AFFILIATED MEDIA: Says Prepack Ch. 11 to Cut $930MM Debt to $165MM
------------------------------------------------------------------
Affiliated Media, Inc., on Friday announced that it has obtained
the approval of its lenders for a financial restructuring of the
company that will sharply reduce its debt, boost its cash flow and
allow greater financial flexibility.  The plan will be implemented
in the near future through a "prepackaged" chapter 11 filing.

Affiliated Media, Inc. is the holding company for the MediaNews
Group family of newspapers, the nation's second-largest newspaper
publisher by circulation and owner of 54 daily newspapers, over
100 non-daily newspapers, as well as Web sites, television and
radio broadcasters that serve markets in 12 states.

Unlike other media company reorganizations, this one does not
involve the newspaper operations or have any effect on employees
or vendors of the newspapers.  Only the holding company will
restructure.

The reorganization, structured in consultation with the company's
senior lenders, provides for the swap by senior lenders of debt
for equity, and reduction of the company's debt of approximately
$930 million to $165 million. There will be no management change
or change in control of the company. William Dean Singleton,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MediaNews Group, will
continue to select a majority of the members on the Board of
Directors. The Singleton led management will be authorized to own
20% of the company through stock and warrants. Singleton and
company President Joseph J. Lodovic IV will control the company
through their ownership of all class A shares of the company,
which entitles them to elect a majority of the board of directors.
Other stockholders will own class B and class C shares.

"In our search for a new model that reflects the realities of
today's changing newspaper environment, we have come up with a
solution that restores financial strength and flexibility to our
balance sheet," said Mr. Singleton. "It does not affect the
operations of any of our newspapers or vendors or other
operations. It gives us one of the strongest balance sheets in the
industry. It gives us breathing space to create a new model for
the newspapers we publish."

Mr. Singleton added: "One critical advantage of our plan, compared
with those by some other media companies, is that it is a
prepackaged plan that has the approval of lenders and unlike other
filings, this one does not involve our newspaper operations."  He
noted that the plan allows for claims of Affiliated Media's trade
creditors, suppliers and employees to be unaffected by the filing
and paid in the ordinary course as they come due. Almost all of
the company's trade creditors, suppliers and employees are totally
unaffected in any event since none of the individual newspaper
operations are involved in the reorganization plan. "For them,
it's business as usual," he said.  The company is current on all
vendor payments, he said, and expects to remain so. He said the
company has adequate cash to fund all its operations in a normal
fashion.

At present, senior lenders to the company are owed approximately
$590 million, guaranteed by certain affiliates. The company also
owes an aggregate principal amount of about $326 million to
holders of subordinated notes. By accepting the prepackaged plan,
senior lenders will trade their existing claims and guarantees for
a pro rata share of the new secured term loan, in a smaller
principal amount but with more collateral and a more financially
sound borrower, as well as ownership of a majority of the new
equity of the reorganized company, subject to a gradual dilution
as a result of grants of restricted stock.  Subordinated note
holders will receive warrants for future equity.  All existing
equity interests in Affiliated Media will be cancelled.

In contrast with most filings, where creditors may oppose the
proposed plan for re-organization, a prepackaged filing means that
affected creditors have already seen and accepted the plan prior
to the time it is filed, so that it can proceed with little debate
or negotiation, and can swiftly win approval from the court.

The newspaper industry is undergoing a major transformation,
exacerbated by the current recession, which is causing falling
advertising, a slumping retail market and significant drops in
classified advertising. About 80 percent of the company's revenues
are generated by advertising sales, and those sales will likely
continue to be affected by the economic downturn. In recent years,
the company has undertaken a number of strategic initiatives to
improve operating cash flow and to reduce costs. But it became
clear yesterday's balance sheet couldn't be sustained by today's
business environment.

Even as the newspaper environment has badly deteriorated over the
past three years, MediaNews newspapers have performed better than
the industry as a whole.  Circulation of the company's newspapers
grew for the September Audit Bureau of Circulations 6-month
reporting period, while industry circulation dropped 10.6 percent.
The growth included gains by the Denver Post after its primary
competitor ceased publication.  Excluding the Denver gain, the
company's circulation dropped 4.8%, still well below the
industry's 10.6% decline.

And the company's innovative advertising sales initiatives have
resulted in advertising declines lower than the industry as a
whole. December quarter advertising results have shown
substantially smaller declines than were experienced in the first
nine months of the year.

All but one of the company's newspapers are profitable.

"This reorganization does not come without pain," Mr. Singleton
said. "Current shareholders will be losing the value of their
holdings. But we believe that adopting this plan will give us a
far better platform from which to develop, grow and participate in
the consolidation and re-invention of the newspaper industry."

                           *     *     *

Affiliated Media has not indicated the actual date it would file
for bankruptcy.  The Huffington Post says the reorganization plan
was expected to be filed in federal bankruptcy court in Delaware.
It would be at least the 13th bankruptcy filing by a U.S.
newspaper publisher in the past 13 months, Post relates.

The Hearst Corp. and the Scudder family are giving up interests in
MediaNews, according to Huffington Post, citing a person who had
knowledge of the plan but spoke on condition of anonymity because
he did not want discuss the plan publicly.  A spokesman for Hearst
declined to comment Friday, according to Huffington Post.

Sources told The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector and Shira
Ovide report that  Hearst has at least $400 million in equity and
debt tied to MediaNews, and the investment will be wiped out by
the bankruptcy filing.  "We have worked side-by-side with Hearst
on this," Mr. Singleton said, the Journal notes.

The Journal also relates people in the newspaper industry have
pointed to MediaNews's paper in St. Paul and the Star Tribune in
Minneapolis as potential candidates for a combination, as well as
to adjacent papers in Southern California published by MediaNews,
Tribune Co. and Freedom Communications Inc.  There are potential
regulatory hurdles to some newspaper combinations.  Asked which
newspapers or groups of newspapers might be combined, according to
the Journal, Mr. Singleton answered: "You can look at the map."


AFFINITY GROUP: Lenders Extend Interest Payment Date
----------------------------------------------------
Affinity Group Holding, Inc., on September 14, 2009, received
consent letters from certain institutional holders of its 10-7/8%
Senior Notes Due 2012 holding in the aggregate $65,835,969
principal amount of the AGHI Notes outstanding and consent letters
from certain non-institutional holders of the AGHI Notes holding
in the aggregate $46,555,946 principal amount of the AGHI Notes
outstanding.  The aggregate principal amount of the AGHI Notes
outstanding is $113,648,603 so the holders executing the Consents
held 98.9% of the outstanding principal amount of the AGHI Notes.
On September 14, 2009, the Company paid the interest on the
remaining $1,256,688 principal amount of AGHI Notes that are
outstanding and for which an Institutional Consent or an Other
Consent was not obtained.

The Company has engaged in discussions with the holders of the
AGHI Notes regarding a refinancing or restructuring of the
indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiary, Affinity Group,
Inc.  As part of those discussions, the Company did not pay the
interest on the AGHI Notes that was due on August 15, 2009, but
the indenture governing the AGHI Notes provides a 30 day grace
period for the payment of interest that was to have been paid on
that date.  Pursuant to the Institutional Consents, the Company
has agreed to pay the legal fees for a law firm to represent the
holders who signed the Institutional Consents in connection with
such discussions and has paid a $150,000 retainer to that law
firm.  In addition, the Company has paid a consent fee equal to
1/4 of 1% of the principal amount to the holders who signed the
Institutional Consents or an aggregate of $164,600.  As of
January 12, 2010, the holders who signed the Institutional
Consents have agreed to extend the interest payment date on their
AGHI Notes to January 15, 2010.  As of October 28, 2009, the
holders who signed the Other Consents have agreed to extend the
interest payment date on their AGHI Notes to the date that is five
business days after the date of termination of the Institutional
Consents, including any additional extensions of the Institutional
Consents.

ARCLIN US: Completes Financial Restructuring
--------------------------------------------
Arclin has successfully completed its financial restructuring and
emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code and the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in
Canada.

Claudio D'Ambrosio, Arclin's President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "Today marks the successful completion of our
financial restructuring and the start of a new chapter for our
company.  We are pleased to emerge from this process with one of
the strongest balance sheets in our industry and enhanced
financial flexibility, better positioned than ever to provide our
customers with the product quality, innovation and service they
have come to expect from Arclin.  We sincerely appreciate the
support of our employees, customers, suppliers and other
stakeholders throughout this process and we are excited to move
forward as a financially stronger company."

Arclin has met all closing conditions of its Plan of
Reorganization and Plan of Arrangement.  As previously announced,
Arclin's Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on December 8, 2009,
and Arclin's Plan of Arrangement was approved by the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice on December 11, 2009.

Arclin's funded indebtedness has been reduced from US$234 million
to US$60 million.  Affiliates of Black Diamond Capital Management,
L.L.C. and Silver Point Capital, L.P., the Company's lenders, have
exchanged debt for equity and are now majority owners of the
Company.  Additionally, the Company has obtained a revolving line
of credit facility for US$25 million with Bank of America.

Arclin will continue to further enhance its position as an
innovative supplier and its commitment to environmental
stewardship.

Mr. D'Ambrosio added, "Our commitment to exceeding our customers'
needs with innovative and sustainable solutions has never been
stronger.  In parallel with the financial restructuring process,
we have made important operational enhancements.  In particular,
we have brought our two remaining overlays facilities under our
FSC Chain of Custody certification, making the majority of
Arclin's industrial and decorative overlay products Chain of
Custody certified to a variety of industries.  We have also
introduced E-Natural(TM) and E-Sorb(TM), low/zero emitting wood
panel binding systems that will give our customers the ability to
target specific green markets and provide architects and design
specifiers the ability to control emissions for a given project.
We believe these strategic product developments, coupled with our
strong balance sheet, position Arclin well for 2010 and beyond."

AUDATEX HOLDINGS: Moody's Upgrades Corp. Family Rating to 'Ba2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the Corporate Family Rating,
Probability of Default Rating and secured credit facility rating
of Audatex Holdings, LLC, to Ba2 from Ba3.  The rating outlook
remains positive.

"The upgrade reflects improved credit metrics driven by solid
organic revenue and profit growth in the EMEA and Americas
segments.  The company's business model has proved resilient
during the global economic downturn and the company has
significant growth potential in Europe and in developing markets"
stated Lenny Ajzenman, Senior Vice President.

The positive rating outlook anticipates further improvements in
credit metrics over the next 12 to 18 months driven by moderate
organic revenue and profit growth.  The company's performance
should continue to benefit from the roll out of additional
software and services to existing customers, the expansion of
automated claims penetration and insured claims growth,
particularly in developing markets.

The ratings are principally constrained by a relatively small
revenue base for the rating category, dependence on a group of
large property and casualty insurance carriers for a significant
portion of revenues and concentration of revenues in estimation
and workflow software products which are subject to technology
risks.

Moody's upgraded these ratings:

Audatex Holdings, LLC:

* Corporate Family Rating, to Ba2 from Ba3
* Probability of Default Rating, to Ba2 from Ba3

Audatex Holdings IV B.V. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Audatex and a holding company for operating subsidiaries outside
of North America):

* $25 million First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2012, to
  Ba2 (LGD 3, 46%) from Ba3 (LGD 3, 46%)

* $376.1 million First Lien Term Loan due 2014, to Ba2 (LGD 3,
  46%) from Ba3 (LGD 3, 46%)

Audatex North America, Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Audatex and a holding company for the North American operating
subsidiaries):

* $25 million First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2012, Ba2
  (LGD 3, 46%) from Ba3 (LGD 3, 46%)

* $215.9 million First Lien Term Loan due 2014, (LGD 3, 46%) from
  Ba3 (LGD 3, 46%)

The last rating action on Audatex was on February 12, 2009 when
Moody's affirmed the Ba3 Corporate Family Rating and changed the
rating outlook to positive from stable.

Audatex, headquartered in San Diego, California, is a leading
global provider of software and services to the automobile
insurance claims processing industry.  The company reported
revenues of $565 million for the twelve month period ended
September 30, 2009.


BARNES BANKING: Closed by Regulators; FDIC Creates DINB
-------------------------------------------------------
Barnes Banking Company, Kaysville, Utah, was closed January 15 by
the Utah Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.  To
protect the depositors, the FDIC created the Deposit Insurance
National Bank of Kaysville (DINB), which will remain open until
February 12, 2010 to allow depositors access to their insured
deposits and time to open accounts at other insured institutions.

At the time of closing, the receiver immediately transferred to
the DINB all insured deposits of Barnes Banking Company, except
for brokered deposits, certificates of deposits (CDs) and
individual retirement accounts (IRAs). The receiver also
transferred to the DINB all secured deposits by public entities.

The FDIC will mail checks directly to customers with CDs and IRAs.
For the brokered deposit customers, the FDIC will pay the brokers
directly for the amount of their insured funds. Customers with
brokered deposits should contact their brokers directly for
information concerning their money.

The DINB will maintain Barnes Banking Company's normal business
hours thereafter. Zions First National Bank, Salt Lake City, Utah,
will provide operational management of the DINB. Banking
activities, such as direct deposit and writing checks, ATM and
debit cards, can continue normally for former customers of Barnes
Banking Company until February 12, 2010. Barnes Banking Company
official checks will continue to clear and will be issued to
customers closing accounts.

All insured depositors of Barnes Banking Company are encouraged to
transfer their insured funds to other banks during this
transitional period. They may do so by asking their new bank to
electronically transfer their deposits from the DINB or by writing
checks for the amount in their accounts. For depositors who have
not closed or transferred their accounts on or before February 12,
2010, the FDIC will mail checks to the address of record for the
amount of the insured funds.

Under the FDI Act, the FDIC may create a deposit insurance
national bank to ensure that depositors have continued access to
their insured funds where no other bank has agreed to assume the
insured deposits. This arrangement allows for uninterrupted direct
deposits and automated payments from customers' accounts and
allows them time to find another institution with which to do
business.

As of September 30, 2009, Barnes Banking Company had
$827.8 million in total assets and $786.5 million in total
deposits. At the time of closing, the amount of deposits exceeding
the insurance limits were undetermined.  Uninsured deposits were
not transferred to the DINB. The amount of uninsured deposits will
be determined once the FDIC obtains additional from those
customers.

Customers with accounts in excess of $250,000 should contact the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-528-4893 to set up an appointment to
discuss their deposits. This phone number will be operational this
evening until 9 p.m., Mountain Standard Time (MST); on Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., MST; on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., MST;
and thereafter from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., MST. Customers who would
like more information on the transaction should visit the FDIC's
Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/barnes.html

Beginning Monday, depositors of Barnes Banking Company with more
than $250,000 at the bank may visit the FDIC's Web page "Is My
Account Fully Insured?" at http://www2.fdic.gov/dip/Index.aspto
determine their insurance coverage.

The FDIC as receiver will retain all the assets from Barnes
Banking Company for later disposition. Loan customers should
continue to make their payments as usual.

The cost to the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund is estimated to be
$271.3 million. Barnes Banking Company is the fourth bank to fail
this year and the first in Utah. The last FDIC-insured institution
closed in the state was America West Bank, Layton, on May 1, 2009.


BERNARD KOSAR: Faces $2 Mil. Foreclosure Suit from Ocean Bank
-------------------------------------------------------------
Business First of Columbus reports that Ocean Bank filed a
$2 million foreclosure suit in Broward County Circuit Court in
Florida against Bernie Kosar Jr.  The bank wants to seize
Mr. Kosar's 9,901 square-foot house.

Bernard J. Kosar, Jr., is a former Cleveland Browns and University
of Miami quarterback.  He lives in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of
Weston.  Mr. Kosar filed for Chapter 11 on June 19, 2009 (Bankr.
S.D. Fla. Case No. 09-22371).  Julianne R. Frank, Esq., represents
Mr. Kosar.  Mr. Kosar listed assets listed $9.2 million in assets
and $18.9 million in debt.

In January 2010, the Hon. Raymond B. Ray of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Florida (i) converted the Chapter 11 case of Bernard
Kosar to a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding and (ii) appointed
Robert C. Furr, as trustee to sell and distribute the proceeds to
creditors.


BERNIE'S AUDIO: Liquidating Assets Under Chapter 11
---------------------------------------------------
Bernie's Audio Video TV Appliance Co. filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Hartford, Connecticut
(Bankr. D. Conn. Case No. 10-20087).

The Company blames the "challenging retail environment" for its
decision to liquidate under Chapter 11.

After more than 60 years, the family-owned business has requested
permission from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Connecticut to conduct a going out of business sale.

Bernie's operates electronic appliance stores.  The Company is
closing all 15 stores.  The Company listed assets and debts of
between $10 million and $50 million in its petition.

According to Bloomberg News, Bernie's has an agency agreement with
the liquidator, Hilco Merchant Resources LLC.  Hilco is
guaranteeing a recovery of 80.3% of the cost of the merchandise,
based on estimated total cost between $13.2 million and $15.2
million.  Hilco also will pay the expense of the sale.

Hilco Merchant Resources will manage all remaining sales at its 15
store locations in Connecticut (9 stores), Massachusetts (5
stores) and Rhode Island (1 store) effective as of January 15,
2010.  A hearing to approve the going out of business sale is
scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Every item, every brand, in every store will be on sale with no
exclusions or exceptions.  Discounts of up to 50% off original
price will be found storewide.  Consumers who shop can save on
famous brand HD and LCD TVs, Blu-Ray and DVD players, i-Pods and
MP3 players, digital cameras, washers, dryers, refrigerators and
other home appliances, furniture, mattresses and other home
furnishings.  Manufacturers' warrantees are in full effect.

Michael Keefe, President of Hilco Merchant Resources, stated,
"This is an outstanding opportunity for consumers in the region to
save on a broad selection of brand names in home entertainment
equipment, major appliances and more. Shoppers will find these
stores very well stocked.  Savings on every item plus a great
selection will make for a very short sale.  Consumers should not
miss this exceptional opportunity for savings at a time when value
is so important to so many people."

                           *     *     *

According to THEDAY.COM, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved
Bernie's application to close its 15 stores in Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island and begin liquidating its inventory
as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. About 350 people are
expected to lose their jobs, THEDAY said.

BLACK CROW: GE Capital Wants Dismissal of Chapter 11 Case
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that General Electric
Capital Corp. is asking the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the
Chapter 11 case of Black Crow Media Group LLC.  GECC filed the
motion a day after Black Crow filed its bankruptcy petition on
January 12.

According to the report, GECC said that the filing was not made in
good faith, noting that it came two days before a scheduled
hearing in U.S. District Court for the appointment of a receiver
because of Black Crow's default on $38.9 million in term loans and
a revolving credit.  The bankruptcy filing automatically stayed
the suit seeking appointment of a receiver.

Black Crow Media Group owns and operates 17 FM and 5 AM radio
stations in Daytona Beach, Live Oak, Valdosta, Huntsville,
Alabama, and Jackson, Tennessee.  Black Crow, along with
affiliates, filed for Chapter 11 on Jan. 12, 2010 (Bankr. M.D.
Fla. Case No. 10-00172).  Attorneys at Latham Shuker Eden &
Beaudine LLP represent the Debtors in their Chapter 11 effort.
Black Crow disclosed assets of $10 million to $50 million and
debts of $50 million to $100 million in its petition.

CANWEST GLOBAL: LP Entities Have C$645 Million in Assets
--------------------------------------------------------
Canwest Global Communications Corp. announced on January 8, 2010,
that its subsidiary, Canwest Limited Partnership/Canwest Societe
en Commandite and certain of its subsidiaries -- the LP Entities
-- have entered into an agreement with certain senior secured
lenders to support a pre-packed financial restructuring plan.

To advance the proposed financial restructuring transaction,
Canwest's Board of Directors has authorized the LP Entities to
voluntarily file for creditor protection under the Companies'
Creditors Arrangement Act in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice (Commercial Division).

The CCAA filing applies to Canwest Publishing Inc./Publications
Canwest Inc., Canwest Books Inc. (inactive), Canwest (Canada)
Inc., and the Limited Partnership and includes all of Canwest's
newspaper publishing and associated digital media, online and
mobile operations, with the exception of National Post Inc. and
its associated properties.

The Company and the LP Entities believe that this is the best
course of action because it will address the LP Entities' current
debt level, preserve jobs and protect newspaper publishing brands
that Canadians have come to know and trust over the past 100
years.  Creditor protection will enable an orderly financial
restructuring of the LP Entities and ensure they continue as a
stronger, integrated newspaper and digital media publishing
business with a renewed financial outlook.

The proposed financial restructuring transaction is supported by
members of the senior secured lending syndicate representing over
48% in principal amount of the Limited Partnership's senior
secured obligations and represents the culmination of lengthy
arm's length discussions between the LP Entities and their senior
secured lenders.  The LP Entities and the senior secured lenders
have entered into a Support Agreement and have negotiated an
Acquisition and Assumption Agreement (the "AA Agreement")
together with a Plan of Compromise and Arrangement in respect of
the senior secured lenders' claims (a "Plan") which have been
filed with the Court.  In addition, the LP Entities have engaged
RBC Capital Markets to conduct a comprehensive sale and investor
solicitation process (the "Sale and Investor Process") within the
restructuring proceeding to canvass the market for superior
offers for the business than the one put forth by the AA
Agreement.

The Company believes that the Support Agreement, the proposed
Acquisition and Assumption Agreement and conducting the Sale and
Investor Solicitation Process under Court supervision represent
the best alternative for the long-term interests of the LP
Entities, its approximately 5,300 employees, suppliers, customers
and other stakeholders.  Protection under the CCAA will provide
the LP Entities with the time and stability needed to implement a
controlled financial restructuring of their businesses, and to
complete the Sale and Investor Solicitation Process while day-to-
day business operations continue uninterrupted.

The LP Entities' operations will continue uninterrupted during
the financial restructuring with operating cash flow sufficient
to fund ongoing operations.  In addition, the LP Entities have
arranged debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing of up to C$25
million from certain members of the senior secured lenders.  The
LP Entities cash flow from operations together with the DIP
facility will enable its business units to meet obligations to
current employees and suppliers of post-filing goods and
services.

The Support Agreement, which includes the Plan and the AA
Agreement, must be approved by a majority in number of the senior
secured lenders and two-thirds in amount of their claims.  Senior
secured lenders representing 48% of the amount of senior secured
claims have signed a support agreement in which they have agreed
to vote in favor of the Plan which includes any superior cash
offer received in connection with the Sale and Investor Process.
The support of the senior secured lenders for the proposed
financial restructuring transaction and implementation of the
plan is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions and
the Support Agreement may be terminated in certain events.

Under the proposed AA Agreement, a new company incorporated by
the senior secured lenders ("Acquireco") would acquire
substantially all of the LP Entities' assets and assume certain
of their operating liabilities.  The AA Agreement contemplates,
subject to certain exceptions, the transfer of substantially all
of the LP Entities' current employees, existing pension plans and
existing post-retirement and post-employment benefit plans to
Acquireco.  Subject to senior secured lender and Court approval
and any superior offer emerging from the Sale and Investor
Process, the senior secured debt will be transferred to
"Acquireco" in exchange for debt and equity in Acquireco.  On
completion of the transaction, the senior secured debt (less a
discount of $25 million) will be deemed to have satisfied and the
$25 million discount will continue to constitute an outstanding
unsecured claim of Acquireco against the LP Entities.

CW Media Inc.'s industry leading specialty channels are not under
creditor protection.  Similarly, TVtropolis, MysteryTV or MenTV
are also not affected by this ruling as they are not under
creditor protection.  Other business units, including Canwest
Global Communications Corp., Canwest Media Inc., Canwest
Television Limited Partnership (including Global Television
Network, MovieTime, DejaView and Fox Sports World), remain under
separate CCAA creditor protection granted by the Court on October
6, 2009.

The LP Entities and their advisors will continue their
discussions with a number of key stakeholders and third parties
as they implement the restructuring and the Sale and Investor
Solicitation Process.

        Background and Description of LP Entities

Canwest Global Communications Corp., through its ownership of LP
Entities, and its other subsidiaries which are not applicants in
the CCAA Proceedings, is Canada's largest publisher of English-
language daily and non-daily newspapers and owns and operates
substantial digital media and online businesses.

Canwest also directly or indirectly owns, operates or holds
substantial interests in free-to-air television stations,
subscription-based specialty television channels, and Web sites
in Canada.

Papers filed in the Canadian court note that Canwest Limited
Partnership has been included in the CCAA Application because it
performs an integral role in the Applicants' ongoing operations
and is the administrative backbone of the LP Entities.

The filings note that starting in the second half of 2008, the LP
Entities began to experience declines in advertising revenues
which had a negative impact on their cash flows, resulting in the
LP Entities breaching certain covenants, missing certain
principal and interest payments, and defaulting under their
various credit facilities in May 2009.  As a result of these
events of default, amounts under the LP Entities' various credit
facilities became immediately due and payable which has led the
LP Entities to conclude that a restructuring of their balance
sheets is required and must be pursued in order to preserve the
enterprise values of their businesses.

Following extensive negotiations, on August 31, 2009, the LP
Entities and the LP Administrative Agent entered into a
Forbearance Agreement under which the LP Administrative Agent
agreed to forbear from enforcing the LP Secured Lenders' security
in order to allow the LP Entities and the LP Secured Lenders the
opportunity to negotiate a pre-packaged restructuring or
reorganization of the business and affairs of the LP Entities.

The Forbearance Agreement expressly contemplated that the LP
Entities and the LP Secured Lenders would negotiate the terms of
a pre-packaged credit acquisition, restructuring or
recapitalization to be implemented under CCAA protection.

The LP Entities and the LP Administrative Agent have negotiated a
pre-arranged support transaction pursuant to which an entity to
be initially capitalized as described in the Acquireco
Capitalization Term Sheet will acquire substantially all of the
assets of the LP Entities, assume the liabilities of the LP
Entities and offer employment to all or substantially all of the
employees of the LP Entities on terms and conditions consistent
with their current employment.

The advisor to the LP Entities will conduct a sale and investor
solicitation, the SISP, in an effort to attract an alternative
offer to the one contained in the Acquisition Agreement.

The LP Entities are seeking a stay of proceedings under the CCAA
in order to allow them to implement the Support Transaction and
allow their financial advisor to conduct the SISP in order to
restructure and reorganize their businesses and preserve their
enterprise values.

              LP Entities' Assets and Liabilities

As of August 31, 2009, the LP Entities had total consolidated
assets with a net book value of C$645 million (C$183 million in
current assets, C$462 million in non-current assets), total
consolidated liabilities of approximately C$1.7 billion (C$1.6
billion in current liabilities and C$106 million in non-current
liabilities), and a total consolidated partners' deficiency of
approximately $1.1 billion.

In Fiscal Year 2009, the LP Entities reported consolidated
revenue of $1.02 billion and a consolidated net loss of
approximately $66 million.

In Fiscal Year 2009, the LP Entities suffered a consolidated net
loss of $66 million as compared to consolidated net earnings of
$143.5 million in Fiscal Year 2008.

The LP Entities' management expects weak economic conditions to
continue through the fiscal year ending August 31, 2010.

                   LP Entities' Debt Structure

As of August 31, 2009, the LP Entities reported consolidated
indebtedness of approximately C$1.4 billion pursuant to these
credit facilities:

(a) the LP Credit Agreement - C$883 million
(b) the LP Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement - C$75 million
(c) the LP Senior Subordinated Notes - C$438 million

In addition, the LP Entities have Swap Obligations outstanding in
the amount of approximately C$68.9 million.

The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent for a syndicate
of lenders have agreed to provide the Limited Partnership these
credit facilities in the aggregate maximum amount of C$1.017
billion, at foreign currency exchange rates in effect at the LP
Entities' latest fiscal year end,:

  (a) a revolving credit facility of up to C$250 million,
      balance drawn of C$116 million as of May 2009;

  (b) a non-revolving term credit facility in the amount of
      C$265 million; and

  (c) a non-revolving term credit facility in the amount of
      US$458.

The LP Subordinated Lenders have also agreed to provide the
Limited Partnership with access to a term credit facility of up
to C$75 million.

Moreover, the Limited Partnership issued 9.25% per annum senior
subordinated unsecured notes due 2015 in the aggregate principal
amount of US$400 million.

               LP Entities' Cash Flow Projections

The LP Entities, with the assistance of the FTI Consulting Canada
Inc., the Monitor, have prepared consolidated 13-week cash flow
projections of their receipts, disbursements and financing
requirements.  The Cash Flow Projections, estimate that for the
period from January 4, 2010 to April 4, 2010, the LP Entities
will have total operating receipts of $284.7 million, total
operating disbursements of $255.2 million, funding requirements
for its subsidiary, National Post Inc. (not an Applicant in the

CARIS DIAGNOSTICS: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Rating on Proposed Loans
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 (LGD3, 31%) rating to
Caris Diagnostics, Inc.'s proposed credit facilities, consisting
of a $30 million revolver and a $185 million term loan.  Moody's
also assigned a B2 Corporate Family Rating and a B3 Probability of
Default Rating to the company.  The outlook for the ratings is
stable.  This is the first time Moody's has assigned ratings to
Caris.

Moody's understands that the proceeds of the loans will be used to
refinance existing debt, pre-fund certain capital expenditures,
fulfill the last earn-out payment related to a previous
acquisition, fund a dividend to the parent holding company and pay
fees and expenses associated with the transaction.

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects the increased debt levels
and the related interest burden following the transaction to
levels considered appropriate for the single B rating category.
The rating also reflects Moody's expectation of continued growth
as the company builds on its position as a leader in the still
fragmented market for anatomic pathology services.  Continued
growth in both profitability and free cash flow are expected to
allow for reduction in financial leverage.  However, the ratings
also reflect the relatively small scale of the company,
characterized by a revenue base that is considerably below the
median for the rating category and a fairly modest amount of
absolute free cash flow.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectations that the
company can effectively implement its planned facility expansions,
funded in part by the proceeds of the proposed financing; continue
to successfully manage its rapid growth in its existing business
lines; and maintain a measured approach to entry into new service
lines.  However, given the company's growth rate to date, Moody's
acknowledges the potential for rapid improvement in financial
metrics if prospective targets are met, which could result in
positive rating pressure.

These ratings have been assigned:

* $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2014,
  B2 (LGD3, 31%)

* $185 million senior secured term loan due 2016, B2 (LGD3, 31%)

* Corporate Family Rating, B2

* Probability of Default Rating, B3

Caris, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a privately owned
provider of anatomic pathology laboratory services, with a focus
on gastrointestinal pathology, dermatopatholgy and
hematopathology.  The company offers testing and information
services used by physicians in the detection, diagnosis,
evaluation and treatment of cancer and other medical conditions.
The company recognized approximately $157 million of revenue for
the twelve months ended September 30, 2009.


CARIS DIAGNOSTICS: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Irving, Texas-based Caris Diagnostics Inc.  At
the same time, S&P assigned a 'B+' issue-level rating (the same as
the corporate credit rating) to Caris Diagnostics Inc.'s proposed
$185 million senior secured term loan maturing in 2016 and
$30 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2014.  The
recovery rating on these credit facilities is '3', indicating
S&P's expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the
event of payment default.  The rating outlook is stable.

The speculative-grade ratings reflect Caris' narrow operating
focus, early-stage status, relatively small scale, potential for
reimbursement pressure, and the near-term risks associated with
its large expansion projects.

Caris' weak business risk profile overwhelmingly reflects the
company's narrow operating focus and relatively small scale.
Notwithstanding Caris' solid niche position as a diagnostic
services provider to the gastroenterology and dermatopathology
markets (with a small presence in hematopathology), the company is
much smaller and its offerings are much less diverse than those of
competitors like Quest Diagnostics Inc. (BBB+/Stable/--) and
Laboratory Corp.  of America Holdings (BBB+/Stable/--).  In
addition, Caris must compete in its highly fragmented markets with
many smaller providers.  Caris has posted a relatively short track
record of competing effectively with larger competitors through
its expertise in its subsectors, relationships with referring
physicians, and recruitment and retention of pathologists.  Caris'
organic revenue growth has averaged more than 40% over the past
five years on a pro forma basis.  S&P believes that it will be
very difficult for Caris to maintain this growth rate given its
now larger revenue base and the potential for reimbursement
pressures.

Despite Caris' weak business risk, there are some positive aspects
to the company and industry.  Caris' EBITDA margins are roughly
30%, while its larger competitors are in the low to mid-20% area.
Caris is able to command higher margins in an industry that
generally favors economies of scale because of its strong
relationships with referring physicians and the negotiating
leverage with commercial payors that these relationships create.
In fact, Caris maintains high reimbursement from its largest
commercial payors by remaining an out-of-network provider, and its
volumes continue to grow despite its out-of-network status.  In
addition, Caris should benefit from the generally favorable trends
in the diagnostic services, such as the trend toward outsourcing
and the potential for increased volumes through government health
care reform for the uninsured.


CEDAR FAIR: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Rating on $1.25 Bil. Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a (P)Ba3 rating to Cedar Fair,
L.P.'s proposed $1.25 billion senior secured credit facility due
2014 and a (P)B3 rating to Siddur Merger Sub, LLC's proposed
$700 million senior unsecured notes due 2018.  Moody's is also
assigning Cedar Fair a (P)B1 CFR and (P)B1 Probability of Default
Rating to provide an indication of the rating levels during the
marketing of the proposed debt instruments.  The ratings are
prospective and based on Moody's expectation that Cedar Fair's
Corporate Family Rating will be B1 following the completion of the
$2.4 billion acquisition of the company by Apollo Global
Management announced on December 16, 2009.  Proceeds from the debt
offerings along with a contribution from Apollo will be used to
fund the acquisition, refinancing of existing debt, and related
fees.  Merger Sub is an acquisition vehicle that will be merged
into Cedar Fair to complete the acquisition with Cedar Fair
continuing as the survivor and note issuer post closing.

Assignments:

Issuer: Cedar Fair, L.P.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned (P)B1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned (P)B1

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned a (P)Ba3, LGD3
     - 31%

Issuer: Siddur Merger Sub, LLC

  -- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned a (P)B3,
     LGD5 - 85%

Confirmations:

Issuer: Cedar Fair, L.P.  (Old)

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Confirmed at B1

Cedar Fair's existing Ba3 CFR remains on review for possible
downgrade.  Moody's expects to conclude the review and lower the
CFR to B1 from Ba3 once the acquisition by Apollo is completed.
The downgrade reflects the modestly higher leverage that will
result from the acquisition and Moody's opinion that exposure to
event risk and more aggressive financial policies will be higher
under sponsor ownership.  The proposed financing will favorably
push out maturities and reset the financial maintenance covenants
to provide additional cushion.  However, these actions will
meaningfully improve Cedar Fair's liquidity profile, which Moody's
expects will support a stable rating outlook at the B1 CFR level
as well as an upgrade of the speculative-grade liquidity rating to
SGL-2 from SGL-3 once the transactions are completed.  Moody's
confirmed the B1 Probability of Default Rating as the rating will
remain unchanged following the completion of the acquisition.

Cedar Fair's (P)B1 CFR reflects the good operating cash flow and
strong EBITDA margins generated from the portfolio of regional
amusement parks, supported by an experienced management team,
entertainment value of the rides and attractions, and high entry
barriers.  The parks deliver good entertainment value that drives
substantial attendance.  These strengths are tempered by exposure
to cyclical discretionary consumer spending, competition with a
wide variety of other leisure and entertainment activities, the
high debt-to-EBITDA leverage (5.4x LTM 9/30/09 pro forma for the
transaction and incorporating Moody's standard adjustments)
resulting from the acquisition and risks related to the future use
of cash flow and leveraging actions by the equity sponsor.  The
rating also incorporates Cedar Fair's good prospective liquidity
profile supported by Moody's estimate of approximately $80 million
of projected 2010 free cash flow, modest required term loan
amortization, and good anticipated cushion under financial
maintenance covenants.

The credit facilities will consist of a $1 billion term loan and a
$250 million revolver and will be secured by substantially all the
assets of the borrower and current and future domestic
subsidiaries.  Moody's does not expect the ratings will be
affected if Cedar Fair allocates a portion of the term loan and
the revolver to a Canadian borrower (as is the case with the
existing credit facility) because the U.S. and Canadian credit
facilities are expected to be cross-guaranteed and cross-
collateralized by all of the operating entities of the company.
Cedar Fair may establish the new credit facility through an
amendment and restatement of the existing facility.  Moody's would
view the existing facility as being effectively retired and,
accordingly, expects to withdraw the Ba3 rating on the existing
facilities if the proposed financing is completed.  The B3 rating
on the senior unsecured notes reflects the effective subordination
to the secured credit facility.  The notes will have senior
unsecured guarantees from Cedar Fair's domestic operating
subsidiaries.

The prospective ratings are based on Moody's expectation that the
existing management team will remain in tact and on a review of
the acquisition financing plan, priority of claim of the proposed
instruments, and summary term sheets for the credit facility and
senior unsecured notes that have important elements -- such as
detailed covenants -- remaining to be negotiated.  Apollo's
acquisition is subject to a satisfaction of a number of
contingencies including Cedar Fair obtaining the approval of two-
thirds of its unit holders, the absence of any successful
competing acquisition bids, and successful placement of the
proposed debt.  The conclusion of the review for downgrade and
assignment of definitive ratings is subject to completion of the
acquisition, a review of the final amounts, terms and conditions
of the debt instruments, and an evaluation of the company's
liquidity position including headroom under financial maintenance
covenants.

Moody's last rating on Cedar Fair was on December 17, 2009, when
the Ba3 CFR and B1 PDR were placed on review for possible
downgrade following the announcement of the definitive agreement
to be acquired by Apollo.

Cedar Fair's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors Moody's
believe are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as
i) the business risk and competitive position of the company
versus others within its industry, ii) the capital structure and
financial risk of the company, iii) the projected performance of
the company over the near to intermediate term, and iv)
management's track record and tolerance for risk.  These
attributes were compared against other issuers both within and
outside of Cedar Fair's core industry and Cedar Fair's ratings are
believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of similar
credit risk.

Cedar Fair, headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio, is a publicly traded
Delaware master limited partnership (MLP) formed in 1987 that owns
and operates 11 amusement parks, seven water parks (six outdoor
and one indoor) and hotels in North America.  Properties are
located in the U.S. and Canada and include Cedar Point (OH),
Knott's Berry Farm (CA), and Canada's Wonderland (Toronto).  In
June 2006, Cedar Fair, L.P., completed the acquisition of
Paramount Parks, Inc. from a subsidiary of CBS Corporation for a
purchase price of 1.24 billion.  Cedar Fair's LTM 9/27/09 revenue
was approximately $930 million.


CEDAR FAIR: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating on $1.25 Bil. Senior Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its issue-level and
recovery ratings to Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Fair L.P.'s amended
and restated $1.25 billion senior secured credit facilities,
consisting of $1 billion in term loan facilities due 2014 and a
$250 million revolving credit facility due 2014.  S&P assigned the
loans an issue-level rating of 'BB' (two notches higher than the
'B+' corporate credit rating on the company), with a recovery
rating of '1', indicating S&P's expectation of very high (90% to
100%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

In addition, S&P affirmed its 'B+' corporate credit rating on
Cedar Fair and removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it was
placed with negative implications Dec. 17, 2009, following the
announcement that the company entered into a definitive agreement
to be acquired by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management.  The
rating outlook is stable.

The 'BB-' issue-level ratings on the company's existing senior
secured credit facilities remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  These ratings will be withdrawn upon completion of
the transaction.  If the company does not complete the
transaction, S&P could lower these ratings to reflect the existing
all-secured debt capital structure and what S&P believes would be
a reduction in enterprise value at the time of a hypothetical
simulated default.

The transaction extends debt maturities and resets financial
covenants, which had been tight, while only modestly negatively
affecting credit measures.  The capital structure contemplates the
issuance of $700 million of senior unsecured debt that will be
marketed prior to the close of the transaction.

Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Fair is the second-largest regional
amusement park concern in the U.S. in attendance.  Pro forma total
debt was $1.7 billion as of Sept. 27, 2009.

"The rating on Cedar Fair reflects cyclically lower profitability,
seasonality risks, some EBITDA concentration in Ohio and Michigan,
a weak near-term operating outlook, and increasing debt leverage,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Hal Diamond.  "The company's
competitive position and its operating track record are modest
positives that do not offset these risks."

Pro forma debt to EBITDA increases to 5.4x for the 12 months ended
Sept. 27, 2009, versus the actual level of 5.0x, largely due to
debt incurred to terminate an interest rate swap liability.  Pro
forma EBITDA coverage of interest expense decreases to 2.4x from
2.6x over the same period.

Conversion of EBITDA to discretionary cash flow for the 12 months
ended Sept. 27, 2009 increased to 15.5% from 10.3%, because of
reduced capital spending and a 48% reduction in distribution
payouts beginning in the second quarter of 2009.  S&P expects
conversion to improve in 2010, notwithstanding higher capital
spending and the increase in interest expense due to the
elimination of the substantial dividend and lower taxes.


CHARTER COMMS: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off in Secondary Market

CHEMTURA CORP: Reaches Settlement with BP Energy
------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corp. and its units previously asked the Court for
authority to reject a certain base contract for sale and purchase
of natural gas between Debtor Great Lakes Chemical Corporation and
BP Energy Company, which was subsequently assigned to Chemtura
Corporation.

After the Petition Date, Chemtura provided BP Energy with a
$1,200,000 cash payment as a postpetition security deposit.

Prior to and subsequent to the Petition Date, Chemtura purchased
from BP Energy more natural gas than it used pursuant to the
Contract, which left Chemtura with prepetition and postpetition
credits due and owing from BP Energy, totaling $689,364.

The Parties subsequently held extensive negotiations and
accordingly, in a Court-approved stipulation, agreed that:

  -- The Natural Gas Contract will be deemed rejected effective
     as of June 2, 2009;

  -- BP Energy will return any remaining postpetition collateral
     not previously returned to Chemtura, plus interest at the
     rate of LIBOR 75 basis points from the date the amount was
     posted with BP Energy to the date it is returned to
     Chemtura;

  -- BP Energy will return to Chemtura the Payment Credits
     totaling $15,000 and, to the extent not already returned to
     Chemtura, any additional Payment Credits other than credits
     amounting to $368,880;

  -- Upon receipt of the Payments by Chemtura, BP Energy will be
     deemed to have an allowed general unsecured claim against
     Chemtura arising from the rejection of the Contract
     amounting to $5,206,165;

  -- BP Energy will be permitted, without any further Court
     order, to withhold an amount of the Payment Credits equal
     to $368,880, and set off and apply the amount against the
     Initial Unsecured Claim, thereby leaving BP Energy with an
     allowed general unsecured claim against Chemtura amounting
     to $4,837,284, provided that BP Energy may file a claim
     against Chemtura in an amount and classification of the
     Final Allowed Unsecured Claim and that the claim will be
     deemed to have been filed timely; and

  -- BP Energy and the Debtors and their estates will waive and
     release each other from all prepetition and postpetition
     claims, lawsuits, causes of action and damages.

CHEMTURA CORP: Gets Nod to Release Rabbi Trust Funds

postpetition to a "rabbi trust" under a certain plan known as
"Supplemental Savings Plan" to the participating employees,
provided that the employees undertake to pay all applicable taxes
and penalties on the transferred funds.

The Supplemental Savings Plan is designed to provide benefits
similar to those available under the Debtors' 401(k) plan for
contributions that are in excess of the limits imposed by federal
law on contributions to that plan.  Four executive employees
currently participate in the Supplemental Savings Plan.  Accounts
under the Supplemental Savings Plan have been held pursuant to a
Rabbi Trust established by the Debtors, the terms of which are
governed by a separate trust agreement.

In the U.S., a Rabbi trust is a type of trust used by businesses
or other entities to defer the taxability to the person or entity
receiving those payments as employee compensation, or purchase
payment in the acquisition of another business.  It is called a
'rabbi trust' because apparently the first trust was established
for the benefit of a rabbi.

After the Petition Date, the Debtors continued to administer the
Supplemental Savings Plan in the ordinary course of business and
through July 31, 2009, continued to contribute funds on account
of the SSP Participants to the Rabbi Trust.  The Postpetition
Trust Contributions include deferrals of compensation earned by
the SSP Participants for services they performed postpetition,
totaling approximately $62,000, as well as the employer matching
portion of the Supplemental Savings Plan.

However, shortly before the Petition Date, a certain section of
the Internal Revenue Code was amended to impose restrictions on
an employer operating under Chapter 11 with respect to the
funding of trusts that provide deferred compensation benefits.
In particular, a transfer of funds to a trust triggers these
adverse tax consequences:

  -- the amounts transferred become subject to taxation;

  -- the amounts become subject to an additional 20% tax and
     interest at the Internal Revenue Service underpayment rate
     plus one percent from the date of the initial deferral or
     vesting;

  -- any tax gross-up payments to the employee to ameliorate the
     adverse tax consequences are also subject to the same
     adverse tax treatment; and

  -- any tax gross up payments are nondeductible by the
     employer.

Against this backdrop, the Debtors have proposed, and each of the
affected SSP Participants has agreed to, certain changes to the
administration of the Supplemental Savings Plan.

As a result, Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in
New York, points out, since August 1, 2009, no additional
Postpetition Trust Contributions have been made pursuant to the
Supplemental Savings Plan.  Instead, he relates, contributions
after August 1, 2009, under the Supplemental Savings Plan were
deposited into a general unsegregated account maintained by the
Debtors.

The Debtors now propose to release directly to the SSP
Participants from the Rabbi Trust the Postpetition Employee
Contributions because:

(i) the Debtors believe that a distribution is permitted under
     Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and

(ii) the SSP Participants have agreed to use the funds to pay
     any taxes and penalties due and owing under Section 409A of
     the Internal Revenue Code on account of the adverse
     taxation triggered by the Postpetition Trust Contributions.

Mr. Cieri clarifies that the Debtors do not seek to release the
postpetition employer contributions to the SSP Participants at
the current time.  Instead, they intend to release the funds and
all earnings on the Postpetition Trust Contributions to a general
account of the Debtors.

Although the Debtors believe that they are permitted to make
changes to the administration of the Supplemental Savings Plan
postpetition to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors seek a Court
order, in an abundance of caution, authorizing them to release to
the SSP Participants the Postpetition Employee Contributions that
were made to the Rabbi Trust by each SSP Participant, provided
that the SSP Participants undertake to pay all applicable taxes
and penalties relating to the released funds.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors make clear that they are
not seeking any relief with respect to any prepetition
contributions to the Rabbi Trust.

CHEMTURA CORP: Wins Approval of USW Holiday Pay Agreement
---------------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corp. and its units sought and obtained the Court's
authority to enter into a settlement with the United Steel, Paper
and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and
Service Workers International Union with respect to the unpaid
prepetition holiday pay of certain current and former bargaining
unit employees at their facility in Morgantown, West Virginia.

According to Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in
New York, the Settlement resolves two pending grievance actions
brought by union employees under a collective bargaining
agreement concerning prepetition holiday pay without further
litigation.

The two Grievance Actions allege that certain employees are
entitled to holiday pay, totaling approximately $33,136.

Mr. Cieri relates that the Grievance Actions and the Unpaid
Holiday Pay relate to two periods of time where the Debtors shut
down the operation of the Morgantown Facility for two weeks
spanning certain holidays.  Employees of the Morgantown Facility
were asked to schedule their vacation during the shutdown period.

The Employees commenced the Grievance Actions to recover the
Unpaid Holiday Pay pursuant to the terms of the corresponding
collective bargaining agreement covering union employees at the
Morgantown Facility.  The Debtors, however, disputed the amounts.

Subsequently, the United Steelworkers filed, on its behalf and on
behalf of the bargaining unit employees that it represents, a
$97,529 claim related to, among other things, the Grievance
Actions and other obligations owed by the Debtors on account of
obligations relating to postretirement benefits and other
employee benefits.

Specifically, the Steelworkers Claim includes amounts relating to
the Grievance Actions of at least $32,525.

The parties subsequently engaged in extensive arm's-length
negotiations to settle the Grievance Actions and as a result, the
parties ultimately reached a settlement pursuant to which
Chemtura will pay the Employees $33,136 in total and in full and
final satisfaction of all claims based on the Unpaid Holiday Pay.

Mr. Cieri contends that the Settlement results from the Debtors'
evaluation of the merits of the Grievance Actions and their
weighing of the costs of pursuing arbitration and challenging the
Grievance Actions.  In particular, the Debtors have determined
that the benefits of the settlement, including protecting
employee morale during a difficult time and the unnecessary cost,
expense and distraction that would be incurred in challenging the
Grievance Actions, outweigh proceeding with a formal arbitration.

CHEMTURA CORPORATION: Discloses Deal with Albemarle Corporation
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corporation, debtor-in-possession disclosed a long-term
strategic sourcing agreement with global specialty chemicals
company Albemarle Corporation.  The transaction represents a key
milestone in Chemtura's Flame Retardants business strategic
reorganization process.

Under the agreement, Chemtura will source BA-59P(TM), DE-83R(TM),
Firemaster(R) 2100, n-propyl bromide and sodium bromide from
Albemarle.  Additionally, Albemarle is assigning its brine
interests in Chemtura's West Brine production unit located in
Union County, South Arkansas to Chemtura, which will further
strengthen Chemtura's bromine operations and maximize
productivity.

The parties have also settled ongoing decabromodiphenyl ethane and
bromine litigation, which will end the dispute over Chemtura's
right to sell decabromodiphenyl ethane to the global market.
Chemtura and Albemarle have executed a settlement agreement
covering the litigation which, among other things, provides that
each company will grant a cross license for their respective
decabromodiphenyl ethane products.  The settlement agreement has
been executed by both parties but is pending Bankruptcy Court
approval.

"This strategic sourcing deal reflects Chemtura's commitment to
reinforcing the sustainability of our business," said Chemtura
Chairman, President and CEO Craig Rogerson.  "Specifically, the
transaction furthers our strategic plan to emerge from Chapter 11
status a stronger company by focusing on growth products and
services that differentiate us in the marketplace and provide more
sustainable solutions for our customers."

The strategic agreement will allow Chemtura to further strengthen
operations at its most productive brine field in South Arkansas.
In addition, this agreement will provide greater opportunities for
the company to reinvest in new, innovative flame retardants and
brominated performance products designed as part of Chemtura's
"Greener is Better" program, which is focused on offering
customers greener solutions without sacrificing safety or quality.

"Many of the changes we are making to our Flame Retardant
portfolio are aligned with our overall reorganization plan," said
Anne Noonan, Vice President of Flame Retardants at Chemtura.
"This particular deal allows us to optimize value for our
customers and stakeholders while further strengthening our overall
bromine franchise by reinvestment of dollars in new, innovative
and sustainable product options in 2010."

In addition to bromine and bromine derivatives, Chemtura's product
line includes a broad range of bromine, phosphorous and antimony
based flame retardants, which are used to reduce fire hazards from
materials used in automobiles, home furnishings, insulating
materials, consumer electronics, and electrical equipment, among
other applications.

CHESAPEAKE CORPORATION: PBGC Assumes Plan for 1,700 Workers
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on January 14 announced
it has assumed responsibility for the underfunded pension plan
covering nearly 1,700 workers and retirees of Chesapeake Corp.,
Richmond, Va., a maker of paperboard and plastic packaging
materials for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and specialty
chemical industries.

The PBGC stepped in because the pension plan faced abandonment
after the company, in bankruptcy, sold substantially all of it
assets to buyers unwilling to assume the plan. Retirees and
beneficiaries will continue to receive their monthly benefit
checks without interruption, and other participants will receive
their pensions when they are eligible to retire.

According to PBGC estimates, the Chesapeake Corp. Retirement Plan
is 68 percent funded, with assets of $43.4 million and benefit
liabilities of $63.5 million. The agency expects to cover the
entire $20.1 million shortfall. The PBGC will take over the assets
and use insurance funds to pay guaranteed benefits earned under
the plan, which ended on March 23, 2009, when the bankruptcy court
approved the asset sale.

Within the next several weeks, the PBGC will send notification
letters to all participants in the Chesapeake plan. Under
provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the maximum
guaranteed pension the PBGC can pay is determined by the legal
limits in force on the date of the plan sponsor's bankruptcy.
Therefore participants in the plan are subject to the limits in
effect when Chesapeake filed for bankruptcy protection on December
29, 2008, which set a maximum guaranteed amount of $51,750 a year
for a 65-year-old.

The maximum guaranteed amount is lower for those who retire
earlier or elect survivor benefits. In addition, certain early
retirement subsidies and benefit increases made within the past
five years may not be fully guaranteed. The Chesapeake plan has
been frozen since December 31, 2005.

Workers and retirees with questions may consult the PBGC Web site,
www.pbgc.gov or call toll-free at 1-800-400-7242. For TTY/TDD
users, call the federal relay service toll-free at 1-800-877-8339
and ask for 800-400-7242.

Retirees of Chesapeake Corp. who draw a benefit from the PBGC may
be eligible for the federal Health Coverage Tax Credit. Further
information may be found on the PBGC Web site at
http://www.pbgc.gov/workers-retirees/benefits-
information/content/page13692.html.

Assumption of the plan's unfunded liabilities will have no
significant effect on the PBGC's financial statements because the
claim was previously included in the agency's fiscal year 2009
financial statements, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

The PBGC is a federal corporation created under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. It currently guarantees
payment of basic pension benefits earned by 44 million American
workers and retirees participating in over 29,000 private-sector
defined benefit pension plans. The agency receives no funds from
general tax revenues. Operations are financed largely by insurance
premiums paid by companies that sponsor pension plans and by
investment returns.

stockholders' deficit.


CINRAM INTERNATIONAL: S&P Raises Rating on $675 Mil. Notes to 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its issue-level
rating on Scarborough, Ontario-based Cinram International Inc.'s
US$675 million senior secured term loan to 'B' (the same as the
corporate credit rating on Cinram) from 'D'.  S&P also revised the
recovery rating on the term loan to '3' from '4'.  The 3' recovery
rating indicates an expectation of a meaningful (50%-70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default, compared with a '4' recovery
rating, indicating an expectation of an average (30%-50%) recovery
for lenders in a default scenario.  The change in the recovery
rating reflects S&P's expectations for higher recovery for
debtholders in a simulated default scenario, following the
material reduction in Cinram's total debt in 2009.  Cinram is a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Cinram International Income
Fund.

At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'B' long-term corporate credit
rating on Cinram and the 'B' issue-level rating on the company's
US$100 million senior secured revolving credit facility.  S&P also
revised the recovery rating on the revolver to '3' from '4'.

"We raised the rating on the term loan following the company's
early termination of its program to apply up to US$150 million to
buy back debt below par, which was originally to be in place until
March 29, 2010," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lori
Harris.  "We had viewed the program as a distressed exchange
offer, which resulted in S&P's lowering the rating on the term
loan to 'D' in April 2009 following the settlement of the
company's below-par debt tender offer," Ms. Harris added.

The ratings on Cinram reflect what S&P view as the company's weak
operating performance, limited financial flexibility, and
vulnerable business risk profile (resulting from product and
customer concentration, seasonality, and the commodity-like nature
of the media replication industry).  Furthermore, the ratings
reflect Standard & Poor's concerns about long-term industry
fundamentals, including limited pricing power and S&P's
expectation that digital distribution will become a larger source
of studio revenues.  S&P believes these factors are partially
offset by Cinram's strong market position as the world's largest
manufacturer of prerecorded multimedia products and solid credit
protection measures for the ratings.

The negative outlook reflects Standard & Poor's view of Cinram's
challenges, including the expectation of continued declining
revenue and EBITDA, which could pose a renewed possibility of a
covenant breach.  S&P could consider lowering its ratings on
Cinram if the company suffers a worse-than-expected decline in
EBITDA.  On the other hand, S&P could revise the outlook to stable
if Cinram's operating performance stabilizes and there is a
material increase in covenant headroom.

CITADEL BROADCASTING: Proposes A&M as Restructuring Advisor
-----------------------------------------------------------
Citadel Broadcasting Corp. and its units ask the Court for
authority to employ Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC as their
restructuring advisor, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

To effectively restructure their business and implement a
successful plan of reorganization, the Debtors submit that they
require the services of a capable and experienced restructuring-
advisory firm to assist with various operational issues that will
arise during the course of the Chapter 11 cases.  They tell the
Court that A&M's resources and capabilities, together with its
prepetition experience advising the Debtors, complements the
services offered by the Debtors' other restructuring
professionals and render its retention integral to the Debtors'
success in the Chapter 11 cases.

Before the Petition Date, the Debtors engaged A&M to provide
restructuring advisory services in preparation for the Chapter 11
cases on June 18, 2009.  Since the beginning of its engagement,
A&M has, among other things, familiarized itself with the
Debtors' businesses, advised the Debtors on short-term cash
management and coordinated the Debtors' preparation for their
Chapter 11 cases.

As the Debtors' restructuring advisor, A&M will provide these
services:

  (a) assistance in planning and preparation for a potential
      Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, including assistance with
      the preparation of the Debtors' schedules and statements
      of financial affairs;

  (b) assistance, upon request, with the evaluation of financial
      restructuring-related issues and with the preparation of
      related documentation, including, without limitation 13-
      week cash flow projections, cash collateral projections
      and debtor-in-possession financing projections as related
      to a potential Chapter 11 filing;

  (c) assistance with preparation of the plan and disclosure
      statement including, without limitation assistance with
      preparation of a liquidation analysis;

  (d) assistance with Chapter 11 administrative and reporting
      requirements, including assistance with preparation of
      monthly operating reports and other Chapter 11 reporting
      requirements;

  (e) assistance with claims management services; and

  (f) other activities as are approved by the Debtors' Board of
      Directors and agreed to by A&M.

The Debtors, in addition to reimbursement of A&M's necessary out-
of-pocket expenses, will pay A&M based on its standard hourly
rates:

     Managing Director          $650 to $850
     Directors                  $450 to $650
     Associates                 $350 to $450
     Analysts                   $250 to $350
     Claims Management Services $250 to $625

The Debtors will indemnify and hold harmless A&M and its
affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, agents,
employees or controlling persons of A&M or any of its affiliates
under certain circumstances.  However, A&M will not be
indemnified in the case of its own bad-faith, self-dealing,
breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Furthermore, in no event will A&M be indemnified if the Debtors
or their representative asserts a claim for, and a court
determines by final order that the claim arose out of, A&M's own
bad-faith, self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

Michael D. Kang, a managing director at A&M, assures the Court
that his firm is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined
in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

CITADEL BROADCASTING: Wants Deloitte as Accountants
---------------------------------------------------
Citadel Broadcasting Corp. and its units ask the Court for
authority to employ Deloitte & Touche LLP and Deloitte Tax LLP to
provide auditing and accounting services and also serve as their
tax advisors, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

According to the Debtors, they require the services of a capable
and experienced accounting and tax advisory firm, like Deloitte &
Touche and Deloitte Tax to provide audit, accounting and tax
services.  They assert that Deloitte & Touche's and Deloitte
Tax's resources and capabilities complement the services offered
by their other professionals and the Debtors believe Deloitte &
Touche's and Deloitte Tax's employment is important to the
success of the Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors propose to engage Deloitte & Touche as their
independent auditor and accounting services provider and Deloitte
Tax as their tax services provider.

Specifically, the Two Firms will provide these services:

  * Deloitte & Touche will perform an integrated audit of the
    Debtors' financial statements for the year ending December
    31, 2009, and will express an opinion on the effectiveness
    of the Debtors' internal control over financial reporting;

  * To the extent not already completed, Deloitte & Touche will
    review the Debtors' interim financial information in
    accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
    Board Standards for each of the quarters in the year ending
    December 31, 2009, prepared for submission to the Securities
    and Exchange Commission;

  * Deloitte & Touche will assist the Debtors with respect to
    their the accounting and disclosures during and upon
    emergence from bankruptcy as appropriate; and

  * Deloitte Tax will provide tax advisory services on federal,
    state and local tax matters on an as-requested basis related
    to debt-discharge and other reorganization issues arising in
    connection with the Chapter 11 case and debt restructuring.

The Debtors will pay Deloitte & Touche based on the hours
actually expended by each assigned staff member multiplied by the
staff member's hourly billing rate.  The fees for Deloitte &
Touche's services is estimated to be $1,197,500, the Debtors
note.  The fee structure will remain in place.  However, the fees
for additional audit-related services not anticipated will be
based on these hourly rates:

     Partners (National Office)          $302
     Partners/Directors                  $261
     Senior Managers                     $215
     Managers                            $195
     Senior Associates                   $156
     Staff                               $121

Deloitte & Touche's fees for additional services relating
specifically to audit matters associated with bankruptcy issues
will be based on these hourly rates:

     Partners (National Office)          $332
     Partners/Directors                  $287
     Senior Managers                     $236
     Managers                            $215
     Senior Associates                   $172
     Staff                               $133

Deloitte & Touche has already been paid $1,100,000 by the
Debtors.

With regard to tax services, the Debtors have agreed to
compensate Deloitte Tax for professional services rendered at
these hourly rates:

     Partners                            $600
     Directors                           $550
     Senior Managers                     $475
     Managers                            $400
     Senior Associates                   $300
     Staff                               $185

The Debtors will indemnify and hold harmless Deloitte Tax, its
subcontractors and its personnel from all claims, except to the
extent finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily
from the bad faith or intentional misconduct of Deloitte Tax or
its subcontractors.

John Ruddell, a partner of Deloitte & Touche, and Gregory
Wichman, a partner of Deloitte Tax, assure the Court that each of
their firms is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined
in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

DJO FINANCE: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating on $100 Mil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 (LGD5, 75%) rating to DJO
Finance LLC's offering of $100 million of senior notes due 2014.
Moody's also upgraded the ratings of the company's existing senior
notes to B3 (LGD5, 75%) from Caa1 (LGD5, 78%).  Moody's
understands that the new notes will have the same terms as the
outstanding senior notes.  Moody's also affirmed the ratings of
DJO, including the B2 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings.  The ratings outlook is stable.

Moody's understands that the proceeds of the new notes will be
used to reduce the amount of senior secured debt outstanding.  The
resulting increase in the expected recovery at the senior
unsecured level results in the upgrade of the ratings on DJO's
existing notes.  Moody's also notes that the transaction does not
result in any incremental debt and should bolster the company's
liquidity position by providing additional headroom under the
senior secured leverage covenant requirement and extending the
maturity of a portion of the company's debt.

DJO's B2 Corporate Family Rating continues to reflect the
company's considerable financial leverage, limited interest
expense coverage and modest free cash flow generation.
Improvements in credit metrics anticipated at the time of the
combination of DJO and ReAble have been much slower than expected
resulting in a relatively weak credit profile for the B2 rating.
However, the ratings also reflect recent improvement as synergies
from the combination and cost containment initiatives, including
restructuring certain business lines, begin to be reflected in the
company's operating results.

Following is a summary of Moody's rating actions.

Ratings assigned:

* $100 million senior unsecured notes due 2014, B3 (LGD5, 75%)

Ratings upgraded:

* $575 million senior unsecured notes due 2014, to B3 (LGD5, 75%)
  from Caa1 (LGD5, 78%)

Ratings affirmed/LGD assessments revised:

* $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2013,
  to Ba3 (LGD2, 24%) from Ba3 (LGD2, 27%)

* $1,055 million senior secured term loan due 2014, to Ba3 (LGD2,
  24%) from Ba3 (LGD2, 27%)

* $200 million senior subordinated notes due 2014, Caa1 (LGD6,
  94%)

* Corporate Family Rating at B2

* Probability of Default Rating at B2

* Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-3

Moody's last rating action was on November 19, 2009, when Moody's
affirmed the ratings of the company.

DJO, through its subsidiaries, is a provider of orthopedic devices
used in rehabilitation, pain management and physical therapy.  The
company also develops, manufactures and distributes a broad range
of reconstructive joint implant products.  The company recognized
approximately $960 million of revenue for the twelve months ended
September 26, 2009.


DJO INC: S&P Assigns 'B-' Rating on $100 Mil. Senior Notes
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B-'
senior unsecured rating to Vista, California-based DJO Inc.'s
proposed $100 million senior unsecured notes maturing 2014.  At
the same time, S&P assigned its '5' recovery rating, indicating
its expectation for modest recovery (10%-30%) in the event of a
default.  S&P also affirmed all outstanding ratings on the
company, and the outlook remains stable.

The notes will be issued by DJO Finance LLC and DJO Finance
Corporation and will have identical terms to the company's
existing senior unsecured notes.  Proceeds will be used to repay a
portion of the term loan outstanding under the company's existing
senior secured credit facilities.  The issuance of these notes
will leave the company's total debt outstanding essentially
unchanged and will provide enhanced flexibility with respect to
its senior secured leverage covenants.  S&P views the transaction
positively as it should lower the company's senior secured
leverage ratio by 0.4x, thus providing additional cushion under
the covenant.  DJO is not subject to a total leverage covenant.

The ratings on DJO Inc. overwhelmingly reflects the company's
large debt burden and associated interest expense as a result of
the merger between DJO and ReAble Therapeutics, Inc., in November
2007, as well as the potential for increased competition and
adverse changes to third-party reimbursements.  These
considerations are only somewhat offset by DJO's established
position in niche orthopedic markets, product and customer
diversity, and long-standing customer relationships.

the Company entered into an irrevocable Assignment for the Benefit

EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS: Ohio Teachers' Board Discloses 4.97% Stake
----------------------------------------------------------------
The State Teachers Retirement Board of Ohio disclosed holding
1,622,956 shares or roughly 4.97% of the common stock of Emmis
Communications.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Emmis Communications
Corporation owns and operates radio stations and magazine
publications in the U.S. and in Europe.

As of November 30, 2009, the Company had $513,406,000 in total
assets against $497,070,000 in total liabilities and $140,459,000
in Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.  As of
November 30, the Company had accumulated deficit of $697,805,000
and total shareholders' deficit of $173,894,000.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 22, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service changed Emmis Communications' senior
secured term loan rating to Caa2 from Ca following the completion
of a series of Dutch auction transactions pursuant to a March 3,
2009 credit facility amendment.  The revised rating reflects the
Company's capital structure, pro-forma for an roughly
$78 million reduction of term loan debt which has resulted from
these transactions.  In addition, Moody's removed the "/LD"
designation previously appended to the Probability of Default
rating on April 27, 2009.

In April, Moody's cut its corporate family rating on the Company
to 'Caa2'.

In May, S&P raised its corporate credit rating on the Company to
'CCC+'.  In June, S&P withdrew the 'CCC+' Corp. Credit Rating at
the Company's request.


EPICEPT CORP: Reverse Split of Common Stock Consummated
-------------------------------------------------------
EpiCept Corporation announced that a previously authorized 1-for-3
reverse stock split of its common stock has been consummated and
will be in effect as follows:

                       Nasdaq Capital Market

The reverse stock split will be in effect at the start of trading
on Friday, January 15, 2010 on a 1-for-3 split-adjusted basis. The
Company's shares will trade under the symbol EPCTD for 20 business
days and will, after such 20-business day period, revert back to
the current trading symbol of EPCT.  The stock will also have a
new CUSIP number, 294264 304.

                    Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Exchange

The last day of trading in the Company's shares on the Nasdaq OMX
Stockholm Exchange before the reverse split will be Thursday,
January 14, 2010.  It is expected that the first day of trading in
the Company's post-split shares on a 1-for-3 split-adjusted basis
will be on Monday, January 18, 2010 and that there will be a
technical trading halt on Friday, January 15, 2010 . However, this
is to be decided by the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Exchange. The record
date with Euroclear Sweden AB for the reverse split will be
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 and the new number of shares is
expected to be credited to each shareholder's securities account
on Thursday, January 21, 2010.  The Company's post-split shares
will have the new ISIN US2942643048.  A notice confirming the new
number of shares on the securities account will be sent out
shortly thereafter.

"Our actions [Thurs] day were taken because we believe it is in
the best interests of the stockholders to maintain our primary
listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market," stated Jack Talley, President
and CEO of EpiCept.  "This reverse split was overwhelmingly
authorized by our stockholders with almost 96 percent of the voted
shares voting in favor.  We believe that by reducing the total
number of shares issued and outstanding and the resulting increase
in the per-share trading price of our common stock, we will comply
with the Nasdaq Capital Market's minimum bid price rule and will
improve the attractiveness of our stock to a broader group of
investors."

The 1-for-3 reverse stock split automatically converted every
three outstanding pre-split shares of the Company's common stock
into one outstanding new post-split share of common stock.  If the
number of shares held by a particular stockholder is not evenly
divisible by the ratio of the reverse split, the stockholder's new
share count will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.  The
reverse split, which was authorized by the Company's stockholders
on January 7, 2010, reduces the number of outstanding shares of
common stock from approximately 132,470,230 to approximately
44,156,743.

The number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding stock
options, stock warrants or convertible securities, and the
exercise prices and conversion ratios of those securities, will
automatically be proportionately adjusted for the 1-for-3 ratio
provided for by the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split was effected through the filing of a
Certificate of Amendment to EpiCept's Third Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware.

Stockholders holding shares in "street name" through a brokerage
account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect
the reverse stock split.  The issuance of new stock certificates
will not be required at this time.

                        Going Concern Doubt

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Nov. 17,
2009, EpiCept Corporation posted a net loss of $4,813,000 for the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2009, from a net loss of $6,163,000
for the same period a year ago.  The Company posted a net loss of
$34,378,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from a
net loss of $20,006,000 for the same period a year ago.

Revenue was $116,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2009, from $78,000 for the same period a year ago.  Revenue was
$322,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from
$169,000 for the same period a year ago.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $11,962,000 in total assets
against $17,122,000 in total liabilities, resulting in $5,160,000
in stockholders' deficit.

EpiCept's management believes that existing cash and cash
equivalents will be sufficient to meet projected operating and
debt service requirements into the second quarter of 2010.
Additional funding for the Company's operations is anticipated to
be derived from sales of Ceplene(R) in Europe, fees from the
Company's strategic partners including a marketing partner for
Ceplene(R) in Europe, strategic relationships for other product
candidates including NP-1 or other financing arrangements.

"We have devoted substantially all of our cash resources to
research and development programs and selling, general and
administrative expenses, and to date we have not generated
any meaningful revenues from the sale of products.  Since
inception, we have incurred significant net losses each year.  As
a result, we have an accumulated deficit of $230.6 million as of
September 30, 2009.  Our recurring losses from operations and the
accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern," the Company said in its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q.

                           About EpiCept

EXTENDED STAY: Has Agreement with Centerbridge on Plan Funding
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ari Lefkovits, at Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, said in a court filing
that Extended Stay Inc has reached an agreement in principle,
subject to resolution of certain points, with Centerbridge
Partners L.P., Paulson & Co., Inc. and certain other investors.
The Centerbridge/Paulson Proposal includes a commitment for a
$400 million cash infusion into the Debtors' operations, without a
due diligence requirement, and is subject to other potential
sponsors proposing higher offers.

In furtherance of their efforts to propose and confirm a plan in
an expeditious manner, the Debtors currently intend to file a
motion for authorization to enter into an investment agreement
with Centerbridge and Paulson and approval of, among other things,
investor protections for Centerbridge and Paulson by January 20,
2010, with the goal of having a hearing with respect thereto at
the February 18 omnibus hearing.

According to Ms. Lefkovits, the Debtors' professionals did not
attempt to "stonewall" Starwood Capital Group LLC's attempts to
participate in the plan negotiation process or to conduct due
diligence.

Starwood has claimed that the Debtors failed to provide
information with respect to its negotiations with
Centerbridge/Paulson.  Starwood says it intends to closely
scrutinize the facts and circumstances surrounding the Debtors'
negotiations with Centerbridge/Paulson and any other parties and
will continue to closely monitor the actions of the Debtors, in
particular their responsiveness to the diligence requests.

The Creditors Committee previously said that Starwood is working
with various constituencies on a reorganization plan that is based
on a "substantially higher enterprise value."  Starwood said its
potential proposal includes a higher valuation, $600 million in
equity, cash to pay down some debt, funds for capital investments,
and the possibility of distributions to junior creditors and
mezzanine lenders.

According to Daily Bankruptcy Review, Starwood said its proposal
has the support of numerous Extended Stay debt holders, including
Citigroup Inc., D.E. Shaw & Co. and Five Mile Capital Partners
LLC.  Through affiliates, Starwood itself holds $132 million in
Extended Stay mortgage debt and $123 million in the junior
mezzanine debt.

FANNIE MAE: Government Completes Initiative to Support HFAs
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Department of the Treasury, together with the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA), on Wednesday announced the completion of
all transactions under the recently-introduced state and local
Housing Finance Agency (HFA) Initiative, a key element of the
Obama Administration's Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan.
With these transactions, the Obama Administration helps support
low mortgage rates and expands resources for low and middle income
borrowers to purchase or rent homes that are affordable over the
long term. Government Sponsored Enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac played a central role in both Initiative design and
transaction execution.  The HFA Initiative is expected to come at
no cost to taxpayers.

Through more than 90 participating HFAs, the HFA Initiative will
make affordable financing available to hundreds of thousands of
new homebuyers and existing homeowners, as well as support the
development and rehabilitation of multi-family rental properties.
Mortgages can be used to purchase or rehabilitate homes, as well
as refinance existing mortgages at more affordable rates.
Participating HFAs are also expected to provide affordable
multifamily loans that will help keep rents affordable for tens of
thousands of renters.  Participating state and local agencies have
already begun providing affordable mortgages financed through the
HFA Initiative.

"Supporting the work of state and local HFAs is critical to the
Administration's broader initiative to stabilize the housing
market, which is helping to keep mortgage rates low and mortgage
finance flowing for American households across the country," said
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.

"The assistance provided under the HFA Initiative will help
maintain the viability of state and local HFAs which play key
roles in HUD's efforts to promote expanded access to affordable
rental housing and serve as important players in making
homeownership possible for hardworking Americans who otherwise
would not be able to purchase or remain in their homes," said HUD
Secretary Shaun Donovan.

"Working together we were able to address the stresses on HFAs
created by the housing market turmoil," said FHFA Acting Director
Edward J. DeMarco.  "The Enterprises played a critical role,
consistent with their mission and on commercially reasonable
terms. Their successful execution of over 125 separate
transactions, all in the final month of 2009, was an impressive
achievement."

"Given our long-standing partnership with state and local HFAs, we
were able to move quickly to support the Administration's
initiative, which is targeted directly at affordable housing for
America's working families," said Michael J. Williams, Fannie Mae
President and CEO.  "By creating $23 billion in much-needed, new
housing capital for the housing finance system, this initiative
will enable the HFAs to return to the level of market liquidity
they have provided historically."

"We applaud the successful completion of the HFA Initiative.
Freddie Mac is proud to provide an essential financial link to the
nation's state and local HFAs that will support affordable
homeownership and rental housing and help stimulate America's
housing markets," said Freddie Mac CEO Ed Haldeman.

             Local and State Impact of the Initiative

"These bond proceeds, combined with the $7.7 billion in retail
housing bonds the Initiative requires state HFAs to issue, will
allow HFAs to finance more than 200,000 affordable homes, while
generating jobs and tax revenue for the economy," said Susan
Dewey, president of the National Council of State Housing Agencies
(NCSHA) and executive director of the Virginia Housing Development
Authority.  "HFAs are already putting these resources to work to
provide first-time home buyer mortgages and finance rental
housing," Dewey added.

"The National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies
(NALHFA) applauds the Treasury, Federal Housing Finance Agency,
and especially the Government-Sponsored Enterprises for putting
together, in a nearly impossible timeframe, this vital bond
purchase program and liquidity facility.  It will give
participating local housing finance agencies the ability to
significantly expand homeownership and rental housing
opportunities for their lower income households," said NALHFA
President Patricia Braynon, Executive Director of the Miami-Dade
County, FL Housing Finance Authority.

"The Treasury Initiative will provide loans to approximately
11,000 home buyers in Pennsylvania, as well as putting our home
builders back to work," said Executive Director of the
Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency Brian Hudson.  "I believe a
new and stronger partnership has been formed between the
Administration, the GSEs, and state HFAs to deliver affordable
housing across the nation."

"As one of many HFAs that have participated in the
Administration's HFA Initiative, the Idaho Housing and Finance
Association has been able to once again access the tax-exempt bond
markets for affordable homeownership lending capital," said
President and Executive Director of the Idaho Housing and Finance
Association Gerald Hunter.  "Many prospective home buyers will be
able to purchase homes because of this financing opportunity.
And, it comes at a time when our economy needs all the assistance
it can get.  We appreciate the professional and focused efforts by
the many staff members at Treasury, HUD, FHFA, Fannie Mae, and
Freddie Mac to make this opportunity available for our citizens."

                 Background on the HFA Initiative

On October 19, Treasury announced a new initiative for state and
local HFAs to help support low mortgage rates and expand resources
for low and middle income borrowers to purchase or rent homes that
are affordable over the long term.  Following up on the intent to
support HFAs first outlined in February under the Homeowner
Affordability and Stability Plan, the Administration's Initiative
has two parts: a New Issue Bond Program (NIBP) to support new
lending by HFAs and a Temporary Credit and Liquidity Program
(TCLP) to improve the access of HFAs to liquidity for outstanding
HFA bonds.

                      New Issue Bond Program

The New Issue Bond Program (NIBP) provided temporary financing for
HFAs to issue new housing bonds.  Treasury purchased securities of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac backed by these new housing bonds.
With these investments, the HFAs have issued an amount of new
housing bonds equal to what they are authorized to issue with the
allocations provided them by Congress but have been unable to
issue given the current challenges in housing and related markets.
The program may support up to several hundred thousand new
mortgages to first time homebuyers this coming year, as well as
refinancing opportunities to put at-risk, but responsible and
performing, borrowers into more sustainable mortgages.  The NIBP
will also support development of tens of thousands of new rental
housing units for working families.

              Temporary Credit and Liquidity Program

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are administering a Temporary Credit
and Liquidity Program (TCLP) for HFAs to help relieve current
financial strains and enable them to continue to serve their
important role in providing housing resources to working families.

Treasury has agreed to purchase a participation interest in the
Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facilities (TCLFs) provided to HFAs
under the program, providing a credit and liquidity backstop.  The
TCLP provides HFAs with temporary credit and liquidity facilities
to help the HFAs maintain their financial health and preserve the
viability of the HFA infrastructure so that HFAs can continue
their Congressionally supported role in helping provide affordable
mortgage credit to low and moderate income Americans, as well as
continue their other important activities in communities.  Over 90
state and local HFAs representing 49 states participated in the
NIBP for an aggregate total new issuance of $15.3 billion.  Twelve
HFAs participated in the TCLP for an aggregate total usage of
$8.2 billion.  The Initiative is expected to come at no cost to
the taxpayers and to the Government Sponsored Enterprises.

                         About Freddie Mac

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

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

Freddie Mac narrowed its net loss to $5,013,000,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, from a net loss of
$25,295,000,000 for the same quarter a year ago.  Freddie Mac
posted a net loss of $14,097,000,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, from a net loss of $26,263,000,000 for the

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the U.S. government
took direct responsibility for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, placing
the government sponsored enterprises under conservatorship on
September 7, 2008.  James B. Lockhart, director of Federal Housing
Finance Agency, said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac share the

FORD MOTOR: In Talks to Split Mazda Joint Venture in China
----------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Norihiko Shirouzu reports that a person
close to Mazda Motor Corp. said the Japanese auto maker is
discussing with Ford Motor Co. possible ways to split their joint
venture in China and establish a new structure for cooperating
with their common Chinese partner.

The Journal says Ford and Mazda now jointly work with Chongqing
Changan Automotive Co. in China.  The three companies share two
major manufacturing bases, in the southwestern city of Chongqing
and the eastern city of Nanjing.

The Journal's source said Mazda and Ford are discussing possible
ways to split those China operations into two separate entities,
with the Chongqing operations owned and operated by Ford and
Changan, and the Nanjing base by Mazda and Changan.  According to
the Journal, Japan's Nihon Keizai Shimbun business daily reported
in its Sunday edition that Mazda and Ford will dissolve their
joint venture in China by 2012.

The person told the Journal said the move is partly driven by
Ford's decision in 2008 to raise money by reducing its controlling
stake in Mazda to 13% from one third.  That source said Mazda now
feels less need to coordinate its strategy in China with Ford and
is seeking "more operational freedom" to boost its presence in the
country, which last year surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest
auto market.

That source said the Companies haven't yet made a final decision,
however, and any such plan would require the Chinese government's
official blessing before it could go ahead. "It remains only a
possibility that we're trying to realize until Beijing approves
it," the knowledgeable person said, according to the Journal.

The Journal says moreover Mazda and Ford will continue to
cooperate around the world as "strategic partners" even if they do
change their China arrangement, the person said.  The two
companies remain committed to producing cars jointly at a plant
near Detroit.

The Journal relates that Ken Haruki, a Mazda spokesman in Japan,
declined to comment on the report, saying that "nothing has been
decided."  Spokesmen for Ford didn't immediately respond to
requests for comment.  A Changan spokesman couldn't be reached
Sunday night.

The Journal says Mr. Haruki confirmed that Mazda plans to move
production of its Mazda 3 compact car, currently made at the Ford
joint venture's plant in Chongqing, to its base in Nanjing by the
middle of this year.

The Journal's source said that shifting the production base for
the Mazda 3 is a precursor to the potential move change in the
Mazda-Ford joint venture with Changan.

FREDDIE MAC: Government Completes Initiative to Support HFAs
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Department of the Treasury, together with the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA), on Wednesday announced the completion of
all transactions under the recently-introduced state and local
Housing Finance Agency (HFA) Initiative, a key element of the
Obama Administration's Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan.
With these transactions, the Obama Administration helps support
low mortgage rates and expands resources for low and middle income
borrowers to purchase or rent homes that are affordable over the
long term. Government Sponsored Enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac played a central role in both Initiative design and
transaction execution.  The HFA Initiative is expected to come at
no cost to taxpayers.

Through more than 90 participating HFAs, the HFA Initiative will
make affordable financing available to hundreds of thousands of
new homebuyers and existing homeowners, as well as support the
development and rehabilitation of multi-family rental properties.
Mortgages can be used to purchase or rehabilitate homes, as well
as refinance existing mortgages at more affordable rates.
Participating HFAs are also expected to provide affordable
multifamily loans that will help keep rents affordable for tens of
thousands of renters.  Participating state and local agencies have
already begun providing affordable mortgages financed through the
HFA Initiative.

"Supporting the work of state and local HFAs is critical to the
Administration's broader initiative to stabilize the housing
market, which is helping to keep mortgage rates low and mortgage
finance flowing for American households across the country," said
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.

"The assistance provided under the HFA Initiative will help
maintain the viability of state and local HFAs which play key
roles in HUD's efforts to promote expanded access to affordable
rental housing and serve as important players in making
homeownership possible for hardworking Americans who otherwise
would not be able to purchase or remain in their homes," said HUD
Secretary Shaun Donovan.

"Working together we were able to address the stresses on HFAs
created by the housing market turmoil," said FHFA Acting Director
Edward J. DeMarco.  "The Enterprises played a critical role,
consistent with their mission and on commercially reasonable
terms. Their successful execution of over 125 separate
transactions, all in the final month of 2009, was an impressive
achievement."

"Given our long-standing partnership with state and local HFAs, we
were able to move quickly to support the Administration's
initiative, which is targeted directly at affordable housing for
America's working families," said Michael J. Williams, Fannie Mae
President and CEO.  "By creating $23 billion in much-needed, new
housing capital for the housing finance system, this initiative
will enable the HFAs to return to the level of market liquidity
they have provided historically."

"We applaud the successful completion of the HFA Initiative.
Freddie Mac is proud to provide an essential financial link to the
nation's state and local HFAs that will support affordable
homeownership and rental housing and help stimulate America's
housing markets," said Freddie Mac CEO Ed Haldeman.

             Local and State Impact of the Initiative

"These bond proceeds, combined with the $7.7 billion in retail
housing bonds the Initiative requires state HFAs to issue, will
allow HFAs to finance more than 200,000 affordable homes, while
generating jobs and tax revenue for the economy," said Susan
Dewey, president of the National Council of State Housing Agencies
(NCSHA) and executive director of the Virginia Housing Development
Authority.  "HFAs are already putting these resources to work to
provide first-time home buyer mortgages and finance rental
housing," Dewey added.

"The National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies
(NALHFA) applauds the Treasury, Federal Housing Finance Agency,
and especially the Government-Sponsored Enterprises for putting
together, in a nearly impossible timeframe, this vital bond
purchase program and liquidity facility.  It will give
participating local housing finance agencies the ability to
significantly expand homeownership and rental housing
opportunities for their lower income households," said NALHFA
President Patricia Braynon, Executive Director of the Miami-Dade
County, FL Housing Finance Authority.

"The Treasury Initiative will provide loans to approximately
11,000 home buyers in Pennsylvania, as well as putting our home
builders back to work," said Executive Director of the
Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency Brian Hudson.  "I believe a
new and stronger partnership has been formed between the
Administration, the GSEs, and state HFAs to deliver affordable
housing across the nation."

"As one of many HFAs that have participated in the
Administration's HFA Initiative, the Idaho Housing and Finance
Association has been able to once again access the tax-exempt bond
markets for affordable homeownership lending capital," said
President and Executive Director of the Idaho Housing and Finance
Association Gerald Hunter.  "Many prospective home buyers will be
able to purchase homes because of this financing opportunity.
And, it comes at a time when our economy needs all the assistance
it can get.  We appreciate the professional and focused efforts by
the many staff members at Treasury, HUD, FHFA, Fannie Mae, and
Freddie Mac to make this opportunity available for our citizens."

                 Background on the HFA Initiative

On October 19, Treasury announced a new initiative for state and
local HFAs to help support low mortgage rates and expand resources
for low and middle income borrowers to purchase or rent homes that
are affordable over the long term.  Following up on the intent to
support HFAs first outlined in February under the Homeowner
Affordability and Stability Plan, the Administration's Initiative
has two parts: a New Issue Bond Program (NIBP) to support new
lending by HFAs and a Temporary Credit and Liquidity Program
(TCLP) to improve the access of HFAs to liquidity for outstanding
HFA bonds.

                      New Issue Bond Program

The New Issue Bond Program (NIBP) provided temporary financing for
HFAs to issue new housing bonds.  Treasury purchased securities of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac backed by these new housing bonds.
With these investments, the HFAs have issued an amount of new
housing bonds equal to what they are authorized to issue with the
allocations provided them by Congress but have been unable to
issue given the current challenges in housing and related markets.
The program may support up to several hundred thousand new
mortgages to first time homebuyers this coming year, as well as
refinancing opportunities to put at-risk, but responsible and
performing, borrowers into more sustainable mortgages.  The NIBP
will also support development of tens of thousands of new rental
housing units for working families.

              Temporary Credit and Liquidity Program

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are administering a Temporary Credit
and Liquidity Program (TCLP) for HFAs to help relieve current
financial strains and enable them to continue to serve their
important role in providing housing resources to working families.

Treasury has agreed to purchase a participation interest in the
Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facilities (TCLFs) provided to HFAs
under the program, providing a credit and liquidity backstop.  The
TCLP provides HFAs with temporary credit and liquidity facilities
to help the HFAs maintain their financial health and preserve the
viability of the HFA infrastructure so that HFAs can continue
their Congressionally supported role in helping provide affordable
mortgage credit to low and moderate income Americans, as well as
continue their other important activities in communities.  Over 90
state and local HFAs representing 49 states participated in the
NIBP for an aggregate total new issuance of $15.3 billion.  Twelve
HFAs participated in the TCLP for an aggregate total usage of
$8.2 billion.  The Initiative is expected to come at no cost to
the taxpayers and to the Government Sponsored Enterprises.

GENERATIONS BRANDS: Reorganization Plan Wins Court Approval
-----------------------------------------------------------
Generation Brands disclosed that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has
confirmed the Company's pre-packaged Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization.  The Court's approval of the plan, which had
received the strong support of the Company's lenders and
noteholders, clears the way for Generation Brands to emerge from
Chapter 11 by the end of January, less than two months after the
Dec. 4 filing.

Under the plan, as confirmed by the Court, Generation Brands will
improve its financial flexibility by eliminating more than $150
million of debt from its balance sheet, reducing interest expense
and extending maturities until 2014.  Upon its emergence from
Chapter 11, the Company is also receiving a new $20-million equity
investment from an affiliate of Quad-C Management, Inc., the
Company's principal stockholder.  At that time, Generation Brands
expects to have more than $30 million in liquidity.

"We are gratified by the confidence that our lenders, principal
stockholder, customers and suppliers have shown in us throughout
this process," said Generation Brands President and Chief
Executive Officer T. Tracy Bilbrough.  "With their support, we
have successfully addressed our balance-sheet issues and will
emerge from our brief restructuring with increased financial
strength and a renewed commitment to providing innovative designs
and quality products long into the future."

Mr. Bilbrough added: "I deeply appreciate the dedication and hard
work of our employees and sales agents.  Thanks to their efforts,
our operations have not missed a beat during our restructuring."

The Company filed its voluntary petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington.  The Company was
advised in connection with its pre-packaged Chapter 11 financial
reorganization by White & Case LLP and Barclays Capital.

GPX INTERNATIONAL: MITL Acquisition Closes $11MM Purchase
---------------------------------------------------------
According to TireBusiness.com, MITL Acquisition Corp. L.L.C. has
completed its $11 million acquisition of GPX International Tire
Corp.'s solid tire business, paving way for the business to
transition to Maine Industrial Tire L.L.C.

                     About GPX International

GRAFTECH INTERNATIONAL: S&P Raises Corp. Credit Rating to 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard and Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on GrafTech International Ltd. to 'BB+' from 'BB-'.  At the
same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on the company's
$215 million revolving credit facility due 2010 to 'BBB' from
'BB+'.  The recovery rating on the facility remains unchanged at
'1', indicating S&P's expectation for very high (90% to 100%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  The rating outlook is
stable.  In addition, S&P removed all ratings on GrafTech from
CreditWatch positive, where S&P placed them on Sept. 30, 2009.

The rating upgrades and CreditWatch removals reflect GrafTech's
better-than-expected operating performance in 2009, despite the
downturn in the steel industry that resulted in an average
operating rate of around 65% for electric arc furnaces globally
compared with almost 90% in 2008.  S&P estimates that the company
generated around $130 million of EBITDA in 2009, earning an
operating margin of around 20%.  In addition, the company utilized
free cash flow, which totaled around $100 million, to materially
reduce debt balances by about $50 million.  As a result, credit
metrics are currently at a level that S&P would consider good even
for the higher rating, total adjusted debt to EBITDA is well under
1x, and funds from operations to total adjusted debt are well over
100%.  While S&P believes the company will likely incur additional
debt in the future as it pursues both internal and external growth
opportunities, including potential acquisitions, S&P expects
management to continue to maintain its relatively conservative
financial policy and credit metrics at a level that S&P would
consider consistent with the 'BB+' rating given the company's fair
business risk profile; adjusted debt leverage is below 3.0x.

The 'BB+' rating and stable outlook incorporate S&P's expectation
that operating performance will improve in 2010 compared with
2009, which a significantly higher volume of graphite electrodes
and improved performance from the company's engineered solutions
segment that should benefit from the improving global economy
should drive.  Specifically, S&P is expecting graphite electrode
volume of around 140,000 metric tons in 2010 compared with around
93,000 metric tons in 2009.  As a result, S&P expects EBITDA to be
approximately $200 million and funds from operations to total
around $140 million.

The ratings on Parma, Ohio-based GrafTech reflect the company's
fair business risk profile, which its significant exposure to the
cyclical steel industry, high degree of supplier concentration,
and continued raw material cost pressures demonstrate.  Still, the
company maintains a good market position in graphite electrodes,
has healthy margins, and an intermediate financial risk profile
driven mainly by its very low book debt balances.

GREYSTONE PHARMACEUTICALS: Gets Final Nod for BLN Capital Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Paulette J. Delk of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Tennessee authorized, on a final basis,
Greystone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to:

   -- incur $300,000 in secured postpetition financing from BLN
      Capital Funding, LLC; and

   -- grant adequate protection to BLN.

As of the petition date, the Debtor was indebted to BLN, its
principal lender, $1.1 million, exclusive of interest, fees,
attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for
under the loan documents.

The Debtor could not obtain a postpetition credit facility to meet
its working capital needs.  BLN expressed willingness to lend
money to the Debtor.

In return for the line of credit, BLN will receive an equity
interest in the Reorganized Debtor equal to 0.5% for making the
loan available and an additional 0.5% if the Debtor draws more
than $150,000;

The debtor-in-possession loan will bear interest at 12% per annum,
and will be repayable with interest only charges until the first
quarter 2011.  At that time, principal will be due in four equal
quarterly payments;

To secure repayment of the DIP loan, BLN will receive (i) a
priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) a senior
lien on property of the estate (other than avoidance actions) that
is not otherwise subject to a lien; (iii) a junior lien on
property of the estate (other than avoidance actions) that is
subject to valid, perfected and unavoidable liens; and (iv) a
senior priming lien on property of the estate that is subject to a
senior prepetition first lien in favor of BLN.

HEXION SPECIALTY: S&P Puts 'CCC+' Rating on CreditWatch Positive
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its ratings
on Columbus, Ohio-based Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc. on
CreditWatch with positive implications.  Upon successful
completion of the proposed financing plan, S&P will raise the
corporate credit rating to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.  The outlook will be
stable.

"The ratings on Hexion reflect a highly leveraged financial
profile, despite an expected improvement in leverage, and a weak
business risk profile as a global manufacturer and marketer of
thermoset resins," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Paul
Kurias.

Also upon completion of the financing plan, S&P will raise its
issue-level ratings on the company's senior secured facilities to
'B-' from 'CCC+' and revise the recovery ratings on these
facilities to '3' from '4'.  The '3' recovery rating indicates
S&P's expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%) in the event
of a payment default.  The senior secured facilities consist of a
$225 million revolving credit facility, a $2.3 billion term loan,
and a $50 million synthetic letter of credit facility.

S&P assigned a 'B-' issue-level rating and a '3' recovery rating
to the company's proposed $200 million revolving loan commitment,
which is effective when the current $225 million revolving credit
facility matures in May 2011.  S&P also assigned a 'B-' rating and
'3' recovery rating to a proposed $500 million extended term loan.
The company is seeking to extend the maturity of $500 million of
its existing $2.3 billion term loans to 2015 from 2013.

S&P also assigned a 'CCC+' issue-level rating and a '5' recovery
rating to a proposed $700 million second-lien notes issue.  The
'5' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for modest
recovery (10%-30%) in the event of a payment default.


GSC INVESTMENT: Lenders Opt to Not Accelerate Defaulted Facility
----------------------------------------------------------------
GSC Investment Corp. reported financial results for the fiscal
third quarter ended November 30, 2009.

                         Operating Results

For the quarter ended November 30, 2009, GSC Investment Corp.
reported net investment income of $0.9 million, or $0.10 per
share, and net gain on investments of $8.3 million, or $0.91 per
share, resulting in a net increase in net assets from operations
of $9.1 million, or $1.01 per share. $8.8 million of the net gain
was due to unrealized appreciation.  Net asset value was $3.80 per
share as of November 30, 2009 as compared to $6.91 per share as of
August 31, 2009.  The decrease in NAV per share from August 31,
2009 was primarily the result of the distribution of 8.6 million
shares of common stock on December 31, 2009, for the stock portion
of the dividend declared on November 13, 2009.  In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals, the number of shares
outstanding used to calculate NAV per share as of November 30,
2009, was retroactively adjusted to reflect the additional shares
issued as a result of the stock dividend.  Excluding the issuance
of these additional shares, the NAV per share would have been
$7.76 as of November 30, 2009.

               Portfolio and Investment Activity

As of November 30, 2009, the value of the Company's investment
portfolio was $103.3 million, principally invested in 29 portfolio
companies and one collateralized loan obligation fund.  The
overall portfolio composition consisted of 15.4% first lien term
loans, 29.1% second lien term loans, 27.5% senior secured notes,
7.1% unsecured notes, 20.8% subordinated notes of GSCIC CLO and
0.1% equity/limited partnership interests.

During the third quarter, GSC Investment Corp. made no investments
in new or existing portfolio companies.  For the quarter, the
Company had $5.7 million in aggregate amount of exits and
repayments, resulting in net repayments of $5.7 million.

As of November 30, 2009, the weighted average current yield on the
Company's first lien term loans, second lien term loans, senior
secured notes, unsecured notes and the GSCIC CLO subordinated
notes were 7.8%, 8.0%, 11.6%, 12.3% and 11.0%, respectively, which
resulted in an aggregate weighted average current yield of 9.8%.

As of November 30, 2009, 43.2%, or $35.3 million, of the Company's
interest-bearing portfolio was fixed rate debt with a weighted
average current coupon of 11.7% and 56.8%, or $46.5 million, of
its interest-bearing portfolio was floating rate debt with a
weighted average current spread of LIBOR plus 7.1%.

                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 30, 2009, the Company had $43.8 million in borrowings
under its credit facility and an asset coverage ratio of 247%.

On July 30, 2009, an unremedied borrowing base deficiency became
an event of default, which is currently continuing.  During the
continuance of an event of default, the lender has the ability to
terminate the facility and sell the underlying collateral
necessary to satisfy outstanding borrowings.  The lender has
elected not to accelerate the obligation to date, but has reserved
the right to do so.  Including $6.3 million of repayments made
subsequent to November 30, 2009, the Company has repaid
$18.3 million of outstanding borrowings since the event of default
consisting of $11.6 million of proceeds from asset sales and
repayments and $6.7 million from cash interest received in excess
of interest expense.

The Company continues to work with the investment banking firm of
Stifel Nicolaus & Company as it actively evaluates strategic
alternatives to maximize long-term shareholder value.

                             Dividend

On November 13, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
dividend of $1.825 per share is payable on December 31, 2009, to
shareholders of record as of November 25, 2009.  Shareholders had
until December 17, 2009, to elect whether to receive the dividend
in cash (up to an aggregate maximum cash amount of approximately
$2.1 million or approximately 13.7% of the total dividend paid) or
in shares of common stock.  The dividend consisted of $2.1 million
in cash and 8,648,725 shares of common stock or 104% of GSC
Investment Corp's outstanding shares prior to the dividend.  The
dividend included the balance of the Company's fiscal year 2009
taxable income and a significant portion of the Company's fiscal
year 2010 taxable income including a component for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2010.

ICAHN ENTEPRISES: Closes $2.0 Billion Senior Notes Offering
-----------------------------------------------------------
Icahn Enterprises L.P - Icahn Enterprises L.P., together with
Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp., announced today that they have
consummated their offering of $2.0 billion in aggregate principal
amount of their 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes")
and 8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes" and, together with
the 2016 Notes, the "New Notes").  The New Notes were sold in a
private offering to qualified institutional buyers as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and non-
U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S under
the Securities Act.

Icahn Enterprises used a portion of the proceeds from the offering
to purchase the approximately $1.28 billion in aggregate principal
amount (or approximately 97%) of the 7.125% Senior Notes due 2013
(CUSIP Nos. 029171AD7 and 029171AF2) (the "2013 Notes") and the
8.125% Senior Notes due 2012 (CUSIP No. 029171AC9) (the "2012
Notes" and, together with the 2013 Notes, the "Old Notes") that
were tendered pursuant to the previously announced cash tender
offers and consent solicitations (the "Tender Offers") and to pay
related fees and expenses.  The Tender Offers expire at 12:00
midnight, New York City time, on January 28, 2010.

Jefferies & Company, Inc., acted as sole book-running manager and
initial purchaser for the offering of the New Notes and as sole
dealer manager and solicitation agent for the Tender Offers.

Icahn Enterprises also announced that it consummated the
acquisition of approximately 54% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of American Railcar Industries, Inc., and the
acquisition of approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of Viskase Companies, Inc., in each case, from
affiliates of Carl C. Icahn.  Icahn Enterprises issued
approximately 3.1 million depositary units in connection with the

IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT: Receives NASDAQ Staff Deficiency Letters
-------------------------------------------------------------
Image Entertainment, Inc., had received letters from NASDAQ staff
on January 8, 2010 and January 13, 2010, citing various violations
of NASDAQ Listing Rules most of which are related to the Company's
recently concluded $22 million preferred stock financing.  Those
violations include Listing Rules 5635(d), 5635(b) and 5640
relating to the issuance of 20% or more of the pre-transaction
shares at a discount to market value and effecting a change in
control of the Company without obtaining shareholder approval, and
the issuance of "super-voting stock."  The NASDAQ staff also
stated its belief that the continued listing of the Company, after
it knowingly entered into a transaction in violation of NASDAQ's
shareholder approval and voting rights rules, raises public
interest concerns under Listing Rule 5101 and in that regard, the
continued listing of the Company would erode public confidence in
NASDAQ.  The NASDAQ staff also notified the Company that its
current board of directors that was elected immediately after the
closing of the preferred stock financing does not contain any
independent directors as defined in Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).  As a
result, the Company is in violation of Listing Rules 5605(b)(1),
which requires a majority of independent directors; 5605(c)(2)(A),
which requires an audit committee of three independent directors;
5605(d), which requires determination of executive compensation by
independent directors; and 5605(e), which requires nomination of
directors by independent directors.

As previously announced, the Company is appealing a notice of
delisting from The NASDAQ Global Market.  The NASDAQ staff noted
that the Company's recent violations will be considered by the
Hearings Panel in rendering a determination regarding the
continued listing of the Company's stock on The NASDAQ Global
Market.

The NASDAQ staff also noted that, as previously reported in a Form
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for
approximately 30 days the Company's audit committee consisted of
only two directors, in violation of Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).
That violation has been cured although as discussed above the
current audit committee does not comply with Listing Rule
5605(c)(2)(A).

INTELSAT JACKSON: Bank Debt Trades at 7% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Intelsat Jackson
Holdings is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 92.60
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Jan. 15, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.35
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 300 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
loan facility, which matures on Feb. 5, 2014.  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 168 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Jan. 15.

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

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

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

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


JHCI ACQUISITION: Moody's Gives Stable Outlook, Keeps 'B3' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed JHCI Acquisition, Inc.'s
rating outlook to stable from negative.  In addition, all other
ratings were affirmed, including the B3 corporate family rating.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that JHCI's
earnings and operating margins have been gaining traction over the
past few quarters despite low activity levels by many of its
customers.  While soft economic conditions in the U.S.,
particularly the transportation sector, are expected to persist in
2010, Moody's anticipates JHCI to maintain its earnings momentum
in the near term as 2009 restructuring activities create increased
operating efficiencies.

Further, the stabilization of the ratings outlook reflects Moody's
view that liquidity concerns raised in 2008 have been somewhat
alleviated by the accumulation of cash balances in 2009.  While
Moody's continues to recognize that JHCI would not likely have
access to its revolver due to covenant restrictions, JHCI's strong
cash generation and conservative management of cash balances have
enhanced the company's operating flexibility.

JHCI's B3 corporate family rating continues to reflect the
company's highly levered capital structure, its modest interest
coverage, and exposure to underperforming sectors.  The B3 rating
is supported by the company's relatively stable financial
performance, supported by the long-term nature of dedicated
customer contracts, high cash balances, modest cash flow
generation, and an extended debt maturity profile.

These ratings were affirmed:

* Corporate Family Rating of B3;

* Probability of Default Rating of B3;

* Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of B1 (LGD3, 32%)

* Senior Secured Term Loan of B1 (LGD3, 32%)

* Senior Secured Second Lien Notes of Caa2 (LGD5, 82%) -- point
  estimate revision from Caa2 (LGD5, 81%)

The last rating action on JHCI was on June 11, 2008, when Moody's
lowered its corporate family rating to B3 from B2 and changed the
outlook to negative.

JHCI's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors Moody's believe
are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as i)
scale, diversity and competitive position, ii) revenue
concentration iii) cost structure and profitability and iv)
financial policies, including liquidity and acquisition risk.
These attributes were compared against other issuers both within
and outside of JHCI's core industry and JHCI's ratings are
believed to be comparable to those of other issuers of similar
credit risk.

JHCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JHCI Holdings, Inc., the
vehicle majority owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners, created to
effect the acquisition of Jacobson Holding Co.  and the 2007
merger of Arnold Logistics, LLC.  JHCI operates its businesses
using the Jacobson Companies name.

Jacobson Companies, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, is a
leading national third-party logistics company that provides value
added warehousing, packaging, contract manufacturing, staffing,
contract logistics, transportation and freight management
services.

KPT ENTERPRISES: Wants Lift Stay to Seize Trucks & Trailers
-----------------------------------------------------------
Commercial Credit Group Inc., a creditor and party-in-interest in
KPT Enterprises, LLC's bankruptcy case, has asked the Eastern
District of Tennessee for relief from the automatic stay,
including termination of the stay, to permit CCG to take
possession of certain trucks and trailers in the custody and
control of the Debtor or, in the alternative, for adequate
protection of its properly-perfected security interest in the
equipment and proceeds there from.

CCG is a creditor of the Debtor by virtue of an equipment loan
evidenced by a security agreement (the Security Agreement) and
promissory note (the Promissory Note), each dated December 19,
2008, under which Debtor is required to remit monthly installment
payments to CCG totaling $1,074,420.

Under the Security Agreement, the Debtor financed with CCG these
equipment:

     a. Twenty-five 2004 Great Dane 741IT-SSLA 53' X 102" Dry Van
        Trailers; and

     b. Nineteen 2005 Volvo VNL64T670 Tractor Trucks with Full
        Integral Sleeper, Cummins ISX CM870 475HP Engine, Eaton
        Puller RTP 10 Speed Transmission.

CCG perfected its security interest in the Equipment and proceeds
there from by filing a UCC-Financing Statement with the Tennessee
Secretary of State on December 30, 2008.  CCG's security interests
and liens are also noted as a first priority lien on each
certificate of title to the Equipment.

Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, the Debtor was to
make 30 monthly payments of $35,814 commencing on January 19,
2009.  As of December 30, 2009, the Debtor owed CCG $688,347.34
under the Promissory Note.

The Equipment is being used post-petition by non-debtor,
Morristown Drivers Service, Inc., and the Equipment continues to
depreciate in value.  As CCG's security interest expressly extends
to "proceeds" of the Equipment, the amounts generated by the non-
debtor's use of Debtor's Equipment are also subject to CCG's
security interest.  CCG is therefore entitled to an accounting of
the postpetition generation and use of the proceeds of the
Equipment, as well as adequate protection of such interest.

Since the Equipment is in the possession and being used by
Morristown Drivers, there is also a question as to whether the
Equipment is adequately insured.  "Debtor has not shown that
Morristown Drivers Service, Inc. is the 'insured' party under a
policy of insurance which specifically covers the Equipment.
Without such coverage, CCG is exposed to irreparable harm," CCG
says.

According to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral, the
Debtor has valued CCG's Equipment at $927,000.  The Debtor
estimates that each of the 25 trailers is worth $12,000 and each
of the 19 trucks is worth $33,000.  The Debtor has provided no
evidence to support its valuations, and CCG disputes the
valuations.

CCG estimates that each of the 25 trailers is worth $7,500 and
each of the 19 trucks is worth $17,500, totaling $725,000.  The
valuation provides CCG with an equity cushion of 5%.

The Debtor further contends, without support, that its entire
inventory of equipment which it values at $6,065,000 depreciates
at a rate of only $10,000 per month, which amounts to a
depreciation rate of approximately one tenth of 0.1% per month.
CCG disputes the Debtor's estimated rate of depreciation.

The Debtor's motion to use cash collateral proposes to make
adequate protection payments to CCG in the amount of $3,000 per
month.  CCG claims that the Debtor's proposed adequate protection
payments are wholly insufficient in that they do not cover
depreciation or interest.

"The Debtor's proposed payments do not adequately protect CCG's
interest because the Equipment continues to decline in value at a
rate far higher than the Debtor's estimated rate of depreciation,"
CCG states.   CCG is entitled to relief from the automatic stay in
order to enforce its security interest in the Equipment under
applicable nonbankruptcy law because CCG's interest is not
adequately protected.

CCG requests that, after notice and hearing, this Court grant CCG
relief from the automatic stay to permit CCG to take possession of
the Equipment and to liquidate the Equipment pursuant to the
Tennessee Uniform Commercial Code.

Alternatively, that this Court order the Debtor, Morristown
Drivers and any others in possession of any item of Equipment, to
discontinue further use of the Equipment until the Debtor has
provided CCG with adequate protection payments at least equal the
amount of depreciation in the Equipment resulting from Debtor's
continued use.

CCG is represented by Rachel E. Ralston at Hunter, Smith & Davis,
LLP.

LABRANCHE & CO: Moody's Gives Positive Outlook on 'B2' Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed to positive from stable the
rating outlook of LaBranche & Co Inc. LaBranche's senior unsecured
rating is B2.

The rating action reflects the expected improvement in the
LaBranche's financial flexibility following the announced sale of
its NYSE designated market-maker business to Barclays, and the
decision to retire all of its outstanding debt of approximately
$190 million, which had an original maturity of 2012.

The repayment of the debt will be financed with cash on hand.
When the sale is completed, LaBranche will have access to
$76 million of net capital released from the DMM entity.
Following the retirement of its senior debt, LaBranche will
realize $21 million in annual interest savings.  The debt
repayment will de-lever the company as well improve its financial
flexibility.

At the same time, Moody's noted, the company's B2 rating continues
to reflect the uncertainty around the long-term prospects of its
remaining businesses, which include ETF and options market-making,
and institutional brokerage.  Although these businesses have been
generally profitable, their long-term competitiveness and earnings
potential may be challenged by LaBranche's smaller scale and more
modest financial resources compared to many of its larger
competitors.  As revenue capture rates in the securities trading
business continue to compress, the importance of scale and
sustained technological investment will continue to increase.  The
extent to which LaBranche is able to successfully compete and
thrive in this environment, particularly in periods of cyclically
low trading volumes, will remain a critical ratings driver.

The last rating action on LaBranche was on October 2, 2007, when
Moody's downgraded the company to B2 from B1 and assigned a stable
outlook.

LaBranche is a New York based securities firm that reported
$78 million in net revenue and $44 million in pre-tax loss in the
first nine months of 2009.


LAS VEGAS MONORAIL: Wells Fargo Joins Ambac, Seeks Case Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its role as trustee under the senior
indenture governing The Las Vegas Monorail's first tier and second
tier tax-exempt bonds, has filed documents supporting Ambac
Assurance Company's request to dismissal the Chapter 11 case.

According to NetDockets, Wells Fargo asserts that Monorail's only
options to restructure its debts are to do so consensually or to
do so in a chapter 9 case if "LVMC convinces the Nevada
legislature to grant it authority to file a Chapter 9 case."
According to NetDockets, Wells Fargo states that the issue
"matters to the Trustee because Congress intended for holders of
government-issued bonds to have special protections and rights in
any bankruptcy case filed by an entity like LVMC, including:

    * The automatic stay does not apply to application of pledged
      special revenues. 11 U.S.C. Section 922(d).

    * Payments to or for the benefit of bondholders may not be
      avoided. 11 U.S.C. Section 926(b).

    * Security interests in special revenues acquired by the
      debtor postpetition remain effective notwithstanding
      11 U.S.C. Section 552(a), subject to necessary operating
      expenses. 11 U.S.C. Section 928(a).

By attempting to file for protection under chapter 11 instead,
Wells Fargo, NetDockets says, asserts that the company is
attempting to "circumvent" the protections provided to holders of
government bonds under chapter 9.

The Troubled Company Reporter ran a story Friday on Monorail's
Chapter 11 filing and Ambac's Dismissal request.

LBJ LAKEFRONT: Foreclosure Sought by Lenders on Texas Property
--------------------------------------------------------------
American Bank of Texas, N.A. -- holder of six promissory notes
executed by the LBJ Lakefront, Inc. -- and Compass Bank, the
noteholder of a promissory note executed by Kenneth G. Martin,
payable to Compass Bank, have filed a motion with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, seeking to
terminate the automatic stay, to each foreclose on the Debtor's
property in or around Horseshoe Bay, Texas.

The American Bank debt matured a year ago, while the Compass Bank
debt matured on July 12, 2009.  Both banks haven't received any
payments on the debt.  Both Compass Bank and American Bank claim
that the Debtor filed for bankruptcy in bad faith.  The Debtor
hasn't offered any adequate protection payments to both banks.

It is anticipated that the Debtor will rely on American Bank's
alleged "equity cushion" and will attempt to propose a plan
previously characterized by counsel as "dirt for debt."

While the Debtor is not a "new debtor" in the sense that it is not
newly-created, unquestionably it is the new owner of the Property
by virtue of a deed from The Kenneth G. and Karen Jo Martin
Revocable Living Trust, an event stemming from a transparent
attempt to thwart a scheduled foreclosure sale.

Based on the testimony of Kenneth and Karen Martin, the trustees
of the Living Trust, the Debtor has no current business
operations, no office or employees other than the Martins.  While
the Debtor's financial condition is poor, that is a result of its
own conduct, says American Bank.  The assets involved in the
bankruptcy case consist primarily of the Horeshoe Bay property
that was recently transferred from the Living Trust (after its
bankruptcy case was dismissed) to the Debtor for the sole purpose
of filing this bankruptcy case and shielding the Property from
foreclosure.

Jack M. Kuykendall represents Compass Bank, while Fulbright &
Jaworski L.L.P. represents American Bank.

Morristown, Tennessee-based KPT Enterprises, LLC, owns certain
over-the-road tractors and trailer rigs which it utilizes in
hauling freight on a commercial basis.  The Company filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 30, 2009 (Bankr. E.D.
Tenn. Case No. 09-53521).  Dean B. Farmer, Esq., at Hodges,
Doughty & Carson PLLC, assists the Company in its restructuring
effort.  The Company listed $10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in assets
and $1,000,001 to $10,000,000 in liabilities.

host of insurers over damage caused by Hurricane Rita in 2005 to
the company's Gulf Coast facilities, Law360 reports.

                      About Lyondell Chemical

LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,

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,

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.

affiliate were voluntarily added to Lyondell Chemical's
reorganization filing under Chapter 11 on April 24, 2009, in order

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.

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Creditors Want Examiner's Role Expanded
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Lyondell Chemical Co.'s cases
wants to expand the role of the examiner to include an
investigation into how the company is dealing with a competing
offer from India's Reliance Industries Ltd.

The Committee will also be asking approval at the Jan. 19 hearing
of its request that payment of expenses for the first-lien lenders
be cut off. The committee contends it's now clear that the senior
secured lenders aren't fully secured.

MAGNUM D'OR: Weinberg & Company Raises Going Concern Doubt
----------------------------------------------------------
Weinberg & Company, P.A., in Boca Raton, Florida, expressed
substantial doubt about Magnum d'Or Resources, Inc. and
subsidiaries' ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and
for the years ended Septemer 30, 2009, and 2008.

The independent public accounting firm reported that the Company
has recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from
operations and a working capital deficit.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had total assets of
$11,210,977, comprised of $57,844 in cash, $19,708 in receivables,
$6,997,207 in inventory, $66,550 in liens, $408,311 in prepaid
expenses, and $3,242,466 in property, plant and equipment.  In
addition, the company has a working capital deficit of $3,704,149,
and a negative cash flow form operations of $1,740,446.

In contrast, at September 30, 2008, the Company had total assets
of $1,364,941, comprised of $510,042 in cash, $36,228 in prepaid
expenses, $131,042 in deposits on equipment and $687,629 in
equipment.  In addition, the company had a working capital of
$157,427, and a negative cash flow from operations of $120,449.

The increase in assets is due primarily to the acquisition of the
Hudson, Colorado site, inventory, and property, plant and
equipment, while the increase in capital deficit is due to
additional debt financing activities.

The Company reported a net loss of $37,316,062 on sales of $85,070
for the year ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of
$2,607,352 on no sales for the year ended September 30, 2008.

The increased loss was due to higher operating expenses that were
mainly attributed to an increase in consulting services, and to a
lesser extent, other professional services and accrued interest
expense.

The Company incurred consulting fees of $29,707,594 in fiscal
2009.  This compares to consulting fees of $1,968,700 in the
previous fiscal period.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed total assets of $11,210,977, total liabilities of
$5,821,495, and total stockholders' equity of $5,389,482.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2009,
also showed strained liquidity with $577,922 in total current
assets available to pay $4,282,071 in total current liabilities.

MARKETING WORLDWIDE: Auditors Raise Going Concern Doubt
-------------------------------------------------------
RBSM LLP, in New York, expressed substantial doubt about Marketing
Worldwise Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern
after audting the Company's consolidated financial statements as
of and for the years ended Septmeber 30, 2009, and 2008.  The
independent public accounting firm said that the Company has
generated negative cash outflows from operating activities,
experienced recurring net operating losses, is in default of loan
certain covenants, and is dependent on securing additional equity
and debt financing to support its business efforts.

The Company reported a net loss of $2,915,622 on total revenue of
$4,507,941 for the year ended September 30, 2009, compared to a
net loss of $2,275,188 on total revenue of $8,305,661 for fiscal
2008.

The Company attributed the significant decrease in net revenues to
the severe economic downturn of the auto industry.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $5,122,127 in total assets, $4,264,028 in total
liabilities, and $3,499,950 in Series A convertible preferred
stock, resulting in a $2,641,851 shareholders' deficit.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets also showed strained
liquidity with $1,603,105 in total current assets available to pay
$4,242,781 in total current liabilities.

preserving, maintaining and operating the cash collateral
properties, any excess income may be utilized by any other Debtor

lien against the unencumbered real properties, to the extent of
the diminution in the value of their separate interests in their
collateral arising from the use of cash collateral.  As additional
protection, each cash collateral creditor is granted a replacement
lien upon its respective collateral with the same extent as the
pre-petition liens held by each cash collateral creditor.

MESA AIR: Proposes Jones Day as Special Counsel
-----------------------------------------------
Debtors Mesa Air Group, Inc. and Freedom Airlines, Inc., and
Delta Air Lines, Inc., are parties to the Delta Connection
Agreement dated May 3, 2005, as amended on March 13, 2007, and
March 10, 2009.  The ERJ Agreement provides for operation by
Freedom Airlines of up to 36 ERJ-145 50-seat regional jet
aircraft for Delta.  In addition, Mesa, Freedom Airlines and
Delta are parties to a certain Delta Connection Agreement dated
March 13, 2007.  The CRJ Agreement provides for operation by
Freedom Airlines of 14 CRJ-900 76-seat regional jet aircraft for
Delta.

Mesa and Freedom Airlines initiated a lawsuit against Delta on
April 7, 2008, in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Georgia to enjoin Delta's alleged
termination of the ERJ Agreement.  The case is captioned "Mesa
Air Group, Inc. and Freedom Airlines, Inc. v. Delta Air Lines,
Inc.," Case No. 1:08-CV-1334-CC.

Delta appealed the Georgia District Court's issuance of the
preliminary injunction in favor of Mesa and Freedom Airlines.  In
July 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
affirmed the Georgia District Court's decision in the ERJ
Litigation.  A trial date has not yet been set by the Georgia
District Court.

On March 20, 2009, Mesa and Freedom Airlines filed a complaint in
the Georgia District Court against Delta for the relief from the
termination of the CRJ Agreement.  The case is captioned "Mesa
Air Group, Inc. and Freedom Airlines, Inc. v. Delta Air Lines,
Inc.," Case No. 1:09-CV-0772-ODE.

By the CRJ Litigation, Mesa and Freedom Airlines are seeking
money damages resulting from Delta's wrongful termination of the
CRJ Agreement.  In the original complaint initiating the CRJ
Litigation, Mesa and Freedom Airlines asserted damages in the
total amount of between $8,000,000 and $15,000,000; however, as a
result of updated damages calculations, the Debtors currently
believe the damages could be as high as $40,000,000.  The CRJ
Litigation remains pending.

According to Michael J. Lotz, the Debtors' president, Mesa is
also involved in other pending litigation with Delta, including:

  (a) On August 6, 2008, Mesa filed a complaint against Delta in
      the U.S District Court for the District of Arizona after
      Delta's unauthorized retention of seven aircraft engines,
      which case is captioned "Mesa Air Group, Inc. v. Delta Air
      Lines, Inc.," Case No. 2:08-CV -01449-DGC -- Engine
      Litigation; and

  (b) Delta initiated an action against Mesa and Freedom
      Airlines in the Georgia District Court on August 19, 2009,
      alleging that Mesa and Freedom Airlines breached the ERJ
      Agreement regarding a "most favored nation" provision,
      which case is captioned "Delta Air Lines, Inc. v. Mesa Air
      Group, Inc. and Freedom Airlines, Inc.," Case No.1 :09-CV-
      2267-CC -- Base Rate Litigation.

In addition, Mesa is a defendant in an action for declaratory
relief initiated by United Airlines, Inc. before the Petition
Date.  On November 23, 2009, United commenced a declaratory
judgment action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, which case is captioned "United Air Lines,
Inc. v. Mesa Air Group, Inc.," Case No. 1:09-CY -07352.

Pursuant to Section 327(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, Rules 2014 and
2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and Rules
2014-1 and 2016-1 of the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, the
Debtors seek the Court's authority to employ, nunc pro tunc to
the Petition Date, Jones Day as their special counsel with
respect to the Prepetition Litigation and any related or similar
litigation.

The Debtors' code-share relationships, and other business
relationships, with Delta, United and US Airways, Inc., serve as
the foundation of the Debtors' business operations and are
critical to the success of their restructuring efforts, Mr. Lotz
tells the Court.  Preserving and defending these relationships,
and related rights and claims, will be a critical component of
the Debtors' overall restructuring in these cases, he asserts.

Under the circumstances, as a fundamental component of their
reorganization, the Debtors are compelled to promptly pursue
claims against Delta, and to defend claims asserted, or to be
asserted, by Delta or United in connection with the Prepetition
Litigation and any related or similar litigation, Mr. Lotz says.

As Special Counsel, Jones Day will:

  (a) advice and counsel the Debtors on all aspects of the
      Prepetition Litigation;

  (b) represent the Debtors in any litigation or contested
      matter related to the Prepetition Litigation, and perform
      all other necessary legal services in furtherance of the
      firm's role as special counsel for the Debtors with
      respect to the Prepetition Litigation;

  (c) perform other specific litigation-related services, as
      requested by the Debtors; and

  (d) assist the Debtors' bankruptcy professiona1s from time to
      time in connection with any issues relating to the
      Prepetition Litigation or other similar or related
      matters.

Jones Day will be paid its customary hourly rates and reimbursed
for its actual and necessary expenses incurred in connection with
performing the Services.  The current hourly rates of the
attorneys and paraprofessionals currently expected to be most
active with respect to the Prepetition Litigation and the
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases are:

         G. Lee Garrett, Jr., partner          $675
         David M. Monde, partner               $625
         Morgan Hirst, associate               $525
         Paula Quist, associate                $500
         Robert Schmoll, associate             $400
         Jason Burnette, associate             $325
         Kacy Romig, associate                 $325
         Megan Taylor, associate               $275
         Trixie Jones, paralegal               $200
         Jeff Grogan, trial practice project   $150
           coordinator

Jones Day will also be reimbursed by the Debtors of any necessary
out-of-pocket expenses.

G. Lee Garrett, Jr., a partner at Jones Day, assures the Court
that the firm has not, does not, and will not represent any
entities other than the Debtors in matters related to the
Prepetition Litigation or these Chapter 11 cases.  Jones Day will
not represent any entity adverse to the Debtors in connection
with these Chapter 11 cases, the Prepetition Litigation or
otherwise.

Mr. Garrett discloses that the firm represented or currently
represents these entities in matters unrelated to the Debtors,
these bankruptcy cases, or the Prepetition Litigation:

    * Delta;
    * Wells Fargo Bank NW, N.A.; and
    * Airline Reporting Corporation.

The Debtors are estimated to owe Jones Day $10,743 for services
performed before the Petition Date.  However, Jones Day is not
seeking to collect this amount from the Debtors or their estates,
Mr. Garrett says.

He attests that Jones Day is a disinterested person, as the term
is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The New York Post, citing multiple sources, said discussions
between debtholders and equity owners on a restructuring of Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer's massive debt load have begun on a contentious
note, with both sides threatening to force MGM into bankruptcy in
order to gain leverage and extract better terms from the other.

Bloomberg also said that MGM is in talks to skip interest payments
and restructure $3.7 billion in bank loans.  MGM asked creditors
to waive $12 million monthly interest payments until Feb. 15,
2010.

MOMENTIVE PERFORMANCE: Bank Debt Trades at 8% Off
-------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Momentive
Performance Materials is a borrower traded in the secondary market
at 91.65 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday,
Jan. 15, 2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 1.75 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The Company pays 250 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank loan matures on Dec. 5, 2013,
and carries Moody's B1 rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+ rating.
The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 168 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Jan. 15.

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

As of June 28, 2009, Momentive had $3.41 billion in total assets
on $3.96 billion in total liabilities, resulting in $551.8 billion
in stockholders' deficit.

The Troubled Company Reporter said September 28, 2009, that
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed all its ratings on
Momentive Performance Materials and its subsidiaries on
CreditWatch with positive implications, including the 'CCC-'
corporate credit rating on Momentive Performance Materials.  S&P
believes it is likely that the waiver, together with improving
operating performance, significantly reduces the likelihood of a
near-term covenant breach.  Quarterly EBITDA has been climbing
steadily since reaching a low of about $15 million (as calculated
for bank covenant purposes) in the first quarter of 2009.  It was
$64 million in the second quarter, and management expects it to be
between $84 million and $94 million in the third quarter.


MOVIE GALLERY: May Close 1,000 Stores; In Talks with Liquidators
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sources told The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector and Peter
Lattman that Movie Gallery Inc. could close about 1,000 stores as
it embarks on its second major restructuring in a little more than
two years.

Movie Gallery has 2,700 video-rental locations across the U.S.
The Journal says Movie Gallery is struggling under some $600
million in debt and a continued decline in the store-based video-
rental business.

The Journal relates Movie Gallery has yet to decide on the number
of store closures as it weighs its restructuring options.  Closing
about 1,000 outlets is one of several options under discussion.
Sources told the Journal Movie Gallery has already asked
liquidators to bid for the inventory at an undisclosed number of
its stores.

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

The closings would accelerate the decline of the movie-rental
store business, which has suffered as consumers shift to
alternatives such as Redbox, a unit of Coinstar Inc. that operates
movie-vending machines in grocery stores and McDonald's Corp.
restaurants. Netflix Inc., which rents movies by mail and online,
has dented the traditional movie-rental business.

One source told the Journal the expected closings are part of
broader discussions between Movie Gallery and its lenders.  The
person familiar with the matter said the discussions are in the
early stages and no decisions have been made.  One possibility is
that Movie Gallery could file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
reorganization in coming months, said source told the Journal.

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

                        About Movie Gallery

entertainment specialty retailer serving urban, rural and suburban

business.

top U.S.-supplier of unit dose pharmaceuticals.

Mylan also owns a controlling interest in Matrix Laboratories, one
of the world's premier suppliers of active pharmaceutical
ingredients.  Mylan also has a European platform through
Docpharma, a Matrix subsidiary, which is a marketer of branded
generics in Europe.  The company also has a production facility in
Puerto Rico.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 25, 2009,
Standard & Poor's said it raised its corporate credit rating on
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based Mylan, Inc., to 'BB' from 'BB-'.
S&P also raised the senior secured rating to 'BB+' from 'BB', the
senior unsecured rating to 'BB-' from 'B+', and the preferred
stock rating to 'B' from 'B-'.  The outlook is stable.


NATIONAL BEEF: Moody's Withdraws 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service will withdraw National Beef Packing Co.
LLC's B2 corporate family and probability of default ratings as
well as its Caa1 senior notes rating as a result of the company's
redemption of its remaining senior notes.

Ratings to be withdrawn:

* Corporate family rating at B2
* Probability of default rating at B2
* 10.50% senior unsecured notes due 2011 at Caa1 (LGD5, 90%)

Moody's most recent rating action on January 14, 2009, changed
National Beef's outlook to stable from negative and affirmed all
other ratings.

National Beef Packing Company, LLC, headquartered in Kansas City,
Missouri, is a processor of fresh beef products.  The company also
provides refrigerated transportation services.  Revenues for the
last 12 months ended November 29, 2009, were approximately
$5.4 billion.


NCO GROUP: Bank Debt Trades at 2% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which NCO Group, Inc.,
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 98.25 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Jan. 15, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.13 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company
pays 300 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank loan matures on Oct. 25, 2013, and carries Moody's Ba3
rating and Standard & Poor's B rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 168 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for the week
ended Jan. 15.

As Reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 29, 2009,
Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on NCO Group, Inc.'s senior
secured credit facility to 'B' from 'B+' and revised its recovery
rating to '3' from '2', indicating S&P's expectation of a
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B' long-term
counterparty credit rating on NCO.  The outlook is negative.  The
negative outlook reflects the potential for continued pressure on
financial results because of the difficult collections
environment.  If this or other circumstances cause NCO to
underperform further, relative to S&P's expectations, S&P will
lower the rating.  If circumstances stabilize, S&P will change the
outlook to stable.

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


NEENAH FOUNDRY: Ernst & Young Raises Going Concern Doubt
--------------------------------------------------------
Ernst & Young LLP, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, expressed substantial
doubt about Neenah Foundry Company and subsidiaries' ability to
continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended
September 30, 2009, and 2008.  The independent public accounting
firm pointed to the Company's recurring losses and lack of
liquidity.

The Company failed to satisfy its minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio under the 2006 Credit Facility with respect to its 2009
fiscal year.  On November 10, 2009, the borrowers under the 2006
Credit Facility entered into a forbearance agreement with the
lenders of the 2006 Credit Facility.  Pursuant to the forbearance
agreement, the lenders agreed to, among other things, forbear from
exercising certain of the lenders' rights and remedies in respect
of or arising out of certain specified defaults that had occurred
as of November 10, 2009, and that are expected to occur during the
effective period of the forbearance agreement

Effective December 23, 2009, the lenders agreed to, among other
things, waive certain additional specified defaults and extend the
expiration date of the forbearance agreement to January 15, 2010.
In the event the lenders under the 2006 Credit Facility cause the
amounts borrowed to become due and immediately payable, the 9 1/2%
Notes and 12 1/2% Notes would also become due and immediately
payable.

In addition, the Company has not made the interest payments due
January 1, 2010, on its 9 1/2% Notes and 12 1/2% Notes and may not
be able to make such payments prior to the expiration of the
applicable grace period.

          Reports $149.9 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2009

The Company reported a net loss of $149.9 million on net sales of
$333.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, compared to
a net loss of $12.0 million on net sales of $510.8 million in the
corresponding period ended September 30, 2008.

Net sales was 34.8% lower than the year ended September 30, 2008.
Sales volume, as measured in tons sold, was down 35.0%.

Operating loss was $139.6 million for the year ended September 30,
2009, as compared to an operating income of $15.2 million for the
year ended September 30, 2008.  The Company attributes the
decrease in operating results to a goodwill impairment charge for
the entire goodwill balance of $88.1 million, reduced sales
volumes, and the additional depreciation charges related to long-
lived assets and shutdown related costs at the Kendallville
Facility and the Gregg Facility.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $286.6 million in total assets and $449.4 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $162.8 million shareholders' deficit.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2009,
also showed strained liquidity with $99.4 million in total current
assets available to pay $101.9 million in total current
liabilities.

NEW TIMES MEDIA: SF Bay Guardian Mulls Involuntary Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News's Phil Milford and Greg Bensinger report that New
Times Media LLC, which merged with the Village Voice newspaper's
parent company in 2006, might face bankruptcy proceedings after
losing a $15.9 million judgment for ad-price manipulation.

Bloomberg relates New Times, an affiliate of Village Voice Media
LLC, sued West Coast rival Bay Guardian Co., asking a judge to
rule it doesn't have to pay the judgment in a dispute over
advertising rates in San Francisco-area alternative papers,
according to a complaint made public Jan. 14 in Delaware Chancery
Court.

According to Bloomberg, Tim Redmond, the San Francisco Bay
Guardian's executive editor, said the Village Voice has not paid
the judgment.  He told Bloomberg in a phone interview that the
judgment has risen to $21 million, with interest.

Mr. Redmond told Bloomberg the ruling gives Bay Guardian a lien on
all the Village Voice group's newspaper properties.  Mr. Redmond
said Bay Guardian is considering petitioning to put the Village
Voice chain into involuntary bankruptcy to collect the debt.

According to Bloomberg, Randall Farrimond, an attorney
representing New Times Media and two affiliates named in the
original suit, said a forced bankruptcy wasn't possible. "It is
simply ludicrous to suggest that any of the companies that are not
parties to the California action might somehow be facing
bankruptcy as a result of that judgment," Mr. Farrimond said in a
letter, according to Bloomberg.  Mr. Farrimond said any lien would
apply only to the holding companies named in the original suit.
"It does not extend to the property of any other newspapers," he
said.

Jay Adkisson, a lawyer representing Bay Guardian, told Bloomberg
in a phone interview that while Village Voice Media claims it only
has enough assets to pay $80 million to lenders led by Bank of
Montreal, he believes it can afford to pay the judgment based on
court records showing it had $191 million in assets at the end of
2007.

Mr. Farrimond, Bloomberg relates, said assets of Village Voice
Media outside of California weren't subject to the original
ruling.  New Times Media has a pending appeal in California and
won't pay the amount of the judgment before the appeal has run its
course, he said.



NOVELIS INC: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off in Secondary Market
-----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Novelis, Inc., is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 94.38 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, Jan. 15, 2010, 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
matures on July 6, 2014.  The Company pays 200 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt is not rated by
Moody's while it carries Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The debt
is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 168 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Jan. 15.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 19, 2009,
Moody's changed the outlook for Novelis, Inc., and Novelis
Corporation to stable from negative.  The speculative grade
liquidity rating of Novelis, Inc., was also upgraded to SGL-2 from
SGL-3.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed Novelis Inc's B2
corporate family rating, its B2 probability of default rating, the
Ba3 rating on its senior secured term loan, and the Caa1 senior
unsecured notes rating.  The Ba3 rating on Novelis Corporation's
senior secured term loan was also affirmed.

The change in outlook to stable reflects Moody's expectation that
Novelis will continue to show improvement in its earnings and cash
flow generation given the renegotiation of all of its can sheet
contracts, cost cutting efforts and the run off of virtually all
its hedge loss position.  The outlook anticipates that the company
will continue to focus on cash generation and liquidity and that
its performance will continue to benefit from the more robust
conditions in its can sheet business, which accounts for roughly
50% to 60% of sales.  Although Moody's does not expect that the
company will meaningfully reduce absolute debt levels over the
next twelve to fifteen months, the outlook reflects Moody's belief
that debt protection coverage ratios will continue to strengthen
as the company returns to a sustainable level of profitability.

Moody's last rating action on Novelis was Aug. 5, 2009, when the
company's senior unsecured ratings were downgraded to Caa1 from
B3.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Novelis is the world's largest
producer of aluminum rolled products.  For the twelve months ended
Sept. 30, 2009, the company had total shipments of approximately
2,725 kilotonnes and generated $8.2 billion in revenues.

PETROHUNTER ENERGY: Eide Bailly Raises Going Concern Doubt
----------------------------------------------------------
Eide Bailly LLP, in Greenwood Village, Colorado, expressed
substantial doubt about PetroHunter Energy Corporation'a ability
to continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the years ended
September 30, 2009, and 2008.

The independent public accounting firm reported that the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $279,219,000 and net loss of
$129,731,000 for the year ending September 30, 2009, and as of
that date has a working capital deficit of $64,934,000.

The Company reported a net loss of $129,731,000 on total revenues
of $128,000 for the year ended September 30, 2009, compared to a
net loss of $76,866,000 on total revenues of $2,180,000 for the
year ended September 30, 2008.

During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded
impairment expense of $90,404,000, and during the year ended
September 30, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment of
$30,847,000.  The increase in impairment oil and gas properties
was due to the impairment of the remaining book value of the U.S.
full cost pool due to unsuccessful exploration activity and the
Company's inability to fund additional exploration.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $5,537,000 in total assets and $68,800,000 in total
liabilities, resulting in a $63,263,000 shareholders' deficit.

PH GLATFELTER: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'Ba2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed P. H. Glatfelter's Ba2
corporate family and senior unsecured debt ratings, and the stable
rating outlook following the company entering into a definitive
agreement to acquire Concert Industries Corporation, a
manufacturer of highly absorbent cellulose-based airlaid non-woven
materials.

The rating action reflects the expectation that the acquisition
will not materially change Glatfelter's credit risk profile.
Glatfelter intends to fund the transaction using a combination of
cash on hand, new debt and borrowings under its current revolving
credit facility.  The acquisition is valued at CND$246.5 million
(approximately $235 million) and as at November 30, 2009,
Glatfelter had about $135 million in cash and $194 million
available under its revolving credit facility due April 2011.  In
the short term, with debt increasing by a greater proportion than
cash flow, credit protection metrics are expected to weaken
slightly.  However, credit protection metrics at the current
rating have enough cushion to absorb the increased leverage.
Proforma Debt to EBITDA leverage is expected to increase
approximately one-half turn and is estimated to be around 3 times
at closing.  Glatfelter's liquidity will decline as cash on hand
and revolver drawings will be used to partially fund the
acquisition.  However, the company is expected to continue
generating positive free cash flow over the next several quarters
and also expects to receive additional funds from alternative fuel
tax credits accrued in 2009.  While execution risks related to
successfully integrating the acquisition exist, Concert's use of
technology familiar to Glatfelter and its participation in markets
that are adjacent to those Glatfelter partially mitigates some of
the risks.

Glatfelter's Ba2 corporate family rating reflects the company's
leading market position in niche segments of the specialty paper
markets, the company's timberland holdings whose sale proceeds may
be used for debt reduction and the company's limited exposure to
commodity products.  Offsetting these strengths is the decreasing
demand for some of the company's paper products due to electronic
substitution and competition from other grades of paper, the
company's relatively small size, and the company's exposure to
potential contingencies associated with environmental issues.  The
declining demand for the company's products such as carbonless
papers requires the company to continually invest to develop new
products and business initiatives.

The acquisition of Concert provides Glatfelter with the
opportunity to expand its product and geographic diversification,
further its technological capabilities, and improve its operating
margins and earnings stability.  Concert holds the leading market
share positions in the air-laid non-woven feminine hygiene, adult
incontinence, food pads and specialty wipes product segments.  The
acquisition will provide additional growth opportunities for
Glatfelter, particularly in Asian, Central and Eastern European
and South American markets.  Concert's airlaid technology
complements Glatfelter's leading wetlaid non-woven technology and
both companies share a track record of product innovation and new
business development.  With some of Glatfelter's existing products
such as carbonless paper and book publishing paper in decline, the
addition of slightly higher margin products which are expected to
continue to grow over the next few years should help improve the
company's overall margins and earnings stability.

Moody's last rating action was on October 18, 2007, when the
corporate family and senior unsecured debt ratings of Glatfelter
were downgraded to Ba2 from Ba1.

Headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, Glatfelter is a manufacturer
of specialty papers and engineered products.  The North American
based Specialty Papers business includes papers used for book
publishing, envelope and lightweight printing, carbonless paper
and engineered products used for digital printing, graphics
applications, signage and labeling.  The European based Composite
Fibers business includes tea bags, coffee filters, laminate
flooring and counter tops.

PHILADELPHIA NEWSPAPERS: Rejects Deal with McClatchy
----------------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Newspapers LLC and its units obtained approval from
the Bankruptcy Court to reject an asset purchase agreement and
related agreements with McClatchy Company.

McClatchy and PMH executed the APA on May 23, 2006.  The APA
provided for the purchase by PMH of stock and certain other assets
of McClatchy. In exchange for these assets, PMH: (a) paid
McClatchy approximately $515 million in cash; and (b) assumed
certain liabilities of McClatchy.  McClatchy and PMH substantially
consummated the APA in 2006; PMH made the cash payment and
McClatchy transferred to PMH the stock and other assets purchased.

In connection with the Sale, McClatchy and the Debtors executed
the Assumption Agreement, pursuant to which Debtors other than PMH
expressly assumed the Assumed Liabilities and became parties to
the APA.

The Assumed Liabilities included, among other things, payment of
historical workers' compensation and other insurance claims that
were incurred in or before 2006, but, as of the execution of the
APA, were not liquidated as to liability and amount.  Each month
from the closing of the Sale and the effectiveness of the
Assumption Agreement through the Petition Date, McClatchy provided
the Debtors with a schedule of Assumed Liabilities that had been
liquidated as to liability and amount and the Debtors paid such
claims.

In connection with the APA, the Debtors executed myriad APA
Agreements other than the APA and the Assumption Agreement.  To
the extent that any of the APA Agreements may be executory
contracts for purposes of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Debtors sought to reject them.

                       About The McClatchy

The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) -- http://www.mcclatchy.com/--
is the third largest newspaper company in the United States, with
31 daily newspapers and approximately 50 non-dailies. McClatchy-
owned newspapers include The Miami Herald, The Sacramento Bee, the
(Fort Worth) Star-Telegram, The Kansas City Star, The Charlotte
Observer, and The (Raleigh) News & Observer.

At September 27, 2009, the Company had $3,325,395,000 in total
assets against $275,532,000 in total current assets and
$2,947,256,000 in total non-current liabilities.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on January 14, 2010,
Fitch Ratings has placed The McClatchy Company's Issuer Default
Rating of 'C' on Watch Positive:  In addition, Fitch has affirmed
these ratings:

  -- Senior secured credit facility at 'C/RR4';
  -- Senior secured term loan at 'C/RR4;
  -- Senior unsecured guaranteed notes at 'C/RR6';
  -- Senior unsecured notes/debentures at 'C/RR6'.

Approximately $2 billion of debt is affected by this action.

The Positive Watch reflects the improved capital markets and the
company's planned bank amendments, as the prospects of refinancing
have improved.  Proposed refinancing actions could potentially
push refinancing risk back to 2013, or later, providing the
company with some headroom to navigate its operational transition.
If successful in refinancing its 2011 maturities, Fitch could
upgrade the IDR at least one notch to 'CC'.  Depending on the
amount of debt issued and the debt instruments that are repaid,
the senior secured debt rating would also likely be upgraded to
the same level as the IDR, given Fitch's continued expectations
for 31%-50% recovery.  Fitch expects that ratings for all senior
unsecured debt (guaranteed or not) would remain unchanged.

Moody's Investors Service's on June 29, 2009, lowered the
company's corporate family rating to Caa2 from Caa1, and revised
the probability of default rating to Caa2/LD from Caa3 upon
completion of an exchange offer of $102.9 million of then existing
senior unsecured notes for $24.2 million of new 15.75% senior
unsecured guaranteed notes due July 2014.  At that time, Moody's
also assigned a Caa1 rating (LGD3 - 42%) to the new 2014 notes.
The PDR was subsequently changed to Caa2 from Caa2/LD on July 2,
2009.

PROTECTION ONE: Receives $22.75 Mil. in Westar Settlement
---------------------------------------------------------
Protection One, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, Protection One
Alarm Monitoring, Inc., POI Acquisition, L.L.C., on behalf of
itself and as a successor-in-interest to POI Acquisition I, Inc.,
and Monarch Master Funding Ltd, formerly known as Quadrangle
Master Funding Ltd, as a successor-in-interest to POI Acquisition
I, Inc., on December 30, 2009, entered into a Final Settlement
Agreement with Westar Energy, Inc., and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Westar Industries, Inc., the former owner of the
Company.

The parties agreed to settle all claims between Westar, on the one
hand, and the Company, POAMI and the Principal Stockholders on the
other hand, related to certain agreements entered into in
connection with Westar's sale of the Company's stock to POI
Acquisition I, Inc., in February 2004.

Pursuant to the Final Settlement Agreement, Westar paid the
Company $22.75 million on December 31, 2009.

Westar agreed pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into on
November 12, 2004, with the Company, POI Acquisition and POI

the net tax benefit, less certain adjustments, that Westar
received from any net operating loss carryforward arising from the

future claims between Westar, on the one hand, and the Company,
POAMI and the Principal Stockholders, on the other hand, relating
to the 2004 Settlement, the administrative services agreement and
the Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2003, by and
among POI Acquisition and Westar, Westar paid $22.75 million to
the Company on December 31, 2009.

POI Acquisition is an affiliate of Quadrangle Group LLC, and
Monarch Master Funding Ltd is an affiliate of Monarch Alternative
Capital LP.

"We are pleased to finalize this tax matter and to use this
substantial payment to further bolster our balance sheet and our
ability to invest in future growth," said Richard Ginsburg,
Protection One's president and chief executive officer.  "As we
begin 2010, our cash balance exceeds $20 million even after having
made $30 million in prepayments on our bank credit facility in
December.  Our total outstanding debt is now approximately
$448 million, or $74 million lower than at the beginning of 2009."

PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS: Files for Chapter 11 to Sell Assets
--------------------------------------------------------
Protective Products of America Inc. and four of its subsidiaries
have filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 reorganization,
which also calls for the approval of their agreement to sell
substantially all of their assets and business as a going concern
to an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners Inc., a leading private
investment firm.

Under the terms of the agreement, the transaction is subject to a
higher and better offer by another party in approximately 35 days.
The Chapter 11 proceedings are pending in the Southern District of
Florida.  PPA is a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock
Exchange.

"We are pleased with our agreement to be acquired by Sun Capital
in connection with our bankruptcy cases and with Bankruptcy Court
approval," said Patrick Caldwell, PPA's Chief Executive Officer.
"The firm is a premier global private equity firm with over
$8 billion in assets under management, and has managed the
successful turnaround of over 100 portfolio companies over the
past 15 years."

PPA intends to maintain all normal business operations throughout
the administration of the bankruptcy cases.  Subject to Bankruptcy
Court approval, PPA will use the cash flow from its ongoing
operations together with additional financing from its existing
lender, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, to meet its working
capital needs throughout the reorganization process.  PPA has
filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to establish
auction and sale procedures to facilitate a quick and orderly sale
of substantially all of PPA's and its subsidiaries' assets, using
the 35-day timeline set forth in the purchase agreement with Sun
Capital.  The reorganization and acquisition will eliminate PPA's
funded indebtedness and substantially reduce its other
liabilities.

PPA has filed a series of first day motions in the Bankruptcy
Court in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, seeking to ensure that it will
not have any interruption in maintaining and honoring all of its
commitments to its employees and customers.  The motions also
address PPA's continued ability to pay its vendors, the retention
of various professional advisors and other matters.

READER'S DIGEST: Restructuring Plan Confirmed by Court
------------------------------------------------------
Reader's Digest Association disclosed that the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirms
its Plan of Reorganization, clearing the way for RDA to emerge
from bankruptcy by January 31, 2010.

"The Court's confirmation of our restructuring plan is a major
step for our company and provides RDA with a strong foundation for
our future," said Mary Berner, RDA President and Chief Executive
Officer.

Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, RDA will reduce its
total debt by 75% from more than $2.2 billion to approximately
$555 million.  Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, holders of
RDA's senior secured debt will receive equity, effectively
transferring ownership of RDA to the lender group.


                          The Chapter 11 Plan

Reader's Digest presented its reorganization plan for confirmation
on January 15.

The Chapter 11 plan is designed to reduce funded debt by 75% to
$555 million.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan contemplates these
transactions:

   * $150 million of loans outstanding under the Debtors' DIP
     Facility will be converted to a $150 million new first
     priority term loan.  The Debtors' prepetition Euro Term Loan
     in the approximate amount of $105.9 million outstanding under
     the prepetition credit agreement as of the Commencement Date
     will be reinstated.  The $300 million of secured loans --
     other than the Euro Term Loan -- will be converted into a new
     $300 million second priority term loan.  The remaining
     secured indebtedness will be converted into 100% of the new
     common stock, subject to dilution by the management equity
     plan and the rights offering.  The first lien lenders are
     expected to recover 53% to 63% of their claims.

   * The Debtors' outstanding $600 million senior subordinated
     notes will be canceled and discharged, but holders of these
     notes are entitled to participate in a rights offering.  The
     second lien noteholders are expected to recover 0%.

   * The general unsecured claims of trade creditors with whom the
     Debtors intend to conduct business post emergence will be
     paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date or in the ordinary
     course of business.  These trade creditors are expected to
     recover 100 cents on the dollar.

   * Holders of other general unsecured claims will receive Cash
     in an amount equal to their Pro Rata share of $3 million.
     They are expected to recover 2.5% to 2.7% of their claims.

   * Equity Interests in RDA Holding Co. will be extinguished.

The Plan provides that the New Board will grant equity awards in
the form of restricted stock, options and/or warrants for 7.5% of
the New Common Stock to continuing employees and directors of the
Reorganized Debtors; provided that such equity grants will not
include more than 2.5% in the form of restricted New Common Stock.

The Plan provides that Holders of Senior Subordinated Notes will
have the right to participate in a Rights Offering of New Common
Stock to be issued under the Plan on or soon after the Effective
Date.  Eligible Noteholders that participate in the Rights
Offering will be able to purchase up to $50 million to $100
million (of no more than 10%-20%) of New Common Stock Pro Rata
based on the principal amount of Senior Subordinated
Note Claims held by such Eligible Noteholder.

substantial doubt about RemoteMDx, Inc. and subsidiaries' ability
to continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended
September 30, 2009, and 2008.  The independent public accounting
firm reported that the Company has incurred losses and has an

REMOTEMDX INC: Auditors Raise Going Concern Doubt
-------------------------------------------------
Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., in Salt Lake City, expressed
substantial doubt about RemoteMDx, Inc., and subsidiaries' ability
to continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended
September 30, 2009, and 2008.  The independent public accounting
firm reported that the Company has incurred losses and has an
accumulated deficit.

The Company reported a net loss of $23,081,500 on total revenues
of $12,625,908 for the year ended September 30, 2009, compared to
a net loss of $49,587,050 on total revenues of $12,403,677 for the
same period ended September 30, 2008.

The decrease in net loss of $26,505,550 is due primarily to
reductions in communication and device costs, bringing software
enhancements and product design in-house as opposed to using high
priced third-party vendors, and the reduced use of consulting
services by bringing these services in-house.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $8,593,589 in total assets and $20,966,410 in total
liabilities, resulting in a $12,372,821 shareholders' deficit.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2009,
also showed strained liquidity with $2,922,688 in total current
assets available to pay $19,399,585 in total current liabilities.

REVLON INC: Seeks to Enforce MOU on Shareholder Suits
-----------------------------------------------------
Revlon, Inc., is seeking to enforce a Memorandum of Understanding
(as amended) that the Company entered into to settle certain
lawsuits that were previously filed against the Company.  The
Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to
defend them vigorously.

In October 2009, Revlon consummated an exchange offer pursuant to
which each issued and outstanding share of Revlon Class A common
stock was exchangeable for one share of newly-issued Revlon Series
A preferred stock.  Revlon issued 9,336,905 shares of Revlon
Series A preferred stock to exchanging holders of Revlon Class A
common stock on a share-for-share basis.

As disclosed by Revlon in the Offer to Exchange, as amended, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Revlon, each of its
directors, and MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. have been named
as defendants in five lawsuits challenging the proposal made by
MacAndrews & Forbes on April 13, 2009, which would have resulted
in MacAndrews & Forbes and certain of its affiliates owning 100%
of Revlon's outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common
stock.  Four of the lawsuits were filed in the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware: Mercier v. Perelman, et al., C.A. No.
4532; Jurkowitz v. Perelman, et al., C.A. No. 4557; Lefkowitz v.
Revlon, et al., C.A. No. 4563; and Heiser v. Revlon, et al., C.A.
No. 4578.  The actions were consolidated under the caption In re
Revlon, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No. 4578.  The fifth
lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of New York, New York
County: Sullivan v. Perelman, et al., No. 650257/2009.

On August 10, 2009, Revlon announced that it had reached an
agreement in principle, set forth in a Memorandum of
Understanding, to settle the Consolidated Action.  On
September 23, 2009, the parties to the Consolidated Action amended
the Memorandum of Understanding.

On December 24, 2009, the plaintiffs in the Sullivan action filed
an amended complaint alleging, among other things, that the
defendants should have disclosed in the Offer to Exchange
information regarding the Company's financial results for the
fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.

On January 6, 2010, an amended complaint was filed by the
plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action making additional
allegations, which are similar to those in the amended Sullivan
complaint.  With their filing of the amended complaint, the
Company believes that the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action
have formally repudiated the August 10, 2009 settlement agreement,
as amended on September 23, 2009.  The defendants filed a motion
on January 8, 2010, to enforce the Memorandum of Understanding,
and asking the Chancery Court for the opportunity to present the
settlement to the Chancery Court for its approval.

In addition to the amended complaints, on December 21, 2009, each
of Revlon's directors and MacAndrews & Forbes was named as a
defendant in an action filed in the Chancery Court:  Edward Gutman
v. Perelman, et al., C.A. No. 5158.  Also on December 21, 2009, a
second action was filed in the Chancery Court against Revlon's
directors:  Corneck v. Perelman, et al., C.A. No. 5160.  The
Gutman and Corneck actions make allegations similar to those in
the amended complaints in Sullivan and the Consolidated Action.

On December 31, 2009, an action was filed in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Delaware: John Garofalo v. Revlon, Inc.,
et al., C.A. No. 09-01008, against Revlon, Revlon's directors and
MacAndrews & Forbes alleging federal and state law claims stemming
from the same alleged failure to disclose information that
underlies the amended Sullivan and Consolidated Action complaints,
as well as the Gutman and Corneck complaints.

The plaintiffs in each of the actions are seeking, among other
things, an award of damages and of the costs and disbursements of
such action, including a reasonable allowance for the fees and
expenses of each such plaintiff's attorneys and experts.

The Company believes the amended Sullivan action, the amended
Consolidated Action, as well as the Gutman, Corneck and Garofalo
actions, are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

R.H. DONNELLEY: Court Enters Order Confirming Plan
--------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware confirmed on January 12, 2010, the Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization filed by R.H. Donnelley Corporation and its debtor
affiliates after finding that the Plan satisfies the confirmation
requirements of Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Judge Gross ruled that:

  (a) the Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy
      Code because:

         * it constitutes a separate plan of reorganization for
           each of the Debtors;

         * properly classifies all claims and interests that
           require classification;

         * identities and describes each Class of Claims or
           Interests that is impaired or not impaired;

         * provides the same treatment for each Claim or
           Interest of a particular Class unless the holder
           agrees to less favorable treatment;

         * provides adequate means for its implementation;

         * contain provisions prohibiting the issuance of
           nonvoting equity securities and provide for the
           appropriate distribution of voting power among all
           classes of equity securities authorized for issuance;

         * the Reorganized Debtors' charters, bylaws and similar
           constituent documents regarding the manner of
           selection of officers and directors of the
           Reorganized Debtors are consistent with the interests
           of creditors and equity security holders and with
           public policy;

         * it modifies the rights of the holders of certain
           Claims and Interests and leaves the rights of others
           unaffected;

         * provide for the assumption, assumption and assignment
           or rejection of the executory contracts and unexpired
           leases of the Debtors that have not been previously
           assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected pursuant to
           Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and appropriate
           authorizing orders of the Bankruptcy Court;

         * the Plan's provisions are appropriate and consistent
           with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
           Code, including, without limitation, provisions of:

              -- Article III of the Plan governing treatment on
                 account of Allowed Claims;

              -- Article VII of the Plan governing distributions
                 under the Plan; and

              -- Article XI of the Plan regarding retention of
                 jurisdiction by the Bankruptcy Court over
                 certain matters after the Effective Date; and

         * the Plan is dated and identifies the entities
           submitting it, thereby satisfying Rule 3016(a) of the
           Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure;

  (b) the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions
      of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying Section
      1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Specifically, the
      Debtors are proper debtors under Section 109 of the
      Bankruptcy Code the Debtors and the Official Committee of
      Unsecured Creditors are and proper proponents of the Plan
      under Section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtors
      have complied with the applicable provisions of the
      Bankruptcy Code, including as provided or permitted by
      orders of the Court.  The Debtors complied with the
      applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the
      Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules for the United States
      Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and the
      Solicitation Procedures Order in transmitting the Plan,
      the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots and related
      documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating
      votes on 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) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In determining that
      the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has
      examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the
      filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and the formulation of the
      Plan and found out that the Plan was proposed with the
      legitimate and honest purposes of maximizing the recovery
      to Holders of Claims and Interests under the circumstances
      of the Chapter 11 Cases;

  (d) the Court-appointed professionals in the Chapter 11 Cases
      are subject to the requirements of Sections 330 and 331 of
      the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, have been approved by,
      or are subject to approval of the Court as reasonable.
      Further, the Plan provides that all unpaid Professional
      Fees incurred prior to the Effective Date will be subject
      to final allowance or disallowance upon application to the
      Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Sections 330 or 503(b)(4) of
      the Bankruptcy Code;

  (e) the Debtors have complied with Section 1129(a)(5) of the
      Bankruptcy Code and have disclosed the initial officers of
      the Reorganized Debtors;

  (f) Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied
      because the Debtors' current businesses do not involve the
      establishment of rates over which any regulatory
      commission has or will have jurisdiction after
      Confirmation;

  (g) the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 1129(a)(7)
      of the Bankruptcy Code.  Each Holder of an Impaired Claim
      that has not accepted the Plan will, as demonstrated by
      the liquidation analysis included as an exhibit to the
      Disclosure Statement, receive or retain property under the
      Plan having a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not
      less than the amount that the Holder would so receive or
      retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of
      the Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date.

  (h) Section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that,
      with respect to each class of claims or interests, each
      class has either accepted the plan or is unimpaired under
      the plan.

      Based on the tabulation of votes done by the Debtors'
      claims and balloting agent, The Garden City Group, Inc.,
      impaired classes overwhelmingly voted to accept the Plan.
      More than 96% of creditors who cast ballots voted in favor
      of confirmation.

      A full-text copy of the Solicitation and Tabulation
      Results is available for free at:

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

  (i) the treatment of Administrative Claims and Non-Tax
      Priority Claims under the Plan satisfies the requirements
      of Section 1129(a)(9)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
      and the treatment of Tax Priority Claims under the Plan
      satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the
      Bankruptcy Code;

  (j) at least one Impaired Class of Claims has voted in
      sufficient number and amount to accept the Plan,
      determined without including the acceptance by any
      insider, with respect to every Debtor.  Accordingly,
      Section 1129(a)(1O) of the Bankruptcy Code has been
      satisfied in connection with each of the Debtors;

  (k) confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by
      the liquidation, or the need for further financial
      reorganization, of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or
      any successor to the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan,
      thus Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code is
      satisfied;

  (l) the Plan provides that all fees payable pursuant to
      Section 1930 of the Bankruptcy Code will be paid on the
      Effective Date, thus the Plan satisfies Section
      1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code;

  (m) the Plan provides that except and to the extent previously
      assumed by an order of the Court, as of the Confirmation
      Date, but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date,
      all Employee Pension Plans, all Employee Benefit Plans,
      including the Employment and Retirement Benefit
      Agreements, of the Debtors, as amended or modified,
      including programs subject to Sections 1114 and
      1129(a)(l3) of the Bankruptcy Code, entered into before,
      on or after the Petition Date and not since terminated,
      will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though they
      are, executory contracts that are assumed except for (i)
      executory contracts or plans specifically rejected
      pursuant to the Plan, and (ii) executory contracts or
      plans that have previously been rejected, are the subject
      of a motion to reject or have been specifically waived by
      the beneficiaries of any plans or contracts; provided,
      however, that (x) the Debtors will pay all "retiree
      benefits", and (y) the Debtors will amend those certain
      Employment and Retirement Benefit Agreements attached as
      an exhibit of the Plan.  Accordingly, the Plan satisfies
      Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code;

  (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; and

  (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.

Under the terms of the confirmed Plan:

  -- total debt will be reduced by $6.4 billion, including
     approximately $700 million of secured indebtedness.

  -- total cash interest expense will be reduced by
     approximately $500 million annually;

  -- post-emergence secured and consolidated debt will be
     approximately $3.1 billion and $3.4 billion, which
     represents approximately 3.0x and 3.3x net secured and net
     consolidated debt to EBITDA;

  -- cash balance at emergence will be at least $125 million;

  -- the approximately $6.0 billion of unsecured bond
     indebtedness will be exchanged for virtually 100 percent of
     the equity in and $300 million of unsecured notes issued by
     Reorganized Debtors; and

  -- all existing equity in the Debtors will be extinguished.

The confirmation of the Plan paves the way for the Debtors to
emerge from Chapter 11 protection and begin making distributions
to creditors by the end of January 2009.

"We are very pleased with the court's decision, which clears the
way for us to complete our balance sheet restructuring in the
next few weeks," David C. Swanson, chairman and CEO of R.H.
Donnelley Corp. said.  He adds that "the Plan confirmed today
allows us to reduce our debt by more than $6 billion and emerge
with a more manageable capital structure and a stronger financial
foundation."

order confirming the Debtors' Chapter 11 Plan is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/RHDConfORD.pdf

                      Objections Overruled

The Court overruled all objections to the confirmation of the
Plan to the extent not withdrawn or resolved.  Prior to the entry
of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors resolved the confirmation
objections.

A. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance

  Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order will be deemed
  to, release, discharge, nullify, enjoin or preclude the
  enforcement or assessment by the New York State Department of
  Taxation and Finance of any liability, in the appropriate
  court or administrative body, against any non-Debtor entity
  subject to liability for sales taxes and withholding taxes by
  virtue of their positions with the Debtors as persons
  responsible for the collection and payment of pre petition
  sales taxes and withholding taxes owing by the Debtors to the
  State of New York, subject to any defenses that any such non-
  debtor entity may have under the applicable law and facts.

B. Treasurer of Douglas County, Colorado

  Notwithstanding any language in the Plan to the contrary, to
  the extent that Douglas County holds a valid Other Secured
  Claim against RHDC or DMI for 2009 personal property taxes, if
  and to the extent that any Other Secured Claim is Allowed,
  then the Allowed Claim will be treated as an Allowed
  Other Secured Claim for purposes of the Plan, and will be paid
  in full in Cash, together with any unpaid interest thereon
  accruing at the applicable statutory rate of 12% per annum,
  on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the later to
  occur of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date on which
  those claims becomes an Allowed Other Secured Claim that is
  due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law.  To the
  extent that Douglas County holds an Allowed Other Secured
  Claim, then it will be entitled to retain any Liens that it
  may have and the priority of any Liens securing its Allowed
  Other Secured Claim pending the payment thereof.  The
  Reorganized Debtors will file any objection they may have
  to Douglas County's Claim for 2009 ad valorem commercial
  personal property taxes no later than 180 days after the
  Effective Date of the Plan, and the Reorganized Debtors will
  not seek any extension of time for objecting to Douglas
  County's Claim.

  officers of RHDC in the Superior Court of the State of
  California for the County of Los Angeles, West District.

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan
  or the Confirmation Order, neither the entry of the
  Confirmation Order nor the occurrence of the Effective Date of
  the Plan will be deemed to, prejudice, release, waive,
  discharge, enjoin or otherwise impair the claims or causes of

  of or belonging to the Corwin Plaintiffs against the Corwin
  Defendants in the Corwin Lawsuit or against any other Person

  claims or causes of action on behalf of or belonging to the

  action are expressly preserved.

F. Wilmington Trust Company

  Even though the Plan and the Confirmation Order each provide
  that, on the Effective Date, the reasonable Notes Indenture
  Trustee Fees will be paid in full in cash, in the event that
  (i) Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as Notes
  Indenture Trustee for the DMW Senior Notes, raises a dispute
  after the Effective Date with respect to the payment of its
  reasonable Notes Indenture Trustee Fees, and (ii) the
  Reorganized Debtors are unable to reasonably resolve any
  dispute, then any disputed amount of Wilmington Trust
  Company's Notes Indenture Trustee Fees will be subject to the
  jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the
  reasonableness of those fees as provided under the DMW Senior
  Notes Indenture.  However, in the event that the Reorganized
  Debtors and the Wilmington Trust Company are unable to
  reasonably resolve any dispute with respect to the payment of
  its Notes Indenture Trustee Fees, Wilmington Trust Company
  may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) submit any dispute
  to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution or (ii) assert its
  Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against distributions to
  be made to the DMW Senior Notes Noteholders to obtain payment
  of the disputed Notes Indenture Trustee Fees.

  Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed to impair, waive,
  extinguish or negatively impact Wilmington Trust Company's
  Notes Indenture Trustee Charging Lien against distributions to
  be made to the DMW Senior Notes Noteholders.

  The indemnification obligations of Dex Media West LLC and Dex
  Media West Finance Co. under the DMW Senior Notes Indentures
  in favor of Wilmington Trust Company in its capacity as
  Trustee under the DMW Senior Notes Indenture will survive
  solely against Reorganized Dex Media West, Inc. for a period
  of 12 months after the Effective Date; provided, however, that
  (i) the aggregate amount that may ultimately be paid pursuant
  to the indemnification obligations shall not exceed $250,000
  over the 12 month period; (ii) any claim for indemnification
  thereunder will solely be limited for actual losses incurred
  by Wilmington Trust Company and will be accompanied by
  supporting documentation, including but not limited to,
  invoices Of other demonstrative evidence reasonably acceptable
  to Reorganized Dex Media West, Inc.; and (iii) the settlement
  of any claim, cause of action or other action in an amount of
  $25,000 or more for which Wilmington Trust Company seeks
  indemnification from Reorganized Dex Media West, Inc. will be
  subject to the prior written consent of Reorganized Dex Media,
  Inc., which will not be unreasonably withheld.

  Wilmington Trust filed an untimely response to the Debtors'
  Plan on January 5, 2010, asserting that the Plan propose to
  improperly waive the rights of certain non-consenting
  noteholders to enforce certain subordination provisions.

             Estimated Value to be Distributed
           to DMW Senior Notes Noteholder Claims

The Confirmation Order states that at around the projected
emergence date of the Debtors by the end of January 2010, Holders
of DMW Senior Notes Noteholders Claims have an Allowed Claim in
the aggregate amount of $394 million, plus accrued but unpaid
interest, as of the Petition Date.

Based on Lazard Freres & Co. LLC's estimation of the range of
consolidated value of New RHDC Common Stock to be distributed to
the holders of certain Dex Media West Senior Notes Noteholders
Claims upon emergence, Lazard's consideration of the potential
value of the New RHDC Notes in the aggregate amount of $300
million to be distributed to the Holders of DMW Senior Notes
Noteholders Claims upon emergence, the implied market value of
the DMW Senior Notes based on recent trading metrics, and the
potential equity value of the New RHDC Common Stock upon
emergence implied by the recent trading metrics of the Notes,
Lazard believes that, considering the totality of the
circumstances, as of the projected end of January 2010 emergence
date, the value of the property to be distributed to Holders of
DMW Senior Notes Noteholders Claims under the Plan will not be
less than 100% of the amount of the Allowed Claims of the
Holders.

                Administrative Claims Bar Date

The Confirmation Order sets that all requests for payment of an
Administrative Claim will be filed with the Court and served on
the United States Trustee and counsel for the Debtors not later
than 45 days after the Effective Date of the Plan.  Unless the
U.S. Trustee, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object to an
Administrative Claim within 45 days after receipt, the
Administrative Claim will be deemed allowed.

In the event that the U.S. Trustee, the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors object to an Administrative Claim, the Court
will determine the Allowed amount of the Administrative Claim,
provided that the U.S. Trustee, the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, and the applicant may resolve the
objection by stipulation, without further action of the Court.

No request for payment of an Administrative Claim need be filed
with respect to an Administrative Claim which is paid or payable
by a Debtor in the ordinary course of business.

       Deadline for Filing Final Professional Fee Requests

The Court also ruled that all final requests for compensation or
reimbursement of the fees of any bankruptcy professional,
including any claims for making a substantial contribution under
Section 503(b)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, will be filed and
served on the Reorganized Debtors and their counsel and the U.S.
Trustee, not later than 45 days after the Effective Date, unless
otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

                 Rejection Claims Bar Date

If the rejection by a Debtor, pursuant to the Plan, of an
executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then
the Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable
against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or the properties of
any of them, unless a Proof of Claim is filed with the Claims
Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors by the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Effective Date or
(ii) 30 days after entry of a Final Order rejecting any executory
contract or unexpired lease.

               Certificate of Incorporation

The Reorganized Debtors will file their Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware, which will among other things, provide
for:

  (i) the authorization of 310,000,000 shares of stock
      consisting of:

         (a) 300,000,000 of New RHDC Common Stock, of which
             50,000,000 will initially be issued and outstanding
             as of the Effective Date; and

         (b) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock; provided,
             however, that shares representing 10% of the New

SEQUA CORP: Bank Debt Trades at 8% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Sequa Corporation
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 92.45 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Jan. 15, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 2.70 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company
pays 325 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank loan matures on Nov. 28, 2014, and carries Moody's B2
rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 168 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for the week
ended Jan. 15.

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Oct. 12, 2009, related that
Moody's confirmed Sequa Corporation's Caa1 Corporate Family and
the Probability of Default Ratings.  Simultaneously, the company's
senior secured bank credit facility rating was confirmed at B2 and
the rating for the senior unsecured notes was confirmed at Caa2.
The rating outlook is negative.  This action completes the review
for possible downgrade that was
initiated on March 16, 2009.

On July 1, 2009, the TCR reported Standard & Poor's lowered its
corporate credit rating on Sequa Corporation to 'B-' from 'B'.
S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on the company's senior
debt to 'B-' (the same as the corporate credit rating) from 'BB-'.
In addition, Standard & Poor's revised the recovery rating on this
debt to '3' from '1', indicating S&P's expectations of meaningful
(50%-70%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  At the same
time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on Sequa's senior
unsecured debt to 'CCC' (two notches below the corporate credit
rating) from 'B-'.  S&P also revised the recovery rating on this
debt to '6' from '5', indicating S&P's expectations of negligible
(0%-10%) recovery the event of a payment default.  S&P also
revised the outlook to negative from stable.

Sequa Corporation, headquartered in New York, is a diversified
industrial company operating in three business segments: aerospace
through Chromalloy Gas Turbine, automotive through ARC Automotive
and Casco Products and metal coating through Precoat Metals.  LTM
revenue as of 6/30/09 was approximately $1.5 billion.

ST STEPHEN STATE BANK: First State Bank Assumes All Deposits
------------------------------------------------------------
St. Stephen State Bank, St. Stephen, Minnesota, was closed January
15 by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which appointed the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.  To
protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with First State Bank of St. Joseph, St.
Joseph, Minnesota, to assume all of the deposits of St. Stephen
State Bank.

The two branches of St. Stephen State Bank will reopen during
normal business hours as branches of First State Bank of St.
Joseph.  Depositors of St. Stephen State Bank will automatically
become depositors of First State Bank of St. Joseph. 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 they receive notice from First State Bank of
St. Joseph that it has completed systems changes to allow other
First State Bank of St. Joseph branches to process their accounts
as well.

As of September 30, 2009, St. Stephen State Bank had approximately
$24.7 million in total assets and $23.4 million in total deposits.
First State Bank of St. Joseph did not pay the FDIC a premium to
assume all of the deposits of St. Stephen State Bank. In addition
to assuming all of the deposits of the St. Stephen State Bank,
First State Bank of St. Joseph agreed to purchase essentially all
of the failed bank's assets.

The FDIC and First State Bank of St. Joseph entered into a loss-
share transaction on $20.4 million of St. Stephen State Bank's
assets. First State Bank of St. Joseph will share in the losses on
the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-
share transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets
covered by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction
also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For
more information on loss share, please visit:
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about today's transaction can call
the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-591-2845. The phone number will be
operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Central Standard Time
(CST); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., CST; on Sunday
from noon to 6:00 p.m., CST; and thereafter from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m., CST. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site
at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/ststephen.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $7.2 million. First State Bank of St. Joseph's
acquisition of all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution
for the FDIC's DIF compared to all alternatives. St. Stephen State
Bank is the third FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation
this year, and the first in Minnesota. The last FDIC-insured
institution closed in the state was Prosperan Bank, Oakdale, on
November 6, 2009.

First American Bank, Elk Grove Village, Illinois Assumes All of
the Deposits of Town Community Bank and Trust, Antioch, Illinois


STATION CASINOS: Creditors' Fraud Claims Trigger Protest
--------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that lenders are crying foul over a bid by
unsecured creditors of Station Casinos Inc. to pursue fraudulent
transfer claims related to the lenders' leveraged buyout and lease
agreement, which the creditors allege is responsible for the
casino company's insolvency.

Station Casinos, Inc., is a gaming and entertainment company that
currently owns and operates nine major hotel/casino properties
(one of which is 50% owned) and eight smaller casino properties
(three of which are 50% owned), in the Las Vegas metropolitan
area, as well as manages a casino for a Native American tribe.

Station Casinos Inc., together with its affiliates, filed for
Chapter 11 on July 28, 2009 (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No. 09-52477).
Station Casinos has hired Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as
legal counsel in the Chapter 11 case; Brownstein Hyatt Farber
Schreck, LLP, as regulatory counsel; and Lewis and Roca LLP as
local counsel.  The Debtor is also hiring Lazard Freres & Co. LLC
as investment banker and financial advisor.  Kurtzman Carson
Consultants LLC is the claims and noticing agent.

In its bankruptcy petition, Station Casinos said that it had
assets of $5,725,001,325 against debts of $6,482,637,653 as of
June 30, 2009.  About 4,378,929,997 of its liabilities constitute
unsecured or subordinated debt securities.

SUN MICROSYSTEMS: Oracle Deal Won't Affect Moody's 'Ba1' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said the European Commission's recent
communiqu‚ that it will likely approve Oracle Corporation's (A2)
pending acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Inc., does not affect the
review for possible upgrade of Sun's Ba1 rating.

The last rating action was on April 20, 2009, when Moody's placed
Sun's ratings on review for possible upgrade following the
announcement that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be
purchased by Oracle for approximately $7.4 billion.

Sun Microsystems, Inc., based in Santa Clara, California, is a
leading worldwide provider of network computing systems and
service solutions for enterprise customers.  Net revenues for the
last twelve months ended September 30, 2009 were $10.7 billion.
Oracle's pending acquisition of Sun has received approvals from
its board of directors and shareholders, as well as from the DOJ.
The company is awaiting approval from the EC, which is expected to
submit a final ruling by January 27, 2010.


SWIFT TRANSPORTATION: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off
------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Swift
Transportation Co., Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary
market at 94.61 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday,
Jan. 15, 2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 2.44 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 debt carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B-
rating.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
168 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in
secondary trading for the week ended Jan. 15.

Swift Transportation Co., Inc. -- http://www.swifttrans.com/--
hauls freight such as building materials, paper products, and
retail merchandise throughout the U.S. and in Mexico.  The Company
operates a fleet of about 18,000 tractors and 48,000 trailers from
a network of about 40 terminals.  Its services include dedicated
contract carriage, in which drivers and equipment are assigned to
a customer long-term.  Besides standard dry ans, Swift's fleet
includes refrigerated, flatbed, and other specialized trailers, as
well as about 5,800 intermodal containers.


SYNCORA HOLDINGS: Unit Expects Decrease in Statutory Capital
------------------------------------------------------------
Syncora Holdings Ltd.'s wholly owned New York financial guarantee
subsidiary, Syncora Guarantee Inc., expects, based on information
available to date, to record in the fourth quarter of 2009 a
material decrease in its statutory policyholders' surplus
principally as a result of an increase of its statutory basis
reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses on its
guarantees of residential mortgage-backed securities, partially
offset by ongoing remediation efforts by the Company.  The Company
reported a policyholders' surplus of $181.7 million as of
September 30, 2009, and expects that it will remain in compliance
with the New York State Insurance Department's (the "NYID")
minimum policyholders' surplus requirement of $65 million.

In addition, in July 2009 the Company completed substantially all
the steps of its comprehensive restructuring, except for one
remaining transaction, which resulted in the Company's return to
compliance with its minimum policyholders' surplus as of
September 30, 2009.  When the remaining transaction is ready to
close, the Company expects to make a submission to the NYID
confirming that such closing is ready to proceed and that, upon
closing, the policyholders' surplus will not be impaired and
requesting that the claims suspension order of April 10, 2009, be
lifted.  Once the claims suspension order is lifted and the
closing occurs, the Company expects to recommence payment of
claims, including all suspended payments since April 27, 2009.
The Company is currently in advanced negotiations with respect to
the remaining transaction and anticipates that it may be able to
close the transaction in the near future, subject to obtaining
NYID approval and a waiver from certain parties.  However, there
can be no assurance that the transaction will close in the near
future or at all.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
NYID will accept the Company's submission and lift the claims
suspension order.

Finally, Syncora announced that, effective January 19, 2010, its
U.S. headquarters will be relocated to One Worldwide Plaza, 825
8th Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10019-7416.  Telephone
and facsimile numbers will remain the same.

TEEKAY CORP: S&P Corrects Press Release on January 30
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has corrected a media release
published Jan. 13, 2010, that incorrectly stated in the second
paragraph that the proposed notes were secured obligations, rather
than unsecured obligations.

S&P said it assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating to Teekay Corp.'s
proposed 10-year US$300 million senior unsecured notes.  S&P also
assigned a '4' recovery rating to the debt, indicating S&P's
expectation of an average (30%-50%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

The proposed notes will be unsecured obligations and will rank
pari passu with all existing unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of the issuer.  S&P understands that the company will
use the proceeds of the proposed notes to repay through a tender
offer the unsecured notes outstanding due 2011, as well as
borrowings under its revolving credit facilities.  This should
result in no material change in the company's consolidated debt
levels.  S&P rates the long-term corporate credit rating on Teekay
'BB', with a stable outlook.

"The ratings reflect what S&P see as Teekay's market-leading and
defendable position in the shuttle tanker business, increasing
revenue contribution from more stable liquefied gas and offshore
segments, improving product offering, and the high priority it has
given to restoring a more prudent capital structure," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Greg Pau.

S&P believes that these strengths are partially offset by the
company's continued, albeit reducing, participation in the highly
cyclical spot tanker segment.  They are also offset by Teekay's
aggressive financial risk profile brought about by its debt-
financed acquisitions, which are part of its strategy to become a
full-range service provider to the midstream oil and gas industry.

TOWN COMMUNITY BANK: Closed; First American to Assume Deposits
--------------------------------------------------------------
Town Community Bank and Trust, Antioch, Illinois, was closed
January 15 by the Illinois Department of Financial Professional
Regulation, Division of Banking, which appointed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the
depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with First American Bank, Elk Grove Village, Illinois,
to assume all of the deposits of Town Community Bank and Trust.

The sole branch of Town Community Bank and Trust will reopen on
Saturday as a branch of First American Bank. Depositors of Town
Community Bank and Trust will automatically become depositors of
First American 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 the former Town Community Bank and Trust
branch until they receive notice from First American Bank that it
has completed systems changes to allow other First American Bank
branches to process their accounts as well.

As of September 30, 2009, Town Community Bank and Trust had
approximately $69.6 million in total assets and $67.4 million in
total deposits. First American Bank did not pay the FDIC a premium
to assume all of the deposits of Town Community Bank and Trust. In
addition to assuming all of the deposits, First American Bank
agreed to purchase approximately $67.6 million of Town Community
Bank and Trust's assets. The FDIC retained the remaining assets
for later disposition.

The FDIC and First American Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction on $56.2 million of Town Community Bank and Trust's
assets. First American Bank will share in the losses on the asset
pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-share
transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered
by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction also is
expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For more
information on loss share, please visit:
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html.

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-877-894-4710.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/towncommunity.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $17.8 million.  First American Bank's acquisition of
all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's
DIF compared to all alternatives. Town Community Bank and Trust is
the second FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this
year, and the first in Illinois. The last FDIC-insured institution
closed in the state was Independent Bankers' Bank, Springfield, on
December 18, 2009.

TRIBUNE CO: Wilmington Trust Seeks Examiner
-------------------------------------------
Wilmington Trust Company, successor indenture trustee for the
Exchangeable Subordinated Debentures due 2029 in the aggregate
principal amount of approximately $1.2 billion issued in April
1999 by Tribune, filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
entry of an order directing the appointment of an examiner.

Wilmington Trust says that to protect the interest of bondholders,
an examiner should investigate a 2007 leveraged buyout that left
Tribune with debts surpassing $11 billion.

Wilmington Trust adds that it has learned that the Debtors'
estates hold very significant causes of action against multiple
prospective defendants, including current and former members of
the official committee, arising from Tribune's 2007 leveraged buy-
out transaction.  Those causes of action include, but are not
limited to, claims for fraudulent conveyance, breach of fiduciary
duty, aiding and abetting the same and equitable subordination.

Wilmington Trust is a member of the official committee of
unsecured creditors appointed in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.
WTC noted that the Creditors Committee, which is investigating,
includes members who have "disabling conflicts of interest" or "no
financial incentive to pursue causes of action."

The motion for an examiner will be heard in Bankruptcy Court on
Jan. 27.

                 Going Concern/Bankruptcy Warning

The Company has incurred a net loss of $18.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, and has an accumulated deficit of
$632.5 million as of September 30, 2009.

Based on the Company's current operating plan, which includes
payments to be received by the Company or its consolidated
entities from BP relating to the first and second phases of the
strategic partnership, as well as proceeds from the Company's
recent equity financing, the Company says its existing working
capital may not be sufficient to meet the cash requirements to
fund the Company's planned operating expenses, capital
expenditures, required and potential payments under the 2007
Notes, the 2008 Notes, and the 2009 Notes, and working capital
requirements through 2010 without additional sources of cash
and/or the deferral, reduction or elimination of significant
planned expenditures.  These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company adds that while it believes that it will be successful
in raising or generating additional cash through a combination of
corporate partnerships and collaborations, federal, state and
local grant funding, selling or financing assets, incremental
product sales and the additional sale of equity or debt
securities, if it is unsuccessful in raising additional capital
from any of these sources, it may need to defer, reduce or
eliminate certain planned expenditures, restructure or
significantly curtail its operations, file for bankruptcy or cease
operations.

WIDEOPENWEST FINANCE: S&P Affirms 'B-' Rating on $250 Mil. Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'B-'
issue-level rating on Englewood, Colorado-based WideOpenWest
Finance LLC's proposed $250 million add-on to its first-lien term
loan ($975 million outstanding).  The '4' recovery rating remains
unchanged and indicates expectations for average (30%-50%)
recovery in the event of payment default.

At the same time, S&P affirmed all other ratings on WOW, including
the 'B-' corporate credit rating.  The outlook is positive.

Net proceeds will initially be used to repay $50 million of
borrowings under the revolver, add about $195 million of cash to
the balance sheet, and pay related transaction fees.  However, the
company has signed a letter of intent to acquire an unidentified
cable system, in which case, it would use the proceeds to fund the
proposed acquisition.  If WOW is able to complete the acquisition
and the transaction is leverage neutral with a trajectory toward
deleveraging below 6x, S&P could raise the ratings.  S&P expects
total debt to be about $1.5 billion.

"The ratings on WOW continue to reflect a high degree of business
risk due to the company's vulnerable market position as a cable
overbuilder," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Allyn Arden,
"and significant competition from financially stronger incumbent
cable operators and AT&T Inc. (A/Negative/A-1)."  The ratings also
reflect the company's elevated leverage and cost disadvantages,
particularly in negotiating programming contracts.


WILLIAM LYON: Expects Up to $95MM Income Tax Benefit for FY2009
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 was
enacted into law on November 6, 2009.  The Act amended Section 172
of the Internal Revenue Code to allow net operating losses
realized in either (but not both) tax year 2008 or 2009 to be
carried back up to five years (previously limited to a two-year
carryback).   The change will allow William Lyon Homes and certain
of its subsidiaries to carry back 2009 taxable losses to prior
years and receive refunds of previously paid Federal income taxes.

The Act also extended and expanded the current homebuyer tax
credit until April 30, 2010.  While the ultimate impact of this
legislation is not yet determinable, the Company believes that it
could have a modest stimulative impact on the demand for new
housing.

In light of the new tax legislation, during the three months ended
December 31, 2009, the Company expects to record an income tax
benefit for the full year 2009 of roughly $80 million to
$95 million.  The Company anticipates receiving a federal income
tax refund for the same amount in the first or second quarter of
2010.  The ultimate amount of such refunds realized is dependent
on a variety of factors, including the Company's and its
subsidiaries' actual taxable losses for 2009, which are not yet
certain and may vary from current expectations.

Based in Newport Beach, California, William Lyon Homes and
subsidiaries -- http://www.lyonhomes.com/-- are primarily engaged
in designing, constructing and selling single family detached and
attached homes in California, Arizona and Nevada.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $738,740,000 in total

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 25, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on William Lyon Homes to 'CCC' from 'CCC-' and removed it
from CreditWatch, where it was placed with positive implications
on Oct. 30, 2009.  At the same time, S&P raised its rating on the
company's senior unsecured notes to 'CC' from 'D'.  The outlook is
developing.

"S&P raised its rating on William Lyon Homes because S&P believes
that near-term liquidity pressure has eased somewhat following the
partial funding of a secured term loan and reduced maturing credit
facility debt," said credit analyst James Fielding.  "However,
this privately held homebuilder remains very highly leveraged and
may face challenges repaying or refinancing intermediate-term debt
maturities if its business prospects don't improve in the
interim."

        which he is engaged that is competitive with the Company's
        business.

In exchange, the Company paid Mr. Wicks $400,000 on January 6,
2010.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Wicks the
following amounts if these objectives are met:

        approve whether the objectives have been met on a
        reasonable basis of its choosing.

In addition, Mr. Wicks agreed not to disclose confidential
information of the Company and to refrain from disparaging the
Company and its officers and employees.

                          Exchange Offers

YRC Worldwide's previously disclosed exchange offers expired at
11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 30, 2009.  The
exchange offers had sought to exchange up to 42 million shares of
the Company's common stock and up to 5 million shares of the

USF-8-1/2% Notes due 2010 issued by the Company's subsidiary, YRC
Regional Transportation, Inc., with an aggregate face value of
roughly $536.8 million.

The Company received tenders for $470,209,000 in par value,
representing roughly 88% of the Company's outstanding notes,
including (i) $105,043,000, or 70%, of its 8-1/2% Notes, (i)
$2,350,000, or 100%, of Old 5% Notes, (ii) $214,417,000, or 91.4%,
of 5% Net Share Settled Notes, (iii) $5,384,000, or 100%, of Old
3.375% Notes and (iv) $143,015,000, or 98.9%, of 3.375% Net Share
Settled Notes.

On the December 31, 2009 Settlement Date, the Company issued to
tendering noteholders 36,504,043 shares of its common stock and
4,345,514 shares of its Preferred Stock (957,229,823.92 shares of
common stock, on an as-if converted basis as of December 31, 2009)
which, together on an as-if converted basis, represent
approximately 94% of the Company's total issued and outstanding
common stock.

In connection with the Exchange Offers, the Company solicited
consents to amend the indentures governing its outstanding notes
and consents to enter into a mutual release with the tendering
noteholders.

                      Supplemental Indentures

On December 31, 2009, the Company and the trustee for the 3.375%
Net Share Settled Notes and the 5% Net Share Settled Notes entered
into a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the
3.375% Net Share Settled Notes and a supplemental indenture to the
indenture governing the 5% Net Share Settled Notes, each of which
removes substantially all material affirmative and negative
covenants and related events of default other than the obligation
to pay principal and interest on the notes, those relating to
conversion rights and those relating to a repurchase right at the
option of holders and certain limitations on the Company's ability
to merge or transfer assets.

On December 31, 2009, YRCRT and the trustee for the 8-1/2% Notes
entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing
the 8-1/2% Notes, which removes substantially all material
affirmative and negative covenants and related events of default
other than the obligation to pay principal and interest on the
8-1/2% Notes.

                          Mutual Release

On December 31, 2009, the Company, YRCRT and the tendering
noteholders entered into a mutual release, under which they agreed
to release the other parties to the Mutual Release and certain of
their related parties from every, any and all claims, which claim
against such party and its related parties ever had, now have or
hereafter can, shall or may have, for, upon or by reason of any
matter, act, failure to act, transaction, event, occurrence, cause
or thing whatsoever up to the date of the consummation of the
Exchange Offers, directly or indirectly relating to the
outstanding notes, the indentures relating to the outstanding
notes and the Exchange Offers, subject to limited exceptions set
forth in the Mutual Release.  The Mutual Release also provides
that the tendering noteholders waive certain appraisal rights in
the event of a merger of the Company.

Upon issuance of the Preferred Stock on the Settlement Date, the
ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends on, make
distributions with respect to, or make a liquidation payment on
its common stock, became subject to certain restrictions.  In
addition, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to
vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the common stock
on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders,
and the Company may not take certain actions without the
affirmative vote or written consent of holders representing at
least a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Stock subject
to certain exceptions.

On December 31, 2009, the Company and the trustees entered into
supplemental indentures which materially modified the rights of
noteholders who did not tender their notes.

On December 31, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of
Designations with the Delaware Secretary of State for the purposes
of amending its certificate of incorporation, as amended, to fix
the designations, preferences, powers and rights of the Preferred
Stock.

The Company will hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders at the
Company's General Office, 10990 Roe Avenue, in Overland Park,
Kansas 66211, to consider these matters:

     1. To amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to (i)
        reduce the par value of the Company's common stock from
        $1.00 to $0.01 -- Par Value Reduction -- and (ii) increase
        the number of authorized shares from 125,000,000 shares to
        2,005,000,000 shares, of which 5,000,000 shares shall be
        preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, and
        2,000,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value
        $0.01 per share -- Authorized Share Increase;

     2. To amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to
        (i) effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common
        stock following the effectiveness of the Par Value
        Reduction and the Authorized Share Increase, at a ratio
        that will be determined by the Company's board of
        directors and that will be within a range of one-for-five
        (1:5) to one-for-25 (1:25), and (ii) reduce the number of
        authorized shares of the Company's common stock by the
        reverse split ratio --- Authorized Share Reduction; and

     3. To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if
        necessary, to solicit additional proxies, if there are not
        sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to
        approve proposals No. 1 and/or No. 2.

The board of directors recommends a FOR vote for proposals No. 1,
No. 2 and No. 3.

                        Not of the Hook Yet

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on January 12, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service revised YRC Worldwide's Probability of
Default Rating to Caa2 from Ca\LD, and the ratings on the
company's convertible senior notes due 2023 and YRC Regional
Transportation, Inc.'s 8-1/2% notes due 2010 to Caa3 from Ca.
Moody's affirmed YRC's Caa3 corporate family rating.

Moody's said YRC's PDR was raised by two notches to Caa2 in
recognition of a reduction in default risk over the next 12 months
that can be ascribed to the recent completion of an exchange of
debt for equity.  Moody's said the exchange provided important
relief to YRC.  However, the Caa2 PDR reflects Moody's belief that
the company continues to face substantial risk and will be
challenged to significantly improve its financial performance
despite what is expected to be a period modest recovery in
trucking demand over the near term.  Moreover, Moody's notes that
YRC must still achieve a refinancing of about $45 million of
senior notes that mature in April 2010; under agreements with bank
lenders YRC is precluded from using existing financial resources
to repay the notes making it imperative that a refinancing plan be
implemented in the near term.

As reported by the TCR on January 14, 2010, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating on YRC
Worldwide to 'CCC-' from 'SD' (selective default).  S&P raised the
senior unsecured issue-level ratings to 'CC' from 'D' on the
company's remaining notes that were subject to the exchange offer,
as well as a '6' recovery rating, indicating negligible (0%-10%)
recovery of principal in a payment default scenario.  The company
has issued a combination of common and preferred equity in
exchange for the existing notes.

Despite the company's improved capital structure, YRCW's liquidity
position remains constrained, due to the $45 million upcoming
April 15 maturity, S&P said.  S&P could lower the ratings if YRCW
is unsuccessful in raising new capital to fund upcoming
maturities, or if liquidity becomes further constrained.

ZUFFA LLC: Flash Entertainment Deal Won't Affect Moody's Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that the purchase of 10% of Zuffa,
LLC (Ba3 CFR - d/b/a Ultimate Fighting Championship) by Flash
Entertainment, an independent live events and entertainment
organization based in the United Arab Emirates, has no material
impact on Zuffa's credit ratings.  Flash is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (Aa2).

The last rating action for Zuffa was on October 2, 2009, when
Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to the company's senior secured
incremental term loan.

Zuffa's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors Moody's
believe are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as
i) the business risk and competitive position of the company
versus others within its industry, ii) the capital structure and
financial risk of the company, iii) the projected performance of
the company over the near to intermediate term, and iv)
management's track record and tolerance for risk.  These
attributes were compared against other issuers both within and
outside of Zuffa's core industry and Zuffa's ratings are believed
to be comparable to those of other issuers of similar credit risk.

Zuffa, LLC, is the world's largest promoter of MMA sports
competition events.  Its most prominent brand, Ultimate Fighting
Championship or "UFC", has the largest platform in the sport.


* 2010 Bank Closings Now at 4 After 3 Banks Shut Friday
-------------------------------------------------------
Regulators closed three banks January 15 -- Town Community Bank &
Trust, Antioch, IL; St. Stephen State Bank, St. Stephen, MN; and
Barnes Banking Company, Kaysville, UT -- raising the total
closings for this year to four.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed receiver
for the banks.

The FDIC has signed deals where three separate banks would assume
the assets of Town Community and St. Stephen State.  A deposit
insurance national bank was created for Barnes Banking to allow
depositors access to their insured deposits and time to open
accounts at other insured institutions.

The four banking failures this year are expected to cost the
FDIC's deposit insurance fund $539.1 million.

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

                   552 Banks on Problem List

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said in its Quarterly Banking
Profile released November 24 that the number of insured
institutions on the agency's "Problem List" rose from 416 to 552
during the quarter, and total assets of "problem" institutions
increased from $299.8 billion to $345.9 billion.  Both the number
and assets of "problem" institutions are now at the highest level
since the end of 1993.

Total assets of the nation's 8,099 FDIC-insured commercial banks
and savings institutions decreased by $54.3 billion (0.4%) during
the third quarter of 2009.  Total deposits increased by $79.8
billion (0.9%) during the quarter, primarily due to activity in
foreign offices, which was up $81.9 billion (5.6%).

FDIC's deposit insurance fund (DIF) decreased by $18.6 billion
during the third quarter to a negative $8.2 billion primarily
because of $21.7 billion in additional provqisions for bank
failures.  Also, unrealized losses on available-for-sale
securities, combined with operating expenses, reduced the fund by
$1.1 billion.  Accrued assessment income added $3.0 billion to the
fund during the quarter, and interest earned, combined with
realized gains from sale of securities and surcharges from the
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, added $1.2 billion.

Fifty insured institutions with combined assets of $68.8 billion
failed during the third quarter of 2009, the largest number since
the second quarter of 1990 when 65 insured institutions failed.
Ninety-five insured institutions with combined assets of $104.7
billion failed during the first three quarters of 2009, at a
currently estimated cost to the DIF of $25.0 billion.  As of
November 20, the list has risen to 124.

The DIF's reserve ratio was negative 0.16% on September 30, 2009,
down from 0.22% on June 30, 2009, and 0.76% one year ago. The
September 30, 2009, reserve ratio is the lowest reserve ratio for
a combined bank and thrift insurance fund since June 30, 1992,
when the ratio was negative 0.20%.

On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule amending the
assessment regulations to require insured depository institutions
to prepay their quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth
quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012 on December
30, 2009, along with each institution's risk-based assessment for
the third quarter of 2009.   The FDIC is asking banks to prepay
three years of premiums on Dec. 30 to raise $45 billion for the
fund.

"Today's report shows that while bank and thrift earnings
have improved, the effects of the recession continue to be
reflected in their financial performance," FDIC Chairman Sheila
Bair said in a November 24 statement.

"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.

                    2010 Failed Banks List

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

For this year, the failed banks are:

                               Loss-Share
                               Transaction Party     FDIC Cost
                  Assets of    Bank That Assumed   to Insurance
                  Closed Bank  Deposits & Bought      Fund

Barnes Banking          $827.8    {DINB Created}          $271.3
Horizon Bank          $1,400.0    Washington Federal      $539.1

                            *********

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.
