Hon. Elizabeth W. Magner of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana granted Advocate Financial LLC
authority to employ Liskow & Lewis, A P.L.C., and Kingsmill Riess,
L.L.C., as special counsel, pursuant to Section 327(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

As part of its ongoing business, the Debtor would lend monies to
attorneys to finance their cases.  On occasion, the borrowers
would default on their loans, and it would be necessary for the
Debtor to pursue litigation against its borrowers.  Liskow & Lewis
and Kingsmill Riess represent the Debtor in two collection
matters:

     -- Liskow & Lewis:

        Byard Edwards, Jr. Law Offices, L.L.C. v. Advocate
          Financial, L.L.C.
        19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton
          Rouge, Louisiana

          Professional Law Corporation
        24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson,
          Louisiana
        No. 643-975, Division "C"

The Debtor maintains that Liskow & Lewis and Kingsmill Riess do
not hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtor with
respect to those matters for which they are to be employed.  The
Debtor maintains that Liskow & Lewis and Kingsmill Riess had no
connection with the Debtor, its creditors or any party-in-interest
in the Debtor's bankruptcy case, or their attorneys or other
professionals, or any employee of the United States Trustee's
Office, other than that the two law firms provided services to the
Debtor prior to the Petition Date.

     -- Liskow & Lewis:

        Philip K. Jones, Jr. -- $405
        Dena L. Olivier -- $330
        Carey Menasco -- $225

for all expenses.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 25, 2010 (Bankr. M.D. La.
Case No. 10-10767).  The Company estimated its assets and debts at
$10,000,001 to $50,000,000.


ADVOCATE FINANCIAL: Taps Baldwin Haspel as Bankruptcy Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hon. Elizabeth W. Magner of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana granted Advocate Financial LLC
authority to employ Dennis M. Laborde, Stephen P. Schott and The

render general legal services to the Debtor as needed throughout
the course of the Chapter 11 case, including bankruptcy,
corporate, finance, collection matters and tax advice.

BHBM's hourly billing rates for bankruptcy work range from $180 to

          Stephen P. Schott         $300
          Associates             $180 to $250
          Paralegals                 $90

On March 1, 2010, prior to the filing of the bankruptcy case, BHBM
received a $50,000 retainer from the Debtor to serve as security
for services to be rendered prepetition and the filing fees for
the bankruptcy case.  The retainer was placed in a trust account.
The amount of attorneys' fees and costs that were incurred for its
prepetition services rendered and expenses incurred on behalf of
the Debtor was approximately $21,000.

Mr. Draper, Esq., attests that BHBM is a "disinterested person" as
that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as
modified by Section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the
firm does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtor

AFC ENTERPRISES: Reports $5.8 Mil. Net Income for April 18 Qtr
--------------------------------------------------------------
AFC Enterprises, Inc., reported results for first quarter 2010
which ended April 18, 2010.  The Company also reaffirmed guidance
for fiscal 2010 and provided a business update on its Strategic
Plan.

First Quarter 2010 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2009:

     -- Reported net income was $5.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted
        share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted
        share, last year.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share
        were $0.23 compared to $0.21 last year.

     -- Total system-wide sales increased 2.1% compared to a 1.1%
        increase last year.

     -- Global same-store sales decreased 0.3% compared to a 0.2%
        increase last year. Domestic same-store sales decreased
        0.4% compared to a 0.3% decrease last year.  International
        same-store sales increased 1.2% compared to a 4.8%
        increase in 2009.

     -- The Popeyes system opened 17 restaurants and permanently
        closed 12 restaurants, resulting in 5 net openings.

     -- EBITDA was $13.4 million, at 30.6% of total revenue,
        compared to first quarter 2009 EBITDA of $11.5 million, at
        24.0% of total revenue.

     -- Outstanding debt was reduced by $6.8 million to
        $75.8 million.

     -- The Company's free cash flow was $6.8 million compared to
        $7.1 million last year.

At April 18, 2010, the Company had $114.6 million in total assets
against $34.1 million in total current liabilities and $92.0
million in total long-term liabilities, resulting in $11.5 million
in stockholders' deficit.

AFC Enterprises Chief Executive Officer Cheryl Bachelder stated,
"Popeyes delivered solid earnings performance for the first
quarter. Our same-store sales were slightly negative; however,
this was in part a function of a planned change in first quarter
media timing versus a year ago. Our national promotion events were
in-line with our expectations, as we have continued to outpace the
chicken QSR category for the eighth consecutive quarter."

"In today's intensely competitive and increasingly global
marketplace, building our brand with culinary innovation is one of
our key strategic initiatives. As such, we are excited to announce
two new menu offerings which are being introduced next week --
Popeyes Wicked Chicken and Cane Sweeeet Iced Tea. Wicked Chicken
is a fun and portable new way to eat lunch at Popeyes and it is
our first global limited-time promotion. Cane Sweeeet Iced Tea is
our own proprietary tea recipe that is fresh brewed and sweetened
with cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Both of these new menu
items are sourced from our distinctive Louisiana heritage."

                       Fiscal 2010 Guidance

The Company continues to project global same-store sales to be in
the range of negative 1.0 to positive 2.0% for 2010, given the
continuing challenges of the global economic environment and the
intensely competitive restaurant sector.

Popeyes expects its global new openings to remain consistent with
previous guidance in the range of 110-130 restaurants.  The
Company will continue to close underperforming restaurants and
enforce higher operating standards throughout the system.  As a
result, the Company projects system-wide unit closings to be
approximately 100 restaurants, yielding 10-30 net openings in
2010, consistent with the Company's previous guidance.  Popeyes
restaurant closures typically have sales significantly lower than
the system average.

The Company continues to expect its fiscal 2010 general and
administrative expense rate to be consistent with last year's rate
of 3.1% to 3.2% of system-wide sales, among the lowest in the
restaurant industry.  The Company will continue to tightly manage
general and administrative expenses and invest in its
international business and core initiatives of the Company's
Strategic Plan.  This includes new product innovation to drive
traffic, operational tools and training to improve the guest
experience, and productivity initiatives to strengthen restaurant
profitability.

Consistent with previous guidance, the Company expects 2010
diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.77.

                        Long-Term Guidance

Consistent with previous guidance, over the course of the next
five years, the Company believes the execution of its Strategic
Plan will deliver on an average annualized basis the following
results: same-store sales growth of 1% to 3%; net new unit growth
of 4% to 6%; and earnings per diluted share growth of 13% to 15%.

AFFINION GROUP: Bank Debt Trades at 4% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Affinion Group,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 96.10 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This shows a drop of 0.98 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company
pays 250 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility,
which matures on March 1, 2012.  The debt is not rated by Moody's
and Standard & Poor's.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and
losers among 186 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more
bids in secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 30, 2010,
Standard & Poor's assigned its issue-level and recovery ratings to
Affinion Group, Inc.'s $1 billion senior secured credit
facilities, consisting of $875 million in term loan facilities due
2016 and a $125 million revolving credit facility due 2015.  S&P
assigned the loans an issue-level rating of 'BB-' (one notch
higher than the 'B+' corporate credit rating on the company) with
a recovery rating of '2', indicating S&P's expectation of
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its existing
ratings on Affinion, including the 'B+' corporate credit rating.
The rating outlook is stable.

Affinion Group, Inc., is a leading provider of marketing services
and loyalty programs to many of the largest financial service
companies globally.  The company provides credit monitoring and

AL GULF: Moody's Assigns 'Ba2' Rating $305 Mil. Senior Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba2 rating to the
$305 million senior secured term loan facility due 2016 (or
possibly 2017), to be issued by AL Gulf Coast Terminals, LLC.  AL
GCT is a holding company set up by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC
to hold its 100% ownership interest in Houston Fuel Oil Terminal
Company, which it acquired in two stages in 2007 and 2009.  The
rating outlook is stable.

Loan proceeds will primarily be used to: i) pay a distribution
to equity in the amount of $138.9 million; ii) repay an existing
HoldCo credit facility in the amount of $150.0 million; and
iii) cash fund a debt service reserve account, which is sized to
meet 6-months of required debt service.

ArcLight owns AL GCT, and in turn HFOTCO, through ArcLight Capital
Partners Fund IV, LP.  Subsequent to the acquisition of HFOTCO,
ArcLight is pursuing a recapitalization plan through the HoldCo,
its wholly owned subsidiary, AL GCT.

Fund IV is a $2.1 billion private equity fund formed by ArcLight,
a private equity investment firm founded in 2001 and focused
exclusively on the power and energy sectors.  ArcLight has
approximately $6.8 billion under management, with over 6,000 net
MWs in operation or construction across its four funds.  ArcLight
owns a diverse portfolio of companies in the power generation,
transmission and distribution, midstream and upstream sectors.

The operating company, HFOTCO, is the largest provider of residual
fuel and crude oil storage in the Gulf Coast with 11.6 million
barrels of tankage, which will increase to 13.3 million barrels by
September, 2010.  In addition, HFOTCO is one of the largest such
facilities in the world.  HFOTCO's sheer scale also enables the
company to provide additional ancillary services and optionality
for its customers, including product heating, blending and
transportation services for regional refiners, major integrated
oil companies and trading operations.  The facility's existing
infrastructure also offers customers multiple inbound/outbound
logistics options including: deepwater ship, ocean barge, inland
barge, truck, rail and pipeline access.

The Ba2 rating reflects the highly contracted nature of the cash
flows, the low operating risk associated with this storage asset,
the credit quality of the contract counterparties and the contract
diversification.  However, the rating also reflects the high
consolidated leverage on the combined enterprise and the
structural subordination of the HoldCo term loan facility to the
debt at the OpCo level.  Repayment of the HoldCo loan is dependent
upon residual, distributed cash flows coming up from the OpCo
after servicing debt at the OpCo level.  The current capital
structure also incorporates a significant amount of consolidated
leverage, at approximately 8 times Debt to EBITDA in 2010.  Having
said that, the rating also considers several qualitative project
elements with emphasis on key credit strengths relating to
HFOTCO's strong market position, low operating risk and strong
customer base support.

The Ba2 senior secured rating for AL GCT considers these
strengths:

-- All rental revenues are 100% contracted on a take-or-pay basis
    with fixed rate capacity charges, providing a stable and
    predictable stream of cash flows

-- No commodity risk; HFOTCO does not take title to the inventory
    being stored in its facilities

-- HFOTCO's strategic location combined with supporting
    infrastructure provide high barriers to entry

-- Contracted counterparts are largely investment grade with long
    tenured relationships (15-yr avg.)

-- Contract diversity, where no one customer represents more than
    8% of capacity

-- The terminal is tied to the international market for residual
    oil, bunker fuel, asphalt and other "black" oil markets, where
    growth in the developing world -- especially India and China -
    - which needs these products to support economic growth and
    electricity production, helps to offset declines in the
    developed OECD world.  The size of the market imbalance is
    more important to HFOTCO than the size of the total domestic
    market for resid that continues to decline.

-- Low business and operating risk profile

-- HFTOCO enjoys a 3.5 million barrel capacity backlog from
    prospective and existing customers, providing additional
    headroom should a customer leave unexpectedly

-- Management team is strong and well experienced; Arclight is a
    strong sponsor, playing a proactive role in many of their
    projects

-- Existing residual fuel tanks can easily be converted to
    support other fuel types should it be necessary

The rating also reflects these areas of credit concern:

-- Structural subordination; the borrower will be structurally
    subordinated to debt at HFOTCO; no deleveraging is expected at
    HFOTCO under the base case

-- Refinancing risks associated with debt at HFOTCO can
    potentially diminish OpCo's ability to supply sufficient cash
    flow to the borrower

-- There is also refinancing risk at Al GCT under certain
    downside scenarios

-- About 56% of existing storage lease agreements are pending
    renewal at a higher rate within the term loan tenor period;
    Re-contracted rates are expected to be significantly higher
    than their prior rates (average increase of 40-50%)

-- Contracts are not long term (typically 3 to 5 years), but
    customers have historically renewed; all customers who have
    come up for renewal at the end of 2009 and the first quarter
    of 2010 have done so even at the higher recontracted rate

-- Significant reliance on residual fuel, combined with potential
    consolidations in the U.S. oil refining business exposes
    HFOTCO to unexpected demand risks born by customers

-- Minor construction risk with regards to Phase 1 & 2 expansion
    projects, which is expected to be completed by September 2010;
    and ship dock #4 expansion plan expected to be completed by
    2011; HFOTCO bears all construction risk by self performing
    the construction project

-- Increased global environmental regulation may reduce the use
    of residual oil, which can potentially further weaken demand
    prospects for residual fuel

The credit facilities will be secured by a perfected first
priority security interest in all the assets of AL GCT and the
Sponsor's interest in the Borrower.

Moody's also considered structural features in the term loan
agreement, including a cash sweep of 50% or up to 100% subject to
a Target Debt Balance test for years 1-3; 75% for year 4; and 100%
for years 6-7.  The transaction provides for only a 1% required
annual amortization, with additional amortization to be based upon
the cash flow sweep mechanism.  There is also a 6-month debt
service reserve covering forward interest and scheduled debt
service, which will be funded in cash or via a letter of credit to
be provided by the Sponsor and a set of financial and other
covenants that restrict the business and financial activities of
the Borrower.  There will also be a prohibition on additional debt
at the Borrower, AL GCT as well as limitations on the incurrence
of additional debt at HFOTCO.  Additional debt at HFOTCO will be
limited to up to $50 million, which can only be used for new tank
storage or for other capex purposes and is subject to rating
affirmation of the rating at the HoldCo.  This will help to limit
the amount of structural subordination at the operating company
level.

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that the diversified
portfolio of contracts will generate relatively stable and
predictable cash flows, as the cash flows are derived from medium
term contracts with predominantly investment grade counterparties.

Positive trends that could lead Moody's to consider an upgrade
would include more rapid paydown of debt than currently projected
and better than projected base case financial performance.
Negative trends that could lead Moody's to consider a downgrade
would include credit deterioration by contractual off-takers,
substantial financial and/or operating performance difficulties
that result in a meaningful loss of cash flow available for debt
service.

The rating is predicated upon final documentation in accordance
with Moody's current understanding of the transaction and final
debt sizing consistent with initially projected credit metrics.

AL Gulf Coast Terminals, LLC's rating was 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 AL Gulf Coast Terminals, LLC's core industry, and AL
Gulf Coast Terminals, LLC's rating is believed to be comparable to
those of other issuers of similar credit risk.

AL Gulf Coast Terminals, LLC is a special purpose entity formed by
ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC to hold its 100% ownership interest
in Houston Fuel Oil Terminal Company.  HFOTCO is the largest
provider of residual fuel and crude oil storage in the Gulf Coast
with 11.6 million barrels of tankage, which will increase to
13.3 million barrels by September, 2010.


ALICO CROSSING: Files for Chapter 11 in Fort Myers, Florida
-----------------------------------------------------------
Alico Crossing LLC filed for Chapter 11 on June 2 in Fort Myers,
Florida (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 10-13371).

Alico Crossing is the owner of the Alico Commons shopping
center in Bonita Springs, Florida.  The Debtor listed assets of
$1 million to $10 million and debts of $10 million to $50 million.

According to Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News, the Debtor filed a
Chapter 11 petition in the face of the July 1 maturity of a $15.6
million mortgage owing to JPMorgan Chase Bank NA.  The Company
said it intends to use Chapter 11 to restructure the mortgage.
Lease rates have declined from $22 to $25 a square foot to the
range of $12 to $16 a foot, the owner said.

"All small shop leasing prospects virtually disappeared," the
Company said in a court filing, according to Bloomberg.  Three
anchor tenants signed leases.  One negotiated the price of the
lease down to $12 a square foot from $16, according to the filing.
Another anchor tenant defaulted on its obligations, the owner
contends.

Hugo S. de Beaubien, Esq., and Steven M Berman, Esq., at Shumaker,
Loop & Kendrick, LLP, represent the Debtor in its Chapter 11
effort.


AMERCABLE INCORPORATED: Moody's Affirms 'B3' Corp. Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised AmerCable Incorporated's ratings
outlook to negative from stable.  Concurrently, Moody's affirmed
the company's B3 corporate family rating, B3 probability-of-
default rating, and the B2 ratings on its first lien senior
secured credit facilities.

The ratings affirmation reflects Moody's expectation that
AmerCable will grow its revenues and earnings in the second half
of 2010 such that credit metrics will improve from current levels.
That said, the rating also incorporates the likelihood for credit
metrics to further deteriorate over the short-term given the
company's comparatively strong operating performance in the second
quarter of 2009.  In addition, ongoing challenges in the oil & gas
segment could threaten a potential earnings recovery.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's concern over AmerCable's
ability to comply with the financial covenants governing the
credit facility.  In Moody's opinion, increased default risk under
financial covenants may necessitate the need for an equity cure.
The negative outlook also captures the potential for a ratings
downgrade in the event that the company is unable to improve its
operating performance over the remainder of the year.

These ratings were affirmed:

* Corporate family rating at B3;

* Probability-of-default rating at B3.

* $15 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2012 at
  B2 (LGD3, 38%);

* $88 million senior secured term loan due 2014 at B2 (LGD3, 38%).

The last rating action for AmerCable was on June 18, 2009, when
Moody's lowered its corporate family rating to B3 from B2 and the
ratings on the first lien senior secured credit facilities to B2
from B1.

Headquartered in El Dorado, Arkansas, AmerCable develops,
manufactures and sells highly engineered, jacketed electrical
cable products, cable assemblies and customer-driven solutions for
power, control and instrumentation applications used in severe
operating environments.


AMERICAN INT'L: Geithner Sees Other Options for Repayment
---------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner on Wednesday said American International Group has other
options for paying back its $182 billion government bailout.

AIG on Tuesday declined to accept Prudential's revised offer of
$30.38 billion for American International Assurance.  Prudential
shareholders have balked at the $35.5 billion original price.

According to the AP, Mr. Geithner praised AIG's decision to walk
away from the Prudential offer.  "AIG is now free to pursue a
bunch of other options to help maximize the return, reduce any
risk of loss to the taxpayer," Mr. Geithner told reporters at the
Treasury Department, the AP relates.

The AP notes Mr. Geithner did not address how much taxpayers may
ultimately recoup in the $182 billion bailout.  The AP recalls the
Congressional Budget Office in March estimated that the bailout
will cost taxpayers $36 billion.

The AP also notes that AIG refused to comment on the collapsed
deal other than to release a letter that Robert Benmosche, AIG
president and CEO, sent to company employees.  According to the
AP, the letter said "AIG is in the best shape it's been in two
years," and that AIG will have "several options to consider
regarding AIA -- more than we did in March."

The AP says many private analysts believe that AIG will return to
a previous effort to sell the unit in an initial public offering.

According to the AP, as of March 31, AIG's outstanding government
aid balance totaled $134.21 billion.  Of that package, AIG must
repay the government $101.61 billion in loans.  The remaining
$32.61 billion is tied to the value of assets the government took
over as part of the bailout.  As those risky investments are
repaid, that money goes directly back to the government.

                          About the AIA

The AIA Group is a pan-Asian life insurance organization that
traces its roots in the Asia Pacific region back more than 90
years.  It provides consumers and businesses with products and
services for life insurance, retirement planning, accident and
health insurance as well as wealth management solutions. Through
an extensive network of 320,000 agents and 23,500 employees across
15 geographical markets, AIA serves more than 23 million customers
in the region.

                          About AIG Inc.

Based in New York, American International Group, Inc., is an
international insurance organization with operations in more than
130 countries and jurisdictions.  AIG companies serve commercial,
institutional, and individual customers through one of the most
extensive worldwide property-casualty networks of any insurer.  In
addition, AIG companies provide life insurance and retirement
services around the world.  AIG 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.  In September
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.


AMERICAN INT'L: Moody's Affirms Issuer Rating; Outlook Negative
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the ratings of American
International Group, Inc. (long-term issuer rating of A3, short-
term issuer rating of Prime-1) following the termination of its
agreement to sell AIA Group Limited to Prudential plc.  The rating
outlook remains negative to reflect the significant execution risk
in AIG's restructuring plan, particularly given the weak global
economy and unsettled capital markets.

AIG and Prudential have terminated an agreement announced on
March 1, 2010, whereby Prudential would have acquired AIA for
total consideration of $35.5 billion, including $25.0 billion of
cash.  The transaction was expected to close by the end of 2010.
The termination is credit-negative for AIG, as the company is
unlikely to generate cash of that magnitude in the near term from
any other disposition of AIA.  AIG now expects to receive a
termination fee of GBP152.6 million from Prudential on July 1,
2010.

The rating affirmation is based on Moody's expectation that the US
government will continue to support AIG throughout its
restructuring, as the company seeks to revitalize its core
insurance businesses and exit noncore businesses.  The rating
agency believes that a full restructuring would allow the US
Treasury to maximize the recovery value of its Series E and Series
F preferred stock interests.

Among the alternative plans being considered for AIA, Moody's
believes, is an initial public stock offering, given that the
company was preparing for such an offering before the Prudential
deal was announced.  "Any such plan will take longer to generate
cash than was contemplated in the Prudential deal," said Bruce
Ballentine, Moody's lead analyst for AIG, "and the total
transaction value could be lower, given the difficult market
conditions."

Any diminution in the value of AIA or other subsidiaries would
reduce the protection available to AIG's unsecured creditors while
increasing the risk of loss for the Series E and Series F
preferred interests.  Nevertheless, the rating agency believes
that the preferred interests have substantial value, which
represents a cushion for unsecured creditors.

Moody's cited these factors that could lead to a stable rating
outlook for AIG: (i) improvement in the intrinsic credit profiles
of Chartis and SunAmerica Financial Group, (ii) disposition of
noncore businesses, and (iii) a transition toward a stand-alone
capital structure that is consistent with current ratings (e.g.,
adjusted financial leverage in the range of 20%-30% with pretax
interest coverage in mid-to-high single digits).

The rating agency cited these factors that could lead to a rating
downgrade: (i) another downturn in the market position or
profitability of Chartis or SFG, (ii) further delays in divesting
or unwinding noncore businesses, (iii) a transition toward a
stand-alone capital structure that is indicative of lower ratings
(e.g., adjusted financial leverage exceeding 30% with pretax
interest coverage in mid-single digits or lower), or (iv) a
reduction or withdrawal of government support before the
restructuring is complete.

AIG, based in New York City, is a leading international insurance
organization with operations in more than 130 countries and
jurisdictions.  AIG shareholders' equity was $75.0 billion as of
March 31, 2010.

The last rating action affecting AIG took place on February 26,
2010, when Moody's affirmed the ratings and reiterated the
negative outlook following the company's announcement of results
for the fourth quarter and full year of 2009.

Moody's has affirmed these ratings with a negative outlook:

* American International Group, Inc. -- long-term issuer rating at
  A3, senior unsecured debt at A3, subordinated debt at Ba2,
  short-term issuer rating at Prime-1.


AMERICAN INT'L: S&P Ratings Unmoved by AIA Sale Pact Termination
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on
American International Group Inc. (A-/Negative/A-1) and AIG's
insurance subsidiaries (most of which are rated A+/Negative/--)
are not affected by the company's announcement that it has
terminated its agreement to sell AIA Group Ltd. to Prudential PLC.
(On March 1, 2010, Prudential PLC had reached an agreement with
AIG to acquire AIA for US$35.5 billion.)

S&P considers this development to be a setback in AIG's overall
restructuring plan to reduce outstanding indebtedness to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York and exit from the TARP preferred
stock owned by the U.S. Treasury Department.  Nonetheless, the
sale termination is not affecting the ratings and outlook on AIG,
as AIG still maintains a level of flexibility in selling AIA, and
its overall credit risk characteristics so far remain unchanged.
S&P believes the sale of AIA will now take longer than AIG
previously anticipated and poses increased execution risk because
of the volatile conditions in the capital and equity markets.

The ratings on AIG reflect S&P's opinion of the extraordinary
support the company has received from the U.S. government in light
of AIG's perceived status as a highly systemically important U.S.
financial institution.  The ratings are also based on S&P's view
of the company's 'A+' rated multi-line insurance subsidiaries.
S&P expect that the extraordinary government support will continue
during AIG's period of stress.  As a result, the long-term
counterparty credit rating on AIG includes a five-notch uplift
from S&P's assessment of the company's stand-alone 'BB' credit
profile.  AIG's stand-alone credit profile is 'BB' based on S&P's
view of the high level of leverage that funds its capital
structure and dependence on operating-company asset sales to repay
its debt.

During the first quarter of 2010, AIG's operating subsidiaries
that are continuing ongoing operations stabilized further, in
S&P's opinion, producing $2.2 billion in pretax operating income
despite catastrophe losses at Chartis.  Operating results continue
to benefit from the improvement in the capital markets and
contracting credit spreads, resulting in stabilizing impairments
and realized capital losses for the period.  Although future
investment losses are possible given current market conditions,
S&P believes the U.S. government's actions have reduced material
exposures, such as the guarantees on the multi-sector CDO
portfolio and securities lending asset/liability mismatch.  AIG
Financial Products Corp. continues to reduce the notional amount
of its derivative portfolio, which was $755 billion as of
March 31, 2010, 20% lower than at year-end 2009.

The negative outlook on the parent company reflects the ongoing
operational risk associated with the divestiture of AIG's noncore
assets and legislative risk related to the government's continued
willingness and ability to provide extraordinary support to AIG if
needed.  If AIG's operating performance does not improve to a
level approaching its historical performance, factoring what S&P
considers its strong but diminished competitive position, S&P
could lower the rating one notch.  However, if operating
performance returns to historical levels and capitalization
remains consistent or improves, S&P could revise the outlook to
stable.


AMWINS GROUP: S&P Affirms 'B-' Counterparty Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
The original version of this article, published on April 12, 2010,
contained incorrect figures related to AmWINS' debt burden
following the merger with Colemont.  A corrected version is:

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'B-'
counterparty credit rating on AmWINS Group Inc. The outlook
remains stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B-' first-
lien senior secured and 'CCC' second-lien senior secured debt
ratings on AmWINS.

The affirmation follows AmWINS' April 9, 2010, announcement that
it will merge with Colemont Insurance Brokers.  AmWINS is the
second-largest wholesale broker in the U.S., according to Business
Insurance's 2009 ranking.  Colemont is the fifth-largest wholesale
broker in the U.S., with a sizable international brokerage
presence.

"The transaction is large from a revenue and earnings perspective.
Colemont's 2009 revenues totaled $115 million, compared with
AmWINS' $227 million," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Julie
Herman.  "However, AmWINS' debt burden will increase by a very
modest $37 million, which is just under 10% of total debt and
consists of a $15 million increase in AmWINS' first-lien loan and
use of $22 million in revolver capacity, because it is funding a
material proportion of the transaction with equity."

"Further, if the merger is executed successfully, AmWINS' leverage
profile should improve modestly in 2010, with Colemont's earnings
offsetting the increased debt burden," said Ms. Herman.  Colemont
generated roughly $13.5 million in EBITDA in 2009.

The drawdown of the revolving credit facility will introduce a
total leverage restrictive covenant.  However, the company will
have a sizable amount of unrestricted cash upon the closing of the
transaction as well as a reasonable cushion relative to this
covenant.

ARCOLA HOMESTEAD: Closed; FDIC Pays Out Insured Deposits
--------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved the payout of
the insured deposits of Arcola Homestead Savings Bank of Arcola,
Ill.  The bank was closed on June 4, 2010, by the Illinois
Department of Financial Professional Regulation -- Division of
Banking, which appointed the FDIC as receiver.

The FDIC was unable to find another financial institution to take
over the banking operations of Arcola Homestead Savings Bank.  As
a result, checks to the retail depositors for their insured funds
will be mailed on Monday, June 7.  Brokered deposits will be wired
once brokers provide the FDIC with the necessary documents to
determine if any of their clients exceed the insurance limits.
Customers who placed money with brokers should contact them
directly for more information about the status of their funds.

On Monday, June 7, the FDIC will mail checks to customers for
their insured funds in savings accounts, IRAs and certificates of
deposit (CDs).  As a convenience to local depositors, the FDIC has
made arrangements for the insured funds in checking, NOW and Money
Market accounts to be transferred to the Arcola branch of First
Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, National Association, located at 249 W.
Springfield Road.  Customers will have access to their checking,
NOW and Money Market account funds at this branch between Monday,
June 7, and Saturday, June 12.  It is important to note, however,
that customers of Arcola Homestead Savings Bank will no longer be
able to write checks and must come in person to either claim their
money or set up a new account.  After June 12, the FDIC will mail
any remaining funds to the owner of these accounts.

The Company reported a net loss of $749,046 on $852,432 of revenue

ASSOCIATED ESTATES: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Associated Estates Realty Corp. to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  At
the same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on the company's
$48.3 million of preferred stock, which the company has publicly
disclosed it will retire on or near June 7, 2010, to 'B-' from
'CCC+'.  The outlook is positive.

"S&P's upgrades on Associated reflect the company's improved
credit profile, supported by two equity offerings in aggregate of
$169.3 million and $50.0 million debt reduction in 2010, as well
as a planned $48.3 million retirement of preferred securities and
$25.8 million retirement of trust preferred securities in the
second quarter," said credit analyst Eugene Nusinzon.  "In
addition, portfolio composition has improved, following
Associated's recent acquisition in Woodbridge, Va., and a nearly
complete 60-unit community expansion in Richmond, Va."

Mr. Nusinzon noted that these strengths are tempered by elevated
leverage, which is above that of similarly rated peers, as well as
Standard & Poor's expectations for near-term strain on the
company's operating metrics.  "The company's comparatively small
size can make it vulnerable to greater volatility amid the slowly
improving economic environment."

                              Outlook

The outlook is positive.  S&P believes that the multifamily
sector's fundamentals are beginning to turn and that portfolio
cash flow should bottom in mid-to-late 2010.  S&P also anticipates
that Associated is committed to operating at more moderate
leverage levels and that its improving portfolio composition,
balance sheet, and key credit metrics will position the company to
absorb a potential modest decline in FFO at the recently raised
rating level.  S&P would consider a one-notch upgrade if
Associated achieves measured and profitable portfolio growth that
improves diversity characteristics and reduces cash flow
volatility, further improves its leverage profile, and notably
strengthens its DSC to 2.0x, which in S&P's view, would provide a
greater cushion for the company to withstand the next economic
downturn.  Conversely, S&P would lower its rating if operating
conditions reverse course, and DSC falls below 1.6x or if FFO no
longer covers the common dividend.


AUTOZONE INC: ESL Partners et al. Disclose 36.9% Stake
------------------------------------------------------
ESL Partners, L.P.; ESL Institutional Partners, L.P.; ESL
Investors, L.L.C.; Acres Partners, L.P.; RBS Investment
Management, L.L.C.; Tynan, LLC; RBS Partners, L.P.; ESL
Investments, Inc.; Edward S. Lampert and William C. Crowley
disclosed that as part of an internal restructuring by ESL et al.
that occurred on June 2, 2010, ESL Partners distributed 2,275,821
shares of AutoZone Inc. common stock to RBS, its general partner,
following which RBS immediately distributed 2,257,761 of these
Shares to Mr. Lampert and 18,060 of these Shares to Mr. Crowley.
In addition, as part of the internal restructuring, on June 2,
2010, ESL Investments distributed 506,921 Shares to Mr. Lampert
and 10,345 Shares to Mr. Crowley.

Separately, on June 2, 2010, Acres distributed 1,182,851 Shares to
its limited partners.

The internal restructuring transactions, including the
distribution of Shares by ESL Partners and the distribution of
Shares by ESL Investments, will result in direct ownership by Mr.
Lampert and Mr. Crowley of a portion of their indirect ownership
interests in the Shares.  Specifically, ESL Partners is making a
partial distribution to RBS based on RBS's pro rata share of the
assets of ESL Partners.  Of that distribution, a portion of the
Shares indirectly owned by Mr. Lampert will initially be retained
by ESL Partners and, upon expiration or termination of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, as amended, will be distributed to RBS, which in turn will
make a distribution to Mr. Lampert.  Filing for HSR Approval is
expected to be made shortly.

As a result of the internal restructuring, both after the
distribution of Shares, and after the additional distribution of
Shares to Mr. Lampert upon receiving HSR Approval, the combined
direct and indirect ownership of Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley in
AutoZone, and the pecuniary interest of each of Mr. Lampert and
Mr. Crowley in AutoZone, will not change.

In connection with the internal restructuring, on June 2, 2010,
each of Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley entered into a letter
agreement with ESL Partners that restricts the purchases and sales
by Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley of the Shares.  Pursuant to the
Lock-Up Agreements, Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley generally are
required to sell Shares and purchase additional Shares on a pro
rata basis with the sales and purchases of Shares made by ESL
Partners, and generally must make such sales and purchases on
substantially the same terms and conditions as ESL Partners
(subject to certain legal, tax, accounting or regulatory
considerations).  Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley are also restricted
from certain sales of Shares or purchases of additional Shares
except in accordance with the Lock-Up Agreements.

As of June 2, 2010, after giving effect to the internal
restructuring and the other transactions, ESL et al. may be deemed
to beneficially own an aggregate of 18,000,000 Shares (which
represents approximately 36.9% of the 48,759,768 Shares
outstanding as of March 15, 2010, as disclosed in AutoZone's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 18, 2010).

AVAYA INC: Bank Debt Trades at 14% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Avaya, Inc., is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 85.89 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall

The downgrade was driven by challenges presented by the
acquisition of Nortel's enterprise assets as well as the large
amount of additional debt incurred to finance the acquisition
(around $1 billion).


BAYONNE MEDICAL: Overlapping Directors Didn't Make Bank Insider
---------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that a challenged transfer, whereby a nonprofit
hospital that had been experiencing cash flow problems repaid
$1 million of the $3 million in financing that it had obtained
from a bank with which it shared four of the same directors one
month in advance of its due date, upon its receipt of a $10
million bridge loan that was meant to alleviate any cash flow
problems pending an anticipated $80 million bond offering, was
conducted at "arm's length" and did not, even with the overlap
that existed between the hospital's and bank's directors, make the
bank a nonstatutory "insider," for preference-avoidance purposes.
There was no default at the time of the challenged payment, and
the hospital, though under financial pressure, was apparently
solvent.  There was no indication that the common directors
pressured the hospital into making payment.  In re Bayonne Medical
Center, --- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 2093431 (Bankr. D. N.J.) (Stern,
J.).

Allen D. Wilen, in his role as the Liquidating Trustee of Bayonne
Medical Center, sued (Bankr. D. N.J. Adv. Pro. No. 08-2256)
Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A.  The Bank moved for summary judgment
and prevailed, with Judge Stern holding that the Bank was bank was
not a nonstatutory "insider," and, even if bank was an "insider,"
it was entitled to assert its "ordinary course of business"
defense to the Trustee's preference claims.

BERNARD MADOFF: ASM Capital Offers to Buy Claims at 80% Discount
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Gregory Zuckerman reports ASM Capital,
based in Woodbury, New York, is offering victims of Bernard
Madoff's Ponzi scheme either to make an immediate payment of 20%
of claims in exchange for the full claim; or make an upfront
payment of 16% of the claims, with the investor keeping 33% of
future recoveries.  For those with claims less than $1 million,
the payout could be slightly less, ASM says.

The Journal says the offers are going to investors with claims
allowed by Madoff trustee Irving Picard.

According to the Journal, ASM says it is working on deals with
about a dozen or so Madoff investors, including individuals,
charities and foundations.

"The response has been more positive than we would have expected,"
says Adam Moskowitz, ASM's president, according to the Journal.
"Usually in Ponzi schemes, people are not that trustful after."

The Journal notes Mr. Picard has said victims could see anywhere
from around 50 cents on the dollar to less than 15 cents recovery.

The Journal says that if all works to Mr. Picard's plan, investors
might see as much as 50 cents on the dollar.  Mr. Picard
acknowledges that is far from certain, but it is giving some
investors hope.  According to the Journal, so far, Mr. Picard has
collected $1.5 billion. But he is expected to recover at least
$2 billion from the estate of Jeffry Picower, an investor in Mr.
Madoff's scheme who died last fall.

The Journal also relates that in a Web site about his efforts, Mr.
Picard has used $6 billion as an example of eventual recoveries.
The Journal relates a lawyer for Mr. Picard has said the trustee
might be able to recover as much as $10 billion for investors.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L.
Madoff orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with
losses topping US$50 billion.

On December 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A. Stanton of the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted
the application of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation
for a decree adjudicating that the customers of BLMIS are in need
of the protection afforded by the Securities Investor Protection
Act of 1970.  The District Court's Protective Order (i) appointed
Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee for the liquidation of BLMIS,
(ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP as his counsel, and (iii)
removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding to the Bankruptcy Court
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789) (Lifland, J.).

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in
United States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.)

BWAY CORPORATION: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating on Senior Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to the new senior
unsecured notes due 2018 and affirmed the B1 corporate family
rating and negative outlook of BWAY Corporation.  The rating is in
response to the company's announcement on June 3, 2010, that it
intends to offer $200 million aggregate principal amount of senior
unsecured notes due 2018.  Additional ratings are detailed below.

The proceeds will be used to help finance the previously announced
proposed acquisition of BWAY Holding Company by investment funds
affiliated with Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, through a merger
of Picasso Merger Sub, Inc., with and into the Company.  The
obligations of Merger Sub under the Notes will be assumed by the
Company by operation of law upon consummation of the merger.  The
net proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be used to
finance in part the consideration to be paid in the Merger, to
refinance the Company's existing indebtedness in connection with
the Merger and to pay fees and expenses related to the Merger and
the associated financings.

Moody's took these rating actions for Picasso Merger Sub, Inc.:

-- Assigned $200 million senior unsecured notes due 2018, B3 (LGD
    5, 86%)

-- Affirmed $75 million revolving credit facility due 2015, Ba3
    (LGD 3, 35%)

-- Affirmed $490 million senior secured term loan B due 2018, Ba3
    (LGD 3, 35%)

-- Affirmed corporate family rating, B1

-- Affirmed probability of default rating, B1

The ratings outlook is negative.

Moody's took these rating actions for BWAY Corporation:

-- Affirmed $50 million senior secured first lien revolver due
    2012, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%) expected to be withdrawn after
    completion of the transaction

-- Affirmed $5 million Canadian senior secured first lien
    revolver due 2012, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%) expected to be withdrawn
    after completion of the transaction

-- Affirmed $190 million senior secured first lien term loan B
    due 2013, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%) expected to be withdrawn after
    completion of the transaction

-- Affirmed $50 million senior secured first lien term loan C due
    2012, Ba2 (LGD 2, 25%) expected to be withdrawn after
    completion of the transaction

-- Affirmed $228.5 million 10% senior subordinated notes due
    2014, B3 (LGD 5, 77%) expected to be withdrawn after
    completion of the transaction

-- Affirmed speculative grade liquidity rating, SGL-2

-- Affirmed corporate family rating, B1

-- Affirmed probability of default rating, B1

The ratings outlook is negative.

The ratings are subject to receipt and review of the final
documentation.

The negative outlook reflects the material increase in debt for
the leveraged buyout, risks inherent in the company's acquisition
strategy and significant exposure to the building products market.
Although the company is anticipated to benefit from the
integration of recent acquisitions, ongoing cost cutting, and its
pledge to dedicate near term free cash flow to debt reduction,
there is the potential for negative variance in operating
performance and acquisition risk.

BWAY's B1 corporate family rating reflects credit risks resulting
from the high concentration of sales, cyclical nature of the
primary end market and acquisition strategy.  The company derives
approximately 40% of its revenues from housing related products
(including paint and other building products) and 17% stem from
Sherwin Williams.

The ratings are supported by the company's dominant share in its
markets, the limited number of alternate suppliers with scale and
breadth of product line, and barriers to entry in the industry.
BWAY also benefits from strong liquidity and long standing
customer relationships.  The ratings are also supported by
anticipated benefits from the integration of recent acquisitions,
ongoing cost cutting, and the company's pledge to dedicate near
term free cash flow to debt reduction.

Moody's last rating action on BWAY occurred on May 12, 2010, when
Moody's revised the ratings outlook to negative from positive,
affirmed the B1 corporate family rating and assigned ratings to
the new senior secured credit facilities.

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
March 31, 2010, were approximately $953 million.

CHEM RX: Has Final Approval to Use Lenders' Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Chem Rx Corp.
received final authority from the bankruptcy judge to use cash
representing collateral for secured lenders.  The agreement for
use of cash requires the employment of a chief restructuring
officer acceptable to the lenders.
On May 13, 2010, Chem RX Corporation was granted interim authority
to use its lenders' cash collateral.

Chem Rx is a borrower under a First Lien Credit and Guaranty
Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2007, with the lenders and CIBC
World Markets Corp., as administrative agent.  Chem Rx is also

As of the petition date, the Debtors owed $103 million to the
Prepetition First Lien Lenders.  The Debtors owed $37 million to

equivalents as well as substantially all of the Debtors' assets.
The liens securing the Second Lien Debt are junior and subordinate
in all respects to all liens securing the First Lien Debt.
Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement among the First and Second
Lien Lenders, the Second Lien Lenders waive any right to contest
the priority, validity, perfection or enforceability of any lien
held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Lender.

able to operate while pursuing the sale of substantially all of
their assets and confirmation of a liquidating chapter 11 plan.

Pursuant to the Interim Cash Collateral Order, the Debtors will
provide the Prepetition First Lien Administrative Agent (i) with
the Debtors' draft audited 2008 and 2009 financial statements by

CHEMTURA CORP: Files Sec. 502(e) Objections to Contribution Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
In numerous separate filings, Chemtura Corp. and its units object
to proofs of claim asserted by numerous private parties that seek
contingent unsecured claims for contribution or reimbursement of
future environmental remediation costs and expenses.

Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York,
contends that the Contribution Claims are duplicative of the
proofs of claim filed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and other federal and state agencies and should be disallowed.

He argues that the Contribution Claims should be disallowed under
Section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code because they meet the
three criteria for disallowance under that statute:

  -- the claims are for reimbursement or contribution;

  -- the private party creditors are co-liable with one or more
     of the Debtors to a federal or state environmental agency;
     and

  -- the claims are contingent.

Section 502(e)(1)(B) provides that the Court will disallow any
claim for reimbursement or contribution of an entity that is
liable with the debtor or has secured the claim of a creditor, to
the extent that the claim for reimbursement or contribution is
contingent as of the time of its allowance or disallowance.

Mr. Cieri asserts that disallowance of the Contribution Claims is
essential for two reasons:  (i) the limited assets of the
Debtors' bankruptcy estates should not be exhausted by "double-
dipping" payments to both environmental agencies and to private
claimants; and (ii) expeditious resolution of the issue should
facilitate timely approval of a Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization.

Mr. Cieri says that resolution of the Debtors' Section
502(e)(1)(B) Objections will fully or partially dispose of 55
claims asserting hundreds of millions of dollars of alleged
liability, which would be extremely valuable in structuring a
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and obtaining the plan's
approval.

A list of the Contribution Claims is available for free at:

with the corresponding claim by the EPA or state environmental
agency, is available for free at:

CHEMTURA CORP: Deloitte to Provide Tax Accounting for 2010
----------------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corp. and its units sought and obtained the Court's

services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred in

to indemnity, all Deloitte Tax's requests for payment of
indemnity will be made by means of an application and will be
subject to review by the Court to ensure that payment conforms to
the terms of its agreement with the Debtors and is reasonable
based on the circumstances of the litigation or settlement in
respect of which indemnity is sought.

faith, self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence

CHEMTURA CORP: Objects to Tricor Refining's $57.5MM Claim
---------------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corp. and its units ask the Court to reduce Claim No.
9484 filed by Tricor Refining LLC for $57,479,899.

The Claim has three separate components:

  -- a claim for $50,654 for damages in the second phase of a
     pending litigation between the Debtors and Tricor in the
     Superior Court of California concerning an alleged breach
     of contract relating to environmental matters at a refinery
     sold by the Debtors in 1997 and now owned by Tricor;

  -- $6,525,800 based on alleged damages to another parcel of
     property also sold by the Debtors in 1997 and now owned by
     Tricor, and which was also involved in the first phase of
     the California State Court Litigation; and

  -- a claim for $300,000, based on alleged damages relating
     to certain equipment located on the Property involved in
     Phase I of the California State Court Litigation.

Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York,
says that the 1st portion of the Disputed Claim has been
liquidated for $1,576,700, plus interest and costs, after the
parties agreed to a modification of the automatic stay to allow
the California Superior Court to complete the prepetition
litigation to judgment.  Thus, the 1st portion of the Disputed
Claim should be reduced to the amount awarded Tricor by the
California Superior Court, he notes.

The 2nd portion of the Disputed Claim should also be disallowed
because Tricor failed to provide evidence to support the claim.

Moreover, Tricor is unable to prove the essential elements of the
3rd portion of the Disputed Claim and thus, that portion should
also be disallowed, Mr. Cieri says.

CIRCUIT CITY: Creditors Committee Files Liquidation Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Circuit City
Stores, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates' Chapter 11 cases
delivered to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of
Virginia its proposed plan of liquidation for the Debtors on
June 1, 2010.

Among other things, the Committee Plan provides:

    * For the distribution of certain proceeds from the sales of
      substantially all the Debtors' Assets and the creation of
      a Liquidating Trust that will administer and liquidate all
      remaining property of the Debtors, including Causes of
      Action, not sold, transferred or otherwise waived or
      released before the effective date of the Committee Plan.

    * For Distributions to certain Holders of Administrative
      Claims and Priority Claims and to other Claimholders, and
      the funding of the Liquidating Trust.

    * For the termination of all Interests in the Debtors,
      except Debtor Ventoux International, Inc.; the substantive
      consolidation of the Debtors; the dissolution and wind-up
      of the affairs of the Debtors; and the transfer of any
      remaining Estate Assets to the Liquidating Trust.

The Committee Plan does not address Claims against or Interests
in either Debtor InterTAN, Inc. or Ventoux.  Therefore, the
Committee Plan does not provide for the substantive consolidation
of the assets and liabilities of InterTAN and Ventoux with those
of the Debtors.

The issues with respect to Claims against and Interests in
InterTAN and Ventoux will be dealt with separately from the Plan,
provided, however, that the Ventoux Interests will be transferred
to the Liquidating Trust and comprise a portion of the
Liquidating Trust Assets.

The Committee Plan also contains provisions with respect to
funding of certain reserves.

Plan of Liquidation of the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee,

CIRCUIT CITY: Receives Nod for More Ernst & Young Work
------------------------------------------------------
Circuit City Stores Inc. and its units sought approval of a third
supplemental application seeking, pursuant to Sections 327(a) and
328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules 2014(a) and 2016 of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, to expand the scope of the
employment and retention of Ernst & Young LLP in providing
additional tax advisory services, effective as of September 10,
2009, upon the terms and conditions contained in the engagement
letter dated November 10, 2008 -- Tax Services Agreement -- which
was filed with the Original Application and approved by the
December 5, 2008 Original Retention Order, and the additional
statement of work for employment tax review under the Tax Services
Agreement.

Pursuant to the Employment Tax SOW, E&Y will conduct a historical
employment tax look-back review, which will consist of evaluating
relevant employment tax information to qualify any employment tax
refunds on behalf of the Debtors in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, North
Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

To the extent substantive refund claim opportunities exist which
the Debtors would like to pursue, E&Y will perform further
analysis to quantify any employment tax refunds and initiate
discussions with the applicable jurisdictions to initiate the
recovery process.  The firm will also submit refund calculations
to each jurisdiction for review and provide supporting
documentation and correspondence as necessary to facilitate the
receipt of refunds or benefits.

According to Katie Bradshaw, vice president and controller of the
Debtors, fees for the Additional Tax Services under the
Employment Tax SOW will be in an amount equal to 30% of the total
benefit received by the Debtors -- not including recoveries
associated with clerical errors in all states or wage base
duplications in Illinois.

For findings-based fee purposes, any refunds or credits
identified below $1,000 will be communicated to the Debtors so
that the Debtors may recover these amounts and will fall outside
of the definition of benefit received, Ms. Bradshaw adds.

Because the Employment Tax SOW contemplates a contingent fee
arrangement, the Debtors seek approval of the fee arrangement
pursuant to Section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code only.

E&Y is a disinterested person within the meaning of Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, Ms. Bradshaw maintains.

CIRCUIT CITY: Seeks Mediation with Unsecured Creditors on Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Circuit City Stores Inc. and its units seek an order directing
mediation with respect to the First Amended Joint Plan of
Liquidation proposed by the Debtors and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.

The Joint Plan provides for the liquidation of the Debtors under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and for the distribution of the
proceeds from the liquidation to the Debtors' creditors.  The
associated Disclosure Statement was approved on September 24,
2009.

After the Disclosure Statement was approved, the Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee continued to negotiate issues related to the
Joint Plan, including the form of the liquidating trust agreement
that was to be filed in connection with a plan supplement.  As a
result of those negotiations, on November 5, 2009, the Debtors
and the Creditors' Committee filed a supplement to the Joint
Plan.  The Plan Supplement included, among other documents, a
draft of the liquidating trust agreement, Douglas M. Foley, Esq.,
at McGuireWoods LLP, in Richmond, Virginia, relates.

At the time the Trust Agreement was filed, the Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee had not agreed to its final terms because,
among other things, the Creditors' Committee had not provided the
Debtors with a draft of the proposed liquidating trust oversight
committee bylaws, Mr. Foley tells the Court.

Indeed, the Creditors' Committee did not provide the Debtors with
a draft of the Bylaws until March 30, 2010, and only after
repeated requests.  Since then, the Debtors and the Creditors'
Committee have continued to attempt to reach a global resolution
concerning the Joint Plan, the Trust Agreement, and the Bylaws,
Mr. Foley adds.

To date, the Joint Plan has not been confirmed.  A status
conference with respect to confirmation is scheduled for June 8,
2010.

On June 1, 2010, the Creditors' Committee filed its proposed plan
of liquidation, proposed liquidating trust agreement, and
proposed bylaws of the oversight committee.

The Debtors seek an order directing the Creditors' Committee to
participate in mediation with the Debtors to attempt to
consensually resolve issues related to the Joint Plan, the Trust
Agreement, and the Bylaws.  The Debtors are willing to
participate in a mediation process with either the Court, if the
Court is so inclined, or a different judge or other disinterested
third party.

Mr. Foley asserts that mediation is in the best interests of the
Debtors' creditors and their estates because, among other things,
it (i) might avoid the costs and litigation associated with
soliciting the Committee Plan, (ii) might avoid the costs and
litigation associated with any competing plan that may be filed
by the Debtors, and (iii) will require both parties to have a
neutral third party hear their positions and attempt to get the
parties to resolve their differences.  He notes that mediation
might also avoid undoing the results of almost a year of
negotiations between the parties.

In separate filings, the Debtors ask the Court to shorten the
notice period and to limit notice of the Motion, and to expedite
hearing on the Motion.

                  Committee Supports Mediation

Upon receipt of a copy of the Motion, the Creditors' Committee
informed the Debtors that it consented to appointment of a
mediator to attempt to resolve outstanding disputes between them,
Paula S. Beran, Esq., at Tavenner & Beran, PLC, in Richmond,
Virginia -- pberan@tb-lawfirm.com -- relates.

According to Ms. Beran, the Creditors' Committee decided to file
its own plan only after months of never-ending negotiations with
the Debtors, during which the Debtors continuously raised new
issues, some unrelated to the plan process itself, that made an
ultimate agreement with them a "moving target."

Ms. Beran explains that while the Creditors' Committee was
amenable to providing the Debtors with proposed bylaws, which
would govern the oversight committee's post-effective date
operation, it expected -- wrongly -- that those bylaws would be
mundane and non-controversial.  As the plan confirmation process
was placed on hold by the Canadian tax issues from November 2009
through the first quarter of 2010, the Creditors' Committee felt
no urgency to circulate the bylaws just as the Debtors and the
Committee saw no urgency to address the pending plan confirmation
objections or make technical amendments to the plan or the
liquidating trust agreement.

As a path towards confirmation, which addressed the Canadian tax
issues began to take shape in the Spring of 2010, the parties
refocused on the plan confirmation process.  As discussions
progressed, it became evident to the Creditors' Committee that
the Debtors were erecting further roadblocks to confirmation and
introducing new issues, some of which were extraneous to the plan
process itself.  Each time the Creditors' Committee thought that
it reached agreement on all material plan confirmation issues,
the Debtors would introduce new issues which required resolution
before the Debtors would agree to proceed, Ms. Beran says.

The Creditors' Committee has been provided no justifiable reason
for the Debtors' continued attempts to control the liquidation
process, which impinges on the oversight committee's role in
supervising the liquidating trustee's conduct.  The Creditors'
Committee's position is clear -- as the equity holders are out of
the money, the post-effective date administration of the Debtors'
estate should be left to the discretion of the liquidating
trustee under the supervision of an oversight committee comprised
mostly of creditor representatives operating by simply majority
vote, Ms. Beran tells the Court.

The Debtors' conduct has resulted in the estates incurring
substantial unnecessary professional fees and now threatens to
cause protracted litigation over competing plans, she complains.

"The Debtors' intransigence with respect to certain fundamental
issues regarding post effective date liquidating trust governance
issues makes the [Creditors'] Committee question whether
mediation will be productive," she says.

The Creditors' Committee is, however, willing to participate in
the process, provided it can occur expeditiously and will
encompass all outstanding issues between the parties regarding
the plan process and not be limited to the Joint Plan, Ms. Beran
tells the Court.

She adds that the Creditors' Committee does not believe it will
be useful to engage in a point and counterpoint discussion of the
parties' positions at the June 8, 2010 hearing.  Mediation will
afford both sides ample opportunity to present their views.

CITADEL BROADCASTING: Implements Reorganization Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Citadel Broadcasting
Corp. implemented its Chapter 11 reorganization plan effective
June 3.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R. Lifland signed a confirmation
order May 19 formally approving the reorganization plan for
Citadel Broadcasting.  According to Bloomberg News, Judge
Lifland decided that the company is worth $2.04 billion, not
enough to cover debt.  As a result, Judge Lifland ruled that
existing "equity is out of the money."  Judge Lifland concluded
that the valuation testimony offered by stockholders wasn't
persuasive.

Judge Lifland overruled objections by the shareholders.  "The
debtor has met the burden of confirmation," Judge Lifland said at
the close of a nine-hour hearing in New York that centered around
the subject of the valuation of the company's worth.

Shareholders led by Aurelius Capital Partners LP opposed the Plan,
saying that bankers valued the company too low, thus denying
owners of stock any recovery on their investment.  Lazard Ltd.,
Citadel's banker, used the Company's earnings projections to
arrive at a valuation showing the company is worth less than its
debt.

The Plan calls for senior lenders led by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.,
owed about $2.1 billion, to receive 90% of Citadel's equity plus
a new $762 million loan for a total recovery of about 76% on
their claims.

Citadel's unsecured creditors, owed $343 million, will receive
10% of the company's new stock plus $36 million in cash.

Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 83.69 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010,

fiscal year ended Jan. 30, 2010, from a net loss of $643,592,000
for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2009.  Net sales were
$1,342,389,000 for the fiscal year from $1,412,960,000 the prior
year.

Claire's Stores posted net income of $19,465,000 for the fiscal
fourth quarter 2009 from a net loss of $569,537,000 for the fiscal
fourth quarter 2008.  Net sales were $410,691,000 for the quarter

COLLECTIVE BRANDS: S&P Gives Positive Outlook, Affirms 'B+' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised the outlook on
Topeka, Kan.-based Collective Brands Inc. to positive from stable.
At the same time, S&P affirmed all ratings on the company,
including S&P's 'B+' corporate credit rating.  The outlook
revision reflects the stable performance over the past year,
expectation for modest improvements in the near term, and an
enhanced credit protection profile due to operational gains and
debt repayment.

"The speculative-grade ratings on Collective Brands reflect the
company's participation in the highly competitive and extremely
fragmented footwear industry, S&P's view that persistent high
unemployment may hurt operations, and fair credit protection
metrics," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Kuntz.

"Although performance improved for the first quarter in 2010, top-
line trends were below expectations," continued Mr. Kuntz.
Consolidated same-store sales fell 1.2% with declines of 3.3% at
the Payless Domestic segment and 3.1% at Performance + Lifestyle
Group Retail.  Lower traffic during the quarter hurt sales.
However, EBITDA grew about 9.5% for the 12 months ended May 1,
2010, compared with the prior period in 2009 due to margin gains.
Higher freight and distribution expenses partially offset a
reduction in promotional cadence, lower sourcing costs, and
enhanced supply chain efficiencies.

"As of May 1, 2010, the company's operating margins remained among
the highest for rated footwear retailers," added Mr. Kuntz.  Over
the near term, S&P expect modest growth as sales are in the low-
single digits from new stores and slightly positive same-store
sales.

"In S&P's view, however, top-line growth is likely to be muted by
the persistent high unemployment rate," said Mr. Kuntz.  Still,
S&P believes that the company will be able to maintain margin
gains for the balance of the year, and that it is likely able to
offset modest increases in sourcing costs with higher price
points.


COMMUNITY HEALTH: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Community Health
Systems, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
93.64 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and
reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase
of 0.65 percentage points from the previous week, The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The bank loan matures on May 1, 2014, and
carries Moody's Ba3 rating and Standard & Poor's BB rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 186 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

Based in Franklin, Tennessee, Community Health Systems, Inc. --
http://www.chs.net/-- is the largest publicly traded operator of
hospitals in the United States in terms of number of facilities
and net operating revenues.  The company provides healthcare
services through these hospitals that it owns and operates in non-

four home health agencies located in markets where it does not
operate a hospital.  Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Quorum
Health Resources, LLC, the company provides management and
consulting services to non-affiliated general acute care hospitals
located throughout the United States.


COMVERSE TECHNOLOGY: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said it affirmed its ratings on
New York City-based Comverse Technology Inc., including the 'B+'
corporate credit rating.  S&P removed the ratings from
CreditWatch, where they had been placed with developing
implications on Jan. 29, 2010.  The outlook is negative.

The affirmation follows recent financial statement filings by
Verint Inc. (B+/Stable/--), a public company, majority owned by
Comverse.  By filing, Verint met financial reporting requirements
contained in its senior secured credit facility, eliminating S&P's
concerns about a potential near-term default.  While Comverse does
not guarantee Verint's debt, Standard & Poor's was concerned that
a default by Verint would weaken Comverse's consolidated business
and financial profiles.

"The negative outlook reflects S&P's concerns about Comverse's
ongoing failure to comply with SEC financial reporting
requirements," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Susan
Madison.  Because of its extended non-filing period (since October
2005), Comverse is currently subject to administrative proceeding
by the SEC that could result in the revocation of its SEC
registration statement.  Additionally, compliance with SEC
financial reporting requirements by Feb. 8, 2010, was a key
condition of Comverse's June 2009 settlement agreement with the
SEC regarding the improper backdating of stock option and other
accounting practices.


CONTINENTAL AIRLINES: CEO Says Better Liquidity Prompted Merger
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the June 4, 2010 edition of "Jeff's Journal" in the Continental
Airlines intranet Web site, Jeffery A. Smisek, Continental
Airlines' Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer --
answering questions from Continental co-workers in New Orleans
about the proposed merger with UAL Corp.'s United Air Lines --
explained why the airlines had a different outcome on the merger
decision this time compared to two years ago, how pensions are
handled in a merger, and why the merger creates a better platform
for the careers of Continental co-workers.

Mr. Smisek explained, "when we looked at merging with United two
years ago, we were in a different world.  The strategic fit of the
two carriers -- it's the same.  It made sense then; it makes sense
now. But two years ago we were in a very different position in the
world: The economy was declining; fuel prices were skyrocketing;
the capital markets were closed.  Neither carrier had a great deal
of liquidity, and the financial and operational performance were
different then as well.  If you fast forward to today, again, the
strategy makes sense.  But we've got the economy recovering, the
capital markets are open, our liquidity is better, their -- that
is, United's -- liquidity is better.  Both of our financial
performance is improving and their operational performance has
improved quite a bit.  So two years ago the risks outweighed the
rewards.  Now the rewards far outweigh the risks."

Mr. Smisek also told a Continental co-worker, "the [current]
retirement plan . . . will stay in place and the lump sum that you
have will stay in place with respect to that retirement plan."  He
did cautioned that, "Going forward, some workgroups may want to
negotiate a different form of retirement plan.  That is, freeze
their current retirement plan and keep the benefits of their old
retirement plan and then, going forward, accrue new benefits under
a different retirement plan like a 401k.  But the retirement plan
that you've got, and the benefits that you've earned through the
date of the merger, or through the date that if you decide to
negotiate a different type of plan, those benefits will continue
and stay on and you get to keep them."

Mr. Smisek also said "since 9/11 we've been working hard -- you've
been working hard; I've been working hard; everybody's been
working hard -- to eke out a hand-to-mouth existence.  Whether
it's been H1N1, or SARS, or recession, or high fuel prices, or
volcanoes -- we're just sort of living hand-to-mouth here.  And
the merger gives us an opportunity to create a great airline that
will endure, that will provide job security, that will provide
retirement security, that will provide profitability, will help us
invest in our people and our products so we can stay competitive
and have a bright future going forward. It's a really exciting
opportunity. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and now is the
right time to do it."

According to Continental's "Daily News Update" -- which is
circulated via e-mail to employees and other selected individuals
on June 4, 2010 -- Houston Mayor Annise Parker has formed a panel
of civic, business and educational leaders to advise the city of
Houston on the impact of the CO-UA merger.  Ms. Parker said the
city is ready to support CO, but that she wants to have all of the
needed information because the Houston area has much at stake in
the merger.  After meeting with Jeff on Friday, the mayor told
radio station KUHF that she and Jeff believe the number of jobs in
Houston will grow over time because of Houston's critical position
in the combined airline's system.

In a statement this week, Mr. Smisek said, "Continental looks
forward to working with the mayor's advisory panel, as Houstonians
will benefit from our merger with United Airlines.  After the
merger, Continental will continue to be among the top private
employers in Houston, and will continue to be a good corporate
citizen, as we have always been.  Our hub at Bush Intercontinental
Airport will be the largest hub in the world's most comprehensive
airline network and serve as the premier gateway to Latin America.
In fact, we expect net job gain in Houston over time through
growth at Bush Intercontinental as we expand our Houston service
as a result of the merger."

CORBIN PARK: Wants Until August 16 to File Chapter 11 Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Corbin Park, L.P., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Kansas to extend its exclusive periods to file a Chapter 11
Plan and solicit acceptance for the proposed Plan until August 16,
2010, and October 15, 2010, respectively.

The Debtors filed their request for an extension before the
exclusive plan filing period was set to expire May 26.

The Debtor contends that an extension of exclusivity is justified
by: (i) the large size and complexity of the underlying real
estate project; (ii) the priority dispute between Bank of America
and the mechanics' lien claimants; and (iii) the bank's request to
extend to July 8 its answer deadline on Brown's Summary Judgment
Motion.

Omaha, Nebraska-based Corbin Park, L.P., filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on January 5, 2010 (Bankr. D. Kan. Case No.

and $10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in liabilities.

CW ACQUISITION: Moody's Rates $400 Mil. Senior Loan at 'Ba3'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service rated CW Acquisition Limited
Partnership's $400 million 6-year senior secured term loan Ba3,
and the company's $300 million 8-year second lien notes were rated
B3.  As part of the rating action, CWLP was assigned a B2
corporate family rating, a B2 probability of default rating and an
SGL-2 speculative grade rating (indicating good liquidity).  The
ratings outlook is stable.

CWLP is acquiring the newspaper publishing operations of Canwest
Global Communications Corporation.  The transaction includes The
National Post plus the newspaper operations of Canwest's indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary, Canwest Limited Partnership.  All
acquired properties, other than National Post, have been operating
under creditor protection.

The ratings assessment anticipates leverage and coverage to
improve in fiscal 2012 as a modest cyclical rebound causes revenue
and margins to expand.  In the interim, measures are expected to
reflect stress brought on by the recent recession and financial
crisis.  Going forward, restructuring expenses and pension deficit
funding will initially limit free cash flow generation and delay
the impact of improving general economic conditions.  Moody's
views CWLP's ratings in the context of an elongated business
transformation.  The acquisition of Canwest Global Communication
Corp.'s former newspaper publishing operations is more than a mere
recapitalization of a business that was over-levered.  In addition
to normalizing the debt load, and with it, leverage and coverage
measures, management plans to reposition the business as an
aggregator and manager of news and current events content.
Simultaneously, Moody's expect CWLP to continue to restructure
operations and expect outsourcing efforts will be key to re-
positioning the company as an advertising-based digital age news
and current events content company.  Moody's anticipate reduced
capital expenditures and enhanced operational flexibility at the
cost of reduced start-to-end of the process control, and reduced
margins.  There are considerable execution risks.  These are
partially off-set by CWLP's considerable franchise value and
audience access.  However, the new management team's plan is
unproven and cash flow generation is somewhat concentrated in a
small number of key properties.  While Moody's assess near term
liquidity as being good, in the event of unforeseen difficulties,
the company's small revolving credit facility provides little
flexibility.

Assignments:

Issuer: CW Acquisition Limited Partnership

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B2

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-2

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned Ba3 (LGD2, 23%)

  -- Senior Secured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned B3 (LGD4,
     64%)

This is Moody's initial rating action for CWLP.

CW Acquisition Limited Partnership is a privately held, Toronto,
Ontario-based newspaper publisher.  The company operates a
national daily, ten metropolitan dailies, two non-metropolitan
dailies, and 23 non-daily community newspapers.  In aggregate the
properties rank as Canada's largest English language franchise of
paid daily newspapers as measured by paid circulation, readership
and revenue.


DEAN FOODS: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Dean Foods Company
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 95.29 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.74 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company pays 175
basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank
loan matures on March 22, 2014, and carries Moody's Ba3 rating and
Standard & Poor's BB rating.  The debt is one of the biggest
gainers and losers among 186 widely quoted syndicated loans with
five or more bids in secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 20, 2010,
Moody's lowered the speculative grade liquidity rating for Dean
Foods to SGL-3 from SGL-2.  The company's corporate family rating
remains Ba3 with a stable outlook.  The SGL rating downgrade
reflects the very weak first quarter which saw a 61% drop in cash
from continuing operations (from $185 million in 2009 to $71
million in 2010) and an increase in leverage to 4.43 times (as
defined by credit agreements) as compared with 4.16 times at the
end of the year.  Moody's believes that there may be little or no
cushion under the bank leverage covenant under the existing
facilities by year end 2010 when it steps down from 5.0 times to
4.5 times.

On May 19, The TCR reported that Standard & Poor's revised its
outlook on Dean Foods Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Dean
Holding Co. to negative from stable.  "At the same time, we
affirmed the ratings on the company, including the 'BB-' corporate
credit rating.  Dean Foods had about $4.2 billion of funded debt
outstanding as of March 31, 2010."

"The outlook revision to negative reflects our concerns about the
company's near-term operating performance and the possibility for
the company's leverage covenant to become very tight by fiscal
year end 2010," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christopher
Johnson.

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


DELTA AIR: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'B2'
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B2 corporate family and
probability of default ratings of Delta Air Lines, Inc.  Moody's
affirmed its existing ratings on each of Delta's first lien and
second lien senior secured credit facilities or secured notes and
on the respective rated tranches of certain of its Enhanced
Equipment Trust Certificates.  Moody's also affirmed the SGL-2
speculative grade liquidity rating and changed the outlook to
stable from negative.

The stabilization of the rating outlook reflects Moody's belief
that the recent improvements in industry demand should allow Delta
to build on the positive inflection of its credit metrics that
began in the first quarter of 2010.  The completion of a
substantial majority of the integrations of systems and work
groups since the merger with Northwest Airlines Corporation
removes a considerable amount of execution risk, allowing
management to focus on pursuing the revenue synergies it had
targeted from the merger.  Moody's anticipates that credit metrics
will strengthen into 2011, which supports the stabilization of the
outlook.

The B2 corporate family rating reflects Delta's leading position
in the global passenger airline sector and the improving credit
metrics profile.  Even with recent improvement, Delta's credit
metrics remain somewhat weaker than the cross-industry medians for
the B2 rating category.  However, liquidity remains good with a
substantial cash balance, significant availability under revolving
credit facilities and expectations of expansion of free cash flow
above the about $600 million achieved in the last 12 months
through March 31, 2010.  The B2 rating also considers the benefits
the global route network should provide in an improving market
environment, the manageable level of capital spending with
relatively few aircraft on order and that pressure on labor costs
will remain manageable notwithstanding the recent rulemaking by
the National Mediation Board, that eased the threshold for labor
groups to approve unionization.

The affirmation of the SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating
reflects Moody's expectation of positive free cash flow generation
and the maintenance of combined liquidity (unrestricted cash plus
availability under revolving credit facilities above
$5.0 billion).

Demonstrated improvement in credit metrics relative to the levels
at March 31, 2010, could lead to a positive outlook.  Moody's
would look for Debt to EBITDA sustained below 5.5 times, Funds
from Operations + Interest to Interest that approaches 3.0 times
and an EBITDA margin sustained above 15%.  Annual free cash flow
that is sustained above $1.5 billion could also lead to an outlook
change to positive.

The outlook could be changed to negative if the recent positive
inflection of profit margins and credit metrics was to reverse,
either because of weaker than anticipated demand or a significant
sustained increase in the cost of fuel that the company is not
able to cover through higher ticket prices, or a combination of
the two.  Debt to EBITDA that remains above 7.5 times, Funds from
Operations + Interest to Interest that remains below 2.2 times or
an EBITDA margin of less than 13% could cause Moody's to return
the outlook to negative.  The inability to realize the intended
revenue synergies now that the majority of the operating systems
have been consolidated could also adversely affect the credit
profile as could the inability to maintain unrestricted cash above
$3.5 billion.

The last rating action was on December 10, 2009, when Moody's
assigned ratings to the revenue bonds issued by Clayton County
Development Authority, Georgia.

DELTA AIR: Gets DOT Nod for Detroit to Tokyo's Haneda Flights
-------------------------------------------------------------
Delta Air Lines issued a statement from CEO Richard Anderson
praising the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for its
proposal to allow nonstop service between Tokyo International
Airport, also known as Haneda Airport, and Detroit and Los
Angeles.

"We thank Secretary Ray LaHood and his team at the DOT for this
decision, which will increase competition and enhance customer
benefits on flights between the United States and Haneda Airport.
Secretary LaHood has provided great leadership for the U.S.
aviation industry.

"I especially want to thank the more than 12,000 Delta employees,
customers, elected officials, business leaders and community
advocates, in both the United States and Japan, who sent letters
in support of our application.  This new service will create jobs
and boost local economies on both sides of the Pacific.

"We're looking forward to serving this airport from Detroit and
Los Angeles."

Delta will begin its service within the timeframe specified in the
order, pending DOT's final approval.

The decision gives Sky Team, Delta's global airline alliance, its
first opportunity to serve Haneda, which is conveniently located
near central Tokyo.  Delta's service will add a third major
airline alliance to Haneda, increasing

DIETRICH'S SPECIALTY: Gets Interim OK to Obtain DIP Financing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dietrich's Specialty Processing, LLC, sought and obtained interim
authorization from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania to use cash collateral and obtain
postpetition financing from VIST Bank.

The Company will have interim access to cash until June 11,
pending final approval of the financing and cash collateral use.
The Court has set a final hearing for June 10, 2010.

The DIP lender has committed to provide a non-revolving line of
credit.  The Debtor's obligation to repay advances under Line will
be evidenced by the Debtor's promissory note in the face amount of
$500,000.

A copy of the DIP financing agreement is available for free at:

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

Dexter Case, Esq., at Case, DiGamberardino & Lutz, P.C., the
attorney for the Debtor, explains that the Debtor needs the money
to fund its Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties.

Prior to the commencement of the Debtor's bankruptcy case, VIST
made loans and advances, and provided other credit accommodations
to and for the benefit of the Debtor.  The principal amount of all
loans, advances and other indebtedness owed by the Debtor to VIST
pursuant to the existing financing agreements as of the Petition
Date consists of loans in the aggregate principal amount of not
less than $4,396,060.85, together with interest accrued and
accruing thereon and fees, costs, expenses and other charges
accrued and accruing with respect thereto.

The DIP facility will mature on June 30, 2010.  The DIP facility
will incur interest at the Prime Rate (the greater of (i) 5% and
(ii) the rate per annum equal to the rate of interest announced by
Bank as its Prime Rate).  In the event of default, the Debtors
will pay the sum of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time,
plus the 300 basis points for each 30 day period or the default
rate margin.

VIST is authorized to apply $78,000 initially advanced under the
DIP Agreement to repay in full all accrued pre-petition interest
on the pre-petition debt and future advances under the DIP
Agreement and cash collateral to post-petition interest on the
pre-petition debt and the DIP financing.

The DIP lien is subject to a carve-out, which is the (i) the sum
of (a) up to $78,000 in accrued, unpaid fees and expenses for the
Borrower's counsel, plus (b) up to $52,000 in accrued, unpaid fees
and expenses for Penn Hudson, Debtors management consultant, plus
(c) up to $26,000 in accrued, unpaid fees and expenses for
Debtor's outside accountant; plus (d) up to $40,000 in accrued,
unpaid fees and expenses for Committee professionals, plus (e) up
to $15,000 for fees payable pursuant to the U.S. Trustee fee,
collectively subject to an aggregate cap of up to $198,000.

The Debtor agrees that it will deliver to VIST: (a) on Monday of
each week commencing May 17, 2010, a report reflecting detail
actual receipts and disbursements during the previous calendar
week and a comparison of the actual receipts and disbursements for
the week as well as on a cumulative basis through the end of the
prior week; (b) notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default immediately upon knowledge thereof; (c) all financial
statements required under the Existing Financing Documents; and
(d) from time to time, such further information regarding the
business affairs and financial condition of the Debtor as VIST may
reasonably request.

Mr. Case says that the Debtor will also use the cash collateral to
provide additional liquidity.

As partial adequate protection for the use of cash collateral and
to secure the prompt payment and performance of any and all
obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Debtor to VIST,
VIST is granted valid and perfected first priority security
interests and liens.  As additional adequate protection for the
use of cash collateral and security for all of the DIP Loan
Obligations of the Debtor to VIST, VIST is granted an allowed
super-priority administrative claim.

The Debtor will use cash collateral and the proceeds of the DIP
Loan provided to the Debtor pursuant to the budget, a copy of
which is available for free at:

FAIRPOINT COMMS: Gets 2nd Extension of Removal Period
-----------------------------------------------------
FairPoint Communications Inc. and its units sought and obtained an
order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York for an extension, through and including July 26, 2010, of
the time within which the Debtors may file notices of removal of
pending state court actions pursuant to Rule 9027(a)(2)(A) of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

James T. Grogan, Esq., at Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker LLP, in
New York, relates that since the entry of the First Action
Removal Extension Order, the Debtors and their professionals have
expended substantial time and effort in making significant
progress in their Chapter 11 cases.  Among others, the
preparation and filing of the Debtors' Plan and Disclosure
Statement resulted in the Debtors' lack of time to fully examine
the pending Actions to determine the feasibility or benefit of
removing each Action, he explains.

Moreover, the Debtors aver that in connection with determining
whether to remove any Action, they need to conduct a
comprehensive analysis of their pending Actions and evaluate
whether removal would affect their rights, liabilities and
ultimate distribution to the estate's creditors.

FAIRPOINT COMMS: Plan Awaits Ruling From State Regulators
---------------------------------------------------------
The confirmation hearings in the cases of FairPoint
Communications Inc. and its debtor affiliates are continued to
July 2010 pending approvals of the public utility commissions in
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont and the resolution of any
dispute with respect to the litigation trust contemplated by the
proposed Chapter 11 Plan.

The confirmation hearing commenced on May 11, 2010.

In an effort to iron out some disputes, FairPoint entered into
certain regulatory settlements with the Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont PUCs in February 2010.  The Regulatory Settlements
include terms related to broadband commitments, capital
investment and service quality requirements.  The Settlements are
incorporated in the Company's Chapter 11 Plan.

Failure to meet service quality requirements in Maine, New
Hampshire, and Vermont may result in penalties being assessed by
the respective state regulatory body.  Term sheets executed with
the state regulatory authorities of New Hampshire and Vermont
defer fiscal 2008 and 2009 penalties until December 31, 2010, and
include a clause whereby those penalties may be forgiven in part
or in whole if the Company meets certain metrics for the 12-month
period ending December 31, 2010.

FairPoint noted in its recently filed annual report for the 2009
fiscal year that as of December 31, 2009, it has accrued fiscal
2008 and 2009 liabilities of $6.0 million for New Hampshire and
approximately $11.4 million for Vermont.

                  New Hampshire PUC Proceedings

The merits hearing in the New Hampshire PUC with respect to
FairPoint matters commenced on May 24, 2010.

According to Debra A. Howland, executive director of NHPUC, her
office will accept written submissions by June 4, 2010, in lieu
of oral closing statements.  To the extent any party wishes to
address the motion for interim suspension of the March 31, 2010
broadband deployment deadline, it may do so orally at the close
of the hearing or as part of its post-hearing written
submissions.

        FairPoint Could Pay $600K+ in Legal Fees to Maine

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
is not against the idea of FairPoint Communications covering the
legal fees and costs of the Maine Public Utility Commission and
the Public Advocate's Office.  According to the Mainebiz News,
FairPoint can pay up to $600,000 in outside legal fees that the
public agencies had incurred while standing in for FairPoint's
consumers in the Company's Chapter 11 proceedings.

Bankruptcy Judge Lifland previously authorized FairPoint to
reimburse the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses and
costs incurred by the New Hampshire Public Utility Commission's
Staff Advocates and the Vermont Department of Public Service
postpetition, solely in furtherance of the process of negotiating
the terms of Regulatory Settlement Agreements among the parties.
The authorized reimbursements include reasonable fees and
expenses of the Regulatory Agencies' professionals.

FAIRPOINT COMMS: Reports 2009 Annual Financial Results
------------------------------------------------------
FairPoint Communications, Inc., delivered to the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2010, its annual report for
the period ended December 2009.

FairPoint Chief Executive Officer David L. Hauser relates that
the Company's revenues decreased $147,900,000 to $1,126,800,000
in 2009 compared to 2008.

According to Mr. Hauser, FairPoint's revenues have been impacted
by the weakness of the economy during 2008 and 2009, which has
caused a decrease in discretionary consumer spending and resulted
in an increase in access line losses and a decrease in usage.
Revenues have also been adversely impacted by the effects of
competition and the use of alternative technologies, he notes.
The "cutover" issues of the Company, which refer to the
transition process of certain acquisitions of the Company from
Verizon Communications, and the detrimental effects of its
bankruptcy proceedings also affected its revenues, Mr. Hauser
cites.  FairPoint filed for bankruptcy protection in October
2009.

The acquisition of "Legacy FairPoint" contributed $245,500,000
and $196,700,000 to total revenues in the years ended Dec. 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively, according to Mr. Hauser.  Excluding
the impact of the Merger, combined total revenue would have
decreased $196.7 million.

"Legacy FairPoint" refers to FairPoint Communications, Inc.,
exclusive of its acquired Northern New England operations.  The
Merger refers to a March 2008 transaction for the merger of
FairPoint affiliates with Northern New England Spinco Inc., a
Verizon subsidiary.

The Company's cost of services and sales decreased $61,900,000 to
$514,900,000 in 2009 compared to 2008.  Legacy FairPoint
contributed $88,700,000 and $80,500,000 to cost of services and
sales in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.  Excluding the impact of the Merger and a Merger-
related Transition Services Agreement, cost of services and sales
would have declined $19,500,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of FairPoint
increased $41,300,000 to $425,600,000 in 2009 compared to 2008.
Legacy FairPoint contributed $79,200,000 and $38,100,000 to
selling, general and administrative expenses in the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Excluding the impact
of the Merger and the Transition Services Agreement, selling,
general and administrative expenses would have increased
$106,400,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased $20,300,000 to
$275,300,000 in 2009 compared to 2008.  Legacy FairPoint
contributed $36,700,000 and $27,800,000 to depreciation and
amortization expense in the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.  Excluding the impact of the Merger,
depreciation and amortization expense would have increased
$11,400,000, due primarily to increased gross plant asset
balances, including capitalized software placed into service upon
termination of the Transition Services Agreement.

Included in operating expenses are non-cash stock based
compensation expenses associated with the award of restricted
stock and restricted units.  Stock based compensation expenses
totaled $2,100,000 and $4,400,000 for the years ended Dec. 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $241,400,000
compared to net loss of $68,500,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2008.

As of April 30, 2010, there were 89,989,144 shares of FairPoint's
common stock outstanding.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK: Closed; The Jefferson Bank Assumes Deposits
----------------------------------------------------------------
First National Bank of Rosedale, Miss., was closed on June 4,
2010, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which
appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.
To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with The Jefferson Bank of Fayette, Miss., to
assume all of the deposits of First National Bank.

The sole branch of First National Bank will reopen during normal
business hours as a branch of The Jefferson Bank.  Depositors of
First National Bank will automatically become depositors of The
Jefferson Bank.  Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC,
so there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage.
Customers of First National Bank should continue to use their
existing branch until they receive notice from The Jefferson Bank
that it has completed systems changes to allow other The Jefferson
Bank branches to process their accounts as well.

As of March 31, 2010, First National Bank had around $60.4 million
in total assets and $63.5 million in total deposits.  The
Jefferson Bank did not pay the FDIC a premium for the deposits of
First National Bank.  In addition to assuming all of the deposits
of the failed bank, The Jefferson Bank agreed to purchase
essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and The Jefferson Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction on $43.5 million of First National Bank's assets.  The
Jefferson Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered
under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-share transaction is
projected to maximize returns on theassets covered by keeping them
in the private sector.  The transaction also is expected to
minimize disruptions for loan customers.  For more information on
loss share, please visit:

  http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-331-6306.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

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

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $12.6 million.  The Jefferson Bank's acquisition of all
the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to all alternatives.  First National Bank is the 79th
FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the
first in Mississippi.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in
the state was Bank of Falkner, Falkner, on Sept. 29, 2000.


FORD MOTOR: Moody's Maintains 'B1' Despite Mercury Production Halt
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service released an Issuer Comment stating that
the ratings and outlook of Ford Motor Company are being maintained
following the company's announcement that it will end production
of Mercury vehicles during the fourth quarter of this year.
Ford's ratings include: B1 Corporate Family Rating and Probability
of Default Rating; Ba1 secured rating; B2 unsecured rating; and
SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating.  The rating outlook is
stable.

The last rating action on Ford was an upgrade of the company's
Corporate Family Rating to B1 on May 18, 2010.

Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Dearborn Michigan, is a
leading global manufacturer of automobiles.


FOUNTAIN SQUARE II: Can Use Cash to Order Replacement Parts
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Hon. Catherine Peek McEwen of the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Middle District of Florida, in Tampa, has given
Fountain Square II, Ltd., limited authority to use its lender's
cash collateral purpose of ordering a replacement part for a
broken part from Tudi Mechanical Systems, Inc., critical to the
operation of the air conditioning system.  The amount needed to
order the part is approximately $39,000, representing one-half of
the quoted amount for repair of the air conditioning system.  The
lack of air conditioning would adversely impact the tenants of the
Office Building.  Counsel for the secured creditor, Branch Bank &
Trust, consented to the use of cash collateral for the purpose of
ordering the necessary part for the air conditioning system.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, as borrower, executed and
delivered to Capmark Finance, Inc., a promissory note for
$16,060,000; a promissory note for $4,040,000; a Mortgage,
Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreement and Fixture
Filing; and Assignment of Leases and Rents; and UCC-1 Financing
Statement.  Thereafter, the initial loan documents were assigned
by Capmark Finance to Colonial Bank, N.A.

On September 28, 2007, the Debtor and Colonial Bank entered into
the Notice of Future Advance and Mortgage Modification Ageement.
A future advance for $4,900,000 was granted by Colonial Bank to
the debtor.  The Notice of Future Advance was consolidated with
the outstanding principal balances of the Promissory Notes
pursuant to a Consolidation and Renewal Promissory Note for
$25,000,000.

The Initial Loan Documents together with the Notice of Future
Advance were assigned by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, as receiver for Colonial Bank, in favor of BB&T.

In its motion, the Debtor sought permission to use cash
collateral:

     -- for care, maintenance and preservation of the Debtor's
        assets;

     -- to pay necessary payroll and other business expenses;

     -- to purchase goods and services, including inventory; and

     -- for continued business operations.

The Debtor said in the motion it proposes to allow floating liens
on the postpetition collateral in the same amount and level as
BB&T held prepetition and maintain the same level of Collateral as
prepetition.  Because of uncertainties regarding the timing of
expenses and purchases, and the impact of Chapter 11 on these
items, the Debtor said it is impossible to predict with accuracy
the precise amount of cash collateral necessary for the Debtor to
operate its business.  The Debtor said the proposed utilization of
cash collateral will not, in any event, impair BB&T's position.

Tampa, Florida-based Fountain Square II, Ltd., filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on May 13, 2010 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case
No. 10-11419).  The Company estimated its assets and debts at
$10,000,001 to $50,000,000.

FULTON HOMES: Plan Proposes Full Payment by 2015
------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Fulton Homes Corp.
scheduled a July 6 hearing for approval of a disclosure statement
explaining the third amended Chapter 11 plan.  The Plan proposes
to pay all creditors in full by the end of 2015, with interest.

According to the report, Bank of America NA, as agent for
unsecured lenders owed almost $164 million, opposes the Plan.
Over the bank's opposition, the bankruptcy judge this week
extended Fulton's exclusive right to propose a plan until the end
of August.

Bloomberg recounts that Fulton proposed a plan last year that was
accepted by all creditor classes except the banks.  The judge
ruled this year in favor of Bank of America by deciding that the
plan couldn't be confirmed.

Fulton, according to Bloomberg, responded by filing the newest
plan in May that proposes distributing $35 million in cash to
creditors when the plan is confirmed.  Creditors would receive $15
million a year, with the remainder paid by Dec. 31, 2015.
Interest would be paid throughout.

Fulton has no substantial secured debt.

Fulton Homes Corporation -- http://www.fultonhomes.com-- is a
Tempe, Arizona-based homebuilder.  The Company filed for Chapter
11 protection on January 27, 2009 (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 09-
01298).  Mark W. Roth, Esq., at Shughart Thomson & Kilroy PC,
represents the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.  When the
Debtor filed for protection from its creditors, it listed assets
and debt between $100 million and $500 million each.

FX LUXURY: Court Denies Auction of Substantially All Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Bruce A. Markell of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the

a process of selling substantially all of the assets of the

GAP INC: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'BB+'
corporate credit rating and revised its outlook on San Francisco-
based The Gap Inc. to positive from stable.

"The ratings on Gap Inc. reflect management's challenge in
improving the business fundamentals of its three brands in an
intensely competitive industry over the past several years, while
maintaining satisfactory credit-protection measures," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jackie E. Oberoi.  The company's
good market position in casual apparel, geographic diversity, and
strong cash flow partially offset these factors.

After several years of weak sales trends, Gap Inc.'s top line
improved over the past three quarters.  Same-store sales were flat
in the third quarter ended Oct. 31, 2009, up 2% in the fourth
quarter ended Jan. 30, 2010, and up 4% in the first quarter ended
May 1, 2010; all North American divisions had positive same-stores
sales in the first quarter.

"While S&P expect that the current economic environment will be a
challenge to Gap Inc.'s maintenance of current positive sales
trends," said Ms. Oberoi, "S&P believes that revised merchandise
and marketing initiatives should help the company to sustain
recent performance." Furthermore, consumers focused on value could
help buoy Old Navy's performance over the near term.


GARLOCK SEALING: Files for Chapter 11 to Address Asbestos Claims
----------------------------------------------------------------
Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, a global leader in fluid-sealing
products and a wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro Industries, Inc.
(NYSE: NPO), announced that it has taken a step toward a permanent
resolution of asbestos-related personal injury claims against the
company.  On June 5, Garlock filed a voluntary petition in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina
in Charlotte to establish a trust to resolve all current and
future asbestos claims against Garlock under Section 524(g) of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The filing includes the Garrison Litigation Management Group,
Ltd., which manages Garlock's asbestos claims and relationships
with its insurers, and The Anchor Packing Company, which ceased
operations in the mid-1990s.

"With this action, we moved toward resolving asbestos claims
against our company in a permanent, transparent and efficient
manner," said Dale Herold, president of Garlock Sealing
Technologies.  "We have begun a process that we believe will
result in a comprehensive resolution of all current and future
claims against Garlock while preserving the value and protecting
the future of our company and without interruption of our normal
business operations."

Garlock previously manufactured products which contained asbestos.
Despite the fact that the asbestos fibers were non-friable and
encapsulated within the product, Garlock has defended claims
regarding exposure to asbestos in gasket sealing products for 35
years.  Garlock has processed more than 900,000 asbestos claims to
conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and,
together with its insurers, has paid over $1.4 billion in
settlements and judgments and over $400 million in fees and
expenses.

Garlock anticipates that its Chapter 11 filing will not disrupt
service to customers, that suppliers will be paid in full, that
employees will retain their salaries and benefits and that retiree
pensions and other benefits will continue to be paid in the
ordinary course.  Garlock has obtained $10 million in debtor-in-
possession (DIP) financing from Bank of America, which, subject to
court approval, would provide additional liquidity, if necessary,
during the process.

Mr. Herold stated, "Garlock's cash flows should be sufficient for
us to operate our business without interruption and to maintain
our commitments to our employees, customers, and suppliers.  The
DIP financing would provide additional resources, should we need
them.  As we begin this process, we have complete confidence in
the dedication of our employees, who are the core of our
operation.  We also greatly value our relationships with our
customers and suppliers and appreciate their continuing support."

"Most importantly, we remain committed to excellence in all that
we do.  We will continue to be a safe and productive company, a
good neighbor, a good place to work and a strong competitor,"
added Herold.  Garlock will operate in the ordinary course under
court protection from asbestos claimants while in the claims
resolution process available under Chapter 11.  All pending
litigation against Garlock will be stayed as the company seeks to
develop and implement a court-approved plan to permanently resolve
all asbestos-related claims.  Garlock plans to negotiate with
representatives of asbestos claimants to establish a trust to pay
all valid claims.  Absent a negotiated resolution, Garlock intends
to ask the court to determine the amount necessary to fund the
trust.

"This step is not an indication of current financial distress at
Garlock," Mr. Herold said.  "Our company is strong.  We believe we
can fund a settlement trust in full with our own resources while
maintaining our position as the leader in fluid sealing technology
and preserving our opportunities for growth."

Steve Macadam, president and chief executive officer of EnPro
Industries, said, "We are completely committed to Garlock.  It is
a core investment, and we will continue to seek opportunities for
growth in the markets it serves."

The filing covers only Garlock operations in Palmyra, New York and
Houston, Texas.  Garlock Rubber Technologies, Garlock Helicoflex,
Pikotek, Technetics, Garlock Europe and Garlock operations in
Canada, Mexico or Australia are not affected by the filing, nor is
EnPro Industries or any other EnPro operating subsidiary.

Headquartered in Palmyra, NY, Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC is

GROSSMAN'S INC: Third Circuit Abandons Frenville After 26 Years
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that the long-derided
Frenville opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia
was overruled on June 2 when all 12 active judges on the 3rd
Circuit rejected their own precedent and lined up with all of the
other seven courts of appeal to decide when a claim arises in
bankruptcy.

According to the report, Frenville, decided by three 3rd Circuit
judges in 1984, ruled that a claim wasn't discharged in bankruptcy
if it hadn't arisen under state law before bankruptcy.  Virtually
every other court to consider the issue took a differing view,
saying that the Philadelphia appeals court's ruling was contrary
to the broad definition given to the word "claim" in the federal
Bankruptcy Code.

Mr. Rochelle relates that, the 3rd Circuit, reversing itself in a
case involving the Chapter 11 reorganization of Grossman's Inc.,
now holds that an asbestos claim arises when the individual is
exposed, even though the injury isn't manifest until years later.
In the case before the court, the plaintiff was exposed to
asbestos before the Chapter 11 filing and the disease didn't arise
until years later.

The case is Jeld-Wen Inc. v. Van Brunt (In re Grossman's
Inc.), 09-1563, 3rd U.S. Court of Appeals (Philadelphia).

                      About Grossman's Inc.

Grossman's Inc. operated 15 stores under the name Contractors'
Warehouse in California, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, and 29 stores
under the name Mr. 2nd's Bargain Outlet in Massachusetts, New York
and Rhode Island.

On December 22, 1997 Grossman's Inc. emerged from Chapter 11 after
its Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization with JELD-WEN, inc.
has gone effective.  JELD-WEN, Inc., the co-sponsor of the Plan,
provided $8.65 million funding available for distribution to
unsecured creditors of Grossman's.


GSI GROUP: Seeks Exclusivity Period Extension
---------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that GSI Group is asking the Court to
extend the exclusive period during which the Company can file a
Chapter 11 Plan and solicit acceptances thereof through and
including August 16, 2010 and October 15, 2010, respectively.

GSI Group is filing the extension motion out of an abundance of
caution.  Although the Company's Fourth Modified Chapter 11 Plan
has already been confirmed by the Court, the effective date will
not occur for approximately 60 days.  The Debtors seek the
extension in order to safeguard against what could be a derailing
of the case if a competing plan were permitted to be filed.

                           About GSI Group

medical, electronics, and industrial markets and semiconductor
systems. GSI Group Inc.'s common shares are quoted on Pink Sheets

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 attempt 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.

HAWKER BEECHCRAFT: Bank Debt Trades at 18% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Hawker Beechcraft
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 82.06 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.86 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company
pays 200 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank loan matures on March 26, 2014, and carries Moody's Caa1
rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+ rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 186 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for the week
ended Friday.

Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC, headquartered in
Wichita, Kansas, is a leading manufacturer of business jets,
turboprops and piston aircraft for corporations, governments and
individuals worldwide.

Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company LLC reported a net loss of
$63.4 million on $568.2 million of total sales for the three

$53.1 million on $537.6 million of sales for the three months
ended March 29, 2009.  The Company's balance sheet at March 28,
2010, showed $3.41 billion in total assets and $3.36 billion in

HAWKEYE RENEWABLES: Prepack Plan Confirmed After Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Hawkeye Renewables
LLC won approval of its prepackaged Chapter 11 plan after a
settlement was reached between first- and second-lien creditors.
The bankruptcy judge signed a confirmation order on June 2 after
ruling that the settlement didn't require a new vote of creditors.

Bloomberg recounts that under the original iteration of the
Prepack Plan, first-lien lenders owed $593 million were to have
all of the equity and a new $25 million secured term loan. The
second-lien creditors, who opposed the plan at three days of
confirmation hearings in March and April, were offered a profit
participation equaling 7.5% of distributions over $435 million.

Bloomberg relates that with second-lien creditors attempting to
block confirmation, the first-lien holders decided to settle by
giving the junior constituency 1% of the equity and 10% above
distributions of $435 million.  The first-lien's distribution
declined to 99% from 100% of the new equity.

Unsecured creditors whose claims total less than $1 million and
equity holders won't receive anything.

Standard & Poor's placed its 'B+' corporate credit rating on
hospital giant HCA Inc. and S&P's ratings on its secured and
unsecured debt on CreditWatch with positive implications.  "The
speculative-grade rating on HCA continues to reflect S&P's view
that the largest U.S. owner and operator of acute health care
facilities is particularly sensitive to reduced capacity
utilization and pricing," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
David Peknay, "by virtue of the significant debt leverage assumed
in its November 2006 leveraged buyout."

Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of HCA, Inc.,
including the B2 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings, under review for possible upgrade.  This rating action
follows the announcement that the company has filed a Form S-1 in
contemplation of an initial public offering.

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, HCA is the nation's largest
acute care hospital company with 162 hospitals and 106
freestanding surgery centers (including eight hospitals and eight

INTELSAT JACKSON: Bank Debt Trades at 8% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Intelsat Jackson
Holdings Ltd. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
91.90 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and
reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase
of 1.15 percentage points from the previous week, The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 300 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The bank loan matures on Feb. 5, 2014, and
carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B+ rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 186 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

Intelsat Jackson Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Intelsat
Ltd.  Headquartered in Penbroke, Bermuda, Intelsat is the largest
fixed satellite service operator in the world and is privately
held by financial investors.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 16, 2009,
Standard & Poor's assigned its 'B+' issue-level and '2' recovery
ratings to Intelsat Jackson Holdings Ltd.'s proposed $500 million
senior notes due 2019.  The '2'-recovery rating indicates
expectations for substantial (70%-90%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.  Intelsat Subsidiary Holding Co. Ltd also
guarantees the proposed notes.  Issue proceeds will be used to
purchase and retire about $400 million of the 11.5%/12.5% senior
paid-in-kind election notes due 2017 that reside at Intelsat
Bermuda Ltd. ($2.4 billion outstanding as of June 30, 2009) and
for general corporate purposes.  Ratings are based on preliminary
documentation and are subject to review of final documents.

In addition, S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on Intelsat Sub
Holdco's unsecured debt to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  This rating action
also applies to the debt at Intelsat Jackson Holdings that is
guaranteed by Sub Holdco.  The downgrade of about $3.7 billion in
debt is due to the increased debt that is guaranteed by Intelsat
Sub Holdco.  S&P revised the recovery rating on these notes to '2'
from '1'.  Also, S&P affirmed the 'B' corporate credit rating on
parent Intelsat Ltd.  The outlook is stable.

The TCR reported on Oct. 16, 2009, that Moody's assigned a B3
rating to Intelsat Jackson Holdings, Ltd.'s new $500 million 10-
year note issue.  The new notes are guaranteed by Intelsat
Jackson's indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Intelsat Subsidiary
Holding Company, Ltd. and, as they rank equally with existing B3-
rated senior notes issued by Intelsat SubHoldCo (and with senior
notes at Intelsat SubHoldCo's sister company, Intelsat
Corporation), they are rated at the same B3 level.

JACKSON & PERKINS: Has Interim OK to Use Rose Growers' Cash
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jackson & Perkins Wholesale, Inc., and J & P Acquisitions, Inc.,
won interim permission from Judge John E. Waite of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina to use cash
collateral on which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, San
Joaquin Horticulture, and Rosetree Nurseries assert or may assert
a security interest and lien.  The Debtors have proposed to use
the inventory and accounts receivable for payment of operating
expenses which are absolutely necessary for the continuation of
their businesses.

SJH and Rosetree, California-based growers of rose bushes, tried
to block approval of the Debtors' request.  SJH and Rosetree
contracted with JPW to grow rose bushes.

As of the petition date, Wells Fargo claims to be owed $20.6
million from Debtor JPW, the Debtor JPA, and from the debtors in
the Park Seed Cases -- In re Geo. W. Park Seed Co., Inc., Case No.
10-02431-jw; In re Park Wholesale, Inc., Case No. 10-02432-jw; In
re Jackson & Perkins Company, Inc., Case No. 10-02434-jw.  The
Park Seed Cases are jointly administered with the cases of JPW and
JPA.

Wells Fargo's claim arises from three loans: (1) a $12.5 million
loan allegedly secured by assets of all three debtors in the Park
Seed Cases, and also allegedly by assets of Debtor JPA and Debtor
JPW; (2) a $2.5 million loan allegedly secured by the same
entities and assets as the $12.5 million loan; and (3) a $5.6
million loan allegedly secured only by Debtor JPW.

According to the Debtors, SJH claims to be owed $3,055,940
allegedly secured by assets of Debtor JPW and from JPC.  Rosetree
claims to be owed $509,583 allegedly secured by assets of Debtor
JPW.

SJH argued that the Debtors' request does not afford SJH adequate
protection.  Rosetree said it is owed $942,730 -- not $509,583.
Rosetree also argued it is not adequately protected by surplus
funds.

In its interim order, the Court held that the Objecting Creditors
are adequately protected by the equity in the Debtors' assets
which secure the creditor's claim.  The Court also held that Wells
Fargo is adequately protected by additional collateral in the
estates of the Park Seed Cases.

A final hearing on the Debtors' request is slated for June 11,
2010, at 9:30 a.m. in Columbia, South Carolina.

LANDAMERICA FIN'L: LES Trustee Has Post-Conf. Interim Report
------------------------------------------------------------
Gerard A. McHale, Jr., the liquidation trustee of the LandAmerica
1031 Exchange Services, Inc. Liquidation Trust, delivered to the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia an
interim report on May 24, 2010, pursuant to Rule 2015 of the
Local Rules for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The Joint Chapter 11 Plan of LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc.
and its affiliates, which include LES, was confirmed on Nov. 23,
2010.  The LES Trustee reports on these activities since the
Confirmation Date:

A. Distributions

  An initial distribution of $96.9 million to LES creditors was
  made in December 2009.  The LES Trustee is working with the
  Liquidation Trust Oversight Committee to determine whether,
  and how, the LES Trust will make another distribution to LES
  creditors this year.

B. Status of the ARS Litigation

  Steps continue to be taken regarding possible claims arising
  from LES' purchase of Auction Rate Securities.

  Jenner & Block, special counsel to the LES Trust, was recently
  before the Bankruptcy Court to enforce subpoenas against
  Citigroup Inc. and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
  Inc., and before other federal courts to enforce subpoenas
  against SunTrust and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
  The parties are completing productions of more than
  1.5 million documents, as required by the court orders, and
  Jenner & Block is in the process of reviewing those documents as
  quickly and efficiently as possible.  The LES Trustee says it
  has and will explore opportunities for reaching a resolution
  with each of the possible subjects of litigation that could
  resolve those disputes efficiently without litigation.

  The LES Trustee is also exploring whether actions by state
  regulators would appropriately provide recoveries that can
  benefit the LES Trust.

C. Status of Insurance Claims

  The LES Trust is reviewing the coverage available under the
  D&O and E&O Insurance Policies, discussing with the LFG
  Trustee the claim that it will pursue relating to the
  company's directors and officers, and discussing with the LFG
  Trustee the pursuit of their respective claims relating to the
  E&O Policies and the relationship and impact of their
  respective claims.

  Due to the interrelated nature of claims that could be
  brought, the LES Trustee and the LFG Trustee are discussing
  how to best cooperate to develop the most effective strategies
  to obtain a successful outcome.  The LES Trustee anticipates
  this will result in a joint strategy to pursue those claims.

D. Status of the LES Claims Objections

  The LES Trust resolved most of its claim prior to confirmation
  of the Plan.  As to those remaining disputed claims, the LES
  Trust, in coordination with Zolfo Cooper, is in the process of
  reviewing the unresolved claims, which include claims
  transferred to LES as a result of claim objections made by the
  LFG Trust.

E. Case Cannot be Closed

  Pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Plan, the case may be closed
  "when all Disputed Claims or Interests filed against a Debtor
  have become Allowed Claims or Interests or have been
  Disallowed by Final Order or otherwise pursuant to the Plan,
  the applicable Trustee will seek authority from the Bankruptcy
  Court to close such Debtor's Chapter 11 case in accordance
  with the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules."

  As of May 24, 2010, the LES Trust has not resolved all of its
  claims and has not made all appropriate distributions as
  litigation is still outstanding.

  The LES Trustee is therefore unable to move the Court to close
  the LandAmerica 1031 Exchange Services, Inc. bankruptcy case
  at this time.

LANDAMERICA FIN'L: Wants Documents From Citigroup, SunTrust
-----------------------------------------------------------
LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., and LandAmerica 1031 Exchange
Services, Inc., ask the Court to enter a Consent Protective Order
to govern the handling of documents and any other information,
produced, given, or exchanged between the Debtors and Citigroup
Global Markets, Inc., and its affiliates; Citigroup, Inc., and
Smith Barney; SunTrust Banks, Inc., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey,
Inc., and SunTrust Investment Services; and the Royal Bank of
Canada and its subsidiary RBC Capital Markets Corporation.

The Debtors inform the Court that counsel for Citigroup,
SunTrust, and RBC and all other parties have agreed to the
Consent Protective Order, except for one provision.

According to Lynn L. Tavenner, Esq., at Jenner & Block LLP, in
Washington, D.C., the one issue of contention under the
Protective Order is subpart 4(h), which deals with the parties'
ability to speak with regulators about the documents received
pursuant to subpoenas issued.

The Debtors have proposed that discussions may be permitted, and
Citigroup and RBC agreed that this was acceptable.  SunTrust,
however, objected that the Debtors should only speak to
regulators about documents the particular regulators already
have.

An agreement in principle was reached with SunTrust's counsel,
permitting discussion with regulators who had already "requested
or obtained any documents from the parties to this agreement,"
subject to further discussion with his client.  That form of
agreement was included in the attached protective order signed by
Citigroup.  However, in signing the agreement, Citigroup's
counsel indicated that it wanted subpart 4(h) to be modified to
match whatever SunTrust ultimately accepted or that was ordered
into effect by the Court.  SunTrust insisted on a more
constricted version of 4(h) in which the Debtors can only speak
about a document with any regulator who already has that very
document.

RBC recently signed an agreement with the Debtors' original
proposed language, but like Citigroup, wants the benefit of any
provision that the Court allows for SunTrust, according to Ms.
Tavenner.

Ms. Tavenner says that in order to permit document production to
begin, the Debtors agreed to SunTrust's narrower provision with
the caveat, written into the agreement, that the issue would be
decided by the Court with no presumption that the scope of the
provision written into the agreement was appropriate.

While Citigroup and RBC did not object to Debtors' original
proposal, both entities want the benefit of any provision that
the Court ultimately allows for SunTrust.  In this light, the
Debtors ask the Court to enter the Consent Protective Order with
a broader scope of subpart 4(h), permitting the Debtors to
discuss subpoenaed documents with regulators.

                    Citigroup, FINRA, SunTrust
                 Oppose Debtors' Motion to Compel

Citigroup, the SunTrust Entities and Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc., have expressed their opposition to the
Debtors' February 2010 Motion to Compel compliance with subpoenas
related to the marketing and sale of auction rate securities to
LandAmerica.

The subject Subpoenas were dated December 18, 2009, pursuant to
authority granted by the Court on December 4, 2009.

Citigroup insists that it has already produced the core set of
documents of over a million pages provided to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, FINRA and other state regulators in
connection with the 2008 investigation concerning ARS; and is
producing documents related specifically to LandAmerica.
Citigroup says the document production is ongoing.

"Simply put, LandAmerica already possesses information that meets
its self-described need to assess potential ARS-related claims
against Citigroup," William A. Broscious, Esq., at Kepley
Broscious & Biggs, PLC, in Richmond, Virginia --
wbroscious@kbbplc.com -- says, on behalf of Citigroup.

The Debtors seem to base their request purely on process, rather
than substance, Mr. Broscious points out.

FINRA, for its part, opposes the Motion to Compel to the extent
the request seeks to force it to disclose substantially all of
the contents of its SunTrust investigative file.

FINRA is a securities regulator conducting a securities
investigation specifically authorized by the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 into certain matters involving the SunTrust Entities.
That investigation is ongoing.

Counsel to FINRA, Loc Pfeiffer, Esq., at Kutak Rock LLP, in
Richmond, Virginia, asserts that the contents of FINRA's
investigative files are protected from discovery by the
investigatory file or law enforcement privilege.  "Forcing FINRA
to disclose the contents of the SunTrust Investigative File would
inflict significant harm on FINRA's ability to continue its
investigation, bring disciplinary charges and otherwise carry out
its statutory role in federal securities regulation," FINRA
Executive Vice President James S. Shorris told the Court in a
submitted affidavit.

The SunTrust Entities assert that the Debtors' request should be
denied because it already has complied with its obligations and
has produced, or agreed to produce, all potentially relevant
materials.  SunTrust clarifies that it objects to the production
of only two categories of documents -- (1) documents that are
both irrelevant and have no change of leading to relevant
information about the Debtors' possible claims, including e-
mails; and (2) transcripts of testimony given by certain SunTrust
employees to FINRA.

Citigroup and SunTrust also note that the Debtors seek some
documents that are not within their possession, custody or
control.  Among those requested docs are transcripts from related
investigations of the SEC and FINRA.

The Objectors thus ask the Court to deny approval of the Debtors'
Motion to Compel.

                        Debtors React to
               Citigroup & SunTrust's Objections

The Debtors insist that the very documents they seek for
production has already been approved by the Court under their
November 2009 Rule 2004 Motion related to potential ARS claims.

There simply is no justification for Citigroup's and SunTrust's
refusal to produce documents already provided to regulators, Ms.
Tavenner says.  "They can be produced without any burden."

As to transcript production, Ms. Tavenner elaborates that caselaw
provides that corporation must require their employees to request
transcripts.

For all these reasons, the Debtors maintain that the Court should
grant their Motions to Compel against Citigroup and SunTrust.

               Debtors React to FINRA's Objections

The Debtors note that FINRA continues to object to producing any
materials they requested, but makes no effort to differentiate
among the materials in terms of the interests served by the law
enforcement privilege.

"FINRA must prove a harm to its law enforcement investigation
from disclosure of the actual documents sought, not some
hypothetical harm in some other investigation where the request
may not be drawn specifically to avoid any harm to FINRA's
investigation," Ms. Tavenner asserts, on behalf of the Debtors.

The Debtors clarify that they carefully tailored their requests
to see only materials that SunTrust exchanged with FINRA and
transcripts of witness interviews.  The Debtors have not asked
for internal FINRA notes, opinions or other work product, Ms.
Tavenner notes.

                          *     *     *

                Court Rules on Motion to Compel

Judge Huennekens determines that the Subpoenas seek documents
that are relevant to the administration of the Debtors' estates
and are not vague, overly broad or unduly burdensome.

The Court thus grants the Debtors' Motion to Compel except as to
FINRA.

The Court orders Citigroup and SunTrust to produce all subpoenaed
documents in their possession and control.  SunTrust is permitted
to redact from any hard copy documents the names of customers
other than the Debtors.  The Debtors, however, have the right to
request the identity of particular customers from SunTrust.

Judge Huennekens, however, denies that Debtors' request as to
FINRA at this time.

Although FINRA need not produce documents at this time in
response to the Subpoenas, FINRA is ordered to respond to
requests from Debtors seeking confirmation of whether SunTrust
has provided the Debtors with all documents produced by SunTrust
to FINRA, all document requests made by FINRA to SunTrust, and
all correspondence between SunTrust and FINRA.  The Debtors may
provide the cover letters from SunTrust's productions to Debtors,
an index, or other descriptions of the SunTrust production.
FINRA may use these materials to confirm whether SunTrust has
provided all of the documents and in the same form to which they
were provided to FINRA and if not, what the specific differences
are between the productions to FINRA and to Debtors.

The Debtors are not be prejudiced by this confirmation procedure
from seeking authority at a later date from the Court to obtain
production of these documents by FINRA.

In a separate ruling, the Court also entered a protective order
for the designation of discovery material among the parties in
early April 2010, noting that the language in Paragraph 4(h) of
the order has not been agreed to by all parties.  The disputed
provision relates to the exchange of information related to
potential claims.

LAUREATE EDUCATION: Bank Debt Trades at 9% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Laureate
Education, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
91.25 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and

percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 325 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on Aug. 17, 2014, and carries

LEAP WIRELESS: Merger Talks with MetroPCS Remains at Impasse
------------------------------------------------------------
Merger talks between Leap Wireless International Inc. and MetroPCS
Communications Inc. have remained at an impasse as both sides have
failed to agree on the relative value of each company, which would
determine the exchange ratio at which Leap shareholders would turn
in their shares for MetroPCS shares, people familiar with the
discussions said, according to The Wall Street Journal's Anupreeta
Das.  The sources said:

     -- Leap wants an exchange ratio that reflects what it
        believes are significant merger-related synergies;

     -- Leap's largest shareholder, Mark Rachesky, wants a price
        that reflects the investment the company has made in
        broadband and third-generation wireless technologies.

The sources said MetroPCS doesn't assign the same value to
synergies and, in the absence of another potential suitor, feels
less compelled to move quickly to seal a deal.

Mr. Rachesky runs MHR Fund Management and controls about 20% of
Leap stock.  He is Leap's chairman.

According to the Journal, people familiar with the matter said
Leap hired advisers late last year to explore strategic options
for the company, including a sale.  The sources said bankers from
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley reached out to
competitors, including Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, to
gauge their interest in a potential tie-up, but Leap failed to
secure any real interest from potential suitors other than
MetroPCS.  The Journal relates Credit Suisse Group AG and J.P.
Morgan Chase & Co. are advising MetroPCS.

One source told the Journal Leap continues to be in discussions
with some of these other parties as well and that among the
scenarios under consideration is a merger with MetroPCS followed
by a sale to a bigger competitor down the road.

The Journal notes MetroPCS and Leap are the fifth- and seventh-
largest U.S. wireless operators -- behind against the four-largest
wireless carriers -- Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc., Sprint Nextel
Corp. and Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA.  The Journal says
both companies share the same wireless networking technology and
operate in complementary markets, together serving at least 12
million customers.

LEHIGH COAL: One Member of Investor Group Allowed to Credit Bid
---------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that an investment group member that had agreed to
act as a stalking horse bidder at a sale outside the ordinary
course of the assets of a Chapter 11 debtor would be allowed to
credit bid the amount of the indebtedness, despite language in the
investment agreement that allegedly required members of the
investment group to share benefits pro rata.  The agreement was
replete with provisions that investors would hold certain
recoveries in trust for the group, suggesting that individual
action was likely anticipated.  In re Lehigh Coal and Nav. Co., --
- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 2025211 (Bankr. M.D. Pa.).

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 4, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtor on May 28, 2010, to sell
its assets to secured creditor BET Associates IV, LLC, in exchange
for $14.8 million in debt, and there were no competing bids at an
earlier auction.  The Honorable John J. Thomas overruled
objections to the sale and credit bidding arrangement raised by
the United Mine Workers; Ciardi Advisory Services, as agent for a
lending group; Primerock Capital, LLC, one of the investors in
that lending group; the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors;
and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation.

At a hearing on June 22, 2010, the Judge Thomas will consider
whether the chapter 11 reorganization should be converted to a
chapter 7 liquidation or if a chapter 11 trustee should be
appointed.

backbones.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2010, showed $8.6 billion

Level 3 Communications carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating,
and 'Caa2' probability of default rating, with negative outlook
from Moody's, a 'B-' issuer default rating from Fitch, and 'B-'
long term issuer credit ratings from Standard & Poor's.


LINCOLN NATIONAL: Fitch Puts 'BB+' Rating on Positive Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed on Rating Watch Positive Lincoln National
Corporation's long-term ratings including these:

  -- Issuer Default Rating 'BBB+';
  -- Senior debt 'BBB';
  -- Junior subordinated debt 'BB+'.

Fitch also affirmed the Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) rating at
'A+' and revised the Rating Outlook to Stable from Negative for
LNC's insurance operating subsidiaries, including Lincoln National
Life Insurance Company.

The rating actions follow Fitch's periodic review of LNC.  The
placement on Rating Watch Positive of LNC's long-term holding
company ratings reflects Fitch's view that LNC has taken important
steps to enhance financial flexibility and reduce liquidity
concerns at the holding company.  The most recent of these
positive measures include the company's announcement yesterday
that it received commitments for a $2 billion bank credit
facility, which includes a $1.5 billion credit facility allowing
for the issuance of letters of credit expiring in 2015 and a 364-
day $500 million credit facility.  LNC intends to primarily use
the $2 billion credit facility to provide LOCs in support of
certain life insurance reserve financing provided by affiliated
offshore reinsurance companies.  Concerns about LNC's liquidity
and financial flexibility were a major factor behind Fitch's
expanded holding company notching in April 2009 and arguably LNC's
$950 million participation in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase
Program.

Fitch would resolve the Rating Watch Positive and consider a
return to normal notching between the holding company IDR rating
and the insurance company IFS rating once LNC repays outstanding
CPP funding.  Management indicated during its first quarter 2010
conference call that LNC may accelerate its CPP repayment
timeframe, originally planned for second half of 2010 through
first half of 2011 or as market conditions dictate.

Overall, Fitch would view the replacement of CPP funds with more
permanent capital market financing as marginally positive in that
it demonstrates an overall improved financial position and
increased access to capital markets.  Although having the CPP
capital on hand provided LNC an additional cushion for near-term
uncertainties, ultimately, repayment should favorably reduce the
potential negative impact to LNC's business position, franchise
value and management team that are concerns for companies that
operate long-term under federal government support and related
restrictions.

As a result of various capital raising efforts, CPP and asset
sales during the past 12-18 months, Fitch believes LNC has
substantially increased its financial flexibility and liquidity
position with $1.1 billion of cash at the holding company as of
March 31, 2010.  Fitch estimates that this level of cash combined
with an expected ordinary dividend from the insurance company of
$600 million in 2010, will result in cash coverage of almost 4.2
times expected 2010 interest and dividend payments.  Fitch
believes that LNC could fund its 2011-2012 debt maturities of
$550 million with holding company cash and still maintain over
1.8x annual interest and dividend payments for 2011 (with no
additional insurance company dividends and without consideration
of CPP repayment).

Fitch's ratings also reflect its view that LNC has an above
average Total Financings and Commitments ratio as of March 31,
2010, at 1.1x when excluding goodwill.  TFC is a non-risk-based
leverage measure that expands on Fitch's traditional debt-to-
equity calculations.  The ratio is driven largely by the company's
outstanding debt as well as financings for life reserves, the
latter of which includes $1.7 billion in LOCs.  Fitch would view
positively substantive progress in LNC's ability to implement
long-term solutions for reserve financing that more closely align
asset/liability duration and reduce refinancing risks.

Fitch's ratings on LNC are supported by the company's longstanding
strong competitive position in the life insurance and annuity
market, strong and diverse distribution network, capable
management team and historically solid operating performance.
Fitch's ratings also acknowledge that LNC has reduced future
reserve financing needs by re-pricing its universal life business
to meet profitability hurdles while holding reserves on balance
sheet.  These positives are tempered somewhat by the challenges
LNC faces with respect to strong competition in the life insurance
and asset accumulation sectors, particularly in the affluent
market segment that LNC has targeted, and the degree to which the
company's earnings continue to be leveraged to the equity markets.

The Stable Outlook on the IFS ratings reflects Fitch's view that
LNC's exposure to future investment losses is manageable in the
context of the company's insurance company capital position and
statutory earnings under Fitch's core stress scenario, which
incorporates the agency's best estimates of investment losses over
the next 12-18 months.

While LNC continues to face challenges, primarily related to asset
risk, refinancing risk and operating performance, Fitch believes
they are manageable within the context of the ratings.  However,
LNC's ratings could be under pressure if the company were unable
to meet certain rating expectations including, but not limited to:
a traditional financial leverage ratio at or below 25% (1Q'10
leverage was 20%); the preservation of holding company cash in the
range of 12-18 months of annual interest, common stock dividends
and debt maturities; the inability to execute on long-term
solutions for life insurance reserve financing; a minimum RBC of
400% at the insurance company during normal economic cycles;
investment losses within Fitch's base case loss expectations; and
the maintenance of solid operating performance and competitive
positions.

Lincoln National Corp., headquartered in Radnor, PA, markets a
broad range of insurance and asset accumulation products and
financial advisory services primarily to the affluent market
segment.  The company's consolidated assets were $181.6 billion,
and common equity was $12.4 billion at March 31, 2010.

Fitch places these ratings of LNC on Rating Watch Positive:

Lincoln National Corporation

  -- Long-term IDR 'BBB+';

  -- 6.2% senior notes due Dec. 15, 2011 'BBB';

  -- 5.65% senior notes due Aug. 27, 2012 'BBB';

  -- 4.75% senior notes due Jan. 27, 2014 'BBB';

  -- 4.75% senior notes due Feb. 15, 2014 'BBB';

  -- 7% senior notes due March 15, 2018 'BBB';

  -- 8.75% senior notes due July 1, 2019 'BBB';

  -- 6.25% senior notes due Feb. 15, 2020 'BBB';

  -- 6.15% senior notes due April 7, 2036 'BBB';

  -- 6.3% senior notes due Oct. 9, 2037 'BBB';

  -- 6.75% junior subordinated debentures due April 20, 2066
     'BB+';

  -- 7% junior subordinated debentures due May 17, 2066 'BB+';

  -- 6.05% junior subordinated debentures due April 20, 2067
     'BB+';

  -- Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock 'BB+'.

Lincoln National Capital VI

  -- Trust preferred securities 'BB+'.

Fitch affirms these ratings:

Lincoln National Corporation

  -- Short-term IDR at 'F2';
  -- CP at 'F2'.

Fitch affirms these ratings of LNC's insurance subsidiaries and
revises the Rating Outlook to Stable from Negative:

Lincoln National Life Insurance Company
Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York
First Penn-Pacific Life Insurance Company

  -- IFS at 'A+'.

1996.  The Company is a multi-jurisdictional gaming company with
operations in three states -- Indiana, Mississippi and Colorado.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
November 23, 2009 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-14136).

The Company's affiliates -- The Majestic Star Casino II, Inc., The
Majestic Star Casino Capital Corp., Majestic Star Casino Capital

METROPCS COMMUNICATIONS: Merger Talks with Leap at Impasse
----------------------------------------------------------
Merger talks between Leap Wireless International Inc. and MetroPCS
Communications Inc. have remained at an impasse as both sides have
failed to agree on the relative value of each company, which would
determine the exchange ratio at which Leap shareholders would turn
in their shares for MetroPCS shares, people familiar with the
discussions said, according to The Wall Street Journal's Anupreeta
Das.  The sources said:

     -- Leap wants an exchange ratio that reflects what it
        believes are significant merger-related synergies;

     -- Leap's largest shareholder, Mark Rachesky, wants a price
        that reflects the investment the company has made in
        broadband and third-generation wireless technologies.

The sources said MetroPCS doesn't assign the same value to
synergies and, in the absence of another potential suitor, feels
less compelled to move quickly to seal a deal.

Mr. Rachesky runs MHR Fund Management and controls about 20% of
Leap stock.  He is Leap's chairman.

According to the Journal, people familiar with the matter said
Leap hired advisers late last year to explore strategic options
for the company, including a sale.  The sources said bankers from
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley reached out to
competitors, including Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, to
gauge their interest in a potential tie-up, but Leap failed to
secure any real interest from potential suitors other than
MetroPCS.  The Journal relates Credit Suisse Group AG and J.P.
Morgan Chase & Co. are advising MetroPCS.

One source told the Journal Leap continues to be in discussions
with some of these other parties as well and that among the
scenarios under consideration is a merger with MetroPCS followed
by a sale to a bigger competitor down the road.

The Journal notes MetroPCS and Leap are the fifth- and seventh-
largest U.S. wireless operators -- behind against the four-largest
wireless carriers -- Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc., Sprint Nextel
Corp. and Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA.  The Journal says
both companies share the same wireless networking technology and
operate in complementary markets, together serving at least 12
million customers.

NCO GROUP: Bank Debt Trades at 3% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which NCO Group, Inc.,
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 97.30 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.62 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company pays 300
basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank
loan matures on Oct. 25, 2013, and carries Moody's B1 rating and
Standard & Poor's B rating.  The debt is one of the biggest
gainers and losers among 186 widely quoted syndicated loans with
five or more bids in secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 16, 2010,
Moody's downgraded the Corporate Family Rating of NCO Group, Inc.,
to B3 from B2 and affirmed the SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity
rating.  Moody's concurrently downgraded each of NCO's debt
instrument ratings by one notch.  The rating outlook was changed
to stable from negative.

The downgrade of the CFR reflects an anticipated decline in
profitability in NCO's ARM and CRM business lines during 2010.
Moody's expects liquidation rates of delinquent accounts
receivables to remain depressed as many consumers struggle with
high unemployment and constrained access to credit.  Profitability
in the CRM segment may be negatively affected by declining
transaction volumes from certain large customers in the
telecommunications sector.

Based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, NCO Group, Inc., is a global
provider of business process outsourcing services, primarily
focused on accounts receivable management and customer
relationship management.  The company also purchases and manages
past due consumer accounts receivable from consumer creditors such
as banks, finance companies, retail merchants, utilities,
healthcare companies, and other consumer-oriented companies.  NCO,
a portfolio company of One Equity Partners, reported revenues of
about $1.4 billion for the twelve month period ended September 30,
2008.


NETWORK COMMS.: Misses Interest Payment; Moody's IDR Now at 'D'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered the Probability of Default
Rating of Network Communications, Inc., to D from B3 and the
Corporate Family Rating to Ca from B3 after the company announced
it had missed the June 1 interest payment on its senior unsecured
notes.  The notes were downgraded to Ca from Caa1.  Concurrently,
the rating on the first lien credit facility was downgraded to
Caa1 from Ba3 and the ratings outlook was changed to negative from
stable.

NCI announced that it elected not to make the $9.4 million
interest payment due June 1, 2010, on its 10.75% senior unsecured
notes maturing 2013.  As a result, the senior secured lenders
accelerated all amounts outstanding on the revolver and term loan,
which in turn triggered an event of default under the 2013 notes.
The company is currently in negotiations with stakeholders to
restructure its balance sheet and expects to fund its business
with cash on hand and cash from operations.

The ratings and negative outlook reflect events of default across
most debt in the capital structure and continued uncertainty
regarding NCI's viability as a going concern.  Should the company
file for bankruptcy protection, Moody's would likely withdraw all
ratings approximately 3 days thereafter.

These ratings were downgraded and Loss Given Default assessments
revised, as noted:

* $15 million first lien revolver, to Caa1 (LGD1, 9%) from Ba3
  (LGD2, 10%)

* $69 million first lien term loan, to Caa1 (LGD1, 9%) from Ba3
  (LGD2, 10%)

* $175 million 10.75% senior unsecured notes due 2013, to Ca
  (LGD4, 57%) from Caa1 (LGD4, 59%)

* Corporate Family Rating, to Ca from B3

* Probability of Default Rating, to D from B3

* Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, to SGL-4 from SGL-3

The parent company's senior subordinated payment-in-kind mezzanine
notes are not rated by Moody's.

The previous rating action occurred on February 5, 2009, when
Moody's downgraded NCI's Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B1.
NCI'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 NCI's core industry and NCI's ratings are believed to be
comparable to those of other issuers of similar credit risk.

Network Communications, Inc., headquartered in Lawrenceville,
Georgia, is a leading publisher of printed and online real estate
information in North America.  For the twelve months ended
December 6, 2009, the company generated revenues of approximately
$150 million.

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on April 8, 2010,
Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., in Phoenix, Ariz., expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a

capital deficiency, was not in compliance with certain financial
covenants related to debt agreements, and has a significant amount
of debt maturing in 2010.


NIELSEN COMPANY: Bank Debt Trades at 7% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which The Nielsen
Company B.V. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.25
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.85
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on Aug. 9, 2013, and carries
Moody's Ba3 rating and Standard & Poor's B+ rating.  The debt is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among 186 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

Active in approximately 100 countries, with headquarters in
Haarlem, The Netherlands and New York, USA, The Nielsen Company
B.V. is a global information and media company.

Nielsen Company carries a 'B2' long term corporate family rating
from Moody's, 'B' issuer credit rating from standard & Poor's, and
'B' issuer default rating from Fitch.


NIELSEN CO: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Rating on CreditWatch Positive
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B' corporate credit
rating for New York City-based The Nielsen Co. B.V., along with
all related issue-level ratings on the company's debt, on
CreditWatch with positive implications.  S&P rate the company on a
consolidated basis with operating subsidiary Nielsen Finance LLC.

"The positive CreditWatch listing is based on Nielsen's intention
to launch an IPO of $1.75 billion and use a yet to be determined
portion of the proceeds to pay down debt," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Tulip Lim.

Nielsen has reduced leverage primarily through EBITDA growth.  For
the 12 months ended March 31, 2010, adjusted leverage was high, at
7.2x, but modestly lower than the 7.5x as of Dec. 31, 2009.  The
company also repaid $25 million of debt in the first quarter.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenue increased
8.5%, or 3.6% on a constant currency basis.  Nielsen's "What
Consumers Watch" segment revenue was flat on a constant currency
basis and the "What Consumers Buy" segment grew 6.5% on a constant
currency basis.  Revenues in the "What Consumers Buy" segment
reflected growth in the more discretionary side of the business,
which provides the company's consumer products customers advanced
analytics and consulting services.  Revenue growth also benefited
from growth in developing markets.  EBITDA increased 12.8%.  S&P
believes that EBITDA growth will slow from the company's
historical double-digit rates.  Therefore, a material reduction in
leverage would likely require significant debt repayment from IPO
proceeds.

In resolving the CreditWatch listing, S&P will meet with the
management team and review its business outlook and plan for debt
repayment.  S&P could raise the rating, potentially by two
notches, depending on the ultimate size of the IPO, the amount of
debt the company repays, and S&P's assessment of the company's
financial policy and future operating performance.

PACIFIC METRO: Files for Bankruptcy After Missing $1-Mil. Payment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports
that Pacific Metro LLC of Morgan Hill, California, the production
company tied to artist Thomas Kinkade, filed for Chapter 11
protection Wednesday in San Jose, disclosing in court papers that
it's "in serious financial condition and is unable to continue
without debt relief."  The filing came a day after Pacific Metro,
formerly known as Thomas Kinkade Co. and Media Arts Group Inc.,
was supposed to make a $1 million payment to two former art
gallery owners in connection with a lawsuit, Ms. Palank relates,
citing the Los Angeles Times.

The report notes the bankruptcy filing will prevent Pacific
Metro's creditors, including Karen Hazlewood and Jeff Spinello,
from demanding payment.  The report relates Ms. Hazlewood and Mr.
Spinello won a $3 million legal judgment against the company in a
lawsuit they brought against Mr. Kinkade alleging that he used his
Christian faith to fraudulently persuade them to open one of the
artist's "signature" galleries.  As a result, the report
continues, Ms. Hazlewood and Mr. Spinello said they suffered such
ills as being stuck with merchandise they couldn't sell.  In a
long-running legal battle that went all the way to the Supreme
Court, Ms. Hazlewood and Mr. Spinello won a $2.8 million legal
judgment against Pacific Metro, some of which the company already
paid off and another portion of which came due this week.

Court for the District of Delaware came despite an objection by

Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the U.S. trustee objected to the
bid to dismiss the bankruptcy and distribute the proceeds from
Pappas' asset sale through a settlement.

PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES: S&P Affirms 'B' Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the ratings on
Cleveland-based Park-Ohio Industries Inc., including the 'B' long-
term corporate credit rating.  S&P also revised the outlook to
stable from negative.

"The outlook revision reflects the company's improved operating
performance, which S&P believes reduces pressure on the company's
debt service coverage ratio covenant," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Sarah Wyeth.  "The company's recently extended
revolver, which matures in June 2013, also supports liquidity,"
she continued.

Park-Ohio, a wholly owned subsidiary of unrated Park-Ohio Holdings
Corp., operates three business segments that serve a variety of
end markets, including transportation, semiconductors, industrial
equipment, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, and
aerospace.

S&P could raise the ratings if the company's operating performance
continues to improve.  For instance, if increasing volumes and
stable operating margins allow Park-Ohio to reduce debt to EBITDA
to less than 5x, S&P could raise the ratings.  Conversely, S&P
could lower the ratings if the company's end markets do not
continue to stabilize or improve, and headroom over its debt
service coverage ratio covenant appears likely to decline to less
than $15 million.  This could result from either declining
earnings or increasing capital expenditures.


PENTON BUSINESS: Post-Emergence Company Has 'Caa1' from Moody's
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Penton Business Media Holdings,
Inc. a Caa1 Corporate Family Rating and Caa1 Probability-of-
Default Rating.  Additionally, a Caa1 rating was assigned to
Penton's $668 million senior secured credit facility due 2014
($42.7 million revolver and $625.3 million term loan) following
the company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 10,
2010.  The restructuring resulted in the elimination of
$266 million of debt (all of the second lien facility) and also
provided an 18 month extension in maturity of the first lien term
loan and revolver to August 2014 as well as the injection of
additional equity from certain of Penton's existing shareholders
including MidOcean Partners and Wasserstein & Co. The rating
outlook is stable.

Assignments:

Issuer -- Penton Business Media Holdings, Inc.

* Corporate Family Rating -- Caa1
* Probability-of-Default Rating -- Caa1

Issuer - Penton Media, Inc. / Penton Business Media, Inc.

* Senior Secured Credit Facility due 2014 -- Caa1 LGD 3, 48%

The rating outlook is stable.

Despite the elimination of $266 million in debt and the equity
injection, Penton's debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio remains above
10x (including Moody's standard adjustments for leases and
pensions) and is expected to remain at this level through December
2010.  Like its B-2-B peers, Penton faces continued secular
pressure from electronic substitution of B-2-B magazine
advertising.  In addition, cyclical challenges will weigh on
operating performance as its customers cut back on their
advertising spending, travel budgets, trade show attendance, and
spending on exhibit space.  High leverage and elevated interest
expense result in minimal free cash flow creating an unsustainable
long-term capital structure in the absence of EBITDA growth to
reduce debt levels.  While Penton is expected to begin generating
a modest level of positive free cash flow in 2011 as unfavorable
swap liabilities roll off, revolver and term loan balances minus
cash are expected to remain above $624 million at December 2011.
The rating is supported by the company's niche focus and Moody's
expectation that Penton will maintain an adequate liquidity
profile.

Moody's last rating action for Penton Business Media Holdings,
Inc., was on February 12, 2010, when the company's CFR was lowered
to Ca and PDR to D following the February 10, 2010 announcement
that it had filed voluntary petitions to restructure under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Penton'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 in the industry; (ii) capital structure and financial
risk; (iii) projected performance over the near to immediate term;
and (iv) management's track record and tolerance for risk.
Moody's compared these attributes against other issuers both

PINNACLE FOODS: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Pinnacle Foods is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.71 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4, 2010, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.57 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company pays 275
basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank
loan matures on April 2, 2014, and carries Moody's B2 rating and
Standard & Poor's B rating.  The debt is one of the biggest
gainers and losers among 186 widely quoted syndicated loans with
five or more bids in secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

On Nov. 24, 2009, the Troubled Company Reporter said that Standard
& Poor's placed its rating on Pinnacle Foods Group LLC, including
its 'B-' corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with positive
implications.  "We placed the ratings on CreditWatch positive when
Pinnacle Foods announced an agreement to acquire Birds Eye Foods,
Inc., in a transaction valued at $1.3 billion," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Christopher Johnson.  "We believe that the
acquisition will likely be leverage neutral."  S&P estimates that
pro forma debt to EBITDA, excluding any EBITDA synergies, would be
about 7.8x compared with a ratio of about 7.7x for the 12 months
ended Sept. 30, 2009, and that potential synergies from the
combination could result in reduced leverage following the close
of the transaction.

Based in Mt. Lakes, N.J., Pinnacle Foods Group LLC manufactures,
markets and distributes branded food products.  It was formerly
referred as Pinnacle Foods Group, Inc., prior to April 2, 2007.

PRECISION DRILLING: Incorporation Won't Move Moody's 'Ba2' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that the now completed conversion
of Precision Drilling Trust to a corporation will not have any
impact on Precision Drilling Corporation's ratings (Ba2 Corporate
Family Rating and stable outlook).

The last rating action on Precision was on December 14, 2009, when
the company's ratings outlook was changed to stable from negative.

Based in Calgary, Alberta, Precision Drilling Corporation is
engaged in onshore drilling and providing well completion and
production services to upstream oil and gas companies in North
America.


PRECISION DRILLING: S&P Assigns 'BB' Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'BB' long-
term corporate credit rating to Calgary, Alta.-based Precision
Drilling Corp.  The outlook is stable.  At the same time, Standard
& Poor's withdrew its 'BB' long-term corporate credit rating on
Precision Drilling Trust following the trust's conversion to a
corporate structure.  The 'BBB-' issue-level rating on Precision's
senior secured debt and 'BB' rating on Precision's senior
unsecured debt, as well as the '1' and '3' recovery ratings on the
respective debt, are unchanged.

"S&P does not expect Precision's conversion back to a corporate
structure to weaken its current credit profile, as the conversion
should not affect the company's operating strategy," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Michelle Dathorne.  "S&P also believes key
components of the company's financial risk profile, specifically
its risk tolerance and financial policies, will continue to
emphasize a moderate capital structure.  Precision has reduced
debt significantly in 2009 and year-to-date 2010, despite the weak
business environment for oilfield service companies," Ms.
Dathorne added.

The ratings on Precision reflect Standard & Poor's opinion of the
company's participation in the cyclical and highly volatile
oilfield services sector, the diminished cash flow generation
profile associated with the current weak outlook for natural gas
exploration and production, and the company's levered capital
structure.  S&P believes that offsetting these factors, which
hamper Precision's overall credit profile, are its good cost
management, the size and expanded geographic diversification of
its drilling and service rig fleet, and the large number of rigs
with deep drilling capabilities in the U.S. and Western Canada's
Sedimentary Basin  markets.

Precision operates in North America's principal oil and gas
basins, especially the WCSB.  The company also has land rigs
positioned in several high-growth markets in the U.S. With 351
drilling and 200 service rigs, and 20 snubbing units, it now has
one of North America's largest land drilling rig fleets.

The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectations that
Precision will meet its capital spending and financial obligations
during S&P's 12-month forecast period without compromising its
financial risk profile.  The ratings and outlook incorporate a pro
forma capital structure based on the company's actual capital
structure at the time of S&P's 2009 review, with adjustments for
expected 2010 operating performance.  Despite the oilfield
services downturn, which S&P expect will continue to affect
operating performance in 2010, S&P believes Precision should
maintain a fairly stable to moderately improved financial risk
profile.  If the company can improve its leverage and cash flow
protection measures further, maintaining funds from operations-to-
debt to at least 40% and debt-to-EBITDA of 2x or less, a positive
rating action could occur.  As S&P believes there is limited
potential for further industry deterioration, a negative rating
action during S&P's forecast period appears unlikely.


PRIME GROUP: Terminates Registration of 9% Series B Preferreds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Prime Group Realty Trust filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 27, 2010, a Form 15 to terminate the
registration of its 9% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares, par value $0.01 per share.

Exchange on May 27, 2010, with the last day of trading being May
26, 2010.

The Company suspended reporting obligations under Section 13(a) of

disclosures and its obligations under the Agreement and Plan of
Merger relating to the July 2005 acquisition and delisting of its
common shares, pursuant to which the Company agreed to voluntarily
file reports under the Exchange Act for five years after the
closing of the Acquisition.  Upon filing Forms 25 and 15 with the
SEC, the Company became a voluntary filer of its reports under the
Exchange Act through June 30, 2010 in accordance with its
obligations under the Merger Agreement.  After the voluntarily
delisting of the Series B Preferred Shares from the NYSE, trading
of the Series B Preferred Shares would be reported on the Pink
Sheets with Pink OTC Markets Inc.  The Company's new ticker symbol
would be PMGEP.  The Company's Board of Trustees has approved the
delisting from the NYSE and deregistration of the Series B
Preferred Shares under the Exchange Act to save significant costs
associated with compliance with these regulatory provisions.

SAIGON NATIONAL: Continues to Miss Dividend Payments to Treasury
----------------------------------------------------------------
Meena Thiruvengadam at The Wall Street Journal reports that Saigon
National Bank, a Westminster, California-based community bank
missed a sixth quarterly dividend payment due to the U.S. in May.
Saigon National Bank focused on making loans to the area's
Vietnamese business community.  The Journal says the bank hasn't
paid any dividends since obtaining $1.55 million in taxpayer funds
in December 2008.

"We can't pay a dividend without OCC approval, and they haven't
approved payment of the dividend," Saigon's Chief Financial
Officer Roy Painter said, referring to the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates the bank, according
to the Journal.

The Journal notes the missed payments triggers the Treasury's
right to appoint two directors to a bank's board.  The Treasury
still is considering its options, David Miller, chief investment
officer for the Treasury's Office of Financial Stability, told
lawmakers last month, according to the Journal.


ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT: Luxury Cars, Yachts Bring $5.8MM at Auction
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel Feintzeig at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports
that Thursday's auction for Scott Rothstein's luxury vehicles and
yachts brought in $5.8 million, including the $2.51 million price
tag for an 87-foot yacht named "Princess Kimberly" in honor of
Rothstein's wife.  One rare car, a 2008 Bugatti Veyron, sold for
$858,000, while a 2010 Lamborghini was purchased for $382,000.
The latter car was still a steal, according to figures from Car
and Buyer, which estimated it cost $457,500 new, according to the
South Florida Business Journal, Ms. Feintzeig.

Mr. Rothstein has pleaded guilty to felony charges as wire fraud
and racketeering.  He is slated to be sentenced June 9.

                       About Scott Rothstein

Scott Rothstein, co-founder of law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler
PA, has been suspected of running a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
U.S. authorities claimed in a civil forfeiture lawsuit filed
November 9, 2009, that Mr. Rothstein, the firm's former chief
executive officer, sold investments in non-existent legal
settlements.  Mr. Rothstein pleaded guilty to five counts of
conspiracy and wire fraud on January 27, 2010.

Creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler signed a petition sending
the Florida law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who says she
lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran Development,
Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and trade
creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm, which
said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors alleged being owed money
invested in lawsuit settlements.

Herbert M. Stettin, the state-court appointed receiver for
Rothstein Rosenfeldt, was officially carried over as the Chapter
11 trustee in the involuntary bankruptcy case.


SAINT VINCENTS: Insists on Terms of Kramer Levin Retention
----------------------------------------------------------
St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers and its units aver that the
compensation structure outlined in their retention application --
including, specifically, the retainer to be provided to Kramer
Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP -- is well within the range of
reasonableness and should be approved.

The Debtors are hiring Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP as
their counsel nunc pro tunc to April 14, 2010.

The Debtors propose to pay Kramer Levin based on the firm's
current hourly rates.  At present, the rates of Kramer Levin
professionals are:

  Title                     Rate/Hour
  -----                     ---------
  Partners                  $645-$975
  Counsel                   $685-$1,025
  Special counsel           $630-$720
  Associates                $390-$710
  Legal Assistants          $240-$290

The Debtors will also reimburse Kramer Levin for out-of-pocket
expenses.

In recognition of the important mission of the Debtors, Kramer
Levin has agreed to discount its fees by 10% in connection with
its representation of the Debtors.

The Debtors assert that contrary to the insinuations of the U.S.
Trustee, the terms of the retainer was clearly delineated in the
Retention Application and no effort was made to disguise the
Retainers from the Court, the U.S. Trustee, or the Debtors'
creditors.

The Debtors ask the Court to overrule the U.S. Trustee's objection
because:

  (i) retainers are an appropriate and well-recognized form of
      compensation for professionals in chapter 11 cases, and
      retainers of this nature have been approved in other cases
      in this jurisdiction and others;

(ii) Kramer Levin will be prejudiced if the structure of the
      Retainers is altered after the Carve-Out and Budget
      negotiated in connection with the Debtors' post-petition
      financing have already been finalized;

(iii) the purpose of the retainer will be undermined, if not
      entirely vitiated, if Kramer Levin is required to apply
      the retainer at the outset of the Debtors' bankruptcy
      cases;

(iv) neither the DIP Lenders, the Official Committee of
      Unsecured Creditors, nor any other creditors have objected
      to the retainers; and

  (v) to the extent applicable, the relevant factors that courts
      consider in approving "evergreen" retainers are satisfied.

         About Saint Vincents Catholic Medical Centers

St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers returned to bankruptcy court
by filing another Chapter 11 petition April 14, 2010, in New York
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-11963).  The new petition listed
assets of $348 million against debt totaling $1.09 billion.

Adam C. Rogoff, Esq., and Kenneth H. Eckstein, Esq., at Kramer
Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, represent the Debtor in its Chapter
11 effort.

Although the hospitals emerged from the prior reorganization in
July 2007 with a Chapter 11 plan said to have a "a realistic
chance" of paying all creditors in full, the bankruptcy left the
medical center with more than $1 billion in debt.  The new filing
occurred after a $64 million operating loss in 2009 and the last
potential buyer terminated discussions for taking over the
flagship hospital.

Saint Vincents Catholic Medical Centers -- http://www.svcmc.org/-
- is anchored by St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan, an academic
medical center located in Greenwich Village and the only emergency
room on the Westside of Manhattan from Midtown to Tribeca, St.
Vincent's Westchester, a behavioral health hospital in Westchester
County, and continuing care services that include two skilled
nursing facilities in Brooklyn, another on Staten Island, a
hospice, and a home health agency serving the Metropolitan New
York area.

Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers of New York and six of its
affiliates first filed for Chapter 11 protection on July 5, 2005
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 05-14945 through 05-14951).


SAINT VINCENTS: Refutes U.S. Trustee Objection to Shattuck
----------------------------------------------------------
St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers and its units ask the Court
to overrule the objection of the U.S. Trustee and Sun Life
Assurance Company of Canada

The Debtors assert that the fees proposed to be paid to  Shattuck
Hammond Partners is in keeping with fees paid to similar
professionals in other cases in the District of Delaware.
Moreover, the Debtors maintain, Shattuck Hammond has made material
concessions to address the concerns raised by limiting the fees on
the Co-Brokered Assets.

The Debtors relate that they have worked with the U.S. Trustee and
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to consensually
resolve many of the issues that the parties brought to the
Debtors' attention outside the context of a formal objection.

The Debtors assert that, based on certain modifications to the
Retention Application, the fees to be paid to Cain Brothers is
reasonable and should be approved pursuant to Section 328(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors seek the Court's authority to retain Shattuck Hammonds
Partners as their brokers nunc pro tunc to April 14, 2010.
Pursuant to Engagement Letters, Shattuck will be compensated on
these terms:

  (a) Home Health Transaction:

         -- a fixed monthly payment of $10,000 for the first six
            months following execution of the relevant
            Engagement Letter, and $5,000 thereafter.

         -- Upon the execution of a letter of intent or a
            decision by the Debtors to enter into exclusive
            negotiations with a prospective purchaser, Shattuck
            will receive a payment of $50,000.

         -- Upon the delivery of a Home Health Fairness Opinion,
            Shattuck will receive a payment of $75,000.

         -- Upon the consummation of a Home Health Sale,
            Shattuck will receive a transaction fee equal to
            1.0% of the Aggregate Consideration, less any
            amounts paid to Shattuck in Home Health Monthly Fees
            or Home Health Success Fees; provided, however, that
            the minimum Home Health Transaction Fee paid to
            Shattuck will be $350,000.  The Home Health
            Transaction Fee is contingent on the closing of a
            Home Health Sale and will be paid by the Debtors on
            the closing date.

  (b) St. Vincent's Westchester Transaction:

         -- a fixed monthly payment of $10,000 for the first six
            months following execution of the relevant
            Engagement Letter, and $5,000 thereafter.

         -- Upon the execution of a letter of intent or a
            decision by the Medical Center to enter into
            exclusive negotiations with a prospective purchaser,
            Shattuck will receive a payment of $50,000.

         -- Upon the delivery of a St. Vincent's Westchester
            Fairness Opinion, Shattuck will receive a payment of
            $100,000.

         -- Upon the consummation of a St. Vincent's Westchester
            Sale, Shattuck will receive a transaction fee equal
            to 1.0% of the Aggregate Consideration, less any
            amounts paid to Shattuck in St. Vincent's
            Westchester Monthly Fees or St. Vincent's
            Westchester Success Fees; provided, however, that
            the maximum amount credited against the St.
            Vincent's Westchester Transaction Fee will be
            $50,000.  In the event a St. Vincent's Westchester
            Sale consummated with Catholic Health Services of
            Long Island, the St. Vincent's Westchester
            Transaction Fee will equal 0.75% of the Aggregate
            Consideration; provided further, however, the
            minimum St. Vincent's Westchester Transaction Fee
            paid to Shattuck will be $350,000.  The St.
            Vincent's Westchester Transaction Fee is contingent
            on the closing of a St. Vincent's Westchester Sale
            and will be paid by the Debtors on the closing date.

In the event there is a packaged transaction involving St.
Vincent's Westchester or Home Health Operations, the buyer in that
transaction will be required to allocate its purchase price among
each of the businesses being purchased, and both Cain Brothers and
Shattuck will each receive 1% of the aggregate total value
attributed to St. Vincent's Westchester or Home Health
Operations; provided, however, that with respect to St. Vincent's
Westchester, that percentage will be reduced to 0.75% in the event
that the packaged transaction is consummated with
Catholic Health Services of Long Island; provided further, however
that the minimum transaction fee per non-Hospital business shall
be $350,000.

The Debtors have also agreed to reimburse Shattuck for its
reasonable ordinary travel and transportation costs and other
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

In connection with the Home Health Transaction, the Expense
Reimbursement is limited to the lesser of $3,000 per month or
$35,000 in total.  In connection with the St. Vincent's
Westchester Transaction, the Expense Reimbursement is limited to
the lesser of $5,000 per month or $50,000 in total.

                  M. Toney Supports Application

Mark E. Toney, national managing principal of the Corporate
Advisory and Restructuring Services practice of Grant Thornton LLP
and chief restructuring officer of the Debtors, maintains that the
retention Shattuck Hammond is appropriate because:

  (i) its participation in the sales of non-Hospital businesses
      is critical to ensuring the numerous overlapping sales
      processes are accomplished expeditiously; and

(ii) the co-broker structure promotes cooperation, efficiency
      and enables Cain Brother to focus on its particular area
      of expertise and responsibility.

                J. Beck Supplements Declaration

Joseph G. Beck, managing director of Shattuck Hammond Partners,
relates that the Office of the U.S. Trustee for Region 2 has asked
his firm whether it has any connections with Judge Cecelia G.
Morris of the U.S. bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York.

Mr. Barry maintains that based upon his review, it appears that
Cain Brothers does not hold or represent any interests that is
adverse to the Debtors' estates, is a "disinterested person" as
that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers returned to bankruptcy court
by filing another Chapter 11 petition April 14, 2010, in New York
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-11963).  The new petition listed
assets of $348 million against debt totaling $1.09 billion.

Although the hospitals emerged from the prior reorganization in
July 2007 with a Chapter 11 plan said to have a "a realistic
chance" of paying all creditors in full, the bankruptcy left the
medical center with more than $1 billion in debt.  The new filing
occurred after a $64 million operating loss in 2009 and the last
potential buyer terminated discussions for taking over the
flagship hospital.

SAINT VINCENTS: Wants U.S. Trustee Objection to Cain Overruled
--------------------------------------------------------------
St. Vincents Catholic Medical Centers and its units seek the
Court's authority to employ Cain Brothers & Company, LLC, as their
investment banker nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Debtors propose to pay Cain
Brothers:

  (a) A monthly fee of $50,000 during the term of the
      Engagement Letter, but in no event for no fewer than six
      month after the initial month.

  (b) If a Transaction is consummated for one or more of the
      Non-Hospital Businesses, Cain Brothers will receive in
      cash, upon that consummation of the transaction, 2.0%
      percent of the aggregate transaction value of the
      Transaction; provided, however, that the minimum
      Transaction Fee per Transaction will be $350,000 per each
      Non-Hospital Business sold; provided further, though, that
      the minimum Transaction Fee for the Debtors' interest in
      the Cancer Center and QIL will not exceed 5.0% of the ATV.

  (c) With respect to a Transaction Fee for a Transaction for
      the Co-Brokered Assets, the Transaction Fee will be as
      1.0% of the ATV of the Transaction, except with respect to
      a Transaction for St. Vincent's Westchester that is
      consummated with Catholic Health Services of Long Island,
      in which case the Transaction Fee will be reduced to
      0.75%; provided, however, that the minimum Transaction Fee
      per Non-Hospital Business will be $350,000.

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Debtors have agreed to
reimburse Cain Brothers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including any expenses arising from being requested or required to
testify in any legal or regulatory proceeding.

The Engagement Letter contains an indemnity provision that is
customary in scope.  The Indemnification Provision makes clear
that no indemnification is available for claims related to willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Cain Brothers.

The Debtors ask the Court to overrule the objection of the U.S.
Trustee to the Application.  The Debtors assert that the fees
proposed to be paid to Cain Brothers & Company, LLC, are in
keeping with fees paid to similar professionals in other cases in
the District of Delaware.  Moreover, the Debtors maintain, Cain
Brothers has made material concessions to address the concerns
raised by limiting the fees on the Co-Brokered Assets.

The Debtors relate that they have worked with the U.S. Trustee and
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to consensually
resolve many of the issues that the parties brought to the
Debtors' attention outside the context of a formal objection.  The
Debtors note that, based on certain modifications to the Retention
Application, the fees to be paid to Cain Brothers is reasonable
and should be approved pursuant to Section 328(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

                  M. Toney Supports Application

Mark E. Toney, national managing principal of the Corporate
Advisory and Restructuring Services practice of Grant Thornton LLP
and chief restructuring officer of the Debtors, maintains that the
retention Cain Brother as the Debtors' investment bankers is
appropriate because:

  (i) its participation in the sales of non-Hospital businesses
      is critical to ensuring the numerous overlapping sales
      processes are accomplished expeditiously; and

(ii) the co-broker structure promotes cooperation, efficiency
      and enables Cain Brother to focus on its particular area
      of expertise and responsibility.

SOUTH BAY: General Claims Bar Date Set for July 20
--------------------------------------------------
South Bay Expressway, L.P., and California Transportation
Ventures, Inc., sought and obtained a bar date order:

  (a) approving the manner for filing proofs of claim and the
      claim form;

  (b) approving the form and manner of the bar date notice and
      publication notice;

  (c) requiring that claimants asserting claims under section
      503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code must do so pursuant to
      and in accordance with the proposed procedures, and in no
      other manner;

  (d) authorizing the Debtors, in their discretion, to extend
      the Bar Date for certain claimants by stipulation where
      the Debtors determine that the extension is in the best
      interests of their bankruptcy estates; and

  (f) establishing these bar dates:

      -- General Bar Date: July 20, 2010;

      -- Governmental Bar Date: September 20, 2010;

      -- Amended Schedule Bar Date: to the extent applicable,
         the later of:

         * the Bar Date; and

         * 30 days from the date on which the Debtors provided
           notice of the amendment to the Schedules or another
           time period as may be fixed by the Court; and

      -- Rejection Bar Date: the later of:

         * the Bar Date; and

         * the date set forth in the Rejection Order, provided
           that if no date is provided in the Rejection Order,
           then the Rejection Bar Date will be no later than 30
           days from the date of entry of the Rejection Order.

The Debtors anticipate that there may be hundreds of potential
claimants in their cases and are anxious to begin focusing on the
claims reconciliation process, relates Alexander Pilmer, Esq., at
Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in Los Angeles, California.

Because the Debtors intend to implement a streamlined financial
restructuring and exit Chapter 11 as soon as possible, Mr. Pilmer
asserts that it is important that the Debtors immediately begin
the claims analysis and reconciliation process.

The Debtors believe that clearly established procedures for the
filing of claims against them will limit confusion on the part of
creditors and result in an efficient claims process.  Creditors
will be permitted to rely on the Schedules as part of the Debtors'
proposed process.  To that end, Mr. Pilmer says, the Debtors
intend to send personalized proofs of claim to known creditors
that provide information about how a particular creditor's claim
is listed in the Schedules.  If a creditor agrees with the
treatment of its claim in the Schedules, the creditor is not
required to file a proof of claim.

While negotiations regarding the Debtors' exit from Chapter 11 are
ongoing, Mr. Pilmer contends that the Debtors and their
stakeholders require complete and accurate information regarding
the nature, amount, and status of asserted claims.  Since the
precise nature and scope of asserted claims will only be clearly
established after a claims bar date has been set and passes, the
Debtors believe their request is critical to their ultimate exit
from Chapter 11.

The Debtors propose that certain requirements apply with respect
to filing and preparing each proof of claim, including claim
amounts denominated in United States dollars and the value of
goods purportedly received by the Debtors for claims under Section
503(b)(9).

The Debtors further propose, among other things, that these
categories of claimants will not be required to file a proof of
claim by the Bar Date:

  -- any person or entity that already has filed a signed proof
     of claim against the applicable Debtors with the Clerk of
     Court in a form substantially similar to Official Form
     No. 10;

  -- any person or entity whose claim is listed on the
     Schedules, but only if:

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

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

     * the claimant does not dispute that the claim is an
       obligation of the specific Debtor as set forth in the
       Schedules;

  -- customers with claims solely on account of deposits on
     pre-paid tolls;

  -- a holder of a claim that has previously been allowed by a
     Court order;

  -- a holder of a claim that has been paid in full by the
     Debtors or any other party;

  -- a holder of a claim for which a specific deadline
     previously has been fixed by the Court;

  -- any Debtor having a claim against another Debtor;

  -- a current employee of the Debtors, if an order of the Court
     authorized the Debtors to honor that claim in the ordinary
     course of business as a wage, commission or benefit,
     provided that a current employee must submit a proof of
     claim by the Bar Date for all other claims arising before
     the Petition Date, including claims for wrongful
     termination, discrimination, harassment, hostile work
     environment, retaliation and claims covered by the Debtors'
     workers' compensation insurance; and

  -- any claims allowable under Sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1) of
     the Bankruptcy Code as administrative expenses of the
     Debtors' bankruptcy estates, with the exception of
     Section 503(b)(9) Claims, which must be filed on or before
     the Bar Date.

Any holder of an equity interest in the Debtors need not file a
proof of the interest, provided that if any interest holder
asserts a claim against the Debtors, including a claim relating to
an equity interest or the purchase or sale of equity interest, a
proof of claim must be filed on or before the Bar Date.

The Debtors will give notice of the Bar Date by publication to
creditors to whom notice by mail is impracticable, including
creditors who are unknown or not reasonably ascertainable by the
Debtors and creditors whose identities are known but whose
addresses are unknown.  Specifically, the Debtors will publish the
Bar Date Notice on one occasion in the regional newspapers (i) The
San Diego Daily Transcript, of San Diego, California, and (ii) The
Post-Press of El Centro, of California, on or before June 22,
2010.

SOUTH BAY: Proposes to Compensate Insiders
------------------------------------------
Through a notice of intended action, South Bay Expressway, L.P.,
and California Transportation Ventures, Inc., seek the Court's
authority to compensate five insiders on a final basis, nunc pro
tunc to March 22, 2010, and to waive requirements of Rule 4002-
2(b)(2) of the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of California.

The Notice of Intended Action will expire on June 21, 2010.

In support of their request, the Debtors file an accompanying
memorandum of points and authorities and a declaration by Anthony
G. Evans.

The Debtors previously sought and obtained authority, on an
interim basis, to pay compensation and provide certain benefits to
four SBX insiders: Greg Hulsizer, Anthony G. Evans, Theresa Weekes
and Shane Savgur.

Alexander Pilmer, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in Los Angeles,
California, asserts that in their request, the Debtors do not seek
authority to pay any amounts on account of bonus, retention, or
severance payments.

To the extent the Debtors seek to pay any of those amounts, the
Debtors say they will file a separate motion to seek that relief.
Accordingly, the Debtors do not believe that Section 503(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code is implicated in any way in respect of the relief
sought in their request.

Subsequent to the entry of the Interim Insider Compensation Order,
the Debtors filed their Schedules and Statements and the Schedules
and Statements Amendments.  In the process of preparing the
Amendments, the Debtors realized that Lester David Hawley, an
independent consultant, who serves as the Executive Vice President
of Construction for the Debtors, had not previously been
identified as an insider of the Debtors.  Out of an abundance of
caution, because Mr. Hawley is an officer of the Debtors, they
included all payments to him in the Amendments.

While the Debtors do not believe that he is a "person in control
of" the Debtors, the Debtors note that Mr. Hawley may nonetheless
be an "insider" under Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code and,
thus, they included him in the relief requested, they explained.

Mr. Pilmer contends that the five Insiders are vital to the
reorganization efforts of the Debtors, and that compensation of
the Insiders in the ordinary course of business is necessary for
the efficient administration of the Chapter 11 cases.  He notes
that indeed, no party objected to the relief provided in the
Interim Compensation Order.  He assures the Court that the
requested compensation is entirely consistent with the
compensation that is generally available for persons holding the
same or similar experience and qualifications as the Insiders.

Accordingly, the Debtors seek approval of their request on a final
basis.

In another motion, the Debtors seek entry of an ex parte order,
(i) extending authority granted under the Interim Insider
Compensation Order to compensate the Debtors' senior management on
an interim basis pending the expiration of the notice period for
the Notice of Intended Action, and (b) waiving the requirements of
Local Bankruptcy Rule 4002-2(b)(2).

The sought payments are for:

SOUTH BAY: Wants Plan Exclusivity Until November 17
---------------------------------------------------
South Bay Expressway, L.P., and California Transportation
Ventures, Inc., ask the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of California to extend to:

  (a) November 17, 2010, their exclusive right to file a
      Chapter 11 plan of reorganization; and

  (b) January 16, 2011, their exclusive right to solicit votes
      for that plan, without prejudice to the Debtors' right to
      request further extensions of the Exclusive Periods as the
      circumstances may require.

Pursuant to Section 1121(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor has
the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization for a period
of 120 days after the Petition Date.  If a debtor files a plan
within that 120-day exclusivity period, Section 1121(c)(3)
provides 60 additional days during which the debtor has exclusive
right to solicit votes with respect to that Plan.

The period during which only the Debtors may file a Plan will
expire on July 19, 2010, and the period during which only the
Debtors' Plan may be considered for acceptance or rejection will
expire on September 18, 2010.

During the first 66 days of their bankruptcy, the Debtors have
focused their efforts on driving the reorganization process toward
the goal of negotiating a consensual plan of reorganization that
maximizes the value of the Debtors' estates, relates R. Alexander
Pilmer, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in Los Angeles, California.

While the Debtors are optimistic and confident that significant
progress will be made in the upcoming weeks -- indeed, the Court
will hear the Debtors' motion for summary judgment in the lien
priority adversary proceeding on July 1, 2010, and a settlement
conference is currently scheduled for June 11 -- the Debtors are
filing the extension request at this time in light of the notice
period required for those motions by the Local Bankruptcy Rules
and the expiration of the Exclusive Periods, Mr. Pilmer asserts.
He notes that the Debtors will supplement the request to update
the Court as to the status of matters pending in the cases.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have worked to transition
their operations into Chapter 11 by obtaining various first day
relief, including authority to honor the prepetition accounts of
the Debtors' more than 30,000 customers, authority to pay wages
and benefits in the ordinary course, and continued access to cash
collateral, Mr. Pilmer relates.  He adds that the Debtors also
have begun to explore various alternatives to restructure the
approximately $530 million in secured debt on their balance sheet.
To that end, the Debtors already have engaged their secured
lenders in preliminary discussions regarding a framework for a
consensual restructuring.

Despite the Debtors' efforts to move the reorganization process
along as quickly as possible, the earliest that the Debtors will
have for resolution of the lien priority dispute is July 1, and it
is possible that the resolution may not come until the conclusion
of the trial scheduled to begin on October 25, 2010, Mr. Pilmer
asserts.  Thus, he points out, an extension of the Exclusive
Periods makes practical sense under the circumstances.

Absent an extension, Mr. Pilmer contends, the Exclusive Periods
will expire before the lien priority dispute -- the gating issue
in the bankruptcy cases -- has been resolved and before the
Debtors have had a meaningful opportunity to develop a consensual
plan.  He insists that those circumstances would present a risk of
undue interference and disruption to the plan formulation and
negotiation process.

In his declaration supporting the request, the Debtors' chief
financial officer, Anthony G. Evans, tells the Court that the
Debtors are not seeking an extension of the Exclusive Periods to
pressure creditors.  To the contrary, he asserts, the requested
extension is intended to provide the Debtors with sufficient time
to obtain resolution of the lien priority dispute and to develop a
consensual plan, without the disruption and distraction of
competing plans.

The Court will convene a hearing on July 1, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. to
consider the Debtors' request.

SOUTHEAST BANKING: Plan Effective Deadline Extended until July 31
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Paul G. Hyman of the the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Florida extended until July 31, 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

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.

TAYLOR BEAN: Freddie Mac Doesn't Want Panel in Lloyds' Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports
that Freddie Mac is urging the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Jacksonville, Fla., to deny a request by the official committee of
unsecured creditors in Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.'s
case that would allow the panel to defend Taylor Bean in a lawsuit
brought by specialty insurance market Lloyd's of London.

Lloyd's and its insurance underwriters accuse Taylor Bean of
misrepresenting certain bonds in which the mortgage lender and
have Freddie Mac, and that such misrepresentations may render the
bonds void.

According to Ms. Palank, the committee has said its interests and
those of Taylor Bean's bankruptcy estate "would best be served" if
it were able to defend this lawsuit.  The committee added that
Taylor Bean consented to its request.

Ms. Palank reports Freddie Mac argues that Taylor Bean -- and not
the committee -- is best equipped to defend itself in the suit.

"The Lloyd's action is a significant matter, is material to the
debtor's reorganization and the prospect for recovery by its
creditors, and should be handled in the manner that is most likely
to achieve a favorable outcome," Freddie Mac said Wednesday in
court papers, according to Ms. Palank.  "Neither the committee,
nor its counsel, is in the best position to defend the Lloyd's
action."

According to Ms. Palank, Freddie Mac said the committee's request
to step into Taylor Bean's shoes is not only "vague and
unsupported" but may serve to jeopardize the Debtor's bankruptcy
estate.  The committee and Taylor Bean each have different goals
and concerns that may not align, Freddie Mac warned, Ms. Palank
notes.

Taylor Bean is required to foot the committee's legal bills,
Freddie Mac added, Ms. Palank says.

TIERONE BANK: Closed; Great Western Bank Assumes All Deposits
-------------------------------------------------------------
TierOne Bank of Lincoln, Neb., was closed on June 4, 2010, by the
Office of Thrift Supervision, which appointed the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation as receiver.  To protect the depositors, the
FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Great
Western Bank of Sioux Falls, S.D., to assume all of the deposits
of TierOne Bank.

The 69 branches of TierOne Bank will reopen during normal business
hours as branches of Great Western Bank.  Depositors of TierOne
Bank will automatically become depositors of Great Western Bank.
Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no
need for customers to change their banking relationship to retain
their deposit insurance coverage.  Customers of TierOne Bank
should continue to use their existing branch until they receive
notice from Great Western Bank that it has completed systems
changes to allow other Great Western Bank branches to process
their accounts as well.

As of March 31, 2010, TierOne Bank had around $2.8 billion in
total assets and $2.2 billion in total deposits.  Great Western
Bank will pay the FDIC a premium of 1.5 percent to assume all of
the deposits of TierOne Bank.  In addition to assuming all of the
deposits of the failed bank, Great Western Bank agreed to purchase
essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Great Western Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction on $1.9 billion of TierOne Bank's assets.  Great
Western Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered
under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-share transaction is
projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping
them in the private sector.  The transaction also is expected to
minimize disruptions for loan customers.  For more information on
loss share, please visit:

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-830-4732.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at

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

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $297.8 million.  Great Western Bank's acquisition of all
the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to all alternatives.  TierOne Bank is the 81st FDIC-
insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first
in Nebraska.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the
state was Sherman County Bank, Loup City, on Feb. 13, 2009.

TRIBUNE CO: Asks for Oct. 29 Extension for Removal Period
---------------------------------------------------------
Tribune Co. and its units ask Judge Kevin J. Carey of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to extend the time
within which they may file notices of removal with respect to
claims and causes of action pending as of the Petition Date
through October 29, 2010.

The Debtors relate that since the Petition Date they have devoted
substantially all their resources to stabilizing and operating
their businesses, addressing critical case management issues,
evaluating and resolving the prepetition claims against them, and
formulating their plan of reorganization.  The Debtors assert
that given the size of their business enterprise and the
unusually large number of Debtors involved, transitioning their
businesses into smooth operations and meeting the ongoing
requirements of the Chapter 11 process have been a formidable
tasks.

The Debtors maintain that they have made progress in virtually
all facets of their Chapter 11 cases.  The Debtors have prepared
and filed their Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, and
anticipate commencing the solicitation process on the Plan in
short order.  The Debtors have also made substantial progress in
evaluating their prepetition claims, with 31 omnibus objections
having been filed with the Court.

As a result of these tasks and their attendant demands on the
Debtors' personnel and professionals, the Debtors require
additional time to review their outstanding litigation matters
and evaluate whether those matters should properly be removed
pursuant to Rule 9027 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure, says Kate J. Stickles, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel,
Forman & Leonard, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware.

Mr. Stickles adds that in the absence of that relief, the Debtors
would lose a potentially key element of their overall ability to
manage litigation during their Chapter 11 cases even before that
litigation would reasonably have been evaluated, to the detriment
of the Debtors, their estates, and their creditors.

TRIBUNE CO: Given by Court More Time to Resolve DS Objections
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware gave Tribune Company and its debtor
affiliates additional time to resolve outstanding objections to
the Disclosure Statement explaining the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization.  Judge Carey will "try to approve" the Disclosure
Statement "later in the week," according to a report by the
Chicago Tribune.

Judge Carey overruled the objections to the Disclosure Statement
except for those raised by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper
Guild and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as successor administrative
agent under a $1.6 billion Senior Unsecured Interim Loan
Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2007.

The Guild complained that the Debtors' description of the
transition management incentive plan and the key operators bonus
programs submitted as part of the Plan fails to provide
stakeholders with the information necessary to reach an "informed
judgment with regard to these aspects of the Plan.  The Guild
asserted that the inclusion of the incentive plans makes the
Debtors' Plan unconfirmable.  The Guild also asserted that the
Debtors should include the full record of litigation over the
incentive plans, including publicly-filed pleadings, transcripts
and exhibits, of the September 25, 2009 hearing.

Wells Fargo told the Court that notwithstanding discussions with
the Debtors' counsel that have been ongoing since May 24, 2010,
it was unable to reach agreement regarding a threshold issue --
the description of the treatment of the Bridge Lenders' Claims.

Wells Fargo asserted that:

  (a) the treatment set forth in the Current Plan is beyond
      ambiguous, it is essentially meaningless;

  (b) the discussion of the treatment in the Current Disclosure
      Statement is inconsistent with the treatment set forth in
      the Current Plan, and by the Debtors' admission, is not
      binding on anyone; and

  (c) the Current Plan and Disclosure Statement are misleading
      regarding the preservation of the Bridge Lenders' rights
      against non-Debtor third parties.

Wells Fargo averred that unless and until these issues are
properly resolved, the Current Disclosure Statement should not be
approved.

In a supplemental objection, Wells Fargo asserted that the Plan's
new proposed cram down treatment still lacks the necessary level
of specificity because it continues to provide for the
possibility that some alternative, undisclosed and unexplained
treatment of the Bridge Loan Lenders Claims is possible if the
Bankruptcy Court determines in connection with the confirmation
of the Plan that a different treatment is appropriate under the
requirements of Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Wells
Fargo averred that the Plan must specify exactly what treatment
Bridge Lenders that vote to reject the Current Plan should expect
in the event their class does not accept the Current Plan.

Wells Fargo maintained that:

  (a) the Current Plan still fails to provide specified cram
      down treatment of the Bridge Lenders' Claims;

  (b) the added potential cram down treatment is itself
      seriously flawed;

  (c) the Current Disclosure Statement description of the cram
      down treatment is insufficient;

  (d) the Current Plan and Current Disclosure Statement should
      include a fully mutual reservation of rights, or none at
      all;

  (e) the extent of the Non-Debtor Releases should be clarified;
      and

  (f) the Disclosure Statement should include disclosure about
      the 2010 MIP Motion.

The Debtors, according to a Court filing, are in discussions to
resolve the remaining outstanding issue and anticipate filing
further revised documents.

In response to Wells Fargo's objection, the Debtors contend that
the Disclosure Statement describes cram down treatment they
believe is legally sufficient and the likely recoveries and
material factors relevant to those recoveries by the Bridge
Lenders pursuant to that treatment.  The Debtors add that the
Disclosure Statement also makes clear that if the Court finds
some other cram down treatment is appropriate, the Plan may still
be confirmed and become effective without the need for re-
solicitation so long as the conditions to the Effective Date of
the Plan are met or waived.

The Debtors maintain that the Disclosure Statement is clear that,
in the event of cram down, the Bridge Loan Claims will likely be
subject to actions for avoidance, setoff, subordination and other
defenses, and that the Bridge Loan Claims will not be allowed
until those actions or defenses are resolved.

According to the Debtors, the Disclosure Statement makes clear
that the Senior Lenders' Claims are to be fully allowed pursuant
to the Plan and also that the holders of PHONES Notes Claims are
not receiving any value pursuant to the Plan in respect of the
PHONES Notes Claims.

The Debtors believe that the Disclosure Statement's existing
disclosure regarding the 2010 Management Incentive Plan is
adequate.  Judge Carey, however, agreed with Wells Fargo that the
language in the Disclosure Statement is confusing.

After approval of the Disclosure Statement, the Debtors can send
the Plan documents to creditors for solicitation of votes.  The
Court is expected to convene a hearing on August 16 to consider
confirmation of the Plan.

TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT: Icahn Drops Bid to Delay Chapter 11
--------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review says Carl Icahn is still
appealing his loss in a bankruptcy duel for control of Trump
Entertainment Resorts Inc. but on Wednesday dropped a bid to hold
the company up in Chapter 11, pending the outcome.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 20, 2010,
Mr. asked the Bankruptcy court to stay the implementation of the
Chapter 11 plan of Trump Entertainment Resorts pending his appeal
on the confirmation order.  According to Bloomberg News, Mr. Icahn
wants a hearing by May 21 on the request.

Bloomberg News said that Mr. Icahn argued that U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Judith H. Wizmur erred when she concluded that the
reorganized casinos can make payments on $350 million in secured
debt that will remain after bankruptcy.  Mr. Icahn believes the
Company won't have enough cash "to survive beyond a few months."
Mr. Icahn also believes the bankruptcy judge made a mistake in
picking the interest rate to be paid on secured debt after the
plan is implemented.

As reported by the TCR on April 13, 2010, Judge Wizmur a Chapter
11 plan for Trump that was backed by management and bondholders.
The judge rejected a competing plan filed by Mr. Icahn's Icahn
Partners.

Under the confirmed Plan, Avenue Capital Group served as the lead
bondholder throughout the reorganization process, and will become
the largest shareholder in the Company upon emergence.  The Plan
confirmed by the Court was also supported by Donald J. Trump and
his daughter, Ivanka Trump.  The Plan provides that $225 million
of new equity will be injected into the Company.  Additionally,
the Company will be able to retain the Trump brand for Atlantic
City operations.

Mr. Icahn already has an existing controlling stake in the
Tropicana Atlantic City Hotel & Casino, one of the Debtors'
largest competitors.

UAL CORP: Continental CEO Says Better Liquidity Prompted Merger
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the June 4, 2010 edition of "Jeff's Journal" in the Continental
Airlines intranet Web site, Jeffery A. Smisek, Continental
Airlines' Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer --
answering questions from Continental co-workers in New Orleans
about the proposed merger with UAL Corp.'s United Air Lines --
explained why the airlines had a different outcome on the merger
decision this time compared to two years ago, how pensions are
handled in a merger, and why the merger creates a better platform
for the careers of Continental co-workers.

Mr. Smisek explained, "when we looked at merging with United two
years ago, we were in a different world. The strategic fit of the
two carriers -- it's the same. It made sense then; it makes sense
now. But two years ago we were in a very different position in the
world: The economy was declining; fuel prices were skyrocketing;
the capital markets were closed. Neither carrier had a great deal
of liquidity, and the financial and operational performance were
different then as well.  If you fast forward to today, again, the
strategy makes sense.  But we've got the economy recovering, the
capital markets are open, our liquidity is better, their -- that
is, United's -- liquidity is better.  Both of our financial
performance is improving and their operational performance has
improved quite a bit.  So two years ago the risks outweighed the
rewards. Now the rewards far outweigh the risks."

Mr. Smisek also told a Continental co-worker, "the [current]
retirement plan . . . will stay in place and the lump sum that you
have will stay in place with respect to that retirement plan."  He
did cautioned that, "Going forward, some workgroups may want to
negotiate a different form of retirement plan.  That is, freeze
their current retirement plan and keep the benefits of their old
retirement plan and then, going forward, accrue new benefits under
a different retirement plan like a 401k.  But the retirement plan
that you've got, and the benefits that you've earned through the
date of the merger, or through the date that if you decide to
negotiate a different type of plan, those benefits will continue
and stay on and you get to keep them."

Mr. Smisek also said "since 9/11 we've been working hard -- you've
been working hard; I've been working hard; everybody's been
working hard -- to eke out a hand-to-mouth existence.  Whether
it's been H1N1, or SARS, or recession, or high fuel prices, or
volcanoes -- we're just sort of living hand-to-mouth here.  And
the merger gives us an opportunity to create a great airline that
will endure, that will provide job security, that will provide
retirement security, that will provide profitability, will help us
invest in our people and our products so we can stay competitive
and have a bright future going forward.  It's a really exciting
opportunity. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and now is the
right time to do it."

According to Continental's "Daily News Update" -- which is
circulated via e-mail to employees and other selected individuals
on June 4, 2010 -- Houston Mayor Annise Parker has formed a panel
of civic, business and educational leaders to advise the city of
Houston on the impact of the CO-UA merger.  Ms. Parker said the
city is ready to support CO, but that she wants to have all of the
needed information because the Houston area has much at stake in
the merger.  After meeting with Jeff on Friday, the mayor told
radio station KUHF that she and Jeff believe the number of jobs in
Houston will grow over time because of Houston's critical position
in the combined airline's system.

In a statement this week, Mr. Smisek said, "Continental looks
forward to working with the mayor's advisory panel, as Houstonians
will benefit from our merger with United Airlines.  After the
merger, Continental will continue to be among the top private
employers in Houston, and will continue to be a good corporate
citizen, as we have always been.  Our hub at Bush Intercontinental
Airport will be the largest hub in the world's most comprehensive
airline network and serve as the premier gateway to Latin America.
In fact, we expect net job gain in Houston over time through
growth at Bush Intercontinental as we expand our Houston service
as a result of the merger."

U.S. CONCRETE: Contested Plan Headed for Vote
---------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that U.S. Concrete Inc.
has received approval of the disclosure statement explaining its
proposed Chapter 11 plan.  The bankruptcy judge, anticipating that
the Plan will face staunch opposition from shareholders, scheduled
a three-day confirmation hearing to begin July 23 and continue on
July 28 and 29.

According to Bloomberg, the order formally approving the
disclosure statement will be signed when changes are made.
Creditors can begin voting when the disclosure statement is
formally approved.

The Plan reduces debt by $285 million through conversion of 8.325%
subordinated notes into the new equity.  Shareholders oppose the
plan because they contend the offer of warrants for 15% of the
stock is inadequate.

The bankruptcy judge scheduled an expedited hearing for June 18 to
consider a motion for the appointment of an official committee to
represent shareholders. Having an official committee would mean
the company, not individual shareholders, would pay the cost of
fighting plan confirmation.

U.S. CONCRETE: Equity Holders Want Official Committee
-----------------------------------------------------
A group of 20 individual holders of the common equity of U.S.
Concrete, Inc., filed a motion asking Judge Peter Walsh of the
Delaware bankruptcy court to appoint an official committee of
equity security holders in the chapter 11 cases of the company and
its affiliates, netDockets Blog reports.  The report relates that
the group of equity holders, which reportedly hold over 6.2% of
the outstanding common shares of U.S. Concrete, includes the
original founders of U.S. Concrete and "significant members of
prior management" of the company according to the motion.

According to netDockets, the motion is the latest in a line of
similar motions filed over the past year in the Delaware
bankruptcy court, which have been largely unsuccessful.

U.S. Concrete, the report discloses, filed revised versions of its
proposed disclosure statement and plan of reorganization with the
bankruptcy court, but the distributions to creditors and
shareholders do not appear to have been materially changed.  The
report relates that the structure of the distributions is based
upon a valuation of the reorganized U.S. Concrete from Lazard
Freres & Co., LLC, the company's financial advisors, which posits
a total enterprise value for the reorganized companies within a
range of $180 to $208 million with a mid-point estimate of
$194 million.  The equity holders challenge this valuation and the
methodolgies utilized by Lazard, the report adds.  Net Dockets
Blog says that to that end, they have retained Gordian Group, LLC
and assert that the reorganized companies' valuation could exceed
$450 million, which would provide significant value for existing
equityholders.

The report notes that among the chief complaints regarding
Lazard's valuation methodology, the equity holders challenge
Lazard's use of Comparable Company Analysis and Precedent
Transaction Analysis (which were weighted 40% and 20%,
respectively, in Lazard's valuation).  The report adds that they
assert that both analyses "may be unreliable" and only Discounted
Cash Flow analysis (which comprised the remaining 40% of Lazard's
valuation weighting) should have been used; and that the discount
rate (14.5-15.5%) used by Lazard in its DCF analysis is too high
and that a 10% discount rate is more appropriate and "logical for
a mundane business such as the concrete industry."

                        Prepackaged Plan

U.S. Concrete voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection to
effectuate a restructuring premised on the terms of a
Restructuring and Lock-Up Agreement that the company entered into
with an informal committee of its noteholders.  The terms of the
restructuring agreement provided for the payment in full of
secured and general unsecured claims, the exchange of noteholders'
claims for all of the new equity in the reorganized company, and a
new stock option plan for U.S. Concrete's management.  Existing
equity would be cancelled under the proposed restructuring plan
and existing equity holders would receive only warrants to acquire
up to 15% of the new equity in two tranches, the report says.

VALASSIS COMMS: Bank Debt Trades at 3% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Valassis
Communications, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market
at 96.75 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, June 4,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and
reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of
1.05 percentage points from the previous week, The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The bank loan matures on March 2, 2014, and
carries Moody's Ba1 rating and Standard & Poor's BB+ rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 186 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 6, 2010,
Standard & Poor's raised its corporate credit and issue-level
ratings on Valassis Communications, Inc.  S&P raised the corporate
credit rating to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The ratings were removed from
CreditWatch, where they were placed with positive implications
Feb. 1, 2010.  The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P revised its recovery rating on the company's
senior secured credit facility, comprising a $50 million revolving
line of credit due 2012, a $354 million term loan B due 2014, and
a $117 million delayed draw term loan due 2014.  S&P revised the
recovery rating to '1', indicating its expectation of very high
(90% to 100%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default, from '2'.  The issue-level rating was raised to 'BB+'
(two notches higher than the 'BB-' corporate credit rating) from
'BB-', in accordance with S&P's notching criteria for a '1'
recovery rating.

S&P also revised its recovery rating on the company's 8.25% senior
notes due 2015 to '4', indicating its expectation of average (30%
to 50%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment
default, from '6'.  The issue-level rating was raised to 'BB-'
(the same level as the 'BB-' corporate credit rating) from 'B-',
in accordance with S&P's notching criteria for a '4' recovery
rating.

The change in recovery ratings reflects the amendment to Valassis'
credit agreement, which reduces the company's revolving credit
commitment and allows for the use of legal settlement proceeds to
repurchase a portion of outstanding senior unsecured debt.

Valassis Communications, Inc., offers a wide range of promotional
and advertising products including shared (direct) mail (about 57%
of FY 2009 revenue), free-standing inserts (16%), neighborhood

VITOIL-SCOTTISH: Hearing on Trustee Appointment Set for June 22
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
will consider at a hearing on June 22, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., the
motions to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee; and to dismiss or convert
Vitoil-Scottish, LLC's Chapter 11 case.  The hearing will be held
at Courtroom 303, 21041 Burbank Blvd, Woodland Hills, California.
Objections, if any, are due 14 days before the designated hearing.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 16 sought for the dismissal or
conversion of the Debtor's Chapter 11 case to one under Chapter 7
of the Bankruptcy Code.

The U.S. Trustee explained that, among other things:

   a) there is substantial or continuing loss to or diminution of
      the estate and the absence of a reasonable likelihood of
      rehabilitation;

   b) the Debtor mismanaged the estate;

   c) the Debtor failed to maintain appropriate insurance that
      poses a risk to the estate or to the public.

In a separate filing, creditor US Bank National Association asked
the Court to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee in the case of the
Debtor because the Debtor mismanage the two-phase, 168-unit
condominium project known as Venetian Terraces.  The creditor said
that the appointed trustee must take control of the project which
is now a complete standstill, and any remaining value is in
imminent risk of being lost.

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Judge Delays Ruling on Disclosure Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary Walrath has delayed ruling on the
adequacy of the information in the disclosure statement explaining
the Chapter 11 plan of Washington Mutual Inc.  According to Bill
Rochelle at Bloomberg News, the delay resulted from shareholders'
opposition to the global settlement grafted onto WaMu's proposed
Chapter 11 plan.  The equity committee sought documents from WaMu
reflecting the Company's opinion of the strength of the claims
being given up in the settlement. WaMu refused to turn over
documents, claiming they are protected by the attorney-client
privilege or were attorneys' work products that can't be given to
an outsider.

According to the Bloomberg report, Judge Walrath observed at the
June 3 hearing that standing behind the privileges would delay her
ability to send the explanatory disclosure statement to creditors.
She said that WaMu ultimately must explain the Company's
evaluations of the claims in establishing why she should sanction
the settlement.  The judge told the parties to work out a schedule
for providing documents and report to her at a June 17 hearing.

Judge Walrath, Bloomberg relates, also said that WaMu's reluctance
to turn over documents was leading her to rethink her denial of a
motion by shareholders for the appointment of an examiner to
investigate the merits of the settlement.  She invited the
shareholders to file another motion for an examiner.

                      Discovery Procedures

Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Washington Mutual agreed at a
hearing Thursday to discuss discovery procedures with equity
holders and others objecting to its disclosure statement, slowing
down the bank's emergence from bankruptcy.  Brian Rosen, a partner
at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP representing WaMu, said in a brief
telephone interview that the bank withdrew its motion for
discovery procedures, according to Law360.

                       Third Amended Plan

BankruptcyData.com reports that Washington Mutual filed a Third
Amended Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  The Debtors submitted the
Disclosure Statement pursuant to Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy
Code in connection with the solicitation of acceptances and
rejections with respect to the Third Amended Joint Plan of
Affiliated Debtors pursuant to Chapter 11 of Bankruptcy Code.

BData says the Plan and the Global Settlement Agreement
contemplate that funds in excess of approximately $7 billion will
be available for distribution to the Debtors' creditors on account

WORLDSPACE INC: CEO Samara's Yazmi Buys Satellites for $5.5-Mil.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WorldSpace Inc. won approval from the Bankruptcy Court to sell its
two satellites to Chief Executive Officer Noah Samara.
Mr. Samara's Yazmi USA LLC will be buying the assets for $5.5
million, plus payment of specified expenses.

Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News notes that Mr. Samara would be
buying the business for a fraction of the price he originally was
under contract to pay.  WorldSpace negotiated two sales of the
assets.  Both fell through.  The first sale, for $28 million, was
to have been to Yenura Pte, a company Mr. Samara controlled.
WorldSpace terminated the contract, contending Yenura was in
breach for failure to pay the agreed price.

Absent the sale, WorldSpace was authorized in March to bring the
satellites out of orbit.  Destroying the satellites appeared
necessary after Liberty Satellite Radio LLC terminated talks that
had led to an agreement in principle after six months of talks.

* Bank Failures This Year Now 81 as 3 Banks Shut Friday
-------------------------------------------------------
Regulators on Friday shut down three banks -- TierOne Bank,
Lincoln, NE, Arcola Homestead Savings Bank, Arcola, IL, and First
National Bank, Rosedale, MS, -- on June 4, raising the total banks
shuttered to 81 this year.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed as receiver for
the closed banks.

The Jefferson Bank of Fayette, Miss., signed a deal to assume all
of the deposits of First National Bank.  Great Western Bank of
Sioux Falls, S.D., is assuming all of the deposits of TierOne
Bank.  The FDIC was unable to find another financial institution
to take over the banking operations of Arcola Homestead Savings
Bank.

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

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

                    2010 Failed Banks List

The FDIC was appointed as receiver for the closed banks.  To
protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with various banks that agreed to assume the
deposits of most of the closed banks.  The FDIC also entered into
loss-share transactions on assets bought by the banks.

For this year, the failed banks are:

               775 Banks Now in FDIC's Problem List

The number of institutions on the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp.'s "Problem List" rose to 775, up from 702 at the end of
2009. In addition, the total assets of "problem" institutions
increased during the quarter from $403 billion to $431 billion.
These levels are the highest since June 30, 1993, when the number
and assets of "problem" institutions totaled 793 and $467 billion,
respectively, but the increase in the number of problem banks was
the smallest in four quarters.

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

The FDIC says that 41 institutions failed during the first
quarter.  Chairman Bair noted that the vast majority of "problem"
institutions do not fail.

According to the FDIC, its Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance
improved for the first time in two years.  The DIF balance -- the
net worth of the fund -- increased slightly to negative $20.7
billion, from negative $20.9 billion (unaudited) on December 31,
2009.  The fund balance reflects a $40.7 billion contingent loss
reserve that has been set aside to cover estimated losses.  Just
as banks reserve for loan losses, the FDIC has to set aside
reserves for anticipated closings.  Combining the fund balance
with this contingent loss reserve shows total DIF reserves of
$20 billion.  Total insured deposits increased by 1.3%
($70.0 billion) during the first quarter.

The FDIC's liquid resources - cash and marketable securities -
remained strong.  Liquid resources stood at $63 billion at the end
of the first quarter, a decline from $66 billion at year-end 2009.
To provide the funds needed to resolve failed institutions in 2010
and beyond without immediately reducing the industry's earnings
and capital, the FDIC Board approved a measure on November 12,
2009, that required most insured institutions to prepay
approximately three years' worth of deposit insurance premiums -
about $46 billion - at the end of 2009.

Chairman Bair concluded by stating, "There will be more failures,
to be sure. The banking system still has many problems to work
through, and we cannot ignore the possibility of more financial
market volatility. But the positive signs I've outlined today
suggest that the trends continue to move in the right direction."

* S&P Report: Default Rate to Have Dropped to 6.7% in May
---------------------------------------------------------
Despite global risk aversion making a comeback after the sovereign
debt struggles in Europe, the U.S. speculative-grade default rate
fell to an estimated 6.7% at the end of May, said an article
published June 4 by Standard & Poor's, titled "U.S. Credit
Metrics Monthly: Default Rate Fell To An Estimated 6.7% In May
(Premium)."

"The preliminary estimate for the U.S. 12-month-trailing
speculative-grade default rate in May of 6.7% is down from a high
of 11.3% in November 2009 and 8.4% in April 2010," said Diane
Vazza, head of Standard & Poor's Global Fixed Income Research.
"The default rate is still above its long-term average of 4.5%,
and it remains a lagging indicator to the overall economy."

In May, Sagittarius Restaurants LLC was the only company that
defaulted in the U.S.  This compares with a total of 24 defaults
at the same time in 2009.


* S&P's Global Corporate Default Tally Rises to 36 in 2010
----------------------------------------------------------
Two global corporate issuers defaulted last week, raising the
year-to-date 2010 tally of global corporate defaults to 36, said
an article published by Standard & Poor's, titled "Global
Corporate Default Update (May 28 - June 3, 2010) (Premium)."

"By region, the current year-to-date default tallies are 25 in the
U.S., two in Europe, three in the emerging markets, and six in the
other developed region," said Diane Vazza, head of Standard &
Poor's Global Fixed Income Research. (The other developed region
is Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.)

So far this year, distressed exchanges account for 12 defaults,
Chapter 11 filings account for 10, missed interest or principal
payments are responsible for eight, regulatory directives and
receiverships are responsible for one each, and the remaining four
defaulted issuers are confidential.  Of the global corporate
defaulters in 2010, 40% of issues with available recovery ratings
had recovery ratings of '6' (indicating our expectation for
negligible recovery of 0%-10%), 10% of the issues had recovery
ratings of '5' (modest recovery prospects of 10%-30%), 10% had
recovery ratings of '4' (average recovery prospects of 30%-50%),
and 23% had recovery ratings of '3' (meaningful recovery prospects
of 50%-70%).  And for the remaining two rating categories, 13% of
the issues had recovery ratings of '2' (substantial recovery
prospects of 70%-90%) and 3% of issues had recovery ratings of '1'
(very high recovery prospects of 90%-100%).

S&P said, "Our baseline projection for the U.S. corporate
speculative-grade default rate in the 12 months ending in March
2011 is 3.5%, with alternative scenarios of 4.9% at the
pessimistic end and 3.0% at the optimistic.  Our baseline forecast
for year-end 2010 was 5.0%, with alternatives of 6.9%
(pessimistic) and 4.3% (optimistic), compared with a long-term
(1981-2009) average of 4.5%."

"Nevertheless, we believe residual default risk beyond the one-
year forecast horizon could increase because of the significant
overhang of surviving leveraged corporate issuers. The substantial
decline in risk premiums for lower-rated borrowers and the return
of what we view as questionable practices and structures in some
recent deals--such as raising bond funds to pay out shareholder
dividends or sponsors--further raise flags that the optimism might
be overdone.  In the slim chance that the economy experiences a
double-dip recession, many of the surviving leveraged issuers
originated during 2003-2007 could face renewed default risk unless
they significantly reduce their debt burdens."


* May Bankruptcy Filings Increase 10.4% From Year Earlier
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that the 133,500
bankruptcy filings in May were 10.4% more than a year ago,
although unchanged from April.  May filings by individuals and
business were at the second-highest monthly level since Congress
tightened bankruptcy laws in late 2005, according to data compiled
from court records by Automated Access to Court Electronic
Records.

Bloomberg relates that according to AACER, for the almost 7,400
business that sought to liquidate or reorganize in May, filings
fell 3.4% from the same month in 2009.  The 1,108 Chapter 11
filings last month represented a decline of 17% from April,
according to the report from AACER, a service of Oklahoma City-
based Jupiter ESources LLC. If the pace of filings during the
first five months continues for the remainder of 2010, total
bankruptcies this year will fall just short of 1.6 million,
compared with 1.44 million in 2009.  Last year's filings
represented a 32% increase from 2008.

According to Mr. Rochelle, bankruptcy filings remain below the
record 2.1 million in 2005, when 630,000 Americans sought
protection from creditors in the two weeks before revisions to
federal bankruptcy laws that October made it harder for
individuals to erase debts.


* Public Company Ch 11 Cases Concluding in Half the Time in 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------
The average duration of non-prepackaged, non-prenegotiated chapter
11 cases for large public companies decreased from 944 days in
2008 to 483 days in 2009 (note that the yearly data reflects cases
that concluded in that calendar year), netDockets Blog reports,
citing a data from Professor Lynn LoPucki's Bankruptcy Research
Database used in an article in the most recent issue of CFO
Magazine.

According to the report, CFO Magazine's article claims that the
average duration in 2009 was shorter than any year in the last
decade, while a review of Professor LoPucki's research actually
reflects that the average duration in 2002 was slightly shorter at
469 days.  Nonetheless, the report notes, 2009's average duration
reflects a marked decrease from recent years.

From 2003 to 2005, the report says, the average duration of cases
increased modestly from 614 days to 665 days.  However, the
average duration spiked in 2006 to 1,067 days and moderated only
slightly in 2007, decreasing to 841 days, the report relates.

The report discloses that Professor LoPucki's Bankruptcy Research
Database site also provides a chart of the average duration of all
large public company bankruptcies concluded between 2000 and 2009,
that data displays the same general trends, specifically:

    * shorter cases between 2000 and 2002
    * a significant increase in 2003
    * moderate growth in 2004 and 2005
    * a second significant increase in 2006
    * a decrease in 2007, but not to pre-2006 levels
    * an increase in 2008
    * a dramatic decrease in 2009 to approximately 2000 and 2002
      levels

Of note, the report says, this data set does reflect 2009's
average duration of 337 days was the lowest of any year during the
2000-2009 period.  The second shortest average duration was 379
days in 2000, the report adds.


* Warren Buffett Warns State & Local Govts May Seek Bailouts
------------------------------------------------------------
The New York Times reports that billionaire investor Warren E.
Buffett warned Wednesday afternoon that many state and local
governments would soon face a "terrible problem" in refinancing
their debt loads, and that some could eventually need to be bailed
out by the federal government.  The NY Times relates Mr. Buffett's
comments on municipal debt came at a hearing where he offered a
tepid defense of the actions of the credit rating agencies during
the run-up to the subprime mortgage crisis, noting that not even
he had been able to predict the housing bust.  According to the
report, Mr. Buffett told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
that there were other big risks that would test the effectiveness
of the rating agencies, especially how to rate the
creditworthiness of state and local governments.

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.
