AFFILIATED MEDIA: Wants April 22 Schedules Filing Deadline
----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware has extended, at the behest of Affiliated
Media, Inc., the deadline for the filing of schedules of assets
and liabilities, schedules of executor contracts and unexpired
leases, lists of equity security holders, schedules of current
income and expenditures and statements of financial affairs, by an
additional 60 days, until April 22, 2010.

To prepare the schedules and statements, the Debtor says it would
have to compile information from books, records, and documents
relating to the claims of more than 1,000 potential creditors, as
well as the Debtor's assets and contracts, information which is
voluminous, which would require a significant expenditure of time
and effort on the part of the Debtor and its employees in the near
term, when these resources would best be put towards effectuating
the Debtor's reorganization efforts.

                      About Affiliated Media

Denver, Colorado-based Affiliated Media, Inc., aka MediaNews
Group, Inc., is the holding company of MediaNews Group Inc., which

AMACORE GROUP: Christopher Phillips Steps Down as Board Member
--------------------------------------------------------------

                      Going Concern Doubt

McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, in Ft. Lauderdale, raised substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
after auditing the Company's financial results for the year
ended December 31, 2008.  The auditors pointed that the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations and has negative
working capital.


ANTHRACITE CAPITAL: Defaults on $335 Million Credit Facilities
--------------------------------------------------------------
Anthracite Capital Inc. said the outstanding borrowings under the
(i) secured credit facility agreement dated March 7, 2008, with
BlackRock Holdco 2 Inc. were approximately $33.5 million, and
(ii) secured facilities with Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and
Morgan Stanley were about $322 million.

Under the BlackRock agreement, the company is required to
immediately repay outstanding borrowings under such facility to
the extent outstanding borrowings exceed 60% of the fair market
value of the shares of common stock of Carbon Capital II, Inc.
securing such facility.

As of Feb. 28, 2009, 60% of the market value of such shares was
less than the loan balance under the BlackRock facility.  On
March 17, 2009, Holdco 2 waived the Company's failure to repay
borrowings in accordance with this covenant until April 1, 2009
and subsequently extended this waiver until January 22, 2010.

Upon expiration of the waiver at the end of January 22, 2010, the
covenant breach continued to exist, constituting an event of
default under such facility and resulting in additional events of
default under each of the Company's secured facilities with Bank
of America, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley due to cross-
defaults. Prior to January 22, 2010, events of default already
existed under each of the Company's secured facilities due to
cross-defaults, as previously disclosed in the Company's filings
with the Securities Exchange Commission.

If any acceleration were to occur under any of the Company's
secured facilities or any of the Company's other debt instruments
in which events of defaults exist, the Company would not have
sufficient liquid assets available to repay such accelerated
indebtedness and the Company would be unable to continue to fund
its operations or continue its business.

Recent Developments:

    * Avistar's total debt balance of $11.3 million at
      December 31, 2009, was repaid on January 25, 2010, with the
      $14.0 million in proceeds from the recently announced
      license and sale of substantially all of Avistar's patent
      portfolio.

    * Avistar's revolving line of credit limit will be reduced
      from $11.3 million to $6.0 million on March 31, 2010.

Bob Kirk, CEO of Avistar, said, "Avistar continued to work
diligently to overcome marketplace and economic challenges in
2009.  Our annual results show a 19% decrease in operating
expenses, in conjunction with stable year-over-year revenues,
which produced a 38% reduction in net loss and a 63% reduction in
Adjusted EBITDA loss year over year.  In 2010, we expect to see
the full financial impact in our continued efforts to control
costs, and also see benefit from our plans to bring new products
online while uniquely positioning Avistar within the Unified
Communications (UC) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
markets.  In fact, we expect to nearly triple the number of
products and components available to our distributors and
licensing partners in 2010.

"In 2009, we dealt with a challenging global economy while we
introduced our newly developed sales channel model, which took
some time to come up to speed.  We have now consolidated our
channel partners under a handful of master distributors and made
our channel model more productive and supportable.  In addition,
our newly implemented pricing model makes our solutions among the
most cost-efficient desktop visual communications product bundles
in the industry today.  We are already noticing a beneficial
effect on our channel strategy from these two changes.

Kirk continued, "Additionally, we expanded our focus on signing
new technology licensing partners. Our goal is to provide a
substantial number of video-enabling components to a variety of
technology vendors (OEMs) to allow them to deliver superior video-
enabled products.  Avistar's 17-year history, knowledge, and
experience in the video collaboration space presents us with a
great advantage in assisting these OEMs in providing a better
visual communications product.

"Finally, the licensing and sale of a substantial majority, but
not all, of our patent portfolio provides us the necessary funding
to retire all of our outstanding debt.  This important improvement
in our balance sheet also provides us the needed working capital
in 2010 to invest in product engineering, which is necessary to
accelerate delivery of our new products and video components to
the market.  With this investment, we can better take advantage of
substantial growth within our industry, as reported by analyst
data from renowned research firms.  As our new products become
available within the visual communications, UC and VDI markets, we
believe that Avistar will be well positioned to gain additional
market share and emerge as a leader within our industry.

Kirk added, "With a backlog of contracted revenue with existing
licensing partners, a strong, experienced management team in
place, a growing product and component portfolio, a rationalized
distribution strategy, inroads in the technology licensing arena,
a stronger balance sheet, lack of debt, and the recognized value
of visual communication within businesses globally, we expect
great things from the company over the next year and into 2011."

BRYANT MANOR: Receiver Didn't Give Mortgagee Title to Rents
-----------------------------------------------------------
Under Kansas law, WestLaw reports, and as predicted by the
bankruptcy court, a state court's appointment of a receiver for
the debtor's apartment complex in prepetition foreclosure
proceedings vested in the mortgage lender the right to receive and
control the rents, which were the subject of an assignment, while
the receiver was in place, and did not vest in the lender absolute
title to all future rents.  The debtor retained an ownership
interest in the rents and profits from the apartment complex
despite its assignment of rents and the receiver's appointment,
and those rights could be enforced once the receiver was removed,
although once the debtor was restored to possession of the real
estate and the right to collect the rents and profits, the
mortgagee retained whatever lien rights it had under prepetition
law.  In re Bryant Manor, LLC --- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 114867
(Bankr. D. Kan.) (Karlin, J.).

Bryant Manor, LLC, operates a 100-unit apartment complex located
in Kansas City, Kan.  The Debtor filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. D. Kan. Case No. 09-41958) on Nov. 20, 2009, and the
restructuring is proceeding as a single asset real estate case as
contemplated under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101(51B).  Justice B. King,
Esq., at Fisher, Patterson, Sayler & Smith, in Topeka, Kan.,
represents the Debtor.  In a prepetition foreclosure action, the
District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, appointed Ronald Nolan
of Nolan Real Estate Services as a receiver on Oct. 20, 2009, and,
with the Bankruptcy Court's blessing, Mr. Nolan continues to
manage the apartment complex post-petition.


BUILDERS FIRSTSOURCE: Issues 58MM Shares at $3.5 Apiece
-------------------------------------------------------
Builders FirstSource Inc. said it is distributing at no charge to
holders of its common stock transferable subscription rights to
purchase shares of its common stock.  Holders will receive
1.6111446 subscription rights for every share of common stock
owned at the close of business on December 14, 2009, subject to
adjustments to eliminate fractional rights.  It is distributing
subscription rights exercisable for up to an aggregate of
58,571,428 shares of its common stock.

Each whole subscription right will entitle the holders to purchase
one share of its common stock at a subscription price of $3.50 per
share.  Subscribers who exercise their rights in full may also
over-subscribe for additional shares, subject to certain
limitations, to the extent additional shares are available.

In connection with the rights offering, certain holders of its
outstanding Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due
2012, which we refer to as the "2012 notes," have agreed to
exchange, at par, in transactions exempt from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, their outstanding 2012
notes for

   * up to $145.0 million aggregate principal amount of newly-
     issued Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due
     2016, which we refer to as the "016 notes,"

   * up to $130.0 million in cash from the proceeds of the rights
     offering, or

   * a combination of cash and 2016 notes, and

   * to the extent the rights offering is not fully subscribed,
     shares of its common stock.

The company refers to this exchange as the "debt exchange," and we
refer to the rights offering and the debt exchange, together with
the investment agreement and support agreement described elsewhere
in this prospectus, collectively as the "recapitalization
transactions."  Upon completion of the recapitalization
transactions, the Company will receive $75.0 million for general
corporate purposes and to pay the expenses of the recapitalization
transactions, with any remaining proceeds of the rights offering
being used to repurchase a portion of its outstanding 2012 notes
in the debt exchange.  The company will reduce outstanding
indebtedness by $130.0 million through the debt exchange.

The company has entered into an investment agreement with JLL
Partners Fund V, L.P. and Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P.,
who collectively beneficially own approximately 50% of its common
stock before giving effect to the recapitalization transactions,
under which JLL and Warburg Pincus have severally agreed to
purchase from us, at the rights offering subscription price,
unsubscribed shares of its common stock such that gross proceeds
of the rights offering will be no less than $75.0 million. In
addition, each of JLL and Warburg Pincus has agreed

   * to exchange up to $48.909 million aggregate principal amount
     of 2012 notes indirectly held by it in the debt exchange and

   * to the extent gross proceeds of the rights offering are less
     than $205.0 million, to exchange such 2012 notes for shares
     of its common stock at an exchange price equal to the rights
     offering subscription price, subject to proration from the
     participation of other holders of 2012 notes who submit for
     exchange their 2012 notes for shares of its common stock not
     subscribed for through the exercise of rights in the rights
     offering.

The company refers to JLL and Warburg Pincus as the "backstop
purchasers."

Exercising the rights and investing in its common stock involves a
high degree of risk.  We urge you to carefully read the section
entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 17 of this prospectus,
the section entitled "Risk Factors" in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and all other
information included or incorporated herein by reference in this
prospectus in its entirety before you decide whether to exercise
your rights.

                            ---------     ---------
Subscription Price          $3.50         $205,000,000  
Estimated Expenses          $0.17         $10,000,000  
Net Proceeds to Us          $3.33         $195,000,000

CAPMARK FINANCIAL: Proposes April 23 General Claims Bar Date
------------------------------------------------------------
Capmark Financial Group Inc. and its units ask the Bankruptcy
Court to establish April 23, 2010, at 5:00 p.m., as the deadline
by which each person or entity other than governmental units must
file a proof of claim based on prepetition claims.  Moreover, the
Debtors ask the Court to establish the later of April 23, 2010,
and the date that is 180 days after the Petition Date or Capmark
Investments LP's Petition Date, as applicable, as the deadline by
which governmental units must file Proofs of Claim against the
Debtors.

The voluminous nature of the Debtors' schedules of assets and
liabilities and the sheer number of potential creditors support
the need for both the General Bar Date and the Governmental Bar
Date, says Jason M. Madron, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger,
P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware.

Pursuant to Rule 2002(a)(7) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure, the Debtors propose to mail a Bar Date Notice which
contains information regarding who must file a Proof of Claim,
the procedure for filing a Proof of Claim, the consequences of
failure to timely file a Proof of Claim, and instructions for
completing a Proof of Claim.

Each person or entity that asserts a claim against a Debtor that
arose prior to the Petition Date or the Capmark Investments
Petition Date, must file an original, written proof of claim that
substantially conforms to the proof of claim form so as to be
received on or before the applicable Bar Date by the Debtors'
court-approved claims agent, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC.  A
holder that asserts a claim against multiple Debtors must file a
separate Proof of Claim Form against each Debtor.

Entities not required to file a Proof of Claim include those
whose claim is listed on the Schedules; whose claim is not
described as "disputed," "contingent," or "unliquidated,"; who
does not dispute the amount or nature of the claim as set forth
in the Schedules; and whose claim has been paid in full by the
Debtors, among others.

Any holder of a claim against any of the Debtors who is required,
but fails, to file a Proof of Claim in accordance with the Bar
Date Order on or before the applicable Bar Date will be forever
barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting that claim against
any of the Debtors, and the Debtors and their properties will be
forever discharged from any and all indebtedness or liability
with respect to that claim.  Moreover, that holder will not be
permitted to vote to accept or reject any Chapter 11 plan filed
in the Debtors' cases, participate in any distribution on account
of that claim, or receive further notices regarding that claim.

               Method for Filing a Proof of Claim

The Original Proofs of Claim must be delivered so as to be
received on or before the applicable Bar Date by:

CFGI, pursuant to that certain indenture dated March 23, 2006,
may file a single master proof of claim in the lead Chapter 11
case, Capmark Financial Group Inc., on behalf of all holders of
the notes or debentures.  The filing of the single Notice
Obligations Master Proof of Claim will automatically be deemed a
filed proof of claim in the bankruptcy case of each and every
Debtor, and the Indenture Trustees will have no obligation to
file separate proofs of claim in the cases of the Debtor-
affiliates that are jointly administered with the main case,
regardless of whether that Debtor is an issuer, guarantor, or
obligor of any nature.

         Administrative Agent's Master Proof of Claim

Guaranty Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2009, by and among CFGI,

of claim in the Lead Case on behalf of the Lenders, which Secured
Bank Debt Master Proof of Claim will automatically be deemed a
filed proof of claim in the bankruptcy case of each and every
Debtor.

           Unsecured Bank Debt Administrative Agents'
                     Master Proof of Claim

To the extent consistent with the underlying documentation of
that certain Bridge Loan Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2006,
with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent, and
the other lenders, or as otherwise permitted by agreement between
the parties, the Bridge Loan Administrative Agent may file a

CAPMARK FINANCIAL: Wants Plan Exclusivity Until Sept. 30
--------------------------------------------------------
Capmark Financial Group Inc. and its debtor affiliates ask Judge
Christopher S. Sontchi of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware, to extend their exclusive periods to file a
Chapter 11 plan through September 30, 2010, and to solicit
acceptances of that Plan through November 30, 2010.

Section 1121(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides for an initial
period of 120 days after the Petition Date of a Chapter 11 case
during which a debtor has the exclusive right to file a Chapter
11 plan.  Section 1121(c) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that,
if a debtor files a plan within the 120-day exclusive period, a
debtor has an initial period of 180 days after the Petition Date
to solicit acceptances of that Plan, during which time competing
plans may not be filed.

Where the Initial Exclusive Periods prove to be an unrealistic
timeframe, however, Section 1121(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code
allows a bankruptcy court to extend the Exclusive Periods upon a
showing of cause.

Jason M. Madron, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., in
Wilmington, Delaware, relates that the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases
are very large and extremely complex.  He adds that the Debtors
entered Chapter 11 with approximately $21 billion in debt, and
thousands of creditors.

Mr. Madron says since the Petition Date, the Debtors have focused
on stabilizing their businesses, and ensuring a smooth transition
into Chapter  11 while, at the same time, focusing on other time-
sensitive and complex aspects of the Chapter 11 cases.  Among
other significant tasks in the first few months are:

  (a) The Debtors have marketed, obtained authority to sell, and
      consummated the sale of the MSB Business, which closed on
      December 11, 2009, and the Debtors' military housing
      business, which closed on December 18, 2009.  The sale of
      the MSB Business generated in excess of $500 million of
      cash to the Debtors' estates;

  (b) The Debtors have worked expeditiously to address critical
      issues and move their Chapter 11 cases forward.  To this
      end, the Debtors have devoted substantial time and
      resources to negotiations with their major constituencies;

  (c) On December 24, 2009, the Debtors filed their schedules of
      assets and liabilities and statements of financial
      affairs;

  (d) The Debtors have been paying, and will continue to pay,
      their postpetition debts as they become due;

  (e) The Debtors are in ongoing discussions with their major
      creditor constituencies on a framework for a confirmable
      plan, and believe that progress has been made toward this
      objective; and

  (f) The Debtors and their advisors have worked diligently to
      ensure a continuing dialogue with all of the major
      constituents in their Chapter 11 cases, including the
      Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, the Debtors'
      prepetition secured and unsecured bank lenders,
      bondholders, and the U.S. Trustee.

Mr. Madron clarifies that the Debtors are not seeking an
extension of the Exclusive Periods to delay creditors or force
them to accede to the Debtors' demands.

Mr. Madron asserts that termination of the Exclusive Periods at
this critical juncture could give rise to the threat of
litigation, the filing of multiple plans, and a contentious
confirmation process resulting in increased administrative
expenses and, consequently, diminishing returns to the Debtors'
secured and unsecured creditors.

CATALYST PAPER: Extends Solicitation of Pvt. Offering to June 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst Paper Corporation said an extension of the private
exchange offer and consent solicitation for its outstanding 8 5/8%
Senior Notes due June 15, 2011, made pursuant to its Offering
Memorandum and Consent Solicitation, dated November 24, 2009, and
the accompanying letter of transmittal.  The terms of the Exchange
Offer were previously amended as described in the press release
dated January 25, 2010.

Catalyst has been advised by the exchange agent for the Exchange
Offer that, as of the close of business on January 26, 2010, the
aggregate principal amount of Old Notes that had been validly
tendered and for which related consents had been validly delivered
was approximately U.S. $29.35 million.

                       About Catalyst Paper

                           *     *     *

DBRS in November 2009 downgraded the Issuer Rating of Catalyst
Paper Corporation to B (low) from BB and the Senior Debt rating to
CCC from BB, and placed the Company's ratings Under Review with
Negative Implications.  The downgrades reflect the Company's weak
financial risk which is likely to weaken further in view of
expected continuation of soft industry conditions and follows the
Company's announcement on November 23, 2009, of its offer to
exchange its outstanding 8 5/8% Senior Debt due June 15, 2011,
with new 10% Senior Secured Notes due December 15, 2016, and
shares of its common stock.


CEDAR FAIR: S&P Changes Various Ratings on Bank Loan Facilities
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that as a result of
changes made to the structure of the original deal proposal, it
revised certain ratings related to the bank loan facilities of
Cedar Fair L.P. (B+/Stable/--).

S&P lowered the bank loan ratings on the revolving credit facility
and term loan B to 'BB-' (one notch above the 'B+' corporate
credit rating) from 'BB'.  S&P has also revised the recovery
rating on the debt to '2' from '1'.  The '2' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation of substantial (70%-90%) recovery in
the event of a payment default.

The $1.45 billion of facilities now consist of a $1.2 billion term
loan B due 2016, which were revised from $1.0 billion term loan
due 2014, and $250 million revolving credit facility maturing in
2015.

The capital structure now contemplates the issuance of
$500 million of senior unsecured debt, down from $700 million,
that will be marketed prior to the close of the transaction.
Proceeds from the transactions will be used to help refinance
existing debt associated with the $2.5 billion acquisition of
Cedar Fair by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management.

The 'B+' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on Cedar Fair
remain unchanged.

CELESTICA INC: S&P Puts 'BB-' Rating on CreditWatch Positive
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed its ratings,
including its 'BB-' long-term corporate credit rating, on Toronto-
based electronic manufacturing service provider Celestica Inc. on
CreditWatch with positive implications.

"The CreditWatch placement follows the near-term prospect of an
improved credit profile following the company's announcement that
it will exercise its option to redeem the US$223.1 million 7.625%
senior subordinated notes due 2013 from existing cash balances,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Madhav Hari.

The notes will be redeemed at a price of 103.813% of the principal
amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date.  Celestica expects to complete the repurchase in
the first quarter of 2010 ended March 31.

Following the planned redemption, Celestica will have no funded
debt outstanding given that in 2009 it had already redeemed
US$489.4 million of the principal amount of senior subordinated
notes due 2011.  As such, adjusted debt will moderate to about
US$170 million consisting of operating lease adjustments and
after-tax pension deficit.  Adjusted debt-to-EBITDA will be
nominal at approximately 0.6x.  Given the planned debt repurchase
and based on S&P's projection of Celestica achieving mid-single-
digit revenue growth in 2010, pro forma credit measures should be
strong for the current 'BB-' ratings, absent any unforeseen debt-
financed acquisition by the company.

Standard & Poor's also expects Celestica's pro forma liquidity to
remain solid, with a cash and cash equivalent balance of about
US$700 million, full availability under the company's
US$200 million bank revolver, a US$250 million accounts receivable
securitization program, and S&P's expectation of meaningful free
cash flow generation in the next 12 months.

In resolving the CreditWatch listing, Standard & Poor's will
primarily focus on: the company's growth strategy, including its
appetite for large debt-financed acquisitions; and its prospective
financial policies.  In particular, S&P would review management's
long-term tolerance for debt leverage (given its growth ambitions)
and appetite for pursuing shareholder-friendly policies, which
could potentially have a re-leveraging effect on the company in
the future.  Standard & Poor's expects to complete its review
within the next few weeks.

CIRCUIT CITY: Seeks OK of Retention Plan, Keeps Bonus List Secret
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Circuit City Stores, Inc., is asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of Virginia, in Richmond, to approve a
Liquidation Retention Plan.  Circuit City seeks authority, but not
direction, to make wind down retention payment to plan
participants.

On January 16, 2009, the Court authorized the Debtors, among other
things, to conduct going out of business sales at the Debtors'
remaining 567 stores pursuant to an agency agreement between the
Debtors and a joint venture, as agent.  On January 17, 2009, the
Agent commenced going out of business sales pursuant to the Agency
Agreement at the Debtors remaining stores.  As of March 8, 2009,
the going out of business sales at the Debtors' remaining stores
had been completed.

On August 29, 2009, the Debtors and its Creditors Committee filed
the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation of Circuit City
Stores, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors In Possession
and its Official Committee of Creditors Holding General Unsecured
Claims.  The associated disclosure statement was approved on
September 24, 2009, and confirmation of the Plan is currently
scheduled for February 11, 2010.  Generally, the Plan provides for
the liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

The Debtors currently have 23 full-time employees to assist with
the liquidation process.  The Debtors believe that their ability
to keep their remaining employees, however, is threatened by three
primary factors.

To assure the continued employment of Plan Participants and to
motivate them to continue to expend the additional effort required
of them to efficiently liquidate the Debtors' estates, as well as
to continue to manage an efficient and coordinated chapter 11
process, the Debtors have worked with their restructuring
professionals to develop an appropriate but limited liquidation
retention plan.  The Debtors formulated the Liquidation Retention
Plan with the goal of rewarding the substantial contribution and
performance of the Plan Participants going forward.

The Liquidation Retention Plan consists of retention bonus
payments to the Plan Participants based upon their continued
service to the Debtors for a specified period of time.  Although
the total payments under the Plan will vary, on a weekly basis,
the Debtors estimate that the Debtors will accrue $9,400.

None of the Plan Participants are members of the Debtors'
management or "insiders" and are not persons in control of the
Debtors such that they set overall corporate policy or perform
other executive duties.  Titles include Director, Manager,
Supervisor, Project Manager, Specialist, Senior Analyst, Associate
Analyst, Senior Processor, and Processor.

In a separate request, the Debtors seek permission to keep the
list of employees subject to the Retention Plan classified.  The
Debtors explain the List contains confidential and sensitive
information concerning each Plan Participant's annual compensation
and bonus structure.  If the List were made public, the Debtors
believe that it could be detrimental to employee morale.  To avoid
detrimentally affecting employee morale at this critical stage of
the Debtors' cases, the Debtors submit that the List should be
sealed and that good cause exists for such relief.  The Debtors
will deliver copies of the List to chambers for in camera review
by the Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee for
the Eastern District of Virginia and counsel to the Creditors'
Committee.

CITIZENS REPUBLIC: Fitch Downgrades Issuer Default Rating to 'B-'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the long-term Issuer Default Rating
for Citizens Republic Bancorp, Inc., to 'B-' from 'B', and its
principal bank subsidiaries to 'B-' from 'B+'.  The Rating Outlook
remains Negative.

Fitch's downgrade of CRBC's ratings follows the company's fourth
quarter 2009 (4Q'09) operating results and the announcement of
deferral on its hybrid securities.  CRBC announced that in
consultation with regulators, it will be deferring on its dividend
payments for these securities, including its $300 million in
preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the capital
purchase program.  Fitch considers the company's deferral on its
preferred securities to be non-performance, which translates into
a 'C' rating.

The downgrade of the long-term IDRs reflects Fitch's belief that
prolonged credit stress will continue to hamper the company's
performance and erode currently sound capital levels.  CRBC
reported a net loss of $65 million in 4Q'09 after loan loss
provisions of $84 million.  Credit losses and nonperforming assets
remain elevated.  To date, the most severe credit pressure has
occurred in CRBC's land and construction and development loan
books, but Fitch anticipates that the company will experience
increased credit stress in other portions of the commercial real
estate loan portfolio and consumer loan book.  CRBC is
concentrated in Michigan and Ohio markets, many of which have
experienced some of the most significant stress in the country in
terms of housing values, commercial real estate prices, and
unemployment.  Consequently, Fitch anticipates the company will
likely operate at a loss in 2010 and that losses will erode
current capital levels, supporting the Negative Rating Outlook.
Although CRBC has deferred on its preferred securities, Fitch
believes its current capital levels, core deposit base, liquidity,
and parent company liquidity support a long-term and short-term
IDR of 'B-' and 'B', respectively.

Fitch's rating actions are the result of a focused review of
Fitch's 'Master Global Financial Institutions Criteria' dated
Dec. 29, 2009.  This review concentrated in particular on credit
risk, capitalization, liquidity, and stress testing.  In
performing its analysis of Recovery Ratings, Fitch employed some
assumptions that were more conservative than those outlined in its
criteria 'Recovery Ratings for Financial Institutions' dated
Dec. 30, 2009.  Some of the recovery rates for certain loan
categories were assumed to be lower to reflect the current
distressed credit environment.

Citizens Republic Bancorp, Inc., is an $11.9 billion bank holding
company headquartered in Flint, MI that operates 229 offices and
267 ATMS in the Midwest.  It serves markets in Michigan, Ohio,
Wisconsin, and Indiana as Citizens Bank, and operates F&M Bank in
Iowa.  CB Wealth Management, National Association is a limited-
purpose trust charter.

Fitch has downgraded these ratings:

Citizens Republic Bancorp, Inc.

  -- Long-term IDR to 'B-' from 'B'.
  -- Subordinated debt to 'CC/RR6' from 'CCC/RR6';
  -- Preferred stock to 'C/RR6' from 'CC/RR6'.

Citizens Bank
F&M Bank-Iowa

  -- Long-term deposits to 'B/RR3' from 'BB-/RR3';
  -- Long-term IDR to 'B-' from 'B+'.

CB Wealth Management, National Association

  -- Long-term IDR to 'B-' from 'B+'.

Citizens Funding Trust I

  -- Preferred stock downgraded to 'C/RR6' from 'CC/RR6'.

Fitch has affirmed these ratings:

Citizens Republic Bancorp, Inc.

  -- Short-term IDR at 'B';
  -- Individual at 'D/E';
  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support floor at 'NF';
  -- Rating Outlook Negative.

Citizens Bank
F&M Bank-Iowa

  -- Short-term deposits at 'B';
  -- Short-term IDR 'B';
  -- Individual at 'D/E';
  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support floor at 'NF';
  -- Rating Outlook Negative.

CB Wealth Management, National Association

  -- Short-term IDR at 'B';
  -- Individual at 'D/E';
  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support floor at 'NF';
  -- Rating Outlook Negative.


CITIZENS REPUBLIC: S&P Cuts Counterparty Credit Ratings to 'B-/C'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
counterparty credit ratings on Citizens Republic Bancorp Inc. to
'B-/C' from 'BB-/B'.  At the same time, S&P lowered the
counterparty credit ratings on its banking subsidiaries, Citizens
Bank and F&M Bank - Iowa to 'B+/B' from 'BB+/B'.  The outlooks are
negative.

"The lowering of the counterparty credit ratings reflects S&P's
expectation for Citizens' profitability to remain weak during
2010," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sunsierre Newsome.
"And the lowering of the ratings on the preferred securities
reflects the application of S&P's criteria with respect to payment
deferral on dividend payments."

The company announced that it plans to defer regularly scheduled
interest payments on its trust-preferred securities, including
dividend payments on its Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)
preferred stock.  The decision to defer these payments resulted
from the bank's sustained and substantial net losses and was made
in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

"Citizens' profitability to-date has been weak compared with that
of peers, due to significant credit losses.  S&P expects it will
likely remain weak for at least the next year, based on S&P's own
results from stress testing," added Ms. Newsome.

Citizens has continued to suffer significant and mounting credit
losses over the past year.  Fourth-quarter credit quality
statistics remain at elevated levels, which S&P expects to
continue for some time.  In S&P's view, credit loss deterioration
could accelerate to even higher levels if economic conditions were
to deteriorate further in the bank's economically weak Midwest
footprint.


CLASSIC SLEEP: Court Approves Sale & Restructuring Plan
-------------------------------------------------------
Only 25 days after filing for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code, Judge Nancy V. Alquist on Friday approved the sale of
Classic Sleep Products to Classic Brands LLC, which was formed by
the current management team and the company's Chinese
manufacturing partner.

Classic's current management team led by CEO Mike Zippelli will
increase its majority ownership stake in the business with funding
provided by JMX Capital Partners and Classic's senior lender, CIT
Commercial Services.  JMX is partially owned by Xiong Yu of
Delandis Trading Corp. of Fujian, China, and Classic's long-time
manufacturing partner.  Together, the parties are contributing
$10 million to recapitalize the company.

"Classic Brands creates a new paradigm in the mattress industry
with this transaction; superior U.S. design, engineering, sales,
logistics and marketing; and world-class, state-of-the-art Chinese
manufacturing, all harnessed to deliver incredible value to our
customers," said Mr. Zippelli.  "We see this move as a very
exciting opportunity to solidify Classic's position as one of the
leading value brands in the United States.  This strong infusion
of capital will strengthen our current business and position the
company for dynamic future growth."

Mr. Zippelli added that what makes this deal different than other
Chinese-U.S. partnerships is that Classic is using all its
manufacturing specifications and quality controls to produce its
value-priced line-up in China, not like others who are just
importing beds produced by Chinese manufacturers.

"This is not a license deal, but rather our own people working in
China to produce a better made value-priced mattress," he added.

Mr. Zippelli said that several years ago he became convinced that
Chinese manufactures like Delandis, who were building state-of-
the-art manufacturing facilities with the latest equipment and
quality control procedures provided a real competitive advantage
over domestically produced goods, especially quality memory foam
mattresses.  So instead of competing, he focused on how best to
create a marriage between the companies.

"When you look at the traditional problems a Chinese manufacturer
has in entering the U.S. market, the lack of a sales force,
communication issues, poor customer service and logistics, this
was something our domestic team excelled at.  Meanwhile, they
could make a fantastic product well below our domestic cost.
Together, we have become quite a team," he said.

Xiong "Sam" Yu, one of the partners in JMX, offered these thoughts
on the new relationship.

"Our relationship with Classic has enabled us to better understand
and appreciate the U.S. home furnishings market.  Working with
Mike and his team, we were able to foresee many of the problems
other Chinese manufacturers have had in terms of navigating the
U.S. market and it has made our relationship very successful for
both parties," said Mr. Yu.  "This deal will enable us to expand

COLLINS & AIKMAN: Ex-CEO Stockman, et al., to Settle SEC Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chad Bray at Dow Jones Newswires reports the U.S. Securities &
Exchange Commission has reached agreements in principle to settle
a civil lawsuit against former Collins & Aikman Corp. Chief
Executive David Stockman, a former director and six other former
executives.

Dow Jones relates that in a court order Thursday, U.S. District
Judge Shira A. Scheindlin in Manhattan said the SEC has advised
the court that it has reached agreements in principle with
Stockman, the former White House budget director under U.S.
President Ronald Reagan, and seven others to resolve the case
against them.

According to the report, the judge granted a request to stay
proceedings against those defendants "to provide the parties the
opportunity to finalize their agreements and seek final commission
approval."

There have been settlement discussions with a ninth individual
defendant, but no agreement has been reached, the judge said,
according to the report.

The report relates Andrew Weissman, Mr. Stockman's lawyer, said he
could confirm that the discussions with the SEC have reached a
point where they felt they should notify the court, but he
declined to discuss the details of any potential agreement.

A SEC spokesman declined comment Thursday.

Dow Jones recalls the SEC has alleged an accounting fraud at
Collins & Aikman in which the company allegedly inflated its
quarterly earnings from fourth-quarter 2001 until early 2005 by
improperly accounting for payments from suppliers.

Dow Jones also notes that in 2009, the U.S. Attorney's office in
Manhattan dropped securities fraud and other criminal charges
against Mr. Stockman and three former Collins & Aikman executives
in a parallel criminal case after reassessing the evidence.

Dow Jones relates Mr. Stockman had said he committed no wrongdoing
and did his best to keep the company afloat during a meltdown in
the U.S. auto industry.

The company sought bankruptcy protection in May 2005, days after
Stockman's ouster from its board of directors. The company has
since been liquidated, with other auto suppliers buying its
business units.

Case No. 05-55927).  Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis

Disclosure Statement explaining that plan.  On Dec. 22, 2006, they
filed an Amended Plan and on Jan. 22, 2007, filed a modified
Amended Plan.  On Jan. 25, 2007, the Court approved the adequacy

confirmed the Debtors' Liquidation Plan which became effective on
Oct. 12, 2007.


COMVERSE TECHNOLOGY: S&P Puts B+ Rating on CreditWatch Developing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said it placed its ratings on
New York City-based Comverse Technology Inc., including the 'B+'
corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with developing
implications, which indicates that S&P could raise or lower the
ratings.

These actions reflect uncertainties regarding Comverse's ability
to comply with SEC period reporting requirements by Feb. 8, 2010.
Compliance with SEC financial reporting requirements by this date
is a key condition of Comverse's June 2009 settlement agreement
with the SEC regarding the improper backdating of stock options
and other accounting practices.  If Comverse fails to meet these
financial reporting requirements, the SEC could initiate
administrative proceedings that may result in the assessment of
penalties such as fines, or possibly the revocation of Comverse's
registration statement.  Despite its non-filing status, Comverse
has provided Standard & Poor's with sufficient operating and
financial data to maintain the rating.

The risk of financial filing delays arises from Comverse's
dependency on the receipt of financial information from Verint
Inc., a majority-owned ubsidiary (which is also delinquent in
required SEC filings), as well as the completion of its other
reporting and disclosure processes required to meet its periodic
reporting obligations.  In addition to possible SEC penalties
resulting from Comverse's inability to be a current SEC filer by
Feb. 8, 2010, Comverse's consolidated credit profile could be
weakened by Verint's inability to meet reporting requirements
contained in its senior secured credit facility, which require
Verint to provide lenders with audited financial statements by
April 30, 2010.  Failure to provide audited statements by this
date would constitute an event of default under the credit
facility, although there is a one-month grace period.  While
Comverse does not guarantee Verint's debt, S&P believes a default
by Verint would weaken Comverse's consolidated business and
financial profiles.

"In resolving the CreditWatch, S&P will monitor Comverse's
progress in meeting the financial reporting requirements under its
settlement with the SEC," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Susan Madison.  S&P could lower the rating if the SEC instituted
severe penalties for failure to maintain current financial
filings, which weakened financial protection measures.  S&P could
also lower the rating if Comverse's majority-owned subsidiary,
Verint, appears unlikely to provide audited financial statements
to its lenders by April 30, 2010, since an event of default by
Verint would likely weaken Comverse's consolidated credit profile.
On the other hand, if Comverse is able to meet its SEC filing
requirements in the near term, S&P's assessment Comverse's
business and financial risk profiles could result in a rating
upgrade.


CONGOLEUM CORP: Reaches Settlement with 9 Insurance Groups
----------------------------------------------------------
Congoleum Corporation reported that it has reached a settlement
with nine insurance groups and the New Jersey insurance guaranty
associations.  Under the terms of the agreements, the insurance
companies and the guaranty associations will pay $100 million to
settle certain policies issued to Congoleum.  The settlement is
subject to court approval and other conditions.

Roger S. Marcus, Chairman of the Board, commented, "I am
absolutely thrilled to have finally resolved our disputes with the
principal insurance companies that have been opposing our
reorganization efforts.  Their opposition has been far and away
the greatest obstacle in getting a plan confirmed.  With the
conclusion of this substantial insurance settlement and the
support for the plan that we have from all creditor committees, we
expect a much smoother road ahead.  While our plan still requires
a formal creditor vote and other procedural steps, we fully expect
to see it confirmed and have Congoleum emerge from bankruptcy in
the second quarter of 2010."

Committee of holders of the Company's 8-5/8 % Senior Notes due
August 1, 2008; and Congoleum jointly filed a joint plan of
reorganization.  Various objections to the Joint Plan were filed.
In June 2008, the Bankruptcy Court issued a ruling that the Joint
Plan was not legally confirmable.

In August 2008, the Bondholders' Committee, the ACC, the FCR,
representatives of holders of prepetition settlements and
Congoleum entered into a term sheet describing the proposed
material terms of a new plan of reorganization and a settlement of
avoidance litigation with respect to prepetition claim settlement.
Certain insurers and a large bondholder filed objections to the
Litigation Settlement or reserved their rights to object to
confirmation of the Amended Joint Plan.  The Bankruptcy Court
approved the Litigation Settlement in October 2008.  The Amended
Joint Plan was filed in November 2008.

In January 2009, certain insurers filed a motion for summary
judgment seeking denial of confirmation of the Amended Joint Plan.
On February 26, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court rendered an opinion
denying confirmation of the Amended Joint Plan.  Moreover, the
Bankruptcy Court dismissed Congoleum's bankruptcy case.

On February 27, 2009, Congoleum and the Bondholders' Committee
appealed the Order of Dismissal and the ruling denying plan
confirmation to the U.S. District Court for the District of New
Jersey.  The District Court overturned the dismissal order, and
assumed jurisdiction of the bankruptcy proceedings.


CONGOLEUM CORP: Chapter 11 Exit Seen in Second Quarter
------------------------------------------------------
Congoleum Corporation on January 28, 2010, filed a motion seeking
the approval of the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey for settlement agreements with nine insurance groups
and the New Jersey insurance guaranty associations.

Subject to various requirements set forth in the settlement
agreements and the approval of the District Court, the insurance
companies will pay $100 million to settle certain policies issued
to Congoleum and the amount will be paid to a plan trust of which
$97 million will be available for the payment of asbestos claims.
A hearing on the motion has been scheduled for February 19, 2010.

Roger S. Marcus, Chairman of the Board, commented, "I am
absolutely thrilled to have finally resolved our disputes with the
principal insurance companies that have been opposing our
reorganization efforts.  Their opposition has been far and away
the greatest obstacle in getting a plan confirmed. With the
conclusion of this substantial insurance settlement and the
support for the plan that we have from all creditor committees, we
expect a much smoother road ahead.  While our plan still requires
a formal creditor vote and other procedural steps, we fully expect
to see it confirmed and have Congoleum emerge from bankruptcy in
the second quarter of 2010."

In December, Congoleum requested the U.S. District Court for the
District of New Jersey, which is presiding over Congoleum's
bankruptcy case, to adjourn the hearing on the disclosure
statement with respect to the pending Second Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization scheduled for December 7, 2009 until a date in the
first two weeks of January to be determined by the District Court.
The request was made jointly with the other plan proponents, the
Official Committee of Bondholders and the Asbestos Claimants'
Committee, and the request was granted by the District Court.

Mr. Marcus had explained the Company was actively engaged in
settlement negotiations with the insurers that have not previously
settled their coverage disputes with the Company.  Mr. Marcus at
that time said a plan could be confirmed in the first half of
2010.

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 27, 2009, Congoleum Corp. filed
with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey a
Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization and an explanatory
disclosure statement on October 22.  The confirmation hearings are
scheduled to commence on March 29, 2010.

Congoleum filed the Second Amended Plan, at the behest of the
District Court.  After reversing an order by the bankruptcy court
that denied confirmation of Congoleum's plan and dismissing the
chapter 11 case, the District Court directed the Debtors to file a
new plan of reorganization that would provide for court review of
the payments made to claimants' counsel and requested briefing on
additional confirmation issues.

In general, the Second Amended Plan provides, among other things,
for the issuance of injunctions under section 524(g) of the
Bankruptcy Code that result in the channeling of all asbestos
related liabilities of the Company into a Plan Trust.  The Second
Amended Plan also provides for the issuance of 50.1% of the shares
of newly created Congoleum common stock to the trust, and 49.9% of
the shares of newly created Congoleum common stock to the holders
of allowed senior note claims.

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

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

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

COOPER-STANDARD: Gets Nod to Hire JLL as Real Estate Adviser
------------------------------------------------------------
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. and its affiliated debtors obtained
court approval to employ Jones Lang LaSalle Michigan LLC as their
real estate consultant effective December 16, 2009.

The Debtors tapped the firm to assist them in analyzing and
evaluating their four leases for real properties located in and
around the Detroit metropolitan area.  Specifically, JLL will be
tasked to:

  (1) review all leased facilities and determine the Debtors'
      ongoing leasing requirements;

  (2) identify leasing opportunities advantageous to the Debtors
      throughout the Detroit metropolitan area;

  (3) negotiate favorable lease terms for the Debtors; and

  (4) provide testimony to the Court if necessary.

Timothy Hefferon, CSHI vice-president, general counsel &
secretary, says the firm is well-suited to serve as the Debtors'
real estate consultant because of its extensive experience in
complex Chapter 11 cases, and because of its familiarity with the
Debtors' business and the leased properties.

JLL began working with the Debtors in December to evaluate the
leases and assist them in determining whether to assume or reject
the leases, according to Mr. Hefferon.

Under a December 16 agreement between JLL and the Debtors, JLL's
compensation will be commission-based only.  In the event the
Debtors execute a lease for space including a renewal or
extension of a lease, if any, JLL will be entitled to receive a
commission based on the applicable market rates, as is customary
in the commercial leasing industry.  These commissions are
generally paid directly by the third party landlords.

The execution and delivery of a lease by the lessor, sublessor or
its agent and the Debtors is the only prerequisite to the earning
of the commission.  The Debtors agreed that they will seek to
have the landlord pay the commission and to have any lease
entered into by the Debtors include the Debtors' right to offset
commissions not paid when due against rent under the lease, in
which event the Debtors will pay the commission to JLL, subject
to any holdback required under the Court's prior order approving
interim compensation of professionals.

The Debtors also agreed to indemnify JLL for all claims, losses,
liabilities and expenses in connection with its employment.

A full-text copy of the December 16 agreement is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/CSHI_JLLAgreement.pdf

In an affidavit, James Becker, market director of JLL, assures
the Court that the firm does not hold or represent interest
adverse to the Debtors' estate and that the firm is a
"disinterested person" under Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

COOPER-STANDARD: Wants Immediate Dismissal of Cooper Tire Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.
and Cooper-Standard Automotive Canada Ltd. filed a motion for
summary judgment, seeking dismissal of the complaint filed by
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company.

To recall, Cooper-Tire filed the complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to compel CSHI to
remit about $60 million in tax refunds to the company.  The tax
refunds were received by CSA Canada from the Canada Revenue
Agency in July 2009.

Cooper Tire asserts ownership of the tax refunds based on the
terms of a 2004 stock purchase agreement that was executed in
connection with the transfer of its stock to CSHI.  Under the
agreement, Cooper Tire is reportedly entitled to all refunds of
its taxes and interest received by CSHI or any of its units.

In support of their motion, CSHI, et al. also submitted in Court
an opening brief and a declaration executed by a certain Edward
Jacobs.  The documents were filed under seal as they reportedly
contain confidential information.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors expressed support
for the approval of the motion, saying CSA Canada is the owner of
the tax refunds.

"Because CSA-Canada was the entity that overpaid the tax and is
the recipient of the tax refunds, it is both the legal and
equitable owner of the tax refunds," said the Creditors
Committee's attorney, Maris Finnegan, Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor LLP, in New York.

Ms. Finnegan pointed out that Cooper Tire has nothing more than a
contractual right under the stock purchase agreement against
CSHI.  She added that CSHI also does not have "legal or equitable
right" to the tax refunds and thus could not hold those refunds
in trust for Cooper Tire or anyone.

Ms. Finnegan also criticized Cooper Tire's move to implicate CSA
Canada in the complaint, saying the Canadian unit was not a party
to the stock purchase agreement that created Cooper Tire's claim
against CSHI.

"The [Creditors Committee] submits that there was never any
legitimate dispute on these issues in the first place, and
discovery has been an unnecessary waste of estate resources," Ms.
Finnegan said in court papers.

"Summary judgment for the defendants is appropriate and any
remedies sought by Cooper Tire in its amended complaint to
recover on its unsecured contract claims outside of a plan of
reorganization against [CSHI] must be denied," she further said.

        Cooper Tire Wants Summary Judgment Motion Denied

Cooper Tire asked the Court to deny the motion for summary
judgment, saying the motion is without merit.

Jeffrey Waxman, Esq., at Morris James LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, said Cooper Tire's entitlement to the tax refunds "is
not akin to a garden-variety contractual right to payment."

Mr. Waxman argued that a provision under the stock purchase
agreement entitles Cooper Tire to all tax refunds.  "This is not
a mere contractual right to payment," he said.

According to Mr. Waxman, the parties' own conduct under the
agreement confirms Cooper Tire's entitlement to the tax refunds.
He pointed out that for years, CSHI and the other defendants
turned over to Cooper Tire the tax refunds they had received.

"Although CSA-Canada may have written the checks to the Canada
Revenue Agency for the taxes giving rise to the refunds in
dispute, the parties to the [stock purchase agreement] agreed to
treat those refunds as if Cooper Tire had paid the corresponding
taxes," Mr. Waxman pointed out.

Mr. Waxman criticized what he described as "unfair conduct" of
CSHI, et al.  He said that Cooper Tire and the defendants worked
cooperatively over the years to secure the tax refunds but, in
the end, the defendants allegedly secreted away the refunds by
disbursing them to CS Automotive's units worldwide despite
stating publicly in their filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that Cooper Tire was entitled to those
refunds.

Mr. Waxman, on behalf of Cooper Tire, filed a motion for summary
judgment in favor of the company and a motion for leave to file
reply brief in support of the company's motion for summary
judgment.

In its motion for summary judgment, Cooper Tire argues that under
federal common law and Delaware law, the tax refunds are not part
of the defendants' bankruptcy estates on grounds that the
defendants hold those funds in trust for the benefit of the
company.  The motion seeks for the immediate return of the tax
refunds already received as well as additional refunds yet to be
received by CSA Canada, and an imposition of trust over the
refunds that were already issued.

Cooper Tire's motion for summary judgment was criticized by the
Creditors Committee, which argued that the company "has raised no
issue of genuine material fact regarding the equitable ownership
of the tax refunds" and that the company has underscored that
"there is no genuine issue of material fact disputing that CSA
Canada was the entity that paid the taxes that generated the tax
refunds."

COREL CORP: Shareholders Approve Stock Consolidation
----------------------------------------------------
Corel Corporation said shareholders approved its stock
consolidation.  The consolidation represented the second and final
step in the acquisition of Corel by Corel Holdings, L.P., a
limited partnership controlled by an affiliate of Vector Capital.
Following approval of the Consolidation, Corel filed articles of
amendment to effect the consolidation with the result that Corel
is now wholly-owned by Corel Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates.

Shareholders other than Corel Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates
will receive cash consideration of U.S.$4.00 in respect of each
pre-consolidation share held by such holder.

Corel's common shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ stock
market and the Toronto Stock Exchange promptly following the
consolidation, and thereafter Corel will cease to be a reporting
issuer under Canadian law and its reporting obligations under U.S.
securities laws will be suspended.

Further information about the consolidation and how shareholders
may receive the cash consideration for their pre-consolidation
shares is available in Corel's proxy statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian securities
regulatory authorities on December 29, 2009.

                     About Corel Corp.

Corel Corp. (NASDAQ:CREL) (TSX:CRE) -- http://www.corel.com/-- is
one of the world's top software companies with more than
100 million active users in over 75 countries.  The Company
provides high quality, affordable and easy-to-use Graphics and
Productivity and Digital Media software.  The Company's products
are sold through a scalable distribution platform comprised of
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), the Company's global
e-Stores, and the Company's international network of resellers and
retail vendors.

At August 31, 2009, the Company had $189.7 million in total assets
against $199.7 million in total liabilities, resulting in
$10.0 million in shareholders' deficit.

Corel's working capital deficiency at August 31, 2009, was
$10.5 million, an increase of $7.7 million from the November 30,
2008, working capital deficiency of $2.8 million.

In November 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its
long-term corporate credit ratings on Ottawa-based packaged
software provider Corel Corp. to 'B-' from 'B'.  S&P also lowered
the issue-level rating on the company's senior secured credit
facility by one notch to 'B-' from 'B'.  The '3' recovery rating
on the debt is unchanged.


CORUS ENTERTAINMENT: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating on Senior Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its issue-
level and recovery ratings to Toronto-based Corus Entertainment
Inc.'s proposed C$350 million senior unsecured notes due 2017.
S&P rate the notes 'BB' (the same as the corporate credit rating
on the company), with a recovery rating of '4', indicating S&P's
expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery for noteholders in the
event of a payment default.  Corus will use the proceeds to
refinance a portion of the company's existing debt.

In addition, S&P assigned its 'BB' debt rating to the company's
C$500 million shelf registration.  The notes are being issued
under the shelf registration.

"The 'BB' corporate credit rating on Corus reflects what S&P view
as the company's significant financial risk profile and
challenging industry fundamentals, including the cyclical nature
of the media industry, particularly for advertising and content,
and competitive operating environment," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Lori Harris.

These factors are partially offset, in S&P's opinion, by the solid
market position of Corus' core specialty television and radio
businesses and by the revenue diversity these assets provide.  The
rating also reflects S&P's assessment of the positive advertising
growth dynamics for the specialty television industry and the
favorable Canadian broadcasting regulatory regime, which limits
competition.

DELTA AIR: To Invest in Customer Experience, Fleet Efficiency
-------------------------------------------------------------
Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) will invest $1 billion, or about
$300 million per year, through mid-2013 to improve the customer
experience in the air and on the ground.  The capital investment
will improve the consistency and level of service provided to
Delta's BusinessElite, First Class and elite-level flyers, as well
as increasing the efficiency of the airline's fleet.  Planned
enhancements include:

    * Installing full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite on 90
      trans-oceanic aircraft, including 14 Boeing 767-400ERs, 52
      Boeing 767-300ERs, 16 Boeing 747-400s and eight Boeing
      777-200ERs.  Upon completion, each of these fleets will
      have full flat bed seats on all aircraft.

    * Adding in-seat audio and video on demand throughout
      Economy Class on 16 Boeing 747-400 and 52 Boeing 767-300ER
      aircraft.  With these additions, Delta will offer
      personal, in-seat entertainment for both BusinessElite and
      Economy class customers on all wide-body aircraft.

    * Adding First Class cabins to 66 CRJ-700 aircraft operated
      by Delta Connection carriers ASA, Comair and SkyWest,
      bringing to 219 the number of regional aircraft with First
      Class seating.

    * Completing the modification of 269 pre-merger Northwest
      aircraft to feature Delta's signature blue leather seats,
      updated lighting and enhanced cabin amenities such as
      increased overhead bin space on pre-merger Northwest 757-
      200s.

    * Installing winglets on more than 170 Boeing 767-300ER,
      757-200 and 737-800 aircraft to extend aircraft range and
      improve fuel efficiency by as much as five percent.

    * Renovating and expanding Delta's Los Angeles Sky Club
      lounge, and introducing new Sky Club locations in Seattle,
      Philadelphia and Indianapolis.

"Delta's planned fleet and product investments mark the most
significant investment we have made in our customers in more than
a decade," said Delta CEO Richard Anderson.  "Our premium
travelers tell us that the comfort of a flat bed seat with direct
aisle access, a first class experience on regional jets and in-
flight entertainment are important factors in their choice of
carrier."

"This investment will be made while staying well within the level
of our historical capital expenditures," said Ed Bastian, Delta's
president.  "Rather than invest in new aircraft, Delta will be
spending its capital to improve the quality and consistency of the
on-board product and efficiency of the aircraft we already own."

Delta currently offers the most on-demand entertainment among U.S.
carriers with more than 100 domestic aircraft equipped with in-
seat audio and video on demand.  Delta also continues to rapidly
expand in-flight Wi-Fi service, which is available on more than
340 aircraft and more than 1,200 flights each day.  Delta, the
largest operator of Wi-Fi enabled aircraft in the world, plans to
have more than 530 aircraft equipped with Wi-Fi by mid-2010.

Delta's upcoming fleet and product investments build on recently
announced improvements including the re-launch of the Red Coat
program at Delta's international hub at JFK and subsequently at
all domestic hubs; the addition of BusinessElite service on
Delta's transcontinental routes between New York-JFK and Los
Angeles and San Francisco; the introduction of the full flat bed
seats on all flights between the United States and London-
Heathrow; and the announcement of plans to create a domestic hub
at Delta's No. 1 business airport -- New York- LaGuardia, subject
to government approvals.

FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT: Unsec. Creditors Approve Reorganization Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Majority of Fountain Powerboat Industries' unsecured creditors --
including National City, Baja Marine Corp., Bank of America, GE
Commercial Distribution, Key Bank and Textron Financial --
approved the Company's plan of reorganization filed in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of North Carolina,
according to Sounding Trade Only Today.

The Plan divides the claims against the Company into nine classes
and calls for the "allowed unsecured claims" to receive a share of
$1 million in full satisfaction of the claims.  The aggregate
amount of the claims is an estimated $3.39 million so a cash
distribution of $1 million among all unsecured claims would
provide a payment to claim holders within a range of 5% to 18%,
says report citing papers filed with the court.

Sounding Trade notes that the Plan contemplates that the best
opportunities for creditors lies in

   * continued operation of the business;

   * modification and restructuring of the existing secured debt;
     and

   * satisfaction of the unsecured claims by means of one cash
     payment from a capital advance funded by the party acquiring
     the new equity interests in the reorganized debtors.

The reorganized company would continue to operate as a
boatbuilder, with funding from Liberty Associates used as the
primary means to put the plan in place and provide payment to the
holders of allowed claims.

Fountain Powerboat Industries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection on August 24, 2009 (Bankr. E.D. N.C. Case No. 09-
07132).  The Company's affiliates -- Fountain Powerboats, Inc.,
Fountain Dealers' Factory Superstore, Inc., and Baja by Fountain,
Inc., also filed for bankruptcy.  John A. Northen, Esq., and
Stephanie Osborne-Rodgers, Esq., at Northen Blue, LLP, assist
Fountain Powerboat in its restructuring efforts.  Fountain
Powerboat listed $3 in assets and $19,619,331 in liabilities.

Fremont is not prosecuting its own chapter 11 plan.  Moreover,

holders of Fremont's 7.875% Senior Notes due 2009, the holders of
general unsecured claims against Fremont, the holders of the 9%
Trust Originated Preferred Securities issued by Fremont General
Financing I, the holders of claims subordinated under Section
510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the holders of Fremont's common
stock in different fashions.  The five rival plans contemplate
full payment of general unsecured claims and retention of equity
interests.

FRONTIER DRILLING: Liquidity Concerns Cue S&P to Junk Ratings
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Frontier Drilling ASA to 'CCC' from 'B-'.  At the same
time, S&P placed all its ratings on the company on CreditWatch
with developing implications.

In addition, S&P lowered the rating on the senior secured credit
facility to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  S&P kept the recovery rating on this
debt at '2', indicating S&P's expectation of substantial (70%-90%)
recovery of principal in the event of a payment default.  S&P also
lowered the rating on the second-lien term loan to 'CC' from
'CCC'.  The recovery rating remains '6', indicating S&P's
expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

"The downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that the company's
liquidity at Dec. 31, 2009, of $35 million will decline
meaningfully -- below $10 million during the first quarter -- due
to significant unplanned downtime with its Phoenix rig and the
inability to successfully recontract its Seillean FPSO rig," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Marc Bromberg.  Given this
scenario, S&P expects the company to utilize most of its available
liquidity and breach its fourth-quarter minimum EBITDA covenant
requirement under both its first- and second-lien term loan
amendments.

Bergen, Norway-based Frontier Drilling has experienced significant
unplanned downtime at its Phoenix and Seillean vessels,
exacerbating the company's already weak financial profile.  The
Phoenix has been out of service since November 2009 following
repairs to its thrusters.  Although Frontier expects the Phoenix
to resume operations by mid-February, S&P is concerned about
potential delays and the timing implications on liquidity and cash
inflows, at which point liquidity could be very thin to meet
operating and capital costs or interest requirements.  Compounding
this concern, the FPSO vessel Seillean has been off contract since
October, following the completion of its contract with Petrobras
and Frontier has not successfully signed another contract.   The
vessel is currently "hot-stacked," and is incurring meaningful
operating expenses during this period.

A CreditWatch with developing implications indicates that ratings
could be raised, lowered, or affirmed.  If the company
successfully resumes operations on the Phoenix vessel in a timely
manner with no unexpected downtime through at least the third
quarter, S&P could raise ratings as S&P could expect a meaningful
cash flow contribution which could improve liquidity and possibly
alleviate covenant concerns.  Also, a successful contract
negotiation for Seillean, in a timely fashion could bolster cash
flow and liquidity.   However, S&P has a high degree of
uncertainty associated with either of these outcomes.


FX REAL ESTATE: Las Vegas Unit Enters Lock Up & Plan Support Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FX Real Estate and Entertainment Inc. said that its remaining
Las Vegas subsidiary entered into a Lock Up and Plan Support
Agreement with the first lien lenders, certain of the second lien
lenders and the first and second lien agents under the Las Vegas
subsidiary's $475 million mortgage loans, and LIRA LLC, a
corporate affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman, Paul C. Kanavos and
Brett Torino, who are directors, executive officers and/or greater
than 10% stockholders of the Company.

Purpose of the New Lock Up Agreement is to pursue an orderly
liquidation of the Company's Las Vegas subsidiary for the benefit
of its creditors pursuant to a prearranged sale of the Las Vegas
subsidiary's Las Vegas property under a prepackaged chapter 11
bankruptcy case to be filed by the Las Vegas subsidiary.  The Las
Vegas subsidiary is currently in default under its $475 million
mortgage loans secured by its Las Vegas property, which is
substantially the Company's entire business.

On Jan. 22, 2010, the parties to the New Lock Up Agreement amended
the New Lock Up Agreement by entering into the First Amendment to
the Lock Up and Plan Support Agreement. Under the First Amendment,
the parties extended the date until which they have to agree upon
the definitive forms of the key transaction documents required to
implement the prepackaged chapter 11 bankruptcy case's plan of
reorganization from January 22, 2010 to February 3, 2010.

The New Lock Up Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, will
automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect on
February 3, 2010, if on or before such date the parties thereto
have not agreed upon the definitive forms of such key transaction
documents.

              About FX Real Estate and Entertainment

New York-based FX Real Estate and Entertainment Inc.'s business
consists of owning and operating 17.72 contiguous acres of land
located at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon
Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The property is currently occupied
by a motel and several commercial and retail tenants with a mix of
short and long-term leases.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $143,904,000 in total
assets against total liabilities, all current, of $484,560,000.

The Company said it is in severe financial distress and may not be
able to continue as a going concern.  The Company said its current
cash flow from operations and cash on hand as of September 30,
2009, are not sufficient to fund its short-term liquidity
requirements, including its ordinary course expenses and
obligations as they come due.  The Company's Las Vegas
subsidiaries own real property which is substantially the
Company's entire business, and which subsidiaries are in default
under their $475 million mortgage loans, which are secured by the

GARY-WILLIAMS ENERGY: S&P Gives Neg. Outlook, Keeps 'B' Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on
independent refiner Gary-Williams Energy Corp. to negative from
stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'B' corporate credit
rating on the company.

The ratings on Denver-based Gary-Williams Energy reflect the
highly competitive and cyclical nature of the refining and
marketing industry, the industry's current weakened state, the
company's lack of asset diversity, and its limited throughput
volumes at its facilities.  The ratings benefit from the company's
Wynnewood refinery's good access to crude oil pipelines and its
relatively moderate debt leverage.

"The negative outlook reflects the difficulties facing the
refining industry and their impact on Gary-Williams Energy's
financial performance and credit metrics," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Patrick Lee.  S&P could stabilize the ratings if
demand for refined products strengthens, thereby potentially
improving margins and increasing cash flow generation.  In the
near term, if cash flow generation continues to deteriorate and
coverage measures are further stressed, or if liquidity falls
below $50 million, a downgrade is possible.


GENERAL MOTORS: Extends Tengzhong's Deadline to Close Hummer Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------------
According to Dow Jones Newswires' Patricia Jiayi Ho, a spokeswoman
for machinery manufacturer Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial
Machinery Co., said Monday the deadline for the Chinese company to
buy General Motors Co.'s truck brand Hummer has been pushed back
from the end of January to the end of February.

According to Dow Jones, Zhao Tong, a spokeswoman for a public
relations firm hired by Tengzhong, GM and Tengzhong agreed to
extend the deadline.

Dow Jones recalls GM completed an agreement in October to sell
Hummer to Tengzhong.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on October 13, 2009,
GM and Sichuan Tengzhong entered into a definitive agreement that
will allow Tengzhong to acquire GM's premium all-terrain HUMMER
brand.  Under the terms of the definitive agreement, the buyer
will acquire the ownership of the HUMMER brand, trademark and
tradenames, as well as specific IP license rights necessary for
the manufacture of HUMMER vehicles.  The buyer will also assume
the existing dealer agreements relating to HUMMER's dealership
network.

Tengzhong will purchase HUMMER through an investment entity, in
which it will hold an 80 percent stake.  Mr. Suolang Duoji, a
private entrepreneur with holdings that include the Hong Kong-
listed thenardite producer Lumena, will hold the remaining 20%
stake.  Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The deal is awaiting approval from the Chinese government, Ms.
Zhao said, according to Dow Jones.  She declined to elaborate, the
report adds.

                      About Sichuan Tengzhong

The investment entity buying Hummer will be jointly owned by
Tengzhong and private entrepreneur Suolang Duoji. Tengzhong will
hold 80 percent of the entity and Mr. Suolang 20 percent.

Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co., Ltd. is one of
China's major privately owned engineering companies. Tengzhong is
a manufacturer of heavy machinery equipment with a presence in
special-use vehicles, road and bridge construction equipment and

manufacturer of machinery and construction components through a
series of successful acquisitions. Tengzhong prides itself on its

GENERAL MOTORS: Bankr. Estate Lacks Funding for Toxic Site Cleanup
------------------------------------------------------------------
GM's loan from the U.S. and Canadian governments -- aggregating
$1.7 billion -- will cover cleanup costs on the contamination on
120 properties that General Motors Corp. transferred to Motors
Liquidation Co., during the bankruptcy process, but will not be
enough to address cleanup of other contaminated lands, Eartha Jane
Melzer of The Michigan Messenger reported on January 20, 2010.

State and federal environmental officials have specified (i) 50
landfills and other Superfund sites where GM dumped hazardous
waste but never owned the property, and (ii) former factory sites
that GM polluted before donating them to communities for
redevelopment as "toxic sites" that GM needs to do cleanups on,
according to the report.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and Wildlife
Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have
spent $190 million for the clean-up and will require another
$1.8 billion to complete it, according to the report.  Thirty-two
of the 50 dumping sites located in the Great Lakes states will
need another $305 million "to cover past and future cleanup
costs," the report added.

Federal environmental and wildlife agencies have appealed to the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to
access funds for cleanup work.

GENERAL MOTORS: New GM Plans New China Plant as Sales Rise
----------------------------------------------------------
In a thrust to contain its growing sales, General Motors Company
needs to build a new greenfield manufacturing facility in China in
the near future, Reuters reported on January 23, 2010.  But
according to a statement from GM China's president, the plant will
not be built this year, the same report said.

GM, in partnership with China's largest car maker, SAIC Motor
Corp., makes minivans and pickup trucks in China.  The joint
venture has sold a record 1.83 million vehicles in China in 2009,
the report said.  This sales growth is up 66.9% from 2008 and more
than 46% rise in the overall vehicle market.  GM's managing
director for China operations, Kevin Wale, said GM expects to sell
more than 2 million units in 2010, the Wall Street Journal
reported on January 23.

"We have enough capacity to build the cars we need to sell this
year and we need to continue to look for ways of increasing our
capacity. That will mean we will have to add a new plant some time
in the near future," Kevin Wale, told the Journal.

GI JOE'S: Failure to Pay BMC Bills Prompts Ch. 7 Conversion Motion
------------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, Acting United States Trustee for Region 3,
asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to
convert G.I. Joe's Holding Corp. and its affiliates' Chapter 11
bankruptcy cases to Chapter 7.

NetDockets says the U.S. Trustee's bid was partially in response
to allegations raised by BMC Group, the Debtors' claims and
noticing agent, that it has not been paid since the cases were
filed in March 2009.  BMC, as reported by the Troubled Company
Reporter on January 22, 2010, has asked the Court to compel the
Debtors to pay the firm for its services.

According to NetDockets, the U.S. Trustee said the BMC request
raises "serious concerns . . . about the Debtors continuing in
these Chapter 11 cases."  According to NetDockets, the U.S.
Trustee also said G.I. Joe's has not filed required monthly
operating reports since March 2009, which makes it "impossible to
determine whether the Debtors are current with their
postconfirmation obligations, paid the correct amount of 28 U.S.C.
Section 1930(a)(6) fees or whether there is a substantial or
continuing loss to or diminution of the estate and the absence of
a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation."  According to
NetDockets, the U.S. Trustee said there "appears to be a
substantial or continuing loss to or diminution of the estate and
the absence of a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation" which
necessitate the conversion of the cases "to protect the interests
of all creditors."

Headquartered Wilmington, Delaware, G.I. Joe's Holding Corporation
-- http://www.joessports.com-- owned and operated retail stores
selling sports apparel, and camping equipment and accessories.
G.I Joe has more than 30 locations in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington.  The G.I. Joe's Holding Corporation and G.I. Joe's
Inc. filed for Chapter 11 protection on March 4, 2009 (Bankr. D.
Del. Case Nos. 09-10713 and 09-10714).  The Debtors hired
Steven M. Yoder, Esq., at Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP, as their
Delaware counsel and Patrick J. O'Malley, at Development
Specialist Inc., as thier chief restructuring officer.  When
the Debtors filed for protection from their creditors, they
estimated their assets and debts between $100 million and
$500 million.  In April 2009, a joint venture between Gordon
Brothers Retail Partners, LLC, and Crystal Capital Fund
Management won the auction of G.I. Joe's Holding Corp.'s

GSI GROUP: Equity Panel Urges Shareholders to Reject Exit Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders of GSI Group,
Inc. (Pink Sheets: GSIGQ) on Monday said it unanimously recommends
that GSI's shareholders reject the First Modified Joint Chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization for MES International, Inc., GSI Group Inc.
and GSI Group Corporation.

Although the bankruptcy court approved GSI's disclosure statement
for the plan on January 8, 2010, the Equity Committee discovered
that GSI inadvertently failed to remove the legend on the cover of
the disclosure statement that says the disclosure statement has
not been approved by the bankruptcy court and should not be relied
on.  While GSI was able to include a correction notice in the vast
majority of the packages that will be delivered to equity holders,
some holders will receive disclosure statements without the
correction notice, which will be sent in a separate, later mailing
to those holders.  Notwithstanding the language on the cover of
the disclosure statement, shareholders should timely cast their
ballots.

The Equity Committee urges shareholders to cast their ballots to
reject the plan for these reasons:

    * The structure of GSI's reorganization plan was negotiated
      during the second quarter of 2009.  Since that time, the
      markets that GSI serves have improved dramatically.  The
      Equity Committee believes that the enterprise value of GSI
      significantly exceeds the enterprise value imputed by the
      current plan.

    * The proposed plan implies an enterprise value for GSI of
      approximately $167 million.  For current shareholders of
      GSI, the proposed plan provides for distributed equity value
      (excluding the warrants) of approximately $28 million,
      equivalent to a per share price of approximately $0.60.  If
      shareholders vote to approve the plan, they would be
      agreeing with this valuation and would be authorizing GSI to
      dilute their ownership percentage by approximately 80%.  As
      representatives of the shareholders of GSI, appointed by the
      bankruptcy court, the Equity Committee urges all
      shareholders to reject the proposed plan and allow the
      Equity Committee to negotiate, or seek to separately pursue,
      an alternative plan of reorganization indicative of GSI's
      true value.

"We believe that the current plan significantly undervalues GSI
and gives the noteholders a recovery on their claims substantially
greater than what they are entitled to receive under applicable
law," said Stephen W. Bershad, Chairman of the Equity Committee.
"We urge all shareholders to reject this plan as not being in the
best interests of shareholders.  The Equity Committee is working
to negotiate an alternative plan with the noteholders and GSI.  If
these negotiations fail, the Equity Committee is prepared to
challenge the proposed plan in bankruptcy court and may seek to
propose and solicit its own plan of reorganization."

The Equity Committee urges all shareholders to carefully read the
plan and the related disclosure statement that GSI has mailed to
shareholders.  Most importantly, the Equity Committee urges
shareholders to timely cast their votes to reject the plan.

Although GSI's materials state that the deadline for shareholders
to return their ballots is Monday, February 15, 2010 (a Federal
holiday), GSI has extended the deadline until Tuesday, February
16, 2010.  All ballots must be received no later than February 16,
2010.  To receive another disclosure statement or ballot, please
contact the Debtors' solicitation agent, The Garden City Group,
Inc., by telephone at 1-866-249-8112.

HCA INC: Use of Cash Flow Revolvers Won't Move Moody's 'B2' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service commented that HCA Inc.'s planned use of
its ABL and cash flow revolvers to fund the payment of a dividend
to shareholders has no immediate impact on the ratings of the
company, including the B2 Corporate Family and Probability of
Default Ratings.

Moody's last rating action was on July 29, 2009, when a Ba3 rating
was assigned to the issuance of first lien secured notes and the
remaining ratings were affirmed.

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, HCA is the nation's largest
acute care hospital company with 155 hospitals and 97 freestanding
surgery centers owned and operated by its subsidiaries and another
eight hospitals and eight freestanding surgery centers that are
accounted for using the equity method as of September 30, 2009.
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, the company
recognized revenue in excess of $29 billion.


HEALTHEAST CARE: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' Rating on $272 Mil. Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Ba1 long-term bond
rating assigned to HealthEast Care System's (MN) $272 million of
outstanding bonds issued by the St. Paul Housing & Redevelopment
Authority.  The outlook is stable.

Legal Security: The bonds are secured by a gross revenue pledge
from the Obligated Group, which includes HealthEast's three acute
care hospitals, the long term acute hospital and the parent,
representing the vast majority of total system cash flow.  Fully
funded debt service reserve funds with mortgages included on all
of the obligated group properties.

Interest Rate Derivatives: none.

                            Strengths

* Multi-year history of profitable but below average margins and
  noted softening of performance levels since peak performance in
  FY2005 due to expenditures for quality initiatives and
  flattening volume trends.

* Construction of new five-story, all private room patient tower
  at St. Joseph's Hospital completed, providing a competitive
  market advantage as the first all private room hospital system
  in the Twin Cities and expectations for improved volume at this
  facility.  Emergency department expansion and renovation has
  begun and will complete the total renovation of this facility.
  Costs were funded with bond proceeds (Series 2005).

* Debt is all fixed rate with no derivatives.

* Investment in quality initiatives is expected to improve
  performance over time, gain market share through consumer driven
  plans and aid in recruitment of specialists.

* Favorable payer mix, with Medicaid contributing to only 5% of
  gross revenues.

* No additional debt or capital projects of any significance are
  planned.

                            Challenges

* Third straight year of decline in liquidity to $97.4 million (44
  days) as of FYE 2009 from peak levels at FYE 2007 of $132.5
  million (73 days).  Cash is expected to be maintained at this
  lower level over the immediate term, effectively eliminating the
  balance sheet gains achieved with the sale/leaseback transaction
  during 3Q05 which boosted cash by $37.6 million.  Market
  conditions and capital spending have contributed to a reduction
  in cash reserves that is inadequate for a system of this size at
  the investment grade level.

* Leveraged balance sheet evidenced by low cash-to-debt ratio
  (34.9%), high debt to cash flow (8.6 times), weak MADS (1.87
  times) coverage, and high debt-to-capitalization ratio (70.4%)
  for FY 2009.  When converting non-cancellable operating leases
  to a debt-like equivalent, leverage is increased by an
  additional $95 million, cash-to-debt declines to 26%, MADS is
  reduced to 1.43 times, and debt-to-capitalization increases to
  76.2%.

* Volume decline during FY 2009 was material at 5.6% due to a
  softening local economy, a loss of some market share to
  HealthPartners, and operational disruption due to the St.
  Joseph's expansion.  Volumes improved through the first quarter
  of FY 2010, growing by 3.3% over the prior year same period.

* Operating profits suppressed again in FY 2009 by increased
  expenses associated with quality initiatives ($21 million spent
  from FY 2007 through FY 2009) that may provide for potential
  benefits over the longer term.  HealthEast has been cited for
  its quality standards prior to this recent investment in quality
  initiatives and Moody's is uncertain if the benefits of this
  increased spending, which offset profitability and impact cash
  flow, will deliver a measurable payback at this time.  Moody's
  note favorably, however, that spending on computerized physician
  order entry and other IT projects may result in federal stimulus
  reimbursement.

* Competitive pressures derive from a consolidated healthcare
  provider market and intensified physician alignment strategies.

                   Recent Developments/Results

HealthEast is a sizable health care system with over
$827.3 million in revenues and a combined total of 34,550
admissions.  HealthEast operates 527 staffed beds at three acute
care hospitals in downtown St. Paul (St. Joseph's), Maplewood (St.
John's) and Woodbury (Woodwinds), as well as a 175-bed long term
acute care hospital, an outpatient diagnostic imaging site and two
outpatient surgery sites.  Following the expansion of the St.
Joseph's Hospital and the subsequent conversion of semi-private
rooms to private rooms, HealthEast is the only provider in the
Twin Cities market with 100% private rooms.  HealthEast has
repositioned itself to gain a competitive advantage over other
area providers by developing strategies that deliver clinical care
in excess of national benchmark standards, improve processes to
add capacity and improve employee satisfaction and build consumer
loyalty.

HealthEast is the market leader with 38% market share in the east
metro service area (the Twin Cities is divided by the Mississippi
River).  Competition comes from United Hospital (part of A1-rated
Allina) and Regions Hospital (part of Baa1-rated HealthPartners).
Admissions to St. John's have declined in recent years (by a
significant 10% in FY 2009), as HealthPartners' staff model
providers are directing their admissions to Regions.

The Twin Cities market is highly consolidated on all three fronts
of healthcare delivery -- hospitals, payers and physicians.  The
consolidation eliminates much of the uncertainty of future
alignments going forward that many other markets are experiencing.
There are three commercial payers in this market, all not-for-
profits, with each system contracting with each of the payers.
The "oligopoly" formed by these three payers also provides limited
upside potential for material rate increases, so HealthEast's
ability to improve its current level of performance will largely
be expense driven.

Although HealthEast has been consistently profitable over the past
decade, operating profits were again suppressed in FY 2009,
largely due to expenses associated with the system's focus on
quality initiatives as well as declining volume trends at all
three of the hospitals.  Expense growth (5.35%) exceeded growth in
revenues (5.15%) in FY 2009, as it has consistently done for the
past several years.  Income from operations of $5.3 million (0.6%
margin) did not meet budgeted projections in FY 2009 and is a
decline of 22% from the $6.7 million (0.9% margin) of operating
income reported in FY 2008.  Moody's note favorably that through
the first quarter of FY 2010, operating income was $4.2 million, a
significant improvement when compared to operating income of only
$1.2 million that was reported during the prior year same period.
Operating cash flow improved in FY 2009 to $38.2 million (4.6%
margin) when compared to $37.8 million (4.8% margin) in FY 2008,
and MADS coverage improved to 1.87 times from 1.68 times.  Still,
a 4.6% operating cash flow margin and operating margins that are
below 1.0% are below average for this $827.3 million revenue
organization.

The balance sheet has historically been the key weakness for the
system and the credit factor that caused the system's rating to
fall below investment grade last year.  Unrestricted cash and
investments fell to $97.4 million (44 days cash on hand) at FYE
2009, a decline from peak levels of $132.5 million (73 days cash
on hand) at FYE 2006, as well as a drop from FY 2008 levels
($112.8 million; 54 days cash on hand).  In the immediate term,
management has projected liquidity levels to remain at this lower
level.  HealthEast invested in auction rate securities, and losses
on these investments had a $20 million impact on cash levels in FY
2009 due to the write-downs of these securities.  The system's
overall investment portfolio consists of 5% cash, 28% fixed
income, 64% equities, and 3% auction rate securities.  HealthEast
froze its defined benefit plan in 2000 and management expects to
make less than $1 million in contributions to the plan in FY 2010,
so cash levels will likely not be impacted due to any large
pension funding requirement.

HealthEast is also weakened by a leveraged balance sheet evidenced
by low cash-to-debt ratio (34.9%), high debt to cash flow (8.6
times), weak MADS (1.87 times) coverage, and high debt-to-
capitalization ratio (70.4%) for FY 2009.  When converting a
significant amount of non-cancellable operating leases to a debt-
like equivalent, leverage is increased by an additional
$95.5 million (on a net present value basis), and cash-to-debt
declines further to 26%, MADS is reduced to 1.43 times, and debt-
to-capitalization increases to 76.2

                             Outlook

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that the system's
financial performance and balance sheet measures will be
maintained at current levels.  Capital plans remain relatively
unchanged and investments in quality initiatives that are expected
to lead to an improved competitive position over the longer term
will limit balance sheet improvement until the intermediate term.

                What could change the rating -- UP

Improved operating profits and debt coverage measures, return to
much higher cash balances and liquidity metrics from current
levels

               What could change the rating -- DOWN

Further decline in cash balances, deterioration in operating
performance, shift in volume and change in competitive position

outlook was revised to Stable from Negative.


HERBST GAMING: HSBC Bank Appeals Confirmation Order to 9th Cir.
---------------------------------------------------------------
HSBC Bank USA, National Association, is taking an appeal pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. Section 158 to the United States Bankruptcy Appellate
Panel of the Ninth Circuit from the order confirming Herbst
Gaming, Inc., and its affiliates' First Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Nevada on January 14, 2010, as amended January 22,
2010.

HSBC Bank USA is the successor trustee for the holders of the
Company's $160,000,000 principal amount of 8.125% Senior
Subordinated Notes Due 2012 and $170,000,000 principal amount of
7% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2014 under indentures dated as of
June 11, 2004, and November 22, 2004.

Las Vegas Sun's Steve Green reports the bondholders stand to lose
$362 million in the Herbst Gaming bankruptcy case.

Las Vegas Sun recalls Judge Gregg Zive orally confirmed the
Debtors' plan on October 30.

Las Vegas Sun also notes that under the plan, equity interests in
Las Vegas-based Herbst would be canceled and the Las Vegas company
would be turned over to secured bank lenders owed another
$860 million.  The new company would also assume $350 million in
debt.

According to Las Vegas Sun, attorneys for HSBC responded with an
amended lawsuit in November charging that Herbst engaged in
dubious acquisitions in 2007 and that, consequentially, secured
lenders should share in the resulting losses.  Based on Herbst's
current value, the bondholders demanded in November's lawsuit that
they recover $153.7 million and that the secured lenders' recovery
be reduced by $549 million, Las Vegas Sun relates.

Las Vegas Sun also relates the bondholders' arguments have
previously been disputed by Herbst and the secured lenders, led by
Wilmington Trust Co.  Herbst said it was driven into bankruptcy by
the recession, not its debt-financed takeover deals.

Las Vegas Sun says attorneys for HSBC argue in the amended lawsuit
that because of a smoking ban and other factors affecting the
Herbst casino and slot route businesses, the company was either
insolvent or was rendered insolvent by the acquisitions announced
in 2007 of the Sands Regent casino operations in Northern Nevada
and of Primm Valley Resorts at the California-Nevada border on
Interstate 15.

"Despite the debtors' insolvency or marginal solvency and decline
in its slot route business, the debtors entered into two
transactions in 2007 which increased their debt load by
approximately $549 million and left the debtors deeply insolvent,"
HSBC charges in the lawsuit, according to Las Vegas Sun.

Las Vegas Sun notes some $149 million under Herbst's bank credit
facility was used to finance the Sands Regent transaction and
another $400 million was used for the Primm deal.

Las Vegas Sun says the bondholders charge that Herbst overpaid in
both deals, that both deals immediately resulted in losses and
deepened Herbst's insolvency, making them "fraudulent transfers"
under the bankruptcy code -- meaning the debt associated with the
deals can be canceled.

The Troubled Company Reporter yesterday said the Final Plan
provides for the following restructuring of the Debtors, to be
consummated on the Substantial Confirmation Date:

  -- Conversion of all allowed claims under the Company's
     $860.0 million senior credit facility into debt and equity of
     the Debtors, through ownership of a new holding company.

  -- Termination of all outstanding obligations under the
     Company's 8-1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012 and the
     Company's 7% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

  -- Cancellation of 100% of the existing equity in the Company.

The Final Plan will become effective on February 5, 2010, provided
the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Final Plan are
satisfied or waived.

INFLIGHT NEWSPAPERS: $6 Mil. Avoidance Action Going to Trial
------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that material issues of fact existed as to whether
$6 million allegedly diverted by a Chapter 7 debtor's purported
former vice-president belonged to the debtor, rather than some
third party, even if an adverse inference was drawn against the
purported former vice-president due to his assertion of the Fifth
Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.  These issues
precluded summary judgment for either the trustee or the purported
former vice-president on the trustee's claims for conversion,
money had and received, breach of fiduciary duty, avoidance of
fraudulent transfers, unjust enrichment, and self-dealing.  In re
Inflight Newspapers, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 104594 (Bankr.
E.D.N.Y.) (Grossman, J.).

On May 21, 2007, an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition
(Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No. 07-71796) was filed against Inflight
Newspapers, Inc., by four creditors.  An order for relief was
entered on August 10, 2007, and R. Kenneth Barnard, Esq. was
appointed and duly qualified as Chapter 7 Trustee of the Debtor's
estate.  Holly R. Holecek, Esq., and Joseph S. Maniscalco, Esq.,
at LaMonica Herbst & Maniscalco LLP, in Wantagh, N.Y., represent
the Chapter 7 Trustee.  The Trustee has sued (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Adv.
Pro. No. 08-08166) the Debtor's principals to recover $6 million
he alleges was diverted from the Debtor's estate between 1999 and
2004 in a fictious invoicing scheme in violation of the
Defendant's fiduciary duties.  The Defendants filed an answer to
the Trustee's Complaint on Nov. 17, 2008, denying all allegations
and asserting various affirmative defenses.  Many of the facts in
the Trustee's Complaint are also the basis for the government's
prosecution in United States v. Joffe, Case No. 08-CR-206
(E.D.N.Y.).

JEFFERSON COUNTY: Has, So Far, Incurred $7.7-Mil. in Legal Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------
Barnett Wright at The Birmingham News reports that Jefferson
County's sewer debt crisis has cost ratepayers $7.7 million in
legal expenses since it began unfolding in 2008, according to

The report says legal expenses related to the sewer system
include:

     -- $4.6 million to Bradley Arant Boult Cummings
     -- $1.2 million to Balch & Bingham
     -- $1.1 million to Haskell Slaughter Young & Rediker.

The report says the firms have been looking for ways to help the
county restructure its $3.2 billion sewer debt, which the county
cannot repay.

The report also notes an additional legal expense has been the tab
for two court-appointed special masters.

In November 2008, U.S. District Judge David Proctor selected John
Ames at Greenebaum Doll & McDonald law firm in Louisville, Ky.,
and John Young at American Water Services Co. in Voorhees, N.J.,
to hear the dispute between the county and its New York-based bond
insurers over the sewer debt.  Those masters were asked to
investigate, make recommendations and mediate any dispute
regarding the operation of the county sewer system, including "the
enhancement of revenues, rates, potential reductions in expenses."

According to the report, the total for that work has reached
nearly $1.5 million and that includes bills from Ames's firm even
after a final report was submitted in July to a federal judge.  In
that report, the special masters expressed disappointment at
failing to reach a global resolution, without litigation, of
issues arising from the sewer bonds.

The report relates Ames and Young have filed bills totaling
$1,460,274 since being selected, according to county records.  The
billings were for travel, court appearances, reading newspapers
and e-mails and preparing for telephone conferences, legal issues
and coordinating schedules.

The report says the legal expenses are paid from the Environmental
Services Department's operating budget, which is funded by sewer
fees paid by customers.

The report notes Commissioner Bobby Humphryes said the legal fees
could have been avoided if the county had filed for bankruptcy in
early 2008, when its sewer bond debt was downgraded to junk status
and principal and interest payments were accelerated.

Mr. Humphryes, the report notes, has supported the county filing
under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, saying it was the
only way to deal with the massive debt.

"We've spent $7 million and still haven't made any progress on the
problem," the report quotes Mr. Humphryes as saying.  "Chapter 9
may have cost as much or more, but we would have been solving the
problem."

The report adds Commission President Bettye Fine Collins, who is
against bankruptcy, has said the county's legal expenses for the
sewer crisis would pale in comparison with the cost of filing for
bankruptcy.  She has said the projected legal expenses of a
bankruptcy are $1 million per month and those who have objected to
every proposed solution are causing the expenses to rise.

According to the report, Judge Proctor has ordered costs related
to the special masters' work to be split evenly, with the county
paying $730,137 and its two insurers, Financial Guaranty Insurance
Co. and Syncora Guarantee Inc., paying the other half.


JEVIC TRANSPORTATION: Can Access Sun Capital Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
Jevic Holding Corp., et al., received from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware authorization to use cash
collateral Sun Capital Partners IV, L.P.

The Debtors are authorized to use the cash collateral of the
secured party consistent with the budget that excludes
professional fees and expenses.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of the secured
party's collateral, the Debtors will grant the secured party
adequate protection liens and superpriority administrative expense
claims, subject to the carve out.

Based in Delanco, New Jersey, Jevic Transportation Inc. --
http://www.jevic.com/-- provides trucking services.  The company
has two units: Jevic Holding Corp. and Creek Road Properties.
Neither of the units have assets nor operations.  The company and
its affiliates filed for chapter 11 protection on May 20, 2008
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 08-11008).  Domenic E. Pacitti, Esq., and
Michael W. Yurkewicz, Esq., at Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg &
Ellers, in Wilmington, Delaware, represent Jevic Transportation.
The U.S. Trustee for Region 3 has appointed five creditors to
serve on an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Robert J.
Feinstein, Esq., Bruce Grohsgal, Esq., and Maria A. Bove, Esq., at
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware,
represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

Before filing for bankruptcy, the Debtors initiated an orderly
wind-down process.  As a part of the wind-down process, the
Debtors have ceased substantially all of their business and
terminated approximately 90% of their employees.  The Debtors
continue to manage the wind-down process in attempt to deliver all
of the freight that is in their system and to retrieve their
assets.

When the Debtors filed for protection against their creditors,
they listed assets and debts between $50 million and $100 million.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 3, 2009,
The company reported a net loss of $296,469 on $0 revenues for the
month of September 2008.  At Sept. 30, 2008, the company had total
assets of $28,934,350, total liabilities of $36,188,467, and
stockholders' deficit of $7,254,117.


LATSHAW DRILLING: Can Access $16.2MM of Lenders Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Dana L. Rasure of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Oklahoma authorized Latshaw Drilling Company,
LLC, and Latshaw Drilling & Exploration Company, Inc., to use
their prepetition lenders' cash collateral not to exceed the total
amount of $16,206,756 until April 30, 2010.

The Debtors' prepetition lenders consist of Lehman Commercial
Paper Inc., Ableco Finance LLC and A3 Funding L.P.

The Debtors related that the use period and the termination date
may be extended by written agreement among the Debtors and the
lenders.  A hearing will be held on April 21, at 1:30 p.m. to
determine LDC's cash collateral use beyond April 30.

LDC's use of the cash collateral will be limited to the actual and
necessary expenditures required to pay the ordinary operating
expenses.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of the lenders'
collateral, the Debtors will grant the prepetition lenders:

   -- replacement liens, subject to the payment of the U.S.
      Trustee fees and a carve-out;

   -- superpriority administrative claims; and

   -- monthly payments to LCPI and to Ableco of an amount equal to
      interest at the non-default contract rate of interest
      provided under the credit agreement.

As additional adequate protection to the lenders, the Debtors will
continue to maintain insurance coverage with insurance policies
reflecting the lenders as loss payees.

The Debtors also related that the value of the tangible personal
property subject to the security interests of the lenders is
substantially in excess of the prepetition indebtedness.
Specifically, the Debtors contend that as of the petition date the
current auction sale liquidation value of its drilling rigs and
spare parts is in excess of $100,000,000, and that the value of
their accounts receivable is at least $5,580,000, that the lenders
are oversecured.  The Debtors assert that the total value of their
assets on a going concern basis is $193,000,000.  Lenders disagree
with the Debtors' valuation and reserve all of their rights with
respect to these issues.

Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Latshaw Drilling Company LLC filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 11, 2009 (Bankr. N.D.
Okla. Case No. 09-13572).  Mark A. Craige, Esq., at
MorrelSaffaCraige, PC, assists the Company in its restructuring
effort.  The Company listed $193,549,066 in assets and
$77,940,788 in liabilities in its petition.


LEAP WIRELESS: Taps Goldman, Forms Special Panel to Explore Sale
----------------------------------------------------------------
Leap Wireless International Inc. has hired Goldman Sachs Group and
formed a special board committee to look into selling the company
or merging with rivals, The Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey
McCracken and Niraj Sheth report, citing several people familiar
with the matter.

One source told the Journal Leap has hired Goldman Sachs Group to
advise the company as it "reassesses its alternatives and checks
its options out there right now."

The Journal's sources also said Leap's board formed a three-person
committee -- made up by newly appointed board members John H.
Chapple, Ronald J. Kramer and William A. Roper -- to assess
strategic options.  The committee, the sources said, is being
advised by Morgan Stanley.  Mr. Chapple is a former CEO of Nextel
Partners, which Sprint acquired in 2006.

The Journal's sources said Leap's advisers have in recent weeks
been feeling out larger wireless carriers such as AT&T Inc. and
Verizon Wireless to see if they would be interested in acquiring
the Company.  The sources said some bankers consider Leap's rival
MetroPCS Communications Inc. as the most likely partner for the
Company.  So far, those talks haven't lead to any deal, the
sources said.

The sources told the Journal the conversations indicate Leap is
feeling squeezed as major carriers like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint
Nextel Corp. encroach on its prepaid turf and slash their contract
rates.

The Journal recalls that Leap in late 2007 rejected an unsolicited
all-stock offer from MetroPCS initially valued at $5.5 billion,
about five times Leap's current market value.

One of the Journal's sources said it wasn't clear if Leap and
MetroPCS are currently in talks, but that combination is "the one
that makes the most sense for Leap, and both sides know it."  That
person, according to the Journal, added it appeared Leap was
trying to round up a bidder to prod MetroPCS to pay a higher price
for any potential bid.

The Journal notes MetroPCS and Leap have similarities in their
strategies, customer bases and mobile technologies.  According to
the Journal, a Leap spokesman didn't reply to requests for
comment. A MetroPCS spokesman declined to comment.

Leap shares closed Monday at $14.92, well below the $41 its shares
hit in May.

http://www.leisuretimewarehouse.net-- a furniture retailer
located in Hampton, N.H., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
N.H. Case No. 08-11636) on June 10, 2008.  At the time of the
filing, the Debtor estimated its assets at more than $1 million
and its debts at less than $1 million.  The Chapter 11
reorganization was converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation on or
about Oct. 28, 2009.  Michael S. Askenaizer serves as the Chapter
7 Trustee and is represented by Edmond J. Ford., Esq., at Ford &

LENNY DYKSTRA: S. California Mansion Is On Sale For $14.9 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters says Lenny Dykstra's southern California mansion is up for
sale for $14.9 million.  There are $14.28 million of liens against
the property including $12.9 million owed to Washington Mutual,
now owned by JP Morgan Chase & Co.

Lenny Dykstra is a former Major League Baseball all-star player.
He was center fielder for the New York Mets and Philadelphia
Phillies.  He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July
7, 2009 (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 09-18409).  M Jonathan Hayes,
Esq., at the Law Office of M Jonathan Hayes, in Northridge,
California, assists the Debtor in his restructuring effort.  The
Debtor listed up to $50,000 in assets and $10,000,001 to
$50,000,000 in debts.

The Journal recalls Mr. Dykstra and his then-wife bought the
mansion, located in the Lake Sherwood area of Thousand Oaks
Calif., from hockey great Wayne Gretzky for $18.5 million in 2007.
A short while later, Mr. Dykstra reportedly put the house on the
block for nearly $25 million but didn't find a buyer.  According
to the Journal, Mr. Dykstra's creditors say the property is now
worth just $11.5 million, far less than he paid for it.

The Journal relates that after retiring from baseball, Mr. Dykstra
became a celebrity investor, dispensing options-trading advice on
Jim Cramer's TheStreet.com.  But his luck ran out when the markets
tanked, and Mr. Dykstra was forced to file for bankruptcy in July
2009.  He lost control of his case in September after a judge
ruled that he could no longer administer his own finances.

Arturo M. Cisneros, according to the Journal, was appointed to
steer the proceedings back on course and generate cash for
creditors by selling off Mr. Dykstra's personal belongings and
real estate piece by piece.  The Trustee hopes to sell the
property in the coming months, the Journal says.

MEDIA GENERAL: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to Richmond, Virginia-headquartered Media
General Inc. The rating outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P assigned ratings to Media General's proposed
$350 million senior secured notes due 2017.  S&P rated the notes
'B' (at the same level as the 'B' corporate credit rating on the
company) with a recovery rating of '4', indicating S&P's
expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default.

The company plans to use proceeds from the transaction to pay down
its (unrated) credit facilities.  Pro forma for the proposed
transaction, total debt outstanding is approximately $719 million.

"The 'B' rating reflects Media General's narrow cushion of
covenant compliance, high debt leverage, and weakened cash flow
protection resulting from the proposed transaction," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith.  It also reflects
structural pressure on the U.S. newspaper industry, TV
broadcasting's mature long-term growth prospects, and increased
competition for audience and advertisers from traditional and
nontraditional media.  Media General's strong market positions and
diversified mix of newspaper and television operations do not
offset these risks.


MEDICAL CAPITAL: Securities America Misled Investors, Suit Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The securities law firm of Sonn & Erez PLC alerts Medical Capital
investors that William Galvin, the Secretary of State of
Massachusetts, has charged in a civil case that Securities
America, Inc., committed securities fraud in the sale of Medical
Capital notes, alleging that material risks were not disclosed to
investors.  In the Matter of Securities America, Docket 2009-0085
(http://www.sec.state.ma.us/sct/sctsa/sa_complaint.pdf).

Sonn & Erez, PLC, a law firm representing investors who bought
Medical Capital Notes, commented that this new case supports
investors' claims that they were misled about the risks of buying
Medical Capital Notes: "It is clear from the Massachusetts
allegations that there is evidence that Securities America is
subject to liability for the sale of Medical Capital Notes to its
customers," said Jeffrey Sonn, Esq., of Sonn & Erez.  The
Massachusetts lawsuit alleged that "All material risks and
information regarding MC Notes were not disclosed to investors.
These risks were known to [Securities America].  Year after year,
the due diligence analyst, retained by [Securities America] to
conduct a review of the various Medical Capital offerings,
specifically requested and at many times pleaded that investors be
informed of certain heightened risks."  Sonn & Erez is
representing victims of the Medical Capital fraud.

Medical Capital related entities and their officers have been
charged with securities fraud and operating a Ponzi-Scheme in the
sale of over $2 billion of Medical Capital notes.  (SEC Litigation
Release Act 21141).  The SEC's complaint alleges that, since 2003,
MCHI, MCC, Fields, and Lampariello have raised over $2.2 billion
through offerings of notes in MP VI and five other similarly
structured SPCs.  As of March 31, 2009, MP VI and its affiliated
SPCs had over $1.2 billion in notes outstanding, and since August
2008, five of the SPCs have been in default or late in paying
principal and/or interest on $992.5 million in notes.  Monies
raised from the notes were sold as being invested in medical
receivables, but was allegedly used to fund a ponzi scheme.

Investors in Medical Capital Notes have hired Sonn & Erez to
represent them against brokerage firms, such as Securities
America, for their claims.  Sonn & Erez represents individual and
institutional clients in securities arbitration and litigation
claims in cases all over the U.S.  Sonn & Erez works with
attorneys in Florida, Georgia and California to represent victims
of the scheme.

MERCER INTERNATIONAL: S&P Gives Pos. Outlook; Keeps 'CCC+' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Mercer
International Inc. to positive from negative.  In addition, S&P
affirmed its ratings on the company, including the 'CCC+'
corporate credit rating.

"The outlook revision reflects S&P's view that Mercer's liquidity
has improved as a result of the completion of its recent exchange
offer for about ?15 million of its remaining $17 million
convertible subordinated notes due October 2010 for a like amount
of new notes due January 2012," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Andy Sookram.  Given somewhat challenging credit market
conditions in its view, S&P previously expected the company to use
its existing liquidity sources, including cash on hand and
generated cash flow, to fund the upcoming maturity of the
remaining notes.  S&P thinks that the recent debt exchange will
provide the company with greater financial flexibility through
extended debt maturities and increased liquidity in the near term.

Although Mercer's liquidity has improved, S&P is concerned about
the sustainability of the recently improved pulp market
conditions.  Several pulp producers have announced plans to
restart production at certain facilities in the near future.  If
this leads to a supply/demand imbalance, S&P believes there could
be some reversal of the price increases S&P has seen in the last
several months.  Still, S&P currently does not expect selling
prices to decline to the levels S&P saw in the first half of 2009,
when prices averaged around $660 per ton compared with $840 per
ton in 2008, because S&P thinks it is likely that demand for paper
and packaging products will be modestly higher in 2010.  In
addition, S&P believes that the weak U.S. dollar against the euro
and the Canadian dollar will continue to partly offset some of the
benefits of price increases in the near term.

The 'CCC+' corporate credit rating reflects Mercer's limited
product diversity, significant earnings volatility for its single
product, and its vulnerability to changes in foreign exchange
rates and wood fiber costs.  Mercer, through its Rosenthal and
Celgar facilities, produces northern bleached softwood kraft pulp.
These two subsidiaries are restricted by the terms of the
company's senior unsecured note indenture.  As a result, Standard
& Poor's bases its assessment of the company's credit risk on the
business and financial profile of the restricted group only.

The positive outlook reflects the company's improved financial
flexibility following the completion of the recent debt exchange
transaction of a significant portion its remaining convertible
subordinated notes due October 2010 for new convertible notes due
January 2012.  As a result, S&P expects liquidity to be around ?55
for 2010, up from S&P's previous estimated level of about
?35 million.  The remaining debt maturities in 2010 of about
?2 million should be manageable.  S&P could raise the ratings if
the increase in pulp prices is sustained leading to cash flow and
liquidity in line with its expectations.

Conversely, S&P could take a negative rating action if free cash
flow turns negative due to a significant deterioration in selling
prices or a decline in demand, if input costs increase without a
corresponding increase in selling prices, or if the U.S. dollar
weakens further relative to the euro or Canadian dollar.  If any
or a combination of these factors occur, then S&P thinks cash will
be consumed to cover fixed charges.


MERISANT WORLDWIDE: Unit Settles Heartland Dispute; Terms Sealed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Merisant Worldwide Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware to approve a settlement agreement between
debtor Merisant U.S., Inc., and Heartland Sweeteners, LLC.

Pre-bankruptcy, Merisant US and Heartland are parties to a toll
manufacturing agreement and a distribution agreement and an opton
agreement.  Heartland filed proofs of claim against the Debtors
regarding the Agreements.

In July 2009, Merisant US filed a first amended complaint against
Heartland, seeking declaratory judgment that the Merisant US
properly rescinded the distribution agreement and that it was not
in violation of the toll manufacturing agreement.  Heartland
denied those allegations.

The parties have decided it was best to avoid the expense and
inconvenience inherent in litigation or other alternative
resolution procedures by settling all claims.

The settlement provides for mutual releases among the parties.
The parties have kept the terms of the settlement agreement a
secret.

According to Law360, Heartland was Merisant's rival and one-time
acquisition target.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on January 12, 2010,
Merisant Company announced January 11 that it has successfully
completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11
Bankruptcy.

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
approved Merisant's plan of reorganization on December 16.  The
Plan reduces the aggregate principal amount of Merisant's
indebtedness from $567 million to approximately $147 million,
lowering the Company's annual cash interest expense from
approximately $36 million to $11 million.

Private investment funds managed by Wayzata Investment Partners
LLC are now the majority stockholder of Merisant Company, which is
now the parent company of the Merisant group of companies.
Wayzata has designated five of the seven members of the new board
of directors and named Eugene "Gene" Davis chairman of the board.
Paul Block served as chairman from 2005-2010 and will remain
president and chief executive officer, roles he has held since
2004.  Mr. Block will continue to serve as a director of the
Company.

MIRAMAX FILMS: Walt Disney Seeking Buyers for Ailing Unit
---------------------------------------------------------
The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported that The
Walt Disney Company has been seeking buyers for its Miramax film
unit.

Brooks Barnes of The New York Times, citing a mergers and
acquisitions expert with knowledge of the process, reported that
Disney has attracted seven to 10 interested bidders.  According to
New York Times' source, the initial discussions indicate a price
of more than $700 million for the Miramax name and its 700-film
library.  The Times said the source declined to be identified
because of the confidential nature of the negotiations.

The Wall Street Journal's Ethan Smith said Disney has been
gradually dismantling Miramax's filmmaking capacity for some time,
laying off staff and executives.  Last week Disney closed
Miramax's offices and dismissed the majority of its remaining
personnel.

New York Times said interest is sharply higher than a year ago,
when Disney briefly floated a Miramax sale before reconsidering
because of the recession, and has been helped by a loosening of
the credit markets.

WSJ's source said the talks in recent weeks have accelerated due
to the progress in negotiations over the potential sale of another
troubled film studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.  Those talks shed
light on the potential value of Miramax's own film library, the
source told the Journal.

The Journal's source said several potential buyers have looked at
Miramax, including private-equity groups, but any talks remain
early and fluid.

NY Times' source said that among the interested parties are
several private equity groups and at least one other independent
studio.   That source told NY Times Disney expects to move forward
with the more serious bidding inquiries in the coming days, and
added that a sale could come within a few months.

NY Times said one potential buyer is Summit Entertainment, the
privately owned studio that is awash in cash because of its two
"Twilight" blockbusters.  NY Times said Summit does not have a
large library and, despite its success, could use the steady if
diminishing DVD and television-resale income that comes from one.

According to NY Times, analysts estimate that the Miramax library
generates more than $300 million in annual DVD and television
revenue, but they warn that Disney has never broken out a number.

NY Times said a Summit spokesman declined to comment.  NY Times
also noted Deadline.com, the Hollywood blog, reported last week
that Summit was looking at Miramax.

NY Times also said Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein, who founded
Miramax in 1979, are not among the bidders -- so far.

Miramax Films -- http://www.miramax.com/-- is the art-
house/independent film division of The Walt Disney Company, and
acts as both producer and distributor for its own films or foreign
films.  Disney acquired Miramax in 1993 from the Weinstein
brothers, who continued to oversee the outfit until 2005, when
they left to found the Weinstein Company.


MMFX INTERNATIONAL: Section 341(a) Meeting Set for February 18
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 16 will convene a meeting of creditors
in MMFX International Holdings, Inc.'s Chapter 11 case on
February 18, 2010, at 3:00 p.m.  The meeting will be held at 411 W
Fourth St., Room 1-159, Santa Ana, California.

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

All creditors are invited, but not required, to attend.  This
Meeting of Creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy
proceeding for creditors to question a responsible office of the
Debtor under oath about the company's financial affairs and
operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

Irvine, California-based MMFX International Holdings, Inc., and
MMFX Canadian Holdings, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 on January 5,
2010 (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case Nos. 10-10085 and 10-10083.)
Margaret M. Mann, Esq. at Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP
assists the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  In their
petition, the Debtors listed assets and debts both ranging from
$50,000,001 to $100,000,000.


MONROE COUNTY: S&P Raises Rating on 2006 Revenue Bonds to 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating to 'BB+' from
'BB' on Monroe County Hospital Finance Authority, Michigan's
series 2006 revenue bonds, issued for Mercy Memorial Hospital
System Corp. Obligated Group, and revised the outlook to positive
from negative.  Mercy consists of Mercy Memorial Hospital Corp.
and Monroe Community Health Services.

"The rating and outlook revision reflect S&P's view of Mercy's
improved pro forma balance sheet, much-reduced operating loss,
good volume growth, and dominant and slightly increasing business
position," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Suzie Desai.

Mercy Memorial Hospital Corp. is the sole member of its
subsidiaries, which are MCHS, owner and operator of a skilled
nursing facility and ambulatory surgery center, and Monroe Health
Ventures Inc, operator of a retail pharmacy.  Mercy terminated the
operations of an undeveloped senior retirement village and
transferred the assets to Mercy Memorial Hospital Corp. Mercy
operates a 238-licensed-bed facility (179 staffed) in Monroe,
Mich., about 40 miles south of Detroit.


MOUNTAINEER GAS: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Rating at 'BB-'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Mountaineer Gas Co.'s Issuer Default
Rating at 'BB-' and its unsecured debt rating at 'BB'.  The Rating
Outlook remains Stable.  Approximately $90 million of long-term
debt is affected by the ratings action.

The ratings take into consideration regulated cash flows from
local gas distribution operations in West Virginia, a
predominantly residential customer base with limited exposure to
industrials, and a West Virginia Public Service Commission
approved gas procurement plan.  Although West Virginia utility
regulation is restrictive from an investor point of view, the
ratings reflect MGC's balanced regulatory treatment as evidenced
by the recent joint-stipulation agreement with the WVSPC Staff and
Consumer Advocate Department.  Other factors that support the
ratings include MGC's manageable capital spending requirements and
additions to senior management that Fitch considers well
qualified.

While total liquidity is expected to be sufficient to meet working
capital needs in the current winter heating season, MGC must
extend or replace its maturing external liquidity arrangements
this year.  Gas inventory is financed through an Asset Management
Agreement with Sequent (subsidiary of AGL Resources, IDR 'A-' by
Fitch).  As a result of the AMA, the need for short-term debt for
seasonal working capital related to gas inventories has been
significantly reduced over the past two years.  However, the AMA
expires in May 2010.  In addition, MGC's $125 million bank
facility expires in September 2010 and MGC will have to extend or
replace these facilities to maintain adequate future liquidity.
Fitch expects this will be done following the March 2010 base rate
order.  Long-term debt maturities are sizable relative to annual
cash flow with $20 million due 2012 and $70 million due 2017.

Fitch's Stable Outlook incorporates the expectation that MGC's
2012 maturity will be refinanced and the AMA and credit facility
will be renewed or replaced.  Fitch also assumes the proposed rate
settlement will be approved.

Declining demand and high leverage continue to be primary
concerns.  Volumetric risk exists due to the absence of a full or
partial decoupling mechanism and continued conservation would lead
to lower cash flows and high leverage without frequent rate
adjustments.  Leverage, as reported and measured by debt to
EBITDA, was 5.6 times as of Sept. 30, 2009, while EBITDA interest
coverage was 1.73x for the same 12 month period.  Credit metrics
in 2010 are expected to improve to levels more consistent with the
current rating when new base rates are implemented in April 2010.
As such, Fitch expects that MGC will remain in compliance with
financial covenants for the year.  Beyond 2010, leverage and cash
flow coverage are expected to improve as a result of a full year
of new base rates, lower working capital needs as a result of a
permanent change to the budget customer bill pay program that
ensures greater cash flow stability, and enhanced cost controls
associated with the new customer service center.  Rating concerns
also include the aforementioned renewal risks associated with the
AMA, which expires in May 2010, and the bank credit agreement,
which expires in September 2010.

Other rating concerns relate to relatively infrequent adjustments
of the PGA (annual) compared to industry peers and risks
associated with the continuing transition to an in-house call-
center and billing system.  The first phase was successfully
completed in January 2010, at which time MGC started accepting
calls and processing initial bills.

In December 2009, MGC reached a Joint Stipulation and Agreement
for Settlement with the WVPSC Staff and the CAD.  As a result, all
three parties have since proposed and recommended to the
Commission a settlement of MGC's rate case.  The stipulation
proposes a $19 million base rate increase (72% of requested
amount), with $16 million effective April 2010 and $3 million
effective November 2010, with an implied ROE in the range of
10.0%-10.5%.  Under the agreement, $15 million of the base rate
increase would result from an increase in customer delivery
charges.  The statutory deadline for a final rate order from the
WVPSC occurs in March 2010.  At that time, the WVPSC is also
expected to decide on the approval of a weather normalization
rate, which MGC requested in its base rate filing in June 2009
pursuant to the expiration of the rate freeze.  In Fitch's view,
the terms of the joint stipulation agreement and the potential for
a permanent or pilot decoupling mechanism for weather are
constructive and supportive of greater cash flow certainty as more
of the utility's margin would be fixed.  Furthermore, no rate
freeze was proposed or agreed to in the settlement, which would
minimize future regulatory lag.

MGC, the sole subsidiary of Mountaineer Gas Holdings LP, is a
natural gas local distribution company that is engaged in the
sale, distribution, and transport of natural gas to 220,000
customers in West Virginia.  The company is jointly owned by
private equity investor ArcLight Capital Partners LLC and managing
operator, IGS Utilities, LLC.


MUZAK HOLDINGS: Completes Restructuring and Emerges From Ch. 11
---------------------------------------------------------------
Muzak Holdings LLC and certain of its subsidiaries on Monday
announced that the Company has successfully completed its
financial restructuring and has emerged from protection under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  Through the
restructuring process Muzak significantly improved its balance
sheet, reducing the Company's outstanding debt by more than half.

Muzak's chapter 11 plan of reorganization was confirmed by the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on
January 12, 2010.  The Court also approved Muzak's previously
announced $108.75 million Senior Secured Exit Financing Facility
commitment from GE Capital Restructuring Finance, Silver Point
Finance, LLC and MFC Global Investment Management.  The commitment
will be used to satisfy the claims of the Company's prepetition
senior secured lenders, to fund working capital and for other
general corporate purposes.  In addition, under the terms of the
Company's plan of reorganization, Silver Point Capital has become
the majority equity owner of Muzak.

"Today marks the successful completion of our financial
restructuring and a new beginning for our 75 year old company,"
said Stephen P. Villa, Chief Executive Officer of Muzak.  "When we
began this process less than one year ago, we set out to develop a
plan that would garner the full support of our creditors, while
allowing the Company to continue normal operations.  We are proud
to have accomplished that goal and to have maintained our strong
commitment to our clients.  I would like to thank our employees
and independent affiliates, whose hard work and loyalty have been
instrumental in all that we have achieved and will continue to be
an important factor in our future.  We are excited to move forward
as a financially stronger company and are confident that we are
now well-positioned for continued leadership and innovation, which
will ensure the long-term success of the Company."

Mr. Villa continued, "To best serve our clients going forward, we
have realigned Muzak's organizational structure.  It is with great
pleasure that we formally announce the launch of Muzak's three new
business divisions.  Our commitment to clients has never been
stronger, and we are confident that this new structure will allow
us to further improve client service and enhance the client
experience."

                               Media

The new division will centralize existing Muzak products including
Music, Voice and Video, to streamline internal processes and
expand and accelerate its services and capabilities. The Media
group will leverage its strategic content acquisition efforts and
continue to expand its global licensing, rights and clearance
management department, programming operations and media
syndication platform. The Media group is led by Christopher
Williams, Executive Vice President.

                               Touch

Touch is a solutions-driven design service that specializes in the
intricacies of sensory branding. Touch was established to serve
those prospects and clients seeking to maximize the value of every
customer touchpoint. Touch will focus on a purpose-built,
strategy-led and ROI-driven approach to in-store experience
through dynamic use of music, digital signage, messaging, music
licensing, social media and integrated technology. Touch is led by
Robert Finigan, Vice President and General Manager.

                              Systems

Systems combines Muzak's Pro Sound, Technical Operations, QSR and
Strategic Equipment Development departments into one division.
With an industry-leading network of highly trained technicians
spanning approximately 200 service locations, the Systems group
creates the ultimate value proposition. By leveraging its full
lifecycle integration of technical systems and audio and visual
solutions, clients can create the ultimate media experience from
inception and design through installation and ongoing service. The
Systems group is led by Tom Gantert, Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Villa concluded, "As we move into the future, our strengthened
capital structure provides us with the renewed ability to invest
in new talent and technology that will allow us to provide new
offerings and further enhance the first class products and
services that our clients have come to expect from Muzak."

OSHKOSH CORP: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the ratings on Oshkosh
Corp., including the 'B+' corporate credit rating, and revised the
outlook to positive from stable.

The outlook revision reflects significant improvement in credit
measures as the company's defense segment processes large orders.
The company delivered more than 2,300 vehicles under its M-ATV
(Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected)) program in the quarter and
reported about $300 million of operating income improvement from
the previous-year levels.  In considering a ratings upgrade, S&P
will monitor the prospects for Oshkosh to maintain improved credit
measures beyond this year after it completes the large M-ATV
contract.

The ratings continue to reflect Oshkosh's aggressive financial
risk profile, which more than offsets its leading business
positions in key segments of the specialty vehicle market and good
product and end-market diversity.

"While most of Oshkosh's industrial end markets remain weak, S&P
expects the company's defense segment to support overall results,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Dan Picciotto.  S&P could
raise the ratings if S&P expects industrial end markets to improve
next year as the defense segment's M-ATV-related profits decline,
resulting in credit measures consistent with S&P's expectations.
For instance, if the company appears likely to maintain credit
measures of less than 4x adjusted debt to EBITDA and more than 15%
funds from operations to total adjusted debt, S&P could raise the
ratings.

"Alternatively, S&P could revise the outlook to stable if a
prolonged downturn or debt-financed acquisition results in weaker
credit measures," he continued.  For instance, if the company does
not make further meaningful debt repayments and EBITDA declines to
less than $450 million in 2011, adjusted debt to EBITDA would
increase to more than 4x, which could result in an outlook
revision to stable.


OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: S&P Downgrades Corp. Credit Rating to 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term corporate
rating on Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. to 'BB-' from 'BB'.

At the same time, S&P lowered its ratings on the company's senior
unsecured debt to 'BB-' from 'BB', one notch below the new
corporate credit rating.  The '4' recovery rating remains
unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation that lenders will receive
an average (30%-50%) recovery in a payment default scenario.  The
outlook is stable.

The ratings on New York City-based OSG reflect the company's
weakened financial profile due to significantly reduced earnings,
caused by prolonged weakness in tanker rates and incremental debt
from the ongoing vessel newbuild program.  The ratings also
reflect the competitive nature of the shipping industry and the
company's historically aggressive financial policy, characterized
by share repurchases and increased dividends, despite reduced
earnings.  Positive credit factors include adequate liquidity and
a well-established market position in the ocean transportation of
crude oil and petroleum products.

"The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectations that the company
will continue to have sufficient financial flexibility to work
through the weak operating environment and that the company will
eventually benefit from a recovery in tanker rates over the long
term," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Funmi Afonja.  "If
covenant headroom becomes constrained, and S&P believes that a
material change in earnings or debt could cause a breach in one
year, S&P would likely lower the ratings further."

"We believe that an upgrade is unlikely over the next year, given
the steep deterioration in the company's financial profile and
current market conditions," she continued.


PACERS INC: Employee & Entertainer Claims Due By March 8
--------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Louise DeCarl Adler directs that any wage and hour
or entertainer creditor holding claims against Pacers, Inc., that
arose or was deemed to have arisen prior to August 27, 2009,
against Pacers, Inc., must file a proof of claim with the

PARKING CORP OF AMERICA: Files for Bankruptcy to Sell Assets
------------------------------------------------------------
Macquarie Infrastructure Company on January 28, 2010, said its
airport parking business, Parking Corporation of America Airports,
has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Bainbridge ZKS -
Corinthian Holdings, LLC.

The agreement, which is subject to approval by the bankruptcy
court in Delaware, will result in Bainbridge ZKS - Corinthian
Holdings, LLC acquiring the assets of the airport parking business
for $111.5 million, subject to certain adjustments.

The signing of the asset purchase agreement is the first step in a
bankruptcy court-led sale.  On January 28, PCAA and its
subsidiaries also commenced voluntary Chapter 11 cases with the
bankruptcy court for the District of Delaware.  If approved, the
transaction is expected to close within the first half of 2010.

"The previously disclosed process involving the airport parking
business is moving ahead as expected," said James Hooke, Chief
Executive Officer of Macquarie Infrastructure Company.  "Following
a sales process, the business has negotiated an agreement with a
bidder who will take matters forward within the context of a
bankruptcy filing and asset sale," he added.

The sale of the airport parking business and the repayment of
MIC's holding company level debt reported in December, 2009
provides shareholders with resolution on the two highest priority
issues identified by management in mid-2009.

The sale would result in the elimination of approximately
$201.0 million of current debt from MIC's consolidated balance
sheet. The debt in excess of the sale proceeds used to repay such
debt would be booked as income (cancellation of debt income).  MIC
would also record proceeds in excess of the business' assets as a
gain on sale.  As a part of the bankruptcy sale process, all cash
proceeds would be paid to creditors of the business and not to
MIC.

MIC has previously written the value of its equity in the business
down to zero. The value of the property, plant and equipment of
the business has been written down to approximately $84.0 million
and the value of the intangible assets has been written down to
zero.  The airport parking business comprises 31 facilities in 20
major commercial airport markets around the country.

In a related matter, MIC expects to record a non-cash charge in
the fourth quarter of 2009 to increase its valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets.  The amount of the charge is being reviewed,
but is likely to be in a range of $40.0 to $60.0 million.  While
the Company believes it will generate positive taxable income in
the future and utilize its deferred tax assets, it does not
believe it meets the proscribed accounting standard of sufficient
positive evidence to avoid recording the increase.  The
cancellation of debt income that is expected to be recorded on
closing of the sale of the airport parking business could result
in the reversal of a significant portion of the valuation
allowance.

The charge is primarily due to impairment charges recorded in the
first half of 2009, including those relating to the airport
parking business.  The charge also reflects the impact of the sale
of a 49.99% interest in MIC's district energy business in December
that resulted in removal of that business from MIC's consolidated
income tax return.

QUALITY HOME: S&P Assigns 'CCC+' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'CCC+'
corporate credit rating to Cary, North Carolina-based Quality Home
Brands.  The outlook is developing, reflecting S&P's concern about
the company's operating performance and ability to meet its
current financial covenant given the uncertain economic
environment and housing industry.

In addition, Standard & Poor's assigned its issue-level and
recovery ratings to QHB's $231 million senior secured debt
(consisting of $126 million of the existing first-lien term loan,
$106 million of first-lien payment-in-kind (PIK) term loan) and
$20 million first-out loan revolving credit facility (all maturing
2014).  The consolidated first-lien term loan is rated 'CCC', one
notch lower than the corporate credit rating.  The recovery rating
is '5', indicating S&P's expectation that lenders will have a
modest recovery (10%-30%) in the event of a payment default.  The
asset-based loan revolving credit facility is rated 'B', two
notches higher than the corporate credit rating, with a recovery
of '1', indicating an expectation for very high recovery (90%-
100%) in the event of a payment default.

The company exchanged $231 million total outstanding debt of its
existing first-lien term loan for a new $106 million first-lien
PIK term loan and a $126 million first-lien cash pay term loan.
The company also converted $156 million of debt, comprised of
$101 million outstanding on its second-lien term loan and
$55 million senior note, into common equity in the restructure.
In addition, Quad-C Management Inc. invested $20 million for
convertible preferred equity, of which the proceeds were used to
pay for fees and expenses related to the capital restructure, and
for general corporate purposes.

"The ratings on QHB reflect its still highly leveraged financial
profile, narrow product focus, and exposure to the current weak
housing industry and overall U.S. economy," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst.  This has significantly and adversely affected the
company's operating performance over the last 12 months.

QHB designs, supplies, manufactures, and markets residential and
commercial lighting fixtures.  The company has leading brand names
in the highly fragmented and competitive lighting industry,
including Murray Feiss, Monte Carlo, Sea Gull Lighting, and Tech
Lighting.

Standard & Poor's views the scope of QHB's operations in the
lighting fixture industry as narrow.  Most of the company's sales
are generated from home remodeling (about 79%), with the balance
related to new construction.  Although the home remodeling segment
is generally less cyclical than new-housing construction, the
current housing market and challenging economic conditions in the
U.S. has significantly affected the company and is expected to
continue to affect QHB's operating performance.  Moreover, there
is some supplier concentration in the Murray Feiss and Tech
Lighting brand segments, which source all or a majority of its
product components from one supplier in China, respectively.

The outlook is developing, reflecting S&P's concern that the
company will continue to be negatively affected if the housing
industry and economic conditions remain weak.  If operating
results continue to deteriorate, and covenant cushions and
liquidity tighten, S&P could lower the ratings.  Alternatively,
S&P could raise the ratings if the housing market strengthens and
QHB's sales and profits improve and this results in the company
being able to maintain adequate liquidity.


QUANTUM CORP: Reports $182 Mil. Revenues for 3rd Quarter 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------
Quantum Corp. said that revenue for its fiscal third quarter ended
Dec. 31, 2009, was $182 million.  This represented an 11 percent
decline from the same period last year, primarily due to expected
reductions in OEM revenue, including DXi software, tape, and
devices and media sales.

Despite the year-over-year decline, revenue increased 4 percent
from the prior quarter -- the second consecutive quarter of
sequential growth -- and branded revenue was up from both FQ2'10
and the same period last year.  As it did in the prior quarter,
the company reported a GAAP gross margin rate above 40 percent,
although the 41.1 percent rate in the December quarter was down
from 42.1 percent in FQ3'09, largely due to the decline in OEM DXi
software revenue.

Quantum also delivered its third consecutive quarter of GAAP
profit, with $5 million in net income, or diluted earnings per
share of two cents. This compared to a GAAP net loss of
$329 million in FQ3'09.  The $5 million profit included $9 million
in amortization of intangibles and $2 million in stock-based
compensation charges, which together reduced diluted earnings per
share by five cents.

Quantum generated $17 million in cash from operations for FQ3'10
and ended the quarter with over $100 million in cash and cash
equivalents.

"The December quarter further demonstrated the strength of our
business model, with results in several areas being among the best
we've achieved over the past 10 years," said Rick Belluzzo,
chairman and CEO of Quantum.  "With a strong contribution from our
branded business and gross margin above 40 percent, we again
delivered solid GAAP profits and sequential revenue growth.  Our
record level of branded disk systems and software revenue also
speaks to the opportunity we have in key growth segments of the
storage market, particularly given the recent additions we've made
to our product portfolio with the DXi6500 family of NAS-based
deduplication appliances and the latest release of our StorNext
data management software."

Quantum's product revenue, which includes sales of the company's
hardware and software products, totaled $125 million in FQ3'10.
This represented a decrease of $19 million from FQ3'09, primarily
reflecting the expected declines in OEM revenue.

Disk systems and software revenue, inclusive of related software
maintenance and service revenue, was $25 million in the December
quarter.  This was down approximately $6 million from the same
quarter last year, primarily due to reduced OEM DXi software
revenue.  However, on a branded basis, Quantum generated its
highest level of disk systems and software revenue to date.  A
sampling of major DXi7500 account wins during the quarter included
new business with one of the world's largest technology consulting
companies, a leading global supplier of industrial gasses and a
national lottery operator in Asia.  In addition, Quantum had
several repeat DXi7500 orders, including those from two top U.S.
and Asian insurance companies, one of the world's biggest
telecommunications providers and a major university medical center
in the U.S.

Also contributing to the record disk systems and software revenue
in FQ3'10 were significant StorNext wins, most notably a deal for
more than a million dollars in which StorNext will play a central
role in a multi-site, private cloud implementation for a Fortune
Global 10 company.  Other key wins included new business with a
major television studio in Asia and follow-on orders from a
multinational technology company and a large weather services
provider in North America.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on July 10, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Quantum Corp. to 'B-' from 'CC'.  S&P also raised the
company's subordinated rating to 'CCC' from 'C'.  S&P has removed
all ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed on April 3,
2009.  The outlook is negative.

The TCR said July 8, 2009, Moody's Investors Service upgraded
Quantum's corporate family rating and probability of default
rating each to B3, from Caa1 and Ca, respectively, following the
announcement that the Company has repurchased more than
$135 million of its 4.375% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2010.  The rating outlook is positive.


READER'S DIGEST: Delays Ch. 11 Exit to Address UK Pension Issues
----------------------------------------------------------------
Reader's Digest Association on Monday said it has elected to
temporarily delay its emergence from Chapter 11 to address an
issue involving the pension program of The Reader's Digest
Association, Ltd., the company's UK entity.

RDA said the issue is specific to the UK entity and does not
involve any other RDA company.  RDA's restructuring plan was
confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York on January 15, 2010, enabling the company to
choose its date for emergence. RDA expects to emerge within the
next few weeks.

Last month, the UK entity came to an agreement with the trustees
of its pension plan and the UK Pension Protection Fund to resolve
the company's UK pension fund deficit. This agreement was
contingent on approval from the UK Pensions Regulator, which has
now indicated that it will not approve the pension application. In
light of this unexpected ruling, the UK entity is now reviewing
its options in an attempt to find a solution.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' issue-level
(two notches above the corporate credit rating) to Louisville,
Kentucky-based Res-Care Inc.'s proposed $275 million senior
secured revolving credit facility, which matures in July 2013.
The recovery rating on this debt issue is '1', indicating S&P's
expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery in the event of
payment default.  The credit facility, which is an amendment and
restatement of the company's existing credit facility, extends its
maturity from October 2010 to July 2013, increases the revolver
size by $25 million, and maintains the $50 million accordion
feature.

S&P's corporate credit rating on Res-Care is 'BB-' and the rating
outlook is negative, reflecting the company's existing aggressive
financial risk profile and uncertainty of state budget cuts.  The
company's diversification in many markets and ability to grow
operations in a moderate, disciplined manner somewhat mitigate
this risk.  The amendment and restatement of the credit facility
provides a small expansion of the size of the revolving credit
facility, eliminates near-term refinancing risk, and provides
temporary covenant relief until the end of 2010.  Res-Care's
rolling-12-month total lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA was 3.1x as
of Sept. 30, 2009.  S&P believes that lease-adjusted debt to
EBITDA could rise because of limited EBITDA growth, possible
additional debt if a $54 million legal judgment in New Mexico is
finalized in early 2010, and committed acquisitions.  S&P expects
the company to continue to fund smaller acquisition activity
primarily with free operating cash flow and availability under its
revolver.


RH DONNELLEY: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B' From 'D'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its
corporate credit rating on North Carolina-based R.H. Donnelley
Corp. to 'B', from 'D', in conjunction with the company's
emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"At the same time, S&P assigned its issue-level and recovery
ratings to the company's reorganized capital structure, consisting
of a consolidated debt balance of approximately $3.4 billion, of
which $3.1 billion represents secured indebtedness," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Michael Listner.  The $956 million term
loan issued by Dex Media East LLC is rated 'B+' (one notch higher
than the 'B' corporate credit rating on the ultimate parent
company, R.H. Donnelley Corp.) with a recovery rating of '2',
indicating S&P's expectation that lenders can expect substantial
(70%-90%) recovery in the event of payment default.  Similarly,
the $904 million term loan issued by Dex Media West LLC is rated
'B+' (one notch higher than the corporate credit rating on R.H.
Donnelley Corp.) with a recovery rating of '2', indicating S&P's
expectation that lenders can expect substantial (70%-90%) recovery
in the event of payment default.  The $1,225 million term loan
issued by R.H. Donnelley Inc. is rated 'B' (at the same level as
the corporate credit rating on R.H. Donnelley Corp.) with a
recovery rating of '3', indicating S&P's expectation that lenders
can expect meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of payment
default.  Finally, the $300 million unsecured notes issued by R.H.
Donnelley Corp. are rated 'CCC+' (two notches lower than the 'B'
corporate credit rating) with a recovery rating of '6', indicating
S&P's expectation that lenders can expect negligible (0-10%)
recovery in the event of payment default.

The rating action follows the emergence of R.H. Donnelley from its
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and the effectiveness of the
company's plan of reorganization.  The 'B' corporate credit rating
reflects the secular declines S&P believes to be prevailing in the
print directories sector as well as S&P's expectation for a
sustained level of EBITDA and revenue declines for the foreseeable
future.  S&P's expectation is more conservative than management's
expectation for growth in revenue and profitability by 2012, as
specified in the company's disclosure statement.  S&P's rating
assumptions incorporate its view that print directory advertising
will continue to shrink as a component of small business
advertising.  While S&P expects R.H. Donnelley will continue to
transition its customers to its online offerings, S&P notes
increased competition within the online channel, when compared to
print, and the ongoing evolution of this business model.


RHODES COMPANIES: Hearing on Lenders' Plan Slated for Feb. 11
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada will convene
a hearing February 11, 2010, at 9:30 a.m. to consider confirmation
of the amended chapter 11 plan proposed by the steering committee
of first lien lenders of The Rhodes Companies, LLC.

The First Lien Steering Committee consists of certain unaffiliated
lenders under the Credit Agreement dated as of November 21, 2005
among Heritage Land Company, LLC, The Rhodes Companies, LLC, and
Rhodes Ranch General Partnership, as the Borrowers, the First Lien
Lenders therein, and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent, Sole
Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger.

The Plan provides adequate and proper means for implementation of
the Plan, including, but not limited to, among other things:

     (i) the substantive consolidation of the Estates into a
         single Estate for all purposes associated with
         Confirmation and distributions to be made under the Plan;

    (ii) the issuance of Newco Equity Interests (based upon the
         Newco Total Enterprise Value) to the Holders of First
         Lien Lender Secured Claims;

   (iii) the issuance of $50 million in New First Lien Notes to
         the Holders of First Lien Lender Secured Claims;

    (iv) the cancellation of Old Equity Interests and certain
         other existing securities;

     (v) any restructuring transaction deemed necessary or
         appropriate to effectuate the Plan;

    (vi) the selection of the initial board of directors and
         officers of the Reorganized Debtors;

   (vii) the establishment of a Litigation Trust for the benefit
         of Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes C-1, C-2 and C-3;

  (viii) the transfer of the Rhodes Ranch Golf Course to the
         Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the terms of a stock and
         asset transfer agreement;

    (ix) the payment of $3.5 million in Cash to the Reorganized
         Debtors by the Rhodes Entities on the Effective Date; and

     (x) the transfer of the Arizona Assets to the Rhodes
         Entities.

The Plan is premised on the results achieved at mediation in
August 2009 among the First Lien Steering Committee, the agent to
the First Lien Lenders, the agent to the Second Lien Lenders, the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, the Debtors and the
Rhodes Entities.  The Rhodes Entities include James M. Rhodes,
Glynda Rhodes, et al.

The Plan allows the Debtors to continue their homebuilding
operations in the Las Vegas market and obtain material new value
from the Rhodes Entities to ensure a successful reorganization.
The Plan and the Mediation Settlement reached by the parties
contemplate that the Rhodes Entities will provide the Reorganized
Debtors with consideration worth between $11.6 million to
$20.2 million -- or $5.7 million to $14.3 million net of funded
debt obligations on the Rhodes Ranch Golf Course -- in
quantifiable assets together with additional cooperation necessary
for the Reorganized Debtors' continued business operations, which
cooperation has an indeterminable positive value.  In exchange for
this new value, the Estates will provide the Rhodes Entities with
consideration with an aggregate cost to the Estates of
approximately $2.6 million.

The First Lien Lenders will also receive, on account of their
Secured Claims, $1.5 million in cash from their collateral and
their pro rata share of $50 million in new secured notes.  The
First Lien Lenders will use the $1.5 million cash portion of their
recovery to purchase the Claims of many of the Debtors' creditors
that hold General Unsecured Claims for the allowed amount of such
Claim.  The Second Lien Lenders will receive 50% of the net
proceeds of certain pending litigation on account of their Secured
Claims.

The Plan also provides for the establishment of a Litigation Trust
that will pursue certain Claims and Causes of Action belonging to
the Debtors' Estates for the benefit of those creditors holding
General Unsecured Claims whose Claims are not purchased by the
First Lien Lenders.  The First Lien Lenders and the Second Lien
Lenders will also receive distributions from the Litigation Trust
as unsecured creditors on account of their First Lien Lender
Deficiency Claims and Second Lien Lender Deficiency Claims.

Holders of First Lien Lender Secured Claims in Class A-1; Second
Lien Lender Secured Claims in Class A-2; General Unsecured Claims
in Class C-1; First Lien Lender Deficiency Claims in Class C-2;
and Second Lien Lender Deficiency Claims in Class C-3 were
entitled to vote on the Plan.  Omni Management Group, LLC, the
Debtors' claims, notice and balloting agent, last week reported to
the Court that holders of First Lien Lender Secured Claims in
Class A-1; Second Lien Lender Secured Claims in Class A-2; First
Lien Lender Deficiency Claims in Class C-2; and Second Lien Lender
Deficiency Claims in Class C-3 have voted to accept the Plan.
However, holders of General Unsecured Claims in Class C-1 have
turned down the Plan.

RONSON CORP: Shareholders OK Sale of Aviation, Consumer Products
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ronson Corporation said Monday the sales of the Company's aviation
division to Hawthorne TTN Holdings, Inc., and of the Company's
consumer products division to Zippo Manufacturing Company were
approved by the Company's shareholders at a Special Meeting of
Shareholders held on February 1, 2010.  In addition, at the
Special Meeting the shareholders approved the change of the
Company's name from Ronson Corporation to RCLC, Inc. upon the
consummation of the sale of the consumer products division.

On May 14, 2009, the Company announced that it had signed a
definitive asset purchase agreement with Hawthorne to sell
substantially all of the assets of Ronson Aviation, Inc., the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary located at the Trenton-Mercer
Airport, a fixed base operator engaged in providing aircraft
fueling and servicing, avionics sales, aircraft repair and
maintenance, hanger and office leasing and related services.  The
purchase agreement provides for a purchase price, payable in cash
at closing, of $9.5 million, $500,000 of which will be held in
escrow for a period of 15 months to secure the Company's
indemnification obligations.

On October 13, 2009, the Company announced that it had signed a
definitive asset purchase agreement with Zippo to sell
substantially all of the assets of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiaries engaged in the consumer products business, Ronson
Consumer Products Corporation in Woodbridge, New Jersey, and
Ronson Corporation of Canada, Ltd. of Mississauga, Canada, as well
as certain related assets of Ronson Corporation.  The sale price
for these assets is $11.1 million, payable in cash at closing
subject to various adjustments, $1.350 million of which is to be
held in escrow to secure the Company's indemnification obligations
for a period of twelve months and longer in specified events.

The Company expects the closing of the sale of the consumer
products division to occur later this week and the sale of the
aviation division to occur later this month.

Somerset, New Jersey-based Ronson Corporation (Pink Sheets: RONC)
-- http://www.ronsoncorp.com/-- is the parent company of three
operating units: Ronson Aviation, Inc., an aircraft fueling and
servicing company; Ronson Consumer Products Corp., a maker and
distributor of Ronsonol lighter fluid and various other lighter
accessories; and Ronson Corporation of Canada Ltd., which markets
the company's products throughout Canada. The company is engaged
in a series of asset sales as a condition of a forbearance
agreement with its primary lender Wells Fargo Bank, NA.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $15,333,000 in total assets
against total current liabilities of $16,516,000, long-term debt
of $13,000, other long-term liabilities of $1,724,000, and other
long-term liabilities of discontinued operations of $494,000,
resulting in $3,414,000 in stockholders' deficiency.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had both a deficiency in
working capital and a stockholders' deficit.  In addition, the
Company was in violation of certain provisions of certain short-
term and long-term debt covenants at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008.

The Company's losses and difficulty in generating sufficient cash
flow to meet its obligations and sustain its operations, as well
as existing events of default under its credit facilities and
mortgage loans, raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

   the Fee Examiner will avoid duplicative review when reviewing
   final fee applications comprised of Interim Fee Application
   Requests that have already been reviewed by the Fee Examiner.

* During the course of its review, the Fee Examiner may review
   any filed documents in the Chapter 11 Cases and will be
   responsible for general familiarity with the docket in the
   Chapter 1l Cases.  The Fee Examiner will be deemed to have
   filed a request for notice of papers filed in the Chapter 11
   Cases pursuant to Rule 2002 of the Federal Rules of
   Bankruptcy Procedures.  The Fee Examiner will be served with
   all those papers.

* If the Fee Examiner has any questions, issues or disputes
   regarding an Interim Fee Application Request, the Fee
   Examiner will communicate the questions, issues or
   disputes in writing to the Applicant within 30 days after the
   latter of (a) the due date of that Interim Fee Application
   Request or (b) service upon the Fee Examiner of the Interim
   Fee Application Request.

* Any Applicant who has received an Initial Report may respond
   to questions, issues or disputes raised in the Initial

   consent of the Fee Examiner and the Applicant.

* The Fee Examiner will serve each Final Report upon the
   affected Applicant and the Notice Parties.  The Final Report

   fees and expenses of the Applicant meet the applicable
   standards of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code.

* Within 15 days after the date of the Final Report, the
   affected Applicant may file with the Court a response to the
   Final Report.  The response will be served upon the Notice
   Parties.  Hearings on all Interim Fee Application Requests
   for an Interim Fee Period will be scheduled by the Court in
   consultation with the Debtors' counsel after either the Fee
   Examiner has filed Final Reports for all Interim Fee
   Application Requests for the period or has expressly stated
   that the hearing will go forward without all the Final
   Reports being filed.

* Should an Applicant fail to meet one or more deadlines for
   the review of an Interim Fee Application Request, and, in the
   sole discretion of the Fee Examiner, the Applicant's failure
   to meet these deadlines does not allow sufficient time for
   the review process to be completed, the Interim Fee
   Application Request will be heard at a subsequent hearing
   date.

* The Fee Examiner will be available for deposition and
   cross-examination by the Debtors, the Official Committee of
   Unsecured Creditors, the Office of the United States Trustee

nature.

                          Six Flags Plan

In broad terms, the Plan, as thrice amended, envisions new debt
financing and a rights offering that will repay the existing
secured debt in full, while allowing enhanced recoveries for
senior unsecured noteholders at both the Six Flags Inc. and Six
Flags Operations Inc. levels.  In this general sense, the Plan
incorporates the central features of an alternative plan put
forward by a committee of noteholders and the group has indicated
it will support the Plan.

The Plan provides for a recovery of 100.0% to holders of SFTP
Prepetition Credit Agreement Claims, a 100% recovery for the
holders of all Other Secured Claims, a 100% recovery for the
holders of Unsecured Claims against all Debtors other than SFO and
SFI, 31.2% to 47.1% to holders of SFO Unsecured Claims, 3.2% to
4.8% to holders of SFI Unsecured Claims, and no recovery for
holders of Funtime, Inc. Claims, Subordinated Securities Claims
and Preconfirmation Equity Interests in SFI.

reorganization plan is available for free at:

SIX FLAGS: SFO Noteholders Don't Represent Committee Members
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Christopher S. Sontchi issued a Memorandum of Opinion as a
follow through to his January 11, 2010 Order denying motion of the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Six Flags Inc.'s
cases to compel an ad hoc group of holders of notes issued by Six
Flags Operating Inc. to comply with Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules
of Bankruptcy Procedure.

Judge Sontchi clarifies that, in its plain meaning, a committee
is a body of two or more people appointed for some special
function by and usually out of a larger body.  The use of the
word "appointed" clearly contemplates some action be taken by the
larger body, Judge Sontchi notes.  Thus, a self appointed subset
of a larger group -- whether it calls itself an informal
committee, an ad hoc committee or a body by some other name --
simply does not constitute a committee under the plain meaning of
the word, Judge Sontchi explains.

In order for a group to constitute a committee under Rule 2019,
it would need to be formed by a larger group either by consent,
contact or applicable law -- not by "self help," Judge Sontchi
opines.

Judge Sontchi further states that the meaning of "represent," is:
"take the place of (another); be a substitute in some capacity
for; act or speak for another by a deputed right." A deputed
right is one that is assigned to another person.  Thus, the plain
meaning of "represent" contemplates an active appointment of an
agent to assert deputed rights.  It is black letter law that a
person cannot establish itself as another's agent that it may
bind the purported principal without that principal's consent
unless the principal ratifies the agent's actions.  Thus, under
the plain meaning of the phrase "a committee representing more
than one creditor," a committee must consist of a group
representing the interests of a larger group with that larger
group's consent or by operation of law, Judge Sontchi adds.

As the SFO Noteholders Informal Committee does not represent any
persons other than its members either by consent or operation of
law, it is not a "committee" under Rule 2019 and, thus, its
members need not make the disclosures required under the rule,
Judge Sontchi stresses.

SMART MODULAR: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'B1'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed SMART Modular Technologies,
Inc.'s corporate family rating at B1 and revised its ratings
outlook to stable from negative.  The stabilization of the ratings
outlook reflects recent debt repurchase (32% of its total
outstanding debt) and expectations of continued improvement in
financial results and credit metrics.  Additionally, the stable
ratings outlook incorporates Moody's view that SMART will maintain
an adequate liquidity profile over the near-term supported by its
relatively large unrestricted cash balance, breakeven free cash
flows and removal of its financial covenant issue overhang.

Despite still challenging economic conditions, over the last few
quarters SMART has demonstrated modest sequential revenue growth,
while improving its profitability and EBITDA levels.  Further, due
to debt pay down, debt leverage has decreased to roughly 1.9x and
interest coverage (as measured by EBITDA / interest expense) has
improved to 3.9x.  In addition, Moody's expects that SMART will
continue to benefit from improving demand trends within several of
its key product markets including PC, networking and storage.  It
will also benefit from more stable pricing environment and a more
positive supply/demand balance within the DRAM market.

These ratings were affirmed:

* Corporate Family Rating -- B1
* Probability of Default Rating -- B1

This LGD point estimate was revised:

* $55 Million Senior Secured second lien notes to B1 (LGD3, 45%)
  from B1 (LGD3, 49%)

* Ratings outlook is stable

SMART's B1 CFR is supported by the company's low financial
leverage, good interest coverage, high levels of balance sheet
cash, and Moody's expectations for improved profitability, driven
by improved pricing and a more positive supply/demand balance
within the DRAM memory market.  The rating also reflects Moody's
expectation that SMART will continue to diversify its product mix
into a greater proportion of non-DRAM product segments including
continued investments in flash and solid state storage product
introductions.

Conversely, the rating is constrained by SMART's continued heavy
concentration within the volatile DRAM memory module market, which
is characterized by intensely competitive industry dynamics, rapid
technological changes, short product life cycles, at times
significant pricing pressure and generally wide fluctuations in
supply and demand.  The company is also exposed to a still
tentative enterprise spending environment, the potential for
declines in revenues and gross profit should pricing pressure
increase significantly or supply/demand balances in the DRAM
market turn negative and its significant levels of customer
concentration, albeit improved from historical proportions.
Moody's also notes that while the company has historically not
been reliant on external sources of liquidity, the company's
revolving credit facility is set to mature in April 2010.
However, Moody's expects that SMART will renew its revolver, which
could benefit Moody's view of the company's liquidity profile.

The last rating action was on October 7, 2008, when Moody's
revised SMART's ratings outlook to negative from stable,
downgraded the senior secured second lien notes rating to B1 from
Ba3 and affirmed the corporate family rating at B1.

SMART Modular Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Newark,
California and incorporated in the Cayman Islands, is a leading
independent manufacturer of specialty memory modules, solid state
storage products such as embedded flash and solid state drives
(SSD), that are sold to OEMs.  The company's products are used for
a variety of applications in the computing, networking,
communications, printers, storage and industrial markets globally.
Revenues and EBITDA for last twelve months ended November 27, 2009
were $424 million and $36 million, respectively.


SMART MODULAR: S&P Raises Rating on $125 Mil. Notes to 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its issue-level
rating and revised the recovery rating upward on SMART Modular
Technologies Inc.'s $125 million senior secured second priority
floating-rate notes.  S&P raised the issue-level rating on the
second-priority notes to 'BB+' (two notches above the company's
corporate credit rating) from 'BB-'.  At the same time, S&P
revised the recovery rating on the notes to '1' from '3'.  The '1'
recovery rating indicates expectations for very high (90%-100%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.

The upgrade to the issue-level rating was a result of the improved
recovery prospects, which reflected less estimated debt at default
due to continued debt repayments, and a slightly improved
enterprise valuation.  The company has repaid approximately
$25 million more of their second-priority notes from the time of
S&P's last published analysis, leaving only $55.1 million
outstanding.  Positive EBITDA trends and improvements over the
past few months also caused us to raise the company's valuation
modestly.

SMART's 'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook remain
unchanged.

SMURFIT-STONE: Claimant Cries Fraud in Handling of Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
Henry L. Fernandez, Jr., an unsecured creditor, asks the Court
not to approve Smurfit-Stone Container's Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization.  He argues that his status is not clear under the
Plan but he assumes that he has an unsecured claim under Class 1D.

Mr. Fernandez notes that the status of his claim is not clear,
whether it is allowed, disallowed or disputed.

He tells the Court that he thinks the Debtors engaged in fraud in
handling his claims because:

  -- the Debtors have no legitimate basis to deny his claims
     for injuries that he sustained while working as an employee
     of the Debtors;

  -- the Debtors acted in a discriminatory manner towards him;

  -- the Debtors used his affiliations with an international
     union as a basis to withhold benefits to which he was
     otherwise entitled, by way of the Collective Bargaining
     Agreement between the Debtors and the Union; and

  -- it has come to his attention that the Debtors have either
     settled or continued to pay claims that were either junior
     to his claims or otherwise legally inferior to his claims.

SMURFIT-STONE: Court Approves Disclosure Statement to Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Brendan L. Shannon of the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware opined that the Disclosure Statement
explaining Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Smurfit-Stone
Container Corporation and its debtor affiliates contains "adequate
information" within the meaning of Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy
Code on January 29, 2010.

The Court overruled all objections to the Disclosure Statement
that have not been withdrawn or otherwise resolved, including an
objection submitted by Ontonagon County Historical Society and
those made by shareholders and public officials in Montana and
Michigan, where the Debtors closed factories after the Petition
Date.

As previously reported, the Debtors received objections to the
Disclosure Statement from more than 20 parties-in-interest.  The
Debtors subsequently filed an omnibus response to the Disclosure
Statement Objections and submitted a chart listing their specific
responses to each Objecting Parties' objections.  To reflect
certain minor revisions, the Debtors submitted an amended
Objection Response Chart on January 28, 2010, a blacklined copy
of which is available for free at:

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

Before the Court entered the Disclosure Statement Order, the
Debtors submitted notices of further proposed revisions to the
Plan and Disclosure Statement and blacklined versions of the Plan
and Disclosure Statement reflecting those changes on January 29.

Among the January 29 revisions are:

  (1) The inclusion of a provision, stating that a newly formed
      Smurfit-Stone company will be allowed to buy the Debtors'
      assets in certain of the Canadian Debtor subsidiaries if
      their unsecured creditors vote not to accept the Plan.
      The Canadian New Company will be a partnership existing
      under the laws of Ontario and formed for the purchase of
      the Canadian Assets.

  (2) The addition of a provision, stating that Industrial
      Revenue Bond Claims and Hodge Industrial Revenue Bond
      Claims will have the opportunity to make a certain "Cash-
      Out Election."  Each eligible participant will be able to
      indicate on its Ballot the percentage amount of its
      Allowed Claim that it would be willing to receive in cash
      in exchange for its Allowed Claim.

  (3) The disclosure of the amount of awards given to
      participants of the Debtors' management incentive plan for
      2009.

Statement with revisions dated January 29 are available for free
at:

          http://bankrupt.com/misc/SmrftBlckPlan2.pdf
          http://bankrupt.com/misc/SmrftBlckDS2.pdf

With the approval of the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement,
the Debtors are consequently permitted by the Court to solicit
acceptances of the Plan.

A full-text copy of the Disclosure Statement Order is available
for free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/SmrftDSOrd.pdf

At the Disclosure Statement hearing, Judge Shannon also granted a
request made by shareholders for the Debtors to provide a more
precise estimate of their debt.  The Court, however, rejected the
shareholders' request for the Debtors to disclose details about
any potential sale of substantially all of their assets.

Dick King, Missoula Area Economic Development Corp.'s president
and chief executive officer, revealed to The Missoulian that a
group of investors is forming a corporation that might be able to
make an offer on a Smurfit-Stone plant in the Montana or Michigan
area.

MAEDC is based in Montana where the Debtors effected some plant
closings, and where residents are a buyer will emerge to acquire
the plants and keep those plants open.

Representing MAEDC, Robbin Itkin, Esq., at Steptoe & Johnson LLP,
a California-based law firm, said in an interview with The
Missoulian, "We do think it was very positive for our attempt to
obtain financial information, which has been the goal, and to
commence the flow of communication."

               Disclosure Statement Objections

Twenty-two parties-in-interest filed objections to the Debtors'
disclosure statement explaining their amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization and Plan of Compromise and Arrangement.

Objecting Parties are:

  -- Mark W. Mayer, Larry C. Welsh, and Brandi Young;
  -- Maricopa County Treasurer;
  -- The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson
     County;
  -- The Flower Garden LLC;
  -- Matthew Gould;
  -- Parsons Electric LLC;
  -- Maertens-Brenny Construction Company;
  -- The Ace Group of Companies;
  -- De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc.;
  -- Aurelius Capital Management LP and Columbus Hill Capital
     Management L.P.;
  -- Bond Safeguard Insurance Co. and Lexon Insurance Co.;
  -- Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company;
  -- The Holt Group;

     Capital Management LP;
  -- General Beneficial LP & Vincent Rhynes;
  -- Specialty Construction Products Ltd.;
  -- Missoula Area Economic Development Corporation;
  -- Attorney General of the State of Montana;
  -- the County of Ontonagon; and
  -- James D. Taylor

"Not surprisingly, the three most voluminous objections to the
Disclosure Statement were filed by parties who either are not
entitled to vote on the Plan or have made claims that they intend
to vote against the Plan regardless of the contents of the
Disclosure Statement," counsel for the Debtors, James F. Conlan,
Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, responded to the
objections.

He notes that two of the Objections are by groups purporting to
represent equity holders not entitled to receive a recovery under
the Plan, and the third is by Aurelius and Columbus Hill, who
have made clear their intention to object to the Plan.

SMURFIT-STONE: Provides Details to $1.85BB Exit Financing
---------------------------------------------------------
In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission dated January 15, 2010, Smurfit-Stone Container
Corporation disclosed that it provided certain prospective
lenders a presentation on financial and other matters relating to
SSCC's potential emergence from Chapter 11 protection.

As previously reported, SSCC will obtain $1.85 billion in debt
financing, consisting of a six-year $1.2 billion loan and
$650 million asset-based revolving loan, to pay creditors.

As a result, the Debtors expect to reduce its debt from
$2.9 billion to $1.1 billion, and to cut approximately 600 jobs in
2010.

provisional (P)B2 rating to Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises,
Inc.'s proposed $1.2 billion six-year term loan credit facility.
Moody's also assigned provisional (P)B2 corporate family and
probability of default ratings to SSCE.  The outlook for the
ratings is stable.

SONIC AUTOMOTIVE: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has raised its
corporate credit rating on Sonic Automotive Inc. to 'B+' from
'CCC+'.  At the same time, S&P raised its ratings on Sonic's
senior unsecured and subordinated debt.  The ratings were removed
from CreditWatch, where they had been placed on Sept. 16, 2009,
with positive implications.  The outlook is stable.

The upgrade reflects S&P's opinion that completion of the
refinancing of Sonic's secured credit facility alleviates near-
term refinancing risks because the facility was set to expire in
February 2010.  This positive development follows the company's
2009 financial transactions -- a $266 million common equity
offering and $172.5 million offering of 5.0% convertible senior
notes due Oct. 1, 2029 -- that slightly reduced leverage because
proceeds were used to reduce debt, including debt with near-term
puts or maturities.

"The upgrade also reflects S&P's belief that Sonic's EBITDA and
cash flow generation have begun increasing from their recent
lows," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Nancy Messer.  In
S&P's opinion, Sonic's ability and willingness to stabilize EBITDA
margins through aggressive cost initiatives, as well as signs of
stabilizing new-vehicle demand, will enable the company's credit
profile to become consistent with the current rating.

The ratings on Sonic reflect the company's aggressive financial
risk profile, including substantial debt leverage -- despite
recent debt reductions -- moderate cash flow protection measures,
and a fair business risk profile as one of several large
consolidators in the highly competitive U.S. auto retailing
industry.  Sonic operates dealership franchises in 15 states,
predominately in the Southeast, West, and Southwest.  More than
80% of Sonic's total new-vehicle revenue comes from import and
luxury vehicles that tend to have a fairly loyal customer base for
vehicle maintenance.  In this downturn, all the large auto
retailers, including Sonic, are depending on their diverse revenue
streams to mitigate lower vehicle revenues.

S&P believes Sonic will face weak U.S. economic conditions in
2010, and S&P expects new light-vehicle sales to rise only 8% this
year, to 11.2 million units.  This is well below the 16.1 million
units sold in 2007 but an improvement over the 2009 level of
10.4 million units.  Retailers relied on the variable nature of
their cost structures to reduce margin erosion as their revenues
shrank in the downturn.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's assumption that the company's
improved cost structure and control systems, in combination with a
diverse revenue stream and resilient brand mix, will enable the
credit profile to become consistent with the rating, even if U.S.
light-vehicle sales rise only slightly this year.  S&P also
assumes the company will defer making large acquisitions until
lease-adjusted leverage begins to decline.  For the 'B+' rating,
S&P expects the company's lease-adjusted leverage to move toward
6x over the next two years through a combination of higher EBITDA
and some debt reduction.  S&P also expects the company to report
free cash flow during this period as a result of cost controls and
lower spending on capital investments.

S&P could raise the rating if S&P believed that Sonic could
continue to offset difficult auto sales with its revenue diversity
and focus on operating efficiencies, combined with generating
positive free cash and reducing debt, through 2010 and into 2011.
This could occur if the company's lease-adjusted leverage drops to
6x or less as a result of using free cash flow for permanent debt
reduction.  Leverage for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2009, was
6.8x.

S&P could lower the rating if S&P believed the company would not
report free cash flow in the year ahead -- perhaps because of a
high number of acquisitions and/or investment in dealer upgrades -
- and that adjusted leverage would remain near 6.5x or higher.
For example, S&P could lower the rating if S&P believed the
company's reported EBITDA would fall short of its 2010 assumption
of $150 million by 10% or more and debt would remain at current
levels such that adjusted leverage would remain above 6.5x.  This
could occur if the U.S. economy remains weak and the company is
unable to reduce its cost base to fit the reduced revenue.


SONY PICTURES: To Slash 6.5% of Work Force in Coming Weeks
----------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Ethan Smith reports Sony Corp.'s Sony
Pictures is planning to lay off about 450 employees, or 6.5% of
its current work force, in the next few weeks.  Mr. Smith points
to an email sent to Sony Pictures' staff on Monday.

According to the Journal, Co-Chairmen Michael Lynton and Amy
Pascal cited in the memo the challenges to their business that
have stemmed from digital technology, both legal and illegal-
including digital piracy and the impact of social-media services
that have sometimes undermined studios' marketing efforts.

The Journal relates majority of the layoffs are expected to hit
the studio's home-entertainment and information-technology
departments, but nearly all divisions -- including motion
pictures, television production, and corporate -- are expected to
feel an impact to some extent.  The Journal says most of the
layoffs are expected to fall in the U.S., and to take place during
the first week in March.  The memo indicated that affected
employees haven't yet been notified, the Journal says.

According to the Journal, before about 250 layoffs last Spring,
the studio's head count was around 7,000.  After the current round
is complete, the Journal continues, the head count will stand at
around 6,300, a reduction of 10%.  In addition, the studio will
not fill about 100 jobs that are currently open.

The Journal reports that according to Adams Media Research, DVD
sales in the U.S. declined 13% in 2009, to $8.73 billion.  The
Journal relates that put a major dent in studios' bottom line,
despite a 10% surge in domestic box-office receipts to $9.87
billion.  That made 2009 the first time since 2002 that theatrical
revenues in the U.S. outpaced home-video sales, the Journal says.

SPANSION INC: Committee Demands Documents From Noteholders
----------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Spansion Inc.'s
cases seeks entry of an order compelling the Ad Hoc Consortium of
Floating Rate Noteholders to respond to certain document requests.

In connection with the Debtors' Second Amended Disclosure
Statement dated December 16, 2009, the Committee requested that
the Consortium produce certain documents, including, among other
things, communications by, between or among, the current and
former members of the Consortium regarding the various iterations
of the Debtors' plan of reorganization and disclosure statement.
According to the Debtors, despite their patent relevance to the
confirmation of the Plan, the Consortium has refused to search
for and produce any documents from the files of any current and
former members of the Consortium on the grounds that those
Document Requests are "overly broad," "unduly burdensome," and
"not relevant and/or not reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence."

The Committee asserts that the Document Requests:

  (i) are highly relevant to the Committee's claims that the
      FRNs are receiving in excess of 100% of their claims
      against the Debtors; and

(ii) are clearly reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of
      admissible evidence.

According to the Committee, current or former members of the
Consortium may possess documents concerning the value to be
received by the FRNs under the Plan.  Any document may provide
key admissions and evidence by former or current Consortium
members regarding possible payment to FRNs in excess of 100% of
their claims, the Committee maintains.

SPANSION INC: SJL Deadline for Foundry Election Extended
--------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey has extended Spansion Japan Limited's
deadline to file any election under Section 365(n) of the
Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Foundry Agreement through
January 29, 2010.

Spansion Japan asked the Court to extend its deadline from
January 4, 2010, to February 11, 2010, or a later date as the
Court may hold a hearing to consider confirmation of the Debtors'
proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

As previously reported, the Court, on November 19, 2009, entered
an order granting the motion of the Debtors authorizing their
rejection of the Second Amended and Restated Foundry Agreement
with Spansion Japan Limited.  The Rejection Order provides, among
others, that Spansion Japan must file any election under Section
365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Foundry
Agreement on or before January 4, 2010, and serve that election
upon counsel to the Debtors, the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors and the Ad Hoc Consortium of Noteholders.

Gregory A. Taylor, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., in Wilmington,
Delaware, counsel to Spansion Japan, relates that at the time the
Rejection Order was entered, other Spansion Japan-related issues
were set to be heard on dates well in advance of the January 4,
2010 date and the confirmation process was supposed to be
completed shortly thereafter.  Among the issues are:

  (a) Motion of Spansion Japan Limited for entry of an order
      allowing certain of its claims as Administrative
      Expenses and directing their payment;

  (b) Motion of GE Financial Services Corporation for allowance
      and payment of Administrative Expense Claim were set to be
      heard on December 15, 2009;

  (c) The Debtors' motion determining and estimating amount of
      Administrative Expense Claim of Spansion Japan relating to
      manufacture of Integrated Flash Memory Circuits was set
      for hearing on December 2, 2009.

In addition, the commencement of the confirmation hearing was
scheduled for January 7, 2010, and the objection deadline to the
confirmation of the plan was set for January 4, 2010.  According
to Mr. Taylor, by January 4, 2010, it was expected that the
parties would have either reached a global resolution or not, and
accordingly, Spansion Japan would have had a full understanding
of the impact that election would have had on its business going
forward.  At this stage, however, Mr. Taylor notes, none of these
issues have been adjudicated and the parties' continuing
relationship has yet to be determined.  As a result of the
current posture of the Debtors' cases, Spansion Japan avers that
extending the date by which it must make its election under
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code is warranted.

"A modest extension of the election deadline in this case will
not prejudice the Debtors or their estates in any way, and
comports with Spansion Japan's understanding at the time it
agreed to the January 4, 2010 date that, prior to making its
election, it would have a better understanding of where Spansion
Japan stood with regard to the Debtors and their businesses going
forward," Mr. Taylor says.  "Moreover, forcing a premature
election in this case is inconsistent with the statutory purpose
of preserving licensees' rights and would simply multiply
litigation among the parties and further burden this Court," he
adds.

SUPERMEDIA INC: Moody's Assigns Corporate Family Rating at 'B3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 Corporate Family Rating
and Caa1 Probability-of-Default Rating to SuperMedia Inc.
Additionally, Moody's assigned a B3 rating to SuperMedia's
$2.75 billion secured term loan facility due December 2015 and a
SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating.  SuperMedia's term loan
facility was entered into on December 31, 2009 to fund the
company's reorganization plan (which eliminated approximately
$6.5 billion of prepetition debt) and provide for $150 million of
cash upon emergence.  The outlook is stable.

The company's B3 CFR reflects the secular and cyclical pressures
impacting traditional directory publishing and a large interest
expense burden stemming from the company's emergence from
bankruptcy.  Over the intermediate term, Moody's anticipates weak
economic conditions, fragmentation of advertising spending across
various platforms and the competitive industry in which SuperMedia
operates will adversely impact SuperMedia's operating performance
resulting in significant margin erosion, increasing leverage (to
exceed 6x by fiscal 2012) and declining free cash flow generation
as interest expense remains high.  The one notch differential
between SuperMedia's CFR and PDR reflects Moody's view of an above
average family recovery rate and elevated default risks based on
declining EBITDA and high leverage.

The company's rating is supported by its position as the second
largest yellow pages publisher in the U.S. and the geographic
diversification of its operations.  In addition, benefits
associated with the Verizon brand (SuperMedia is the exclusive
official publisher of Verizon directories in markets in which
Verizon is the incumbent local exchange carrier) also support the
business.

The company's SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating is based on
Moody's expectation that SuperMedia will generate more than
$150 million of free cash flow over the next twelve months and has
no mandatory debt amortizations (there is a cash sweep of 67.5%).

Moody's anticipates that the company will be able to maintain a
cushion of more than 20% under its two financial maintenance
covenants (consolidated leverage ratio and interest coverage
ratio).

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
SuperMedia will maintain a cash balance of more than $150 million
given the absence of a revolving credit facility.

Moody's subscribers can find further details in the SuperMedia
Credit Opinion published on Moodys.com.

Ratings / assessments assigned:

SuperMedia Inc.

* Corporate family rating -- B3
* Probability-of-default rating -- Caa1
* $2.75 billion secured term loan -- B3 (LGD 3, 35%)
* Speculative grade liquidity rating -- SGL-2
* Outlook -- stable

Moody's downgraded Idearc's PDR to D on March 31, 2009, following
the company's announcement that it had filed a voluntary petition
for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Ratings were subsequently withdrawn.

SuperMedia's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors that
Moody's considers relevant to the credit profile of the issuer,
such as the company's (i) business risk and competitive position
compared with others within the industry; (iii) capital structure
and financial risk; (iii) projected performance over the near to
intermediate term; and (iv) management's track record and
tolerance for risk.  Moody's compared these attributes against

TOUSA INC: Initiates Adversary Proceedings Against 1,000 Creditors
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tousa Inc. and its units initiated adversary complaints against
1,054 creditors to avoid and recover preferential transfers of
property for the period from January 19 to 22, 2010.

On or within 90 days before the Petition Date, that is between
October 31, 2007, and January 29, 2008, or the "Preference
Period," the Debtors continued to operate their business affairs,
including the transfer of property, either by checks, cashier
checks, wire transfers or to certain entities, including the
Creditors, Kristopher Aungst, Esq., at Berger Singerman, P.A., in
Miami, Florida, tells the Court.   The Debtors allege that they
transferred their property to the Creditors during the Preference
Period.

Mr. Aungst asserts that the each of the Creditors is a "creditor"
of the Debtors within the meaning of the term under Section
101(10)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code at the time of the Transfers.
He avers that the Creditors had a right to payment on account of
the obligations owed to the Creditors by the Debtors at the time
of the Transfers.

Mr. Aungst further asserts that the Transfers were to or for the
benefit of a creditor under Section 547(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy
Code because the Transfers either reduced or fully satisfied a
debt then owed by the Debtors to the Creditors.  The Transfers
thus constituted a transfer of an interest of the property of the
Debtors, he insists.

Moreover, Mr. Aungst contends that the Debtors were insolvent at
all times during the 90 days before the Petition Date or the
Preference Period.  As a result of the Transfers, he emphasizes
that the Creditors received more than they would have received
if:

  (i) the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases were under Chapter 7 of the
      Bankruptcy Code;

(ii) the Transfers had not been made; and

(iii) the Creditors received payment of their claims under the
      provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

In this light, the Transfers are avoidable pursuant to Section
547(b), Mr. Aungst asserts.  The Creditors, he adds, were the
initial transferees of the Transfers or the immediate or mediate
transferees of the initial transferees or the persons for whose
benefit the Transfers were made.

The Debtors inform the Court that they have sent a letter to each
Creditor demanding the return of the preferential payments made.

Accordingly, by virtue of the Adversary Complaints, the Debtors
ask Judge Olson to:

  (a) enter a judgment against the Creditors;

  (b) avoid the Transfers pursuant to Section 547, and to the
      extent they are avoided, grant recovery of those transfers
      pursuant to Section 550 of the Bankruptcy Code;

  (c) award prejudgment interest at the maximum legal rate
      running from the date of each Transfer to the date of
      judgment in the Adversary Cases; and

  (d) order that, in accordance with Section 502(d) and (j) of
      the Bankruptcy Code, any claims held by the Creditors or
      their assignees be disallowed.

Pursuant to the Court-sanctioned Adversary Proceedings Protocol
Order, the Adversary Complaints initiated by the Debtors are
classified under Adversary Proceeding Tracks I, II, III and IV
depending on the amounts to be recovered.

Out of the 1,054 total number of Creditors, the Debtors commenced
adversary proceedings against 321 Creditors, classified under
Adversary Proceeding Track I.  Amounts to be recovered by the
Debtors under the Adversary Proceeding Track I ranged from

TRONOX INC: Gets Final Nod for $425-Mil. Replacement Financing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Allan L. Gropper of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York issued an order on a final basis
authorizing Tronox Worldwide LLC, as borrower, to obtain, and
Tronox Incorporated and certain subsidiaries of the Borrower to
guarantee, jointly and severally, the Borrower's obligations in
respect of, senior secured postpetition financing, which consists
of (i) a $335.0 million single-draw tranche and (ii) a $90.0
million single-draw tranche.

Judge Gropper authorizes each Debtor to grant liens and super-
priority administrative claims to Goldman Sachs Lending Partners
LLC, as DIP Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and
the other DIP Secured Parties, in all DIP Collateral in accordance
with the Collateral Documents and the Final Order to secure any of
the DIP Obligations.  The DIP Administrative Agent Liens will be
senior to the Primed Liens but will be junior to any valid,
enforceable and non-avoidable Liens.

Judge Gropper also authorizes the repayment in full in cash of the
outstanding indebtedness and other obligations under the
Prepetition Credit Facility and the Existing DIP Credit Facility,
and the extinguishing of any liens and obligations arising under
the Prepetition Credit Facility and the Existing DIP Credit
Facility.

The proceeds of the DIP Facility and DIP Collateral will be used
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DIP Loan
Documents and the Final Order solely for (i) payment in cash and
cash collateralization, as applicable, of all of the Existing DIP
Obligations and the Prepetition Obligations under the respective
Existing Credit Facilities; (ii) working capital; (iii) other
general corporate purposes of the Debtors; (iv) payment of any
related transaction costs, fees and expenses; and (v) the costs of
administration of the Cases.

The Debtors will not be permitted to make any payments on account
of any prepetition debt or obligation prior to the effective date
of the Plan or any other Chapter 11 plan or plans with respect to
any of the Debtors, except with respect to the Prepetition
Obligations as set forth in the Final Order or as otherwise
provided in the DIP Credit Agreement, any other order of the Court
entered prior to the filing of the DIP Motion or any other order
of the Court consented to by the DIP Administrative Agent.

The Debtors will hold in escrow $5,000,000 in the aggregate in
respect of the repayment of the Prepetition Term Loan Facility
pending approval by the Court of the proposed settlement of the
civil action captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
of Tronox Incorporated et al., on behalf of the Estates of Tronox
Incorporated et al. v. Credit Suisse et al. (Case No. 09-01388).

             Anadarko & Kerr-McGee Reserve Rights

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Kerr-McGee Corporation, prior
to the entry of the Final DIP Order, filed a statement reserving
all of their rights and objections with regard to any prospective
plan of reorganization, disclosure statement, or settlement
motions pursuant to Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure, which filings may be based on the documents attached to
the DIP Replacement Motion to the extent they violate the
Bankruptcy Code, any other applicable law, or the rights of the
Anadarko Defendants in the Anadarko Litigation, or are otherwise
objectionable.

While the Anadarko Defendants will assert their objections once
the required disclosure statement, plan of reorganization, and
Bankruptcy Rule 9019 settlement motions are filed, they
specifically reserve their rights with respect to any pre-
confirmation hearing approval of any plan term or the Plan
Agreements.

In particular, based on present version of the Plan Agreements,
the Anadarko Defendants objected to the extent that any plan:

  (a) does not provide the same treatment for unsecured
      creditors in the same class under Section 1123(a)(4) of
      the Bankruptcy Code;

  (b) transfers control of the Anadarko Litigation to specific
      claimants as opposed to a trust for the benefit of
      creditors of Debtors' estates;

  (c) discriminates unfairly between classes of creditors in
      violation of Section 1129(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the Bankruptcy
      Code, including but not limited to, the provisions of the
      Term Sheet specifying that "50% of all" allowed non-
      governmental CERCLA Claims will be lumped with certain
      other tort claims, and will share in any recoveries from
      the Anadarko Litigation Trust while "50% of all" allowed
      non-governmental CERCLA Claims will be grouped with the
      remaining General Unsecured Creditors, and will share in
      30% of the equity of Reorganized Tronox;

  (d) impermissibly cuts off or otherwise impairs the Anadarko
      Defendants' indemnification, contribution, or
      reimbursement rights, but not limited to

      * in connection with the Anadarko Litigation;

      * in connection with the securities class action pending
        in the United States District Court for the Southern
        District of New York (In re Tronox Inc. Securities
        Litigation, 09 Civ. 6220 (SAS));

      * potential contribution rights for "non-governmental
        CERCLA Claims" that, in the aggregate, exceed $200
        million with respect to as yet undefined "Owned Sites";

      * potential contribution rights for remediation to the
        extent the Debtors' current "environmental monitoring
        and response work with respect to the Owned Sites and
        the Other Sites consistent with current postpetition
        practice" is inadequate;

  (e) improperly releases and indemnifies third party non-
      debtors, including former officers, directors, employees,
      professionals, accountants;

  (f) indemnifies "certain parties" who are unidentified in the
      Plan Agreements whose release and indemnity would be
      "conditioned upon cooperation with the Litigation
      Trustee."  Reorganized Tronox appears to be assuming a new
      obligation.  The Court and the Anadarko Defendants are
      entitled to know who these "certain parties" are, and the
      value and nature of their "cooperation" to ensure that
      none of these arrangements are impermissible or otherwise
      violate public policy or other law;

  (g) imposes vague and undefined obligations upon litigation
      parties that may unfairly prejudice the Anadarko
      Defendants and improperly influence or impact the Anadarko
      Litigation, including

      * the requirement in the Term Sheet that: "the United
        States [will] negotiate with certain representatives of
        the holders of Tort Claims in good faith to find
        additional value from the Anadarko Litigation, a
        meaningful portion of which will inure to the benefit of
        the holders of Tort Claims";

      * the provision in the Term Sheet that: "[r]epresentatives
        of the United States, certain other Governmental
        Environmental Entities, and certain representatives of
        the holders of Tort Claims, will have certain agreed
        rights concerning the pursuit of the Anadarko
        Litigation"; and

  (h) deprives the Anadarko Defendants of their rights and
      protections under Sections 362, 363, 365, 554, 1121(c),
      1122(a), 1123, 1129 and other provisions of the Bankruptcy
      Code.

      D. Dunne's Declaration Supporting Final DIP Order

Dennis F. Dunne, Esq., a member at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy
LLP, in New York, filed a declaration in support of the Final
Order.

Milbank represents the "Backstop Parties" that hold or manage
accounts that hold 9.5% senior unsecured notes due December 2012
issued by Tronox Worldwide LLC and Tronox Finance Corp. and that
are parties to an equity commitment agreement and have agreed, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the ECA, to
purchase all shares of New Tronox common stock not otherwise
purchased by eligible holders.

According to Mr. Dunne, the provision for the payment of certain
transaction expenses, including Milbank's fees and expenses, is an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by the ECA.  He
says failure to obtain Court approval of those fees and expenses
by January 15, 2010 is a termination event under Section 12(b) of
the ECA and the termination of the ECA constitutes an Event of
Default under Section 8.1(n) of the Replacement DIP Facility.

Mr. Dunne tells the Court that his firm has not yet received any
payments from the Debtors of fees and expenses totaling more than
$900,000.

                T. O'Connor Files Declaration

Timothy O'Connor, managing director of Broadpoint Capital, Inc.,
disclosed that Broadpoint, as financial advisor to Milbank in its
capacity as counsel to the Backstop Parties, has incurred expenses
totaling approximately $35,000.

According to Mr. O'Connor, pursuant to its Engagement Letter with
Milbank, the ECA and the proposed final order approving the DIP
Replacement Motion, Broadpoint and each of the Broadpoint Parties
will be deemed to be an Indemnified Person pursuant to the
indemnification provisions set forth in the ECA, and the Debtors
will be deemed to indemnify Broadpoint and each of the Broadpoint
Parties as Indemnified Persons pursuant to the ECA, provided that
the indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply
to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent
that they are finally judicially determined to have resulted from
the bad faith, self dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person.

                       Cash Collateral

Pursuant to the Final DIP Replacement Order, the Court has
authorized the Debtors to use "cash collateral," as the term is
defined in Section 363, including Cash Collateral in which certain
DIP Secured Parties have a Lien or other interest, in each case
whether existing on the Petition Date, arising pursuant to the
Final Order or otherwise.

TRONOX INC: LaGrange Entities Want to File Late Class Claim
-----------------------------------------------------------
LaGrange Capital Partners, LP, and LaGrange Capital Partners
Offshore Fund, Ltd., lead plaintiffs in the securities class
action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, ask for leave of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York to file a proof of claim on
behalf of the Putative Class after the expiration of the
August 12, 2009 Bar Date.

Pursuant to the dictates of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code,
Tronox Incorporated is not named as a defendant in the Class
Action Complaint.  However, the causes of action alleged in the
Class Action Complaint form the basis of Lead Plaintiffs' class
claim against Tronox, Michael S. Etkin, Esq., at Lowenstein
Sandler PC, in New York, tells the Court.

Because the Lead Plaintiffs were not appointed until October 13,
2009, and did not file the consolidated Class Action Complaint
until November 24, 2009, they were not authorized to file a proof
of claim on behalf of the Putative Class in order to preserve the
rights of the Putative Class against the Debtors prior to
October 13, 2009.

Michael S. Etkin, Esq., at Lowenstein Sandler PC, in New York, New
York, notes that Rule 3003(c)(3) of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure provides that the Bankruptcy Court may extend
the time for filing a proof of claim in a Chapter 11 case for
cause.  Moreover, Rule 9006(b)(1) provides that the Court may
enlarge the time within which an act must be done for cause, where
the "failure to act was the result of excusable neglect."

According to Mr. Etkin, deeming the Proof of Claim timely filed
will not open the floodgates for other creditors.  These facts
here are unique and the relief requested is minor. All that is
being sought is for the Court to extend the deemed timely filing
date for one proof of claim, Mr. Etkin avers.

Mr. Etkin adds that the minimal delay will not of filing the Proof
of Claim, in any way, disrupt the judicial administration of the
Chapter 11 case.

The Lead Plaintiffs informed the Court that the hearing to
consider the Motion which was previously scheduled for January 28,
2010, has been adjourned to February 23, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
(Eastern Time).  Any objections to the Motion should be filed no
later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on February 16, 2010.

TRONOX INC: U.S. Government Ordered to Release Documents
--------------------------------------------------------
In May 2009, Tronox Incorporated filed an adversary complaint
against Kerr-McGee Corporation and its successor, Anadarko
Petroleum Corporation, in its Chapter 11 cases in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
The complaint asserts that Kerr-McGee defrauded Tronox's creditors
through its separation and spin-off of its former chemical
subsidiary in 2006.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Kerr-McGee Corporation made
discovery requests pursuant to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure, the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, and the Local
Civil Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern
and Eastern Districts of New York, and Plaintiff-Intervenor United
States of America having objected on the ground that the
Government is prohibited from producing certain materials to the
Andarko Defendants by the Privacy Act of 1974.

The Bankruptcy Court finds that the disclosure of the materials is
in the interests of justice and is subject to the Agreed
Protective Order entered by the Court on March 16, 2009.

Accordingly, the Court orders that to the extent that the
Government objects to any information or material sought by the
Anadarko Defendants or any other party during the course of the
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases or any adversary proceeding thereunder
on the ground that the production is prohibited by the Privacy Act
of 1974, the Government's objection is overruled and the
Government will produce the requested documents and other
information or material.

                      Parties Stipulate

In connection with the adversary proceeding and any related
adversary proceedings or lawsuits, the Parties agree to limit the
scope of discovery with respect to any testifying experts retained
by any Party to the Litigation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Rule 7026 of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Rule 26 of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure, or any other law, case, rule, or
regulation, the Parties agree that, subject to certain
limitations, these categories of documents or information will not
be subject to disclosure, discovery, or production:

  (a) drafts or non-final versions of a Testifying Expert's
      expert report in the Litigation and notes, comments,
      communications, and edits concerning same;

  (b) drafts or non-final versions of summaries, charts,
      illustrative documents, exhibits, declarations,
      affidavits, models, computer programs, calculations,
      computations, data runs, or other documents or materials
      prepared by a Testifying Expert or persons working under
      the Testifying Expert's supervision, or at the Testifying
      Expert's firm, in connection with or related to the
      Testifying Expert's expert report or the opinions to which
      he/she will testify in the Litigation; and

  (c) written or oral communications between (i) the Testifying
      Expert, or persons working under the Testifying Expert's
      supervision, in connection with or related to the
      Testifying Expert's expert report or opinions to which
      he/she will testify in the Litigation and (ii) any Party,
      any Party's in-house or outside counsel, any persons
      working under the Testifying Expert's supervision or any
      Party's Testifying Experts to the extent the
      communications relate to the Testifying Expert's expert
      report or opinions to which he/she will testify in the
      Litigation, except to the extent that the Testifying
      Expert references or relies upon communications in
      formulating his/her report or the opinions to which he/she
      will testify.

The Parties agree that the Excluded Information will not be the
topic of any discovery requests or deposition or trial questions
and that the Parties will not inquire through discovery requests,
or at deposition or trial, as to the Excluded Information, except
to the extent the Testifying Expert references or relies upon such
information in formulating his/her opinions or report.

Nothing in the Stipulation will limit, restrict, impair, or waive
any Party's ability to seek or obtain any fact discovery from any
Testifying Expert who, in addition to serving as a Testifying
Expert, has also served in some other capacity as to which he/she
would, but for the Stipulation, be subject to discovery as a fact
witness with respect to any claims, defenses, or issues in the
Litigation; provided that, the Stipulation will apply to discovery
from the Testifying Expert in his/her capacity as a Testifying
Expert.

The Parties agree that to the extent there exist any
inconsistencies between the Stipulation and the terms of the
Agreed Protective Order entered on March 16, 2009, the terms of
the Stipulation will govern.

Accordingly, the Parties ask the Court to approve the Stipulation.

TROPICANA ENT: LandCo Debtors Want O'Neill to Follow Plan Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
The LandCo Debtors, a group of entities which own Tropicana casino
property in Las Vegas, ask the Court to:

  (i) enforce the provisions of Sections 105, 524, and 1141 of
      the Bankruptcy Code, and the provisions of the LandCo
      Debtors' First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
      against Robert O'Neill and his counsel, Emily McFarling
      Benson;

(ii) compel Mr. O'Neill to dismiss, with prejudice, the action
      he initiated against Tropicana Las Vegas on September 10,
      2009, with the Eighth Judicial District Court, in Clark
      County, Nevada;

(iii) hold Mr. O'Neill and Ms. Benson in contempt of the
      Court's May 5, 2009 confirmation order of the Chapter 11
      Plan of the LandCo Debtors; and

(iv) order Mr. O'Neill and Ms. Benson to pay the Liquidating
      LandCo Debtors' reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
      incurred in connection with the Injunction motion and the
      Las Vegas Action.

The LandCo Plan was confirmed by the Court on May 5, 2009, and
was declared effective on July 1, 2009.

Mr. O'Neill filed the Las Vegas Action, seeking damages against
Tropicana Las Vegas related to an incident that allegedly
occurred at the Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on Sept. 16,
2007.

After receiving copy of the Complaint, counsel to the Liquidating
LandCo Debtors sent Mr. O'Neill's counsel on September 18, 2009,
a letter informing it of the bankruptcy cases and the fact that,
pursuant to the LandCo Plan, the causes of action alleged in the
Complaint were satisfied, discharged and released as of July 1,
2009, M. Blake Cleary, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor,
LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, relates.

The September 18 Letter also informed Ms. Benson that the LandCo
Plan and Confirmation Order included a permanent injunction
prohibiting the commencement, continuation, or enforcement of the
causes of action alleged in the Complaint.  The September 18
Letter advised Ms. Benson that the filing of the Complaint
constituted a violation of the discharge and injunction
provisions of the LandCo Plan and Confirmation Order, and
requested that the Tropicana entities be dismissed from the Las
Vegas Action immediately, according to Mr. Cleary.

On September 29, 2009, Ms. Benson called counsel to the
Liquidating LandCo Debtors, Joshua D. Morse, and stated that Mr.
O'Neill's co-counsel in Boston was handling the bankruptcy
aspects of the Las Vegas Action and that she was awaiting that
counsel's analysis of the issues raised in the September 18,
Letter before taking any further action.  Ms. Benson also stated
that the Complaint had not yet been served and therefore, no
current deadline existed by which "Tropicana Las Vegas" was
required to respond.

On January 4, 2010, Ms. Benson's colleague, Carrie Brigham,
called Mr. Morse, asking whether Mr. Morse would agree to accept
service of the Complaint on behalf of Tropicana Las Vegas.  Mr.
Morse again explained that prosecution of the Complaint was in
violation of the discharge and injunction provisions of the
LandCo Plan and Confirmation Order.  He further reiterated the
request to have Tropicana be dismissed immediately from the Las
Vegas Action, Mr. Cleary informs the Court.

Mr. Morse sent Ms. Benson an e-mail on January 4, 2010,
requesting a discussion regarding the results of the analysis of
bankruptcy issues initially raised in the September 18 Letter.
Mr. O'Neill's co-counsel, Andrew E. Goloboy, responded to the e-
mail, requesting Mr. Morse to contact Ron Dunbar "tomorrow to
discuss."

However, despite attempts on January 5 and 8, 2010, to contact
Mr. Dunbar, a discussion never occurred.

On information and belief, Ms. Benson caused "Tropicana Las
Vegas," via its agent for service of process, to be served with
the Complaint and related summons on January 7, 2010.  The next
day, the Liquidating LandCo Debtors received a copy of the
Complaint and Summons.

In a final attempt to resolve the matter consensually, Mr. Cleary
noted that Mr. Morse sent Ms. Benson a letter on September 8,
2009, warning that "service of the Complaint constitutes another
violation of the discharge and injunction provisions of the
[LandCo] Plan and Confirmation Order," and again requested that
Mr. O'Neill "immediately dismiss all Tropicana entities from the
action."  The January 8 Letter included a deadline of January 12,
2010, by which Mr. O'Neill was to confirm the dismissal.

As of January 15, 2010, no further communication has been
received from Mr. O'Neill or Ms. Benson.

As a result of Mr. O'Neill and Ms. Benson's knowing violations of
the discharge and injunction provisions of the LandCo Plan and
Confirmation Order, and despite the Liquidating LandCo Debtors'
multiple efforts to avoid costs by requesting Mr. O'Neill to
voluntarily withdraw the Complaint, the Liquidating LandCo
Debtors have incurred, and will continue to incur, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs in preparing and prosecuting the
Injunction Motion and responding to the Complaint in the Nevada
state court, Mr. Cleary contends.

TROPICANA ENT: NJ Debtors Reject Simulcast Agreements
-----------------------------------------------------
The New Jersey Debtors, namely Adamar of New Jersey, Inc., and its
affiliate, Manchester Mall, Inc., obtained the Court's authority
to reject certain simulcast agreements, pursuant to Section 365(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the date of the New Jersey
Casino Control Commission's order approving the closure of their
simulcasting facility.

Proofs of claim, if any, arising from the rejection of the
Simulcast Agreements should be filed on or before February 21,
2010, with Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC, the New Jersey
Debtors' claims agent.  After that date, parties to the
agreements are forever barred from asserting claims against the
New Jersey Debtors and their estates.

In connection with their business operations, the New Jersey
Debtors are parties to these Simulcast Agreements, which permit
them to hold televised simulcasts of horse races and to conduct
off-track wagering at their casino simulcasting facility:

  (a) 29 casino simulcasting sending track agreements -- the
      "Sending Agreements;"

  (b) A certain simulcasting agreement dated April 1, 2007,
      between Adamar of New Jersey, Inc. and TrackNet Media
      Group, LLC, as amended -- the "TrackNet Agreement;" and

  (c) A certain HUB modification agreement between Adamar and
      Scientific Games Racing, LLC dated July 15, 2004,
      inclusive of all predecessor agreements and amendments.

The TrackNet Agreement and the HUB Agreement were among the
Contracts to be assumed and assigned to a buyer of the Debtors'
assets in relation to a Court-approved sale of substantially of
all of the Debtors' assets.

As to the Simulcasting Agreement, Ilana Volkov, Esq., at Cole,
Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., in Hackensack, New
Jersey, relates that it has operated at a loss since the entry of
the June 2009 Original Sale Order.  Accordingly, as part of a
continuous review of their operations, the New Jersey Debtors
have determined that the Simulcasting Facility is no longer
necessary to their business and thus, seek Court permission to
reject the Simulcast Agreements as part of their closure of the
Simulcasting Facility.

The New Jersey Debtors require approval from the NJ Commission
before they can close the Simulcast Facility.

Rejecting the Simulcast Agreements as part of the closure of
their Simulcasting Facility will enable the New Jersey Debtors to
realize savings immediately because they will not be required to
fund losses caused by that part of their business operations,
according to Ms. Volkov.

UTSTARCOM INC: Names Sanmina-SCI as New Outsourced Provider
-----------------------------------------------------------
UTStarcom Inc. has selected San Jose-based Sanmina-SCI Corporation
as its new outsourced electronics manufacturing service provider,
a move that aligns with UTStarcom's announced restructuring
initiatives and expands the company's cost savings efforts.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sanmina-SCI will provide full
electronics manufacturing services for UTStarcom's system products
currently being built in UTStarcom's Hangzhou facility. T hese
services include new product introduction (NPI) support, material
sourcing and procurement, printed circuit board assembly, system
integration and testing, final pack-out and delivery.  Increasing
UTStarcom's ability to manage demand swings, the flexible cost
structure of this outsourcing agreement matches UTStarcom's volume
of orders and allows for a faster cash flow cycle and lower
working capital usage.

"As we referenced in our June and November 2009 public conference
calls, UTStarcom is taking steps to change its operational
approach," said Zheng Min, UTStarcom's vice president of global
supply chain.  "This new relationship with Sanmina-SCI will allow
UTStarcom to continue delivering quality products while taking
advantage of improved manufacturing efficiencies."

Outsourcing UTStarcom's manufacturing capabilities not only
improves the company's asset utilization, but it broadens the
supply chain for increased velocity and coverage.


"We are very pleased that UTStarcom has selected Sanmina-SCI as
their electronics manufacturing services provider.  We look
forward to utilizing our vertically integrated suite of services
including NPI, material procurement, manufacturing, system
integration, and direct order fulfillment to bring value to our
relationship.  This strategic relationship allows us to grow in
the networking market in the East China region," said PK Chan,
executive vice president of Sanmina-SCI Greater China Operations.

                      Going Concern Doubt

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $1.004 billion in total assets, $707.0 million in total
liabilities, and $297 million in total stockholders' equity.

The Company incurred net losses of $150.3 million, $195.6 million
and $117.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007,
and 2006, respectively.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of
$186.3 million.  The Company recorded operating losses in 18 of
the 19 consecutive quarters in the period ended September 30,
2009.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $1.03 billion.  The Company incurred net cash outflows
from operations of $55.2 million and $225.1 million in 2008 and
2007 respectively.  Cash used in operations was $89.2 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Company
said it expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash
flows from operations over at least the remainder of 2009.

The Company's only committed source for borrowings is a credit
facility in China.  During the third quarter of 2009, a
$263.5 million credit facility expired and was not renewed.  The
remaining approximately $58.6 million credit facility expires in
the fourth quarter of 2009.

While improvements in operating results, cash flows and liquidity
are anticipated as management's initiatives to control and reduce
costs while maintaining and growing its revenue base are fully
implemented, the Company believes its recurring losses and
expected negative cash flows from operations raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The

VERINT SYSTEMS: S&P Puts 'B' Rating on CreditWatch Developing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said it placed its ratings on
Melville, New York-based Verint Systems Inc., including the 'B'
corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with developing
implications, which indicates that S&P could raise or lower the
ratings.

These actions follow the company's recent announcement that it
will be unable to file audited financial statements covering the
fiscal years ended January 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, as well as
quarterly interim statements for 2009, by Jan. 29, 2010.  As a
result of its failure to be current in its financial filing
requirements by Jan. 29, 2010, Verint could be subject to
administrative proceedings by the SEC, including the possible
revocation of its registration statement.  Additionally, as part
of the financial reporting requirements contained in Verint's
senior secured credit facility, the company is required to provide
lenders with audited financial statements by April 30, 2010.
Failure to provide audited statements would constitute an event of
default under the credit facility, although there is a one-month
grace period.

Despite its non-filing status, Verint has provided Standard &
Poor's with sufficient operating and financial data to maintain
the rating.  While Verint currently remains unable to file audited
financial statements, it has substantially completed its 10K for
fiscal 2006, 2007, and 2008, but is unable to file because of
unexpected changes in financial reporting at majority shareholder
Comverse Technology Inc., which is also delinquent with its
required SEC financial filings.

"In resolving the CreditWatch, S&P will monitor Verint's progress
in meeting the financial reporting requirements contained in its
senior secured credit facility," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Susan Madison.  As S&P get closer to the April 30, 2010
date by which audited financial statements for fiscal years 2006
through 2009 are required, S&P could lower the rating as an
interim measure and maintain the developing CreditWatch if Verint
has not achieved sufficient progress in providing the required
financial statements.  S&P could also lower the rating if the SEC
instituted severe penalties for failure to maintain current
financial filings.  On the other hand, if Verint is able to
provide audited financial statements to meet both its SEC and
credit facility filing requirements in the very near term, S&P's
assessment of Verint's business and financial risk profiles could
result in a rating upgrade.

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Delaware Court Denies Bid to Issue Subpoena
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports Judge Mary Walrath of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware last week denied
Washington Mutual Inc.'s request to compel government regulators
and others to hand over documents and to permit examination of
witnesses related to the 2008 collapse of Washington Mutual Bank.

AP notes some parties, including the Federal Reserve and Treasury
Department, agreed to provide at least some records, but the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. objected to WaMu's request.

The FDIC seized Washington Mutual bank in September 2008.  It then
sold it to JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $1.9 billion, a price that
Washington Mutual argues was much too low.

According to AP, Washington Mutual sought the records as part of
an effort to investigate potential business tort claims based on
alleged misconduct by JPMorgan.  Washington Mutual stakeholders
allege in a Texas lawsuit that JPMorgan engineered a plan to
damage Washington Mutual's banking subsidiaries so it could buy
them on the cheap.

AP relates Washington Mutual and JPMorgan now are battling over
billions of dollars in disputed deposit assets, with both of them
claiming ownership.  A separate lawsuit filed by Washington Mutual
against the FDIC is on hold in federal court in Washington, D.C.

The Troubled Company Reporter has run stories on these lawsuits in
prior issues.

AP notes that in 2009, Judge Walrath allowed WaMu to examine
records of JPMorgan.  On Thursday, AP relates, Judge Walrath said
WaMu had not met its burden of showing that subpoenas for third-
party records and witnesses were warranted.  "Quite frankly, I
think issuing subpoenas against dozens of third parties just goes
too far," Judge Walrath said, according to AP.

Judge Walrath, according to AP, also said WaMu was trying "an end
run" around discovery rules to get documents from the FDIC that
might bolster its claims in the Washington, D.C. lawsuit.  That
lawsuit argues among other things that if WaMu's assets had been
liquidated properly by the FDIC in receivership, they would have
been worth more than $1.9 billion.

                      About Washington Mutual

Based in Seattle, Washington, Washington Mutual Inc. --

Washington Mutual Bank was taken over September 25 by U.S.
government regulators.  The next day, WaMu and its affiliate, WMI
Investment Corp., filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. D. Del. 08-12229 and 08-12228, respectively).  Wamu owns
100% of the equity in WMI Investment.  Weil Gotshal & Manges

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Court Rejects Bid to Disband Equity Committee
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that Judge Mary Walrath of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware denied Washington
Mutual's request to dissolve the official committee of equity
security holders.

According to AP, Judge Walrath said there was no evidence to
suggest that the U.S. Trustee abused her discretion or acted
improperly in appointing the equity committee.  According to AP,
Judge Walrath also said the fact that WaMu's debt and equity is
still being traded suggests that the market does not believe WaMu
is "hopelessly insolvent."

"I think that at this point, it is appropriate to have the equity
represented in this case," Judge Walrath said, according to AP.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on January 14, 2010,
WaMu asked the Court to disband the Equity Committee, or in the
alternative, limit the fees and expenses which may be incurred by
the Equity Committee.

Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards, Layton & Finger, PA, in
Wilmington, Delaware, told the Court that for over a year now, the
Debtors have been providing the U.S. Trustee with information
regarding their assets and liabilities; litigation between the
Debtors and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; and litigation between
JPMorgan and certain third parties who have been asserting
derivative claims on behalf of the Debtors' estates and litigation
between the Debtors and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Likewise, Mr. Collins notes, in accordance with applicable rules,
the Debtors have filed and provided to the U.S. Trustee monthly
operating reports evidencing estimates on their assets and
liabilities.

Based on those reports, the Debtors said they were baffled as to
why the U.S. Trustee, at this late date, would choose to saddle
their estates with another committee and presumably, professionals
that will needlessly incur significant fees and expenses.

Mr. Collins said the Debtors are insolvent by all measures, as
supported by all known facts and submissions to date in their
Chapter 11 cases.  Among others, the Debtors' junior subordinated
debentures trading, as of January 8, 2010, at approximately 50
cents on the dollar -- a steep discount to par value, Mr. Collins
pointed out.  WaMu's common stock also trades at approximately 19
cents per share, indicating the market's assessment that equity
will not receive any distribution.  In short, Mr. Collins said,
the Debtors' equity holders are unlikely to receive any recovery
and therefore, have little, if any, economic interest in these
bankruptcy cases.

* Consolidation Among Private Equity Firms Seen, According to Poll
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Fairless at Dow Jones Newswires reports that more than four
fifths of managers working in private equity firms expect a wave
of closures or mergers within the industry because the poor
fundraising environment will last longer than previously expected.

According to Dow Jones, a survey of senior buyout practitioners,
conducted by Private Equity News, found that difficulty in raising
funds, coupled with fears about the health of the economy and
increased regulation, would continue to haunt the sector, with
larger buyouts in particular likely to face a challenging year.
Only one quarter of those who took part in the survey said they
expected the average cost of debt financing to be lower this year,
compared with 2009.

Dow Jones says the outlook was significantly brighter for mid-
market firms than for larger ones.  Dow Jones says three quarters
of respondents said they expected to do more mid-market buyouts
this year as financing terms improved.  Dow Jones says exits, led
by initial public offerings, are also likely to become more
attractive following a surge in public markets since March last
year.  Dow Jones says by contrast, just 29% of respondents
expected to be more active in deals valued more than EUR1 billion
($1.39 billion).

Dow Jones says of the 500 people and firms surveyed, three
quarters of those who expected consolidation said it would come
from firms closing because they would be unable to raise funds,
while a quarter expected consolidation through mergers or
acquisitions.

Dow Jones notes that David Rubenstein, managing partner of Carlyle
Group, one of the biggest global firms, last week said firms'
ability to carry out mega deals was unlikely to return.
"Investments will probably be smaller, at around $3 billion to $5
billion, not $20 billion, and minority stakes will be more
popular.  The equity component is likely to be larger, at around
45%."

* Warren Buffet Taps Easton Lynd to Manage Distressed Properties
----------------------------------------------------------------
Easton Lynd Management has been tapped by Berkadia Commercial
Mortgage LLC to manage a portion of its distressed property
portfolio throughout the United States.  Berkadia, based out of
Horsham, Pennsylvania, is a top-rated, special servicer of
commercial real estate loans owned jointly by Warren Buffet's
holding company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and Leucadia National
Corp.  Berkadia has a portfolio of $240 million, making it the
third largest servicer in the United States.  Easton Lynd has more
than 30 years managing commercial properties with 9.7 million
square feet currently under assignment nationwide.

Easton Lynd's first assignment with Berkadia is a 44,000 square
foot stand-alone retail building in Clearwater, Florida, that the
loan servicer took back in January 2010.  Circuit City had
occupied the space prior to its filing bankruptcy and going out of
business.

Zac Gruber, regional vice president in charge of Easton Lynd, said
a property manager plays a vital role for a loan servicer when it
comes to maximizing a property's value.

"Timing is very important in distressed situations," said Gruber.
"As a manager, you have to act quickly and be able to identify any
issues that are causing the property to lose money.  You then have
to analyze, prioritize and execute what needs to be done to turn
the asset around.  It takes a well-trained staff to make this
happen."

Gruber continued, "We manage properties like they are our own.
Our operations and executive teams come from all areas of
commercial real estate, so we are intimately aware of the
pressures of real estate investment.  We have the clients' best
interest in mind 100% of the time."

Gruber said one area in which Easton Lynd brings value is its
ability to bring expertise and flexibility to the table when
decisions are being made on how to eventually dispose of
distressed real estate.

"We provide important feedback that helps steer lenders and
servicers in making the right business decision," said Gruber.

Another feature that gives Easton Lynd a distinct competitive edge
is its technology platform.  The company developed a web-based
portal called Easton Lynd Ultranet, which allows owners to view
reports, property files, leases, financial statements, insurance
binders and results whenever they need access to that information.

"Berkadia ultimately chose us due to our real time technology and
transparent reporting," said David Lynd, chief operating officer
of The Lynd Company.  "In times like these, no one wants
surprises.  We look forward to continuing our third party
management presence in the commercial space in the coming year."

Easton Lynd expects Berkadia and other commercial lenders will
have a wave of real estate takeovers to fill the pipeline in 2010.
Gruber expects commercial loan defaults to increase and believes
his company is well positioned to manage these assets.

"We've been highly successful in leveraging technology, expertise
and strong customer service to add value to real estate
investments for more than 30 years," said Gruber.  "We look
forward to doing that with Berkadia and any other entity that
needs help managing troubled real estate assets anywhere in the
country."

                        About Easton Lynd

Easton Lynd Management, a division of San Antonio, Texas-based The
Lynd Company, is one of the country's fastest growing and most
advanced commercial real estate management companies.  The firm
represents a diverse investor base from small private investors to
large institutional clients across multiple property types
including industrial, office and retail.  Its revolutionary
property reporting and tenant interaction capabilities make Easton
Lynd a preferred property management firm.

                           *********

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.
