150,000 to settle all
claims that the Diocese and the estate may have to the property of
the Parish Churches, the Monroe Foundation or the CTNA, including
avoidance actions.

As a result of the settlement, the Parish Churches, the CTNA and
the Monroe Foundation will become Participating Third Parties
under the Third Amended Plan and will receive the protections of
the Channeling Injunction provided under the Plan.

The Diocese will transfer to the Fund, proceeds from an insurance
settlement with Alaska National Insurance Company, which increased
from $1,100,000 to $1,400,000.  The Diocese will also assign its
claims of indemnity, allocation of fault and contribution against
the Sisters of Saint Ann to the Fund, as well as any claims it may
have for insurance coverage under the Oregon Province of Jesuit's
Safeco Insurance Policies and the Jesuit Allocation of Fault
Claims net of any amounts utilized to set off against the Jesuit
Unsecured Claims.

The Third Amended Plan provides for certain modifications to the
treatment of Tort Creditors:

  (1) There is the addition of a Convenience Tort Claim
      treatment, which will allow Tort Creditors to opt out of
      the Litigation Protocol and the Litigation Trust, if one
      is established, and Settlement Trust claim allowance and
      evaluation procedures and receive $2,500 within 30 days of
      the Effective Date;

  (2) There are certain modifications to the Litigation Protocol
      for allowing and liquidating Tort Claims that opt into
      Litigation Tort Claim treatment; and

  (3) There are certain refinements to the process governing
      Settling Tort Claims:

      * Settling Tort Claims are deemed Allowed, and Allowed
        Settling Tort Claims are assigned by the Settling Tort
        Claimants to the Settlement Trustee; the liquidated
        amount of the assigned Settling Tort Claims will be
        determined by either Claim Allowance Agreements, which
        have been approved as reasonable by the Court under Rule
        9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, or
        will be liquidated by the Special Arbitrator in a
        Binding Arbitration Proceeding; and

      * Each Settling Tort Claimant will receive a reasonable
        share of the Settlement Trust based on a matrix of
        evaluation factors that was developed in connection with
        the settlement between the Jesuits and 113 Tort
        Claimants in December 2007.  The Settlement Trustee will
        make a preliminary distribution from the Settlement
        Trust shortly after the matrix evaluation is completed
        and as expeditiously as possible after the Effective
        Date.

The Third Amended Plan also gives effect to a covenant settlement
arrangement under Great Divide Insurance Co. v. Carpenter, 79 P.3d
599 (Alaska 2003), and other legal authority, pursuant to which
the Diocese will assign its Claims against Great Divide Candidate
Insurers to the Settlement Trustee, who will pursue the Diocese's
insurance coverage claims against the Great Divide Candidate
Insurers for the Settling Tort Claimants Allowed Claims.  In
addition, each Settling Tort Claimant will assign any of his or
her Claims against a Great Divide Candidate Insurer to the
Settlement Trustee.  Proceeds from actions against the Great
Divide Candidate Insurers will be used to fund additional
distributions from the Settlement Trust to Settling Tort Claimants
and will also be used to fund the Future Claims Reserve.

The Diocese's commitment to reconciliation and healing is further
reinforced in the Third Amended Plan by continuing the Diocese's
commitment to assist the healing process and by Diocese's
commitment to take additional non-monetary actions, including:

  -- The Diocese will file with the Court the names of
     individuals identifying them as priests, religious, lay
     employees and volunteers accused of sexual abuse in the
     filed Proofs of Claim.  The Diocese will not seek to seal
     the filing and will not oppose any effort by any third
     party to seal the filing;

  -- For a period of 10 years after the Effective Date, the
     Reorganized Debtor will post on the home page of its and
     the Diocese of Fairbanks' Web page a prominent link on the
     home page to the names of accused individuals and other
     known perpetrators;

  -- Within 18 months after the Effective Date, Bishop Kettler
     will personally go to every Parish in which any individuals
     were abused and where those accused persons served.  The
     Bishop will read from the pulpit a statement of apology and
     encourage parishioners to support victims;

  -- A general letter of apology will be displayed on Fairbanks'
     Web site for a period of 10 years from the Effective Date;

  -- No later than 60 days after allowance of any Tort Claim,
     Bishop Kettler will send individual letters of apology to
     the Tort Claimant and, if requested by the Tort Claimant,
     to his or her immediate family; and

  -- The Reorganized Debtor will file status reports regarding
     its compliance with the non-monetary undertakings with the
     Court and serve the Settlement Trustee.

To facilitate implementation of the Third Amended Plan, the
Endowment Documents will be modified (i) with respect to their
spending policy, and (ii) to permit investment in investment and
mission real property and to provide modifications to the
permitted asset allocations.  After the approval of the amendment
to the Endowment Documents, the Endowment will be permitted to
acquire real property.  Under the Third Amended Plan, the Diocese
will sell these real properties to the Endowment, which will then
become part of the corpus of the Endowment:

     Catholic Schools of Fairbanks        $3,500,000
     Chancery property                     1,200,000
     Kobuk Center/priest residence         1,120,000
     Warehouse maintenance center            225,000
     KNOM property, Nome, Alaska             430,000

According to the Bloomberg report, to deal with some of the same
claims, the Society of Jesus, Oregon Province, filed under Chapter
11 in February 2009 in Oregon. For the Fairbanks plan to be
implemented, there must be a conclusion to the Jesuits'
reorganization as well.

The Jesuits' case is In re Society of Jesus, Oregon Province,
09-30938, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Oregon (Portland).

CCM MERGER: Moody's Reviews 'Caa1' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed CCM Merger, Inc.'s ratings,
including its Caa1 Corporate Family Rating, on review for possible
downgrade.  The review for downgrade reflects Moody's heightened
concern that CCM may have difficulty obtaining commitments from
its revolving credit facility lenders to extend the July 21, 2010,
expiration date of its $100 million senior secured first lien
revolver.

"CCM has not yet obtained an extension of its revolver, something
it has been formally attempting to do since September 2009",
stated Keith Foley, Senior Vice President at Moody's.  "In Moody's
opinion, this suggests that CCM may be in an unfavorable
negotiating position and/or placed in a situation that involves a
broader capital structure negotiation which could result in
impairment to creditors."  CCM relies on its revolver for both
drawings as well as letters of credit.  Ratings would likely be
lowered if CCM is unable to obtain an extension on its revolver or
successfully obtain an alternate and suitable solution to this
near-term liquidity concern.

In addition to monitoring the progress and possible outcome of
CCM's negotiations with its lenders, Moody's review will focus on
the company's ability to improve its earnings, leverage, and
market share in the face of weak demand trends.  Despite cost
cutting efforts, debt/EBITDA remains high at about 7 times.
Additionally, the company has reported negative year-over-year
monthly comparable gaming revenue from April 2009 through December
2009, and lost market share as well.

Ratings placed on review for possible downgrade (and LGD rates
subject to adjustment):

* Corporate Family Rating at Caa1

* Probability of Default Rating at Caa1

* $100 million first lien revolver expiring July 2010 at B3 (LGD
  3, 34%)

* $561 million first lien term loan B due July 2012 at B3 (LGD 3,
  34%)

* $282 million 8% senior unsecured notes due August 2013 at Caa3
  (LGD 5, 87%)

Moody's previous rating action on CCM occurred on January 16,
2009, when the company's Corporate Family Rating and Probability
of Default Rating were lowered to Caa1 from B3 and a negative
rating outlook was assigned.

CCM Merger, Inc., indirectly owns and operates the MotorCity
Casino in Detroit, Michigan.  The company generates approximately
of $470 million of annual net revenue.


CENTRAL GARDEN: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B1'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Central Garden & Pet Company's
corporate family rating to B1 based on the company's strong
operating performance and its improved liquidity profile.  At the
same time, Moody's also upgraded these ratings: probability of
default rating to B1, senior subordinated notes rating to B3 and
the secured credit facility (term loan and revolver) rating to
Ba3.  The SGL 2 speculative grade liquidity rating was affirmed.
The rating outlook is positive.

"Despite the worst recession in over 70 years, Central Garden's
operating performance has gotten much better over the last two
years, which, in turn, has enabled it to repay almost $200 million
of debt" said Kevin Cassidy, Senior Credit Officer at Moody's
Investors Service.  The principal reasons for the improvement are
the Do-It-Yourself trend in lawn & garden, less volatility in raw
material prices and a focus on internal cost efficiency efforts.

The B1 corporate family rating reflects Central Garden's modest
size, limited geographic diversification, seasonality and weather
dependency of its business, and single digit operating margins.
The rating also incorporates the challenges posed by its large
retail customers and the significant competition inherent in the
highly fragmented lawn and garden and pet supply industries.  The
rating is supported by the company's strong market position in its
core businesses, an improved liquidity profile and good credit
metrics highlighted by modest financial leverage (around 3x debt
to EBITDA) and good cash flow to debt ratios.

The SGL 2 speculative grade liquidity rating reflects the
company's cash balances of over $85 million and the expectation of
at least $100 million of annual free cash flow in the near to mid
term.  The liquidity rating is also supported by having full
access to a $350 million revolving credit facility and ample
cushion under its financial covenants.  Liquidity is constrained
by the upcoming maturity of its revolving credit facility in
February 2011 and by the inherent volatility in cash flow due to
weather, seasonality and commodity costs.

The positive outlook incorporates Moody's expectation of continued
operating performance improvement and continued strong credit
metrics even if Central Garden were to make a modest acquisition.
For example, financial leverage temporarily increasing to around
4x because of a strategic acquisition is consistent with the
positive outlook.  The positive outlook also considers Moody's
view that the company will maintain its strong liquidity profile
and will likely renew its revolving credit facility well before
its maturity date.

These ratings were upgraded:

* Corporate family rating to B1 from B2;

* Probability of default rating to B1 from B2;

* $150 million senior subordinated notes due 2013 to B3 (LGD5,
  88%) from Caa1 (LGD5, 88%));

* $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2011
  to Ba3 (LGD3, 39%) from B1 (LGD3, 39%);

* $300 million senior secured term loan due 2012 to Ba3 (LGD3,
  39%) from B1 (LGD3, 39%);

This rating was affirmed:

* Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL 2

The last rating action for Central Garden was on July 1, 2009,
where Moody's affirmed the ratings and stabilized the rating
outlook.

Central Garden & Pet Company, located in Walnut Creek, California,
manufactures an array of branded lawn and garden and pet supply
products, and operates as a distributor for other manufacturers'
products in both of these segments.  Sales were $1.6 billion for
the twelve months ended September 26, 2009.


CENVEO CORPORATION: Moody's Rates $375 Mil. Secured Notes at 'B2'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service rated Cenveo Corporation's $375 million
second priority secured notes B2.  Cenveo is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc., a publicly traded holding company.
Since nearly all of the proceeds from the new notes issue will be
used to repay existing debt, the transaction is neutral to
Cenveo's credit profile and, accordingly, the company's B2
corporate family and probability of default ratings were affirmed.
Cenveo is weakly positioned at the B2 rating level and a
significant rebound in leverage and coverage measures is required
to substantiate existing ratings.  This would be facilitated by
the company achieving its 2010 public EBITDA (as defined by the
company) target of $250 million.  With that, Debt/EBITDA
incorporating Moody's standard adjustments would trend towards 6x
(ongoing measures are in the high 8x range).  Risks that 2010
performance gains will be somewhat modest cause the ratings
outlook to be negative.

Presuming the $375 million second lien notes issue closes as
expected, the reduced size of the first ranking debts combined
with loss absorption capacity provided by the second lien notes
causes the bank credit facility's rating to be upgraded to Ba2
from Ba3.  The new second lien notes are positioned between prior-
ranking first lien debt and ahead of unsecured and subordinated
debt.  With the amounts ranking ahead and behind being
approximately equal, the new $375 million second lien notes are
rated equally with Cenveo's B2 CFR.

Simultaneously with and conditional upon a successful notes issue,
Cenveo has arranged for important amendments to its bank credit
facility.  In exchange for significantly reduced exposure and
incremental junior-ranking capital, lenders have agreed to
financial covenant compliance concessions.  Completion of the
transaction on the basis proposed extends the weighted average
term-to-maturity of the company's debt, frees-up availability
under the company's revolving credit facility, provides relief
from pending financial covenant compliance issues, and allows
working capital measures to be normalized.  Completion of the
transaction, which is assumed, allows the company's speculative
grade liquidity rating to be maintained at SGL-3, indicating
adequate liquidity arrangements.  Presuming financial performance
tracks to the company's guidance, the transaction also sets the
stage for additional refinance transactions as Cenveo looks
towards 2012, 2013 and 2014, when its revolving credit, remaining
term loan, and two notes issues come due.

Moody's most recent rating action concerning Cenveo was taken on
May 26, 2009, at which time the company's CFR and PDR were
downgraded to B2.

Cenveo, Inc.'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 Cenveo's core industries and Cenveo's ratings are
believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of similar
credit risk.

Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, Cenveo Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc. (a publicly traded holding
company), is involved in commercial printing and packaging,
envelope, form and label manufacturing, and publishing services.


CENVEO CORP: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating on $375 Mil. Senior Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its issue-
level rating of 'B' (one notch lower than the 'B+' corporate
credit rating on the company) to Cenveo Corp.'s proposed
$375 million senior second-lien notes due 2018.  S&P also assigned
a recovery rating of '5' to the notes, indicating that lenders can
expect modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.  The proceeds from the issue will be used to prepay a
portion of the company's outstanding term loan and revolving
credit balances.

At the same time, S&P raised the issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured credit facilities to 'BB' (two notches
higher than the corporate credit rating) from 'BB-' and revised
the recovery rating on this debt to '1' from '2'.  The '1'
recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for very high (90% to
100%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.  S&P
revised the recovery rating due to the amendment to the company's
credit facility which reduces the revolving credit commitment to
$150.0 million from $187.5 million, as well as the repayment of an
estimated $300.0 million of the outstanding term loan balance from
the note proceeds.  This results in a lower amount of senior
secured debt outstanding under S&P's simulated default scenario
than that used in S&P's previous analysis and an improvement in
the recovery prospects for these loans.

S&P has affirmed the company's 'B+' corporate credit rating and
maintained its negative rating outlook and all other issue-level
ratings on Cenveo.

"The rating action reflects the company's announcement that it has
received the requisite consents to amend its existing senior
secured credit facilities and its marketing of second-lien notes,"
explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Listner.  In
connection with the proposed note issuance, Cenveo will amend its
senior secured credit facilities to allow for the incurrence of at
least $350 million of senior secured refinancing debt, reduce the
revolving credit commitment to $150.0 million from $187.5 million,
institute a 2.25x first-lien leverage ratio, and reset the
existing interest coverage and total leverage covenants under the
agreement.  The note offering and prepayment of a portion of the
company's senior secured indebtedness extends the maturity of a
portion of the company's indebtedness and provides for what S&P
believes to be needed covenant relief, as financial covenant
thresholds were scheduled to tighten considerably over the coming
quarters.

"The affirmation of the 'B+' corporate credit rating and negative
rating outlook reflect that although S&P view the transaction as
beneficial in managing the company's maturity profile," said Mr.
Listner, "we remain concerned about the potential for print
volumes to lag the recovery in the economy, as well as the
uncertainty of the company's ability to pass through increasing
raw material costs to customers given the highly fragmented
industry, characterized by significant pricing pressures." In
addition, given the decline in operating performance throughout
2009, S&P expects that the company's credit measures (already weak
for the current rating) have continued to deteriorate through the
fourth quarter of 2009.

S&P estimates that debt to EBITDA (fully adjusted for operating
leases and pension and post-retirement obligations) was in the
mid-6x area and EBITDA interest coverage was slightly below 2x at
the end of 2009.  Although S&P expects that the acquisition of
Nashua Corp. (which closed in September 2009) will benefit the
company through incremental EBITDA contributions in 2010, S&P
regards the company's current credit measures as weak for the
rating.  An improvement in printing volumes and organic growth, in
conjunction with a commitment for future debt repayment would be
the path to improving credit measures, and hence, a stable rating
outlook.


CHAMPION AUDI: Novela Law Assisted Qvale Auto in Acquisition
------------------------------------------------------------
The Miami law firm, Novela Law, represented QVALE AUTO GROUP, and
its local operating entities, AUDI CORAL SPRINGS and AUDI POMPANO
BEACH, as lead counsel in negotiating and closing the acquisition
of both CHAMPION AUDI dealerships located in Broward County,
Florida, collectively the world's largest Audi dealership.

California based Qvale Auto Group and its affiliated companies are
dealers of imported and domestic automobiles, with numerous auto
dealerships. Bruce Qvale, President, sought out Novela Law's
expertise with the $17 million acquisition.  Daniel Novela, a
partner at Novela Law, worked on the acquisition over a five month
period.

Champion Audi had filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in May 2009.
The acquisition was challenging because success depended on
reaching an agreement acceptable to the seller, the bankruptcy
court and the manufacturer, Audi.

Novela noted, "It has been a pleasure to represent Bruce Qvale and
his businesses for a number of years.  These two Audi dealerships
represent the finest within the Audi dealership franchise.  A
difficult economic environment and bankruptcy proceedings made
this transaction interesting and challenging.  We went through
many different acquisition and financing structures due to the
ever changing economic environment.  Happily, the parties involved
were a pleasure to work with, and made for a smooth closing."


CHAMPION ENTERPRISES: S&P Withdraws 'D' Corporate Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its 'D' corporate
credit and debt ratings on Champion Enterprises Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiary Champion Home Builders Co.  S&P also
withdrew its '6' recovery rating on each company's bank debt and
convertible notes.

On Nov 15, 2009, Champion and its domestic subsidiaries filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of
Delaware.  At the time of the filing, the company had
approximately $324 million of prepetition debt, including
$130 million of senior secured bank debt and $180 million of
convertible notes.  At the time of the filing, Champion obtained
an $80 million debtor-in-possession credit facility (a $40 million
new money loan and a $40 million prepetition roll-up loan) from
certain existing lenders.

On Jan. 18, 2010, Champion announced that it entered into a letter
of intent with certain existing investors for the sale of
substantially all of its operations.  The proposed transaction is
subject to bankruptcy court approval, and other qualified bidders
have the opportunity to submit higher and better offers.

S&P withdrew its recovery ratings because S&P does not expect to
receive the necessary post-filing financial information that would
enable us to appropriately monitor the ratings.

Troy, Mich.-based Champion is a leading builder of manufactured
and modular homes in North America, as well as steel-framed
modular buildings in the U.K.

CHRYSLER LLC: New Chrysler to Suspend Production at Windsor Plant
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler will stop making minivans at its Windsor assembly plant
for about a week starting Monday because of parts shortage,
according to a January 23 report by Detroit Free Press.

The auto maker did not identify the part or the supplier that is
causing the disruption but attributed the closure to "continued
stress in the automotive supply chain," the report said.

The Windsor plant, which has about 4,900 workers, is the only
Chrysler plant that manufactures minivans.

Rick Laporte, president of Canadian Auto Workers Local 444, said
the plant will stop because of a shortage of a plastic part for
the key fob.

"There should not be any lost sales but the vehicles we don't
build next week will have to be made up in coming weeks," Mr.
Laporte said told Detroit Free Press.

Chrysler is expected to resume production on February 1, according
to the report.

CLARENDON ALUMINA: Moody's Retains Caa1 Rating on $200 Mil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings outlook of Clarendon
Alumina Production to stable.  The rating on CAP's $200 million of
8.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021 remains Caa1.  This follows
Moody's January 22, 2010 rating actions on the Government of
Jamaica which were tied, in part, to the government's domestic
debt exchange program.  Moody's understands that CAP's debt is not
currently included in this program.

Moody's believes CAP could not support its current capital
structure as a standalone entity.  CAP's ratings continue to
reflect the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee provided by
the Government of Jamaica and that the government has provided
funds in recent years to enable CAP to meet various obligations.

The actions included:

* $200 million 8.5% guaranteed senior unsecured notes, due 2021,
  remains Caa1

* Outlook changed to stable from negative

Moody's previous rating action on Clarendon Alumina Production was
on November 18, 2009, when the senior unsecured note rating was
lowered to Caa1 from B2 and a negative outlook was assigned.  This
followed Moody's November 18, 2009 rating action on the Government
of Jamaica.

The rating of Clarendon is based on the irrevocable guarantee of
the sovereign, The Government of Jamaica.  See Moody's press
release of January 22, 2010, available on moodys.com for
information about Moody's ratings of The Government of Jamaica.

Headquartered in Kingston Jamaica, CAP is 100% owned by the

in common, in the assets of Jamalco, a joint venture with Alcoa
Minerals of Jamaica, a Delaware, USA limited liability company.

CONSECO INC: Completes Reinsurance Transaction
----------------------------------------------
Conseco, Inc., on Tuesday said it received the necessary
regulatory approvals and completed the previously announced
transaction under which its Bankers Life and Casualty Company
subsidiary coinsured, with an effective date of October 1, 2009,
about 234,000 life insurance policies with Wilton Reassurance
Company.  At closing, Wilton Re paid Bankers Life a ceding
commission of approximately $44 million and 50% coinsured these
policies, which Bankers Life will continue to service and
administer.

"This transaction is expected to increase Conseco's consolidated
risk-based capital ratio by 9 percentage points, along with
increasing statutory capital by the amount of the ceding
commission," said Conseco CEO Jim Prieur.

As part of the transaction, Bankers Life transferred to Wilton Re
approximately $73 million in investment securities and policy
loans and $117 million of statutory policy and other liabilities.

Conseco expects to record (as a result of the transaction) an
increase to its deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately
$18 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Conseco also expects
to record a pre-tax deferred cost of reinsurance of approximately
$30 million, which, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, will be amortized over the life of the
underlying policies, reducing quarterly pre-tax income from
operations by approximately $0.5 million.  In addition, Conseco's
future GAAP income from operations will be reduced by the earnings
from the portion of the block that is coinsured; such pre-tax
earnings before overhead were approximately $2 million in the
third quarter of 2009.

(insurance financial strength at Ba2) and changed the outlook to
positive from negative.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its 'CCC'
counterparty credit rating on Conseco Inc. and the 'BB-' financial
strength ratings on Conseco's insurance subsidiaries.  S&P revised
the outlook to stable from negative.  In December, S&P placed its
'CCC' counterparty credit rating on Conseco Inc. on CreditWatch
with positive implications, "to reflect Conseco's significantly
improved financial flexibility."


CONSTELLATION BRANDS: Moody's Puts 'Ba3' Rating on Amended Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to Constellation Brands' amended and
extended revolving credit facility and term loan B.  The company's
other ratings, including its Ba3 CFR and stable outlook were
unchanged.

The company extended $650 million of its revolver from a June 2011
maturity to a June 2013 maturity while at the same time reducing
the revolver size to $841.96 million from $900 million.  The
$191.96 million that was not extended until 2013 will mature as
scheduled in 2011.  The company also extended the maturity of 25%
or $300 million of its Term Loan B facility from June 2013 to June
2015 and amended the amortization schedule for this loan.
Constellation also announced that it intends to prepay its
$250 million 81/4% subordinated notes due January 2012.  These
changes help to improve the company's maturity schedule.

Constellation's Ba3 rating reflects its large scale and market
diversification, its broad portfolio of brands covering the
premium wine, spirits and imported beer categories, franchise
strength, solid profitability, and efficiency.  Offsetting these
strengths are Constellation's substantial financial leverage,
troubled international businesses, continuous significant
structural changes which result in lack of comparability with
historical results and other businesses in the industry.  "The
company's recent debt reduction efforts and focus on driving
organic growth, away from historically more aggressive and
acquisition-focused growth strategy, are credit positives" said
Linda Montag, Moody's SVP.  The extended maturity dates for the
credit facilities are a plus for liquidity despite the reduction
in the size of the revolver leaving the company well positioned at
SGL-2.

These ratings were assigned:

* $650 million revolving credit facility maturing June, 2013 at
  Ba3, LGD 4, 51%

* $300 million tranche of the term loan B facility at Ba3, LGD 4,
  51%

The LGD rates assume the pre-payment of the subordinated notes as
announced.

The last rating action for this company took place on November 28,
2007, when Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to Constellation Brand's
$500 million senior unsecured note issuance which was used to fund
its acquisition of Fortune Brands' U.S. Wine business.

Headquartered in Victor, New York, Constellation Brands, Inc., is
a leading international wine company with a broad portfolio of
premium brands across the wine, spirits, and imported beer
categories.  Major brands in the company's portfolio include,
Robert Mondavi, Clos du Bois, Ravenswood, Blackstone, Hardys,
Banrock Station, Nobilo, Kim Crawford, Inniskillin, Jackson-
Triggs, Arbor Mist, Black Velvet Canadian Whisky, and SVEDKA
vodka.  It imports Corona through the Crown Imports Joint Venture.
For LTM August 2009, reported net revenue was approximately
$3.4 billion.


CONTINENTAL AIRLINES: Posts $282-Mil. Net Loss in Full-Year 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------
Continental Airlines reported a 2009 full-year net loss of
$282 million ($2.18 diluted loss per share).  Excluding
$145 million of previously announced special charges, and a
$158 million non-cash income tax benefit, Continental recorded a
net loss of $295 million ($2.28 diluted loss per share) for the
year.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, Continental reported a fourth
quarter net income of $85 million ($0.60 diluted earnings per
share).  Excluding $77 million of previously announced special
charges, and a $158 million non-cash income tax benefit,
Continental recorded a fourth quarter net income of $4 million
($0.03 diluted earnings per share).

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $3.2 billion, a
decrease of 8.3% compared to the same period in 2008.  Passenger
revenue for the fourth quarter fell 9.5% ($296 million) compared
to the same period in 2008 due to lower yields.

Full-year 2009 and fourth-quarter results continued to be
adversely affected by declines in high yield traffic due to the
global recession.

"My co-workers have done a superb job working through enormous
challenges in 2009, while providing the best customer service and
product in the business," said Jeff Smisek, Continental's
chairman, president and chief executive officer.  "While we are
seeing some business traffic increasing, we likely have a long and
slow road to recovery.  We remain focused on achieving and
maintaining profitability."

Continental's employees earned a total of $3 million in cash
incentives for on-time performance during the quarter.  The
company recorded a U.S. Department of Transportation on-time
arrival rate of 77.2% and a systemwide mainline segment completion
factor of 99.4% during the quarter.

Continental Airlines joined Star Alliance in the fourth quarter of
2009, providing significantly improved benefits to customers
including access to the world's largest airline network and
reciprocal frequent flier and airport lounge benefits with Star
Alliance's 25 other member airlines around the world.

Continental ended the fourth quarter with $2.86 billion in
unrestricted cash and short-term investments.

During the fourth quarter, Continental completed the sale of
$644 million of enhanced equipment trust certificates to be
secured by a total of 19 owned aircraft.   A portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the certificates will be used to finance
the company's purchase of nine new Boeing 737-800 and two Boeing
777 aircraft and the remainder of the proceeds will be used for
general corporate purposes.  The funds are expected to be received
in the first half of 2010.

Also in the fourth quarter, the company issued $230 million of
4.5% convertible debt.  The notes mature on Jan. 15, 2015, and are
convertible into Continental's common stock at an initial
conversion price of approximately $19.87 per share.

During 2009, Continental took a number of steps to strengthen its
cash balance and competitive position, and continued to
distinguish itself from competitors.  Continental, among other
things:

     -- Raised approximately $1.7 billion through the issuance of
        enhanced equipment trust certificates, other new secured
        borrowings, convertible debt and common stock.

     -- Inaugurated daily nonstop service between New York and
        Shanghai, linking the world's leading financial center and
        top business and tourism destination with China's center
        for finance and trade. In addition, Continental began
        daily nonstop service between its Houston hub and
        Frankfurt and between Houston and Rio de Janeiro.

     -- Took delivery of 13 Boeing 737-900ER and three leased
        Boeing 757-300 aircraft.  In addition, the company removed
        from service 20 Boeing 737-300 aircraft and eight Boeing
        737-500 aircraft.

     -- Delivered solid operational performance, operating 101
        days without a single mainline flight cancellation.  The
        company recorded a DOT mainline segment completion factor
        of 99.5% and a systemwide on-time arrival rate of
        78.8% for the year.

     -- Rated as the top airline on FORTUNE magazine's World's
        Most Admired Airline on its 2009 list of World's Most
        Admired Companies for the sixth consecutive year.

     -- Became the first commercial carrier to successfully
        demonstrate the use of sustainable biofuel to power an
        aircraft in North America.

     -- Paid employees $25 million ($595 per employee) in cash
        incentive payments for monthly on-time performance.

     -- Contributed $176 million to its defined benefit pension
        plans.  In addition, the company contributed $34 million
        to its defined benefit pension plans in January 2010.
        Since the beginning of 2002, Continental has contributed
        approximately $1.8 billion to its defined benefit pension
        plans.

                       *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 4, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issue-level ratings
on all senior unsecured debt of Continental to 'CCC+' from 'B-'
and revised the recovery ratings on certain unsecured debt issues,
excluding industrial revenue bonds, to '6' from '5'.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating and secured
debt ratings on Continental.

The ratings on Continental's unsecured debt are based principally
on declining aircraft values caused by the global aviation
downturn.  This could result in reduced asset protection for
unsecured creditors if Continental were to file for bankruptcy.

Continental continues to carry Moody's Investors Service's B2
corporate family and Fitch Ratings' 'B-' Issuer Default Rating and
'CC/RR6' from 'CCC/RR6' senior unsecured rating.


CONVERSION SERVICES: Peipert Resigns as EVP and Operations Head
---------------------------------------------------------------
Effective January 25, 2010, Glenn Peipert has resigned from the
positions of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
of Conversion Services International, Inc.  Mr. Peipert continues
to serve as a member on the Company's board of directors.

To the Company's knowledge, Mr. Peipert's resignation was not a
result of any disagreement relating to the Company's operations,
policies or practices.

                  About Conversion Services Int'l

Conversion Services International, Inc., and its wholly owned
subsidiaries are principally engaged in the information technology
services industry in these areas: strategic consulting, business
intelligence/data warehousing and data management to its customers
principally located in the northeastern United States.

CSI was formerly known as LCS Group, Inc.  In January 2004, CSI
merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of LCS. In
connection with this transaction, among other things, LCS changed
its name to "Conversion Services International, Inc."

As of September 30, 2009, CSI had total assets of $5,337,007
against total liabilities of $6,607,259 and Series A convertible
preferred stock of $1,393,332, resulting in a stockholders'
deficit of $2,663,584.

The Company has incurred net losses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, and the years ended December 31, 2004 through
2008, negative cash flows from operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, and the years ended December 31,
2004 through 2008, and had an accumulated deficit of $72.1 million
at September 30, 2009.  The Company has relied upon cash from its
financing activities to fund its ongoing operations as it has not
been able to generate sufficient cash from its operating
activities in the past, and there is no assurance that it will be
able to do so in the future.  Due to this history of losses and
operating cash consumption, the Company cannot predict how long it
will continue to incur further losses or whether it will become
profitable again, or if the Company's business will improve.
These factors raise substantial doubt as to its ability to
continue as a going concern.

DBSD NORTH: Accuses Dish of Bad Faith In Bankruptcy Appeal
----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that DBSD North America Inc. has urged a district
judge to reject an attempt by Dish Network Corp., one of its
secured lenders, to overturn orders confirming DBSD's Chapter 11
reorganization plan and setting aside Dish's vote against the
plan.

DISH Network Corporation became involved in the Debtors' cases
when, after the Debtors proposed a plan of reorganization, DISH
bought up all of the Debtors' First Lien Debt from its prior
holders, at par, seeking by its acquisition of the Debtors' debt,
"to acquire control of this strategic asset."  Thereafter,
literally on the eve of the plan confirmation hearing, DISH sought
to terminate exclusivity and obtain permission to file its own
plan, further to achieve its strategic objective.  Finding that
"[t]his is the paradigmatic case for the application of the
Allegheny doctrine," the Honorable Robert E. Gerber ruled that
DISH Network's claim should be designated pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 1126(e), and that DISH Network is disqualified from voting on
the Debtors' plan.

In October 2009, Judge Gerber confirmed the Debtors' chapter 11
plan, but the plan can't take effect until the Debtors obtain
adequate exit financing.  DISH Network Corp. and Sprint Nextel
Corp. then took appeals from Judge Gerber's confirmation order to
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

DEX ONE: Moody's Assigns Corporate Family Rating at 'B1'
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Dex One Corporation a B1
Corporate Family Rating and B1 Probability of Default Rating based
upon the company's proposed reorganized capital structure
following its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  In addition,
Moody's assigned a B1 rating to the credit facilities of R.H.
Donnelley Inc. and Dex Media East LLC, a Ba3 rating to the credit
facility at Dex Media West LLC, a B3 rating to Dex's senior
subordinated notes due 2017, and a SGL-2 speculative grade
liquidity rating.  The rating outlook is stable.

Assignments:

Issuer: Dex One Corporation

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B1
  -- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B1
  -- Senior Subordinated Notes, Assigned a B3, LGD6 - 95%
  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-2

Issuer: Dex Media East LLC.

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned a B1, LGD3 -
     43%

Issuer: Dex Media West LLC

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned a Ba3, LGD3 -
     42%

Issuer: R.H. Donnelley Inc.

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned a B1, LGD3 -
     43%

Outlook Actions:

Issuers: Dex One Corporation, Dex Media East LLC, Dex Media West
LLC and R.H. Donnelley Inc.

  -- Outlook, Assigned Stable

The ratings are based on the company's Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization that was confirmed on January 12, 2010 and the
expectation that Dex will emerge from bankruptcy by the end of
January 2010.  According to the plan, the company's $9.6 billion
of pre-petition debt will be reduced by approximately $6.4 billion
through the elimination of approximately $6.0 billion of pre-
petition unsecured notes and a paydown from existing cash at
closing.  The senior secured pre-petition bank debt issued by
Dex's operating subsidiaries will be reinstated, DMW's pre-
petition senior noteholders will receive the new $300 million
senior subordinated notes, and the various noteholders will
receive all of the equity interest in the reorganized company
(subject to dilution for management incentive plans).  The credit
facility pricing spreads are being increased and the maturity
dates extended to October 2014.  In addition, drawdowns on the
pre-petition revolving credit facilities will be termed out and
consolidated into the new term loans at RHDI, DME and DMW.  Dex
and its subsidiaries voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection
on May 29, 2009.

Dex's B1 CFR is driven by the significant cash flow and strong
EBITDA margins generated from a geographically diverse portfolio
of directory assets.  Moody's expects ongoing competition from
online and mobile directory service providers will continue to
pressure Dex's revenue and EBITDA base as consumers shift to more
digital search channels.  Moody's expects debt-to-EBITDA leverage
will increase from approximately 3.2x at close (pro forma LTM
9/30/09 incorporating Moody's standard adjustments) to a low to
mid 4x range in 2010 and 2011 due to the ongoing change in
consumer directory usage habits and the lingering effects of the
consumer led downturn on local advertising markets.  Moody's
anticipates Dex will utilize free cash flow largely to reduce debt
given the sizable required amortization, excess cash flow sweeps
in each credit facility, and a prohibition on dividends and share
repurchases in the new senior subordinated note indenture,
resulting in debt-to-EBITDA being maintained in a low-to-mid 4x
range.

The SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating reflects Dex's
ability to service its approximate $200 million of required debt
amortization from existing cash (approximately $125 million upon
emergence after funding all reorganization-related payments) and
approximately $420 million of projected free cash flow in 2010.
The strong free cash flow generation is aided by the significant
reduction in cash interest expense as a result of the
reorganization and is critical to liquidity and the B1 CFR due to
the absence of a revolver.  Moody's anticipates DMW, DME and RHDI
will have at least a 15% EBITDA cushion within the financial
maintenance covenants over the next 12-18 months.

Moody's utilized a one notch override to assign a Ba3 rating to
DMW's credit facility rather than the B1 implied outcome from the
quantitative notching model.  Moody's ranked the credit facilities
of DMW, DME and RHDI the same within the priority of claim
waterfall because the bank debt at each respective borrower is
secured by a pledge of all the assets at that entity and its
subsidiaries.  DMW's leverage is nevertheless expected to remain
approximately one turn lower than that of DME and RHDI and this
drives the one notch override.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Dex
will maintain a good liquidity position supported by free cash
flow generation well in excess of its required debt amortization
and sustain debt-to-EBITDA leverage below 4.75x.

Moody's last rating action for Dex was on May 29, 2009, when the
PDR was lowered to D from Ca/LD, the CFR was lowered to Ca from
Caa2, and the various debt instrument ratings were downgraded
following the company's announcement that it had filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.  Moody's subsequently withdrew the pre-petition
ratings on June 4, 2009.

Dex'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 Dex's core industry and
believes Dex's ratings are comparable to those of other issuers
with similar credit risk.

Dex, headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, is a local business
marketing services company that includes print directories and
online voice and mobile search.  Revenue was approximately
$2.3 billion for the LTM period ended September 30, 2009.


DIGICEL GROUP: Haiti Catastrophe Won't Affect Moody's 'B1' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service says the ratings of Digicel Group
Limited and Digicel Limited are not likely to be affected despite
the catastrophic effects on Haiti following the earthquake that
struck the country on January 12, 2010, given the company's large
scale and financial flexibility to manage the restoration efforts.

The most recent rating action for DGL and DL was on November 23,
2009, when the rating agency assigned B1 to the company's new
notes.

Incorporated in Hamilton, Bermuda, Digicel is the largest provider
of wireless telecommunication services in the Caribbean.


DRAGON PHARMA: CEO Wants to Take Company Private, Buy All Shares
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc. said that in a letter dated January 15,
2010, Yanlin Han, Chairman and CEO of the Company, has made a non-
binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
Dragon Pharma for a price of $0.80 per share.  Dragon's common
stock quoted on OTCBB and traded on Toronto Stock Exchange closed
at $0.60 per share and at CAD $0.63 per share, respectively, on
January 22, 2010.

Dragon Pharma said in a news release Mr. Han is the largest
shareholder of the Company owning 37.95% of the total outstanding
shares.

In a Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Mr. Han said he beneficially owns an aggregate of
26,753,741 Company shares, with such number including options to
purchase 1,300,000 Shares, representing 39.1% of the outstanding
class of the Company's securities.

Mr. Han's letter indicates that his proposal is conditioned upon
satisfactory completion of due diligence, negotiation of
definitive transaction documents, receipt of the requisite
financing commitments and receipt of necessary board approval.
The Board of Directors of the Company has established a special
committee of independent directors consisting of Peter Mak,
Chairman, and Drs. Li and Frey to act on behalf of Dragon Pharma
with respect to consideration of the proposal and other strategic
alternatives.

The process of considering the proposal is only in its initial
stages and consequently no decision has been made by the special
committee of the Board in respect of Dragon Pharma's response, if
any, to the proposal. Shareholders are not being asked to take any
action with respect to the proposal at this time. There can be no
assurance that the proposed transaction or any other transaction
will be acted upon, approved or completed.

                    About Dragon Pharmaceutical

Vancouver, Canada-based Dragon Pharmaceutical Inc.(TSX: DDD;

resistance, and 7-ACA, a key intermediate to produce cephalosporin
antibiotics, and formulated cephalosporin antibiotic drugs.

                           Going Concern

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had total assets of
$167,505,000 against total liabilities of $104,432,000, resulting
in stockholders' equity of $63,073,000.  The September 30 balance
sheet showed strained liquidity: The Company had total current
assets of $47,638,000 against total current liabilities of
$84,034,000.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding short-term
loans (less than one year term) totaling $25.74 million.  The
Company believes that it will be successful in renegotiating loans
based on the assumption that the Company has enhanced its ability
to generate additional cash flow from its operation since the
loans were originally entered into, even though there is no
assurance of renewing the loans.

The Company said it has developed and is implementing a plan to
decrease its debt and increase its working capital which will
allow the Company to continue operations.  The Company plans to
seek additional equity through the conversion of some of its
liabilities and expects to raise funds through private placements
in order to support existing operations and expand the range and
scope of its business.  The Company has also significantly
increased production levels, which is expected to generate
additional cash flow.  In addition, the Company intends to
continue to renegotiate and extend loans, as required, when they
become due, as has been done in the past.

"There is no assurance that additional funds will be available for
the Company on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company
will be able to renegotiate and extend the loans.  If adequate
funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms or
the Company is unable to renegotiate or extend its loans, the
Company may be required to scale back or abandon some activities.
Management believes that actions presently taken provide the
opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.  The
Company's ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined
at this time. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern," the Company
said.

On October 9, 2009, Dragon Pharmaceutical decided not to reappoint
Ernst & Young LLP as independent accountant for the year ending
December 31, 2009.

ERICKSON RETIREMENT: Bank Lenders Assert Lien on Deposits
---------------------------------------------------------
According to an article by Eric Morath posted at The Wall Street
Journal's Bankruptcy Beat, Erickson Retirement Communities LLC's
banks say they should hold a lien against deposits elderly
residents made to ensure their continuing care.  According to the
article, Bank of America, Wells Fargo & Co. and other lenders are
balking at an attempt by the company's creditors to put those
funds out of the banks' reach.  The lenders say that loan
agreements entitle them to any cash proceeds, including the
deposits, generated from the property that secures their loans.

The article explains the loans "funded the construction of the
very same units the residents pay initial entrance deposits to
occupy," Bank of America said in court papers.

According to the article, the creditors say the deposits are not
subject to bank liens because they are part of the agreement that
allows a resident to receive continuing care from the company.  A
court hearing on the matter is scheduled for next week.

The article notes that when new residents move into one of
Erickson's 20 retirement communities, they make an initial
entrance deposit that allows them to occupy a unit in the complex.
The deposits are sizable, typically between $100,000 and $600,000,
and are often paid for with the proceeds from the sale of the
resident's former home, according to court papers.  Erickson, on
average, collects $13.4 million in such deposits per month.  The
deposits, less unpaid care and services bills, are refunded to
residents when they leave the community or to their heirs upon
death.

FAIRPOINT COMMS: Mediation With MPUC on Rebate Commences
--------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of the Maine Public Utilities Commission, Judge
Burton Lifland of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York amended the Court's January 12, 2010
Order referring to the directed mediation with respect to the
Debtors' motion to compel MPUC to comply with the Stay Order and
its related issues.

Representing the MPUC, Robert J. Keach, Esq., at Bernstein, Shur,
Sawyer & Nelson, P.A., in Portland, Maine, reminded the Court
that Rule 3.2 of the Mediation Rules of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
of the Southern District of New York provides that "[a]
representative of each party should attend the mediation
conference, and must have complete authority to negotiate all
disputed amounts and issues."

Mr. Keach related that in deference to the Court's Mediation
Order and in order to provide a person with negotiating authority
within the limits of Maine law, the MPUC has appointed a member
of its regulatory staff as a representative to attend the
mediation and facilitate negotiation of a settlement of the
issues raised by the Debtors' Motion to Compel.

The representative appointed by the MPUC, however, has no ability
to bind the MPUC or its Commissioners to any settlement or
decision negotiated during the course of the mediation pursuant o
the Maine statutes, Mr. Keach noted.

The MPUC approval of any settlement recommended by the
representative would occur, if at all, only after notice and, to
the extent required by Section 1321, Chapter 35-A of the Maine
Revised Statutes Annotated, a public hearing, whereby the parties
and the advisory staff could take positions contrary to the
recommendation of the representative, Mr. Keach elaborated.  At
that public hearing, the Debtors are free to litigate the matter
consistent with MPUC regulations and all rights are reserved.

Section 1321, Chapter 35-A of the MRSA is a Maine statute that
governs modification of existing orders, Mr. Keach clarified.

Accordingly, upon consideration of the MPUC's request, the Court
issued a Consent Order amending the Mediation Order, providing
that:

  * The authority of the representative appointed by the MPUC to
    represent the MPUC in the mediation, to the extent
    inconsistent with Rule 3.2 of the Mediation Rules of the
    U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
    York, insofar as Rule 3.2 requires that a representative of
    each party have complete authority to negotiate all disputed
    amounts and issues, will nonetheless be considered in
    compliance with the Mediation Order;

  * Nothing in the Mediation Order will be construed to require
    that the representative can bind the MPUC Commissioners to
    any negotiated settlement or to limit the MPUC
    Commissioners' authority to approve or reject any
    settlement, decision, or resolution recommended to it by its
    representative, after notice and hearing consistent with
    Maine law and rules and regulations of the MPUC; and

  * The clarifying amendment to the Mediation Order will not be
    construed to imply or determine whether the Court or the
    MPUC has primary or exclusive jurisdiction to authorize or
    approve any transaction or action that may be the subject of
    any settlement, or that the Debtors or other parties may
    propose.

                       Parties Stipulate

In compliance with the Court's recent Consent Order amending its
prior order referring the parties' dispute for mediation, the
Debtors and the MPUC stipulate that:

  (1) The Parties will conduct a mediation in Portland, Maine,
      on January 26, 2010, and February 1, 2010;

  (2) Jerrol A. Crouter of Drummond Woodsum & MacMahon will
      serve as the mediator;

  (3) The mediator will be compensated by the Parties for his
      services at a rate of $300 per hour;

  (4) The mediation will be conducted in accordance with the
      rules and procedures of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
      Southern District of New York.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: Deadline to Object to Claims Moved to June 27
------------------------------------------------------------
Federal-Mogul Corp. and its units sought and obtained an order
from Judge Judith Fitzgerald of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware extending the period within which they may
object to proofs of claim or interest and any administrative
claims until June 27, 2010.

The Claims Objection Deadline and the Administrative Claims
Objection Deadline expired December 27, 2009.  The Debtors also
asked that the relief requested be without prejudice to their
right to seek further extensions of both deadlines.

James E. O'Neill, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, asserted that extending both Objection
Deadlines is necessary and in the best interests of the Debtors
and their bankruptcy estates because the Debtors have received
more than 11,000 proofs of claim, as well as a number of purported
administrative claims filed in early 2008.  Since the last request
for extensions of the Objection Deadlines, the Debtors have filed
two additional omnibus claims objections, which collectively
covered 15 unsecured claims against the estates.  Several claims
of the Internal Revenue Service have also been withdrawn during
this period.

As a result of the Debtors' efforts, there are few prepetition
claims that remain outstanding and unresolved against the estates,
Mr. O'Neill disclosed.  He related that certain of those claims
have been objected to and the objections have been consensually
continued as they relate to three claims of American International
Group, Inc.  The Debtors have asked for additional documentation
from AIG.

Another claims objection, against the prepetition claims of Pepsi
Americas, Inc., remains under advisement with the Court following
briefing and argument, Mr. O'Neill also revealed.  He added that
several other outstanding claims are the subject of ongoing
settlement discussions, which the Debtors are hopeful will result
in consensual resolutions.

The Debtors have made similar progress in reviewing and addressing
Administrative Claims, and the overwhelming majority of claims
received postpetition are claims that have been or will be
satisfied in the ordinary course of the Debtors' business, like
claims of state taxing authorities or postpetition vendor claims,
Mr. O'Neill informed the Court.  Those claims, he asserted, were
not subject to the Administrative Claims Bar Date, and have been
or will be addressed by the Debtors in accordance with their
customary business practices, without the filing of objections
with the Court.

Even with the Debtors' efforts, there remain certain
Administrative Claims that need to be addressed, and the Debtors
are attempting to resolve the claims consensually where possible,
and to prepare objections to the claims where a consensual
resolution is not possible, Mr. O'Neill argued.  He explained that
absent the relief sought, the Debtors will be required to prepare
and file multiple objections to pending Claims and Administrative
Claims, which would require a considerable expenditure of
resources and would inevitably prove disruptive to ongoing efforts
to reach consensual resolutions of those claims.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: FMC & USW Agree to Revised Pact for Van Wert Unit
----------------------------------------------------------------
United Steelworkers Local 14742 in Van Wert, Ohio, has accepted
for the second time a proposed contract from Federal-Mogul
Corporation, The Times Bulletin reported on November 16, 2009.

The new contract is a four-year deal that replaces USW's old one
that would have expired on November 8.  Due to a misunderstanding
on the wages' effective dates, a second vote became necessary.
The Union's local president, Pat Herman, has told the Times that
the workers' attitude toward the deal did not change much with the
second balloting.

According to the Times, Mr. Herman noted that parties have worked
toward a suitable deal that would keep the Van Wert plant
operating.  Among the key issues was health care coverage.

"We did come out of this without as good of an insurance benefit
as we had," said Mr. Herman was quoted by the Times.  "But we were
able to get some wages over the life of the contract to try to
help offset part of that.  Hopefully for the long-term of the
factory for everybody's sake, it's a package that is fair to both
sides that will keep the plant open for a long time," he
continued.

ratings on the company's senior secured debt; the recovery ratings
are unchanged.  The outlook is negative.  "The ratings reflect
Federal-Mogul's weak business risk profile as
a major participant in the highly competitive global auto
industry, and its aggressive financial risk profile," S&P said.


FILENE'S BASEMENT: Plan Confirmed; To Begin Initial Distribution
----------------------------------------------------------------
Alan Cohen, Chairman of Abacus Advisors LLC, on Tuesday announced
that FB Liquidating Estate (formerly known as Filene's Basement,
Inc.) confirmed its Chapter 11 plan and will soon make an initial
distribution to unsecured creditors of the bankrupt retailer.

Filene's Basement's trade name, leases and other assets were sold
to an affiliate of Syms Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMS) in June for
approximately $64 million.

Abacus' announcement follows the confirmation of the Joint Plan of
Liquidation of FB Liquidating Estate by Judge Mary F. Walrath in
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

"In the coming months, we expect to make additional distributions
that will ultimately result in the payment of 100% of secured,
administrative and priority claims, and 75% or more for the
$57.0 million in general unsecured claims," said Cohen, who with
the assistance of Abacus Advisors, has been acting as Filene's
Chief Restructuring Officer since March 30 of this year.  "These
latest developments, coupled with the Syms acquisition, point to a
gratifying outcome in this case.  Working with all key
stakeholders, we were able to maximize recoveries for unsecured
creditors while keeping an iconic name in off-price retailing
alive and preserving the jobs of the majority of Filene's
employees."

Filene's Basement voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on May 4, 2009.  The Syms affiliate
acquired substantially all of the company's assets on June 18,
2009, under a transaction executed under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code, buying leases for 23 Filene's store locations and
a distribution center, along with inventory, fixed assets and
equipment at those locations, as well as certain Filene's
contracts, intellectual property, trade names and related assets.
Syms currently operates Filene's Basement locations in nine
eastern and Midwestern states and the District of Columbia.

FONTAINEBLEAU LV: DWI Holdings Wants to Sell Inventory
------------------------------------------------------
DWI Holdings, Inc., asks the Court for an order authorizing it to
sell certain inventory made for Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

The Debtors contracted with DWI to manufacture a variety of bed
sheets, shams and pillowcases for the casino and hotel project in
Las Vegas.

Certain of the items were patterned specifically for the Debtors
and in which the Debtor may hold certain design, copyright or
other proprietary interests -- the "Patterned Inventory."

The Patterned Inventory was manufactured to the Debtors'
specifications for delivery in July 2009 pursuant to Debtors'
purchase order.  DWI currently holds $369,425 of Patterned
Inventory for the Debtors in a warehouse in Las Vegas.

Based on the purchase order, the Debtors scheduled DWI as a
creditor of the Debtors with a $1,392,921 claim.

DWI seeks the authority to sell the Patterned Inventory for the
best available price in order to mitigate its damages.  DWI says
the sale of the Patterned Inventory will reduce DWI's storage
costs and DWI will credit its receipts from the sale first against
the costs of sale and then against its claim against the Debtors.

The Debtors did not schedule any design, copyright or other
proprietary interest in the Patterned Inventory, and DWI does not
believe that any interest, if one exists, has anything more than
nominal value to Debtor.  The Debtors have also not paid and have
not requested delivery of the Patterned Inventory, DWI says.

GENERAL GROWTH: Wins Nod for Settlement With Downrite Engineering
-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Growth Properties, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates
obtained approval from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York for Debtor West Kendall Holdings,
LLC, to enter into a settlement agreement with Downrite
Engineering Corp.

West Kendall owns a tract of land known as KendallTown Center
located at 15775 SW 96th Street, in Miami, Florida.  In May 2008,
West Kendall and Downrite entered into an Owner-Contractor
Agreement requiring Downrite to provide improvements related to
the Kendall Drive Widening Project in Miami-Dade County, in
Miami, Florida.  Under the Contract and Florida law, Hartford
Fire Insurance Company issued surety performance and payment
bonds, dated March 3, 2008, on behalf of West Kendall.

For the period April 1 through 15, 2009, the Debtors withheld
$582,519 as retainage on the Downrite Contract.  In October 2009,
Downrite made a demand on Hartford for payment under the Bond for
the prepetition retainage of $582,519.  In November 2009,
Downrite brought an action against Hartford seeking to enforce
its claim for payment under the Bond in the Circuit Court of the
Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida.

In June 2009, at Downrite's request, Hartford paid it a total
payment of $562,597 under the Bond and took an assignment of any
and all liens placed on the Project by Downrite.  Subsequently,
Hartford filed a construction lien at Kendall Town Center for
$562,597.

To maintain clear title and facilitate the planned sale and
conveyance of the various parcels at the Kendall Town Center,
West Kendall has sought a waiver of various lien rights from
Downrite in exchange for payment of the Downrite Claim. In this
light, the Debtors and Downrite entered into the settlement
agreement, which provides these salient terms:

  (a) Upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtor
      agrees to pay Downrite the full amount of its claim
      for $582,519;

  (b) Downrite agrees to dismiss the Downrite Lawsuit against
      Hartford Fire Insurance;

  (c) Downrite agrees to provide any assistance and services
      reasonably necessary under the Contract to complete the
      Project.  Downrite may invoice West Kendall and receive
      additional payment for any services required;

  (d) Downrite agrees to waive any and all claims to prospective
      Attorneys' fees, interest and penalties associated with
      the Claim;

  (e) Downrite agrees to provide, upon receipt of the settlement
      payment, a conditional final lien waiver in an amount
      equal to the settlement payment and will execute a full
      waiver of lien for Parcels A, C and F of the Town Center
      property;

  (f) Downrite agrees to satisfy all liens or claims of its
      laborers, suppliers or subcontractors arising from work
      performed on the Project through the effective date of the
      Settlement Agreement;

  (g) Downrite agrees to execute a Certificate of Payment
      necessary to convey Parcel E of the Town Center property;

  (h) Downrite agrees to indemnify West Kendall against any
      claims or causes of action asserted by Downrite in
      connection with any claim of any claim of nonpayment,
      personal injury, property damage and/or tort claims
      relating to the Project or the Contract up to the
      effective date of the Settlement Agreement; and

  (i) Downrite's Claim No. 2148 is deemed resolved and will be
      deemed expunged upon Downrite's receipt of the settlement
      payment.

Sylvia A. Mayer, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, asserts that allowing West Kendall to pay the Downrite
Claim under the Settlement Agreement will (1) avoid additional
fees and interest that may accrue in connection with Downrite's
claim under the Bond; (2) avoid clouding the title of the various
Kendall Town Center parcels; and (3) resolve the Downrite Lawsuit
against Hartford.

GENERAL MOTORS: Old GM Presents Dispute Resolution Protocol
-----------------------------------------------------------
Following the passage of the November 30, 2009 deadline for filing
of proofs of claim against Motors Liquidation Company and its
affiliates, more than 68,000 proofs of claim remain either
unliquidated or have an excessive claim amount, which undermine
the Debtors' duty to distribute meaningful value to their
creditors in an acceptable timeframe.  The magnitude of the
Unliquidated/Litigation Claims, with an aggregate claim amount of
approximately $217 billion, will drain the Debtors' remaining
assets and jeopardize creditor recoveries if not resolved
expeditiously and economically, according to Harvey R. Miller,
Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York.

By this motion, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to
implement alternative dispute resolution procedures to facilitate
the efficient resolution of each unliquidated or litigation claim
that they designate without full-blown litigation, while
safeguarding both their procedural rights and those of the holders
of Designated Claims.

Mr. Miller says the proposed ADR Procedures provide a structure
that will (i) promote direct settlement discussions and exchange
of information between the parties; and (ii) absent a settlement
as a result of direct discussions between the parties, promote
resolution of the Designated Claims through mediation or
arbitration with the assistance of a neutral outside party.

Absent the ADR Procedures, the Debtors may be forced to
individually litigate the Unliquidated/Litigation Claims, which,
as a result, would (i) delay the resolution of the Chapter 11
cases and the reconciliation of the Claims possibly for years,
(ii) deplete the assets of the estates, (iii) reduce initial
distribution to holders of allowed claims, and (iv) consume
substantial resources of the judiciary, Mr. Miller points out.

                  Summary of ADR Procedures

Initially, the ADR Procedures require the implementation of the
Offer Exchange Procedures, under which the Debtors may designate a
Claim for resolution by serving, among other things, a notice that
the Designated Claim has been submitted to the ADR Procedures.
The ADR Notice will (i) request that the Designated Claimant
verify or, as needed, correct, clarify, or supplement certain
information regarding the Designated Claim; and (ii) include an
offer by the Debtors to settle the Designated Claim.

In response, the Claimant may accept or reject the Offer coupled
with a counteroffer.  The Debtors must respond to any Counteroffer
within 15 days after receipt of the Counteroffer by returning a
written response.  If the Debtors make a Revised Settlement Offer
by the Response Deadline, the Designated Claimant may accept the
Revised Settlement Offer by providing the Debtors with a written
statement of acceptance.

In the absence of a settlement at the conclusion of the Offer
Exchange Procedures, Designated Claims will be submitted to non-
binding mediation.  If mediation fails, the parties, at their
consent, will be subjected to binding arbitration.

The Debtors will be requested to seek Court approval for
settlements of claims, if any, under or in connection with the ADR
Procedures.  Unresolved Designated Claims, if any, will proceed to
litigation in the Court.

A Designated Claimant will be enjoined from commencing or
continuing any action seeking to establish, liquidate, collect on,
or otherwise enforce the Designated Claim.

         Retention of American Arbitration Association

In an effort to minimize costs for the Designated Claimants, the
Debtors are prepared to conduct both mediation and arbitration
proceedings in (i) New York, New York; (ii) Detroit, Michigan;
(iii) Dallas, Texas; and (iv) San Francisco, California.

Prior to seeking Court approval of the ADR Procedures, the Debtors
conducted a general search of arbitration service providers and
selected the American Arbitration Association to conduct all
arbitrations under the ADR Procedures based upon the firm's
national reputation and expertise in alternative dispute
resolution.

Accordingly, the Debtors seek the Court's approval of their
retention of AAA to provide services to implement the ADR
Procedures.

In addition, the Debtors "are currently evaluating potential
mediators to serve on a panel of mediators at each of the
Mediation and Arbitration Locations, which proposed schedule will
be filed with the Court, Mr. Miller relates.

                      Capping Procedure

The Debtors determined that the estate's interest is in maximizing
initial distributions to holders of allowed claims and minimizing
the segregation of estate assets in disputed claims reserves.

In this regard, holders of Unliquidated/Litigation Claims who are
willing to review their Claims and cap them at a reasonable amount
would be providing a service to all other creditors and should be
incentivized to do so.

Accordingly, the Debtors seek to establish the Capping Procedure
whereby holders of Unliquidated/Litigation Claims who agree to cap
their total claim amount at a level acceptable to the Debtors will
have the first opportunity to attempt consensual resolution and
allowance of their claims under the ADR Procedures.

Specifically, the Capping Procedure -- which aims to accelerate
the transfer of value to the Debtors' creditors -- provide that:

  (a) Within 30 days from the entry of the Court's approval of
      the Debtors' request, Unliquidated/Litigation Claimholders
      may send a letter to the Debtors indicating a willingness
      to cap its Unliquidated/Litigation Claim at a reduced
      amount.

  (b) Upon receipt of a Capping Proposal Letter, the Debtors
      will designate the Claim in accordance with the ADR
      Procedures and indicate acceptance of the Claim Amount
      Cap, during which (i) the Claim Amount Cap will become
      binding on the claimant, and (ii) the ultimate value of
      the Claim will not exceed the Claim Amount Cap.  To the
      extent the Debtors accept the Claim Amount Cap, the
      Debtors will pay for all of the mediator's fees and costs
      associated with any subsequent mediation.

  (c) The Debtors will notify the claimant if they opt to reject
      the Claim Amount Cap.

"The Debtors are hopeful that the Procedures will create an
environment where a substantial portion of the
Unliquidated/Litigation Claims can be resolved with little
expenditure of resources that otherwise would be dilutive of
creditors' recoveries," Mr. Miller tells the Court.

A full-text copy of the ADR and Capping Procedures is available at
no charge at http://bankrupt.com/misc/GMADRProcedures.pdf

According to Mr. Miller, the Debtors have consulted with the
statutory committee of unsecured creditors and with the self-
styled Ad Hoc Committee of Consumer Victims of General Motors,
whose members include tort and personal injury claimants
throughout the country, to address their concerns in advance.

The Court will convene a hearing on February 10, 2010, to consider
the Debtors' request.  Objections, if any, must be filed by
February 3.

                           Objections

(a) Texas Comptroller

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts -- which has filed
against the Debtors claims exceeding $62 million based on state
tax audits -- complains that the ADR Procedures do not comply with
federal and state law governing tax audits in bankruptcy.
Instead, the ADR Procedures "would reverse the statutory
requirements for completing tax audits," Texas Comptroller
Assistant Attorney General Mark Browning, Esq., contends.

Instead of being required pursuant to provide necessary documents
to tax auditors under Section 362(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code,
the Debtors could instead designate the Tax Claims as being among
claims subject to mandatory mediation and, as a result, place upon
Texas Comptroller the initial burden of submitting documentation
to support their Claims in mediation, Mr. Browning asserts.

While mediation of tax audit claims may be appropriate for
addressing claims, Tax Claims "are not presently ripe for
mediation due to the Debtor's own failures to provide requested
documents," Mr. Browning adds.

Accordingly, the Texas Comptroller asks the Court to direct that
Tax Claims be carved out of the types of "designated claims" under
the ADR Procedures, or alternatively, implement that mandatory
mediation of tax audit claims be deferred until after the Debtors
have complied with statutory requirements to provide documentation
to auditors.

(b) Washington Revenue Department

The State of Washington Department of Revenue acknowledges the
benefits of the ADR Procedures but complains that the Debtors
"[have] not demonstrated the need for the process at this time."

Zachary Mosner, Esq., assistant attorney general at the Bankruptcy
and Collections Unit in Washington Revenue Department, emphasizes
that it would not be efficient or economical to force the ADR
process "at a time when the Debtors control the flow of
information and the parties would need to bargain on wholly
speculative positions."

With respect to the proofs of claim it filed in the Chapter 11
cases, there are "outstanding audit compliance issues" which
require the cooperation of the Debtors.  Until the Debtors provide
the documents, it is impossible to enter into good-faith
negotiations, Mr. Mosner adds.

At the very least, the imposition of the ADR Procedures should
await a certification by the Debtors of full tax discovery
compliance on outstanding audits.  In addition, that Certification
should also require some elaboration of good-faith efforts to
settle claims, Mr. Mosner says.

Mr. Mosner opines that a maximum time period should be set for tax
discovery completion and a 60-day minimum claims negotiation
process should follow before the Court considers ADR on a case-by-
case basis.

GREEKTOWN HOLDINGS: Bankruptcy Court Confirms Noteholder Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Walter Shapero of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan formally inked a confirmation order
of the Second Amended Joint Plans of Reorganization proposed by
(i) certain noteholders, which include Manulife Global Fund U.S.
Bond Fund, John Hancock II Strategic Income Fund, and Oppenheimer
Strategic Income Fund, and Sola Ltd.; (ii) the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors; and (ii) Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as indenture trustee, for Greektown Casino Holdings,
Inc. and its debtor affiliates on January 22, 2010.

Judge Shapero held that the Noteholder Plan satisfied the
confirmation requirements under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

The Noteholder Plan contemplates the transfer ownership of
Greektown Casino from the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians to certain new investors, the largest of which are MFC
Global Investment Management, Oppenheimer Funds, Inc., Brigade
Capital Management and Solus Alternative Asset Management.  The
Plan also wipes out half of Greektown Casino's debt.

Under the Plan, Greektown Casino will receive up to $400 million
in exit financing and about $200 million in new equities offering
from the noteholders.  Holders of general unsecured claims will
receive their pro rata portion of $10 million in cash.  The
Casino's current owners, the Chippewa Tribe, nor the Casino's
former partners, Monroe Partners, L.L.C. and Kewadin Greektown
Casino, will not get any money under the plan, The Detroit News
notes.

The Noteholder Plan was the third Chapter 11 plan put forth
before the Court overseeing Greektown Casino's bankruptcy
proceedings.

In an interview with The Detroit News, Charles M. Moore,
Greektown Casino's lead restructuring adviser says the Company is
"now approaching the finish line for its exit from bankruptcy."

"Twenty months of hard work by all parties has finally paid off,"
The Detroit Free Press quoted the Company's counsel, Daniel J.
Weiner, Esq., of Schafer and Weiner PLLC, in Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan, as saying.  "The casino has been significantly de-
levered."

Joel Applebaum, Esq., at Clark Hill PLC, in Birmingham, Michigan,
who represents the Creditors Committee, maintained that the
Noteholder Plan will offer unsecured creditors more than previous
plans, according to the report.

However, the Noteholder Plan still needs to be approved by state
regulators, particularly the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

A full-text copy of the signed Noteholder Plan Confirmation Order
is available for free at:

           http://bankrupt.com/misc/GrktnConfORD.pdf

                      Tribe Not Giving Up

Before the formal Confirmation Order was entered by the Court,
the Tribe supplemented its original objection to the Plan by
pointing the Court's attention to an exculpation clause in the
Noteholder Plan, which states that:

  "Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, effective as of
  the Effective Date, no Released Party shall have or incur, and
  each Released Party is hereby released and exculpated from,
  any claim, obligation, cause of action, or liability for any
  Exculpated Claim, except for gross negligence or willful
  Misconduct . . ."

The Tribe argued that the Exculpation Clause:

  (a) should not apply to any prepetition conduct of any
      Released Party;

  (b) should not apply to any actions or omissions of the
      Released Parties related to the filing of the Chapter 11
      Cases; and

  (c) should only apply to certain released parties that satisfy
      certain standards.

David A. Lerner, Esq., at Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, contended
that an exculpation provision does not affect the liability of
parties per se, but rather states the standard of liability for
parties who have played a critical role in a debtor's
restructuring and the formulation of a plan of reorganization.

Mr. Lerner asserted the Exculpation Provision in the Noteholder
Plan is too broad and if it were to be allowed, it should be
limited to acts or omissions related to the confirmation and
consummation of the Noteholder Plan only.

The Court subsequently ruled that it will determine by subsequent
order whether the Exculpation Provision extends to actions by
certain released parties with respect to prepetition
representations and determinations made in the filing of the
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

Joe McCoy, chairman of the Tribe, in a statement, said it will
continue to question the feasibility of the Noteholder Plan until
it becomes effective and explore options to maintain ownership of
the Casino.  Mr. McCoy particularly cited the regulatory
approvals that the Noteholder Plan Proponents still need to
acquire.

As previously reported, the Noteholder Plan will not become
effective unless certain conditions are met including approval
from the Michigan Gaming and Control Board for the 5% tax
rollback awarded to Detroit's other casinos, MGM Grand Detroit
and MotorCity Casino.  The MGCB approval is conditioned on
Greektown Casino paying the City of Detroit $15,300,000 for the
tax rollback.

GREEKTOWN HOLDINGS: Wells Fargo Takes Over As Agent for DIP Loans
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Greektown Holdings LLC and its units seek the Court's authority to
enter into a second amendment of their prepetition credit
agreement dated December 2005 in connection with the assumption by
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, of the role of
administrative agent.

The Prepetition Credit Agreement was entered into by Greektown
Holdings, L.L.C. and Greektown Holdings II, Inc., as borrowers;
various financial institutions, as lenders; Keybank National
Association, as existing issuer; National City Bank of the
Midwest, as replacement issuer; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and
Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger, sole book runner and
syndication agent, as administrative agent; and Wachovia
Securities, National City Bank of the Midwest, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association and Fifth Third Bank, as co-documentation
agents on December 5, 2005.  The Credit Agreement has been
initially amended on April 13, 2007.

Daniel J. Weiner, Esq., at Schafer and Weiner PLLC, in Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan, tells the Court that on January 4, 2010, the
Debtors and the Prepetition Lenders agreed to modify certain
provisions of the Prepetition Credit Agreement related to the
Prepetition Agent's resignation rights and obligations to induce
Wells Fargo to assume the role of Administrative Agent.  Wells
Fargo is expected to officially assume the role of Prepetition
Agent on or about January 29, 2010, pursuant to a certain "side
letter."

The Amended Prepetition Credit Agreement provides that Wells
Fargo may resign as Administrative Agent at any time upon at
least 30 days' prior written notice to the Debtor Borrowers and
the Lenders and that resignation will become effective on the
30th day after the date of the notice.  On the Resignation
Effective Date, Wells Fargo, in its capacity as Administrative
Agent will be discharged from all its duties and obligations
under the Loan Documents.

A full-text copy of the Side Letter is available for free at:

A full-text copy of the Second Amended Prepetition Credit
Agreement is available for free at:

         http://bankrupt.com/misc/GrktnAmPreCredAgrmt.pdf

The Debtors have strong business reasons to enter into the Second
Amendment because it facilitates the transfer of the prepetition
lender agency, which has arisen in connection with the
refinancing of the Debtors' DIP indebtedness, Mr. Weiner
contends.  He explains that the refinancing of the DIP
indebtedness has not only lowered the Debtors debt service
obligations, but has also facilitated the confirmation of a plan
of reorganization that will fully repay secured creditors in full
and pay other unsecured creditors significant distributions in
cash and equity.

In separate filings, the Debtors sought and obtained a Court
order granting a request to hear the Prepetition Credit Agreement
Amendment Request on January 27, 2010.  Subsequently, however,
the Debtors and Wells Fargo Bank entered into a Court-approved
stipulation for the adjournment of the hearing to February 5,

HARBORWALK LP: Files for Chapter 11 in Houston
----------------------------------------------
Harbor Walk LP filed a Chapter 11 petition on Jan. 25 in Houston
(Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 10-80043)

Harbor Walk LP is the developer of a 380-lot master planned
community on West Galveston Bay in Texas.  The project was begun
in 2002, and 275 lots were sold.  The property was damaged by
Hurricane Ike in September 2008.  The project includes a yacht
club and a 150-slip marina.

The petition says that assets and debts range from $10 million to
$50 million.  The Debtor stated that it owes $30 million on a
secured development loan to BBVA Compass.

According to Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News, the development
filed for bankruptcy reorganization when the lender refused to
allow further draws on a credit.  The Company believes the unsold
properties and other assets are worth more than the secured debt.

Marcy E. Kurtz, Esq., at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, represents the
Debtor.


IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES: Nasdaq Suspends Trading Effective Jan. 27
--------------------------------------------------------------
Imperial Industries Inc. has withdrawn its appeal of the previous
NASDAQ notice of the delisting of its common stock.  Accordingly,
NASDAQ has notified the Company that its shares will be suspended
from trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market effective at the open of
business on January 27, 2010 and that thereafter NASDAQ will file
a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

The Company received a prior Staff Determination Notice from
NASDAQ stating that its plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ
Listing Rules related to maintaining a minimum stockholders'
equity of $2,500,000 was denied and as a result, the Company's
common stock would be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Markets.

In response to the notice and pursuant to applicable NASDAQ rules,
the Company appealed the determination and was granted a hearing
before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel on January 28, 2010,
to request NASDAQ's continued listing of the Company's common
stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  The appeal stayed the
delisting of its common stock pending the hearing.  The Company
determined to withdraw its appeal as it became apparent the
Company would be unable to provide a plan to the NASDAQ hearings
panel suitable to meet the minimum requirements for continued
listing of its shares.

The Company has begun the process to have its shares of common
stock quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board following
cessation of listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  However,
there can be no assurance when such shares will be eligible for
obtaining quotes on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, or if at
all.

Imperial Industries, Inc. -- http://www.imperialindustries.com/--
is a building products company.  The Company sells products
primarily in the State of Florida and to a certain extent the rest
of the Southeastern United States with facilities in the State of
Florida.  The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and
distribution of stucco, plaster and roofing products to building
materials dealers, contractors and others through its subsidiary,
Premix-Marbletite Manufacturing Co.


IMPLANT SCIENCES: Bags $6 Million Contract with Indian Government
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Implant Sciences Corporation on January 19, 2010, unveiled a
contract totaling approximately $6 million for its Quantum
Sniffer(TM) QS-H150 Portable Explosives Detectors and associated
support.  The contract was awarded by the Government of India, for
use by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Force Protection and
Public Safety applications throughout the country.

Glenn D. Bolduc, President and CEO of Implant Sciences, commented,
"This contract award is significant in many ways.  Most
importantly, it allows Implant Sciences to continue to contribute
to worldwide anti-terrorism efforts.  We are also very pleased
that this award represents the largest single order in the
Company's history."  The Company expects to ship the entire order
within the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.

Jeff Tehan, Implant Sciences' Vice President of Marketing and
Sales, added, "Implant Sciences is the sole contract awardee after
an arduous competitive evaluation that started over 24 months ago.
We are extremely proud of this, the validation it represents, and
the follow-on opportunities it creates. To best support this
contract and others in India and South Asia, Implant Sciences has
partnered with LNG Security Services of Delhi, who will provide
warranty and post-warranty support, as well as operator and
administrator training.

The QS-H150 offers compelling technical, operational, and
competitive advantages.  Among the most significant are non-
contact sample collection; non-radioactive ionization;
simultaneous detection and identification of explosives
particulate and vapor; continuous self-calibration; and ultra-fast
clear down (cycle time).  The substance library of the QS-H150 is
the broadest in the industry and includes not only standard
military and commercial explosives, but also a wide variety of
improvised and homemade explosives (IED's and HME's).  The library
is also easily expanded as new threats emerge. These advantages
offer an extremely versatile solution, and can be rapidly deployed
to greatly increase the number of items screened, effectively
becoming a force multiplier.

On January 19, 2010, the Company held a press conference at the
NASDAQ MarketSite in New York to discuss the $6 million contact
awarded by the Government of India.  A full-text copy of the
Company's script read at the press conference is available at no

                      About Implant Sciences

Implant Sciences Corporation (OBB: IMSC.OB) --
http://www.implantsciences.com/-- develops, manufactures and
sells sensors and systems for the security, safety and defense
(SS&D) industries.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $6,846,000 in total
assets against $12,985,000 in total liabilities, $5,000,000 in
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and $378,000 in Series F
Convertible Preferred Stock, resulting in stockholders' deficit of
$11,517,000.

In its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the September 2009
period, Implant Sciences said it has suffered recurring losses
from operations.  Implant Sciences said there can be no assurances
that its forecasted results will be achieved or that it will be
able to raise additional capital necessary to operate its
business.  Implant Sciences said these conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on January 15, 2010,
Implant Sciences renegotiated its credit agreements with its
senior secured investor, DMRJ Group LLC.  DMRJ increased Implant
Sciences' line of credit from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000; extended
the maturity of all of Implant Sciences' indebtedness from
December 10, 2009 to June 10, 2010; waived all existing defaults
through the new maturity date; reduced the interest rate payable
on Implant Sciences' obligations to 15% per annum; and removed all
profit sharing arrangements from the agreements.  Implant
Sciences' total indebtedness to DMRJ, including all principal and
accrued interest, now stands at approximately $7,570,000.


INTERPUBLIC GROUP: Moody's Retains 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service commented that The Interpublic Group of
Companies, Inc.'s Ba3 Corporate Family Rating and positive outlook
remain unchanged following the company's announcement that it has
entered into an amendment to its $335 million revolving credit
facility (expires July 2011), relaxing the maximum leverage and
minimum EBITDA covenants.

The last rating action on IPG was on June 8, 2009, when Moody's
assigned a Ba3 rating to IPG's new senior unsecured notes.

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

The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc., with its headquarters in
New York is among the world's largest advertising, marketing and
corporate communications holding companies in the world.  Revenues
and EBITDA (incorporating Moody's standard adjustments) for the
LTM period ended 09/30/2009 were $6.1 billion and $986 million
respectively.


JETBLUE AIRWAYS: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Ratings to 'Caa1'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service raised its ratings of JetBlue Airways,
Corp.; corporate family and probability of default ratings each to
Caa1 from Caa2.  Moody's also raised by one notch, its debt
ratings on the 3.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2035
to Caa3 from Ca, the respective Class G tranches of the Enhanced
Equipment Trust Certificates Series 2004-2 to B1 from B2, and the
Spare Parts EETC to Ba1 from Ba2, the Class B tranche of the Spare
Parts EETC to B2 from B3 and the senior unsecured industrial
revenue bonds to Caa3 from Ca.  Moody's also affirmed the SGL-3
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating and changed the outlook to
positive from stable.

"The ratings upgrades reflect Moody's belief that JetBlue's
significantly improved liquidity and its ability to maintain
profitability during the challenging market conditions of 2009
indicate a lower probability of default than that implied by the
Caa2 rating category," said Moody's Senior Analyst, Jonathan Root.
JetBlue's RASM less CASM contribution is second highest of the
rated U.S. airlines, providing it some flexibility to maintain
competitive fares over the course of the cycle.

The Caa1 Corporate Family rating considers the still high leverage
and the sector's ongoing exposure to cyclical risks.  While
JetBlue demonstrated resilience in the current weak economic
environment with reported profits during 2009, it will need to
expand cash flow generation in order to support its credit profile
as the large order book is currently set to resume higher levels
of deliveries from 2011.

The positive outlook reflects Moody's belief that JetBlue can
sustain its 2009 performance and improved liquidity position in
2010.  Moody's anticipates that credit metrics will strengthen in
upcoming quarters as positive free cash flow grows.  Maintaining
yields and credit metrics as the fleet grows and the ability to
maintain flexibility with aircraft manufacturers to defer units
from the combined order book that stands at 115 aircraft at
September 30, 2009, will be important to sustaining positive
pressure on the ratings.  The ratings could be upgraded if JetBlue
sustains unrestricted cash above 20% of revenue and free cash flow
to debt above 4%.  Debt to EBITDA that is sustained at or below
6.0 times, FFO + Interest to Interest at about 2.8 times or EBITDA
margin sustained at about 18% could also result in a positive
rating action.  The outlook could be changed to stable if
operating results trail expectations such that unrestricted cash
is sustained below $700 million.  Debt to EBITDA that is sustained
in excess of 8.5 times, FFO + Interest to Interest below 1.8 times
or EBITDA margin below 15% could also result in negative ratings
actions.

The positioning of the ratings of the aircraft EETC's reflect
Moody's view that the performance and risk characteristics of
these two EETC's are similar and their loan to values approximate.

The last rating action was on October 26, 2009, when Moody's
changed the outlook to stable from negative and assigned a
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-3.

Lodgian, Inc. -- http://www.lodgian.com/-- is one of the nation's
largest independent hotel owners and operators.  The company
currently owns and manages a portfolio of 36 hotels with 6,749
rooms located in 21 states.  Of the company's 36-hotel portfolio,
17 are InterContinental Hotels Group brands (Crowne Plaza, Holiday
Inn, and Holiday Inn Express), 12 are Marriott brands (Marriott,
Courtyard by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Residence
Inn by Marriott and Fairfield Inn by Marriott), two are Hilton
brands, and four are affiliated with other nationally recognized
franchisors including Starwood, Wyndham and Carlson.  One hotel is
an independent, unbranded property, which is currently closed and
held for sale.

Lodgian had total assets of $478.39 million and total debts of
$342.60 million as of Sept. 30, 2009.

                       Going Concern Doubt

Approximately $120 million of the Company's outstanding mortgage
debt was scheduled to mature in July 2009.  The $120 million of
mortgage indebtedness, which was originated in June 2004 by
Merrill Lynch and securitized in the collateralized mortgage-
backed securities market, was divided into three pools of
indebtedness referred to by the Company as the Merrill Lynch Fixed
Rate Pools 1, 3 and 4.  The Company has reached agreements with
the special servicers of Pools 1 and 4 to extend the maturity
dates to July 1, 2010, and July 1, 2012, respectively, and the
Company is seeking to refinance Pool 1 in anticipation of the 2010
maturity date.

Pool 3, with a principal balance of $45.5 million as of
September 30, 2009, matured on October 1, 2009, following two
short-term extensions.  The extensions were intended to provide
time for the Company to reach an agreement with the special
servicer to modify Pool 3.  No agreement has been reached and Pool
3 is now in default.  Since no agreement has been reached, the
Company expects to convey the six hotels which secure Pool 3 to
the lender in full satisfaction of the debt.

In addition, the Company is in default on a loan secured by the
Crowne Plaza Worcester, MA which had a balance of $16.3 million as
of September 30, 2009.  On October 23, 2009, the Company received
notice from the lender that the mortgage had been accelerated, as
anticipated. The Company does not expect further negotiation with
the special servicer and intends to convey the hotel to the lender
in full satisfaction of the debt.

Conveying these hotels to the lenders, the severe economic
recession and the tight credit markets could also have an adverse
effect on the Company's ability to extend or refinance Pool 1 on
or prior to its maturity in July 2010.  "These factors raise
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern."


LIBBEY GLASS: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Rating on $400 Mil. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a (P)B2 rating to Libbey Glass
Inc.'s proposed $400 million senior secured note offering to be
issued under rule 144A.  The assigned rating is subject to the
receipt and review of final documentation and closing of a
proposed refinancing transaction.  At the same time, Moody's
placed Libbey Glass' Caa1 corporate family and probability of
default ratings on review for possible upgrade, and affirmed the
Caa1 rating on is existing second lien secured notes due 2011.
The company's SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity rating was
unchanged, and will be revisited upon completion of the proposed
refinancing transaction.

Proceeds from the proposed note offering, along with balance sheet
cash, will be used to repurchase the company's existing second
lien senior secured notes due 2011, redeem the $80.4 million
senior subordinated secured payment-in-kind notes due 2021, and
pay fees and expenses related to the transaction.  The notes will
be secured by a first lien on the domestic property, plant and
equipment of Libbey Glass and guarantors, and a second lien on the
collateral securing the company's proposed new $110 million asset-
based revolving credit facility (not rated by Moody's).

The review for possible upgrade was triggered by Libbey Glass'
announcement that it will issue the $400 million notes and
refinance its exiting second lien notes and PIK notes.  The
transaction, if successful, could improve the company's liquidity
position by extending its maturity profile by several years.  The
review is also consistent with Moody's view that Libbey Glass'
operating performance and metrics continue to improve, as
evidenced by the company's preliminary fourth quarter results
announced on January 22, 2009, whereby revenue, adjusted EBITDA
and free cash flow showed strong improvement.  Using these
preliminary results, Libbey Glass' debt/EBITDA, pro forma for the
refinancing transaction and October 2009 debt exchange, likely
improved to and is expected to be sustained below 6.5x from over
8.5x at the end of September 2009.

The review for possible upgrade will focus on the company's
ability to successfully complete the refinancing.  Should the
transaction close as proposed, Moody's could raise the company's
CFR to B2 with a stable outlook.

Ratings assigned:

  -- $400 million senior secured notes due 2015 at (P)B2 (LGD3,
     44%)

Ratings placed on review for possible upgrade:

  -- Corporate family rating at Caa1;
  -- Probability of default rating at Caa1

Ratings affirmed:

  -- Second lien senior secured notes due 2011 at Caa1 (LGD4,
     57%);

  -- Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL-3

Moody's previous rating action on Libbey Glass was on November 4,
2009, when the company's Caa1 corporate family rating was affirmed
and the ratings outlook changed to positive.

Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Libbey Glass Inc. is the largest
manufacturer of glass tableware in the Western Hemisphere, and one
of the largest manufacturers of glass tableware in the world.
Revenues for the year ending December 31, 2009, were approximately
$748 million.  The Company serves foodservice, retail, industrial,
and business-to-business customers in over 100 countries.  It is
the operating subsidiary of Libbey Inc.


LITHIUM TECHNOLOGY: Inks Contract with PlanetSolar to Test Battery
------------------------------------------------------------------
Theo M. M. Kremers, Chief Executive Officer of Lithium Technology
Corporation, reports that the Company has executed a contract with
PlanetSolar, which is the first initiative to sail a ship around
the world using energy produced through photovoltaic cells and
stored in lithium-ion batteries.

In a press release, the Company said PlanetSolar, the first boat
to achieve a solar-powered circumnavigation of the globe will be
using a 1.2 MWh backup battery build by LTC/Gaia using
approximately 800 Li-ion cells of 500Ah each.

The 500Ah cylindrical cells, manufactured by LTC/Gaia, using its
unique, proprietary and environmentally friendly manufacturing
process will be manufactured in its Nordhausen Germany facility.
These cells are by far the largest Li-ion cells manufactured in
the world and were developed in close cooperation with HDW-
ThyssenKrupp Shipyards.  Although the 500 Ah cells are tested,
this Li-ion battery for the PlanetSolar will be a unique concept
and it will prove the usefulness of Li-ion batteries as backup
battery for electric propulsion of vessels of different kinds.

To promote the PlanetSolar project and sustainable development,
the first solar-powered circumnavigation of the globe will be
preceded by a touring exhibition in the form of the "PlanetSolar
village". After a roadshow in Switzerland, the itinerant Village
will follow the European tour of the boat from Hambourg to
Marseille, through London and Paris.  Then, in 2011, during the
world tour, the Village will make a stop in cities like New-York,
San Francisco, Dubai and Shanghai.

                    About Lithium Technology

Based in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, Lithium Technology
Corporation is engaged in continuing contract development and
limited volume production, in both the United States and Germany,
of large format lithium-ion rechargeable batteries used as power
sources in advanced applications in the national security,
transportation and stationary power markets.  The Company has
moved from a development and pilot-line production company to a
small production business with its lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $10,547,000 in total assets
against total current liabilities of $12,691,000, and long term
debt of $12,231,000, resulting in stockholders' deficit of
$14,375,000.

Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial operating
losses and expect to incur additional operating losses over the
next several years.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $144,603,000.  The Company has financed
operations since inception primarily through equity financings,
loans from shareholders and other related parties, loans from
silent partners and bank borrowings secured by assets.  The
Company said that its need to raise additional capital to meet
working capital needs raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern.

Lodgian, Inc. -- http://www.lodgian.com/-- is one of the nation's
largest independent hotel owners and operators.  The company
currently owns and manages a portfolio of 36 hotels with 6,749
rooms located in 21 states.  Of the company's 36-hotel portfolio,
17 are InterContinental Hotels Group brands (Crowne Plaza, Holiday
Inn, and Holiday Inn Express), 12 are Marriott brands (Marriott,
Courtyard by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Residence
Inn by Marriott and Fairfield Inn by Marriott), two are Hilton
brands, and four are affiliated with other nationally recognized
franchisors including Starwood, Wyndham and Carlson.  One hotel is
an independent, unbranded property, which is currently closed and
held for sale.

Lodgian had total assets of $478.39 million and total debts of
$342.60 million as of Sept. 30, 2009.

                       Going Concern Doubt

Approximately $120 million of the Company's outstanding mortgage
debt was scheduled to mature in July 2009.  The $120 million of
mortgage indebtedness, which was originated in June 2004 by
Merrill Lynch and securitized in the collateralized mortgage-
backed securities market, was divided into three pools of
indebtedness referred to by the Company as the Merrill Lynch Fixed
Rate Pools 1, 3 and 4.  The Company has reached agreements with
the special servicers of Pools 1 and 4 to extend the maturity
dates to July 1, 2010, and July 1, 2012, respectively, and the
Company is seeking to refinance Pool 1 in anticipation of the 2010
maturity date.

Pool 3, with a principal balance of $45.5 million as of
September 30, 2009, matured on October 1, 2009, following two
short-term extensions.  The extensions were intended to provide
time for the Company to reach an agreement with the special
servicer to modify Pool 3.  No agreement has been reached and Pool
3 is now in default.  Since no agreement has been reached, the
Company expects to convey the six hotels which secure Pool 3 to
the lender in full satisfaction of the debt.

In addition, the Company is in default on a loan secured by the
Crowne Plaza Worcester, MA which had a balance of $16.3 million as
of September 30, 2009.  On October 23, 2009, the Company received
notice from the lender that the mortgage had been accelerated, as
anticipated.  The Company does not expect further negotiation with
the special servicer and intends to convey the hotel to the lender
in full satisfaction of the debt.

Conveying these hotels to the lenders, the severe economic
recession and the tight credit markets could also have an adverse
effect on the Company's ability to extend or refinance Pool 1 on
or prior to its maturity in July 2010.  "These factors raise
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern."


LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Proposes to Expand McKinsey Services
-------------------------------------------------------
Lyondell Chemical Co. and its units seek the Court's permission to
expand the scope of services to be performed by their management
consultant, McKinsey & Company Inc. United States.

Gerald A. O'Brien, vice president of Lyondell Chemical Company,
discloses that the Debtors wish to expand the scope of McKinsey in
accordance with a plan proposal dated December 7, 2009.

As set forth in the Plan Proposal, the Debtors would like McKinsey
to review product strategy for their fuel business by:

  (i) identifying and analyzing markets for the Debtors'
      products;

(ii) analyzing existing products and identifying new products
      matching the different markets; and

(iii) developing market strategies and business plans for each
      of the markets.

The Debtors seek modification of McKinsey's employment previously
approved by the Court, to include the Additional Services nunc pro
tunc to June 15, 2009, the date of the original consulting
agreement.

Pursuant to the Plan Proposal, the Debtors will pay McKinsey a
$550,000 fee.  The Fee is based on the expectation that the
Additional Services will be performed by a mid-sized team of
McKinsey professionals and will be completed within four to five
weeks.  The Debtors will also reimburse McKinsey for expenses
incurred on a monthly basis pursuant to the Interim Procedures
Order, as amended.  McKinsey estimates the out-of-pocket expenses
will be minor for this project and will range from $1,000 to
$2,000 as the firm does not expect any project related flights,
accommodations costs, data acquisition, or outsourced research
cost.

A full-text copy of the Plan Proposal is available for free at:

        http://bankrupt.com/misc/Lyondell_PlanProposal.pdf

With the current margin environment being extremely challenging
and the outlook for the next few years not being highly
encouraging either, McKinsey believes that the initiative of the
Debtors to address a variety of operational and commercial issues
is very timely, Thomas Hundertmark, a partner at McKinsey, says.
Moreover, he maintains that his firm is a "disinterested person"
as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,
petrochemicals and fuels companies.  It is the global leader in
polyolefins technology, production and marketing; a pioneer in
propylene oxide and derivatives; and a significant producer of
fuels and refined products, including biofuels.  Through research
and development, LyondellBasell develops innovative materials and
technologies that deliver exceptional customer value and products
that improve quality of life for people around the world.
Headquartered in The Netherlands, LyondellBasell --
http://www.lyondellbasell.com/-- is privately owned by Access
Industries.

Basell AF and Lyondell Chemical Company merged operations in 2007
to form LyondellBasell Industries, the world's third largest
independent chemical company.  LyondellBasell became saddled with
debt as part of the US$12.7 billion merger.  On January 6, 2009,
LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations and one of its European
holding companies -- Basell Germany Holdings GmbH -- filed
voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code to facilitate a restructuring of the company's
debts.  The case is In re Lyondell Chemical Company, et al.,
Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 09-10023).  Seventy-nine Lyondell
entities, including Equistar Chemicals, LP, Lyondell Chemical
Company, Millennium Chemicals Inc., and Wyatt Industries, Inc.
filed for Chapter 11.  In May 2009, one of the cases was dismissed
-- Case No. 09-10068 -- because it is duplicative of Case No. 09-
10040 relating to Debtor Glidden Latin America Holdings.

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary
AP Services LLC, serves as restructuring advisors.  AlixPartners'
Kevin M. McShea acts as the Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer.
Clifford Chance LLP serves as restructuring advisors to the
European entities.  Lyondell Chemical estimated that consolidated
assets total US$27.12 billion and debts total US$19.34 billion as
of the bankruptcy filing date.

Lyondell has obtained approximately US$8 billion in DIP financing
to fund continuing operations.  The DIP financing includes two
credit agreements: a US$6.5 billion term loan, which comprises a
US$3.25 billion in new loans and a US$3.25 billion roll-up of
existing loans; and a US$1.57 billion asset-backed lending
facility.

Luxembourg-based LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A. and another
affiliate were voluntarily added to Lyondell Chemical's
reorganization filing under Chapter 11 on April 24, 2009, in order
to seek protection against claims by certain financial and U.S.
trade creditors.  On May 8, 2009, LyondellBasell Industries added
13 non-operating entities to Lyondell Chemical Company's
reorganization filing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.  All of the entities are U.S. companies and were added to
the original Chapter 11 filing for administrative purposes.  The
filings will have no impact on current business or operations as
none of the entities manufactures or sells products.

News.  The newsletter tracks the Chapter 11 proceeding undertaken

MANITOWOC COMPANY: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the B2 Corporate Family
Rating and Probability of Default rating of The Manitowoc Company,
Inc., and assigned a Caa1 rating to the company's proposed
$400 million senior unsecured notes issuance, the same rating as
is assigned to the company's existing unsecured notes.  The
outlook remains negative.  Proceeds from the $400 million senior
unsecured notes are anticipated to be used on a prorata basis to
reduce the company's term loan A and term loan B bank debt.

The assigned ratings consider that Manitowoc will likely maintain
an elevated level of financial leverage, and earnings and cash
flow metrics that are best associated with the B2 rating category
over the intermediate term.  Manitowoc incurred a significant
amount of debt to complete its acquisition of Enodis in late 2008
just before the sharp deterioration in economic trends began to
adversely affect demand in the company's two business segments:
cranes and restaurant equipment.  The downturn has resulted in
sharply lower earnings and for the LTM period ended 9/30/09 the
company's EBIT/Interest ratio was 1.4x and its DEBT/EBITDA metric
was 6.2x (calculated using Moody's standard adjustments).
Manitowoc has acted to reduce debt with cash generated through
working capital reductions and the sale of certain businesses and
should experience improving metrics to the extent that the economy
grows.  However, Moody's expects the pace of improvement to be
slow as the company's business units are generally in late cycle
sectors that will probably see significant upside when
unemployment rates decline, commercial vacancies improve, and
commercial construction activity strengthens.

The proposed refinancing is viewed favorably as it extends the
maturity profile of Manitowoc's debt and begins to address the
large amount of bank and bond refinancing that the company faces
starting in 2013.  Nevertheless, the negative outlook reflects the
company's need to make further strides in improving operating
results and sustaining free cash flow generation for debt
reduction, even as working capital requirements increase when
economic trends begin to improve.  Demonstrating continued
improvement will be critical to the company's ability to
successfully address the 2013 refinancing need.

The Caa1 rating assigned to the new senior unsecured notes is the
same as the rating assigned to the company's existing unsecured
notes.  The unsecured debt is rated two notches below the CFR due
to the preponderance of senior secured bank debt in the capital
structure.  Moody's estimates that after applying net proceeds
from the new issuance to pay down bank debt, the company will
still have in excess of $2 billion of secured debt obligations
that are senior in payment to the senior unsecured debt thereby
affected the instrument's recovery in the event of default.

Assignments:

Issuer: Manitowoc Company, Inc. (The)

  -- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned Caa1, LGD5,
     86%

Withdrawals:

Issuer: Manitowoc Company, Inc. (The)

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Term Loan X, Withdrawn,
     previously rated B1, LGD3, 38%

The last rating action was on May 11, 2009, when Moody's lowered
the ratings of Manitowoc -- Corporate Family and Probability of
Default Ratings to B2 from Ba3; senior secured bank credit
facility to B1 from Ba2; senior subordinated notes to Caa1 from
B1.

The Manitowoc Company, Inc., headquartered in Manitowoc, WI, is a
diversified global manufacturer supporting the construction and
foodservice end markets.  Revenues for the last twelve months
through 9/30/09 totaled approximately $4.1 billion.


MCCLATCHY CO: Posts $25.8 Million Net Income in Q4 2009
-------------------------------------------------------
The McClatchy Company reported net income from continuing
operations in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $32.4 million, or 38
cents per share, compared to a loss of $20.4 million, or 25 cents
per share, in the 2008 quarter.  Adjusted earnings from continuing
operations(1) were $49.6 million, or 59 cents per share, in the
fourth quarter of 2009 after excluding the unusual items, compared
to $21.8 million, or 26 cents per share, reported in the fourth
quarter of 2008.  Total net income including discontinued
operations was $25.8 million, or 30 cents per share in the fourth
quarter of 2009 compared to a net loss of $27.0 million, or 33
cents per share in the 2008 fourth quarter.

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $393.2 million, down
16.5% from the fourth quarter of 2008.  Advertising revenues were
$308.7 million, down 20.5% from 2008, and circulation revenues
were $71.4 million, up 6.6%.  Online advertising revenues grew
14.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009 and were 15.8% of total
advertising revenues compared to 10.9% of total advertising
revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Cash expenses, excluding severance associated with restructuring
plans, declined $100.8 million, or 28.5% from the 2008 quarter.
Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $139.9 million, up
19.8%.

Income from continuing operations for 2009 was $60.3 million, or
72 cents per share, and was affected by the impact of the unusual
items discussed below. Adjusted earnings from continuing
operations were $60.6 million, or 72 cents per share, in 2009.
Total net income including discontinued operations was $54.1
million, or 65 cents per share, in 2009.

Income from continuing operations for 2008 was $2.8 million, or
three cents per share, and was affected by the impact of the
unusual items. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations were
$55.4 million, or 67 cents per share, in 2008.  Total net loss
including discontinued operations was $4.0 million, or five cents
per share, in 2008.

Revenues in 2009 were down 22.6% to $1.5 billion compared to $1.9
billion in 2008.  Advertising revenues in 2009 totaled $1.1
billion, down 27.1%, and circulation revenues were $278.3 million,
up 4.8%.

Commenting on McClatchy's results, Gary Pruitt, chairman and chief
executive officer, said, "We were pleased to see 2009 end on a
more positive note. The advertising revenue trend improvement in
October and November continued into December. Ad revenues, which
were down 28.1% year-over-year in the third quarter, declined
25.9% in October, 19.6% in November and 14.9% in December.
Importantly, we reported strong growth in our digital advertising
revenues, up 14.9% in the fourth quarter compared to 2008.

"We're seeing some evidence of a recovery in classified
advertising. It's typically the first area of our business to
suffer in a downturn -- and also the first to rebound when the
economy improves. Importantly, the improvement in the rate of
decline is consistent across all regions and categories of
classified advertising, both in print and online advertising.

"Our transition to a successful hybrid print and online company
continues to advance. Our online audiences are growing. Average
monthly unique visitors to our websites were up 18.6% in 2009.
McClatchy's online advertising from its Web sites represents an
industry-leading 16.2% of total newspaper advertising revenue for
all of 2009. Conventional thinking holds that newspaper companies
are being left behind as advertising migrates from print to the
internet. But that is not true at McClatchy. About one-third of
our classified advertising now takes place online. More than half
of employment, one-third of automotive and a quarter of real
estate advertising is digital.

"But given that total ad revenues are still negative and secular
challenges remain, we will continue to focus on costs. We feel
we've made real progress in reengineering our company over the
past few years. In 2009 cash expenses declined by about $390
million, or 26.1%.  The results are clear: Our operating cash flow
grew 19.8% in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of
2008, on top of growth in the third quarter. And every one of our
newspapers is profitable.

"Based on the first few weeks in January, ad revenues are down in
the low- to mid-teens percentage range and that is consistent with
where we expect to see ad revenues in the first quarter of 2010.
We also expect cash expenses to be down in the low-20 percent
range in the first quarter, so we expect to see strong double-
digit growth in operating cash flow, which would enable us to
continue to improve our leverage ratio. Our debt at the end of
2009 was 5.26 times cash flow as defined under our credit
agreement, and we expect it to decline to approximately 5.0 times
by the end of the first quarter.

"While we are seeing improving advertising revenue trends, we
still have a lot of hard work ahead of us as we weather the
current economic environment. We will remain vigilant in
realigning our costs to focus on our core competencies: high
quality journalism, advertising sales and digital media."

Pat Talamantes, McClatchy's chief financial officer, said, "We
completed the quarter with debt principal outstanding of $1.95
billion, down more than $174 million from the end of 2008.  Based
on our trailing 12 months of cash flow, our leverage ratio, as
defined under our credit agreement, improved for the third
consecutive quarter to 5.26 times at the end of the fourth
quarter, and our interest coverage ratio was 3.08 times.  Both of
these ratios are well within the covenant requirements under our
current credit agreement of a leverage ratio of less than 7.0
times and an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.0 times.
And, as Gary said, we expect further improvement in our leverage
ratio in the first quarter.

"We are also pleased to report that our pension plan had strong
returns in 2009 and, based on preliminary results, the unfunded
status of the company's pension plans improved by approximately
$114 million from year-end 2008."

MCCLATCHY CO: Lenders Consent to Loan Amendments
------------------------------------------------
The McClatchy Company said Wednesday that lenders holding
approximately 90% of the total commitments under the company's
credit facility have consented to an amendment to the credit
agreement that will permit the company to issue $875 million of
senior secured refinancing debt to refinance a portion of its bank
debt and certain of its existing public bonds maturing in 2011 and
2014, and to extend the remaining portion of the consenting banks'
debt from June 27, 2011 to July 1, 2013.

Among other things, the amended Credit Agreement will (all amounts
are as of December 27, 2009 giving effect to the refinancing):

     -- Provide for at least a 60% commitment reduction and
        prepayment for all lenders that agree to extend the
        maturity of their remaining commitments and loans.

     -- Extend the term of the credit facility for an estimated
        $184 million of term and $201 million of revolving loan
        commitments to July 1, 2013, while leaving the maturity
        unchanged from June 27, 2011 for non-extending lenders
        whose loan commitments total an estimated $115 million
        ($73 million in outstanding balances at December 27,
        2009). McClatchy expects to have approximately $189
        million in revolver availability upon effectiveness of the
        amendment and the application of the proceeds of the
        issuance of the senior secured notes.

     -- Increases the consolidated total leverage ratio covenant
        (as defined) to a maximum of 6.75 to 1.00 through the
        quarter ending December 2010; stepping down to 6.50 to
        1.00 from the quarter ending in March 2011 through the
        quarter ending in December 2011; to 6.25 to 1.00 from the
        quarter ending in March 2012 through the quarter ending in
        December 2012 and declining to 6.00 to 1.00 thereafter.

     -- Decreases the consolidated interest coverage ratio
        covenant (as defined) to a minimum of 1.50 to 1.00 from
        the quarter ending in March 2010 through the quarter
        ending in September 2011; increases it to 1.60 to 1.00
        from the quarter ending in December 2011 through the
        quarter ending in September 2012; and further increases it
        to 1.70 to 1.00 thereafter.

     -- Increases pricing on all outstanding loans to interest at
        the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread
        ranging from 425 basis points to 575 basis points, based
        upon the total leverage ratio and sets a floor on LIBOR
        for the purposes of interest payments under the credit
        agreement of no less than 300 basis points. The company
        will initially pay interest at 500 basis points over the
        LIBOR floor of 300 basis points, or 8.00% on its
        outstanding bank debt.

     -- Provides for pari passu sharing of collateral with new
        senior secured notes holders. The collateral package is
        unchanged from the current credit agreement and includes
        intangible assets, inventory, receivables and certain
        other assets.

     -- Provides for the amendment to become effective immediately
        prior to the closing of the senior secured notes offering.

MCCLATCHY CO: Seeks to Sell $875 Million Senior Notes Due 2017
--------------------------------------------------------------
The McClatchy Company proposes to offer $875 million aggregate
principal amount of senior notes, subject to market conditions and
other factors.  The notes would be due in 2017 and are to be
offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to
Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The notes will be senior obligations of McClatchy and will be
guaranteed by each of McClatchy's subsidiaries that guarantee
indebtedness under McClatchy's credit agreement.  The notes and
guarantees will be secured by a first priority lien on certain of
McClatchy's and the subsidiary guarantors' assets, and will rank
pari passu with liens granted under McClatchy's credit agreement.
Interest will be payable semi-annually.  The interest rate,
offering price and other terms will be determined at the time of
pricing of the offering.

McClatchy intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay
approximately $614 million under its credit agreement and to fund
its cash tender offer for any and all of the approximately $166
million aggregate principal amount of its 7.125% Notes due June 1,
2011 and approximately $24 million aggregate principal amount of
its 15.75% Senior Notes due 2014.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such

MOVIE GALLERY: Bankruptcy Filing "As Soon As Next Week"
-------------------------------------------------------
People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal Movie
Gallery Inc. is preparing to file for bankruptcy as soon as next
week.  The Journal's sources said the bankruptcy filing might be
as soon as Tuesday.  The sources, however, cautioned the filing
could be delayed.

On January 18, 2010, the Troubled Company Reporter ran a story
about Movie Gallery mulling the closure of about 1,000 stores as
it embarks on a second major restructuring.  Citing a report by
The Wall Street Journal, the TCR noted Movie Gallery has 2,700
video-rental locations across the U.S. and that the Company is
struggling under some $600 million in debt and a continued decline
in the store-based video-rental business.  The TCR said sources
told the Journal Movie Gallery has already asked liquidators to
bid for the inventory at an undisclosed number of its stores.

On Thursday, the Journal's Mike Spector and Peter Lattman, citing
their sources, said Movie Gallery could attempt to close about
two-thirds of its outlets -- about 1,800 stores -- which could
create a significant number of layoffs, given the company
currently employs 21,000.

According to Messrs. Spector and Lattman, Movie Gallery is
currently negotiating with lenders over a "prearranged"
bankruptcy.  A Journal source said current talks center around
Movie Gallery swapping a "significant" amount of debt for equity
in a reorganized company.

Movie Gallery didn't respond to requests for comment, according to
the Journal.

Movie Gallery is the nation's second-largest video-rental chain by
outlets behind Blockbuster Inc., and employs 21,000 workers. Some
of its strongest markets are in rural areas such as Clovis,
Calif., and Millinocket, Maine, where it runs stores under the
Movie Gallery and Hollywood Video nameplates.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on December 16, 2009,
Financial Times said Movie Gallery selected Moelis & Company as
its financial advisor to help it navigate through the similar
pitfalls that catalyzed its original restructuring in 2007-2008.
FT said the company is operating under a 30-day grace period from
lenders after failing to files its audited financials.

NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL: S&P Gives Stable Outlook; Keeps BB- Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has revised its outlook
on Navistar International Corp. and related entities to stable
from negative and affirmed its 'BB-' corporate credit rating and
other ratings.

"The outlook revision reflects S&P's improved view of Navistar's
liquidity as a result of the company's positive cash generation
from manufacturing operations, even amid weak end-market demand,
and its refinancing of substantial near-term debt maturities at
both the parent and at its Navistar Financial Corp. subsidiary,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Gregg Lemos Stein.  The
company reported free operating cash flow from manufacturing
operations of about $232 million in fiscal 2009, which exceeded
S&P's previous expectations despite still very weak conditions in
the company's core North American truck market.  S&P now believes
the risk of a downgrade has been reduced to less than a one-third
probability despite S&P's belief that industry demand may recover
only slightly in 2010, and Navistar's profitability may decline
because of a likely reduction in military sales.

S&P currently assumes that North American heavy- and medium-duty
truck sales will improve by only about 5% to 10% in 2010 compared
to the very weak 2009 levels, which were about 60% to 65% below
the peak levels of 2006.  S&P expects demand to remain volatile
throughout the year and possibly decline after the first quarter
following the U.S. emissions standard change that went into effect
Jan. 1, 2010, and which will make new engines more expensive.  For
the first quarter of 2010, truck sales may remain relatively high
until the inventory of engines built prior to Jan. 1, 2010, has
been sold.

Meanwhile, S&P expects Navistar's defense-related revenues to
decline from fiscal 2009 levels.  Navistar has said it expects
about $2.2 billion in defense-related sales this year and
$2 billion on an ongoing basis, compared to $2.8 billion in fiscal
2009.  After benefitting from the ramp-up of Mine Resistant Ambush
Protected armored vehicles for Iraq, Navistar failed to win a new
contract last year for lighter armored vehicles for Afghanistan,
which went to a competitor.  Navistar has firm orders for
approximately $1 billion in defense-related revenue and believes
it can win substantial additional business by retrofitting
existing armored vehicles for Afghanistan and by continuing to
sell a range of non-armored military trucks such as transport
vehicles as well as parts.  Still, S&P assumes the lower military
sales will lead to lower margins in 2010.

Navistar has said it expects manufacturing-segment profit of about
$700 million to $750 million for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31,
2010, compared to 2009 levels of $707 million (excluding a
settlement with Ford Motor Co.).

The ratings on Navistar reflect the company's fair business risk
profile and aggressive financial risk profile.  Key business risks
include the severe cyclicality and capital-intensity of the North
American commercial-vehicle industry.  These risks are partly
offset by Navistar's stable to improving market shares in
commercial-truck segments and by the expansion of its military
business in recent years.  In S&P's view, Navistar's geographic
diversity is low, despite its long-term goals to increase its
overseas presence through joint ventures.

NFC, a wholly owned subsidiary, has substantial funding needs to
provide financing to dealers and retail customers, and S&P
believes these funding needs will likely increase if truck market
conditions improve in coming years.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that the company can
maintain adequate credit measures even if the North American
commercial-truck market downturn persists through much of this
year.  S&P could lower the ratings if S&P believed free operating
cash flow from manufacturing operations would turn negative for
all of fiscal 2010, perhaps as a result of further declines in
demand.  In S&P's view, free operating cash flow could turn
negative if truck shipments decline in 2010 from the very weak
levels of 2009, or if the company falls well short of its goal to
generate $2.2 billion in defense-related revenues in 2010.  S&P
could also lower the ratings if the company failed to generate
manufacturing-segment profit of $600 million or better, as this
would likely equate to an adjusted-debt-to-EBITDA ratio exceeding
5x.

Prospects for an upgrade appear limited for now but would be
predicated upon demand rebounding in Navistar's core commercial-
truck markets, leading to consistent margin improvement and
substantial free cash flow generation at all stages of the cycle.
Another potential key to any upgrade would be permanent debt
reduction such that leverage, including S&P's adjustments,
declines below 3x.


NORTHAMPTON GENERATING: Won't Fully Meet Debt Payments, Fitch Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has received Northampton Generating Company, L.P.'s
Continuing Disclosure dated Jan. 21, 2010.  The Continuing
Disclosure confirms that Northampton paid in full its semi-annual
debt payment due Dec. 31, 2009 for Northampton's $153 million
senior tax-exempt series 1994 A resource recovery revenue bonds
due 2009 to 2019.  However, available cash from operations was
insufficient to fully fund the semi-annual payment of
approximately $12.533 million, requiring a draw of approximately
$3.967 million from the senior bond debt service reserve fund.
The remaining balance in the senior bond reserve fund is
approximately $6.133 million.

In October 2009, Fitch downgraded to 'C' from 'CC' the rating on
the senior bonds, following a technical default for Northampton's
failure to pay fully its 2009 third quarter allocation to the bond
payment account.  At that time, Fitch stated that it did not
expect that the payment shortfall would be eliminated with cash
from operations in the fourth quarter.  In September 2008, Fitch
noted that a draw on the senior bond reserve fund was expected for
2010 and possibly in 2009.  Fitch continues to expect that
Northampton will be unable to fully meet its scheduled debt
service payments for 2010 from operating cash flow and expects the
senior bond reserve fund to be depleted no later than 2012.  The
information in Northampton's Continuing Disclosure is consistent
with Fitch's prior expectations, and no new rating action on the
senior bonds is anticipated at this time.

Northampton consists of a 112 megawatt (net) coal-fired qualifying
facility in Northampton County, PA, that supplies energy to
Metropolitan Edison Co. (Issuer Default Rating 'BBB-' with a
Stable Outlook by Fitch) under a long-term power purchase
agreement.  Northampton is structured as a limited partnership and
is owned by indirect subsidiaries of Calypso Energy Holdings LLC,
which is owned by Cogentrix Energy, LLC, and investment companies
managed by EIF Management, LLC.  Subsidiaries of Cogentrix manage
the partnership and perform operations and maintenance at the
facility.

OSCIENT PHARMA: Guardian II Can Use Cash Collateral Until March 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Henry J. Boroff of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Massachusetts, in its fourth extension order,
authorized Guardian II Acquisition Corporation, a debtor-affiliate
of Oscient Pharmaceuticals Corporation, to:

   (i) use cash collateral of Paul Royalty Fund Holdings and U.S.
       Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent
       for the prepetition second lien noteholders until March 1,
       2010; and

  (ii) grant adequate protection to the prepetition lenders.

A hearing on the further use of cash collateral will be held on
February 25, 2010, at 2:00 p.m., at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Springfield.  Objections, if any, are due on February 22, 2010, at
4:30 p.m.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 30, 2009,
Guardian told the Court that absent the use of cash collateral, it
will have to cease operations immediately, which will
significantly reduce the value of Guardian's principal asset,
ANTARA.  Also, absent the ability to use cash collateral to pay
Oscient for postpetition services, Guardian will be unable to
continue sales of ANTARA or effect a successful sale of assets or
other reorganization.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of Paul
Royalty's collateral, the Debtors will grant Paul Royalty a senior
adequate protection liens on all presently owned and hereafter
acquired assets of Guardian to the extent of any diminution in
value of Paul Royalty's security interests.  Paul Royalty will
also be granted an allowed superpriority administrative expense
claim -- junior only to a carve-out for certain expenses --
pursuant to Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

U.S. Bank, as the second lien agent, will be granted junior
adequate protection liens on its collateral, to the extent of any
diminution in value.  It will also have an allowed superpriority
administrative expense claim, junior only to the carve-out and
Paul Royalty's superpriority claim.

PENN TRAFFIC: Price Chopper Wants 3% Breakup Fee
------------------------------------------------
Price Chopper commenced an adversary proceeding against Penn
Traffic Co. to seek payment of $1.6 million after its failed bid
to acquire 22 P&C Foods supermarkets for $54 million.

The lawsuit filed before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware came after Tops Market outbid Price Chopper
with an offer of $85 million for the Company's 79 supermarkets and
other assets.  The sale has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

According to Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News, Schenectady, New
York-based Price Chopper said that it first offered to buy four
stores for $12 million.  It raised the price to $46 million for 22
stores and eventually signed a contract with Penn Traffic to pay
$54 million.

The report relates that Price Chopper added it agreed to raise the
price by $8 million in return for a provision in the contract
saying there would be no auction and Penn Traffic and its
creditors would not solicit higher offers.  The contract did allow
Penn Traffic to provide information on request by other possible
buyers.

Before the hearing where Penn Traffic was to ask for Bankruptcy
Court approval of the Price Chopper contract, Williamsville, New
York-based Tops made an offer for all the assets on terms that
were more beneficial to the bankrupt estate.  Penn Traffic dropped
the contract with Price Chopper and had the bankruptcy court sign
an order on Jan. 25 officially approving the sale to Tops.

Tops sued Penn Traffic on breach of contract and other claims.
According to the Bloomberg report, Tops wants payment of $1.62
million, representing what it says is a standard 3% breakup fee
allowed in the Delaware bankruptcy courts.

PHILADELPHIA NEWSPAPERS: Heats Up Rule 2019 Debate
--------------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Newspapers LLC has pushed for more disclosure from
creditor groups under Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure.

Counsel to the steering group of prepetition lenders, with
Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, as administrative agent, filed an
objection, noting of a ruling by the Honorable Christopher J.
Sontchi in Six Flags Inc.'s Chapter 11 case (Bankr. D. Del. Case
No. 09-12019), in which he denied a motion by the creditors
committee compelling a noteholder group to comply with Rule 2019.

Philadelphia Newspapers wants the Steering Committee (a) to fully
comply with Bankruptcy Rule 2019, by requiring each former and
present member to disclose (i) the amount of each of its claims,
(ii) the dates the claims were acquired, (iii) the amount paid
therefor and (iv) any subsequent disposition thereof, and (b)
barred from participating in the case until all disclosure
deficiencies are remedied.

PLAYER WIRE: Executor Authorized to File Chapter 11 Petition
------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that even assuming that an ex-wife automatically
became a member of a limited liability company 180 days after her
former husband's death, when the husband's financial obligations
under a property settlement agreement, for which he had pledged
his interest in the LLC as security, had not been fully satisfied,
the ex-wife's membership in the LLC would not negate the authority
that an executor of the husband's probate estate possessed, as a
result of a proxy executed by the other executor at a time when
they held all membership interests in the LLC, to file a
bankruptcy petition on the LLC's behalf.  The ex-wife did nothing
to revoke this previously granted authority before a petition was
filed.  Thus, a Chapter 11 case could not be dismissed under "for
cause" dismissal provision based on the alleged lack of authority
of the executor to file the petition.  In re Player Wire Wheels,
Ltd., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 5194536 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio) (Woods,
J.).

Player Wire Wheels, Ltd., dba B & R Wholesale Tire dba INC WHEELS
filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No.
09-40906) on March 21, 2009, signed by "Roy L. Crick, Member by
Executor Power/Authorized Representative."  The Debtor is
represented by Andrew W. Suhar, Esq., and Melissa M. Macejko,
Esq., at Suhar & Macejko, LLC, in Youngstown, Ohio.  The Debtor
estimated its assets and debts at less than $10 million at the
time of the filing.


PLAYER WIRE: Plan Satisfied "Best Interest of Creditors Test"
-------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that even assuming that the ex-wife of the
deceased sole member of a bankrupt limited liability company , due
to the fact that membership interests had been pledged to secure a
divorce-related debt upon which executors of her late husband's
probate estate had purportedly defaulted, had a membership
interest in the LLC, a plan proposed by the executors of late
husband's probate estate on behalf of the LLC satisfied the "best
interests of creditors" test.  The plan provided for the debtor to
turn over $385,000, the value of total membership interests as
established by objective analyses of third party valuation
experts, to the probate estate to be held until pending
arbitration was concluded and then distributed based on the
arbitrator's determination of the executors' and the ex-wife's
respective membership interests in the LLC.  In re Player Wire
Wheels, Ltd., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 5194535 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio)
(Woods, J.).

filed a voluntary chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No.

represented by Andrew W. Suhar, Esq., and Melissa M. Macejko,
Esq., at Suhar & Macejko, LLC, in Youngstown, Ohio.  The Debtor
estimated its assets and debts at less than $10 million at the
time of the filing.  The Honorable Kay Woods entered her order
confirming the Debtor's chapter 11 plan on Dec. 30, 2009.

further public comment regarding its process until and unless a
definitive agreement on a transaction is reached, and no assurance
can be given that such an agreement will be entered into.

QHB HOLDINGS: Court Confirms Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmed
the prepackaged Plan of Reorganization proposed by QHB Holdings
LLC and its debtor-affiliates.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan contemplates to
restructure the Debtors' outstanding indebtedness.  The Debtors
relate that through consummation of the restructuring, they intend
to reorganize their capital structure, significantly reduce their
indebtedness, and improve their liquidity, while providing
adequate time to execute their business strategy.

In conjunction with the restructuring, the current ownership of
QHB Holdings will be reorganized prior to the filing of any
Chapter 11 Cases, and prior to completion of the restructuring,
through an equity reorganization.

Under the Plan, the restructuring may be effected as a consensual
transaction outside of bankruptcy in which:

   (i) the proposed parties to the New First Lien Credit Agreement
       would execute, and deliver to each other, the New First
       Lien Credit Agreement;

  (ii) the Second Lien Lenders and New QHB would execute the
       Second Lien Exchange Agreement whereby the Second Lien Debt
       would be exchanged for New Common Stock; and

(iii) the Noteholders and New QHB would execute the Noteholder
       Exchange Agreement, whereby the Note Claims would be
       exchanged for New Common Stock.

The Plan provides that each holder of an allowed general unsecured
claim will be paid in full in accordance with the reinstated
rights as and when the payment is due.

READER'S DIGEST: Gets Nod to Issue Notes to Refinance Exit Loans
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Reader's Digest Association Inc. and its units obtained the
Court's authority to enter into an agreement to issue and sell
notes to refinance their (i) obligations under their new first and
second priority secured term loans to be issued on the effective
date of their plan of reorganization, and (ii) reinstated euro
term loan.  The Debtors also ask the Court to approve certain
indemnification and contribution obligations, and payment of fees
and expenses to the initial purchasers.

James H.M. Sprayregen P.C., Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New
York, relates that the Debtors are moving expeditiously to exit
from the Chapter 11 cases, and hope to have the Effective Date of
the Plan occur no later than January 31, 2010.  On January 19, the
Court entered its findings of fact, conclusions of law and order
confirming the Debtors' Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization.

Pursuant to the Debtors' debtor-in-possession credit agreement, on
the Effective Date, the DIP Facility will (a) subject to the terms
of the DIP Facility, convert into a new first priority term loan
pursuant to the Exit Credit Agreement, or (b) be paid off in full
in cash.  In addition, the Plan provides that, on the Effective
Date, the Debtors will enter into a new second priority term loan,
and reinstate their euro term loan.  As noted in the Disclosure
Statement, Mr. Sprayregen notes, the New First Priority Term Loan,
the New Second Priority Term Loan and the Reinstated Euro Term
Loan may be refinanced at any time.

As part of a proposed refinancing, the Debtors are working with
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse
(USA) Securities, Inc., and potentially certain other parties for
a proposed purchase and sale of senior secured fixed rate notes
and senior secured floating rate notes pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.  The Initial Purchasers will work with the Debtors to
prepare offering materials to be used in a "road show" to identify
qualified institutional purchasers, to whom the Initial Purchasers
will resell the Securities.

While the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including pricing and
cost, are not yet finalized, and the Debtors have not made a final
decision as to whether to proceed with the Purchase Agreement,
they say they are seeking authority to enter into the Purchase
Agreement at this time for several important reasons.  The Debtors
believe that the current conditions in the bond market may make it
an optimal time to arrange an issuance and sale of the Securities.

By taking advantage of current market conditions and locking in
commitments as soon as possible, the Debtors anticipate being able
to refinance their obligations under the Exit Facilities,
according to Mr. Sprayregen.  Were the Debtors to proceed with the
refinancing, they believe the refinancing will result in
significant savings as well as ensure certainty in a financing
landscape that is dynamic, ever-changing and subject to global
economic conditions, Mr. Sprayregen asserts.  He notes that the
Debtors cannot be sure that optimal conditions will exist in the
future given the volatile and unpredictable nature of the
financial markets.

Once the terms of the Purchase Agreement are finalized, the
Debtors will need to move quickly to effectuate the transaction,
Mr. Sprayregen tells the Court.  Because it is impracticable for
the Debtors to finalize the terms of the Purchase Agreement and
subsequently file a motion seeking authority to enter into that
agreement, he avers that the Debtors are seeking authority at this
time.  He assures Judge Gonzalez that the Debtors intend to enter
into the Purchase Agreement only if entry into the Purchase
Agreement will result in material interest expense savings.

The Debtors say they intend to communicate the proposed material
terms of the Purchase Agreement to the steering committee for the
prepetition lenders and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors on a confidential basis once terms are finalized.  In
addition, in the meanwhile, the Debtors disclose that they will
explore if alternative financing can be obtained on better
economic or other terms than could be obtained through the
Purchase Agreement, including through a bank financing, prior to
executing the Purchase Agreement.

Should they proceed with the Purchase Agreement, the Debtors will
utilize the proceeds from the sale of the Securities to pay off
the principal on the Exit Facilities, Mr. Sprayregen tells Judge
Gonzalez.

The salient terms of the Purchase Agreement are:

  (a) The Reader's Digest Association, Inc., agrees to issue and
      sell the Securities to the Initial Purchasers, and each
      Initial Purchaser, agrees, severally and not jointly, to
      purchase from Reader's Digest the respective principal
      amount of the Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes;

  (b) Reader's Digest and each of the Guarantors jointly and
      severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each
      Initial Purchaser from and against all losses, claims,
      damages and liabilities that arise out of, or are based
      upon, any untrue statement contained in the Preliminary
      Offering Memorandum, or any untrue statement made in
      reliance upon and in conformity with any information
      relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to Reader's
      Digest in writing by the Initial Purchaser through its
      representatives;

  (c) If the Indemnification Obligations are unavailable to an
      Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any
      losses, then each Indemnifying Person, in lieu of
      indemnifying that Indemnified Person, will contribute to
      the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a
      result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities:

      * in proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
        benefits received by Reader's Digest and the Guarantors,
        on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers on the other
        from the offering of the Securities; or

      * if that first allocation is not permitted by applicable
        law, in proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
        the relative benefits of that allocation but also the
        relative fault of Reader's Digest and the Guarantors,
        and the Initial Purchasers in connection with the
        statements or omissions that resulted in those losses,
        claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
        relevant equitable considerations; and

  (d) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by the
      Purchase Agreement are consummated or the Purchase
      Agreement is terminated, Reader's Digest and each of the
      Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay all costs
      and expenses incident to the performance of their
      respective obligations.

Mr. Sprayregen notes that both the Debtors and the Reorganized
Debtors will be bound by the terms of the Purchase Agreement
solely upon execution of and entry into the Purchase Agreement.

READER'S DIGEST: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating on $525 Mil. Senior Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Pleasantville, New
York-based Reader's Digest Assn. Inc.'s proposed $525 million
senior secured notes due 2017 its preliminary 'B' issue rating
with a recovery rating of '4', indicating S&P's expectation of
average (30% to 50%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a
payment default.

The company plans to use proceeds, along with cash on the balance
sheet, to refinance $555 million of the exit capital structure.
Reader's Digest filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
Aug. 24, 2009.

S&P also expect to assign the reorganized company, along with its
RDA Holding Co. parent, S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating upon its
emergence from bankruptcy protection.

On Jan. 19, 2010, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York issued its order confirming Reader's Digest's
Plan of Reorganization.  Under the terms of the Plan of
Reorganization, Reader's Digest will reduce its total debt from
approximately $2.2 billion, to approximately $555 million ("the
exit capital structure"), and holders of its prepetition senior
secured debt will receive substantially all of the common stock of
the emerged entity.  Under the exit capital structure outlined in
the Plan of Reorganization, upon emergence, the company's debt
capitalization would consist of:

* A $150 million first-priority U.S. term loan (converted from the
  DIP facility),

* A $105 million first-priority secured German term loan (a
  reinstatement of the existing German term loan), and

* A second-priority $300 million term loan (the converted portion
  of the prepetition senior secured debt).

On Jan. 25, 2010, the bankruptcy court entered an order
authorizing Reader's Digest, in its discretion, to enter into a
senior secured note agreement to refinance its obligations under
its proposed exit capital structure.  In the motion requesting the
authorization to pursue the refinancing, Reader's Digest stated
that it would only proceed with the refinancing if it would result
in a material interest expense savings.  The company expects that
the refinancing, if consummated, would be substantially concurrent
with the company's emergence from bankruptcy.

The preliminary issue rating and S&P's expected 'B' corporate
credit rating are subject to the reorganized Reader's Digest's
timely emergence from bankruptcy and substantial consummation of
its first amended plan of reorganization, including its exit
capital structure, which the bankruptcy court confirmed by its
order on Jan. 19, 2010.  The preliminary and expected ratings are
also subject to the $555 million portion of the exit capital
structure being refinanced by the proposed $525 million senior
secured notes at, or shortly after, emergence, and the senior
secured notes being finalized on substantially the same terms as
represented to us, including, but not limited to pricing on the
notes.  Any changes to the refinancing capital structure may
result in Standard & Poor's assigning different ratings.  If the
exit financing is not refinanced by the proposed notes and the
company emerges from bankruptcy with the exit capital structure,
the preliminary issue rating would be withdrawn and the expected
issuer rating could be lower, but S&P currently believe by no more
than one notch.  The preliminary and expected ratings are also
subject to S&P's receipt and satisfactory review of final
indenture and credit agreements.  The company has indicated that
it expects to emerge from bankruptcy on Jan. 31, 2010.

The expected 'B' rating reflects S&P's view of:

* Reader's Digest's exposure to economic cyclicality;

* The highly competitive nature of the publishing business;

* Secular pressures facing the publications business;

* The mature growth prospects of the company's direct marketing
  business;

* The outmoded nature of the Reader's Digest flagship magazine;
  and

* An increasingly uncompetitive direct marketing model focused on
  selling music, videos, and books.

In S&P's view, the position of the company's flagship publication
as the world's highest circulating paid magazine does not offset
these factors.

Standard & Poor's has provided the foregoing independent credit
opinions based on the information that has been provided.  In
offering such opinions, Standard & Poor's is independent from the
engaging company and any parties to the bankruptcy proceeding.
S&P does not advise, advocate or support any particular plan of
reorganization and a rating opinion does not indicate whether the
plan is fair, reasonable or appropriate or likely to be confirmed
as the basis for the company's emergence from bankruptcy.   The
issue ratings provided by Standard & Poor's to companies prior to
exiting bankruptcy are preliminary, and subsequent developments or
changes to the plan or information considered by us in S&P's
analysis could result in final conclusions that differ from the
preliminary ratings.   Issuer ratings provided by Standard &
Poor's to companies prior to exiting bankruptcy are S&P's current
opinion of the ratings that S&P expects to assign at a future date
and subsequent developments or changes to the plan or information
considered by us in S&P's analysis could result in rating
conclusions that differ from the expected ratings.  Rating
opinions provided by Standard & Poor's to a company in bankruptcy
are assumed to be used in accordance with all applicable laws.

SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES: Posts $27 Million Full Year 2009 Net Loss
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sensata Technologies B.V. announced results of its operations for
the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.

Fourth quarter 2009 net income was $14.1 million versus a net loss
of $52.2 million for the same period in 2008.  Full year 2009 net
loss was $27.0 million versus a net loss of $134.5 million for the
same period in 2008.

Fourth quarter 2009 net revenue was $338.1 million, an increase of
$70.5 million or 26.3% from the fourth quarter 2008 net revenue of
$267.6 million.  Volume and the impact of foreign exchange
represented approximately 24% and 3% of this growth, respectively,
offset by a 1% price decline.

Full year 2009 net revenue was $1.134 billion, a decrease of
$287.7 million or 20.2% from the full year 2008 net revenue of
$1.422 billion. Volume, the impact of foreign exchange and price
represented approximately 19%, 1% and 1% of this decrease,
respectively.

Tom Wroe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Although
net revenue declined year over year, the growth in the fourth
quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 is
encouraging and the current environment is a lot more positive
than it was one year ago.  We believe that approximately
$27 million of this fourth quarter net revenue relates to supply
chain replenishment and customer delinquency depletion.  We would
expect to see Q1, 2010 net revenue back on a more normal seasonal
quarter over quarter growth basis." Mr. Wroe added, "The growth in
our business is coming from end-market growth, emerging market
opportunities and application content growth with recent wins in
all of these categories."

Fourth quarter 2009 Adjusted Net Income was $50.5 million or 14.9%
of net revenue versus the fourth quarter 2008 Adjusted Net Loss of
$171,000.  Full year 2009 Adjusted Net Income was $124.8 million
or 11.0% of net revenue, an increase of $25.1 million or 25.2%
from the full year 2008 Adjusted Net Income of $99.7 million or
7.0% of net revenue.

Fourth quarter 2009 Adjusted EBITDA was $102.5 million or 30.3% of
net revenue, an increase of $43.7 million or 74.2% from the fourth
quarter 2008 Adjusted EBITDA of $58.8 million or 22.0% of net
revenue.  Full year 2009 Adjusted EBITDA was $325.1 million or
28.6% of net revenue, a decrease of $23.3 million or 6.7% from
full year 2008 Adjusted EBITDA of $348.4 million or 24.5% of net
revenue.

The last 12 months Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, which is the primary
measure in our credit agreement, was $329.8 million.

Year ended December 31, 2009 cash balances were $148.1 million, an
increase of $70.4 million from December 31, 2008 cash balances of
$77.7 million.  At the end of 2009, the Company discontinued its
practice of drawing down on its revolver at the end of the
quarter.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company generated cash
from operations of approximately $187.8 million, used
approximately $15.1 million in investing activities and used
approximately $102.3 million in financing activities.  The cash
used for financing activities included a cash use of $57.2 million
related to the previously announced tender offer which occurred in
the second quarter of 2009 and other open market repurchases of
debt, and a cash use of $44.2 million related to the repayment of
the revolving credit facility, mandatory debt payments and payouts
on capital leases.

The Company's cash conversion cycle, which is defined as days
sales outstanding (DSO) plus days on hand inventory (DOH) less
days payable outstanding (DPO) was 47.4 days at year end compared
to 96.0 days at the end of 2008.  DSO, DOH and DPO were 49.0, 52.3
and 53.9 days at December 31, 2009, respectively.

The Company recorded a tax provision of $7.9 million for the
fourth quarter 2009 and $43.0 million for the full year 2009.  Of
the $43.0 million, approximately $17.5 million relates to current
taxes and the remaining tax provision relates primarily to
deferred tax expense attributable to amortization of tax
deductible goodwill.

The Company's indebtedness at December 31, 2009 was $2.3 billion,
excluding capital leases.  The Company recorded a $15.3 million
currency translation loss, including a loss on foreign exchange
hedge, in 2009 and a $53.2 million translation gain in 2008 on its
euro denominated debt.  The Company's net debt for debt compliance
purposes was $2.2 billion and had a leverage ratio of 6.57X
compared to a required ratio of 7.5X and an interest coverage
ratio of 2.35X compared to a required ratio of 1.5X.

Jeff Cote, Chief Financial Officer, said "We continue to focus on
our margins and our balance sheet management; and this focus is
paying dividends demonstrated by the fourth quarter adjusted net

profit margin of 34.7% and a cash conversion cycle of 47.4 days."

SEVEN ARTS: Has Until March 22 to File Form 20-F
------------------------------------------------
Seven Arts Pictures plc received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock
Market on January 20, 2009, notifying the Company that it is not
in compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it
has not yet filed its Yearly Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2009.  The Company must file the Yearly Report
by March 22, 2010 or submit to NASDAQ a plan to regain compliance.
Any exceptions granted by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Department to allow the Company to regain compliance with Rule
5250(c)(1) will be limited to July 14, 2010.  After March 22, if
the NASDAQ does not agree to an additional exception relative to
the Yearly Report and/or if the Company does not regain compliance
with Rule 5250(c)(1) by July 14, 2010, NASDAQ will provide written
notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted
from The NASDAQ Capital Market.  The Company will have the right
to appeal such a delisting notice to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel for
review and seek a stay of such delisting. Management believes this
is very unlikely.

The Company is working diligently to finalize its delinquent
filing and expects to file its Yearly Report well before the
deadline, at which point the Company will again be in compliance
with NASDAQ Listing Rules.  The Company previously issued a press
release on January18th in which it attributed the late filing to a
change of Auditors and a change in reporting standards from UK
GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sherwood Farms, Inc., has filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Florida an amendment to its list of 20
largest unsecured creditors, removing these creditors:

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
January 15, 2010 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 10-00578).  Mariane L.
Dorris, Esq., at Latham Shuker Eden & Beaudine LLP, assists the
Company in its restructuring effort.  The Company listed
$10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in assets and $10,000,001 to
$50,000,000 in liabilities.

The Company's affiliate, Sherwood Investments Overseas Limited
Incorporated, filed a separate Chapter 11 petition.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 21 will convene a meeting of creditors
in Sherwood Farms, Inc.'s Chapter 11 case on February 22, 2010, at
9:00 a.m.  The meeting will be held at 6th Floor Suite 600, 135

All creditors are invited, but not required, to attend.  This
Meeting of Creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy
proceeding for creditors to question a responsible office of the

SOUTHEAST BANKING: Plan Effective Date Deadline Now April 30
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Paul G. Hyman of the the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Florida extended until April 30, 2010, the
deadline for the occurrence of the effective date of the Third
Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Southeast Banking
Corporation.

The Court also stated that if Jeffrey H. Beck, Chapter 11 trustee
for the estate, has not filed a motion seeking a further extension
of the effective date deadline before the May 4, 2010, Status
Conference set in the case, the trustee will, at the Status
Conference, provide the Court with an update of his discussions
with the Indenture Trustees and the Ad Hoc Committee regarding
plans for disposition of the remaining estate assets and
winding up of the case.

Southeast Banking Corp. was the holding company of Southeast Bank,
N.A., and its sister institution, Southeast Bank of West Florida,
and the direct or indirect parent of a number of subsidiary
corporations and affiliates, active and inactive, which at various
times conducted substantial business throughout the State of
Florida and beyond.  The businesses of SEBC and its affiliates
consisted of banking, real estate investment and development,
insurance, mortgage banking, venture capital, and asset
investment.

At the time of their failure the Banks had total assets of
$10.5 billion and total deposits of $7.6 billion.  Most of the
assets were with SEBNA, which had 218 of the combined 224 branches
and all but $100 million of the assets.  Together, the two banks
had approximately 6,200 employees, operating exclusively in
Florida.

On September 20, 1991, Southeast Bank filed a voluntary petition
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case
No. 91-14561).  Southeast Bank, N.A., was seized by federal
regulators while Southeast Bank of West Florida was seized by
state regulators on September 19, 1991.  On September 20, 1991,
SEBC's board of directors voted to authorize the filing of a
voluntary Chapter 7 petition, and then promptly resigned along
with all of SEBC's officers.

Jeffrey H. Beck was the fourth Trustee appointed in the Debtor's
liquidation proceeding.

This bankruptcy case was converted to Chapter 11 on September 17,
2007, almost sixteen years after its initial filing.


SOUTHEAST TELEPHONE: Chapter 11 Plan Due February 25
----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky
extended SouthEast Telephone, Inc.'s exclusive periods to file
its Chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement until February 25,
2010, and to solicit acceptances of that plan until April 26,
2010.

The Debtor requested for an extension in Plan filing until
March 29, 2010, and in soliciting acceptances of that Plan until
May 29, 2010.

Pikeville, Kentucky-based SouthEast Telephone, Inc., operates a
telecommunication business.  The Company filed for Chapter 11 on
Sept. 28, 2009 (Bankr. E.D. Ky. Case No. 09-70731).  Jamie L.
Harris, Esq., and Laura Day DelCotto, Esq., at Wise DelCotto PLLC,
represent the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  In the Debtor's
schedules, it said it has assets of at least $15,573,655, and
total debts of $31,423,707.


SPANSION INC: Committee Wants to Depose on Japan Negotiations
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Spansion Inc.'s
cases asks the Court to compel the Debtors to produce witnesses
for depositions to testify regarding the terms of the Debtors'
settlement with Spansion Japan Limited.

The Committee tells the Court that the Debtors are refusing to
make a Federal Rule 30(b)(6) designee available until January 28,
2010, which is after the deadline for the Committee to file an
objection to the Joint Motion Approving Settlement Between
Spansion LLC and Spansion Japan, and less than 24 hours before
the scheduled hearing on the Joint Motion.  This delay, the
Committee maintains, in scheduling deposition is unacceptable and
prevents it from adequately preparing its objections to the Joint
Motion and therefore, will hinder its ability to be heard on the
Joint Motion as scheduled.

By this motion, the Committee asks the Court to provide an
appropriate witness to be deposed on January 26, 2010, at
9:00 a.m. and continuing on January 27, 2010, if necessary to
cover all the Deposition Topics, in advance of the objection
deadline and hearing date.  In the alternative, if the Debtors
cannot produce an appropriate witness for depositions on
January 26, 2010, the Committee requests that the Debtors produce
Randy Furr for a deposition on the evening of January 26, 2010,
following the currently set deposition, or the morning of
January 27, 2010.  If that occurs, the Committee requests that the
Objection Deadline be moved to January 28, 2010.

In a separate filing, The Committee request that the Court set a
status conference to take place at the hearing on January 25,
2010 to address discovery issues set forth in the Motion to
Compel.  The Committee maintains that a status conference on
January 25, 2010, will allow for efficiency and economy with
respect to the Joint Motion.

SPANSION INC: Gets Nod for Deal With Aehr Test Systems
------------------------------------------------------
Spansion Inc. and its units obtained approval from the Bankruptcy
Court of their stipulation with Aehr Test Systems and Aehr Test
Systems Japan Ltd., pursuant to which, among others, Aehr's
general unsecured prepetition claim will be allowed for
$18,480,645.  The stipulation further provides that the Debtors
will pay Aehr the cost of completion, in the amount of $210,000,
in consideration of Aehr supplying the Debtors with four
"waferpak" devices needed in the Debtors' production processes.

Aehr supplies test systems and fixtures to the Debtors, including
probe cards and "waferpaks."  Because of the long lead times
during product development and holds due to the Debtors' decision
to redirect its production focus, a number of orders for
waferpaks were canceled prior to the Petition Date.  The Debtors
relate that pursuant to the purchase orders governing these
transactions, in the event of cancellation, the Debtors are
required to pay cancellation fees to Aehr proportionate to
product completion, non-recoverable costs, and the sales price.

As of the time of cancellation, a portion of the Canceled
Waferpaks had been fully built by Aehr and were ready to be
shipped to the Debtors.  To mitigate damages, Aehr decided to
cease or not begin manufacturing certain other Canceled
Waferpaks.  At least one Canceled Waferpak was partially built.

The Debtors have determined that they need four of the Canceled
Waferpaks for their production processes: one 300mm 731 Waferpak
configured for operation on a 200mm wafer, two 300mm 764
Waferpaks configured for operation on a 200 mm wafer, and 200mm
533 Waferpak.  While three of the Requested Waferpaks are already
fully built and ready for shipment, the fourth Requested Waferpak
-- the 200mm 533 Waferpak -- is only partially built.  Aehr
estimates that it will cost $210,000 to complete the manufacture
of the fourth Requested Waferpak.

According to the Debtors, the Requested Waferpaks will allow them
to test their Flash memory products and are, accordingly, an
integral component in their manufacturing and testing process --
which are themselves the foundation of their business.

Aehr filed, on May 8, 2009, a proof of claim in Spansion Inc.'s
Chapter 11 case asserting a general unsecured prepetition claim
for $18,480,645 comprised of:

  (a) an unsecured prepetition claim for $6,217,834 relating to
      cancellation charges for goods and services ordered by the
      Debtors prior to the Petition Date which were canceled
      prior to delivery;

  (b) an unsecured prepetition claim for $1,225,331 for goods
      and services delivered to Spansion LLC under invoice
      numbers 120975, 121022, 120990;

  (c) an unsecured prepetition claim for $11,363,980 for
      invoiced amounts due and owing under several transactions
      for goods and services delivered to Spansion LLC; and

  (d) a credit given by Aehr to the Debtors in the amount of
      $326,500 relating to an overpayment made by the Debtors
      prepetition for invoiced amounts due and owing under
      transactions for goods and services delivered to Spansion
      LLC by Aehr.

The Debtors do not dispute the amounts owed to Aehr asserted
pursuant to the Transferred Claim, the Three Invoice Claim, and
the Credit.  While the Debtors acknowledge that the amounts owed
to Aehr asserted pursuant to the Claim reflect Aehr's decision to
cease manufacturing the fourth Requested Waferpak in order to
mitigate cancellation fees owing to Aehr by the Debtors under the
purchase orders, the Debtors believe that the Cancellations Claim
may be excessive in light of the terms of the purchase orders.
So as to resolve any disputes, the Parties negotiated and reached
an agreement which was then reduced to writing.  On December 30,
2009, Aehr and the Debtors entered into the Stipulation to
resolve the potential discrepancy and to provide the Debtors with
the Requested Waferpaks and other necessary services.

The Stipulation provides for the delivery and transfer of title
to the Requested Waferpaks to the Debtors by Aehr as soon as
practicable after entry of the Order.  In exchange, the Debtors
agree to (i) pay to Aehr the Completion Cost and support the
allowance of Claim in the full amount sought.

The Debtors assert that the stipulation provides them with
testing devices necessary for their production processes, and at
a cost that is considerably less than it would cost to purchase
equivalent devices from Aehr or another supplier.

SPANSION INC: Proposes Settlement With Samsung
----------------------------------------------
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and the Debtors are parties to
complex patent litigation pending in multiple courts.  In
November 2008, the Debtors commenced patent infringement actions
against Samsung in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware and with the International Trade Commission
for alleged patent violations relating to Samsung flash memory.

The complaint in the Spansion ITC Action seeks exclusion from the
United States market of Samsung's flash memory alleging that this
memory infringes four of the Debtors' flash-memory related
patents.  The complaint in the Spansion ITC Action also seeks
exclusion from the United States market of mp3 players, cell
phones, digital cameras, and other consumer electronic devices
containing the allegedly infringing Samsung flash memory.  The
Spansion ITC Action is styled as International Trade Commission
Investigation No. 337-TA-664.

In the Delaware Action, the Debtors sought both an injunction and
damages for alleged patent violations relating to Samsung flash
memory.  The Debtors asserted six patents in the Delaware Action,
all of which are different from those at issue in the Spansion
ITC Action.

On January 16, 2009, Samsung filed an answer and counterclaims
against the Debtors in the Delaware Action.  In the Delaware
Action Counterclaims, Samsung alleged that the Debtors had
infringed and continued to infringe five Samsung patents and
sought an injunction and damages for those violations.

On January 15, 2010, the Parties entered into a stipulation,
which reflects the Parties' agreement to liquidate Samsung's
claims in the Patent Proceedings.

The Debtors believe that the Stipulation will be approved because
it provides for a consensual resolution regarding the process for
liquidating pre- and postpetition claims arising from complex
pending patent litigation and eliminates further litigation with
Samsung in the Chapter 11 cases.  To achieve this result, the
Debtors and Samsung have agreed on a reasonable reserve amount,
$75 million, for the Samsung General Unsecured Claim.  The
Debtors aver that as a result of this agreement, they will be
able to commence distributions of New Spansion Common Stock to
holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 5A, 5B and 5C under the Plan
without the need to liquidate or estimate the Samsung General
Unsecured Claim.  Furthermore, the Parties have agreed to defer
until post-Effective Date, litigation or other resolution of any
administrative claims asserted by Samsung.

Accordingly, the Debtors seek entry of an order approving the
terms of the Stipulation pursuant to Rule 9019 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, which grants the Court authority
to approve settlements of claims and controversies after notice
and a hearing.

Specifically, the Stipulation provides, inter alia:

  (i) the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the
       Bankruptcy Code and any other equitable injunction issued
       by the Court will be lifted  and Samsung may continue
       prosecution of its patent litigation effective as of the
       Debtors' emergence from chapter 11;

(ii) The Parties agree to exempt Samsung and its prepetition
      and postpetition claims from the releases and discharge of
      claims under the Plan to allow those claims to be
      liquidated in the Patent Proceedings;

(iii) The Samsung General Unsecured Claim and any administrative
      claims against the Debtors shall be liquidated in the
      Patent Proceedings with any recovery ultimately obtained
      by Samsung on account of the Samsung General Unsecured
      Claim being an Allowed Class 5B Claim under the Plan;

(iv) The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will
      withhold and reserve shares of New Spansion Common Stock
      sufficient for distribution to Samsung in the event the
      Samsung General Unsecured Claim becomes an Allowed Claim
      in the amount of $75 million pending resolution of the
      Samsung General Unsecured Claim; and

  (v) Samsung agrees that it will not file an objection to
      confirmation of the Plan.

                    Spansion Japan Objects

Spansion Japan Limited asserts that not only does the Motion fail
to satisfy basic due process requirements of the Bankruptcy Code
and Bankruptcy Rules, the Motion is procedurally and
substantively deficient and must be denied.  Spansion Japan
maintains that the Motion conveniently overlooks the fact that
the Stay Order is presently on appeal to the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware and, thus, fails to
consider whether the Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction to
consider the Motion in light of the pending appeal.

Furthermore, Spansion Japan avers that the Motion completely
ignores its Chapter 15 proceeding and the Stay Order in Chapter
15 proceeding.  Accordingly, Spansion Japan notes, even if the
Debtors have exercised proper business judgment in entering into
a stipulation with Samsung, they have absolutely no right to
unilaterally modify the Stay Order in Spansion Japan's Chapter 15
proceeding.

In its supplemental objection, Spansion Japan asks Samsung to
clarify its intent with respect to the ITC Action.  According to
Karen B. Skomorucha, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., in
Wilmington, Delaware, attorney for Spansion Japan Limited,
Samsung was less than clear on whether it was its expectation
that it would be able to proceed with the Samsung ITC Action once
the conditions in the Stipulation have been met.  Ms. Skomorucha
asserts that the Stay Order doesn't stay the Samsung ITC Action
only as to Spansion Japan -- it stayed the Samsung ITC Action in
its entirety.

                    Debtors File Supplement

The Debtors relate that the Ad Hoc Consortium of Convertible
Debentures requested that any order approving the Stipulation
expressly provide that the reserve to be created in connection
with the Plan for Samsung's prepetition claims not be considered
in any valuation determination in connection with confirmation.
Moreover, the Debtors note, the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors expressed some concern about the amount of the Reserve
and also requested that the Stipulation be amended to permit
parties-in-interest to seek future reductions of the Reserve.

According to the Debtors, they understand that Samsung will be
proposing some language to provide for future adjustments of the
Reserve.  Even with the adjustment language, the Debtors believe
the Stipulation is reasonable appropriate and should be approved.

The Debtors tell the Court that the primary agreement reflected
in the Stipulation is that the Debtors will not attempt to
adjudicate Samsung's patent infringement claims in the Court and
in exchange, Samsung will not stand in the way of the Debtors'
efforts to reorganize and confirm the Plan.  The Debtors aver
that permitting future adjustments of the Reserve by the Court
runs counter to that primary agreement.  As to the Committee's
concerns about the size of the Reserve, the Debtors assert that
it is reasonable under the circumstances and that the Stipulation
taken as a whole satisfies the four-prong test for settlements.

The Debtors maintain that the purpose of the Reserve is four-
fold:

  (a) It puts the cap on Samsung's recovery in the Debtors'
      cases on account of its prepetition claims.  Because the
      Reserve acts as a cap on Samsung's prepetition claims, it
      was necessarily set at what the Debtors consider to be the
      high range of what damages Samsung ultimately might be
      awarded and without considering any offsetting recovery on
      account of the Debtors' claims against Samsung;

  (b) It effectively liquidates Samsung's prepetition claims for
      distribution purposes, a necessary step in the Debtors'
      ability to make distributions to creditors under the Plan
      if it is confirmed;

  (c) It obviates the need for the Court to further adjudicate
      the merits and amount of Samsung's prepetition claims; and

  (d) It ensures that Samsung will receive a recovery under the
      Plan if its claims are ultimately allowed in an amount
      that exceeds any damages awarded to the Debtors in the
      underlying patent litigations.

The Debtors assert that in the absence of the Stipulation, they
would not be able to make a distribution of New Common Stock to
holders of allowed Class 5 Claims until they have made sufficient
provision for Samsung's claims.

                      Samsung's Statement

In response to the Committee's objection, Samsung avers that
there is no basis in the Bankruptcy Code to artificially cap its
General Unsecured Claims without due process, so it would not be
possible to cap its General Unsecured Claims without liquidating
or estimating them.  According to Samsung, it is undisputed that
its General Unsecured Claims are extremely complex, and that
liquidating them could take years.  Samsung adds that an
estimation proceeding would also be complex, and thus time-
consuming, and the Debtors have acknowledged it may not yield a
result that accurately predicts the outcome of the litigation.

Samsung maintains that the Stipulation is not directed to
Spansion Japan and does not modify or vacate any stay in Spansion
Japan's Chapter 15 case.

SPANSION INC: Wants Tessera Claim Estimated at Under $1 Mil.
------------------------------------------------------------
Spansion Inc. and its units ask the Court to determine the maximum
amount of any alleged administrative expense claim held or
asserted by Tessera, Inc., at an amount substantially less than
$1 million for the purpose of demonstrating the feasibility of
their Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated
December 16, 2009.

Tessera and the Debtors are currently engaged in patent
litigation.  In its Disclosure Statement Objection, Tessera
contended that it will successfully assert an administrative
expense claim for patent and infringement for hundreds of
millions of dollars.

According to the Debtors, Tessera has no valid patent
infringement claims against them.  The Debtors are confident that
when Tessera's alleged claims are liquidated in a non-bankruptcy
forum, the amount of those claims will be zero.  However, the
Debtors are mindful of the need to proceed to confirmation on
February 11, 2010, and of the fact that the Court is not inclined
to liquidate intellectual property claims.  Accordingly, for the
purposes of estimation in the context of a determination, the
Debtors will request that the Court determine the maximum amount
of their alleged, potential liability to Tessera, without
examining the underlying liability issues.

Tessera filed on January 31, 2006, an amended complaint in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
against numerous defendants, including Spansion Inc., Spansion
Technology, Inc., and Spansion LLC, alleging infringement of five
patents:

   (i) U.S. Patent No. 5,679,977;
  (ii) U.S. Patent No. 5,852,326;
(iii) U.S. Patent No. 6,433,419;
  (iv) U.S. Patent No. 6,465,893; and
   (v) U.S. Patent No. 6,133,627.

Only four of the patents were asserted against Spansion.

                        Tessera Objects

Tessera objects to the Debtors' request for an order determining
and estimating the maximum amount of any of its administrative
expense claims at an amount substantially less than $1 million.
According to Tessera, the only way to arrive at that de minimis
figure for the compensation rightfully due to it for the Debtors'
ongoing and adjudicated patent infringement would be to both
blindly accept the Debtors' incomplete sales data and to
completely ignore fundamental and mandatory principles of patent
damages law.

Carl D. Neff, Esq., at Ciardi Ciardi & Astin, in Wilmington,
Delaware, counsel for Tessera, Inc., avers that the Estimation
Motion improperly invites resolution of the patent liability
issues; asks the Court to ignore, or fundamentally misapply, the
required legal principles for assessing patent damages;
erroneously shifts to Tessera the burdens associated with the
Debtors' failure to produce sufficient evidence to reliably
estimate the maximum available patent damages for all of the
Debtors' potentially infringing sales; and improperly seeks to
"determine" rather than to "estimate" Tessera's claim.

STATION CASINOS: Committee Request for Sierra as Expert Denied
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court issued a formal order denying, without
prejudice, the application by the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors in Station Casinos Inc.'s case to retain Sierra
Consulting Group, LLC.  The Court notes however that the Creditors
Committee may renew the Application at a later date.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Station Casinos,
Inc., and its affiliated debtors sought the Court's authority to
retain Sierra Consulting Group, LLC, as its consulting expert,
effective as of October 9, 2009.  The Committee determined that it
requires the services of a consulting expert to review and analyze
the report of Odyssey Capital Group, LLC, and to assist Quinn
Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges, LLP, in its investigation into
the transactions executed in or about November 2007, pursuant to
which SCI became a privately-held company, including, by way of
illustration, assistance with respect to whether the Master Lease
is a "true" lease or can be recharacterized as a disguised secured
financing.

The Debtors, prior to the hearing, objected to the proposed
retention complaining that it is problematic for two reasons:

  (1) The Committee already has a Court-approved financial
      advisor, Moelis & Company, LLC, that was engaged with a
      broad mandate to provide the Committee with financial
      advisory services, and the Application contains no
      justification whatsoever for the Committee's attempt to
      engage yet another financial advisor.

  (2) The Committee's decision to attempt to hire Sierra
      evidences a fixation with conducting a comprehensive
      investigation of the November 2007 Transaction that
      completely ignores the fact that the Debtors, through the
      Special Litigation Committee established by the SCI Board,
      has already conducted an investigation, the results of
      which have been filed with the Court and available to the
      Committee.

"You don't need that person, because you already have a qualified
person," Judge Zive said at the hearing.  Judge Zive's denial,
however, is without prejudice for the Creditors' Committee to
raise the request again.  The judge said hiring another firm could
create disagreement in the same group of creditors.

STATION CASINOS: Proposes to Hike DIP Financing to $185 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
Station Casinos, Inc. and its affiliated debtors and debtors-in-
possession ask Judge Gregg W. Zive of the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Nevada for an order modifying the Final
DIP Order entered on October 13, 2009, to:

  (a) increase the aggregate amount of loans that Vista
      Holdings, LLC, may make to SCI pursuant to and in
      accordance with the requirements of the Final DIP Order
      from the current amount of $150,000,000 to the increased
      discretionary amount of $185,000,000;

  (b) modify the DIP Credit Agreement to extend the "outside"
      maturity date of the DIP Credit Agreement from the current
      date of February 10, 2010 to August 10, 2010;

  (c) to provide that the DIP Credit Agreement and the
      promissory note issued pursuant thereto will be deemed to
      be modified to implement the changes for all purposes and
      no further written agreement between Vista and SCI will be
      required to implement the modifications requested by the
      Motion; and

  (c) to provide that as amended by an entered order, all of the
      relief provided for in the Final DIP Order, and the DIP
      Credit Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

On December 11, 2009, the Court heard and granted the joint motion
of SCI and FCP PropCo, LLC, for an order approving an Amended and
Restated Master Lease Compromise Agreement concerning the Master
Lease Compromise Agreement dated as of November 19, 2009, made by
SCI and the Operating Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and PropCo,
on the other hand.

In connection with negotiation with the Prepetition Lenders for
approval of the Compromise Agreement, SCI agreed that current cash
rent -- the Reduced Rent -- payable by SCI to PropCo for the
months of December, 2009, January 2010 and February 2010 would be
paid first from available cash at Vista.

According to Thomas R. Kreller, Esq., at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley &
McCloy LLP, in Los Angeles, California, Vista has adequate cash
reserves to pay Reduced Rent in December 2009, January 2010 and
February 2010.  However, SCI's prior borrowing activity from Vista
has left it with inadequate remaining borrowing authority to
borrow from Vista sufficient funds to make the Reduced Rent
payments.  For this reason, and to facilitate additional borrowing
from Vista's available cash reserves, good cause exists to
increase SCI's previously authorized debtor-in-possession
borrowing authorization under the Final DIP Order from the
original amount of $150,000,000 to the increased amount of
$185,000,000, provided that all borrowings and the repayment
thereof and any rights related thereto will be on the same terms
and conditions as are set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement and
the Final DIP Order, Mr. Kreller asserts.

The DIP Credit Agreement attached to the Final DIP Order
contemplated, in the definition of "Maturity Date," an outside
maturity date of February 10, 2010.  Mr. Kreller says SCI and
Vista are willing to extend the outside maturity date to
August 10, 2010, to facilitate SCI's continued access to DIP
financing from Vista under the same terms and conditions as are
set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement and the Final DIP Order.
For this reason, and to facilitate additional borrowing from
Vista's available cash reserves, good cause exists to approve an
amendment of the DIP Credit Agreement to so extend the outside
maturity date to August 10, 2010, Mr. Kreller tells the Court.

            Vista Holdings Agrees With the Request

Vista informed the Court that it consents and agrees to the
increase in the discretionary maximum of the loan from
$150,000,000 to $185,000,000 and to extend the outside maturity
date of the DIP Credit Agreement from February 10, 2010, to
August 10, 2010.

The Prepetition Agent, by its counsel Simpson, Thacher and
Bartlett, has consented on behalf of Prepetition Lenders to the
entry of the order and the relief requested by SCI.

                    January 28 Hearing

The Debtors sought and obtained from the Court an order scheduling
the hearing on the Motion on January 28, 2010.

The maturity date of the DIP Credit Agreement is February 10,
2010.  SCI anticipates that it will have need for borrowing from
Vista after February 10, 2010, and proposes to extend the maturity
date of the DIP Credit Agreement to August 10, 2010.

In order to satisfy its obligations to FCP PropCo, LLC, SCI must
extend the maturity date and increase its borrowing authority
under the Final DIP Order.  If the Motion is not heard prior to
February 10, 2010, SCI will not be able to timely make the Reduced
Rent payment due on February 10, 2010, pursuant to the terms of
the Compromise.

Thomas M. Friel, executive vice president, chief accounting
officer and treasurer of Station Casinos, Inc., filed declarations
in support of the Motion and the request to hear the Motion
expeditiously.

STATION CASINOS: Resolves Independent Lenders Plea for Examiner
---------------------------------------------------------------
Station Casinos Inc. and its units ask the Bankruptcy Court to
approve a stipulation they entered into with the Independent
Lenders -- BNP Paribas; General Electric Capital Corporation;
Genesis CLO; Natixis; Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd.; The Bank
of Nova Scotia; Union Bank, N.A.; and U.S. Bank National
Association -- resolving the Independent Lenders' request for
appointment of an Examiner.

As the hearing on the Examiner Motion approached, the Independent
Lenders and Debtors commenced earnest discussions about settling
the Examiner Motion.  Those discussions ultimately led to an
agreement that was reached on the morning of the scheduled hearing
and that was announced on the record at that hearing.

Paul S. Aronzon, Esq., at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, in
Los Angeles, California, says the Stipulation was driven by the
parties' desire to consensually resolve certain concerns raised by
the Independent Lenders in the Examiner Motion while also avoiding
the additional costs that could be imposed on the estates if an
examiner was appointed.

The Stipulation provides that:

  (a) the Examiner Motion will be withdrawn without prejudice;

  (b) if the Independent Lenders decide to re-file the Examiner
      Motion or any similar request seeking the appointment of
      an examiner they will not do so before February 20,2010,
      nor will they seek a hearing on shortened notice with
      respect to any re-filed motion or similar request;

  (c) the Debtors will have bi-weekly status meetings or
      conference calls with the Independent Lenders, and provide
      the Independent Lenders with information updates and due
      diligence materials;

  (d) the Debtors will provide counsel for the Independent
      Lenders with no less than l0 business days a written
      notice of their intent to enter into any agreement that
      would restrict, impair or limit the transferability of
      claims under the OpCo Loan, including agreements that
      restrict, impair or limit the sale, assignment or
      participation of those claims;

  (e) Debtors will (a) pay the reasonable fees and costs
      incurred prior to October 31, 2009 by the legal and
      financial advisors to the Independent Lenders; and (b) pay
      the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent
      Lenders' legal and financial advisors for the period
      commencing on November 1, 2009, subject to an aggregate,
      monthly cap of $300,000.  Any unused portion of any given
      month's fee cap will carry forward and be applied in
      future months.  Payment for the foregoing expenses will be
      made within 15 days after receipt of the invoices;

  (f) The Parties agree that all rights are reserved with
      respect to fees and expenses incurred by the Independent
      Lenders that are not provided to be paid pursuant to the
      Stipulation;

  (g) Debtors will provide the Independent Lenders with copies
      of materials related to any offer to acquire any material
      portion of the Debtors' estates within two business days
      of receipt of an offer.

Richard J. Haskins, executive vie president, general counsel, and
secretary of Station Casinos, Inc., filed a declaration in support
of the request to approve the stipulation.

The Court will convene a hearing on January 25, 2010, at
10:00 a.m. to consider the Stipulation.

                           Objections

(a) Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors argues that the
Stipulation presented is neither "fair" nor "reasonable."  In
fact, the Committee says, because there is no legal basis shown
for the Debtors' payment of legal fees to the Independent Lenders
and because the Stipulation is not in the interest of the estate,
the Stipulation is unreasonable.  Importantly, the Committee adds,
because the only justification proffered for the payment of
millions in fees is "withdrawal without prejudice" of the
Independent Lenders' examiner motion, the Stipulation is contrary
to public policy and notions of fair play.  The motion should be
denied, the Committee asserts.  Bonnie Steingart, Esq., at Fried,
Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP, in New York, filed a
declaration in support of the objection.

(b) Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent,
said it does not oppose the Debtors' Motion, and the proposed
Examiner Stipulation, as a whole.  In fact, the Administrative
Agent supports the Debtors' decision to provide the Independent
Lenders with (a) bi-weekly status meetings or conference calls
between the Debtors and the Dissenting Lenders, and (b) other
information updates and due diligence materials as may be
requested by the Dissenting Lenders.

The Administrative Agent, however objects to the Motion and the
proposed Examiner Stipulation solely with respect to (i) the
requested payment of fees and expenses to the Independent Lenders
because because the payments will violate the OpCo Cash Collateral
Stipulation and (ii) the requirement that the Debtors deliver to
the Independent Lenders each and every plan of reorganization term
sheet or proposal that the Debtors deliver to the Administrative
Agent because the disclosure will (a) significantly impair the
ability of the Debtors and the Administrative Agent to negotiate a
consensual plan of reorganization and (b) effectively nullify the
important protections afforded to the Administrative Agent under
Rule 408 of the Federal Rule of Evidence.  Jason Friedman, Esq.,
at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, in New York, filed a
declaration in support of the Objection.

                        Parties Stipulate

Under Rule 9006 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and
Local Rule 9014 of the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Reno Nevada, replies to the Objections
are due seven days prior to the hearing on the Motion, which is
scheduled for January 25, 2010.  However, seven days prior to the
hearing is Monday, January 18, 2010 which is a federal holiday,
and, therefore, replies are due on Friday, January 15, 2010.

The Independent Lenders, the Debtors, the Committee, and Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, have agreed, with the approval of the
Court, that the deadline for filing any replies to Objections will
be extended to and including January 19, 2010.

            Independent Lenders and Debtors Respond

The Examiner Settlement is the product of extensive, arms-length
negotiations between the Debtors and the Independent Lenders.
Neither side got everything that it wanted, but, by the same
token, neither side sacrificed all that it would have if the Court
had ruled against it on the underlying Examiner Motion, Sallie B.
Armstrong, Esq., at Downey Brand, in Reno, Nevada, tells the
Court.

In that sense, the Independent Lenders say, the Examiner
Settlement is just right, and utterly ordinary.  Settlements like
this are the cornerstone of chapter 11 practice, Ms. Armstrong
explains.  Moreover, the Examiner Settlement has the additional
virtue of facilitating a more open, transparent and participatory
plan process and a "level playing field" - although, ironically,
these virtues may help explain the opposition to the Settlement
from the Agent and the Committee, the Independent Lenders add.

Now, however, after the deal has been cut, the Committee and the
Agent, who would have preferred that the Examiner Motion be
denied, rather than settled, are unhappy with the deal.  Ms.
Armstrong asserts that to a great extent, these criticisms are
nothing more than Monday-morning quarterbacking.  Unlike the
Debtors and the Independent Lenders, neither the Agent nor the
Committee faced any risks or exposure in connection with the
Examiner Motion, so it is fairly easy for them now to take pot
shots at the heavily negotiated Examiner Settlement, Ms. Armstrong
avers.

While the Debtors believed strongly that they had the better of
both the legal and factual arguments, leaving resolution of the
Examiner Motion to a determination of the Court would expose the
estates to the possibility that the Court would disagree with the
Debtors and that an examiner would be appointed and deputized to
pursue a broader scope of work than the Debtors believe would be
appropriate.  If that possibility came to fruition, the Debtors
believed that their efforts to focus on a plan of reorganization
would be sidetracked and that the estates could be obligated to
pay fees to an examiner and his/her professionals in amounts that
could significantly exceed the fees that would be paid to the
Independent Lenders under the Stipulation.

STONE ENERGY: Receives Consents From Senior Note Holders
--------------------------------------------------------
Stone Energy Corporation announced that it had received, as of
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 25, 2010, tenders and
consents from holders of over 96.6% of the aggregate principal
amount of its outstanding 8 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2011 in connection with its previously announced tender offer and
consent solicitation for the Notes, which commenced on January 11,
2010 and is described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent
Solicitation Statement dated January 11, 2010.

Stone intends to execute a supplemental indenture to the indenture
governing the Notes to permit Stone to redeem the Notes on as
little as three days prior written notice.  The Supplemental
Indenture will not become operative until a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes has been purchased by
Stone pursuant to the terms of the tender offer and the consent
solicitation, which is expected to occur today, January 26.

Stone's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any
Notes pursuant to the tender offer is subject to a number of
conditions that are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including
the closing today of Stone's previously announced public offering
of $275 million of 8.625% senior notes due 2017.  Subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of these conditions, on January 26, all
Holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their
Notes prior to the Consent Expiration will receive total
consideration equal to $1002.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the
Notes, which includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000
principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on
the Notes up to, but not including, the payment date for such
Notes.

Holders who tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes after
the Consent Expiration and prior to the expiration of the tender
offer, will be entitled to receive consideration equal to $972.50
per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the payment
date for such Notes accepted for purchase.  Holders of Notes
tendered after the Consent Expiration will not receive a consent
payment.  The tender offer will expire at 9:00 a.m., New York City
Time, on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, unless extended by Stone in
its sole discretion.

Any Notes not tendered and purchased pursuant to the tender offer
will remain outstanding and the holders will be subject to the
terms of the Supplemental Indenture even though they did not
consent to the amendments.

Stone has engaged BofA Merrill Lynch as Dealer Manager for the
tender offer.  Persons with questions regarding the tender offer
should contact BofA Merrill Lynch at (888) 292-0070 (toll free) or
(980) 388-4603 (collect).  Requests for copies of the Offer to
Purchase or other tender offer materials may be directed to D. F.
King & Co., Inc., the Information Agent, at (888) 567-1626 (toll
free) or (212) 269-5550 (collect).

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan 14, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa1 (LGD 4, 61%) rating to
Stone Energy Corp.'s new senior unsecured notes offering.  At the
same time, Moody's changed Stone's outlook to positive from stable
and upgraded Stone's Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to SGL-2
from SGL-3.  Moody's also affirmed Stone's B3 Corporate Family
Rating and B3 Probability of Default Rating.

The proceeds from the new $250 million new senior unsecured notes
offering will be used to fund the tender of the company's existing
$200 million 8.25% senior subordinated notes as well as general
corporate purposes.  The addition of the senior unsecured notes
combined with the $405 million senior secured credit facility
result in greater senior debt in the capital structure relative to
the subordinated notes.  Under Moody's Loss Given Default
Methodology, the remaining subordinated notes are being double-
notched from the CFR to Caa2 (LGD 5, 89%) from Caa1 (LGD 4, 62%).
The ratings on the 8.25% senior subordinated notes will be
withdrawn at close of the tender.

TERREL REID: Asks for Feb. 26 Schedules Filing Deadline
-------------------------------------------------------
Terrel R. Reid and Sharon M. Davies have asked the U.S. Bankruptcy
court for the District of Idaho to extend the deadline for the
filing of schedules and statements of financial affairs, schedules
of current income and expenses, and schedules of executor
contracts and leases by an additional 30 days until February 26,
2010.

The Debtors estimate that they have as many as 33 creditors and
equity security holders.  The Debtors say that to properly
identify each creditor and equity interest holder, they must
review voluminous records and booking entries to obtain the
highest level of accuracy possible under the circumstances of this
case, and also prepare a schedule of all of their executory
contracts and leases, which require careful sifting through pages
of documents.  The Debtors state that they have multiple parcels
of real property, which must be properly and accurately valued.
The Debtors also have personal property which is intermingled with
personal property owned by other entities.  It will require
careful examination and accounting to determine which items of
personal property are properly theirs.

The U.S. Trustee has requested the Court that Debtors be required
to file their schedules, statement of financial affairs, schedule
of current income and expenses, and schedule of executory
contracts and leases no later than 12:00 p.m. on February 8, 2010,
according to Robert D. Miller Jr., the Acting U.S. Trustee.  The
U.S. Trustee, is required to call a meeting of creditors no fewer
than 21 days and no more than 40 days after entry of the order for
relief in this case.  The meeting of creditors in this case has
been set for February 12, 2010.  Debtors' schedules, statement of
financial affairs and related documents are required in order to
conduct an effective meeting of creditors.  Further, these
documents are required in order for the U.S. Trustee to conduct an
effective initial debtor interview prior to the meeting of
creditors.

David W. Newman represents the U.S. Trustee.

TOPS HOLDING: Moody's Reviews 'B3' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed all ratings for Tops Holding --
including its B3 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
ratings -- on review for possible downgrade following the
announcement that Tops will acquire the Penn Traffic chain of
supermarkets.

The review will focus on the costs and benefits of the
acquisition, Tops' new capital structure, and its near-term
operating risk and liquidity needs.  The rating of the secured
notes will also consider their position in the capital structure
following changes in more senior and unsecured liabilities
following the combination of the companies.  Ratings may be
confirmed if Moody's determines that Tops' financial and operating
risks are not materially changed following the acquisition.

These ratings have been placed on review for possible downgrade:

* Corporate Family Rating of B3;
* Probability of Default Rating of B3;
* $275 million senior secured notes maturing 2015 rating of B3.

The last rating action for Tops Holding was the change in rating
outlook to negative on October 1, 2009.

Tops Holding Corp. and its primary subsidiary, Tops Markets,
headquartered in Williamsville, New York, operate a chain of 71
owned supermarkets and 5 franchised stores in western New York

TROPICANA ENT: Indiana & Nev. Gaming Boards OK Gaming Licenses
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Indiana Gaming Commission approved Tropicana Entertainment's
request for a new Indiana gaming license on January 14, 2010, the
Evansville Courier & Press reported.

However, Tropicana Entertainment must emerge from bankruptcy and
secure a $150,000,000 exit financing for its future operations
before it can regain complete control of Casino Aztar, according
to the news source.

As previously reported, Casino Aztar was previously owned by
Tropicana Entertainment LLC, which company has recently been
acquired by a group of investors led by Carl Icahn.  The Icahn
investor group contemplates renaming the newly acquired company
as Tropicana Entertainment Inc.  The parties are presently
winding up, and are on the verge of closing, the sale transaction
process.

Tom Dingman, an attorney-in-fact appointed to manage Casino
Aztar, will continue to oversee the casino until Tropicana
Entertainment emerges from bankruptcy.

Tropicana Entertainment still needs to win regulator approvals in
other states, as well as pay certain contributions it promised to
the city of Evansville nearly a year ago, before it can exit
bankruptcy.

Tropicana Entertainment President and Chief Executive Officer
Scott Butera said the Company still has to "pass muster" in
Louisiana, Nevada, and New Jersey.  He adds that he hopes to
"win" the needed approvals by the end of February, the Evansville
Courier & Press noted.

Tropicana Entertainment is also "working on a master plan for
Aztar, one that may be changed if the Indiana Legislature decides
to allow casinos on land, Mr. Butera told Courier & Press.  He
added that Casino Aztar is expected to be one of Tropicana
Entertainment's "best money-makers."

Courier & Press noted that the possibility of replacing the Aztar
riverboat has been brought up in discussions between Mayor
Jonathan Weinzapfel and Tropicana Entertainment.

According to 14wfie.com, the idea of moving riverboat casinos to
land are getting mixed reactions from Indiana residents.  One
resident, Osvando Lopez, thinks that there are other ways to
generate revenue and tourism.  Another resident, Gloria Bryant,
said that Casino Aztar "needs to be able to be competitive as
well as the other casinos in Indiana."

There are also mixed reactions to the General Assembly's drafting
of legislation aimed at "keeping Hoosier [casino] gamblers from
going out of state," 14wfie reported.  The bill suggests doing
away with requirements for casinos to be riverboats.

Lawmakers think that the move will "free up" around $2,000,000
for casino improvements and advertising.  However, Casino Aztar
Trustee, Mr. Dingman, said that "the legislation would not make
much difference [to them]."  14wfie quoted Mr. Dingman as saying,
"We still take the boat out several times a year to dredge . . .
And we are still under the coast guard jurisdiction. So again
that's certainly an option someone is going to have to figure out
does that make sense for us."

If the bill passes and riverboat casinos can move inland, Casino
Aztar's owner, Tropicana Entertainment, will have to make the
final decision, according to Mr. Dingman.  If the bill passes, it
will go before the entire Senate, 14wfie noted.

Mr. Dingman said that some aspects of the proposed bill,
including the $50,000,000 fee for the relocation to land, is
"going to be problematic for anyone who has to do the business
analysis," according to 14wfie.

In a separate report, on January 21, 2010, the Nevada Gaming
Commission approved the licensing of the Icahn group's Tropicana
Entertainment LLC to control three Nevada properties and position
the company to oversee nine casinos in four states.  Tropicana
Entertainment is now licensed to operate the Tropicana Express
and River Palms casinos in Laughlin, and the MontBlue in
Stateline, according to Las Vegas Sun.

LV Sun also noted that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware has approved Tropicana Entertainment's request to
register as a publicly traded company, Tropicana Entertainment
Inc., this month.  Tropicana Entertainment's licensing positions
Mr. Icahn to "bring" all his casino entities under one umbrella
company, LV Sun said.

TRIBUNE CO: Court Approves Payment of $45 Million in Bonuses
------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press and Editor & Publisher report that Judge
Kevin Carey on Wednesday approved bonuses of up to $45 million for
hundreds of Tribune Co. managers, including its top 10 executives.
According to the report, Judge Carey overruled objections by the
Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild and the U.S. bankruptcy
trustee, saying the 2009 incentive plan covering some 720
employees was justified.

The report notes the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, which
represents about 230 employees of The Sun, argued that the bonuses
were unwarranted.  The Guild was joined in its objection by the
U.S. trustee, two Baltimore-based Teamsters locals, and the
Newspaper Guild of New York, which represents 29 employees at
television station WPIX.

Judge Carey, according to the report, held that Tribune is
operating in a troubled industry which has seen roughly a dozen
large media companies seek bankruptcy protection.  "Here, the
evidence demonstrates that the debtor was performing well relative
to its competitors," the report quotes Judge Carey as saying. "I
conclude that the relief requested is justified by the facts and
circumstances of the case."

TROPICANA ENT: NJ Debtors Cash Collateral Period Moved to Feb. 28
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The New Jersey Debtors, namely Adamar of New Jersey, Inc., and its
affiliate, Manchester Mall, Inc., seek a further extension of
their right to use the Cash Collateral of their Prepetition
Lenders, to enable them to pay their postpetition ordinary and
necessary business expenses pending the closing of the sale of
substantially all of their assets.

Bankruptcy Court Judge Wizmur for the District of New Jersey
previously extended the New Jersey Debtors' access to the Cash
Collateral through January 31, 2010.  The current extension
request is the New Jersey Debtors' second request for an
extension of their Cash Collateral use.

Given that the New Jersey Debtors do not anticipate the closing
of their asset sale to occur by January 31, the parties have
informed the Court they have agreed to extend the Sale Closing

also seek continued access to their Cash Collateral while working
towards the closing of the Sale.

& Leonard, P.A., in Hackensack, New Jersey, the Prepetition
Agent, at the direction of certain Prepetition Lenders, and the
Steering Committee of Prepetition Lenders have consented to an
extension of the Cash Collateral use.

Accordingly, the parties entered into a Court-approved
stipulation, which provides, among other things, that:

  (a) The New Jersey Debtors are authorized to continue to use
      the Cash Collateral in accordance with the terms and
      conditions of the Final Cash Collateral Order, as amended

      2010.

  (b) The terms, conditions and provisions of the Final Cash
      Collateral Order, as amended by the Cash Collateral
      Extension Order, will remain in full force and effect
      through Feb. 28, 2010, except that the words "December 31,
      2009" in paragraph 15(iv) of the Final Cash Collateral
      Order will be replaced with "February 28, 2010."

  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary or otherwise
      noted in the Order, the New Jersey Debtors' use of Cash
      Collateral between December 31, 2009, and through
      January 31, 2010, to pay their postpetition ordinary and
      necessary business expenses and fund the administration of
      their Chapter 11 cases is subject to the terms, conditions
      and provisions of a budget, which can be accessed for

TROPICANA ENT: NJ Debtors Get March 25 Plan Filing Extension
------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 1121(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, Adamar of New
Jersey, Inc., and its affiliate, Manchester Mall, Inc., obtained
an extension of their period to file a plan of reorganization
through March 25, 2010, and their exclusive period to solicit
acceptances of that plan through May 24, 2010.

As previously reported, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey approved the Amended and Restated Purchase
Agreement for the sale of substantially all of the New Jersey
Debtors' assets on November 4, 2009.  The New Jersey Casino
Control Commission subsequently approved and authorized on
November 19, 2009, Justice Gary S. Stein, in his exclusive role a
conservator of Adamar of New Jersey, Inc., to execute the Amended
Agreement.

The parties, however, must obtain additional regulatory approvals
and waivers before the closing of the sale transaction.  The New
Jersey Debtors understand that those regulatory approvals and
waivers are expected to occur before January 31, 2010, or at a
later date as extended in accordance with the terms of the
Amended Agreement, Ilana Volkov, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel,

As a result of the expected timing of the various remaining
regulatory approvals and the Sale Closing, the New Jersey Debtors
seek a 90-day extension of their Exclusive Periods.

The requested extension, Ms. Volkov asserts, will not prejudice
the right of the New Jersey Debtors to seek further extensions of
the Exclusive Periods or the right of any party-in-interest to
seek to reduce the Exclusive Periods for cause.

TROPICANA ENT: NJCC Extends Adamar Sale Deadline Thru June 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------
The New Jersey Casino Control Commission has "reluctantly"
extended the date by which the sale of the assets of Adamar of
New Jersey, Inc., is required to be completed and consummated
through June 4, 2010, according to pressofAtlanticCity.com.

The NJ Commission previously granted a sale deadline through
January 31, 2010.

Adamar owns the Tropicana Casino and Resort Atlantic City.  The
Adamar asset sale was mandated by the New Jersey Casino Control
Commission in late 2007, holding that the Company did not satisfy
the requirement for re-licensure.  Former Justice Gary S. Stein,
as trustee/conservator of Adamar, was required to dispose all the
equity and assets of Adamar.  Accordingly, Adamar of New Jersey,
doing business as Tropicana Casino and Resort Atlantic City, and
its affiliate, Manchester Mall, Inc., otherwise referred to as
the "New Jersey Debtors," filed for bankruptcy protection in
April 2009 for the purpose of effectuating the sale of all their
assets and of enabling Justice Stein to comply with the
applicable statutory requirements and rulings of the NJ
Commission.

A group of investors led by Carl C. Icahn won the bid to take
Tropicana LLC out of bankruptcy, with a plan to replace it with a
public company called Tropicana Entertainment Inc.  The U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey approved an
Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, embodying the sale of
substantially all of the New Jersey Debtors' assets on Nov. 4,
2009.  TEI plans to fold the New Jersey-based Tropicana Casino
and Resort Atlantic City into its corporate umbrella of casinos
in Nevada, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Indiana.

The buyers of the Adamar Assets, the Icahn group, are required to
obtain additional regulatory approvals and waivers before a
closing on the sale transaction can occur.  The regulatory
approvals are required for states where the Icahn Group operates
casinos.  The states of Mississippi, Indiana, and Nevada have
already granted regulatory approval.  New Jersey will be the
"last state [to give its regulatory approval], but its review
will be more extensive and complicated," the
pressofatlanticcity.com noted.

The steering committee for Tropicana's prepetition secured
lenders on January 11, 2010, formally filed its petition with the
NJ Commission, seeking interim casino authorization.  A hearing
on the ICA Petition has not been scheduled, and the New Jersey
Debtors have been advised that it does not appear feasible for
the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and the NJ
Commission to complete review of the submitted materials in time
for the January 20, 2010 regularly scheduled NJ Commission
hearing.

Justice Stein thus filed a petition with the NJ Commission,
requesting a further extension of the sale consummation period
through March 31, 2010.  The NJ Commission, however, granted
Adamar another five-month extension of the sale consummation.
The current ruling is the 11th extension of the sale period since
Tropicana Casino Atlantic City was put up on sale, the
pressofatlanticcity.com notes.

NJCC Chair Linda M. Kassekert is hopeful the casino sale will
finally be completed before the expiration of the current June
2010 deadline, according to pressofatlanticcity.com.  She
nevertheless held that state regulators need more time to
complete review of an interim casino license, the report noted.
NJCC Commission Michael C. Epps, on the other hand, expressed
disgust on the once-again delayed sale closing, the report added.
He said he only consents to a further sale extension to preserve
jobs for the Tropicana Atlantic City workers.

Gilbert L. Brooks, attorney for the Icahn Group, told the news
source that with all issues noted, the buyers expect the sale to
close by early April.

The Icahn Group also needs to secure an interim casino
authorization, which is a "temporary license allowing them to
take charge of Tropicana," PAC said.  After that, the New Jersey
gaming regulators would begin the investigative process for a
full license, according to PAC.

In the meantime, Tropicana Atlantic City remains under the
control of Justice Stein.

to properly and accurately complete the schedules within the
required 14-day time period.

US TELEPACIFIC: S&P Puts 'CCC+' Rating on CreditWatch Positive
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed its 'CCC+'
corporate credit rating on Los Angeles-based competitive local
exchange carrier U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp. on CreditWatch
with positive implications.  S&P also assigned a 'CCC+' issue-
level rating and a '5' recovery rating to the company's proposed
$25 million senior secured revolver and $360 million term loan due
2015.  Net proceeds of $360 million will be used to repay its
existing $322 million credit facility, add about $14 million of
cash to the balance sheet, and pay $24 million in related fees and
expenses.  The ratings are based on preliminary documents and
subject to satisfactory review of final documentation.

"Upon successful completion of the proposed financing and assuming
that financial maintenance covenants provide the company with
sufficient headroom," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Allyn
Arden, "we will raise the corporate credit rating to 'B-' from
'CCC+'."  The issue-level rating on the proposed bank loan
reflects the prospective upgrade of the corporate credit rating.
The outlook will be stable.  Also upon completion of the
transaction, S&P will withdraw the ratings on the company's
existing credit facility as that debt will be repaid.  S&P expects
total funded debt to be about $396 million.

"We plan to resolve the CreditWatch and to take the rating actions
outlined above upon the successful completion of the proposed
financing plan," continued Mr. Arden.  "S&P's prospective rating
reflects its expectation that the company's operating performance
will remain stable over the next year and that the cushion under
the proposed bank facility financial covenants will be at least
10%."


US TELEPACIFIC: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Rating on New Senior Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B2 rating to US
TelePacific Corporation's new senior secured credit facilities,
consisting of a $25 million revolver and a $360 million term loan.
The proceeds of the new financing will be used to repay the
existing first and second lien term loans and bolster the
company's cash balances.

As part of the rating action, Moody's upgraded TelePacific's
corporate family rating and probability of default rating, each to
B2 from B3.  In addition, Moody's changed the rating outlook to
stable from negative.  The rating actions reflect the improved
liquidity and demonstrated strength of operating performance,
notwithstanding severe economic conditions in the company's
markets, both of which lend support to higher ratings via
expectations of future revenue growth, deleveraging and free cash
flow generation.

The new credit facilities are rated B2, in line with the CFR as
the first lien debt comprises substantially all of the company's
liabilities and no longer receives a recovery cushion from the
second lien term loan which will be repaid.  Moody's will withdraw
the ratings on the current first lien credit facility at closing.
Moody's does not rate the Company's second lien term loan.

Rating Actions

Issuer: U.S. TelePacific Corporation

* Corporate Family Rating -- Upgraded to B2 from B3

* Probability of Default Rating -- Upgraded to B2 from B3

* Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility -- Assigned, B2, LGD3-
  44%

* 1st Lien Term Loan -- Assigned, B2, LGD3-44%

Outlook Actions:

  -- Outlook, Changed To Stable From Negative

TelePacific's B2 corporate family rating reflects the Company's
ongoing turnaround, with its service territories in California and
Nevada having been among the first hit by the collapse of the real
estate market in 2007.  Over that time, the Company has been
resilient in a difficult operating and liquidity strapped
environment, delivering quarter-over-quarter revenue growth over
the last four quarters while many peer competitive telecom
providers are still experiencing revenue declines.  The rating
also benefits from TelePacific's position as the largest CLEC in
the California and Nevada markets, which are relatively less
competitive than other regions of the country, such as the
Northeast.  The rating is tempered, however, by the relatively
high leverage for a CLEC and continual fight for market share
among CLECs, incumbents, and, more recently, cable companies for
the targeted small business customers.

The stable outlook is based on Moody's views that the Company has
weathered the worst of the macroeconomic pressures in its markets,
and with improved liquidity to fund growth, should be in a good
position to maintain revenue and cash flow growth as the economy
continues to recover.  The ratings remain fairly prospective,
however, particularly in consideration of the ongoing challenges
management faces in operating through persistent weakness in the
California and Nevada economies and with intense competition for
its small business customers, and could come under downward
pressure if the company fails to deliver consistent free cash flow
growth and/or turns back from its recent deleveraging path.

The Company's liquidity position is enhanced by full access to its
unfunded $25 million revolver, while the new credit facility
removes the covenant pressure that the Company faced over the past
year.

Moody's acknowledges the support that TelePacific's sponsors
provided in the past, by extending a $20 million letter of credit
facility to backstop a run up of accounts payable in addition to
amending the terms of the preferred stock holdings, to which
Moody's now ascribes 25% debt attribution, down from 50%, due to
the revised perpetual nature of that security.

Moody's last rating action was on March 30, 2009, when Moody's
revised TelePacific's rating outlook to negative.

TelePacific Communications, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, is a
competitive local exchange carrier serving over 1 million access
line equivalents.


UTGR INC: Twin River Racino Headed for Confirmation Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that UTGR Inc. reached a
compromise with unsecured creditors, allowing the bankruptcy judge
to approve a disclosure statement explaining the reorganization
plan.  Instead of 5%, unsecured creditors will receive a 65%
recovery.  For a recovery estimated at 89%, first-lien creditors
owed $415 million will receive all the new stock plus a
$300 million secured note.  Second-lien creditors, owed $145
million, are to receive half of sale proceeds between $475 million
and $575 million if the facility is sold within three years. They
are to have 75% of sale proceeds above $575 million.

The Plan provides that a condition precedent to it being effective
is the passage of certain legislation by the Rhode Island General
Assembly to enhance the Debtors' financial viability, including an
extension in operating hours at Twin River to 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, and the elimination of the legislative requirement
that the Debtors must conduct live dog racing to maintain their
VLT license.

UTGR Inc. is the operator of the Twin River racetrack-casino in
Lincoln, Rhode Island.  UTGR filed for Chapter 11 on June 23
(Bankr. D. Rhode Island Case No. 09-12418).  The Debtors selected
Jager Smith P.C. as counsel, and Winograd, Shine & Zacks P.C. as
their co-counsel.  It also hired Zolfo Cooper LLC as bankruptcy
consultants and special financial advisors.  Donlin Recano serves
as claims and notice agent.  In its bankruptcy petition, the
Company estimated assets of less than $500 million and debt
exceeding $500 million.

Debtor under oath about the company's financial affairs and
operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

Saint Francisville, Louisiana-based West Feliciana Acquisition,
LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 17,
2010 (Bankr. M.D. La. Case No. 10-10053).  Louis M. Phillips,
Esq., at One American Place, assists the Company in its
restructuring effort.  The Company listed $50,000,001 to
$100,000,000 in assets and $10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in
liabilities.


WEST FELICIANA: Taps Gordon Arata as Bankruptcy Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------
West Feliciana Acquisition, L.L.C., has sought authorization from
the Hon. Douglas D. Dodd of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Middle District of Louisiana to employ Gordon, Arata, McCollum,
Duplantis & Eagan, L.L.P., as bankruptcy counsel.

Gordon Arata will, among other things:

     -- advise the debtor-in-possession of its duty to file
        monthly reports required by applicable law, rule or
        regulation; and specifically advise the debtor of the
        potential consequences of non-compliance;

     -- advise the Debtor of the prohibition against the sale of
        any of its assets outside the ordinary course of business
        without leave of court;

     -- advise the Debtor of its obligation to comply with the
        Internal Revenue Code and Internal Revenue Service
        regulations, including in particular the depository
        receipt requirements, and applicable state and local
        taxation laws; and

     -- advise the debtor-in-possession of the Operating
        Guidelines established by the Office of the United States
        Trustee.

Louis M. Phillips, a limited partner and an authorized
representative of the law firm of Gordon Arata, says that the firm
received an initial retainer before the petition date of $100,000
by the debtor-in-possession from monies owned by the debtor-in-
possession.  The retainer, according to Mr. Phillips, is designed
to secure the payment of services performed by the firm and
reimbursement of expenses incurred by the firm, for services
rendered prior to the Petition Date and subsequent to the Petition
Date.  The Debtor owes the firm approximately $25,000 for fees and
expenses for pre-petition services related to preparation for and
the filing of the Petition.  The firm, says Mr. Phillips, will
draw against monies held in trust for pre- and post-petition
services provided to the debtor-in-possession after application
to, and approval by, the Court pursuant to the United States
Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, or
in compliance with any procedure orders as may be entered by this
court.

Mr. Phillips assures the Court that Gordon Arata is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

WM BOLTHOUSE: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'B'
corporate credit rating on Bakersfield, California-based Wm.
Bolthouse Farms Inc.  The outlook is stable.  About $565 million
of debt was outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2009.

S&P also assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating to Bolthouse's
proposed $565 million new first-lien credit facility, with a
recovery rating of '2', indicating the expectation of substantial
(70%-90%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  The senior
secured credit facilities consist of a $65 million, five-year
revolving credit facility and a $500 million, six-year term loan.

In addition S&P assigned a 'CCC+' issue-level rating to the
company's proposed $225 million new second-lien credit facility,
with a recovery rating of '6', indicating the expectation of
negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
These ratings are based on preliminary terms and are subject to
review upon final documentation.  S&P will withdraw its ratings on
the existing credit facility when it is repaid.

"The rating affirmation reflects S&P's expectation for liquidity
to remain adequate, while debt increases modestly following the
proposed transaction," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Alison Sullivan.  S&P estimates pro forma lease-adjusted total
debt to EBITDA of about 5.9x, compared with 5.7x before the
transaction, for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2009.  S&P
estimates the transaction does not materially affect adjusted
funds from operations to total debt, at about 11% for the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2009.

As part of the planned refinancing, net proceeds from the issuance
will be used to redeem Bolthouse's existing credit facility and
the company's $100 million ($151 million outstanding) 12.5%
payment-in-kind (PIK) perpetual preferred stock (unrated), which
S&P had treated as debt for analytical purposes.  In addition to
eliminating the growing liability of this preferred stock, the
proposed $65 million five-year revolving credit facility,
$500 million six-year first-lien term loan, and $225 million 6.5-
year second-lien term loan will replace the company's existing
$75 million revolving credit facility due 2011, $500 million
first-lien term loan due 2012 ($406.5 million outstanding), and
$135 million second-lien term loan due 2013.  Upon closing of this
refinancing, S&P will withdraw the existing ratings on these
issues.

WOODCREST CLUB: U.S. Trustee Appoints 3-Member Creditors Panel
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 2 appointed three members to the
official committee of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 cases
of The Woodcrest Club, Inc.

The Creditors Committee members are:

1. Green Tree Packing
   Attn: Michele Bochicco, credit manager
   65 Central Avenue
   P.O. Box 386
   Passaic, NJ 07055

2. Dairyland USA Corp.
   c/o Cliff Katz, Esq.
   Platzer, Swergold, Karlin, Levine, Goldberg, Jaslow LLP
   1065 Avenue of the Americas
   New York, NY 10018

3. Main Street Wholesale Meats
   Attn: Kent Seelig, president
   210 Main Street
   Farmingdale, NY 11735

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also Attnempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

Syosset, New York-based The Woodcrest Club, Inc., operates storage
units.  The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
December 10, 2009 (Bankr. E.D. N.Y. Case No. 09-79481).  Gerard R.
Luckman, Esq., at SilvermanAcampora LLP assists the Company in its
restructuring effort.  The Company listed $10,000,001 to
$50,000,000 in assets and $1,000,001 to $10,000,000 in
liabilities.


* Bankruptcy Firms "Scramble for Crumbs" Amid Decline in Filings
----------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters' DealZone says a sharp drop in business bankruptcy filings
has restructuring advisory firms scrambling for crumbs of
business.  DealZone relates some 29 attorneys signed up to pitch
their services to the creditors committee of Mesa Air Group, which
filed for Chapter 11 protection early this month.  DealZone also
notes another 17 financial advisers showed up at the so-called
beauty pageant, anxious for new business.

"It's definitely a shift," DealZone quotes Ed Albert, managing
director at Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., who attended the
gathering, as saying.  "A sea of people is showing up.  There are
fewer bankruptcy filings, and a lot more restructuring firms were
created in the last three years."

According to DealZone, Mr. Albert also said, "It's significant
that a lot of firms at Mesa were debtor firms, which typically
pursue the bigger debtor cases for bigger fees."

According to DealZone, bankruptcydata.com says bankruptcy filings
of publicly traded companies dropped by a third in December and
January, year to date, compared to the same period last year.

DealZone also reports Mr. Albert said an attorney he met at the
Mesa pitch told him there were more hopeful hires at Mesa than at
Chrysler or General Motors, which filed for bankruptcy in 2009.
Calls to the Office of the U.S. Trustee to confirm this statistic
were not returned, according to DealZone.


* JPMorgan Expects Newspapers to Beat December Revenue Estimates
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer Saba at Editor & Publisher reports that J.P. Morgan
equity research analysts Alexia Quadrani, Monica DiCenso and
Townsend Buckles are expecting newspapers to beat their December
ad revenue estimates -- improvements that should carry on through
2010.

"We believe potential upside to estimates in Q4 and this
encouraging tone may further fuel the recent rally," the analysts
said in a recently released note said, according to Editor &
Publisher.

Editor & Publisher relates that for the companies they cover,
advertising revenue at Gannett is anticipated to decline 20% in Q4
but with top line improvement driven by recent cost cutting.
Classified advertising will remain weak but the national -- though
J.P. Morgan notes that USA Today is still "volatile" -- and retail
categories are registering improvements. Projected EBITDA in Q4 is
$349 million, up from an estimated $341 million with a 24% margin
-- the only quarter last year with a margin improvement.

Editor & Publisher relates that at The New York Times Co.,
analysts anticipated a Q4 ad revenue decline of 21% versus a
previously estimated decline of 25%.  J.P. Morgan tweaked its 2010
ad revenue projections for the company from a 9.5% drop to 7.1%,
noting the New York Times will likely outperform its peers.  For
the quarter EBITDA margins are expected to come in at 21.5%
compared to 18.5% in Q4 2008.

Editor & Publisher relates that Quadrani, DiCenso and Buckles
appear unmoved by the recent NYTimes.com metered model
announcement: "It is unclear how meaningful the revenue upside
could be in the near term given that current print subscribers
will receive online content for free as part of their
subscription."

Editor & Publisher says McClatchy is forecasted to improve in Q4
with ad revenue declines in the low 20% range but positive EBITDA
growth due to cost cutting (also in the 20% range).  Total revenue
in Q4 is expected to be down 17% because of positive circ revenue
growth.  Analysts still think McClatchy will keep cutting this
year but that its 2010 convents should remain secure.

Editor & Publisher says Q4 ad revenue should drop in the mid-teens
at E.W. Scripps -- a company that will benefit from its broadcast
division in a sure-to-be heated political year along with the
Olympics. Scripps is also in the position of carrying very little
debt -- some $20 million -- and analysts suggest that the company
could reinstate a dividend at some point in the year.

                            *********

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.
