ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Bridgewater Unit Files for Administration
-------------------------------------------------------------
AbitibiBowater said Tuesday its Bridgewater Paper Company Limited
subsidiary has filed for administration in the United Kingdom.
The BPCL Board of Directors made this decision only after all
other options to keep these U.K. operations solvent were
exhausted.

The AbitibiBowater creditor protection proceedings and the BPCL
filing for administration are separate and distinct legal
processes.  The possible outcomes of AbitibiBowater's creditor
protection filings will not necessarily reflect on the future of
BPCL in its administration filing, and vice versa.
AbitibiBowater's ongoing efforts to restructure and emerge from
its creditor protection filings continue to progress in the normal
course.

"We recognize the impact the filing has on our U.K. employees and
business partners; however, these actions were necessary and
represent the best course of action going forward," stated David
J. Paterson, AbitibiBowater President and Chief Executive Officer.

Throughout the BPCL administration filing, AbitibiBowater will
help ensure European customers continue to receive quality
products and service, free of business interruptions. "We remain
committed to building on our many decades of sales into the
international marketplace, and Europe is strategic to the
Company's current and future sales efforts," added Paterson.

Joint Administrators from Ernst & Young LLP have been appointed as
part of this filing and will manage the affairs, business and
assets of BPCL.  The Joint Administrators are exploring various
options which will determine how the BPCL filing will unfold.  All
media questions related to the administration process should be
directed to Vicky Conybeer at Ernst & Young at +44(0)20 7951 0868.
For day-to-day business inquiries, parties should continue to
communicate with their regular BPCL contacts.

AbitibiBowater is the parent company of Bridgewater Paper Company
Limited through its corporate subsidiaries.

ADVANCED MICRO: Frank Clegg Won't Stand for Re-election
-------------------------------------------------------
Frank Clegg, a member of the board of directors of Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc., will not stand for re-election to the Board at the
Company's 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

                   About Advanced Micro Devices

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Advanced Micro Devices
Inc. (NYSE: AMD) -- http://www.amd.com/-- provides innovative
processing solutions in the computing, graphics and consumer
electronics markets.

As of September 26, 2009, AMD had $8.74 billion in total assets
against total current liabilities of $2.07 billion, deferred
income taxes of $243 million, long-term debt and capital lease
obligations, less current portion of $5.27 billion, other long-
term liabilities of $645 million, noncontrolling interest of

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on October 7, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed Advanced Micro's
'CCC+' corporate credit rating and revised its outlook to positive
from negative.  The rating reflects AMD's inconsistent and weak
operating profitability, its challenged market position in
microprocessers and uncertainties with respect to ongoing disputes
with Intel Corp. (A+/Stable/A-1+).

ALLEN CAPITAL: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for March 4
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 6 will convene a meeting of creditors
in Allen Capital Partners, LLC's Chapter 11 case on March 4, 2010,
at 2:00 p.m.  The meeting will be held at Office of the U.S.
Trustee, 1100 Commerce Street, Room 976, Dallas, TX 75242.

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.

San Diego, California-based Allen Capital Partners, LLC, dba The
Allen Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
January 25, 2010 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-30562).  Mark

Company in its restructuring effort.  Lain, Faulkner & Co. is the
Debtor's financial advisor.  The Company listed $100,000,001 to
$500,000,000 in assets and $100,000,001 to $500,000,000 in
liabilities in its petition.

The Debtor's affiliate -- DLH Master Land Holding, LLC, dba The
Allen Group -- filed a separate Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition.


ALTEGRITY INC: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Rating on CreditWatch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its ratings
on Falls Church, Virginia-based Altegrity Inc., including its 'B'
corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  This means S&P could lower the ratings if S&P
believes that the company cannot comply with its financial
covenants during 2010 or if liquidity declines below S&P's
expectations.

As of Sept. 30, 2009, Altegrity had about $1.34 billion in debt
outstanding.

The CreditWatch reflects S&P's concern that the company may not be
able to comply with its financial covenants during 2010 due to
potentially weaker than expected operating performance and a
secured leverage covenant step down to 5x as of Sept. 30, 2010,
from 5.75x currently.  S&P believes weaker performance could
result from a greater-than-expected increase in the amount of
Federal Government background screening business that may be
retained in-house by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management
(OPM), increased competition from the company's primary private
competitor for OPM business, and generally low employee turnover
due to poor employment opportunities.

Standard & Poor's could lower the ratings if S&P believes the
company may not be able to comply with its maximum secured
leverage covenant in 2010 or if S&P believes liquidity, which is
currently limited to its cash balances, could become strained.
However, if S&P believes the company will be able to maintain
adequate liquidity and covenant cushion well above 10%, S&P could
affirm the ratings.


AMBAC FINANCIAL: Board Increases Executives' Base Salary for 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Ambac
Financial Group, Inc., increased the base salary for 2010 of all
of its executive officers except Messrs. Eisman, Smith and Trick.
Listed below are the 2010 base salaries of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and named executive officers for whom such

ATRIUM CORP: Gets Interim Okay to Sell Accounts Receivable
----------------------------------------------------------
Atrium Corporation, et al., sought and obtained interim approval
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to
sell accounts receivable and perform related transactions.

Certain of the Debtors, as originators, have historically obtained
liquidity from the sale of receivables.  The receivables arise
from the sale of inventory or the rendition of services by the
originators in the ordinary course of business.

Access to the A/R facility allows the Debtors to convert their
receivables to cash without waiting for such accounts to mature or
to engage in any collection efforts, providing them with a crucial
and accessible source of liquidity.  Participating in the A/R
facility decreases the Debtors' exposure to risks associated with
non-payment on account of customers on the other side of the
receivables, providing another significant benefit to the Debtors
to mandate the continuation of the A/R facility.

The Court accordingly authorized the Atrium Companies, Inc., as
servicer, and certain other Debtors, as originators, to enter into
and perform under the seventh amendment and waiver to the
securitization agreements.  The Court also permitted the Debtors
to assume the amended agreements.  The Debtors will, to the extent
approval is necessary, transfer receivables to the Atrium Funding
Corporation II, a non-Debtor, bankruptcy remote entity that is
wholly-owned by ACI, on an interim basis.

A copy of the seventh amendment and waiver to securitization
agreements is available for free at:

               http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?4fbb

The final hearing to consider entry of the final order and final
approval of the postpetition securitization facility is set for
February 22, 2010, at 9:00 a.m.

                           About Atrium

10-10150).  Richard M. Cieri, Esq.; Joshua A. Sussberg, Esq.; and

AVIS BUDGET: Amends, Restates Contract with CEO Ronald Nelson
-------------------------------------------------------------
Avis Budget Group Inc. amended and restated its agreement with
Ronald L. Nelson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The amended agreement provides a minimum base salary of $1 million
and participation in employee benefit plans generally available to
our executive officers, and provides for an annual incentive award
with a target amount equal to 150% of the Executive's base salary,
subject to attainment by the Company of performance goals to be
determined by the Company's Compensation Committee.  The amended
agreement also generally provides the Executive and his dependents
with continuation of certain health and welfare benefits until the
Executive reaches age 75, reflecting no change from the Prior
Agreement.

Also, consistent with the Prior Agreement, if the Executive's
employment with us is terminated by us without "cause" or due to a
"constructive discharge", the Executive generally will be entitled
to a lump sum payment equal to 299% of the sum of his then-current
base salary plus his then-current target annual bonus, and
accelerated vesting of certain equity awards.

The definition of "constructive discharge" has also been amended
in certain respects, including to eliminate the trigger that
provided for grounds for a "constructive discharge" merely upon
the occurrence of a "corporate transaction".

The amended agreement has a five-year term ending on January 27,
2015, with no automatic renewal or severance provisions applicable
at the end of such term.  The 280G excise tax gross-up provision
contained in the Prior Agreement has been eliminated.

Effective June 30, 2010, the Executive will also serve as our
President and Chief Operating Officer.  Beginning after June 30,
2012, either the Board of Directors of the Company or the
Executive may elect to transition the Executive to serve solely as
Chairman of the Board and appoint a new CEO.  If the Executive so
elects, a fifty percent salary and bonus reduction will be
imposed.  If the Board so elects, such salary reduction will be
made in specified increments over the remaining term, based on the
year in which such election is made.

BERNIE'S AUDIO: Court Denies Committee's Ch. 7 Conversion Motion
----------------------------------------------------------------
NetDockets reports that Judge Albert Dabrowski of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut denied a request
by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 case of Bernie's Audio Video TV Appliance Co., Inc., to
convert the Debtor's chapter 11 case to a Chapter 7 proceeding.

According to NetDockets, the Creditors' Committee argues that the
case, which is being used to complete going-out-of-business sales
at all of Bernie's stores that began before the bankruptcy filing,
should be converted to Chapter 7 because "the Debtor has failed to
demonstrate any benefit to the Debtor's general unsecured
creditors from its proposed use of cash collateral or the proposed
going-out-of-business sales."

Bernie's has an Agency Agreement with Hilco Merchant Resources,
LLC, which is conducting the going-out-of-business sales.  The
Agreement provides for Hilco to pay Bernie's 80.3% of the
aggregate cost of its merchandise, expected to be roughly
$11.4 million.  According to NetDockets, that amount is less than
Bernie's secured debt of $12.7 million.

The Committee first sought Chapter 7 conversion via an objection
to Bernie's motion to use lenders' cash collateral and motion to
conduct going-out-of-business sales.  The Court required the
Committee to file a separate motion.

NetDockets notes the Creditors' Committee was appointed on
January 27, 2010.  The panel is represented by Cooley Godward
Kronish LLP and Murtha Cullina LLP.

According to NetDockets, while Bernie's and its secured creditor,
RBS Citizens National Association, negotiated carve-outs for
certain priority claims, including claims of employees, customers
and taxing authorities, they did not agree to provide any recovery
for general unsecured creditors.  In addition, the proposed cash
collateral agreement -- which has now been approved on a final
basis by the court -- encumbers Bernie's few unencumbered assets -
- which the Committee identifies as leasehold interests and
chapter 5 avoidance actions -- and includes a waiver of Bernie's
rights under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.  According to
NetDockets, the Committee argues these agreements cause general
unsecured creditors to be "left out in the cold" and should have
been rejected "unless and until the Debtor and Citizens agree to
provide general unsecured creditors with a chance to recover in
this case."  According to NetDockets, the Committee further argues
that the cases should have been converted to Chapter 7 to benefit
general unsecured creditors by leaving some of Bernie's assets
unencumbered and negating the 506(c) waiver in the cash collateral
agreement.

According to NetDockets, Judge Dabrowski denied the conversion
request, overruled the Committee's objections to the financing
proposal, and granted final approval to the cash collateral
arrangement.

NetDockets says the Court's "order" is actually just a notation
written in the margin of a copy of the first page of the
Committee's motion, which was refiled on the docket.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also Attnempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

BIRCH COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Withdraws 'B3' Corp. Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the ratings previously
assigned to Birch Communications, Inc., including the B3 corporate
family rating, the B2 probability of default rating, and the B3
rating to its proposed $100 million issuance of senior secured
notes.  This rating withdrawal is due to recent indications that
the Company will complete its note issuance under terms that are
different than those that supported the rating assignment.
Moody's believes that the company may seek to raise alternate
capital as market conditions dictate.

Withdrawals:

* Issuer: Birch Communications, Inc.

Moody's most recent rating action for Birch was on November 30,
2009, when Moody's assigned first time ratings to the Company.

Birch, headquartered in Macon, GA, is a CLEC serving about 335,000
business and residential access lines.


BORDERS GROUP: May Consider Bankruptcy or Liquidation
-----------------------------------------------------
With dismal holiday sales, sagging shares, loan deadlines, layoffs
and the resignation of its most recent CEO, Ron Marshall, Borders
Group Inc. may face pressure from investors to consider a pre-
packaged bankruptcy or liquidation, ABI reports.

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Mich., Borders Group, Inc. (NYSE: BGP)
is a leading specialty retailer of books as well as other
educational and entertainment items. The company employs
approximately 25,000 throughout the U.S., primarily in its
Borders(R) and Waldenbooks(R) stores.  Online shopping is offered
through borders.com.


BOSTON SCIENTIFIC: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Rating at 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Issuer Default Rating and
outstanding debt ratings on Boston Scientific Corp.:

  -- IDR at 'BB+';
  -- Senior unsecured notes at 'BB+';
  -- Unsecured bank credit facility at 'BB+'.

Fitch has also revised the Rating Outlook to Stable from Positive.

The rating action follows BSX's announcement that it will settle a
number of longstanding patent lawsuits with Johnson & Johnson
(JNJ) for approximately $1.725 billion.  BSX will pay $1 billion
of the settlement and the remaining $725 million on or before the
first week of January 2011.  While the company has decreased debt
and leverage during the past three years, Fitch expects the
payments will delay BSX's efforts to further de-leverage a year
later than Fitch's forecasts.

The Stable Outlook is supported by the stability of BSX's
operations, which Fitch expects will continue to generate
profitable growth and positive cash flow.  Relatively stable
product markets, an ongoing focus on costs and continued new
product introductions should help support BSX's margins.  As a
result, Fitch expects that BSX will continue to de-leverage to
below 2.0 times over time, albeit a year later than Fitch's prior
expectations.

Although BSX continues to resolve a significant number litigation
issues, financial risk related to unresolved litigation remains.
Regulatory issues regarding its drug-eluting stent and cardiac
rhythm management businesses have been largely rectified.

The ultimate outcome of health care reform initiatives remains
uncertain.  As such, it is unclear how these developments will
affect BSX and the medical device industry.  Therefore, BSX's
ratings do not reflect any potential impact from health care
reform.

Free Cash Flow (Net Cash Flow From Operations Less Capital
Expenditures) for LTM ending Sept. 30, 2009, was $840 million.
Interest coverage (EBITDA/Interest) was 6.26x and leverage (Total
Debt/EBITDA) was 2.46x for LTM ending Sept. 30, 2009.  BSX had
approximately $1.38 billion in cash/short-term investments and
$6.03 billion in debt.  After the quarter ended on Sept. 30, 2009,
BSX issued approximately $2 billion in senior unsecured notes and
paid down its bank term loan.  As a result BSX has approximately
$1.75 billion of debt maturing in 2011, $650 million maturing in
2014 and $1.25 billion maturing in 2015.  At Sept. 30, 2009, BSX
had full availability on its $1.75 billion revolver, maturing on
April 21, 2011.


BOSTON SCIENTIFIC: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's affirmed Boston Scientific Corporation's Ba1 Corporate
Family and Ba1 senior note ratings following the company's
announcement that it had settled several key long-standing patent
lawsuits with Johnson & Johnson for $1.725 billion.  As a result
of this substantial payout and the potential negative implications
for revolver covenant compliance, the company's Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating was revised to SGL-3 from SGL-2.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"Although this settlement removes uncertainty associated with key
litigation with J&J, Boston Scientific's liquidity will be tighter
over the near term," said Diana Lee, a Senior Credit Officer at
Moody's.

While Boston Scientific does have cash and access to a revolver,
this relatively large settlement will reduce the company's
liquidity cushion and financial flexibility.  In addition to the
initial $1 billion payout, Moody's understand the company will use
$745 million in letters of credit as collateral for the remaining
payment plus interest.  While the company's covenants are not
expected to be materially affected by the initial payment to J&J
(due to the presence of a $1.137 billion cash litigation payment
exclusion), a subsequent $745 million payout by the first week of
January 2011 could result in a covenant breach under its current
revolver.

Furthermore, the company has about $1.75 billion in debt maturing
in the first half of 2011.  To be noted, the company's assets are
unencumbered; therefore, even absent the ability to refinance the
revolver, Moody's believe this helps to provide an adequate
liquidity cushion.

The stable outlook assumes that refinancing risk will be addressed
well in advance of year end especially in light of a potential
covenant breach and approaching debt maturities.  Failure to
address refinancing needs could result in negative pressure on
both the long-term Ba1 rating and the SGL-3 rating.  Although
remaining litigation is not expected to be resolved over the near
term, material negative developments could affect the outlook or
ratings.

Meanwhile, the J&J settlement provides resolution of some of the
company's major long-standing legal uncertainties.  However, prior
to considering positive rating movement, Moody's would need to
see: (1) elimination of refinancing risk; (2) sufficient cash flow
generation to substantially fund litigation payouts and any
acquisitions without additional leverage; and (3) that the
company's core CRM and DES segments do not experience significant
downturns in market share due to safety concerns or competitive
issues.

Ratings affirmed:

Boston Scientific Corporation:

* Corporate Family Rating at Ba1
* Senior unsecured notes at Ba1, LGD3, 45%
* Senior shelf securities at (P)Ba1
* PDR at Ba1

Rating changed:

* Speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-2

The last rating action on Boston Scientific was taken on
December 10, 2009, when Moody's affirmed Boston Scientific's
ratings and stable outlook in conjunction with a new bond
offering.

Boston Scientific Corporation, headquartered in Natick,
Massachusetts, is a worldwide developer, manufacturer and marketer
of medical devices, specializing in a broad range of
interventional and cardiac rhythm management devices.


BRUNDAGE BONE: KeyBank Supports Wells Fargo's Call for Examiner
---------------------------------------------------------------
KeyBank National Association and Key Equipment Finance Inc. have
joined Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Equipment Finance,
Inc., and Wachovia Financial Services, Inc., in asking the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado to appoint an
examiner in Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping, Inc.'s bankruptcy
cases.

KeyBank is the second largest secured creditor of the seventeen
secured lenders to debtors Brundage Bone and JLS Concrete Pumping,
Inc.

KeyBank supports Wells Fargo's position that the Debtor's
management isn't acting in the best interest of the creditors.
KeyBank believes that for an extended period of time, the Debtor
has only been acting in its own self-interest and has disregarded
the fiduciary duties it owes to creditors when the Debtor entered
the zone of insolvency.  "Nowhere is this more apparent than
agreement the Debtor entered into with Aurora Resurgence
Management Partners, LLC, for the acquisition of the Debtor.  The
agreement was executed on December 1, 2009, without any disclosure
to the lenders and at a time the Debtor was being 'propped' up by
the lenders," KeyBank says.

As reported by the TCR on January 29, 2010, Wells Fargo claimed,
among other things, that the conflicted and self interested the
Debtor's board caused the Debtors to pursue a restructuring plan
with Aurora Resurgence that places the insiders' interests ahead
of the substantial interests of the Debtors creditors by locking
in directors on the board unless and until the personal guaranties
of Jack Brundage and Dale Bone Sr. are released.

KeyBank states that under the terms of the agreement, the Debtor
tied its own hands by precluding any competing bidders for the
Debtors, a restriction that was further incorporated into the
proposed Debtor-in-Possession facility between Debtor and
Commercial Finance Services 110 LLC and precludes an opportunity
by third parties to bid on the Debtor.

According to KeyBank, the DIP facility further prejudices
creditors by limiting a carve out for attorneys fees for any
committee appointed in the case to $100,000.  In addition, the DIP
Lender is being given a post petition lien on all avoidance
actions in violation of LBR 4001-3APP and to the detriment of
unsecured creditors' rights.

KeyBank and Key Eqiupment are represented by Foster Pepper PLLC
and O'Brien & Zender, P.C.

Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Inc. and JLS Concrete Pumping Inc.,
claim to be the largest providers of concrete pumping services in
the U.S.  JLS Concrete Pumping services California and Nevada from
its corporate headquarters in Ventura and from satellite yards in
Bakersfield, Fresno, Gardena, Lancaster, Las Vegas, Moorpark, Palm
Springs, Riverside, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clarita,
Temecula, Thousand Oaks, and Ventura.

Brundage-Bone and JLS filed for Chapter 11 on Jan. 18, 2010
(Bankr. D. Col. Case No. 10-10758).  According to the schedules,
the Company has assets of $325,708,061, and total debts of
$230,277,103.

CAPITAL GROWTH: Appoints Bradford Higgins to Board and Audit Panel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Growth Systems Inc. appointed Bradford R. Higgins to the
Company's board of directors and board's audit committee following
the resignation of Richard E. Worthy as member of the board.

Mr. Higgins is currently the Managing Partner, US Investments, for
SOSventures, LLC.  SOSventures, LLC, is a privately funded venture
capital firm with a primary investment focus on environmental and
energy efficiencies.

Mr. Higgins will receive $10,000 annually, payable on a quarterly
basis for each quarter that he serves as a director of the
Company.  Service on the Board includes attending up to ten
Board/committee meetings per year, at least four of which are to
be in-person.  For each in-person Board/committee meeting in
excess of the Meeting Minimum, Mr. Higgins will receive $500 for
each half-day and $1,000 for each full-day of Board/committee
meetings attended.  For each telephonic Board/committee meeting in
excess of the Meeting Minimum, Mr. Higgins will receive $250 for
each half-day and $500 for each full-day of Board/committee
meetings attended, provided that no additional compensation will

Effective January 29, 2010, the Company granted to Mr. Higgins
options to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price equal to $0.24 per share, with such options
expiring January 29, 2020.

                           Going Concern

At September 30, 2009, the Company had total assets of $50,008,000
against total liabilities of $81,513,000, resulting in
shareholders' deficit of $31,505,000.  At December 31, 2009, the
Company had shareholders' deficit of $1,797,000.

The Company said its net working capital deficiency, recurring
operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  However, the successful delivery on major customer
contracts entered into since mid-2008 and continued success in
closing these types of contracts are expected to move the Company
into profitability.  In addition to those new contracts,
Management believes that the inclusion of VDUL's business and cash
flows will have a positive impact on future results.  At the same
time, expenses are managed closely and lower-cost outsource
opportunities are given case-by-case consideration.

Notwithstanding, the Company continues to find support among its
shareholders and other investors, as evidenced by the $5.6 million
and $35.8 million financing completed in 2009 and 2008.  This
capital was used to fund the VDUL acquisition, to strengthen its
core logistics business model, and to support existing operations.

CAPMARK FINANCIAL: Asks for Permission for Securities Trading
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Capmark Financial
Group Inc.'s cases asks the Court to permit its members to trade
in the securities of the Debtors upon establishment and
implementation of "ethical walls."

The Committee asks the Court to determine that those Committee
Members, acting in any capacity, will neither violate their
duties as Committee Members or otherwise, nor subject their
claims to possible disallowance, subordination or other adverse
treatment by trading in:

  (i) stock, notes, bonds, debentures, participations in, or
      derivatives based upon or relating to, or any other claims
      against, any of the Debtors' or their non-debtor
      affiliates' debt obligations or equity interest; or

(ii) any other claims against or interests in any one or more
      members of the Debtors or their non-debtor affiliates that
      constitute "securities" within the meaning of applicable
      state or federal securities law or both, whether or not
      covered by Rule 3001(e) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
      Procedure, as long as an Ethical Wall Entity that engages
      in any transaction has established and implemented an
      Ethical Wall reasonably designed, taking into
      consideration the nature of the Ethical Wall Entity's
      business activities, to prevent the misuse of any material
      nonpublic information that may be obtained as a result of
      a Committee Member's performance of Committee-related
      activities.

The Committee proposes these Ethical Wall procedures to be
employed by an Ethical Wall Entity, if it wishes to trade in
Securities:

(a) 1. Each Ethical Wall Entity will cause personnel designated
      to receive nonpublic Committee information to execute a
      letter acknowledging that they may receive nonpublic
      information and that they are aware of, and agree to
      comply with the order and the Ethical Wall procedures
      which are in effect with respect to the Securities;

   2. Committee Personnel will not share material nonpublic
      Committee information with any other employees of that
      Ethical Wall Entity other than in compliance with the
      Ethical Wall procedures;

   3. Ethical Wall Entity will take those steps necessary to
      restrict access to hard copy files containing information
      to non Committee Personnel.  Ethical Wall Entity will
      maintain separate phone numbers and facsimile lines for
      Committee Personnel;

   4. Each Ethical Wall Entity will take those steps necessary
      to restrict the exchange of information through electronic
      means between Committee Personnel and all non Committee
      Personnel, which will be monitored by that Ethical Wall
      Entity's compliance personnel;

   5. Committee Personnel will not receive any specific or
      detailed information regarding Ethical Wall Entity's
      trades in the Securities in advance of the execution of
      those trades;

   6. Each Ethical Wall Entity's compliance personnel will
      receive that Ethical Wall Entity's trades to determine if
      there is any reason to believe that those trades were not
      made in compliance with the information blocking
      procedures;

(b) 1. An Ethical Wall Entity that has already established and
      implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed,
      taking into consideration the nature of the Ethical Wall
      Entity's business activities, to restrict the flow of
      material nonpublic information from areas of that Ethical
      Wall Entity that routinely have access to those
      information to areas that trade in or sell securities or
      other assets or provide investment advice regarding
      securities and other non-public information may trade in
      Securities so long as it maintains and enforces the
      Existing Policies;

   2. Nothing will require an Electing Ethical Wall Entity to
      modify or supplement its Existing Policies, and compliance
      by that Electing Ethical Wall Entity with its Existing
      Policies.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Court Confirms Fairbanks' Reorganization Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Donald MacDonald IV of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Alaska confirmed the Catholic Bishop of Northern
Alaska and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors' Third
Amended and Restated Joint Plan of Reorganization, as amended on
the record, at the confirmation hearing held January 25, 2010.
Judge MacDonald also approved the Third Amended and Restated
Disclosure Statement explaining the Plan.

"With this ruling we can now begin the process of restoring trust
and healing," Fairbanks' Bishop, Donald Kettler, said in a
statement.

According to the Confirmation Hearing's proceeding memorandum,
parties will lodge with the Court an agreed confirmation order.
The Associated Press says the Third Amended Plan is expected to be
signed within a couple of weeks.

Judge MacDonald directed Howard M. Levine, Esq., at Sussman Shank
LLP, to ask for expedited approval of the resolution of the issues
between the Diocese and the Jesuits in the Chapter 11 case of the
Society of Jesus, Oregon Province, so that the Plan's effective
date, and the distribution to the tort claimants is not delayed.

James I. Stang, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, advised the Court that a stipulation would
be forthcoming, which would allow retired California State Court
Judge William L. Bettinelli -- the mediator in the Diocese's
reorganization case  -- to begin his work.  The Court said it will
approve that stipulation once it's filed.

Under the Third Amended Plan, the Diocese, with additional help
from its KNOM division, the Parish Churches, the Monroe
Foundation, increased insurance settlements and agreements by
professionals to forego certain fees, has been able to commit to a
guaranteed payment of $9.8 million to the Fund for paying Tort
Claims.  The $9.8 million amount is net of administrative expenses
and will be transferred to the Fund by the Diocese on or before
the Third Amended Plan's effective date.

Kenneth S. Roosa, Esq., at Cooke Roosa LLC, in Anchorage, Alaska,
said he expects lengthy court action in the Diocese's litigation
against two insurance companies, Catholic Mutual Relief Society of
America and Travelers Casualty and Surety Co.  Mr. Roosa has
represented claimants against the Diocese.

"This is no huge milestone -- just another step along the path,"
AP quoted Mr. Roosa as saying.

                     Non-Monetary Actions

As previously reported, the Diocese's commitment to reconciliation
and healing is further reinforced in the Third Amended Plan by
continuing the Diocese's commitment to assist the healing process
and by Diocese's commitment to take additional non-monetary
actions, including the filing of the names of individuals
identifying them as priests, religious, lay employees and
volunteers accused of sexual abuse in the filed Proofs of Claim,
and the posting on the home page of its and the Diocese of
Fairbanks' Web page a prominent link on the home page to the names
of accused individuals and other known perpetrators.

Bishop Kettler will personally go to every Parish in which any
individuals were abused and where those accused persons served.
The Bishop will read from the pulpit a statement of apology and
encourage parishioners to support victims.  A general letter of
apology will be displayed on Fairbanks' Web site for a period of
10 years from the Effective Date.

"It was something we had hoped for and it said to me you've got a
lot of work to do for healing, and a lot more work yet to do,"
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner quoted Bishop Kettler as saying.  "I
have no objection.  Most of what they asked us to do I had already
started to do . . . It will be my primary task," he added.

                      Summary of Ballots

Reports note that the Plan was overwhelmingly accepted by the
creditors of the bankruptcy case:

Class                        Description             Vote
-----                        -----------             -----
Class 1                  No Vote/Unimpaired     Deemed Accepted

Continental Claims

Class 13                         Receive $0     Deemed Rejected
Pilgrim Springs
Claims

Class 14                         Receive $0     Deemed Rejected
Penalty Claims

Counsel for CBNA, Kasey C. Nye, Esq., at Quarles & Brady LLP, in
Tucson, Arizona, relates that with respect the Class 10 voting
results, one party submitted a ballot but had not filed a claim,
therefore that party's ballot was not counted.

Mr. Nye notes that the Diocese objected to 5 Tort Claims: Nos.
1014, 1204, 1251, 1252 and 1259.  Pursuant to the Disclosure
Statement Order, Tort Claimants whose Tort Claims had been
objected to, were barred from voting on the Plan.  Three out of
the five Tort Claimants whose Tort Claims had been objected to
voted affirmatively on the Plan, however, their votes have not
been counted.

There were 258 remaining Tort Claimants who voted, 256 of whom
voted to accept the Plan and 2 of whom voted to reject the Plan,
resulting in 99% of the Tort Claimants voting to accept the Plan
and 1% voting to reject the Plan, Mr. Nye explains.  Of the 256
Tort Claimants who voted to accept the Plan, one voted to
participate in the Convenience Tort Claim Class, he said.

             Nonmaterial Modification to the Plan

Prior to the approval of the Plan, the Diocese notified the Court
and parties-in-interest of certain nonmaterial modifications to
the Plan relating to the claims asserted by the Jesuits.  The
modification provides that:

  -- if and when allowed, the Diocese or the Reorganized Debtor
     will set off against the Jesuit Unsecured Claims against
     any recoveries in favor of the Diocese or the Reorganized
     Debtor for Claims against the Jesuits, on account of the
     Jesuit Fault Allocation Claims.  The Jesuits will not
     receive or retain anything on account of the Plan except
     and only to the extent that the amount of the Jesuit Fault
     Allocation Claims do not exceed any Allowed Jesuit
     Unsecured Claims;

  -- the set off of any Allowed Jesuit Unsecured Claims will
     occur prior to the distribution of any recoveries to the
     Fund on account of the Jesuit Fault Allocation Claims, in
     accordance with the terms of the Plan;

  -- the Allowed Jesuit Unsecured Claims will bear interest at
     the rate of 7% per annum from the date the Jesuit Unsecured
     Claims are Allowed until paid in full; and

  -- the Class 7 Jesuit Unsecured Claims are impaired under the
     Plan.

The Diocese also filed with the Court a copy of the list of
exhibits for the Confirmation Hearing, which list includes the
Plan and Disclosure Statement and their accompanying exhibits.

                    Confirmation Objections

The Society of Jesus, Oregon Province, asserted that the Plan
cannot be confirmed because it directly violates an order entered
in its own bankruptcy case, which bars CBNA from affecting the
Jesuits' rights, if any, under CBNA's insurance policies and
setting off its claims against those of the Jesuits without first
obtaining relief from the automatic stay in the Jesuit Case, among
other reasons.

Fathers Henry Hargreaves and Brad Reynolds, and James E. Poole
argued that the Plan can not be confirmed based upon the failure
to provide notice to all interested parties of the Plan and
Confirmation Hearing with an opportunity to object.  They pointed
out that due process requires notice to interested parties.

In its brief supporting the confirmation of the Plan and responses
to the confirmation objections, the Diocese argued that both
Objections "primarily attack straw men" rather than the content of
the Plan.

Counsel for the Diocese, Susan G. Boswell, Esq., at Quarles &
Brady LLP, in Tucson, Arizona, asserted that the Jesuits' theory
that it is an additional insured under certain Diocesan policies
is absurd on many levels because, among other reasons, the Jesuits
is not an additional insured under those policies.  She also
insisted that Fathers and Mr. Poole wrongly argued that the Plan
may affect their rights under the policies.

The Creditors Committee joined in and supported the Diocese's
response to the Objections.

Paul J. Sievers and David A. Paige, Esq., filed separate
declarations in support to the responses to the Objections.  Mr.
Sievers is the Creditors Committee's special insurance counsel,
while Mr. Paige is one of the Diocese's counsel.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Fairbanks Proposes Rule 9019 Settlements
---------------------------------------------------------
The Catholic Bishop of Northern Alaska asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Alaska to approve settlement agreements
it entered separately with certain settling parties under Rule
9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.  The Settling
Parties are:

  -- Alaska National Insurance Company;

  -- certain of the Diocese's parish churches;

  -- The Continental Insurance Company; and

  -- the Monroe Foundation, Inc.

The Agreements resolve issues between the Diocese and the Settling
Parties.

Under the ANIC Agreement, ANIC will pay the Diocese $1,400,000 and
will buy back CBNA's rights under certain insurance policies
covering CBNA, and will not purchase any rights under the Policies
belonging to the Anchorage Archdiocese, the Juneau Diocese, the
Society of Jesus, Oregon Province or any other person that is not
an Other Released Party under the Agreement.

Pursuant to the CIC Agreement, the Diocese and CIC will fully and
finally settle all claims against each other.  To do so, CIC will
have an allowed $1,200,000 general unsecured claim against the
bankruptcy estate, which CIC will assign to the fund established
in the Diocese's Plan of Reorganization to fund the Settlement
Trust created under the Plan.

Under its Agreement with the Diocese, the Parish Churches will
contribute $650,000 to be paid to the Estate with the proceeds
used to fund the Litigation and Settlement Trusts established by
the Plan.  Some of the Parish Churches are additional or co-
insureds with CBNA under various insurance policies, which provide
or may provide coverage for sexual misconduct.  Subject to the
terms of the Agreement, the Parish Churches agree to execute
necessary documents so that (i) all policies under which the
Parish Churches are insureds or co-insureds may be settled with
the proceeds used to fund the Fund established by the Plan, or,
(ii) so that all of those policies may be assigned to the Fund in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.  The source of the funds
for the $650,000 payment is the unrestricted parish funds in the
Catholic Trust of Northern Alaska.

The Foundation, under its Agreement with the Diocese, will
contribute $150,000 to be paid to the Estate no later than the
Plan's Effective Date.  In consideration for the mutual releases
and payment of the settlement amount, the Foundation will be
deemed a Participating Third Party and will be a beneficiary of
the channeling of the Tort Claims and Future Tort Claims to the
Settlement Trust and the Litigation Trust, and the issuance of the
Channeling Injunction through the confirmation of the Plan.  As a
result of the Channeling Injunction and releases provided in the
Agreement, it is contemplated the Foundation will not be subject
to certain claims against the Estate, including Tort Claims and
Future Tort Claims.

Susan G. Boswell, Esq., at Quarles & Brady LLP, in Tucson,
Arizona, relates that claims being settled in the Agreements
involve highly complex litigation that would take a long time to
resolve.  She asserts that the proposed settlements and settlement
amounts are reasonable, well within the range of likely outcomes
of the litigants' dispute, and CBNA has concluded that the
settlement reflects an appropriate balance of costs, risks and
potential rewards of litigation.

                        Jesuits Object

In separate objections, the Jesuits tell Judge MacDonald that the
proposed Agreements are corollary to the Diocese and Creditors
Committee's Plan.

Frederick J. Odsen, Esq., at Hughes Pfiffner Gorski Seedorf &
Odsen, LLC, in Anchorage, Alaska, tells the Alaska Bankruptcy
Court that in an order dated January 8, 2010, Judge Elizabeth
Perris of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon
ruled that the Diocese "shall not, through its plan or order
confirming its plan, affect SJOP's rights, if any, as an alleged
insured under any insurance policy or any other rights SJOP
alleges to have under any insurance policy."

Mr. Odsen contends that the Agreements violate Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code and the SJOP Stay Order because they (i)
affect the Jesuits' rights, if any, as an alleged insured under
any insurance policy or any other rights the Jesuits allege to
have under any insurance policy, and (ii) affect the Jesuits'
rights against any entity other than CBNA.

The Diocese is not authorized to release any of the Jesuits'
rights against any of the Settling Parties, Mr. Odsen argues.  He
points out that those rights, if any, are assets of the Jesuits'
bankruptcy estate and cannot be impaired by any other person or
entity.

According to the proceeding memorandum of the confirmation hearing
held January 25, 2010, the Diocese has put terms of the Agreement

that the settlements are contingent upon written final approval of
the Plan.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Fairbanks Want Sanction on The Greens
------------------------------------------------------
The Catholic Bishop of Northern Alaska asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Alaska to require Louis Green Sr. and
Nancy Green, and their attorney, Byron E. Collins, Esq., to appear
and show cause why they should not be sanctioned for their
egregious and willful violation of the automatic stay.

Susan G. Boswell, Esq., at Quarles & Brady LLP, in Tucson,
Arizona, relates that the Greens and Mr. Collins willfully
violated the automatic stay on multiple occasions from
November 25, 2009, to the present, which began with their filing
of a civil complaint against the Diocese in the Superior Court of
the state of Alaska.  The complaint sought to obtain title to
property of the bankruptcy estate through adverse possession.  Mr.
Collins's violations of the stay began on December 10, 2009, when
he refused to dismiss the complaint.

Not only did the Greens and Mr. Collins refuse to dismiss the
complaint, on December 30, 2009, they asked for a default judgment
against the Diocese in the Alaska Superior Court, Ms. Boswell
asserts.  "This egregious conduct warrants imposition of a
substantial punitive sanction as well as a civil contempt sanction
in order to compel compliance with the automatic stay," she points
out.

The Diocese, therefore, asks the Court to:

  -- require the Greens and Mr. Collins to appear and show cause
     why they should not be sanctioned for violating the
     automatic stay;

  -- rule that the Diocese does not need to respond to the
     complaint;

  -- direct the Greens and Mr. Collins to pay the Diocese all
     attorney's fees and cost incurred in connection with the
     stay violation; and

  -- direct the Greens and Mr. Collins to pay the Diocese $1,000
     per day for every day after December 15, 2009, that they
     failed to dismiss the complaint.

                         *     *     *

The Court granted the request following a shortened notice period.
Judge MacDonald said that both the filing of the complaint and the
filing of the default judgment request violated the automatic stay
provisions of Sections 362(a)(1), (3) and (6) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

In his 18-page memorandum, Judge MacDonald noted that the
automatic stay is one of the most important protections provided a
debtor in bankruptcy because it halts all collection efforts and
"affords the debtor time to propose a reorganization plan, or
simply 'to be relieved of the financial pressures that drove him
into bankruptcy,'" citing 48 Gruntz v. County of Los Angeles (In
re Gruntz), 202 F.3d 1074, 1081 (9th Cir. 2000).

Judge MacDonald also held that there is nothing in the Greens'
quiet title complaint or in the record before the Court to
indicate that they hold an adverse possession claim "under color
of title," because they do not have a written instrument, which
purports to give them title to Pilgrim Springs.  He noted that the
Greens were on the property with the permission of CBNA's lessee,
Pilgrim Springs, Ltd.  Hence, Judge MacDonald ruled that the quiet
title action is void, as it was filed in violation of the
automatic stay.

The Court directed the Greens and Mr. Collins to file a notice of
dismissal in the quiet title action by no later than February 4,
2010.  Should the Greens and Mr. Collins, fail to file a notice of
dismissal by February 4, Judge MacDonald held that a fine of
$1,000 per day thereafter will be imposed by the Court.

As a sanction for violation of the automatic stay, the Court ruled
that the Diocese will recover from the Greens and Mr. Collins its
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred to date in pursuing
its sanction motion and in defending against the quiet title
action.  The Court directed the Diocese to submit by March 1,
2010, a motion in support of an award of attorneys' fees and
costs, detailing the fees and costs expended in these pursuits.

Prior to the entry of the order, the Greens asserted that the
Diocese has no legal or equitable interest remaining in "Pilgrim
Hot Springs" and that the property is not estate property.  They
insisted that they acquired title in fee simple absolute to
"Pilgrim Hot Springs" by adverse possession, prior to the Petition
Date.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Jesuits Want Lift Stay to Tender Insurance Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Society of Jesus, Oregon Province, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Alaska to lift the automatic stay to
give notice of, and to take all appropriate or necessary actions
with respect to any claims in regard to the pertinent insurance
carriers as the Jesuits may, in its sole discretion, choose under
any or all of the insurance policies of the Catholic Bishop of
Northern Alaska.

Frederick J. Odsen, Esq., at Hughes Pfiffner Gorski Seedorf &
Odsen, LLC, in Anchorage, Alaska, tells the Alaska Bankruptcy
Court that the present balance owing to the Jesuits is partially
liquidated and partially unliquidated and is based upon three
different components:

  (1) a liquidated unsecured claim based on certain Promissory
      Notes for $217,081, Claim 17-1;

  (2) a contingent and unliquidated claim for allocation of
      fault and indemnity, including any right to allocate fault
      to the Diocese under Alaska Statutes 09.17.080, Claim
      16-1; and

  (3) a claim for contingent insurance coverage under any
      policies issued to the Diocese under which the Jesuits may
      be covered, Claim 20-1.

The Contingent Insurance Coverage Claims are based upon the extent
to which the Jesuits is determined to be a named insured,
additional insured, or otherwise entitled to coverage under the
insurance policies previously issued to the Diocese, including
those policies now subject to litigation in the Diocese's
adversary proceeding against certain insurers, Mr. Odsen relates.

Mr. Odsen notes that in an order dated January 8, 2010, Judge
Elizabeth Perris of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Oregon ruled that the Diocese "shall not, through its plan or
order confirming its plan, affect SJOP's rights, if any, as an
alleged insured under any insurance policy or any other rights
SJOP alleges to have under any insurance policy."

Mr. Odsen contends that granting the request is consistent with
the Oregon Bankruptcy Court Order and will not adversely affect
the Diocese's rights in and to the CBNA Insurance Policies since
the Jesuits, like the Diocese itself, has independent legal rights
or potential rights under the CBNA Insurance Policies, including
the right to defense and indemnification under the CBNA Insurance
Policies.  He adds that granting relief from stay will facilitate
the ends of justice in that the rights of third parties, like the
Jesuits, will be protected and preserved under applicable
nonbankruptcy law.

Objections to the request are due February 8, 2010.  If objections
are filed by February 8, a hearing to consider the request will be
held February 24, 2010.  If not, relief from stay will occur
automatically under Section 362(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: April 15 Bar Date Set in Wilmington Diocese Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Christopher Sontchi at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware has established April 15, 2010, at 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern), as the deadline for claimants to file a proof of claim
against Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, Inc., on account of
prepetition claims.

NetDockets notes the Claims Bar Date applies to tort claimants who
assert a claim "arising from abuse for which the individual
believes the Debtor may be liable," but those claimants must use a
separate proof of claim form and their proofs of claim will be
automatically deemed confidential unless the claimant specifically
designates otherwise on the proof of claim form.  Proofs of claim
filed by tort claimants will be accessible only by the debtor, its
counsel, its insurers, counsel to the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors and its members, and other parties allowed
access by a Court order.

CINRAM INTERNATIONAL: S&P Cuts Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its ratings on
Scarborough, Ontario-based Cinram International Inc., including
the long-term corporate credit rating to 'B-' from 'B'.  At the
same time, S&P placed all the ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

"The rating actions follow the announcement that Cinram received
notice that Warner Home Video Inc. has exercised its option to
terminate its service agreements with Cinram on July 31, 2010,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lori Harris.  Warner Home
Video (WHV; not rated) is a subsidiary of Time Warner Inc.
(BBB/Stable/A-2).

Standard & Poor's believes the loss of the contract is substantial
given that WHV represented about 28% of Cinram's total revenue in
2009.  S&P is uncertain at this time of the contribution the WHV
contract made to Cinram's EBITDA last year; however, S&P expects
it to be significant.  "The contract loss will likely result in
Cinram's financial risk profile weakening, including higher
leverage and reduced liquidity, because of the expected decline in
EBITDA and free cash flow," Ms. Harris added.

S&P will likely keep the ratings on Cinram on CreditWatch negative
until Standard & Poor's meets with management and reviews the
company's business risk and financial risk profiles in light of
the WHV announcement.


COLONIAL BANCGROUP: Gets Final Approval to Access Non-Deposits
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Dwight H. Williams, Jr., of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Alabama, in a final order, authorized The
Colonial BancGroup, Inc., to:

   -- use cash from sources other than the deposits to supplement
      the use of cash collateral; and

   -- grant replacement liens as adequate protection to the
      affected creditors.

The Debtor would use the additional cash collateral to pay monthly
operating and bankruptcy expenses; and professional fees and
expenses.

The Debtor won use cash representing collateral for secured
lenders' claims.  Alabama taxing authorities, Branch Banking &
Trust Co., and the FDIC all claim security interests in Colonial's
deposit accounts:

   a) The State of Alabama Department of Revenue -- $9,000,000
      which was revised to a sum less than $7 million.

   b) BB&T -- $24,027,299, which amount remains on deposit with
      BB&T under prior orders of the Court and the Debtor does not
      seek to make any change in the status quo as to the funds;
      and

   c) The FDIC-Receiver -- asserts a security interest in and a
      right of offset with respect to the deposits that is
      duplicative of the lien asserted by BB&T in the deposits and
      is based upon the same Security Agreement asserted by BB&T
      as the basis of its claim.

Headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, The Colonial BancGroup, Inc.
(NYSE: CNB) was holding company to Colonial Bank, N.A, its
banking subsidiary.  Colonial bank -- http://www.colonialbank.com/
-- operated 354 branches in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada and
Texas with over $26 billion in assets.  On August 14, 2009,
Colonial Bank was seized by regulators and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation was named receiver.  The FDIC sold most of
the assets to Branch Banking and Trust, Winston-Salem, North
Carolina.  BB&T acquired $22 billion in assets and assumed
$20 billion in deposits of the Bank.

Colonial BancGroup filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
August 25, 2009 (Bankr. M.D. Ala. Case No. 09-32303).  W. Clark
Watson, Esq., at Balch & Bingham LLP and Rufus T. Dorsey IV,
Esq., at Parker Hudson Rainer & Dobbs LLP, assist the Company in
its restructuring effort.  The Company listed $45,000,000 in
assets and $380,000,000 in debts in its bankruptcy filing.


CONTINENTAL AIRLINES: Pilot Union Threatens to Undo Joint Venture
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Christopher Hinton at MarketWatch reports Continental Airlines'
pilots union is threatening to undo a transatlantic joint venture
agreement Continental forged in 2009 with United Airlines, Air
Canada and Germany's Lufthansa, unless current labor talks result
in better job security.

Mr. Hinton recalls Continental, United, Air Canada and Lufthansa
won antitrust immunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation
in July 2009 to form the venture, which allows the partners to
pool revenue and coordinate airfare and routes more closely.  Mr.
Hinton says the venture is to be fully implemented by December.
The carriers already sell seats on each others' flights through
their Star Alliance, but the venture will help them compete more
effectively against rival agreements between members of the
SkyTeam Alliance.

Mr. Hinton says the Air Line Pilots Association said it has
contractual power to veto any venture that involves revenue
sharing with another domestic carrier.  According to Mr. Hinton,
the little-known provision -- called a scopes clause -- was
established to protect pilots from joint ventures that can
sometimes lead to a decrease in route growth or job cuts.
According to Mr. Hinton, in turn for backing the joint venture,
ALPA Continental MEC Chairman Capt. Jay Pierce said he wants the
airline to stop stalling over a new contract and to grant
additional job security.

Mr. Hinton relates Continental pilots have been in negotiations
with management since July 2007, but continue to work under a 2005
concessionary contract in the meantime.  That agreement called for
a $200 million a year reduction in pilot labor costs through wage
reductions, an increase in flying time and a retirement-plan
freeze, Capt. Pierce said, according to the report.

Mr. Hinton says for the pilots, the biggest fear is Continental
farming out new routes and jobs to its partner airlines, such a
United parent company's UAL Corp.'s arrangement with Ireland's Aer
Lingus.

"UAL provides not airplanes, no pilots; nothing," said Capt.
Pierce, according to Mr. Hinton.  "The flying is done by an alter-
ego airline, so UAL may get an enhancement through revenue, but
the pilots don't get anything out of the deal.  That's why this
job protection language is needed."

On January 21, the Continental pilots responded to the carrier's
release of its 2009 full-year and fourth-quarter results.  Capt.
Pierce said, "We are glad to see that Continental, while posting a
full-year loss, did show an operating profit for the last two
quarters, including the fourth quarter, which is usually a money
loser for airlines.  Additionally, we are pleased to see
Continental management invest in the future of the airline, with a
move to the Star Alliance and spending on new airplanes, new
seats, DIRECTV and Internet access on some aircraft.  However,
what is sorely missing in their release is mention of investment
in the very asset that is most critical to the success of the
airline: its employees.

"Labor groups at Continental Airlines have endured years of
working under concessionary contracts, with cuts in pay, work
rules and benefits. The pilots' contract is more than one year
past its amendable date, and we have been negotiating since July
2007.  With the potential gains in revenue from Continental's move
to the Star Alliance, continued positive economic indicators and
signs of recovery in the airline industry, management must now
turn its attention to making things right with its front-line
labor groups."

The pilots last met with management in early December 2009,
presenting the union's comprehensive proposal covering all
sections of the contract, including economic issues such as pay,
work rules, retirement and benefits.

Added Capt. Pierce, "The pilots of Continental Airlines have made
a personal investment of approximately $1 billion in wage, work
rule and benefit concessions over the last five years; we need to
get a return on that investment.  The 'thank you' in the company's
release is a nice gesture, but at some point you need to take care
of your employees."

ALPA represents more than 53,000 pilots at 37 airlines in the
United States and Canada, including approximately 5,000 pilots at
Continental Airlines.  There are 147 Continental pilots currently
on furlough.

                   About Continental Airlines

Continental Airlines Inc. (NYSE: CAL) --
http://www.continental.com/-- is the world's fifth largest
airline.  Continental, together with Continental Express and
Continental Connection, has more than 2,400 daily departures
throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, serving 130 domestic and
132 international destinations.  Continental is a member of Star
Alliance, which provides access to more than 900 additional points
in 169 countries via 24 other member airlines.  With more than
41,000 employees, Continental has hubs serving New York, Houston,
Cleveland and Guam, and together with its regional partners,
carries roughly 63 million passengers per year.

Continental ended the third quarter of 2009 with $2.54 billion in
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
At September 30, 2009, Continental had $12.5 billion in total
assets against total current liabilities of $4.26 billion, long-
term debt and capital leases of $5.29 billion, deferred income
taxes of $180 million, accrued pension liability of $1.36 billion,
accrued retiree medical benefits of $241 million, and other
liabilities of $806 million; against stockholders' equity of
$446 million.

                       *     *     *

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: Has Pledge for $245MM Investment; Files Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., the parent company of Cooper-
Standard Automotive Inc., on Tuesday said it has entered into an
Equity Commitment Agreement with certain holders of the Company's
7% Senior Notes due 2012 and 8-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2014, providing for a commitment to backstop a $245 million equity
Rights Offering that will be made to eligible holders of the
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.  The Rights Offering
will be effectuated through a proposed joint chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization, which was filed Monday with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  The Plan, the
Rights Offering, and all related transactions have the full
support of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

Under the Plan, and subject to confirmation of the Plan, the
Company's Debtor-in-Possession financing and prepetition credit
facility will be paid in full in cash.  Likewise, general
unsecured claims against Cooper-Standard Automotive and all of its
debtor subsidiaries will receive payment in full in cash.  Holders
of the Senior Notes will be issued 18.75% of the New Common Stock
of the Company, and eligible holders of the Senior Notes will
receive Rights to purchase, in the aggregate, 45% of the New
Common Stock of the Company.  Holders of the Senior Subordinated
Notes will be issued 6.25% of the New Common Stock of the Company
and Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 5% of the New Common
Stock on the terms set forth in the Plan, or, at the election of
such holders, a cash payment in lieu of the Warrants.  Eligible
holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes will also receive Rights
to purchase, in the aggregate, 15% of the New Common Stock of the
Company.

Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Agreement, certain holders of
the Company's Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes have
agreed to purchase 15% of the New Common Stock and provide a
backstop for any unsubscribed portion of the Rights Offering in a
total amount of $245 million.  The commitment of these Backstop
Parties is subject to a number of conditions, including Bankruptcy
Court approval of the Equity Commitment Agreement and confirmation
of the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Company's balance sheet will be significantly
deleveraged with an estimated funded debt balance at emergence of
approximately $430 million.  This represents a reduction of over
$700 million from pre-petition levels.

"Obtaining a $245 million equity investment and filing our Plan
are significant achievements that pave the way for our expeditious
and efficient emergence from bankruptcy," stated James S. McElya,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  "The Equity
Commitment Agreement is a strong statement of support by a
significant group of the company's current creditors, and the fact
that the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors fully supports
the Plan and the Rights Offering strongly indicates that the
transaction is in the best interests of all of our unsecured
creditors.  The Plan and Equity Commitment Agreement will allow
the company to emerge from bankruptcy with a stronger balance
sheet and maintain its leadership position in the industry."

The hearing to approve the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement
filed in connection with the Plan is scheduled for March 9, 2010.
It is expected that the hearing to approve the Equity Commitment
Agreement will be scheduled for on or before March 9, 2010.
Cooper-Standard Automotive Canada Limited, the Company's Canadian
subsidiary that has sought relief under the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act in Canada, intends to file a Plan of Arrangement
or Compromise in the Canadian Court in the near term.  Court
approval of the Disclosure Statement is necessary to allow the
Company to solicit votes for confirmation of the Plan.
Consummation of the Plan is subject to a favorable vote by
creditors, review and approval of the Bankruptcy Court and
satisfaction of the confirmation requirements of the Bankruptcy
Code.

COOPER-STANDARD: Monitor Reports Revised Cash Projections
---------------------------------------------------------
RSM Richter Inc., the firm appointed by the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice to monitor the assets of Cooper-Standard
Automotive Canada Ltd., filed a report on January 14, 2010, to
disclose a change to the company's projected cash flow for the
period ending April 4, 2010.

The change relates to a proposed payment to Canada Revenue Agency
of $19.9 million in the week of February 28, 2010.  Copies of the
initial and the revised projected cash flow statements are
available without charge at:

               http://researcharchives.com/t/s?4ddc
               http://researcharchives.com/t/s?4ddd

RSM Richter reported that a large portion of payment relates
directly to some transfer tax refunds, to date totaling
approximately $80 million, received by CSA Canada on July 27,
2009.

"The company had anticipated having to make this payment to CRA
but was uncertain as to timing," RSM Richter said in the report,
adding that it has reviewed the schedule supporting the payment
and believes that the "underlying assumptions and calculations
are reasonable."

RSM Richter further said that even after the payment to CRA, CSA
Canada is projected to have $74.7 million in cash at that time.

COOPER-STANDARD: Ontario Court Hears Appeal on Tax Refunds
----------------------------------------------------------
The Ontario Court of Appeals has decided to hear an appeal by
Cooper-Standard Automotive Canada Ltd. that earlier challenged a
decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

CSA Canada, the Canadian unit of Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.,
earlier asked the CA to hear its appeal on the Canadian Court's
prior order to segregate all tax refunds it received from Canada
Revenue Agency after September 29, 2009.

The company complained that the Canadian Court ordered a so-
called "mareva injunction" on the tax refunds although it was not
sought by Cooper Tire & Rubber Company and no one took an action
against CSA Canada to seek that ruling.

Cooper Tire asked the CA to dismiss the appeal.

Cooper Tire asserts ownership of about $60 million in tax refunds
and seeks to recover $42.5 million in additional tax refunds yet
to be received.  It filed a suit late last year against CSA
Canada, CSHI and Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., demanding CSHI
to remit the tax refunds.

COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL: Faces Class Action Suit From CMBS Investors
------------------------------------------------------------------
Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP and Barroway Topaz
Kessler Meltzer & Check, LLP, announced that a class action has
been commenced on behalf of purchasers of certain mortgage-backed
securities sponsored by affiliates of Countrywide Financial
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc. and related trusts, issued between 2005 and 2007.  The
case has been assigned a civil action number of 10-cv-00302-SJO-
PJW and is pending in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California.

The Complaint alleges claims under the Securities Act of 1933 as a
class action on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise
acquired the following certificates: Alternative Loan Trust
Certificates issued by CWALT, Inc.; CWABS Asset-Backed Trust
Certificates issued by CWABS, Inc.; CHL Mortgage Pass-Through
Trust Certificates issued between 2005 and 2006 by CWMBS, Inc.;
and CWHEQ Revolving Home Equity Loan Trusts and Home Equity Loan
Trusts issued by, CWHEQ, Inc.  The Complaint alleges that
defendants issued the Certificates pursuant or traceable to the
following registration statements filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission: 333-110343, 333-100418, 333-118926, 333-
117949, 333-121249, 333-125164, 333-123167, 333-125963, 333-
131591, 333-125902, 333-131662, 333-135846, 333-131630, 333-
140958, 333-140960, 333-140962, 333-121378, 333-126790, 333-
132375, 333-139891.  The Certificates were then sold to Class
members pursuant to certain prospectuses, which also were filed
with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the Registration
Statements.  More information about the Registration Statements
and Certificates, including details of the individual Prospectus
Supplements involved in this action, is contained in pages 13
through 52 of the Complaint, available at the web sites listed
above.  The Complaint charges that the Registration Statements and
Prospectus Supplements issued in connection with the Certificates
contained materially false and misleading statements and omitted
material information in violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15
of the Securities Act.

Specifically, the Complaint charges that Countrywide, certain
officers and directors of CWALT, CWABS, CWMBS and CWHEQ, and
certain investment banks, which served as underwriters of the
Certificates, violated the Securities Act by issuing the
Certificates pursuant to Registration Statements and Prospectus
Supplements that misrepresented the quality of the underlying
mortgages that had been pooled and placed in the issuing trusts.
The Complaint alleges various misrepresentations and omissions as
to the underwriting practices employed in originating the
mortgages, the sufficiency of the collateral and the appraisal
practices used to support the mortgages.  As a result of the
material misrepresentations and omissions in the Registration
Statements and Prospectus Supplements, investors purchased
securities that were far riskier than represented.

According to the Complaint, by mid-2007 the mortgages held by the
Issuing Trusts and underlying the Certificates began suffering
accelerating delinquencies and defaults.  The defaults led to real
estate foreclosures, which revealed that the properties underlying
the mortgages were worth materially less than the loans issued to
the borrowers, and the borrowers did not have sufficient financial
wherewithal to cover the outstanding mortgage balances.  The
representations made in the Company's Prospectus Supplements were
materially false and misleading because at the time of the
Certificates offerings, Countrywide's underwriting standards were
not designed to evaluate a borrower's ability to repay or the true
value of the mortgaged property underlying the Certificates.
These adverse factors were not revealed and/or adequately
addressed in the offering documents.

The Complaint alleges that defendants could have -- and should
have -- discovered the material misstatements and omissions in the
Company's Prospectus Supplements prior to their filing with the
SEC and distribution to the investing public.  Instead, they
failed to do so as a result of a negligent and inadequate due
diligence investigation.  Had Plaintiffs and the other members of
the Class known the truth, they would not have purchased the
Certificates, or they would not have purchased them at the
inflated prices that were paid.  Plaintiffs seek to recover
damages on behalf of all purchasers of the Certificates issued
between 2005 and 2007.

The Plaintiffs are represented by Coughlin Stoia and Barroway
Topaz. Both law firms have expertise in prosecuting investor class
actions and extensive experience litigating actions involving
violations of the Securities Act.

Coughlin Stoia, a 180-lawyer firm with offices in San Diego, San
Francisco, New York, Boca Raton, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia

to buy the ailing lender.


CRESCENT RESOURCES: Files Plan of Reorganization
------------------------------------------------
Crescent Resources disclosed that the company and certain of its
subsidiaries have filed a Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure
Statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Western District
of Texas, Austin Division.  The Plan is supported by a significant
group of the company's pre-petition lenders.

Crescent expects to emerge from its financial restructuring with
a significantly improved balance sheet and with substantially
less debt.  Under the terms of the Plan, the Company's
outstanding secured debt would be reduced by approximately
$1 billion to $465 million.  In addition, Crescent is currently
soliciting proposals for an exit financing facility of
approximately $125-150 million, the proceeds of which will
refinance outstanding Debtor-in-Possession borrowings, fund exit
costs and provide significant working capital.

Andrew Hede, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Restructuring
Officer of Crescent Resources said, "The filing of our Plan of
Reorganization marks the final stage in the restructuring process,
and we expect to emerge from bankruptcy early in the second
quarter of 2010.  The plan will provide for a significantly
deleveraged capital structure with greater financial flexibility
to execute our business plan and operate the company long-term.
We appreciate the support of our lenders, vendors, customers,
employees and partners during this process."

Mr. Hede continued, "With a restructured balance sheet, solid
financial foundation and strategic focus on core and high-value
assets, Crescent will emerge as a stronger company that is better
positioned to compete and serve our customers.  While we are
beginning to see positive signs of recovery in each of our
business units and each of our markets, we continue to anticipate
a gradual recovery over the next 12 -18 months.  The capital
structure contemplated in our Plan is correctly sized for current
market opportunities.  I am confident we have both the financial
flexibility and strategy to succeed."

Significant terms of the Plan include:

   -- Holders of prepetition secured debt will receive a
      combination of reinstated debt and 100% of the equity of the
      reorganized company.

   -- General unsecured creditors of the company shall receive an
      interest in a litigation trust to be formed as part of the
      Plan.

   -- Various project level lenders shall have their existing debt
      reinstated.

Crescent Resources, LLC, and certain of its subsidiaries filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the
Western District of Texas, Austin Division on June 10, 2009.

CROSS CANYON: Files for Chapter 11 with Prepackaged Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Cross Canyon Energy Corp. (OTC BB:CCYE) on January 29 filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.  The
Company said in a statement that it will continue to manage its
properties and operate its businesses in the ordinary course
throughout the Chapter 11 process while the Company seeks
confirmation of its reorganization plan under the jurisdiction of
the Bankruptcy court.

The Chapter 11 Case was filed pursuant to a Plan Support and Lock-
Up Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2010, among the Company and
the holders of all of the Company's outstanding senior secured
debt, in the aggregate amount of approximately $35.2 million.
Pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement, the Company commenced a
solicitation of the Prepetition Secured Lenders and the holder of
all of the Company's outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock, as the only impaired classes entitled to vote on the
Company's proposed prepackaged plan of reorganization.  As part of
the prepetition solicitation, the Prepetition Secured Lenders and
the Prepetition Preferred Stockholder each received copies of the
Plan, the related disclosure statement and a ballot requesting
each of them to accept or reject the Plan.  On January 29, 2010,
the Company received ballots from the Prepetition Secured Lenders
and the Prepetition Preferred Stockholder accepting the Plan.

The Company was compelled to file for Chapter 11 relief as a
result of its inability to service its outstanding debt
obligations.  A number of factors, most notably the general
economic turmoil that occurred in the U.S. and global credit
markets in late 2008 and early 2009, as well as steeply declining
commodity prices and the Company's operating results, precluded
the Company from making a required interest payment of $446,361 to
its Prepetition Secured Lenders that was due on September 4, 2009.
At December 31, 2009, the Company's current liabilities grossly
exceeded its current assets by approximately $34.5 million.

As the Company proceeds with its financial restructuring, the
Company expects, based on current commodity prices, that its cash
on hand and cash from operating activities will be adequate to
fund its projected cash needs, including the payment of operating
costs and expenses.  In connection with the filing of the Chapter
11 Case, the Company asked the Bankruptcy court to consider
several "first day" motions on an expedited basis benefiting its
employees and vendors.  Importantly, the Company intends, under
the Plan, to pay all of its creditors, other than the Prepetition
Secured Lenders, in full, whether their claims arose prior to or
after the filing of the Chapter 11 Case, and to continue paying
its employees' salaries and benefits and to maintain its cash
management systems.

Upon consummation of the Plan, the Company will cease filing
periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and current holders of the Company's common stock will
share 5% of the new common stock issued by the reorganized
Company, on a pro rata basis.  Such "new" common stock will not be
listed for trading on any exchange.  The Plan also provides for
the Prepetition Secured Lenders to enter into a new $10 million
senior secured credit facility, and to receive securities in the
reorganized Company, consisting of new shares of senior preferred
stock and new common stock.  The Prepetition Preferred Stockholder
will receive new shares of junior preferred stock.

Cross Canyon Energy Corp., formerly doing business as ABC Funding,
Inc., filed for Chapter 11 on Jan. 29, 2010 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case
No. 10-20088 / 10-30747).  The petition says that assets and debts
range from $10,000,001 to $50,000,000. The Company has retained
Thompson & Knight LLP as legal counsel, and Grant Thornton LLP as
financial advisor.


CRUCIBLE MATERIALS: Ch. 11 Plan to Dole Out Asset Sale Proceeds
---------------------------------------------------------------
Crucible Materials Corp. has filed a proposed Chapter 11
liquidating plan.

Under the Plan, secured creditors would be unimpaired, unsecured
creditors would receive distributions from remaining funds and
equity holders won't be receiving anything.

The Plan was filed before the exclusive period to file a plan was
scheduled to expire on February 1.  The Debtors have not yet filed
a disclosure statement to explain in detail the terms of the Plan.

The Debtors have sought permission from the Bankruptcy Court to
delay the filing of the Disclosure Statement.  They noted that the
sale of their remaining assets closed on January 28 and they still
need to analyze the impact of the closing on anticipated creditor
recoveries.  They expect to file the plan outline by February 26.

A copy of the Liquidating Plan is available for free at:

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

$52 million.  Crucible sold (i) its compaction metals and research
divisions to Allegheny Technologies Incorporated for $40.95
million at an auction, (ii) its specialty metals division located
in Syracuse, New York, to Crucible Industries LLC, for $8 million,
and (iii) its service center in Romeoville, Illinois, to Erasteel
Inc., a unit of Eramet SA, for $2 million.  In January Crucible
Materials sold remaining assets for $13.2 million to SBI Trading

EDRA BLIXSETH: LeMond Mulls Challenging $8.5MM Bid for Property
---------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Brown at Bloomberg's BusinessWeek reports that John
Shaffer, Esq., the lawyer of Greg LeMond, told the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Missoula, Montana, at the end of a Friday hearing that
the three-time Tour de France winner and his in-laws plan to bid
on a 160-acre parcel of land in the Yellowstone Mountain Club.

BusinessWeek says the move could spark a bidding war with
CrossHarbor Capital Partners, Yellowstone Club's new owners.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on January 19, 2010,
Richard J. Samson, Esq., at Christian, Samson & Jones, Pllc, in
Missoula, Montana, the chapter 7 trustee appointed to oversee the
liquidation of the bankruptcy estate of Edra D. Blixseth, seeks
permission from the Bankruptcy Court to sell Ms. Blixseth's 160-
acre "family compound" at Yellowstone Club to CrossHarbor's CIP
Yellowstone Lending LLC for $8.5 million, subject to higher or
better offers.  The Chapter 7 Trustee seeks to sell the Property
free and clear of all Claims and Interests.

The purchase price consists of $500,000 cash and a credit bid for
$8 million.

According to the TCR, the Property does not include any membership
privileges in, or rights to use the facilities of, the Yellowstone
Mountain Club and CIP or any Successful Bidder will be required to
make separate application to the Yellowstone Mountain Club for
such membership privileges and, if accepted for membership, pay
any and all associated costs thereof to the Yellowstone Mountain
Club.

Dow Jones Newswires' Jacqueline Palank Blixseth creditor Greg
LeMond has argued CIP's offer is "paltry" compared to the
$56 million offer the would-be purchaser made just a few years
ago.  Ms. Palank said among Mr. LeMond's objections to the deal is
a lack of justification for the $8.5 million price tag, especially
given CIP's prior effort to nab the property.

"CIP was scheduled to pay $56 million for the family compound
approximately one and one-half years ago and secured the property
with $35 million in mortgages," Mr. LeMond said in court papers,
according to Ms. Palank.  "Clearly, CIP believes, and the property
is, worth much more than the paltry $8.5 million offer."

Ms. Palank in a separate report says CrossHarbor holds $35 million
in liens on the property in connection with loans it made Ms.
Blixseth, and its claim is senior to Mr. LeMond's.

BusinessWeek says the property includes two houses but is
considered more valuable for its development potential.

BusinessWeek says Mr. LeMond and in-laws David and Sacia Morris
own homes at the 13,600-acre resort and were among its original
members.  In 2006, they sued the Blixseths for cutting them out of
profits related to the Credit Suisse loan, eventually settling for
$39.5 million.

Ms. Palank reports Mr. LeMond's lawyer asked the Bankruptcy Court
to extend the sale process by 120 days so he has time to formulate
a bid.  But the judge didn't rule on the request at Friday's
hearing, Ms. Palank relates, so it's too soon to tell whether Mr.
LeMond will emerge victorious or just end up spinning his wheels.

Mirage and the Yellowstone Club in Montana.  Ms. Blixseth filed

ERICKSON RETIREMENT: BofA Wants Dallas Units to Have Own Committee
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bank of America, N.A., asks the Court to:

  (a) disband the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in
      the Chapter 11 cases of Erickson Retirement Communities LLC
      affiliates Dallas Campus, LP and Dallas Campus GP, LLC; or

  (b) reconstitute the Committee in Dallas LP's Chapter 11 case
      so that it is comprised of Dallas LP' unsecured creditors.

BofA is the administrative agent of the senior secured
prepetition revolving lenders of Dallas Campus LP.

Meagan Martin, Esq., at Spencer Crain Cubbage Healy & McNamara,
pllc, in Dallas, Texas, contends that there is no meaningful role
for a committee of unsecured creditors in Dallas LP's Chapter 11
case.  She notes that Dallas LP reported about $17 million in
assets and more than $144 million in secured debt in its
Schedules of Assets and Liabilities, $53.6 million of which is
owed to BofA and secured by a first-priority, all asset liens.
In contrast, the Committee represents creditors holding only
$20,042 in claims in Dallas LP' Chapter 11 case.  The $20,042
claims are unsecured and are junior to the $53.6 million senior
secured claim held by BofA, she further points out.  Since it is
clear that Dallas LP's assets are insufficient to pay BofA's
claim in full, Ms. Martin argues that it is highly unlikely that
unsecured creditors will receive any distribution in Dallas'
Chapter 11 case.

Ms. Martin further asserts that although the United States
Trustee for Region 6 adjusted the membership of the Committee,
that adjustment does not solve the problem.  She points out that
Morgan Stanley, the recently appointed member of the Committee is
not a creditor of Dallas LP; but is an affiliate of MSRESS III
Dallas Campus, L.P.  The MSRESS Subdebt Holder holds claims which
are expressly subordinate to the claims of BofA and thus, is not
eligible to serve on a committee in Dallas LP's Chapter 11 case,
she argues.

More importantly, Ms. Martin stresses that the Committee has
taken a litigious approach against BofA that cannot be justified
based on the relatively small aggregate claims of the unsecured
creditors and the unsecured creditors subordinated position in
Dallas LP's Chapter 11 case.  The only effect that the actions of
the Committee are likely to have, she points out, is that they
will derail the possibility of negotiations among the true
constituencies in Dallas LP's Chapter 11 case -- Dallas, BofA, a
single taxing authority, and the subordinated creditors.

Thus, BofA urges the Court to disband the Committee with regard
to Dallas LP.  However, if the Court finds that an unsecured
creditors' committee should remain in Dallas LP's Chapter 11
case, BofA insists that the creditors committee should be
comprised of creditors of Dallas LP whose claims are not
subordinate to claims of BofA.  If the U.S. Trustee cannot find a
sufficient number of true creditors of Dallas LP, the Committee
should be disbanded with respect to Dallas, BofA maintains.

Ms. Martin further notes that Dallas GP's liabilities are only
guaranty claims held by secured lenders and Dallas GP has no
unsecured creditors.  Thus, there can be no unsecured creditors'
committee with regarding to Dallas GP, she asserts.

ERICKSON RETIREMENT: Court Tackles Possible Global Mediation
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jernigan of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas convened a status conference on
January 22, 2010, to discuss the possibility of a global
mediation in the Chapter 11 cases of Erickson Retirement
Communities, LLC, and its debtor affiliates.

Before the January 22 status conference was held, the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors asserted that the framework
presented by the Debtors in light of a possible global mediation
was nothing like what actually transpired.

The Committee's counsel, Samuel M. Stricklin, Esq., at Bracewell
& Giuliani LLP, in Dallas, Texas, disclosed that the Committee's
professionals were gathered in a conference room for about eight
hours without having a single discussion with the project lenders
and corporate lender.  While the Debtors' advisors approached the
Committee for their settlement offer, the Committee has not
received an offer from the lenders or even had a single
discussion with any of the lenders with respect to the terms of a
settlement, he said.  Contrary to the Debtors' previous
assertions, Mr. Stricklin pointed out, the Debtors did not hold a
follow-up meeting during the week of January 18, 2010 if a
compromise could not be achieved.

The Committee thus complained that the Debtors' conduct belies
their objective of expediting these Chapter 11 cases for the
benefit of the retiree residents.  The Committee is also
perplexed how the Debtors can expect to achieve any good faith
compromise without a single meeting among all of the participants
to their "mediation," Mr. Stricklin related.  If a global
compromise is to be obtained in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, a
mediator should be appointed by the Court, the Committee
insisted.

The Committee thus urged the Court to require the Debtors to
produce all documents requested by the mediator to facilitate a
comprehensive analysis of the issues.  The Committee added that
its Motion for Proper Allocation of Value under the Debtors'
First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization should remain on a
parallel track.

In response to the Committee, the Debtors informed the Court that
since the entry of the January 14, 2010 order continuing the
status conference to January 22, 2010, they have made significant
progress toward achieving a global settlement of all the issues
between them and their creditor constituencies.  The Debtors
averred that they were able to:

  (a) facilitate an agreement reached by the "Corporate Revolver
      Lenders" and "Project Construction Lenders" regarding the
      allocation of the purchase price for the Debtors' assets
      and costs which will form the basis for a plan of
      reorganization;

      The Corporate Revolver Lenders consist of PNC
      Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, Sovereign Bank,
      Virginia Commerce Bank, Wilmington Trust FSB, First
      Commonwealth Bank, Commerce Bank, N.A., Sandy Spring Bank,
      Abington Bank, Hillcrest Bank, Provident Bank and Bank of
      America, N.A.  PNC Bank, National Association acts agent
      to the Corporate Revolver Lenders.

      The Project Construction Lenders consist of PNC Bank
      (Mercantile), Bank of America, N.A., Capmark Bank,
      Guaranty Bank, Commerce Bank (MO), Wilmington Trust FSB,
      Solutions Bank, Hillcrest Bank, Citizens Bank of
      Pennsylvania, Wachovia Bank, National Association, Sandy
      Spring Bank, Chevy Chase Bank FSB, The Bank of Glen
      Burnie, Provident Bank, Abington Bank, Univest National
      Bank & Trust Co., National Penn Bank, Legacy Bank, Key
      Healthcare Finance, Columbia Bank, Chesapeake Bank, Health
      Care Property Investors, Inc., Colonial Bank, Fifth Third
      Bank, and KeyBank National Association.  The agents acting
      on behalf of the Project Construction Lenders are
      Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Company, PNC Bank,
      National Association, Bank of America, N.A., Capmark
      Finance, Inc., and KeyBank National Association.

  (b) reach an agreement with HCP, Inc., HCP ER2, LP, HCP ER3,
      LP, and HCP ER6, LP, one of the Debtors' largest creditor
      constituencies, resolving three adversary proceedings
      commenced by the Debtors against the HCP Entities; and

  (c) establish a framework for resolution of the outstanding
      issues related to the secured parties on the Debtors'
      Dallas project with counsel for Texas A&M University and
      Bank of America, which counsels are awaiting responses
      from their clients.

The agreements with the Corporate Revolver Lenders and the HCP
Entities are subject to final approval by the involved parties
and confirmation of a plan of reorganization.  The Debtors expect
to file a motion seeking approval of the Agreement with the HCP
Entities pursuant to Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure.

Counsel to the Debtors, Vincent P. Slusher, Esq., at DLA Piper
LLP, in Dallas, Texas, related that the Debtors have negotiated
settlements with about 77% of their unsecured creditor
constituents since entry the January 14 Order, and have resolved
these issues related to each of these constituencies:

  (i) Campus Level Senior Debt;
(ii) Corporate Level Senior Debt;
(iii) Campus Sub Debt - HCP; and
(iv) Campus Sub Debt - Windsor.

Mr. Slusher disclosed that the only remaining objecting parties
preventing the Debtors from moving forward with the plan
solicitation and approval process are:

  (i) the Creditors' Committee;
(ii) Strategic Ashby Ponds Lender LLC and Strategic Concord
      Landholder, LP; and
(iii) MSRESS III Dallas Campus, MSRESS III Denver Campus, LLC,
      MSRESS III Kansas Campus, L.P.

The MSRESS III Lenders and the Strategic Entities are
subordinated, Mr. Slusher elaborated.  Thus, the Debtors estimate
that the Remaining Objectors represent less than 25% of all
unsecured claims and less than 4% of all unsecured non-
subordinated, non-insider, non-deficiency claims against the
Debtors.

Mr. Slusher stated that the Debtors have committed significant
time, energy and resources to reaching a global settlement since
the entry of the January 14 Order.  He related that the Committee
was present throughout the course of the eight-hour negotiations
and had several meetings with the Debtors' counsel.  During those
meetings, however, the Committee never provided an "ask" and
indicated they had no authority to negotiate a settlement, he
said.  As a result, the Debtors refocused their negotiation
efforts on reaching an agreement with key constituencies who were
both willing and able to assist the parties' in reaching a global
settlement, he noted.

"The appointment of a mediator at this stage -- after the Debtors
have already negotiated settlements with about 97% of their key
unsecured creditor constituents -- at the behest of these 'out of
the money' creditors would be a significant setback in these
Chapter 11 cases that would destroy any level of consensus the
parties have achieved," Mr. Slusher stressed.

Moreover, the Debtors believe that the appointment of a mediator
and the accompanying estimated four-month delay could cost their
estates up to $11 million in professional fees, debt service
payments and damages, he pointed out.  The Debtors thus believe
that appointing a mediator is neither necessary nor in the best
interests of their creditors or estates.

Judge Jernigan deferred the continuation of the Status Conference
to January 29, 2010, to further discuss the possibility of global
mediation depending on the progress/results of the global
settlement discussions that will occur among the Debtors and the
creditor constituencies.

ERICKSON RETIREMENT: Wells Fargo Wants No Committee for Warminster
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo Bank National Association asks the Court to enter an
order disbanding the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in
the Chapter 11 cases of Erickson Retirement Communities LLC
affiliates Warminster Campus, LP, and Warminster Campus, GP, LLC.

Wells Fargo is successor indenture trustee for the $81,945,000
Bucks County Industrial Development Authority Retirement
Community Revenue Bonds Series 2005A, Series 2005B-1, and Series
2005B-2.

William W. Kannel, Esq., at Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and
Popeo, P.C., in Boston, Massachusetts, notes that Warminster's
schedules of assets and liabilities reflect that $77,212 of more
than $375 million of unsecured claims could benefit from a
creditors committee.  These de minimis interests, he argues, are
not sufficient to justify a committee when any distribution of
funds a committee could extract for unsecured creditors through
litigation or otherwise would result in just 0.021% of that
distribution.  As to Warminster GP, the only scheduled
liabilities are guaranty claims held by lenders that are also
active in Warminster GP's Chapter 11 cases.  Thus, no unsecured
claims might benefit from a committee in Warminster GP's Chapter
11 case, he asserts.

Against this backdrop, the only effect the actions of the
Committee in the Warminster Debtors will have is the likely
increase of the cost of administration and a delay of the Chapter
11 process, Mr. Kannel points out.

More importantly, no member of the existing Committee is a
creditor of Warminster LP or Warminster GP and the Committee
cannot possibly be considered to be representing the interests of
the creditors of either Warminster Debtor, Ms. Kannel asserts.
He explains that Section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code provides
that only a creditor of a debtor may be a member of an unsecured
creditors' committee.  In this light, the Creditors Committee
lacks standing to participate as an official committee in the
Warminster Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases and should be disbanded as
it relates to these debtors, Mr. Kannel maintains.

FITNESS HOLDINGS: Can Access Pacific Western Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Barry Russell of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California approved the stipulation entered by
Fitness Holdings International, Inc. with Pacific Western Bank,
and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, further
extending its use of cash collateral to pay its employees'
compensation.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on January 4, 2010,
the Debtor hired two of its former employees Brandon Sugimoto and
Matthew Losciale as independent contractors to assist with
collecting upon the estate's tax refunds and receivables against
Wells Fargo Financing and to perform certain administrative
functions.

The secured lender and the committee consented to the retention of
the team, and further agreed to the Debtor's use of cash
collateral to pay limited amounts to the Debtor's professionals
for their services.

For general matters, the Debtor agreed to pay the Team, and a
third, part-time person $50,000 for a 6 week period, and to
reimburse their actual expenses up to $2,500 or any higher amount.
For collection matters, the Debtor agreed to pay the team 25% of
the gross proceeds recovered.

The Debtor related that the of cash collateral does not contain
any provision that:

   1) grants cross-collateralization protection to the prepetition
      secured lender;

   2. binds the estate or all parties-in-interest with respect to
      the validity, perfection, or amount of the secured lender's
      prepetition lien or debt or the waiver of claims against the
      secured lender;

   3. waives or limits the estate's rights under Section 506(c)
      of the Bankruptcy Code;

   4. grants to the prepetition secured lender liens on the
      Debtor's claims and causes of action;

   5. deems prepetition secured debt to be postpetition debt or
      that use postpetition loans from a prepetition secured
      creditor to pay or all of that secured creditors prepetition
      debt; and

   6. primes any secured lien.

The stipulation contains provisions for limited professional fee
carve outs for the Debtor's professionals, but not for the
professional retained by the Committee.

FONTAINEBLEAU LV: Icahn Buys Unfinished Resort for $156.1 Mil.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Carl Icahn won court approval to buy the bankrupt and unfinished
Fontainebleau Las Vegas casino resort for $156.1 million at a
hearing held January 27, 2010, Bloomberg News reports.

Icahn Nevada Gaming Acquisition LLC made the only qualified bid
for the 63-story Fontainebleau.  The November offer of
$156.5 million, now reduced by $400,000, set the minimum for an
auction that was canceled when no other qualified bids were
received.

"Anybody out there with a billion dollars in his pockets?" Judge
Cristol asked prior to approving the sale, notes the report.
"Going once, going twice, going three times."  Judge Cristol
banged his gavel and announced, "Sold to Icahn," relates
Bloomberg.

Lien holders in the bankruptcy case had objected to the sale being
free and clear of liens and claims.  However, by the Jan 27
hearing, all of the objections had been removed, according to a
report by The South Florida Business Journal.

Counsel for Fontainebleau, Scott Baena, Esq., at Bilzin Sumberg
Baena Price & Axelrod, LLP, in Miami, Florida, said he wished the
auction would have generated more money.  "Times and circumstances
have changed the value of the project," Mr. Baena said, noting
that he felt this was the best deal they could get under the
circumstances, reports the Florida Journal.

The deal is expected to close sometime next month.

The Las Vegas Sun says that Icahn offered $156 million in
cash and financing for the property, including $105 million in
cash and $51 million in financing, but Fontainebleau bankruptcy
lawyer Scott Baena said during the hearing that the cost of
financing is expected to be less as they move toward closing.

To recall, San Francisco real estate developer Luke Brugnara told
the Las Vegas Review-Journal in an e-mail he has submitted a
$170 million "all cash" offer with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Miami for the Fontainebleau project.  Review-Journal relates Mr.
Brugnara said he would pay up to $200 million for the
Fontainebleau project, and that he is backed financially by a New
York City hedge fund.

Penn National Gaming Inc. in November initially offered
$101.5 million for the project -- $50 million in cash and
$51.5 million in DIP financing.  Penn National raised its offer to
$145 million, but was topped by Carl Icahn.  Penn National
eventually pulled out of the bidding process.  "Penn came to the
conclusion there is not a lot of value to moving forward in the
process," The Wall Street Journal quoted Penn Spokesman Joe
Jaffoni as saying.

Craig Road Development Corporation, in a letter dated December 2,
2009, likewise informed the Court of its interest to acquire 100%
of the "Tier A" casino hotel and resort from Fontainebleau.  An
entity formed by CRDC and certain investors -- Heroes Property
Group, LLC -- will pay $350,000,000 for 100% of the Project's
equity, payable in cash at closing.  The letter, however,
indicated the Sellers would be responsible for retiring any funded
and interest bearing debt, including capital leases, of the
Project.  The Project's stock purchased by Heroes Property Group
will be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

Eventually, Carl Icahn emerged as the only qualified bidder for
Fontainebleau Las Vegas after two competing bids were deemed
unqualified, as reported by Jeffrey R. Truitt, the appointed
Chapter 11 Examiner in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

FONTAINEBLEAU LV: Lease Assumption Notice fore Icahn Sale
---------------------------------------------------------
Fontainebleau Las Vegas Holdings LLC and its units filed with the
Court a Notice of Icahn Nevada Gaming Acquisition LLC's (i) intent
to have assumed and assigned certain of the Debtors' executory
contracts and unexpired leases and (ii) acceptable cure costs
related to the assumption and assignment -- the "Confirmation
Notice".

The Confirmation Notice contains the final schedule of Confirmed
Agreements, and includes cure cost information relating to the
Confirmed Agreements.

A full-text copy of the Confirmation Notice is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/FB_IcahnConfirmationNO.pdf

Prior to the filing of the Confirmation Notice, the Debtors
informed the Court that they amended the list of executory
contracts and unexpired leases that they may assume and assign to
Nevada Gaming Acquisition LLC, pursuant to Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code -- the Assignment Notice.  The list was amended to
correct the contracting party entity name listed in the third
contract on page three of Exhibit A of the Assignment Notice.

                        Objections

These entities filed oppositions against the Debtors' notice of
intent to assume and assign certain executory contracts and
unexpired leases and cure costs, and to Icahn's notice of intent
to pay cure costs of $0:

(a) Southwest Gas Corporation,
(b) JBA Consulting Engineers, Inc.,
(c) Lochsa Engineering,
(d) Bergman, Walls & Associates, Ltd.,
(e) TMCx Nevada, LLC,
(f) YWS Architects, Ltd.,
(g) RLI Insurance Company, and
(h) Aztech Inspections & Testing, LLC

Southwest Gas is a party with the Debtors to an Incremental
Natural Gas Facilities Agreement.  Southwest Gas asserts that if
the Agreement is rejected, it will draw on the letter of credit to
pay certain costs which are reimbursable under the Agreement.
According to Southwest Gas, if the Agreement is assumed, Icahn
must pay the costs to provide a replacement letter of credit in
accordance with the Agreement as a "cure" and as adequate
assurance of future performance. The replacement letter of credit
must be in the full amount required under the Agreement which is
$754,672.

YWS Architects, Ltd., TMCx Nevada, LLC, Bergman, Walls &
Associates, Ltd., Lochsa Engineering, and JBA Consulting
Engineers, Inc. say the cure costs acceptable to Icahn fails to
cure the default under their individual agreements with the
Debtors, and fails to provide adequate assurance that the default
will be promptly cured.  JBA Consulting adds that the Debtors have
failed to provide a vehicle to ensure adequate assurance of prompt
cure.

Aztech Inspections & Testing, LLC objects to the proposed cure
amount of $0, and demands payment of $666,977 to cure the
arrearages as a condition to the assumption of the Aztech
Agreement by Icahn.

RLI Insurance Company asserts that the notice and opportunity to
object as provided in the Notices is woefully inadequate and
prejudices RLI's rights to adequately and appropriately respond.
RLI was not listed as a creditor or party-in-interest in the
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases and was not listed as having an
executory contract with the Debtors in their Schedules of Assets
and Liabilities.  RLI says it received the Notices on January 22,
2010, and January 25, 2010, and promptly undertook to employ
counsel, however, the Notices did not afford adequate time to
respond prior to the deadline deadline.  Accordingly, RLI asks the
Court to extend the Objection Deadline and authorize the filing of
its Objection as falling within the Objection Deadline to allow
the issues RLI has identified to be determined on the merits
rather than through an implicit default.

FONTAINEBLEAU LV: Stipulation Resolving Sec. 2.2(B) Election
------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Las Vegas Retail Parent,
LLC, Fontainebleau Las Vegas Retail Mezzanine, LLC, and
Fontainebleau Las Vegas Retail, LLC, -- the Retail Sellers or
Debtors -- have agreed to sell, among other things, a Retail Real
Property and all rights under certain Assumed Contracts and
Assumed Leases, including the Retail Master Lease, the Retail
Leaseback and the COREA.

For the avoidance of confusion, the Retail Real Property is
defined in Section 1.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement as "all of
the property rights of each Retail Seller in any portion of the
Owned Real Property, including (a) any rights of the Retail Seller
as lessee under the Retail Master Lease in an air rights parcel of
approximately 286,500 square feet located within a portion of the
Owned Real Property, and any right of the Retail Seller to convert
the leasehold interest into fee simple title, and (b) all
easements granted to the Retail Seller under the COREA."

Pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Debtors and the Retail Debtors -- the Sellers -- may, in their
sole discretion, at any time on or prior to the date that is five
Business Days before the Closing Date, elect not to sell the
Retail Real Property and treat the Specified Retail Agreements as
Eliminated Agreements that would not be purchased by the Icahn
Nevada Gaming Acquisition LLC.

The Sellers; Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., in its capacity as
lender and as the agent for the Retail Lenders; and The Union
Labor Life Insurance Company, National City Bank, and Sumitomo
Mitsui Banking Corporation -- the Retail Lenders -- consent to the
asset sale contemplated pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement,
subject to the terms of a Stipulation which was approved by the
Court.

As agreed, the Sellers agree that they will not, under any
circumstance, at any point on, prior to, or after the Closing,
make the Section 2.2(b) Election, and pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Bankruptcy Code, at the Closing, the
Retail Sellers will sell to Icahn, free and clear of any
Encumbrances of any kind, other than Permitted Encumbrances,
substantially all of the assets owned by the Retail Sellers,
including these assets owned by the Retail Sellers:

  (a) the Retail Real Property,
  (b) the Retail Master Lease,
  (c) the Retail Leaseback, and
  (d) any interests of the Retail Sellers in the COREA.

The Sellers agree that any Specified Retail Agreement will not,
under any circumstance, at any point on, prior to, or after the
Closing, be treated as an Eliminated Agreement under the Asset
Purchase Agreement and that no Seller will seek to reject, or
support the rejection of any agreement that is currently
designated as a Specified Retail Agreement.

The Sellers agree that they will not amend the Asset Purchase
Agreement in any manner or enter into any agreement, agreed order,
or stipulation with any other party that would contradict or void
the agreements contained in the Stipulation.

On the Closing, the lien or liens of the Agent and the Retail
Lenders will attach to the proceeds of the sale received by the
Sellers pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement; provided,
however, nothing in the Stipulation is intended to, or will
prejudice or affect, or constitute a finding or determination with
respect to the position of any party, including the Retail
Lenders, regarding (a) the extent of the interests of any party-
in-interest in the Sale Proceeds, (b) the proper allocation of the
Sale Proceeds between the Retail Debtors and the Resort Debtors,
(c) the value of any assets or any interest in any assets sold by
the Retail Sellers or the Resort Sellers pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement or (d) the lien priority of any party-in-
interest, including the Retail Lenders, in or with respect to the
Sale Proceeds, all of which are expressly reserved for future
determination by the Bankruptcy Court.

FORD MOTOR: Resumes Vehicle Production in China
-----------------------------------------------
China Daily reports that a joint venture partner of Ford Motor Co.
resumed making buses in China after determining that the gas pedal
assembly doesn't have the same problem that forced a recall of
millions of Toyota vehicles.

The Wall Street Journal's Matthew Dolan has reported that Ford
Motor has stopped production of a full-size commercial vehicle in
China after discovering that the gas pedal used came from the
supplier involved in the recall at Toyota Motor Co.  The Journal
reported that Ford spokesman Said Deep indicated the production
halt affects the diesel version of Ford's full-size Transit
Classic commercial vehicle that Ford makes in China with one of
its joint-venture partners, Jiangling Motors Corp.

The Journal noted Ford said that so far there have been no reports
in China of Ford drivers experiencing the same type of
uncontrolled acceleration problems that prompted Toyota to issue a
massive recall and halt sales of most of its popular models in the
U.S.

As widely reported, Toyota said it is suspending the U.S. sale and
production of eight models involved in an earlier recall.  Those
models account for more than half its U.S. deliveries and include
top-selling Camry and Corolla cars.

FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR: S&P Affirms 'B-' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
Austin, Texas-based Freescale Semiconductor Inc. to stable from
negative.  S&P also affirmed the 'B-' corporate credit rating and
all issue ratings on the company.

"While leverage remains very high, the company has achieved
positive free cash flow generation in the quarter just ended,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lucy Patricola, "and S&P
believes Freescale will continue to generate modest free cash flow
in 2010, allowing it to preserve liquidity."  Further, the absence
of maintenance covenants and debt maturities in the near term
provide an offset to high leverage.

GREEKTOWN CASINO: Terminates Isle of Capri Consulting Agreement
---------------------------------------------------------------
Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., on Tuesday said it has, together with

terminate the proposed agreement under which Isle of Capri would
provide transitional marketing and operational consulting services
to Greektown Hotel-Casino in Detroit, Michigan, through the

process.

January 22, 2010, of a plan of reorganization to exit Greektown
Casino-Hotel from bankruptcy.  Upon exiting from Chapter 11
reorganization, the property will be under new ownership and
management.

Isle of Capri said, "In light of the recent confirmation of the
plan of reorganization and Greektown's expected exit from
bankruptcy in the coming months, it became clear to our company
and Greektown that the short-term transitional consulting services
that we were to provide may not represent the most expeditious
course of action for Isle of Capri or Greektown Casino.  Moving
forward, Isle of Capri remains committed to its belief that it can
have a positive impact on existing properties and its own balance
sheet by utilizing the extensive experience of its management team
through management and consulting contracts in gaming markets
across the United States."

HARBORWALK LP: Taps Bracewell & Giuliani as Bankruptcy Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------------

Court for the Southern District of Texas to employ Bracewell &

     (a) advise the Debtors with respect to their rights, duties
         and powers in the Chapter 11 cases;

     (b) assist the Debtors in analyzing the claims of creditors
         and in negotiating with the creditors;

     (c) represent the Debtors in all matters involving disputes
         with creditors or other parties in interest;

     (d) advise and represent the Debtors in all matters related
         to their efforts to reorganize their business affairs;

Bracewell will be paid based on the hourly rates of its personnel:

         Dan Witschey, Partner           $720
         William A. Wood, Partner        $675
         Marcy E. Kurtz, Partner         $650
         Heather Brown, Partner          $615

         Danielle Kruger, Associate      $325
         Laura L. Venta, Associate       $275
         Gale W. Gattis, Paralegal       $210

Marcy E. Kurtz, a partner with Bracewell, assures the Court that
the firm is "disinterested" as that term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Hitchcock, Texas-based Harborwalk, LP, Harborwalk Marina Operating
Company, Ltd., and Harborwalk Sales Corporation filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on January 25, 2010 (Bankr. S.D. Tex.
Case No. 10-80043).  Marcy E. Kurtz, Esq., at Bracewell & Giuliani
LLP, assists Harborwalk in its restructuring effort.  The Company
listed $10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in assets and $10,000,001 to
$50,000,000 in liabilities in its petition.


HARBORWALK LP: Wants Schedules Filing Deadline Moved to March 2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Harborwalk, LP, et al., have asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Texas to extend by an additional 21 days,
to March 2, 2010, the deadline to file schedules of assets and
liabilities, statements of financial affairs, and schedules of
executory contracts and unexpired leases.

The Debtors are currently required to file their schedules and
statements by February 9.  The Debtors say that the size of the
Chapter 11 cases, the number of Debtors and the volume of material
that must be compiled and reviewed by the Debtors' very limited
staff to complete the schedules and statements for each of the
Debtors during the hectic early days of these Chapter 11 cases
provide ample cause justifying, if not compelling, the requested
extension.  According to the Debtors, they have a total of 10
employees and of these 10 employees, only the bookkeeper is able
to assist the Debtors' management in preparing the schedules and
statements.  The Debtors' management has been devoting significant
time to (i) acquiring post-petition financing for the Debtors; and
(ii) increasing operations to normal levels with the assistance of
post-petition financing, thus further minimizing the time
available to complete the schedules and statements.

$50,000,000 in liabilities in its petition.


HCA INC: Expects to Report $216MM Net Income for Fourth Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
HCA Inc. said it expects revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009
will be approximately $7.605 billion, a 4.7% increase from $7.265
billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Net income attributable to
HCA Inc. for the fourth quarter of 2009 is anticipated to be
approximately $216 million, compared to $276 million in the fourth
quarter of 2008.  Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2009
is expected to total approximately $1.343 billion compared to
$1.237 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, salaries and benefits, supply
expense and other operating expenses, are expected to approximate
$5.633 billion, compared to $5.192 billion in the fourth quarter
of 2008.  Provision for doubtful accounts in the fourth quarter of
2009 is expected to approximate $693 million, or 9.1 percent of
revenues, compared to $889 million, or 12.2 percent of revenues,
in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The reduction in the provision for
doubtful accounts was primarily the result of an increase in
charity care and uninsured discounts which are expected to total
$1.499 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to
$1.007 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Same facility
uninsured admissions increased 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter
and comprised 6.4 percent of total admissions compared to 6.5
percent in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Same facility admissions are expected to reflect an increase of
1.2 percent while same facility equivalent admissions are expected
to increase by 2.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared
to the fourth quarter of 2008.

For the fiscal year 2009, revenues are expected to approximate
$30.052 billion, compared to $28.374 billion in 2008.  Net income
attributable to HCA Inc. is expected to approximate $1.054 billion
for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $673 million for
2008.  Adjusted EBITDA is expected to approximate $5.472 billion
compared to $4.574 billion for 2008.

Also, on January 27, 2010, the Board of HCA Inc. declared a
distribution to the Company's stockholders and vested option
holders of record on February 1, 2010, to be paid on February 5,
2010.  The aggregate amount of the distribution is approximately
$1.75 billion.  The distribution will be funded through funds
available under the Company's existing asset-based and general
revolving credit facilities and cash on hand.

The Company expects long-term debt at December 31, 2009 to
approximate $25.670 billion, a decrease of $2.738 billion from
December 31, 2006, following the completion of the Company's
recapitalization in November 2006.  The Company's estimated
leverage ratio at December 31, 2009, as measured by the ratio of
long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA, is 4.7x.  On a pro forma basis,
to reflect the $1.75 billion distribution, the Company's estimated
leverage ratio would be 5.0x.  In comparison, the Company's
leverage ratio was 6.4x as of December 31, 2006.

HCA plans to announce its complete fourth quarter and fiscal year
2009 results on February 18, 2010.

                             About HCA

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.

                            *    *    *

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 2, 2010,
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.


HCA INC: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Rating at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed HCA Inc.'s credit ratings:

  -- Issuer Default Rating at 'B';
  -- Secured Bank Credit Facility at 'BB/RR1';
  -- First Lien Notes at 'BB/RR1';
  -- Second Lien Notes at 'B+/RR3';
  -- Senior Unsecured Notes at 'CCC/RR6'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.  Total rated debt at Sept. 30, 2009,
was approximately $26.9 billion.

The rating action follows HCA's announced special dividend of
$1.75 billion payable to shareholders.  Fitch expects the special
dividend to be funded by cash on hand and borrowings from the
company's $2 billion senior secured asset-based revolving credit
facility and $2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility,
both maturing in November 2012.  Despite the expected rise in
total debt and compression of liquidity from credit facilities
borrowings, Fitch believes HCA's credit profile will remain
consistent with the current rating category.  However, the
dividend leads Fitch to expect that HCA will likely continue to
use much of its excess liquidity to return cash to shareholders,
which will limit its flexibility within the 'B' ratings category.

HCA's financial profile has benefited from debt reduction in
excess of $1 billion throughout the first nine months of 2009 as
well as strengthening EBITDA leading to a moderation of gross debt
leverage to 4.8 times for the latest 12-month period ending
Sept. 30, 2009, from 5.9x at the end of 2008.  HCA recently noted
an expectation of $25.67 billion of total debt at the end of 2009.

HCA's ratings reflect the company's significant leverage and
challenging industry environment, partially offset by improvements
in the company's operations.  In addition, HCA's operations have
continued to improve as a result of cost management efforts,
strong same-facility admissions growth (including its eighth
consecutive quarter of positive same-facility adjusted admissions
growth reported for the third quarter of 2009), and new emergency
room coding efforts.  Fitch, however, expects the recent cost
benefit to the hospital industry stemming from improved labor
costs will likely moderate, once unemployment improves.

Key rating concerns include the large amount of debt maturing in
the next several years, continued shareholder-friendly
transactions and an uncertain industry environment.  Industry
uncertainty is being driven by stubbornly high unemployment
leading to prolonged pressure on bad debt expense as well as the
potential for health care reform, which could have an (positive or
negative) impact on the sector.  Finally, Fitch notes that an exit
by HCA's private equity sponsors through, for example, an initial
public offering could have an impact on its credit profile.


HEIDTMAN MINING: Wants to Sell Assets to Coal America for $15MM
---------------------------------------------------------------
Heidtman Mining, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Arkansas to approve the sale of assets free
and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances pursuant to
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

With the help of Resultant Management Group, L.L.C., and its
affiliate, the John T. Boyd Company, as marketing consultants, the
Debtor reached an agreement with Coal America Corporation, a
Nevada corporation, for the purchase of substantially all of the
Debtor's mining assets.

Pursuant to the agreement:

   -- at closing, Coal America will pay to the estate these:

      a. $15,000,000; and

      b. certain costs and expenses incurred by the Debtor prior
         to closing.

   -- in addition, at closing Coal America will issue to the
      Debtor's estate 5 million shares of preferred stock at $5
      par value per share (face value $25,000,000).  These shares
      will pay a 6% annual dividend to the Debtor's estate
      ($1,500,000 annually).

   -- Coal America will purchase all of the Debtor's assets and
      will lease on a 50 year term (subject to another 50 year
      extension) the Debtor's coal interests.  It will pay
      certain royalties to be defined in the asset purchase
      agreement.

   -- Coal America will assume the Debtor's executory contracts
      and leases, and will pay on a going forward basis the
      royalties and other contract obligations to, for example,
      Wilkem and Asarco.

The Debtor relates that Coal America is scheduling a final site
inspection of the mine in the next few weeks, but has advised the
Debtor that it has completed its due diligence.  Upon completion
of the site inspection, it will make a $1 million deposit to
secure its performance of the sale.  The sale is expected to close
at the end of March 2010.

Upon closing, the Debtor adds that it will propose a plan to
distribute the sale proceeds per the priorities in the Bankruptcy
Code, and will begin the process of reviewing and resolving claims
against the estate.

The sale to Coal America is subject to higher and better offers at
an auction.  Deadline for submission of bids is at 5:00 p.m. (CST)
on February 12, 2010.

For more information on the sale transaction, contact:

  Geroge H. Tarpley
  Cox Smith Matthews Incorporated
  Tel: (214) 698-7818

The Debtors proposes a hearing on the sale motion on February 19,
2010, at 9:00 a.m.(CST) at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Arkansas, Federal Building, 35 E. Mountain
Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

                       About Heidtman Mining

Toledo, Ohio-based Heidtman Mining, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 on
June 12, 2009 (Bankr. W.D. Ark. Case No. 09-72912).  George H.
Tarpley, Esq., Marcus Jermaine Watson, Esq., at Cox Smith Matthews
Incorporated; and Mark W. Hodge, Esq., at Chisenhall, Nesturd &
Julian, represent the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.  The
Debtor estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and
$50 million to $100 million in debts in its bankruptcy petition.


IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT: To be Delisted From Nasdaq Stock Market
------------------------------------------------------------
Image Entertainment, Inc., had received a letter from The Nasdaq
Stock Market notifying the Company of the Nasdaq Hearing Panel's
determination to deny the Company's request for continued listing
on Nasdaq and to delist the Company's common stock.  The Company
previously requested and participated in a hearing before the
Nasdaq Hearing Panel on January 20, 2010, to appeal the delisting
determination of the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market Listing
Qualifications Department.  The letter indicated that the
Company's common stock will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq
effective at the open of business on Wednesday, February 3, 2010.

Following the delisting, the Company currently expects that its
common stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheets, a centralized
electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities, so
long as market makers demonstrate an interest in trading in the
Company's common stock.  No assurance can be given that the market
makers will continue to make a market in the Company's common
stock or that the Company's common stock will be quoted on the
Pink Sheets.

The Company currently does not intend to deregister its common
stock with the SEC.  Accordingly, it will continue to file
periodic, quarterly and annual reports with the SEC.

In addition, on January 27, 2010, the Company received a Nasdaq
Staff Deficiency Letter citing violations of Nasdaq Listing Rules
related to the Company's issuance of 3.5 million shares of common
stock on January 8, 2010, to the holder of its senior secured
convertible note due 2011 in exchange for $10,000 in principal
amount of the note.  Those violations include Listing Rules
5635(d) and 5250(e)(2) relating to the issuance of 20% or more of
the pre-transaction shares at a discount to market value without
obtaining shareholder approval, and the failure to timely file a
Notification Form Listing of Additional Shares with respect to the
shares issued in the exchange.  The Staff determined to aggregate
the exchange and the Company's previously announced sale of Series
B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock that also closed on
January 8, 2010, and that did not comply with Listing Rules
5635(d), 5635(b) and 5640.  The Staff's determination to aggregate
the exchange with the preferred stock financing was based on the
timing, use of proceeds and the fact that the transactions were
all part of the same financing plan.

As previously announced, on January 8, 2010, the Company closed
the sale of preferred stock to certain affiliates of JH Partners,
LLC, a San Francisco-based private equity firm focused on building
sustainable, long-term equity value in consumer and marketing-
driven growth companies, (the "Investors") for an aggregate
purchase price of $22.0 million.  The Company used a portion of
the net proceeds from the sale, along with the issuance of shares
of common stock, to repay in full and retire its senior secured
convertible note due 2011.  The remainder of the net proceeds will
be used to repay other outstanding indebtedness and outstanding
liabilities and for general working capital.  As a result of the
transaction, the Investors acquired control of the Company and a
new board of directors and management team were appointed.

IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES: Has Fifth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Imperial Industries, Inc., and the assignee for the benefit of
creditors of its subsidiary, Just-Rite Supply, Inc., entered into
a Fifth Amendment to its Forbearance Agreement with its commercial
lender to extend the terms of the credit facility from January 29,
2010 to April 30, 2010.  The Fifth Amendment provides for the
lender's continued funding under the credit facility,
notwithstanding the Company's and assignee's past non-compliance
of certain terms set forth in the Forbearance Agreement as
previously amended, subject to an existing maximum credit of

of payment terms of $10,000 per week for certain Just-Rite lease

approximately $77,000.  The Company is a guarantor of such lease
obligations.

ITC DELTACOM: S&P Assigns 'B-' Rating on $325 Mil. Senior Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B-'
issue rating and '5' recovery rating to Huntsville, Alabama-based
competitive local exchange carrier ITC DeltaCom Inc.'s proposed
$325 million senior secured notes due 2016.  S&P also assigned
a 'BB-' issue rating and '1' recovery rating to ITC's new
$30 million revolving credit expiring in 2015.  While the revolver
and the notes are expected to be guaranteed and secured by
essentially all the assets of the borrower and its subsidiaries,
the revolver is expected to be contractually senior to the notes
in the event of enforcement of the security.

At the same time, S&P raised ITC's corporate credit rating to 'B'
from 'B-'.  While S&P raised the rating on the existing term loan
and revolving credit of subsidiary InterState FiberNet Inc. to 'B-
' from 'CCC+', this debt, along with unrated second-lien bank
debt, will be refinanced with the proceeds of the new issue and
S&P will withdraw these ratings when the refinancing closes.  The
outlook is stable.  Pro forma for the refinancing, the company
will have about $325 million of total funded debt outstanding.

"The corporate credit rating upgrade is due to several factors,"
explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Catherine Cosentino,
"including S&P's expectation that the company will operate at net
free cash flow break-even to positive levels on a sustained
basis."  In addition, ITC has demonstrated that even in a weak
economic climate, its base of business has remained relatively
stable, and its profit margins have improved, due largely to the
positive effects of the incremental capital associated with its
recent network upgrade and associated movement of more traffic to
these lower cost, on-net facilities.  Further, the risk of special
access re-pricing with the expiration of the BellSouth merger
condition is mitigated by the fact the company has already
migrated to negotiated agreements with BellSouth for most of its
loop connections.  S&P also does not expect leverage to exceed 4x
over the next few years, given expectations for flat-to-modest
low-single-digit EBITDA growth over the next few years.

"While the existing credit profile supports the upgrade, the
refinancing does provide some benefits," added Ms. Cosentino,
"including the removal of restrictive maintenance covenants and an
improved maturity schedule."  S&P expected the company to continue
to meet financial covenants under the current term loan, which
tighten in 2010.  However, the new notes contain no maintenance
covenants and the revolving credit maintenance covenants will only
be in effect upon a draw of this facility, providing the company
more flexibility to weather execution errors or an unforeseen drop
in the base of business.  The new notes also improve the company's
overall liquidity by extending maturities of a significant portion
of the company's debt from 2013 to 2016.


JACUZZI BRANDS: Moody's Changes Default Rating to 'Caa2/LD'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has revised the probability of default
rating of Jacuzzi Brands Corporation to Caa2/LD from Caa2 and
raised the corporate family rating to Caa1 from Caa2.  These
actions follow the completion of a recapitalization on January 22,
2010 which raised $56 of new capital for Jacuzzi and exchanged
$175 million of second lien debt for equity of the company.
Moody's deems the exchange of the second lien debt to be a
distressed exchange.  The "LD" designation has been temporarily
added to the probability of default rating to denote the limited
default that occurred on Jacuzzi's second lien debt.  The "LD"
designation will be removed approximately three days after the
rating action.  The ratings outlook has been changed to stable
from negative.

The Caa1 corporate family rating reflects Jacuzzi's post-
recapitalization financial leverage, which remains high, solid
cash interest coverage metrics and weak ongoing end-market
fundamentals.  Specifically, Jacuzzi's bath and spa products are
discretionary and therefore continue to be pressured by weak,
albeit stabilizing, demand due to reduced housing starts and
repair and remodeling expenditures in the U.S. and Europe.
Moody's added that while it may take some time to restore margins
to historical levels, Jacuzzi earnings are beginning to reap the
benefits from headcount reductions and other restructuring actions
taken in 2009.

The stable outlook reflects the improvement in Jacuzzi's capital
structure following the recapitalization and an adequate liquidity
profile which benefits from the equity infusion, good ABL
availability and favorable financial covenant terms in its loan
agreements.  Further, the stable outlook reflects a meaningful
reduction in interest expense, although cash interest will remain
at similar levels as 2009 since second lien interest was being
paid-in-kind.

These ratings were changed:

* Corporate family rating upgraded to Caa1 from Caa2; and
* Probability of default rating revised to Caa2/LD from Caa2.

These ratings were affirmed:

* $167 million senior secured first lien term loan B, due 2014, at
  B3 (LGD2, 28%) (from 29%) and

* $15 million synthetic letter of credit facility, due 2014, at B3
  (LGD2, 28%) (from 29%).

This rating was withdrawn:

* Caa3 (LGD5, 79%) rating on the $175 million second lien term
  loan, due 2014

The last rating action was on March 19, 2009, when the corporate
family rating was downgraded to Caa2 from B3.

Jacuzzi Brands Corporation, headquartered in Chino Hills,
California, is a leading global producer of premium branded water
therapy and water comfort products for the residential remodeling
and construction markets.  Affiliates of Apollo Global Management,
LLC remain major investors in Jacuzzi following the
recapitalization.

JAPAN AIRLINES: To Decide on U.S. Alliance This Month
-----------------------------------------------------
Japan Airlines will announce its decision by February whether it
wants to forge alliance with Delta Air Lines Inc. and AMR Corp.'s
American Airlines, according to a report from The Nikkei Business
Daily.

The Center for Asia Pacific Aviation, citing the Japanese Mainichi
newspaper, said JAL has dumped its alliance with American Airlines
and oneworld in favor of Delta and SkyTeam.  The Japanese flagship
carrier, however, denied the news.

Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. of Japan, which is
overseeing JAL's restructuring program, estimates the Delta/JAL
alliance as driving JPY9.2 billion or US$102 million in benefits,
rising to JPY17.2 billion or US$191 million if the carriers
receive antitrust immunity -- some three times the reported
benefits flowing from JAL's alliance with American Airlines,
according to the Mainichi Newspaper.

The report added that oneworld members, led by American Airlines,
have been vigorously lobbying to retain JAL in the grouping and
had offered to invest US$1.4 billion in JAL and strengthen
cooperation with core members.  Delta offered a total
US$1.02 billion in financial support to JAL, including
US$500 million in new investment, but offers of foreign financing
for JAL have been declined by ETIC, the report said.

Delta chief executive Richard Anderson, during a conference call
on January 26, 2010, said they continue to seek a tie-up with JAL.
In an official statement, Delta confirmed that it "has been in
discussion with JAL in hopes of forming a strategic SkyTeam
partnership that would provide significant benefits for JAL and
all of its stakeholders."

MarketWatch, citing The Yomiuri Shinbun, had reported that as of
January 15 Delta has reached an agreement with JAL "on a
comprehensive tie-up that mainly features code-sharing flight
services," noting that both airlines "are likely to officially
sign the deal after it's endorsed by new JAL top management to be
inaugurated after the JAL group applies for the application of
the Corporate Rehabilitation Law."

      American Airlines Warns Fight if JAL Switches Alliance

American Airlines warned JAL that it will face a messy fight if it
switches allegiance and forms a close partnership with Delta, The
Chicago Tribune said.

American Airlines, according to the report, would lose a longtime
partner in JAL, which links the U.S. carrier's passengers to a
host of cities within Japan and northern Asia, and would find
itself a bit player in the northern Pacific market.  The report
added that although American expects to prevail in its cause, its
chief executive officer, Gerard Arpey, ridiculed the notion that
Delta and JAL quickly could gain antitrust approval for a venture
that would control about 60% of the market.

           U.S. Yet To Decide on JAL Antitrust Immunity

If Japan Airlines decides on an alliance with either Delta or
American, it will need to file antitrust immunity with U.S.
authorities.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has informed the Japanese
Government that it has yet to decide on whether to grant antitrust
immunity to a potential alliance between JAL and an American
carrier, the MarketWatch cited the Nikkei.  The U.S. Department
also said it could not offer any guarantees of immunity, according
to the report.

Responding to Japanese media reports suggesting that the U.S. and
Japan had pre-arranged to approve antitrust applications, the U.S.
Government said it could block antitrust immunity applications
from Japan's carriers, The Wall Street Journal said citing a U.S.
Department of Transportation memo.

JAPAN AIRLINES: U.S. Court Issues Injunction on Creditor Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge James M. Peck of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York granted Japan Airlines Corporation, Japan
Airlines International Co., Ltd., and JAL Capital Co., Ltd.,
preliminary injunction to protect them from creditor actions or
lawsuits in the U.S. as they reorganize in their main bankruptcy
proceedings in Tokyo, Japan.

Prior to the U.S. Court's entry of the preliminary injunction
order, the Debtors amended their proposed preliminary injunction
order to incorporate the provisions agreed to by the Debtors to
resolve informal responses to the Application that the Debtors
received.

Beginning January 27, 2010, and continuing until the date of the
entry of the U.S. Court of a recognition motion:

  (a) the protections of Sections 361 and 362 of the Bankruptcy
      Code apply with respect to the Debtors and their property
      in the territorial jurisdiction of the United States;

  (b) the Foreign Representative is established as the Debtors'
      representative with full authority to administer their
      assets and affairs in the United States, including,
      without limitation, making payments on account of their
      prepetition and postpetition obligations;

  (c) the Foreign Representative is entrusted with the
      administration or realization of all or part of the
      Debtors' assets in the United States, including, without
      limitation, all of the Debtors' assets that may have been
      transferred to parties in the United States;

  (d) all persons and entities are enjoined from seizing,
      attaching or enforcing or executing liens or judgments
      against the Debtors' property in the United States or from
      transferring, encumbering or otherwise disposing of or
      interfering with the Debtors' assets or agreements in the
      United States without the express consent of the Foreign
      Representative;

  (e) all persons and entities are enjoined from commencing or
      continuing, including the issuance or employment of
      process of, any judicial, administrative or any other
      action or proceeding involving or against the Debtors or
      their assets or proceeds thereof that are located in the
      United States, or to recover a claim or enforce any
      judicial, quasi-judicial, regulatory, administrative or
      other judgment, assessment, order, lien or arbitration
      award against the Debtors or their assets or proceeds
      thereof that are located in the United States; and

  (f) the Foreign Representative has the right and power to
      examine witnesses, take evidence or deliver information
      concerning the Debtors' assets, affairs, rights,
      obligations or liabilities.

The Foreign Representative, in connection with his appointment as

representative" in the Chapter 15 Cases; and the Debtors, are
granted the full protections and rights available pursuant to
Section 1519(a)(1)-(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to Rule 65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
made applicable to the Chapter 15 Cases pursuant to Rule 7065 of
the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, no notice to any person
is required prior to entry and issuance of the Order.

The Court authorized the banks and financial institutions with
which the Debtors maintain bank accounts or on which checks are
drawn or electronic payment requests made in payment of
prepetition or postpetition obligations to continue to service and
administer the Debtors' bank accounts without interruption and in
the ordinary course and to receive, process, honor and pay any and
all checks, drafts, wires and automatic clearing house transfers
issued, whether before or after the Petition Date and drawn on the
Debtors' bank accounts by respective holders and makers thereof
and at the direction of the Foreign Representative or the Debtors,
as the case may be.

The Foreign Representative having confirmed that it has elected in
accordance with applicable Japanese insolvency law to assume,
accept, validate and perform the Debtors' obligations under the
Debtors' interline agreements and clearinghouse agreements and
billing and settlement agreements administered by the
International Air Transport Association (IATA), the IATA Clearing
House, Airlines Clearing House, Inc. and Universal Air Travel
Plan, Inc., the Debtors and the Foreign Representative, as the
case may be, are authorized to perform in accordance with the
Industry Agreements, including without limitation (a) to honor and
pay outstanding prepetition and postpetition claims arising in the

to process customary payments and transfers and to honor customary
transfer requests made by Debtors and other participants pursuant

Order to Show Cause with Temporary Restraining Order, the
provisions of Sections 362 and 1520 of the Bankruptcy Code are
modified, nunc pro tunc to January 19, 2010, solely to the extent
necessary to permit performance of, and under, the Industry
Agreements by the Debtors and other parties to the agreements and
by financial institutions involved in implementing the agreements.

The Debtors are asking the U.S. Court to recognize their Japan
Proceeding as a "foreign main proceeding" as defined in Section
1502(4) of the Bankruptcy Code and Eiji Katayama, Esq., at Abe,
Ikubo & Katayama, as "foreign representative" as defined in
Section 101(24) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless otherwise extended
pursuant to Section 1519(b).

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Barclays Urges Dismissal of "Windfall" Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
Barclays Plc. urged a judge to throw out a lawsuit by Lehman
Brothers Holdings Inc.'s bankruptcy estate alleging that it reaped
a secret $5 billion profit from its rushed September 2008 purchase
of the company's U.S. brokerage.

Separately, Barclays PLC objected Friday to attempts by Lehman
Brothers to modify a sale agreement between the companies,
rejecting as "frivolous" allegations that it acquired Lehman's
assets in a fire sale and accusing the debtor of trying to avoid a
contractual obligation to pay another $3 billion, according to
Law360.

                       About Lehman Brothers

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. -- http://www.lehman.com/-- was the
fourth largest investment bank in the United States.  For more
than 150 years, Lehman Brothers has been a leader in the global

governmental units, institutional clients and individuals
worldwide.

(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-13555).  Lehman's bankruptcy petition
listed US$639 billion in assets and US$613 billion in debts,

LIBBEY INC: Prices $400 Million Senior Secured Notes
----------------------------------------------------
Libbey Inc. said that its wholly owned subsidiary Libbey Glass
Inc. has priced $400 million aggregate principal amount of 10%
senior secured notes due 2015 in a private placement.  The Notes
will be sold at a price equal to 98.082% of their face value.  The
sale of the Notes is expected to close on February 8, 2010,
subject to customary closing conditions.

Libbey Glass intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Notes, together with cash on hand, to:

   * repurchase its existing $306 million Floating Rate Senior
     Secured Notes due 2011 in a previously announced tender
     offer;

   * repay its $80.4 million Senior Subordinated Secured Payment-
     in-Kind Notes due 2021; and

   * pay related fees and expenses.

The sale of the Notes is contingent upon the entry into a new
$110 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility
by Libbey Glass and its direct wholly owned subsidiary Libbey
Europe B.V., as borrowers, and Libbey and certain of Libbey Glass'
existing and future subsidiaries as guarantors.

The Notes will be senior secured obligations of Libbey Glass and
will be guaranteed by Libbey and all of Libbey Glass' existing and
future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of Libbey Glass'
indebtedness or any indebtedness of any subsidiary guarantor. The
Notes and the guarantees of the Notes will be secured by first-
priority liens on substantially all the owned property, equipment
and fixtures in the United States of Libbey Glass, Libbey and the
subsidiary guarantors and by second-priority liens on the tangible
and intangible assets in the United States of Libbey Glass, Libbey
and the domestic subsidiary guarantors that secure their
obligations under the new credit facility described above, subject
to certain exceptions.

Based in Toledo, Ohio, since 1888, Libbey operates glass tableware
manufacturing plants in the United States in Louisiana and Ohio,
as well as in Mexico, China, Portugal and the Netherlands.  Libbey
supplies tabletop products to foodservice, retail, industrial and
business-to-business customers in over 100 countries.  In 2008,
Libbey Inc.'s net sales totaled $810.2 million.

                            *    *    *

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 1, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its 'B'
corporate credit rating on Toledo, Ohio-based Libbey Inc.  The
outlook is stable.

LYNNE CURTIN: Mulls Bankruptcy Amid $1.26 Million Court Judgment
----------------------------------------------------------------
Richard K. De Atley at The Press-Enterprise reports actress
Lynne Curtin of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" TV show
and her husband Frank might declare bankruptcy as they face a
$1.26 million court judgment.

Press-Enterprise says Ms. Curtin said their "The Real Housewives
of Orange County" salary "Just gets us by.  Most people think we
get $100,000 an episode -- that's not us.  I wish it was."

Press-Enterprise says the judgment against the Curtins is over
real estate development deals gone sour.  Bankruptcy is "an option
to consider . . . they need to talk it over," said the couple's
attorney, Franklin Casco Jr., Esq., according to Press-Enterprise.

The suit was filed by real estate investor Mercury Manzano, Press-
Enterprise reports.


LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Judge Won't Expand Examiner Work
---------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber entered a formal order on
January 27, 2010, denying the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors' request to expand the scope of duties or investigation
of Jack F. Williams, the appointed Examiner in the Debtors'
Chapter 11 cases.

Judge Gerber opined that the Examiner has completed the
investigation previously approved by the Court and has given no
cause for concern as to the Debtors' conduct.  Judge Gerber
further held that there has been no showing of a further need in
the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases for the Examiner to fill.

Thus, for reasons set forth on the record at a January 19, 2010
hearing, Judge Gerber ruled that no cause exists to expand the
scope of the Examiner's investigation or duties.

                     About Lyondell Chemical

LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,
petrochemicals and fuels companies.  It is the global leader in
polyolefins technology, production and marketing; a pioneer in
propylene oxide and derivatives; and a significant producer of
fuels and refined products, including biofuels.  Through research
and development, LyondellBasell develops innovative materials and
technologies that deliver exceptional customer value and products
that improve quality of life for people around the world.
Headquartered in The Netherlands, LyondellBasell --
http://www.lyondellbasell.com/-- is privately owned by Access
Industries.

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

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary
AP Services LLC, serves as restructuring advisors.  AlixPartners'
Kevin M. McShea acts as the Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer.
Clifford Chance LLP serves as restructuring advisors to the
European entities.  Lyondell Chemical estimated that consolidated
assets total US$27.12 billion and debts total US$19.34 billion as
of the bankruptcy filing date.

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

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

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Parties File Plan Confirmation Objections
------------------------------------------------------------
A number of parties complain that the Disclosure Statement
explaining Lyondell Chemical Co.'s Second Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization contains inadequate information concerning crucial
aspects of the Amended Plan pursuant to Section 1125 of the
Bankruptcy Code:

-- the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors,

-- Ad Hoc Committee of Bridge Loan Claimants,

-- ConocoPhillips Company,

-- Wilmington Trust Company,

-- Law Debenture Trust Company of New York,

-- insurance companies,

-- United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
    Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International
    Union,

-- H&S Constructors, Inc.,

-- GIM Channelview Cogeneration, LLC and GIM Retail Energy, LLC,
    and

-- Personal Injury Claimants.

Absent the changes, the Objecting Parties ask the Court to deny
approval of the Disclosure Statement.

(a) Creditors' Committee

The Creditors' Committee asserts that the Debtors' request for
approval of the Disclosure Statement is premature because the
Amended Plan and the Disclosure Statement are predicated on the
Court's approval of a Lender Litigation Settlement entered between
the Debtors and the Ad Hoc Group of Senior Secured Lenders.

The Committee's counsel, Steven D. Pohl, Esq., at Brown Rudnick
LLP, in Boston, Massachusetts, argues that the Disclosure
Statement fails to explain how unsecured creditors will be
involved in oversight of the litigation trust or the method of
selecting the litigation trustee under the Amended Plan.  These
provisions, he says, deprive the Committee and general unsecured
creditors of their right to influence the action the Committee
commenced against the Debtors' prepetition secured lenders and
officers from and after the confirmation date of the Amended Plan.
More importantly, Mr. Pohl asserts that the Debtors should
disclose the status of interest that Reliance Industries, Ltd.,
and the terms of Reliance's latest offer so that creditors can
understand the basis for the Debtors' current position not to
proceed with a Reliance plan.  Reliance is willing to support a
plan that has a reserve for the Committee Action, which would
address the Debtors' major stumbling block in confirming a plan
that is not supported by their lenders, he points out.

Among others, the Committee seeks explanation of the treatment of
holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Debtors
that are obligors under the a Bridge Loan Agreement and an
August 10, 2005 indenture for 8.375% senior notes due 2015 in the
principal amounts of $615 million and EUR500 million, which
treatment seems to suggest substantive consolidation.  The
Committee also wants the Debtors to state in the Disclosure
Statement the amount of payments made to creditors within the
applicable preference period under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  Based on the Debtors' Statement of Financial Affairs, about
$7.5 billion of payments were made by the Debtors during the 90-
day period ending on the Petition Date, Mr. Pohl notes.

Should the Court approve the Disclosure Statement, the Committee
seeks the Court's permission to provide a letter enclosure to the
Disclosure Statement reflecting the Committee's views, including
the right to make a recommendation to vote against acceptance of
the Plan.

(b) Ad Hoc Committee

An ad hoc committee of claimants under a December 20, 2007 Bridge
Loan Agreement composed of FCCD Ltd., FCCO Ltd., and Cerberus
Series Four Holdings LLC complains that it is unable to derive
from the Disclosure Statement information adequate to determine
the value of the Debtors, and the precipitous collapse in the
Debtors' value over the course of 2009.  Had the Debtors
maintained the valued found by the Court in February 2009, the
Senior Secured Lenders would be compensated in full, and the
lenders under the Bridge Loan Agreement would receive significant
distributions, Ross S. Barr, Esq., at Jones Day, in San Francisco,
California, counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee, contends.  As
fiduciaries to their various clients, the Bridge Loan Claimants
seek to understand the valuation described in the Disclosure
Statement and its implications for their recovery, he insists.

The Bridge Loan Claimants hold claims against certain non-Debtors
and Debtors, amounting to $8.3 billion.

(c) ConocoPhillips

ConocoPhillips cites these critical failures to the Disclosure
Statement that leave creditors without sufficient information to
evaluate the Amended Plan:

  (a) lack of sufficient information regarding the Committee
      Action and the Litigation Trust, including details as a
      complete list and description of the claims asserted in
      the litigation, the likelihood of recovery, and the
      management of the Litigation Trust;

  (b) lack of information or explanation regarding potential
      dilution of unsecured creditor claims against the Obligor
      Debtors by inclusion -- within the unsecured creditor
      class -- of claims based on the 2015 Notes and claims
      against certain Debtors that are not Obligor Debtors;

  (c) no disclosure of details of the offer received from
      Reliance Industries for a controlling interest in the
      Debtors, including price, terms, or potential impact on
      creditor recoveries;

  (d) no information regarding the disposition of the Debtors'
      estates' Chapter 5 causes of action, and the preferential
      or fraudulent transfer actions in connection with Debtor
      LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A. and Access Industries-
      related entities;

  (e) no disclosure of whether the Debtors' estates will have
      the cash on hand to pay what is likely to be large number
      of Section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code claims; and

  (f) no disclosure or discussion of the basis for the Amended
      Plan's de facto substantive consolidation.

(d) Wilmington Trust

Wilmington Trust, as indenture trustee for holders of the 2015
Noteholders, insists that the Disclosure Statement failed to fully
and accurately describe these matters:

  (a) the dispute between Wilmington Trust and the 2015
      Noteholders, and the Debtors and the holders of debt
      imposed on the Debtors in connection with a December 20,
      2007 leveraged acquisition of Lyondell Chemical Company,
      concerning:

      -- the validity and enforceability against Wilmington
         Trust and the 2015 Noteholders under a Intercreditor
         Agreement dated December 20, 2007, that purports to
         subordinate the 2015 Notes to the LBO Debt; and

      -- that the LBO Debt was imposed in violation of the 2015
         Indenture and the related intercreditor agreement dated
         August 1, 2005;

  (b) the December 2007 Intercreditor Agreement and its effect
      on the treatment of the claims of the 2015 Noteholders;

  (c) the issues regarding the validity under applicable
      domestic and foreign law of the methodology to be employed
      to obtain the proposed release of European Non-Debtor
      guarantees of the 2015 Notes and the permanent injunction
      that seeks to enjoin all 2015 Noteholders, wherever they
      are located, from enforcing their claims against the non-
      Debtors; and

  (d) the effect of applicable European laws on the
      enforceability of the LBO Debt incurred by the European
      non-Debtor affiliates of the Debtors, including the
      avoidability of the LBO Debt under these laws, and the
      resulting recoveries that would accrue to the 2015
      Noteholders under the guarantees provided by Non-
      Debtors in favor of the 2015 Noteholders.

Wilmington Trust's counsel, John Ashmead, Esq., at Seward & Kissel
LLP, in New York, argues that $615 million in principal amount and
EUR500 million are outstanding under the 2015 Notes.  As the 2015
Notes represent about 50% of the Debtors' unsecured debt, the
Debtors must provide full and accurate disclosure to the 2015
Noteholders, he asserts.

(e) Law Debenture

Law Debenture disagrees with the allowance of the 2015 Note Claims
and sharing in any distributions made from the Litigation Trust.
Even if allowed in full, the 2015 Notes Claims should not be
entitled to any recovery from the Litigation Trust, Law
Debenture's counsel, Lewis S. Rosenbloom, Esq., at Dewey & Leboeuf
LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, argues.

Mr. Rosenbloom contends that treatment of the 2015 Notes Claims
under the Amended Plan may violate the good faith and best
interests of creditors' tests under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  Pursuant to subordination/turnover and enforcement
provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement, the 2015 Notes Claims
should be precluded from any recovery under the Amended Plan.  Per
the Debtors' "mapping analysis," holders of the 2015 Notes Claims
should be precluded from recovery until payment of claims at the
subsidiary Debtors, he argues.  The Disclosure Statement omits
debt limitation provisions incorporated in a November 27, 1996
Millennium Indenture, the Bridge Loan Agreement and the Senior
Secured Credit Agreement, which may impact recoveries to holders
of Claims against Debtors Millennium Specialty Chemicals, Inc.;
Millennium Petrochemicals, Inc.; Millennium America, Inc., and
Millennium Chemicals, Inc., he stresses.

Law Debenture is indenture trustee to holders of certain notes
aggregating more than $241 million, issued by Millennium America
and guaranteed by Millennium Chemicals.

(f) Insurance Companies

In separate filings, Fireman's Fund Insurance Company and about 24
insurance companies, Westchester Fire Insurance Company and Mt.
McKinley Insurance Company formerly known as Gibraltar Casualty
Company and Everest Reinsurance Company formerly known as
Prudential Reinsurance Company complain that the Disclosure
Statement fails to provide basic and meaningful information about
the mechanics -- and the associated risks to the extent that
payment of claims under the Amended Plan depends on the
availability of insurance proceeds.

The Disclosure Statement purports that the Debtors and Reorganized
Debtors will have the exclusive authority to object to, and
ultimately resolve, Claims under the Amended Plan in violation of
the Insurers' contractual rights under the relevant insurance
policies issued to the Debtors, Michael Smith, Esq., at Frantz
Ward, LLP, in Cleveland, Ohio, counsel to Fireman's Fund, points
out.  He further contends that the Disclosure Statement fails to
state how the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors intend to
provide the Insurers with adequate assurance of future performance
with respect to any Insurance Agreements that are being assumed
under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

A list of the 24 Insurers who object to the Disclosure Statement
is available for free at:

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

Westchester Fire insists that the $250 million bonds issued and
the Debtors' related obligations under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act and other applicable state law must
be addressed in the Disclosure Statement.

In another filing, Mt. McKinley Insurance and Everest Reinsurance
Company formerly known as Prudential Reinsurance Company clarify
that all insurance policies that might have provided coverage for
lead poisoning liabilities incurred in the Debtors' numerous sites
in the United States have been rescinded by a settlement agreement
entered among the Debtors, Mt. McKinley and Everest Reinsurance in
November 1998.

Mutual Marine Office, Inc., joins in the objection of Mt. McKinley
and Everest Reinsurance to the Disclosure Statement.

(g) USW

USW alleges that the Debtors inaccurately describe the status of
the collective bargaining agreement it entered with Houston
Refining and mischaracterize a decision by the National Labor
Relations Board with respect to that relationship.  The USW thus
asks that a language stating that its disagreement with Houston
Refining's representations with respect to the status of the
collective bargaining agreement and the meaning of the NLRB's
determinations be inserted in the Disclosure Statement.  The USW
further asks that the Debtors list the adversary proceeding it
commenced against Houston Refining in the Disclosure Statement.

(h) H&S Constructors

H&S Constructors argues that it falls under Class 6 of the Amended
Plan.  In this light, the Disclosure Statement should make it
explicit who the Debtors believe is in Class 6 by listing these
creditors in an exhibit to the Disclosure Statement by name, and
summarizing what property they have a lien on, H&S Constructors
asserts.  H&S Constructors further complains that the Disclosure
Statement does not tell creditors in Class 6 how and when they
will paid and what interest rate, if any, is proposed to be paid
on their claims.

(i) GIM Entities

The GIM Entities insist that the Disclosure Statement should
provide information on the (i) the terms of any financing the
Debtors will need to confirm the Amended Plan and exit bankruptcy,
and (ii) the executory contracts and leases that the Debtors will
assume under the Amended Plan.  The information requested is
important to the GIM Entities because certain of Debtor Equistar
Chemicals, L.P.'s integrated contracts and leases with the GIM
Entities restrict Equistar's ability to grant liens on a parcel of
land leased by Equistar from the GIM Entities' predecessor, Robert
J. Dehney, Esq., at Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, argues.  He explains that these covenants
are designed to protect the GIM Entities' half a billion dollar
investment in a cogeneration facility in Channelview, Texas, he
points out.

(j) PI Claimants

In separate filings, individual tort victims from a crane collapse
in July 2008, in Debtor's Houston Refining, LP's property, and
Aaron and Tisha Palms contend that the Disclosure Statement fails
to provide adequate information regarding the Debtors' insurance
policies that provide coverage for their injuries.  The Crane
Accident Victims initiated an action against Houston Refining and
other parties in the 60th Judicial District Court of Jefferson
County, Texas.  The Palms commenced an action against Houston
Refining in the 164th Judicial District Court of Harris County,
Texas.

The PI Claimants assert that no information is given regarding the
Amended Plan's effect on their Actions.  The PI Claimants disclose
that they each attempted to obtain clarification from the Debtors
as to the proposed status and disposition of the relevant
insurance policies, but have not received any response.

                     About Lyondell Chemical

LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,
petrochemicals and fuels companies.  It is the global leader in
polyolefins technology, production and marketing; a pioneer in
propylene oxide and derivatives; and a significant producer of
fuels and refined products, including biofuels.  Through research
and development, LyondellBasell develops innovative materials and
technologies that deliver exceptional customer value and products
that improve quality of life for people around the world.
Headquartered in The Netherlands, LyondellBasell --
http://www.lyondellbasell.com/-- is privately owned by Access
Industries.

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

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary
AP Services LLC, serves as restructuring advisors.  AlixPartners'
Kevin M. McShea acts as the Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer.
Clifford Chance LLP serves as restructuring advisors to the
European entities.  Lyondell Chemical estimated that consolidated
assets total US$27.12 billion and debts total US$19.34 billion as
of the bankruptcy filing date.

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

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

Bankruptcy Creditors' Service, Inc., publishes Lyondell Bankruptcy
News.  The newsletter tracks the Chapter 11 proceeding undertaken
by Lyondell Chemical Company and its various affiliates.

MCCLATCHY COMPANY: Compensation Panel Approves 2010 Bonus Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The
McClatchy Company approved the 2010 Senior Executive Retention
Bonus Plan to reward certain senior executive officers including
some of the named executive officers for their efforts towards
stabilizing the Company's financial outlook following a period of
significant economic turmoil.

Under the Retention Plan, Eligible Officers will receive
additional cash compensation for 2010 should the Company's
performance in operating cash flow for 2010 be sufficient to fund
a supplemental contribution by the Company under the Company's
401(K) Plan, as determined by the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will
administer the Retention Plan and determine whether the criteria
for retention bonus payments have been satisfied.

The Retention Plan does not apply to the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company. The following named executive officers are
eligible to receive Bonus Payments in the following amounts:

  Named Executive Officer Title              Bonus Payment
  ----------------------- -----              -------------
Frank Whittaker           Vice President,    $175,000
                          Operations

Bob Weil                  Vice President,    $175,000
                          Operations

Pat Talamantes            Vice President,    $160,000
                          Finance and Chief
                          Financial Officer

If the conditions set forth in the Retention Plan are met, the
Bonus Payments will be payable by March 15, 2011.  In order to
receive a Bonus Payment, Eligible Officers must remain employed by
the Company or an affiliate of the Company on the Payment Date
unless the Eligible Officer's employment terminated due to (i)
death, (ii) disability as defined by the Company's 401(K) Plan,
(iii) early retirement under the Company's Retirement Plan, or
(iv) involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good
reason each as defined by the Retention Plan.

McClatchy also owns a portfolio of premium digital assets,
including 14.4% of CareerBuilder, the nation's largest online job

                            *     *     *

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 29, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service placed The McClatchy Company's Caa2
Corporate Family Rating, Caa2 Probability of Default Rating and
Caa3 senior unsecured note ratings on review for possible upgrade.
In addition, Moody's assigned a (P)B1 rating to McClatchy's
proposed $875 million senior secured notes due 2017 and a (P)B1
rating to the extended portion of its amended credit facility.

The review follows McClatchy's announcement that it has obtained
an amendment to extend the maturity on approximately 90% of its
credit facility by two years to July 2013, launched the offering
for the proposed senior secured notes, and launched a tender offer
for all of its 7.125% notes due 2011 and 15.75% senior unsecured
guaranteed notes due 2014 at premiums to par (including early
participation/consent payments).  McClatchy plans to utilize the
net proceeds from the note offering to fund an approximate 60%
paydown of extending credit facility instruments, and the note
tender offers.  Moody's believes the transactions would
meaningfully improve the company's liquidity position and reduce
near term default risk and this drives the review for upgrade.

MIDWAY GAMES: Redstone, Midway Board Dodge Fiduciary Breach Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that a federal judge has killed breach of fiduciary

before it filed for Chapter 11.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Midway Games Inc. (OTC Pink
Sheets: MWYGQ) -- http://www.midway.com/-- was a leading

Victoria A. Guilfoyle, Esq., at Blank Rome LLP, in Wilmington,

Esq., at Blank Rome LLP, in New York, represent the Debtors in

Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in a sale approved by the Court.
The aggregate gross purchase price is roughly $49 million,

MOOSEHEAD FURNITURE: Can Access Unsecured Credit from Principals
----------------------------------------------------------------
Furniture Today reports that Moosehead Furniture can access, on an
interim basis, up to $10,000 in unsecured credit from its
principals Joshua Tardy, Dana Connors and Edward Skovron, to pay
for premiums on casualty and liability insurance required by its
bank.  A final hearing is set later this month.

Mooshead Furniture Co. makes furniture.  It filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy to avert an auction that would liquidate its assets.


NATURAL PRODUCTS: Wilmington Acting as Agent, Not A Creditor
------------------------------------------------------------
Wilmington Trust disclosed that it is not a creditor to Natural
Products Group, LLC (Natural Products), which filed for Chapter 11
protection on January 27, 2010 in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware.

Recent news reports may have led readers to believe that
Wilmington Trust is providing credit to Natural Products.  In
fact, Wilmington Trust is not a lender to Natural Products,
despite the bankruptcy filing's listing of Wilmington Trust among
Natural Products' largest unsecured creditors.  Wilmington Trust
is serving as agent for holders of approximately $215 million of
debt issued by Natural Products. Wilmington Trust has no credit
exposure, unsecured or otherwise, to Natural Products or any of
its subsidiaries.  Through its CCS business, Wilmington Trust is
paid a fee for providing these services.  The bankruptcy filing of
Natural Products has no effect on Wilmington Trust's balance
sheet, credit quality, or financial condition.

Wilmington Trust's CCS business offers institutional trustee,
agency, asset management, retirement plan, and administrative
services for clients worldwide who use capital market financing
structures, as well as those who seek to establish or maintain
nexus, or legal residency, for special purpose entities.  Because
Wilmington Trust does not underwrite securities offerings or
provide investment banking services, it is able to deliver
corporate trust services that are conflict-free.

                       About Wilmington Trust

Wilmington Trust Corporation is a financial services holding
company that provides Regional Banking services throughout the
mid-Atlantic region, Wealth Advisory services to high-net-worth
clients in 36 countries, and Corporate Client services to
institutional clients in 89 countries.  Its wholly owned bank
subsidiary, Wilmington Trust Company, which was founded in 1903,
is one of the largest personal trust providers in the United
States and the leading retail and commercial bank in Delaware.

agreements that would settle their claims against American
Express Company, Cardmember Services and several municipalities.

Under the deal, the Debtors agreed to accept lump sum payments
for the settlement of their claims in the lawsuits they filed
against American Express, Cardmember Services, Hanover Park
District and the municipalities of Kenosha, Lockport, Wauconda,
Town of Firestone, Aurora, and Sturtevant.

The Debtors previously sued the municipalities to demand refunds
of permit fees and cash bonds, which the Debtors paid in
connection with their various residential developmental projects
in those municipalities.  The Debtors asserted that the funds
should be returned since the projects have not been completed.

The Debtors also filed lawsuits against Hanover Park to demand
payment of impact fees totaling $9,529, and against American
Express and Cardmember Services to recover avoidable transfers
totaling $36,910.

The Debtors agreed to accept these payments under the Settlement
Agreements:

    Defendants                     Amount
    ----------                   ---------
    The City of Kenosha           $35,428
    The City of Lockport           $7,840
    The Village of Wauconda        $4,875
    The Town of Firestone          $3,250
    The City of Aurora            $11,088
    Village of Sturtevant          $1,911
    Hanover Park Park District     $4,764
    American Express Company      $13,358
    Cardmember Services            $7,644

In return for the payments, the Debtors are required to file
stipulations in Court to dismiss the lawsuits.

without charge at:

In connection with the Settlements, the Debtors also ask the
Court to approve payment of attorney fees to Keating & Shure Ltd.
aggregating $36,063, which represents 40% of the total settlement
amount.

Keating & Shure was hired by the Debtors to pursue their claims
against the Defendants in return for a contingent fee of proceeds
collected in relation to the claims.

Kenosha City Attorney Ed Antaramian said the fees Neumann Homes
wants refunded include building permit applications for
structures that were not built, park and water utility impact
fees for houses that were not built, re-inspection fees for
houses that were in the process of being built and bonds for
street, driveway and sidewalk work, according to a report by
Kenosha News.

Neumann Homes' initial estimate of what was owed to it was about
$55,000.  Kenosha City, however, conducted its own review of what
was owed to Neumann Homes and estimated the costs at about
$35,000, the news report noted.

"We went through with a fine tooth comb and we kept some of the
money because we did expend effort for some plan reviews,"
Kenosha News quoted Mr. Antaramian as saying.  He further said
that The Kenosha Water Utility will also pay back some fees to
Neumann Homes.

The Court will hold a hearing on February 17, 2010, to consider
approval of the Settlement Agreements.  Deadline for filing
objections is February 12, 2010.

NEUMANN HOMES: Seeks Confirmation of Liquidation Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
Neumann Homes Inc. and its affiliated debtors ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois to confirm
their joint plan of liquidation.

The Debtors aver that the Liquidation Plan represents the
culmination of their extensive efforts and those of the concerned
parties to reach a fair and equitable resolution of various
issues concerning their Chapter 11 cases.

"Those efforts have resulted in a Plan that maximizes value and
potential recoveries for the Debtors' creditors," George
Panagakis, Esq., at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, in
Chicago, Illinois, counsel to the Debtors, says in court papers.

The Plan has been "well received," according to Mr. Panagakis.
Majority of the class of creditors holding general unsecured
claims, the only class entitled to vote on the Plan, voted to
accept the Plan, he notes.

A report on the Plan voting results prepared by Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions LLC, the Debtors' solicitation agent, shows that 86.32%
of the Debtors' general unsecured creditors accepted the Plan
while only 13.68% voted to reject the Plan.

Copies of a report on the Tabulation Results and a report of all
votes included in the tabulation are available without charge at:

   http://bankrupt.com/misc/Neumann_FinalVoteTabulation.pdf
   http://bankrupt.com/misc/Neumann_ReportVotes.pdf

Mr. Panagakis also informs the Court that the Debtors have
resolved some of the plan objections and are currently engaged in
talks to settle the remaining plan objections.

The plan objections were filed by a group of lenders, government
agencies, municipalities and the U.S. Trustee for Region 11 to
ensure that the Plan will not prejudice their rights on real
properties that have been or will be disposed of by the Debtors,
and to preserve their right to be heard at the confirmation
hearing, among other things.

The Debtors have already resolved the objections lodged by
IndyMac Ventures LLC and Bank of America N.A.; they are still
seeking to negotiate proposed modified Plan language to settle
the objections of Comerica Bank and Compass Bank, according to
Mr. Panagakis.

In response to the objections raised by The Illinois Department
of Revenue, the Douglas County Treasurer and the U.S. Trustee,
the Debtors have proposed modifications to the Plan that resolve
most, if not all, of the issues raised by the parties, Mr.
Panagakis adds.  The government agencies each filed objections
identifying certain Plan drafting omissions regarding the
treatment of tax claims and seeking clarification on some
statutory requirements.  The U.S. Trustee, meanwhile, complained
about the inconsistency of the provisions in the Plan with
respect to the discharge of claims against the Debtors.

Moreover, the Debtors relate that they are currently in talks
with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and the local officials of the
municipalities of Antioch, Wonder Lake and Gilberts to settle
certain plan objections.

"As plainly evidenced by the highly favorable results of the Plan
voting and the paucity of objections filed in large and complex
chapter 11 cases such as these, the Plan is in the best interests
of the Debtors' estates, creditors and other stakeholders," Mr.
Panagakis tells the Court.

Paul Andrews, chief restructuring officer of Neumann Homes, says
that proposed liquidation of Neumann Homes under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code is more beneficial to the creditors than a
liquidation under Chapter 7.

"The Plan allows the Debtors' remaining assets to be efficiently
administered and grants the liquidation trust administrator the
right to object to claims and to pursue claims and causes of
action of the Debtors and their estates," Mr. Andrews avers in a
declaration filed in Court.

The Debtors' estates, Mr. Andrews point out, would incur the
costs of payment of a statutorily allowed commission to the
Chapter 7 trustee and the costs of counsel and other
professionals retained by the trustee if their bankruptcy cases
would be converted to proceedings under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code.  "The Debtors believe such amount would exceed
the amount of expenses that would be incurred in implementing the
Plan and winding up the[ir] affairs," he points out.

Conversion would also likely delay the liquidation process and
the distribution to unsecured creditors considering the time and
expense it would take to provide for an orderly transition to a
Chapter 7 trustee, according to Mr. Andrews.

No other viable alternative that would allow the Debtors to
emerge from Chapter 11 with the recoveries equal to or greater
than those projected for creditors under their proposed Chapter
11 Plan, Mr. Andrew relates.

The Debtors also filed in Court a copy of their proposed order
confirming their Joint Plan of Liquidation, a copy of which can
be obtained for free at:

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

The Confirmation Hearing in the Debtors' cases was suppose to
have commenced last January 27, 2010.  No further developments on
the matter have been made available in the Court dockets as of
press time.

NFR ENERGY: Moody's Assigns Corporate Family Rating at 'B3'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned NFR Energy LLC a B3 Corporate
Family Rating and a Caa1 rating to its offering of $250 million
senior notes due 2017.  The proceeds from the notes issuance will
be used to repay a $50 million second lien term loan facility and
outstanding borrowings on its senior secured revolving credit
facility.  The rating outlook is stable.

"NFR's ratings reflect its high concentration in East Texas and
its current production and developed reserves size which is small
relative to similarly rated E&P companies," commented Pete Speer,
Moody's Vice President.  "However, the company's credit profile is
supported by its comparatively low leverage and competitive cost
structure."

NFR is an exploration and production company jointly owned by
subsidiaries of Nabors Industries Ltd. and private equity funds
advised by First Reserve Corporation.  The company's property base
is concentrated in natural gas in the Cotton Valley Sand and
Haynesville Shale formations in East Texas, accounting for
approximately 81% of production and 95% of total proved reserves.
The remaining production and reserves are located in the Bear Paws
Uplift in Montana and Uinta Basin in Utah, and the company holds
acreage in the Bakken Shale in North Dakota.

The B3 CFR reflects NFR being at an early stage in its
development, with production and proved developed reserves volumes
that are smaller than most B3-rated peers, and limited geographic
diversification.  The company's total proved reserves at year end
are estimated to be approximately 1,002 Bcfe using the new SEC
rules, which demonstrates the potential of its acreage.  However,
the very high proportion of proved undeveloped reserves will
require an estimated $1.3 billion of additional capital investment
to bring those reserves to production.

The company's low leverage compared to similarly rated peers,
experienced management team and competitive costs to date support
the B3 CFR.  NFR has a limited track record developing its core
Cotton Valley and Haynesville acreage.  The company plans to
continue its rapid production growth, which will require
significant additional borrowings over the coming years.  In order
for the company to maintain leverage metrics at current levels,
the production response from capital investment will need to meet
the company's forecasts.

NFR has hedged a high proportion of its forecasted 2010 and 2011
production at prices meaningfully above current spot prices, which
supports its cash flows to partially fund its capital
expenditures.  Following the notes offering the company expects to
have approximately $175 million of availability under its senior
secured revolving credit facility, which should provide sufficient
borrowing capacity to fund its planned 2010 capital expenditures
while maintaining adequate liquidity over the remainder of this
year.

The Caa1 senior unsecured notes rating reflects both the overall
probability of default of NFR, to which Moody's assigns a PDR of
B3, and a loss given default of LGD 5 (74%).  Following the notes
issuance the company expects to have at least a $200 million
borrowing base under its $400 million senior secured revolving
credit facility.  The senior secured credit facility will have a
priority claim to substantially all of the company's assets and
therefore the senior unsecured notes are notched one rating
beneath the B3 CFR under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.

This is the initial rating action on NFR.

NFR Energy LLC is a privately held independent exploration and
production company based in Houston, Texas.

ORLEANS HOMEBUILDERS: Amends Revolving Credit Loan Agreement
------------------------------------------------------------
Orleans Homebuilders, Inc., announced that on January 25,
2010, the Company executed a third limited waiver letter to its
$375 million Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan
Agreement dated September 30, 2008.  This Waiver Letter
effectively amends the definition of "Borrowing Base Availability"
to reflect the borrowing base certificate filed on December 15,
2009 (as of November 30, 2009) throughout the Third Limited Waiver
Extension period.  In addition, under the terms of the Waiver
Letter, the Credit Facility size was reduced from $375 million to
$350 million, the maximum cash covenant was reduced from
$12 million to $10 million, and the lenders were granted a
security interest in certain additional collateral.  Lenders
holding approximately 68% of the commitments under the Credit
Facility approved the Waiver Letter.  In addition, on January 29,
2010, the waiver period provided for in the "Second Amendment
Extension Letter" dated December 18, 2009, was extended to
February 12, 2010, but such period remains subject to potential
earlier termination as a result of certain events.

The Company continues to work actively with members of its bank
lending group to obtain a maturity extension to its Credit
Facility.  As previously announced, on December 8, 2009, the
Company and certain of its lenders agreed to a non-binding term
sheet relating to a maturity extension and structural
modifications of the Credit Facility.

The Amendment generally contemplates significant structural and
covenant changes to the Credit Facility, including a maturity
extension to December 2011; the granting of additional collateral;
certain material step-down requirements in the size of the Credit
Facility which principal step-downs are generally coincidental
with the required material land asset sales over the next six to
18 months, with the application of the net proceeds from the
build-out and sale of work-in-process housing units over the next
approximately nine months in certain of the communities that may
be sold without the construction of new spec units in these
specific locations, and future federal tax refunds.  The
anticipated asset sales may include substantially all of the
Company's undeveloped land positions as well as certain other
positions, which are to be sold, over up to the next 18 months,
but primarily over the next 12 months.  The Amendment is also
expected to prohibit future site improvement expenditures related
to these designated land positions; limit significantly the
acquisition of new lots and land; and enable completion of
existing work-in-process housing inventory units in many of such
communities without new spec unit starts in certain specific
locations.  It is anticipated that the Amendment will also
prohibit the construction of new work-in-process housing units in
all communities approximately six to eight months prior to the new
December 2011 maturity date.  The Company currently expects that
such asset sales will result in material financial losses, both
relative to book value reflected on the March 31, 2009 Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q (the latest financial statements that the
Company has filed with the SEC) and to existing bank borrowing
base value, respectively, of such assets.  The Amendment provides
for a potential significant principal reduction or debt
forgiveness by the lenders if the Company can either retire or
refinance the entire restructured Credit Facility, or if the
Company can recapitalize or sell the Company primarily within the
next six to 12 months following the ultimate closing date of the
Amendment, although realization of any principal reduction or debt
forgiveness is subject to significant conditions, including
recapture by lenders, as to which the Company can offer no
assurance of satisfaction.  The Company believes that the
Amendment should provide the Company with adequate liquidity to
continue its operations in the near term, but generally not beyond
approximately six to 12 months beyond the closing date of the
facility under this Term Sheet, if any.

The Company continues to pursue other strategic alternatives
including a potential sale or recapitalization of the Company, and
has presented potential transaction alternatives to its lending
group.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
consummate any transaction on terms acceptable to it, and any such
transaction may provide little or no value for either the
Company's unsecured creditors or equity holders, or may result in
substantial dilution to the Company's equity holders.

The Amendment, or any other modification of or accommodation under
the Credit Facility beyond February 12, 2010, will be subject to
an affirmative vote by each of the approximately 17 lenders party
to the Credit Facility and the Company can offer no assurances
that each of the lenders will approve the Amendment or any other
modification of or accommodation, or as to the specific terms of
the documentation that may be approved.  If the Company does not
enter into the Amendment or any other modification of or
accommodation under the Credit Facility on or before approximately
February 12, 2010, or thereabouts, the Credit Facility will mature
on such date and the Company will not have sufficient funds to
repay amounts outstanding or continue normal operations.

For additional discussion of the Company's liquidity, please refer
to the "Liquidity and Net Debt" section below, the Liquidity and
Capital Resources section of the Company's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2009, as well as the
Current Reports on Form 8-K and press releases filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2009, October 6,
2009, November 5, 2009, December 9, 2009, and December 23, 2009.

The Company has not made the September 30, 2009 or December 30,
2009 interest payments of $639,000 each on its $30 million of
8.52% Trust Preferred Securities.  Similarly, the Company did not
make the $235,000 payment due on January 30, 2010, under the
Junior Subordinated Notes issued under the exchange agreement
completed on August 3, 2009.

Mr. Hitchcock is president of Pembroke Capital LLC, a private

on the Plains Resources board until 2004.  Mr. Hitchcock has
served on a number of public company boards, including Thoratec
Corporation, Maxx Petroleum, International Colin Energy, and
Oshman's Inc.

"We are extremely fortunate to have persons of this caliber join
our team at Patient Safety Technologies" said Steven H. Kane,
President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Dr. Bauer brings a wealth

Company.  His background as physician, educator, administrator and

strategic direction of the Company."   Mr. Kane added, "Mr.

Howard E. Chase, Chairman of the Company's Board, added: "Dr.

great value and perspective to our board.  We are fortunate to

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $8,297,000 in total assets
against $10,190,000 in total liabilities, resulting in
stockholders' deficit of $1,893,000.  The September 30 balance
sheet showed strained liquidity: The Company had $1,893,000 in
total current assets against $7,590,000 in total current
liabilities.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
roughly $53.3 million and a working capital deficit of roughly
$5.7 million, of which $2.4 million represents the estimated fair
value of warrant derivative liabilities.  For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred net losses
of roughly $3.4 and $10.8 million, respectively.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 the Company used roughly
$3.6 million in cash to fund its operating activities.

The Company believes that existing cash resources, combined with
projected cash flow from operations, will not be sufficient to
fund its working capital requirement for the next 12 months.  To
continue to operate as a going concern it will be necessary to
raise additional capital.

PETER POCKLINGTON: Has Tentative Deal Over Seized Assets
--------------------------------------------------------
Darcy Henton at Canwest News Service reports that U.S. bankruptcy
trustee Robert Whitmore said Peter Pocklington, his wife Eva and
their creditors have agreed on a procedure for divvying up
property seized from the couple's home in 2008.  According to Mr.
Henton, a tentative deal reached between the Pocklingtons and a
bankruptcy trustee over items seized from the couple's California
home will see them relinquish Andy Warhol prints, Stanley Cup
rings and a host of other items, lawyers and creditors said on
Thursday.

Peter Pocklington is the former owner of the Edmonton Oilers of
the National Hockey League.  He declared bankruptcy in 2008,
citing assets of $2,900 and liabilities of $19.7 million.

Mr. Henton says Mr. Pocklington was subsequently charged with two
counts of bankruptcy fraud for allegedly hiding assets from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court and faces trial in California on March 9.

Mr. Henton relates the U.S. attorney alleges Mr. Pocklington
failed to report two offshore accounts and property he kept in two
storage facilities near his residence in Palm Desert, California.

According to Mr. Henton, David Casselman, Esq., a lawyer who
represents several creditors including the Alberta government,
said Eva Pocklington will be allowed to keep such personal items
as coats, purses and jewelry, but the bulk of the seized goods,
the Warhol prints and the property later located by the FBI in the
storage facilities, will be turned over to the trustee.

The deal doesn't include Pocklington's $800,000 home in Indian
Wells, Calif., Mr. Casselman added, according to Mr. Henton.

According to Mr. Henton, Mr. Casselman said it is difficult to
determine how much of the $12 million the Alberta government
claims Mr. Pocklington owes will be recovered.  The debt stems
from a $2 million loan made to Mr. Pocklington's meat-packing
company Gainers in 1988.

Rapid Link Incorporated said it cannot file its Form 10-K for

REGENCY ENERGY: Moody's Affirms 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Regency Energy Partners LP's
ratings and changed the rating outlook to stable from negative.
Ratings affirmed include Regency's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating,
Ba3 Probability of Default Rating, SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating, and B1 (LGD 5, 80%, changed from 81%) ratings on
its senior unsecured notes.

"The ratings affirmation and stable outlook reflect Regency's
success in completing its Haynesville expansion project under
budget and reasonably close to its scheduled completion date,"
commented Gretchen French, Moody's Assistant Vice President.  "In
addition, the stable outlook reflects the company's track record
to date in issuing equity, and management's commitment to issuing
additional equity."

Moody's had maintained a negative outlook on Regency's ratings
primarily due to execution risk associated with the expansion of
its North Louisiana intrastate gas pipeline, Regency Intrastate
Gas, to bring natural gas from the Haynesville Shale to market.
On January 27, the pipeline expansion was put into service, about
a month behind its scheduled completion date but modestly under
its $650 million budget.  The RIGS expansion represented Regency's
largest project to date by several-fold.  Regency was successful
in both conservatively financing the project as well as mitigating
the risk of increased construction costs.  In March 2009, Regency
formed a joint venture with Alinda Capital Partners LLC and
General Electric Capital Corporation in which Regency exchanged
62% of the stable fee based earnings and cash flows from the
existing RIGS system in exchange for the joint venture partners
funding the system expansion and Regency receiving a 38% stake in
the venture.  To date, debt at the joint venture is limited to a
$25 million working capital facility.

The completion of the RIGS expansion positively impacts Regency's
overall business risk profile.  The long-term transportation
contracts underpinning the project will increase Regency's
proportion of fee-based volumes and reduce its exposure to more
volatile natural gas processing.  RIGS has benefited from its
early mover advantage in the region, with the expanded capacity
fully contracted under 10-year firm transportation contracts.
However, Moody's note that the shippers are primarily concentrated
among non-investment grade rated exploration and production
companies.  In addition, over the longer term the pipeline faces
the risk of a number of competing pipeline projects and the
sustainability of capital spending growth and production growth in
the emerging Haynesville Shale.

Moody's anticipates that the joint venture will pursue additional
growth projects in the Haynesville Shale and that this growth will
be debt funded.  However, the stable rating outlook assumes that
financial leverage levels at the joint venture will be
conservative.  In addition, Moody's expect that Regency will look
to buyout GE's remaining interest in the joint venture over the
near to medium term.  In September, 2009, Regency bought out 5% of
GE's interest in the joint venture for $63 million, which it
funded with the issuance of convertible preferred units (50%
equity treatment).

The ratings affirmation and stable outlook also consider Regency's
ownership by GE and its track record to date in issuing equity
under GE's sponsorship, including the company's recent
$250 million equity issuance in December 2009, proceeds of which
were used to reduce revolver drawings.  Regency's pro forma
debt/EBITDA, as adjusted for Moody's adjustments, for the last
twelve months ending September 30, 2009 improved to approximately
4.6x from 5.6x as a result of the debt reduction.

However, Moody's notes that financial leverage levels could become
somewhat elevated over the near-term, as the company pursues
growth projects in its gathering and processing business in the
Haynesville Shale and to a lesser extent in the Eagle Ford Shale,
as well as expansion projects by its RIGS joint venture.  While
the credit benefits of the completed RIGS expansion help to
somewhat mitigate the potential for increased leverage, equity
will continue to need to be issued upfront and on a regular basis
in order to maintain the Ba3 rating and stable outlook.

Furthermore, Moody's note that while Regency's recent operating
performance has been in line with expectations despite volume
declines in certain regions, its distribution coverage has been
weak and is expected to remain fairly weak in 2010.  Regency has
held distributions flat over the past year, and the stable outlook
assumes that management will maintain conservative distribution
policies.

Regency's ratings could face negative pressure due to weaker than
expected operating performance, sustained elevated financial
leverage (debt/EBITDA over 5.0x) or weakened liquidity.
Conversely, the ratings could be positively impacted by increased
growth of fee-based income and the maintenance of debt/EBITDA in
the 4.0x range.

The last rating action on Regency was on May 14, 2009, when
Moody's affirmed the company's ratings at Ba3 with a negative
outlook.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Regency Energy Partners LP is a
publicly traded master limited partnership engaged in natural gas
gathering, processing, contract compression and transportation.

R.H. DONNELLEY: Emerges From Chapter 11
---------------------------------------
R.H. Donnelley has successfully emerged from its Chapter 11
restructuring as Dex One Corporation and will begin trading on
the New York Stock Exchange today under the ticker "DEXO," with
50 million shares outstanding.

"Today marks a new chapter in our company's history," said David
C. Swanson, chairman and CEO of Dex One Corporation.  "We
completed a very complex restructuring in less than a year,
eliminating more than $6 billion in debt and approximately
$500 million in annual interest expense.  We strengthened our
capital structure while continuing to help our clients -- local
businesses -- sustain and grow their operations.  And we re-
launched our company to capitalize on our highly-recognizable
'Dex' go-to-market brand and product portfolio."

The new Dex One Corporation will build upon its legacy of
delivering media products and marketing services that help local
businesses get found and selected by active shoppers.  The company
will continue to offer its "Dex" branded suite of products
including online and mobile search solutions, print yellow pages
directories, voice-search platforms and pay-per-click networks.

"We selected the Dex One name because it clearly communicates who
we are and what we do -- Dex, your trusted marketing partner for
over a hundred years, and now, your One stop shop for getting your
business exposed to active buying consumers whether they're
searching our robust suite of Dex products or on other major
search sites or search engines.  We believe Dex One Corporation
clearly highlights our category leadership and our premium
position," Mr. Swanson added.

The company's plan of reorganization was confirmed Jan. 12 by the
Hon. Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware after more than 96 percent of creditors by amount who
cast ballots voted in favor of confirmation.  The plan became
effective on Jan. 29. Distributions to creditors have already
begun.

"Throughout this process, we knew it was critical for the business
to continue as usual so that our valued clients would continue to
receive the service and commitment from the company they had come
to expect," Swanson said.  "Achieving that goal is one of our
proudest accomplishments."

As previously announced, the company filed a voluntary petition
for relief under Chapter 11 on May 28, 2009, after reaching pre-
arranged agreements with certain creditor groups, including bank
lenders and noteholders.

Also, the Company announced its new Board of Directors:

RIM DEVELOPMENT: Taps Adams Jones as Special Counsel
----------------------------------------------------
RIM Development, LLC, has asked for authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas to employ Adams Jones
Law Firm, P.A., as special counsel.

Adams Jones will, among other things, represent the Debtor in
eminent domain proceedings initiated by the Kansas Department of
Transportation regarding a portion of the Debtor's property in
Riley County and current subject to eminent domain.

Adams Jones proposes being compensated on a continent fee basis of
15% of the gross amount of any award in the eminent domain
proceeding at the administrative proceeding.  Adam Jones further
requests that should an appeal or further action be warranted, it
will separately negotiate a contract for the additional
representation and will seek court approval should Adams Jones and
the Debtor agree to the representation.  Expenses will be advanced
separately.

Bradley A. Stout and Kenneth G. Gale of Adams Jones assure the
Court that the firm is "disinterested" as that term is defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Textron Financial Corporation (TFC), a secured creditor of the
Debtor, has objected to the engagement of Adams Jones as special
counsel on a contingent fee basis of 15% of the gross amount of
any award in the eminent domain proceeding at the administrative
proceeding.  TFC says that since the award at the administrative
proceeding will be no less than $1,142,000, Debtor proposes a fee
of no less than $171,000, which can be "earned" by performing no
work whatsoever.

"The administrative hearing process in a Kansas eminent domain
proceeding is not a complex or time consuming process.  The
hearing is ordinarily concluded within 45 days of filing of the
petition.  There is no discovery process.  There are no unique
questions of law.  The primary work is performed by appraisers,
not attorneys.  The hearing to be held on January 25, 2010, was
scheduled to commence at 1:00 p.m. and conclude at 2:30 p.m.  The
proposed fee exceeds the reasonable value of the services.  The
condemnation award is the cash collateral of TFC and CoreFirst.
The application proposes to use this cash collateral without the
consent of TFC and without providing adequate protection to the
interests of TFC," TFC states.

TFC is represented by Armstrong Teasdale LLP.

Roca, Nebraska-based RIM Development, LLC, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on January 22, 2010 (Bankr. D. Kan. Case No.
10-10132).  Susan G. Saidian, Esq., who has an office in Wichita,

S&B SURGERY CENTER: Committee Required to Maintain Web Site
-----------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that an unsecured creditors' committee in a
Chapter 11 case that involved more than 220 unsecured creditors
with over $36 million in unsecured claims would be required to
establish and maintain an Internet Web site to provide non-
confidential information for unsecured creditors regarding the
debtor's Chapter 11 case, in fulfillment of its statutory
obligation under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1102(b)(3)(A) to provide access to
information to unsecured creditors that it served.  A bankruptcy
judge in California overruled the committee's objection that the
cost of maintaining such a Web site, in the amount of from $500 to
$3,000 per month, was excessive and unwarranted given the size of
the debtor's case.  The cost was minimal when compared with the
more than $25 million in assets listed on the debtor's schedules.
In re S & B Surgery Center, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 2567017,

SAINT VINCENT: Board Taps Grant Thornton's Mark Toney as CRO
------------------------------------------------------------
Barbara Benson at Crain's New York Business reports that Saint
Vincent Catholic Medical Centers has hired consulting firm Grant
Thornton to advise it on a major restructuring effort to try to
return the institution to fiscal solvency.

Crain's reports that SVCMC's board has named Mark Toney, National
Managing Partner of Grant Thornton's Corporate Advisory and
Restructuring Services practice, as its chief restructuring
officer.  Mr. Toney will report directly to the board, and will
have responsibility for the hospital's operations during the
restructuring process.  Crain's says SVCMC's president and chief
executive Henry Amoroso will assist the CRO in the restructuring
process.

According to Crain's, SVCMC's hiring of a CRO may be a prelude to
a second bankruptcy filing as a means of dealing with $700 million
in debt.

"There's no question that Saint Vincent's is facing the most
serious test of its 160-year history, and that we must
substantially adapt to meet the financial and health care
challenges of the 21st century," said SVCMC Chairman Alfred Smith
IV in a statement issued Sunday, according to Crain's.  "The Saint
Vincent's board is behind Grant Thornton in helping steer our
venerable institution through what is sure to be a difficult
process so we can emerge as a provider of quality health care for
the West Side of Manhattan."

Crain's relates SVCMC's board has spent tens of millions of
dollars on consulting firms, including Huron Consulting and
Alvarez & Marsal, since it first filed for bankruptcy in 2005.

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on January 27, 2010,
Crain's said SVCMC is in default of its reorganization plan.  It
missed a $10 million payment to a trust fund created to deal with
medical malpractice cases.  According to the TCR, Crain's reported
that SVCMC failed to transfer $10 million to the MedMal Trusts on
August 30, the anniversary of the plan's effective date.  Crain's
said lawyers tried to work with SVCMC to cure the default,
including an asset sale.

According to the TCR, Crain's said SVCMC on January 19 informed
the fund that it would not cure the default with a $10 million
payment.  Instead, SVMC is distributing $18.6 million to other
creditors, according to court documents.  Crain's said lawyers
sought to keep the issue out of court dockets "in an effort to
protect the sensitivity of these matters and to provide SVCMC with
an opportunity to avoid a second bankruptcy filing."

SEA LAUNCH: Posts Over $17 Mil. Net Loss in December 2009
---------------------------------------------------------
NetDockets reports Sea Launch Company, L.L.C. and its affiliates
have filed their consolidated monthly operating report for the
month of December 2009.  According to the monthly operating
report, the companies ended December with assets of almost
$498 million, an increase of almost $47 million since their
June 22 bankruptcy filing.  Liabilities have increased from
$2.113 billion to $2.197 billion over the same period, with
$21.5 million being categorized as liabilities not subject to
compromise.  The companies ended December with less than
$3.8 million in available cash.

NetDockets reports that in December, the companies generated no
revenue, resulting in a net loss for the month of over
$17 million.  The largest expenses during the period were for
launch costs ($9.5 million), depreciation ($2.3 million), other
administrative costs ($2.3 million), and professional fees
($2.2 million).  Since the bankruptcy filing, the companies have
generated a net loss of $47.8 million on revenue of $29.9 million.
The net loss includes $10.8 million in reorganization expenses.

Sea Launch Co. is a satellite-launch services provider that offers
commercial space launch capabilities from the Baikonur Space
Center in Kazakhstan.  Its owners include Boeing Co., RSC Energia,
and Aker ASA.

Sea Launch Company, L.L.C., filed for Chapter 11 on June 22, 2009
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-12153).  Joel A. Waite, Esq., and
Kenneth J. Enos, Esq., at Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor LLP,
in Wilmington, Delaware, serve as the Debtor's counsel.  At the
time of the filing, the Company said its assets range from
$100 million to $500 million and debts are at least $1 billion


SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Attleboro, Massachusetts-based Sensata Technologies B.V.
to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.  S&P also raised the rating on the senior
secured debt to 'B+' (two notches above the corporate credit
rating) from 'B'.

The recovery rating on this debt is '1', indicating S&P's
expectation of very high (90%-100%) recovery in a payment default
scenario.  S&P also raised the issue-level ratings on the
company's senior notes and senior subordinated debt to 'CCC' (two
notches below the corporate credit rating) from 'CCC-'.  The
recovery ratings on this debt are '6', indicating S&P's
expectation of negligible (0%-10%) recovery in a payment default
scenario for the senior notes and senior subordinated notes.  The
outlook is positive.

The ratings upgrade reflects good fourth-quarter results and S&P's
belief that business trends remain favorable, which should allow
for sustained improvement in credit measures.  The risk of a
covenant violation in the near term has declined due to the
improved operating performance.  Furthermore, Sensata's liquidity
position benefits from $148 million of cash balances at year end,
with no borrowings drawn under its $150 million revolver.

The senior secured debt, which is all pari passu, consists of a
$150 million revolving credit facility, a EUR392 million term loan
facility, and a $950 million term loan.  The senior subordinated
notes are general unsecured obligations that are subordinated in
right of payment to the senior secured debt facilities and the 8%
senior notes due 2014.

Sensata remains highly leveraged but has begun to generate better
EBITDA due to improved market conditions and significant cost-
cutting actions.  "For example, S&P could raise the ratings if
adjusted debt to EBITDA trends toward 6x and S&P anticipate
further improvement," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Dan
Picciotto.  The company could also delever if parent Sensata
Technologies Holding's IPO is successful.  "However, an upgrade is
not contingent on completion of the IPO if the company can
otherwise improve credit measures through an improved operating
performance," he continued.  S&P could revise the outlook to
stable if market conditions become unfavorable and limit
improvement in credit measures.  For instance, if S&P thought
adjusted debt to EBITDA would remain more than 7x, S&P could
revise the outlook to stable.

SIMMONS CO: S&P Withdraws 'D' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its ratings, including
the 'D' corporate credit rating, on Atlanta-based Simmons Co. and
its wholly owned subsidiary Simmons Bedding Co.

This follows the company's recent emergence from bankruptcy and
acquisition by certain affiliates of Ares Management LLC and
Teachers' Private Capital, the private investment department of
the Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan.

The company had previously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of
Delaware on Nov., 16, 2009, and filed a pre-packaged plan of
reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court.

In conjunction with the company's recently completed financial
restructuring and bankruptcy emergence, Simmons has eliminated
approximately $550 million of previously rated debt, through
either repayment, partial repayment, or conversion of debt into
equity.

Simmons is a leading manufacturer and distributor of bedding
products and mattresses in the U.S. and Canada.


SIRIUS XM: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa1'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Sirius XM Radio Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from Ca, Probability of Default
Rating to B3 from Caa3, and speculative-grade liquidity rating to
SGL-2 from SGL-3.  Associated debt ratings were upgraded as
detailed below.  The upgrades reflect Moody's view that continued
expected improvement in the company's operating results and recent
refinancing actions to term out debt have improved its liquidity
position and significantly lowered near-term default risk.
Realized synergies from the merger of Sirius and XM and
stabilization of the subscriber base is driving a significant
shift in Sirius XM's earnings performance, with EBITDA turning
positive in 2009 for the first time in the company's history.
Sirius XM's leverage remains very high (approximately 9.7x FY 2009
incorporating Moody's standard adjustments) given the long-term
capital reinevstment needs of satellite-based service providers,
but the improved liquidity position provides management additional
flexibility to execute its growth plan and potentially reduce
leverage to a more sustainable level.  Loss given default point
estimates were also updated and the rating outlook is stable.

Upgrades:

Issuer: Sirius XM Radio Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Upgraded to Caa1 from Ca

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Upgraded to B3 from Caa3

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Upgraded to SGL-2 from
     SGL-3

  -- Senior Secured Term Loan due December 2012, Upgraded to B1
     from B3 (no change to LGD2 - 10% assessment)

  -- Senior Secured Notes due September 2015, Upgraded to B2, LGD3
     - 33% from Caa2, LGD3 - 34%

  -- Senior Unsecured Notes due August 2013, Upgraded to Caa2,
     LGD5 - 76% from Ca, LGD5 - 77%

Issuer: XM Satellite Radio Inc.

  -- Senior Secured Notes due June 2013, Upgraded to B2, LGD3 -
     33% from Caa2, LGD3 - 34%

  -- Senior Unsecured Notes due August 2013, Upgraded to Caa2,
     LGD5 - 76% from Ca, LGD5 - 77%

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Sirius XM Radio Inc.

  -- Outlook, Changed To Stable From Positive

Sirius XM's Caa1 CFR continues to reflect its sizeable debt burden
and uncertainty surrounding the viability of subscription-based
satellite radio and cash sustainability of the capital structure.
The Caa1 rating also reflects Moody's view that EBITDA less
capital spending to interest expense will remain below 1x in 2010
and 2011 despite expected improvement in subscriber levels and
EBITDA.  Moody's believes moving this interest coverage ratio to
1x or above will be critical in any consideration of the ratings
for a further upgrade.  Sirius XM indicated that free cash flow
would be over $100 million in 2009, but Moody's estimates the
company would have been a user of cash absent a significant
working capital inflow during the year.  A reversal of some of the
favorable working capital movements in 2010 along with the sizable
interest burden and continued elevated capital spending to
complete the construction and launch of two new satellites in 2010
and 2011 will be a drag on cash flow.

The upgrade to SGL-2 from SGL-3 reflects the company's improved
cash position as a result of the positive free cash flow during
2009, and the level of cushion this provides relative to
anticipated cash needs including the sizable 2010 capital spending
budget.  Liquidity is bolstered by the minimal amount of
maturities in 2010 (required annual term loan amortization is
$2.5 million) and the absence of financial maintenance covenants
in Sirius XM's existing debt agreements.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that EBITDA
less capital spending to interest expense will remain below 1x
over the next 12-18 months despite projected growth in the number
of subscribers and EBITDA, and continued anticipated improvement
in credit metrics.  The stable rating outlook also reflects that
Sirius XM's ability to generate positive free cash flow will be
highly dependent on realizing an inflow from more volatile working
capital movements in the next 12-18 months.

The last rating action was on August 13, 2009, when Moody's
assigned a Caa2 rating to Sirius XM's 2015 notes.

Sirius XM'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
other issuers both within and outside Sirius XM's core industry
and believes Sirius XM's ratings are comparable to those of other
issuers with similar credit risk.

Sirius XM, headquartered in New York, is a provider of
subscription-based satellite radio services.  Annual revenue is
approximately $2.5 billion.


SIX FLAGS: Court Approves Informal Settlement With OSHA
-------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi approves an informal

Occupational Safety and Health Administration in Austin, Texas.

The Debtors had been cited for violations to certain regulations

(5) The Debtors agree that OSHA will be permitted access to

SMURFIT-STONE: Proposes to Pay USW Professional Fees & Expenses
---------------------------------------------------------------
Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. and its units ask the Court for
authority to pay certain professional fees and expenses incurred
by professionals engaged by the United Steelworkers in connection
with issues arising out of the Debtors' efforts to reorganize.

The Debtors are currently in the process of developing a business
plan and other financial modeling that will provide the basis for
their reorganization, which may involve matters related to the
Debtors' pension plans in which majority of their unionized
employees participate.

To facilitate their ability to engage in meaningful negotiations
and discussions regarding issues related to hourly employees
represented by USW, USW determined that it is advisable for it to
retain outside professional advisors, including Potok Co., Inc.,
an investment banking firm, to focus on matters emanating from
the Debtors Chapter 11 cases.

Against this backdrop, the Debtors have agreed to pay the Outside
Consultant Fees and Expenses, subject to a $750,000 overall cap
for USW's investment banker, and $375,000 for other Outside
Consultants, provided that USW will not be precluded from seeking
a success fee for its investment banker in appropriate
circumstances.

James F. Conlan, Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP, in Chicago,
Illinois, relates that the Debtors and the USW presented a
certain memorandum of understanding to the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, and the Committee supports the Debtors'
intention.

The MOU provides these procedures for payment of Outside
Consultant Fees:

  -- the Debtors will pay Potok and Co. $65,000 per month for
     each month beginning the later of February 2009 or the date
     Potok was first retained, and until Potok's work is
     concluded or the effective date of a plan of
     reorganization, provided that the aggregate amount will not
     exceed $750,000;

  -- the Debtors will pay USW's other Outside Consultants in
     connection with the Debtors' restructuring for all work
     performed between the Petition Date and the date the
     Outside Professional's work is concluded or the effective
     date of any Chapter 11 Plan of reorganization, provided
     that the amount will not exceed $375,000; and

  -- payment will be based on each Outside Consultant's usual
     rates and reimbursement will be only for reasonable and
     necessary expenses.

The Hon. William S. Howard of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Kentucky authorized SouthEast Telephone, Inc.,
to use cash securing repayment of loan with Community Trust Bank

The Debtor would use the cash collateral to ensure continued going
concern operations and to protect and preserve the value of the
Debtor's assets and on-going operations.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on November 12, 2009,

collateral, the Debtors will grant CTB a replacement lien and
superpriority administrative claim which are subordinate to the
fees of the U.S. Trustee and the carve-out for fees.

The Debtor's right to use the cash collateral will expire (i) at

suspension of the order; or (iii) in the event the Debtor is in

SPO MEDICAL: Completes Restructuring Plan
-----------------------------------------
SPO Medical Inc. said Tuesday it has restructured the Company
operations to focus primarily on licensing its core technology for
non-medical market applications.  A restructuring plan has now
been completed which involved the reduction of the Company's
corporate and manufacturing workforce and a licensing agreement
for the existing medical PulseOx product line.  Going forward, SPO
Medical Inc. will operate as a development and licensing company.
These corporate changes were designed to streamline the
organization and right-size the G&A and overhead structure.

Under this new structure, the PulseOx medical product line will be
marketed by SPO Medical Systems Ltd., a private Israeli company
owned and managed by the original founder of SPO Medical, Mr.
Israel Sarussi.  As per the license agreement, all worldwide
sales, marketing and manufacturing of the PulseOx line has been
transferred to SPO Medical Systems Ltd.  The licensee has retained
much of the workforce previously employed by the Company in
connection with manufacture and marketing of the PulseOx medical
product line.

Michael Braunold, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPO
Medical Inc. commented: "The licensing of our medical technology
and associated PulseOx product line to SPO Medical Systems Ltd.
should enable further growth of our medical product offering in
the market.  As a result, we will be focusing all our corporate
efforts on new non-medical product offerings which relate to
consumer mass-market opportunities.  The licensing agreement and
associated restructuring plan should have no impact on the current
200,000 SPO Medical end-users or worldwide reseller network that
operates in over 40 countries that will now be serviced by SPO
Medical Systems Ltd. -- I have every confidence that the existing
PulseOx product line will be further enhanced by Mr. Sarussi and
his team."

STALLION OILFIELD: Emerges from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------
Stallion Oilfield Services Ltd., on February 2 announced that it
officially emerged from Chapter 11 protection with a stronger
capital structure.

"We have worked hard to make this as painless as possible for all
parties involved.  Not only are we emerging with a much stronger
capital structure, we have an improved balance sheet, paid all of
our vendors in full, and we retained our unparalleled customer
base".

"Stallion has emerged as a leaner, stronger company prepared to
capitalize on the recovering oil and natural gas industry," said
Craig M. Johnson, Stallion's President and Chief Executive
Officer. "We have worked hard to make this as painless as possible
for all parties involved. Not only are we emerging with a much
stronger capital structure, we have an improved balance sheet,
paid all of our vendors in full, and we retained our unparalleled
customer base," Johnson said. "We cannot thank our dedicated
employees enough for making this restructuring a success. It was
truly a team effort."

Stallion's plan of reorganization received unanimous support of
its creditors and equity holders voting for the plan.  The Company
said 100% of the voting claimants voted in favor of the plan.
"This is a significant achievement for the Company; we were able
to complete such a unique transaction over the course of 100 days.
We wouldn't have been able to do this without the support of so
many people who believe in Stallion, including our employees,
customers, and vendors. We are looking forward to a prosperous
future," continued Johnson.

Stallion also named a new board of directors that will include:
Blake Carlson, Gene Davis, Craig Johnson, J. Russell Porter, and
Hobie Smith.

Mr. Davis, chairman of the board, commented, "Leading a company
through a restructuring process is arduous. Craig Johnson and his
management team should be congratulated for their efforts to
ensure a timely and successful exit for Stallion. On behalf of the
entire board, we are enthusiastic for the opportunity to be
involved with a company that is known for its operational
excellence and service quality in the energy sector. We also look
forward to working with the management team to build from this
foundation."

Stallion entered Chapter 11 on October 19, 2009 with a pre-
negotiated restructuring agreement with holders of more than 90%
in principal amount of its secured obligations, more than 74% in
principal amount of its unsecured bridge lenders, and more than
88% in principal amount of its unsecured noteholders, as well as
more than 68% of equity holders.

The Hon. Brendan Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware confirmed the Company's plan of
reorganization on January 12, 2010. The plan became effective
February 2, 2010.

                        The Chapter 11 Plan

The Plan is based on a consensual deal with the Debtors' key
stakeholders and contemplates a significant de-leveraging of the
Debtors' balance sheets and a full recovery for holders of allowed
general unsecured claims, confirmation of the plan is expected to
occur over a relatively short timeframe.

The Debtors said that they agreed with the lenders and the holders
of the Stallion equity interests with respect to a consensual
restructuring on the terms set forth in the restructuring term
sheet, and formalized by the restructuring and lock-up agreement
dated Oct. 17, 2009.  The Debtors related that they received an
executed restructuring and lock-up agreement from holders of more
than:

   -- 90% of the senior secured claims;

   -- 74% of the bridge loan claims;

   -- 88% of the notes claims; and

   -- 68% of the Stallion equity interests, which ensures that the
      plan has sufficient support to satisfy the confirmation
      requirements under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Under the plan, among other things, all holders of senior secured
claims, totaling $245.9 million, will receive either:

   -- its pro rata share of the (i) senior secured paydown of $25
      million cash and  (ii) $220.9 million in first priority
      senior secured debt pursuant to the amended and restated
      senior secured credit agreement; or

   -- payment in full, in cash in the event that the Reorganized
      Debtors enter into new financing.

Holders of unsecured debt comprising bridge loans aggregating
$259.3 million and unsecured notes aggregating $283.9 million will
receive 98% of the stock of reorganized Stallion Oilfield.

Holders of general unsecured claims that are not due and payable
by the plan's effective date, will receive payment in full in cash
of the unpaid portion of their allowed claim.

Holders of interests in Stallion Oilfied Holdings GP, LLC, will
receive 0.0002% of the new common stock, and warrants to purchase
additional stock.  Holders of existing stock in Stallion Oilfield
Holdings, Ltd., will receive 1.9998% of the new common stock, plus
warrants to purchase additional stock.

TELOGY LLC: Gets Interim Okay to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
Telogy, LLC, et al., sought and obtained interim authority from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to use the
cash collateral securing their obligation to their prepetition
lenders.

Telogy and e-Cycle, LLC, entered into (i) certain Term Loan and
Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2006, among Telogy, e-
Cycle, the lenders party thereto (the Term Lenders), and The Bank
of New York Mellon (the Agent), as Administrative Agent for the
Lenders (the Term Loan Agreement); and (ii) certain Revolving
Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2006, among
Telogy, e-Cycle, the lenders party thereto (the Revolving Lenders,
and, together with the Term Lenders, the Lenders), and the Agent,
as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the Revolving Credit
Agreement, and, together with the Term Loan Agreement, the Secured
Credit Agreements).

The attorneys for the Debtors -- Matthew B. Lunn, Esq., at Young
Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, and John C. Longmire, Esq., at
Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP -- explain that the Debtors need the
money to fund their Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other
parties.

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtors propose to
grant the Agent and the Lenders additional, replacement and
continuing, valid, binding, enforceable, non-avoidable and
automatically and properly perfected first-priority security
interests in and liens on all of the Debtors' assets.  As
additional adequate protection, the Debtors will grant the Agent
and the Lenders an allowed superpriority expense claim.

The adequate protection liens take the form of (a) payments of
cash in an amount equal to interest under the Secured Credit
Agreements on a current basis, calculated at the applicable non-
default interest rates under the Secured Credit Agreements as in
effect on the Petition Date; (b) payments in cash on a current
basis, promptly, but in no event later than 10 days after the
receipt by the Debtors of an invoice of all fees, costs and
reasonable expenses of the Agent and the Lenders payable under the
Secured Credit Agreements, including the reasonable fees and out-
of-pocket disbursements of the Agent's outside counsel; and (c)
payment of the excess carve-out on the final date.

The liens are subject to a carve-out for U.S. Trustee and Clerk of
Court fees; up to $1,500,000 in fees payable to professional
employed in the Debtors' case; and up to $200,000 in fees of the
committee in pursuing actions challenging the DIP Lenders' lien.

The Debtors promise to provide the Agent and the Lenders weekly
reports.

The final hearing on the Debtors' request to use cash collateral
is set for February 23, 2010, at 12:30 p.m.

Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP is the counsel to the Agent and
the Lenders.

bankruptcy protection on January 24, 2010 (Bankr. D. Delaware Case

TELOGY LLC: Asks for Court Okay to Auction Assets
-------------------------------------------------
Telogy, LLC, et al., have sought approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware for the sale of substantially
all of Telogy's assets, free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances and other interests other than those expressly
assumed by McGrath Rent Corp.

Telogy's need to reduce its debt load and interest expense and the
increasing concerns about the potential deterioration of its
business and concomitant degradation in value has led to its
decision to sell its remaining operations.  After a lengthy
marketing process, Telogy determined that the bid from the
Potential Purchaser was viable opportunity and commenced the
Chapter 11 cases to implement the proposed transaction with
McGrath, subject to a competitive sale process and the
solicitation of higher and/or otherwise better offers (a Sale).
Teology believes that its business isn't of a type that can endure
a prolonged stay in Chapter 11 without significant risk to
Teology's survival.

Any non-assumed interests against or in the purchased assets will
attach to the net proceeds of a Sale, in the order of priority and
with the same validity, force and effect that the interests may
now have against the assets.

Telogy proposes that an auction be held.  The Potential Purchaser
insisted on certain bidding protections, including a $500,430
break-up fee and up to $166,810 expense reimbursement.

Telogy seeks the Court's approval of: (a) assumption of the
Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement, and the Sale of the Purchased
Assets pursuant thereto, free and clear of interests, or the right
to consummate a higher or otherwise better offer or transaction (a
Superior Transaction) with an alternative buyer (an Alternative
Buyer); (b) the institution of certain bidding, auction and notice
procedures for the solicitation and consideration of competing
offers for the purchased assets, including the Break-Up Fee and
Expense Reimbursement payable to the Potential Purchaser; and (c)
the assumption, assignment and/or transfer of certain executor
contracts and unexpired leases to the Potential Purchaser or,
alternatively, to other successful bidder.  Under the terms of the
Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement, the sale to the Potential
Purchaser must close no later than 90 days after the Petition
Date.

The aggregate consideration, pursuant to the Stalking Horse
Purchase Agreement, is (i) $16,681,000, which is subject to
adjustment and which will be applied to the reduction of Telogy's
outstanding liabilities under the existing credit facilities; and
(ii) the assumption by the Potential Purchaser of the assumed
liabilities.

Other interested bidder must present offers that exceed that of
the Potential Purchaser's offer by at least $767,240, which is the
sum of (a) $500,430 (the Break-Up Fee), (b) $166,810 (the maximum
amount of the expense reimbursement), and (c) $100,000 (the
minimum initial bidding increment).  Bids must have minimum
increments of $25,000.

The Debtor has proposed that the deadline for the submission of
bids be at 12:00 noon of this month, and that the auction be
scheduled at 10:00 a.m. of ____ 2010.

Copies of the proposed bidding procedures and the Stalking Horse
Purchase Agreement are available for free at:

TITLEMAX HOLDINGS: Merrill Lynch Calls Disclosure Misleading
------------------------------------------------------------

seven creditors to serve on the official committee of unsecured
creditors.  Titlemax has assets and debts both ranging from
$100 million to $500 million.


TOUSA INC: Falcone Group Says Creditors' Suit "Unfounded"
---------------------------------------------------------
Arthur Falcone, Chief Executive Officer of The Falcone Group,
issued a statement regarding the TOUSA creditor's committee
lawsuit against Arthur and Ed Falcone and their companies.  Mr.
Falcone said the bankruptcy judge's ruling back in October in
favor of TOUSA against some of Wall Street's biggest financial
institutions was a totally different situation than Falcone's
business dealings and the landbankers dealings with TOUSA.

According to Mr. Falcone, during 2005, TOUSA and entities
controlled by Arthur and Edward Falcone created a joint venture to
buy the homebuilding assets of Transeastern Properties. TOUSA was
the controlling member of that entity and owned the overwhelming
majority of its beneficial interest.

However, at the request of TOUSA, the companies owned by Arthur
and Edward Falcone ended their relationship with the joint venture
in the summer of 2007, having agreed to exchange mutual releases
for any claims they may have against each other.  Additionally,
entities owned and controlled by third parties agreed to close on
the sale of two communities to the joint venture, which had been
previously under contract, at the previously-agreed upon price of
approximately $50 million.

According to the statement, what the TOUSA creditor's committee
lawsuit seeks against Arthur and Ed Falcone and their companies is
merely to set aside the mutual releases which the parties
exchanged in 2007.  Arthur and Ed Falcone have no ownership
interest and were not members or shareholders of any of the
entities -- Independence Land Development 23, LLC, Live Oak
Development II, LLC, or Kendall Land Development, LLC -- from
which the TOUSA creditor's committee is now seeking money damages.
Moreover, the basis of their case is the novel proposition that
TOUSA simply paid too much for the property they agreed to
purchase back in 2004-2005.  They propose that the seller should
bear the risk of the alleged decline in market values, not the
buyer, who agreed to proceed to closing in the summer of 2007
despite the supposed decline in the value of the property.  The
owners of the three entities being sued have indicated that they
intend to contest this proposition vigorously.

The lawsuit also makes reference to a court ruling regarding TOUSA
in October.  "I think that Judge Olson's ruling back in October in
favor of TOUSA against some of Wall Street's biggest financial
institutions was a totally different situation than our business
dealings and the landbankers dealings with TOUSA," Art Falcone
remarked. These transactions were arm's length agreements and not
in any fashion the type of transactions that fraudulent conveyance
law was meant to prohibit. Falcone believes that there is no merit
whatsoever to the TOUSA creditor's committee suit.

"Just because in hindsight TOUSA's creditors think they overpaid,
it doesn't mean they can now go to the courts and demand their
money back. Imagine if you bought your home a few years ago for
$300,000 and now it's worth $150,000. You can't just go back to
the seller and demand your money back. That's the market."

TTM TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'BB-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'BB-'
corporate credit rating on Santa Ana, California-based TTM
Technologies Inc. and removed the rating from CreditWatch with
negative implications, where it was placed on Nov. 16, 2009,
following the company's announcement that it had agreed to acquire
the printed circuit board operations of Hong Kong-based Meadville
Holdings Ltd.  S&P also affirmed the 'BB-' issue-level rating on
the company's $175 million senior unsecured note issue and keeping
the '4' recovery rating unchanged.  The ratings outlook is stable.

"The rating action reflects S&P's expectation that TTM will
successfully integrate the acquired business, and that its
financial profile will remain well within the rating range over
the intermediate term," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Bruce Hyman.  A consortium of Asian banks has committed to funding
the Meadville acquisition, which is likely to close by the end of
the March 2010 quarter.

US AIRWAYS: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'Caa1'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Caa1 Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings of US Airways Group, Inc., and the
SGL-4 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating.  Moody's also affirmed
its B3 rating on the $1.17 Billion Senior Secured First Lien Term
Loan due 2014, the ratings on the company's Industrial Revenue
Bonds and the ratings on all but two tranches of the Enhanced
Equipment Trust Certificates issued by US Airway's subsidiary, US
Airways, Inc., or its subsidiary, America West Airlines, LLC.  The
ratings on two junior tranches of EETC's were downgraded in
recognition of weaker than expected loan to value ratios; the C
tranche of the US Airways, Inc. Series 2000-3 EETC was lowered to
Caa1 from B3 and the B tranche of the America West Airlines, LLC
Series 1998-1 was lowered to B1 from Ba3.  The outlook remains
negative.

The Caa1 Corporate Family rating reflects Moody's belief that
despite recent improvement, US Airways earnings and cash flow
remain highly exposed to weak economic trends and variability in
the cost of fuel.  Financial metrics have strengthened, but with
Debt/EBITDA above 10x and EBIT/Interest below 1x, are still not
supportive of a higher rating.  US Airways operating performance
has improved in a number of areas including on-time performance
and customer complaints.  Credit metrics could trend positively in
2010 if US Airways achieves positive free cash flow as it guided
on the January 28, 2009 earnings call.  However, Moody's believes
that a modest recovery of economic growth and persistent high
unemployment, could constrain the pace, scope and durability of
the recovery of airline yields as 2010 progresses.  Moreover, with
a lesser portion of its business derived from business and
international travel, US Airways might not benefit as much as some
of its peers from an economic recovery.

The negative outlook considers the company's greater exposure to
fuel price hikes than other carriers, as US Airways does not have
any fuel hedges in place at the current time.  Moreover, while US
Airways has improved its liquidity profile over the last several
months through certain financing initiatives and aircraft
deferrals, its unrestricted cash is only about 15% of total
revenue, which provides less cushion than other carriers to absorb
unplanned calls on cash that could arise if fuel prices increase
or if traffic and/or yields trail the company's forecasts.

The downgrades of the two EETC tranches consider the value of the
A320 aircraft that collateralize these instruments in relation to
the current outstanding debt balances.  The revised ratings of
these tranches align their ratings to similarly-classed tranches
of other of US Airways EETC's that have the same aircraft model
and type and similar vintage and loan-to-values.

The outlook could be stabilized if unrestricted cash to revenue
approaches 20% in conjunction with continued improvement in
operating metrics.  Sustained positive free cash flow generation
that approaches 4% of debt, Debt to EBITDA decreasing to the range
of 6.0 times and/or FFO + Interest to Interest in excess of 1.8
times could also result in a stabilization of the outlook.

The ratings could be downgraded if US Airways is unable to sustain
unrestricted cash above $1.3 billion.  The inability to maintain
competitive yields or control operating costs, including cost
increases related to fuel price increases could also exert
downwards rating pressure.  Debt to EBITDA that is sustained above
8.0 times, FFO + Interest to Interest below 1.5 times or EBITDA
margin sustained below 15% could also result in a downgrade.

The principal methodology used in rating US Airways was Moody's
Global Passenger Airlines, published in March 2009 and available
on www.moodys.com in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory under
the Research & Ratings tab.  Other methodologies and factors that
may have been considered in the process of rating US Airways can
also be found in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's
website.

The last rating action was on July 23, 2008, when Moody's
downgraded the corporate family and probability of default ratings
to Caa1 from B3.

Downgrades:

Issuer: America West Airlines, Inc.

  -- Senior Secured Enhanced Equipment Trust, Downgraded to B1
     from Ba3

Issuer: US Airways, Inc.

  -- Senior Secured Enhanced Equipment Trust, Downgraded to Caa1

VALASSIS COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Reviews 'B1' Corp. Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Valassis Communications, Inc.'s
B1 Corporate Family Rating, B1 Probability of Default Rating and
associated debt ratings on review for possible upgrade.  The
review follows the company's announcement that it had reached a
settlement of its outstanding lawsuits with News America
Marketing, a division of News Corporation (Baa1 senior unsecured),
whereby NAM will pay Valassis $500 million in cash and enter into
a 10-year agreement to distribute free standing inserts through
Valassis' share mail platform.  The review reflects the potential
that the settlement proceeds and incremental earnings from the
distribution agreement with NAM will reduce Valassis' leverage.

On Review for Possible Upgrade:

Issuer: Valassis Communications, Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Placed on Review for Possible
     Upgrade, currently B1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Placed on Review for Possible
     Upgrade, currently B1

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Placed on Review for
     Possible Upgrade, currently Ba2

  -- Senior Secured Conv./Exch.  Bond/Debenture, Placed on Review
     for Possible Upgrade, currently Ba2

  -- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Placed on Review for
     Possible Upgrade, currently B3

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Valassis Communications, Inc.

  -- Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Stable

Moody's will evaluate in the review Valassis' intended use of the
after-tax settlement proceeds, the benefits of the shared mail
distribution agreement, and the outlook for Valassis' operations
in a stabilizing economic environment.  A meaningful improvement
in credit metrics would likely lead to an upgrade.  Moody's will
consider Valassis' strategies to minimize the tax consequences of
the settlement, the restrictions on the use of the cash in the
company's debt agreements, and how the balance between shareholder
and bondholder interests will affect the company's decisions on
utilizing the cash.  Moody's will also evaluate the effect that
the settlement and permanent injunction related to certain
business practices at issue in the lawsuits will have on Valassis'
ability to compete in the free standing insert business.

Moody's last rating action on Valassis occurred on November 20,
2008, when it changed the company's rating outlook to stable from
positive.

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

Valassis Communications, Inc., headquartered in Livonia, MI,
offers a wide range of promotional and advertising products
including shared (direct) mail (about 57% of LTM 9/30/09 revenue),
free-standing inserts (FSI; 16%), neighborhood targeting (20%),
sampling, coupon clearing and consulting and analytic services.
Annual revenue approximates $2.3 billion.


VALASSIS COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Puts 'B+' Rating on Positive Watch
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating for Livonia, Michigan-based Valassis Communications
Inc., along with all associated issue-level ratings, on
CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch listing reflects Valassis' announcement on
Saturday, Jan. 30, that it would receive $500 million, before
taxes, in a settlement reached with News America Marketing, a
subsidiary of News Corp.  While Valassis has not yet announced how
it will use the proceeds, net of taxes, the settlement represents
a significant amount of liquidity for the company.

In addition to the settlement, News America also entered into a
10-year shared mail distribution agreement with Valassis, the
specifics of which are not immediately clear.  In November, S&P
cited S&P's expectation that given the company's continued focus
on cost management, EBITDA would likely remain flat in 2010,
although the 'B+' corporate credit rating incorporates a degree of
profit volatility.  S&P's review will also focus on Valassis'
operating performance in the 2009 fourth quarter and its
expectations for 2010.

"In resolving the CreditWatch listing, S&P will review the
company's plans for the settlement proceeds and the current
operating environment," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Liz
Fairbanks.  "Our review will also focus on S&P's expectations for
the company's performance in 2010."

WILMINGTON TRUST: S&P Cuts Counterparty Credit Ratings to 'BB+/B'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
counterparty credit ratings on Wilmington Trust Corp. to 'BB+/B'
from 'BBB-/A-3', and on its main banking subsidiary, Wilmington
Trust Co. DE, to 'BBB-/A-3' from 'BBB/A-2.'  The outlooks are
negative.

The downgrades follow Wilmington's report of a large rise in
nonperforming assets in the 2009 fourth quarter, stemming mainly
from problematic residential construction loans in its Delaware
market.

"Although S&P has been very focused on Wilmington's high exposure
to construction lending and potentially volatile trends, the size
of this quarterly rise was larger than S&P anticipated when S&P
lowered Wilmington's counterparty rating by one notch in
December," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Barbara
Duberstein.  "We continue to believe that Wilmington is vulnerable
to possible spikes in NPAs and NCOs into 2010 because of both its
high exposure to commercial real estate and to large borrower
relationships with developers."

Positively, however, Wilmington reported solid pre-provision
earnings in the fourth quarter, supported by its corporate trust
and wealth management fee-based businesses.


W.R. GRACE: Reports $46.4 Million Net Income for Q4 2009
--------------------------------------------------------
W. R. Grace & Co. (NYSE: GRA) announced its financial results for
the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

Highlights for the fourth quarter include

    * Sales were $678.3 million compared with $768.4 million in
      the prior year quarter, a decrease of 11.7% including the
      effects of the deconsolidation of the ART joint venture.

    * Gross profit percentage increased to 36.6% from 27.2% in the
      prior year quarter and 34.8% in the third quarter of 2009.

    * Core EBIT grew to $76.4 million, an increase of 61.5%
      compared with the prior year quarter.

    * Grace net income was $46.4 million, an increase of 6.9%
      compared with the prior year quarter.

For the full year:

    * Adjusted operating cash flow was $446.5 million, an increase
      of 14.6% from the prior year.

    * Core EBIT return on invested capital increased to 22.3% from
      22.1% in the prior year.

"I am proud of our performance in 2009," said Fred Festa, Grace's
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We acted
quickly in one of the worst operating environments in a generation
to build a leaner, more profitable company.  We aggressively
reduced costs, decreased working capital intensity, and realigned
our product portfolio to increase gross profit margin and return
on invested capital in sustainable ways.  Our performance reflects
the quality of our products, the strength of our customer
relationships and the engagement of all of our employees. Grace is
well positioned for the opportunities and challenges of 2010."

                      CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS

On September 19, 2008, Grace filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization
as well as several associated documents, including a disclosure
statement, with the Bankruptcy Court.  The Joint Plan is
consistent with the terms of the previously announced settlements
of Grace's asbestos personal injury liability and claims related
to its former attic insulation product, and requires the
establishment of two asbestos trusts under Section 524(g) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code to which all present and future
asbestos-related claims would be channeled.

Confirmation hearings on the Joint Plan concluded in January 2010.
Confirmation and consummation of the Joint Plan are now subject to
the findings of the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court for
the District of Delaware and the satisfaction of other conditions,
many of which are outside Grace's control. Until such findings are
made and the conditions to consummation of the Joint Plan are
satisfied or waived, the timing of Grace's emergence from Chapter
11 will be uncertain. Subject to this uncertainty, Grace is
preparing to consummate the Joint Plan in June 2010.

Chapter 11 expenses, net of filing entity interest income, were
$11.6 million in the fourth quarter compared with $17.4 million in
the prior year quarter.  Chapter 11 expenses, net of filing entity
interest income, were $48.0 million for the year ended December
31, 2009 compared with $65.8 million in the prior year.

XERIUM TECHNOLOGIES: Extends Waivers until March 1
--------------------------------------------------
Xerium Technologies, Inc., has secured from certain of its lenders
an extension of its existing temporary loan covenant waivers until
March 1, 2010.  The lenders have extended the existing loan
covenant waivers in order to facilitate continued negotiations for
a comprehensive recapitalization of the Company.

Pursuant to the extension, certain lenders have agreed to extend
the previous waivers of any defaults resulting from the Company's
failure to comply with certain financial covenants under its
credit agreement for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2009, and to waive any defaults under agreements
creating the Company's existing hedging obligations and to extend
the forbearance thereof.

"We appreciate the support and commitment of our lenders as we
work within the prescribed framework to finalize an agreement,"
commented Stephen R. Light, Xerium's Chairman, CEO and President.
"We are eager to put this debt restructuring behind us as we
continue to move forward as a more competitive and operationally
efficient organization."

"We continue to caution you that there can be no assurance that we
will complete these negotiations in the time frame specified and
no assurance that the required one hundred percent of lenders will
vote in favor of any transaction substantially consistent with the
framework in order to implement the recapitalization without court
assistance."

* Fitch Says Municipal Bankr. Consideration a Grave Credit Concern
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings says distressed municipal governments that consider
bankruptcy protection will trigger a formal inquiry by Fitch.

"A municipality's consideration of filing for bankruptcy
protection is a grave credit concern"

"A municipality's consideration of filing for bankruptcy
protection is a grave credit concern," said Richard Raphael, Group
Managing Director and head of U.S. Public Finance at Fitch. "It
indicates not only severe financial stress but also a willingness
to compromise the credit standing of bondholders."

Fitch believes that the more bankruptcy is publicly discussed as
an option for financial relief, the more its tarnish wears off,
increasing the likelihood of its actual use. The short report also
suggests the potential broader implications of the City of Vallejo
bankruptcy.

* Sec. 363 Sales May Not Always Yield Best Return, Expert Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. bankruptcy practices have entered a new paradigm with the
widespread embrace of so-called "Section 363" sales -- greatly
sped up transactions in which assets sell free of liens and other
claims, and with a hearing rather than a full vote by creditors.
But when banks and lenders place too much emphasis on these sales
out of an irrational "need for speed," they risk losing sight of
the ultimate goal of any bankruptcy proceeding: maximizing
returns, writes Terrence Corrigan, managing director of Abacus
Advisers, in the January/February issue of ABF Journal, a leading
publication for commercial finance professionals.

In a piece titled "Not so fast: Do quick-and-easy 'Section 363'
sales always yield the best return on collateral?", Mr. Corrigan
acknowledges the role these sales have played in the recent
bankruptcies of a litany of cash-strapped businesses, including
Lehman Brothers, the Chicago Cubs, Filene's Basement, Velocity
Express, GM, Chrysler and Midway Games.  But Mr. Corrigan, who has
been involved in bankruptcy and creditors' rights matters for more
than 25 years as an attorney, consultant and lecturer, also points
to some of the rarely discussed downsides of this fast-track
approach to bankruptcy sales.

"Once invoked in only a discrete minority of cases, these
expedited sales are fast becoming the preferred way of monetizing
assets," he notes.  "Because legal fees and other costs can stack
up during a lengthy Chapter 11 reorganization, some asset-based
lenders might welcome this trend, reasoning that quicker sales
ultimately will translate into maximum return on collateral.  In
reality, however, Section 363 is anything but a one-size-fits-all
solution."

In a traditional Chapter 11 reorganization, for example, debtors
enjoy protections that prevent competitors from stepping in and
filing alternative plans.  The process does tend to be slow, but
with a few exceptions it is quite difficult to upset the plan once
it is underway.  "Section 363, by contrast, is far less tidy," Mr.
Corrigan writes.  "As debtors race to secure a bid, they might
well offer their favorite suitor a few too many bid concessions
like generous expense reimbursements or breakup fees or structural
requirements.  This can expose the process to charges of being
rigged in the bidder's favor.  If the court buys these arguments,
it is back to square one for all parties involved."  As an
example, Mr. Corrigan cites the fits-and-starts sale of Polaroid:
the process took five months after the court set aside the auction
results twice.

Parties' lingering concerns also are easier to address in a
traditional Chapter 11 plan, he maintains.  "If you are a pre-
petition lender in a Section 363 sale, it is true that the
proceeds are available to you once the assets are sold, but
certain issues might come back to haunt the deal, such as whether
the lender was partly to blame for the demise of the company," Mr.
Corrigan writes.  "Lawsuits could be filed with a view toward
subordinating or disallowing all or a portion of the secured
lender's claim."

Nor are all Section 363 sales created equal. Buyers, for example,
vary in their level of eagerness to participate in auctions and
their preparedness to close a deal, Mr. Corrigan observes.  "For
some buyers, Section 363 sales move too fast and they are unable
to submit their highest bid on the court-ordered timetable.  For
others, they are simply unwilling to participate in an unseemly
and widely publicized auction for the debtor's assets," he writes.
"In both situations, the likely result is less value being
realized for the debtor's assets.  Further, a Section 363 bid that
is conditioned upon either financing or due diligence makes little
sense for creditors, debtors and courts.  And yet, some would-be
buyers do indeed submit bids despite having plans to spend, say,
30 more days working on the bank loan, or 60 more days finishing
up their due diligence."

In the piece, Mr. Corrigan also points to one of the primary
drivers of the Section 363 trend -- the extreme caution that has
come to dominate lending amid the global credit crisis.  He notes
that banks have grown reluctant to make debtor-in-possession (DIP)
loans, even though these have historically ranked among the safest
possible investments.  DIP loans enable distressed retailers to,
say, continue operating through the holidays and thereby liquidate
more merchandise, or allow manufacturers to pay the rent, make
payroll and keep the lights on as they reorganize.

"It is a bad time to be a borrower, of course, but it is an even
worse time to be a borrower in bankruptcy," Mr. Corrigan writes.
"If you are a Filene's Basement or a Chrysler and you cannot
obtain DIP financing, handing the keys to the bankruptcy judge is
not an option. You do have to liquidate those assets somehow, and
so you are all but forced to hold a fire sale."

Thus, in many instances, banks are essentially forcing the quick-
and-easy route.  While it is perhaps understandable that many
banks are skittish about financing drawn-out Chapter 11
reorganizations, they ought to think twice about their
conservative approach to lower-risk DIP loans, Mr. Corrigan
argues.

"In the long run, a larger menu of bankruptcy options is in the
best interest of banks, trade creditors and debtors alike," he
writes.  "In situations where there is a degree of time-urgency,
moreover, a Section 363 sale might not be the only option.
Prepackaged bankruptcies, whereby debtors win the binding consent
of creditors prior to filing under Chapter 11, or pre-negotiated
bankruptcies, whereby most of the major constituencies are in
place prior to the filing, offer many of the same advantages as
traditional Chapter 11 reorganizations.  And yet, they can be just
as fast as 363 sales."

The point, he concludes, is not to push for Section 363 sales in
all cases.  Rather, Mr. Corrigan writes, "maximizing collateral
value at the time of sale is the ultimate imperative for secured
lenders.  They should never allow that strategic goal to be
eclipsed by an irrational 'need for speed.'"

                           *********

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.
