155 EAST TROPICANA: Hooters Has Permission to Honor Casino Chips
----------------------------------------------------------------
Carla Main at Bloomberg News reports that 155 East Tropicana LLC
was given by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas permission to
honor casino chips and other gaming liabilities of Hooters Casino
Hotel.  The chips, wagers, deposits, customer promotions and other
obligations are necessary to preserve the company's operations and
"avoid immediate and irreparable harm," according to the judge's
order.

                     About 155 East Tropicana

155 East Tropicana LLC owns the world's first Hooters Casino
Hotel, a 696-room and 4-suite hotel located one block from the Las
Vegas Strip and across Tropicana Blvd. from MGM Grand.

155 East Tropicana, along with an affiliate, sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 11-22216) on Aug. 1, 2011.
155 East sought bankruptcy protection to stop a scheduled Aug. 8
foreclosure of the second-lien debt.  The two secured credit
facilities were accelerated early this year.  Canpartners Realty
Holding Co. IV LLC acquired 98.4% of the $130 million in 8.75%
second-lien senior secured notes.  An additional $32.2 million of
interest is owing on the second-lien debt.  US Bank NA is the
indenture trustee.  Holders of the $14.5 million in first-lien
debt have Wells Fargo Capital Finance Inc. as their agent.  The
first-lien obligation is fully secured.  Interest has been paid
currently at the default rate.

Brigid M. Higgins, Esq., at Gordon & Silver, Ltd., in Las Vegas,
Nevada, serves as counsel to the Debtors.  Garden City Group,
Inc., is the claims agent.

155 East Tropicana estimated $50 million in assets and
$100 million to $500 million in liabilities as of the Chapter 11
filing.


AMBAC FINANCIAL: Hearing on IRS $807-Mil. Claim Moved to September
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Chapman adjourned the hearing to consider
Ambac Financial Group, Inc.'s objection to the Internal Revenue
Service's $1.65 billion claims from Aug. 10, 2011, to Sept. 8,
2011.  The IRS's deadline to respond to the objection is further
extended from July 29, 2011, to Aug. 24, 2011.

The hearing has been adjourned a number of times.

At the hearing, Ambac Financial will ask the bankruptcy judge to
disallow the U.S. Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue
Service Claim Nos. 3694 and 3699 because the Claims are
substantially duplicative of one another, each asserting a
priority claim against the Debtor for $807,243,827.

From 1999 through 2008, Ambac Credit Products LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ambac Assurance Corporation, sold credit protection
to buyers in the form of credit default swap contracts.  AAC
insured ACP's performance under the CDS Contracts.  Because ACP
is disregarded for federal income tax purposes, AAC was treated
as the party to the CDS Contracts.  Almost all of the CDS
Contracts that ACP entered into from 1999 through 2004 were
substantially similar.  Likewise, substantially all of the CDS
Contracts that ACP entered into from 2005 through 2008 were
substantially similar.

AAC treated the Pre-2005 CDS Contracts as "put options" subject
to the "wait and see" method of accounting for federal income tax
purposes.  Pursuant to this method, AAC did not realize income or
expense until it disposed of a bond received from the exercise of
a credit protection buyer's physical settlement right or the
contract expired unexercised.  AAC also continued applying the
"wait and see" method of accounting with respect to its income
from the payments it received with respect to the Post-2004 CDS
Contracts and thus did not recognize income in either 2005 or
2006 because the contracts neither expired nor terminated.

In 2007, AAC suffered significant losses in its CDS Contract
portfolio for financial and statutory accounting purposes
beginning in 2007.  In preparing its 2007 consolidated federal
income tax return, the Debtor, in consultation with its
accountant KPMG LLP, determined that based upon the differences
between the Pre-2005 CDS Contracts and the Post-2004 CDS
Contracts, the Post-2004 CDS Contract should have been treated as
notional principal contracts or NPCs rather than as put options
subject to the "wait and see" method of accounting.

The proposed regulations promulgated in 2004 by the Treasury
Department concerning NPCs (i) require that a taxpayer use either
of two methods to account for "contingent nonperiodic payments,"
as payments made to credit protection buyers with respect to CDS
Contracts upon the occurrence of a credit event - the
"noncontingent swap" method or the "mark-to-market" method; and
(ii) specify that these two methods apply to NPCs entered into on
or after 30 days after the proposed regulations are finalized.

Because the 2004 Proposed Regulations have not been finalized in
2007 and until now, the Debtor applied the "impairment" method of
accounting to these losses.  The Preamble to the 2004 Proposed
Regulations also provides that taxpayers that have not adopted an
accounting method for NPCs providing for contingent nonperiodic
payments must adopt a method that takes those payments into
account over the life of the contract under a "reasonable
amortization method."

In April 2008, the Debtor filed with the IRS an application for
change in accounting method.  The application was supplemented by
a letter dated September 2, 2008, that clarified that AAC had not
adopted an accounting method with respect to losses incurred with
respect to the Post-2004 CDS Contracts, and that AAC would adopt
the impairment method of accounting with respect to any losses.
The IRS has yet to formally rule on the Accounting Method
Application.

As a result of the application of the impairment method of
accounting with respect to the losses incurred under the Post-
2004 CDS Contracts, the Debtor reported an approximately
$33 million taxable loss for 2007 and $3.2 billion taxable loss
for 2008.  On Sept. 23, 2008, August 11, 2009, and Dec. 21, 2009,
the Debtor filed claims for tentative carryback adjustments as a
result of the carryback to prior taxable years of the net
operating losses reflected on its 2007 and 2008 consolidated
federal income tax returns.

Based on these claims, in December 2008, September 2009, and
February 2010, the IRS refunded to the Debtor $11,470,930,
$252,704,185, and $443,940,722 in Tax Refunds, totaling
$708,115,837.  Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement dated July 19,
1991, among the Debtor and its subsidiaries in its consolidated
tax group, as amended, the Debtor distributed the Tax Refunds to
AAC.

On May 5, 2011, the IRS filed its claims, which list taxes
allegedly due and interest and penalties from those taxes but do
not explain the basis for the claims.

The IRS Claims are premised on the assumption that $708,115,837
in tax refunds paid to the Debtor between December 2008 and
February 2010 on account of carrying back losses that resulted
from its credit default swap contracts were erroneously paid to
the Debtor.  However, the Tax Refunds were not erroneously paid
to the Debtor, Peter A. Ivanick, Esq., at Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, in
New York, argues.

Mr. Ivanick contends that the Debtor is entitled to the Tax
Refunds, and the IRS should not be entitled to assert claims in
respect of those refunds, because AAC's use of the impairment
method beginning in 2007 with respect to the contingent non-
periodic payments under the Post-2004 CDS Contracts was the
initial adoption of a proper method of accounting.

"Even if AAC's use of the impairment method could somehow be
considered an impermissible change in accounting method, the
IRS's withholding of consent from AAC to use the impairment
method should be deemed an abuse of discretion, given that the
Preamble expressly disavowed the 'wait and see' method of
accounting for NPCs with contingent nonperiodic payments, which
AAC had been utilizing up until 2007, and the impairment method
conforms with the Preamble and the IRS's prior guidance," Mr.
Ivanick points out.

In the alternative, even if AAC's use of the impairment method
could somehow be considered improper, the IRS should be equitably
estopped from challenging AAC's use of that method given the fact
that the IRS never formally ruled on the Debtor's Accounting
Method Application and the Debtor's 2007 consolidated federal
income tax return put the IRS on notice of AAC's use of the
impairment method, Mr. Ivanick maintains.

AMBAC FINANCIAL: Wins Approval for Buttner Hammock as Consultant
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ambac Financial Group, Inc., obtained permission from the
Bankruptcy Court to employ Buttner Hammock & Company, P.A., as its
consultant and possible expert witness nunc pro tunc to July 15,
2011.

As the Debtor's consultant, Buttner Hammock will:

  * review the Debtor's accounting documents and provide
    analysis;

  * provide advice to the Debtor and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP; and

  * possibly serve as an expert witness with respect to the
    Debtor's objection to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's
    claims and adversary proceeding commenced by the Debtor
    against the agency.

The Debtor will pay Buttner Hammock professionals according to the
firm's customary hourly rates:

   Name                    Position            Rate per Hour
   ----                    --------            -------------
   Edward Buttner          Partner                 $395
   Ben Troxler             Principal               $360

that his firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined
under Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtor subsequently refiled with the Court its application to
employ Buttner Hammock, which application is substantially similar
to the original application filed on the same day.

to its lenders for the time being.

                        Going Concern Doubt

Marcum LLP, in New York, in its audit report on American Apparel's
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

As of April 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $8,000,000 of
cash, approximately $8,900,000 of availability for additional
borrowings and $46,100,000 outstanding on the credit facility
under the BofA Credit Agreement and $1,400,000 of availability for
additional borrowings and $4,000,000 outstanding on the credit

under the Bank of Montreal Credit Agreement.

The Company incurred a loss from operations of $13,091,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a loss from
operations of $21,556,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2010.  The current operating plan indicates that losses from
operations may be incurred for all of fiscal 2011.

"If we are not able to timely, successfully or efficiently
implement the strategies that we are pursuing to improve our
operating performance and financial position, obtain alternative
sources of capital or otherwise meet our liquidity needs, we may
need to voluntarily seek protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code," the Company said following its first quarter
results.

                           *     *     *

In June 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
corporate credit rating on American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings
Inc. to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The outlook is stable. "At the same
time, we raised our issue-level ratings on the company's senior
secured debt to 'BB' from 'BB-' and on the unsecured debt to 'B'
from 'B-'.  All the recovery ratings on the debt remain
unchanged," S&P stated.  "The upgrade reflects our opinion that
American Axle's credit measures will improve further over the next
12 months under the gradual recovery in North American auto
demand, and that the company's leverage will decline to 3.5x,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lawrence Orlowski.

As reported by the TCR on June 3, 2011, Moody's Investors Service
raised American Axle's Corporate Family Rating and Probability of
Default Rating to 'B1' from 'B2'.  The raising of American Axle's
CFR to B1 incorporates Moody's expectation that the company's
improved year-over-year EBIT margin will largely be sustained over
intermediate-term despite potential temporary automotive
production disruptions and high gasoline prices.

In a separate news, the Company said that the filing of its report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, is delayed due
to its inability to timely process the financial information for
the quarter and present it to its independent registered public
accounting firm for review and comment prior to the filing
deadline.  The Company does anticipate filing its quarterly report
within the additional time provided by this filing.  The Company
related that the delay in processing is the direct result of a

completed without unreasonable effort and expense.

AUTOS VEGA: Wants to Use Reliable's Cash Collateral Until January
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Debtor Autos Vega, Inc., and secured creditor Reliable Finance
Holding Company ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Puerto Rico to approve their joint stipulation authorizing
Debtor's use of Reliable Finance Holding Company's cash
collateral, on an interim basis, for the period commencing on
July 6, 2011, through and including Jan. 31, 2012.

As of Petition Date, the Debtor owed Reliable $14,710,558 plus
interest and related fees under the Financing Agreements.  As
security, the Debtor pledged their inventory, parts and
accessories inventory, equipment, accounts receivables, contract
rights, negotiable instruments, agreements, rents, cash accounts,
income arising therefrom, and other related intangibles.

The Debtor needs cash collateral for the purchase of new motor
vehicle inventory.  Without the use of Reliable's cash collateral,
the Debtor would be unable to purchase new inventory and be
required to cease operations, resulting in the immediate
liquidation and possible devaluation of all assets.

The Debtor will grant Reliable additional collateral, replacement
liens and super priority status and providing any other adequate
protection that is just and proper under the circumstances.

The Debtor will deposit into the Banco Santander account to be
opened all funds received from the sale of vehicles subject to
Reliable's pre- and post-petition liens immediately upon receipt.
The Debtor will pay Reliable the amounts owed on a per-unit basis
on the vehicles sold subject to its liens.  Upon payment to
Reliable, the Debtor will transfer any remaining funds to its DIP
account for the Debtor's operational expenses.

As adequate protection, the Debtor proposes to grant Reliable
additional collateral, in the form of a post petition pledge of
US$1,000,000, and a postpetition, first priority security interest
on any the vehicles, assets and collateral acquired by the debtor
with the proceeds from Reliable's cash collateral on and after the
Petition Date.  The Debtor will continue making monthly regular
payments on the interest accrued as invoiced by Reliable, and will
pay the expenses as invoiced by Reliable in the ordinary course of
its operations.

The Debtor agrees and ratifies that, if the replacement liens and
other forms of protection described above are inadequate to
protect Reliable's interests, Reliable's claim, including any
unpaid invoices for monthly interest charges and monthly invoices
for expenses, will be entitled to priority under Sections 363(c)
(1) and 507 (b) of the Code over all other expenses of
administration of the estate.  Any deficiency will also be secured
by all Pre-Petition collateral.

Finally, Reliable will not consent to the continued use of its
cash collateral unless the Cash Deposit is delivered to Reliable
on or before July 26, 2011, or the date the Bankruptcy Court has
approved the delivery of the Cash Deposit to Reliable, whichever
is later.  Therefore, the Debtor will open all required Debtor-in-
Possession bank accounts and the Collateral Clearing Account by
July 26, 2011.

The amount of US$430,133 advanced by Reliable for the purchase of
additional new motor vehicle inventory in the ordinary course of
business from July 6, 2011, to date will be recognized as an
administrative priority expense owing to Reliable, and the Debtor
will provide the appropriate replacement liens or collateral
guarantees as may be necessary to protect Reliable's interest in
said amount prior to the entry of the appropriate Court Order.

The Debtor also asks the Court for authorization to obtain
postpetition secured financing in connection with the increase by
Reliable of the credit line from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000.

BARNES BAY: Faces U.S. Trustee Objection to Amended Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Carla Main at Bloomberg News reports that the U.S. Trustee
objected Aug. 10 to the second amended plan of liquidation filed
June 28 by Barnes Bay Development, Ltd. The objection is scheduled
for a hearing on Aug. 24.  The second amended plan contains
"releases and exculpation provisions" that are "too broad in
scope" and include "nondebtor third parties that are not otherwise
entitled to such relief," the trustee said in a court filing.

BARZEL INDUSTRIES: Seeks $18.6 Million in Tax Refunds
-----------------------------------------------------
Carla Main at Bloomberg News reports that Barzel Industries Inc.
filed a brief Aug. 5 in the bankruptcy court in Delaware
presenting legal arguments to support its request for tax refunds
of almost $18.6 million.  A hearing on Barzel's right to the
refunds is scheduled for Sept. 8.

According to the report, the government has objected to the
request, arguing that Barzel's net operating loss for its 2009 tax
year "should be reduced by operation of the corporate equity
reduction transaction," or CERT rules, Barzel stated in the
memorandum filed with the court.  The government's argument, if
accepted, may reduce the refund by as much as $6 million.

The report relates that the CERT rules, which don't allow the
carryback of net operating losses, "have no relevance" to the
refund because Barzel didn't take into account interest expense in
calculating its net operating loss carryback, the company said in
the brief.

                      About Barzel Industries

Norwood, Massachusetts-based Barzel Industries, Inc., was in the
business of processing and distributing steel.  The Company
manufactured steel for the construction and industrial
manufacturing industries, and produces finished commercial racking
products.

protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-13204) on Sept. 15, 2009.

Stickles, Esq., and Patrick J. Reilley, Esq., at Cole, Schotz,
Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware, and
Gerald H. Gline, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard,
P.A., in Hackensack, N.J., serve as the Debtors' counsel.

On the same day, Barzel Industries filed applications for relief
under the Canadian Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice -- Commercial List.

Barzel Industries recorded assets of $370,145,000 against debts of
$375,412,000 as of May 30, 2009.

Barzel sold most of the assets in November 2009 for $75 million to
Norwood, Massachusetts-based Chriscott USA Inc.  Secured lenders
agreed to a settlement later where they received a release of
claims in return for giving up $800,000, including $500,000
earmarked solely for unsecured creditors.

Barzel scheduled a Sept. 8 confirmation hearing for approval of
the liquidating Chapter 11 plan.  The disclosure statement says
that unsecured creditors with $4.5 million in claims are estimated
to have an 11% recovery from the carveout from the lenders'
collateral.


BEAZER HOMES: Incurs $59.1-Mil. Net Loss in Fiscal 3rd Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Beazer Homes USA, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a
net loss of $59.12 million on $172.83 million of total revenue for
the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of
$27.81 million on $321.84 million of total revenue for the same
period during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $161.68 million on
$407.49 million of total revenue for the nine months ended
June 30, 2011, compared with net income of $25.48 million on
$722.40 million of total revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $2 billion in
total assets, $1.76 billion in total liabilities and $241 million
in total stockholders' equity.

"I'm pleased with our sales efforts during the third quarter,"
said Allan Merrill, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Beazer Homes.  "Our sales team was able to overcome significant
headwinds in both the economy and the housing market to record
substantially improved orders.  Our emphasis on promoting the low
cost of ownership of a new Beazer Home compared with both existing
homes and other new homes was an important contributor to this
effort."

                         About Beazer Homes

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) -- http://www.beazer.com/--
headquartered in Atlanta, is one of the country's 10 largest
single-family homebuilders with continuing operations in Arizona,
California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Nevada,
New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.  Beazer Homes is listed
on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "BZH."

                         *     *     *

Beazer carries (i) a 'B-' issuer credit rating, with "stable"
outlook, from Standard & Poor's, (ii) 'Caa1' probability of
default and long term corporate family ratings from Moody's, and
(iii) 'B-' issuer default rating, with stable outlook, from Fitch
Ratings.

Fitch said in November 2010 that the ratings and Outlook for
Beazer reflect the company's healthy liquidity position, improved
capital structure as well as the challenges still facing the
housing market.  Fitch expects existing home sales will decline
7.5% in 2010 and increase 6% in 2011.

S&P said that although Beazer's business and liquidity profiles
have improved, S&P doesn't anticipate raising its ratings on the
company over the next 12 months because S&P expects costs
associated with the company's heavy debt load will weigh on
profitability.

The 'Caa1' corporate family rating, Moody's said in November 2010,
reflects its expectation that Beazer has reduced costs
sufficiently that it will continue to reduce losses in fiscal
2011.  The impairments and other charges are likely to be less
material going forward, given the company's improving gross margin
performance, stabilizing pricing environment, and increasing
absorptions.  However, Moody's expectation is that Beazer's cash
flow performance will weaken in 2011, as the benefits of inventory
liquidation have largely played out.  The ratings also reflect the
company's extended debt maturity profile, improved Moody's-
adjusted debt leverage, and increased net worth position.


BERKLINE BENCHCRAFT: Ashley's $6-Mil. Wins Auction for IP Assets
----------------------------------------------------------------
Heath E. Combs at Furniture Today reports that Ashley Furniture

restructure and find a buyer.  When Berkline was unable to sell
itself, the Company decided to liquidate and file for bankruptcy.

Berkline has a $140 million second-lien loan that is mostly owed
to its parent, SCSF Furniture LLC, which isn't in bankruptcy.  A
total of $15 million is owed on a first lien term loan and

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping $50 billion.  On Dec. 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.).  Mr. Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims
agent.

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
US$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.)

As of July 15, 2011, a total of $6.88 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with $794.9 million to be paid by the
Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected to
receive additional distributions from money recovered by Mr.
Picard from lawsuits or settlements.

BION ENVIRONMENTAL: Grand Opening of Kreider Project Held
---------------------------------------------------------
Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc., and Kreider Farms recently
held the grand opening of Bion's livestock waste treatment project
that utilizes its patented micro-aerobic digestion technology to
reduce environmental impacts to the Chesapeake Bay.  The event was
held at the Kreider Farms dairy facility in Manheim, Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania.  The theme of the event was, "Think
Globally...Treat Locally", a strategy that refers to Bion's unique
ability to provide low cost treatment and removal of livestock
waste nutrients on-site at their source, rather than substantially
more expensive treatment downstream.

Runoff of excess nitrogen from agricultural activities, municipal
waste treatment plants and an assortment of urban/suburban
activities cause algal blooms in downstream coastal waters.  When
the runoff and the nitrogen it supplies subsides, the algae dies,
leading to hypoxic zones where dissolved oxygen levels fall below
levels necessary to sustain most animal life, such as the 'Dead
Zone' at the mouth of the Mississippi River in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to a recent task group made up of U.S. EPA staff and
state regulators, "nitrogen and phosphorus pollution has the
potential to become one of the costliest, most difficult
environmental problems we face in the 21st century."  Livestock
waste has been identified as one of the primary contributors of
excess nitrogen to the Chesapeake Bay, Gulf of Mexico, and many
other water basins.

To date, efforts to control excess nutrients have largely relied
on expensive downstream treatment provided by municipal wastewater
plants and storm water treatment of nutrients that have already
entered the water supply.  Higher cost treatment from these
facilities results from them having to remove nutrients that have
been diluted, requiring the processing of significantly greater
volumes of water to capture the nutrients.  To comply with the
need to make further nutrient reductions to protect the Company's
waterways, EPA has pushed for additional upgrades to these
wastewater plants and the development of new storm water treatment
infrastructure - both are very expensive alternatives.

Bion's unique technology treats the waste at a much lower cost by
capturing and stabilizing the nitrogen on-site at its source,
before it has a chance to disperse into the watershed.  When
considering the Chesapeake Bay, as well as the Gulf of Mexico,
Great Lakes and other waters, this more cost-effective strategy
could result in a potential savings to taxpayers of billions of
dollars annually.  The 'treat locally' strategy also provides
benefits to the local community and environment that include
reduction of nitrogen to underground aquifers and local waterways,
reduced phosphorus that primarily impacts freshwater ecosystems,
reduced odors and production of beneficial soil/fertilizer
products that provide enhanced performance for crop farming.

The Bion system at Kreider Farms (and potentially other locations
in the future) will generate verified long-term nitrogen and
phosphorus credits that Pennsylvania, and ultimately other
Chesapeake Bay states, can use to offset their obligations to
reduce nitrogen to the Bay and avoid expensive infrastructure
projects.  Bion's technology will significantly reduce on-farm
ammonia emissions that are ultimately re-deposited back to the
land within the watershed.  These nutrients are accounted for in
the US Environmental Protection Agency's models primarily in their
storm water and forest inventories, the most expensive nitrogen
pathways to capture and treat.  Also of significant environmental
benefit, Bion's technology will reduce the release of phosphorus
to local streams, as well as reduce greenhouse gases, hydrogen
sulfide and odors.  In addition, the Bion technology platform will
also produce renewable energy from the separated waste biomass.

The Bion system at Kreider Farms will initially treat the waste
from the dairy farm's 1,200-cow active milking herd and will
generate approximately 125,000 nitrogen credits that can be used
to offset Pennsylvania's nitrogen reduction requirements under the
Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy.  The system will also
ultimately treat the waste from the majority of Kreider Dairy's
additional milking stock as well as the 'support herd'.  Bion is
currently developing Phase 2 of the project that will treat the
waste from Kreider's approximately five million chickens as well
as produce renewable energy from the poultry and dairy waste
sufficient to provide electricity for approximately 2,700 homes.

Bion anticipates that upon completion of Phase 2, it will
ultimately produce nitrogen credits in the range of 1.5-2.0
million credits from treatment of the animal waste generated at
Kreider Farms based upon the latest EPA models.  In the Chesapeake
Bay basin, average nitrogen and phosphorous remediation costs
(including both municipal and storm water facilities) exceeds $40
per lb annually when operating and capital costs are included.
Based on the generation of credits (at $10 per pound), the Bion-
Kreider Project could save Pennsylvania taxpayers approximately
$30 million annually per million lbs of nitrogen reduced.  If used
primarily to offset storm water treatment inventories, the savings
could be substantially higher.  Pennsylvania's livestock industry
has the potential to produce reductions in excess of the 25M lbs
of nitrogen projected in the PA DEP Watershed Implementation Plan,
with the result being the ability to export cost effective
nitrogen and phosphorous reduction credits to adjoining Chesapeake
Bay basin states.

The project was funded with a $7.5 million loan from the
Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST).
PENNVEST's Executive Director, Paul Marchetti, spoke at the event
about the need to continue to develop and enhance the State's
existing nutrient credit trading program to allow it to provide
cost-effective solutions to Pennsylvania's obligations to reduce
nitrogen to the Bay.

In addition to Mr. Marchetti, the grand opening event was attended
by more than one hundred guests from across the stakeholder
community - several of them spoke to the stakeholder group about
Bion's technology and the overall Project:

Lancaster County Commissioner Dennis Stuckey credited Kreider and
its CEO and president, Ron Kreider, for their "forward-thinking"
approach to a persistent environmental problem.  Ron Kreider
stated, "Many of us here in Pennsylvania have taken our role as
protectors of our land, our environment and the Chesapeake Bay
very seriously and that's why our partnership with Bion made sense
from day one."

John Hines, Deputy Secretary of the PA Department of Environmental
Protection, opened his remarks with a quote from the late Carl
Sagan, astronomer and author, "advances in medicine and
agriculture have saved more lives than all lives lost in all wars
combined."  Secretary Hines went on to say, "The Kreider project
is a prime example that our efforts must move away from paper and
plans and be about people and projects.  It's innovative and
progressive projects like this that keep farmers in tune with our
economy and in tune with our communities."  Hines added, "that
equates to progress for Pennsylvania's environment and
agricultural community."

Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary George Greig also spoke at the
event, "Penn-sylvania's agriculture industry is committed to
developing innovative approaches to meet our goals in cleaning up
the Chesapeake Bay.  By continuing to work together with state,
federal and private partners, we can help restore the water
quality of the Bay and ensure future generations can benefit from
this natural treasure."  In a follow-up interview, he added, "This
is a process that is going to eliminate a lot of waste in the
Chesapeake Bay.  It processes the manure into a saleable product
and eliminates the nitrogen and phosphorus that can leach into the
Chesapeake.  We'll be watching this very closely...it is
promising.  I applaud the Kreider's for embracing this
technology."

The event was also attended by representatives from USDA, US EPA,
PENNVEST, PennFuture and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the PA
Farm Bureau and American Farmland Trust, and the PA Municipal
Authorities and PA Builders Associations, as well as
representatives from US Representative (PA) Pitts' and US Senators
Casey (PA) and Toomey (PA)'s offices.  Television news coverage
was carried on ABC 27 (Harrisburg).  The project was featured in
articles on Thursday, July 21 in the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Lancaster Online, and the York Daily Record and on Monday, July 25
in the Harrisburg Patriot-News and the American Agriculturist
(links to referenced media coverage can be found on Bion's
websites at www.biontech.com and www.bionpa.com).

Bion anticipates its micro-aerobic digestion livestock waste
treatment installation at Kreider dairy will achieve full
operating efficiency by end of summer 2011.  The benefits of
Bion's onsite livestock waste treatment go well beyond the
Chesapeake Bay requirements. The technology will also reduce
nutrients to local aquifers and streams; significantly reduce
odors; as well as provide substantial reductions in greenhouse
gases and an assortment of other air and water pollutants.  Bion's
Kreider Farms installation demonstrates that large scale livestock
production can be operated in a manner that is both economically
and environmentally sustainable.  Bion's technology and proposed
policy initiatives will result in a 'win-win' for the environment,
livestock agriculture and the tax and rate payers of Pennsylvania
and the Chesapeake Bay basin, and create a model template to
address the issue of excess nutrients nationally.

BIONOL CLEARFIELD: Trustee Seeks $230.4MM Award for Ethanol Plant
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that Bionol Clearfield LLC's
bankruptcy trustee is seeking help to ensure that a $230.4 million
arbitration award ends up in the Pennsylvania ethanol-plant
operator's coffers.

Bionol Clearfield filed for Chapter 7 liquidation (Bankr. D. Del.
Case No. 11-_____) in July 2011.  The Company estimated assets
between $50 million and $100 million and liabilities between $100
million and $500 million.  The Company owns a plant that produces
bio-based chemicals and fuels from renewable feedstock.


BLOCKBUSTER INC: Comcast Wants Proprietary Information Protected
----------------------------------------------------------------
Erik Gruenwedel at Home Media Magazine reports that Comcast Corp.
has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court overseeing the
Chapter 11 dissolution of Blockbuster Inc. asking that proprietary
business information as well as its subscribers not be subjected
to unwarranted intrusion by competitors such as Dish Network, new
owner of Blockbuster LLC.

According to the report, Comcast and Blockbuster Inc. April 13,
2010, signed a marketing agreement that called for the creation of
a joint DVD-by-mail rental service and installation of Comcast
kiosks in select Blockbuster stores.

The report says, as part of that deal, Comcast and Blockbuster
entered into a typical non-disclosure agreement whereby
Blockbuster agreed to protect proprietary information about
Comcast subscribers from potential solicitation from third party
competitors.

The joint online disc rental service never materialized due in
part to the fact fiscally-challenged Blockbuster filed for
bankruptcy Sept. 23, 2010, notes Home Media Magazine.

The report says, on July 29, 2011, Dish-owned Blockbuster LLC
filed notice of its intention to reject the aforementioned online
disc rental service.  Both Blockbuster LLC and Comcast are in the
midst of a "wind down agreement" to terminate the contract,
according to the filing.

The report relates that Comcast, which said it has no objection to
the termination, filed the motion in order to "remove any
uncertainty" that rejection of the disc rental service and related
ventures with Blockbuster does not subject its subscribers to
solicitation from third-party competitors.

"Rejection of executory contracts... does not rescind or terminate
both parties obligations under that contract," the motion read.

                      About Blockbuster Inc.

Blockbuster Inc., the movie rental chain with a library of
more than 125,000 titles, along with 12 U.S. affiliates,
initiated Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings with a pre-arranged
reorganization plan in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
10-14997) on Sept. 23, 2010.  Blockbuster began the attempted
Chapter 11 reorganization in September with 5,600 stores,
including 3,300 in the U.S.  It disclosed assets of $1 billion
and debts of $1.4 billion at the time of the filing.

Martin A. Sosland, Esq., and Stephen Karotkin, Esq., at Weil,
Gotshal & Manges, serve as counsel to the U.S. Debtors.
Rothschild Inc. is the financial advisor.  Alvarez & Marsal is the
restructuring advisor with A&M managing director Jeffery J.
Stegenga as chief restructuring officer.  Kurtzman Carson
Consultants LLC is the claims and notice agent.  The Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors retained Cooley LLP as its
counsel.

In April 2011, Blockbuster conducted a bankruptcy court-sanctioned
auction for all the assets.  Dish Network Corp. won with an offer
having a gross value of $320 million.

As a result of the asset sale and Chapter 11 cases, the Company is
not currently conducting any business operations.  The Company
expects to file a plan of liquidation with the Bankruptcy Court
and anticipates that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the
appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee to oversee liquidation of the
Company within the next several months.  Since the asset sale
proceeds are significantly less than the Company's pre-petition
liabilities, holders of secured and unsecured debt will receive
substantially less than payment in full for their claims and its
stockholders will receive no value for their shares of the
Company's common and preferred stock.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Incurs $153.1-Mil. 2nd Quarter Net Loss
--------------------------------------------------------------
Caesars Entertainment Corporation reported a net loss of $153.10
million on $2.23 billion of net revenues for the quarter ended
June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $272.50 million on
$2.22 billion of net revenues for the same period a year ago.

                    About Caesars Entertainment

Caesars Entertainment Corp., formerly Harrah's Entertainment Inc.
-- http://www.caesars.com/-- is one of the world's largest casino
companies, with annual revenue of $4.2 billion, 20 properties on
three continents, more than 25,000 hotel rooms, two million square
feet of casino space and 50,000 employees.  Caesars casino resorts
operate under the Caesars, Bally's, Flamingo, Grand Casinos,
Hilton and Paris brand names.  The Company has its corporate
headquarters in Las Vegas.

Harrah's announced its re-branding to Caesar's on mid-November
2010.  Harrah's carries 'Caa3' long term corporate family and
probability of default ratings, with 'positive' outlook, from
Moody's Investors Service.  It has a 'B-' issuer credit rating,
with 'stable' outlook, from Standard & Poor's.

"The 'B-' corporate credit rating reflects Caesars' very weak
credit measures and our belief that prospects for a meaningful
rebound in net revenues and EBITDA in 2011 do not seem promising
given the current economic outlook," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Ben Bubeck in May 2011. "While several actions taken by
management have positioned the company with a moderate covenant
cushion and very limited debt maturities over the next few years,
Caesars' capacity to continue to fund operational and capital
spending needs and meet debt service obligations relies on
meaningful growth in cash flow generation over the next few
years."

As reported by the TCR on March 3, 2011, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded Caesars Entertainment's Corporate Family ratings and
Probability of Default ratings to Caa2.  CET's Caa2 Corporate
Family Ratings reflect very high leverage, weak interest coverage,
the company's debt financed growth strategy, and Moody's view that
the company's current capital structure in unsustainable in the
long-term.  The ratings reflect Moody's expectation that gaming
demand will rebound very slowly over the next several years.
However, in the absence of a material de-leveraging transaction,
Moody's do not expect the company's capital structure to improve
materially over the next few years.  Additionally, given CEC's
weak credit profile, there is a possibility that the company could
again pursue transactions that will result in impairment of debt
holder claims as a means to improve its capital structure.

Capistrano, California, are wrestling over a $4.8-million
insurance payout that is tangled in bankruptcy proceedings.

According to the report, whether the 127 residents of Capistrano
Terrace Mobile Home Park who sued the owner in 2007 for neglecting
to maintain the park's infrastructure are entitled to the payout
will be decided later this month.

The report notes Capistrano Terrace Ltd. filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection, putting a stay on the civil suit-settlement
included.

The report relates that, in court documents filed Monday, the park
owner disagreed, arguing that approving the settlement before the
bankruptcy is settled would strip the park of its primary asset,
the insurance policy, which would leave its other creditors out to
dry.

The report notes listed among the creditors are hundreds of other
residents, property managers and investors, and the city of San
Juan Capistrano, which it owes more than $7,000.

In 2007, 127 residents sued Capistrano Mobile Terrace Ltd. for
breach of contract and for failing to maintain the mobile home
park. Neglecting the upkeep resulted in serious health and safety
code violations, they said, as the sewer, water, electrical
systems and other common areas, such as the pool, were left in
disrepair, the report says.

The report notes a judge severed 17 plaintiffs from the group for
a jury trial, which on Jan. 13, 2011, awarded them $1.14 million
in damages.  The settlement became subject to bankruptcy court
approval, and any new decisions in the civil suit were suspended.

On Aug. 22, a bankruptcy court judge will consider whether the
residents are entitled to the offer in spite of the Chapter 11
filing.

Lake Forest, California-based Capistrano Terrace Ltd. filed a
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 11-19767) on
July 12, 2011.  D. Edward Hays, Esq., at Marshack Hays LLP, in
Irvine, California, serves as counsel to the Debtor.  The Debtor

CENTRAL GARDEN: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating on Walnut, Creek, Calif.-based Central Garden & Pet
Co. The rating outlook is stable.

"In addition, we affirmed our 'BB' issue-level rating on the
company's $375 million senior secured credit facility due 2016.
The recovery rating is '1', indicating our expectation of very
high (90% to 100%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
default," S&P related.

"We lowered our issue-level rating on the company's $400 million
senior subordinated notes due 2018 to 'B' from 'B+'. We revised
the recovery rating to '5' from '4'. The '5' recovery rating
indicates our expectation of modest (10% to 30%) recovery for
noteholders in the event of a payment default. The upsizing the
secured credit facility reduces the recovery for the subordinated
noteholders," S&P said.

"We estimate the company had about $450.5 million in reported debt
outstanding at June 25, 2011," S&P said.

"The speculative-grade ratings on Central Garden incorporate our
assessment of the company's weak business risk profile based on
the seasonality in its garden businesses, narrow business focus,
susceptibility to commodity cost volatility, and fluctuating
operating results," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Brian
Milligan. "We characterize the company's financial risk profile
as aggressive based on its historical debt-financed acquisition-
oriented growth strategy and its moderately high leverage. The
company's broad product portfolio and participation in two market
segments with favorable demographic trends partially offset these
risks."


CHRISTIAN BROTHERS: Meeting of Creditors Continued Until Sept. 20

CITY NATIONAL BANCSHARES: Continues to Defer Dividend Payments
--------------------------------------------------------------
City National Bancshares Corporation, on Aug. 4, 2011, notified
the United States Department of the Treasury of its intent to
continue to defer the payment of its regular quarterly cash
dividend on its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series G, issued to the Treasury in connection with the Company's
participation in the Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Program.

In addition, the Company has notified the trustee of the City
National Bank of New Jersey Capital Statutory Trust II, which is
the holder of the Company's junior subordinated debentures
relating to its outstanding trust preferred securities that the
Company will continue to defer its regularly scheduled quarterly
interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures.  Under
the terms of the debentures, the Company is permitted to defer the
payment of interest on the junior subordinated debentures at any
time, for up to 20 consecutive quarters, without default.  Due to
the deferral, the trust will likewise suspend the declaration and
payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities.

The Series G preferred stock and the junior subordinated
debentures issued in favor of the Trust provide for cumulative
dividends and interest, respectively.  Accordingly, the Company
may not pay dividends on any of its common or preferred stock
until the dividends on Series G preferred stock and the interest
on such debentures are paid-up currently.

The Company's failure to pay dividends for five consecutive
dividend periods has triggered board appointment rights for the
holders of the Series F preferred stock.  The Company's failure to
pay dividends for six consecutive dividend periods with respect to
the Series G preferred stock has triggered additional board
appointment rights for the holders of Series G preferred stock and
Series F preferred stock.

                       Default Under Term Loan

On May 11, 2006, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with
Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, L.P.  The Term Loan was
for an initial principal amount of $209.2 million and for an
initial term of two years.  The Company has drawn an additional
$40.8 million against the Term Loan, the maximum funding of the
Term Loan.  Covenants under the Term Loan restrict the Company's
future borrowing capacity.  The loan had an original two-year term
and three, one-year extensions.

Interest on the loan was based on LIBOR plus 2.9% with a minimum
LIBOR rate of 1.5%.  Interest incremented to LIBOR plus 3.5% from
July 2009 through May 2010 and increased to LIBOR plus 4.0% from
June 2010 through May 2011.

As of July 29, 2011, the Company is in default on its Term Loan.
Accordingly, the lender is entitled to exercise various rights,
powers and remedies including acceleration of the Loan,
termination or suspension of all or any portion of advances or
disbursement of funds from restricted cash accounts, accrual of
interest at the default rate and the exercise of remedies under
collateral documents.  The Company is currently in discussions
with its lender to negotiate a restructuring of its debt.  If the
Company is not successful in a restructuring agreement or entering
into a transaction to address its liquidity and capital structure,
the note holders have the ability to demand accelerated repayment
of all amounts under the Term Loan.  The Company would not have
the liquidity to meet this demand.

According to the Company, these conditions raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Vegas, Nevada, expressed substantial doubt about Colony Resorts
LVH Acquisition's ability to continue as a going concern,

Independent School in Pittsboro, North Carolina, has filed for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, and will not reopen this fall
for classes.

According to the report, the school's July 27 federal bankruptcy
filing lists debts of $500,000 to BB&T bank and $280,000 to a
range of other creditors, as well as assets of $1.1 million.

attorney, Stephanie Osborne-Rodgers, said the trustee overseeing
the liquidation has talked with other local educational groups
that could purchase the land and building and reopen it as a
school.

Mr. Osborne-Rodgers said the school had suffered a downturn in
enrollment related to the nation's generally weak economy in
recent years.

"They didn't realize -- until after spring semester -- the gravity
of the situation," the Business Journal quotes Mr. Osborne-Rodgers
as saying.

COYOTES HOCKEY: New Ownership Bid in the Works
----------------------------------------------
Mike Sunnucks at the Phoenix Business Journal reports that a new
ownership bid is being formulated for the Phoenix Coyotes.

According to the report, the "Roc and Manuch" show reported that
the bid involves a minority owner involved with another National
Hockey League franchise, and there could be a seven-year out
clause that would allow the new owners to sell and/or move the
team out of Arizona if market conditions do not improve.

The official familiar with the Coyotes situation said the unnamed
Canadian group has plenty of cash to make the deal.  That same
source said the group could put up $100 million, with $40 million
to $50 million coming from the city of Glendale via bonds.  The
NHL could give approval to the deal in the coming days, according
to KDUS.

The report notes there is also another unidentified ownership
group talking to Glendale and the NHL about buying the Coyotes,
according to that same source.

had bought the team to quash a plan by bidder Jim Balsillie's to
move the team to Ontario, Canada.  Coyotes was sent to Chapter 11
to effectuate a sale by owner Jerry Moyes to Mr. Balsillie.


CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL: Committee Threatens With Avoidance Suits
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Los Angeles Times reports that Chapman University and the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange appear to be the front-runners to
buy Southern California's bankrupt Crystal Cathedral, but if
church insiders vote to block the sale of the property, creditors
vowed to sue, court documents show.

In that event, the creditors committee will attempt to recover
what it sees as "preferential" payments to church insiders in the
two years leading up to the church's Chapter 11 filing, the
documents said, according to the report.

More than a dozen family members have been employed by the church,
and a U.S. trustee for the bankruptcy court has questioned the job
duties of several insiders, the report relates.

The Diocese of Orange increased its cash offer from $50 million to
$53.6 million and would require the Crystal Cathedral's ministry
to leave the property after three years.   Chapman University has
offered $50 million.

                      About Crystal Cathedral

Crystal Cathedral Ministries is a Southern California-based
megachurch founded by television evangelist Robert Schuller.  The
church, known for its television show "The Hour of Power."

Mr. Schuller retired from his role as senior pastor of Crystal
Cathedral in 2006.  His daughter Sheila Schuller Coleman has been
senior pastor since July 2009.  Contributions declined 24 percent
in 2009, in part on account of "unsettled leadership."

Crystal Cathedral filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. 10-24771) on Oct. 18, 2010.  The Debtor
disclosed $72,872,165 in assets and $48,460,826 in liabilities as
of the Chapter 11 filing.  Marc J. Winthrop, Esq., at Winthrop
Couchot P.C. represent the Debtor.

Todd C. Ringstad, Esq., at Ringstad & Sanders, LLP, represents the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

The church proposed a plan where the campus would be sold to
Greenlaw Partners LLC and leased back in a $46 million
transaction.  But the proposed sale received counter offers from
Chapman University and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange.
Crystal Cathedral on July 31 said that its board has voted to
forego choosing a buyer of its Crystal Cathedral property, as part
of its bankruptcy reorganization plan.

The Creditors Committee filed its own sale-based plan for the
Debtor after exclusivity expired.

Purchase and Sub-License Agreement with Hydrozonix LLC to deploy
its patented Ecosphere Ozonix technology in the U.S. onshore oil
and gas exploration and production industries on-shore only.

Although, the Company has not attained a level of revenues
sufficient to support recurring expenses, based on the anticipated
cash flow, revenues and profits from the Hydrozonix contract, the
Company expects to have the resources to settle all previously
incurred obligations.  According to the Company, these factors,
among others, have considerably reduced the substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern expressed in
previous filings, albeit that some doubt will remain pending the
acceptance of and payment by Hydrozonix for the first two EF80s
currently in production.  It is anticipated that such acceptance
and payment of final amounts due will occur in September 2011
after the units are tested in the field.

As reported in the TCR on Mar 22, 2011, Salberg & Company, P.A.,
in Boca Raton, Fla., expressed substantial doubt about Ecosphere
Technologies' ability to continue as a going concern, following
the Company's 2010 results.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has a net loss applicable to Ecosphere Technologies,
Inc. common stock of $22,237,207, and net cash used in
operations of $1,267,206 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, and a
working capital deficit, a stockholders' deficit and an
accumulated deficit of $5,459,051, $1,780,735 and $110,025,222,
respectively, at Dec. 31, 2010.  In addition, the Company has
redeemable convertible cumulative preferred stock that is eligible
for redemption at a redemption amount of $3,877,796 including
accrued dividends as of Dec. 31, 2010.

FHG ENTERPRISES: Meeting to Form Retiree Committee on August 17
---------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta DeAngelis, United States Trustee for Region 3, will hold
an organizational meeting on August 17, 2011, at 1:00 p.m. in the
bankruptcy case of FHG Enterprises, Inc.  The meeting will be held
at:

   United States Trustee's Office
   One Newark Center
   1085 Raymond Blvd.
   21st Floor, Room 2106
   Newark, NJ 07102

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

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

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States
Trustee appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as
practicable.  The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons,
willing to serve, that hold the seven largest unsecured claims
against the debtor of the kinds represented on the committee.
Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee
may consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its
business operations and participate in the formulation of a plan
of reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services
as are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

FHG Enterprises, Inc. filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. N.J.
Case No. 11-33256) on Aug. 3, 2011 in Camden, New Jersey.  Brian
W. Hofmeister, Esq., at Teich Groh, in Trenton, serves as counsel
to the Debtor.  The Debtor disclosed $339,497 in assets and $11
million in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.


FIRST NATIONAL BANK: Closed; Enterprise B & T Assumes All Deposits
------------------------------------------------------------------
First National Bank of Olathe in Olathe, Kan., was closed on
Friday, Aug. 12, 2011, 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 Enterprise
Bank & Trust of Clayton, Mo., to assume all of the deposits of
First National Bank of Olathe.

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

As of June 30, 2011, First National Bank of Olathe had around
$538.1 million in total assets and $524.3 million in total
deposits.  Enterprise Bank & Trust will pay the FDIC a premium of
1.5% to assume all of the deposits of First National Bank of
Olathe.  In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed
bank, Enterprise Bank & Trust agreed to purchase essentially all
of the assets.

The FDIC and Enterprise Bank & Trust entered into a loss-share
transaction on $419.6 million of First National Bank of Olathe's
assets.  Enterprise Bank & Trust 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 with questions about the transaction should call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-913-3067.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at

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

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $116.6 million.  Compared to other alternatives,
Enterprise Bank & Trust's acquisition was the least costly
resolution for the FDIC's DIF.  First National Bank of Olathe is
the 64th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year,
and the first in Kansas.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed
in the state was Hillcrest Bank, Overland Park, on October 22,
2010


FNB UNITED: Incurs $48.9 Million Net Loss in Second Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------
FNB United Corp. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $48.97 million on $15.19 million of total interest income for
the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of
$24.92 million on $21.65 million of total interest income for the
same period a year ago.

The Company also reported a net loss of $92.68 million on $30.66
million of total interest income for the six months ended June 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $28.50 million on $45.09 million
of total interest income for the same period during the prior
year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $1.72 billion
in total assets, $1.83 billion in total liabilities and a $113.71
million total shareholders' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

On April 26, 2011, FNB United entered into investment agreements
with The Carlyle Group and Oak Hill Capital Partners to
recapitalize the Company, as well as a merger agreement with Bank
of Granite Corporation.  On June 16 and Aug. 4, 2011, the Company
entered into subscription agreements with various accredited
investors for the purchase and sale of its common stock.
Together, the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill
Capital and the subscription agreements contemplate the issuance
of $310 million of common stock of the Company at $0.16 per share.

Completion of the recapitalization, including the sale of common
stock to The Carlyle Group and Oak Hill Capital Partners and the
other investors, is subject to various conditions, certain of
which are outside of the Company's control and may not be
satisfied.  The closing conditions to the recapitalization include
receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and other customary
closing conditions.  No assurance can be given that all conditions
will be satisfied timely or at all.  The Company said if it fails
to consummate the recapitalization, it is expected it will not be
able to continue as a going concern, it may file for bankruptcy
and the Bank may be placed into FDIC receivership.  The equity
financing transaction, if completed, will result in substantial
dilution to the Company's current shareholders and could adversely
affect the market price of the Company's common stock.

complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services,
including loan, deposit, cash management, wealth management and
internet banking services.

The Company incurred significant net losses in 2009, which
continued in 2010 and 2011, primarily from the higher provisions
for loan losses due to the significant level of nonperforming
assets and the write-off of goodwill.

Dixon Hughes PLLC, in Charlotte, North Carolina, in its
independent auditors' report dated March 14, 2011 and attached to
the financial statements, noted that the Company continued to
incur significant net losses in 2010, primarily from the higher
provisions for loan losses due to the significant level of non-
performing assets.  According to Dixon Hughes, the Company is
significantly undercapitalized per regulatory guidelines and has
failed to reach capital levels required in the Consent Order
issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in 2010.
These matters, the accounting firm maintains, raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Dixon Hughes also said that FNB United Corp. and Subsidiary has
not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of Dec. 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

GAMETECH INT'L: Securities May Be Delisted from Nasdaq
------------------------------------------------------
GameTech International, Inc., received a notification from The
Nasdaq Stock Market on Aug. 3, 2010, stating that the Company was
not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for
continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until Jan. 31,
2011, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
by meeting the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for
ten consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period.

The bid price of the Company's common stock did not close at or
above $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days within the
initial 180-day grace period.  To avoid delisting, the Company, at
the recommendation of Nasdaq, filed an application to transfer the
listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the
Nasdaq Capital Market, which was approved by Nasdaq on Jan. 28,
2011.  In connection with the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital
Market, on Feb. 1, 2011, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had
granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until
Aug. 1, 2011, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital
Market to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.

The Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid
Requirement by Aug. 1, 2011.   As a result, on Aug. 2, 2011, the
Company received a Staff determination letter from Nasdaq stating,
among other things, that the Nasdaq Staff determined that the
Company failed to demonstrate compliance with Minimum Bid
Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market
and, therefore, the Company's securities will be suspended at the
opening of business on Aug. 11, 2011, and a Form 25-NSE will be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the
Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company may appeal the Staff Determination to the Nasdaq
Hearings Panel, by filing a request for a hearing before the Panel
on or before Aug. 9, 2011, in accordance with the 5800 Series of
the Nasdaq Listing Rules.  A timely request for a hearing would
stay the suspension of the Company's securities and the filing of
the Form 25-NSE pending the decision of the Panel.  If the Company
chooses to appeal the Staff Determination, the Company will be
expected to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance,
which may include a commitment to effect a reverse stock split, if
necessary.

The Company said it is considering appealing the Staff
Determination.  In the event that the Company files a request for
a hearing with the Panel to appeal the Staff Determination, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
appeal or that its securities will remain listed on Nasdaq or will
be listed on another exchange or traded in another market.

In the event the Company's common stock is delisted from Nasdaq,
the Company intends to work with its market makers as necessary to
obtain quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board market.

                     About General Maritime Corp.

Based in New York City, General Maritime Corporation through its
subsidiaries provides international transportation services of

segment, which is the transportation of international seaborne
crude oil and petroleum products.  The Company's vessels are
primarily available for charter on a spot voyage or time charter
basis.

The Company reported a net loss of $216.66 million on
$387.16 million of voyage revenue for the year ended Dec. 31,
2010, compared with a net loss of $11.99 million on
$350.52 million of voyage revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $1.78 billion
in total assets, $1.46 billion in total liabilities and $339.32
million in shareholders' equity.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, in New York, expressed substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditor noted that the Company requires additional
financing in order to meet its debt obligations that will come due
over the next year.  In addition, the Company has current losses
from operations, a working capital deficit and the expectation
that certain of its loan covenants will not be achieved during
2011 without additional capital being raised, debt being
refinanced or covenants waived or amended.

                          *     *     *

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in December 2010 lowered its
long-term corporate rating on General Maritime Corp. to 'CCC+'
from 'B', and placed the ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  At the same time, S&P lowered its ratings on the
company's senior unsecured notes to 'CCC-', two notches below the
new corporate credit rating; the recovery rating of '6', which
indicates S&P's expectation that lenders will receive a negligible
(0%-10%) recovery in a payment default scenario, remains
unchanged.

"The downgrade reflects General Maritime's weak liquidity, very
limited financial covenant headroom (despite recent amendments),
and deterioration in its financial profile," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Funmi Afonja.  "As of Sept. 30, 2010,
General Maritime had no borrowing availability under its
$749.8 million revolving credit facility and $8.7 million in
unrestricted cash, after factoring financial covenant limitations.
In S&P's opinion, the recent financial covenant amendments do not
provide sufficient covenant headroom, and there is still a high
probability of a covenant breach over the next quarter.  If there
is a covenant breach, lenders can require the immediate payment
of all amounts outstanding.  General Maritime's liquidity is
further constrained by significant upcoming debt maturities,
including $27.5 million in scheduled principal payments due in
2011 under its term loan, $50.1 million semiannual reduction on
the revolver, beginning on April 26, 2011, and a bullet payment
of $599.6 million in October 2012, when the facility expires.
General Maritime also has a $22.8 million bridge loan facility
that matures in October 2011.  Cash interest payments on the
bridge loan will increase if the company is unable to pay off the
loan by Dec. 31, 2010."

In the Dec. 22, 2010 edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered its ratings of General Maritime Corporation: Corporate
Family to B3 from B1, Probability of Default to Caa1 from B2 and
senior unsecured to Caa2 from Caa1.  Moody's also downgraded the
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-4 from SGL-3.  The
outlook is negative.  The downgrade of the ratings reflects
GenMar's tightening liquidity position as a result of ongoing weak
tanker freight rates and upcoming debt maturities.  These
maturities include the recently arranged $22.8 million bridge loan
due Oct. 21, 2011 ("Bridge Loan"), and two $50 million
repayments (one each on April 26, 2011 and Oct. 26, 2011) that
are due on the company's $750 million revolving credit facility
that was almost fully drawn at Sept. 30, 2010.


GLC LIMITED: Donnan Settles Legal Dispute for $5.5 Million
----------------------------------------------------------
Greg Bluestein at the Associated Press reports that Jim Donnan has
settled a legal dispute with GLC Limited, a bankrupt liquidation
company that accused him of recruiting other high-profile coaches
to invest in a Ponzi scheme, according to federal court documents.

The AP relates that Mr. Donnan and his wife agreed to transfer
about $5.5 million in cash, stocks and other assets to GLC to
settle claims he profited by convincing investors to pump money
into the company.

Mr. Donnan has not been charged with any criminal wrongdoing and
defense attorney Ed Tolley said his client was "absolutely not
involved in a Ponzi scheme," the AP states.

The AP notes that the settlement was filed on August 9 in U.S.
District Bankruptcy Court and must be approved by a federal judge.
It would end months of litigation between the Donnans and GLC,
which claimed the ex-coach invested more than $5.4 million in the
firm and that his family ultimately made more than $14.5 million,
the AP adds.

The Company also reported a net loss of $63.62 million on $62.23
million of oil and gas sales for the six months ended June 30,
2011, compared with net income of $4.08 million on $44.51 million
of oil and gas sales for the same period during the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of $138.29 million on

2010, compared with a net loss of $181.08 million on $94.29
million of oil and gas sales during the prior year.

                           *     *     *

GMX Resources got a first time 'Caa1' Corporate Family Rating
and SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating from Moody's
Investors Service in February 2011.  GMX's 'Caa1' CFR reflects its
small size, limited diversification, production that is 97%
natural gas in a low gas price environment, high leverage on
production and reserves, and the risks inherent
in developing its newly acquired oil focused Bakken and Niobrara
acreage while outspending cash flow," commented Jonathan
Kalmanoff, Moody's Analyst.  "The rating also considers the
potential for improvement in both profitability and
diversification if GMX is successful in developing its newly
acquired acreage, the pre-funding of the majority of 2011 capital
spending through both debt and equity offerings, a lack of
required drilling to hold acreage in the company's East Texas
properties, and hedges in place which add support to realized
prices for gas production through 2012."

As reported by the TCR on April 25, 2011, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B-' corporate credit rating
to Oklahoma City-based GMX Resources Inc.  The outlook is stable.
"The ratings on GMX Resources Inc. reflect the company's limited
scale of operations, meaningful exposure to weak natural gas
prices, a very aggressive near-term spending plan, limited
liquidity beyond 2011, and elevated debt leverage," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Paul B. Harvey.  "Near-term credit quality
will benefit from the liquidity provided by GMX's $200 million
senior unsecured note issuance and concurrent $100 million common
equity offering, as well as expectations for growing production
from its Haynesville Shale development," S&P related.


GRAY TELEVISION: CFO Corrects First Lien Leverage Ratio
-------------------------------------------------------
James C. Ryan, Gray Television, Inc.'s chief financial officer and
senior vice president, said in a regulatory filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that during the Company's
earnings conference call, held on Monday Aug. 8, 2011, he
inadvertently indicated that Gray's first lien leverage ratio
under the Company's senior credit facility as of June 30, 2011,
was 7.14 times.  In fact, Mr. Ryan noted, and consistent with
other remarks on the earnings conference call and Gray's other
public disclosures, the first lien leverage ratio was 4.17 times.
The first lien leverage ratio covenant requirement under Gray's
senior credit facility as of June 30, 2011, is 6.75 times.
Therefore, and consistent with other existing disclosure, as of
June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants
required under its debt obligations.

                      About Gray Television

Formerly known as Gray Communications System, Atlanta, Georgia-
based Gray Television, Inc., is a television broadcast company.
Gray currently operates 36 television stations serving 30 markets.
Each of the stations are affiliated with either CBS (17 stations),
NBC (10 stations), ABC (8 stations) or FOX (1 station).  In
addition, Gray currently operates 38 digital second channels
including 1 ABC, 4 Fox, 7 CW, 16 MyNetworkTV and 1 Universal
Sports Network affiliates plus 8 local news/weather channels and 1
"independent" channel in certain of its existing markets.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed
$1.23 billion in total assets, $1.07 billion in total liabilities,
$37.30 million in preferred stock and $124.58 million in total
stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

Gray Television carries 'B-' issuer credit ratings, with stable
outlook, from Standard & Poor's and 'Caa1' corporate family rating
and probability of default rating, with stable outlook, from
Moody's.

"Moody's views the company's current level of financial leverage,
as exacerbated by a concentrated maturity profile, to be
unsustainable for a TV broadcaster and indicative of elevated
restructuring risk over the longer-term," said Moody's Russell
Solomon, Senior Vice President, in April 2010.  Pro forma for the
pending transaction, all of Gray's debt (including its debt-like
Series D Preferred Stock) comes due in 2014-2015.  Moody's
believes Gray will need to significantly reduce its debt with free
cash flow and will probably need to issue additional equity in
order to further moderate its leverage profile over the next few
years prior to accessing the capital markets again to refinance
current obligations.  The Caa1 CFR incorporates Moody's view that
leverage will remain excessive over at least the next two years.


GREAT LAKES: S&P Affirms 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
Oak Brook, Ill.-based Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp. to stable
from positive. "At the same time, we affirmed all of our ratings
on the company, including the 'B' corporate credit rating," S&P
related.

"The outlook revision is based on our expectation that the
company's operating performance in 2011 will likely be weaker than
our initial projections," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Robyn Shapiro. "Great Lakes has faced some challenges in its
demolition segment, with certain projects experiencing cost
overruns resulting in losses. It also incurred additional legal
expenses in the second quarter as a result of subpoenas received
by subsidiary NASDI LLC. While we are still expecting operating
performance in 2011 to be above historical averages, we have
revised our projections downward, thereby pushing out the
timeframe for a possible ratings upgrade."

"The ratings reflect our assessment of the company's highly
leveraged financial risk profile and weak business risk profile,
characterized by some cyclical dependence and high customer
concentration with the U.S. federal government," S&P said.

Funding constraints at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers a few
years ago led to lower domestic utilization rates, and as a
result, the Corps has put fewer projects out for bid. However,
starting in 2009, the federal stimulus package enabled the Corps
to put out to bid beach and maintenance projects that it had
pushed back due to funding constraints. Prospects for the industry
could brighten if the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund legislation is
passed, which would provide up to $500 million in additional
annual work. Pro forma for the $90 million in projects the company
won after June 30, 2011, total backlog remains flat compared with
year-end 2010 levels.

The outlook is stable. "We expect Great Lakes' operating
performance will remain above historical averages and that cash
flow and liquidity will remain adequate for operational needs,"
Ms. Shapiro continued. "We could raise the ratings if domestic
dredging demand continues to remain healthy and if the company's
credit measures, cash flow, and liquidity, as well as financial
policies, continue to support this trend. We could lower the
ratings if either company's financial policy becomes more
aggressive or if operating performance declines significantly,
causing FFO to total debt to fall to about 10%."


GREENMAN TECHNOLOGIES: Incurs $1.2-Mil. Net Loss in Fiscal Q3
-------------------------------------------------------------
GreenMan Technologies, Inc., reported a net loss of $1.22 million
on $1.15 million of net sales for the three months ended June 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $1.13 million on $310,000 of net
sales for the same period a year ago.

The Company also reported a net loss of $5.02 million on $2.86
million of net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $4.45 million on $998,000 of net sales
for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $6.25 million
in total assets, $7.81 million in total liabilities, and a
$1.56 million stockholders' deficit.

Lyle Jensen, GreenMan's president and chief executive officer
stated, "We are very pleased with the progress we have made during
the third quarter, not only demonstrated by the significant
revenue increase from APG, but also in terms of our continued
outreach to new addressed markets as well as new geographies.  We
view the new EPA regulations for Alternative Aftermarket
Conversions as a landmark development that will enable the launch
of our vehicular strategy in the U.S. and we are very pleased to
have successfully completed test trials in Australia that have
allowed us to move to the next phase toward beginning production
in that country.  This is a very exciting time in our Company's
development and we believe the cumulative effects of our
accomplishments during the last few months will help generate
additional revenue growth in the second half of the calendar
year."

GSC GROUP: Chapter 11 Trustee and SEC Settle GSCP (NJ) Violation
----------------------------------------------------------------
In order to avoid the delay, uncertainty and expense of litigating
a Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action, James L.
Garrity, Jr., as the Chapter 11 Trustee of the estate of GSC
Group, Inc., et al., seeks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York's approval of a settlement with SEC,
which resolves the SEC's claims against Debtor GSCP (NJ), L.P.

On January 13, 2011, SEC informed the Chapter 11 Trustee and his
counsel that it was considering filing a civil injunctive action
against GSCP (NJ) for "material misstatements and omissions" in
connection with the marketing of the Squared CDO 2007-1
collaterized debt obligations.  SEC further informed the Chapter
11 Trustee that it was considering seeking injunctive relief as
well as disgorgement, prejudgment interest and a civil penalty.

The Chapter 11 Trustee has entered into an Offer of Settlement,
which is conditioned upon Court approval, consenting to the entry
of an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist
Proceedings, which orders GSCP (NJ) to cease and desist from
committing or causing any violations and any future violations of
Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections
204 and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act, and Rule 204-2
promulgated thereunder.

According to the Chapter 11 Trustee, entry of the Order will
completely resolve the SEC's claims against GSCP (NJ).  He
enumerates the reasons why approval of the settlement is in the
best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors:

     * The settlement does not include the imposition of a
       monetary penalty against GSCP (NJ);

     * The settlement avoids difficult, time-consuming, and
       expensive litigation;

     * The settlement does not impose any limitations on the
       business activities of the Debtors, while if the SEC had
       obtained the injunctive relief it was considering seeking,
       that relief could have limited the operation of the
       Debtors' business.

interest and dividend income for the same period a year ago.

The Company also reported net income of $18.43 million $66.49
million of total interest and dividend income for the six months

period during the prior year.

million in total stockholders' equity.

                       About Hanmi Financial

Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Hanmi Financial Corp.
(Nasdaq: HAFC) -- http://www.hanmi.com/-- is the holding company
for Hanmi Bank, a state chartered bank with headquarters located
at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, in Los Angeles.
Hanmi Bank provides services to the multi-ethnic communities of
California, with 27 full-service offices in Los Angeles, Orange,
San Bernardino, San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Diego counties,
and a loan production office in Washington State.

The Company reported a net loss of $88.01 million on $144.51
million of total interest and dividend income for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $122.27 million on
$184.14 million during the prior year.

                           Going Concern

The Company is required by federal regulatory authorities to
maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations.
Hanmi Bank is also required to increase its capital and maintain
certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified
in a Final Order issued by the California Department of Financial
Institutions.  By July 31, 2010, the Bank was required to increase
its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100
million and maintain a ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to
total tangible assets of at least 9.0%.

In addition, the Bank was also required to maintain a ratio of
tangible stockholders' equity to total tangible assets of at least
9.5 percent at Dec. 31, 2010 and until the Final Order is
terminated.

As a result of the successful completion of the registered rights
and best efforts offering in July 2010, the capital contribution
requirement set forth in the Final Order was satisfied.  However,
the tangible capital ratio requirement set for in the Final Order
has not been satisfied at Dec. 31, 2010. Further, should the
Company's asset quality continue to erode and require significant
additional provision for credit losses, resulting in added future
net operating losses at the Bank, or should the Company otherwise
fail to be profitable, the Company's capital levels will
additionally decline requiring the raising of more capital than
the amount currently required to satisfy the Company' agreements
with its regulators.

The Company said an inability to raise additional capital when
needed or comply with the terms of the Final Order or the Written
Agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm in
their audit report for fiscal year 2010 has expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Continued operations may depend on the Company's ability to comply
with the regulatory orders the Company is subject to.


HARRY & DAVID: Reaches Deal With PBGC on Plan Termination
---------------------------------------------------------
Harry and David Holdings, Inc. has reached an agreement with the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation relating to the termination
of the Company's pension plan and the treatment of the PBGC's
claim under the Company's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the
"Plan").  The agreement, which is subject to the execution of
definitive documentation, will provide the Company with a clear
path to emerge from Chapter 11 in the near future.  At a hearing
held on August 11, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing the
Company's Chapter 11 case indicated that it would confirm the
Plan, subject to final documentation of the settlement with the
PBGC.  An ad hoc committee of holders of the Company's public
notes and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the
Company's Chapter 11 case both support the implementation of the
settlement as part of the Plan.

Under the terms of the settlement, the PBGC has agreed to forgo
the right to appeal the Bankruptcy Court's decision that the
Company satisfies the legal requirements to obtain a distressed
termination of its pension plan.  As a result, the Company will
turn over its pension plan assets to the PBGC, and the PBGC will
take over the administration of the pension plan no later than
September 12, 2011.

Kay Hong, the Company's Chief Restructuring Officer and interim
Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are pleased with the
settlement and that the PBGC will assume responsibility for the
pensions and pay benefits to participants up to the legal limits,
which the Company expects will provide over 99% of plan
participants with their full pension benefits."

As previously announced, the Plan allows the Company to convert
all of its approximately $200 million of outstanding public notes
into equity of the reorganized company.  The Plan also includes an
equity capital raise that will generate $55 million in equity
financing upon the Company's emergence from Chapter 11.  The
Company will utilize proceeds from the equity capital raise to
satisfy obligations arising from the Company's $55 million post-
petition term loan.  Additionally, the Company has a $100 million
revolving loan commitment to finance its normal seasonal working
capital needs after the Company exits Chapter 11.

Ms. Hong continued, "We are thrilled to have received over 90%
approval from our creditor constituencies for our Chapter 11 Plan,
which helps pave the way for our emergence from bankruptcy with a
clean balance sheet and capital structure that will enable us to
create long-term value.  We look forward to exiting Chapter 11 as
a stronger, more competitive company, fully committed to providing
customers with the highest quality products and service for years
to come.  We greatly appreciate the support of our lenders,
noteholders, customers, vendors and employees, as well as the
communities of Medford, Oregon and Hebron, Ohio throughout this
process.  Their continued support has been vital to our success."

                         PBGC's Statement

The PBGC said it will keep its commitment to pay the pension
benefits of the company's more than 2,700 workers and retirees.

"PBGC protects pensions and our top priority is to preserve
pension plans," said PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum. "Although the
court ruled against Harry & David's pensioners, the PBGC safety
net will be there for them."

Throughout Harry & David's bankruptcy, PBGC fought to keep the
pension plan going.  Unfortunately, the bankruptcy court did not
agree.  The agency will not appeal the decision.

"We did our best to work with Harry & David to maintain their
plan, but that didn't happen," said Gotbaum. "PBGC will step in
and pay benefits, on time and without missing a beat."

Under an agreement reached, Harry & David will pay PBGC $3.6
million over two years.  In addition, it will also pay $9.6
million in termination premiums over three years.

Harry and David's pension plan remains under the company's control
until the plan termination process is complete.  PBGC expects to
take over the pension plan in the next several weeks.

The PBGC protects the pension benefits of 44 million Americans in
27,500 private-sector pension plans.  The agency is directly
responsible for paying the benefits of more than 1.5 million
people in failed pension plans.  PBGC receives no taxpayer dollars
and never has.  Its operations are financed by insurance premiums
and with assets and recoveries from failed plans.

Bloomberg News reports.

The Debtor, the report relates, reached "an excellent settlement"
with the PBGC that "provides a clear path for emergence," Brad
Erens, an attorney for Harry & David, told the court.  The PBGC
will get a claim of $36 million and in return won't appeal Judge
Walrath's decision to terminate the pensions of more than 2,700
past and present employees.

Bloomberg discloses that under the modified plan, the PBGC claim
will get the same cash treatment as unsecured claims. Unsecured
creditors supported Harry & David's plan, which will pay them a
total of 10% of their claims in cash, with 40% paid in 2012 and
60% in 2013.

Prepetition, the Debtor negotiated the terms of a plan of
reorganization with holders of approximately 81% of its senior
notes.

The Court entered an order approving the disclosure statement
explaining the proposed Chapter 11 plan on June 24.

                    About Hawaii Medical Center

The Hawaii Medical Center, along with its affiliates, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Hawaii Lead Case No. 11-01746) on
June 21, 2011, just a year after exiting court protection.  Hawaii
Medical Center owns two hospital campuses -- HMC East in North
Honolulu and HMC West in Ewa Beach.  The two hospitals have 342
licensed beds and have a total of more than 1,000 employees.  The
hospitals were known as St. Francis Medical Center before Hawaii
Medical purchased the hospitals in 2007.

Judge Robert J. Faris presides over the 2011 case.  Lawyers at
Moseley Biehl Tsugawa Lau & Muzzi, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and
McDonald Hopkins LLC, in Cleveland, Ohio, serve as the Debtors'
counsel.  In its petition, Hawaii Medical Center estimated $50
million to $100 million in assets and $100 million to $500 million
in debts.  The petitions were signed by Kenneth J. Silva, member
of the board of directors.

Attorneys at Wagner Choi & Verbrugge, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Los Angeles, represent the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors as counsel.

The Debtors' prepetition debt structure is comprised of (i) the
Prepetition Revolving Loan with MidCap Financial, LLC, and the
Prepetition Term Loan with St. Francis Healthcare Systems of
Hawaii.  As of the petition Dte, the aggregate outstanding
principal on the Prepetion MidCap Revolving Loan and the
Prepetition St. Francis Term Loan is approximately $46,851,772.
The principal balance of the Prepetion MidCap Revolving Loan is
approximately $7,676,495.  The amount owed under the Prepetition
St. Francis Term Loan is approximately $39,175,277, secured by St.
Francis's first priority lien on, among other things, all real
property of the Debtors.

Through this Chapter 11 filing, the Debtors plan to return the
hospitals to the control of St. Francis.

In the prior case, HMC and its affiliated debtors were converted
to new, Hawaii non-profit corporations.  CHA Hawaii, one of HMC's
affiliated debtors and a subsidiary of Cardiovascular Hospitals of
America, LLC, discontinued management of the reorganized Debtors.

Wichita, Kansas-based CHA Hawaii LLC, and its affiliates --
including Hawaii Medical Center LLC -- filed for Chapter 11
protection on Aug. 29, 2008 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 08-12027).
Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP
represented the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  CHA
Hawaii estimated assets of up to $10 million and debts between
$50 million and $100 million when it filed for bankruptcy.  The
Debtors obtained confirmation of their Chapter 11 plan in May 2010
and emerged from bankruptcy in August 2010.

HERTZ CORPORATION: DBRS Affirms 'BB' Issuer Rating
--------------------------------------------------
DBRS Inc. has commented that the ratings of Hertz Corporation,
including its Issuer Rating of BB, are unaffected following the
Company's announcement of 2Q11 financial results.  The ratings
remain Under Review Developing, where they were placed on May 16,
2011.

For the quarter, Hertz reported a pre-tax income, on a GAAP basis,
of $94.6 million as compared to a pre-tax loss of $6.2 million a
year ago.  On an adjusted basis, excluding such items as
restructuring charges, non-cash debt charges and acquisition
related costs, Hertz reported pre-tax income of $184.4 million, a
noteworthy 92.5% improvement over 2Q10.  Importantly, adjusted
pre-tax income was 17% higher than the pre-recession peak set in
2Q07.  The quarter's strong results reflect a solid 6% increase in
worldwide revenues, excluding the effects of foreign currency
movements, to $2.1 billion driven by strong growth in transaction
volumes across all three business segments as rental demand
continues to recover from recessionary lows.  Indeed, worldwide
transactions increased 5%, while worldwide transaction days grew
8% evidencing the strengthening recovery in commercial and leisure
travel and the strength of the Hertz brand.  Pricing, or revenue
per day, in worldwide rental car, however, declined 4%, reflecting
competitive pricing conditions, as the industry was over-fleeted
as Hertz, similar to its competitors, held fleet to protect
against potential vehicle supply disruptions stemming from events
in Japan.

Moreover, the Company's results benefited from lower fleet costs
which were helped by the still healthy used vehicle market.  As a
result, worldwide rental car adjusted pre-tax margins improved by
280 basis points to 13.7%.  DBRS views positively that the
improvement in revenue generation and margins were achieved, while
Hertz continues to invest in the expansion of its off-airport
business and Advantage brand demonstrating that operating costs
remain under control.  Furthermore, DBRS considers Hertz's results
as evidencing solid underlying momentum across the franchise with
revenues improving across all business segments and good
underlying trends in industry fundamentals.

By operating segment, the positive trajectory continued.  For the
quarter, U.S. car rental revenue increased 4% year-on-year, while
European car rental revenue improved 18%.  Importantly, U.S. off-
airport demand continues to demonstrate solid growth with volumes
increasing a noteworthy 10% year-on-year.  As a result, off-
airport accounts for 26% of U.S. car rental revenue, illustrating
the success of the Company in broadening its revenue base.  For
the quarter, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation (HERC) generated
$301.7 million of revenue, a 10.5% increase year-on-year,
excluding the effects of foreign currency, on a solid 11.3% growth
in transaction volumes and higher utilization rates.  DBRS notes
that 2Q11 was the fourth consecutive quarter of positive revenue
growth for HERC.  DBRS sees the results at HERC as indicating that
the recovery in the equipment rental market is gathering pace as
industrial demand driven by infrastructure projects rebounds from
recessionary lows.  Nevertheless, given the uncertainties as to
the strength and sustainability of the economic recovery in the
U.S. and Eurozone, DBRS remains cautious regarding the further
improvement in the operating environment.

Hertz's results continue to benefit from the Company's solid fleet
management acumen.  To this end, fleet costs were at historically
low levels despite a 9% increase year-on-year in the worldwide
average fleet size in 2Q11.  Fleet costs continue to benefit from
the strong used-vehicle market and continuing development of more
profitable remarketing channels. U.S. vehicle depreciation per
unit for the quarter totaled $220 per month, 26% lower than a year
ago.

Hertz's liquidity and funding profile remain solid underpinned by
good access to the capital markets.  Following the successful
refinancing of over $4.0 billion of corporate debt in 1Q11, Hertz
completed a $598 million asset-backed note issuance and a EUR 100
million revolving credit facility to support peak season fleet
growth.  At June 30, 2011, corporate liquidity totaled a solid
$1.6 billion.

During 2Q11, Hertz announced that it had reached a definitive
agreement to acquire the Donlen Corporation (Donlen), a leading
provider of fleet leasing and management services for corporate
customers, for $930 million, including $250 million in cash and
the assumption of approximately $680 million of Donlen's
outstanding fleet debt.  Hertz expects the transaction to close in
3Q11 and be accretive to earnings immediately.  While the
acquisition increases Hertz's debt stack, overall, DBRS views the
acquisition positively as it will expand Hertz's product offering
to corporate customers offering yearly and multi-year
transportation options and further diversifies the revenue stream.
Moreover, Hertz anticipates refinancing Donlen's fleet debt at
improved financing terms benefiting from Hertz's well-established
presence in the asset-backed market.

The Under Review Developing reflects DBRS's view that the
potential acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.
(DTAG) is a long-term positive for Hertz and will further
strengthen the Company's overall franchise.  While DBRS notes that
there are certain uncertainties regarding this potential
transaction, including the lack of a signed definitive merger
agreement between the companies, the transaction would combine two
complementary businesses: Hertz with its strong presence in the
premium and corporate travel segment, and DTAG, with its solid
position in the value-oriented leisure travel segment.  Conversely
however, DBRS sees potential risks in this transaction especially
should the purchase price increase resulting in increased
leverage, which in turn would weaken the Company's financial
profile and be less accretive.  Furthermore, the review status
also considers DBRS's view that the upside potential offered by
the transaction may be muted should industry fundamentals
deteriorate.  Nonetheless, should the deal progress and the final
purchase price and financing composition become more certain, DBRS
will complete its review assessing the impact on Hertz's
franchise, risk profile, capital structure, and its earnings
generation ability.  Also, DBRS will continue to monitor the
structure of the purchase, the actual level of net debt incurred,
goodwill and the ultimate impact on leverage.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 29, 2011, Fitch Ratings has
upgraded the Issuer Default Rating to 'B-' from 'C'.
The upgrade of iStar's IDR is based on the improved liquidity
profile of the company, pro forma for the new senior secured
credit agreement (the new financing) that extends certain of the
company's debt maturities, relieving the overhang of significant
secured debt maturities in June 2011.

In July 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-
term counterparty credit rating on iStar Financial to 'CCC' from
'B-'.  The outlook is negative.  iStar's limited funding
flexibility and the severe credit quality deterioration in its
loan portfolio continue to put negative pressure on the rating,
S&P said.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22, 2011,
Standard & Poor's said that it raised its counterparty credit
rating on iStar Financial Inc. to 'B+' from 'CCC' and removed it
from CreditWatch where it was placed with positive implications on
Feb. 23.  The outlook is stable.

"The upgrade reflects the company's closing of a $2.95 billion
senior secured credit facility, which it will use to refinance the
company's existing secured bank facilities and repay a portion of
the company's unsecured debt," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Jeffrey Zaun.  If S&P's analysis of the new secured
facility indicates 100% or more collateral coverage, S&P will rate
the issue 'BB-'.  If S&P's analysis of collateral indicates less
than 100% coverage, S&P will rate the issue 'B+'.


JAMES RIVER: Reports Second Quarter Net Income of $789,000
----------------------------------------------------------
James River Coal Company filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q reporting
net income of $789,000 on $352.03 million of total revenue for the
three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with net income of
$19.85 million on $183.04 million of total revenue for the same
period a year ago.

The Company also reported a net loss of $6.81 million on $516.62
million of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared with net income of $43.09 million on $367.64 million of
total revenue for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $1.42 billion
in total assets, $974.64 million in total liabilities and $453.47
million in total shareholders' equity.

Peter T. Socha, chairman and chief executive officer commented in
a statement, "We are very pleased with our progress this quarter.
We completed the acquisition of International Resource Partners LP
and its subsidiary Logan & Kanawha in mid-April.  The integration
of these acquisitions has gone very well.  We also successfully
managed several positive changes to our balance sheet.  The mines
had a better quarter and are continuing to adjust to several
regulatory changes.  Lastly, we are beginning to see much more
sales and contracting activity in both Central Appalachia and the
Midwest."

Meanwhile, at the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held on June 21, 2011, the Company's shareholders voted, on an
advisory basis, in favor of holding future advisory votes on
executive compensation once every year.  After considering the
outcome of the advisory shareholder vote, the Company's Board of
Directors determined that, consistent with the results of the
shareholder advisory vote, the Company will hold future
shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual
basis until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of such an
advisory vote.

JEFFERSON, AL: Delays Chapter 9 Decision Until September
--------------------------------------------------------
Robert Daniel, MarketWatch's Middle East bureau chief, reports
that Jefferson County, Alabama, on Friday delayed for a month the
prospect of filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy reorganization.

According to MarketWatch, Jefferson County's five commissioners
rejected a proposed settlement with holders of more than $3.1
billion of the area's bonds and chose to try to reach a better
deal.  They had said they were ready to file under the bankruptcy
laws as soon as Friday.

MarketWatch, citing various reports, further relates the
commissioners said they would negotiate face to face with the
bondholders in hopes of reaching a better deal.

According to MarketWatch, the deal on the table would have seen
the bondholders cut the debt to less than $2.1 billion and avert a
Chapter 9 filing.  But it also would have raised sewer-system
rates 25% over 18 months.  In addition, under the proposal, an
independent agency would have taken over management of the sewer
system.

The Troubled Company Reporter, citing a report by Carla Main at
Bloomberg News, said on Aug. 11 that Commission President David
Carrington said the county won't extend a standstill agreement
that has allowed for talks with creditors to avoid a bankruptcy
filing over $3.1 billion of sewer-system debt.  The commission
sent creditors a counteroffer for renegotiating the debt on
Aug. 7.  It proposed 8% sewer-rate increases annually for three
years and 3% in each of the next two years, Commissioner Sandra
Little Brown said in an interview.

Commissioners had previously proposed raising rates at 7.8%
annually for three years, followed by 3% increases in two more to
help make payments that have strained its finances. Creditors
wanted 8% annually for five years, Ms. Little Brown has said.  Mr.
Carrington said the commission will vote either to file for
Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection or approve terms of an agreement
with creditors, which include JPMorgan Chase & Co. and bond
insurers Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. and Syncora Guarantee
Inc.

Mr. Carrington said the fact creditors had offered to shave
$1 billion from the $3.1 billion debt had done as much damage to
the county's reputation as a bankruptcy would.  He said any deal
struck before the Aug. 12 end of the standstill agreement would
begin a process that could last into next year.

The county would approve a term sheet that would have to be
crafted into an agreement, he said, and the Alabama Legislature
would have to approve changes needed to help Jefferson County
rebuild its finances.

Barnett Wright, writing for The Birmingham (Ala.) News, reported
that two Jefferson County officials said Tuesday the county is
asking creditors to erase $1.17 billion of its $3.14 billion sewer
debt and put up most of a relief fund for ratepayers who struggle
to pay sewer bills.  The report notes the amended proposal
modifies the county's original request that creditors write off
$1.3 billion of the debt.  According to the Birmingham News, the
new plan also asks creditors to provide $19 million of a $20
million indigent relief fund, with the county paying the remaining
amount.

MarketWatch notes The New York Times reported that Gov. Robert
Bentley had urged the commissioners not to file under the
bankruptcy laws because such a move could hurt the credit of the
whole state.

                     About Jefferson County

Jefferson County has its seat in Birmingham, Alabama.  It has a
population of 665,000.  The Los Angeles Times noted that more than
15% of the residents live under the poverty line.  Jefferson
County ended its 2006 fiscal year with a $42.6 million general
fund balance, according to Standard & Poor's.

Jefferson County is trying to restructure $3.2 billion in sewer
debt.  A bankruptcy by Jefferson County stands to be the largest
municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.  It could beat the record of
$1.7 billion set by Orange County, California in 1994.

In September 2010, Alabama Circuit Court Judge Albert Johnson
named John S. Young Jr. LLC as receiver for the sewer system.

Jefferson County has retained Kenneth Klee, Esq., at Klee Tuchin
Bogdanoff & Stern LLP to represent the county in the event of
bankruptcy.  Mr. Klee is considered to be a municipal-bankruptcy
expert, having handled Orange County, Calif.'s bankruptcy case in
1994.


JEFFERSON, AL: Commissioner Sees 80% Chance of Chapter 9 Vote
-------------------------------------------------------------
Margaret Newkirk and Simone Baribeau at Bloomberg News report that
there is an 80% chance that Jefferson County, Alabama, officials
will vote to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy Aug. 12, Commissioner
Sandra Little Brown said before the panel was set to meet to
consider the option.  Ms. Little Brown, one of five county
commissioners, had put the probability at "50-50."  She said her
concern grew because of parts of the creditors' settlement
proposal that would require that the county end all lawsuits
against banks and possibly criminal prosecutions.  "The
investigation needs to be ongoing," Ms. Little Brown said in the
hall outside of the commission offices.  Banks "all over America
have bad deals."

American Bankruptcy Institute reports that owners of Jefferson
County, Ala., sewer debt may offer to match or reduce three years
of 8% annual sewer-fee increases in a county plan to restructure
its bonds, according to the court-appointed receiver.

Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that holders of more than $3
billion in debt are about $100 million away from a deal to avert
the biggest municipal bankruptcy-protection filing in U.S.
history.

JEFFERSON, AL: Creditors Bid to Defuse $3.14 Bil. Debt Crisis
-------------------------------------------------------------
Melinda Dickinson and Matthew Bigg at Thomson Reuters report that
creditors made a fresh offer to defuse a $3.14 billion bond debt
crisis in Alabama's Jefferson County and prevent the largest
municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.

According to the report, Commissioner Joe Knight said the
creditors, who include JP Morgan Chase, failed to agree to the
figure set by the county for a reduction in its outstanding total
debt in a potential sticking point to a deal.

But they did meet -- and, in fact, exceed -- the county's request
that politically-sensitive annual increases in the level of sewer
rates be kept to a minimum, Mr. Knight said.

Reuters notes officials have confirmed the county wants roughly
$1.3 billion shaved off its debt along with an agreement that
sewer rates be raised by no more than about 10 percent annually.

The report relates that the county is engaged in talks ahead of an
executive meeting on Friday between the county's' five
commissioners and county attorneys about whether to continue with
negotiations or file for bankruptcy.

Commissioners say Friday's meeting is key because they will not
renew a "standstill" agreement started in July to facilitate talks
and set to expire.  Commission President David Carrington
cautioned against any expectations of a full deal and said the
best that can be hoped for by Friday if the county decides against
bankruptcy is an outline that would require further negotiations.

The report says Jefferson County has hired outside bankruptcy
counsel at Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff & Stern, the same law firm that
helped Orange County through its landmark bankruptcy.

KH FUNDING: Has Committee Backing for Exclusivity Until Aug. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
HK Funding Company, with the consent of the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Maryland to enter a sixth consent order (i) as to the
Creditors' Committee, extending the Debtor's exclusive periods for
filing and obtaining acceptance of a plan of reorganization
through and including Aug. 31, 2011, and Oct. 31, 2011; (ii)
continuing the Exclusive Periods in place as to all creditors and
parties-in-interest other than the Creditors' Committee, without
further extension, through and including Aug. 31, 2011, and Oct.
31, 2011.

The Debtor relates that it has made considerable progress toward
its goal of maximizing the value of its assets and preparing to
implement an orderly liquidation strategy.  The Debtor and the
Creditors' Committee are poised to file a plan after several
months of cooperative and productive effort to develop a strategy
for the orderly liquidation of KH Funding, according to Bradley J.
Swallow, Esq., at Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger &
Hollander, LLC, in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Debtor and the Creditors' Committee have reached a consensus
with respect to substantially all of the key elements of the Plan
and are in the process of negotiating with the indenture trustees
concerning the treatment under the Plan of the claims of certain
Series 3 and Series 4 noteholders, Mr. Swallow says.

The Debtor seeks an extension of the Exclusive Periods to enable
it and the Creditors' Committee to complete and file the Plan by
Aug. 31.  The Debtor is not seeking the extension to delay its
reorganization for a speculative event or to pressure creditors to
accede to a plan that is unacceptable to them, Mr. Swallow assures
the Court.

Judge Thomas J. Catliota had previously granted the Debtor's Fifth
Consent Motion for Order Extending the Exclusive Periods, noting
that the Creditors' Committee consents to the relief requested.
As to the Creditors' Committee, the Exclusive Filing Period was
extended through and including Aug. 1, 2011, and the Exclusive
Acceptance Period was extended through and including Oct. 31,
2011.

Pursuant to the Fifth Consent Order, the Exclusive Filing Period
and Exclusive Acceptance Period as to all creditors and interested
parties other than the Creditors' Committee will continue in place
without further extension through and including Aug. 31, 2011, and
Oct. 31, 2011.

LAX ROYAL: MSCI 2006 Says Plan Disclosures Lack Information
-----------------------------------------------------------
Secured creditor MSCI 2006-IQ11 West Century Limited Partnership
objected to the disclosure statement explaining LAX Royal Airport
Center, LP's proposed plan of reorganization.

MSCI 2006 says the Disclosure Statement "is utterly devoid of any
meaningful financial information or projections to substantiate
the proposed Plan payments or the feasibility of the Plan."

Representing the Lender, Sheri Kanesaka, Esq., at Bryan Cave LLP,
in Irvine, California, contended that the Debtor "is merely
attempting to buy time in the hopes that the Property's value will
appreciate significantly, while paying outrageously little to its
creditors but fully preserving the equity interest of its
insiders."

Although the Debtor fails to disclose financial projections with
any degree of detail, the documents of record in this case
"establish that the Debtor does not generate anywhere near enough
income to pay its expense, much less the payments proposed under
the Plan," Ms. Kanesaka noted.

The Disclosure Statement presents a "facially unconfirmable plan,"
Ms. Kanesaka asserted.  She maintains that the Lender should be
granted further relief from stay pursuant to Section 362(d)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

Even if the Plan could be confirmed, the Disclosure Statement
fails to provide "adequate information" of the kind and in
sufficient detail that would enable a hypothetical investor
typical of the holders of claims or interests of the relevant
class to make an informed judgment about the proposed Plan, Ms.
Kanesaka said.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Merrill Plea on Subordination Agreement Denied
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge James Peck denied a motion by Merrill Lynch Portfolio
Management Inc. and Merrill Lynch Capital Services Inc. to compel
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and a subsidiary to perform their
obligations under a subordination agreement.

Earlier, LBHI asked the bankruptcy judge to deny approval of the
motion, accusing the Merrill Lynch entities of advancing their
own interests at the expense of the bankruptcy estates and their
creditors.  The company also argued that the motion is
procedurally improper, pointing out that requests for certain
types of equitable relief must be made through an adversary
proceeding.

Lehman Brothers said Merrill impermissibly seeks to advance its
own parochial interests at the expense of the Debtors' bankruptcy
estates and their creditors by seeking to assert rights to which
it has no entitlement.

Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, contends that the Debtors have already consented to relief
from the automatic stay with respect to this matter in a prior
motion, in which Merrill sought relief to pursue its remedies in
state court in Florida.  Having obtained that relief by
stipulation, Merrill should not now be permitted to abandon the
Florida courts and return to this Court seeking to exercise
remedies more properly brought in state court, she argues.

Merrill's argument that the Debtors have an obligation under the
Subordination Agreement to release their security interests in
the Brampton Project is based on an interpretation of the
Subordination Agreement that is unsupported by the plain language
of that document and is contrary to the parties' intent, Ms.
Marcus asserts.  She argues that the Subordination Agreement
simply does not obligate the Debtors to release their security
interests.  She adds that the request is procedurally improper
because requests for certain types of equitable relief, including
specific performance, must be made through an adversary
proceeding.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: LBI Trustee Has Deal With Bank Leumi
-----------------------------------------------------
James W. Giddens, as trustee for the liquidation of the business
of Lehman Brothers Inc. under the Securities Investor Protection
Act of 1970, asks the Court to approve separate settlement
agreements with each of Bank Leumi le-Israel B.M. and Israel Bank
Ltd.

The settlement, the Trustee says, will result in his recovery of
approximately $80 million in estate property.  The settlement
was, the Trustee adds, a result of nearly 20 months of extensive
negotiation and reconciliation with IDB and Bank Leumi.

The settlement agreement between the Trustee and Bank Leumi
provides for Bank Leumi's release of any and all attachments by
Bank Leumi on LBI's accounts, securities, and other property held
at IDB.  The settlement agreement between the Trustee and IDB
provides for the transfer by IDB to the Trustee of all LBI's
securities, cash, and other property held at IDB following the
release of that attachment.  Upon performance of the each Bank's
obligations under the settlement Agreements, the Trustee will
withdraw his Contempt Motion as to each Bank.

In 2009, the Trustee filed the contempt motion against the banks
for alleged violation of the automatic stay by interfering in his
administration and property of the Debtor's estate.

According to the Trustee, the contempt motion was made to
preserve more than $100 million in LBI customer and estate
property improperly seized or set-off by the Banks pursuant to an
action commenced before an Israeli court upon an ex parte
attachment application of Bank Leumi, and a permanent attachment
order issued by that Israeli court at the request of Bank Leumi
and IDB in a settlement agreement entered into by them.

The Trustee alleged that the Banks' improper seizure and
conversion of LBI customer and estate property has interfered
with the Trustee's ability to take possession of LBI property and
to transfer customer property to former LBI customers and
otherwise effectively manage the LBI estate pursuant to Section
78fff(a) of Securities Investor Protection Act.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: RBS Opposes $345-Mil. Demand from LBI Trustee
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., formerly known as ABN AMRO Bank
N.V., asks the Court to dismiss the motion filed by James W.
Giddens, the trustee for the liquidation of Lehman Brothers Inc.,
asking RBS to pay more than $345 million.

Representing RBS, Martin J. Bienenstock, Esq., at Dewey & LeBoeuf
LLP, in New York, tells the Court that the LBI Trustee's Motion
to Compel attempts to obscure the real relief requested, namely,
contract damages of more than $345 million against RBS.

As reported in the July 15, 2011 edition of the TCR, James W.
Giddens is asking the Court for an order (i) enforcing the
automatic stay and stays in the order commencing liquidation of
LBI, and (ii) compelling payment for $345,938,625 in cash, plus
interest, to LBI owed by RBS N.V., acquirer of and successor-in-
interest to ABN AMRO Bank N.V.  The $347,501,344 amount
constitutes the net amount owed as a result of early termination
under the terms of a 1992 International Swap Dealers Association,
Inc. Master Agreement, dated as of March 16, 1998, between LBI and
ABN, which agreement covered currency exchange transactions
between LBI and ABN.  That amount has been reduced by $1,562,719,
which LBI understands to be ABN's calculation of funds due it
under certain securities lending transactions and underwriting.

This relief, Mr. Bienenstock asserts, must be requested by
complaint pursuant to Rule 7001(1) of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure.

Aside from the LBI Trustee's use of a contested matter being
plain wrong, it has clearly been done to prejudice RBS N.V. by
eliminating the applicability of the Part VII Bankruptcy Rules,
like Rule 7012, and short-circuiting discovery and RBS N.V.'s
rights under Article III of the United States Constitution,
Mr. Bienenstock further asserts.

If the Court will not dismiss the Motion to Compel, without
prejudice, RBS N.V. asks that the Court order that the Motion to
Compel be treated as a complaint in an adversary proceeding,
thereby rendering applicable Part VII of the Bankruptcy Rules.

The Court will convene a hearing on Aug. 17 to determine whether
the Motion to Compel will be dismissed or converted to an
adversary proceeding.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Denies Defrauding JPMorgan on $70-Bil. Advance
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., in a reply brief in further
support of its motion to dismiss the amended counterclaims of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained that neither the Asset
Purchase Agreement nor the "predictions" by LBHI's chief
financial officer, Ian Lowitt, and LBHI's Global Treasurer, Paolo
Tonucci, could amount to fraudulent misrepresentations.

LBHI sued JPMorgan early last year to recover the $8.6 billion
that the bank allegedly seized as collateral in the weeks
before Lehman filed for bankruptcy.  The bank allegedly
threatened to discontinue its services unless LBHI posted
excessive collateral.  The lawsuit came after an examiner who was
appointed to investigate LBHI's bankruptcy found colorable claims
against JPMorgan in connection with its demands for collateral,
which had direct impact on LBHI's liquidity pool.

As reported in the June 14, 2011 edition of the TCR, JPMorgan
opposed LBHI's motion to dismiss JPMorgan's amended counterclaims
asserting that those amended counterclaims tell "the true story of
how LBHI defrauded JPMorgan" into making a $70 billion advance to
Lehman Brothers Inc.

In the reply brief, representing LBHI, John B. Quinn, Esq., at
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, in Los Angeles,
California, pointed out that:

  (1) The APA was an actual signed contract purporting to set
      proposed terms for a future sale.  The question raised by
      the Amended Counterclaims is whether Barclays meant to
      comply with those terms in the future.  But under New York
      law, a fraudulent misrepresentation cannot be based on a
      claim that a party failed to accurately predict the future
      conduct of another.

  (2) The Court has already ruled, after extensive fact-finding,
      that the APA did not contain knowing misrepresentations
      about the terms of the deal, including the description of
      assets that would and would not be sold to Barclays.  That
      ruling, contained in the Sale Order and affirmed in the
      Rule 60(b) proceedings, is binding on JPMorgan.

  (3) JPMorgan has failed to plead facts demonstrating that
      Messrs. Lowitt and Tonucci knew their statements about
      Barclays "support[ing] LBI" that week were false.
      JPMorgan's general allegations about Lowitt and Tonucci
      being part of negotiations fall far short of establishing
      this element.

Mr. Quinn also asserted that JPMorgan also cannot establish
scienter for LBHI, a then-bankrupt entity operating on behalf of
its creditors, to commit a fraud that would leave LBHI exposed to
a multibillion dollar guaranty claim purportedly secured by
collateral held by JPMorgan.  All JPMorgan can state is that LBHI
wanted the Barclays Sale to go through but it cannot identify a
rational incentive for LBHI to want the sale to go through in the
manner alleged, i.e. by committing a fraud on a company holding
billions of dollars of its collateral purporting to secure the
very losses that would result from the supposed fraud, he noted.

These same issues, and others raised by LBHI, infect the
remaining counterclaims for fraudulent concealment, fraudulent
inducement, and aiding and abetting fraud, Mr. Quinn argued.
JPMorgan, he complained, also fails to plead the additional
elements of those claims, especially when it comes to
establishing that LBHI had a duty to disclose information to
JPMorgan.  After all, LBHI was not a party to any relevant
contract with JPMorgan and did not itself engage in any tri-party
repurchase transactions, he asserted.  The absence of a duty to
disclose only supports the fact that these claims, to the extent
they are valid, would have been against Barclays -- not LBHI --
if not for the releases contained in the settlements between
Barclays and JPMorgan, he further asserted.

A lawyer for JPMorgan said the claims of LBHI against the bank
must be decided by a district court and not by a bankruptcy
court.

In a court filing, Paul Vizcarrondo Jr., Esq., at Wachtell Lipton
Rosen & Katz, in New York, said the claims are "legally
indistinguishable from the state-law tortious-interference
counterclaim in Stern," referring to the Supreme Court case known
as Stern v. Marshall.

Mr. Vizcarrondo further said that LBHI's claims under the
Bankruptcy Code to avoid or recover pre-bankruptcy transfers and
alleged setoffs cannot be determined by a bankruptcy court,
pointing out that those claims are not different from other
Lehman claims that fall outside the claims-allowance process.

In court papers, LBHI countered that nothing in the Stern case
imposes a "blanket prohibition" against bankruptcy courts
deciding common law claims on a final basis.

"The Stern court left untouched the bankruptcy courts' authority
to enter final judgments on common law claims and claims arising
under the Bankruptcy Code if those claims stem from the
bankruptcy itself or would necessarily be resolved in the claims
allowance process," the company said.

LBHI and JPMorgan submitted court papers on the issue of whether
the Stern case requires the lawsuit to be in federal district
court upon instruction from Judge James Peck of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, who
oversees the lawsuit.

Assuming the lawsuit remains in bankruptcy court, a trial is not
scheduled until August 2012.  Both sides have the right to file
motions in April to dispose of the suit one way or the other if
there are sufficient undisputed facts so a trial is not required,
according to an August 8, 2011 report by Bloomberg News

LBHI filed an $8.6 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan early last
year to recover billions of dollars that the bank allegedly
seized as collateral.  JPMorgan, which served as LBHI's main
clearing bank in the 2008 financial crisis, allegedly threatened
to discontinue its services unless the company posted excessive
collateral.

In a related development, Judge Peck signed off the revised
scheduling order, which sets a timetable for the conduct of
investigation and the filing of court papers in connection with
the lawsuit.  A full- text copy of the order is available without
charge at:

LEHMAN BROTHERS: LBI Trustee Says Citi Should Repay $1-Bil.
-----------------------------------------------------------
James Giddens, the trustee overseeing the liquidation of
Lehman Brothers Inc., maintained that Citigroup Inc. must repay
the $1 billion that it seized from the brokerage since it is not
protected by so-called "safe harbor" law governing securities
transactions.

The statement came after Citigroup and its subsidiaries called
for the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by the trustee, arguing
that the safe harbor provisions protect the $1 billion setoff.

Mr. Giddens sued Citigroup to recover the funds, which LBI posted
as collateral to ensure that Citibank N.A. would continue
providing clearing services for the brokerage firm's foreign
exchange transactions.  The funds were deposited with Citibank as
security for any resulting exposure to LBI.  When LBI, however,
requested the return of the funds, Citibank said it had set the
deposit off against other obligations owed by the brokerage firm
to the bank.

Mr. Giddens further said that the proposed dismissal of his
lawsuit must be denied since the arguments raised by Citigroup
are "fact intensive and cannot be ruled upon without proper
development of the evidence."

In a separate filing, the LBI Trustee and the Citibank Entities
entered into a confidentiality stipulation and protective order
to protect the confidentiality of sensitive information contained
in materials to be exchanged during the discovery period of the
adversary proceeding.

LYMAN LUMBER: Aug. 25 Bid Protocol Hearing Set; Buyer Offers $22MM
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court will hold a hearing at 10:00 a.m. on Aug. 25,
2011, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to consider approval of procedures
that will govern the sale of Lyman Lumber Company and its
affiliates' assets.

When they filed for bankruptcy, the Debtors had in hand a term
sheet with SP Asset Management, LLC, a unit of Steel Partners
Holdings L.P., to serve as stalking horse bidder for the assets.
New York City-based Steel Partners is a diversified holding
company that owns and operates businesses in a variety of
industries.

The cash portion of the Steel Partners deal is $22 million subject
to a positive or negative dollar-for-dollar working capital
adjustment and reduction by the outstanding amount of all assumed
obligations secured by mortgages.

The Term Sheet contemplates the sale of certain "Acquisition
Assets" including (a) assets used in Minnesota and Wisconsin
operations, (b) certain contracts and leases to be designated by
the Stalking Horse, (c) real property developed by Lyman
Development and Lyman Properties, (d) foreclosed real property of
Construction Mortgage Investors Co., (e) loan receivables of
Construction Mortgage Investors Co., and (f) proceeds from certain
litigation claims realized by the Debtors.

The Stalking Horse will also assume only these liabilities: (a)
all ordinary course accounts payable; (b) liabilities arising
after closing under so-called "Designated Contracts and Leases"
that will be identified in the asset purchase agreement -- with
cure costs to be paid by the Debtors; and (c) liabilities secured
by mortgages on real estate where the Acquisition Assets.

The Steel Partners' deal won't include the Debtors' businesses
located in Washington State as well as some other assets in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.  The Debtors will bring
separate motions to address the sale or other disposition of these
assets.

At the Aug. 25 hearing, the Debtors will ask the Court to:

     -- establish the deadline for submitting competing bids;
     -- schedule the auction date;
     -- schedule a further hearing to approve the sale or sales
        and rejection or assumption and assignment of contracts
        and leases.

Objections and responses to the procedure sale procedures are due
Aug. 20.

The closing will occur as soon as practicable and permitted based
on Bankruptcy Court orders.  However, the Term Sheet provides that
in the event that the sale transaction with the Stalking Horse is
not closed within 75 days after the entry of the order approving
the Bidding Procedures, the Stalking Horse will have the option to
terminate the sale transaction and be entitled to immediate
reimbursement of expenses, subject to a $750,000 cap.

In addition, if the Debtors do not consummate the sale with the
Stalking Horse through no fault of the Stalking Horse, then the
Stalking Horse will be entitled to a break-up fee and immediate
payment of the Expense Reimbursement in an aggregate amount not to
exceed the Cap.

The Debtors said the Steel Partners deal will save roughly 775
jobs held by current employees.

On Feb. 12, 2009, the Debtors completed a global restructuring,
recapitalization, and refinancing.  The Debtors operated after the
Restructuring under a series of more restrictive credit agreements
with their lender bank group, ultimately resulting in the Tenth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated Jan. 27, 2011.

Because the Tenth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement greatly
reduced the Debtors' borrowing capacity, contained numerous
covenants designed to encourage the Debtors to refinance their
borrowing, and matured after six months, the Debtors immediately
began to seek loans from new lenders, both traditional and non-
traditional.  From February 2011 through June 2011, the Debtors
met with numerous potential lenders but could not find a lender
that was agreeable to terms that made the Debtors economically
viable.

In June 2011, the Debtors, upon consultation with their Boards of
Directors and advisors decided to evaluate all options for the
Debtors, including marketing the Debtors and their assets for sale
on a going concern basis to maximize value of the assets for the
benefit of all of the creditors. It was contemplated that the sale
of the Debtors and their assets would be consummated through a
sale in bankruptcy. The Debtors engaged BGA Management, LLC d/b/a
Alliance Management to develop and execute a sale process and
marketing strategy for the Debtors' assets on an expedited basis
in order to maximize the value for the benefit of the Debtors'
stakeholders and constituents.

As of August 4, 2011, the Debtors owed their Prepetition Lenders
roughly $19,027,000.

MARCAL PAPER: NexBank Escapes $7MM Judgment in Orix Contract Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pete Brush at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a Texas appeals court
reversed a $7 million judgment in favor of Orix Finance Corp. on
Thursday, ruling the financier didn't prove it had suffered any
loss in its contract suit against NexBank SSB over money lent to
Marcal Paper Mills Inc.

According to Law360, the appeals court's ruling reversed the 68th
Judicial District Court, which found in 2010 that Orix had been
damaged when NexBank, a Dallas-based private banker, accepted
equity in exchange for the balance owed on a $50 million second
lien term loan issued to Marcal.

Based in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, Marcal Paper Mills Inc. --
http://www.marcalpaper.com/-- was a privately-held business of
producing finished paper products.  It filed for chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 06-21886) on Nov. 30, 2006.

Attorneys at Andora & Romano, LLC; Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman &
Leonard, P.A.; Windels, Marx, Lane & Mittendorf, LLP; Lowenstein
Sandler PC; and Charles V. Bonin, Esq., represent the Debtor as
counsel.  The Debtors selected Logan and Company Inc. as claims
agent.  In its schedules filed with the Court, the
Debtor disclosed total assets of $178,626,436 and total debts of
$178,890,725.


MASHANTUCKET PEQUOT: Bottom Bondholders Could Lose 65% in Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Spector, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reports that
people familiar with the matter said the Mashantucket Pequot
Tribal Nation, which owns Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard,
Conn., has been trading legal documents with banks and
bondholders, including Bank of America Corp., this summer in the
hopes of clinching a deal to restructure more than $2 billion in
debt the tribe can no longer afford.

According to the Journal, people familiar with the matter say the
Pequots' debt restructuring is the largest among Indian tribes
that run casinos in the U.S.  Sources told the Journal that in the
deal under discussion:

     -- the tribe's debt burden would remain high, at about
        $1.5 billion;

     -- creditors would, for the most part, avoid huge losses.
        The deal would give creditors new debt with more-lenient
        repayment terms and earmark some cash for the tribe;

     -- lenders led by Bank of America and Wells Fargo & Co. would
        exchange roughly $650 million on a credit line due last
        year for two new loans that would together total that
        amount. One would come due in five years and the other in
        seven years, with interest rates of about 6% and 8%,
        respectively.

     -- a group of senior bondholders who are owed about
        $550 million would get new debt in that amount not due
        for 13 years, paying interest around 6%;

     -- bondholders behind them owed $380 million would get new
        debt worth about 72% of their original investment, due in
        roughly 18 years;

     -- bondholders owed $575 million at the bottom of the tribe's
        debt waterfall would get $193 million or so in new debt, a
        loss of more than 65%. It wouldn't mature for 23 years;
        and

     -- the latter two groups of bondholders would also get a
        "residual cash right" -- a security giving them the right
        to receive more cash should business at Foxwoods improve
        enough over time.

The Journal notes the tribe owes about $21 million to Kien Huat, a
company that traces roots to the tribe's first lender, a late
Malaysian gambling mogul. The tribe hopes to eliminate a special
provision paying Kien Huat more than $8 million a year on top of
normal debt payments.

The Journal says representatives for Kien Huat couldn't be reached
for comment.

The Journal relates creditors had little choice but to make
concessions because normal restructuring rules don't apply to
Indian casinos.  The Pequots are a sovereign nation under federal
law, a recognition they received from the government in 1983.
According to the Journal, many experts say that status prevents
them from being forced into bankruptcy protection.  And only
tribes can operate casinos on Indian reservations under federal
law, preventing creditors from seizing Foxwoods's assets and
selling them off as they might with other defaulting borrowers.

If investors thought the Pequot matter "was resolved in a manner
that was reasonable, fair or appropriate, that might, to some
degree, alleviate concerns about lending to tribes," said Keith
Foley, a senior vice president at Moody's Investors Service who
isn't privy to the deal discussions, the Journal says.

People familiar with the matter told the Journal the tribe and
creditors are further along in negotiations than at any point
since its debt crisis arose two years ago.

"We hope that this is certainly done by the end of the year," said
Scott Butera, chief executive of Foxwoods, in an interview,
according to the Journal.  Mr. Butera joined Foxwoods November
last year after his stint with Tropicana Entertainment Inc.

The Journal also notes that other cash-strapped tribes have
reached deals to restructure debts tied to casinos.  The tribe
running Mohegan Sun, a Foxwoods competitor in Connecticut, hopes
to refinance a chunk of its $1.6 billion in debt in the coming
months.


MCCLATCHY CO: BNP Paribas Discloses 6.6% Equity Stake
-----------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, BNP Paribas,S.A.,London Branch, disclosed
that it beneficially owns 3,962,364 shares of common stock of
The McClatchy Company representing 6.6% of the shares outstanding.
As reported by the TCR on June 1, 2011, BNP Paribas disclosed
beneficial ownership of 5.3% of the shares outstanding.  A full-

                     About The McClatchy Company

Sacramento, Calif.-based The McClatchy Company  (NYSE: MNI)
-- http://www.mcclatchy.com/-- is the third largest newspaper
company in the United States, publishing 30 daily newspapers, 43
non-dailies, and direct marketing and direct mail operations.
McClatchy also operates leading local websites in each of its
markets which extend its audience reach.  The websites offer users
comprehensive news and information, advertising, e-commerce and
other services.  Together with its newspapers and direct marketing
products, these interactive operations make McClatchy the leading
local media company in each of its premium high growth markets.
McClatchy-owned newspapers include The Miami Herald, The
Sacramento Bee, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Kansas City
Star, The Charlotte Observer, and The News & Observer (Raleigh).

The Company's balance sheet at March 27, 2011, showed
$3.04 billion in total assets, $2.82 billion in total liabilities,
and $220.13 million in stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

In February 2010, Moody's Investors Service upgraded The McClatchy
Company's Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from Caa2, Probability
of Default Rating to Caa1 from Caa2, and senior unsecured and
unguaranteed note ratings to Caa2 from Caa3, concluding the review
for upgrade initiated on January 27, 2010.  The upgrades reflect
McClatchy's improved liquidity position and reduced near-term
default risk following completion of the company's refinancing,
and its ability to stabilize EBITDA performance through
significant cost reductions.  The rating outlook is stable.

In the May 12, 2011, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Sacramento,
Calif.-based The McClatchy Co. to 'B-' from 'B'.  "The downgrade
reflects our expectation that continued declines in advertising
revenues will outweigh the company's cost reduction measures,
resulting in steadily rising debt leverage over the intermediate
term despite some modest debt reduction that will likely occur
over the near term," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Harold
Diamond.  The 'B-' corporate credit rating on Sacramento, Calif.-
based McClatchy reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that
advertising revenues will decline at a high-single-digit% rate in
2011, and EBITDA will fall at a mid-double-digit pace.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 8, 2011,
Fitch Ratings has upgraded the Issuer Default Rating of the
McClatchy Company to 'B-'.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.  The
revenue declines endured by McClatchy in 2010 were materially
lower than Fitch's expectation.  Fitch had modeled declines in the
mid-teens versus actual declines in the mid-single digits.  While
Fitch expected the company to focus on cost containment, the
company's success exceeded Fitch expectations.  Fitch had expected
EBITDA to decline more than 10% versus actual EBITDA growth in the
mid-single digits.  As a result absolute debt and leverage were
better than Fitch expectations.  Fitch estimates 2010 year end
gross unadjusted leverage of approximately 4.7 times.  Fitch
expects the company will be able to meet its pension funding
obligations and satisfy all of its maturities up to and including
its senior unsecured notes due in 2014 ($169 million balance as of
Sept. 30, 2010).  Also, Fitch does not expect McClatchy will have
any issues meeting its credit agreement financial covenants (under
both Fitch's base and stress cases).


MEDIMEDIA USA: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'CCC+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term corporate
credit rating on Yardley, Pa.-based MediMedia USA Inc. to 'CCC+'
from 'B'.

"At the same time, we lowered our rating on the company's senior
secured credit facility to 'B' from 'BB-'. In addition, we lowered
our rating on MediMedia's senior subordinated notes to 'CCC-' from
'CCC+'. The recovery ratings on the debt are unchanged," S&P
related.

Finally, Standard & Poor's placed all of its ratings on MediMedia
on CreditWatch with developing implications.

"The ratings reflect pharmaceuticals marketing services firm
MediMedia's weak business risk profile and much weaker-than-
expected operating performance, which has resulted in its need to
seek covenant relief," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Jeanne Shoesmith. "Furthermore, the ratings reflect our
significant concerns about ongoing weakness in MediMedia's
pharmaceutical marketing business. We view the company's business
risk profile as weak, based on its small, niche position in health
education and services. We also view its financial profile as
highly leveraged. MediMedia's adjusted debt to EBITDA was 7.1x as
of March 31, 2011, consistent with the greater-than-5x leverage
that characterizes a highly leveraged financial risk profile under
our criteria."


MGM RESORTS: Files Form 10-Q, Reports $3.4-Bil. Net Income in Q2
----------------------------------------------------------------
MGM Resorts International filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q reporting
net income of $3.45 billion on $1.80 billion of revenue for the
three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of
$883.47 million on $1.54 billion of revenue for the same period
during the prior year.

The Company also reported net income of $3.36 billion on
$3.31 billion of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $980.21 million on $3.01 billion of
revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed
$27.21 billion in total assets, $17.17 billion in total
liabilities, and $10.04 billion in total stockholders' equity.

A full-text copy of the Form 10-Q is available for free at:

                         About MGM Resorts

MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) --
http://www.mgmresorts.com/-- has significant holdings in gaming,
hospitality and entertainment, owns and operates 15 properties
located in Nevada, Mississippi and Michigan, and has 50%
investments in four other properties in Nevada, Illinois and
Macau.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.44 billion on $6.01 billion
of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $1.29 billion on $5.97 billion of revenue during the prior
year.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 18, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
MGM Resorts to stable from developing.  At the same time, S&P
affirmed all of its existing ratings on MGM, including the 'CCC+'
corporate credit rating.

The 'CCC+' corporate credit rating reflects MGM's significant debt
burden, S&P's expectation for meaningful declines in cash flow
generation in 2010, and the company's weak liquidity position.
While MGM maintains a leading presence on the Las Vegas Strip,
2010 will be another challenging year for the Strip, and prospects
for a meaningful rebound in 2011 are uncertain.  The recent
pricing of the primary offering of common stock has bolstered
liquidity; however, the company's ability to weather the current
downturn and continue to service its debt obligations over the
longer term relies on continued progress toward addressing its
challenging debt maturity schedule, as well as a substantial
rebound in cash flow generation.

The TCR also reported that Fitch Ratings revised the Rating
Outlook for MGM Resorts to Positive following the company's equity
issuance.  In addition, Fitch affirmed the Issuer
Default Rating at 'CCC'.  MGM's 'CCC' IDR continues to reflect a
credit profile with substantial credit risk.  MGM's probability of
default still displays a high sensitivity to an uninterrupted
recovery in the Las Vegas market, significant reliance on a
favorable refinancing and capital markets environment due to its
heavy debt maturity schedule, a highly leveraged balance sheet
despite potential debt reduction from the equity issuance, and a
weak near-term free cash profile.  In addition, MGM's obligation
under the CityCenter completion guarantee continues to escalate,
and Fitch believes the company is currently under-investing in its
properties, which will likely impact asset quality.

As reported by the TCR on March 4, 2011, Moody's upgraded MGM
Resorts International's Corporate Family rating to B3 and its
Probability of Default rating to Caa1.  The upgrade reflects signs
of modest improvement in demand trends in Las Vegas, debt
repayment during 2010 from the proceeds of equity issuances, and
completion of a new multi-year financing package for CityCenter
(MGM's 50% owned project on the Las Vegas Strip.)

MONEY TREE: Incurs $4.4 Million Net Loss in June 25 Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Money Tree Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $4.41 million on $2.38 million of interest and fee income for
the three months ended June 25, 2011, compared with a net loss of
$2.33 million on $2.84 million of interest and fee income for the
same period a year ago.

The Company also reported a net loss of $11.88 million on $7.06
million of interest and fee income for the nine months ended
June 25, 2011, compared with a net loss of $7.30 million on $9.23
million of interest and fee income for the same period during the
prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 25, 2011, showed $34.86
million in total assets, $92.65 million in total liabilities and a
$57.79 million total shareholders' deficit.

The Company has experienced significant liquidity issues over the
past two years due to significant loan and operating losses and
the lack of net sales in the Company's debt offerings.  Because of
the Company's liquidity issues and the current economic
environment, to preserve cash, the Company significantly reduced
the volume of loans made and implemented tighter risk management
controls on the loans extended beginning in fiscal year 2009,
which continued through June 25, 2011.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.  Consequently, the Company's operations and other
sources of funds may not provide sufficient available cash flow to
meet the Company's continued redemption obligations if the amount
of redemptions continues at its current pace or the Company
continues to suffer losses and use funds from operations to fund
redemptions.

advertising rebound in our markets and Nexstar's effectiveness in
driving new-to-television local direct billings drove our seventh
consecutive quarter of core television advertising revenue growth.
The 4.3% rise in core ad revenue growth, 22.5% increases in e-
Media revenue and 18.4% gain in retransmission fee revenue offset
the reduction in political revenue and led to record second
quarter net revenue and EBITDA."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 30, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Nexstar Broadcasting Group to 'B' from 'B-'.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating reflects S&P's expectation that
Nexstar's core ad revenue will continue growing modestly in 2010
and 2011," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Deborah Kinzer.
The EBITDA growth resulting from the rebound in core advertising,
combined with political ad revenue from the 2010 midterm
elections, should, in S&P's view, enable Nexstar to reduce its
leverage significantly by the end of the year.


NORTEL NETWORKS: Seeks to Employ EFC as Special Irish Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nortel Networks Inc. and its debtor-affiliates seek to employ the
law firm Eugene F. Collins, as their special Irish counsel in

including the Debtors, are collectively referred to as "Nortel" --
and certain of their Canadian affiliates commenced a proceeding
with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under the Companies'
Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), seeking relief from their
creditors.  Ernst & Young Inc. was appointed by the Canadian Court
as Monitor.

Also on the Petition Date, the High Court of England and Wales

claim on behalf of NN Ireland for $291,169,949.  The Amended Claim

including:

     * Provide advice and guidance to the Debtors that will allow
       them to evaluate the EMEA Claims;

     * Support Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, the Debtors'
       general bankruptcy counsel, in evaluating the EMEA Claims;
       and

     * Provide representation to assist Cleary Gottlieb in
       developing strategies to address the EMEA Claims.

In performing these services, Eugene F. Collins has instructed an
external barrister to act as a testifying expert witness for the
Debtors in connection with the EMEA Claims Objection.

The Debtors and the Firm have agreed to these hourly rates:

          Partners                                  Euro400
          Associates, junior attorneys     Euro70 - Euro250

Value Added Tax will be added to the rates, if applicable, at a
rate of 21%.  The Firm will also seek reimbursement of expenses.

the Debtors, their creditors, their insiders, their shareholders,
their attorneys or accountants, or any other parties-in-interest
in any matters relating to the Debtors and their estates, the
Debtors inform the Court.

in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA: Asks Court for More Time to File Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Carla Main at Bloomberg News reports that The Philadelphia
Orchestra asked the court to extend the time when it may be the
only one to file a reorganization plan.  The orchestra, in its
first request for an extension, asked to have until Nov. 12 to
file a plan and until Jan. 12 to solicit support for it.

According to the report, the orchestra said in court papers that
"revenues and going concern value have steadily declined over the
past several years like countless performing arts enterprises."
Since the Chapter 11 filing, the orchestra has "made significant
progress in administering" the Chapter 11 case, it said.  More
time is needed because resolving employee benefits and union
contracts will require "intense and lengthy negotiations," the
orchestra said.

Philadelphia, Inc., and Encore Series, Inc., filed separate
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. E.D. Pa. Case Nos. 11-13098 to
11-13100) on April 16, 2011.  Judge Eric L. Frank presides over
the case.  The Philadelphia Orchestra Association is being advised
by Dilworth Paxson LLP, its legal counsel, and Alvarez & Marsal,
its financial advisor.  Curley, Hessinger & Johnsrud serves as its
special counsel.  In its petition, Philadelphia
Orchestra estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and
debts.

Encore Series, Inc., tapped EisnerAmper LLP as accountants and
financial advisors.

seven members to the official committee of unsecured creditors in
the Debtors' case.  Reed Smith LLP serves as the Committee's

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

U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona to employ Doris
Parker of Creative Hospitality Investment Consulting as an expert
witness on behalf of the Debtor for an evidentiary hearing.  Ms.
Parker will be retained as an "as needed consultant."

Ms. Parker will charge the Debtor her typical $350 hourly rate for
services plus full payment of related, out-of-pocket expenses.

The Debtor believes that assumption of a certain management
agreement is in the best interests of creditors and the estate and
must present evidence to the Court to support this belief.  The
Debtor relies on Ms. Parker's extensive experience and background
in the hospitality industry that give her requisite knowledge to
testify to the quality of the management services and appropriate
management fees provided by Transwest Properties, Inc.

The Debtors believes that it must retain Transwest Properties as
property manager in order to successfully reorganize.

Regal Entertainment carries 'B1' corporate family and probability
of default ratings from Moody's Investors Service, 'B+' issuer
default rating from Fitch Ratings, and 'B+' corporate credit
rating from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.

Moody's said in February 2011 that Regal's B1 CFR reflects the
trade-offs between the relative stability and the small magnitude
of the company's cash flow stream.  With no change expected in
either parameter, and with very good liquidity, the rating outlook
is stable.

S&P said in February that the rating reflects S&P's view that the
company's aggressive financial policies will likely cause leverage
to remain elevated over the intermediate term.  Furthermore,
Regal's revenue and EBITDA trends are highly dependent on the
performance of the U.S. box office.  Other rating factors include
the company's participation in the mature and highly competitive
U.S. movie exhibition industry, exposure to the fluctuating
popularity of Hollywood films, and the long-term risk of increased
competition from the proliferation of entertainment alternatives.

       the Office of the U.S. Trustee as they pertain to the

     * advising the Debtor with regard to certain rights and
       remedies of its bankruptcy estate and the rights, claims,

current hourly rates are:

               Attorneys             $275 - $595

The Debtor paid a sum of $26,039 to Levene Neale before the
Petition Date in connection with preparing for and commencing the
Debtor's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case and in contemplation of the
Debtor's case.  The Retainer was paid pursuant to a capital
contribution made to the Debtor from Redhawk Communities, Inc.,
which transferred the sum directly to Levene Neale.  The Debtor is
wholly owned by Redhawk Communities.

The unused portion of the Retainer remaining at the time of the
Debtor's bankruptcy filing is an advanced fee payment retainer,
which will be maintained by Levene Neale in a segregated trust
account.  To assist Levene Neale in its own cash flow needs, the
Debtor also asks the Court for authority to draw down against the
remaining Retainer on a postpetition basis for all fees and
expenses incurred by the firm during this Chapter 11 case.

Levene Neale does not believe that its concurrent representations,
past representations, and potential future concurrent
representations of the Debtor's affiliates and the Debtor create
any conflict of interest for the firm or prevent it from
representing the Debtor in an unbiased and professional manner.

According to Levene Neale, if any dispute arises between the
Debtor and Redhawk Communities related to a certain loan, the firm
will not represent any of these parties in connection with their
disputes, or with regard to any other claims between and among
these affiliates.  Levene Neale informs the Court that it will not
represent any party other than the Debtor in connection with this
Chapter 11 case.

Levene Neale disclosed that Todd A. Frealy, a partner at the firm,
is a panel trustee for the Central District of California,
Riverside Division.  The Debtor does not anticipate that Mr.
Frealy will provide any services to the Debtor.

Based on the declaration of Ron Bender, Esq., a managing partner
of Levene Neale, the firm does not hold or represent any interest
materially adverse to the Debtor or its estate.  Levene Neale
attests that it is a disinterested person as the term is defined
in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

failure of [the] Debtor's principals to cooperate with the Sale
Process jeopardizes the value preserved for the Debtor's estate
and creditors by the Sale Process," John W. McClelland, Esq., at
Armstrong Teasdale LLP, in Kansas City, Missouri, contends.

Mr. McClelland adds that unless prompt action is taken, the
Debtor's estate and creditors "face substantial, and completely
preventable, losses."

On Aug. 13, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order finding
that three proposed plans of reorganization put forth by the
Debtor were not confirmable and that the Debtor did not have a
reasonable possibility of confirming a plan of reorganization in a
reasonable time.  The Aug. 13, 2010 Order also granted Textron
Financial relief from stay to proceed with foreclosure against all
of the real property of the Debtor in the Riley County District
Court.

Having consulted with numerous real estate professionals
concerning the best method of disposition of the Property as well
as with counsel for the Debtor, CoreFirst Bank and other
significant creditors, Textron Financial proposed an agreement
relating to a Section 363 sale process.  The Debtor, however, has
failed and refused to proceed with the Sale Process, Mr.
McClelland says.

Mr. McClelland asserts that (i) the Debtor's poor performance
establishes a basis to appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee; (ii) the
Debtor's failure to pay tax obligations establishes cause to
appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee; and (iii) the Debtor's conduct
requires immediate appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee.

Mr. McClelland relates that the Debtor's counsel has informed
Textron Financial that the "Debtor will refuse to authorize the
filing of the motion for the Sale Process unless TFC releases each
of the Debtor's principals from the judgments entered against them
on their personal guaranties."

The Sale Process under Section 363 provides significant benefits
to the Debtor's estates, Mr. McClelland tells the Court.  Any
concern regarding the attendant costs of an appointment of a
Chapter 11 Trustee should be minimal given the substantial value
that would be lost if the sales process were not conducted.  He
maintains that the Sale Process, sale procedures, and the support
of the secured creditors is the "only avenue" open to achieve
going concern value for the Debtor's Property.

Roca, Nebraska-based RIM Development, LLC, sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Kan. Case No. 10-10132) on Jan. 22, 2010.
Susan G. Saidian, Esq., at Case, Moses, Zimmerman and Martin,
P.A., in Wichita, Kansas, represents the company.  The Debtor
disclosed $20.2 million in assets and $11.6 million in liabilities
in its Amended Schedules of Assets and Liabilities delivered to
the Bankruptcy Court in March 2010.


RIO RANCHO: Seeks Determination of Value of Property
----------------------------------------------------
To enable it to properly characterize and treat claims and liens
against its property, Rio Rancho Super Mall, LLC asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California for an
order:

   (i) Determining the value of the Debtor's property commonly
       known as the Rio Rancho Super Mall located at 25073 -
       25211 Sunnymead Boulevard, Moreno Valley, California, to
       be not less than $8,060,000, as of the Petition Date; and

  (ii) Determining the priority and status of alleged liens on
       the Property.

The Debtor owns, manages, and operates the Property that is
utilized as an indoor swap-meet and retail mall.  The Property
comprises approximately 100,000 square feet of space that
accommodates up to 87 commercial tenants.

The rents derived from the operation of the Property are the
Debtor's primary source of income.  The Debtor presently has 63
retail tenants who are supposed to be paying an aggregate total
monthly rent of $109,343.  However, due to the current economic
downturn and recession, many tenants are experiencing financial
hardship and are unable to make full or timely rent payments.  The
Debtor's monthly income dramatically declined, requiring it to
seek Chapter 11 protection, Thomas E. Kent, Esq., at The Law
Offices of Lee & Kent, in Los Angeles, California, relates.

The Property was appraised twice.  On April 14, 2011, Tupper W.
Lienke, MAI of Hampstead Appraisal Company, on behalf of the
Debtor, appraised the Property, concluding that the "As Is" Fee
Simple Value of the Property as of April 14 was $7,900,000.  On
June 14, 2011, the Property was appraised by Christopher Chen of
Crest Consulting, LLC, on behalf of Wilshire State Bank,
concluding that the "As Is" Market Value of the Property as of
June 7 was $8,060,000.

Based on the Lienke Declaration, the differential in valuation
between the Lienke Appraisal and the WSB Appraisal is most likely
due to minor differences in interpreting and analyzing market
data.  Mr. Lienke states that a 10% margin of error is within
industry standards in commercial appraisals and that the WSB
Appraisal is well within the margin of error.

The Debtor has decided to accept the WSB Appraisal and the "As Is"
valuation of the Property as being $8,060,000, based upon the
conclusions of its appraiser Mr. Lienke, that the WSB Appraisal is
accurate.

The Debtor purchased the Property for $8,900,000 in 2005.  The
appraised value of the Property is more than $2,000,000 less than
the aggregate amount of alleged liens.  The Debtor is indebted to
Wilshire State Bank, among others, pursuant to a certain secured
promissory noted, dated Apr. 6, 2006, in the original principal
amount of $10,422,000.  WSB has filed a purported secured proof of
claim for $9,995,393 based on the WSB Loan Documents.  The Debtor
does not dispute the validity or amount of the WSB Claim; however,
the Debtor disputes the fact that the WSB Claim is fully secured.

Seeing that the value of the Property was no greater than
$8,060,000 as of the Petition Date, even assuming arguendo that
WSB is owed the full amount of its claim, it cannot pursuant to
Section 506(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code hold a secured claim
valued in excess of the value of the Property, Mr. Kent points
out.

As a consequence and in order for the Debtor to property
categorize and treat the alleged liens and encumbrances in its
plan of reorganization, Mr. Kent says that it is necessary for the
Court to grant the relief requested.

The Debtor also asks the Court to determine the status of these
claims to be:

     * Riverside County Tax Collector -- secured claim;

     * WSB -- partially secured to the extent of the value of the
       Property and partially unsecured claim for the balance;

     * Pacific City Bank -- general unsecured;

     * Saehan Bank -- general unsecured;

     * BFG Company -- general unsecured;

     * Butterfield Valley Partners -- general unsecured; and

     * Lamar Advertising -- general unsecured.

Moreno Valley, California-based Rio Rancho Supermall, LLC, owns,
manages and operates a commercial property known as the Rio Rancho
Super Mall that is utilized as an indoor swap-meet and retail
mall.  It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. C.D.
Calif. Case No. 11-16835) on March 2, 2011.  Thomas E. Kent, Esq.,
who has an office in Los Angeles, California, serves as the
Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.  The Debtor disclosed $7,691,584 in
assets and $12,253,866 in debts as of the Chapter 11 filing.


RQB RESORT: Sawgrass Marriott May Face Competing Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
Carla Main at Bloomberg News reports that Sawgrass Marriot Resort
faces a challenge to its status as the lone party in the
bankruptcy that may file a reorganization plan.  Marriott
International Inc. on Aug. 10 asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Jacksonville, Florida, to terminate the resort's exclusivity and
give the hotel franchisor permission to file its own plan.

According to the report, Marriott International said, "The
bankruptcy case has gone on too long and cost too much money."
Allowing Marriott International to sponsor a plan "will equitably
fulfill the purpose behind" the right of first refusal in its
franchise agreement with Sawgrass and avoid a $10 million damage
claim against the resort for breaching the provision, Marriott
International said in court papers.  Marriott International said
in a filing that it will bring a motion to compel the resort to
assume or reject the franchise agreement.

Separately, the resort, the report relates, on Aug. 11 obtained
for the sixth time court permission to continue using cash
collateral, subject to certain limitations.

Sawgrass can use the cash for a 13-week period ending Nov. 25,
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Paul M. Glenn wrote in an order.

Goldman Sachs Mortgage Co., the resort's lender, was granted
"additional security interests and liens" against Sawgrass,
Judge Glenn said, according to the report.

SAVANNAH OUTLET: Court Temporarily Denies Case Dismissal Plea
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Georgia
denied, on an interim basis, Comm 2006-C8 Gateway Boulevard LP's
request to dismiss the Chapter 11 case of Savannah Outlet Shoppes,
LLC.

A continued hearing on the case dismissal request will be assigned
to coincide with a hearing on confirmation of the Debtor's plan.

Comm 2006-C8 claims to hold a first priority debt deed on the
Debtor's real estate securing a claim of approximately
$9.5 million.

According to Comm 2006-C8, the Debtor's case is essentially a two
party case and that the Debtor has taken too long to file a
chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement.

In response, the Debtor pointed to monthly operating reports
showing that Comm 2006-C8 has received approximately $470,000
during the case pursuant to a cash collateral order.  That very
near equals the amount necessary to fund a full amortization of
Comm 2006-C8's claim pursuant to the terms of the Debtor's now-
filed plan.

The Court concluded that the Debtor must be given an opportunity
to confirm a plan.

A review of the Debtor's schedules shows that there is a 2nd
priority debt deed on the Debtor's real property in favor of
another lender, some tax claims and approximately $52,000 in
general unsecured debt.  This is not a two-party case, and other
creditors would be hurt if the case were dismissed and Comm 2006-
C8 be allowed to foreclose.

SHELBRAN INVESTMENTS: Wants to Access $100,000 Unsecured Financing
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shelbran Investments, L. P., has asked authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida to borrow up
to $100,000 on an unsecured basis from Steven Holgate, a Managing
Member of the Debtor, according to the terms of the draft
Revolving Credit Line Note.

The Debtor will use the proceeds of the loan to ensure its cash
flow while in the Chapter 11 case.  The Debtor would also use the
funding to make any required payments and taxes as necessary.
Without the proposed funding, the Debtor may not be able to make
those payments in the immediate future.

As consideration for the loan, the Debtor would pay interest to
the Lender at a rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.
Repayment of the Note would occur, at the Debtor's option, upon
the latter of (a) on December 31, 2011, or (b) on the effective
date of the Debtor's Plan of Reorganization.  However, payment of
all amounts owing will be due immediately upon the conversion to
Chapter 7 or dismissal of the Chapter 11 case.

Robert Wilcox, Esq., at Brennan, Manna & Diamond, P.L., attorney
for the Debtor, states that the loan is entirely unsecured, and
the interest rate is below the interest rate it would have to pay
in the open market if the Debtor could even qualify to obtain
unsecured credit as a Chapter 11 debtor.  The terms of the Note
are not onerous, and the Debtor believes that the existence of the
borrowed fund will enhance its prospects for a successful
reorganization.

According to Mr. Wilcox, the Debtor will use the credit facility
to provide liquidity for its obligations as a Chapter 11 debtor,
and to pay ordinary obligations as they arise, and to pay case
administration expenses.

Mr. Holgate has previously provided capital funds to the Debtor on
January 27, 2011, March 21, 2011, and April 5, 2011, for a total
of $50,000 as an "Owner Contribution."  Those transactions are
either loans to the Debtor or are injections of equity into the
Debtor.

The United States Trustee opposes the motion to obtain credit and
asserts that the Debtor should be required to present evidence
supporting the need for such post-petition financing and
addressing the concerns raised in this objection.

The United States Trustee objects to the motion to obtain credit
on these grounds:

     a. The Debtor fails to provide any specific information as to
        how the proceeds of the proposed financing will be used or
        a budget reflecting the Debtor's anticipated shortfalls
        for the duration of this case. It should also be noted
        that the Debtor has not filed a plan or disclosure
        statement to date, and it is unclear as to how long this
        case will remain pending.

     b. The Debtor does not specify what portion of the Holgate
        Loans should be treated as equity contributions and what
        portion should be encompassed in the proposed post-
        petition financing.  Without these details, it is
        impossible to determine the precise amount of the
        proposed financing.

     c. The Debtor does not provide any justification for
        requesting that a certain portion of the Holgate Loans be
        approved on a nunc pro tunc basis.  Further, the Debtor
        amended the motion to seek retroactive relief related to
        the Holgate Loans only after the United States Trustee
        filed its Motion to Dismiss raising concerns about these
        Holgate Loans and the Debtor's failure to obtain approval
        for same.

     d. The Debtor received $67,700 in proceeds from an easement
        sale and on June 13, 2011, received from Rita Holgate a
        check for $294,850.  The Debtor explained that these funds
        were payment on a promissory note held by the Debtor.  The
        Debtor's recent receipt of over $360,000 in funds raises
        questions as to the Debtor's need to obtain post-petition
        credit and the extent of the Debtor's anticipated
        operating shortfalls.

     e. The Debtor has failed to provide any information as to its
        efforts to obtain financing from other lenders or as to
        the Debtor's ability to repay the proposed loan.

THINK3 INC: Crucial Hearings Set for Aug. 18 and 25
---------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge H. Christopher Mott will hold two critical
hearings in the bankruptcy cases involving Think3 Inc:

     -- A hearing on Aug. 25 on the request of Dr. Andrea Ferri,
        in his capacity as trustee and putative foreign
        representative of Think3, to slow down the proposed sale
        of the Debtor's assets to Versata-FC LLC; and

     -- A status conference on Aug. 18 in the Chapter 11 case
        filed by Think3 and the Chapter 15 case filed by the
        Italian Trustee.

The Italian Trustee wants the proposed sale to be heard in
September to give the Court time to consider both the Chapter 11
and Chapter 15 petitions.  The Trustee also asks the Court to
issue a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction
order staying all proceedings in Think3's Chapter 11 case.

Think3 has been a debtor in corporate reorganization proceedings
under the laws of Italy pending before the Court of Bologna since
March 14, 2011.  Dr. Ferri was appointed to act as Trustee in the
Italian Proceedings and has taken control of Think3's assets and
business affairs in Italy.  Virtually all of Think3's business
affairs and operations are located in Italy.

On July 20, 2011, the Court of Bologna confirmed Think3 as the
only owner of intellectual property rights, definitely denying
Versata FZ-LLC's appeal against the termination of a Technology
License Agreement entered into and between Think3 and Versata on
Oct. 7, 2010.

After failing in Italy, and in direct violation of a stay and
injunction that is automatically in place under the Italian
Bankruptcy Laws -- similar to the "automatic stay" in U.S.
Proceedings -- Versata commenced litigation against Think3 in the
United States.  Versata's actions prompted Think3's U.S.
insolvency professionals to commence the Chapter 11 Case.

In the Chapter 11 case, the Debtor is seeking to assume the
terminated contract and sell assets to Versata.  The Debtor also
is seeking to have customer payments taken from the Italian
Trustee's control and placed in escrow.

The Italian Trustee has said the revenues that the Escrow Motion
attacks are critical to Think3's operations and functioning.  He
added that eliminating that revenue stream will not have an impact
on business in the United States where, in fact, there are
no operations, but will have a negative impact in Italy where
Think3's business is operating.  Dr. Ferri is concerned that the
approach being taken through the Sale Motion and Escrow Motion
will cause serious harm to Think3.

Versata FZ-LLC, Versata Development Group, Inc., Versata Software,
Inc., ESW Capital, LLC, the parent of Think3, and Gensym Cayman
L.P., the DIP Lender, object to the Italian Trustee's request.
Versata said the Italian process is, at best, only a disputed
foreign non-main proceeding, as the Settling Creditors will prove
at trial.

Versata pointed out that the Italian Trustee cavalierly argues
that the Debtor, Rebecca Roof, the Court-approved Chief
Restructuring Officer, the Court itself, and the United States
bankruptcy system are either incapable or unwilling to protect the
Debtor, its estate, and its creditors.  According to Versata, the
Italian Trustee alleges the entirety of the Chapter 11 proceeding
is designed to facilitate Versata's alleged plan to steal the
Debtor's principal asset -- its intellectual property.  Versata
called the Italian Trustee's argument "nonsensical."

The Italian Trustee is also challenging a request in the Chapter
11 case to compel the Trustee produce documents.  The Court will
conduct a hearing on Aug. 18 to consider the Trustee's request to
quash subpoena.

been a debtor in corporate reorganization proceedings under the
laws of Italy pending before the Court of Bologna since March 14,
2011.  Dr. Andrea Ferri was appointed to act as trustee in the
Italian Proceedings

Think3 sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No.
11-11252) on May 18, 2011, in Austin, its hometown, three months
after creditors filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against
the company in a court in Bologna, Italy.  The company didn't
oppose the involuntary bankruptcy.  Rebecca Roof was appointed as
Chief Restructuring Officer.

The Italian trustee filed a Chapter 15 petition (Bankr. W.D. Tex.

restructuring through the Italian court.

TROPICANA ENT: Judge Dismisses NJ Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Judith H. Wizmur of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey dismissed the Chapter 11 cases of Adamar of
NJ In Liquidation, LLC, f/k/a Adamar of New Jersey, Inc., d/b/a
Tropicana Casino & Resort - Atlantic City, and Manchester Mall,
Inc. effective as of August 5, 2011.

The NJ Debtors filed for bankruptcy in April 2009 essentially to
effectuate a sale of substantially all of their assets, which
include the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City.  With
the Court's consent, they were able to close the asset sale with
purchasers Tropicana Atlantic City Corp. and Tropicana AC Sub
Corp. on March 8, 2010.

In her August 5, 2011 order, Judge Wizmur directs Cole Schotz,
Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., counsel to the NJ Debtors, to
return the balance of cash held in escrow to the Purchasers after
payment of (i) all allowed fees and costs of Cole Schotz; Pashman
Stien P.C.; and J.H. Cohn LLP; (ii) unpaid and accrued U.S.
Trustee quarterly fees; and (iii) unpaid, undisputed and accrued
invoices of Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC.

The Professionals will return to the Purchasers the unused balance
of all retainers received from the NJ Debtors before the Petition
Date, Judge Wizmur ruled.  However, she clarified, $10,000 will be
reserved for the fees and costs associated with dissolving Adamar
of NJ In Liquidation, LLC, under applicable state law, the excess
of which will be returned to the Purchasers upon its dissolution.

To the extent a dispute exists as to the unpaid and accrued
invoices of Kurtzman Carson, Cole Schotz will reserve an amount in
escrow necessary to satisfy the disputed invoices until the issue
is resolved.

The NJ Debtors are authorized to take all necessary actions to
effectuate their dissolution.

Notwithstanding any claim filed by the State of New Jersey,
Division of Taxation, and the Department of Labor and Workforce
Development, allowed against the NJ Debtors' estates or asserted
against them, the NJ Debtors are authorized to dissolve Adamar of
NJ In Liquidation, LLC, under applicable state law without the
need
of a tax clearance certificate.

The Court acknowledged that there are no assets remaining in the
NJ Debtors' estates from which to pay priority unsecured claims
and general unsecured claims.

Schedules of the Remaining Priority Unsecured Claims and the
General Unsecured Claims are available at no charge at:

http://bankrupt.com/misc/TropiA_NJOrdRemPrioGUsecClms080511.pdf

The Court further acknowledged that pursuant to their purchase
agreement with the NJ Debtors, the Purchasers are not liable for
priority unsecured claims and general unsecured claims against the
NJ Debtors.

Notwithstanding dismissal of the NJ Debtors' Chapter 11 cases and
Section 349 of the Bankruptcy Code, all holdings and orders
entered in these cases before August 5, 2011, will survive and
remain in full force and effect, Judge Wizmur held.

According to an August 8, 2011 notice of the Order, any discharge
granted to the NJ Debtors is vacated.  All outstanding fees to the
Court incurred by the dismissed NJ Debtors are due and owing and
must be paid.

USG CORP: S&P Cuts CCR to 'B' on Liquidity Concerns
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on USG Corp. to 'B' from 'B+'.

"At the same time we lowered the issue-level ratings on the
company's $300 million and $350 million senior unsecured notes due
2014 and 2018 to 'BB-' (two notches higher than the corporate
credit rating) from 'BB'. The '1' recovery ratings on these notes,
indicating our expectation of very high (90% to 100%) recovery for
lenders in the event of a default, remain unchanged. We also
lowered the issue-level ratings on USG's two $500 million senior
unsecured note issues due 2016 and 2018, and on its Industrial
Revenue bonds (IRBs), to 'B-' from 'B'. The '5' recovery ratings
on these notes, indicating our expectation of modest (10% to 30%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a default, remain unchanged,"
S&P related.

"The downgrade reflects our expectation that USG's operating
results and cash flow are likely to be strained over the next year
due to the ongoing depressed level of housing starts and still-
weak commercial construction activity," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Thomas Nadramia. "It is now more likely, in
our view, that any meaningful recovery in housing starts may be
deferred until late 2012 or into 2013. As a result, the risk that
USG's liquidity in the next 12 to 24 months will continue to erode
(and be less than we incorporated into our prior ratings) has
increased. The ratings previously incorporated a greater
improvement in housing starts, which would have enabled USG to
reduce its negative operating cash flow in 2012 and achieve
breakeven cash flow or better by 2013."

"Our current assumptions project that in 2012, USG is likely to be
cash flow negative to the extent of $175 million to $200 million,
reducing total liquidity to about $700 million by the end of 2012.
Should weak housing starts extend into 2013, it could reduce total
liquidity to less than $500 million. This might strain liquidity,
given the maturity of USG's $300 million of senior notes in August
2014, USG's need to increase investment in capital equipment
because of deferred maintenance (currently at about $50 million
per year), and the company's ongoing annual interest expense of
about $200 million," S&P related.

"Despite negative cash flow from operations of $154 million and a
$182 million decline in cash and marketable securities in the
first half of 2011 (due to normal working capital seasonality and
continued operating losses), we expect USG to have close to break
even cash flow in the second half of 2011. Thus, it will maintain
total liquidity (including availability under credit facilities)
of about $900 million by year end. However, we also expect that
continued losses and working capital requirements in 2012 could
result in another $200 million, or greater, reduction in overall
liquidity. Should the weak level of housing starts continue into
2013, total liquidity could fall to less than $500 million.
Furthermore, incurrence of new debt to bolster liquidity will
add to an already burdensome annual interest requirement of
approximately $200 million, in our view. In addition, increased
borrowings will make it more difficult to achieve reasonable
credit measures for the 'B' rating when markets do recover, given
that total debt (adjusted for leases and post retirement
obligations) currently approximates $3 billion, total adjusted
debt exceeds 30x, and interest coverage is below 1x," S&P related.

The prolonged housing slowdown has hurt the company's operating
results, with shipments of the company's wallboard falling 11% in
the first six months of 2011 to just under 2 billion square feet.
This compares with wallboard shipments of 2.2 billion square feet
in the first six months of 2010. Despite pricing improvement
during this period, continued pressure on selling prices and
margins due to low capacity utilization, estimated at about 50%,
exists across the industry.

As of June 30, 2011, USG's liquidity, which is an underpinning for
the 'B' rating, consisted of $402 million in cash, $323 million of
short- and long-term marketable securities, $167 million of
availability under its $400 million asset-based revolving credit
facility, and a C$30 million credit facility. "We believe this
will be sufficient to meet obligations over the next one to two
years even if housing starts do not materially increase from
current levels, assuming total cash used does not exceed $200
million annually," S&P said.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating on USG reflects the combination
of what we would consider to be the company's weak business risk
profile and highly leveraged financial risk profile. USG's
earnings and cash flow are subject to wide swings, in tandem with
residential construction activity, and the ratings recognize that
the company's credit measures are likely to continue to be
extremely weak due to cyclically poor financial results for at
least the next several quarters," S&P related.

"The negative rating outlook reflects our view of USG's
challenging and uncertain operating environment. Standard & Poor's
believes financial results will remain weak over the next several
quarters, possibly resulting in reduced liquidity and continued
weak credit measures for the rating. Although we currently view
USG's liquidity as strong, the 'B' credit rating is dependent
on maintenance of this significant excess liquidity, particularly
given the rate at which cash could be used over the next 12-24
months. Furthermore, the outlook reflects the potential that USG
could increase debt or sell assets to enhance liquidity. While
this may provide additional financial flexibility in the near term
to weather weak markets, such actions may also require additional
cash resources to service interest, or may reduce the company's
earnings power when markets eventually do recover," S&P said.

"We could lower the rating if USG's operating conditions remain
weak in 2012 because of prolonged low housing starts. This would
forestall any improvement in USG's operating results, resulting in
lower liquidity," S&P related.

Given difficult market conditions and very weak credit measures, a
revision of the outlook to stable is unlikely over the next
several quarters. "However, that could occur if housing starts and
wallboard prices increased sooner and more dramatically than we
expected. This would allow the company to improve earnings rapidly
and reduce leverage to below 10x," S&P said.

On Jan. 7, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware entered a 107-page opinion determining that the global
settlement agreement, among certain parties including WMI, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., upon which the Plan is premised, and the transactions
contemplated therein, are fair, reasonable, and in the best
interests of WMI.  Additionally, the Opinion and related order
denied confirmation, but suggested certain modifications to the
Company's Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors that, if
made, would facilitate confirmation.

Washington Mutual has filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Modified
Sixth Amended Joint Plan and a related Supplemental Disclosure
Statement.  The Company believes that the Modified Plan has
addressed the Bankruptcy Court's concerns and looks forward to
returning to the Bankruptcy Court to seek confirmation of the
Modified Plan.

Carolyn Cairns was appointed as mediator in the Washington Mutual
(WMI) proceedings.


WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Seeks to Settle Securities Litigation
--------------------------------------------------------
Washington Mutual, Inc. and WMI Investment Corp. ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to approve a
stipulation and agreement, dated June 30, 2011, among (i) Ontario
Teachers' Pension Plan Board, lead plaintiff in the consolidated
class action styled In re Washington Mutual, Inc. Securities
Litigation, No. 2:08-md-1919 (MJP)(W.D.Wash.), Lead Case No. C08-
387 (MJP); (ii) defendants Kerry K. Killinger, Thomas W. Casey,
Stephen J. Rotella, Ronald J. Cathcart, David C. Schneider, John
F. Woods, Melissa J. Ballenger -- the Officer Defendants -- Anne
V. Farrell, Stephen E. Frank, Thomas C. Leppert, Charles M.
Lillis, Phillip D. Matthews, Regina Montoya, Michael K. Murphy,
Margaret Osmer McQuade, Mary E. Pugh, William G. Reed, Jr., Orin
C. Smith, James H. Stever, and Willis B. Wood, Jr. -- the Outside
Director Defendants; and (iii) defendant Washington Mutual, Inc.

The Debtors also ask the Court to modify the automatic stay
provided in Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent
applicable, to allow payment of the settlement amount in
connection with the Settlement Agreement.

Washington Mutual and the Settling Defendants have denied and
continue to deny the allegations in the Bankruptcy Claims and
Ontario Teachers' Second Amended Consolidated Class Action
Complaint, which allege that the named defendants with respect to
the Exchange Act claims made, or controlled others who made,
materially false and misleading statements about, among other
things, the effectiveness of Washington Mutual's risk management
procedures, the fairness and reliability of the appraisals
received in connection with its loans, the quality of its mortgage
underwriting procedures and its financial results, including the
appropriate allowances for its loan losses, and that these false
and misleading statements caused the prices of Washington Mutual's
securities to be artificially inflated between October 19, 2005,
and July 23, 2008.

Subject to Court approval, the parties to the Settlement Agreement
have agreed to fully resolve and settle, with finality, (i) all of
the claims that were or could have been asserted by the Plaintiffs
or any other Class Members against the Settling Defendants in the
Securities Litigation, and (ii) the Bankruptcy Claims.

The salient terms of the Settlement Agreement include:

     * Subject to certain conditions, the Contributing Insurers
       issuing the Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance
       Policies will pay $105,000,000 into an interest-bearing
       escrow account for distribution to certain Authorized
       Claimants, net of any taxes, notice and administration
       costs, litigation expenses awarded by the District Court
       and any attorneys' fees awarded by the District Court.
       Until the Bankruptcy Court's approval order becomes final,
       no funds may be withdrawn from the Escrow Account other
       than to pay Taxes.  The Contributing Insurers' payment of
       the Settlement Amount into the Escrow Account will be in
       full satisfaction of the monetary obligations under the
       terms of the Settlement.

     * Upon the effective date, the Lead Plaintiff and all other
       Class Members will be deemed by operation of law to have
       irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally, fully and
       forever released, waived and dismissed, with prejudice,
       each and every Settled Claim against every Released
       Defendant Party, and will be forever enjoined from
       prosecuting any or all Settled Claims against any Released
       Defendant Party, including the Bankruptcy Claims against
       Washington Mutual.  The Bankruptcy Claims will be
       withdrawn, with prejudice, in their entirety.

A full-text copy of the Settlement Agreement is available at no
charge at:

   http://bankrupt.com/misc/WMItcr_OntarioTeachLitAgr063011.pdf

The hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider the motion is set
for September 6, 2011.  Objections are due on or before August 19,
2011, at 4:00 p.m.

The District Court will hold a hearing on November 4, 2011, to
consider whether to enter a judgment (i) approving the Settlement
Agreement in all respects, (ii) dismissing, with prejudice, the
Securities Litigation and all claims asserted against the Settling
Defendants by the Plaintiffs or any other Class Members, and (iii)
permanently enjoining the Lead Plaintiffs and all other Class
Members from bringing any Settled Claims against any Release
Defendant Party, and permanently enjoining all Released Defendant
Parties from bringing any Released Claims by Defendants as to
Plaintiffs against the Lead Plaintiffs, Lead Counsel, any other
Class Members, or their attorneys.

                           *********

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.
