ACCURIDE CORP: Bank Debt Trades at 7.3% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Accuride Corp. is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 92.70 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, Sept. 11, 2009, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.60 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan
matures on Jan. 6, 2012.  The Company pays 225 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's
Ca rating and Standard & Poor's C rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans
with five or more bids.

The Troubled Company Reporter stated on Sep 07, 2009, that Moody's
Investors Service lowered Accuride Corporation's Probability of
Default Rating and Corporate Family Rating to Ca\LD and Ca,
respectively.  In a related action the ratings of the company's
first-out senior secured bank credit facility were lowered to Caa2
from Caa1, the rating of the last-out senior secured bank credit
facility was lowered to Ca from Caa3, and the rating for the
senior subordinated bonds was lowered to C from Ca.

On Aug. 10, 2009, the TCR reported that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services has lowered its corporate credit rating on commercial
vehicle parts supplier Accuride Corp. to 'D' (default) from 'CCC'
and lowered the issue-level rating on the company's senior
subordinated debt to 'D' from 'CC'.  At the same time, S&P lowered
the issue-level ratings on the company's senior secured revolving
credit facility and first-out term loan to 'CC' from 'B-'.  S&P
also lowered the issue-level rating on the company's second-out
term loan to 'C' from 'CC'

The recovery ratings on the senior secured revolving credit
facility and first-out term loan remain at '1', indicating S&P's
expectation that lenders would receive very high (90% to 100%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  The recovery ratings
on the second-out term loan and subordinated notes remain at '6',
indicating S&P's expectation that lenders would receive negligible
(0 to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The downgrades reflect Accuride's announcement that it did not
make an $11.7 million interest payment scheduled for August 3 on
its 8.50% subordinated note due in 2015.  Under the indentures
governing the senior notes, Accuride has a 30-day grace period to
make interest payments on these notes before there is an event of
default.

Accuride Corporation, headquartered in Evansville, IN, is a
diversified North American manufacturer and supplier of commercial
vehicle components.  Principal products include wheels, wheel-end
components and assemblies, truck body and chassis parts, and
seating assemblies.  Revenues in 2008 were approximately
$931 million.

AMERICAN AXLE: Barclays Analyst Hikes Stock to Overweight/Neutral
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Barclays Capital analyst Brian Johnson in Chicago said in a
September 11 report that he hiked his shares rating on American
Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. to "overweight/neutral" from
"equal weight/neutral."  Financial results will beat analysts'
estimates "as early as this quarter" as full-size pickup sales
recover after the government's cash-for-clunkers incentive
program, Mr. Johnson said, according to Bloomberg News.

With the stock upgrade, American Axle jumped $1.02, or 16 percent,
to $7.34 at 4:03 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite
trading, Alex Ortolani at Bloomberg said on September 11.  The
shares reached the highest since Sept. 22, 2008, and have more
than doubled this year.

As reported by the TCR on September 3, 2009, American Axle entered
into a third extension of the Waiver and Amendment, dated as of
June 29, 2009 to the Credit Agreement dated as of January 9, 2004,
as amended and restated, among Holdings, AAM, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders Lenders, and J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as
Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners.  The Third Waiver
Extension, among other things, extends the second waiver extension
termination date of August 31 to September 15.  The Third Waiver
Extension requires AAM to maintain a daily minimum liquidity of
$75 million and can be terminated under certain circumstances,
including AAM's inability to meet the minimum liquidity test for
four consecutive business days.  Otherwise, the Waiver and
Amendment remains in full force and effect.

AAM continues to work with key stakeholders on various commercial
agreements and financing arrangements that would result in a
comprehensive long-term solution outside of bankruptcy.  The
current extension of the waiver period provides additional time to
finalize the definitive terms and conditions of such commercial
agreements and financing arrangements.

                        About American Axle

Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, American Axle & Manufacturing
Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AXL) -- http://www.aam.com/-- is a world
leader in the manufacture, engineering, design and validation of
driveline and drivetrain systems and related components and
modules, chassis systems and metal-formed products for trucks,

(Michigan, New York, Ohio and Indiana), the Company also has
offices or facilities in Brazil, China, Germany, India, Japan,
Luxembourg, Mexico, Poland, South Korea, Thailand and the United
Kingdom.

                           *     *     *

American Axle carries a 'CCC' long term issuer default rating from
Fitch, a 'CCC+' issuer credit rating from Standard & Poor's, and a
'Ca' corporate family rating from Moody's.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said in August that its ratings
on American Axle (CCC+/Negative/--) are not immediately affected
by the company's announcement of its financial results for the
second quarter of 2009.

American Axle had assets of $1,920,600,000 against debts of
$2,656,600,000 as of June 30, 2009.


AMERICREDIT CORP: Fitch Affirms 'B-' Issuer Default Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of AmeriCredit Corp.:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'B-';
  -- Senior debt at 'B/RR3'.

Approximately $554 million of debt is affected by this action.
The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The rating affirmation reflects ACF's competitive position in the
fragmented auto finance market, experienced management team, and
consistent servicing and collections capabilities over varying
economic cycles.  These attributes are offset by limited funding
flexibility, negative asset quality trends, and reduced
profitability given extended disruptions in the capital markets
which have yielded significantly higher funding costs for the
company.

ACF completed a $725 million Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan
Facility transaction in July 2009 and was able to sell all
subordinate bonds, primarily, to traditional asset-backed
securities investors.  Fitch views this transaction as an
encouraging step; however, it remains unclear whether the company
will be able to economically access the ABS markets beyond the
expiration of the TALF program in March 2010.  Furthermore, the
senior subordinate transaction had initial enhancement levels of
28.1%.  Given the higher enhancement levels, Fitch expects the
company to operate with higher capitalization levels going
forward, which will limit its growth opportunities and could put
the company at a competitive disadvantage when asset quality
trends improve.

In March 2009, ACF successfully renegotiated the covenants of its
master warehouse facility and extended the term until March 2010
in exchange for additional credit enhancement and a 700-basis
point increase in the cost of funds.  The borrowing capacity was
reduced from $2.25 billion to $1.1 billion in March and further to
$1 billion in July in order to align borrowing capacity with
origination levels.  Fitch believes the company will be able to
renew and/or extend this facility in March; however, pricing
and/or terms could be adjusted further.  The higher funding costs
will continue to pressure ACF's profitability prospects relative
to historical levels.

The Stable Outlook reflects the expectation that ACF will be able
to meet its debt service obligations for the foreseeable future
and that current liquidity and capitalization are adequate for the
rating category.  Negative rating action could result from
material deterioration in the performance of more recent vintages
that negatively affects the company's profitability.  Conversely,
positive rating momentum could result from the ability to
economically access the ABS markets on a consistent basis beyond
the expiration of the TALF program, the renewal of the warehouse
facility at a level which will provide competitive and operating
flexibility, an improvement in asset quality metrics, and an
ability to post consistent core operating earnings.


AMR CORP: Aims for Expansive Joint Venture With Japan Airlines
--------------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. is in talks with Japan Airlines Corp. to forge an
expansive joint venture with the carrier, Mike Esterl at The Wall
Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.

The Journal says that American Airlines would also consider taking
a minority stake in JAL, although any such investment would likely
be capped at hundreds of millions of dollars.  The report states
that American Airlines, which doesn't have a hub in Japan, relies
on JAL.  The two airlines, says the report, have had code-sharing
deals since the 1990s.

According to The Journal, AMR is trying to keep JAL away from
Delta Air Line Inc.  The Journal says that Delta is negotiating to
acquire a minority stake of around $300 million in JAL.  The
Journal relates that Delta wants JAL to join its rival SkyTeam
alliance.

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: Has Deal With Art Capital on Loan Payment Delay
----------------------------------------------------------------
Annie Leibovitz and Art Capital Group have reached an agreement
regarding a restructuring of the celebrity photographer's
$24 million debt to Art Capital and the dismissal of the lawsuit
filed by the lender against her.

According to a joint statement, the agreement will result in the
withdrawal of the suit that Art Capital filed against
Ms. Leibovitz on July 29, 2009 and extends the maturity date for
the $24 million loan Art Capital provided Ms. Leibovitz, which was
originally due on September 8, 2009.  Ms. Leibovitz has also
purchased from Art Capital its rights to act as exclusive agent in
the sale of her real property and copyrights.  Ms. Leibovitz will
therefore retain control of those assets within the context of the
loan agreement which shall prevail until satisfied.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 7, 2009,
Justice Bernard Fried of the New York State Supreme Court gave
Ms. Leibovitz until October 1 to respond to the lawsuit filed by
Art Capital Group against her.  As a result, Ms. Leibovitz will
have an extra month to deal with her financial woes.

Art Capital Group, in September 2008, gave the celebrity
photographer access to a $24 million loan, backed by rights to her
photograph and real estate in New York.  Their agreement was that
Art Capital would be the "irrevocable, exclusive agent" for the
sale of her works and property for the loan's length and for two
years after she pays it off.

Ms. Leibovitz has been unable to pay off the loan.  Art Capital
has sued Ms. Leibovitz before the New York State Supreme Court,
New York County, in Manhattan (Case No. 09-602334), for breach of
contract, claiming that Ms. Leibovitz has not cooperated with the
sale of her photographs and has not granted access to the real
estate backing the loans.

According to an August 5 report by Bloomberg News, Thomas Kline,
Esq., a partner at Andrews Kurth, which specializes in art law and
litigation, said that filing for bankruptcy rather than
challenging the lawsuit, may be better legal strategy for
Ms. Leibovitz.

Mr. Kline, Bloomberg relates, said that while a bankruptcy filing
would make Ms. Leibovitz's finances public, it would stay the
lawsuit while she considers her options.  According to Mr. Kline,
the bankruptcy court may be "may be more attuned to fairness
issues with regard to her and to all her creditors."

Annie Leibovitz, 59, is the creator of famous photographs
including a nude of John Lennon in a fetal position with Yoko Ono,
and a portrait of a pregnant, naked Demi Moore published on the
cover of Vanity Fair magazine.


ASARCO LLC: Sterlite Sweetens Bid, Topping Grupo Mexico
-------------------------------------------------------
Debarati Roy at Bloomberg News reports that Sterlite Industries
(India) Ltd. topped rival Grupo Mexico's offer for the U.S.
copper miner by almost 3 percent.  The offer was increased to
$2.57 billion in cash from $2.14 billion, Mumbai-based Sterlite,
India's largest copper producer, said September 11 in a statement
to the National Stock Exchange.  Grupo Mexico had offered
$2.5 billion last month.

As reported by the TCR on September 2, 2009, Judge Richard S.
Schmidt of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas recommended to District Court Judge Andrew S. Hanen to
confirm the Plan of Reorganization proposed by Asarco Incorporated
and Americas Mining Corporation for ASARCO LLC and its debtor
affiliates.

The Parent's Plan, valued at $3.6 billion, complies with all of
the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed,"
Judge Schmidt said in his 137-page report and recommendation dated
August 31, 2009.  "Confirmation of the Debtors' Plan should be
denied," he added.

Judge Schmidt's recommendation came after a two-week hearing on
the Plans of Reorganization filed by each of ASARCO LLC and Asarco
Inc. and AMC.  Judge Schmidt has also recommended that the
District Court issue all injunctions set forth in the Parent's
Plan.

Judge Hanen is expected to rule on the Plan in November 2009.  The
Debtors are expected to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of 2009
should Judge Hanen accept the Bankruptcy Court's recommendation,
Grupo Mexico SAB de C.V., AMC's ultimate parent, said in a press
release.

ASARCO LLC has been battling against its estranged parent, Asarco
Inc. and AMC, as to whose plan should be best for the Debtors and
the bankruptcy estates.  ASARCO LLC's reorganization plan is
backed by Sterlite (USA) Inc.'s bid.  Both plans by ASARCO LLC and
Grupo Mexico propose to pay all Allowed Claims in full.  The
ASARCO Plan has gained support from the United Steelworkers of
America, and other key parties, including creditors, the Arizona
Attorney General, and state legislators.

Both Plans are confirmable, Judge Schmidt said in his ruling, but
decided that the Parent Plan is superior.

                      Plan Feasibility Issues

Judge Schmidt, in his ruling, noted that although both the Parent
and the Debtors' Plans are feasible, both Plans raise feasibility
issues.  Judge Schmidt pointed out that the Parent Plan:

  -- failed to reach a collective bargaining agreement with the
     Union, which could result in a crippling strike;

  -- saddles the reorganized Debtor with obligations requiring
     it to upstream dividends and sales proceeds to the Parent
     to pay off the borrowing facility used to fund the Plan;
     and

  -- would hold ASARCO LLC liable for any creditor shortfall.

On the other hand, Judge Schmidt pointed out that support for the
future operation of the reorganized Debtor under the Debtors' Plan
relies on the good graces of Sterlite and not on any legal
commitment.

Reorganized ASARCO, Judge Schmidt, however, found, under the
Parent Plan, has sufficient financial resources so that the
confirmation and consummation of the Parent Plan is not likely to
be followed by liquidation, or the need for further financial
reorganization, of reorganized ASARCO.

Pursuant to Section 157(d) of the Judicial and Judiciary
Procedures Code, Judge Andrew S. Hanen of the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Texas granted the joint request of
the Debtors, Americas Mining Corporation, Asarco Incorporated, the
Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants, the Future Claims
Representative, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
to withdraw the reference regarding confirmation proceedings and
related requests for injunction.

ASHLEY GLEN: Hearing on October 7 for Mansion Appraisal
-------------------------------------------------------
Laura Kinsler at The Tampa Tribune reports that the Bankruptcy
Court will convene a hearing on October 7 in connection with
developer Douglas Weiland's proposed Chapter 11 plan for his
Ashley Glen project.  Under the proposed plan, Mr. Weiland
proposes to pay of $21 million in debts for three Pasco real
estate developments through a transfer or sale of Ashley Glen,
which he says is worth $37 million.  Mercantile Bank holds liens
on the three properties Ashley Glen, Summit View and Riverwood
Estates.

According to The Tampa Tribune, Mercantile Bank disputes
Mr. Weiland's appraisal and filed a formal objection to his
Chapter 11 plan.  "They consider it to be a $37 million asset,"
bank attorney Stanford Solomon said.  "We think that the value of
Ashley Glen is -- on a good day -- $8 million.  That's assuming
you can find a buyer."

Ashley Glen LLC owns a 260-acre mixed-use project, named Ashley
Glen and planned for the northeast intersection of State Road 54
and the Suncoast Parkway in Pasco County.  The Company and two
affiliates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 25,

Esq., who has an office in Tampa, Florida, assists the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.  Ashley Glen listed $10 million to

AVIS BUDGET: Bank Debt Trades at 10.25% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Avis Budget Car
Rental LLC is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 89.75
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.63
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on April 1, 2012.  The Company pays 125 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Ba3 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+ rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11,
among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

Based in Parsippany, New Jersey, Avis Budget Group, Inc., provides
car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and
consumers in the United States and internationally.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 30, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a '6' recovery rating
to Avis Budget Car Rental LLC's (CCC+/Developing/--) unsecured
notes, indicating expectations of negligible (0%-10%) recovery of
principal in the event of a payment default.  Avis Budget Car
Rental LLC is a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group, Inc.
(CCC+/Developing/--).


B&G FOODS: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Rating on CreditWatch Positive
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its ratings
on Parsippany, New Jersey-based B&G Foods Inc., including its 'B'
corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with positive
implications.  As of July 4, 2009, B&G had about $536 million of
total debt.

"The CreditWatch listing is based on the potential for debt
reduction and corresponding improvement in credit measures at B&G
subsequent to a successful completion of the company's recently
announced proposed equity offering," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Christopher Johnson.  B&G plans to offer 9 million shares
of Class A common stock, proceeds of which could be used for
general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of long-
term debt.  As a result, S&P sees the potential for improving
credit measures over the near-term.  Assuming proceeds are applied
to debt reduction and based on B&G's current share price, S&P
estimate leverage could decline below 5x, compared with about 5.7x
for the 12 months ended July 4, 2009.

The CreditWatch placement means that S&P could affirm or raise the
ratings following the completion of S&P's review, which will focus
on the company's financial policy and prospects for improving
credit measures.  Standard & Poor's will meet with management to
further discuss B&G's financial policies and operating trends in
order to resolve the CreditWatch listing.


B&G FOODS: Stocks Issuance Won't Affect Moody's 'B2' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service commented that the planned issuance of
9 million Class A common stock shares by B&G Foods, Inc. has not
at this time had an impact on the company's B2 corporate family
rating or its stable outlook.  Moody's will monitor the receipt of
proceeds, likely to approximate $80 million if the issue is not
increased, and the extent to which proceeds are applied to debt
reduction.  Moody's will also monitor the extent to which B&G may
make other improvements in its capital structure in the context of
a recent bank amendment.

B&G's plan to strengthen its capital structure is a credit
positive.  The company has stated that common stock issuance
proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, such as the
repayment or retirement of a portion of its $535.8 million long
term debt, including its 8% senior notes due 2011 or its 12%
senior subordinated notes due 2016.  Given B&G's history of
acquisitions and an aggressive dividend policy, Moody's remains
cautious about the future profile of the company but would likely
consider a positive outlook at the conclusion of B&G's capital
market activities.

In August 2009, B&G obtained an amendment under its senior secured
bank credit agreement that allows the company, subject to certain
restrictions, to repurchase or redeem or refinance its 12% senior
subordinated notes or exchange the notes for Class A common
shares.  B&G now has more flexibility to potentially replace or
retire this high cost debt instrument and ultimately boost
margins.

However, the company has an aggressive dividend policy under which
a substantial portion of excess free cash flow is distributed as
dividends, up to the dividend payout rate set by B&G's board.  As
a result of this policy, B&G has retained little cash flow for
debt reduction.  In addition, there remains the event risk of
future acquisitions by this company that has grown by
acquisitions.

Moody's most recent rating action on August 1, 2007, upgraded the
rating of B&G's senior unsecured notes, affirmed the company's
other ratings including its B2 corporate family and probability of
default ratings, and maintained a stable outlook.

B&G Foods, Inc., based in Parsippany, New Jersey, is a
manufacturer and distributor of shelf-stable branded food products
including Cream of Wheat and Cream of Rice, Ortega, Maple Grove
Farms of Vermont, and Bloch & Guggenheimer.  Revenues for the
twelve months ended July 4, 2009, were approximately $493 million.


BARRINGTON BROADCASTING: Bank Debt Trades at 37% Off
----------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Barrington
Broadcasting Group LLC is a borrower traded in the secondary
market at 63.20 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday,
Sept. 11, 2009, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 1.40 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The loan matures on Aug. 7, 2013.  The Company
pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank debt carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+
rating.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week
ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 28, 2009,
Standard & Poor's revised its recovery rating on Barrington
Broadcasting Group LLC's secured credit facilities to '3' from
'2'.  The '3' recovery rating indicates the expectation for
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.  S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on this debt to
'CCC+' (at the same level as the 'CCC+' corporate credit rating on
parent Barrington Broadcasting LLC) from 'B-', in accordance with
S&P's notching criteria for a '3' recovery rating.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 8, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service changed the probability of default
rating for Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC to Caa1 from Caa1/LD
and upgraded the rating on its senior subordinated bonds to Caa3
from C.

Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC, headquartered in Hoffman
Estates, Illinois, owns or programs 23 network television stations
in 15 markets.  Its net revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008,
was $119 million.

BLOCKBUSTER INC: Bank Debt Trades at 9% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Blockbuster, Inc.,
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 91.29 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Sept. 11, 2009, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.98 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan

LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's

loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the
154 loans with five or more bids.

Blockbuster, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a leading
global provider of in-home movie and game entertainment with

$250 million revolving credit facility, which expires in September
2010, a senior secured rating of B1.  The rating outlook is
stable.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Blockbuster to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  S&P removed the ratings
from CreditWatch with negative implications, where they were
placed on March 4, 2009.  At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-
level ratings on both its secured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B' and its
subordinated debt to 'CC' from 'CCC'.  The outlook is negative.

Fitch Ratings affirmed Blockbuster's long-term Issuer Default
Rating at 'CCC' and said it expects to rate the amended
$250 million bank credit facility at 'B/RR2'.  In addition, Fitch
took these rating actions ($450 million bank credit facility
upgraded to 'B/RR2' from 'CCC+/RR3'; $100 million term A loan
upgraded to 'B/RR2' from 'CCC+/RR3'; $550 million term B loan
upgraded to 'B/RR2' from 'CCC+/RR3'; and $300 million senior
subordinated notes downgraded to 'C/RR6' from 'CC/RR6'.  The
Rating Outlook is Stable.  The company had approximately
$818 million of debt outstanding as of Jan. 4, 2009.

for the same period ended July 6, 2008.  Blockbuster reported a
net loss of $9.2 million for the 26 weeks ended July 5, 2009, from

BRICKWELL COMMUNITY: Closed; CorTrust Bank Assumes All Deposits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brickwell Community Bank, Woodbury, Minnesota, was closed
September 11 by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which
appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.
To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with CorTrust Bank N.A., Mitchell, South
Dakota, to assume all of the deposits of Brickwell Community Bank.

Depositors of Brickwell Community Bank will automatically become
depositors of CorTrust Bank.  Deposits will continue to be insured
by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their
banking relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage.
Customers should continue to use their existing branch until
CorTrust Bank can fully integrate the deposit records of Brickwell
Community Bank.

As of July, 24, 2009, Brickwell Community Bank had total assets of
$72 million and total deposits of approximately $63 million.
CorTrust Bank will pay the FDIC a premium of 0.10 percent to
assume all of the deposits of Brickwell Community Bank.  In
addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank,
CorTrust Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and CorTrust Bank entered into a loss-share transaction
on approximately $65 million of Brickwell Community Bank's assets.
CorTrust Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered
under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-sharing arrangement is
projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping
them in the private sector.  The agreement also is expected to
minimize disruptions for loan customers.

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1- 800-815-0268.  Interested parties can also
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

   http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/brickwell-mn.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $22 million.  CorTrust Bank's acquisition of all the
deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to alternatives.  Brickwell Community Bank is the 91st
FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the
third in Minnesota.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in
the state was Mainstreet Bank, Forest Lake, on August 28, 2009.


BUCKHEAD COMMUNITY: Has Not Filed Quarterly Report; Expects Loss
----------------------------------------------------------------
Buckhead Community Bancorp, Inc., has yet to file its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Quarterly Report was originally due by August 14, 2009.  In a
regulatory filing in August, the Company said it could not file
the report by the deadline without unreasonable effort or expense,
because it has been unable to complete the preparation of its
financial statements within the prescribed time period.

The Company explained the delay in completing the financial
statements is primarily due to an ongoing internal analysis of a
portion of the loan portfolio Company's wholly-owned banking
subsidiary, The Buckhead Community Bank, to accurately quantify
the degree to which these assets are impaired in the context of a
corresponding evaluation of the appropriateness of the Bank's loan
loss reserve.  Once this review and evaluation have been completed
and the Company's financial statements are prepared, the Company's
independent auditors will be given the opportunity to complete a
review of the Company's financial statements.

The Company expects to report a net loss for each of the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009.  While the exact magnitude of the
loss can not be determined prior to the completion of the review
and evaluation, the Company anticipates a loss of at least
$38.4 million, or a loss of $6.07 per diluted share, for the
June 30 quarter, compared to a loss of $1.2 million, or $0.19 per
diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The
difference primarily relates to decreases in net interest income
after provision for loan losses and noninterest income and to the
recognition of impairment charges of roughly $17.3 million related
to goodwill.  Depending on the level of impairment actually
recognized and any corresponding adjustment to the Bank's loan
loss reserve, the loss actually reported by the Company could be
higher.

On August 6, 2009, Buckhead Community Bank entered into a
Stipulation and Consent Order to Cease and Desist with the Georgia
Department of Banking and Finance and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.  The Bank and its Board of Directors have
taken an active role in working with the DBF and the FDIC and
Finance to improve the condition of the Bank.

The Consent Agreement is based on the findings of the DBF and the
FDIC during an on-site examination conducted as of December 8,
2008.  Since the completion of the examination, the Board of
Directors has aggressively taken steps to address the findings of
the exam, and the Bank is aggressively working to comply with the
requirements of the Consent Agreement and has already completed
many of the required actions.

Under the terms of the Consent Agreement, the Bank is required to
submit written plans to the regulators and to review and revise as
necessary policies that address the following items: reducing
concentrations of credit; continuing to improve loan underwriting
and credit administration; on-going review and grading of the
Bank's loan portfolio; improving the Bank's position regarding
classified loans and other real estate owned; the allowance for
loan and lease losses; maintaining sufficient capital at the Bank,
including maintenance of an 8% leverage ratio and a 10% total
risk-based ratio; preparing a three-year strategic plan and a
profit plan to improve the Bank's earnings and overall condition;
and improving the Bank's liquidity position and funds management
practices.  The Bank is also required to continue to appropriately
charge-off certain loans that may be classified in future
examinations and to reduce other adversely classified assets.

The Board of Directors of the Bank is also required, within 60
days from August 6, to complete a written job description for
executive officers and members of senior management and to prepare
an organizational chart that designates lines of authority and
responsibilities for each officer position.  So long as the
Consent Agreement remains in place, the Bank must notify the DBF
and the FDIC when it proposes to add any individual to the Board
or employ an individual as an executive officer.  Further, the
Bank may not, without the prior written approval of the DBF and
the FDIC, declare or pay any dividends or renew or accept
additional brokered deposits.  The Bank has agreed to correct all
violations of rules or policy noted in the examination report
within 30 days.

"While the Consent Agreement is important and significant, the
Bank believes that, due to the proactive steps previously taken by
the Bank's management and Board, many of the requirements of the
Consent Agreement have already been met.  The Bank and management
will continue to strive to address the concerns that gave rise to
the Consent Agreement.  The Bank will continue to conduct its
banking business with customers in a normal fashion.  Banking
products and services and hours of business will remain the same,
and the Bank's deposits will remain insured by the FDIC to the
maximum limits allowed by law," Marvin Cosgray, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, said early August.

Buckhead Community Bancorp, Inc., is a bank holding company whose
principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly
owned subsidiary, The Buckhead Community Bank.  The Bank is a
commercial bank headquartered in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia.
The Bank operates seven branch locations and one loan production
office, all of which are located in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia.
The Bank provides a full range of banking services in its primary
market areas.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $973,825,000 in total assets
and $927,895,000 in total liabilities.


CABLEVISION SYSTEM: Fitch Assigns 'B-' Rating on $900 Mil. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'B-' rating to Cablevision System
Corporation's $900 million issuance of senior unsecured notes due
2017.  The notes were sold under Rule 144A with registration
rights.  Proceeds generated from the issuance are expected to be
down-streamed to wholly owned subsidiary CSC Holdings, Inc., and
used to fund a cash tender offer to repurchase CSC's 7.625% senior
notes due 2011 and its 6.75% senior notes due 2012.  CVC and its
subsidiary CSC have a 'BB-' Issuer Default Rating, and all the
ratings have a Stable Rating Outlook.

CVC's issuance combined with CSC's parallel announcement of its
cash tender offer for its senior notes maturing in 2011 and 2012
continues to address the refinancing risk associated with the
large scheduled maturity towers during 2011 and 2012, which as of
June 30, 2009, total approximately $5.2 billion.  During the
second quarter of 2009, CSC began to focus on the maturities by
successfully amending and restating its senior secured credit
agreement.  The amendment extended the final maturity date of the
Incremental Term Loan Facility for lenders holding approximately
$1.2 billion of outstanding Incremental Term Loan Facility loans
to March 29, 2016 from March 29, 2013, effectively pushing
approximately $1.1 billion of required amortization during 2012
and 2013 to 2016.

Overall, Fitch's ratings reflect the solid operating profile and
competitive strength of CVC's core cable business derived from
CVC's tightly clustered subscriber base, the company's efficiently
managed cable plant, and the company's growing revenue diversity
owing to the success of CVC's Triple Play service offering and
growing commercial business.  CVC's scale and system clustering
provide the company with competitive advantages in terms of
driving higher operating efficiencies through its cable plant,
taking cost out of customer premise equipment, lowering
programming costs growth, and positioning the company to enhance
its product offerings so that it can differentiate them from the
competition's offering.  CVC's cable business consistently
produces industry leading service penetration levels, average
revenue per unit and ARPU growth rates in an increasingly
competitive operating environment.  Within the context of existing
competitive pressures and weak economic conditions, the ratings
incorporate Fitch's expectation that the company will continue to
generate solid operating metrics and sustainable free cash flow
growth over Fitch's rating horizon.  Additionally, the ratings
recognize that ARPU, revenue and EBITDA growth rates will slow
relative to historical growth rates.

Fitch's rating actions incorporates the continuing strengthening
of CVC's credit profile, the company's improved liquidity position
and financial flexibility and Fitch's expectation of sustainable
free cash flow generation.  On a consolidated basis, CVC's
leverage metric for the last 12 months ended June 30, 2009 was 4.9
times (x) reflecting the steady improvement from 6.86x as of year-
end 2006.  Fitch expects that CVC's leverage metric will improve
modestly during the balance of 2009 due to lower debt levels and
ongoing EBITDA growth and finish 2009 with leverage approximating
4.8x on a consolidated basis.  After generating nearly $383
million of free cash flow during 2008, Fitch expects CVC to
generate in excess of $600 million of free cash flow during 2009
(assuming constant dividends).  During 2009, Fitch expects CVC's
capital expenditures to decline relative to 2008 capital
expenditure levels both in terms of the absolute dollar amount and
as a percentage of revenues.

Rating concerns center on CVC's ability to maintain its relative
competitive position given the changing competitive and economic
environment, growing revenues beyond its core Triple Play service
offering, efficiently managing its cable plant to maximize
desirable high-definition content while balancing capital
expenditures to maximize free cash flow generation.  Fitch
believes event risks surrounding CVC's acquisition and non-core
investment strategy as well as its financial policies related to
the allocation of capital to CVC shareholders is expected to
remain a key rating consideration.

A Stable Rating Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation that the
company's operating profile will remain relatively consistent
during the near term in the face of competition and slowing
economic conditions.  Further, the Stable Outlook considers the
company accommodating non-core acquisitions, and investments in a
credit neutral manner and the absence of other leveraging
transactions.


CABLEVISION SYSTEMS: Note Upsizing Won't Move Moody's 'Ba2' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that Cablevision Systems
Corporation's upsized $900 million senior unsecured note issuance
due 2017 does not impact the company's ratings, including its Ba2
Corporate Family Rating and Ba2 Probability of Default Rating.
The transaction is deemed to represent a modest net positive
credit event via extension and smoothing of the company's debt
maturity profile and further evidence of the recent trend towards
greater fiscal conservatism, albeit at a slightly inflated cost
relative to historical debt service.

Moody's last rating action on Cablevision was on September 9, 2009
when a B1 rating was initially assigned to Cablevision's then
proposed $500 million senior unsecured note issuance due 2017.

Headquartered in Bethpage, New York, Cablevision Systems
Corporation is predominantly a domestic cable TV multiple system
operator serving approximately 3.1 million subscribers in and
around the New York metropolitan area.  Among other entertainment-
and media-related business ventures, the company also owns and
distributes programming to cable television and direct broadcast
satellite providers throughout the United States through its
Rainbow National Services subsidiary.


CABLEVISION SYSTEMS: Note Upsizing Won't Affect S&P's 'BB' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that the upsizing of
Cablevision Systems Corp.'s (BB/Negative/--) senior notes due 2017
does not affect the rating on the issue or other ratings on
Cablevision Systems and related entities.

The rating on the issue, which was increased to $900 million from
$500 million, remains at 'B+' with a '6' recovery rating.  The
notes are being sold under Rule 144A with registration rights.
All, or most, of the proceeds will be used to reduce debt of
Cablevision subsidiary CSC Holdings Inc.


CANADIAN SUPERIOR: May Exit Bankruptcy Today, Picks New Board
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dan Healing at the Calgary Herald reports that Canadian Superior
Energy Inc. is expecting to emerge from bankruptcy protection on
September 14.

Calgary Herald relates that Canadian Superior's shareholders voted
on Wednesday to replace all but one of the Company's directors and
approve a plan of arrangement under which the Debtor will acquire
Challenger Energy Corp. through a share swap.  According to the
report, Canadian Superior's founder Greg Noval wasn't re-elected
as a director.

Rick Watkins was the sole director that was re-elected in Canadian
Superior, according to Calgary Herald.  The report says that the
new board also includes four candidates proposed by Palo Alto,
Kerry Brittain, Marvin Chronister, James Funk, William Roach, and
Gregory Turnbull.

Mr. Watkins said that a final creditors meeting was set for
Friday, while the plan of arrangement will be presented for court
approval on September 14, Calgary Herald states.  The report
quoted Mr. Watkins as saying, "The complexion or the profile of
the company is unchanged except that we will have a clean balance
sheet, a new line of credit and capital available to develop our
assets in Western Canada and pick up new assets and be somewhat
opportunistic about doing so.  The Company's business plan in the
past has been to use the western Canadian assets to fund
opportunities in other parts of the world . . . we're going to
focus on them now."

According to Calgary Herald, Mr. Watkins said that under the plan,
creditors owed about US$120 million will be repaid 100% plus
interest.  Canadian Superior will also be alb to complete the sale
of a 45% stake in Trinidad Block 5c to BG for US $142.5 million,
the report says, citing Mr. Watkins.  Canadian Superior will keep
a 25% stake in the block, the report states.

Canadian Superior Energy Inc. -- http://www.cansup.com/-- is a
Calgary, Alberta, Canada-based diversified global energy company
engaged in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas,
and liquefied natural gas projects, with operations offshore
Trinidad and Tobago, offshore Nova Scotia, Canada, in Western
Canada, in the United States and in North Africa.

On March 5, 2009, Canadian Superior made an application for
protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and an
Initial Order was granted by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta
for creditor protection for 20 days, which was subsequently
extended to May 4, 2009, June 4, 2009, July 24, 2009, and
Sept. 15, 2009.  Deloitte & Touche Inc. was appointed Interim
Receiver of the Company's Participation Interest in Block 5(c)
Trinidad pursuant to a Court Order granted by the Court of Queen's
Bench of Alberta.  At June 30, 2009, the Company estimates its net
obligation to the receiver to be approximately $49.5 million,
which includes $74.6 million paid by the receiver net of
$25.1 million of Block 5(c) joint interest billings collected by
the receiver on the Company's behalf.  The Court appointed Hardie
and Kelly Inc. as Monitor of the Company.


CATALYST CORP: Obtains PEFC Chain of Custody at Paper Mills
-----------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst Paper Corp. has obtained chain-of-custody certification
from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
(PEFC) for its four Canadian paper mills.

The certification is effective September 1, 2009, and replaces the
PricewaterhouseCoopers chain of custody which was implemented in
2004.  Unlike the previous system, PEFC enables Catalyst to label
select paper products as originating from forests managed to
specific certification standards.

"Catalyst has a well-established environmental management system
at all our mills," said Richard Garneau, president and CEO, "and
this extends to our preference for certified fibre. Converting our
BC mills to PEFC -- a widely recognized chain of custody - lets
customers know our fibre sourcing, tracking and verification also
measures up to high standards."

Earlier this year, the company achieved Forest Stewardship Council
certification at its recycle mill in Snowflake, Arizona.  Catalyst
also produces FSC-certified de-inked pulp at its Paper Recycling
Division in British Columbia.

PEFC is an independent, non-profit organization that assesses and
mutually recognizes national forest certification programs
developed through multi-stakeholder processes.  Catalyst
manufactures paper using fiber certified under two PEFC-recognized
programs -- the Canadian Standards Association and the Sustainable
Forestry Initiative.

Catalyst will allocate and track available fiber supplies using
the credit system so as to ensure that select paper products
contain 100 per cent certified fiber.  Under PEFC, customers are
able to give their support for certification greater visibility
with on-product use of a PEFC label or an SFI logo.

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

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

CDX CORP: District Court Blesses Parties' Expert Witnesses
----------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that in an action by a corporation's liquidating
trustee against lenders and members of the corporation's board of
directors for breach of fiduciary duty, the plaintiff's proffered
expert on corporate governance was a qualified expert in fiduciary
duty law whose opinions would assist the jury.  The expert
possessed sufficient training and experience in that he was a law
professor, a specialist in the field of corporate law, a
practicing lawyer, a published author regarding a variety of
corporate law topics, and a former management consultant.  The
expert, moreover, had dealings with in excess of 20 separate
boards of directors, had made presentations regarding issues of
business and regulatory strategy, corporate governance, and other
high-level management issues, and had analyzed valuation models
for investors considering investing in private companies.  The
expert was not rendered unqualified to testify simply because he

Liquidating Trusee v. Venrock Associates, --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL
2767042 (N.D. Ill.) (Denlow, J.).

CDX, formerly known as Cadant, sold its assets to Arris Group,
Inc., and then filed for bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 02-
B-_____) on June 17, 2002.  The Honorable Eugene R. Wedoff
approved a reorganization plan and closed the bankruptcy
proceedings related to CDX on November 1, 2004.  The plan included
provisions commencement of litigation against various parties for
breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary
duties, negligence, fraud, conspiracy, and equitable
subordination.  That lawsuit was filed (N.D. Ill. Case No. 04-C-
7236) in 2004 against:

    * Venrock Associates,
    * Venrock Associates II, L.P.,
    * Venrock Entrepreneurs Fund L.P. Hambrecht & Quist
      California,
    * H & Q Employee Venture Fund 2000, L.P,
    * Access Technology Partners, L.P.,
    * Access Technology Partners Brokers Fund, L.P.,
    * H & Q Cadant Investors, L.P.,
    * Chase Equity Associates, L.L.C.,
    * J.P. Morgan Partners (BHCA), L.L.C.,
    * Eric Copeland,
    * C.H. Randolph Lyon,
    * Stephan Oppenheimer, and
    * Charles Walker,

alleging that (1) from January 2000 through May 2001, all or most
of the Defendants spurned legitimate third-party financing in
order to engage in self-dealing bridge loans on terms highly
unfavorable to Plaintiff; (2) the rejection of the third-party
financing offers was predicated on continued assurances from
certain Defendants they would support the company with fair and
equitable financing; and (3) subsequent to gaining control through
bridge loans, Defendants sold the company to Arris with Defendants
-- not shareholders -- recovering funds through the sale.  The
liquidating trustee appointed under CDX's chapter 11 plan is suing
the lenders and members of corporation's board of directors for
breach of fiduciary duty, alleging that defendants gained control
of corporation through self-dealing bridge loans on terms highly
unfavorable to corporation and then sold corporation in
transaction in which shareholders recovered nothing.

As the litigation moves toward trial, the parties filed motions in
limine seeking to exclude expert testimony.  Considering those
motions, United States Magistrate Judge Morton Denlow, held that
(A) the defendants' proffered expert on the internet
infrastructure market was qualified to give expert testimony; (B)
the opinions of defendants' expert were reliable and relevant; (C)
the testimony of defendants' expert was not unscientific
speculation; (D) the testimony of defendants' expert regarding
post-September 11th events was proper; (E) plaintiff's proffered
expert on corporate governance was a qualified expert in fiduciary
duty law whose opinions would assist the jury; (F) plaintiff's
expert could not testify about his interpretation of the governing
law, but could provide a backdrop of general principles against
which the jury could view the case; and (G) the opinions of
plaintiff's expert explaining directors' duties and how the
directors acted in this case were admissible.


CENA LLC: Objections to Discharge of Debts Due November 9
---------------------------------------------------------
A meeting of creditors of Cena LLC under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 341(a) was
held September 9, 2009, before the Office of the U.S. Trustee.
According to the docket, objections to the dischargeability of
certain debts are due November 9, 2009.

CENA LLC, as debtor-in-possession, has obtained approval to hire
Ira H. Thomsen as bankruptcy counsel.

Cena LLC's Cena restaurant, the Brazilian and Mediterranean
steakhouse near the Dayton Mall, remains in business, despite
filing for Chapter 11 protection in August.  Restaurant sales are
down 35 percent from two years ago, said Eva Christian, Cena's
founder and sole member, in August, according to Dayton Daily
News.

CENA LLC runs a restaurant that offers a unique blend of both
Brazilian and Mediterranean dining traditions.  CENA filed for
Chapter 11 on August 12, 2009 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio Case No.
09-34990).  The petition says assets are under $50,000 while debts
are between $500,001 and $1,000,000.  The petition was signed by
Eva Christian, sole member of the Company.

Eva Christian, and another restaurant he owns Cafe Boulevard Ltd.,
filed for bankruptcy in April 2009.  That restaurant, still open,
has been reorganizing its debts under Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection.


CERTIFICHECKS: Filed for Bankr. to Reimburse Certificate Holders
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that CertifiChecks Inc.'s founder and
president Steven Buchholz sent the Company to Chapter 7 bankruptcy
protection to preserve remaining assets to help reimburse
certificate holders.

CertifiChecks would have run out of money in September 2009, The
AP relates, citing Mr. Buchholz.  According to the report,
Mr. Buchholz said that these factors cause CertifiChecks' failure:

     -- dropping sales,

     -- a long-standing policy of honoring expired gift
        certificates, and

     -- a rush by the public to redeem certificates amid a
        deteriorating economy.

Mr. Buchholz, The AP states, said that CertifiChecks planned to
operate on a month-by-month basis.

Citing the court-appointed trustee, The AP states that more than
1,167 claims seeking $2.3 million in compensation have been filed
against CertifiChecks.  The report says that the deadline for
seeking compensation from CertifiChecks was Tuesday.  According to
the report, $279,000 is available to pay the claims and
administrative costs.

CertifiChecks, Inc. -- http://www.certifichecks.com/-- is
headquartered in Dayton, Ohio serving consumers and merchants
nationwide.  Its gift certificate offers business merchants
redemption, similar to a bank check.  CertifiChecks has developed
a customizable gift certificate that processes like a check
through the national Federal Reserve banking system.  Each gift
certificate is customer personalized and merchant branded.


CHAMPION ENTERPRISES: First Pacific No Longer Holds Equity Stake
----------------------------------------------------------------
First Pacific Advisors, LLC, FPA Capital Fund, Inc., Robert L.
Rodriguez, Managing Member of FPA, and J. Richard Atwood, Managing
Member of FPA, disclose in a regulatory filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission that they no longer hold shares of
Champion Enterprises, Inc.

Troy, Michigan-based Champion Enterprises, Inc. --
http://www.championhomes.com/-- operates 27 manufacturing
facilities in North America and the United Kingdom distributing
its products through independent retailers, builders and
developers.  The Champion family of builders produces manufactured
and modular homes, as well as modular buildings for government and
commercial applications.

As of July 4, 2009, the Company had $596.4 million in total
assets; and total current liabilities of $269.6 million, long-term
debt of $193.5 million, deferred tax liabilities of $38.1 million,
and other long-term liabilities of $31.4 million; resulting in
shareholders' equity of $63.6 million.

In August 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its
ratings, including its corporate credit ratings, on Champion
Enterprises and Champion Home Builders.  S&P lowered the corporate
credit ratings to 'CC' from 'CCC-'.  The outlook is negative.
"The rating action reflects the increased likelihood of a debt
restructuring, which S&P would view as distressed and tantamount
to default," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst George Skoufis.

At the end of the second quarter, the company was not in
compliance with the amended financial covenants contained in its
bank credit facility.  In addition to seeking an amendment to the
credit facility, Champion is exploring other alternatives, which
could include a debt restructuring.

On September 2, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to its
credit agreement with Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, that
provides, among other things, for an additional 30-day extension
of the waiver of certain covenants through October 12, 2009.

CHECKER MOTORS: To Pay Severance to More Than 100 Workers
---------------------------------------------------------
Alex Nixon at Kalamazoo Gazette reports that Checker Motors Corp.
will make severance payments to more than 100 employees, after the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge James D. Gregg approved a settlement
between the Company and the United Steel Workers Local 2-682.

According to Kalamazoo Gazette, Checker Motors closed its
Kalamazoo plant at the end of June.  The Company sold its
contracts to produce parts for General Motors Corp. and much of
its equipment to two Canadian auto suppliers.

Kalamazoo Gazette relates that the individual severance payments
range from $700 to $4,600, depending on how long the employee
worked for Checker Motors.  Total severance pays are more than
$528,000, less health insurance premiums, Kalamazoo Gazette
states.  According to the report, Checker Motors will send checks
to its 125 hourly workers.  The Company, the report says, will
also continue to provide health insurance benefits to the
employees and 176 Checker retirees through the end of September.
The union's collective bargaining agreement with Checker Motors
has been eliminated, the report states.

Headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Checker Motors Corporation
was established by Morris Markin in 1922 through a merger of
Commonwealth Motors and Markin Automobile Body.  The Debtor, once
the manufacturer of the famed Checker automobile (the iconic
American taxi cab), is a Kalamazoo, Michigan-based automotive
parts supplier that makes metal stampings and welded assemblies
for various car and truck lines.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on January 16, 2009
(Bankr. W.D. Mich. Case No. 09-00358).  Christopher A. Grosman,
Esq., at Carson Fischer, P.L.C., represents the Debtor in its
restructuring efforts.  The Debtor proposed Plante & Moran as
financial advisor; Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as claims,
noticing and balloting agent; and McCarthy Smith Law Group as
special counsel.  An official committee of unsecured creditors has
been appointed in the case.  As of December 31, 2008, the Debtor
had $22.3 million in assets and $20.1 million in debts.

------------------------------------------------------
Baker & McKenzie was previously employed by Chemtura Corp. as a
professional in the ordinary course of their businesses.

The Debtors currently seek the Court's authority to expand their
retention of Baker & McKenzie.  The Debtors specifically seek to
employ Baker & McKenzie as heir special counsel nunc pro tunc to
July 1, 2009.

The Debtors believe that Baker is particularly well suited to
serve as their special counsel because Baker is one of the
world's largest law firms with approximately 4,000 attorneys in
69 offices in 40 countries.  The Debtors contend that Baker's
knowledge, resources and international reach permit it to deliver
high quality legal services throughout the world with fluency,
consistency, confidence and sensitivity for cultural, social and
legal practice differences outside of the United States.

As the Debtors' special counsel, Baker will provide services in
relation to:

  (a) the strategic review and drafting of material contracts,
      including commercial, joint venture and debt and equity
      restructuring documents;

  (b) the Debtors' antitrust and competition law compliance and
      strategy in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions;

  (c) advice regarding certain aspects of the Debtors' non-US
      subsidiaries, including advice relating to corporate
      formalities and commercial arrangements;

  (d) certain potential sales and purchases of assets of the
      Debtors, including drafting documents, effectuating due
      diligence, participating in negotiations, and providing
      other services in support of possible transactions; and

  (e) the prosecution and defense of various litigation matters
      in foreign jurisdictions.

The Debtors will pay Baker on an hourly basis and will reimburse
the firm of its necessary out-of-pocket expenses.  Baker's hourly
rates are:

      US Partners                  $500 to $925
      US Of Counsel                $400 to $700
      US Associates                $295 to $540
      US Trainees/Paralegals       $100 to $250

The Debtors note that during the 90-day period before the
Petition Date, they paid Baker $86,253 for professional services
performed and expenses incurred.  The Debtors have also been
advised that Baker had issued unpaid invoices for legal services
done for the Debtors' benefit and expenses incurred, totaling
approximately $441,911.

Dieter A. Schmitz, Esq., a partner at Baker, assures the Court
that his firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined
in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

CHEMTURA CORP: To Assume Sprague Energy Pact
--------------------------------------------
Prepetition, Chemtura Corp. and Sprague Energy Corp. entered into
a natural gas sales agreement, pursuant to which Sprague supplies
natural gas for certain of the Debtors' manufacturing locations at
a fixed price and volume which range from $9 to $10 per MMBTU.

However, due to the significant decrease in the market price of
natural gas in the market, the Debtors are making payments to
Sprague in amounts exceeding the market value of the natural gas
received by up to $150,000 per month.

Accordingly, the Parties agree to amend the terms of their
original Agreement to reflect that:

  a. Sprague will supply natural gas to Chemtura Corporation for
     August 2009 and Chemtura will pay Sprague the market price
     for the natural gas, plus 50% of the price differential
     between the current market price and the contract price of
     the natural gas provided for in the Original Agreement.
     Sprague will bear the cost of the remaining 50% of the
     price differential between the market price of natural gas
     in August 2009 and the contract price for the same provided
     for in the Agreement;

  b. For the months of September 2009 through December 2009,
     Sprague will supply natural gas to Chemtura at a price
     determined in accordance with the New York Mercantile
     Exchange monthly last day settlement price and the monthly
     contract basis price;

  c. The 2009 fixed price contracts between Sprague and Chemtura
     may be liquidated at Sprague's discretion prior to the
     close of the September 2009 transaction between the
     parties.  Sprague will bear the cost of any loss incurred
     based on the difference between the contract and market
     price.  Sprague will file a general unsecured claim with
     the Court within 30 days after the Stipulation and Order is
     approved by the Court, for the full amount of the mark-to-
     market loss generated by the liquidation of the remaining
     fixed price contracts for 2009 and the loss from the
     assumption of 50% of the difference between the contract
     price and the market price by Sprague set in section (a);

  d. Chemtura will not be required to prepay for any of the
     natural gas supplied by Sprague during the remainder of
     2009 and through December 2010;

  e. The amount of the security deposit posted by Chemtura will
     be $300,000 to cover gas supply in an amount based on the
     cost of natural gas to be supplied by Sprague for the month
     of January 2010.  In the event the cost of natural gas for
     any month beyond January 2010 exceeds the security deposit
     posted, the security deposit will be increased to meet the
     increased amount.  Sprague will not be required to pay
     Chemtura the amount of any interest earned on account of
     Chemtura's security deposit;

  f. Sprague will maintain standard payment terms for Chemtura
     for the remainder of 2009, through and including December
     2010, and will not require any monthly prepay or additional
     security beyond the security deposit;

  g. Sprague agrees that Chemtura may purchase a fixed price
     supply of natural gas from Sprague through December 2010
     and up to 80% of monthly volume requirements in accordance
     with price terms to be agreed upon by the parties and
     without demand for financial assurance above the security
     deposit specified in section (e); and

  h. Except as specifically amended by the Amendments, all other
     terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in force and
     effect.

CHRYSLER LLC: Kenosha Workers Eligible for Aid
----------------------------------------------
The U.S. Department of Labor said that workers from Chrysler's
engine plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin, are eligible to receive Trade
Adjustment Assistance, according to a report by The Business
Journal of Milwaukee.

The Kenosha workers are part of a larger group of about 3,500 auto
workers from companies in nine states that recently received TAA
certification.  The certification will provide assistance to over
300 workers who lost their jobs at the Kenosha plant.

"Auto workers around the country are facing reduced hours and
layoffs as a direct result of foreign competition.  These workers
deserve our support as they upgrade current skills or seek out new
careers in promising regional industries," The Business Journal
quoted U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis as saying.

Workers covered by TAA certification will be contacted by their
respective states and instructed on how to apply for individual
benefits and services.  Those who apply may receive case
management and re-employment services, training in new
occupational skills, among other things.

The report notes that workers 50 years of age and older may elect
to receive Re-employment Trade Adjustment Assistance.  If a worker
obtains new employment at wages less than $55,000 and less than
those earned in adversely affected employment, the RTAA program
will pay 50% of the difference between the old wage and the new
wage, up to $12,000 over a two-year period.  The participants may
also be eligible for retraining and health care tax credit.

CHRYSLER LLC: MDL Plaintiffs Want Class Claim Allowed
-----------------------------------------------------
In October 2007, Torrance Greene, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated individuals, commenced a class action
lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of
New Jersey against DaimlerChrysler Corp. and Chrysler, LLC, titled
Torrance Greene v. Daimler Chrysler Corp., et al., Case No. 2:07-
1740, District of New Jersey.

On October 14, 2008, Mr. Greene and the plaintiffs in these cases
moved the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for an order
to transfer and consolidate the actions:

  (a) Lisa Stuart, Scott Stuart, Patricia Heinen, John Darago
      and Mike Potter v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., Case No. 1:08-
      632, Eastern District of California;

  (b) Joan Capobianco v. Daimler Chrysler Corp., et al., Case
      No. 2:08-329, Middle District of Florida; and

  (c) Don Harris v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., et al., Case No.
      1:08-2638, Northern District of Illinois.

On February 10, 2009, the JPML determined that the class actions
should be consolidated for coordinated pretrial proceedings with
the Greene action in the United States District Court for New
Jersey.

The Chrysler MDL Classes relate to Chrysler vehicles for the model
years 1998 through 2004.  The MDL Plaintiffs assert property
damage claims based upon the same engine design defect common to
all class vehicles.  They allege that the design defect causes the
formation of oil sludge which, in turn, causes engine damage and
failure.  The JPML determined that the actions shared factual
questions arising out of the allegation of a common design defect
in the engines in class vehicles and that the actions were "nearly
identical in terms of facts alleged."

Two actions were subsequently transferred as "tag along" cases,
and the actions are collectively referred as the "MDL Classes."
The two actions are:

  (a) Robert Trezza v. Chrysler, LLC, et al., Case No. 2:09-
      01149, West Virginia; and

  (b) Ellen Burke v. Chrysler LLC, et al., Case No. 1:08-11896,
      District of Massachusetts.

In all pleadings, the MDL Classes named Chrysler LLC as defendant.

R. Scott Williams, Esq., at Haskell Slaughter Young & Rediker,
LLC, in Birmingham, Alabama, contends that the number of class
members in the consolidated MDL Classes is in the many thousands
because thousands of engines in Class Vehicles have failed.  He
notes that the cost to repair the failed engines range from $5,000
to $10,000, and that all Class Vehicles have suffered engine
damage and reduced useful life as a result of the design defect.

The MDL Plaintiffs point out that the filing of a Class proof of
claim is appropriate because there are substantially similar
factual claims in the consolidated Class cases.

Accordingly, the MDL Plaintiffs ask the Court to allow the class
representatives in the MDL classes to file class proofs of claim.
They also ask the Court to allow appropriate discovery under Rule
9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and to
establish a schedule for determining class action certification
issues.

The Court will commence a hearing on September 24, 2009, to
consider the request.  Objections are due September 11.

CHRYSLER LLC: New Chrysler Reports 5% Sales Hike in August
----------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler Group LLC reported a 5 percent increase in U.S. sales
compared with July 2009 despite low inventory levels on a number
of popular nameplates, notes an official statement issued by the
company.  Dealership traffic continued at a high level during the
month of August, in part due to the U.S. government's Car
Allowance Rebate System (CARS), more commonly known as "cash for
clunkers."

"Chrysler Group had another strong sales month in August with the
majority of Chrysler Group nameplates posting year-over-year or
month-over-month sales improvements," said Peter Fong, President

        Chrysler Canada's August 2009 Sales Results

Chrysler Canada, for its part, announced in a separate statement
sales of 14,432 units for the month of August, compared with
15,548 in August 2008.  Results have continued to strengthen in
the past two months, fueled by sales of the Dodge Grand Caravan
and Chrysler 300 and 300C, says the report.

According to the statement, Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town
& Country combined sales reached 5,167 units, the highest level
since May 2008.  This figure represents an increase of 92 per cent
compared with August 2008.  Dodge Grand Caravan alone outsold the
nearest minivan competitor by a margin of seven to one, and
accounted for an unprecedented 66 per cent of the segment.  To
meet the ongoing demand, Chrysler recently announced that it would
retain the third shift at the Windsor Assembly Plant.

"Momentum has been building at Chrysler Canada throughout the
summer," said Reid Bigland, president and CEO of Chrysler Canada.
"With our Windsor minivan plant now operating around the clock and
our minivans currently commanding 70 per cent segment share, this
is great news for prospective customers and bad news for the
competition."

In addition to the Dodge Grand Caravan gains, Dodge Charger sales
increased year-over-year by 66 per cent to a total of 463 units.

Chrysler brand sales posted an increase of 23 per cent over the
same month in 2008, with total sales of 1,498.  Sales of the
Chrysler 300 and 300C reached 859 units, up 174 per cent compared
with August 2008.  Chrysler Town & Country sales rose 30 per cent
to 309 units.

Due primarily to the strength of the Brampton Ontario-built
Chrysler 300/300C and Dodge Charger, Chrysler Canada passenger car
sales grew eight per cent over August 2008 to 2,713 units.

"It is great to see that Canadians are supporting the home team,"
Mr. Bigland continued.  "Sales of our 'Made in Canada' vehicles
are up an impressive 94 per cent over last year."

For the month of September, Chrysler Canada is introducing "Dare
to Compare," encouraging Canadians in the market for a new vehicle
to put the company's Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge products up
against all competitors.  As the maker of Canada's No. 1 selling
minivan, most popular crossover, and most awarded 2009 pickup
truck, the company is confident competitive makes won't stack up.
Dare to Compare offers total cash discounts of up to $7,500 plus
zero per cent purchase financing for 36 months on virtually all
2009 Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge models.

For example, says the company statement, the 2009 Dodge Grand
Caravan is available from $19,999 plus zero per cent purchase
financing for 36 months.  This vehicle includes a V6 engine; air
conditioning; automatic transmission; seven-passenger seating;
anti-lock brake system (ABS); Electronic Stability Program (ESP);
side curtain airbags; power windows, locks and mirrors; and much
more.

The 2009 Dodge Journey, Canada's most popular crossover, remains
the best value in its segment with an array of comfort, safety and
convenience features for only $18,495, note the Company.  Standard
equipment includes the fuel-efficient 2.4-litre 173-horsepower 16-
valve 4-cylinder engine with variable valve timing; automatic
transmission; ABS; ESP; side curtain air bags; power windows,
locks and mirrors; and much more.

The 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 is available for only $28,499, and is
equipped with the 5.7-litre 390-horsepower HEMI(R) V8 with fuel-
saving Multi-displacement System (MDS); 5-speed automatic
transmission; air conditioning; 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS; ESP;
side curtain air bags; trailer sway control; segment-exclusive
coil-spring, five-link rear suspension; SIRIUS Satellite Radio;
and more.

Dare to Compare is in addition to Chrysler Canada's recently-
announced partnership with the federal government's Retire Your
Ride program.  Chrysler Canada's Cash for Clunkers program is the
country's most aggressive scrappage incentive, with the company
offering $500 to $1,500 on top of the government's rewards and all
other retail incentives.

"There has been very strong interest in our Cash for Clunkers
initiative," said Dave Buckingham, vice president of Sales,
Chrysler Canada.  "As the only official partner of Retire Your
Ride, it gives consumers the opportunity to do something good for
the environment, while rewarding themselves with a great new
Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge product."

CHRYSLER LLC: Old CarCo Plan Filing Deadlne Moved to Nov. 30

CHRYSLER LLC: Taxpayers May Not Likely Recoup Investment
--------------------------------------------------------
A report by the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled
Asset Relief Program supported assumptions that taxpayers will not
likely recoup their almost $65 billion investment in Chrysler and
General Motors Corp., Reuters reported.

"The ultimate recovery on this investment will depend on what
those companies are worth," Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard Law School
professor who chairs the TARP panel, wrote in the report.

The government holds an 8% stake in Chrysler and a 60% stake in GM
in return for the loans it extended to the automakers to fund
their restructuring.  The funds were taken from the $700 billion
bailout program, which was implemented by the government to help
struggling financial institutions.

The Task Force on the Auto Industry said earlier that Chrysler is
not expected to offer shares of stock for sale until 2011 through
an initial public offering while GM is expected to hold a public
offering next year.

The TARP panel also wrote in its report that there were
significant obstacles to the automakers achieving the level of
profitability that would permit return of the entire investment,
and that the U.S. Treasury's best estimates are that some
significant portion of the funds will never be recovered, Reuters
reported.

The TARP panel's report also recommended that the government
should consider a trust for its stake in the automakers to ensure
independent oversight and facilitate an exit strategy.  But
Treasury officials said a trust may violate federal law in the
case of automakers, Reuters reported.

alliance with Fiat Group, produces Chrysler, Jeep(R), Dodge,
Mopar(R) and Global Electric Motors (GEM) brand vehicles and
products.  With the resources, technology and worldwide
distribution network required to compete on a global scale, the
alliance builds on Chrysler's culture of innovation -- first
established by Walter P. Chrysler in 1925 -- and Fiat's
complementary technology -- from a company whose heritage dates
back to 1899.

Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Chrysler Group LLC's
product lineup features some of the world's most recognizable
vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Ram.
Fiat will contribute world-class technology, platforms and
powertrains for small- and medium-sized cars, allowing Chrysler
Group to offer an expanded product line including environmentally
friendly vehicles.

Chrysler LLC and 24 affiliates on April 30 sought Chapter 11
protection from creditors (Bankr. S.D.N.Y (Mega-case), Lead Case
No. 09-50002).  Chrysler hired Jones Day, as lead counsel; Togut
Segal & Segal LLP, as conflicts counsel; Capstone Advisory Group
LLC, and Greenhill & Co. LLC, for financial advisory services; and
Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC, as its claims agent.  Chrysler has
changed its corporate name to Old CarCo following its sale to a
Fiat-owned company.  As of December 31, 2008, Chrysler had
$39,336,000,000 in assets and $55,233,000,000 in debts.  Chrysler
had $1.9 billion in cash at that time.

In connection with the bankruptcy filing, Chrysler reached an
agreement with Fiat SpA, the U.S. and Canadian governments and
other key constituents regarding a transaction under Section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code that would effect an alliance between
Chrysler and Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat.  Under the
terms approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the company formerly known
as Chrysler LLC on June 10, 2009, formally sold substantially all
of its assets, without certain debts and liabilities, to a new
company that will operate as Chrysler Group LLC.  Fiat has a 20
percent equity interest in Chrysler Group.

News.  The newsletter tracks the Chapter 11 proceedings of

CITADEL BROADCASTING: Bank Debt Trades at 42% Off
-------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Citadel
Broadcasting Corporation is a borrower traded in the secondary
market at 58.08 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday,
Sept. 11, 2009, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 1.28 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The loan matures on June 1, 2014.  The Company
pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank debt carries Moody's Caa3 rating and Standard & Poor's
CCC rating.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers
among widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the
week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (OTCBB:CTDB) is the third largest
radio group in the United States, with a national footprint
reaching more than 50 markets. Citadel is comprised of 165 FM
stations and 58 AM stations in the nation's leading markets, in
addition to the ABC Radio Network business, which is one of the
three largest radio networks in the United States.  See:

              http://www.cidatelbroadcasting.com/

Citadel had assets of $1.412 billion against debts of
$2.469 billion as of June 30, 2009.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 3, 2009,
Citadel Broadcasting Corp. is negotiating with senior debtholders
about "what the next step should be" after it skipped a $2 million
interest payment on its subordinated debt due Aug. 15, Sarah
McBride at The Wall Street Journal reports, citing Company CEO
Farid Suleman.  "All options are on the table," including
prepackage bankruptcy, debt restructuring, and another amendment
to the company's credit agreement, The Journal says, citing Mr.
Suleman, who admitted that Citadel might not be able to meet
conditions that kick in next January.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on June 29, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Citadel Broadcasting Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating to Caa3 from Caa2 and Probability of Default Rating of Ca
from Caa3.  In addition, Moody's downgraded Citadel's senior
secured credit facility to Caa3 from Caa2.  The rating outlook is
stable.

The TCR on June 3, 2009, stated that Standard & Poor's assigned
its unsolicited 'CCC' corporate credit rating to Citadel
Broadcasting Corp.  The rating outlook is negative.  At the same
time, S&P assigned the company's $2.34 billion senior secured
credit facilities an unsolicited issue-level rating of 'CCC' (at
the same level as the 'CCC' corporate credit rating).  S&P also
assigned the facilities a recovery rating of '4', indicating S&P's
expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default.

S&P believes that Citadel may be unable to comply with new
covenants added to its credit agreement following the completion
of its fourth amendment, specifically the requirement to have at
least $150 million of available cash as of Jan. 15, 2010.  Cash
balances were $25.4 million as of March 31, 2009.

CITY CAPITAL: Clarifies Related Party Transactions
--------------------------------------------------
City Capital Corporation on September 8, 2009, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission an amendment to the Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2008, to modify "Note 15: Related
Party Transactions in Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."  The Company entered into consulting
agreements with two marketing companies which are indirectly owned
by the Company's board of director, Waldo E. Brantley III.  As of
December 31, 2008, the Company has paid roughly $178,600 to the
two companies.  Note 15 has been amended to clarify the related
party transaction.

the Company holds a note receivable from Amorocorp with an
outstanding balance of $1,924,731.  The President of the Company

net operating income generated by the Company, and one percent of
any funds raised and received by the Company based on the
fundraising and marketing efforts of the President.  During 2008,
the President received $537,117 in bonuses.

The Company's President has agreed to apply any accrued unpaid
officer compensation received from City Capital to the related
party receivable.

On June 5, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting services
agreement with Web3Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation.  100% of
the outstanding shares of common stock of WEB3Direct, Inc., is
held by Sadiq Family Limited Partnership, a Nevada partnership in
which, the Company's Executive Vice President and a director, owns
a 5% interest and his wife, Anne Banas, owns a 95% interest.
However, Mr. Brantley is the general partner of this partnership

assets of this company.

Under this agreement, Web3Direct, Inc. is providing to the Company
all necessary services required in connection with providing
marketing and business growth consulting services.  Under the

As reported by the Troubled Company, City Capital has yet to file
its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for period ended June 30, 2009.
The Company informed the Securities and Exchange in an August 14
filing that it was in the process of compiling and reviewing
information for the June 30 Form 10-Q, which process has not yet
been completed.

The Company also has not filed its quarterly report for the period
ended March 31, 2009.

In its report dated March 27, 2009, on the financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 -- Spector, Wong &
Davidian, LLP, in Pasadena, California -- the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  The Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is an issue raised as a result of cash flow constraint, an
accumulated deficit of $12,152,194 as of December 31, 2008, and
recurring losses from operations.  The Company continues to
experience net losses.  The Company's ability to continue as a
going concern is subject to the ability to generate a profit or
obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining
additional funding from the sale of its securities, increasing
sales or obtaining loans from various financial institutions where
possible.  The continued net losses and stockholders' deficit
increases the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no
assurances that such methods will prove successful.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had total assets of
$2,531,761 and total liabilities of $4,839,438, resulting in
stockholders' deficit of $2,307,677.

CLAIRE'S STORES: Posts $3.7MM Net Loss for August 1 Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------
Claire's Stores, Inc., reported a net loss of $3.733 million for
the three months ended August 1, 2009, from a net loss of $16.93
million for the three months ended August 2, 2008.  The Company
reported a net loss of $32.75 million for the six months ended
August 1, 2009, from a net loss of $52.50 million for the six
months ended August 2, 2008.

The Company reported net sales of $314.2 million for the 2009
second quarter, a 12.7% decrease from the 2008 second quarter.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the effect of foreign
currency exchange rate changes, a decline in same store sales and
the effect of store closures, partially offset by new store sales.
Sales would have declined 7.4% excluding the impact from changes
in foreign currency exchange rates.

Consolidated same store sales declined 6.9% in the fiscal 2009
second quarter caused primarily by a decline in average
transactions per store of 6.7%.  The decline in the number of
transactions reflects weaker traffic.  In North America, same
store sales decreased 9.9%, with sales at the Company's Icing
brand outperforming Claire's.  European same store sales declined
1.6%.

Chief Executive Officer Gene Kahn commented, "While we continue to
feel the effect of a challenging retail environment as well as the
impact of negative consumer confidence, our second quarter sales
performance had monthly sequential same store sales improvement.
During the second quarter, a decline in traffic coupled with a
highly promotional teen apparel specialty business caused a more
competitive environment for every customer dollar.  Since we are
very confident in our value proposition, we did not overreact to
the promotional activity, allowing us to improve our merchandise
margin.

"While it is difficult to compare our third quarter performance at
this point, because of various changes in the calendar, our
quarter to date same store sales are in the negative low single
digits.  Looking forward, we see no reason to believe the retail
environment will see significant near-term improvement and,
therefore, will continue to focus on controlling expenses and
maximizing available sales while generating positive free cash
flow."

At August 1, 2009, the Company had $2.85 billion in total assets;
and $190.73 million in total current liabilities and $2.72 billion
in total long-term and other liabilities, resulting in
$60.10 million in stockholders' deficit.  At August 1, 2009, cash
and cash equivalents were $182.4 million and $194.0 million
continued to be drawn on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company drew the full available amount under the facility
during the 2008 third quarter to preserve the availability of the
commitment because a member of the facility syndicate, Lehman
Brothers, filed for bankruptcy.  The agent bank has not yet found
a replacement for Lehman Brothers in the facility syndicate, or
arranged for the assumption of Lehman Brothers' commitment by a
creditworthy entity.  The Company will continue to assess whether
to pay down all or a portion of this outstanding balance based on
various factors, including the creditworthiness of other syndicate
members and general economic conditions.

The Company used cash in operating activities of $11.1 million in
the fiscal 2009 second quarter.  This was net of $47.7 million of
interest payments.  Capital expenditures during the 2009 second
quarter were $5.9 million, of which $4.3 million related to new
store openings and remodeling projects, compared with
$16.0 million of capital expenditures during the second quarter
2008.  During the fiscal 2009 second quarter, the Company also
paid $10.0 million to retire $27.8 million of its Senior
Subordinated Notes, which generated a gain on early debt
extinguishment of $17.1 million.

CLEAR CHANNEL: Bank Debt Trades at 32% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Clear Channel
Communications, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market
at 68.22 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.50
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures Jan. 30, 2016.  The Company pays 365 basis points
above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries
Moody's Caa2 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC rating.  The debt is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11,
among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

Clear Channel Communications, Inc. -- http://www.clearchannel.com/
-- is a diversified media company with three primary business
segments: radio broadcasting, outdoor advertising and live
entertainment. Clear Channel Communications is the operating
subsidiary of San Antonio, Texas-based CC Media Holdings, Inc.

Clear Channel Communications, Inc.'s balance sheet at March 31,
2009, showed total assets of $22.0 billion and total liabilities
of $25.4 billion, resulting in a members' deficit of $3.3 billion

The Troubled Company Reporter stated on Sept. 7, 2009, that
Moody's changed Clear Channel Communications, Inc.'s Probability-
of-Default rating to Caa3/LD from Caa3, reflecting Moody's view
that the recently completed exchange offer (which expired at 12:00
midnight EST on Aug. 27, 2009) constitutes an effective distressed
exchange default. Moody's expect to remove the "/LD" designation
shortly.  The outlook remains negative.  "Clear Channel's ratings
and negative outlook continue to reflect Moody's expectation that
the company will likely need to restructure its balance sheet,
either due to a violation of its senior secured leverage covenant
over the next several quarters, or within the next few years as
the company faces material maturities of debt with insufficient
liquidity to meet them and to much leverage to attract refinancing
capital," stated Neil Begley, a Moody's Senior Vice President.
Therefore, Moody's continues to believe that the company's capital
structure is unsustainable.


COMMERCECONNECT: Cygnus Expects Emergence in Two Weeks
------------------------------------------------------
Cygnus Business Media, Inc., said September 11 that the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has confirmed Cygnus
Business Media companies' joint pre-packaged Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization at a hearing held Tuesday.  In confirming the Plan,
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court also approved the Disclosure Statement
and pre-filing solicitation of the Plan of Reorganization,

of its 24 lenders on a financial restructuring plan.  The pre-
packaged Plan approved by the court calls for the restructuring of
secured debt by converting a portion to equity, providing a more
serviceable debt level and a stronger balance sheet.  It also
provides that all general unsecured creditors, including all
vendors, of Cygnus Business Media will be paid in full in the
ordinary course.

"The associates of Cygnus Business Media have continued to provide
high quality media and products that effectively serves our
advertisers, exhibitors, subscribers, attendees and readers
throughout this process," says Charles Carnaval, chief executive
officer of Cygnus Business Media.  "We have had full support of
our advertisers and vendors which has provided a great deal of
stability and focus.  We look forward to emerging as a much
stronger company financially and will continue to provide the best
in business-to-business media.  I want to take this time to thank
all of our employees for their ongoing hard work, to our vendors
for their continued support, and to our advertisers for placing
their faith in our products."

Cygnus Business Media is being advised by legal counsel, Curtis,
Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP; local counsel, Richards, Layton
& Finger, P.A.; financial advisors, Zolfo Cooper LLC; and

CORUS BANK, CHICAGO: Closed; MB Financial Assumes All Deposits
--------------------------------------------------------------
Corus Bank, National Association, Chicago, Illinois, was closed
September 11 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 MB Financial Bank, National
Association, Chicago, Illinois, to assume all of the deposits of
Corus Bank, N.A.

The eleven branches of Corus Bank will reopen on their next
normally scheduled business day as branches of MB Financial Bank.
Depositors of Corus Bank will automatically become depositors of
MB Financial Bank.  Deposits will continue to be insured by the
FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage.
Customers should continue to use their existing branches until MB
Financial Bank can fully integrate the deposit records of Corus
Bank.

This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Corus Bank can
access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards.
Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed.  Loan
customers should continue to make their payments as usual.

As of June 30, 2009, Corus Bank had total assets of $7 billion and
total deposits of approximately $7 billion.  MB Financial Bank
will pay the FDIC a premium of 0.2 percent to assume all of the
deposits of Corus Bank.  In addition to assuming all of the
deposits of the failed bank, MB Financial Bank agreed to purchase
approximately $3 billion of the assets, comprised mainly of cash
and marketable securities.  The FDIC will retain the remaining
assets for later disposition.  The FDIC plans to sell
substantially all of the remaining assets of Corus Bank in the
next 30 days in a private placement transaction.

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-823-5017.  Interested parties can also
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

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

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $1.7 billion.  MB Financial Bank's acquisition of
all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's
DIF compared to alternatives.  Corus Bank is the 90th FDIC-insured
institution to fail in the nation this year, and the sixteenth in

was Platinum Community Bank, Rolling Meadows, on September 4,
2009.


COYOTES HOCKEY: Balsillie, NHL Increase Bids for Hockey Team
-------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church at Bloomberg News reports that Jim Balsillie and the
National Hockey League have increased their bids for Phoenix
Coyotes, less than two hours before the auction was scheduled to
end.

According to Bloomberg, Mr. Balsillie offered at least $50 million
to the city of Glendale and $192.5 million to all other creditors.
NHL, says the report, offered to pay almost all creditors in full
and guarantee at least $18.3 million to those who won't be fully
repaid.

Citing Glendale city attorney William R. Baldiga, Bloomberg
relates that the Glendale City Council will meet this week to
discuss the new offers.

Phil Wahba at Reuters states that a National Hockey League lawyer
told Mr. Balsillie on Friday that he will need to apologize if he
wants to acquire Phoenix Coyotes.  Reuters says that the NHL
accused Mr. Balsillie of trying to use the bankruptcy system to
dodge its authority to decide where a team can move, as both
Mr. Balsillie and Phoenix Coyotes didn't inform the league of the
offer.

According to Bloomberg, Mr. Balsillie has asked Judge Redfield T.
Baum to allow him to buy and move the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes to
a city about 40 miles from Toronto over the league owners'
objections.  His lawyers argued that the league denied
Mr. Balsillie's ownership application out of spite and to protect
one of its most profitable teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs, from
competition.  The league's constitution gives every team a veto to
prevent a rival from moving into its territory.

Reuters relates that the court would make his decision on the
auction late this week.

Dewey Ranch Hockey LLC, Arena Management Group, LLC, Coyotes
Holdings, LLC, and Coyotes Hockey, LLC -- owners and affiliates of
the Phoenix Coyotes National Hockey League team -- filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 09-09488) on
May 5, 2009.  The Debtors are represented by Thomas J. Salerno,
Esq., at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, LLP, in Phoenix, and estimate
their assets and liabilities are between $100 million and
$500 million.

Jim Balsillie, Research in Motion Ltd.'s co-chief executive
officer, offered to buy the Phoenix Coyotes for $212 million and
move the NHL team to Hamilton, Ontario, and the League balked at
the relocation proposal.  Mr. Balsillie was unsuccessful in 2007
when he attempted to buy and relocate the Nashville Predators, and
lost a similar bid in 2006 to buy and relocate the Pittsburgh
Penguins.


CRAZY KAREN'S: Closes After Failing to Pay Drink Tax
----------------------------------------------------
Karamagi Rujumba at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Common
Pleas Judge Robert J. Colville ordered the closure of Todd's By
the Bridge and Crazy Karen's bars due to failure of paying
Allegheny County's 7% drink tax.

According to Post-Gazette, Todd's By the Bridge, owes the county
some $50,000, and Crazy Karen's, owes about $20,000.  Post-Gazette
relates that Treasurer John Weinstein, whose office is in charge
of collecting the tax, said that after several attempts to collect
taxes from the bars, he ran out of patience.

Talerico's bar was also part of the judge's order, but its owner
agreed to pay $27,000 in back taxes, Post-Gazette states.


DANA HOLDING: Bank Debt Trades at 22% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Dana Holding
Corporation is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 78.07
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.39
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on Jan. 31, 2015.  The Company pays 375 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard & Poor's B rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11,
among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

Based in Toledo, Ohio, Dana Holding Corporation  --
http://www.dana.com/-- designs and manufactures products for
every major vehicle producer in the world, and supplies
drivetrain, chassis, structural, and engine technologies to those
companies.  Dana employs 46,000 people in 28 countries.  Dana is
focused on being an essential partner to automotive, commercial,
and off-highway vehicle customers, which collectively produce more
than 60 million vehicles annually.  Dana has facilities in China
in the Asia-Pacific, Argentina in the Latin-American regions and
Italy in Europe.

Dana Corp., together with affiliates, affiliates filed for Chapter
11 protection on March 3, 2006 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 06-
10354).  Attorneys at Jones Day represented the Debtors.  It
emerged from bankruptcy Jan. 31, 2008, and the reorganized entity
was named Dana Holding Corporation.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 9, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service lowered the Corporate Family Rating of
Dana Holding Corporation to 'Caa2', raised the Probability of
Default Rating to 'Caa1', and adjusted the ratings of certain debt
instruments.  According to Moody's, the positioning of Dana's PDR
at 'Caa1' reflects ongoing pressures the company faces from the
continued erosion in the global automotive and commercial vehicle
markets.

DELTA AIR: Courting Japan Airlines for Minority Stake
-----------------------------------------------------
Delta Air Line Inc. is seeking a minority stake of around
$300 million in Japan Airlines Corp., much to the chagrin of
American Airlines, Mike Esterl at The Wall Street Journal reports,
citing people familiar with the matter.

The Journal relates that Delta also wants JAL to join its rival
SkyTeam alliance.

According to The Journal, AMR is in talks with Japan Airlines
Corp. to forge an expansive joint venture with the carrier, to
keep JAL away from Delta.

The Journal says that American Airlines would also consider taking
a minority stake in JAL, although any such investment would likely
be capped at hundreds of millions of dollars.  The report states
that American Airlines, which doesn't have a hub in Japan, relies
on JAL.  The two airlines, says the report, have had code-sharing
deals since the 1990s.

With its acquisition of Northwest Airlines, Atlanta, Georgia-based
Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) -- http://www.delta.com/or
http://www.nwa.com/-- is now the world's largest airline.  From
its hubs in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis-St.
Paul, New York-JFK, Salt Lake City and Tokyo-Narita, Delta, its
Northwest subsidiary and Delta Connection carriers offer service
to more than 376 destinations worldwide in 66 countries and serves
more than 170 million passengers each year.  Delta's marketing
alliances allow customers to earn and redeem either SkyMiles or
WorldPerks on more than 16,000 daily flights offered by SkyTeam
and other partners.  The merger closed on October 29, 2008.

Northwest and 12 affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on
September 14, 2005 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 05-17930).
Bruce R. Zirinsky, Esq., and Gregory M. Petrick, Esq., at
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP in New York, and Mark C.
Ellenberg, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP in
Washington, represented the Northwest Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  On May 21, 2007, the Court confirmed the
Northwest Debtors' amended plan.  That amended plan took effect
May 31, 2007.

Delta and 18 affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on
September 14, 2005 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 05-17923).
Marshall S. Huebner, Esq., at Davis Polk & Wardwell, represented
the Delta Debtors in their restructuring efforts. On April 25,
2007, the Court confirmed the Delta Debtors' plan.  That plan
became effective on April 30, 2007.

(Bankruptcy Creditors Service Inc. publishes Delta Air Lines
Bankruptcy News, http://bankrupt.com/newsstand/or 215/945-7000).

As reported by the TCR on June 29, 2009, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded the debt ratings of Delta Air Lines, Inc., and its
wholly owned subsidiary Northwest Airlines, Inc. -- (i) DAL's
Issuer Default Rating to 'B-' from 'B', First-lien senior secured
credit facilities to 'BB-/RR1' from 'BB/RR1', and Second-lien
secured credit facility to 'B-/RR4' from 'B/RR4', and (ii) NWA's
IDR to 'B-' from 'B'; and Secured bank credit facility to 'BB-
/RR1' from 'BB/RR1'.  The downgrade of DAL's ratings reflects the
continued erosion of the airline's near-term cash flow generation
potential that has resulted from extremely weak business travel
demand and large year-over-year declines in passenger revenue per
available seat mile.

EARL JONES CONSULTING: Owner Loses Dorval Condo to Creditors
------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Deschamps at CJAD reports that Earl Jones has lost his
Dorval condo to creditors, who are doing an inventory on what's
left in the property.

Anne Sutherland at The Gazette relates that Mr. Jones had been
living in the condo since being charged with theft and fraud on
July 28, 2009.

According to The Gazette, Mr. Jones' lawyer asked in a letter sent
to the trustees Tuesday that they let his client stay in the condo
until the end of the month, but the request was denied.

The Gazette states that bankruptcy trustees have been given keys
to three other properties owned either jointly by Mr. Jones and
his wife, Maxine, or by Maxine alone, while all four properties
will be handed over to real-estate agents to be put up for sale in
the coming weeks.

Earl Jones Consulting was a company ran by investment adviser Earl
Jones.  The Company in July 2009 was declared bankrupt by
the Quebec Superior Court in Montreal.  Quebec's securities
regulator alleges Mr. Jones swindled at least 50 investors out of
at least $30 million in a possible Ponzi scheme.

75% working interest in West Ranch Field in Jackson County, Texas.

                       Going Concern Doubt

On April 8, 2009, Kelly & Company in Costa Mesa, California
expressed substantial doubt about Eternal Energy Corp.'s ability
to continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's
financial statements for the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2008, and
2007.  The Company noted that the Company incurred net losses for
the years ended Dec. 31, 2008, and 2007, and must rely on the sale
of its common stock and borrowing until it is able to successfully
implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues in
the future to sustain its ongoing operations.


FAIRFAX FINANCIAL: Odyssey Re Deal Won't Affect Fitch's Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited's recently announced proposal
to acquire the remaining 27.4% of Odyssey Re Holdings Corp. it
doesn't currently own does not affect ratings on Fairfax or any of
its subsidiaries, according to Fitch Ratings.

This proposed acquisition is consistent with Fitch's view of
Fairfax as a 'true' holding company acquiring and overseeing
subsidiary insurance and reinsurance companies under a
decentralized management approach.  The cash consideration of $60
per share represents an almost 20% premium over the closing price
when Fairfax announced the proposed transaction on Sept. 4, 2009,
and will be funded with a $1 billion equity offering under its
existing shelf prospectus.  Odyssey Re has been a public company
since Fairfax sold a 26% stake in 2001 via an initial public
offering.  The proposed acquisition follows Fairfax's purchase in
early 2009 of the 36.4% of Northbridge Financial Corp.
(Northbridge) it did not already own for $546 million, which was
funded from holding company cash.

Fitch's ratings of Fairfax are based on its role as a
'functioning' parent holding company with varied subsidiary
profiles and a highly complex cash flow profile.  Fitch's ratings
of Fairfax's three core operating businesses - primary U.S.
insurance operations through Crum & Forster, Canadian insurance
operations through Northbridge and reinsurance operations through
Odyssey Re -- are rated at stand-alone levels currently, with no
enhancement or detriment from the parent company.  However, with
all three core operating businesses returning to being wholly
owned subsidiaries of the company, Fitch may consider a more group
rating approach over time.  Going forward, Fairfax should also
benefit from increased upstream dividend capacity through its 100%
owned operating subsidiaries.  This follows a period where Fairfax
needed the financial flexibility to raise cash from partial IPOs
of both Odyssey Re and Northbridge.

Fairfax's debt-to-total-capital ratio is down to about 22.5% on
June 30, 2009, compared with 23.4% on Dec. 31, 2008.  Following
the company's recent CAN$400 million debt issuance in August and
expected $1 billion equity issuance, pro forma debt-to-total-
capital on June 30, 2009 increases only slightly and remains below
Fitch's expected range of 25%-30%.  Earnings-based interest
coverage (excluding realized gains) improved to 3.6 times in the
first six months of 2009 from negative coverage in 2008.  Fairfax
also continues to maintain a sizable amount of holding company
cash, short-term investments and marketable securities of
$880 million on June 30, 2009, and expects to have in excess of
$1 billion following completion of the proposed acquisition of
Odyssey Re and expected equity issuance.

Fitch currently rates Fairfax and subsidiaries:

  -- Issuer Default Rating 'BBB-';
  -- Senior debt 'BB+';
  -- $182 million 7.75% due April 15, 2012 'BB+';

FAIRPOINT COMM: Bank Debt Trades at 24% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which FairPoint
Communications, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market
at 76.39 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.47
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on March 31, 2015.  The Company pays 275 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard & Poor's CC rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11,
among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

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

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


FERRELLGAS LP: S&P Assigns 'B+' Rating on $300 Mil. Senior Debt
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B+' issue
and '4' recovery ratings to operating company Ferrellgas L.P.'s
$300 million 9.125% senior unsecured debt offering due 2017.
S&P's research update dated Sept. 9, 2009 indicated an issue size
of $250 million, however due to favorable market conditions, the
company successfully upsized the deal to $300 million.

This increase does not affect the ratings or stable outlook.


FORD MOTOR: Bank Debt Trades at 12.2% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Ford Motor Co. is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 87.80 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009, according to data
compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall Street
Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.55 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
Dec. 15, 2013.  The Company pays 300 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's Ca
rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+ rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans
with five or more bids.

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

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

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


FORD MOTOR: Inks Tax Benefit Preservation Plan With Computershare
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company on September 11, 2009, entered into the Tax
Benefit Preservation Plan with Computershare Trust Company, N.A.,
as rights agent.

The Board of Directors adopted the Plan in an effort to protect
stockholder value by attempting to protect against a possible
limitation on our ability to use net operating losses, tax credits
and other tax assets to reduce potential future federal income tax
obligations.

Through year-end 2008, Ford had tax attributes, including net
operating losses, capital losses and tax credit carryforwards,
that would offset approximately $19 billion of taxable income.
Ford can utilize the tax attributes in certain circumstances to
offset taxable income and reduce its federal income tax liability.

"In the past, we have experienced substantial operating losses,
and under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and rules
promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, we may "carry
forward" these losses in certain circumstances to offset future
earnings and thus reduce our federal income tax liability, subject
to certain requirements and restrictions.  To the extent that the
Tax Attributes do not otherwise become limited, we believe that we
will be able to use a significant amount of the Tax Attributes,
and therefore these Tax Attributes could be a substantial asset to
us.  If, however, we experience an "ownership change," as defined
in Section 382 of the Code, our ability to use the Tax Attributes
will be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the
Tax Attributes could be substantially delayed, which could
therefore significantly impair the value of the Tax Attributes,"
Ford said in a regulatory filing.

The Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company and each
outstanding share of Class B stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
the Company under the terms of the Plan.

The dividend is payable on September 25, 2009, to the stockholders
of record as of the close of business on September 25, 2009.  Each
Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company
one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company at a
price of $35.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred
Stock, subject to adjustment.

Until the earlier to occur of (i) the close of business on the
tenth business day following the public announcement that a person
or group has become an "Acquiring Person" by acquiring beneficial
ownership of 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (or the Board becoming aware of an Acquiring Person, as
defined in the Plan) or (ii) the close of business on the tenth
business day (or, except in certain circumstances, such later date
as may be specified by the Board) following the commencement of,
or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or
exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the
beneficial ownership by a person or group (with certain
exceptions) of 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution
Date"), the Rights will be evidenced, with respect to Common Stock
and Class B Stock certificates outstanding as of the Record Date
(or any book-entry shares in respect thereof), by such Common
Stock or Class B Stock certificate (or registration in book-entry
form) together with the summary of rights describing the Plan and
mailed to stockholders of record on the Record Date, and the
Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer
of Common Stock or Class B Stock.

Any person or group that beneficially owns 4.99% or more of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock on September 11, 2009 will not
be deemed an Acquiring Person unless and until such person or
group acquires beneficial ownership of additional shares of Common
Stock representing 0.5% or more of the shares of Common Stock then
outstanding.  Under the Plan, the Board may, in its sole
discretion, exempt any person or group from being deemed an
Acquiring Person for purposes of the Plan if the Board determines
that such person's or group's ownership of Common Stock will not
jeopardize or endanger the availability of the Company, or
otherwise limit in any way the use of, the Company's net operating
losses, tax credits and other tax assets.

The Plan provides that, until the Distribution Date (or earlier
expiration or redemption of the Rights), the Rights will be
attached to and will be transferred with and only with the Common
Stock and Class B Stock.  Until the Distribution Date (or the
earlier expiration or redemption of the Rights), new shares of
Common Stock and Class B Stock issued after the Record Date upon
transfer or new issuances of Common Stock and Class B Stock will
contain a notation incorporating the Plan by reference (with
respect to shares represented by certificates) or notice thereof
will be provided in accordance with applicable law (with respect
to uncertificated shares).  Until the Distribution Date (or
earlier expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of
any certificates representing shares of Common Stock and Class B
Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, even without such
notation or a copy of the Summary of Rights, or the transfer by
book-entry of any uncertificated shares of Common Stock and Class
B Stock, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with such shares.  As soon as practicable following the
Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights
will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock and Class
B Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and
such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date.  The
Rights will expire upon the earliest of the close of business on
September 11, 2012 (unless that date is advanced or extended by
the Board), the time at which the Rights are redeemed or exchanged
under the Plan, the final adjournment of the Company's 2010 annual
meeting of stockholders if stockholder approval of the Plan has
not been received prior to that time, the repeal of Section 382 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor
statute if the Board determines that the Plan is no longer
necessary for the preservation of the Company's Tax Attributes, or
the beginning of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board
determines that no Tax Attributes may be carried forward.

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of
the Rights is subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent
dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a
subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred
Stock, (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Preferred Stock of
certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Preferred
Stock at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Stock
with a conversion price, less than the then-current market price
of the Preferred Stock or (iii) upon the distribution to holders
of the Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets
(excluding regular periodic cash dividends or dividends payable in
Preferred Stock) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than
those referred to).

The number of outstanding Rights is subject to adjustment in the
event of a stock dividend on the Common Stock and Class B Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock or Class B Stock or
subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the Common Stock
occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.

Shares of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights
will not be redeemable.  Each share of Preferred Stock will be
entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of the greater of (a) $10.00 per share,
and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the dividend declared per
share of Common Stock.  In the event of liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock
will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of the greater
of (a) $1.00 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends),
and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the payment made per share
of Common Stock.  Each share of Preferred Stock will have 1,000
votes, voting together with the Common Stock and Class B Stock.
Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other
transaction in which outstanding shares of Common Stock are
converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of
Common Stock.  These rights are protected by customary
antidilution provisions.

Because of the nature of the Preferred Stock's dividend,
liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one one-thousandth
interest in a share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise
of each Right should approximate the value of one share of Common
Stock.

In the event that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by
the Acquiring Person (which will thereupon become null and void),
will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of a Right
(including payment of the Purchase Price) that number of shares of
Common Stock having a market value of two times the Purchase
Price.

At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person
but prior to the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of
beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the voting power of the
shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock then outstanding, the
Board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such
Acquiring Person, which will have become null and void), in whole
or in part, for shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or a
series of the Company's preferred stock having equivalent rights,
preferences and privileges), at an exchange ratio of one share of
Common Stock, or a fractional share of Preferred Stock (or other
stock) equivalent in value thereto, per Right (subject to
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar
transactions).

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will
be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of
at least 1% in such Purchase Price.  No fractional shares of
Preferred Stock or Common Stock will be issued (other than
fractions of Preferred Stock which are integral multiples of one
one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, which may, at the
election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts), and
in lieu thereof an adjustment in cash will be made based on the
current market price of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock.

At any time prior to the time an Acquiring Person becomes such,
the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a
price of $0.001 per Right payable, at the option of the Company,
in cash, shares of Common Stock or such other form of
consideration as the Board shall determine.  The redemption of the
Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with
such conditions as the Board in its sole discretion may establish.
Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to
exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the
holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

For so long as the Rights are then redeemable, the Company may,
except with respect to the Redemption Price, amend the Plan in any
manner.  After the Rights are no longer redeemable, the Company
may, except with respect to the Redemption Price, amend the Plan
in any manner that does not adversely affect the interests of
holders of the Rights (other than the Acquiring Person).

On September 9, 2009, the Company approved an amendment to its
Restated Certificate of Incorporation by authorizing the filing of
a Certificate of Designation for the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware.

FRONTIER AIRLINES: To Emerge as Republic Unit on October 1
----------------------------------------------------------
Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc., and its affiliates stepped
Judge Robert D. Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York, through the statutory
requirements under Sections 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy
Code necessary to confirm their Chapter 11 Joint Plan of
Reorganization:

A. Section 1129(a)(1) requires that the Second Amended Plan
  comply with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
  which includes compliance with Sections 1122 and 1123,
  governing classification and contents of the Plan.

  In addition to Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims
  that need not be classified, the Plan classifies six classes
  of Claims and Interests, with the Claims and Interests in
  each Class substantially similar to other Claims or Interests,
  in each Class.  The Plan satisfies Sections 1122 and
  1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code because (x) valid business,
  factual and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the
  Classes of Claims and Interests created under the Plan, (y)
  the Classifications were not done for any improper purpose,
  and (z) the Classes do not unfairly discriminate between or
  among holders of Claims or Interests.

  The Plan specifies that Class 1 Other Priority Claims, Class 2
  Secured Claims and Class 4b Interests in Frontier and Lynx are
  Unimpaired by the Plan, thereby satisfying Section 1123(a)(2).

  The Plan satisfies Section 1123(a)(3) because it designates
  Class 3 General Unsecured Claims, Class 4a Interests in
  Frontier Holdings and Class 4c Securities Litigation Claims as
  Impaired, and specifies the treatment of each of the Classes
  of Claims and Interests under the Plan.

  The Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for
  each Claim or Interest in each Class, unless the holder of
  a Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment,
  thereby satisfying Section 1123(a)(4).

  The Plan complies with Section 1123(a)(5) because the various
  documents and agreements set forth in the Plan and the Plan
  Supplements provide adequate and proper means for the Plan's
  implementation, including, without limitation, the Plan
  Consolidation.

  The certificate of incorporation of Reorganized Frontier
  Holdings and the certificates of incorporation of the
  Reorganized Subsidiary Debtors, filed as Plan Supplements on
  August 18, 2009, each prohibit the issuance of non-voting
  equity securities.  Thus, the requirements of Section
  1123(a)(6) are satisfied.

  The Plan contains provisions with respect to the manner of
  appointment of the directors and officers of the Reorganized
  Debtors that are consistent with the interests of creditors,
  equity security holders and public policy in accordance with
  Section 1123(a)(7).

  The Plan's provisions are appropriate and consistent with the
  applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby
  satisfying Section 1123(b)(6).

B. The Debtors, as the proponents of the Plan, have complied with
  the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying
  Section 1129(a)(2).  Specifically, the Debtors are "proper
  debtors" under Section 109(d), and they have complied with the
  Bankruptcy Rules and the Approval Order in transmitting the
  Disclosure Statement, the Plan and related documents and
  notices in soliciting and tabulating votes on the Plan.

  Based on the record before the Court in the Chapter 11 cases,
  the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
  have acted in "good faith" within the meaning of Section
  1125(e) in connection with all of their activities relating to
  the solicitation of acceptances to the Plan and their
  participation in the activities described in Section 1125.

  The parties listed in the Plan are entitled to the protections
  afforded by Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the
  exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan.

C. The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by
  any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying Section
  1129(a)(3).  The Plan was proposed with the legitimate and
  honest purpose of maximizing the value of the Debtors' estates
  and effectuating a successful reorganization of the Debtors.

D. Any payment made or to be made by any of the Debtors for
  services or for costs and expenses in or in connection with
  the Chapter 11 cases, or in connection with the Plan and
  incident to the Chapter 11 cases, has been approved by, or is
  subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable, thereby
  satisfying Section 1129(a)(4).

E. The Debtors have complied with Section 1129(a)(5) of the
  Bankruptcy Code.  The identity and affiliations of the persons
  proposed to serve as members of the New Board and as members
  of the Boards of Directors of the Subsidiary Debtors were
  disclosed in Plan Supplements, and the appointment to, or
  continuance in, those positions is consistent with the
  interests of holders of Claims against, and Interests in, the
  Debtors and with public policy.

  The Debtors have further disclosed that the principal officers
  of each Debtor immediately prior to the Effective Date will be
  the officers of each Reorganized Debtor as of the Effective
  Date.

  The nature of the compensation payable to the members of the
  New Board, as well as the current compensation of the chief
  executive officer, chief financial officer and the three other
  most highly-compensated officers of Frontier Holdings was
  disclosed in the Plan Supplement.

F. The Plan does not contain any rate changes subject to the
  jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission and
  does not require approval by any governmental regulator.
  Therefore, the Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(6).

G. The Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(7).  The Liquidation
  Analysis to the Disclosure Statement (i) is persuasive and
  credible, (ii) has not been controverted by other evidence,
  (iii) is based on sound methodology, and (iv) establishes that
  each holder of an Impaired Claim or Interest either has
  accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan, on
  account of the Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of
  the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that the
  holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated
  under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

H. Classes 1, 2 and 4b are each Classes of Unimpaired Claims or
  Interests that are conclusively presumed to have accepted the
  Plan under Section 1126(f).  The Voting Class has voted to
  accept the Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c).  No
  Classes voted against the Plan; however Classes 4a and 4c are
  not entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan
  and, therefore, are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant
  to Section 1126(g).

  Although Section 1129(a)(8) has not been satisfied with
  respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes, the Plan is
  confirmable because it does not discriminate unfairly and is
  fair and equitable with respect to the Deemed Rejecting
  Classes.

I. The treatment of Administrative Claims and Other Priority
  Claims pursuant to the Plan satisfies the requirements of
  Sections 1129(a)(9)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the
  treatment of Priority Tax Claims satisfies the requirements of
  Section 1129(a)(9)(C).

J. The Voting Class is an Impaired Class and has voted to accept
  the Plan, without including any acceptance of the Plan by any
  insider.  Hence, without including any acceptance of the Plan
  by any Insider, there is at least one Class of Claims against
  the Debtors that is Impaired under the Plan and has accepted
  the Plan.  Thus, the Plan satisfies the requirements of
  Section 1129(a)(10).

K. The evidence submitted regarding feasibility of the Plan (x)
  is persuasive and credible, (y) has not been controverted by
  other evidence, and (z) establishes that confirmation of the
  Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the
  need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized
  Debtors, in compliance with Section 1129(a)(11).

L. The Plan provides that all fees payable pursuant to Section
  1930(a) of Judiciary and Judicial Procedures Code have been
  paid or will be paid for each quarter until the Chapter
  11 cases are converted, dismissed or closed, whichever occurs
  first, thus satisfying the requirements of Section
  1129(a)(12).

M. Section 1129(a)(13) requires a plan to provide for retiree
  benefits at levels established pursuant to Section 1114 of the
  Bankruptcy Code.  On and after the Effective Date, pursuant to
  Section 1129(a)(13), the Reorganized Debtors will continue to
  pay any retiree health and welfare benefits of the Debtors
  covered by Section 1114 at any time prior to confirmation of
  the Plan, and for the duration of the period for which the
  Debtors have obligated themselves to provide those benefits.

  The Reorganized Debtors may unilaterally modify or terminate
  any retiree benefits, including health and welfare benefits,
  provided, however, that the Confirmation Order will not be
  construed to enlarge the Reorganized Debtors' rights to modify
  the Retiree Benefits.

N. Each of the Debtors is a corporation and is not required to
  pay domestic support obligations.  Accordingly, Section
  1129(a)(14) is not implicated by the Plan.

O. Each of the Debtors is a corporation and does not need to
  pay five years' worth of disposable income to unsecured
  creditors.  Accordingly, Section 1129(a)(15) is not implicated
  by the Plan.

P. The Plan does not provide for transfers of property by
  nonprofit entities, and each of the Debtors is a moneyed,
  business, or commercial corporation.  Accordingly, Section
  1129(a)(16) is not implicated by the Plan.

Finding that Frontier's Plan complies with the statutory
requirements, Judge Drain confirmed the Plan on September 10,
2009.

"This is an extremely proud day for everyone in our Company,"
Frontier President and CEO Sean Menke said in an official
statement.  "Many people doubted that we would even survive, let
alone accomplish a successful reorganization, provide a recovery
for our creditors and emerge a stronger competitor and company.
Upon consummation of our Plan of Reorganization with Republic, we
will be a successfully restructured airline, well positioned to
be a competitive, successful, sustainable airline for years to
come," he said.

"I must give a special thanks to all of our Frontier and Lynx
employees.  Their hard work, sacrifice and resiliency during the
bankruptcy [were] key to our successful reorganization.  They are
the primary reason why Frontier Airlines and Lynx Aviation are
where we are today," Mr. Menke continued.

The Company successfully resolved the few objections to its Plan
prior to Sept. 10, resulting in an uncontested confirmation
hearing.  All objections that have not been withdrawn, waived or
settled, and all reservations of rights pertaining to
confirmation of the Plan, are overruled on the merits, Judge
Drain ruled at the hearing.

According to the company statement, Frontier, along with its
legal advisors Davis Polk and Wardwell LLP and financial advisors
Seabury Group, LLC, has worked throughout its stay in bankruptcy
to achieve consensual resolutions with affected parties, which
has become a hallmark of Frontier's entire Chapter 11 case.

With the Court's confirmation of the Plan, Frontier will proceed
to emerge from bankruptcy on Oct. 1, 2009, as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc., the Company
stated.

                   Consolidation Approved

The Court held that consolidation of the Debtors' estates for the
purposes set forth in the Plan is (x) in the best interest of all
holders of Claims and Interests, (y) necessary for the
implementation of the Plan and (z) appropriate in their Chapter
11 cases.  Accordingly, the Court approved the Plan
Consolidation.

Judge Drain clarified that the Plan Consolidation will not
affect:

  -- the legal or organizational structure of the Debtors;

  -- pre- or postpetition liens or security interests;

  -- pre- or postpetition guarantees that are required to be
     maintained in connection with executory contracts or
     unexpired leases that were entered into during the Chapter
     11 cases or that have been or will be assumed or pursuant
     to the Plan;

  -- defenses to any cause of action; or

  -- distribution out of any insurance policies or proceeds of
     those policies.

On the Effective Date of the Plan all notes, instruments,
certificates and other documents evidencing (a) the Old Notes and
(b) the Old Stock will be cancelled, and the obligations of the
Debtors in relation to the Notes and Stock will be fully
satisfied, released and discharged.  The Court authorized
Reorganized Frontier Holdings to issue 1,000 shares of New Common
Stock -- representing 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of
Reorganized Frontier Holdings -- for distribution to Republic
Airways Holdings Inc., as the Plan Sponsor.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement and the Plan, Reorganized
Frontier Holdings is authorized to issue, sell and deliver to the
Plan Sponsor at the closing under the Investment Agreement the
New Common Stock free and clear of all Liens, for the Share
Purchase Price or $108,750,000 including the Class 3 Allocation.
The Share Purchase Price will be deemed to include the
relinquishment by the Plan Sponsor of all rights under the Plan
to any distribution on account of the Plan Sponsor Allowed
General Unsecured Claims.  The Republic Distribution will be
payable to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, other
than the Plan Sponsor on a pro rata basis.

In addition, the Court approved the procedures for determining
the amount of the Disputed Claims Reserve which the Debtors have
developed.

Judge Drain clarified that the Confirmation Order will not:

  * affect the enforceability of any security interests or liens
    granted pursuant to (i) the postpetition aircraft option
    agreements between the Debtors and Bombardier Inc., or (ii)
    the secured aircraft financing arrangement entered into by
    the Debtors; or

  * impair in any respect the legal, equitable or contractual
    rights and defenses of the insureds and insurers with
    respect to any insurance policies issued to the Debtors by
    ACE American Insurance Company and its affiliated insurers.

Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, the Creditors' Committee and
all other statutory committees in the Chapter 11 cases will
dissolve automatically.  The Post-Effective Date Committee will
be created, which will be subject to the jurisdiction of the
Court, as its rights and powers will be strictly limited as set
forth in the Plan.

Unless the Post-Effective Date Committee votes to disband
earlier, the existence of the Post-Effective Date Committee and
all its associated powers will terminate on the earlier of the
dates on which the Reorganized Debtors (y) reasonably estimate
that there are no remaining Disputed General Unsecured Claims
that will ultimately be Allowed in an amount exceeding $500,000,
and (z) will have paid or reimbursed the Post-Effective Date
Committee an aggregate amount equal to the Post-Effective Date
Committee Expense Cap.

Plan.

GLOBAL CROSSING: Impsat Noteholders Agree to Relax Covenants
------------------------------------------------------------
GC Impsat Holdings I Plc said it had received, as of 5:00 p.m. New
York City time, on September 10, 2009, tenders and consents from
holders of approximately $215.8 million in aggregate principal
amount of its 9.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (CUSIP Nos. U0390YAA8
and 362241AA9), representing 95.9% of the total outstanding
principal amount of the Notes, in connection with the previously
announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation for the
Notes.  The consents received exceed the number needed to approve
the proposed amendment to the indenture under which the Notes were
issued.  Because the Consent Deadline has passed, Notes tendered
and consents given may not be validly withdrawn or revoked whether
tendered or given prior to or after the Consent Deadline.

As a result of the receipt of the requisite consents, GC Impsat
and the trustee under the indenture expect to enter into a
supplemental indenture effecting the proposed amendments,
substantially as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent
Solicitation Statement dated August 24, 2009.  The proposed
amendments, which will eliminate most of the restrictive covenants
and certain events of default, will become operative when GC
Impsat accepts for purchase the Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the Statement. If the tender
offer is terminated or withdrawn, or Notes that were validly
tendered and not withdrawn are not accepted for purchase for any
reason, the proposed amendments to the indenture will not become
operative and the covenants, events of default and other
provisions in the indenture will remain in their present form.

The tender offer remains open for the tender of Notes not
previously tendered and is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight,
New York City time, on September 21, 2009, unless extended.
Holders tendering Notes after the Consent Deadline are not
eligible for the consent payment.

Consummation of the tender offer, including the payment of the
total consideration or tender offer consideration, as applicable,
is subject to the conditions set forth in the Statement including,
among other things, the consummation by affiliates of GC Impsat of
debt financing on terms and conditions satisfactory to such
affiliates of GC Impsat, of which an amount sufficient to pay the
amounts payable pursuant to the tender offer and consent
solicitation will be contributed, advanced or loaned to GC Impsat
in accordance with the terms described in detail in the Statement.

GC Impsat has retained Goldman, Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse
Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. to serve as
dealer managers for the tender offer and solicitation agents for
the consent solicitation. GC Impsat has retained Global Bondholder
Services Corporation to serve as the depositary and information
agent for the tender offer and consent solicitation.

Requests for documents, including the Statement, may be directed
to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by telephone at (866)
544-1500 or (212) 430-3774 or in writing at 65 Broadway - Suite

consent solicitation may be directed to Goldman, Sachs & Co. at

GOLD & HONEY: Israeli Receivership Not Taken as Foreign Proceeding
------------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that where the appointment of receivers in an
Israeli receivership proceeding clearly violated the automatic
stay and the bankruptcy court's orders regarding the stay,
recognition of the Israeli receivership proceeding as a "foreign
proceeding" would have been manifestly contrary to the public
policy of the United States, as warranted denial of recognition
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1506.  Allowing the offensive use of
the stay violation would have severely impinged the stay's value
and import, the New York bankruptcy court reasoned.  Moreover,
recognizing the foreign seizure of a debtor's assets postpetition
would have severely hindered United States bankruptcy courts'
abilities to carry out two of the stay's most fundamental policies
and purposes, namely, preventing one creditor from obtaining an
advantage over other creditors and providing for the efficient and
orderly distribution of a debtor's assets to all creditors in
accordance with their relative priorities.  Finally, condoning the
lender's conduct would have limited a federal court's jurisdiction
over all of a debtor's property "wherever located and by whomever
held."  In re Gold & Honey, Ltd., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 2596511
(Bankr. E.D.N.Y.).

Represented by Paul H. Deutch, Esq., at Troutman Sanders LLP in

GOLDEN NUGGET: Landry's Strategic Move Won't Affect Moody's Rating

Committee to review strategic alternatives for the company,
including a possible sale of Landry's.

Moody's last rating action for Golden Nugget occurred on July 24,
2009 when Moody's downgraded the company's Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings to Ca and assigned a stable
outlook.

GREYSTONE ON PAYETTE: Disqualified Counsel Fee Application Denied
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that counsel was disqualified from employment
under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 327(a), the section of the Bankruptcy Code
governing the employment of professional persons, and so an Idaho
bankruptcy court could neither retroactively approve his
employment nor approve his application for compensation.  It did
not matter that, in representing both the debtor in the case at
bar and another debtor entity, counsel allegedly had no knowledge
that, prior to bankruptcy, the debtor had loaned this other entity
a substantial sum of money, such that the entity had an interest
adverse to the estate and counsel also had a conflict of interest.
"Although this may appear to be a harsh result, strict enforcement
of the ethical rules to which estate professionals are subject
under the Code is required in order to protect the integrity of
the bankruptcy system," the court explained.  In re Greystone on
Payette, LLC, --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 662627, 51 Bankr. Ct. Dec.
143 (Bankr. D. Idaho).

Based in Manhattan Beach, Calif., Greystone on Payette, LLC, and a
debtor-affiliate, Greystone Village, LLC, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on June 5, 2008 (D. Idaho Case No. 08-01062)
to stave off foreclosure sales scheduled to occur the following
day.  When the Debtors filed for bankruptcy protection, they
estimated their assets at $10 million and $50 million and their
debts at $1 million and $10 million.  The Debtors were unable to
propose a confirmable plan, and on October 16, 2008, the Court
converted the cases to Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings.  Richard
Crawforth serves as the Chapter 7 trustee.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 10, 2008, the
Debtors asked the Bankruptcy Court for permission to employ Howard
R. Foley, Esq., Patrick J. Geile, Esq., and Timothy S. Callender,
Esq., at Foley Freeman, PLLC, as its bankruptcy counsel, and
Messrs. Foley, Geile, and Callender attested to their
disinterestedness.

At a continued Sec. 341(a) meeting of creditors held on July 23,
2008, Mr. Foley says that he learned for the first time that,
prior to the petitions being filed, Greystone on Payette, LLC, had
extended a $1,000,000 loan to Greystone Village, LLC, to cover
construction costs at Greystone Village, and that this loan
remained unpaid.  In response to that disclosure, the United
States Trustee objected to the Debtors' application to employ
counsel.  The Chapter 7 trustee objected to Mr. Foley's Fee
Application, and the Honorable Jim D. Pappas denied compensation
to Mr. Foley.


GUARANTY FINANCIAL: Court Extends Schedules Filing Until Sept. 29
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
extended until Sept. 29, 2009, Guaranty Financial Group Inc. and
its debtor-affiliates' time to file their schedules of assets and
liabilities, schedules of executory contracts and unexpired
leases, and statements of financial affairs.

Guaranty Financial Group Inc. -- http://www.guarantygroup.com/--
is based in Dallas, Texas.  Guaranty Financial is a unitary
savings and loan holding company. The Company's primary operating
entities are Guaranty Bank and Guaranty Insurance Services, Inc.
Guaranty Financial filed for bankruptcy after the Guaranty bank
was seized by regulators and sent to receivership under the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Before the bank was taken
over, the balance sheet of the holding company had $15.4 billion
in assets as of Sept. 30, 2008.

Guaranty Financial together with affiliates filed for Chapter 11
on Aug. 27, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 09-35582).  Attorneys
at Haynes & Boone, LLP, represent the Debtors.  According to the
schedules attached to its petition, the Company has assets of at
least $24,295,000, and total debts of $323,413,428, including
$305 million in trust preferred security.


GUARANTY FINANCIAL: Section 341(a) Meeting Slated for September 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 6 will convene a meeting of creditors
in Guaranty Financial Group Inc.'s Chapter 11 case on Sept. 30,
2009, at 10:30 a.m.  The meeting will be held at the Office of the
U.S. Trustee, 1100 Commerce St., Room 976, Dallas, Texas.


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

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

HARLAN LABORATORIES: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of Harlan
Laboratories, Inc. including the B2 Corporate Family Rating and
the B2 Probability of Default Rating.  The outlook remains stable.

Moody's has changed the outlooks of several rated Contract
Research Organizations over the past six months to negative due to
the weak near-term industry outlook.  While Moody's believes that
Harlan will be affected by these same trends, Harlan's outlook
remains stable at this time because of its lower exposure to
biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers (and greater percentage
of revenues from academic, chemical and government clients) than
other rated CRO peers.  As a result, Moody's believe Harlan may
experience less disruption from pharmaceutical consolidation and
be better positioned to benefit from increased academic research
funding due to government stimulus spending in 2010.  The stable
outlook is predicated on the belief that Harlan's opportunities in
these areas, as well as benefits from on-going restructuring and
turn-around efforts, will offset the weakness in pharmaceutical
and biotechnology spending on CRO services that Moody's expect
over the next twelve months.

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Harlan's limited scale,
considerable financial leverage and limited free cash flow
generation.  The ratings are also constrained by Harlan's
relatively weak competitive position in its clinical services
business and Moody's expectation that over time Harlan will likely
make acquisitions in order to augment this business.  On the other
hand, the ratings are supported by Harlan's strong competitive
position in the research models business, and its very favorable
customer concentration profile.  Further, the stability of the
ratings incorporates the expectation for good liquidity over the
next twelve months.

Ratings Affirmed:

Harlan Laboratories:

* Corporate Family Rating, B2

* Probability of Default Rating, B2

* $15 Million First Lien U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, due 2013,
  rated B2, LGD-3, 45%

* $330 Million First Lien Term Loan, due 2014, rated B2, LGD-3,
  45%

Harlan Netherlands B.V.:

* $15 Million First Lien EURO Revolving Credit Facility, due 2013,
  rated B2, LGD-3, 45%

The outlook is stable.

Moody's last rating action was July 2, 2007, when Moody's assigned
B2 ratings to the company's new credit facility.

Harlan, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is a global CRO
that provides outsourced preclinical tools and services to the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical and food industries.
Harlan focuses on animal research models and early stage testing
of chemical and drug compounds, with particular strength in the
European market.  Moody's estimates that for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2009, Harlan generated net sales approximating
$404 million.


HAWKER BEECHCRAFT: Bank Debt Trades at 27% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Hawker Beechcraft,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 73.13 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an drop of 0.92 percentage points
from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures on
March 26, 2014.  The Company pays 200 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's B3
rating and S&P's B- rating.  The debt is one of the biggest
gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans
with five or more bids.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 11, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has raised its long-
term corporate credit rating on Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., to 'CCC+'
from 'SD' (selective default).  The outlook is negative. About
$2.3 billion of debt is outstanding.  S&P also raised its issue-
level ratings on wholly owned subsidiary Hawker Beechcraft
Acquisition Co. LLC's senior unsecured and subordinated debt to
'CCC-' from 'D', two notches below the corporate credit rating on
Hawker Beechcraft.  The recovery rating on the senior unsecured
and subordinated debt remains at '6', indicating S&P's
expectations that lenders would achieve negligible (0 to 10%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on HBAC's
senior secured debt to 'B-' from 'B'.  The downgrade positions the
senior secured debt one notch above the corporate credit rating on
Hawker Beechcraft, the same differential as before the company
announced its tender offer to buy a portion of its unsecured notes
at values substantially below par.  The recovery rating on this
debt remains at '2', indicating S&P's expectations of substantial
(70% to 90%) recovery of principal in the event of a payment
default.

The corporate credit rating reflects S&P's view of the company's
post-tender-offer risk of payment default and potential for
further distressed redemptions.  Although Hawker Beechcraft will
benefit from lower long-term debt and interest expense, credit
protection measures will remain very weak.  Furthermore, the
company's liquidity cushion is now smaller following the full draw
of its $365 million revolving credit facility to fund operations
and the tender offer.

The TCR related on April 6, 2009, that Moody's Investors Service
lowered Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company's Corporate Family
Rating to Caa2 from B3 and the Probability of Default to Caa2/LD
from B3.  The actions follow disclosure that the company acquired
in open market transactions at significant discounts to par some
$222 million of its debt obligations.  Moody's considers the event
to be a distressed exchange.  At the same time, the company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating was changed to SGL-3,
representing adequate liquidity.  The outlook was revised to
stable from negative.

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

to 1.00 for the period measured June 30, 2009, through June 30,

----------------------------------------------------------------
The official committee of unsecured creditors formed in Idearc
Inc.'s Chapter 11 case is opposing the reorganization plan of
Idearc and recommending that creditors vote "no."  The Committee,
according to Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg, says the plan undervalues
the Company, leaves it with too much debt, and doesn't recognize
the invalidity of some of the secured creditors' liens.

As reported by the TCR on September 11, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, has
approved the disclosure statement filed in connection with
Idearc's proposed First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization and
has authorized Idearc to begin the process for soliciting approval
from eligible creditors for the Plan.  With these developments,
Idearc is positioned to emerge from Chapter 11 protection before
year end.  A confirmation hearing for the Court to consider
approval of the Plan has been scheduled for December 9, 2009.

Idearc expects to emerge from its reorganization process with an
appropriate capital structure to support its future strategic
business plans and objectives.  Under the proposed Plan, the
Company's total debt will be reduced from approximately $9 billion
to approximately $2.75 billion of secured bank debt, with the
remainder of the Company's current bank debt and bonds converted
to new equity.  Upon emergence from Chapter 11, the Company will
have a cash balance of approximately $150 million.

Upon confirmation of the Plan, current holders of Idearc's common
stock will not receive any distributions following emergence and
their equity interests will be cancelled and have no value once
the Plan becomes effective.

Gerber, Esq., at Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, represents the Debtors
in their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors have tapped Moelis &
Company as their investment banker; Kurtzman Carson Consultants
LLC as their claims agent.  William T. Neary, the United States

Hadley & McCloy LLP, as counsel, and Haynes and Boone, LLP, co-
counsel.  The Debtors' financial condition as of Dec. 31, 2008,

IESI CORP: S&P Raises Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its long-term
corporate credit rating on IESI Corp. to 'BB+' from 'BB'.  The
outlook is stable.

S&P also raised the issue-level rating on IESI's first-lien
secured bank facilities to 'BBB-' from 'BB+'.  The recovery rating
of '2' is unchanged, indicating the expectation of substantial
(70%-90%) recovery in the event of payment default.  In addition,
S&P raised the issue-level rating on IESI's US$45 million senior
unsecured industrial revenue bond series 2005 to 'BB-' from 'B+'.
The '6' recovery rating on the debt is unchanged, indicating the
expectation of negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of
default.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'BB+' long-term corporate
credit rating, and stable outlook, to IESI-BFC Ltd. (formerly BFI
Canada Income Fund).

"The upgrade reflects what S&P view as IESI-BFC's effort to reduce
debt and improve financial flexibility, the recession-resilient
characteristics of the solid waste management services business,
and reduced landfill permit renewal risks," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Greg Pau.  "We base the upgrade on IESI on the
consolidated credit profile of its parent, IESI-BFC, which
exercises management control and decision-making on IESI's
business and financial strategy, and acts as guarantor to IESI's
secured credit facilities," Mr. Pau added.

The ratings on IESI-BFC are based on what S&P views as the
company's fair business risk profile and intermediate financial
risk profile.  They also reflect the company's efficient
operation, relatively low exposure to the cyclical construction
and demolition and commodities recycling segments, and
satisfactory business position in its key regional markets in the
U.S. and Canada.  S&P believe these strengths are partially offset
by the company's limited business diversity, low internalization
rate relative to that of its peers, and high reliance on
acquisitions for growth.

Through its primary operating subsidiaries, IESI and BFI Canada
Inc., IESI-BFC is a midsize participant in the highly fragmented
waste management business, ranking fourth largest in North America
by revenue.

The stable outlook on the two companies reflects Standard & Poor's
expectation that the recently improved consolidated financial risk
profile, which is consistent with the leverage policy, would be
maintained in the near future.  S&P could lower the ratings or
revise the outlook to negative if financial measures materially
deteriorate from S&P's current expectations, with adjusted debt to
EBITDA above 3x or adjusted funds from operations (FFO) to debt
below 25% on a sustained basis, or if it materially increases its
exposure to the weak C&D and industrial segments.  Conversely, S&P
could raise the rating or revise the outlook to positive if the
company's financial risk profile further improves with adjusted
debt to EBITDA falling below 2.2x or adjusted FFO to debt to above
35% on a sustained basis.  S&P consider this less likely in the
near future unless the company adopts a more conservative
financial policy.

IVIVI TECHNOLOGIES: Forbearance Ends Today; May File Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ivivi Technologies, Inc. previously entered into a Forbearance
Agreement dated August 31, 2009 with Emigrant Capital Corp.
Pursuant to the terms of the original Forbearance Agreement, the
Lender agreed to forbear, through September 9, 2009, from
requiring the Company to repay the principal and interest due
under the Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of
$2.5 million.  The maturity date under the Note was August 30,
2009.  The Forbearance Agreement also provided for an increase in
the interest rate under the Note to the lesser of (i) 18% or (ii)
the maximum rate permitted by law during the forbearance period.
The Lender agreed to the forbearance in order to provide the
Company with the ability to continue (i) negotiating the
previously announced potential transaction with Ajax Capital, LLC,
an entity owned by Steven Gluckstern, the Company's Chairman,
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
and (ii) solicit other proposals.

Effective September 9, 2009, the Company and the Lender amended
the terms of the Forbearance Agreement to extend the forbearance
period through September 14, 2009.  Other than the change in the
forbearance period, there were no other amendments or changes to
the Forbearance Agreement.

In a Sept. 11 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Ivivi said, "Although the Company expects to continue discussing
further extensions of the repayment of the loan with the Lender as
needed to complete a transaction, the Company may not be able to
successfully enter into such extensions as needed.  In the event
the Company does not successfully negotiate with the Lender, the
Company will not be able to meet its obligations under the Note
and the Lender will have the right to foreclose under the Note,
which is secured by all of the Company's assets.  In such an
event, the Company would have to cease its operations or seek
alternatives, including filing for bankruptcy protection.  In
addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to complete a transaction with Ajax or any other potential
acquirer or investor.

LANDRY'S RESTAURANT: Moody's Reviews 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Landry's
Restaurant, Inc., on review for possible downgrade following the
company's September 9, 2009 announcement, that on August 14, 2009,
Landry's Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee to
review strategic alternatives for the company, including a
possible sale of the company.  Landry's SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating remains unchanged.

Ratings placed on review for possible downgrade:

* Corporate Family Rating at B2

* Probability of Default Rating at B2

* $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility, due 2011
  rated Ba2

* $165 million senior secured term loan, due 2011 rated Ba2

* $295 million senior secured notes, due 2011 rated B3

"In Moody's view, this announcement -- along with management's
history of aggressive financial policies -- suggests that there's
a high probability that Landry's could enter into a transaction
that could weaken the existing credit profile of the company,"
stated Bill Fahy, Moody's Senior Analyst.

Moody's review will focus on the impact that a potential
transaction -- if ultimately consumed--could have on debt
protection metrics, liquidity, and the overall risk profile of
Landry's.  In addition, the review will consider the company's
operating trends and credit metrics which remain exposed to
further deterioration in consumer spending and increased
competition.

Landry's SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating indicates
adequate liquidity.  Despite increased competitive pressures and
weakening economic conditions, Moody's expect that lower commodity
costs and the company's expense management efforts will make it
possible for it to generate positive free cash flow from
operations over the next 12-month period.  Landry's SGL-3 also
anticipates that the company will remain in compliance with its
financial covenants despite the expectation that operating
performance will continue to be pressured by weak consumer demand.

Moody's last rating action for Landry's occurred on July 24, 2009
when Moody's affirmed the company's B2 Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings and changed the outlook to negative
from stable.

Landry's Restaurants, Inc., owns and operates mostly casual dining
restaurants under the trade names Landry's Seafood House, Chart
House, The Crab House, Saltgrass Steak House, and Rainforest Cafe.
Landry's also owns and operates the Golden Nugget hotel and casino
in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Annual revenue is approximately
$900 million.


LAS VEGAS SANDS: Bank Debt Trades at 22% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Las Vegas Sands
Corp. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 78.19 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.69 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan
matures on May 1, 2014.  The Company pays 175 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's
B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans
with five or more bids.

Meanwhile, participations in a syndicated loan under which
Venetian Macau US Finance Co. LLC is a borrower traded in the
secondary market at 92.96 cents-on-the-dollar during the week
ended Sept. 11, 2009, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing
Corp. and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 1.11 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The loan matures on May 25, 2013.  The Company
pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank debt carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B-
rating.  The debt is also one of the biggest gainers and losers
among widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the
week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

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

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

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

executives and its finances.

According to the Tribune-Review, Mr. Kirschner claimed that the
defendants failed to detect a fraud by former Le-Nature's CEO
Gregory Podlucky and other company officers despite warnings by
the Company's former chief financial officer, John Higbee, leading
to the Company's Le-Nature's bankruptcy in 2006 and a federal
criminal investigation into allegations of money laundering and
bank, wire, and mail fraud.  Mr. Kirschner said in court documents
that K&L Gates issued a report concluding that they found "no
evidence of fraud or malfeasance, despite a number of red flags."

LEAR CORP: Liquidation Analysis Under Lear's Plan
-------------------------------------------------
Lear Corporation and its debtor affiliates, with the assistance
of its restructuring and financial advisors, Alvarez & Marsal
North America, LLC, has prepared a hypothetical liquidation
analysis in connection with their Joint Plan of Reorganization
and accompanying Disclosure Statement dated August 14, 2009.

The Liquidation Analysis indicates the values which may be
obtained by classes of Claims upon disposition of assets,
pursuant to a Chapter 7 liquidation, as an alternative to
continued operation of the business under the Plan.  Accordingly,
asset values discussed in the Liquidation Analysis may be
different than amounts referred to in the Plan.

As previously reported, the Debtors -- as part of the Debtors'
proposed Plan of Reorganization -- are divided into an A and B
Group.  The Group A Debtors  refer to the Debtor entities that
are guarantors or obligors under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of April 25, 2006, plus the Debtor entities
that are guarantors or obligors under the Indenture dated as of
November 24, 2006, and Indenture dated as of August 3, 2004.  The
remaining Debtors are classified as the Group B Debtors.

The Liquidation Analysis envisions the orderly transfer and
liquidation of substantially all of the Debtors' U.S. operations
over a 6-month period and the sale of the remaining operations as
going concerns, followed by a wind-down of the Chapter 7 estate.

The Liquidation Analysis assumes full recovery for the DIP
facility, an estimated range of recoveries for the senior secured
lenders between 33.5% and 35.8% (including recovery on deficiency
claim), and between 9.7% and 13.5% for all general unsecured
creditors.

Total net proceeds available for distribution are between $1.66
and $1.84 billion.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Fee Committee Shave 2% From $119MM in Fees
-----------------------------------------------------------
Linda Sandler and Christopher Scinta at Bloomberg reported that
the fee committee named in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s chapter
11 cases told banks and lawyers advising the bankrupt firm to
shave 2 percent off the amounts billed for work from Feb. 1
through May 31.  According to the report, firms including Alvarez
& Marsal LLC, which provided the investment bank with its current
chief executive officer, and Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP of New
York, the lead bankruptcy-law firm, billed Lehman for almost $119
million in the period to cover their fees and expenses.  They
should cut their demands by $2.5 million, the fee committee said
in its filing with the Bankruptcy Court.

As reported by the TCR on August 24, 2009, Lehman Brothers
Holdings paid its advisers and lawyers $308 million for 10 months
of work, according to its operating report filed with the
Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: PwC Says Euro Unit Clients Have to Wait 2 Years
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Lomas, partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers and administrator
for Lehman Brothers' European operations, told The Financial Times
that it could now take two more years before clients and creditors
get back billions of dollars of assets tied up in the bank when it
collapsed a year ago.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 24, 2009, the U.K. High Court
handed down a judgement denying PwC's request for approval of a
scheme of arrangement that would have helped expedite the winding
up of Lehman Brothers' European units.  PwC proposed to divide
more than 1,000 clients into three classes and deal with the
claims by class rather than individually.  PwC had previously said
it could take up to a decade to return assets via bilateral
agreements, instead of the proposed scheme.  PwC is appealing the
ruling.

"I had hoped to break the back of this within 24 months, but with
the setback around the scheme and other issues, a more realistic
estimate is now 24-36 months," Mr. Lomas told the Financial Times.

According to FT, Mr. Lomas, nonetheless, said he was happy with
general progress on the case.  The administrators have returned
US$13 billion to a few dozen clients, including leading hedge
funds and corporate clients such as Chinalco, the steel giant,
whose 12 per cent stake in Rio Tinto was trapped inside Lehman
when the bank collapsed.

PwC, FT reports, has also realised US$9 billion in cash for
creditors and taken control of another US$10 billion of assets.
It is now preparing to lodge claims against other parts of the
Lehman empire, including one of tens of billions against the US
parent company.

PwC has earned fees of GBP120 million on the case, and total fees
paid to advisers of the European arm are running at roughly the
same level as in the United States where fees have topped US$300
million (GBP180 million).

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Vale Joins Line of Workers Filing Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
According to Christopher Scinta at Bloomberg News, Judith Vale,
the Neuberger Berman LLC money manager who said top executives of
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. should cut their bonuses, joined
several other employees in filing claims against bankrupt Lehman
for unpaid stock awards, overtime and other compensation.  The
report relates that Ms. Vale, who runs the Neuberger Berman
Genesis Fund, filed a $12.3 million claim for stock awards and
other compensation.

Joseph Gregory, former president and chief operating officer of
LBHI filed a claim for $233 million for unpaid equity awards,
including stock options and stock units he was entitled to.

The Bankruptcy Court has set a Sept. 22 deadline for all claims
against LBHI and its affiliated debtors.

Meanwhile, according to The Wall Street Journal, Richard Fuld Jr.,
the former chief of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., told employees
of a new firm staffed by former employees of Lehman Brothers that
he is sorry for his role in the collapse of Lehman in
September 15, 2008.  Mr. Fuld had publicly said he did everything
to save Lehman and he blamed the U.S. government for bailing out
other banks but letting Lehman fail.  Mr. Fuld is regulatory
probes and dozens of civil suits over his role in the firm's fall.
The Journal relates that Mr. Fuld, who once oversaw 25,000
employees, has opened a financial-advisory firm on Manhattan's
Third Avenue, with two assistants and an aide.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Firms Face FSA Action Over Structured Products
---------------------------------------------------------------
Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Financial Services
Authority and Financial Ombudsman Service have been looking at the
potential detriment this has caused for investors in the UK
structured products market.

In May, the FSA and Ombudsman agreed that the issues relating to
Lehman-backed structured products should be considered under the
"Wider Implications" process, in order to allow the FSA to explore
all options to achieve the best outcome for consumers.

The FSA has now gained enough information from its review to
enable it to move forward and believes it is now appropriate to
lift the hold on individual adjudications of complaints on an
immediate basis.

The FSA will report back on the outcomes of its review in more
detail in October but confirms that it will be taking action
against firms as a result of the findings of the review.

Dan Waters, retail policy director at the FSA, said, "This is a
hugely complex area and during our review we have looked at
promotional literature, clarity of information, quality of advice,
sales systems and controls, involving plan managers, providers and
advisers.

"There is still much for us to do and we will be outlining some of
the findings of the review next month in more detail, but I can
confirm that we have found serious issues and will be taking
action against firms," he added.

"In light of the progress we have made, we believe our regulatory
action can now progress alongside the Ombudsman adjudicating on
individual complaints without prejudicing either, so individual
cases referred to the Ombudsman can now proceed."

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Discontinues Aircraft Deicer Sales
-----------------------------------------------------
Lyondell Chemical Company announced that it intends to exit the
aircraft deicer market as a direct seller but will continue to
supply that market with propylene glycol (PG), the primary
component of deicers.

"We have made a strategic decision to transition from being a
direct participant in the aircraft deicer business to a propylene
glycol supplier with the capacity, flexibility and infrastructure
necessary to meet the demanding requirements of this market.  The
deicer market will continue to be a key outlet for our PG, but our
intended future role will be as a bulk supplier of propylene
glycol," said Patrick Quarles, Senior Vice President of
Intermediates & Derivatives for LyondellBasell.

"The chapter 11 process has provided us with a unique opportunity
to transition out of the deicer business as a direct supplier,"
Mr. Quarles said.  Lyondell recently notified customers that
offers and proposals to supply deicers for the 2009-10 winter
season had been withdrawn.  The Company has requested relief from
the bankruptcy court with respect to existing supply contract
obligations.  "We remain committed to the deicer business but our
anticipated future participation will be one step removed from the
airlines and airports that utilize this product," Mr. Quarles
said.

                      About Lyondell Chemical

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

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,

of the bankruptcy filing date.

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

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

MCGRATH HOTELS: Maureen Clark Arrested for Tax Evasion
------------------------------------------------------
Maureen Clark, the former owner of McGrath Hotels LCC's Lighthouse
Inn, was arrested by the Department of Revenue Services and the
Stonington police, Lee Howard at TheDay.com reports, Sarah
Kaufman, director of communications for the state tax-collection
agency.

According to TheDay.com, DRS charged Ms. Clark with 18 counts of
failure to pay room occupancy taxes, 11 counts of failure to pay
sales taxes, and five counts each of failure to file sales and
room occupancy taxes.

A DRS probe showed that Ms. Clark, who held the sales tax license
for Lighthouse Inn, failed to turn over the sales and room taxes
to the state of New London, TheDay.com says, citing Ms. Kaufman.

Former Lighthouse Inn workers, TheDay.com relates, said that Ms.
Clark wasn't involved in the day-to-day operation of the property
during its last few months in business.  The employees said that
Lighthouse Inn was run by Christopher Plummer in the final few
months before August 2008, TheDay.com states.

Court documents say that Ms. Clark tried to stop the Lighthouse
Inn's sale in March 2009, claiming that she had a buyer for the
property, but four days after she withdrew the request to hold up
the sale.

Lighthouse Group of Connecticut filed an involuntary Chapter 11
bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Hartford against
McGrath Hotels LCC.

MEGA BRANDS: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'CC'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its ratings on
Montreal-based MEGA Brands Inc. and its subsidiaries, including
the long-term corporate credit rating by two notches to 'CC' from
'CCC'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured debt three notches to 'C' from 'CCC', and
revised the recovery rating on the bank loan to '5' from '4'.  The
'5' recovery rating indicates an expectation of modest (10%-30%)
recovery in the event of a payment default, in contrast to a '4'
recovery rating, which indicates S&P's expectation of average
(30%-50%) recovery.  Standard & Poor's revised the recovery rating
due to its use of a lower EBITDA amount for the company in the
event of default.

"The downgrade and revision to the recovery rating reflect S&P's
view that MEGA Brands' very weak liquidity position and operating
performance, as well as high debt leverage, have resulted in a
higher risk of default," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Lori Harris.  "The company's operating cash flow remains
constrained by what S&P consider its heavy debt burden and poor
operating results," Ms. Harris added.

With negative free cash flow, MEGA Brands might need outside cash
injections or divestiture proceeds to support the business.  Both
revenue and EBITDA declined materially in the six months ended
June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008 due to lower
volume in both the toys and stationery/activities segments.  MEGA
Brands' credit protection measures have weakened considerably in
the past year, with adjusted debt to EBITDA of more than 20x for
the 12 months ended June 30, 2009.

The ratings on MEGA Brands reflect what S&P view as the company's
weak financial risk profile; limited financial flexibility;
customer concentration, with the top three customers accounting
for 43% of 2008 sales; litigation risk; and challenging toy
industry fundamentals, including a very competitive operating
environment, seasonal sales, and ongoing reliance on successful
new product introductions.

The negative outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that
MEGA Brands' liquidity, operating performance, and credit ratios
will remain weak in 2009, driven by soft EBITDA and elevated debt
levels.  S&P would likely lower the ratings if the company
defaults on its debt obligations.  Currently, S&P do not expect to
raise the ratings in the near term unless MEGA Brands meaningfully
strengthens its liquidity position.


MERCER INT'L: Sweetens Exchange Offer for 8.5% Notes Due 2010
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mercer International Inc. has amended its exchange offer for any
and all of its outstanding 8.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes due October 2010 previously commenced on July 13, 2009, and
extended on August 11 and 25, 2009, to increase the total
consideration being offered to holders of the Old Notes.

Mercer is now offering to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of
Old Notes for:

     -- $1,000 in principal amount of new 8.5% Convertible Senior
        Subordinated Notes due October 2011;

     -- a premium of 17 shares of Mercer common stock;

     -- a premium of 15 warrants to purchase one share of Common
        Stock per warrant; and

     -- accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes to, but
        excluding, the settlement date of the Amended Exchange
        Offer.

Under the Amended Exchange Offer, Holders will receive New Notes
in the same principal amount as the Old Notes.  The New Notes will
have substantially all of the same terms as the Old Notes,
including as to interest and conversion, but the maturity date
shall be one year later.  Holders of Old Notes which are validly
tendered and accepted pursuant to the Amended Exchange Offer will
receive, in addition to the New Notes and the Interest, additional
consideration in the form of 17 shares of Common Stock and 15
Warrants per $1,000 of Old Notes.  The Warrants will be
exercisable at an exercise price of $4.25 per share of Common
Stock and will expire on October 15, 2011.

Currently, approximately $67.3 million principal amount of the Old
Notes are outstanding.

The Amended Exchange Offer is being made on the terms and
conditions set forth in an amended and restated offering circular
dated September 9, 2009, and the related amended and restated
letter of transmittal.  Copies of these and other documents will
be distributed to all holders of the Old Notes. Requests for
additional copies of such documents or questions regarding the
procedures for tendering the Old Notes may be directed to the
Information Agent for the Exchange Offer, Georgeson Inc., at 1-
800-267-4403 (toll free).

The Exchange Offer is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section
3(a)(9) thereof and will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
September 23, 2009, unless extended or earlier terminated.
Tendered Old Notes may be withdrawn prior to, but not after the
Expiration Time.

Consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to the conditions
set forth in the Amended and Restated Offering Circular and the
Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal.  Subject to applicable
law, Mercer may amend, extend or terminate the Amended Exchange
Offer at any time.

On September 9, 2009, the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission:

     -- Amendment No. 3 to amends and supplement the Issuer Tender
        Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed on
        July 13, 2009.

        See http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?449b

     -- Amendment No. 1 to the Application for Qualification of
        Indenture on Form T-3 filed by Mercer International on
        July 13, 2009.

        See http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?449c

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on August 27, 2009,
Mercer extended its exchange offer until September 9, after no Old
Notes were tendered for exchange by the August 25 deadline.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on July 16, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating and issue-level rating on Mercer International.  S&P
lowered the corporate credit rating to 'CC' from 'B-' and lowered
the rating on the senior unsecured debt to 'CC' from 'B-'.  The
rating outlook is negative.  The rating downgrade followed
Mercer's exchange offer announcement.

"The rating downgrade reflects S&P's view that the exchange is
tantamount to a default given Mercer's highly leveraged financial
profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Sookram.

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Bank Debt Trades at 45% Off
------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 55.00
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 0.88
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures April 8, 2012.  The Company pays 275 basis points
above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt is not
rated by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's.  The debt is one of
the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated
loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the
154 loans with five or more bids.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc., is an independent, privately held
motion picture, television, home video, and theatrical production
and distribution company.  The Company owns the world's largest
library of modern films, comprising approximately 4,000 titles,
and over 10,400 episodes of television programming.  MGM is owned
by an investor consortium comprised of Providence Equity Partners,
TPG Capital, Sony Corporation of America, Comcast Corporation, DLJ
Merchant Banking Partners and Quadrangle Group.

The Troubled Company Reporter said on May 22, that Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer hired Moelis & Co. to help refinance $3.7 billion debt and
was in talks with a steering committee of 140 creditors led by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. as part of the process.  Sue Zeidler at
Reuters said the studio "was exploring options for optimizing its
capital structure and has begun talks with a steering committee of
its lenders as part of the process."  Ms. Zeidler said bankers
estimate MGM is paying north of $250 million a year in interest on
debt due in 2012.  Sources told Reuters MGM was potentially
seeking a way to make the loan due later, or reduce it in size.

Comcast paid about $5 billion in debt and equity in September 2004
to buy MGM from majority owner Kirk Kerkorian.  According to
Reuters, merger specialists have said MGM could be worth
$2 billion to $2.5 billion.  MGM, however, has reiterated its
commitment to staying independent.


MGM MIRAGE: Extends Early Participation Date for Exchange Offer
---------------------------------------------------------------
MGM MIRAGE is extending the early participation date for its offer
to eligible holders to exchange a portion of the $782 million in
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company's 8.50%
Senior Notes due 2010 for up to $500 million of the Company's
10.00% Senior Notes due 2016.  The early participation date was
extended from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 10,
2009, to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 24, 2009.
The withdrawal date for the exchange offer occurred at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on September 10, 2009, and will remain
unchanged.

Because the early participation date will occur concurrently with
the expiration date of the exchange offer, the Company will
exchange each $1,000 in principal amount of Existing Notes validly
tendered on or prior to the expiration date and accepted in the
exchange offer for the total consideration of $1,175 in principal
amount of the New Notes.  In the event that more than $500 million
in aggregate principal amount of New Notes would be issuable for
all of the Existing Notes validly tendered on or prior to the
expiration date and not validly withdrawn, such Existing Notes
validly tendered will be accepted on a prorated basis so that no
more than $500 million in aggregate principal amount of New Notes
will be issued in the exchange offer.

Subject to applicable law, the Company may amend, extend or
terminate the exchange offer.  Although the exchange offer is not
conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of the Existing
Notes being tendered in the exchange offer, the exchange offer is
subject to certain customary conditions described in the
confidential offering memorandum dated August 27, 2009.  The
complete terms and conditions of the exchange offer are set forth
in such confidential offering memorandum and the related letter of
transmittal, in each case, as updated.

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.

The exchange offer is being made only to qualified institutional
buyers and to certain non-U.S. investors located outside the
United States.  The exchange offer is made only by, and pursuant
to, the terms set forth in the confidential offering memorandum
and the accompanying letter of transmittal, in each case, as
updated.

NCI BUILDING: Outlines Terms of Financial Restructuring
-------------------------------------------------------
NCI Building Systems, Inc., is proposing a financial restructuring
to address an immediate need for liquidity in light of a
potentially imminent default under, and acceleration of, its
existing credit facility, which may occur as early as November 6,
2009 (which may, in turn, also lead to a default under, and
acceleration of, its other indebtedness, including the
$180.0 million in principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2024, and the high likelihood that it will
be required to repurchase the convertible notes on November 15,
2009, the first scheduled mandatory repurchase date under the
convertible notes indenture.

NCI Building is proposing to effect the financial restructuring
through one of these two approaches:

     (1) an out-of-court financial restructuring -- the
         recapitalization plan, consisting of:

         -- an exchange offer to acquire any and all of the
            convertible notes for cash and shares of the Company's
            common stock, par value $0.01 per share;

         -- a $250.0 million investment -- the CD&R investment --
            by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII, L.P., a fund
            managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., a private
            equity investment firm, involving a private placement
            to the CD&R Fund of a newly created series of NCI
            Building's preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share,
            to be designated as the Series B Cumulative
            Convertible Participating Preferred Stock;

         -- the refinancing of the Company's existing credit
            Facility -- the term loan refinancing -- under which
            the Company and the lenders under the existing credit
            agreement will enter into an amendment to the existing
            credit agreement, providing for, among other things,
            the repayment of approximately $143.3 million of the
            $293.3 million in principal amount of term loans
            outstanding under the existing credit facility and a
            modification of the terms and maturity of the
            $150.0 million balance; and

         -- the ABL financing, pursuant to which the Company will
            enter into an agreement for a $125.0 million asset-
            based loan facility;

or, in the alternative, if conditions to completion of the
recapitalization plan are not satisfied or waived,

     (2) an in-court financial restructuring, through which the
         Company would seek to accomplish the results contemplated
         by the recapitalization plan through the effectiveness of
         a prepackaged plan of reorganization.

Convertible Notes have agreed to tender their notes in the
Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New
York City time on October 7, 2009, unless extended or earlier
terminated by the Company.

On August 31, 2009, (1) the Company and the CD&R Fund executed
amendment no. 2 to the investment agreement which, among other
things, amended the terms of the exchange offer contemplated by
the original investment agreement to provide that holders of
convertible notes would receive $500 cash and 390 shares of common
stock for each $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes
tendered in the exchange offer, and (2) concurrently with such
execution, the Company and a group of noteholders representing
more than 75% of the outstanding convertible notes executed the
lock-up and voting agreement. Certain of the members of the group
of noteholders also hold term loans and other obligations under
our existing credit agreement and agreed to support the term loan
refinancing as part of the lock-up and voting agreement.
Subsequent to the execution of the lock-up  agreement, additional
holders of notes became party to the lock-up  agreement,
increasing the aggregate amount of convertible notes subject
thereto to 79% of the outstanding convertible notes.

Greenhill & Co., LLC, is acting as Dealer-Manager in connection
with the Exchange Offer. Holders of the Convertible Notes may
contact Greenhill at (888) 504-7336 with any questions they may
have regarding the Exchange Offer.

"If we are unable to complete the recapitalization plan because
the minimum tender condition, which requires that at least 95% of
the aggregate principal amount of outstanding convertible notes
are validly tendered and not withdrawn in the exchange offer, is
not satisfied or waived, or less than all of the lenders under our
existing credit facility consent to entering into the amended
credit agreement, but holders of convertible notes or obligations
under our credit agreement holding, in either case, at least 2/3
in amount and more than 1/2 in number of the claims in the
applicable class vote to accept the prepackaged plan, we will seek
to accomplish the restructuring, on the same economic terms as the
recapitalization plan, by way of the prepackaged plan," the
Company said.

The lock-up and voting agreement also provides that participating
noteholders -- to the extent that they hold obligations under the
Company's existing credit agreement -- will to support the term
loan refinancing by accepting their portion of the repayment
contemplated thereby and by executing an amendment to the
Company's existing credit agreement; and vote all of their
convertible notes and obligations under the existing credit
facility in favor of the prepackaged plan, among other things.

The Company expects to reduce its debt by $323 million and
position itself for future growth.

"[U]pon the completion of the restructuring, we expect our
indebtedness to be reduced from approximately $473.7 million as of
August 2, 2009 to approximately $150.4 million at the closing of
the restructuring, consisting of $150.0 million in principal
amount of term loans under the amended credit agreement and
$0.4 million of our industrial revenue bond," the Company said.

The ABL financing contemplated by the restructuring would provide
the Company with up to $125.0 million in liquidity, subject to
availability under a borrowing base, for working capital purposes
and future expansion. Based on discussions with prospective
lenders under the ABL agreement, however, the Company expects
that, because of borrowing base constraints, initial availability
under the ABL agreement would be substantially less than the
$125.0 million commitment, and may be as low as $45.0 million.

"If we do not complete the restructuring either through the
recapitalization plan or, in the alternative, the prepackaged
plan, because the conditions to the recapitalization plan and the
prepackaged plan have not been satisfied or waived, we will face
an immediate liquidity crisis.  If we do not complete the
restructuring, we do not expect, and we cannot assure security
holders, that we will have, or have access to, sufficient
liquidity (1) to meet our debt repayment/repurchase obligations,
including any potential acceleration of our existing credit
facility, which may occur as early as November 6, 2009 (which may,
in turn, also lead to a default under, and acceleration of, our
other indebtedness, including the convertible notes indentures)
and (2) to meet our obligation to repurchase the convertible notes
at the option of the holders thereof on November 15, 2009, the
next scheduled repurchase date," the Company said.

"In the event that we experience a liquidity crisis as described
above, it could likely result in our filing for bankruptcy
protection pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code on terms other than as
contemplated by the prepackaged plan."

              Illustrative Bankruptcy Recovery Analysis

Greenhill reviewed the illustrative bankruptcy recoveries by the
Company's stockholders and creditors implied by management's
projections under various scenarios.  Greenhill applied EBITDA
multiples of 7.0x to 9.5x to forecasted EBITDA for each of 2009
and 2010 to derive an implied enterprise value range for the
Company.  The implied enterprise value range for 2009 and 2010
ranged from $253 million to $343 million and from $249 million to
$337 million, respectively.  Greenhill then subtracted the amount
of specified secured claims (the existing credit facility and
industrial revenue bonds) and unsecured claims (the convertible
notes), which resulted in potential remaining equity value per
existing share ranging from a negative $11.26 through a negative
$6.54 (i.e., no recovery).  In performing this analysis, Greenhill
assumed that the Company's cash on hand would be required to pay
bankruptcy expenses and for working capital needs and would
therefore be unavailable to pay creditors.

Based on such analysis, Greenhill observed that the enterprise
valuation of the Company would have to exceed 13.1x and 13.3x
forecasted 2009 EBITDA and forecasted 2010 EBITDA, respectively,
for current stockholders to attain any recovery under this
analysis.

NCI BUILDING: Posts $3.97 Million Net Income for August 2 Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NCI Building Systems, Inc., last week unveiled financial results
for the third quarter ended August 2, 2009.

The Company reported net income of $3.97 million, or $0.20 per
diluted share, which included a $1.2 million restructuring charge
related to severance and plant closings.  Exclusive of this
charge, net income would have been $4.8 million, or $0.25 per
diluted share.  On the same basis, exclusive of all special
charges, the Company incurred a net loss for the 2009 second
quarter of $7.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.  For last
year's third quarter, the Company reported net income of
$31.9 million, or $1.63 per diluted share.

For the third quarter, sales were $238.4 million, up 6.1%
sequentially from sales of $224.7 million in the 2009 second
quarter but down 50.1% from the $477.6 million reported for last
year's third quarter.  Gross margin was 25.6%.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses declined 9.2% sequentially and 31.9%
from last year's third quarter.

As of August 2, 2009, the Company had $627.63 million in total
assets; and $624.23 million in total current liabilities and
$21.62 million in total long-term liabilities.

"We succeeded in returning to profitability in the third quarter
despite continued difficult market conditions, marked by a
significant year-over-year decline in nonresidential construction
activity in our commercial and industrial sectors," noted Norman
C. Chambers, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Cost reduction programs that have been implemented over the past
10 months resulted in sequential declines in the non-material
component of cost of goods sold and SG&A of 17% and 9.2%,
respectively.  Year-over-year, these expenses were down 49.7% and
31.9%, respectively.  Lower costs combined with pricing discipline
enabled us to report much improved operating results on a
sequential basis."

"Additionally, each of our business segments posted operating
profits in the third quarter, which speaks to the strength of our
market position and the efficiency of our integrated business
model," Mr. Chambers said.

                              Outlook

"We are facing continued weakness in nonresidential construction
activity, and industry forecasts do not indicate any meaningful
improvement this year or next," noted Mr. Chambers.  "Within this
challenging environment, we remain cautious, working to align our
resources with demand levels while addressing new market
opportunities and broadening our geographic reach."

"We are pleased to have achieved profitability in the third
quarter; while fourth quarter operating results will reflect our
significantly reduced cost structure, they will be affected by
revenue levels, product mix and sequential steel price trends,
which are difficult to predict at this time."

"Our recently-announced transaction with CD&R will give us the
flexibility to ride out the current economic crisis and benefit
from our strong market position and industry-leading efficiencies
once market conditions improve," Mr. Chambers said.

NORTEL NETWORKS: To Present Enterprise Auction Results Tomorrow
---------------------------------------------------------------
Avaya Inc. and Siemens Communications Systems officially started
the bidding process for Nortel Networks' enterprise business on
September 11.  Avaya was the stalking horse bidder with its US$475
million offer at the auction, which was continued to September 12.

According to reports, Judge Kevin Gross denied a request by
Verizon Communications Inc. to examine Avaya officials if it wins
the auction.  Verizon had said that Avaya has contemplated on
excluding maintenance contracts with Verizon from the purchase,
which, in effect, would disrupt Verizon's services to government
agencies and offices.  Avaya, in response, has said that it is
engaged in discussions with Verizon to attempt to negotiate
suitable arrangements for the assumption of the Verizon contracts.

The assets auctioned comprise Nortel's Enterprise Solutions
business in North American, Caribbean and Latin American and
Asian region as well as a portion of their business in Europe,
Middle East and Africa.

The Debtors are scheduled to seek approval of the results of the
auction at a hearing schedule for September 15.

The Debtors have proposed to pay Avaya a $14.25 million break-up
fee in the event Nortel elects to consummate a sale with another
party.

ORBUS PHARMA: Gets Forbearance on Debentures Until Oct. 31
----------------------------------------------------------
Orbus Pharma Inc. (ORB - TSX), announces the completion of an
arrangement for interest forbearance on the first full year of
compounded interest owing on the Convertible Debentures.

There will be forbearance on approximately $756,000 of interest
payable by Orbus to the debenture holders, which was otherwise due
on August 15, 2009, until October 31, 2009.  The terms of the
arrangement stipulate the Debenture holders will receive 2,014,000
warrants on August 16, 2009 for agreeing to the forbearance.  The
warrants are exercisable for one common share of Orbus with the
exercise price for the warrants equal to the volume weighted
average trading price for 5 trading days prior to the date of
issuing the warrants which is $0.0534 per share.  The debenture
holders are entitled to exercise the warrants on or before August
15, 2011, the effective maturity date of the Convertible
Debenture.

The provision by the Debenture Holders of interest forbearance is
a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.
The transaction is exempt from the valuation and majority of the
minority approval requirements of MI 61-101, as at the time the
transaction was agreed to the fair market value as determined
under the instrument was less than 25% of the market
capitalization.  The interest forbearance has been approved by all
of the directors who are independent as determined pursuant to
Part 7 of MI 61-101 and has been accepted by the Toronto Stock
Exchange.

A material change report will be filed by Orbus after closing, and
not 21 days before closing, to accommodate the closing of the
issuance of the warrants as soon as possible following receipt of
the Toronto Stock Exchange acceptance.

agreements for the period indicated assuming future compliance
with applicable covenants.  The Company's previous stock
repurchase program expired in August 2009.

months after such effective date.  The total cash payments to be

the Credit Agreement primarily to permit the Company to issue

to incur indebtedness and related obligations under such notes if
specified conditions are satisfied.

REALOGY CORP: Bank Debt Trades at 23% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Realogy
Corporation is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 77.00
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 068
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on Sept. 30, 2013.  The Company pays 225 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC- rating.
The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely
quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended
Sept. 11, among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

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

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

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

Moody's Investors Service on December 19, 2008, lowered its
corporate family rating on Realogy to Caa3 from Caa2 following the
company's withdrawal of an exchange offer to holders of its senior
unsecured cash pay, unsecured toggle and subordinated notes.  As
reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 3, 2009,
Moody's said Realogy's announcement that its private equity
sponsor, Apollo Management, L.P., may invest up to $150 million in
the company during fiscal 2009 will have no immediate impact on
Realogy's credit ratings, liquidity rating or the negative rating
outlook.

Realogy carries 'CC' issuer credit ratings from Standard & Poor's.

RHODE ISLAND: Tentative Deal With Unions to Stop State Shutdown
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri has reached a tentative two-year
deal with several labor unions, which the two parties say would
prevent the state government's shutdown and the layoff of 1,000
state workers, The Associated Press reports.

The AP relates that the agreement, which is aimed at helping close
a $68 million shortfall in the state budget, requires workers to
lose eight days of pay before the fiscal year ending in June, and
four more the following year.  State workers will still vote on
the deal, says the report.

According to The AP, Gov. Carcieri had planned to shut down the
government for 12 days to help close the budget gap, but a state
Supreme Court judge temporarily halted the plan.  Gov. Carcieri,
The AP relates, said that he would be forced to lay off 1,000
state workers.

Citing officials, The AP states that under tentative pact reached
with the unions as part of the deal, Gov. Carcieri wouldn't shut
down government or lay people off in the next two fiscal years.
The AP relates that a 3% pay raise due in July will be delayed
until January 2011.  The AP says that state workers would get more
vacation time and can get paid for some lost days when they
retire.

The unions had sought to Gov. Carcieri's planned closure of the
state government in the state Supreme Court, The AP reports.  The
AP states that since both sides reached a tentative deal, the
court delayed further deliberations on the case until October 3
and extended an earlier order preventing Gov. Carcieri from
shutting down state government.


RICK ROSE: Case Converted to Ch. 7; Bank Wants Rockliffe Mansion
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ann Pierceall at Herald-Whig reports that Judge Stephen V.
Callaway of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Western Louisiana in
Shreveport has converted Rick Rose's Chapter 13 case, which
commenced April 30, to Chapter 7 liquidation.  According to the
report, the conversion means Mr. Rose now faces liquidation of his
non-exempt property to pay off his creditors, rather than
reorganization of his personal finances and paying off his debt
over time.

Mr. Rose's properties include the Rockcliffe mansion.  Palmyra
State Bank filed a motion on Aug. 5 asking for the conversion or
removal of the stay prohibiting action on the mansion.  The bank
provided Rose with a $325,000 loan on June 16, 2005, to buy
Rockcliffe Mansion. Raible and Brown Insurance of Hannibal is
listed as the holder of a second mortgage of $60,000 on
Rockcliffe.

Rockcliffe Mansion is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Originally known as the Cruikshank Mansion, it was built by the
J.J. Cruikshank family between 1898 and 1900 for a then-staggering
$250,000.


SECURITY BENEFIT: S&P Retains Negative CreditWatch on 'BB' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its 'BB' counterparty
credit and financial strength ratings on Security Benefit Life
Insurance Co. and its affiliate, FirstSecurity Benefit Life
Insurance and Annuity Co. of New York, remain on CreditWatch,
where they were placed on June 9, 2009, with negative
implications.

"We had placed the ratings on CreditWatch negative to reflect
S&P's concerns about capital pressures at SBLIC," explained
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Adrian Pask.  In the second
quarter of 2009, SBLIC's total adjusted capital was $308 million,
an increase from the prior quarter but a reduction from
$326 million at the prior year end.  In the first half of 2009,
SBLIC had statutory net income of $3.4 million and operating
income of $26.8 million.  Slowing annuity sales and continued
asset-related losses were factors in the poor earnings performance
in the first quarter.  In the second quarter, earnings stabilized,
but the aggregate earnings for the first six months of the year
were below S&P's expectations for the rating.

"We intend to evaluate the company's plans to address its capital
pressures," Mr. Pask added.  "We will resolve the CreditWatch
status of the ratings following further analysis."


SERVICE MASTER: Bank Debt Trades at 12.84% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which The ServiceMaster
Co. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 87.16 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.82 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan
matures on July 24, 2014.  The Company pays 300 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt carries Moody's
B1 rating and Standard & Poor's B+ rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated loans in
secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans
with five or more bids.

The ServiceMaster Co. -- http://www.servicemaster.com/-- serves
residential and commercial customers through a network of over
5,500 company-owned locations and franchised licenses.  The

SFK PULP: S&P Affirms 'CCC+' Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it removed all the ratings
on Longueuil, Quebec-based SFK Pulp Fund from CreditWatch with
negative implications, where they were placed April 22, 2009.  At
the same time, S&P affirmed its 'CCC+' long-term corporate credit
and senior secured debt ratings on the company.  The outlook is
negative.

The '3' recovery rating on SFK's senior secured debt is unchanged,
indicating S&P's opinion as to an expectation of meaningful
recovery (50%-70%) in the event of default.

"We removed the ratings from CreditWatch based on SFK's recent
virgin fiber supply agreement and amendment of the company's
credit agreement, which S&P believes addresses near-term liquidity
risks," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jatinder Mall.
"However, given weak demand for pulp and higher operating costs,
the company will likely experience weak cash flow generation in
the next several quarters," Mr. Mall added.

The ratings on SFK reflect what S&P view as the company's
participation in the highly cyclical, fragmented, and competitive
global pulp industry; exposure to volatile pulp prices, exchange
rates, and fiber, energy, and chemical costs; high debt leverage;
and increasing competition from low-cost South American pulp
producers.  These weaknesses are partially offset, in Standard &
Poor's opinion, by the company's high degree of energy self-
sufficiency at its St. Felicien, Que., pulp mill and some product
and operational diversity.

SFK is a small pulp producer that owns and operates one softwood
pulp mill and two recycled bleached kraft pulp mills.

The negative outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectations that
SFK's financial performance will remain weak in the near term due
to what S&P believes will be poor pulp market conditions in the
next 12 months.  S&P would likely lower the ratings if lower
profitability and an accelerated free cash burn, along with a weak
pulp and lumber market outlook, contributed to liquidity declining
below C$20 million-C$25 million.  A revision of the outlook to
stable would require an improvement in industry conditions, such
that operating profitability improved to a level that would result
in EBITDA interest coverage above 1.5x on a sustained basis, which
S&P believes would ensure the company could generate some free
cash flow in a full-year working-capital cycle.

SIMMONS CO: Lenders Extend Forbearance Period Through September 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective September 11, 2009, Simmons Bedding Company, a
subsidiary of Simmons Company, entered into:

     (i) the Sixth Amendment to Second Forbearance Agreement and
         Ninth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit
         and Guaranty Agreement with a majority of its senior
         lenders; and

    (ii) Amendment No. 6 to the Forbearance Agreement to the
         Indenture with a majority of the holders of its
         $200.0 million 7.875% senior subordinated notes,

pursuant to which the forbearance periods under both of the
forbearance agreements are extended from September 11, 2009
through September 30, 2009.

Since September 27, 2008, Simmons Bedding has not been in
compliance with certain covenants of its $540.0 million senior
credit facility.  After being unable to obtain a waiver or an
amendment from its senior lenders to its senior credit facility,
Simmons Bedding entered into an initial and subsequent forbearance
agreement with a majority of its senior lenders pursuant to which
the senior lenders agreed to refrain from enforcing their
respective rights and remedies under the senior credit facility
through March 31, 2009, subject to earlier termination in some
circumstances.  Simmons Bedding entered into amendments to the
forbearance agreement with its senior lenders on March 25, 2009,
May 27, 2009, June 30, 2009, and August 14, 2009, whereby the
senior lenders extended their forbearance period through May 31,
2009, June 30, 2009, August 14, 2009, and August 31, 2009,
respectively.

On January 15, 2009, and July 15, 2009, Simmons Bedding did not
make its scheduled interest payments due on its Subordinated Notes
resulting in defaults under the indenture governing the
Subordinated Notes.  On February 14, the default associated with
the failure to pay the interest due on January 15 matured into an
event of default, which gave the holders of the Subordinated Notes
the right to declare the full amount of the Subordinated Notes
immediately due and payable.  On February 4, Simmons Bedding and a
majority of the outstanding Subordinated Notes holders entered
into a forbearance agreement, pursuant to which such noteholders
agreed to refrain from enforcing their respective rights and
remedies under the Subordinated Notes and the related indenture
through March 31, 2009.  Simmons Bedding entered into amendments
to the forbearance agreement with a majority of the Subordinated
Notes holders on March 25, 2009, May 27, 2009, June 30, 2009, and
August 14, 2009, whereby the noteholders extended their
forbearance period through May 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, August 14,
2009, and August 31, 2009, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the forbearance agreement, the
noteholders party to the forbearance agreement have the obligation
to take any actions that are necessary to prevent an acceleration
of the payments due under the Subordinated Notes during the
forbearance period.  Because the noteholders party to the
forbearance agreement represents a majority of the Subordinated
Notes, they have the power under the indenture to rescind any
acceleration of the Subordinated Notes by either the trustee or
the minority holders of the Subordinated Notes.

As a condition to the forbearance agreement with Simmons Bedding's
senior lenders, the Company initiated a restructuring process in
December 2008.  A special committee of independent directors was
formed by the board of directors on January 23, 2009, to evaluate
and oversee proposals for restructuring the Company's debt
obligations, including seeking additional debt or equity capital
and evaluating various strategic alternatives, including a
possible sale of Simmons Bedding, Bedding Holdco, Holdings,
Bedding Superholdco or any of our affiliates or assets.  There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
implementing a restructuring or any other strategic alternatives.

If the Company is unable to successfully complete a restructuring,
comply with the terms of the forbearance agreements, or extend the
forbearance periods as needed to successfully complete a
restructuring, Simmons Bedding's payment obligations under the
senior credit facility and the Subordinated Notes may be
accelerated.  If there is an acceleration of payments or default
under the senior credit facility or Subordinated Notes, then
Holdings would be in default under its Discount Notes and Bedding
Superholdco would be in default under its $300.0 million senior
unsecured loan Toggle Loan.  The Company would not have the
ability to repay any amounts accelerated under its various debt
obligations without obtaining additional equity or debt financing.
An acceleration of payments or default could result in a voluntary
filing of bankruptcy by, or the filing of an involuntary petition
for bankruptcy against, Simmons Bedding, Bedding Holdco, Holdings,
Bedding Superholdco or any of their affiliates.  Due to the
possibility of such circumstances occurring, the Company is
seeking a negotiated restructuring, including a restructuring of
its debt obligations or sale of Simmons Bedding, Bedding Holdco,
Holdings, Bedding Superholdco or any of their affiliates or
assets, which could occur pursuant to a pre-packaged, pre-arranged
or voluntary bankruptcy filing.  Any bankruptcy filing could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, liquidity and results of operations.  The
considerations above raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 27, 2009, the Company had $895.9 million in total
assets and $1.26 million in total liabilities, resulting in
stockholder's deficit of $367.5 million.

The Company incurred restructuring expenses in the quarter and
six months ended June 27, 2009 aggregating $6.6 million and
$13.9 million, respectively.

SMURFIT-STONE: Makes Voluntary $250MM Prepayment on JPMorgan Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc., on September 9, 2009,
made a voluntary $250 million prepayment on the $400 million U.S.
term loan under the Credit Agreement entered into on January 28,
2009, between SSCE, Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation and
certain of its affiliates and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent and collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian administrative agent and
Canadian collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party
thereto, as amended and restated.

The DIP Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to an
aggregate committed amount of $750 million consisting of the
$400 million U.S. term loan for borrowings by SSCE; a $35 million
Canadian term loan for borrowings by Smurfit-Stone Container
Canada Inc.; a $215 million U.S. revolving credit facility for
borrowings by SSCE and/or SSC Canada; a $35 million U.S. revolving
credit and letter of credit facility for borrowings by SSCE and/or
SSC Canada; and a $65 million Canadian revolving credit and letter
of credit facility for borrowings by SSCE and/or SSC Canada.

Following the prepayment, there will be roughly $137 million
outstanding under the U.S. term loan and $35 million under the
Canadian term loan under the DIP Credit Agreement, and the Company
will have available liquidity, including cash, of roughly
$800 million.  The Company continues to have zero borrowings
outstanding under both the U.S. revolving credit facility and the
Canadian revolving credit facility under the DIP Credit Agreement.
Smurfit-Stone Container Canada, Inc. entered into an agreement for
the sale of its Canadian timberlands and expects to close the
transaction by mid-September, resulting in a pre-payment of
roughly US$27 million of the Canadian term loan under the DIP
Credit Agreement and leaving a balance of roughly $8 million under
this facility.

On September 9, 2009, the United States Bankruptcy Court in
Wilmington, Delaware granted approval to extend for 120 additional

STANDARD PACIFIC: Fitch Assigns 'CC/RR5' Rating on $200 Mil. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects to assign a 'CC/RR5' rating to Standard
Pacific Corp.'s proposed private offering of $200 million of
senior unsecured notes due 2016.  The issue will be ranked on a
pari passu basis with all other senior unsecured debt.  The
proceeds from the offering of the notes will initially be held in
escrow.  If the conditions to the release of the funds from escrow
are satisfied, the company will use the net proceeds from the
offering to finance the repurchase of certain outstanding notes of
the company through tender offers, and to the extent there are any
remaining proceeds from the offering after the completion of the
tender offers, for the redemption or repurchase of other
outstanding debt of the company.

Fitch currently rates Standard Pacific's Issuer Default Rating
'CCC'.  The Rating Outlook is Negative.

The 'RR5' on the proposed unsecured notes offering and the
company's unsecured debt indicate below-average recovery prospects
for holders of these debt issues.  Standard Pacific's exposure to
claims made pursuant to performance bonds and joint venture debt
and the possibility that part of these contingent liabilities
would have a claim against the company's assets were considered in
determining the recovery for the unsecured debt holders.  Fitch
applied a liquidation value analysis for these RRs.

The ratings and Outlook for Standard Pacific reflect the current
very difficult U.S. housing market and Fitch's expectations that
the housing environment remains challenging for the remainder of
the year.  Nevertheless, there are more positive signals and
developments for housing and related industries now than at any
time previously in the downturn.  Of course, challenges remain or
are on the horizon that may not prevent a near-term bottom, but
are likely to meaningfully moderate the early stages of a
recovery.

The company had $568.8 million of cash on June 30, 2009.  Standard
Pacific generated $263.2 million of cash flow from operations
during fiscal year 2008 ($65.2 million during the fourth quarter),
which included $235.6 million of tax refunds received during the
first quarter of 2008.  Through the first half of 2009, the
company generated $197.6 million of cash from operations,
including a first quarter tax refund of $114.5 million.  For all
of fiscal 2009, Fitch expects the company to be slightly cash flow
positive, excluding the first quarter tax refund.  The company has
some near term debt maturities, which will deplete some of its
cash balance.  Standard Pacific has these near-term debt
maturities: $148.5 million in August 2010, and $170.6 million in
May 2011.  The company intends to repurchase a portion of these
notes with the proceeds of the private notes offering.

Standard Pacific recently amended its revolving credit agreement
and reduced the total commitment from $361.4 million to
$50 million, with future extensions of credit under the agreement
being limited (subject to certain limited exceptions) to the
issuance of letters of credit.  Consistent with Fitch's comment on
certain homebuilders' termination of revolving credit facilities,
in the absence of a revolving credit line, a consistently higher
level of cash and equivalents than was typical should be
maintained on the balance sheet, especially in these still
uncertain times.

Standard Pacific and its joint venture partners generally provide
credit enhancements in connection with JV borrowings in the form
of loan-to-value maintenance agreements.  While the company has
reduced its joint venture exposure, Standard Pacific's liquidity
may be negatively impacted by potential re-margining contributions
as well as cash outflow from unwinding certain JVs.  During the
six months ended June 30, 2009, Standard Pacific made a
$9.1 million loan remargin payment to one of its JVs.  Subsequent
to the end of the second quarter, the company unwound two JVs,
resulting in the acquisition of $80.3 million of real estate
inventories and the assumption of $52 million of secured project
debt, of which $22.9 million was paid off.  As of Sept. 8, 2009,
the company's unconsolidated JVs had approximately $46.8 million
of recourse debt, which was subject to loan-to-value maintenance
agreements.

Future ratings and Outlooks will be influenced by broad housing
market trends as well as company specific activity, such as trends
in land and development spending, general inventory levels,
speculative inventory activity (including the impact of high
cancellation rates on such activity), gross and net new order
activity, debt levels and especially free cash flow trends and
uses, and the company's cash position.

Fitch's Recovery Ratings are a relative indicator of creditor
recovery prospects on a given obligation within an issuers'
capital structure in the event of a default.


STANDARD PACIFIC: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'CCC+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Standard Pacific Corp. to 'CCC+' from 'CCC' and assigned
a 'CCC' issue rating and '5' recovery rating to the company's
proposed $200 million senior unsecured notes, due 2016.  The '5'
recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for a modest (10%-30%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  Standard Pacific
intends to use the proceeds of the new notes to fund a tender
offer for certain of its outstanding senior unsecured notes.
Concurrent with these rating actions, S&P raised its ratings on
the outstanding senior unsecured and subordinated notes.  In
addition, S&P revised its outlook on the company to developing
from negative.

"The upgrades acknowledge that Standard Pacific's new note
offering and tender offer for certain of its senior unsecured
notes will reduce the company's near-term refinancing risk," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst James Fielding.  "Additionally,
S&P recognize the company's much lower operating losses in recent
quarters resulting from improved gross margins, lower overhead
costs, and fewer land impairment charges.  That being said, S&P's
ratings continue to reflect the company's highly leveraged capital
structure and the potential, in S&P's view, for some form of debt
restructuring in the future."

The revision of the outlook to developing acknowledges that the
risk of a payment default is diminishing as the company's
liquidity improves and as market conditions stabilize.  If market
conditions continue to firm, S&P would consider revising S&P's
outlook to positive or raising S&P's corporate credit rating on
Standard Pacific to 'B-', if S&P believe the company is in a
position to reduce leverage while fully meeting the contractual
terms of its obligations.  Conversely, S&P would lower its ratings
to 'SD' (selective default) if S&P deem future exchange offers or
similar restructurings to be tantamount to a default, according to
S&P's criteria.


STANDARD PACIFIC: Swaps $5.2MM of 6% Notes for Common Shares
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Pacific Corp. -- pursuant to a privately negotiated
exchange agreement, dated September 4, 2009, entered into with a
noteholder -- agreed to exchange a total of $5,200,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 6% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes
due 2012 for a number of shares of its common stock, par value
$0.01 per share equal to the sum of:

     (i) 280,000 shares of Common Stock plus

    (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $3,507,200
         divided by a share price to be determined based on the
         volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock as
         reported on the New York Stock Exchange for specified
         consecutive trading days after the execution date of the
         agreement.

Accrued and unpaid interest on the notes exchanged will be paid in
cash.  Due to the structure of the exchange agreement, the exact
number of shares of Common Stock issuable in the Exchange
Transaction cannot yet be determined.

The Company expects to close the Exchange Transaction on
September 14, 2009, however, the closing of the Exchange
Transaction is subject to standard closing conditions.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, pursuant to the two
privately negotiated exchange agreements dated August 26, 2009,
the Company issued a total of 6,398,433 shares of Common Stock in
exchange for $27,637,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2012
Notes.

The issuance of the shares of Common Stock in the Exchange
Transaction is being made by the Company pursuant to the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) thereunder, on the basis
that each of the exchange transactions constituted an exchange
with existing holders of the Company's securities and no
commissions or other remuneration was paid for soliciting such
exchanges.

STANDARD PACIFIC: To Raise $280MM Through Issuance of 2016 Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Pacific Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Pacific
Escrow LLC, intends to issue and sell senior notes due 2016 in a
private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933.

On September 10, 2009, Escrow LLC priced $280 million aggregate
principal amount of 10.750% senior notes due 2016 at an issue
price of 91.997%.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, or
approximately $250.6 million (plus cash on hand to pay accrued
interest) to purchase, redeem or retire debt of the Company.  The
Company intends to use up to $175 million of the offering proceeds
to purchase through tender offers (and to pay related expenses),
first, the 6-1/2% Notes due August 15, 2010, then, to the extent
any amounts remain, the 6-7/8% Notes due May 15, 2011 and finally,
to the extent any amounts remain, up to $50 million principal
amount of the 7-3/4% Notes due March 15, 2013 (although the
Company reserves the right to increase the amount of notes it is
offering to purchase in the tender offers), and the remaining
proceeds will be used to repay other existing indebtedness.

Under certain conditions, the Company will assume Escrow LLC's
obligations under the notes.  If those conditions are not met,
including if the tender offers for the Company's outstanding notes
are not consummated, the 2016 Notes will be automatically
redeemed.

The notes are being offered in the United States only to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act, and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  The
notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, and, unless
so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

In connection with the offering, the Company announced that in
August 2009, it unwound two Southern California joint ventures.
In connection with these transactions, the Company acquired
roughly $80.3 million of real estate inventories which consisted
of 38 completed homes, eight model homes, 10 homes under
construction and 57 finished lots, and assumed roughly
$52.0 million of secured project debt.  In addition, subsequent to
unwinding one of these joint ventures, the Company paid off
roughly $22.9 million of secured project debt.  As of September 8,
2009, the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures had roughly
$46.8 million of recourse debt which was subject to loan-to-value
maintenance agreements (three joint ventures).

STATION CASINOS: Committee Proposes Securities Trading Procedures
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors asks the Court to
permit the panel and the affiliates of the Committee members to
trade in the Debtors' securities upon establishment and
implementation of "Ethical Walls" and in accordance with the
terms of certain Trading Procedures.

"Securities" is used as the term is defined in Section 2(a)(1) of
the Securities Act of 1933, including the following but only to
the extent they constitute securities, stocks, notes, bonds,
debentures, participation in, or derivatives based on or relating
to, any of the Debtors' obligations or equity interests.  For the
avoidance of doubt, "securities" definition does not apply to
bank debt and participations in bank debt.  Members of the
official committee will not be prohibited from trading any
claims, including, but not limited to, bank debt, subject to
compliance with applicable law.

The Committee seeks an order determining that Committee Members
acting in any capacity will neither violate their duties as
Committee Members nor subject their claims to possible
disallowance, subordination or other adverse treatment by trading
in, buying or selling the securities of the Debtors whether or
not covered by Rule 3001(e) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases, as long
as any Committee Member and its Affiliates that engage in any
transaction establish and effectively implement Ethical Wall
policies and procedures pursuant to the Trading Procedures.

The Committee asks the Court to approve these procedures and for
all Committee Members and their Affiliates to employ in trading
in the Securities:

  (a) Each Ethical Wall Entity that engages or in any way
      participates in the trading of the Securities will cause
      any personnel designated to work on matters related to the
      Debtors' Cases to execute a letter acknowledging that they
      may receive nonpublic information and that they are aware
      of, and agree to comply with, the Trading Procedures.

  (b) Committee Personnel will not directly or indirectly share
      any nonpublic information generated or received from or
      relating to Committee activities or Committee membership
      with any other employees of the Ethical Wall Entity other
      than in compliance with the Trading Procedures, provided,
      however, that Committee Personnel may share Nonpublic
      information with:

      (1) any senior management personnel employed by the
          Committee Personnel's Ethical Wall Entity who, due to
          their duties and responsibilities, have a legitimate
          need to be informed of Nonpublic Information unless
          the senior management are involved with trading or
          investment advisory activities with respect to the
          Debtors' securities, provided that the senior
          management personnel (i) complies with the Trading
          Procedures, and (ii) uses the information only in
          connection with senior managerial responsibilities,
          and (iii) are not involved with trading or investment
          advisory activities with respect to the Debtors'
          securities, and

      (2) regulators, auditors, and designated legal personnel
          employed by the Ethical Wall Entity for the purpose
          of rendering advice to Committee Personnel, provided
          that the regulators, auditors, and designated legal
          personnel (i) comply with the Trading Procedures, and
          (ii) are not involved with trading or investment
          advisory activities with respect to the Debtors'
          securities.

  (c) Each Ethical Wall Entity will create an Ethical Wall with
      respect to the Debtors' Cases.

  (d) All Committee Personnel will keep Nonpublic Information
      generated from Committee activities in files inaccessible
      to other employees.

  (e) Committee Personnel will receive no information regarding
      their respective Ethical Wall Entity's trades in the
      Securities in advance of the trades, except that Committee
      Personnel may receive customary internal or public reports
      showing the Ethical Wall Entity's purchases and sales and
      the amount and class of securities owned by the Ethical
      Wall Entity, including the Securities, provided that the
      reports will not contain non-public information.

  (f) Each Ethical Wall Entity's compliance department or
      internal counsel will review from time to time the Trading
      Procedures employed by the Ethical Wall Entity as
      necessary to ensure compliance with the Order and will
      keep and maintain records of their review; provided,
      however, the Court, the United States Trustee, or the
      Debtors are not precluded from taking any action each may
      deem appropriate in the event that it is determined that
      an actual breach of fiduciary duty has occurred because
      the procedures employed have not been effective or for
      reasons unrelated to the fact of the Ethical Wall Entity's
      ability to trade based upon the establishment of the
      procedures.

  (g) Committee Personnel's obligations to abide by the Trading
      Procedures survive a Committee Member's resignation from
      the Committee.

Certain of the Committee Members are investment advisors that
provide investment-advisory services to institutional, pension,
mutual fund and high net-worth clients and affiliated funds and
accounts.  These Committee Members may also buy and sell the
Securities for their own portfolios.  As part of these regular
business activities, the Committee Members have duties to
maximize returns for their clients or shareholders through the
buying and selling of the Securities.

The Committee Members acknowledge that they have certain legal
duties regarding Nonpublic Information about the Debtors.  In
addition, they acknowledge that trading in the Securities by
Committee Members may implicate various federal laws limiting or
attaching consequences to trading in the Securities on the basis
of Non-public Information.

Counsel to the Committee, Brad Eric Scheler,  Esq., at Fried,
Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, in New York, relates that
if the Committee Members are barred from trading the Securities
during the pendency of the Cases because of their service on the
Committee, they risk the loss of potentially beneficial
investment opportunities for their clients, shareholders and
themselves.  Alternatively, if Committee Members resign from the
Committee, their clients' interests may likewise be compromised
by the Committee Members relinquishing a more active role in the
reorganization process in the Cases.

SUN-TIMES MEDIA: Proposes Wage-Benefit Cuts From 18 Unions
----------------------------------------------------------
Chris Fusco at Chicago Sun-Times reports that Sun-Times Media
Group has sought wage-and-benefit reductions from 18 unions.

According to Chicago Sun-Times, the concessions include cuts in
severance pay and limiting it to four weeks and elimination of
seniority as a deciding factor in layoffs.

Citing Chicago Newspaper Guild executive director Tom Thibeault,
Chicago Sun-Times notes that union employees had been aware of
Sun-Times Media's plea to continue 15% compensation cuts
negotiated after the Company's bankruptcy.  According to Chicago
Sun-Times, Sun-Times Media wants to extend those cuts for three
years, regardless of when union contracts expire.

Mr. Thibeault said that Sun-Times Media also proposed that it be
allowed to move workers from location to location, and assign more
union work to non-union workers, Chicago Sun-Times states.

Sun-Times Media told union members that the concessions need to be
accepted by September 29, Chicago Sun-Times states.  The report
says that without significant union concessions, the Tyree group
said that it will walk away from the proposed $25 million deal to
acquire Sun-Times Media.

Crain's Chicago Business reports that union members could
derail Sun-Times Media Group Inc.'s sale to James Tyree.  The
unions are balking at sweeping concessions he is demanding as
terms of his deal.  "It's a terrible piece of dung," Thomas
Thibeault, executive director of the Newspaper Guild of Chicago,
said of the required concessions. "It guts our contract."

The guild represents five of the 18 bargaining units within Sun-
Times Media, including the newsrooms of the Chicago Sun-Times and
Pioneer Press publications.

As reported by the TCR on September 10, 2009, Sun-Times Media
Group Inc. filed with the Bankruptcy Court motions seeking
approval of the sale of its business to James C. Tyree-led
STMG Holdings LLC, absent higher and better bids at an auction on
October 7.

Sun-Times Media Group has entered into a "stalking horse" asset
purchase agreement with STMG Holdings, LLC, a private investor
group led by Chicago businessman James C. Tyree, for substantially
all assets of Sun-Times Media Group.  The buyer will acquire
substantially all assets of the Company for $5 million in cash,
subject to a working capital adjustment, and will assume certain
liabilities of Sun-Times Media Group estimated to total
approximately $20 million.

The Company said that Rothschild Inc. conducted extensive
marketing efforts for its assets or business but only James
C. Tyree-led STMG Holdings LLC submitted an offer to purchase
assets on a going concern basis.

The Company proposes an October 7 auction, and an October 8 sale
hearing.  The Bankruptcy Court will consider approval of the
proposed auction procedures on September 24.

            Sale Won't Pay All Administrative Costs

"The sale option likely will require that the estate be
administered for a period of time in Chapter 11 to realize a full
recovery for administrative creditors," says Pauline K. Morgan,
Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in Wilmington
Delaware, on behalf of Sun-Times Media.

Nonetheless, the sale option will preserve the Chicago Sun-Times
as a going-concern with substantial benefits for various
constituents, Ms. Morgan contends.  She notes that:

  -- The proposed sale option preserves jobs.  The Debtors
     currently employ 1,409 hourly employees (approximately 45% of
     which are unionized) and 495 salaried employees, all of whose
     jobs would be eliminated in a liquidation.

  -- A going concern will also continue to do business with the
     estates' suppliers, vendors and customers, and, importantly,
     it will continue to produce tax revenues.

  -- The sale option will preserve rather than destroy a vital
     part of Chicago's rich journalism history, which in the case
     of the Sun-Times traces its origins to 1948.

SWIFT TRANSPORTATION: Bank Debt Trades at 20.25% Off
----------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Swift
Transportation Co., Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary
market at 79.75 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended
Sept. 11, 2009, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 0.71 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The loan matures on March 15, 2014.  The Company
pays 325 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank debt carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B-
rating.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
widely quoted syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week
ended Sept. 11, among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

TI ACQUISITION: Supplier Prevails in Sec. 503(b)(9) Claim Dispute
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that a supplier that had shipped material to a
Chapter 11 debtor within 20 days of the petition date in the
ordinary course of the parties' business was entitled to an
administrative expense claim for the value of such material, with
no reduction for payments that it received during this same 20-day
period on its earlier invoices.  This was required by the plain
terms of an administrative expense provision in 11 U.S.C. Sec.
503(b)(9) which was added to the Code by the Bankruptcy Abuse
Prevention and Consumer Protection Act in 2005.  Moreover, the
statute requiring the court to disallow any proof of claim filed
by an entity from whom property is recoverable under turnover or
avoidance provisions, unless the entity has paid the amount, or
turned over any such property, for which the entity or transferee
is liable, did not provide a basis for disallowance of
administrative expense claims, not even of an administrative
expense claim which, like ordinary proofs of claim subject to
allowance or disallowance under a Code provision dealing with
prepetition claims generally, was based on a transaction occurring
prepetition.  In re TI Acquisition, LLC, --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL
2835200 (Bankr. N.D. Ga.).

Dalton, Georgia-based TI Acquisition, LLC, does business as Thomas
Industries, Monticello Floors, Mattel, Superior Yarn Technology,

Consulting provides the committee with financial advice.

When the Debtor filed for bankruptcy, it listed assets of
$10 million to $50 million and debts of $50 million to
$100 million.  The Debtor listed $3,213,604 in unsecured debt owed
to Honeywell Nylon, LLC, and $1,326,415 owed to Southern Polymer,
Inc.  The Debtor partly blamed its financial demise on Propex
Inc.'s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in January 2008.  Propex is
one of the Debtor's largest clients.


TODD'S BY THE BRIDGE: Closes After Failing to Pay Drink Tax
-----------------------------------------------------------
Karamagi Rujumba at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Common
Pleas Judge Robert J. Colville ordered the closure of Todd's By
the Bridge and Crazy Karen's bars due to failure of paying
Allegheny County's 7% drink tax.

According to Post-Gazette, Todd's By the Bridge, owes the county
some $50,000, and Crazy Karen's, owes about $20,000.  Post-Gazette
relates that Treasurer John Weinstein, whose office is in charge
of collecting the tax, said that after several attempts to collect
taxes from the bars, he ran out of patience.

Talerico's bar was also part of the judge's order, but its owner
agreed to pay $27,000 in back taxes, Post-Gazette states.


TRIBUNE CO: Bank Debt Trades at 55% Off in Secondary Market
-----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Tribune Co. is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 45.03 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009, according to data

from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan matures
May 17, 2014.  Tribune pays 300 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  Moody's has withdrawn its rating on the bank
debt, while it is not rated by Standard & Poor's.  The debt is one
of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted syndicated

-------------------------------------------------------------
Rhoda Miel at Plastics News reports that Triple Diamond Plastics,
Inc., has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio, listing 28
listing $1 million to $10 million in liabilities.

receivable.  Court documents say that Triple Diamond listed sales
of $3 million in 2007 and $3.4 million in 2008.  Plastics News
relates that Triple Diamond had reported $985,000 in sales so far

UBS AG: Workers Worried of Debt Securities, Wanted to Unload Them
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Serena Ng and Carrick Mollenkamp at The Wall Street Journal report
that e-mails presented in court show that in the summer and fall
of 2007 some U.S. UBS AG employees became increasingly worried
about billions of dollars of debt securities inventoried on the
bank's books and wanted to find a way to unload them.

As reported by the TCR on September 11, 2009, Connecticut Court
Judge John F. Blawie has ruled that UBS set aside $35.5 million to
cover a potential judgment against it in a case involving debt
securities that employees called "crap" and "vomit".  Hedge fund
Pursuit Partners LLC claimed that UBS sold investment-grade debt
securities to the firm in 2007, though the Company knew that the
securities were about to be downgraded by ratings agencies.  Judge
Blawie said that Pursuit Partners had "presented sufficient
evidence to satisfy the probable cause standard with respect to
their claim that UBS was in possession of superior knowledge that
was not readily available" to the company.

Based in Zurich, Switzerland, UBS AG (VTX:UBSN) --
http://www.ubs.com/-- is a global provider of financial services
for wealthy clients.  UBS's financial businesses are organized on
a worldwide basis into three Business Groups and the Corporate
Center.  Global Wealth Management & Business Banking consists of
three segments: Wealth Management International & Switzerland,
Wealth Management US and Business Banking Switzerland.  The
Business Groups Investment Bank and Global Asset Management
constitute one segment each.  The Industrial Holdings segment
holds all industrial operations controlled by the Group.  Global
Asset Management provides investment products and services to
institutional investors and wholesale intermediaries around the
globe.  The Investment Bank operates globally as a client-driven
investment banking and securities firm.  The Industrial Holdings
segment comprises the non-financial businesses of UBS, including
the private equity business, which primarily invests UBS and
third-party funds in unlisted companies.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, UBS has
amassed more than US$53 billion in writedowns and losses since the
credit crisis began.  The bank expects to post a loss in the
second quarter of 2009.  The bank's net loss for full-year 2008
widened to CHF19.697 billion from of CHF5.247 million in the prior
year.  Net losses from continuing operations totaled
CHF19.327 billion, compared with losses of CHF5.111 billion in the
prior year.  UBS attributed the losses to negative revenues in its
fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC) area.  For the
2008 fourth quarter, UBS incurred a net loss of CHF8.100 billion,
down from a net profit of CHF296 million.  Net loss from
continuing operations was CHF7.997 billion compared with a profit
of CHF433 million.  The Investment Bank recorded a pre-tax loss of
CHF7.483 billion, compared with a pre-tax loss of CHF2.748 billion
in the prior quarter.  This result was primarily due to trading
losses, losses on exposures to monolines and impairment charges
taken against leveraged finance commitments.  An own credit charge
of CHF1.616 billion was recorded by the Investment Bank in fourth
quarter 2008, mainly due to redemptions and repurchases of UBS
debt during this period.

UBS said it will further reduce its headcount to 15,000 by the end
of the year.  UBS's personnel numbers reduced to 77,783 on
December 31, 2008, down by 1,782 from September 30, 2008, with
most staff reductions at its investment banking unit.


US ONCOLOGY: S&P Rates $120 Mil. Revolving Facility at 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------
On Sept. 10, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services rated
Houston, Texas-based U.S. Oncology Inc.'s $120 million revolving
credit facility 'BB-'.  The recovery rating of '1' indicates
prospects for very high recovery (90%-100%) in the event of a
default.  The facility matures in August 2012.  The revolver is
rated two notches above S&P's B/Stable/-- corporate credit rating
on the company.

The speculative-grade rating on US Oncology Inc. reflects its
significant debt burden (based on the consolidated borrowings of
the company and its parent, US Oncology Holdings Inc.),
vulnerability to adverse changes in third-party reimbursement
policies, narrow operating focus (the treatment of a single
disease), and competitive threats.  S&P believe these factors are
only minimally offset by rising long-term demand trends, the
company's broad geographic presence and its ability to recruit and
retain oncologists, which is a key revenue growth factor.

points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among widely quoted
syndicated loans in secondary trading in the week ended Sept. 11,
among the 154 loans with five or more bids.

Meanwhile, participations in a syndicated loan under which Las
Vegas Sands Corp. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
78.19 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Sept. 11, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.69

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


VENTURE BANK, LACY: First-Citizens Bank Assumes Deposits
--------------------------------------------------------
Venture Bank, Lacy, Washington, was closed September 11 by the
Washington Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.  To protect
the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Raleigh, North
Carolina, to assume all of the deposits of Venture Bank.

The eighteen branches of Venture Bank will reopen during normal
business hours beginning tomorrow as branches of First-Citizens
Bank & Trust Company.  Depositors of Venture Bank will
automatically become depositors of First-Citizens Bank & Trust
Company.  Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so
there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage.
Customers should continue to use their existing branches until
First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company can fully integrate the
deposit records of Venture Bank.

As of July 28, 2009, Venture Bank had total assets of $970 million
and total deposits of approximately $903 million.  In addition to
assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, First-Citizens
Bank & Trust Company agreed to purchase approximately $874 million
of the assets.  The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for
later disposition.

The FDIC and First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company entered into a
loss-share transaction on approximately $715 million of Venture
Bank's assets.  First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company will share in
the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share
agreement.  The loss-sharing arrangement is projected to maximize
returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private
sector. The agreement also is expected to minimize disruptions for
loan customers.

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-430-7974.  Interested parties can also
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

    http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/venture-wa.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $298 million.  First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company's
acquisition of all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution
for the FDIC's DIF compared to alternatives.  Venture Bank is the
92nd FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and
the third in Washington.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed
in the state was Westsound Bank, Bremerton, on May 8, 2009.

WILLIAM LYON: Unit to Sell Gulfstream Aircraft for $8.25MM
----------------------------------------------------------
Presley CMR, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of William Lyon
Homes, Inc., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation, on September 3,
2009, entered into an Aircraft Purchase and Sale Agreement with
Martin Aviation, Inc., and affiliate of General William Lyon.

Pursuant to the PSA, Presley CMR agreed to sell, transfer and
deliver to Martin, and Martin agreed to purchase, one used
Gulfstream IV aircraft together with all parts, items of
equipment, instruments, components and accessories installed
therein or thereon.  The agreement provides for an aggregate
purchase price for the Aircraft of $8,250,000 (which value was the
appraised fair market value of the Aircraft), which consists of:
(i) cash in the amount of $2,062,500 to be paid at closing and
(ii) the assumption by Martin of $6,187,500 in principal amount of
existing indebtedness of Presley CMR to WLH, evidenced by delivery
of a promissory note from Martin at closing in that principal
amount.  The Note will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the
12-month LIBOR announced on the closing date by the Wall Street
Journal plus 3% (with interest-only payments made semi-annually)
and will mature seven years from the closing date.

The closing of this sale occurred on September 9, 2009.

In connection with the sale of the Aircraft, Presley CMR and
Martin also entered into an Aircraft Mortgage and Security
Agreement, pursuant to which William Lyon Homes, Inc. will receive
a security interest in the Aircraft to secure the payment of
amounts due under the aforementioned promissory note.  Pursuant to
the MSA, Martin agreed to always maintain the mortgage as a first
priority security interest and lien upon the Aircraft and Presley
CMR, as the secured party, obtained certain rights against the
mortgaged property in the event of default by Martin.

Based in Newport Beach, California, William Lyon Homes --
http://www.lyonhomes.com/-- is primarily engaged in the design,
construction and sale of single family detached and attached homes
in California, Arizona and Nevada and at June 30, 2009 had 24
sales locations.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $828,629,000 in total assets
and $676,415,000 in total liabilities.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 12, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed William Lyon's corporate family
rating of Caa2 and changed its probability of default rating to
Caa2/LD from Ca, following the company's announcement that its
tender offer, which was extended to all of its senior noteholders
on April 13, 2009, had expired on June 5, 2009.  Subsequent to the
offer, approximately $53 million (or 11%) of William Lyon's
outstanding senior notes were tendered at substantial discounts to
par.  The transactions constitute a distressed exchange and a
limited default by Moody's definition.

The TCR said June 18, 2009, that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on William Lyon to
'CCC-' from 'SD' (selective default).  The outlook is negative.
S&P also raised S&P's ratings on the company's senior unsecured
notes to 'CC' from 'D'.  The upgrades follow S&P's review of
William Lyon's capital structure with adjustments for the recent
tender for some of its notes.  Standard & Poor's credit analyst
James Fielding said, "We viewed the below-par exchange as
tantamount to default given the distressed financial condition of
the company.  S&P's 'CCC-' corporate credit rating on the company
reflects S&P's view that the company remains highly leveraged on a
pro forma basis, as well as our expectations that covenant
pressures will heighten if operating losses continue to mount."

YL WEST 87TH HOLDINGS: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
-----------------------------------------------------------------
YL West 87th Holdings I. LLC, which owes $20 million to its
Garrison Investment Group, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York.

Gary Kushner, Esq., at Forchelli, Curto, Schwartz, Mineo, et al.,
assists YL West in its restructuring efforts.

The Park Columbus project's construction stalled earlier this
year, says Crain's New York Business.  According to Crain's,
sources said that the New York state' Attorney General's office
then declared the Park Columbus' offering plan ineffective.
Halstead Property also sued the developer for $75,000 in
outstanding fees and expenses, the report states.

YL West 87th Holdings I. LLC operates a real estate business in
New York.


YRC WORLDWIDE: New Penn Employees Accept Labor Contract Changes
---------------------------------------------------------------
YRC Worldwide Inc. said September 9, 2009, that union employees at
its regional carrier, New Penn, have joined the more than 90% of
its employees represented by the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters in voting "yes" to ratify a previously announced
modification to the National Master Freight Agreement.

"As employee owners and stakeholders, our union workforce has made
difficult decisions and demonstrated their commitment to achieving
long-term success for YRC Worldwide.  Revisions to the contract
enable the company to strengthen its financial position," said
Mike Smid, President of YRC Inc. and Chief Operations Officer of
YRC Worldwide.

The modified agreement includes a 5% incremental wage reduction
and an 18-month cessation of union pension fund contributions,
which will not require repayment.  Related savings from the
pension and wage reduction are approximately $45 million per
month, and primarily began in August.  Savings increase to an
estimated $50 million per month in 2010.

The company and the Teamsters are addressing employee concerns in
the remaining smaller bargaining units who have yet to ratify the
contract changes.  This represents a small percentage of the
company's unionized workforce.

* Another Round of Airline Bankruptcies Possible, Analysts Say
--------------------------------------------------------------
Some analysts said that there is a possibility of another round of
bankruptcy filings by airlines, Marc Friedman at Minneapolis
Airlines/Airport Examiner reports.

Examiner.com relates that Delta Airlines, United Air Lines,
Northwest Airlines, Frontier, US Airways, and Continental have
already gone into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  According to the report,
American Airlines, United Air Lines, and US Airways are believed
to be most vulnerable in the recession.

Examiner.com notes that many business travelers have stopped
traveling, while some have lessened travels.  The report says that
revenues have decreased 20% this year and even more from 2008 at
the four largest U.S. airlines.  JPMorgan analyst Jamie Baker
estimated that American Airlines would lose more than $11 million
daily in the fourth quarter 2009, while United Air will decline
$7 million per day.

"We don't think any airline will have liquidity issues this
winter," Examiner.com quoted US Airways Chief Financial Officer
Derek Kerr as saying.  According to the report, other airlines
thought so too, believing that they can survive the slow travel
season this fall.


* FDIC Asks Closed Bank Buyers' to Grant Forbearance to Unemployed
------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of its loss-share agreement with acquirers of failed FDIC-
insured institutions, the FDIC is encouraging its loss-share
partner institutions to consider temporarily reducing mortgage
payments for borrowers who are unemployed or underemployed.  This
program will provide additional foreclosure prevention
alternatives to these borrowers through forbearance agreements
that will give them an opportunity to regain full employment and
avoid an unnecessary foreclosure.

"With more Americans suffering through unemployment or cuts in
their paychecks, we believe it is crucial to offer a helping hand
to avoid unnecessary and costly foreclosures.  This is simply good
business since foreclosure rarely benefits lenders and would cost
the FDIC more money, not less," said FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair.
"This is a win-win for the borrower, who can remain in his or her
home while looking for a new job, and the acquiring institution,
which continues to receive payments on the loan.  Ultimately, by
reducing losses under our loss-share agreements, this approach
helps reduce losses to the FDIC as well."

The recommendation to loss-share partners applies where
unemployment, or underemployment, is the primary cause for default
on a home mortgage.  In such cases, the FDIC is urging its loss-
share partners to consider the borrower for a temporary
forbearance plan, reducing the loan payment to an affordable level
for at least six months.  The monthly payment during this period
should be established based on an affordable payment -- given the
borrower's circumstances -- and it should allow for reasonable
living expenses after payment of mortgage-related expenses.  The
reductions in mortgage payments during a temporary forbearance
period are not covered losses under the loss-share agreement with
the FDIC, though losses incurred from subsequent permanent loan
modifications are covered.  If the home preservation efforts are
ultimately unsuccessful, losses incurred in subsequent
foreclosures or short sales also are covered losses.

Acquirers of failed insured institutions who agree to a loss-share
arrangement with the FDIC must abide by the FDIC Mortgage Loan
Modification program for assets purchased from the failed
institution.  The program's objective is to modify the terms of
certain residential mortgage loans to improve affordability,
increase the probability of performance, allow borrowers to remain
in their homes and increase the value of the loans to the FDIC and
assignees.  The program provides for the modification of
"qualifying loans" -- those that meet certain criteria -- by
reducing the borrower's monthly housing debt to income ratio (DTI
ratio) to no more than 31 percent at the time of the modification
and eliminating adjustable interest rate and negative amortization
features.


* Fed Failed to Curb Flawed Lending in Two Banks, Says Reports
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fed Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman said that Federal Reserve
examiners failed to rein in practices that led to losses from
excessive real estate lending at two banks in California and
Florida that later closed.

Ms. Coleman, in report on Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast in Cape
Coral, Florida, said the bank warranted more immediate supervisory
attention, such as (1) conducting an asset quality target
examination, (2) requiring the bank to prepare a new capital plan,
or (3) further accelerating the full-scope examination that was
conducted in March 200, by the Atlanta district bank.  With
respect to County Bank in Merced, California, the San Francisco
Fed should have taken a "more aggressive supervisory" approach,
Ms. Coleman said in another material loss review report, also
dated Sept. 9.

Copies of the two reports are available for free at:

   http://bankrupt.com/misc/RBGC_MLR_20090909.pdf
   http://bankrupt.com/misc/County_Bank_MLR_20090909.pdf

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has said that the
failure of Riverside-Gulf Coast would result in an estimated loss
to the DIF of $201.5 million, or 37.5% of the bank's
$536.7 million in total assets.  County's failure would result in
an estimated loss to the DIF of $135.8 million, or 8% of the
bank's $1.692 billion in total assets

The FDIC has said that its Deposit Insurance Fund decreased by
$2.6 billion -- 20.3% -- during the second quarter to
$10.4 billion.  According to the FDIC, the reduction in the DIF
was primarily due to an $11.6 billion increase in loss provisions
for bank failures.

          Programs Not Sufficient for Another Failure

Meanwhile, almost a year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc., U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in an
interview with the Financial Times that reforms made by the U.S.
following the global banking crisis are not sufficient to contain
another banking failure from polluting the rest of the financial
system.  "Things are not yet in place," Mr. Geithner said.  "We do
not have a new international capital accord and stronger
resolution authority."

Ron Feldman, senior vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank on
Minneapolis, said in a broadcast interview with Bloomberg that
U.S. regulators should be better prepared to handle bank failures
while making efforts to avert the collapse of financial
institutions.


* 3 Banks Shuttered; Year's Bank Failures Now 92
------------------------------------------------
Three banks -- Brickwell Community Bank, Woodbury, Minnesota;
Corus Bank, N.A., Chicago, Illinois; and Venture Bank, Lacey,
Washington --- were closed September 11 by regulators and sent to
receivership before the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC).  This year's closed banks have risen to 92.

Other than Platinum Community, the FDIC was able to locate buyers
for all deposits and certain assets of the banks that were closed
on September 4.   The FDIC entered into a loss-share transactions
on majority of the closed banks' assets purchased by the buyers.

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

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

                     416 Banks on Problem List

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

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

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

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

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

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

                      2009 Failed Banks List

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

* Canadian July Bankruptcies Rise 36% on Year, Slowing From June
----------------------------------------------------------------
Theophilos Argitis at Bloomberg reports that Canadian bankruptcies
rose at a slower annual pace in July than a month earlier, as
fewer consumers gave up paying their bills during the month.  The
number of bankruptcies filed by consumers and businesses in Canada
rose 36 percent to 10,726 in July from a year ago, the country's
bankruptcy superintendent reported on its Web site.  Bankruptcies
were up at an annual pace of 52 percent in June.


* Diary of a Crisis II: Bear, Lehman and Into the Abyss
-------------------------------------------------------
"As we approach the one-year anniversary of Lehman's demise, it is
useful to take a look back and remember how fragile financial
markets and the economy were prior to the company's failure: one
of Wall Street's oldest and most venerable investment banks, Bear
Stearns, was wiped out of existence; a run on IndyMac resulted in
the second largest bank failure to date; and, the very backbone of
the mortgage industry -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- were taken
into conservatorship by the U.S. Treasury on account of their
liquidity problems.  Add to that a bankruptcy the magnitude of
Lehman, and it is a bit of a shock that we didn't slip into
another Great Depression," says Diane Swonk, chief economist of
Mesirow Financial, in her September edition of Themes on the
Economy, located at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?44a6

Ms. Swonk's September newsletter is a sequel to the August issue
of Themes on the Economy, both of which are part of an extensive
research project that she is currently carrying out.

"We may have been able to avoid the massacre that occurred in the
fall of 2008. For all the missteps, however, it seems painfully
clear that we would have suffered an even worse fate if policy
makers hadn't acted when they did:

"Rumors that mortgage losses were amassing at Bear Stearns began
to surface in February 2008. By early March, large hedge funds
were making enormous bets in the credit default swaps (CDS) market
against Bear.  The company's stock price, which traded at $100 per
share in late 2007, had slipped below $70 per share."

    * March 11, 2008: Fearing that the run on Bear and primary
      dealers was getting out of hand, the Fed launched a new
      lending facility.

    * March 12, 2008: Alan Schwartz, the CEO of Bear Stearns, made
      a plea on CNBC from his vacation home in Florida: "We're not
      . . . aware of anybody who is not taking our credit as a
      counterparty. We don't see any pressure on our liquidity,
      let alone a liquidity crisis."

"Many on Wall Street appeared to be rooting for Bear's demise.
Bear was the only major investment house that refused to help Long
Term Capital Management (LTCM) at the height of the 1998 financial
crisis and, as a result, had gained a reputation as a bully," says
Swonk.

    * March 14, 2008: Bear announced that it was courting its
      rival, JP Morgan Chase, and the federal government for an
      emergency bailout.

    * March 16, 2008: At approximately 7:00 p.m. CST (8:00 p.m.
      EST), the Fed announced that JP Morgan Chase had agreed to
      purchase Bear Stearns for the jaw-dropping price of $2 per
      share, contingent upon a transfer of about $30 billion in
      illiquid or "toxic" mortgage assets from Bear's balance
      sheet to that of the Fed.

    * March 17, 2008: The $2 per share strike price came under
      immediate fire .This, coupled with a side deal that Jamie
      [Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase] did to
      buy a controlling stake of the company from Bear's board at
      $10 per share, forced Jamie to later renegotiate the offer
      to $10 per share.

    * March 18, 2008: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
      voted to lower the fed funds rate 75 basis points from 3% to
      2.25% in an effort to shore up markets in the wake of the
      Bear Stearns "sale."

    * April 30, 2008: The FOMC voted to lower the fed funds target
      another 25 basis points to 2%. Fisher [Richard Fisher of the
      Dallas Fed] and Plosser [Charlie Plosser of the Philadelphia
      Fed] dissented.

"Things looked a little better once the $150 billion in stimulus
checks started to hit consumer wallets. Nothing was left once we
got to the third quarter. Home values plunged, putting an end to
home equity borrowing and mortgage refinancing," notes Swonk.

    * July 8, 2008: Share prices at Fannie and Freddie plummeted
      more than 15% over concerns about loan defaults.

    * July 10, 2008: Fannie's and Freddie's share prices plunged
      further after Bloomberg reported that Bill Poole, former
      president of the St. Louis Fed, said that Fannie and Freddie
      were already insolvent.

    * July 11, 2008: At 3 p.m. PST (6 p.m. EST), the Office of
      Thrift Supervision (OTS) closed the Pasadena headquarters of
      IndyMac...

    * September 8, 2008: The Treasury put Fannie Mae and Freddie
      Mac into conservatorship.

    * September 10, 2008: Lehman announced a loss of $3.9 billion
      (after losing almost $3 billion in the second quarter). . .

    * September 11, 2008: Rumors that Lehman was now looking for a
      suitor intensified, and the stock price fell another 40%.
      The top two contenders were Barclays and Bank of America (B
      of A).

    * September 16, 2008: Barclays purchased much of Lehman's
      investment banking unit out of bankruptcy. . .AIG's stock
      price plummeted 32% by mid-day (it had already taken a 61%
      plunge the previous day) and was downgraded by three ratings
      agencies. . .losses were mounting too quickly for anyone but
      the government to step in.

"The panic that had taken hold of financial markets intensified.
Investors fled from investments that were associated with risk for
the relative "safety" of the U.S. Treasury market, and the yield
on treasury bills plummeted," says Swonk.

    * September 20, 2008: Treasury released a three-and-a-half-
      page draft, which would give the treasury secretary
      unprecedented authority. . .

    * September 21, 2008: Washington Mutual (WaMu) was merged into
      JP Morgan Chase, setting off a chain reaction of events, and
      further undermining the ability of banks to raise capital.
      The crisis was in full swing, and the worst was yet to come.

"Once Lehman fell there was nowhere for the economy to go but
down," says Swonk. The question was how far were we willing to
fall and how many lives were we willing to sacrifice before we did
something about it?"

                           *********

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.
