1ST AMERICAN: Community Development Bank Assumes All Deposits
-------------------------------------------------------------
1st American State Bank of Minnesota, Hancock, Minnesota, was
closed February 5 by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which
appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.
To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with Community Development Bank, FSB, Ogema,
Minnesota, to assume all of the deposits of 1st American State
Bank of Minnesota.

The two branches of 1st American State Bank of Minnesota will
reopen on Monday as branches of Community Development Bank, FSB.
Depositors of 1st American State Bank of Minnesota will
automatically become depositors of Community Development Bank,
FSB. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is
no need for customers to change their banking relationship to
retain their deposit insurance coverage. Customers should continue
to use the former 1st American State Bank of Minnesota branches
until they receive notice from Community Development Bank, FSB
that it has completed systems changes to allow other Community
Development Bank, FSB branches to process their accounts as well.

Friday evening and over the weekend, depositors of 1st American
State Bank of Minnesota were allowed to access their money by
writing checks or using ATM or debit cards.  Checks drawn on the
bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue
to make their payments as usual.

As of December 31, 2009, 1st American State Bank of Minnesota had
approximately $18.2 million in total assets and $16.3 million in
total deposits. Community Development Bank, FSB did not pay the
FDIC a premium to assume all of the deposits of 1st American State
Bank of Minnesota. In addition to assuming all of the deposits,
Community Development Bank, FSB agreed to purchase essentially all
of the failed bank's assets.

The FDIC and Community Development Bank, FSB entered into a loss-
share transaction on $11.7 million of 1st American State Bank of
Minnesota's assets. Community Development Bank, FSB will share in
the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share
agreement. The loss-share transaction is projected to maximize
returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private
sector. The transaction also is expected to minimize disruptions
for loan customers. For more information on loss share, please
visit:
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html.

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-523-8159.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/1stamerican.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $3.1 million.  Community Development Bank, FSB's
acquisition of all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution
for the FDIC's DIF compared to all alternatives.  1st American
State Bank of Minnesota is the 16th FDIC-insured institution to
fail in the nation this year, and the third in Minnesota.  The
last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Marshall
Bank, N.A., Hallock , January 29, 2010.

ADVANTA CORP: Gets Permission to Reject Suite Lease Agreements
--------------------------------------------------------------
Advanta Corp. gained permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware to turn in the keys to suites at Citizens
Bank Park (home of the Philadelphia Phillies major league baseball
club) and Lincoln Financial Field (home of the Philadelphia Eagles
national football league club).

Eric Morath at Dow Jones Newswires reports that Advanta said the
suite lease agreements were a "financial drain" that "provide no
corresponding benefit or utility."  Mr. Morath says Advanta didn't
say how much the suites cost the company.  Mr. Morath notes
Journal Register Co. -- which emerged from bankruptcy last year --
saved nearly $150,000 per year by dumping its Eagles suite as part
of its Chapter 11 reorganization.

                       About Advanta Corp.

Advanta Corp. -- http://www.advanta.com/-- has had a 59-year
history of being a leading innovator in the financial services
industry and of providing great value to its stakeholders,
including its senior retail note holders and shareholders, prior
to the recent reversals.  It has also been a major civic and
charitable force in the communities in which it is based,
particularly in the Greater Philadelphia area.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation placed significant
restrictions on the activities of Advanta Corp.'s Advanta Bank
Corp. following financial woes by the banking unit.

As of Sept. 30, 2009, the Company had $2,497,897,000 in assets
against total liabilities of $2,465,936,000 but the figures
included those of the banking units.

On November 8, 2009, Advanta Corp. filed for Chapter 11 (Bankr. D.
Del. Case No. 09-13931).  Attorneys at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP,
and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., serve as bankruptcy counsel.
Alvarez & Marsal serves as financial advisor.  The Garden City
Group, Inc., serves as claims agent.  The filing did not include
Advanta Bank.  The petition says that Advanta Corp.'s assets
totaled $363,000,000 while debts totaled $331,000,000 as of
Sept. 30, 2009.


ADVANTA CORP: Stonehill Capital Ceases to be Owner of 5% of Stock

ALERIS INTERNATIONAL: Files Plan of Reorganization
--------------------------------------------------
Aleris International, Inc., filed its proposed Plan of
Reorganization (Plan) and related draft Disclosure Statement with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.  With this filing, Aleris
and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries co-debtors are positioned
to emerge from chapter 11 protection by mid-year.

The Plan has substantial support from Aleris's creditors, as
demonstrated by an Equity Commitment Agreement executed by certain
investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.,
affiliates of Apollo Management, L.P. and Sankaty Advisors, LLC,
respectively.  Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Agreement, the
Backstop Parties have committed to backstop a rights offering of
equity and debt of up to approximately $690 million.  Such
creditors hold over 67% of Aleris's U.S. Roll-up Term Loan.
Proceeds of the rights offering will be used to provide working
capital to the Company and to fund payments under the Plan,
including repayment of the debtor-in-possession financing, payment
of administrative expenses, and funding of distributions to
prepetition creditors.

"The filing of the Plan of Reorganization with this level of
creditor support represents a major milestone in our ongoing
efforts to position Aleris to emerge from chapter 11 with
financial stability and an operationally sound and competitive
foundation for the long term," said Steven J. Demetriou, Aleris
Chairman and CEO.  "Since our filing last February, we have made
significant improvements to our operations worldwide, reducing
overhead, manufacturing costs and global headcount, as well as
achieving significant productivity and customer service
improvements. When Aleris emerges from chapter 11, we will have
eliminated all of our term loan and unsecured debt and will have a
strong balance sheet, significantly reduced operating costs and
greater financial flexibility.  The strong financial support and
equity ownership commitment from the Backstop Parties demonstrate
confidence in Aleris's future."

Demetriou continued, "As the economy recovers, and as our
customers' businesses improve, we will be well-positioned to
resume a path of growth and continue to build Aleris into a global
aluminum enterprise for the long-term benefit of our customers,
suppliers, business partners and employees.  We greatly appreciate
the continued support and hard work of our employees around the
world during this restructuring process.  Because of their
commitment to the business, we have fully satisfied the needs of
our existing customers without interruption while establishing
relationships with new ones.  We would like to thank both current
and new customers, suppliers and other business partners for their
continued loyalty during this process.  While we remain cautious
in the near term due to continued uncertainty in the global
economic environment, our restructured balance sheet, enhanced
liquidity, operational improvements, and cost control will
position Aleris well for long-term growth."

The Bankruptcy Court has set the hearing to consider approval of
the Disclosure Statement for March 12, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. EST.
Following Bankruptcy Court approval of the Disclosure Statement
and related voting solicitation procedures, the Company will
solicit acceptances of the Plan and seek its confirmation by the
Bankruptcy Court.

Key elements of the Plan of Reorganization, as currently proposed
and subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, are as follows:

Holders of U.S. Roll-up Term Loans, European Roll-up Loans and
European Term Loans will have the option to receive cash, or
equity in Aleris and rights to participate in the rights offering
for equity and notes;

The Backstop Parties have committed to invest up to $690 million
in the reorganized company, subject to customary conditions;

The reorganized company will emerge from chapter 11 as a privately
held enterprise majority owned by existing creditors led by the
Backstop Parties, which are the largest providers of the Company's
Debtor-in-Possession ("DIP") Term Loan financing;

All administrative expenses, including 503(b)(9) trade claims,
will be paid in full;

The Plan establishes a "convenience class" in which holders of
unsecured claims other than debt claims whose claims are allowed
at or reduced to $10,000 may recover 25% or 50% of their allowed
claims (depending upon the amount of the 503(b)(9) administrative
expenses paid);

Other holders of general unsecured claims, including unsecured
debt claims, will be entitled to share in a cash pool of $4
million; and

The Company will have a minimum of $233 million of liquidity
through cash and an anticipated $500 million asset-backed
revolving credit facility upon emergence.

In order to facilitate the global restructuring of all of the debt
on Aleris's balance sheet, Aleris simultaneously filed a voluntary
petition for relief under chapter 11 as well as a Plan of
Reorganization for its German holding company subsidiary, Aleris
Deutschland Holding GmbH ("ADH"), in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Delaware. ADH and its obligations are included as part of the
overall Aleris Plan of Reorganization described above.  ADH is a
non-operating holding company and has no employees or operating
assets and conducts no commercial business.  Accordingly, ADH's
filing will have no impact on Aleris operations in Germany or
elsewhere in Europe, which continue to operate outside of the U.S.
bankruptcy process, without interruption.

As previously announced, on February 12, 2009, Aleris
International, Inc., and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary co-
debtors filed petitions for voluntary reorganization under chapter
11.  This action was taken as a result of financial constraints
related to the deteriorating global economic situation, declining
industrial demand, and a swift drop in aluminum prices.  The
Company's European, Asian, South American, and Mexican operations
were not included in the filing and have continued to operate as
usual outside of the chapter 11 process.  Imsamet, Inc.,
headquartered in Goodyear, AZ, and HT Aluminum Incorporated,
headquartered in Hammond, IN, also were not included in the
chapter 11 filing.

AMR CORP: JAL Might Stick With American Airlines
------------------------------------------------
Mariko Sanchanta and Mike Esterl at The Wall Street Journal report
that Japan Airlines Corp. is leaning toward maintaining its
longstanding alliance with AMR Corp.'s American Airlines instead
of teaming up with Delta Air Lines Inc.

The Journal, citing people close to the protracted tug-of-war for
Asia's largest carrier, relates that American's bid to keep JAL
has gained traction recently at least in part because of growing
concerns a JAL-Delta partnership would trigger antitrust concerns
in the U.S.

The Troubled Company Reporter, citing the Wall Street Journal,
said on January 13, 2010, that Japanese government officials were
pushing JAL to choose Delta as its new alliance partner over
American.  People familiar with the matter told the Journal at
that time that JAL received official advice that a tie-up with
Delta would be more advantageous on the grounds that Delta has a
more robust trans-Pacific flight network and a stronger Asian
network than American.

The Journal now relates one person close to the deliberations said
JAL's new chairman, Kazuo Inamori, started from scratch in
deciding whether Asia's biggest carrier by revenue should ally
itself with Fort Worth, Texas-based American or Atlanta-based
Delta in a joint venture on trans-Pacific flights.

Mr. Inamori, who took over as JAL's chairman Feb. 1, has had
conversations with officials in Washington focusing on whether a
Delta-JAL tie-up would receive antitrust immunity, the Journal's
source added.

The Journal relates the Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. of
Japan, the quasi-governmental body that is tasked with
restructuring JAL, is also favoring a broader tie-up with
American.

JAL plans to tell Delta as early as this week that it will
terminate the tie-up negotiation, while together with American the
Japanese airline will apply for anti-trust immunity with the US
Department of Transportation within this month, the AFP reports
citing the Nikkei business daily.

Masaru Onishi, the new president of JAL, said an official decision
on a partner is slated to be made this week or early next week,
the Journal notes.

ARTHUR GROOM: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Due to Recession
--------------------------------------------------------------
Arthur Groom & Co. Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
on February 4 in Newark, New Jersey (Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 10-
13221).

Hugh R. Morley at NewJersey.com reports the Company blamed the
recession for the filing.  Court papers show the Company's revenue
fell from $4.1 million in 2007 to $3.2 million last year.

According to report, the Company and founder Arthur Groom,
personally, face three lawsuits filed last year by creditors,
alleging that they owe a combined total of nearly $1.3 million
from equipment leases signed between 2006 and 2009.  In November,
a federal judge in Newark awarded a judgment of $412,800 against
the Company and Mr. Groom for unpaid equipment leases.  Court
papers show Mr. Groom also owes $2 million to TD Bank for a
revolving credit note.

Ridgewood, New Jersey based Arthur Groom & Co. Inc. is a wholesale
vendor of emeralds and high end jewelry.  The Company reported
assets of $1 million to $10 million, and liabilities of more than
$10 million.  The Company's top 20 unsecured creditors are owed
$13.5 million.  John DiIorio, Esq., at Shapiro & Croland,
represents the Company in its Chapter 11 effort.

ASARCO LLC: Insists on Revocation of Directors' Bonuses
-------------------------------------------------------
ASARCO LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas a reply (i) in further support of its
withdrawal notice with prejudice of its $6.5 million bonus
request for Edward R. Caine, H. Malcolm Lovett, Jr., and Joseph
F. Lapinsky, and (ii) in opposition to the Directors' objection
to the Withdrawal Notice.

Messrs. Caine and Lovett are members of the ASARCO LLC Board of
Directors of ASARCO.  Mr. Lapinsky served as the former chief
executive officer of ASARCO LLC.

"Messrs. Caine, Lovett and Lapinsky want something to which they
are not entitled under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable
corporate law," Charles A. Beckham, Jr., Esq., at Haynes and
Boone, LLP, in Houston, Texas, tells the Court.  He contends that
the Directors' vote approving the bonuses and the Directors'
attempt to shirk their own fiduciary duties, by putting the onus
on the Court to determine the "proper amount" of the bonuses,
constitutes a waste of corporate assets.

Because the Directors' action is clearly improper, ASARCO LLC
rescinded the bonuses and withdrew the Bonus Motion, Mr. Beckham
avers.  He maintains that ASARCO's action to rescind the bonuses
and withdraw the Bonus Motion was neither improper nor
inequitable.  Accordingly, ASARCO urges the Court to overrule the
Directors' Objection to the Bonus Motion withdrawal.

"If the [Directors] believe that their employment contracts
obligate ASARCO to pay them the bonuses in question, or that
there is an independent statutory basis under [the Bankruptcy
Code] for payment of such bonuses, then they are free to file an
action for breach of contract or rely upon the bankruptcy laws
and file a motion of their own," Mr. Beckham says.  "Until they
do so, there is no request for relief before this Court in
respect of the payment of any bonuses to the [Directors], and the
Objection should be overruled," he continues.

Mr. Beckham further argues that the Directors simply have failed
to explain how Delaware corporate law or Chapter 11 practice
blocks the ability of the Board to rescind the bonuses and ASARCO
LLC to withdraw the Bonus Motion.

               ASARCO Responds to Court's Inquiry

In a separate memorandum, ASARCO filed a response to the Court's
inquiry as to the position of parties with respect to the
applicability of the Confirmation Order, as supplemented, to the
question of the propriety of the action taken by ASARCO LLC and
the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors post-
Plan Confirmation and pre-Plan Effective Date in asking the Court
to award bonuses to Messrs. Lovett, Caine and Lapinsky.

Counsel to the Debtors, Mr. Beckham emphasizes that the Bonus
Motion, when filed on December 4, 2009, was in clear violation of
Judge Hanen's Confirmation Order and should have not been filed.
He notes that once the facts became clear, ASARCO LLC withdrew
the bonus request with prejudice.

On behalf of ASARCO LLC, Mr. Beckham elaborates that the
Confirmation Order, as supplemented, prohibits ASARCO LLC, during
the period from the Confirmation Date through the Plan Effective
Date, from entering into, or seeking the approval of, any
settlement of administrative, secured or unsecured claims or any
payment by ASARCO LLC out of the ordinary course of business in
excess of $1 million in the aggregate, without the prior written
approval of Asarco Inc., as the parent company of the Debtor.

"The bonuses were not surprise gifts out of thin air," Mr.
Beckham asserts.

Mr. Beckham argues that self-interested Directors Lovett and
Caine voted to award the bonuses and established the amounts for
themselves and Mr. Lapinsky.  "They, and they alone, caused the
bonuses to be awarded, pursuant to unarticulated contractual or
statutory standards (indeed, such approval was over the strong
objection of the third member of the Board, Mr. Ruiz)," Mr.
Beckhman continues.

Messrs. Lovett, Caine and Lapinsky, all independent of ASARCO
LLC, are asserting a right to payment from the Debtor, Mr.
Beckham notes.  He contends that Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy
Code is absolutely clear that the payment demand, whether based
in law or equity, and whether fixed or contingent, matured or
unmatured, or disputed or undisputed, is a claim.

"The Bonus Motion was an effort by the self-interested outgoing
directors and CEO to resolve their bonus claims in amounts up to
$6.5 million in the aggregate, and to cause payment of such
amounts clearly outside the ordinary course of the Debtors'
business," Mr. Beckham adds.

               Caine, Lovett & Lapinsky Talk Back

Messrs. Caine and Lovett jointly file a memorandum to address two
issues raised by ASARCO LLC and the Court:

  (1) The Court requested briefing on issues of whether ASARCO
      LLC's actions in approving the bonuses to Messrs. Caine,
      Lovett and Lapinsky on December 3, 2009, violated the
      District Court's Order entered December 3, 2009,
      supplementing the original Confirmation Order; and

  (2) The memorandum will address the question posed by the
      Court of why Messrs. Caine and Lovett did not negotiate
      the right to seek at bonus at the time of their
      appointment.

The Directors acknowledge that the Supplemental Confirmation
Order provides that from the Confirmation Date through and until
the Plan Effective date, the Debtors will take no action that
would materially adversely affect or materially delay the ability
of the Debtors or the Parent to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Confirmation Order and the Parent's Plan,
including with respect to asset dispositions and other matters
out of the ordinary course of business of economic significance
over $1 million, which amount was previously pegged at
$10 million.

However, David R. Jones, Esq., at Porter & Hedges, L.L.P., in
Houston, Texas, contends that Messrs. Caine, Lovett and Lapinsky
each received the award of a bonus for their efforts subject only
to a determination of the amount by the Court in accordance with
the original intent of the Directors' engagement and pursuit to a
valid board action.  On behalf of the Directors, Mr. Jones
insists that the award of the director bonuses created
administrative claims for which the Bankruptcy Court has
exclusive jurisdiction to determine.

Mr. Jones argues that the December 3, 2009 Board Resolution
approving the bonuses did not violate the Supplemental
Confirmation Order because the Resolution was passed prior to the
entry of the Supplemental Order.

Messrs. Caine and Lovett also add that they did not include in
their employment agreements the possibility of being able to
request a bonus because there is no existing contract and the
terms of the independent directors' engagement were established
prior to their selection.  The Directors note that it was the
intent of the parties that compensation of independent board
members would be adjusted once the requirements of the position
were better known.

Messrs. Caine, Lovett and Lapinsky, therefore, ask the Court to
deny the attempted withdrawal of the Bonus Motion, and set a
hearing date to consider the proper amount of the proposed bonus
payments.

ASARCO LLC: Parent Submits Counterproposal to Union
---------------------------------------------------
At District Judge Andrew Hanen's direction, Asarco Incorporated
and Americas Mining Corporation inform the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Texas that it has caused ASARCO LLC,
as the employer of the employees covered under the existing
collective bargaining agreement, to make a counter proposal to
the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union
AFL-CIO.

A copy of the counter proposal to the Union is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/ASARCO_CProposal_01152010.pdf

The counter proposal contemplates:

  -- the extension of the "in place" collective bargaining
     agreement by one year through June 30, 2011; and

  -- the appointment of one person to serve on the Board of
     Directors of ASARCO LLC from the date of acceptance of the
     CBA through the extended term of the CBA.

The counter proposal, the Parent notes, by virtue of the fact
that it would continue all of the effective terms of the existing
CBA, necessarily addresses every item in dispute among the
parties and thus, represents the counter proposal to the Union's
last proposed items for a "successor labor agreement."

ASARCO LLC: Proposes Examiner to Check on $228 Mil. in Fees
-----------------------------------------------------------
Over $228 million in professional fees and $13 million in
expenses have been paid by ASARCO LLC over the course of its
bankruptcy case, Charles A. Beckham, Jr., Esq., at Haynes and
Boone, LLP, in Houston, Texas, tells the Court.  Irrespective
however of the factors that led to the success of ASARCO LLC's
reorganization and however qualified and competent the
professionals in the case may be, Mr. Beckham notes that the
administrative cost of the case has been staggering and the Court
has an unquestionable statutory duty to review and evaluate the
fee applications of the bankruptcy professionals for the
reasonableness and necessity of the fees and expenses requested.

To aid the Court in the matter, ASARCO LLC seeks the appointment
of an independent fee examiner to help ensure that the
professional services rendered to its bankruptcy estate were
reasonable, necessary and cost-effective as required by the
Bankruptcy Code.

The appointment of an independent fee examiner, a common practice
in large and complex cases, will provide the Court with a sound
and objective data resource in determining whether the
extraordinarily voluminous fee applications and underlying
timesheet transcripts and expense statements that underlie the
enormous administrative fees and expenses requested in the case
were for the actual and necessary benefit of the estate and its
creditors, Mr. Beckham contends.

ASARCO LLC suggests that the fee examiner's role focus on the
examination of (i) final fee applications, (ii) substantial
contribution claims, and (iii) other requests for extraordinary
attorneys' fees in connection with general unsecured claims with
respect to the general reasonableness and necessity of the
services provided -- including any duplication of services and
the factors influencing the cost-effectiveness of the services
rendered and expenses requested -- with specific findings in:

  -- reconciliation of paper invoices and electronic data and
     loss runs;

  -- allocation of block billed entries;

  -- analysis and coding of fee and expense data;

  -- generation of non-compliant exception reports; and

  -- preparation of a written report of the examiner's findings,
     conclusions and opinions and provision of supporting
     documents and schedules.

                           Responses

A. FCR, et al.

Robert C. Pate, the Future Claims Representative for ASARCO LLC,
the Asbestos Subsidiaries and the Subsidiary Debtors, and
Oppenheimer, Blend, Harrison & Tate, Inc., counsel to the FCR,
jointly filed their objection to the Fee Examiner Appointment
Motion.

Debra L. Innocenti, Esq., at Oppenheimer, Blend, Harrison & Tate,
Inc., in San Antonio, Texas, contends that the appointment of a
Fee Examiner is not mandatory because the mandatory nature of
Section 1104(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code in cases with more than
$5 million in unsecured debt is inapplicable in the Debtors'
cases.  She also asserts that no cause exists for a Fee Examiner
because all creditors have been paid in full with interest and
thus, should have no interest in any of the Final Fee
Applications.

"A Fee Examiner will not serve a useful purpose," Ms. Innocenti
argues.  "It is more appropriate and logical for the Debtors or
the Parent to hire their own auditor to conduct the analysis
described by the Application."  She adds that any "subjective
analysis" supplied by the proposed Fee Examiner would be of no
assistance to the Court in ruling on the Final Fee Applications,
and would invade the province of the Court.

The fees and expenses requested in the Debtor's case, Ms.
Innocenti remains, does not diminish the assets of the estates to
the detriment of creditor recovery.

B. DOJ/ENRD

The Environment and Natural Resources Division of the United
States of America's Department of Justice tells the Court that it
is not taking a position at this time on the issue of whether it
is appropriate to appoint a fee examiner after the effective date
of a confirmed plan of reorganization.

DOJ/ENRD believes that should it file any application or motion
for reimbursement of expenses, it is possible that the role of
the Fee Examiner as to its application might well be limited,
different or non-existent.  DOJ/ENRD nevertheless asserts that
the proposed order submitted by ASARCO LLC is broadly worded and,
if entered, should be without prejudice to the right of any
individual claimant to seek further guidance from the Court about
the scope of the Fee Examiner's duties as to their specific
claims.

The role of a Fee Examiner needs to be carefully considered after
the Application Deadline and after further discussions among the
affected parties, DOJ/ENRD insists.  DOJ/ENRD hence reserves the
right to oppose the use of a fee examiner in connection with any
application or motion filed by the United States.  DOJ/ENRD also
objects to the entry of the proposed order ASARCO LLC submitted
as an attachment to the Fee Examiner Motion.

C. Baker Botts

The Debtors' former counsel, Baker Botts L.L.P., relates that it
does not oppose the appointment of a fee examiner if the Court
determines that a fee examiner would be of assistance in carrying
out the Court's responsibility to review professional fee
requests.  The Court, however, should tailor and limit the scope
of the Fee Examiner's duties, asserts Jack L. Kinzie, Esq., at
Baker Botts L.L.P., in Dallas, Texas.

If ever appointed, a Fee Examiner should also not inquire into or
opine concerning the reasonableness of fees and expenses, Mr.
Kinzie further asserts.

Baker Botts filed its own proposed order on the Fee Examiner
Motion.

D. Stutzman Bromberg

Stutzman, Bromberg, Esserman & Plifka, counsel to the Official
Committee of Asbestos Claimants, insists that the appointment of
a fee examiner at this point in the Debtors' bankruptcy cases is
unnecessary and inappropriate.  Stutzman Bromberg maintains that
that Reorganized ASARCO, the Parent, and their counsel have all
of the necessary resources at their disposal to review and
identify any potential issues with the Final Fee Applications.

A fee examiner appointment at this late stage in the Debtors'
cases is unlikely to benefit the Court in its review of the Final
Fee Applications, Stutzman Bromberg contends.

Nevertheless, the firm asserts that in the event the Court
decides to appoint a fee examiner, the Examiner's role should be
limited and Reorganized ASARCO and the Parent should pay the fees
and expenses associated with the appointment.

E. Jordan Hyden

Jordan, Hyden, Womble, Culbreth & Holzer, P.C., joins the
objection of the Future Claims Representative.  However, if the
Court believes appointment of a fee examiner is warranted, Jordan
Hyden joins the request of Baker Botts that the scope of the
examiner's work be appropriately limited.

ASARCO LLC: Proposes to Settle Werner Enterprises' Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
ASARCO LLC asks the Court to approve its stipulation with Werner
Enterprises, Inc., for the allowance of Claim No. 9705 and the
disallowance of Claim No. 19228.

In 2005, Werner provided certain services for and on behalf of
ASARCO related to ASARCO's ongoing business.  Werner filed Claim
No. 9705 against ASARCO for $117,534 as a general unsecured, non-
priority claim.

ASARCO then filed an adversary proceeding, seeking to avoid
certain preferential transfers, including prepetition amounts
paid to Werner for services rendered.  As a precautionary measure
against the Avoidance Action, Werner filed amended Claim No.
19228 for $733,889.

Werner and ASARCO subsequently engaged in good faith negotiations
and have stipulated that:

  -- Werner will have, on account of Claim No. 9705, an allowed
     general unsecured, non-priority claim for $117,534 in
     ASARCO LLC's Chapter 11 case;

  -- Claim No. 19228 will be disallowed in full, with prejudice;

  -- The Debtors will dismiss with prejudice any claims against
     Werner in the Adversary Proceeding; and

  -- All other outstanding claims held by ASARCO and Werner
     against each other are disallowed, released, and waived.

ASPEN LAND: Federal Judge Dismisses Chapter 11 Proceeding
---------------------------------------------------------
Carolyn Sackariason at The Aspen Times reports that a federal
judge dismissed the Chapter 11 case of Aspen Land Fund II LLC at
the behest of Alpine Bank.

According to the report, Alpine Bank sought the dismissal in an
effort to collect on a $22.5 million promissory note that the
Company owes.  Alpine Bank had claimed that it is not adequately
protected because it says the value of the Company's collateral is
nearly $4.5 million less than the debt owed.  The promissory note
is secured by a deed of trust, and the vacant property on South
Aspen Street is being used as collateral.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 25, 2010,
Alpine Bank stated that the dismissal of the Chapter 11 case is
necessary because:

   -- there is no likelihood of rehabilitation; and

   -- it will reduce the administrative costs to the estate,
      including, but not limited to, fees payable to the Debtor's
      counsel and fees payable.

Based in Newport Beach, California, Aspen Land Fund II LLC is a
development group that wants to build a hotel at the base of Aspen
Mountain.  The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on
Sept. 25, 2009 (Bankr. D. Col. Case No. 09-30162).  In its
petition, the Debtor said it has $31,572,828 in assets and
$34,695,549 in debts.

ATRIUM CORP: DIP Financing, Cash Collateral Use Get Interim OK
--------------------------------------------------------------
Atrium Corp., et al., sought and obtained interim authorization
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to (i)
obtain postpetition secured financing from a syndicate of lenders
led by GE Business Financial Services Inc. as administrative
agent, and (ii) use cash collateral.

The DIP lenders have committed to provide up to $40 million
delayed draw term loan, $15 million of which will be made
available to the Debtors upon entry of the interim order.
Borrowings under the DIP facility that are repaid cannot be
reborrowed.

The attorneys for the Debtors -- Domenic E. Pacitti, Esq., at
Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP, and Richard M. Cieri, Esq.,
at Kirkland & Ellis LLP -- explain that the Debtors need the money
to fund their Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties,
pursuant to a 13-week budget.  A copy of the budget is available
for free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/ATRIUM_budget.pdf

The DIP facility will mature on July 20, 2010, with the
possibility of extension to October 20, 2010, to that extent that,
among other things, the majority lenders determine that the
Debtors are diligently pursuing the confirmation of the Plan in
good faith.

The DIP facility will incur interest at (i) 8.5% plus the
alternative base rate for the period that that loan is an
alternative base rate loan; and (ii) 9.5% plus the LIBOR rate for
the period that the loan is a LIBOR loan.

The DIP financing contemplates the granting of postpetition liens
on substantially all of the Debtors' assets, including (i) a first
priority lien on all unencumbered DIP collateral and, upon entry
of the final order, proceeds of the Debtors' claims; (ii) a junior
lien on all DIP collateral that is subject to certain prepetition
liens; and (iii) first priority, senior priming lien on all DIP
collateral that is senior and priming to certain prepetition
liens, including those under the prepetition secured credit
agreement, but that is junior to the carve out and the prepetition
prior liens.

The DIP financing also contemplates that all borrowings will
constitute allowed super-priority administrative claims and will
have priority, subject only to the carve-out, over all
administrative expense claims whether or not the claims may become
secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or
attachment.

The Debtors covenant with the lenders not to let their
consolidated EBITDA for the measurement period ending as of the
last day of each calendar month fall below $45 million.

The Debtors covenant the lenders not to let the capital
expenditures, for the measurement period ending on any date set
forth in these dates, exceed these amounts:

           Date                            Amount
      January 31, 2010                  $14,040,000
      February 28, 2010                 $15,480,000
      March 31, 2010                    $16,200,000
      April 30, 2010                    $17,040,000
      May 31, 2010                      $18,120,000
      June 30, 2010                     $18,360,000
      July 31, 2010                     $19,320,000
      August 31, 2010                   $20,880,000
      September 30, 2010                $21,600,000

Availability plus A/R Availability plus unrestricted cash on
deposit in any deposit account of the Debtors must not be less
than $5 million at any time.

The Debtors are required to pay a host of fees, including (i) a
$50,000 arranging fee payable to the DIP Agent that is earned and
payable upon entry of the interim order; (ii) a non-refundable
agency fee payable in advance upon entry of the interim order and
every three months thereafter, in the amount of $50,000; (iii) an
upfront facility fee totaling $1.2 million, $600,000 of which will
be payable to the DIP Agent for distribution to the DIP Lenders on
a pro rata basis upon entry of the interim order; and (iv) an
unused facility fee equal to 1.0% per annum on the average daily
unused balance of the DIP facility, payable monthly in arrears.

A copy of the DIP financing is available for free at:

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

Messrs. Pacitti and Cieri say that the Debtors will also use the
Cash Collateral to provide additional liquidity.  In exchange for
using the cash collateral, the Debtors propose to grant the
prepetition lenders:

     (i) replacement liens on all assets of the Debtors, which
         will be junior in priority to the liens securing the DIP
         facility, the carve out and any prior liens;

    (ii) a superpriority administrative expense claim that is
         junior in priority to payment of the carve-out and to the
         superpriority administrative expense claim in respect of
         the DIP facility;

   (iii) current cash payment of a portion of the interest due
         under the prepetition secured credit agreement equal to
         the LIBOR rate with all other interest due under the
         prepetition secured credit agreement being capitalized
         and added to the outstanding principal balance of the
         applicable prepetition secured obligations; and

    (iv) current cash payment of reasonable and documented fees,
         costs and expenses of one primary counsel and local
         counsel for each of the prepetition secured lenders
         constituting majority term lenders and one financial
         advisor to be retained by the prepetition agent for the
         benefit of the prepetition lenders.

The Court has set a final hearing for February 22, 2010, at
9:00 a.m. for the Debtors' request to obtain DIP financing and
cash collateral.

                     DIP Financing Objections

U.S. Bank National Association, the indenture trustee, has
objected to the Debtors' request to obtain DIP financing and cash
collateral, saying that it and other creditors haven"t had an
adequate opportunity to review the DIP motion and many provisions
should be subject to Committee scrutiny.  "The DIP motion unfairly
confers benefits on the prepetition secured lenders not required
by principles of adequate protection.  The prepetition lenders,
who are affiliated with the proposed DIP lender, are obtaining
inappropriate and excessive relief not supported by adequate
protection principles," says U.S. Bank.

According to U.S. Bank, the Carve-out for Committee professionals
is inadequate.  "Not only will the Committee in this case be
subject to inadequate notice and extreme time constraints, but the
Debtors would further constrain the Committee's ability to
meaningfully represent the interests of other parties in interest
by limiting their fees to $250,000.  The trigger notice feature
would further reduce this Carve-out for the Committee's
professionals to $50,000, which is clearly inadequate to protect
the estate," U.S. Bank states.

U.S. Bank is represented by Dorsey & Whitney (Delaware) LLP and
Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, LLP.

ATRIUM CORP: Babson Objects to Prepackaged Plan
-----------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Babson Capital
Management LLC, a holder of 11% senior subordinated notes, served
notice that it intends to fight the prepackaged plan of Atrium
Corp.

The Plan, negotiated with holders of more than two-thirds of the
senior secured debt, would give either 7.5% or 2% of the new stock
to holders of the two issues of subordinated notes totaling $268
million, depending on which of two plan options becomes effective.

According to the report, Babson objects to how the Plan forces the
11% noteholders to waive their rights to enforce subordination
provisions in the 15% note issue.  Babson filed a preliminary
objection to insure its ability to conduct discovery in advance of
the Feb. 22 hearing to approve the disclosure statement explaining
the Plan.

The Bloomberg report relates Babson said it also wants to find out
why the company hasn't challenged a pre-bankruptcy exchange offer
as a fraudulent transfer.  The exchange resulted in the issuance
of the 15% subordinated notes.

BANK OF AMERICA: Agrees to Pay $150 Million to Settle SEC Charges
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4 filed a
motion seeking court approval of a proposed settlement whereby
Bank of America will pay $150 million and strengthen its corporate
governance and disclosure practices to settle SEC charges that the
company failed to properly disclose employee bonuses and financial
losses at Merrill Lynch before shareholders approved the merger of
the companies in December 2008.

The SEC previously filed two sets of charges in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York alleging Bank of
America failed to disclose material information to shareholders
prior to their vote to approve the merger with Merrill Lynch.  In
the first enforcement action on Aug. 3, 2009, the Commission
charged Bank of America with failing to disclose, in proxy
materials soliciting shareholder votes for approval of the merger,
its prior agreement authorizing Merrill to pay year-end bonuses of
up to $5.8 billion to its employees prior to the closing of the
merger.  In the second enforcement action on Jan. 12, 2010, the
Commission charged Bank of America with failing to disclose the
extraordinary losses that Merrill sustained in October and
November 2008.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, which are subject to
approval by the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff, the $150 million penalty
will be distributed to Bank of America shareholders harmed by the
Bank's alleged disclosure violations.  The Commission will propose
a distribution plan at a later date.

The proposed settlement requires Bank of America to implement and
maintain seven remedial undertakings for a period of three years:

    * Retain an independent auditor to perform an audit of the
      Bank's internal disclosure controls, similar to an audit of
      financial reporting controls currently required by the
      federal securities laws.

    * Have its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers
      certify that they have reviewed all annual and merger proxy
      statements.

    * Retain disclosure counsel who will report to, and advise,
      the Board's Audit Committee on the Bank's disclosures,
      including current and periodic filings and proxy statements.

    * Adopt a "super-independence" standard for all members of the
      Board's Compensation Committee that prohibits them from
      accepting other compensation from the Bank.

    * Maintain a consultant to the Compensation Committee that
      would also meet super-independence criteria.

    * Provide shareholders with an annual non-binding "say on pay"
      with respect to executive compensation.

    * Implement and maintain incentive compensation principles and
      procedures and prominently publish them on Bank of America's
      Web site.

The proposed settlement includes a Statement of Facts describing
the details behind the allegations in the actions based on the
discovery record.

The SEC is grateful for the support and cooperation of Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo and the Office of the New York State Attorney
General.  The SEC also thanks Attorney General Roy Cooper,
Attorney General of the State of North Carolina, and his staff for
their collaboration on the terms of the proposed settlement.  The
SEC acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's offices for
the Southern District of New York and Western District of North
Carolina, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of
The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief.

BERNARD MADOFF: Ex-Client Advances Hike to $99-Mil. in 3 Months
---------------------------------------------------------------
Erik Larson at Bloomberg News reports that Irving H. Picard, the
liquidator of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC,
approved $99 million in cash advances to 330 of Bernard Madoff's
former customers in the past three months, as victims accused him
of miscalculating repayment on their claims.

According to the report, the new figures were revealed on Mr.
Picard's Web site on Feb. 2, the same day his methodology for
valuing those claims was criticized at a hearing in New York by
victims' lawyers who said the claims should be much larger.

The industry-financed Securities Investor Protection Corp., which
hired Mr. Picard, has committed to pay $633 million on 1,888
claims, the trustee said.  That's an increase from $534 million
granted on 1,558 claims at the end of October.

U.S. District Judge Burton Lifland is expected to issue a ruling
as to whether to approve or reject Mr. Picard's method of
calculating claims based on customer deposits minus withdrawals.
Victims want the amounts to be based on their final account
statements, which include years' worth of fake profit from the
fraud.

                    About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L.
Madoff orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with
losses topping US$50 billion.

On December 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A. Stanton of the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted
the application of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation
for a decree adjudicating that the customers of BLMIS are in need
of the protection afforded by the Securities Investor Protection
Act of 1970.  The District Court's Protective Order (i) appointed
Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee for the liquidation of BLMIS,
(ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP as his counsel, and (iii)
removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding to the Bankruptcy Court
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789) (Lifland, J.).

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in
United States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.).


BERNARD MADOFF: Relatives Agree to Asset Freeze
-----------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Juliet Chung and Amir Efrati report that
Bernard Madoff's relatives have agreed to freeze their assets
pending the outcome of a $200 million lawsuit filed by Irving
Picard, the court-appointed liquidator for the Madoff estate.

The Journal, citing "consent orders" filed in federal bankruptcy
court in Manhattan and signed by the family members, relates that
in agreeing to the asset freezes, the family members denied any
"liability or culpability."  According to the Journal, pursuant to
the orders, the family members:

     -- agreed not to transfer or sell property or assets valued
        at more than $1,000 or incur debts and obligations greater
        than $1,000 without approval of the trustee;

     -- are allowed to use credit cards for necessary living
        expenses; and

     -- will provide the trustee with an accounting of their
        expenditures.

The Journal relates that, according to a person familiar with the
matter, the Madoff family members' court agreements with the
trustee are similar to agreements they made with federal
prosecutors in Manhattan shortly after Mr. Madoff's arrest.

The Journal recalls Mr. Picard last fall sued Madoff family
members, who worked with Mr. Madoff at his investment firm, saying
they should give back ill-gotten gains they used to fund personal
business ventures and purchase homes, boats and cars.  Mr. Picard
said the family received about $141 million in the six months
leading up to Mr. Madoff's December 2008 arrest.

The Journal also relates Mr. Madoff's Manhattan penthouse has gone
into contract for an undisclosed price.  According to the Journal,
the property -- , a 4,000-square-foot duplex cooperative apartment
on the 11th and 12th floors of 133 E. 64th St. -- was originally
listed for $9.9 million in September and later was cut to
$8.9 million.  The apartment is one of three Madoff properties the
government seized and is selling to help reimburse victims of his
fraud.

The Journal says the identity of the buyer of the home couldn't be
learned.

The Journal also relates the Madoff beach home in Montauk, N.Y.,
sold in the fall for $9.41 million, nearly 6% above its asking
price, to Steven Roth of Vornado Realty Trust. A nearly 8,800-
square-foot Palm Beach, Fla., home remains on the market with an
asking price of $7.25 million, down from $8.5 million in
September.

BOOT TOWN: Court Approves Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Liquidation Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
US Federal Bankruptcy Chief Judge Barbara J. Houser, approved the
proposed Chapter 11 liquidation plan for Boot Town Western
Wearhouse (BTWW Retail LP) yesterday at a court hearing in Dallas.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
November 3, 2008 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas.  The approval of the liquidation plan
was the culmination of efforts to sell assets, wind down
operations and negotiate claims that will result in a distribution
to general unsecured creditors of approximately 5%.  The plan
received overwhelming support from creditors with well over 90%
voting in favor of the plan.

Alan Minker, Chief Restructuring Officer & Managing Director of
Clear Thinking Group LLC, stated, "Considering the severe
financial condition of the debtor when this case begin back in
late 2008, and the fact that very few thought there would be any
recovery available for the unsecured creditors in this case, this
is a great result for the creditors.  This case is an example of
how the legal and business professionals in the case worked well
together to secure the best results possible for all of the case
constituents."

BTWW Retail, LP was one of the nation's leading retailers for
Western lifestyle and work-related apparel and accessories.  The
Company operated under five leading brand names: Corral West
Ranchwear, Cooper's Western Warehouse, Boot Town, Western
Warehouse, and Job Site.  Also under BTWW's umbrella were three
Sergeant's Western World stores in Texas and two Workwear Depot
stores in Milwaukee, WI and Austintown, OH.  The Company ran into
financial difficulties due to over expansion, significant debt,
reduced consumer spending, and the economic downturn, which
ultimately led to the Company filing for bankruptcy protection in
2008. During the Chapter 11 process, the Debtor sold a significant
number of retail stores to other retailers and liquidated the
remaining assets.

The Debtor will now finalize the review of all filed bankruptcy
claims and will develop a time table for distribution of the
Debtor's remaining assets.  Mr. Minker commented, "We hope to have
the claims process wrapped up in the next 30-60 days and begin
distribution of funds to the creditors."

The Unsecured Creditors in the case were represented by Jay Indyke
and Eric Haber of Cooley Godward Kronish LLP; and Ken Simon of
Loughlin Meghji + Company.  The Debtors were advised by Mike
Warner, David Cohen, and Alexandra Olenczuk of Warner Stevens LLP;
and Lee Diercks and Alan Minker of Clear Thinking Group LLC.

                          About Boot Town

Headquartered in Farmers Branch, Texas, Boot Town, Inc., is a
retailer of brand name boots and western wear: hats, belts,
buckles, and jeans.  The Company filed for chapter 11 protection
on November 17, 2003 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.: 03-81845).
Cynthia Cole, Esq., Esq. Neligan Tarpley Andrews & Foley, L.L.P.
represent the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.  When the
Company filed for protection from its creditors, it listed more
than $10 million in both estimated assets and debts.

BENDIX COMMERCIAL: PBGC Seeks Payment of $16.9-Mil. Pension Debt
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has notified Bendix
Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC of its responsibility to pay
$16.9 million in pension liability.  The obligation arises from
the shutdown of Bendix's Frankfort, Ky., plant and the resulting
job loss of some 60 workers who were participants in the
underfunded Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC Pension Plan for
Hourly Employees.

Bendix, which supplies brakes and vehicle control systems for
trucks and commercial vehicles, closed the Frankfort plant on
Dec. 31, 2007.  The company's employees became jobless when Bendix
moved its braking system compressor operation to Acuna, Mexico.
Bendix notified the agency about the plant closure on Jan. 30,
2008.

Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, an
employer is required to provide protection for an underfunded
pension plan when more than 20 percent of its employees covered by
the plan lose their jobs due to a cessation of operations at a
facility.  Bendix's shutdown of its Frankfort plant led to PBGC's
assessment of $16.9 million in liability.

For more than two years, the PBGC has made numerous efforts to
engage Bendix on the matter.  To date, the company has made no
serious attempt to work with the PBGC, and therefore the agency
must take the step of officially informing Bendix of its pension
liability.

Typically, companies engage the PBGC in negotiations to resolve
the liability after notifying the agency of a cessation of
operations.  Recent agreements with pension plan sponsors have
resulted in protections for underfunded pension plans that include
bonds, letters of credit, and cash contributions that improve
participants' retirement security. Since 2007, the agency has
negotiated more than $400 million in additional protection for
defined benefit plans covering over 50,000 workers and retirees.

To satisfy its pension obligation in connection with the facility
closing, Bendix will need to provide financial assurance to the
agency that the full $16.9 million liability will be contributed
to the affected plan if it ends by Dec. 31, 2012 -- five years
after the plant shutdown.

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

Bendix is headquartered in Elyria, Ohio, and is owned by Knorr-
Bremse AG of Munich, Germany.


BERNARD MADOFF: Sons Agree to Personal Asset Freeze
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Irving H. Picard, the
trustee for the liquidation of the estate of Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC, has reached a settlement under which
Andrew and Mark Madoff, sons of Bernard Madoff, agreed to restrict
movement of their own personal assets, not incur debt beyond
$1,000 and give a monthly accounting of their expenses.

According to the report, Peter and Shana Madoff Swanson, Bernard's
brother and niece, signed similar agreements with Mr. Picard.

Mr. Picard, who is unwinding Madoff's defunct investment firm and
gathering assets to help pay customers, sued the four Madoff
family members in October, claiming they spent almost $199 million
of victims' money and treated the investment firm as their
personal bank.  The Madoffs said in court papers that they deny
Picard's allegations and dispute his right to restrict their
assets.

                   About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L.
Madoff orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with
losses topping US$50 billion.

On December 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A. Stanton of the

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.

petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

CANADIAN TRUST: Canaccord Nets $4.2MM from Sale of ABCP Investment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Canaccord Financial Inc. said that during the quarter ended
December 31, 2009, it disposed of its investment in ABCP with a
carrying value of C$14.3 million for proceeds of $18.5 million
resulting in a gain of C$4.2 million included in principal trading
revenue.

According to Canaccord, as a result of liquidity issues in the
ABCP market, there has been very limited trading of the ABCP since
mid-August 2007.

The Plan of Arrangement of ABCP as amended provided for a
declaratory release that was effective on implementation of the
Plan and that, with the closing of the Canaccord Relief Program,
resulted in the release of all existing and future ABCP-related
claims against the Company. This release has been given effect in
the United States under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code as
announced in January 2010.

The first two installments of interest (to August 31, 2008) were
made during the year ended March 31, 2009 and one further and
final payment was received during the third quarter of fiscal
2010. Reimbursement of restructuring costs under the Canaccord
Relief Program has been received.

On December 21, 2009, a Hearing Panel of the Investment Industry
Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) accepted a settlement
agreement between the IIROC Staff and Canaccord Financial Ltd.
regarding matters surrounding ABCP, which resulted in a settlement
of $3.1 million.  This amount was substantially accrued at
September 30, 2009 and therefore, there was no significant impact
on net income in the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  This amount
was paid subsequent to December 31, 2009.

There has been very limited trading of the restructured ABCP notes
since January 21, 2009 and, as such, no meaningful market quote is
available.  Canaccord says there is a significant amount of
uncertainty in estimating the amount and timing of cash flows
associated with the ABCP.  The Company estimated the fair value of
its ABCP by discounting expected future cash flows on a
probability weighted basis considering the best available data at
December 31, 2009.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 18, 2008,
Justice Colin Campbell of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
granted an application filed on March 17 by The Pan-Canadian
Investors Committee for Third-Party Structured ABCP under the
provisions of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act. The
Committee asked the Court to call a meeting of ABCP noteholders to
vote on a plan to restructure 20 trusts affecting C$32 billion of
notes.  The trusts were covered by the Montreal Accord, an
agreement entered by international banks and institutional
investors on Aug. 16, 2007 to work out a solution for the ABCP
crisis in Canada.  Justice Campbell appointed Ernst & Young, Inc.,
as the Applicants' monitor, on March 17, 2008.

On March 17, 2008 the Pan-Canadian Investors Committee for ABCP
filed proceedings for a plan of compromise and arrangement under
the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) with the Ontario
Superior Court.  The Court issued the final implementation order
in the ABCP restructuring process on January 12, 2009 and the
restructuring closed on January 21, 2009.

CARMIKE CINEMAS: Debt Trades at 0.27% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Carmike Cinemas,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 99.73 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.23
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 250 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The debt matures on May 19, 2012, and is not rated by
Moody's and Standard & Poor's.  The syndicated loan is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 180 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for the week
ended Friday.

As stated by the Troubled Company Reporter, on Jan. 14, 2010,
Standard & Poor's assigned Carmike Cinemas, Inc.'s proposed senior
secured credit facilities of up to $305 million its issue-level
rating of "B-" (at the same level as the "B-" corporate credit
rating on the company).  S&P also assigned the facilities a
recovery rating of "4", indicating S&P's expectation of average
(30%-50%) recovery for lenders in the event of payment default.
The credit facilities consist of a term loan up to $275 million
due 2016 and a $30 million revolving credit facility due 2013.  In
addition, S&P affirmed its outstanding ratings on the company,
including the "B-" corporate credit rating.  The outlook on the
rating is stable.

Moody's rated Carmike Cinemas, Inc.'s proposed new credit
facilities B1, one notch above the company's B2 corporate family
rating, which remains unchanged.  While Carmike's B3 probability
of default rating remains unchanged, the company's ratings outlook
was prospectively changed to stable from negative reflecting the
improved maturity, profile, pro forma for the closing of the
facilities as proposed.

Headquartered in Columbus, Georgia, and operating 246 cinema
theatres with 2,282 screens located in 35 states, Carmike is the
fourth largest motion picture exhibitor in the United States.

CCS MEDICAL: Has Equivalent of Second-Lien Committee
----------------------------------------------------
Steven Church at Bloomberg News reported last week that U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi revoked an order that would
have required an official committee for second-lien lenders owed a
total of at least $110 million by CCS Medical Inc.  Judge Sontchi
took the action Feb. 2, after the U.S. Trustee said not enough
eligible creditors were willing to sit on a committee.  Three
members were needed to form a committee.

According to Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News, while CCS Medical
Inc. won't have an official committee to represent second-lien
creditors, it will have the functional equivalent.  Judge Sontchi
decreed on Feb. 2 that the legal expenses of the second-lien
creditors from Nov. 23 forward will be paid by CCS. He also said
that the second-lien creditors' lawyers can be paid currently just
like counsel for CCS and the official creditors' committee.

CCS Medical has sent its proposed Chapter 11 plan to creditors for
voting.  The Plan swaps the Debtors' first lien lender debt for
$200 million in new notes and 100% of the new equity.

Second lien lenders had requested another appraisal on the
Company's value.  Goldman Sachs & Co. has valued the Company at
$230 million to $286 million, giving less than 100 cents on the
dollar available to repay first lien lenders of their $350 million
in claims.

The Plan, however, provides for potential recovery to unsecured
creditors in the form of cash or warrant, based on a "gift"
provided by first lien lenders, who will recover 66% and 82% of
their claims.  The first lien lenders have agreed to provide a
portion of their recovery on account of the first lien lender
claims in the form of warrants and cash as a "gift" to certain
holders of allowed second lien lender claims, allowed trade claims
and allowed general unsecured claims.

CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY: S&P Downgrades Long-TERM Rating to "BB+"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its long-
term rating to "BB+" from "A+" and withdrew its short-term rating
of "A-1+" on Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency,
N.Y.'s $58.5 million exempt facility revenue bonds (NRG Dunkirk
Power Project) series 2009 issued on behalf of NRG Dunkirk Power,
following the remarketing of the debt.  S&P also assigned its "1"
recovery rating to the bonds, indicating its expectation of very
high (90%-100%) recovery of principal in the event of a payment
default.  The bonds were originally issued on April 14, 2009, as a
structured letter-of-credit-backed variable-interest-rate
obligation, the rating on which was linked to that on the LOC
provider, Bank of America.  Following the bonds' Feb. 1, 2010,
conversion, they bear a fixed interest rate through the April 2042
maturity and are secured by substantially all assets of NRG Energy
Inc. and its subsidiaries.  As a result, the bonds are rated pari
passu with NRG's secured debt obligations, which are currently
rated "BB+".

CHEMTURA CORP: Obtains $450-Mil. Replacement DIP Financing
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that Chemtura Corp. landed
$450 million in new financing to replace the $400 million facility
dating from the height of the financial crisis.  Chemtura says
"significantly" lower rates on the new loan will save it $9.3
million.  The existing loan, to expire on March 22, would require
a $4 million fee for an extension.  The new loan will be good for
one year.  Providers of the new loan include Citibank NA, Bank of
America NA, Barclays Bank Plc, and Wells Fargo Foothill LLC.

According to the report, the Company is also seeking an extension
until June 11 of the exclusive right to propose a Chapter 11 plan.
Chemtura said that unresolved contingent and unliquidated claims
are preventing the confirmation of a reorganization plan.  The
motion pointed to $2 billion in governmental environmental
claims and 375 personal injury claims resulting from the
distribution of diacetyl.  Otherwise, Chemtura is "optimistic"
about emerging from reorganization in the "near term."

CHEMTURA CORP: Seeks Nod for New $450-Mil. DIP Facility
-------------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corporation, debtor-in-possession filed a motion with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Court") seeking approval of an Amended and Restated Debtor-in-
Possession ("DIP") Credit Agreement.  Citibank, N.A. together with
Bank of America N.A., Barclays Bank PLC and Wells Fargo Foothill
LLC and other lenders are parties to the new DIP facility.  The
new $450 million DIP facility, which refinances Chemtura's
existing $400 million DIP facility, provides Chemtura with
improved financing and credit terms and additional financial
flexibility, and it permits capital expenditures necessary to
execute its business plan.

"The lenders have shown confidence in the company's strong
performance and management by increasing the DIP facility by
$50 million and at the same time by significantly lowering the
financing costs," said Craig A. Rogerson, Chemtura's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.  "The improved terms of the
new DIP facility are a reflection of the improving credit markets
as well as a testament to the outstanding progress we are making
in our restructuring efforts."

Chemtura is working diligently with its constituencies to develop
a consensual Plan of Reorganization.

"We are confident that filing a plan with the support of our
creditors is the quickest path to emerge from Chapter 11 a
stronger and more nimble global enterprise, best equipped to grow
and meet the needs of our customers," Rogerson said.  "We are
grateful to have received significant support and encouragement
from all of our stakeholder groups, including our creditors,
lenders, customers, suppliers and others.  Most importantly, we
very much appreciate the unrelenting efforts of Chemtura's
talented employees."

CHEMTURA CORP: Fee Applications of 20 Firms Approved
----------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber granted on January 28, 2010, the
second interim fee applications of more than 20 bankruptcy
professionals in the Chapter 11 cases of Chemtura Corporation and
its debtor affiliates for services rendered for the fee period

CHEMTURA CORP: Malone, et al., Want to Conduct Rule 2004 Exam
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Jo Malone and 58 plaintiffs in state court actions pending
in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in addition to six plaintiffs
whose claims have not been asserted in the State Court Actions
before the automatic stay became effective in the Debtors'
Chapter 11 cases, ask the Court to direct the Debtors to produce
certain documents pursuant to Rules 2004 and 9016 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

The Plaintiffs reside in Texas, North Carolina, Indiana,
Tennessee, Washington, New York, and Maryland.  Ms. Malone and
the 58 Initial Plaintiffs each filed their State Court Actions in
the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,
seeking judgment against several defendants, including Debtor
Chemtura Corporation as successor to Witco Chemical Corporation,
for damages caused by the Defendants' alleged negligence, strict
liability, and intentional misconduct in manufacturing,
marketing, distributing, and selling coal tar pitch to which the
Plaintiffs were exposed during their employment at various
aluminum smelters owned and operated by Alcoa for the period from
1946 through 2000.  The New Plaintiffs suffered similar injuries
during their employment at aluminum smelters owned and operated
by Alcoa, Inc., but have not yet filed their claims as of the
Petition Date when the automatic stay became effective with
respect to the Debtors.

The Pennsylvania State Court has designated the State Court
Actions as complex litigation and consolidated them for discovery
purposes only.

During the course of discovery in the State Court Action and
prior to the Petition Date, Chemtura, as Witco's successor,
produced declaration pages on Witco's Comprehensive Liability
Policies for the years 1962 to 1986, which provided liability
insurance for bodily injury.

Alan D. Halperin, Esq., at Halperin Battaglia Raicht LLP, in New
York, says that each of the Declarations appear to indicate that
the Policies provide annual limits ranging from $750,000 to
$1,000,000 for bodily injury per occurrence, similar to most
other general liability policies.  He also notes that Chemtura
Corp. is not listed as a beneficiary of the proceeds of the
Policies.

Discovery in the State Court Actions is ongoing and no trial date
has been set, according to Mr. Halperin.  He notes that on or
about the Petition Date, Chemtura filed a "Suggestion of
Bankruptcy" in the State Court Actions, which were then
automatically stayed with respect to Chemtura.

The basis of the State Court Actions is personal injury in the
nature of cancer to various organs of the body caused from
exposure to the carcinogenic substance coal tar pitch during the
Plaintiffs' employment, Mr. Halperin relates.  As a result of
exposure to the defendants' products, he notes that certain of
the Plaintiffs or their decedents have died and many other
Plaintiffs have advanced stages of cancer and will likely die in
the relatively near future.  "Consequently, time is of the
essence in the prosecution of their claims," Mr. Halperin
asserts.

Accordingly, in order to avoid substantial delays and hardship on
the Plaintiffs in the prosecution of their claims in the State
Court Actions and avoid multiplicity of lawsuits, the Plaintiffs
may seek relief from the automatic stay to allow the State Court
Actions to proceed against Chemtura with respect to coverage
under the Policies in addition to the non-debtor defendants.

However, because only the Declarations were produced during
discovery in the State Court Actions prior to the Petition Date
and not full copies of the Policies, the Plaintiffs have not been
able to confirm the nature and extent of Chemtura's interest, if
any, in the Policies, including the nature and extent of any
deductable or self insured portion under the Policies.  In this
light, the Plaintiffs seek the production of, among others, full
copies of the Policies.

CHEMTURA CORP: Objects to $2.1 Billion in EPA Claims
----------------------------------------------------
Chemtura Corp. and its units ask the Court to disallow Claim Nos.
11672, 11767, 11797, 11584, and 11993 filed by the United States
of America on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency.

The EPA Claims, filed pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 with respect to
21 different site locations, assert past and future estimated
response costs and penalties, totaling approximately $2.1 billion
plus additional unliquidated amounts.

The U.S. Government also seeks "natural resource damages" for
damages at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in an amount
estimated at approximately $1.2 million.

The Government further alleges under the Claims that the Debtors
have or may in the future have environmental liabilities for
unnamed properties that are part of their Chapter 11 estates or
for the migration of hazardous substances from current property
of their estates.

Richard M. Cieri, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York,
contends that as a whole, the EPA Claims contain insufficient
allegations, have no documentation, and fail to disclose all of
the assumptions behind the Government's calculations used in the
Claims.  With regard to past remediation costs, Mr. Cieri asserts
that the Claims are based on actions which were arbitrary and
capricious and do not comport with the National Contingency Plan
or other applicable guidance.

Furthermore, as to anticipated costs, Mr. Cieri disputes that the
Claims are based on highly speculative and unsupported response
cost projections.  He says that compounding the inherent
unfairness of the asserted Claims, the Government has
systematically ignored the issue of fair allocation, seeking
instead to hold the respective Debtors jointly and severally
liability on account of the Claims, despite recognizing the
substantial role of other potentially responsible parties in
contributing to the alleged contamination.

"In this regard, the Government's Claims fail to recognize that,
even if the Debtors did contribute to the contamination of
certain of the subject sites, the Debtors would bear, at most,
only limited responsibility," Mr. Cieri argues.  "Any other
result would be highly inequitable, harmful to creditors of the
Debtors' estates and contrary to applicable law and practice."

CIRCUIT CITY: InterTAN Stay Period Extended to April 30
-------------------------------------------------------
At the request of InterTAN Canada Ltd. and Tourmalet Corporation,
Honorable Justice Geoffrey B. Morawetz of the Superior Court of
Justice (Commercial List) for the Province of Ontario extended
the Applicant's stay period to April 30, 2010.  The stay was
previously extended until January 31, 2010.

Alvarez & Marsal Canada ULC, the appointed monitor, has made
substantial progress in reviewing, reconciling and administering
the proofs of claim in the Claims Processes.  However, a number
of disputed claims still remain to be determined.  The Monitor is
assisting the Applicants and the Purchaser in attempting to
resolve their differences concerning the Closing Date Financial
Statement.

The extension sought is necessary in order to complete the final
stages of the Claims Processes and to allow for the expeditious
distribution of the Sale Proceeds to the creditors and
shareholders of the Applicants, according to the Applicants'
counsel, Goodmans LLP, in Toronto, Canada.

Pursuant to the First Distribution Order, the Monitor made
distributions, from the proceeds of the Sale Transaction and
other amounts received by or owing to InterTAN that were in the
Monitor's possession, aggregating C$11,672,749, to those
creditors set forth in the First Distribution Order.  The amounts
included interest on claims calculated at a rate of 5% per annum.

These distributions, together with revisions and disallowances
issued by the Monitor in the Claims Process, resolved 527 of the
total 598 Pre-Filing and Post-Filing Claims filed with the
Monitor.

As of January 21, 2010, the Monitor was holding, in trust, an
aggregate of C$90,434,192.

After revisions and disallowances described in the Eleventh
Report, and taking into account "additional pre-filing" and
"restructuring" claims filed after November 30, 2009, there
remained to be administered (i) 61 Pre-Filing proofs of claim,
(ii) three additional pre-filing claims, and (iii) seven
restructuring claims.

The Court also ordered that the Monitor distribute from the
balance of the Sale Proceeds and other amounts received by or
owing to InterTAN that are in the Monitor's possession, amounting
to C$5,784,906, to be distributed to those creditors, inclusive
of interest calculated at a rate of 5% per annum, by today,
February 3, 2010.

The Court also authorized and directed the Monitor to distribute,
in amounts consistent with the Monitor's recommendation in its
Twelfth Report, to the claimants on account of a settlement or
resolution of their claims, as may be agreed to in writing
between the applicable claimant, the Monitor, InterTAN, and the
Purchaser.

The lists of claimants are available at no charge at:

The distributions made will be in full and final satisfaction of
the claims of the recipients against the Applicants.

CIRCUIT CITY: Proposes Liquidation Retention Plan
-------------------------------------------------
Circuit City Stores Inc. and its units ask the Court (i) to
approve a liquidation retention plan, (ii) for authority to
implement the Liquidation Retention Plan, and (iii) to pay certain
wind down retention pay to 20 plan participants.

To recall, on March 25, 2009, the Court approved a wind down
incentive and retention plan, as modified by agreement with the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and authorized payment
of wind down incentive pay to participants in that plan.

Under the Wind Down Incentive Plan and Retention Plan,
participants were divided into two categories.  Tier I
Participants consisted of management level employees that may be
considered "insiders," as the term is defined in Section 101(31)
of the Bankruptcy Code.  Tier II Participants consisted of non-
insider key employees.

With respect to Tier I Plan Participants, payments have been or
will be made in accordance with the Wind Down Incentive and
Retention Plan upon completion of tasks associated with each
payment.  With respect to Tier II Plan Participants, however, the
Wind Down Incentive and Retention Plan expired on January 15,
2010, Douglas M. Foley, Esq., at McGuireWoods LLP, in Richmond,
Virginia, relates.

The Debtors and the Creditors Committee have proposed and
solicited votes on their First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation,
which contemplates the continued liquidation of the Debtors'
assets, reconciliation of liabilities, and the distributions
according to the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors have continued to work towards an orderly and
efficient liquidation process.  To assist them with that process,
the Debtors currently have 23 full-time employees.  At this time,
the Debtors believe that the continued employment of their
remaining employees is in the best interests of their creditors
and estates.

According to Mr. Foley, the Debtors' ability to keep their
remaining employees is threatened by three primary factors:

  (1) The employees recognize that, due to the liquidation,
      long-term employment with the Debtors is not an option.

  (2) The employment market in Richmond has improved
      considerably over the last several months.  Indeed, the
      Debtors have had certain unexpected resignations by
      certain key employees.

  (3) The Wind Down Incentive and Retention Plan expired.  As a
      result, the Debtors have no ability to "incentivize" their
      employees to remain until their services are no longer
      needed.

Moreover, additional unexpected employment losses threaten the
Debtors' ability to achieve an orderly and efficient liquidation.
To successfully continue and complete the liquidation process,
the Debtors developed, along with their restructuring
professionals, an appropriate but limited liquidation retention
plan for 20 employees.

None of the Plan Participants are members of the Debtors'
management or "insiders," and are not persons in control of the
Debtors, Mr. Foley explains.

                   Liquidation Retention Plan

Because the Wind Down Incentive and Retention Plan has expired,
it is imperative that the Plan Participants continue to be
motivated to provide their substantial contributions to the
liquidation of the Debtors.  The Liquidation Retention Plan would
help ensure that Plan Participants, each of whom is essential to
the liquidation process and critical to managing the effective
and timely liquidation of the Debtors' estates, are retained in
order to maximize value for the Debtors' creditors, Mr. Foley
says.

The Liquidation Retention Plan consists of retention bonus
payments to the Plan Participants based on their continued
service to the Debtors through the earlier of (i) the date the
Debtors sever the Plan Participant and (ii) the effective date of
a plan of liquidation.  All payments to a particular Plan
Participant under the Liquidation Retention Plan will be made on
each participant's applicable End Date.

Although the total payments under the Liquidation Retention Plan
will vary, the Debtors estimate that they will accrue $9,400.

If a Plan Participant voluntarily terminates his employment or is
terminated for cause before the End Date, the Plan Participant
will not receive any portion of any payment that he would have
received had he continued to be employed by the Debtors on the
End Date.

The Liquidation Retention Plan treats each Plan Participant
differently, and payments to a particular Plan Participant depend
on three factors: (i) weekly salary, (ii) the percentage of the
weekly salary designated under the Liquidation Retention Plan,
and (iii) the number of weeks actually worked beginning with
the first week after the Debtors' Wind Down Incentive and
Retention Plan ended for the particular Plan Participant
and ending on that Plan Participant's applicable End Date.

Notably, the Plan Participants are not required to accomplish
specific performance metrics to be eligible for payment.

The Creditors' Committee has advised the Debtors that it supports
the approval of the Liquidation Retention Plan.

The Debtors also seek, pursuant to Section 107(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code and Rule 9018 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure, to file the list of the Plan Participants and the
terms of their retention bonus payments under seal to protect the
employees from potential harm caused by the disclosure of
confidential information.

In separate filings, the Debtors seek to shorten the notice
period and to expedite hearing on the motion to be heard on
February 11, 2010.

Mr. Foley explains that the delay in filing the motion until this
point was to provide the Creditors' Committee with an opportunity
to review and provide comments on the motion.  The Creditors'
Committee also consents to having the motion heard on an
expedited basis and shortened notice.

CIRCUIT CITY: Proposes March 31 as 2nd Admin. Claims Bar Date
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Sections 105 and 503 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules
2002 and 9007 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the
Circuit City Stores Inc. and its units ask the Court to set
March 31, 2010, at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, as the second
administrative bar date within which certain administrative
expense requests must be filed.

The Debtors seek to establish the Second Administrative Bar Date
to determine what, if any, Administrative Expenses are, or
remain, asserted against them.

On May 15, 2009, the Court set June 30, 2009, as the bar date for
filing claims for administrative expenses that arose from the
Petition Date through and including April 30, 2009.

At this stage of the Debtors' cases, they believe that
establishing a Second Administrative Bar Date is appropriate and
will help facilitate an orderly liquidation of their estates,
Douglas M. Foley, Esq., at McGuireWoods LLP, in Richmond,
Virginia, says.

For purposes of the Second Administrative Bar Date, the
Debtors propose that the term "Administrative Expense" mean, as
to or against any of the Debtors (i) any right to payment,
whether or not that right is reduced to judgment, liquidated,
unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed,
undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, or (ii) any
right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if that
breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not that
right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed,
contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or
unsecured, that (1) satisfies Sections 365(d)(3), 365(d)(5), or
503(b), including 503(b)(1) through (b)(8) of the Bankruptcy
Code, but excluding Section 503(b)(9); and (2) first arose -- or,
only in the case of unexpired leases of real and personal
property, accrued -- from and after May 1, 2009, through and
including December 31, 2009.

The Debtors propose that a request for payment of an
Administrative Expense be filed by March 31, 2010, by all
holders, including persons, entities, individuals, partnerships,
corporations, estates, trusts, indenture trustees, unions and
governmental units of an Administrative Expense.

According to Mr. Foley, these holders need not file an
Administrative Expense Request:

  (a) Parties that have already properly filed an Administrative
      Expense Request with the Court or Kurtzman Carson
      Consultants LLC, the Claims Agent, that clearly sets forth
      that the party is asserting an Administrative Expense;

  (b) Parties whose Administrative Expense has been previously
      allowed by order of the Court;

  (c) A Debtor or Debtors holding an Administrative Expense
      against one or more other Debtors; and

  (d) Professional advisors, including attorneys, financial
      advisors, accountants, claims agents, or other
      professionals, retained by the Debtors or the Official
      Committee of Unsecured Creditors under Bankruptcy Code
      Sections 327, 328 or 1103 and whose Administrative
      Expense is for services rendered and reimbursement of
      expenses in the Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors also ask that any holder of a 503(b)(9)
administrative claim, which claim or expense was required to be
filed by December 19, 2008 -- the 503(b)(9) Bar Date -- pursuant
to order of the Court -- the 503(b)(9) Bar Date Order -- and any
holder whose claim/expense was required to be filed by June 30,
2009, pursuant to the First Administrative Bar Date Order, not
now be permitted to file an Administrative Expense Request.

As set forth in the 503(b)(9) Bar Date Order, any person or
entity holding a claim/expense pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
Section 503(b)(9) that failed to file a claim/expense request on
or before December 19, 2008, is forever barred and estopped from
asserting a claim/expense pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section
503(b)(9) against the Debtors, their estates, or the property of
any of them, absent further Court order.

Similarly, as set forth in the First Administrative Bar Date
Order, any person or entity holding a claim/expense that first
arose -- or, only in the case of unexpired leases of real and
personal property, accrued -- in the First Administrative Period,
that failed to file a claim/expense on or before June 30, 2009,
is forever barred and estopped from asserting a claim/expense
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 365(d)(3), 365(d)(5), or
503(b), first arising -- or, only in the case of unexpired leases
of real and personal property, accruing -- during the First
Administrative Period, against the Debtors, their estates, or the
property of any of them, absent further order of the Court.

Mr. Foley clarifies that this motion is not a request for an
extension of either deadline.

     Form and Procedure for Administrative Expense Requests

The Debtors ask the Court to establish Second Administrative Bar
Date procedures.

For an Administrative Expense Request to be considered, it must
(i) be in writing, (ii) be denominated in lawful United States
currency, (iii) specify the Debtor against which the claimant
asserts an Administrative Expense, (iv) set forth with
specificity the legal and factual basis for the Administrative
Expense, and (v) have attached to it supporting documentation.

Holders will not be permitted to aggregate Administrative
Expenses against multiple Debtors in a single Request.

For any Administrative Expense Request to be validly and properly
filed, a signed original of the completed Request together with
accompanying documentation must be delivered to the Claims Agent
by the Second Administrative Expense Bar Date, in person, by
courier, hand delivery or by mail, but not by facsimile or other
electronic means.

Administrative Expense Requests will be deemed filed when
actually received by the Claims Agent.  Filing the Requests with
the Claims Agent rather than with the Court will enable the
Debtors to orderly review and reconcile any filed Administrative
Expense Requests.

Following the Second Administrative Expense Bar Date, the Debtors
will begin the process of reconciling Requests.  To the extent
any improper Administrative Expense Requests are filed, the
Debtors will object to the Requests at least 30 days before a
scheduled hearing, unless the period is shortened by Court order,
to which the holder will have an opportunity to respond.

The Debtors also submit that the Omnibus Objection Procedures
approved by the Court apply to Administrative Expense Requests,
and should apply to objections to the Requests only to the extent
that the Omnibus Objection Procedures are not inconsistent with
the present motion, the order, or the Second Administrative Bar
Date notice.

Through the Second Administrative Bar Date Notice, the Debtors
will advise holders of potential Administrative Expenses that if
they fail to file a request for payment of their Administrative
Expense by the Second Administrative Bar Date, they (a) will be
forever barred and estopped from asserting their Administrative
Expense against the Debtors or their estates and (b) will not be
permitted to receive payment from the Debtors' estates or
participate in any distribution under any plan or plans of
liquidation in the Chapter 11 cases on account of the
Administrative Expenses.

is a substantial part of it.  "And you will see us expanding
across Asia-Pacific this year," Mr. Pandit told FT, according to
eFinancialCareers.

According to eFinancialCareers, Mr. Pandit's remarks to the FT
refute speculation the firm would sell off some Asian assets as
part of an ongoing plan to shrink its balance sheet and pay down
debt.  eFinancialCareers said Mr. Pandit related that expansion
plans this year include Japan, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia
and Hong Kong.  eFinancialCareers said Mr. Pandit was touring
major Asian cities last week.

COMMISSARY OPS: Claim Priority Doesn't Nix New Value Defense
------------------------------------------------------------
Addressing a question of apparent first impression, WestLaw
reports, a Tennessee bankruptcy court has held that deliveries to
a debtor that are entitled to administrative expense status under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 503(b)(9), the section of the Bankruptcy Code
providing that an allowed administrative expense includes the
value of goods received by debtor in the ordinary course of
business within 20 days before the petition date, are not
disqualified from constituting "new value" for purposes of a
creditor's 'subsequent new value" defense under Sec. 547(c)(4).
The court distinguished In re Phoenix Restaurant Group, Inc., 373
B.R. 541 (M.D. Tenn. 2007), which involved a preference
defendant's reclamation claim.  Unlike goods subject to
reclamation claims, a debtor can freely use goods subject to a
Sec. 503(b)(9) claim, and such goods satisfy the "money or money's
worth" definition of "new value" in Sec. 547(a)(2).  Moreover, the
possibility that a Sec. 503(b)(9) claimant might receive payment
for the deliveries it made to the debtor within 20 days prior to
the petition date does not negate the value represented by the
claim that the creditor provided to the debtor. The policy of
encouraging creditors to do business with debtors also supported
the court's holding.  In re Commissary Operations, Inc., --- B.R.
----, 2010 WL 99036 (Bankr. M.D. Tenn.).

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Commissary Operations Inc.
dba COI Foodservice Distribution and Manufacturing --
http://www.coifoodservice.com/-- is a multi-facility food service
distribution operation and supplier which delivers to more than
1,200 restaurants in 29 U.S. states.  For more than 40 years, the

known national restaurant chains such as Shoney's, Ryan's and
Applebee's.  The company has centers located in West Virginia

CONSECO INC: Repurchases $64 Million of Old Debentures
------------------------------------------------------
Conseco, Inc., announced Thursday that it has repurchased
$64 million of its 3.50% Convertible Debentures due September 30,
2035 (the "Old Debentures") in a privately negotiated transaction.
In connection with the repurchase, the Company completed a second
closing of $64 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.0%
Convertible Senior Debentures due 2016 (the "New Debentures") as
part of its previously announced private offering of New
Debentures.  The first closing of $176.5 million of the New
Debentures was completed on November 13, 2009, upon settlement of
a tender offer for Old Debentures.

The purchase price for the $64 million of Old Debentures was equal
to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
As a result of the repurchase, Conseco expects to recognize a loss
on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $2 million,
representing the write-off of unamortized discount and issuance
costs associated with the Old Debentures that were repurchased.

The issuance of the $64 million of New Debentures was made
pursuant to the purchase agreement that Conseco entered into in
October 2009 relating to the private offering of up to
$293 million of the New Debentures.  Conseco received aggregate
net proceeds of approximately $61.4 million in the second closing
of the New Debentures (after taking into account the discounted
offering price less the initial purchaser's discounts and
commissions, but before expenses).  After the repurchase, an
aggregate of $52.5 million of the Old Debentures remain
outstanding.

In connection with the repurchase of the Old Debentures and the
issuance of the New Debentures, the Company entered into a First
Supplemental Indenture, which amended the Indenture for the New
Debentures, and Amendment Number One to the Purchase Agreement for
the New Debentures, in each case to include repurchases of the Old
Debentures as a type of transaction under which the New Debentures
may be issued or sold, as the case may be.

2010, among Conseco, Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., as trustee, is available for free at:

DELTA AIR: JAL Might Stick With American Airlines
-------------------------------------------------
Mariko Sanchanta and Mike Esterl at The Wall Street Journal report
that Japan Airlines Corp. is leaning toward maintaining its
longstanding alliance with AMR Corp.'s American Airlines instead
of teaming up with Delta Air Lines Inc.

The Journal, citing people close to the protracted tug-of-war for
Asia's largest carrier, relates that American's bid to keep JAL
has gained traction recently at least in part because of growing
concerns a JAL-Delta partnership would trigger antitrust concerns
in the U.S.

The Troubled Company Reporter, citing the Wall Street Journal,
said on January 13, 2010, that Japanese government officials were
pushing JAL to choose Delta as its new alliance partner over
American.  People familiar with the matter told the Journal at
that time that JAL received official advice that a tie-up with
Delta would be more advantageous on the grounds that Delta has a
more robust trans-Pacific flight network and a stronger Asian
network than American.

The Journal now relates one person close to the deliberations said
JAL's new chairman, Kazuo Inamori, started from scratch in
deciding whether Asia's biggest carrier by revenue should ally
itself with Fort Worth, Texas-based American or Atlanta-based
Delta in a joint venture on trans-Pacific flights.

Mr. Inamori, who took over as JAL's chairman Feb. 1, has had
conversations with officials in Washington focusing on whether a
Delta-JAL tie-up would receive antitrust immunity, the Journal's
source added.

The Journal relates the Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. of
Japan, the quasi-governmental body that is tasked with
restructuring JAL, is also favoring a broader tie-up with
American.

JAL plans to tell Delta as early as this week that it will
terminate the tie-up negotiation, while together with American the
Japanese airline will apply for anti-trust immunity with the US
Department of Transportation within this month, the AFP reports
citing the Nikkei business daily.

Masaru Onishi, the new president of JAL, said an official decision
on a partner is slated to be made this week or early next week,
the Journal notes.

DOLE FOOD: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to "B1"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's upgraded Dole Food's Corporate Family Rating to B1 from B2
and assigned Ba2 ratings to the company's proposed senior secured
term loan facilities.  The rating outlook is stable.  Moody's also
assigned a new Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2.

Proceeds from the new facilities will be used to repay the exiting
term loans B and C as well as the $70 million balance remaining on
the notes due 2011.

Moody's said the upgrade was prompted by continued improvement in
operating performance and financial metrics, a vastly improved
debt maturity schedule and management's commitment to and
execution of leverage reduction.  In the past months leverage has
been reduced through an initial public offering (in October) that
generated proceeds of approximately $415 million which were used
to repay debt, as well as through asset sales.  In addition,
Dole's ownership structure was simplified as a result of the
internal restructuring transactions that took place concurrently
with the IPO, while the remaining balance on the DHM Holding's
Hotel and Wellness Center debt due March 2010 was extinguished
and/or transferred.  At the same time, cross-default risks with
affiliates were eliminated.  Moody's also noted recent favorable
business developments including several legal victories in DBCP
cases, and an agreement by the EU announced in December, to
gradually reduce tariffs for bananas imported into Europe from
Latin America.  The proposed refinancing will further improve the
debt maturity ladder by eliminating all near-term funding risk and
will reduce annual cash interest by approximately $20 million.

The SGL-2 rating reflects Moody's expectation that the company's
liquidity profile will remain solid.  Dole does not expect
material usage under its $350 million revolving credit in the near
term and following the proposed refinancing, will not face its
next debt maturity until 2013.  Moody's expect the company to
generate sufficient internal cash flow over the next 12 months to
meet all of its basic cash needs, allowing for some seasonal
fluctuation.  The SGL rating reflects that Moody's also expect the
company to have adequate cushion above its new covenant levels, of
generally at least 20%.

Dole's B1 corporate family rating incorporates the company's
earnings and cash flow volatility from its exposure to commodity
markets as well as the impact of such uncontrollable factors as
weather or political regulations on key products.  Nonetheless, it
enjoys a leadership position in its industry segment and has good
geographic diversity.  Credit metrics have strengthened from
improved profit margins and debt reductions from the sale of non-
core assets as well as the recent IPO.  The company's strong
market position and successful adjustment to the EU's banana
regime should allow for further improvement in profitability.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Dole's
operating performance will be sustained at current or stronger

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.

FINLAY ENTERPRISES: GOB Sales Generate $122 Million
---------------------------------------------------
National Jeweler, citing report from the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Finlay Enterprises shows sales added up to
$122.54 million.  Between Nov. 29 and Jan. 2, 2010, Finlay sold
$122 million in merchandise and brought in revenues of $537,000
for repairs during its standalone stores' going-out-of-business
sales.

According to SEC, for the fiscal year 2008 ended Jan. 31, 2009,
sales from Finlay's standalone operations, including Bailey Banks
and Biddle, the brands under the Carlyle and Co. umbrella and
Congress Jewelers, totaled $309.7 million.

Finlay Enterprises, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FNLY) through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Finlay Fine Jewelry Corporation, is a

FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR: Moody's Puts "B2" Rating on Senior Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 rating to Freescale
Semiconductor, Inc.'s proposed senior secured extended term loan
maturing 2016 and $750 million senior secured notes.
Concurrently, Moody's affirmed Freescale's corporate family,
probability of default, long-term debt and speculative grade
liquidity ratings.  These actions follow the company's recently
launched proposed amendment of its credit agreement.  The assigned
ratings are subject to review of final documentation and no
material change in the terms and conditions of the transactions as
advised to Moody's.  The extended term loan and senior secured
notes ratings are also contingent on passage of the amendment.

The proposed amendment is designed to extend the maturity date of
all or a portion of the company's existing $3.4 billion term loan
B as well as give Freescale the ability to issue secured notes.
Proceeds from the secured notes will be used to reduce the term
loans (i.e., 2013 and 2014 maturities plus the new 2016 maturity)
and revolver.  Any reduction in the revolver would constitute a
commitment reduction from lenders.  Any remaining amounts of the
term loan B not extended will mature at the pre-existing maturity
date.  As a result of the two proposed transactions, Moody's
expect the company's annual interest expense to increase slightly.

Freescale's Caa1 CFR continues to be constrained by the company's
substantial leverage and thin interest coverage, as well as
Moody's expectation of very modest free cash flow generation.  The
CFR also reflects a significantly reduced earnings contribution
from the company's cellular segment, offset by modest earnings
from Freescale's recent entr‚e into higher growth sub-segments
within consumer and industrial markets.  Since Freescale is
exposed to the inherently cyclical and volatile semiconductor
industry, Moody's is concerned that Freescale's highly leveraged
capital structure may prove unsustainable if cash flows were to
deteriorate for an extended period.  A pending lawsuit by lenders
related to the company's 2009 debt exchange is an additional
rating constraint since Freescale's potential liability is
unknown.

The rating is supported by Freescale's strong market leadership
positions and rich product portfolio characterized by
technological breadth; its somewhat favorable revenue
diversification across products, geographies and customers; its
refocused R&D program to drive future revenue growth in extended
market segments; and its "asset-light" model that allows it to
reduce expenses and capex in response to weak market conditions.

The rating outlook is stable and reflects Moody's expectation that
after a severe downturn in profits and cash flow caused by the
recession, the company's operating performance will continue to
improve as a result of the recovery in the global demand
environment and Freescale's progress in eliminating $700 million
of annualized costs (full $800 million cost savings expected
during 2010).  The stable outlook incorporates Moody's belief that
semiconductor end market demand will demonstrate growth in 2010
and that Freescale's revenue growth will be in line with its
addressable markets.

Freescale's liquidity is adequate as reflected in its SGL-3
speculative grade liquidity rating.  The liquidity assessment is
principally driven by the company's $1.4 billion of cash balances
given that over the next four quarters, Moody's expect Freescale
to generate modest FCF relative to its large debt load.  Despite
no financial covenants, financial flexibility remains diminished,
in Moody's opinion, since the company has drawn $644 million under
its revolver, which has a committed capacity of $690 million.

These new ratings and assessments were assigned:

* Up to $3.371 Billion Senior Secured Extended Maturity Term Loan
  due 2016 -- B2 (LGD-3, 30%)

* $750 Million Senior Secured Notes -- B2 (LGD-3, 30%)

These ratings were affirmed (Moody's will subsequently revise the
amounts outstanding under the secured revolver and existing term
loans following final disclosure of the amounts retired):

* Corporate Family Rating (New) -- Caa1

* Probability of Default Rating - Caa1

* $690 Million (originally $750 Million) Senior Secured Revolving
  Credit Facility due 2012 - B2 (LGD-3, 30%)

* $3.371 Billion (originally $3.5 Billion) Senior Secured Term
  Loan B Facility due 2013 - B2 (LGD-3, 30%)

* $917 Million Senior Secured Incremental Term Loan due 2014 -- B2
  (LGD-3, 30%)

* $1.382 Billion (originally $2.35 Billion) Senior Unsecured Notes
  due 2014 - Caa2 (LGD-5, 80%)

* $194 Million (originally $500 Million) Senior Unsecured Floating
  Rate Notes due 2014 - Caa2 (LGD-5, 80%)

* $558 Million (originally $1.5 Billion) Senior Unsecured Toggle
  Notes due 2014 - Caa2 (LGD-5, 80%)

* $764 Million (originally $1.6 Billion) Senior Subordinated
  Unsecured Notes due 2016 - Caa3 (LGD-6, 94%)

* Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating - SGL- 3

The last rating action was on December 23, 2009, when Moody's
affirmed Freescale's Caa1 CFR and revised the outlook to stable
from negative.

Headquartered in Austin, TX, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.,
designs and manufactures embedded semiconductors for the
transportation, networking and wireless markets.  The company was
separated from Motorola via IPO in July 2004 and taken private in
a leveraged buyout in December 2006.  Revenues for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2009, were $3.5 billion.


GENERAL GROWTH: Fee Committee Wants Hughes Hubbard as Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
The fee committee appointed in General Growth Properties Inc.'s
cases seeks the Court's permission to retain Hughes Hubbard & Reed
LLP as its counsel, nunc pro tunc to January 22, 2010.

The Fee Committee consists of four members: Dan Pfeffer,
representative of the Official Committee of Equity Security
Holders and Chairperson of the Fee Committee; Gene Davis,
representative of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors;
Elizabeth G. Gasparini, Esq., representative of the
United States Trustee for Region 2; and Ronald Gem, Esq.,
representative of the Debtors.

As the Fee Committee's counsel, Hughes Hubbard will:

   (a) assist the Fee Committee in reviewing the professional
       employed and retained in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases'
       fee applications, drafting reports and appearing at
       hearings on behalf of the Fee Committee;

   (b) assist the Fee Committee with regard to inquiries to and
       from the Retained Professionals; and

   (c) coordinate and attend meetings between the Fee Committee
       and the Retained Professionals.

Richard Stern, Esq., a partner at Hughes Hubbard will lead the
engagement and will be billed $775 per hour.  The Debtors will
also pay Hubbard Hughes according to its professionals' customary
hourly rate with a discounted rate of 10% in effect on the date
services are rendered.  The current customary and discounted
hourly rates are:

                                         Discounted
  Title            Rate per Hour        Rate per Hour
  -----            -------------        -------------
  Partners          $650 to $950         $585 to $855
  Counsel           $625 to $925         $587 to $832
  Associates        $355 to $695         $319 to $625
  Legal Assistants      $230                 $207

The Debtors will also reimburse Hughes Hubbard for expenses
incurred.

Mr. Stern discloses that Hughes Hubbard represents M & T Bank in
connection with the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.  However, Hughes
Hubbard has not provided any service to M & T in connection with
the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases since November 2009, he relates.  He
further says that M & T has consented to Hughes Hubbard's
representation of the Fee Committee and granted Hughes Hubbard a
waiver with respect to that representation.  He further states
that Hughes Hubbard represents Ernst & Young LLP, Deloitte Tax
LLP, Deloitte & Touche LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in
matters unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases and has
obtained waivers from these parties with respect to its engagement
by the Fee Committee.

In this light, Mr. Stern maintains that Hughes Hubbard is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined under Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors will pay CBRE at a rate of 80 basis points of the
gross purchase price of the Property.  Gross purchase price will
include any and all consideration received or receivable for the
Property, including, but not limited to assumption or release of
existing liabilities.  The Fee will be earned for services
rendered if:

   (a) During the 180 days after a Listing Agreement between the

          (i) the Property is sold to a purchaser procured by

commission or other compensation except for expenses incurred,

request by CBRE.

not keep time records, the Debtors propose that after the
realization of any Fee, CBRE will be required to serve a
statement setting forth (a) a general description of the work
performed by CBRE, and (b) a description of the method CBRE used
to calculate its Fee and Expenses to the Debtors, the Debtors'
counsel, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, the
United States Trustee for Region 2, and the Official Committee of
Equity Security Holders.

Craig S. Henig, a senior managing director of the Arizona region
of CBRE, says that his firm provided services to certain parties

Code.


GENERAL GROWTH: To Hire KPMG as Ordinary Course Professional
------------------------------------------------------------
General Growth Properties Inc. and its units, pursuant to Sections
327 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, seek the Court's authority to
employ, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date, KPMG LLP, a
professional utilized by the Debtors in the ordinary course of
business.

As an ordinary course professional, KPMG will continue to perform
prepetition services to Debtor GGP/Homart, Inc., and certain
affiliated entities with respect to tax compliance and tax
consulting matters, including:

   (a) preparation of federal and state corporate and partnership
       tax returns and supporting schedules for GGP/Homart's 2008
       tax year;

   (b) preparation of federal and state corporate and limited
       liability company tax returns and supporting schedules for
       GGP/Homart's 2009 tax year;

   (c) providing routine tax advice concerning the federal state,
       local, and foreign tax matters related to the preparation
       of prior year's federal, state, local, and foreign tax
       matters;

   (d) providing routine tax advice concerning the federal,
       state, local, and foreign tax matters related to the
       computation of the GGP/Homart's taxable income for the
       current year or future years; and

   (e) providing routine dealings with a federal, state, local,
       or foreign tax authority.

In addition, KPMG will provide other consulting, advice,
research, planning, and analysis regarding tax compliance and tax
consulting services as may be necessary, desirable or requested
from time to time.

General Growth Properties, Inc. Vice President and Deputy General
Counsel Linda Wight, Esq., relates that the proposed employment of
KPMG as an OCP avoids incurrence of additional fees relating to
the preparation and prosecution of interim fee applications.  She
further says that KPMG has not and will not be assisting the
Debtors in carrying out their duties under the Bankruptcy Code and
is involved in performing discrete tax compliance and consulting
services.  Indeed, the OCP Motion included KPMG on its list of
Ordinary Course Professionals, she discloses.  However, after
extensive negotiations with the U.S. Trustee for Region 2, and at
the request of the U.S. Trustee, the Debtors removed all non-
attorney professionals from the OCP list, including KPMG, she
says.

However, if the Court determines that the Services of KPMG should
not be utilized in the ordinary course, the Debtors seek to
employ KPMG pursuant to Sections 327(a) and 330 of the Bankruptcy
Code, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

The Debtors seek KPMG's employment be made effective nunc pro
tunc to the Petition Date to allow KPMG to be compensated for
work performed on or after April 16, 2009, but prior to the
submission of this Application.  Ms. Wight affirms that since the
Petition Date, KPMG has been providing the Debtors with the
Services in reliance on the OCP Motion totaling $67,000.  The
Debtors believe that the circumstances of the retention of KPMG
warrant the retroactive approval of KPMG's fees.

KPMG will bill the Debtors these fees:

    Project                          Fees
    -------                          ----
    Tax Compliance Services - 2008   Lesser of actual time
                                     incurred to complete the
                                     work at 50% of the standard
                                     rates, or $55,000

    Tax Compliance Services - 2009   Lesser of actual time
                                     incurred to complete the
                                     work at 70% of the standard
                                     rates, or $60,500

    Tax Consulting Services          70% of the standard hourly
                                     rates, based on the actual
                                     time incurred to complete
                                     the work

Moreover, KPMG's discounted hourly rates for tax compliance and
tax consulting services are:

   Tax Compliance and Tax                Discounted
   Consulting Services                   Fee Range
   ----------------------                ------------
   Partners                              $365 to $510
   Tax Managing Directors                $325 to $455
   Senior Managers                       $300 to $420
   Managers                              $238 to $333
   Senior Associates                     $175 to $245
   Associates                            $140 to $195

The Debtors will reimburse KPMG for expenses incurred.

KMPG disclosed that during the 90 immediately preceding the
Petition Date, it received from the Debtors fees and expenses
totaling $354,452 for its then ongoing services.

Perry V. Plescia, a partner at KPMG, disclosed that his firm has
provided, currently provides and may provide services for certain
parties in matters unrelated to the Debtors, a list of which is
available for free at:

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

Notwithstanding this disclosure, Mr. Plescia insists that KPMG is
a "disinterested person," as that term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

GMAC INC: Moody's Reviews Servicing Facility for Downgrade
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's placed on review for possible downgrade the Aaa rating of
the Series 2004-VF1 variable funding note, which finances
outstanding servicing advances made on loans in designated
residential mortgage-backed securities.  The sponsors of the
transaction are GMAC Mortgage, LLC (GMACM) and Residential Funding
Company, LLC (RFC), which are wholly owned subsidiaries of
Residential Capital, LLC (rated C) which in turn is owned by GMAC,
Inc (rated B3).

This rating action is prompted by information that came to light
in the course of Moody's most recent operational review of the
GMAC servicer advance facility (SAF). In that review, Moody's
learned that the sponsors employed cash management arrangements
that could give rise to competing claims in a bankruptcy
proceeding, which would jeopardize repayment of investors in the
SAF.  The practice in question involves commingling the cash flows
of multiple RMBS deals into a shared bankruptcy-remote bank
account.  The use of the shared bank account in combination with
the accepted industry practice of netting principal and interest
(P&I) advances, could give rise to competing claims on the cash
used to reimburse the P&I advances sold to the SAF. If these
competing claims are successful in diverting cash from the SAF,
they would adversely affect the probability that the GMAC SAF
notes will be paid in full.

In the GMAC SAF, the sponsors adopted a practice of routing the
cash from multiple RMBS deals designated to the SAF to a shared
P&I custodial account. On each remittance date, the sponsors
calculate the aggregate P&I remittance amount due on all the RMBS
deals using the shared account, determine the cash available in
the account, and then fund the remaining P&I amounts due with
corporate funds. To the extent that the bank account includes cash
collected that is not due in the current remittance period, the
sponsors can "borrow" these remittance amounts and use them to
offset their servicing advance obligation. This practice is called
"netting." In the following remittance period, these "borrowed"
funds will need to be repaid to the "lending" RMBS by the
sponsors. To the extent that the next period amounts are not
sufficient to cover the sponsors' full servicing advance
obligation in addition to the amount "borrowed" from the "lending"
RMBS deals in the prior periods, the sponsors will have to fund
these shortfalls, either through corporate funding or another
funding source.

Although netting of servicer advance payments is a common industry
practice, it is typically only done on advances made within one
RMBS deal. Future remittance amounts from one RMBS deal are not
typically used to offset servicing advance obligations on another
RMBS deal. In the case of the GMAC SAF, because multiple RMBS
deals are included in a shared bank account, the netting process
allowed the sponsors to commingle some cash collected on all of
the RMBS deals and allowed them to apply cash collected from one
RMBS deal, (but not due until a future remittance date), to cover
P&I servicer advance obligations on another RMBS deal.

According to the sponsors, they discontinued the practice of
netting on February 1, 2010, but they continue to commingle the
cash flows from multiple RMBS deals in a shared bank account.
Allowing the netting process to occur across RMBS deals in a
common bank account, increases the likelihood that in a sponsor
bankruptcy, some RMBS deals are not able to recover the amounts
"borrowed" by the sponsors to fund advances on other RMBS deals.
To make the "lending" RMBS whole, the underlying deal parties (
e.g., the trustee, successor servicer, bond insurer or investors)
could make a claim on advance reimbursements that have been sold
to the SAF, thus diverting cash away from the SAF.

The sponsors have communicated to Moody's a corrective action
plan, under which: (i) beginning on February 1, 2010, they
discontinued the netting process and replaced it with a manual
workaround to fund advances on a loan level, rather than on a bank
account level, (ii) they will report to Moody's and to investors
the amount of servicer advances that the sponsors are required to
fund without benefit of the netting, and the progress that they
are making in implementing the new process, (iii) they plan to
formally amend the SAF legal documents to prohibit netting , (iv)
they will engage a third party verification agent to validate on
an on-going basis the discontinuation of the legacy netting
practice and (v) they have made a decision to revamp their cash
management process to only allow cash flow from one RMBS deal in a
custodial bank account to be implemented April 1, 2010.  This last
step, when implemented, should eliminate the commingling of cash
and netting of P&I advances across multiple RMBS deals.

The new internal processes that the sponsors have proposed to
prevent netting across RMBS deals are complex and manual in
nature, and their implementation is dependant on key personnel,
all of which increases the operational risk associated with the
SAF. In addition, the implementation of these new processes will
increase the liquidity needs of the sponsors who are already
facing significant financial strain.  Finally, the new practice,
that discontinues netting, is yet to be formalized in the
governing documents of the SAF. During the review period, Moody's
will consider the actions that the sponsors take to address the
concerns Moody's has outlined. Should the sponsors implement the
measures they have described to the satisfaction of Moody's
concerns, Moody's would likely affirm the ratings.

The complete rating action is as follows:

Series 2004-VF1: Aaa on review for possible downgrade; previous
rating action on June 27, 2005 Aaa rated.


GMAC INC: Moody's Hikes Unsec. Rating to 'B3' With Stable Outlook
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the senior unsecured rating of
GMAC, Inc. and GMAC-supported subsidiaries to B3 from Ca, with a
stable rating outlook.  The long-term rating of mortgage finance
subsidiary Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) was affirmed at C,
with a stable rating outlook.

This concludes Moody's review of GMAC's ratings initiated on
June 10, 2009.  The upgrade of GMAC's rating reflects the
improvement in the firm's capital position resulting from its
December 2009 issuance of $2.54 billion of trust preferred
securities and $1.25 billion of mandatory convertible preferred
securities (MCP) to the U.S. Treasury.  GMAC's capital position
also benefited from the U.S. Treasury's conversion of $3.0 billion
of its existing MCP into GMAC common equity.  The U.S. Treasury
now owns 56% of GMAC.  The additional capital enabled GMAC to
maintain relatively stable capital ratios even as it absorbed
$3.28 billion of fourth quarter 2009 pre-tax charges to mark
certain residential mortgages to fair value, $.57 billion of
repurchase reserve expense, and $.81 billion of other significant
items that contributed to a $4.95 billion net loss for the
quarter.

"In our view, the U.S. Treasury's substantial stake in GMAC has a
stabilizing influence on the company's otherwise challenged credit
profile," said Moody's senior analyst Mark Wasden. "Though it is
weaker on a standalone basis, GMAC's credit profile is lifted to a
B3 level as a result of the U.S. Treasury's investment in and
support of GMAC."

Moody's expectation is that the U.S. Treasury will continue its
involvement in and support of GMAC until it has achieved a level
of operational and funding stability that puts it in a position to
exist independent of government support. The stable outlook
reflects Moody's view that the U.S. Treasury's involvement with
GMAC will extend for at least the next 12-18 months, the timeframe
for Moody's ratings outlooks.

Moody's said that continuing uncertainties at ResCap, in terms of
asset quality performance and liquidity, remain constraints to
GMAC's ratings.

Moody's assumes that GMAC will remain supportive of ResCap as it
continues to manage its remaining risk exposures through eventual
liquidation or sale. ResCap has approximately $2 billion of long-
term debt maturing in 2010, funds for which Moody's believes are
likely to be provided by GMAC, whose own liquidity resources are
constrained.  An unexpected deterioration in asset performance or
increase in loan repurchase obligations at ResCap could further
weigh on GMAC's capital and liquidity.

GMAC's own liquidity challenges also continue as a rating
constraint.

GMAC has considerable debt maturities through 2012, including $7.5
billion of TLGP debt maturities in 2012. Moody's believes that
GMAC will need to issue unsecured debt to fund debt maturities at
the parent holding company. However, the firm's ability to
consistently access this market is not assured, though the U.S.
Treasury's investment in the firm could help to ease investor
concerns. Additionally, Moody's believes there is execution risk
associated with GMAC's business and funding transitions, including
growth expectations for Ally Bank.

Supporting GMAC's upgrade is the improved operating prospects for
GMAC's auto finance operations as the economy stabilizes. However,
Moody's expects that GMAC's auto finance risk-adjusted returns
will remain below historical levels for the foreseeable future due
to elevated credit loss experience and the high cost of certain
funding sources.

The rating outlook and ratings could come under upward pressure if
there is a meaningful and certain diminution of GMAC's remaining
credit and support exposures to ResCap. A further strengthening of
GMAC's liquidity position to the degree that it can reliably serve
the firm's operating requirements independent of the U.S.
government's involvement would also positively influence the
firm's ratings and outlook. Moody's believes that as a condition
for maintaining the current B3 rating and stable outlook, GMAC
must demonstrate improved profitability in its core auto finance
business during 2010, as this will be necessary to improve the
prospects for the firm to access debt and possibly equity capital.
Ratings upgraded in today's action include:

   GMAC, Inc.:
      Issuer Rating: to B3 from Ca
      Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca
      Preferred Stock, Series A: to Caa3 from C

   General Motors Acceptance Corp. of Canada Ltd.:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC, Australia (Finance) Limited:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC Australia LLC:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC International Finance B.V.:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC (NZ) Limited:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

   GMAC Bank GmbH:
      Backed Senior Unsecured: to B3 from Ca

In its last rating action on June 10, 2009, Moody's upgraded
GMAC's senior unsecured rating to Ca from C and placed its ratings
on review for further possible upgrade.


GREDE FOUNDRIES: Seeks to Reject USW CBA and Retiree Benefits
-------------------------------------------------------------
Grede Foundries, Inc., and its affiliates ask the Bankruptcy Court
for authority to:

     -- terminate coverage of non-unionized retirees under four
        benefit plans effective February 28, 2010:

        (1) the Grede Foundries Group Health Plan;
        (2) Medicare Supplement Plan;
        (3) Group Life Insurance Plan; and
        (4) Aetna Medicare D Plan;

     -- reject the collective bargaining agreement with Local 564
        of the United Steel Workers; and

     -- terminate the Grede Foundries Group Health Plan and
        Grede's life insurance plan as its relates to unionized
        retirees and laid off employees.

According to NetDockets, in seeking to terminate retiree benefits
for non-unionized retirees, Grede asserts it has "the unambiguous
contractual right to terminate health plan benefits for Non-Union
Retirees at any time."  According to NetDockets, Grede points to a
language of the Anthem Health Benefit Booklet documenting the
Group Health Plan, which states: "Grede reserves the right to
terminate, suspend, withdraw, amend or modify the plan in whole or
in part at any time.  This right applies to retiree coverages and
benefits . . . as well as to all other portions of the plan."

NetDockets relates that by terminating the benefits, Grede argues
it will save:

     1) $1,624 per month by terminating the Group Health Plan with
        respect to three covered non-union retirees and one
        covered spouse;

     2) $28,595.23 per month by terminating the Medicare
        Supplement Plan with respect to 313 covered non-union
        retirees; and

     3) $10,493 per month by terminating the Group Life Plan with
        respect to 664 covered non-union retirees.

No cost savings are associated with termination of the Medicare D
Plan, as all 171 covered non-union retirees personally pay for
coverage.

According to NetDockets, the CBA with the USW Local 564 covers a
"bargaining unit of production and maintenance employees at a
foundry owned (until recently) by Grede in Vassar, Michigan."
That facility was sold to Revstone Industries, LLC pursuant to an
asset purchase agreement dated November 18, 2009.  The court
approved the sale on December 14, 2009, and all collectively-
bargained-for employees were permanently laid off by Grede --
unionized employees then had to apply for positions at the
facility with Revstone, which "a large number" elected not to do.

Grede also seeks to terminate coverage under the Group Health Plan
for 375 unionized retirees and spouses and under the Group Life
Plan for 201 unionized retirees.  According to NetDockets, Grede
asserts that, as of October 3, 2009, the present value of
continued payments under both plans for unionized retirees and
spouses was $24.8 million and the combined monthly cost was nearly
$163,000.

Grede sold substantially all of its remaining operating assets to
Iron Operating, LLC.  The sale was approved on December 14, 2009,
and was expected to close February 5, 2010.  According to
NetDockets, the "assets of Grede remaining after the sale of
Grede's operating assets (including the proceeds of the sales
themselves) will be vastly less than Grede's total remaining debts
and obligations."  As such, Grede asserts that the "expenses
associated with Grede continuing coverage for the Union Retirees
under the Plan and the life insurance plan are depleting the
remaining assets in the estate and reducing the amount of any
recovery for the other unsecured creditors."

HAEMACURE CORP: Has Until March 22 to File Proposal to Creditors
----------------------------------------------------------------
Haemacure Corporation has obtained a first extension until
March 22, 2010, of the delay within which to make a proposal
pursuant to the notice of intention to make a proposal to its
creditors it filed on January 8, 2010, under the Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act (Canada).  This extension is intended to allow
Haemacure to complete a call for tenders for the sale of its
assets, close a sale transaction with the successful tenderer,
seek the required approvals for the transaction and proposal to
creditors, and execute the proposal.

March 1, 2010 is the date by which interested parties must submit
tenders to purchase the assets of Haemacure and those of its
subsidiary in the United States.  Subject to the competing tenders
eventually received and the time required to negotiate assets sale
transactions, the closing of these transactions in Canada and the
United States may happen before the expiry of the first extension
obtained today, though there can be no assurance to this effect.

The recovery of any sums by creditors and shareholders of
Haemacure is uncertain and highly dependent upon a number of
factors, notably the outcome of the assets sale process undertaken
under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and Chapter 11 in
the United States.

Haemacure also confirms that the Toronto Stock Exchange will
delist its shares at the close of the market today for failure to
meet continued listing requirements.

Haemacure Corporation -- http://www.haemacure.com/en/-- is a
Canada-based company.  It is a bio-therapeutics company developing
human therapeutic proteins for commercialization.  The Company's
two human plasma-based products are: Hemaseel HMN, a fibrin
sealant, and Hemaseel Thrombin, an active, absorbable haemostatic
agent, which is in the preclinical stage.  Fibrin sealant has
application in hemostasis adhesion and wound healing, adhesion
prevention, aesthetics, combination with biomaterials, drug
delivery, regenerative medicine and skin graft fixation for burn
injuries.  The Company also sells two fibrin sealant delivery
devices under the trademarks HemaMyst, which is a double-syringe
applicator, and HemaSyst, which is an aerosol application system.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary is Haemacure U.S.


HALCYON HOLDING: Sony Bids for Terminator Franchise Rights
----------------------------------------------------------
Dave McNary at Variety reports that Sony submitted a bid for the
right to the "Terminator" franchise of Halcyon Group.  Lionsgate
also bid for the rights for $15 million and a 5% cut of future
gross receipts.

Lionsgate will get $750,000 break-up fee if Halcyon consummates
the deal to another bidder, Mr. McNary notes.  The rights is worth
more than $70 million, he adds.

According to the Trouble Company Reporter, interested purchasers
has until Feb. 5, 2010, tosubmit their offers for the rights,
followed by a hearing on Feb. 10, 2010, to consider approval.

Halcyon Holding Group LLC is the company that produced "Terminator
Salvation," a film that generated $369 million in box office
receipts.   Halcyon Holding Group LLC and two affiliated companies
filed Chapter 11 petitions on Aug. 17 in Los Angeles, California
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 09-31854).  Halcyon said it has
between $50 million and $100 million in both assets and debts.


HAWAIIAN TELCOM: Hawaii PUC Conflict Could Affect Emergence
-----------------------------------------------------------
A reported dispute among the members of the Hawaii Public
Utilities Commission could stall the release of a regulatory
approval Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc., and its debtor
affiliates are trying to obtain from the agency in line with the
Company's planned exit from bankruptcy.

The dispute at the HPUC involves Commissioner Leslie Kondo, who
accused the other commissioners, Carlito Caliboso and John Cole,
of excluding him from the agency's decision-making on a renewable
energy case of Hawaii Electric Co., the Honolulu Advertiser
reports.  Decision-making at the HPUC has also been beset with,
and slowed down by, staff and budget cuts, the report adds.

Among Hawaii's largest regulatory issues the HPUC has to tackle
is that of Hawaiian Telcom's reorganization, competition in the
interisland shipping industry and Gov. Linda Lingle's clean
energy initiative, the Honolulu Advertiser notes.

Mr. Caliboso recognized the backlog of cases at the HPUC.  The
Honolulu Advertiser pointed out that as per the PUC's own index
of cases, about 329 items are pending on its docket.  They range
from consumer complaints, rate increase requests and other
utility matters, the report noted.  Amidst the backlogs, Mr.
Caliboso disclosed that Hawaiian Telcom's case is a high priority
for the Commission, the Honolulu Advertiser relates.

The HPUC, however, is not expected to hand down any decision on
Hawaiian Telcom's case for another six to nine months, according
to the report.

Hawaiian Telcom needs regulatory approval from the HPUC so that
it can move forward to consummating its Chapter 11 Plan and apply
for a final closing decree of its bankruptcy cases from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Hawaii.  The Court formally
entered a confirmation order on Hawaiian Telcom's bankruptcy plan
last December 30, 2009.

HERBST GAMING: HSBC Bank Appeals Amended Confirmation Order
-----------------------------------------------------------
On January 22, Herbst Gaming, Inc., and its units won an amended
order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada
confirming their First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
previously filed on July 22, 2009.

In a regulatory filing Wednesday, Herbst Gaming disclosed that on
January 28, 2010, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, filed
a notice of appeal from the amended order.

A copy of the amended confirmation order is available at no charge
at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?4f36

A copy of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in Support
of Order Confirming Debtors' First Amended Plan is available at no

                       About Herbst Gaming

Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Herbst Gaming, Inc. --
http://www.herbstgaming.com/-- is a diversified gaming company.
The Company and its subsidiaries focus on two business lines, slot
route operations and casino operations.  The Company's route
operations involves the exclusive installation and, as of
Sept. 30, 2009, operation of approximately 6,300 slot machines in
non-casino locations, such as grocery stores, drug stores,
convenience stores, bars and restaurants.  The casino operations
consist of 16 casinos located in Nevada, Iowa and Missouri.

The Company and 17 of its affiliates filed for Chapter 11
protection on March 22, 2009 (Bankr. D. Nev. Lead Case No.
09-50752).  Thomas H. Fell, Esq., and Gerald M. Gordon, Esq., at
Gordon Silver, represent the Debtors in their restructuring
efforts.  Herbst Gaming had $919.1 million in total assets; and
$33.5 million in total liabilities not subject to compromise and
$1.24 billion in liabilities subject to compromise, resulting in
$361.0 million in stockholders' deficiency as of March 31, 2009.


HERTZ CORP: Bank Debt Trades at 3% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which The Hertz
Corporation is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 97.38
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.55
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The debt matures on Dec. 21, 2012, and carries Moody's
B a1 rating and Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The syndicated loan
is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 180 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

The Hertz Corporation, a subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE: HTZ), based in Park Ridge, New Jersey, is the world's
largest general use car rental brand, operating from approximately
8,000 locations in 147 countries worldwide.  Hertz also operates
one of the world's largest equipment rental businesses, Hertz
Equipment Rental Corporation, through more than 375 branches in
the United States, Canada, France, Spain and China.

In July, Fitch Ratings downgraded Hertz Corporation's Issuer
Default Rating to "BB-" from "BB", and Moody's lowered Hertz's
Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default to "B1" from
"Ba3".


HEXION SPECIALTY: Raises Prices for Resins, Acrylic Products
------------------------------------------------------------
Effective March 1, 2010, or as contracts allow, Hexion Specialty
Chemicals, Inc., will increase prices for its epoxy resins in the
Americas from four to eight cents per pound, depending on the
resin type.  The price adjustment is driven by increases in the
cost of key raw materials.

Last week, Hexion said that effective February 15, 2010, or as
contracts allow, its North American Dispersions business will
increase prices by five cents per wet pound in the United States
and Canada for all acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic and
other polymers used in the adhesives, textiles, nonwovens and
construction markets.  Hexion also indicated the price increase is
necessary due to recent increases in the cost of raw materials
used to manufacture the products.

Also in January, Hexion's wholly owned subsidiaries, Hexion
Finance Escrow LLC and Hexion Escrow Corporation, commenced an
offer to sell $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.875%
senior secured notes due 2018 at an issue price of 99.296%, plus
accrued interest, if any.  The offering was increased from
$700 million.

In an offering circular, Hexion said its cash debt service for
2010, based on the amount of indebtedness outstanding at September
30, 2009, as adjusted for the effects of the proposed offering and
the fourth quarter redemption and maturity of the Company's
Industrial Revenue Bonds, is expected to be $298 million based on
current interest rates, of which $220 million represents debt
service on fixed-rate obligations (including variable rate debt
subject to interest rate swap agreements).

Hexion said upon release from escrow (if such escrow is
necessary), it will use the net proceeds from the proposed
offering to repay $800 million aggregate principal amount of the
term loans under its $2.2 billion senior secured credit
facilities, to pay fees and expenses related to the proposed
offering and for general corporate purposes.

Also in January, Hexion sold its Italian solvent-borne alkyd and
polyester coating resins business to an affiliate of Tenax group,
an Italian-based company that produces similar products.  Terms of
the agreement were not disclosed.

The sale included all aspects of the business, including a
production facility in Cola di Lazise, Italy.  Tenax group plans
to continue to operate the Cola di Lazise plant and to offer
employment to the 44 people associated with the business.  The
sale represents Hexion's exit from the European solvent-borne
coatings market.

Hexion continues to fully participate in the waterborne, powder
coatings and coating resins markets, both in Europe and globally.

Hexion has said as of September 30, 2009, it is targeting
$175 million in productivity savings.  The Company has said it
anticipates achieving these savings over the next 15 months by
2011.  The Company expects to incur $70 million in one-time costs
to achieve these savings, including restructuring costs and
expected capital expenditures related to productivity programs.
The Company, however, warned a variety of factors could cause it
not to achieve the remaining $175 million in productivity savings,
including not being able to fund the $70 million in one-time
costs.

On January 12, Hexion obtained additional commitments from
revolving facility lenders for new revolving loans under Hexion's
senior secured credit facility which will take effect upon the
expiration of the existing revolving facility commitments.  The
total amount of commitments that have been obtained for the new
revolving loans is approximately $200 million (which includes
$175 million of commitments previously announced).  The
commitments for the new revolving loans are subject to customary
conditions.

The new loan commitments will become effective upon the May 31,
2011 maturity of the existing revolving credit facility and will
mature 91 days prior to the maturity date of the term loans under
the senior secured credit facility, which is May 5, 2013.

Committing lenders are being offered a 2.00% upfront fee as well
as a 2.00% ticking fee on their commitments. The new revolving
loans, which cannot be drawn until the existing revolving credit
facility matures, will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus
4.50%. The terms and conditions of Hexion's existing revolving
credit facility will remain in full force and effect and have not
been altered by these new commitments, including but not limited
to the interest rate.

On January 25, as reported by the Troubled Company Reporter,
Hexion entered into an amendment agreement to its second amended
and restated credit agreement dated November 3, 2006, among other
things: (i) allow Hexion to agree with individual lenders to
extend the maturity of their term loans or revolving commitments,
and for Hexion to pay increased interest rates or otherwise modify
the terms of their loans or revolving commitments in connection
with such an extension, (ii) extend the maturity of term loans
held by accepting lenders to May 5, 2015 and increase the interest
rate with respect to such term loans, (iii) allow for the issuance
of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured
notes due 2018, (iv) allow for one or more future issuances of
additional senior notes or loans, which may include, in each case,
indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the obligations
under the senior secured credit facilities, so long as, in each
case, among other things, an agreed amount of the net cash
proceeds from any such issuance are used to prepay term loans or
revolving loans under the senior secured credit facilities at par,
(v) reset the amount available under incremental credit facilities
to $200 million, (vi) allow for one or more future issuances of
additional indebtedness, which may include indebtedness secured on
a junior basis with the obligations under the senior secured
credit facilities or unsecured indebtedness, in an amount not to
exceed the amount available under incremental credit facilities,
(vii) allow for certain types of receivables financing, or (viii)
amend certain of the existing covenants therein.

term loan debt with $1 billion of 8.875% 1.5 lien notes due 2018.
Proceeds were used to repay roughly $800 million in first lien
term loan debt.  In addition, Hexion received approval from its
first lien debt holders to extend roughly $900 million of the
remaining term loan for two years.

IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES: Posts $1.8 Million Net Loss in Q3 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------
Imperial Industries, Inc., reported a net loss of $1,804,000, or
$0.71 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009 compared to
a net loss of $1,810,000, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the
third quarter of 2008.

Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, were
$2,186,000, compared to $2,424,000 for the same period in 2008, a
decrease of 9.8%.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company had a
loss from continuing operations of $274,000, or $0.11 per diluted
share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $324,000,
or $0.13 per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2008.
Discontinued operations related to the closure of the Company's
distribution facilities during 2009 and 2008, accounted for losses
of $1,530,000, or $0.60 per diluted share for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1,486,000, or $0.59 per
diluted share in the third quarter of 2008.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, were
$6,864,000, compared to $7,788,000 for the same period in 2008, a
decrease of 11.9%.  The Company realized a loss from continuing
operations of $1,440,000, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the 2009
nine month period compared to a loss from continuing operations of
$558,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the comparable period in
2008.  Discontinued operations accounted for losses of $2,798,000,
or $1.10 per diluted share, and $4,038,000, or $1.61 per diluted
share, for the 2009 and 2008 respective nine month periods.  Net
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $4,238,000,
or $1.67 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4,596,000,
or $1.83 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008.

Results of operations for both the third quarter and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009, were adversely affected by the
continuing decline in construction activity and weak demand for
the Company's products throughout the Florida market, the
Company's principal trade area.  In addition, the Company's
subsidiary, Just-Rite Supply, Inc., terminated all operations of
its distribution facilities on June 11, 2009, and entered into an
Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in which all of its
assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, were transferred to
the Assignee to sell and liquidate for the benefit of creditors
pursuant to Florida State Law.  Restructuring fees and other costs
associated with the discontinuance of these operations, including
a charge against continuing operations for an estimated loss
contingency of $627,000, had a significant effect on the
Corporation's continuing results of operations for the 2009 nine
month period.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed total assets of $9,042,000, total liabilities of $7,819,000
and total stockholders' equity of $1,223,000.

                 Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had negative working capital of $1,410,000 at
September 30, 2009, compared to working capital of $2,021,000 at
December 31, 2008.  The decrease in working capital was due
primarily to the decrease in current assets held for sale as a
result of the Assignment.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
and restricted cash of $803,000 compared to cash and cash
equivalents and restricted cash of $423,000 at December 31, 2008.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, was $2,631,000 compared to net cash used
in operations of $3,494,000 for the same period of 2008.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, was $1,005,000 compared to net cash used
in investing activities of $35,000 for the same period of 2008.
The increase in cash provided by investing activities was due
primarily to the proceeds from the disposal of assets held for
sale.

Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, was $3,262,000 compared to net cash provided
by financing activities of $3,234,000 for the same period of 2008.
The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was due
primarily to the repayment of debt.

                       Going Concern Doubt

The industry in which the Company is operating has been impacted
by a number of adverse factors over the past three and a half
years.  As a result, the Company has incurred losses for the nine
and three months ended September 30, 2009, and the year ended
December 31, 2008.  The Company's independent registered public
accounting firm issued its report dated March 27, 2009, in
connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements as
of December 31, 2008, that included an explanatory paragraph
describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations
and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing
various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is
considering additional actions to improve the Company's operating
and financial results, which the Company hopes will be sufficient
to provide it with the ability to continue as a going concern.

JAPAN AIRLINES: Might Stick With American Airlines
--------------------------------------------------
Mariko Sanchanta and Mike Esterl at The Wall Street Journal report
that Japan Airlines Corp. is leaning toward maintaining its
longstanding alliance with AMR Corp.'s American Airlines instead
of teaming up with Delta Air Lines Inc.

The Journal, citing people close to the protracted tug-of-war for
Asia's largest carrier, relates that American's bid to keep JAL
has gained traction recently at least in part because of growing
concerns a JAL-Delta partnership would trigger antitrust concerns
in the U.S.

The Troubled Company Reporter, citing the Wall Street Journal,
said on January 13, 2010, that Japanese government officials were
pushing JAL to choose Delta as its new alliance partner over
American.  People familiar with the matter told the Journal at
that time that JAL received official advice that a tie-up with
Delta would be more advantageous on the grounds that Delta has a
more robust trans-Pacific flight network and a stronger Asian
network than American.

The Journal now relates one person close to the deliberations said
JAL's new chairman, Kazuo Inamori, started from scratch in
deciding whether Asia's biggest carrier by revenue should ally
itself with Fort Worth, Texas-based American or Atlanta-based
Delta in a joint venture on trans-Pacific flights.

Mr. Inamori, who took over as JAL's chairman Feb. 1, has had
conversations with officials in Washington focusing on whether a
Delta-JAL tie-up would receive antitrust immunity, the Journal's
source added.

The Journal relates the Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. of
Japan, the quasi-governmental body that is tasked with
restructuring JAL, is also favoring a broader tie-up with
American.

JAL plans to tell Delta as early as this week that it will
terminate the tie-up negotiation, while together with American the
Japanese airline will apply for anti-trust immunity with the US
Department of Transportation within this month, the AFP reports
citing the Nikkei business daily.

Masaru Onishi, the new president of JAL, said an official decision
on a partner is slated to be made this week or early next week,
the Journal notes.

KEMET CORP: Posts $1.8 Million Net Loss in December Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------
KEMET Corporation reported a net loss of $1.8 million for the
third quarter ended December 31, 2009, as compared to a net loss
of $13.1 million for the same period of fiscal year 2009.

Net sales for third quarter of fiscal year 2010 were
$199.9 million, which represented a 4.8% increase from net sales
of $190.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Improving economic conditions led to higher sales in each of the
quarters following the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 when the
impact of the economic downturn had its most adverse affect on the
Company's sales and net sales declined to $136.0 million.  Net
sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 improved to
$150.2 million, a 10.4% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2009, and net sales improved to $173.3 million in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2010, a 15.4% increase compared to first
fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2010.  Similarly, net sales further
improved to $199.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal year
2010, a 15.3% increase compared to the second quarter of fiscal
year 2010.  The Company expects this trend of improving sales to
continue, albeit at a more moderate rate, in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2010 if the global economy continues to improve.

Gross margin percentage for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010
increased to 18.2% from 12.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year
2009.  Savings from several cost reduction plans that were
initiated throughout fiscal year 2009 were partially responsible
for the improvement.  These improvements were partially offset by
a higher negative gross margin in Film and Electrolytic for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2010 where further cost reductions
are needed in order to offset the impact of lower volume.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 was
$6.2 million compared to an operating loss of $8.2 million for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2009.  Gross margin increased
$12.1 million as compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Operating expenses increased $1.1 million and restructuring
charges were $3.3 million lower than the third quarter of fiscal
year 2009.  In addition, write-down of long-lived assets increased
by $0.7 million over the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 which
was offset by a decrease in loss on sales and disposals of assets
of $814,000 over the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Other expense, net increased from an expense of $4.2 million in
the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 to an expense of
$8.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.  Other
expense increased in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 versus
the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to an
increase in foreign currency translation losses and interest
expense increased by $849,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year
2010 compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2009 due
to an increase in debt discount amortization.

Income tax benefit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 was
$93,000 compared to an income tax expense of $793,000 for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

                          Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed total assetsof $743.7 million, total liabilities of
$452.0 million, and $total stockholders' equity of $291.7 million.

A full-text copy of the Company's quarterly report for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2010 is available for free at:

                        Liquidity and Debt

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $25.8 million for the nine
month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared with a decrease
of $56.0 million during the nine month period ended December 31,
2008.

Cash flows from operations improved by $46.7 million in the nine
month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to the nine month
period ended December 31, 2008.  The Company generated cash from
operating assets and operating liabilities of $13.5 million as it
continued to focus on controlling its working capital.  However,
when compared to the nine month period ended December 31, 2008,
cash generated from operating assets and liabilities decreased by
$1.3 million.  The increase in cash generated from operations
occurred primarily through an improvement in the Company's
operating cost structure.  This improvement was driven largely
through cost savings generated by the cost reduction plans
initiated throughout fiscal year 2009.  The $38.9 million gain on
early extinguishment of debt and the $81.1 million increase in the
warrant value were non-cash items and did not affect cash provided
by operations in the nine month period ended December 31, 2009.
Similarly, two large non-cash items affected net income in the
nine month period ended December 31, 2008, but did not affect cash
provided by operations.  These items included goodwill impairment
and the write down of long-lived assets for $239.5 million.

Cash used in investing activities was $9.1 million for nine month
period ended December 31, 2009, compared to cash provided by
investing activities of $6.2 million in the nine month period
ended December 31, 2008.  The primary reason for the decrease was
the receipt of $34.9 million in proceeds from the sale of assets
in the nine month period ended December 31, 2008, and an increase
of $1.5 million in restricted cash for the nine month ended
December 31, 2009. due to amounts received from the Ministry of
Economy in Mexico to be utilized for salary or salary related
expenses for our Mexican operations.  These decreases in cash used
in investing activities were partially offset by a $20.1 million
decrease in capital expenditures and a decrease of $1.0 million
related to acquisitions in the nine month period ended
December 31, 2009, compared to the nine month period ended
December 31, 2008.

Cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million in the nine
month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared to cash used in
financing activities of $50.1 million in the nine month period
ended December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with its
financial covenants under the Revised Amended and Restated
Platinum Credit Facility and Facility A with UniCredit Corporate
Banking S.p.A..  In addition, based on the Company's performance
for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009, and future
operating plans, the Company currently forecasts that the Company
will be in compliance with the financial covenants required by the
Revised Amended and Restated Platinum Credit Facility and Facility
A at each of the measurement dates during fiscal year 2010.  The
Company continues to anticipate a steady recovery over the next
several quarters of the principal markets and industries into
which its products are sold.  The Company's expectations in this
regard are based on various information sources including industry
surveys and input from various key customers.  Notwithstanding the
Company's performance during the nine month period ended
December 31, 2009, there can be no assurance that the Company will
achieve its forecasted operating profit, generate adequate
liquidity, or meet the financial covenants required by the Revised
Amended and Restated Platinum Credit Facility and the UniCredit
facilities for the balance of the fiscal year.

The Company's liquidity needs arise from working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, principal and interest
payments on debt, and costs associated with the implementation of
restructuring plans.  Historically, these cash needs have been met
by cash flows from operations, borrowings under credit agreements,
and existing cash balances.

At December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009, the Company had total
long-term debt of outstanding of $222.1 million and
$280.8 million, respectively.

                       Going Concern Doubt

In its report dated June 30, 2009, regarding the Company's
consolidated financial statements, KPMG LLP, expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
as a result of the decline in net sales, profitability and
liquidity during the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company's
expectation that it will achieve the required level of
profitability under an "EBITDA" covenant by only a narrow margin
and that, given the degree of uncertainty with respect to the
near-term outlook for the global economy and the possible effects
on the Company's operations, there is significant uncertainty as
to whether the Company's forecasts will be achieved. .

LANDMARK FENCE: Alter Ego Claims Belong to Debtor's Estate
----------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that alter ego claims asserted by a corporate
Chapter 11 Debtor's employees, seeking to hold its sole
shareholder and chief executive officer personally liable for
overtime that the employees had allegedly worked without receiving
any additional pay or benefits, based on an alleged lack of
separation between the corporation and the CEO, who allegedly made
all corporate decisions and controlled all finances, including
those dealing with employment and pay issues, were general alter
ego claims, that belonged to the bankruptcy estate.  The lack of
separation on which the employees relied as a basis for piercing
the corporate veil and holding the CEO personally liable for
unpaid overtime severely impacted the financial condition of the
corporation as a whole and resulted in general damages to all
creditors.  In re Landmark Fence Co. Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2010 WL

Law360 reports that investors in minibonds marketed by Lehman
Brothers Holdings Inc. have appealed to the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York a bankruptcy court's
dismissal of their class action, which sought to prevent the
seizure of more than $1 billion in collateral currently held by
HSBC Bank USA.

Meanwhile, ABI reports that U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on
Tuesday threw out a lawsuit by participants in Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc.'s retirement plan over allegations that the
company's directors knew of Lehman's deteriorating financial
condition but failed to protect the plan.

                      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
financial markets by serving the financial needs of corporations,
governmental units, institutional clients and individuals
worldwide.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy September 15, 2008
(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,
effectively making the firm's  bankruptcy filing the largest in
U.S. history.  Several other affiliates followed thereafter.

The Debtors' bankruptcy cases are handled by Judge James M. Peck.
Harvey R. Miller, Esq., Richard P. Krasnow, Esq., Lori R. Fife,
Esq., Shai Y. Waisman, Esq., and Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at Weil,
Gotshal & Manges, LLP, in New York, represent Lehman.  Epiq
Bankruptcy Solutions serves as claims and noticing agent.

On September 19, 2008, the Honorable Gerard E. Lynch, Judge of the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered
an order commencing liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc., pursuant
to the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act (Case
No. 08-CIV-8119 (GEL)).  James W. Giddens has been appointed as
trustee for the SIPA liquidation of the business of LBI

The Bankruptcy Court has approved Barclays Bank Plc's purchase of
Lehman Brothers' North American investment banking and capital
markets operations and supporting infrastructure for
US$1.75 billion.  Nomura Holdings Inc., the largest brokerage
house in Japan, purchased LBHI's operations in Europe for US$2
plus the retention of most of employees.  Nomura also
bought Lehman's operations in the Asia Pacific for US$225 million.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: S&P Withdraws LBDP's Issuer Credit Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its issuer credit
ratings on Lehman Brothers Derivative Products Inc. and Lehman
Brothers Financial Products Inc.  The ratings were on CreditWatch
negative before the withdrawal.  LBDP and LBFP are derivative
product companies that intermediate interest rate and currency
swap transactions between Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc.
and market counterparties.  LBDP is a termination structure and
LBFP is a continuation structure.

The rating withdrawals reflect S&P's view that S&P has
insufficient information to assess the DPCs' ability to perform
their swap obligations to the counterparties following an extended
period in which they have not sent information regarding their
capital adequacy and continued performance to those
counterparties.

The two DPCs had supplied capital reports until shortly before
they filed for voluntary bankruptcy on Oct. 5, 2008, two weeks
after Lehman Brothers Inc. filed for voluntary bankruptcy in
September 2008.  LBDP's reports indicated that it had sufficient
financial resources to pay outstanding counterparty marks on the
scheduled termination payment day.  LBFP's reports stated that it
had sufficient financial resources to enable the contingent
manager to hedge LBFP's swaps according to its guidelines.  After
LBDP and LBFP filed for bankruptcy, S&P lowered its issuer credit
ratings on the DPCs to "CCt" and "CC", respectively, and placed
the ratings on CreditWatch negative because S&P believed the
filings would likely increase the uncertainty regarding LBDP's
termination payment process and LBFP's outstanding swap
performance.

While the bankruptcy court proceedings continue as of Feb. 4,
2010, S&P has not received any new information from LBDP and LBFP
regarding their capital adequacy and swap performance since their
bankruptcy filings.  In the absence of this information, S&P is
withdrawing its issuer credit ratings on the DPCs.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Amended Suit Filed vs. 3 Units & 10 Managers
-------------------------------------------------------------
A First Amended Complaint was filed before the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York on January 31, 2010, against
three Lehman Brothers affiliates and 10 Lehman managers.  The
complaint was originally filed on October 30, 2009, and was
assigned case number 1-cv-09-9100.

The filing was for "over 60 limited partners" (LPs) within LBREP
III who contributed funds to the effort to recover for real estate
losses.  The LPs appointed a 4-member Committee to prosecute the
action as representatives and retain counsel, Arthur Russell of
New York, and Ted Parker of Orinda, CA.  Class Period is November
2007 to May 2008.  LBREP III Class Members may move to serve as
lead plaintiff until April 6, 2010 -- 60 days after the Notice of
Amended Class action was issued.

The suit alleges PPM misstatements and omissions by Lehman
affiliates in selling partnership interests in LBREP III: PPMs
said investments would buy properties in the current market, but
Lehman merely dumped its overpriced investments onto investors
along with Lehman's substantial losses.

A lead plaintiff acts for other class members in directing
litigation.  To be appointed, the Court determines that the claim
is typical and he/she will adequately represent the class.  One or
more class members may be "lead plaintiffs."  The Committee seeks
an order entitling all members to be lead plaintiffs.

LEVEL PROPANE: 6th Cir. Says Motions to Vacate Were Too Late
------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that a bankruptcy court did not abuse its
discretion in determining that a creditor's motion to vacate
several key orders in the underlying bankruptcy case on the basis
of fraud was not brought within a "reasonable" time, within the
meaning of the rule governing motions for relief from judgment.
The bankruptcy case was more than seven years old, and allegations
of fraud were raised by the Chapter 11 Debtors' former sole
shareholder within the first six months of the case.  A court-
appointed examiner, moreover, thoroughly investigated the
allegations and concluded that the evidence did not support the
allegations of misconduct.  The Debtors' former sole shareholder
made at least five subsequent unsuccessful attempts to overturn
key orders based on his allegations of fraud.  Through its motion,
the creditor was attempting "one more bite at the apple" by
submitting "new" items of evidence going to the same issues of
fraud.  In re Level Propane Gases, Inc., ---B.R.----, 2010 WL
338818 (6th Cir. BAP).

Creditors of Level Propane Gasses, Inc., filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 petition against the company on June 11, 2002.  On
June 11, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Agreed Order and
Stipulation which converted the case to a chapter 11 proceeding.
During the second year of the bankruptcy case, the former sole
shareholder, William Maloof began to make allegations of fraud.
Prof. Ray Warner was appointed as examiner on April 30, 2003.  On
June 6, 2003, the Examiner filed his report with the Court, and
concluded that the evidence did not support the allegations of

LIGHTPATH TECH: Swings to $41,676 Net Income in Dec. Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
LightPath Technologies, Inc., announced Thursday financial results
for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $41,676 or
$0.01 per basic and $0.00 per diluted common share, compared with
a net loss of $1.7 million or $0.29 per basic and diluted per
common share for the same period in fiscal 2009.  Weighted-average
shares outstanding increased to 8,163,675 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2010 compared to 5,892,829 in the second quarter in fiscal
2009 primarily due to the issuance of shares of common stock
related to a private placement in the first quarter of fiscal
2010.

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended December 31,
2009, totaled $2.2 million compared to $1.9 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 16%.  The increase from the
second quarter of the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable
to higher sales volumes of precision molded optics offset by lower
volumes of isolators.

Mr. Jim Gaynor, President and CEO of LightPath, commented, "I am
extremely pleased to report LightPath's first positive net income
quarter in our history.  We were able to achieve this net income
due to hig her revenue, solid margin performance and lower SG&A
expenses. Second fiscal quarter revenue increased 37.5% over the
first fiscal quarter and we continued to grow our order backlog
which increased 29% over the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  This
growth is driven primarily by increased business resulting from
our new recently released low cost RoHS compliant lenses for laser
tools and telecom applications.  SG&A expenses in the second
fiscal quarter were lower due a one time payment related to a D&O
insurance claim and the extension of our investor relations media
contract.  As we continue to grow our top line and increase our
unit volume we anticipate continued margin improvement and
profitability resulting from better fixed cost utilization and our
previously announced direct cost improvements."

Mr. Gaynor continued, "We have identified markets that offer
substantial growth opportunity and we have introduced products
designed for these markets.  We have organized our sales channels
to address these markets and we are implementing our strategic
plan to penetrate these markets.  These improvements along with
continued aggressive cash management have positioned LightPath to
become cash positive and reach its profitability goals."

Gross margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2010
compared to second quarter of fiscal 2009 increased to 43% from
25%.  Total manufacturing cost of $1,269,000 was approximately
$170,000 lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to
the same period of the prior fiscal year.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010 total costs and expenses
decreased $590,000 to $754,000 compared to $1.3 million for the
same period in fiscal 2009.  Included in total costs and expenses
for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were $544,000 in selling,
general and administrative expenses, which decreased $565,000 or
51% from $1.1 million for the same period in the prior fiscal
year.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses included a reduction in salaries and benefits of $124,000
for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period
in fiscal 2009 resulting from reduced headcount and salary
reductions.  The Company also had an $88,000 decrease in
consulting fees, a $27,000 decrease in rent expense, a $33,000
decrease in board of directors fees and a decrease of $11,000 in
accounting fees.  Also, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010,
LightPath benefited from the receipt of a one-time payment in the
amount of $280,000 from the sale of its insurance claim against
the Company's prior D&O insurance carrier as a reimbursement of
legal expenses the Company incurred.  As a result, total operating
income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 improved to $204,000
compared to a loss of $877,000 for the same period in fiscal 2009.

Interest expense was approximately $163,000 in the second quarter
of fiscal 2010 as compared to $854,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2009.

                        Six Months Results

Revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2010 ended December 31,
2009, totaled $3.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the first
half of fiscal 2009, a decrease of 11%.  The decrease from the
first half of the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to
lower sales volumes across all product lines except precision
molded optics.

Total manufacturing cost of $2.2 million was $988,000 lower in the
first half of fiscal 2010 compoared to the same period of the
prior fiscal year.

During the first half of fiscal 2010 total operating expenses
decreased $900,000 to $1.9 million compared to $2.8 million for
the same period in fiscal 2009.  As a result, total operating loss
for the first half of fiscal 2010 improved to $323,000 compared to
a loss of $1.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2009.

Net loss for the first half of fiscal 2010 was $665,000 or $0.09
per basic and diluted common share, compared with a net loss of
$2.7 million or $0.49 per basic and diluted per common share for
the same period in fiscal 2009.  Weighted-average shares
outstanding increased to 7,739,087 in the first half of fiscal
2010 compared to 5,652,444 in the first half in fiscal 2009
primarily due to the issuance of shares of common stock related to
the private placement in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

                          Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $906,000 at December 31, 2009.
Total current assets and total assets at December 31, 2009, were
$3.9 million and $6.6 million compared to $3.3 million and
$5.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2009.  Total current
liabilities and total liabilities at December 31, 2009, were
$1.6 million and $3.8 million compared to $2.0 million and
$4.1 million, respectively, for June 30, 2009.  As a result, the
current ratio as of December 31, 2009, improved to 2.66 to 1
compared to 2.43 to 1 as of June 30, 2009.  Total stockholders'
equity at December 31, 2009, totaled $2.7 million compared to
$1.7 million at June 30, 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, backlog of orders scheduled to ship in
the next 12 months, was $4.0 million compared to $2.3 million as
of June 30, 2009.

quarter ended December 31, 2009, is available for free at:

                       Going Concern Doubt

"Because of the current operating loss of $323,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 2009, as well as recurring operating
losses during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 of $2.5 million and
$5.5 million, respectively, and cash used in operations for the
six months ended December 31, 2009, of $479,000 as well as cash
used in operations during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 of
$1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our
continuation as a going concern is dependent on attaining
profitable operations through achieving revenue growth targets."

Esq., at Marshack Hays LLP, assists the Company in its

M/I HOMES: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at "B3"
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed all the ratings of M/I Homes,
Inc., including its corporate family rating of B3, its probability
of default rating of B3, its senior notes rating of Caa1, its
preferred stock rating of Caa3, and its speculative-grade
liquidity rating of SGL-3.  At the same time, the outlook was
revised to stable from negative.

The revision of the outlook to stable from negative acknowledges
M/I Homes' success in 2009 in generating positive cash flow,
building its unrestricted cash position relative to debt, and
remaining in compliance with its financial covenants.  In
addition, the company's improving financial performance in the
second half of 2009 suggests that it may return to profitability
in 2010, which could enable its key credit metrics to gradually
return to levels more consistent with a B-rated company.

The B3 corporate family rating reflects the weakness in many of
M/I homes' key credits metrics, including interest coverage and
return on assets.  Even if the company were to return to
profitability in the coming quarters, Moody's would expect these
metrics to remain weak for at least the remainder of 2010.  In
addition, several of its better-performing metrics in 2009,
including free cash flow to debt and funds from operations to
debt, are expected to weaken in 2010 as cash flow generation
(excluding the impact of tax refunds) may potentially erode and/or
turn negative as working capital needs increase, due to
reinvestment in inventory.

At the same time, the company's corporate family rating is
supported by its relatively modest adjusted debt to capitalization
ratio relative to its similarly-rated peers.  Whether or not M/I
Homes can improve this metric in 2010 and 2011 will be a key
ratings driver.  In addition, the rating acknowledges M/I Homes'
conservative and disciplined operating strategy, which has helped
the company stay relatively clear of significant off balance sheet
obligations and long land positions.

The SGL assessment takes into account internal and external
sources of liquidity, covenant compliance, and alternate sources
of liquidity.  M/I Homes' SGL-3 rating indicates an adequate
liquidity profile.  The company's positive cash flow generation,
growing cash balance, and current headroom under its financial
covenants are offset by the expectation of reduced cash flow in
2010, the uncertain impact of its revolver maturing in October of
2010, and the lack of any significant sources of alternate
liquidity.

These rating actions were taken:

* Corporate family rating affirmed at B3;

* Probability of default rating affirmed at B3;

* $200 million senior unsecured notes rating changed to Caa1
  (LGD4, 59%) from Caa1 (LGD4, 64%);

* $100 million preferred stock rating affirmed at Caa3 (LGD6,
  99%);

* Speculative grade liquidity rating affirmed at SGL-3;

* Outlook revised to stable from negative.

Moody's most recent announcement concerning the ratings for M/I
Homes was on March 5, 2009, when all of the ratings of M/I Homes
were lowered, including the company's corporate family rating to
B3 from B2, senior unsecured notes rating to Caa1 from B3, and
preferred stock to Caa3 from Caa2.

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio and begun in 1976, M/I Homes,
Inc., sells homes under the trade names M/I Homes and Showcase
Homes, with homebuilding operations located in Columbus and
Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois; Tampa
and Orlando, Florida; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; and
the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.
Homebuilding revenues and consolidated net income for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2009 were approximately $556 million and
($62) million, respectively.

                            *     *     *

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.


MCCLATCHY COMPANY: Discloses Pricing of $875MM of 2017 Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
The McClatchy Company has priced its offering of $875 million
aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due
2017 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United
States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the
Securities Act.  The offering is expected to close on February 11,
2010, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The notes will have an issue price to the public of 98.824% and
will be senior obligations of McClatchy and will be guaranteed by
each of McClatchy's subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under
McClatchy's credit agreement.  The notes and guarantees will be
secured by a first-priority lien on certain of McClatchy's and the
subsidiary guarantors' assets, and will rank pari passu with liens
granted under McClatchy's credit agreement.  Interest will be
payable semi-annually at a rate of 11.50% per annum on February 15
and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2010.

McClatchy intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay
approximately $623 million under its credit agreement and to fund
its cash tender offer for any and all of the approximately $166
million aggregate principal amount of its 7.125% Notes due June 1,
2011 and approximately $24 million aggregate principal amount of
its 15.75% Senior Notes due 2014.

This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy any of the foregoing notes, nor
shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale in any state or
jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such
registration requirements.

Together with its newspapers and direct marketing products, these
interactive operations make McClatchy the leading local media

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.

MESA AIR: Gets Approval to Limit Trading to Protect NOLs
--------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Sections 105, 362, and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Rule 3001 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Mesa Air
Group Inc. and its units obtained the Court's authority to
establish a notice and hearing procedure, which must be satisfied
before certain transfers of claims against, and equity securities
in, the Debtors, or any beneficial interest, are deemed effective.

The Debtors' net operating loss carryforwards are valuable assets
of their estates, which will inure to the benefit of their
stakeholders, facilitate their reorganization, and, as property
of the estate, are protected by the automatic stay, Maria A.
Bove, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in New York,
tells the Court.  Unfettered trading in claims and equity
securities in the Debtors, with no advance warning of those
trades, jeopardizes these assets and, thus, a source of value to
the Debtors' stakeholders, she adds.

Moreover, unfettered trading may potentially lead to the
triggering of "change in control" termination provisions in the
Debtors' code-share agreements, unnecessarily putting at risk
these critical agreements that the Debtors seek to assume, Ms.
Bove says.

The Debtors estimate that as of December 31, 2009, they had a
consolidated NOL carryforward of approximately $89,503,317.  In
addition, the Debtors anticipate generating additional NOLs
during 2010.

Based on current projections, the Debtors expect to use a
substantial portion of their NOL carryforwards to offset future
income and dramatically reduce their federal income tax
liability, subject to certain limitations, Ms. Bove relates.

For purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, an
ownership change occurs when the percentage of a loss company's
equity (measured by value) owned by one or more 5% shareholders
increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest
percentage of stock owned by the shareholders at any time during
a three-year rolling testing period.  A Section 382 change of
ownership before confirmation of a plan would effectively
eliminate the Debtors' ability to use their NOL carryforwards and
certain other tax attributes, Ms. Bove notes.

It is possible that any potential plan of reorganization will
involve the issuance of common stock to creditors in
satisfaction, either in whole or in part, of the Debtors'
prepetition indebtedness.  In that event, the Debtors may seek to
avail themselves of the special relief afforded by Section 382
for changes in ownership under a confirmed Chapter 11 plan,
according to Ms. Bove.

There is a danger, however, that if the relief requested by the
Debtors is not granted, the Debtors could lose the substantial
benefits of their NOL carryforwards before their emergence from
Chapter 11 as a result of continued trading and accumulation of
claims by creditors in claims against, and by stockholders in
interests in, the Debtors, Ms. Bove says.

Accordingly, consistent with the automatic stay, the Debtors need
the ability to monitor and possibly object to changes in the
ownership of stock and claims to assure that (i) a 50% change of
ownership does not occur before the effective date of any Chapter
11 plan in these cases and (ii) for a change of ownership
occurring under a Chapter 11 plan, the Debtors have the
opportunity to avail themselves of the special relief provided by
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Debtors propose these Procedures that will protect and
preserve the valuable NOLs in excess of $89,000,000, as well as
protect the value of the code-share agreements.

              Procedures for Trading In Securities

Any person or entity who currently is or becomes a Substantial
Equity Holder -- any person or entity that beneficially owns at
least 7,008,689 shares of stock, representing approximately 4% of
all issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis --
will file with the Court and serve upon the Debtors and their
counsel, a notice of that status.

An equity acquisition notice will be filed with the Court and
serve on the Debtors and their counsel, describing the intended
transaction acquiring the Debtors' equity securities at least 30
calendar days before effectuating any transfer that would result
in an increase in the amount of securities owned by a Substantial
Equity Holder or that would result in a person or entity becoming
a Substantial Equity Holder.

An equity disposition notice will be filed with the Court and
serve on the Debtors and their counsel, describing the intended
transaction disposing of the Debtors' equity securities at least
30 calendar days before effectuating any transfer that would
result in a decrease in the amount of securities owned by a
Substantial Equity Holder or that would result in a person or
entity ceasing to be a Substantial Equity Holder.

The Debtors will have 30 calendar days after the actual receipt
of a Notice to file with the Court and serve on the entity filing
the Notice an objection to any proposed transfer of equity
securities on the grounds that the transfer may adversely affect
the Debtors' ability to utilize their NOLs or tax attributes as a
result of an ownership change under Section 382 or 383 of the
IRC, or the Debtors' rights or benefits under the Code-Share
Agreements.

If an Objection is filed, the proposed transaction will not be
effective unless approved by a final and non-appealable order of
the Court.

The proposed transaction may proceed solely as set forth in the
Notice if no Objection is filed or if the Debtors provide written
authorization approving the proposed transaction.  Further
transactions must be the subject of additional notices, with an
additional 30-day waiting period.

                Procedures for Trading In Claims

A substantial claimholder is any person or entity that
beneficially owns (i) an aggregate principal amount of claims
against the Debtors or any controlled entity through which a
Substantial Claimholder owns an indirect interest in claims
against the Debtors, (ii) a lease or leases under which one or
more of the Debtors are lessees and pursuant to which payments
are or will become due, or (iii) any combination of both, in each
case, in an amount equal to or exceeding $25,000,000.

Any person or entity who currently is or becomes a Substantial
Claimholder will file with the Court and serve upon the Debtors
and their counsel, a notice of that status.

A claims acquisition notice describing the intended transaction
against the Debtors will be filed at least 30 calendar days
before effectuating any transfer of claims that would result in
an increase in the amount of aggregate principal claims
beneficially owned by a Substantial Claimholder or would result
in a person or entity becoming a Substantial Claimholder.

A claims disposition notice describing the intended disposition
of claims against the Debtors will be filed at least 30 calendar
days before effectuating any transfer of claims that would result
in the amount of aggregate principal claims beneficially owned by
a Substantial Claimholder or would result in a person or entity
ceasing to be a Substantial Claimholder.

The Debtors will have 30 calendar days after receipt of a Notice
to file an objection to any proposed transfer of claims on the
grounds that any transfer may adversely affect the Debtors'
ability to utilize any of their NOLs or tax attributes after an
ownership change under Section 382 or 383 of the IRC.

If an Objection is filed, the proposed transaction will not be
effective unless approved by a final and non-appealable order of
the Court.

The proposed transaction may proceed solely as set forth in the
Notice if no Objection is filed or if the Debtors provide written
authorization to the entity filing the Notice approving the
proposed transaction.  Further transactions must be the subject
of additional notices, with an additional 30-day waiting period.

                           *     *     *

Among other things, effective as of the Petition Date, any
purchase, sale or other transfer of claims against or equity
securities in the Debtors in violation of the approved Procedures
will be null and void ab initio as an act in violation of the
automatic stay.

MESA AIR: Gets Final Nod to Keep Customer Programs
--------------------------------------------------
Mesa Air Group Inc. and its units obtained final approval from the
Bankruptcy Court to honor and continue their prepetition customer
programs.

Prior to the Petition Date and in the ordinary course of their
business, in relation to the go! Mokulele operations, the Debtors
offered and engaged in certain customer and other programs and
practices to develop and sustain a positive reputation in the
marketplace for this business, to engender customer loyalty, and
to enhance revenue.

The Debtors own 75% of a joint venture Mo-Go, LLC, to provide
Hawaii inter-island airline service under the go! and Mokulele
brand names.  Pursuant to a Services Agreement entered in October
2009 by Mesa Airlines, Inc., Mo-Go and Republic Airways Holdings,
Inc., Mesa operates all go! jet flights and provides related
services on behalf of the joint venture, including ticketing,
marketing, reservation, check-in, security, and customer
services.

More specifically, pursuant to the Mo-Go Services Agreement, the
Debtors remit to Mo-Go any adjusted collections (on a net basis)
from the go! operations, after deducting for certain operating
and business expenses (excluding the pro rata portion of certain
expenses which is the Debtors' responsibility under the joint
venture arrangement).  However, if the go! business operates at a
loss for the applicable period, the joint venture partners,
including the Debtors, are required to make up for the shortfall
on a pro rata basis up to certain limits.  In effect, because the
Debtors hold a 75% interest in the joint venture, they backstop
any go! operating losses.  Thus, Maria A. Bove, Esq., at
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in New York, asserts that the
Customer Programs directly impact the go! business, the strength
and competitiveness of which, in turn, impact (i) the
reimbursement and funding obligations of the Debtors pursuant to
the Mo-Go Services Agreement and joint venture arrangement and
(ii) the value of the Debtors' stake in Mo-Go.

The Customer Programs include, among others, advance ticket
sales, ticket refunds, a frequent flyer program, fee waivers,
barter arrangements, corporate and government incentive programs,
as well as arrangements with tour/vacation operators and sales
outlet services.  The Customer Programs ensure customer
satisfaction, generate goodwill, and address competitive
pressures so that the Debtors can retain current customers,
attract new customers and ultimately enhance net revenue, Ms.
Bove tells the Court.

Ms. Bove points out that Mo-Go is not a debtor in these chapter
11 proceedings; however, the Debtors think it is necessary to
continue to operate and implement the Customer Programs pursuant
to the service provider arrangement with Mo-Go.

Ms. Bove adds that the filing of the Chapter 11 cases is likely
to negatively affect customers' attitudes and behavior toward the
Debtors' services.  In particular, the Debtors' goodwill and
ongoing business relationships may erode if their customers
perceive that the Debtors are unable or unwilling to fulfill the
prepetition promises they have made through the Customer
Programs, she notes.  The same would be true if customers
perceived that the Debtors would no longer be offering the types
of services or quality of services they have come to expect and
upon which they likely relied when purchasing the Debtors'
services.  Further, the Debtors' competitors may increase their
efforts during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to lure away
go! customers and to create doubts as to the Debtors' ability to
emerge successfully from Chapter 11.

Accordingly, the Debtors sought from the Court authority (a)
perform and honor their prepetition obligations related to the
Customer Programs as they deem appropriate, and (b) continue,
renew, replace, implement new, and terminate, Customer Programs as
they deem appropriate and in the ordinary course of business,
without further application to the Court, including making all
payments, satisfying all obligations and permitting and effecting
all setoffs in connection therewith, whether relating to the
period prior or subsequent to the Petition Date.

MESA AIR: Gets Nod to Honor Prepetition Fuel Contracts
------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Sections 105(a), 362, 363(b), and 553 of the
Bankruptcy Code, Mesa Air Group Inc. and its units obtained final
approval from the Court to pay any prepetition outstanding
obligations and continue honoring, performing and exercising their
rights and obligations, whether pre- or postpetition, to (i)
certain prepaid fuel suppliers, (ii) certain other fuel suppliers,
(iii) certain pipeline and storage providers, (iv) under certain
fuel service arrangements, (v) the fuel consortia, and (vi)
certain into-plane service providers.

The Debtors require a ready supply of fuel for their continued
operations.  To do this, the Debtors should be authorized to
continue to perform on an uninterrupted basis under existing
domestic and international fuel purchase, distribution and
storage agreements and arrangements, Maria A. Bove, Esq., at
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in New York, relates.

Not only are these complex relationships essential to the
Debtors' integrated efforts to manage fuel supply and costs, but
any disruption in these relationships could leave the Debtors'
passengers, as well as their aircraft and employees, stranded.
Without fuel, the Debtors cannot fly, and this result would be
devastating to the Debtors' business, Ms. Bove asserts.

Nearly all of the Debtors' fuel-related costs are ultimately
reimbursed or otherwise borne by the Debtors' code-share
partners.  As a result, the impact of any payments for fuel-
related prepetition claims on other prepetition creditors in
these bankruptcy cases is necessarily small, Ms. Bove notes.

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Debt Trades at 41% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 58.68
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 1.76
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 275 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The loan matures April 8, 2012, and is not rated by
Moody's and Standard & Poor's.  The syndicated loan is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 180 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for the week
ended Friday.

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

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 30, 2009,
The New York Post, citing multiple sources, said discussions
between debtholders and equity owners on a restructuring of Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer's massive debt load have begun on a contentious
note, with both sides threatening to force MGM into bankruptcy in
order to gain leverage and extract better terms from the other.

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

MKTG INC: Receives Going Concern Audit Report for Fiscal 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------
'mktg, inc.' reported in accordance with Nasdaq's Listing Rules
that the audit report of its independent registered public
accounting firm included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 expresses
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
as a result of recurring losses suffered by the Company and its
working capital deficiency.

However, subsequent to the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Annual Report, the Company consummated a $5 million private
placement of its securities.  In addition, management has taken
substantial steps at the end of fiscal 2009 and thereafter to
reduce expenses, including reducing the Company's workforce by
approximately 60 full-time persons in the aggregate. These efforts
are expected to reduce compensation and general and administrative
expenses by approximately $8.6 million in the aggregate on an
annual basis, and by $6.2 million in fiscal 2010.  As a result of
the financing and these actions, management believes the Company
has sufficient cash on hand, together with cash anticipated to be
generated from operations, to fund its capital requirements for
the foreseeable future.

MONEY4GOLD HOLDINGS: Incurs $1.9 Million Net Loss in Q3 2009
------------------------------------------------------------
Money4Gold Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries reported a net loss of
$1,915,121 on revenueue of $6,862,012 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $734,292 on revenue
of $735,024 for the same period of 2008.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had a
net loss of $4,958,670 on revenue of $9,311,589, compared to a net
loss of $1,023,516 on revenue of $735,012 for the period from
February 4, 2008 (inception) to September 30, 2008.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed total assets of $12,367,891, total current liabilities of
$4,188,088, and total stockholders' equity of $12,367,891.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,750,504 at
September 30, 2009.  In comparison, the Company had positive
working capital of $446,043 at December 31, 2008.

                 Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, operating
activities used net cash of $1,973,336, primarily as a result of
the net loss of $4,958,670, partially offset by $1,698,636 of net
non-cash charges including, but not limited to, a loss on the
settlement of debt of $550,175, stock-based compensation of
$498,626, depreciation and amortization of $290,867, and a penalty
charge pertaining to the February 2009 private placement of
$218,400.  Also partially offsetting the net loss was the net
change in the Company's operating assets and liabilities of
$1,286,698.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, investing
activities used net cash of $16,486, primarily to purchase fixed
assets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, financing
activities generated net cash of $1,667,642, primarily as a result
of the sale of common stock, the sale of Series B Preferred stock
and proceeds from a number of debt transactions including the
Company's media line of credit, and the Company's convertible note
payable, partially offset by principal payments to lower the
outstanding balances on the Company's media line of credit and
Notes Payable - Other.

Historically, the Company has required cash from sources other
than operations to fully fund its advertising and marketing
efforts as well as to fund the balance of its operations, such as
general and administrative costs.  These sources of cash have
included the sale of equity securities as well as debt and other
financing transactions.  Recently however, operations have
achieved a critical volume level that allows the Company to
continue to invest, in a carefully controlled manner, in
advertising and marketing while also providing the necessary cash
to fund the balance of its operations.  Revenues for the third
quarter of 2009 increased dramatically over the second quarter of
2009 and the Company had cash on hand of $575,877 at November 6,
2009.  In addition to the cash on hand however, the Company
expects to receive cash over the next ten weeks from
advertisements for which cash has already been expended.  Also,
the Company has paid off its Convertible Note Payable and its
Notes Payable - Other in October 2009.

The Company believes that its cash on hand, combined with the cash
expected to be received from advertisements that have already run,
will allow it to continue to invest in advertising campaigns and
to fund its  operations.  In addition, the Company is currently
investigating the possibility of raising additional funds through
the issuance of debt and/or equity securities.

                          Going Concern

The Company incurred a net loss of $4,958,670 and used $1,973,336
cash to fund operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2009.  In addition, at September 30, 2009, the Company had a
working capital deficit of $1,750,504 and an accumulated deficit
of $8,175,614.

The Company's ability to continue operations and the
recoverability of asset amounts including goodwill, intangible
assets, prepaid assets, accounts receivable and other assets is
dependent upon the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern and to achieve a level of profitability and positive cash
flows.

The Company believes that the higher level of revenue attained
during the three months ended September 30, 2009, is a result of
the successful implementation of the first stages of its business
plan and that continued implementation will generate profitability
and positive cash flows in the future.  In addition, the Company
is currently attempting to raise additional funds through the
issuance of debt and/or equity securities.  However, there can be
no assurance that the plans and actions proposed by management
will be successful or that unforeseen circumstances will not
require the Company to seek additional funding sources in the
future.  In addition, there can be no assurance that its efforts
to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or
equity securities will be successful and that in the event
additional sources of funds are needed to continue operations,
that they will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

MOODY NATIONAL: RLJ Asks Court for Dismissal of Bankruptcy Case
---------------------------------------------------------------
RLJ III - Finance Atlanta, LLC -- which claims to be the sole
creditor of Moody National RI Atlanta H, LLC -- has asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to dismiss the
Debtor's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.

RLJ says that the Debtor filed for bankruptcy protection in bad
faith.  "The Debtor's sole asset is a de minimis 0.46873% tenant
in common interest in certain real property and a hotel and other
improvements located thereon in Atlanta, Georgia, which is leased
to and operated by third parties.  Further, the Debtor is a mere
holding company and has no employees, no current cash flow and no
creditors other than RLJ.  The remaining 99.53127% tenant in
common interests in the applicable real property are held in
varying percentages by approximately 27 or 28 separate non-debtor
entities (the Additional Owners) who have elected not to
participate in this bankruptcy case," RLJ states.

According to RLJ, the Debtor may have no unsecured creditors.  RLJ
states that it is the Debtor's largest, and, possible, sole
creditor.

The Debtor is jointly and severally liable with the Additional
Owners for a pre-petition secured loan owed to RLJ.  The current
outstanding principal balance of the loan is $10,911,622.37, plus
interest, costs, and fees and they continue to accrue, says RLJ.
The loan has been in default since March 2009, and the balance due
thereunder was accelerated by RLJ on December 7, 2009.  RLJ
instituted non-judicial foreclosure proceedings and the
foreclosure sale was initially set for January 5, 2010.  On
December 30, 2009, the Debtor and the Additional Owners filed a
complaint against RLJ in the Superior Court of Fulton County,
Georgia, and a motion for a Temporary Restraining Order seeking to
stop foreclosure.  RLJ removed the action to the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia on December 31, 2009,
and on that same date, the District Court entered an order staying
the foreclosure until it could hear the matter more thoroughly on
January 7, 2010.  The District Court permitted RLJ to re-run its
foreclosure ad for a foreclosure sale on February 2, 2010.  The
District Court then denied the TRO motion on January 14, 2010.

RLJ states that the Debtor, despite knowing for two weeks that its
TRO motion had been denied and that it would have to file for
bankruptcy if it wished to try to stop RLJ's foreclosure sale,
waited until the last minute to file a bankruptcy petition.

According to RLJ, the Debtor can"t reorganize because it can"t act
on behalf of its Additional Owners and co-obligors on the loan
from RLJ and can"t control third-party decision with respect to
the loan from RLJ.  "Any alleged cure by the Debtor does not
resolve or otherwise affect the overall defaults and obligations
owed by the other non-debtor Additional Owners of the 99.53127%
interest.  Similarly, the Debtor does not and cannot control over
99% of the proceeds generated by the real property," RLJ says.

RLJ states that the Debtor's lack of any assets, business
operations, and current cash flow rendered this case
administratively insolvent from the moment it was filed.  RLJ
seeks that the Court dismiss the case with prejudice against the
Debtor re-filing for 180 days.

RLJ is represented by Greenberg Traurig, LLP.

Houston, Texas-based Moody National RI Atlanta H, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 29, 2010 (Bankr. S.D.
Texas Case No. 10-30752).  Henry J. Kaim, Esq., at King & Spalding
LLP, assist the Company 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.


MOODY NATIONAL: Asks for Court's Permission to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody National RI Atlanta H, LLC, seeks authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to use the
cash collateral securing their obligation to their prepetition
lenders.

On August 31, 2007, the Debtor and Moody National RI Atlanta S,
LLC, acquired a property at the center of this Chapter 11 case is
a Residence Inn by Marriot located at 1041 W. Peachtree Street,
Atlanta, Georgia, as tenants in common.  To fund this acquisition,
the Debtor and Atlanta S obtained a non-recourse loan from
Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corporation in the principal
amount of $10,932,000 (the Loan).  The Loan is secured by a deed
of trust on the Property, an assignment of leases and rents, and
the fixtures at the Property.  The Loan was then transferred to
Citicorp North America, Inc.

On November 3, 2009, just weeks after the Debtor had satisfied
Citicorp's prerequisites to negotiating a restructure of the Loan,
Citicorp sold the Loan to RLJ III-Finance Atlanta LLC without any
prior notice to the Debtor or the TICs.  RLJ is not a bank or a
debt-markets investor.

The Debtor has not attempted to identify the extent, priority and
validity of RLJ's interest in the Cash Collateral.  The Debtor
moves the Court to enter an order authorizing the Debtor to use
Cash Collateral, while reserving the right of the Debtor to object
to the extent, priority, and validity of any alleged interests in
this estate, including, without limitation, the Cash Collateral.

Henry J. Kaim, Esq., King & Spalding LLP, the attorney for the
Debtor, explains that the Debtors need the money to fund its
Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties.

Mr. Kaim says that RLJ is adequately protected by the Debtor's
offer to commence making all required monthly payments on the
Loan, beginning with the payment for February.  "This immediate
commencement of payments protects RLJ's interest in the collateral
and exceeds the minimum requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Code
section 362(d)(3) for single asset real estate cases, which only
requires such payments to commence within 90 days from entry of
the order for relief," Mr. Kaim states.

According to Mr. Kaim, RLJ is additionally adequately protected by
the terms of the Debtor's forthcoming Plan of Reorganization,
which will provide for the payment all past-due amounts under the
Loan and reinstate the note.  The Plan will completely satisfy
RLJ's claim and provide for continued future payments of the Loan
through reinstatement.

MORTGAGE GUARANTY: Moody's Cuts Insurance Strength Rating to "Ba3"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba3 from Ba2 the
insurance financial strength ratings of Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Corporation and MGIC Indemnity Corporation.  This rating
action reflects continued deterioration in MGIC's capital position
caused by prolonged weakness in the performance of its insurance
portfolio, and more clarity about the group's contemplated
restructuring.  This action concludes the review of MGIC for
possible downgrade and the review of MGIC Indemnity for possible
upgrade which was initiated on July 17, 2009.  Moody's also
downgraded the senior debt ratings of the holding company, MGIC
Investment Corp, to Caa1 from B3.  The outlook for the ratings is
negative.

According to Moody's, the rating action reflects higher expected
losses in MGIC's insured portfolio as a result of higher than
anticipated delinquencies.  Current observations, however, suggest
that the MI's new delinquencies may be peaking, thereby limiting
the extent of the deterioration.  Moody's has estimated MGIC's
future losses using a loss curve approach derived from the
mortgage insurance industry's experience in prior regional
stresses, giving credit for loss mitigations such as captive
reinsurance, policy rescissions, and loan modifications.  Under
current Moody's estimates, MGIC's total claim paying resources
(including an estimate of the present value of premiums) cover
approximately 1.2 times future expected claims (present valued) of
about $11.3 billion, consistent with a below investment grade
rating.  Uncertainty remains, however, about ultimate losses,
especially given the challenging economic environment.  There
continues to be little visibility about when MGIC will return to
profitability.

The rating agency added that the benefit of more profitable new
business has been subdued as production volumes were lower than
anticipated; MGIC recently indicated that it has discontinued its
relationship with a large originator as a result of a dispute over
rescissions.  Tightened underwriting guidelines and efforts to
preserve capital continue to restrain MGIC's participation in the
more lucrative but shrinking market.  The firm is also exposed to
the uncertain dynamics of the mortgage industry as the US
government evaluates possible substantial changes to Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac.  Mortgage insurers have strongly benefited from
the GSEs' requirement, under their federal charter, to use credit
enhancement on mortgages with loan-to-value in excess of 80%.  Any
meaningful change to the GSEs could have material consequences for
the mortgage insurers.

MGIC Indemnity Corporation and Mortgage Guaranty Insurance
Corporation, are rated at the same level, reflecting a far more
muted effect on MGIC Indemnity's relative credit profile resulting
from the announced 4Q2009 revisions to the restructuring plan.
The current plan no longer suggests that MGIC Indemnity will be
materially capitalized to write the more profitable new insurance
policies.  Instead MGIC Indemnity's initial capital contribution
was $200 million and the firm will write business only in those
states where MGIC cannot due to restrictive regulatory capital
requirements.  Moody's notes that approval of Freddie Mac is still
pending and the terms of the restructuring could change further.

The Caa1 rating of MGIC Investment Corp. reflects Moody's standard
notching between non-investment grade operating companies and
holding companies.  The Caa1 rating also reflects the holding
company has modest liquidity position and substantial near term
refinancing risk related to the debt coming due in 2011.  The Ca
rating of the junior subordinated hybrid instrument considers
structural subordination and the increase in potential loss
severity resulting from triggering of the securities' optional
deferral feature.

                     List of Rating Actions

These ratings have been downgraded, with a negative outlook:

* MGIC Investment Corporation -- senior unsecured debt to Caa1
  from B3, junior subordinated debt to Ca from Caa2, and the
  provisional rating on senior unsecured debt to (P)Caa1 from
  (P)B3;

* Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corp -- insurance financial strength
  to Ba3 from Ba2; and

* MGIC Indemnity Corporation -- insurance financial strength to
  Ba3 from Ba2.

The last rating action on Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation
occurred on July 17, 2009, when the MGIC's ratings were placed on
review for possible downgrade.

MGIC Investment Corporation, headquartered in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, is the holding company for Mortgage Guaranty Insurance
Company, one of the largest US mortgage insurers with $212 billion
of primary insurance in force at December 31, 2009.


MOVIE GALLERY: Gets Court Approval of First Day Motions
-------------------------------------------------------
Movie Gallery, Inc., has received interim court approval to
utilize its cash on hand to maintain ongoing operations pending a
final hearing.  The approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for

Movie Gallery can continue to pay employee wages, salaries and
benefits; continue to honor customer programs, including
memberships, gift cards and store credits; and pay vendors for
goods and services which the company purchases after the Chapter
11 filing.

In addition, Movie Gallery received court approval to retain DJM

of the company's current leases in order to help improve the
profitability of the store base going forward.  Movie Gallery
encourages landlords to respond immediately to the lease
restructuring requests by contacting DJM Realty at:

voluntary filing for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.

Canadian operations, which will continue business as normal.

Movie Gallery is using this proven, court-supervised process to

operations.  Movie Gallery believes it can continue to play a
productive role in connecting consumers with the best and most
personalized entertainment and intends to emerge from this process
with a new and sustainable business model.

NEENAH ENTERPRISES: Ch. 11 Filing Cues Moody's Rating Cut to "D"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Neenah Foundry Company's
probability of default rating to D from Caa3.  The downgrade
follows the February 3, 2010 announcement that Neenah Enterprises,
Inc. and its subsidiary, Neenah Foundry Company, have filed
voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware.

Subsequent to the actions, all ratings will be withdrawn.  Moody's
has withdrawn this rating because the issuer has entered
bankruptcy.

These ratings were affected:

* Probability of Default Rating lowered to D from Caa3

These ratings will be withdrawn:

* Probability of Default Rating of D
* Corporate Family Rating of Ca
* $225 million of senior secured notes due 2017 of Ca (LGD 5; 72%)
* Negative Outlook

The last rating action was on July 14, 2009, when the probability
of default rating was changed to Caa3/LD.

Neenah, headquartered in Neenah, Wisconsin, manufactures and
markets a wide range of metal castings and forgings for the heavy
municipal market plus a wide range of complex industrial castings,
with concentrations in the medium- and heavy-duty truck and HVAC

NORTEL NETWORK: Court to Hold March 3 Hearing on CVAS Biz Sale
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware is set to
hold a hearing on March 3, 2010, to consider approval of the sale
of the Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions (CVAS) business of
Nortel Networks Inc. and its affiliates.

The Court earlier approved a bidding process to govern the sale
of the CVAS business.  The Bidding Procedures Order issued on
January 8, 2010, also approved the form of Nortel's asset sale
agreement with GENBAND Inc., including the proposed $13.6 million
in fees for GENBAND as the stalking horse bidder for the CVAS
Assets.  The fees represent break-up fees, expense reimbursement
and an incentive fee for GENBAND's shareholder, One Equity
Partners, who teamed with GENBAND to assist in financing the
purchase of the CVAS business.

GENBAND's $282 million offer will serve as the stalking horse bid
or the lead bid at the auction to be conducted on February 25,
2010 for the CVAS Assets.  Deadline for interested buyers to
submit their bids is February 23, 2010, subject to permitted
extensions.

             Debtors to Assume & Assign Contracts

In connection with the proposed sale of the CVAS business, NNI
and its affiliates notified the Court that they intend to assume
and assign certain contracts to GENBAND or to the winning bidder
at the auction.

The Nortel companies did not provide a list identifying the
contracts as of press time, but told the Court that they will
furnish each of the concerned party an individualized schedule of
those contracts.

The proposed assumption and assignment drew flak from Qwest
Services Corp., a party to a certain contract.  Qwest asserted
that there is a "gap in liability" under the contracts that will
be assumed and assigned.

"The Debtors will cure defaults existing as of the closing date.
Both the Debtors and the purchaser, however, would be relieved of
liability for obligations that accrue pre-closing but do not fall
due until post-closing," Qwest says in court papers.

NORTEL NETWORK: Gets Nod for $190.8MM Canadian Funding Agreement
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nortel Networks Inc. and its affiliated debtors obtained
approvals from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to enter into
an agreement that would authorize the payment of $190.8 million
to Canada-based Nortel Networks Ltd.

Referred to as the Final Canadian Funding and Settlement
Agreement, the Court-approved pact was hammered out to authorize
NNI to make the $190.8 million funding payment to fund NNL's
operations from October 1, 2009 through the conclusion of the
Canadian creditor protection proceedings or the completion of the
wind-down of NNL and its four Canadian affiliates.

The payment also serves as settlement of NNL's claims on account
of the services it provided to NNI and its affiliated debtors as
well as transition services to the buyers of Nortel's major
assets.

NNI also obtained a separate Bankruptcy Court order for authority
to redact or file under seal certain portions of the Canadian
Funding Agreement that contain sensitive financial information.

Prior to the entry of the Bankruptcy Court's and Canadian Court's
rulings, the administrators of Nortel's European units objected
to the approval of the Canadian Funding Agreement, saying it
would affect the claims and interests of those that are not part
of the Agreement.  To resolve the objection, the Bankruptcy Court
and the Canadian Court included in their orders additional
language proposed by the Objectors.  The additional provisions
state that the rights of Nortel's European units -- specifically
those that are not part of the Canadian Funding Agreement --
under contracts they entered into with any party to the Canadian
Funding Agreement will not be affected by the court orders or the
Canadian Funding Agreement.

          U.S. Court Okays Deal to Settle IRS Claim

In a related development, the Bankruptcy Court approved NNI's
agreement with the Internal Revenue Service that would resolve
the agency's $3 billion tax claim and authorize the parties'
entry into an advance pricing agreement.

The settlement deal, which is a condition of the Canadian Funding
Agreement, requires IRS to release all of its claims against NNI
and other members of the company's consolidated tax group for the
years 1998 through 2008 in exchange for a $37.5 million payment.
The Settlement also requires the IRS to withdraw its $3 billion
claim against NNI.

The IRS Advance Pricing Agreement requires NNI to adjust its
taxable income to reflect an increase of $2 billion ratably over
the course of five taxable years beginning on January 1, 2001 and
ending on December 31, 2005.

NNI's Canadian affiliates also sought and obtained permission
from the Canadian Court to execute an advance pricing agreement
with the Canadian Revenue Agency.  The CRA Pricing Agreement
provides for a negative adjustment to NNL's taxable income of
$2 billion for the period from January 1, 2001 to December 31,
2005.

Upon NNI's request, the Bankruptcy Court authorized NNI to file
under seal a copy of the IRS Pricing Agreement to protect certain
confidential information.

NORTEL NETWORK: Plan Exclusivity Extended Until July 13
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware extended
the time by which Nortel Networks Inc. and its affiliated debtors
have the exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan through
July 13, 2010, and the exclusive right to solicit votes for that
plan through September 13, 2010.

Andrew Remming, Esq., at Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, says NNI and its affiliates intend to use
the next five months to continue to operate their business;
further review claims and contracts for assumption or rejection;
and coordinate with concerned groups in furtherance of the
restructuring and the development of a reorganization plan.

"With the sale transactions either complete or well underway, the
focus will now shift to proceeds allocation and the realization
of value from Nortel's intellectual property portfolio," Mr.
Remming says, referring to the series of sales of the Debtors'
major assets in the past few months.  "These efforts will occupy
the next several months, at a minimum."

The sale transactions include the $1.2 billion acquisition by
Sweden-based Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson of Nortel's Code
Division Multiple Access or CDMA business and Long Term Evolution
or LTE assets and Global System for Mobile or GSM business; the
$900 million purchase by Avaya Inc. of the Nortel's Enterprise
Solutions business; the $10 million purchase by Hitachi Ltd. of
the Next Generation Packet Core Network Components business; and
the $530 million acquisition by Ciena Corporation of the Nortel's
Metro Ethernet Networks business.

The sale of the GSM and Metro Ethernet Networks businesses is
expected to close in the first quarter of 2010, while the other
transactions were completed sometime in November and December
2009.

Mr. Remming adds that NNI and its affiliates recently sought
Court approval to sell their Carrier VoIP and Application
Solutions or CVAS business to GENBAND Inc. or any potential
buyer.  A bidding process for the sale of the business has been
approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the Ontario Superior Court
of Justice.  An auction is scheduled for February 25, 2010.

"In light of the accomplishments of [NNI and its affiliated
debtors] thus far in these Chapter 11 cases as well as the
extraordinary complexity and breadth of Nortel's global business,
further extension is warranted," Mr. Remming emphasizes.

NOVELIS INC: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off in Secondary Market
-----------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Novelis, Inc., is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 95.06 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5, 2010, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.50 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan
matures on July 6, 2014.  The Company pays 200 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt is not rated by
Moody's while it carries Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The
syndicated loan is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 180
widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

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

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

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

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

PHILADELPHIA NEWSPAPERS: Takes Rule 2019 Dispute to 3rd Circuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Stephen Raslavich, Chief United States Bankruptcy Judge of the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania denied a bid by Philadelphia Newspapers L.L.C. to
force members of the Steering Group of Prepetition Lenders to
disclose the value and amount of the debt each owns pursuant to
Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

The Steering Group has opposed the Debtors' request, arguing that
it does not fall within the ambit of those subject to the rule,
and hence that it need not disclose any information beyond that
which has already been disclosed.

According to Judge Raslavich, while cogent arguments can be made
for why the rule should be expanded to include ad hoc committees
and, equally, for why it should not be, the language of the Rule
in its current iteration does not compel the disclosures sought.

The Debtors are taking an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court's
ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

The Debtors are parties to a Credit and Guaranty Agreement,
originally dated June 29, 2006, as amended, with Citizens Bank and
a number of other lender parties.  There is roughly $300 million
owed under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, which consisted of a
term loan in the original principal amount of $295 million and a
senior revolving credit facility in the original stated amount of
$50 million.  Citizens is the administrative agent and collateral
agent for the collectivity of all of the lender parties.

The Steering Group first appeared in the Debtors' cases on
February 24, 2009.  At that time counsel for the "Group," Akin
Gump Strauss Haver & Feld LLP, identified the Group as being the
Steering "Committee" of secured lenders.  On April 15, 2009, Akin
Gump filed the first of three verified statements regarding
multiple representations under Rule 2019(a).  Akin Gump recited
that the lenders which comprised its client were: certain funds
and/or accounts managed or advised by the following entities: (i)
Angelo Gordon & Co., L.P., (ii) CIT Syndicated Loan Group, (iii)
Eaton Vance Management, (iv) McDonnell Investment Management LLC,
(v) General Electric Capital Corporation and (vi) Wells Fargo
Foothill.

Amendments to the Rule 2019(a) statement were filed on May 27,
2009 and again on December 3, 2009.  The May filing added Credit
Suisse Candlewood Special Situations Master Fund LTD as a member
of the Steering Group and deleted McDonnell Investment Management
LLC.  The December filing added Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC as
a group member, re-added McDonnell Investment Management LLC, and
deleted Wells Fargo.

The Court noted that the Debtors have chided Akin Gump for a name
change "which they obviously view as a tactical ploy." According
to Judge Raslavich, "the Court, for its part, views this entire
aspect of the controversy to be a distraction and of no moment."

According to Andrew Maykuth and Christopher K. Hepp at
Philadelphia Inquirer, Judge Raslavich's ruling is a setback for
the Debtors, which contended that the information was important in
determining the true value of its $318 million secured debt and a
fair price to settle it.

Philadelphia Inquirer relates that a year ago, when the Debtors
filed for bankruptcy, a lawyer for the senior lenders said the
debt was trading for about 20 cents on the dollar, meaning the
current debt of $318 million would be worth about $64 million.

Philadelphia Inquirer notes the Debtors' bankruptcy exit plan
calls for paying senior lenders about $67 million in cash and
property to settle that debt.  To assure the creditors that the
offer is fair, the Debtors are holding the auction later this
year.  According to Philadelphia Inquirer, Lawrence G. McMichael,
Esq., at Dilworth Paxson LLP, Philadelphia, counsel to the
Debtors, said 36 potential bidders had signed nondisclosure
agreements allowing them to review the company's financial
records.

Philadelphia Inquirer relates the senior lenders have said they
would like to bid at the auction.

According to Philadelphia Inquirer, key to the lenders' hopes of
buying the company is the right to use the debt they are owed to
bid at the auction, which the company opposes on grounds that it
would scare away potential bidders willing to put new cash into
the business.  The Third Circuit Court of Appeals is considering
the lenders' request to credit bid, Philadelphia Inquirer says.

Company.  The rating action reflects continued deterioration in
the capital position of the firm caused by prolonged weakness in
the performance of its insured portfolio.  The rating outlook is
negative.

According to Moody's, the rating action reflects higher expected
losses in RMIC's insured portfolio as a result of higher than
anticipated delinquencies.  Current observations, however, suggest
that the MI's new delinquencies may be plateauing, thereby
limiting the extent of the deterioration.  Moody's has estimated
RMIC's future losses using a loss curve approach derived from the
mortgage insurance industry's experience in prior regional
stresses, giving credit for loss mitigations such as captive
reinsurance, policy rescissions, and loan modifications.  Under
current Moody's estimates, RMIC's total claim paying resources
cover approximately 1.2 time future expected claims (present
valued) of about $4.1 billion, consistent with a rating below
investment grade.  Uncertainty remains, however, about ultimate
losses, especially given the challenging economic environment.

The rating agency said that RMIC's Ba1 rating reflects some
implicit continued support from its parent.  Old Republic
contributed approximately $150 million of capital to its mortgage
insurance subsidiary during the course of 2009, maintaining the
mortgage insurer's ability to write new business.  Without Old
Republic's ownership, RMIC's rating would be lower.

RMIC has reported quarterly net losses since the third quarter of
2007 and Moody's does not expect this trend to reverse in the near
term.

Moody's added that RMIC is relatively well positioned to take
advantage of current market conditions given its strong parent,
tight underwriting standards and improved premium rates.  RMIC's
net premiums earned were $562 million (net of a $82.5 million
captive restructuring) for 2009, down from $592 million in 2008.
The firm is, however, exposed to the uncertain dynamics of the
mortgage industry as the US government evaluates possible
substantial changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Mortgage
insurers have strongly benefited from the GSEs' requirement, under
their federal charter, to use credit enhancement on mortgages with
loan-to-value in excess of 80%.  Any meaningful change to the GSEs
could have material consequences for the mortgage insurers.

This rating has been downgraded, with a negative outlook:

* Republic Mortgage Insurance Company -- insurance financial
  strength to Ba1, from Baa2.

The last rating action related to RMIC occurred on February 13,
2009, when Moody's downgraded the company's the insurance
financial strength rating to Baa2, from A1.

RMIC writes mortgage insurance in the United States, and is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of publicly traded Old Republic
International Corporation.  Old Republic, headquartered in
Chicago, Illinois, is a multi-line insurance holding company whose
subsidiaries are engaged in property and casualty insurance,
mortgage guaranty, and title insurance.


RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Moody's Maintains 'C' Rating
-------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said it is maintaining Residential
Capital (ResCap)'s senior secured, junior secured, and senior
unsecured bond ratings at C. The outlook for all ratings is
stable. In a separate action, Moody's upgraded ResCap's parent
GMAC Inc.'s (GMAC) senior debt to B3 from Ca.

The C rating reflects ResCap's standalone credit profile and
uncertainty regarding long term support from GMAC. Although
Moody's believes GMAC is likely to provide ResCap with sufficient
liquidity support to service its 2010 obligations, GMAC's long-
term support and ownership of ResCap is more questionable due to
the lack of strategic fit between the companies.

From a standalone perspective, ResCap has required support from
GMAC to continue as a going concern for some time. ResCap will
likely require support from GMAC to service its 2010 debt
maturities, and may require additional capital support as well.
Although the company's recent action to write-down a substantial
amount of its mortgage portfolio reduces the risk of further
charges related to these assets, there could be further
deterioration, especially if the US economy follows a worse than
expected path.

Additionally, ResCap is exposed to the risk of liability for loans
sold with recourse and contingent commitment to fund draws on home
equity lines of credit in off-balance sheet securitizations. Each
of these issues could be a drain on capital and liquidity. Should
parental support be discontinued Moody's believes ResCap would
eventually default on its obligations. Should ResCap default and
be liquidated, Moody's believes the recovery for bondholders could
be low (less than 50%), which is consistent with a C rating.
"ResCap has recorded thirteen consecutive quarterly losses, its
liquidity position is tenuous, capital insufficient and franchise
impaired," said Moody's Vice President and Senior Credit Officer
Craig Emrick.

In regards to support, Moody's acknowledges that GMAC's ability to
support ResCap has increased through GMAC's receipt of multiple
capital injections from the US Treasury, the latest occurring in
December 2009.

Additionally, GMAC has shown a willingness to support ResCap.
GMAC's $2.7 billion capital injection into ResCap in December 2009
was the latest in a long series of actions taken to provide
capital and liquidity support.

Moody's does believe it is likely GMAC will provide ResCap with
sufficient liquidity support to service its 2010 obligations.
However, GMAC's long-term support and ownership of ResCap is more
questionable due to the lack of strategic fit between the
companies.

ResCap's senior and junior secured notes have a second and third
lien claim behind the GMAC senior secured credit facility on
certain assets of ResCap.  However, these secured notes are rated
the same as ResCap's unsecured debt because Moody's does not
believe these notes are likely to experience a significantly
enhanced recovery due to the small amount and low quality of
eligible collateral.

The last rating action on ResCap was November 20, 2008 when
Moody's downgraded the company's senior secured, junior secured,
and unsecured senior debt to C from Ca.

SL GREEN: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Rating at "BB+"
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Issuer Default Rating of SL Green
Realty Corp. and its subsidiaries SL Green Operating Partnership,
L.P., and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P.:

SL Green Realty Corp.

  -- IDR at "BB+";
  -- Perpetual preferred stock at "BB-".

SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.

  -- IDR at "BB+";
  -- Revolving credit facility at "BB+";
  -- Convertible unsecured notes at "BB+".

Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P.

  -- IDR at "BB+";
  -- Senior unsecured notes at "BB+"
  -- Convertible unsecured notes at "BB+".

In addition, Fitch has assigned a "BB-" rating to SL Green
Operating Partnership, L.P.'s junior subordinated notes.

The Rating Outlook for the IDRs is revised to Stable from
Negative.

The rating affirmations and Outlook revision reflect Fitch's
expectation that SLG's consolidated leverage and coverage metrics
will remain largely unchanged relative to current levels despite
soft property fundamentals, as signs of positive absorption and
office-using employment show further signs of stability.

The affirmations also reflect SLG's solid liquidity position, and
the consistent performance of SLG's portfolio of office assets as
evidenced by 93.4% occupancy as of Dec. 31, 2009, which, while
down from 95.2% as of Dec. 31, 2008, remains strong relative to
SLG's markets.  In addition, the company reported year-over-year
2009 same-store net operating income growth of 3.7%, demonstrating
SLG's ability to manage its portfolio through the current
downturn.

The ratings also reflect the company's consistent leverage,
measured as net debt to recurring operating EBITDA, of 8.3 times
and 8.2x for 2009 and 2008, respectively, and fixed-charge
coverage ratio (defined as recurring operating EBITDA less capital
expenditures and straight-line rents, divided by interest incurred
and preferred stock distributions) of 1.7x for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2009, up from 1.5x for Dec. 31, 2008.  Each of these
metrics is appropriate for the rating category.

Fitch's projected fixed charge coverage on a risk-adjusted
earnings basis under Fitch's base case scenario is 1.6x and 1.5x
for 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Fitch notes that SLG maintains a liquidity surplus, with sources
of liquidity (cash, availability under SLG's unsecured revolving
credit facility and expected retained cash flows from operating
activities) covering uses of liquidity (debt payments and expected
development and recurring capital expenditures) by 1.2x for the
period Jan.  1, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2011.  This liquidity surplus is
driven by over $460 million of unrestricted cash on hand,
including $122.6 million in net proceeds from SLG's January 2010
perpetual preferred stock offering.  Additionally, Fitch notes
that SLG has accessed multiple forms of capital during challenging
market conditions over the past nine months.

The ratings also point to the strength of SLG's management team,
and its ability to maintain solid occupancy and liquidity
throughout the downturn.  In addition, the company's ratios under
its unsecured credit facilities' financial covenants do not hinder
the company's financial flexibility.

Fitch's concerns include SLG's potential future capital
requirements, including debt repayment and investment capital,
which could cause potential challenges in the event that capital
markets access becomes more difficult.  These challenges could
include the inability to refinance maturing mortgages at face
value.

Additional concerns include relatively weak office property
fundamentals in SLG's markets, which may negatively impact the
earnings power of the company's portfolio, as well as the
geographic concentration of SLG's portfolio of office properties
in Metro New York City and SLG's exposure to financial services
tenants -- which account for 41% of SLG's consolidated base rental
revenue as of Dec. 31, 2009.  While the company raised
approximately $532 million of common and preferred stock over the
past nine months, Fitch calculated SLG's risk-adjusted
capitalization ratio to be 0.9x as of Dec. 31, 2009.  This
indicates that SLG is moderately undercapitalized on a risk-
adjusted basis at a "BB" stress level.

While SLG's unsecured line of credit does not mature until 2012,
it is almost fully drawn, limiting the company's financial
flexibility.

Fitch's rating of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.'s junior
subordinated notes at "BB-" reflects Fitch's view that the notes
rank pari passu with SLG's perpetual preferred stock.

The two-notch difference between SLG's IDR and its perpetual
preferred stock rating is consistent with Fitch's criteria for
corporate entities with hybrid securities.  Based on Fitch's
criteria reports, "Rating Hybrid Securities' and "Equity Credit
for Hybrids and Other Capital Securities - Amended" both dated
Dec. 29, 2009, the company's cumulative preferred stock has loss
absorption elements that would likely result in poor recoveries in
the event of a corporate default.

Fitch's existing ratings and/or Outlook may improve if, on a
consolidated basis:

  -- Fixed charge coverage sustained above 2.0x for several
     consecutive quarters (coverage was 1.8x for the year ended
     Dec. 31, 2009);

  -- Total debt to annualized recurring operating EBITDA sustained
     below 7.5x (leverage was 8.3x as of Dec. 31, 2009);

  -- Unencumbered asset to unsecured debt coverage ratio sustained
     above 2.5x on a covenanted basis (this ratio was 2.1x as of
     Dec. 31, 2009);

  -- SLG sustained a liquidity surplus on a consolidated basis
     through 2012.

Conversely, Fitch's existing ratings and/or Outlook could come
under pressure if, on a consolidated basis:

  -- Fixed charge coverage fell to 1.5x or lower for several
     consecutive quarters;

  -- Leverage increased above 8.5x;

  -- Unencumbered asset to unsecured debt coverage ratio fell
     below 1.5x on a covenanted basis;

  -- SLG had a liquidity shortfall.

SL Green is a self-administered and self-managed real estate
investment trust that predominantly acquires, owns, repositions
and manages Manhattan and suburban office properties.  On a
consolidated basis as of Dec. 31, 2009, the company owned 29 New
York City office properties totaling approximately 23,211,200
square feet, and 31 suburban assets totaling 6,804,700 square
feet.  SL Green also held investment interests in eight retail
properties, three development properties, and two land interests.
SL Green had $10.5 billion in total book assets and $4.4 billion
in total shareholders' equity as of Dec. 31, 2009.

SONICBLUE INC: SB Claims Wins Substantial Contribution Award
------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that in a Chapter 11 case "riddled with
wrongdoing" by estate fiduciaries, SB Claims Holder, a claims
trader's successor was entitled to payment, as an administrative
expense, of $300,000 in fees and expenses incurred in challenging
a fee application filed by special litigation counsel -- on top of
a nearly $700,000 substantial contribution award previously
approved by the bankruptcy court.  The successor's involvement
substantially contributed in assuring the integrity of the
reorganization process as well as the progress of the case, the
bankruptcy court found.  The successor insisted that an
evidentiary hearing was necessary to address various issues
surrounding a particular settlement.  Counsel for the successor
brought its considerable experience and energy as a civil
litigation firm to bear in both trial preparation and the trial
itself, aiding in the development of legal theories and the
evidence.  After the close of evidence, the parties reached a
resolution whereby special litigation counsel relinquished its
rights to $750,000.00 in unpaid fees.  The successor's
participation also cast a bright light on the roles played in the
case by noteholders' counsel and another attorney, the court
observed.  In re SONICblue, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 5197856
(Bankr. N.D. Calif.) (Morgan, J.).

SONICblue Inc. is a consumer electronics company.  Prior to
January 2001, SONICblue's primary business was to supply graphics
and multimedia accelerator subsystems for personal computers.
SONICblue completed the acquisition of ReplayTV, Inc., a developer
of personal television technology, on August 1, 2001.  SONICblue
completed the acquisition of Sensory Science, a developer of
consumer electronics products, including dual deck videocassette
player/recorders and DVD players, on June 27, 2001.  Debtor
Diamond Multimedia Systems Inc. was an established PC original
equipment manufacturer and retail provider of communications and
home networking solutions, PC graphics and audio add-in boards and
digital audio players.

SONICblue Inc. and its debtor-affiliates filed for chapter 11
bankruptcy on March 21, 2003, before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of California (Lead Case No. 03-51775).  The
Debtors employed Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP formerly
Pillsbury Winthrop LLP as their bankruptcy counsel.  Houlihan
Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital served as their financial advisors.

Early into the case, the U.S. Trustee appointed an official
Creditors' committee in the case. On Oct. 4, 2007, the Bankruptcy
Court directed the U.S. Trustee to reconstitute the
Initial Creditors' Committee.

The Initial Creditors' Committee retained Levene, Neale, Bender,
Rankin & Brill LLP as bankruptcy counsel; and Alliant Partners, as
financial advisors.

On March 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court disqualified Pillsbury as
the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel and ordered the appointment of a
chapter 11 trustee for the Debtors.  On April 17, 2007, the Court
granted the U.S. Trustee's request to appoint Dennis J. Connolly,
Esq., as the Chapter 11 Trustee.

The U.S. Trustee appointed on October 23, 2007, a reconstituted
Creditors' Committee -- comprised of Korea Export Insurance
Corporation, Riverside Contracting LLC & Riverside Claims LLC,
Synnex K.K., TLI Holdings, Inc., Michelle Miller, and York Capital
Opportunity Fund.  York Capital Opportunity Fund was later
appointed Chair of the Reconstituted Creditors' Committee and
Synnex K.K. subsequently resigned as a member.

Grant T. Stein, Esq., at Alston & Bird LLP in Atlanta, Georgia;
and Cecily A. Dumas, Esq., at Friedman Dumas & Springwater LLP in
San Francisco, California, represent the Chapter 11 Trustee.
Grobstein Horwath serves as accountants to the Chapter 11 Trustee.
Aron M. Oliner, Esq., Mikel R. Bistrow, Esq., and Geoffrey A.
Heaton, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, in San Francisco, represent the
Reconstituted Creditors' Committee.

The Troubled Company Reporter on October 27, 2008, reported the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming SonicBlue's
liquidating plan.

Morris Stern.

St. Mary's Hospital, Passaic, N.J., filed for Chapter 11
protection on March 9, 2009 (Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 09-15619).

$70.8 million and debts of $128 million.


STATION CASINOS: Balks at Quinn Emanuel Fee Request
---------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that Station Casinos Inc. has filed a limited
objection to an interim fee application submitted by Quinn Emanuel
Urquhart Oliver & Hedges LLP, claiming that the bill contains
discrepancies and entries that appear to be unrelated to its
bankruptcy cases.

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

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

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

SUNSTATE EQUIPMENT: Moody's Upgrades Corp. Family Rating to "Caa1"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the corporate family and
probability of default rating of Sunstate Equipment Co., LLC, to
Caa1 from Caa2, upgraded the second lien note rating to Caa2 from
Caa3, and changed the rating outlook to stable from negative.  The
action follows a December 2009, $50 million convertible preferred
equity investment from a holding company that also has an interest
in a U.S. based construction equipment dealer and is an entity of
Sumitomo Corp. (A2/stable); all the cash from the preferred equity
issuance reduced revolver borrowing.

The corporate family and probability of default upgrade to Caa1
from Caa2 stems from two main views on the sector: 1) that non-
residential construction activity declines should continue through
2010 and abate in 2011, and 2) that the substantial declines in
used equipment prices, which impacted most of 2009, have likely
stabilized.  In 2009 the company basically eliminated capital
spending to maximize debt reduction potential, but internal cash
flow for debt reduction was limited due to the lower equipment
utilization level.  Furthermore, the decline in used equipment
prices had been pressuring the revolver's eligible borrowing base
calculation, causing availability to decline more rapidly than the
company could reduce the revolver's balance.  The preferred equity
issuance permitted a material revolver reduction.  Although the
fleet age should continue growing with lack of re-investment, the
revolver balance has now reached to a level that has improved its
refinancing prospect.  Sunstate's asset-based revolving credit
facility expires in August 2011 and its second lien notes mature
in April 2013.  The presence of a well-backed strategic investor
could bolster the refinancing prospect as well.  Despite the
probability of default upgrade, the rating still reflects high
leverage, unprofitability and exposure to a hard hit,
overdeveloped Southwestern U.S. region that could lag national
construction market recovery.

The outlook has been stabilized with the improved liquidity
profile.  The company's credit facility has financial ratio tests
that activate when availability declines below $25 million.  The
potential for test activation is now likely to remain in check,
which minimizes the potential for a covenant breach.  (The
foregoing statement assumes continued conservatism with respect to
operating expenses and capital spending.) The stable outlook
reflects a view that Sunstate's liquidity profile can probably now
withstand the further upcoming sector decline as low probability
exists for material revenue improvement over the next two years.

Ratings upgraded:

* Corporate family and probability of default to Caa1 from Caa2

* $108 million 10.5% second lien notes due April 2013, to Caa2,
  LGD 5, 77% from Caa3, LGD 5, 81%

Moody's last rating action on Sunstate occurred June 9, 2009, when
the probability of default rating was downgraded to Caa2 from
Caa1.

Sunstate Equipment Co. LLC, headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, is a
regional equipment supplier with 52 branches predominately in the
Southwestern U.S.

TELESAT CANADA: Bank Debt Trades at 2% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Telesat Canada is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 97.91 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5, 2010, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.41 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The loan
matures on June 6, 2014.  The Company pays 300 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt is not rated by
Moody's and Standard & Poor's.  The syndicated loan is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 180 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for the week
ended Friday.

Headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Telesat Canada is the
world's fourth largest provider of fixed satellite services and
one of three companies operating on a global basis.  The company
has a fleet of 12 in-orbit satellites comprised of ten owned and
operated satellites, one satellite with a prepaid lease, and one
satellite leased from DIRECTV, Inc.

Telesat carries "B2" long term corporate family ratings from
Moody's and "B+" issuer credit ratings from Standard & Poor's.


TERRA INDUSTRIES: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Ratings at "BB"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings and
outstanding debt ratings of Terra Industries, Inc., and its
subsidiaries.  The ratings have also been removed from Watch
Evolving and assigned a Stable Rating Outlook following a decision
by CF Industries Holdings, Inc. to abandon its efforts to take
over Terra.  Fitch has also withdrawn the rating of Terra's
convertible preferred shares because of the de minimis amount
outstanding following payment of a premium which induced a
majority conversion of the issue into common shares.

Although the final curtain may not have yet been drawn, for the
immediate future CF Industries' designs on Terra have soured with
the appreciation of the latter's share price.  CF Industries had
been offering $36.75 in cash (which included Terra's $7.50 per
share special dividend paid last December) plus .1034 of its
common shares for each common share of Terra.  Terra's common has
risen in price some 86% since the inauguration of the merger
proposal in early 2009.

In the next few weeks Terra will likely report a 2009 EBITDA that
is substantially below 2008 levels.  The expected decrease will be
a result of far lower fertilizer volumes sold at far lower prices
than in 2008 due to the recession, inclement weather, and farmers'
choices to minimize fertilizer applications to save money in
uncertain times.  Terra will also likely report a low net leverage
to EBITDA (below 0.50x) which will include a healthy cash balance
and $600 million in debt representing the December 2009 issuance
of its 7.75% notes due 2019.  Terra and Terra Nitrogen, L.P. taken
as a whole have $200 million in secured revolvers available to
them (excluding outstanding letters of credit) that mature in
January 2012.

Prospects for the current fiscal 2010 have shown positive signs,
although volumes and prices are not likely to replicate those of
2008.  However, the food and industrial demand for corn
(particularly ethanol made from corn) is strong, and nitrogen-
based fertilizer applications are needed to replace nutrient
depletion in soils and preserve crop yields this growing season.
Terra will probably benefit from higher demand, some appreciation
in fertilizer prices and relatively low costs for natural gas, the
feedstock for the production of ammonia.  This combination could
propel EBITDA back above $500 million in the current fiscal year
with no significant change in net leverage and assuming normal
course dividends.

The Stable Outlook reflects little downside risk to Terra's debt
ratings in the near term, considering the company's cash reserves
and the current capital structure.

Fitch affirms Terra and its subsidiaries' ratings:

Terra Industries

  -- IDR at "BB".

Terra Capital

  -- IDR at "BB";
  -- Senior unsecured notes at "BB";
  -- Senior secured bank credit at "BB+".

Terra Nitrogen, L.P.

  -- IDR at "BB";
  -- Senior secured bank credit at "BB+".

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Fitch also withdraws this rating:

Terra Industries

  -- Convertible preferred shares "BB-".

TRIBUNE CO: Claim Traders Offer 70 Cents-on-the-Dollar
------------------------------------------------------
According to an article by Peg Brickley posted at The Wall Street
Journal's Bankruptcy Beat, claims traders are offering 70 cents on
the dollar to acquire claims filed by Tribune Co.'s suppliers.
Ms. Brickley cited an informal phone survey of creditors this
week.

Ms. Brickley relates claims traders last year offered as little as
15 cents on the dollar for the claims.

Claim traders include ASM Capital, L.P.; Claims Recovery Group
LLC; Longacre Opportunity Offshore Fund, Ltd.; Liquidity Solutions
Inc.; Sierra Liquidity Fund, LLC; Hain Capital Holdings, Ltd.;
United States Debt Recovery III LP; and Fair Harbor Capital, LLC.

"The offers started to rise, however, around the time a group of
Tribune's senior lenders, a/k/a potential lawsuit targets, said
they'd like to propose a Chapter 11 plan that would pay 100% to
creditors of operating subsidiaries.  Most business suppliers fall
in that category," Ms. Brickley reports.

Ms. Brickley also reports Tribune bond prices jumped in recent
months, after bondholders set off a public clamor for a suit
against the lenders that financed Tribune's 2007 leveraged buyout,
the source of much of the debt.  Ms. Brickley notes the bonds
haven't risen as high as the trade claims amid continued
uncertainty over who will get what under Tribune's restructuring.
"The threat of an LBO lawsuit, or 'this elephant in the room,' as
Judge Kevin Carey called it, has bondholders licking their chops
because the timeline looks designed for victory," Ms. Brickley
says.

Ms. Brickley recalls Tribune collapsed into Chapter 11 in 2008 the
year after the LBO piled on more than $8 billion worth of debt.
"Recession or no recession, bondholder attorneys say the LBO is an
easy target in a court fight over whether the deal doomed the
company.  No wonder a steering committee of 'credit agreement
lenders' that put up $4 billion of the LBO money is ready to woo
trade creditors owed $150 million with a 100-cents-on-the-dollar
Chapter 11 plan," Ms. Brickley says.

Ms. Brickley notes that even if no lender Chapter 11 plan ever
materializes, the prices on trade claims are a sign that the truly
smart money, the claims traders, believe the business vendors will
not be left out in the cold, no matter what happen in the battle
among the financial investors.  She says they are betting that
Tribune will take care of the sellers of advertising placement
services, providers of helicopter rides for reporting from the
skies and other vendors to the news and broadcast services.


For the period from January 6 through 28, 2009, 65 claims were
transferred to several trade creditors:

                                            No. of Claims
Transferee                                 Transferred
----------                                 -------------
United States Debt Recovery III, LP           42
Claims Recovery Group LLC                      4
Liquidity Solutions Inc                        8
Fair Harbor Capital, LLC                      11

In a separate filing, United States Debt Recovery III, LP, informs
the Court that it intends to withdraw the purported transfer of
clam as listed in the Debtors' Schedules of Assets and Liabilities
for PJ Green Inc., against the Debtors amounting to $1,760.
According to USDR, the transferor remains to be a creditor of the
Debtors.

US AIRWAYS: Discloses Compensatory Arrangements for Officers
------------------------------------------------------------
US Airways Group, Inc., disclosed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, on January 26, 2010, that certain of its
executives and other key management employees are eligible to
participate in an annual incentive program administered under the
US Airways Group, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stephen L. Johnson, executive vice president, corporate, of US
Airways Group, Inc., relates that by March 31st of each year, the
Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company must establish the performance measures
that will be used to determine incentive awards for the year.
The Committee will also establish target incentive award amounts
as a percentage of base salary for each participant.  According
to US Airways, the Committee may adjust each individual's payment
amount in its discretion based on individual performance.  After
Committee approval, the incentive awards are paid as lump-sum
cash distributions as soon as practicable after the end of the
plan year.

Mr. Johnson tells the Commission that on January 20, 2010, the
Committee established the:

  (1) corporate financial targets based on designated minimum
      levels of pre-tax income for fiscal year 2010;

  (2) operational targets based on (a) a peer-group comparison
      of on-time flight performance in 2010, (b) a reduction in
      customer complaints from 2009 levels as measured in a
      peer-group comparison for 2010, (c) baggage handling
      improvements from 2009 as measured by a peer-group
      comparison in 2010 and (d) the Company's 2010 cost
     (excluding fuel and payments under the employee profit
      sharing program) per available seat mile; and

  (3) bonus pool amount, based on the extent to which the
      corporate financial targets and the operational targets
      are met, for the annual incentive program.

According to Mr. Johnson, the Committee also established absolute
goals for each of the operational targets for target payouts.
The Committee established 2010 target incentive awards as 100% of
base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, 80% of base salary
for the President, 80% of base salary for the Executive Vice
Presidents and 60% of base salary for the Senior Vice Presidents.
If the performance measures are met at the maximum level, the
Committee may approve payouts at 200% of the target award
amounts.

If one or more of the corporate financial targets and operational
targets are met, Mr. Johnson explains, the Committee will
determine an incentive award amount for each individual based on
the individual's target incentive award amount, the level of
achievement of the financial and operational targets, the total
bonus pool amount available and individual performance.  The
awards for officers at the level of Senior Vice President and
above, referred to as "senior officers", are weighted 60% to the
corporate financial targets and 40% to the operational targets,
while the awards for all other eligible management are weighted
50% to the corporate financial targets and 50% to the operational
targets.  The four operational targets are each weighted equally.
If the Company does not meet any of the corporate financial
targets or operational targets, then no awards will be paid.  In
no event will the aggregate amount of awards paid out to the
participants exceed the established bonus pool.  The Committee
has also reserved the right to decrease the awards or to make no
payment of an award in its discretion, regardless of the
attainment of the targets.

         2010 Long-Term Incentive Performance Program

On January 20, 2010, the Committee approved the terms and
conditions for awards for the new three-year performance cycle
beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2012, under the
Company's Long-Term Incentive Performance Program, which operates
under the US Airways Group, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.  The
LTIP provides for performance cash awards to be paid to the
company's officers, including the named executive officers, based
on the Company's total stockholder return over the three-year
performance cycle relative to the TSRs of a pre-defined
competitive peer group for the same period.  Cash awards will be
paid out as a percentage of base salary based on relative TSR
rank, provided that a threshold level is reached.

For determining the cash awards for the 2010-2012 performance
cycle, the Committee adopted a peer group consisting of the these
companies: AirTran Holdings, Inc., Alaska Air Group, Inc., AMR
Corporation (the parent company of American Airlines),
Continental Airlines, Inc., Delta Air Lines, Inc., Hawaiian
Holdings, Inc. (the parent company of Hawaiian Airlines), JetBlue
Airways Corporation, Southwest Airlines Co. and UAL Corporation
(the parent company of United Air Lines).  In addition, the
Committee approved these award pay-out schedule for the 2010-2012
performance cycle:

US AIRWAYS: Lowers Net Loss to $499 Million in 2009
---------------------------------------------------
Highlights of US Airways Group, Inc.'s fourth quarter and 2009
results:

* The Company reported a net loss excluding special items for
  the fourth quarter 2009 of $32 million, or ($0.20) per share.
  This compares favorably to the fourth quarter 2008 net loss
  excluding special items of $222 million, or ($1.94) per share.

* The Company reported a full year 2009 net loss excluding
  special items of $499 million, or ($3.75) per share, versus a
  net loss excluding special items of $808 million, or ($8.06)
  per share, for the full year 2008.

* Mainline cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel
  and special items in the fourth quarter increased year-over-
  year by less than one percent despite a two percent reduction
  in mainline capacity (ASMs).  This cost containment resulted
  primarily from efficiencies created by the Company's industry
  leading operating reliability performance.

* The Company's total cash and investments on Dec. 31, 2009, was
  $2.0 billion, of which $0.5 billion was restricted.  The
  Company's unrestricted cash position increased by $261 million
  versus Dec. 31, 2008.

US Airways Group, Inc., reported its fourth quarter and 2009
results on January 28, 2010.  Net loss for the fourth quarter was
$32 million, or ($0.20) per share, which excludes special items
totaling $47 million.  Net loss excluding special items for the
fourth quarter 2008 was $222 million, or ($1.94) per share.  On a
GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $79 million for
its fourth quarter 2009, or ($0.49) per share, compared to a net
loss of $543 million, or ($4.76) per share, for the same period
in 2008.

For the full year 2009, the Company reported a net loss of
$499 million, or ($3.75) per share, excluding special credits
totaling $294 million.  Net loss excluding special items for the
full year 2008 was $808 million, or ($8.06) per share.  On a GAAP
basis, the Company reported a net loss of $205 million, or ($1.54)
per share for 2009, compared to a net loss of $2.2 billion, or
($22.11) per share, in 2008.

US Airways Group, Inc. Chairman and CEO Doug Parker stated, "Our
fourth quarter and full year results reflect the extremely
difficult environment the industry experienced in 2009.  Given
that environment, we are particularly pleased with the
significant improvement in financial performance versus 2008.
The actions we have put in place to address the challenges of the
past two years -- capacity cuts, a la carte revenues, cost
control and a commitment to efficient operating reliability --
are working.  We enter 2010 with encouraging momentum and well
positioned to take advantage of the improving economic
environment.

"We owe this improvement to the terrific US Airways team that has
remained focused on our customers through an extremely difficult
two years.  With more than 80 percent of our flights arriving on-
time during 2009, a 36 percent year-over-year improvement in
baggage handling and a 34 percent reduction in customer
complaints, we couldn't be more proud of our 32,000 fellow
employees," concluded Mr. Parker.

                  Revenue and Cost Comparisons

Total revenues in the fourth quarter were down 4.9 percent
versus the fourth quarter of 2008 due to a 1.8 percent decline in
total ASMs and lower passenger yields.  Total revenue per
available seat mile was 13.02 cents, down 3.1 percent versus the
same period last year.  Mainline passenger revenue per available
seat mile (PRASM) in the fourth quarter was 9.93 cents, down 7.0
percent versus the same period last year.  Express PRASM was
18.76 cents, up 1.7 percent versus the fourth quarter 2008.
Total mainline and Express PRASM was 11.44 cents, which was down
4.7 percent versus the fourth quarter 2008.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter were down 16.8
percent over the same period last year due principally to a 14.6
percent decrease in mainline and Express fuel expense. Mainline
CASM in the fourth quarter was 11.82 cents, down 19.2 percent
versus the same period last year.  Excluding fuel and special
items, mainline CASM was 8.56 cents, up 0.8 percent from the same
period last year, on a 1.8 percent decline in mainline ASMs.

                            Liquidity

As of Dec. 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $2.0 billion
in total cash and investments, of which $0.5 billion was
restricted, versus $2.0 billion in total cash of which
$0.7 billion was restricted on Dec. 31, 2008.  Looking forward, as
part of a previously announced liquidity improvement program, the
Company has significantly reduced its 2010 and 2011 capital
commitments by deferring most new aircraft deliveries and
reducing debt amortization.

                          Special Items

During its fourth quarter, the Company recognized special items
totaling $47 million.  These special items included: $19 million
in non-cash asset impairment charges primarily due to the decline
in fair value of certain intangible assets associated with
international routes, $5 million in aircraft costs as a result of
previously announced capacity reductions, $6 million in severance
charges, and $6 million in costs related to the Company's
liquidity improvement program.  In addition, the Company
recognized $49 million in non-cash charges associated with the
sale of 10 Embraer 190 aircraft and write off of related debt
discount and issuance costs.  These items were partially offset
by $38 million in special tax benefits.

           Other Fourth Quarter Notable Accomplishments

Strategic Initiatives

   * Announced the realignment of its operations to focus on the
     airline's core network strengths, which include hubs in
     Charlotte, N.C., Philadelphia and Phoenix, and a focus city
     at Washington National Airport. These four cities, as well
     as the airline's popular hourly Shuttle service between New
     York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., will serve as the
     foundation of the airline's network. By the end of 2010,
     they will represent 99 percent of the ASMs versus roughly
     93 percent today.

New Customer Initiatives

   * Expanded choice for Dividend Miles redemption with the
     introduction of the new GoAwards program, which began Jan.
     6. With these changes, customers have access to last-seat
     availability, and the ability to combine Coach, First and
     Envoy cabins and dates at various mileage levels.

   * Began offering customers access to more than 250 airport
     clubs worldwide, including all US Airways Clubs,
     Continental's Presidents Clubs, United's Red Carpet Clubs
     and Star Alliance lounges with the purchase of a single,
     standard US Airways Club membership.  US Airways currently
     offers 17 Clubs located in 13 cities across the United
     States and one Envoy Lounge in Philadelphia.

   * In November, US Airways began offering business class
     travelers improved comfort and privacy on trans-Atlantic
     flights with the new Envoy Suite, including fully lie-flat
     business class seats with an advanced on-demand in-flight
     entertainment system on its fleet of Airbus wide-body
     aircraft.

New Destinations and Flights

   * Commenced its first-ever service to South America with
     year-round daily, nonstop service from its Charlotte, N.C.
     hub to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

   * Initiated new, daily, nonstop service between its largest
     hub in Charlotte, N.C. and Honolulu, Hawaii on the island
     of Oahu.  The year-round flight complements US Airways'
     daily nonstop service to Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big
     Island from its Phoenix hub.

   * Announced daily, year-round nonstop service to Rome from
     Charlotte, N.C. beginning on May 13, 2010. The new flight
     will complement US Airways' daily nonstop service to Rome
     from Philadelphia, the airline's international gateway.

   * Inaugurated the airline's first ever service to Montego
     Bay, Jamaica from its Western U.S. hub at Phoenix Sky
     Harbor International Airport. This new route complements
     existing service to Jamaica from US Airways' two East Coast
     hubs in Charlotte, N.C., and Philadelphia, as well as
     Boston.

   * Unveiled new seasonal nonstop service to Anchorage, Alaska
     from its Philadelphia hub to begin June 1, 2010,
     complementing existing year-round Anchorage service from
     its Phoenix hub.

   * Announced that the airline will resume three daily flights
     between Melbourne, Fla. and its Charlotte, N.C. hub
     beginning Feb. 11, 2010.

             Analyst Conference Call/Webcast Details

US Airways conducted a live audio webcast of its earnings call on

Following the release of its 4th quarter and 2009 year end
results, US Airways rose 36 cents, or 6.4 percent, to $5.96 in
NYSE composite trading, its highest close since Jan. 29, 2009,
according to a February 2 Bloomberg News report.

Reuters said analysts offered generally upbeat assessments of US
Airways' fourth-quarter results.  UBS Investment Research raised
its price target on the company to $8 from $6.

                 Operational Outlook for 2009

US Airways Group, Inc., delivered to the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, on January 28, 2010, a report updating its
financial and operational outlook for 2009:

    * 2010 Capacity Guidance -- For 2010, total system capacity
      is expected to be up slightly.  Mainline is forecast to be
      up approximately two percent, with domestic down one
      percent and international up nine percent.  Express is
      expected to be down approximately two percent.

    * Cash -- As of December 31, 2009, the Company had
      approximately $2.0 billion in total cash and investments,
      of which $0.5 billion was restricted.  In addition, as of
      December 31, 2009, the Company's Auction Rate Securities
      had a book value of $203 million ($347 million par value).
      During the fourth quarter, the Company monetized
      approximately $64 million (par value) of its auction rate
      securities.  The Company continues to look at other
      opportunities to reduce its auction rate security
      exposure.  While these securities are held as investments
      in non-current marketable securities on the company's
      balance sheet, they are included in the company's
      unrestricted cash calculation.

    * Fuel -- For the first quarter 2010, the Company anticipates
      paying between $2.11 and $2.16 per gallon of mainline jet
      fuel (including taxes).

    * Profit Sharing/CASM -- Profit sharing equals 10% of pre-tax
      earnings excluding special items up to a 10% pre-tax
      margin and 15% above the 10% margin.

    * Cargo/Other Revenue -- cargo revenue, ticket change fees,
      excess/overweight baggage fees, first and second bag fees,
      contract services, simulator rental, airport clubs,
      Materials Services Company (MSC), and inflight service
      revenues.  The Company's a la carte revenue initiatives
      are expected to generate in excess of $500 million in
      revenue in 2010.

    * Taxes/NOL -- As of December 31, 2009, net operating losses
     (NOL) available for use by the Company is approximately
      $2.1 billion, all of which will be available for use in
      2010.  The Company's net deferred tax asset, which
      includes the NOL, is subject to a full valuation
      allowance.  As of December 31, 2009, the valuation
      allowances associated with Federal and state NOL are
      $546 million and $77 million.  In accordance with generally
      accepted accounting principles, future utilization of the
      NOL will result in a corresponding decrease in the
      valuation allowance and offset the Company's tax provision
      dollar for dollar.  As a result, income tax benefits are
      not recognized in the Company's statement of operations.

In the fourth quarter and for the full year ended December 31,
2009, the company recognized a special $17 million tax benefit
due principally to the recovery of Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT)
paid in prior years as a result of legislative changes in the
Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009.  The
Company also recognized a special $21 million non?cash tax
benefit as a result of an intra-period allocation of tax expense
recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI), a subset of
stockholders' equity.  Under current accounting rules, the
Company is required to consider all items (including items
recorded in other comprehensive income) in determining the amount
of tax benefit that results from a loss from continuing
operations.

To the extent profitable, the Company will use NOL to reduce
Federal and state taxable income in 2010.  The Company also may
be subject to AMT liability and obligated to record and pay state
income tax related to certain states where NOL may be limited or
not available to be used, if profitable in 2010.

US AIRWAYS: Pilots Call on Senators to Denounce Closures
--------------------------------------------------------
The US Airline Pilots Association (USAPA), representing the pilots
of US Airways, called on both candidates for the U.S. Senate seat
in Massachusetts to denounce the decision by US Airways to close
its Boston crew base on May 2, 2010.

As USAPA has stated, it believes closing this base will have a
detrimental impact on passengers, employees, New England taxpayers
and the state's economy due to the loss of hundreds of jobs and
associated tax revenue.

"Closing the Boston crew base will have a profoundly negative
effect on thousands of pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and
ramp workers who live in the Boston area," said USAPA President
Mike Cleary.  "Unless this decision is reversed, hundreds of jobs
will be lost in the Boston area, causing substantial harm to an
economy already burdened in a downturn.  US Airways' planned
Boston base closure doesn't serve the passengers, the taxpayers,
the New England economy, the employees or the company.  We believe
it is critical that both Senate candidates show, in the final
weekend of the campaign, that they intend to fight for the people
of Boston by immediately denouncing the Boston base closure and
pledging to fight it if elected."

VENETIAN MACAU: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Venetian Macau US
Finance Co., LLC, is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
95.16 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and
reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of
0.54 percentage points from the previous week, The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 550 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The debt matures on May 25, 2011, and carries
Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.

Meanwhile, participations in a syndicated loan under which Las
Vegas Sands Corp. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
87.31 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and
reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of
0.77 percentage points from the previous week, The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The debt matures on May 1, 2014, and carries
Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.

The syndicated loans are two of the biggest gainers and losers
among 180 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in
secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

Venetian Macau US Finance Co., LLC (also known as VML US Finance
LLC), and Venetian Macau Limited are wholly owned subsidiaries of
Las Vegas Sands.  Venetian Macau Limited owns the Sands Macau in
the People's Republic of China Special Administrative Region of
Macau and is also developing additional casino hotel resort
properties in Macau.

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

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 4, 2009, Moody's placed Las Vegas
Sands Corp.'s ratings, including its 'B3' Corporate Family Rating,
on review for possible downgrade.  Moody's cited weak operating
results and heightened concern regarding the Company's ability to
maintain compliance with financial covenants, among other things.

The Company also carries 'B-' issuer credit ratings from Standard
& Poor's.


VENTAS INC: Moody's Upgrades Rating on Senior Debt From 'Ba1'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the rating of Ventas' senior
unsecured debt to Baa3 from Ba1.  The ratings outlook is stable.

The upgrade reflects the strength in the REITs balance sheet after
significant de-leveraging activity in 2009.  By 3Q09, net debt to
EBITDA was 4.3X vs.  5.1X in 3Q08.  Moody's expects this metric to
remain under 5.0X, even as Ventas grows its portfolio.  The
upgrade also reflects the REIT's sound liquidity management
through the credit crisis, strong fixed charge coverages (2.9X at
3Q09), and high quality property portfolio.  Moody's also notes
that Ventas has managed its senior living operating assets well as
evidenced by its recent increase in earnings guidance for the
fourth quarter.

Ventas' credit profile continues to be challenged by its operator
and tenant concentration.  The REIT's top three operators by NOI
contribute 77% of total NOI and its top two tenants contribute
59%.  Moody's expects these concentrations to decrease, but
acknowledges this will take time.  Ventas also employs higher
secured debt levels than its investment grade rated peers.  The
rating upgrade also reflects Moody's expectation that secured debt
as a percentage of gross assets will decrease closer to 15% over
the near-term.  Given Ventas' material operator and tenant
concentrations, the REIT's credit metrics need to remain more
conservative than its more diversified peers in order to maintain
the same ratings.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Ventas will
maintain adequate liquidity, reduced secured debt levels and
maintain net debt to EBITDA below 5.0X, even as the REIT resumes
growth.  Moody's also expects the REIT to continue to advance the
diversity of its healthcare property portfolio by sub-type and
tenant/operator base.

Moody's indicated that upward rating's movement would be
predicated upon a reduction in its top two tenant exposure closer
to 25% of NOI, secured debt closer to 10% of gross assets, and net
debt to EBITDA below 4.5X on a consistent basis.  The rating
agency also indicated that downward rating's movement could result
if Ventas were to employ a more aggressive capital strategy,
demonstrated by a rise in net debt to EBITDA beyond 5.0X and
secured debt beyond existing levels which would most likely be
driven by a large, leveraged strategic acquisition.  In addition,
any material operating weakness in either of its top two tenants
could also pressure the ratings.

These ratings were upgraded with a stable outlook:

* Ventas Realty Limited Partnership -- Senior debt to Baa3, from
  Ba1; senior debt shelf to (P)Baa3, from (P)Ba1; subordinated
  debt shelf to (P)Ba1, from (P)Ba2

* Ventas, Inc. -- Senior guaranteed debt to Baa3, from Ba1; senior
  debt shelf to (P)Ba1, from (P)Ba2; subordinated debt shelf to
  (P)Ba2, from (P)Ba3

* Ventas Capital Corporation -- senior debt shelf to (P)Baa3, from
  (P)Ba1; subordinated debt shelf to (P)Ba1, from (P)Ba2

These ratings were affirmed with a stable outlook:

* Ventas, Inc. -- Preferred stock shelf at (P)Ba3

The last rating action with respect to Ventas Inc was on
September 24, 2007, when Moody's upgraded the ratings to Ba1
(senior unsecured debt) from Ba2.  The outlook was stable.

Ventas, Inc., is a health care real estate investment trust that
owns 243 senior housing facilities, 187 skilled nursing
facilities, 40 hospitals and 31 medical office and other
properties in 43 states and two Canadian provinces.  At
September 30, 2009, Ventas had $5.6 billion in book assets.

VISTEON CORP: Begins Filing Omnibus Claims Objections
-----------------------------------------------------
In their first omnibus claims objection, Visteon Corp. and its
units ask the Court to expunge 70 duplicate proofs of claim
that assert $12,699,261 in the aggregate.  The Debtors assert
that if those Claims are not formally expunged or disallowed, the
potential exists for double recoveries by the claimants.

A list of the Duplicate Claims is available for free at:

       http://bankrupt.com/misc/Visteon_1stOmniDupli.pdf

The Debtors also ask the Court to disallow in full 17 Equity
Claims, aggregating $10,475.  The Debtors aver that disallowance
of the proofs of claim filed on account of equity interests in
Visteon Corporation is appropriate because the Equity Claims do
not constitute "claims" within the meaning of Section 101(5) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

A list of the Equity Claims is available for free at:

VISTEON CORP: Wins Approval of Settlement With Toledo Molding
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi authorized Visteon Corp. and
its units to enter into a settlement agreement and mutual release
with Toledo Molding and Die, Inc.  The Court also authorized the
Debtors to file under seal certain schedules to the Settlement
Agreement and Mutual Release with Toledo Molding.

Visteon Corp. and its units are parties to numerous purchase
orders with Toledo & Die, Inc., under which Toledo Molding
manufactures interior and climate controlled parts for the
Debtors.  The Debtors aver that continued receipt of the Component
Parts are essential to their ongoing operations.  Mark M. Billion,
Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, contends that the Debtors cannot immediately resource
production from Toledo Molding and without receipt of the
Component Parts, the Debtors will shut down their manufacturing
lines for Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Group LLC, General Motors
Corporation, Nissan North America and Honda North America, causing
a default under the purchase orders and accommodation agreements
between the Debtors and those customers.

Toledo Molding alleges that the Debtors owes it more than
$9.6 million for component parts received prior to the Petition
Date, unpaid tooling invoices, and other commercial claims.
Toledo Molding also claims a lien on all tooling in its possession
for unpaid amounts due related to certain Tooling, and unpaid
amounts due for Component Parts manufactured with the Tooling.
Significantly, Toledo Molding asserts liens on the Tooling, some
of which relates to production that the Debtors will no longer
continue and therefore, release of those Tooling to the Debtors'
customers is required of the Debtors under their customer
accommodation agreements.

The Debtors, on the other hand, alleges that they are owed
approximately $1.3 million by Toledo Molding for contractual
productivity givebacks and decreased raw material costs arising
prior to the Petition Date.

The Debtors believe that Toledo Molding is a "distressed
supplier" as contemplated in the Critical Vendors Order entered
by the Bankruptcy Court, authorizing the Debtors to pay certain
prepetition claims of critical and financially distressed
suppliers.  Mr. Billion asserts that in the event Toledo Molding
is unable to manufacture the Component Parts, the Debtors'
production lines will be shut down and the Debtors, in turn, will
be unable to manufacture component parts for their customers.
Consequently, the Debtors will suffer not only a loss of revenue,
but also be subjected to significant damage claims from their
affected customers, loss of good will and be in breach of their
customer accommodation agreements, he points out.

The parties have decided to negotiate a resolution to their
dispute and entered into a settlement agreement, whereby:

  -- The Debtors will pay Toledo Molding a lump sum cash payment
     of $2.6 million, release certain claims against Toledo
     Molding, and assume certain purchase orders with Toledo
     Molding at agreed pricing.

  -- In exchange, Toledo Molding will release claims against
     the Debtors.

  -- In addition, Toledo Molding will effectuate a setoff of the
     Debtors' Claim against the Toledo Molding Claim.

Mr. Billion reminds the Court that the Debtors have equity
interest in Toledo Molding.  He asserts that failure to enter
into the Settlement, causing Toledo Molding to be unable to renew
its financing and potentially closing its doors will not only
cause damages to the Debtors through shutting down their
customers, but may also substantially decrease equity of Toledo
Molding thus decreasing the value of the Debtors' estate.

VISTEON CORP: Wins Approval of Siemens Financial Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------
Visteon Corp. won approval of a settlement with Siemens Financial
Services Inc.

Visteon Corp. and Siemens Financial Services, Inc., are parties to
a Master Equipment Lease Agreement dated August 31, 2004, and
certain related schedules, which include (i) Leasing Schedule
Nos. 1 and 2 dated September 15, 2004, (ii) Leasing Schedule No.
3 dated October 29, 2004, (iii) Leasing Schedule No. 4 dated
November 15, 2004, (iv) Leasing Schedule No. 5 dated November 30,
2004, and (v) Leasing Schedule No. 6, under which the Debtors
lease from Siemens certain office furniture and fixtures.

The Property leased by the Debtors is comprised of the
workstations and free-standing cubicles that provide open-plan
office space for Visteon employees throughout Visteon's office
complex that are necessary for the Debtors' operations.

The Lease, which will expire in 2011, requires a monthly payment
of $194,000, for which the Debtors have not paid since the
Petition Date.  The aggregate amount of payments remaining under
the Lease, including missed payments since the Petition Date,
equal $5.4 million, Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang
Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, tells the Court.

"Replacing the Property would be prohibitively expensive, likely
costing in excess of $5 million, as well as disruptive to
Visteon's business, hindering Visteon's reorganization efforts,"
Ms. Jones notes.

Accordingly, the Debtors and Siemens have reached an agreement
under which Siemens will sell, and the Debtors will purchase the
Property, for $2.5 million pursuant to Section 363(b)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  The Settlement Agreement also provides for
Siemens' waiver and release of all prepetition, administrative
expense and lease rejection claims and the Debtors' waiver and
release of any claims they may have against Siemens relating to
the Lease, including avoidance actions under Chapter 5 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

Ms. Jones specifies that the Debtors paid three monthly Lease
payments, totaling $387,000, to Siemens within the 90-day period
prior to the Petition Date.  Hence, Siemens may have sufficient
defenses to greatly reduce or eliminate potential recovery on any
avoidance actions.

Through the rejection of the Lease and purchase of the Property,
the Debtors will own the Property rather than lease, Ms. Jones
points out.  This will allow the Debtors, she notes, to retain
the Property beyond the expiration of the Lease.  Moreover, as a
result, the Debtors will save approximately $2.9 million and
avoid the disruption and prohibitive costs of replacing the
Property, Ms. Jones avers.

Siemens's waiver constitutes release of all claims against the
Debtors, including significant administrative claims and lease
rejection claims.  "The $2.9 million savings [that the Debtors]
will realize from this transaction more than compensates for its
release of potential avoidance actions," Ms. Jones asserts.  "The
transaction avoids the costs associated with litigation and
represents a reasonable compromise."

WENDELL NORBY: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Oregon
--------------------------------------------------------
Nathan Halverson at The Press Democrat reports that Wendell
Nordby III filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Santa Rosa, attempting to reorganize $52.5 million in debts and
liabilities while retaining $1.6 million in assets.

Mr. Norby said slowdown in business at Norby Construction coupled
with a drop in the value of his other development projects forced
him to seek for protection, Mr. Halverson notes.

Mr. Nordby is trying to dissolve all of his $32 million in
personal guarantees.  At least one loan he guaranteed is in
default -- a $750,000 line of credit loan from Wells Fargo to a
partnership called DDB LLC.  The bank sued Mr. Nordby and his
partners in Sonoma County Superior Court last May, attempting to
force them to make good on their promise to cover the loan, Mr.
Halverson relates.

Mr Halverson says Mr. Nordby has proposed a restructuring plan to
his creditors, who will have until March 12 to vote on it.

Michael Fallon represents Mr. Nordby.

Wendell Norby is chief executive of Norby Construction, a general
contractor in the North Bay.


WEST CORP: Bank Debt Trades at Less Than 1% Off
-----------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which West Corporation
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 99.38 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Feb. 5, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.68 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company
pays 387 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the loan
facility, which matures on July 1, 2016.  The bank debt carries
Moody's B1 rating while not rated by Standard & Poor's.  The
syndicated loan is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 180
widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

The Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 9, 2009, said that Moody's
does not expect to take any immediate rating action following West
Corporation's announcement that it has filed for an initial public
offering of its common stock.  West indicated in its Form S-1
filing that it intends to use part of the net proceeds from the
offering to repay or repurchase indebtedness.

The last rating action on West Corporation was on May 8, 2007, at
which time Moody's lowered the senior secured credit facility
rating to B1 from Ba3 while affirming all other credit and
liquidity ratings.

Based in Omaha, Nebraska, West Corporation is a leading provider
of business process outsourcing services.  West has a B2 Corporate
Family Rating and a stable rating outlook.

WINDSTREAM CORP: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to "BB-"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its ratings on
Little Rock, Arkansas-based Windstream Corp., including the
corporate credit rating, which S&P lowered to "BB-" from "BB".  At
the same time, S&P removed all ratings on Windstream from
CreditWatch with negative implications, where they had been placed
on Nov. 24, 2009, following the announcement that the company had
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Iowa
Telecommunications Services (B+/Stable/--) in a transaction valued
at $1.1 billion.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level ratings to "BB+"
from "BBB-" on these issues:

* Windstream's $2.9 billion senior secured credit facility;

* Valor Telecommunications Enterprises' $400 million notes due
  2015;

* Windstream Holdings of the Midwest Inc.'s $100 million notes due
  2028; and

* Windstream Georgia Communications Corp.'s $200 million
  debentures due 2013 (about $50 million currently outstanding.

The recovery rating on these issues remains unchanged at "1",
which indicates very high (90%-100%) expectations for recovery in
the event of payment default.

S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on Windstream's senior
unsecured debt to "B+" from "BB-" and left the recovery rating at
"5", which indicates expectations for modest (10%-30%) recovery in
the event of payment default.

"The rating action reflects S&P's view that access-line losses and
slower digital subscriber line growth will pressure revenue and
cash flow," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Allyn Arden,
"making it unlikely Windstream will be able to achieve credit
measures that are appropriate for the previous "BB" rating,
including leverage in the low-3x area."  Pro forma debt to EBITDA
is about 3.8x, although potential operating synergies from recent
acquisitions could result in modest leverage reduction.  'still,"
added Mr. Arden, "longer term improvement key credit metrics will
be challenging, given the secular decline of the wireline industry
and the company's aggressive financial policy."


WITSOP-1 LLC: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy to Avert Foreclosure
----------------------------------------------------------------
Boston Business Journal, citing a report from the Patriot Ledger,
says Witsop-1 LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to
avert foreclosure.  Citizens Bank sought to foreclose on Village
Square because the company violated a loan covenant.  Two related
projects planned on an adjacent site are not expected to be
affected by the bankruptcy.

Witsop-1 LLC owns the Village Square shopping center on Route 53.


W.R. GRACE: Closing Arguments Heard, Interest Rate Debate Remains
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Judith Fitzgerald of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York convened a hearing on January 25,
2010, to hear closing arguments regarding the Plan of
Reorganization proposed by W.R. Grace & Co. and its debtor
affiliates, the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, the
Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants and the
official.

During the hearing, a debate on how much interest is due to
Grace's loans when it emerges from bankruptcy, Peg Brickley at Dow
Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported.

According to DBR, Grace argues that investors who bought
$500 million in bank loans should be paid about $350 million in
interest, in addition to payment in full on the principal.  Grace
says the bank loan interest rate was determined in a series of
deals, including the multi-billion-dollar global settlement of
asbestos damage claims that cleared the way for it to get out of
Chapter 11.  The settlement allows shareholders to hang on to
their stock, which was trading for $25 per share Monday.

DBR said investors in Grace's bank debt point out the company is
healthy enough to pay the default rate of interest on loans,
honoring the bargain it entered into when it borrowed the money.
The holders of Grace bank loan, according to DBR, want nearly
$100 million more than Grace is offering, and contend Grace should
not be allowed out of bankruptcy until it pays them.  DBR relates
that lenders argue Grace's market capitalization stands as proof
the Debtor is solvent, and its Chapter 11 case is not like most
cases, which pay creditors pennies on the dollar of debt,
"especially these days," said bank attorney Ken Pasquale, Esq., at
Stroock & Stroock & Lavan.

DBR said the bank loans at issue predate Grace's April 2001
Chapter 11 filing.  DBR notes that the argument marked the end of
months of confirmation hearings at which Grace is seeking
permission to put its reorganization plan in place and emerge from
bankruptcy.

"The default rate is rarely applied.  It is applied in very, very
highly unusual cases," Judge Fitzgerald commented at the hearing,
DBR reports.

Grace's plan provides for the establishment of a $2.9 billion
trust to cover asbestos liabilities.

David Bernick, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis, on Grace's behalf, said
asbestos creditors and shareholders all gave up something in the
compromise that led to the Chapter 11 plan, and that it would only
be fair for bank debt holders to be on the same footing as others.

Investors in Grace's bank debt include Avenue Capital Management,
Caspian Capital Advisors, Citigroup Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.,
Anchorage Advisors, LLC, Babson Capital Management, LLC, Bass
Companies, Catalyst Investment Management Co., LLC, Cetus Capital,
LLC, DE Shaw Laminar Portfolios, LLC, Intermarket Corp., JD
Capital Management, LLC, Loeb Partners Corporation, MSD Capital,
L.P., Normandy Hill Capital, L.P., Ore Hill Partners, LLC, P.
Schoenfeld Asset Management, LLC, Restoration Capital Management,
LLC, and Royal Bank of Scotland, PLC.

               The Canadian Government Objection

Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada contends that the
Debtors' Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization is not confirmable.

According to Jacqueline Dais-Visca, Esq., senior counsel at the
Ontario Regional Office in Canada, the Debtors and the
representative counsel for the Companies' Creditors Arrangement
Act executed the 2009 Restated Settlement, to which the Crown is
not a party, as of November 16, 2009.

While the 2009 Restated Settlement purports to release Grace from
all liability for claims asserted by parties asserting claims
relating to Zonolite Attic Insulation manufactured by W.R. Grace &
Co. in Canada, it also allows the CDN ZAI Personal Injury
claimants to pursue the Crown "not just for any alleged several
liability of the Crown but also for all joint liability alleged to
be shared with Grace and channels the Crown's claim over for
contribution or indemnity to the Asbestos PI Trust Fund," Ms.
Dais-Visca relates.

"The compromise and settlement memorialized in the 2009 Restated
ZAI Settlement is the product of collusion . . . to shift
liability for Grace's joint liability onto the Crown and to
deprive the Crown of the meaningful opportunity to actively
participate in the US bankruptcy proceedings so as to limit the
Crown's exposure to ZAI and other asbestos related claims arising
from Grace's activities in Canada," Ms. Dais-Visca emphasizes.

The 2009 Restated ZAI Settlement is an undisguised attempt to
transform the Crown, a tort action co-defendant, into a guarantor
or insurer for the liability of Grace in respect of ZAI, she adds.

In response, the Plan Proponents consisting of the Debtors, the
Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants and the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders contend that the
objection of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada to the
confirmation of the Debtors' Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
"lack merit and should be overruled."

To recall, the Crown alleged that the Debtors and the
representative counsel for the Companies' Creditors Arrangement
Act restated the original CDN Minutes of Settlement of the claims
relating to the Canadian Zonolite Attic Insulations on
November 16, 2009, without including the Crown as a party.

According to David M. Bernick, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in
New York, when it became clear that the confirmation of the Plan
was not feasible by October 31, 2009, Grace and the CCAA
Representative Counsel engaged in discussions, but were unable to
reach an agreement, on an extension of the deadline in the
Original Settlement.  As a result, the Original Settlement
expired, rendering it null and void.

Pursuant to continued discussions, however, Grace and the CCAA
Representative Counsel executed the Amended Settlement.  The key
differences between the Amended Settlement and the Original
Settlement are:

  (1) Grace increased its contribution to the CDN ZAI Property
      Damage Claims Fund and the new date by which the Amended
      Settlement would expire in the absence of a Confirmation
      Order was set at December 31, 2010.

  (2) Consistent with the Original Settlement, the Amended
      Settlement continues to prohibit CDN ZAI PD Claimants from
      pursuing CDN ZAI PD Claims against the Crown if those
      Claims will result in a claim for contribution, indemnity
      or otherwise by the Crown against Grace.  However, CDN ZAI
      Personal Injury Claimants are now permitted to pursue CDN
      ZAI PI Claims against the Crown provided that any
      subsequent claims by the Crown for contribution, indemnity
      or otherwise against Grace and its affiliates and
      predecessors are channeled to the Asbestos Personal Injury
      Trust.

  (3) Grace consents to, and supports, the application by the
      CCAA Representative Counsel for their appointment as
      special counsel for CDN ZAI Claimants in the U.S. Chapter
      11 cases retroactively to September 1, 2008, and going
      forward to the date of the Confirmation Order.  As a
      result, the Representative Counsel will be entitled to
      apply to have Grace pay their legal fees for this period.
      There was no similar provision in the Original Settlement.

While the Crown is disappointed that the Original Settlement's
gratuitous treatment -- bestowing on it the windfall protection
from CDN ZAI PI Claims -- no longer exists in the Amended
Settlement, "that disappointment has nothing to do with whether
the Amended Settlement can and should be approved," Mr. Bernick
contends.

The Crown's allegation that the Amended Settlement is the "product
of collusion on behalf of the Debtors and CCAA Representative
Counsel" is completely false, because both the Original Settlement
and the Amended Settlement were negotiated at arm's length.

"The Crown contributed nothing under the Original Settlement -- it
was merely a third part beneficiary of that agreement.   Moreover,
it was always clear that the Original Settlement was dependent
upon the Joint Plan being confirmed by October 31, 2009.  After
that date passed, the Debtors could not guarantee that the Crown
would receive the same treatment that was contemplated under the
Original Settlement," Mr. Bernick states.

In addition, the Crown simply states that CDN ZAI PD Claimants are
not treated "fairly and equitably," but is absolutely silent on
the vast differences between Canadian law and U.S. law with
respect to asbestos PD claims, Mr. Bernick notes.

Mr. Bernick further argues that under the Plan, the Crown's claims
are properly classified as Class 6 claims since they are
Indirect PI Trust Claims, which means that they are contribution
and indemnity claims on account of asbestos PI claims in Canada.

Mr. Bernick also points out that the Crown has filed a late
objection to the Plan.

                    Plan Objection Stipulations

Pursuant to a stipulation reached with the Plan Proponents,
Allianz Underwriters Insurance Company, Allianz SE, formerly known
as Allianz Aktiengesellschaft, Allianz S.p.A., formerly known as
Riunione Adriatica di Sicurta S.p.A., and Fireman's Fund Insurance
Company, informed the Court and parties-in-interest that they
withdraw all of their objections to:

  (i) the confirmation of the Joint Plan of Reorganization and
      all Plan-related documents; and

(ii) the Debtors' or Grace Personal Injury Committees' motions
      or applications pending in the Debtors' cases, including
      any appeals.

The Allianz Companies also notified Judge Fitzgerald that
Fireman's Fund Insurance Company has withdrawn its request to lift
the automatic stay to allow completion of the Debtors' appeal from
the judgment relating to the action styled W.R. Grace & Co. v.
Clifton Aaron Edwards, et al., litigated at the Texas Court of
Appeals of the 6th District.  As previously reported, Fireman's
Fund asserted a claim pursuant to an Indemnity Agreement arising
from a $43-million bond it issued on Grace's behalf in connection
with its appeal of a judgment awarded in favor of plaintiffs Aaron
C. Edwards, James T. Beam, Edward E. Storey, John M. Thomas, and
Sheila Martin.

The Allianz Companies consent to the assignment of Asbestos
Insurance Rights as provided in the Asbestos Insurance Transfer
Agreement, as defined in the Plan, John D. Demmy, Esq., at Stevens
& Lee. P.C., in Wilmington, Delaware, said.

the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

    Highlights for the fourth quarter:

    * 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 Advanced Refining
      Technologies (ART) joint venture.

      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.

      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."

                   Fourth Quarter 2009 Results

Sales for the fourth quarter were $678.3 million compared with
$768.4 million in the prior year quarter, an 11.7% decrease.
The sales decrease was due to lower sales volumes (9.0%), the
previously announced deconsolidation of the Advanced Refining
Technologies (ART) joint venture (5.0%), and lower cost of metals
passed through to customers (2.5%), partly offset by favorable
currency translation (3.5%) and price increases (1.3%).  Sales
were down 26.8% in North America, 3.1% in Europe, and 9.7% in
Asia, and up 11.4% in Latin America.

Gross profit percentage for the fourth quarter was 36.6% compared
with 27.2% in the prior year quarter and 34.8% in the third
quarter of 2009.  The improvement in gross profit percentage is
due to a decrease in certain raw materials and energy costs since
their peak in the fourth quarter of 2008, lower factory overhead
expenses resulting primarily from restructuring activities, and
price increases primarily implemented during the fourth quarter of
2008.  Grace experienced increasing costs for certain raw
materials during the fourth quarter though raw materials and
energy costs remained below prior year levels.

Core EBIT was $76.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared with
$47.3 million in the prior year quarter, a 61.5% increase.  The
unfavorable effect of lower sales was more than offset by the
9.4 percentage point improvement in gross profit percentage from
the prior year quarter.  Core EBIT for the fourth quarter included
$11.7 million of gains related to the sale of a product line, the
sale of a 5% interest in ART and the required revaluation of
Grace's remaining investment in ART, partly offset by $6.5 million
of restructuring expenses and related asset impairments.  Core
EBIT margin was 11.3% compared with 6.2% in the prior year
quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.0% from
the prior year quarter due to the restructuring actions completed
in 2009 and other cost reduction efforts (5.2%) and a decrease in
noncore costs (8.1%), partly offset by an increase in incentive
compensation (5.7%), unfavorable currency translation (3.1%) and
higher legal costs (2.5%).

Net income attributable to Grace (Grace net income) for the fourth
quarter was $46.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared
with $43.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the prior year
quarter.  Both the fourth quarter and the prior year quarter were
negatively affected by Chapter 11 expenses and other matters not
related to core operations.  Both quarters benefited from the
favorable resolution of noncore tax matters, resulting in a net
tax benefit of $5.5 million in the 2009 fourth quarter and a net
tax benefit of $34.6 million in the prior year quarter.  Excluding
Chapter 11 expenses, the loss on non-core activities, and non-core
tax items, Grace net income would have been $46.5 million for the
fourth quarter compared with $25.4 million calculated on the same
basis for the prior year quarter, an 83.1% increase.

                  Full Year 2009 Results

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $2,825 million
compared with $3,317 million for the prior year, a 14.8% decrease.
The sales decrease was due to lower sales volumes (10.2%),
unfavorable currency translation (3.7%), lower cost of metals
passed through to customers (3.1%), and the deconsolidation of the
ART joint venture (1.2%), partly offset by price increases (3.4%).

Gross profit percentage for the year was 32.7% compared with 29.7%
in the prior year.  The improvement in gross profit percentage was
due to price increases primarily implemented in the second half of
2008, a decrease in raw materials and energy costs since their
peak in the fourth quarter of 2008, and lower factory overhead
expenses resulting primarily from restructuring activities.

Core EBIT for the year was $255.3 million, down 14.8% from the
prior year, primarily due to lower sales volumes, unfavorable
currency translation, and higher pension expenses, partly offset
by an increase in gross profit percentage and lower selling,
general and administrative expenses.  Restructuring expenses and
related asset impairments of $32.4 million for the year were
offset by gains related to three product line sales and the ART
transaction of $33.9 million.  Core EBIT margin was 9.0%, equal to
the prior year level.

Grace net income for the year ended December 31, 2009, was
$71.2 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared with Grace net
income of $121.5 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, for the
prior year.

Adjusted operating cash flow was $446.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2009, compared with $389.5 million in the prior year,
a 14.6% increase.  The increase in adjusted operating cash
flow was primarily due to improvements in working capital and
lower capital expenditures, partially offset by the impact of
lower Core EBIT.  Net working capital decreased by 27 days during
2009, including a reduction of 13 days of inventory and an
increase of 13 days of accounts payable.

                      CORE OPERATIONS

                       Grace Davison

Fourth quarter sales for the Grace Davison operating segment,
which includes specialty catalysts and materials used in a wide
range of industrial applications, were $460.8 million, down 9.1%
from the prior year quarter. The sales decrease was due to the
deconsolidation of the ART joint venture (7.6%), lower sales
volumes (3.7%), and lower cost of metals passed through to
customers (3.7%), partly offset by favorable currency translation
(3.9%) and price increases (2.0%).

Sales of this operating segment are reported by product group:

    * Refining Technologies -- sales of catalysts and chemical
      additives used by petroleum refineries were $200.6 million
      in the fourth quarter, down 26.0% from the prior year
      quarter.  Fourth quarter sales in this product group were
      unfavorably affected by the deconsolidation of the ART
      joint venture, lower sales volumes, and a decrease in the
      cost of molybdenum passed through to hydroprocessing
      customers, partly offset by improved pricing in fluid
      catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts and additives and
      favorable currency translation.  Reported sales of this
      product group include $17.8 million related to the ART
      joint venture in the 2009 fourth quarter and $77.3 million
      in the prior year quarter.

    * Materials Technologies -- sales of engineered materials,
      coatings and sealants used in numerous industrial,
      consumer and packaging applications were $160.8 million in
      the fourth quarter, up 9.8% from the prior year quarter.
      Fourth quarter sales in this product group were favorably
      affected by currency translation, improved customer demand
      and higher selling prices.

    * Specialty Technologies -- sales of highly specialized
      catalysts and materials used in unique or proprietary
      applications and markets were $99.4 million in the fourth
      quarter, up 11.2% from the prior year quarter.  Fourth
      quarter sales in this product group were favorably
      affected by higher customer demand for polyolefin
      catalysts and by currency translation.

Segment operating income of Grace Davison for the fourth quarter
was $97.0 million compared with $50.8 million in the prior year
quarter, a 90.9% increase.  The favorable effects of raw materials
and energy cost reductions, operational efficiencies, and improved
pricing more than offset the unfavorable effects of lower sales
volumes.  Gross profit percentage was 37.1% compared with 24.4% in
the prior year quarter and 33.6% in the third quarter of 2009.
Segment operating margin was 21.1% compared with 10.0% in the
prior year quarter.

On November 30, 2009, Grace completed the sale of a 5% interest in
ART, a joint venture with Chevron Products Company.  Grace reduced
its 55% interest to 50% to achieve a balanced ownership structure
with Chevron.  Grace deconsolidated ART's results from its
consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis effective
December 1, 2009.  Previously, Grace reported 100% of ART's sales
and 55% of ART's income, with 45% of ART's income reported as
income attributable to non-controlling interests.  Effective
December 1, 2009, Grace is reporting its investment in ART and its
portion of ART's income and dividends using the equity method of
accounting.  Grace recorded a gain of $4.8 million from the sale
of its 5% interest in ART and the required revaluation of its
remaining investment in ART.

Sales of the Grace Davison operating segment for the year ended
December 31, 2009, were $1,935.4 million, down 10.8% compared with
the prior year.  Segment operating income for the year ending
December 31, 2009 was $331.3 million, a 19.1% increase compared
with the prior year.  Segment operating margin was 17.1% compared
with 12.8% for the prior year.  These results reflect the
favorable effects of price increases, lower raw materials and
energy costs, gains related to the sale of a product line and the
ART transaction, and lower operating expenses, partly offset by
the unfavorable effects of lower sales volume, the sale in the
first quarter of 2009 of high-cost inventories produced in the
fourth quarter of 2008, and currency translation.

                  Grace Construction Products

Fourth quarter sales for the Grace Construction Products operating
segment, which includes specialty chemicals and building materials
used in commercial, infrastructure and residential construction,
were $217.5 million, down 16.8% from the prior year quarter.  The
sales decrease was due to lower sales volumes (18.5%) and prices
(0.7%), partly offset by favorable currency translation (2.4%).

Sales of this operating segment are reported by geographic region
as:

    * Americas -- sales of products to customers in the Americas
      were $107.2 million in the fourth quarter, down 20.4% from
      the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower customer
      demand in North America.  In Latin America, price
      increases and favorable currency translation resulted in
      an 18.1% sales increase from the prior year quarter.

    * Europe -- sales of products to customers in Eastern and
      Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India were
      $74.5 million in the fourth quarter, down 17.2% from the
      prior year quarter.  Unfavorable market conditions
      resulted in significantly lower sales volumes across the
      region, except in India and some Middle Eastern and
      African markets.

    * Asia -- sales of products to customers in Asia (excluding
      India), Australia, and New Zealand were $35.8 million in
      the fourth quarter, down 2.5% from the prior year quarter.
      Revenues were unfavorably affected by lower sales volumes.

    The sharp decline in the U.S. construction market abated in
the second half of 2009, although activity remains weak.
Commercial construction starts in the U.S. in the fourth quarter
were down approximately 40% from the prior year quarter.
Commercial construction activity in Europe and the Middle East
continued to decline in the fourth quarter but at more moderate
rates.  Unfavorable credit conditions continue to delay commercial
construction starts.

Segment operating income of Grace Construction Products for the
fourth quarter was $22.7 million compared with $27.7 million for
the prior year quarter, an 18.1% decrease.

The unfavorable effects of lower volumes more than offset the
favorable effect of lower raw materials costs and operating
expenses.  Gross profit percentage was 36.0% compared with 32.9%
in the prior year quarter and 37.9% in the third quarter of 2009.
Segment operating margin in the fourth quarter was 10.4% compared
with 10.6% in the prior year quarter.

In December 2009, Grace completed the sale of its Serviwrap Pipe
Corrosion Protection product line, a non-strategic component of
Grace Construction Products' Specialty Building Materials
business, to a strategic buyer, and recorded a gain on the sale of
$6.9 million.  The Serviwrap product line includes tapes used to
wrap joints for water, oil and gas pipelines both onshore and
offshore.  Sales of this product line account for significantly
less than 1% of Grace's 2009 sales.  Grace Construction Products
recognized restructuring expenses and related asset impairments of
$5.8 million for severance and other costs related to the
announced closure of the manufacturing facility where Serviwrap
products were made.

Sales of the Grace Construction Products operating segment for the
year ended December 31, 2009, were $889.6 million, down 22.5%
compared with the prior year.  Segment operating income for the
year ended December 31, 2009 was $106.4 million compared with
$148.3 million for the prior year, a 28.3% decrease.  Segment
operating margins were 12.0% for the year compared with 12.9% for
the prior year, reflecting continued weakness in the global
construction market.  These results include the gains on the sale
of two product lines in 2009 and the restructuring following the
sale of the Serviwrap product line.

                       Corporate Costs

Corporate support function costs decreased by 8.6% in the fourth
quarter compared with the prior year quarter due primarily to
savings from the restructuring actions completed in 2009 and other
cost reduction efforts.  Performance related compensation and
other corporate costs increased in the fourth quarter compared
with the prior year quarter primarily due to higher incentive
compensation expenses and higher legal costs.

Corporate support function costs decreased 7.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2009, compared with the prior year due primarily to
savings from the restructuring actions completed in 2009 and other
cost reduction efforts.  Performance-related compensation and
other corporate costs increased for the year ended December 31,
2009, over the prior year primarily due to higher incentive
compensation expenses and higher legal costs.

                        Pension Expense

Pension expense related to core operations for the fourth quarter
was $17.5 million compared with $11.5 million for the prior year
quarter, a 52.2% increase.  Pension expense related to core
operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, was
$68.9 million compared with $45.6 million in the prior year, an
increase of 51.1%.  The increase in costs is primarily
attributable to the decline in plan asset values in 2008.

                    Restructuring Actions

In the year ended December 31, 2009, Grace recognized
$32.4 million of restructuring expenses and related asset
impairments related to cost reduction and restructuring programs
implemented in its core operations, and $1.0 million of
restructuring expenses related to its noncore activities.  Of
these amounts, $26.6 million relate to corporate-initiated
programs and are included in corporate restructuring expenses in
the consolidated analysis of core operations, and $5.8 million
relate to programs initiated by an operating segment and are
included in segment operating income.

The 2009 restructuring actions, together with actions completed in
2008, produced over $50 million of cost savings in the year ended
December 31, 2009, of which over $35 million were realized in
operating expenses.

          PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS) FROM NONCORE ACTIVITIES

Noncore activities (as reflected in the consolidated analysis of
core operations) include events and transactions not directly
related to the generation of operating revenue or the support of
core operations.  The pre-tax loss from noncore activities was
$14.4 million in the fourth quarter compared with a loss of
$10.5 million in the prior year quarter, and $87.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2009 compared with $57.7 million in the
prior year.

The increase in the noncore loss for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009,
is primarily due to higher noncore pension and other
postretirement benefit expenses, higher noncore legal expenses,
and a larger net difference between the change in value of non-
U.S. dollar intercompany loans and the change in value of the
associated currency hedge contracts (this non-cash net difference
results from a difference in the changes in the currency spot rate
used to value the intercompany loans and the changes in the
forward points and discount rates used to value the hedge
contracts for accounting purposes), partly offset by a lower
provision for environmental remediation. In addition, the loss
from noncore activities for the prior year includes a gain from
the sale of a noncore asset.

                   INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES

Interest expense was $9.8 million for the fourth quarter compared
with $11.4 million for the prior year quarter, and $38.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with $54.2 million
in the prior year.  The decrease in interest expense is primarily
due to a lower interest rate.  The annualized weighted average
interest rate on prepetition obligations for the fourth quarter
was 3.5%.  Income taxes are recorded at a global effective rate of
approximately 30% before considering the effects of certain non-
deductible Chapter 11 expenses, changes in uncertain tax positions
and other discrete adjustments.  Income taxes related to foreign
jurisdictions are generally paid in cash, while Grace expects
taxable income in the United States will be offset by available
tax deductions.  Benefit from (provision for) income taxes in the
2009 fourth quarter includes a tax benefit of $23.1 million
related to a previously disclosed settlement of a tax matter with
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

                   CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS

On April 2, 2001, Grace and 61 of its United States subsidiaries
and affiliates, including its primary U.S. operating subsidiary W.
R. Grace & Co.-Conn., filed voluntary petitions for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in
order to resolve Grace's asbestos-related liabilities.

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 Official Committee of
Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the Representative for Future
Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, and the Official Committee of
Equity Security Holders are co- proponents of the Joint Plan.  The
committee representing general unsecured creditors and the
Official Committee of Asbestos Property Damage Claimants and the
Representative for Future Asbestos Property Damage Claimants are
not co-proponents of the Joint Plan.  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 require the establishment of
two asbestos trusts under Section 524(g) of the 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.

Most of Grace's noncore liabilities and contingencies are subject
to compromise under the Chapter 11 process.  Grace has not
adjusted its accounting for asbestos-related liabilities to
reflect the filing of the Joint Plan.  At this time, Grace is
unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the value of certain
consideration payable to the asbestos trusts under the Joint Plan.
These values will ultimately be determined on the effective date
of the Joint Plan.  Grace expects to adjust its accounting for the
Joint Plan when the consideration can
be measured and material conditions to the Joint Plan are
satisfied.  Grace expects that those adjustments may be material
to Grace's consolidated financial position and results of
operations.

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.

                  CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

Grace's net cash provided by operating activities for the year
ended December 31, 2009, was $432.5 million compared with
$15.0 million for the prior year.  Capital expenditures for the
year ended December 31, 2009 were $93.8 million compared with
$132.2 million for the prior year.

At December 31, 2009, Grace had available liquidity of
approximately $954.6 million, consisting of $893.0 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $61.6 million of available credit under
various non-U.S. credit facilities.  Grace believes that these
sources and amounts of liquidity and cash flow from operations are
sufficient to support its business operations, strategic
initiatives and Chapter 11 proceedings until a plan of
reorganization is confirmed and Grace emerges from bankruptcy.

Grace does not intend to renew its $165.0 million debtor-in-
possession credit facility which expires April 1, 2010.
On January 15, 2010, Grace filed a motion with the Bankruptcy
Court seeking approval to establish a $100 million cash-
collateralized letter of credit facility with a commercial bank to
support letters of credit currently outstanding.

Based on current liquidity and expected 2010 cash flow, Grace
expects to require new financing of up to $850 million to
consummate the Joint Plan.  In addition, Grace intends to obtain a
$200 million revolving credit facility in connection with its exit
financing.  Grace has selected Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank as
its lead lenders for the exit financing, and on Jan. 15, 2010,
Grace filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval to
enter into engagement letters with these banks.

                      2010 OUTLOOK

On February 27, 2009, Grace filed the Joint Plan and certain
proforma and prospective financial information with the Bankruptcy
Court.  The financial information includes estimates as of
February 27, 2009, of Grace's sales, Core EBIT and Core EBITDA for
2010.  As of February 2, 2010, Grace is updating its estimates of
2010 sales, Core EBIT and Core EBITDA.

As described in the financial information filed with the Joint
Plan, Grace manages its operations to maximize sales, earnings and
cash flow based on actual and expected market conditions.  In
response to the severe downturn in customer demand in 2009, Grace
prioritized cash flow over growth investments.  With improving
customer demand in 2010, Grace intends to resume a balanced focus
on growth, profitability and cash flow as the best strategy for
improving return on invested capital over time.

Grace expects to report 2010 sales of $2.65 billion to
$2.75 billion. Grace expects increased sales volumes of 3% to 7%
to be offset by decreased sales from the deconsolidation of the
ART joint venture effective December 1, 2009, and the three non-
strategic product lines sold in 2009.  Grace recorded 2009 sales
of approximately $267 million related to ART and the divested
product lines.

Grace expects the increase in overall sales volumes to result from
modest improvements in overall customer demand and, more
significantly, from new products and other growth initiatives.
Grace expects global construction spending to remain weak in 2010.
Grace expects real global construction spending to grow less than
1% in 2010.  Grace expects growth in North America and Western
Europe to be negative, and growth in Asia, the Middle East and
Latin America to be positive.

Grace expects to maintain its gross profit percentage in the mid-
30 percent range.  Grace expects to experience higher costs for
certain raw materials in 2010. Cost increases are expected to be
mitigated by productivity improvements in Grace's manufacturing
and supply chain operations.

Grace expects 2010 Core EBIT to improve to $310 million to
$340 million, an increase of 20% to 33% over 2009, driven
primarily by improved gross profits. Grace expects that 2010 will
also benefit from the full year effects of restructuring actions
completed during 2009, partially offset by new investments in
sales, technical service, marketing and research and development.
Grace plans to invest in these customer-facing and technical
positions to support its growth investments, primarily in the
faster growing developing markets where Grace's infrastructure is
less mature.  Grace expects 2010 Core EBITDA to be $425 million to
$460 million.

Grace intends to continue its intense focus on working
capital productivity, and expects to further reduce net working
capital days in 2010.  Capital expenditures are expected to be
approximately $135 million.  In addition to the polypropylene
catalyst investment announced in December 2009, Grace Davison is
planning capacity additions to support increasing customer demand,
and Grace Construction Products is planning to add up to 11 new
manufacturing sites in developing markets where demand for Grace's
products is increasing and Grace's market penetration is low.

Grace is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the income
effects of the consummation of the Joint Plan because the value of
certain consideration payable to the asbestos trusts under the
Joint Plan (primarily the deferred payments and the warrants) will
not ultimately be determined until the effective date of the Joint
Plan.  As a result, Grace is unable to make a complete estimate of
Grace net income for 2010.  When the Joint Plan is consummated,
Grace expects to record income from the reduction of asbestos
related liabilities, interest expense on the initial payments to
the asbestos trusts, expense relating to the costs of consummating
the Joint Plan (including exit financing costs) and the income tax
effects of these items.

Core EBIT (a non-U.S. GAAP measure) is defined as net income
adjusted for income taxes, interest income and expense, Chapter 11
expenses, and pre-tax loss from noncore activities.

Grace is a leading global supplier of catalysts and other
products to petroleum refiners; catalysts for the manufacture of
plastics; silica-based engineered and specialty materials for a
wide range of industrial applications; sealants and coatings for
food and beverage packaging, and specialty chemicals, additives
and building materials for commercial and residential
construction.  Founded in 1854, Grace has operations in over 40
countries.  For more information, visit Grace's web site at

XINHUA SPORTS: Receives Non-Compliance Notice From NASDAQ
---------------------------------------------------------
Xinhua Sports & Entertainment Limited has received a notice from
The NASDAQ Stock Market stating that for 30 consecutive business
days the bid price for the Company's American Depository Shares,
which trade on the NASDAQ Global Market, has closed below the
minimum $1.00 per ADS, as required by Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1)
for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market.  This
notification has no effect on the listing of the Company's ADSs on
the NASDAQ Global Market at this time, though an indicator will be
displayed with all Company quotation information to reflect the
bid price deficiency.

The February 4, 2010 letter indicates that in accordance with
Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will regain compliance
with the minimum bid requirement if at any time before August 3,
2010 (180 calendar days from the date of the letter) the bid price
for the Company's ADSs closes at $1.00 or above per ADS for a
minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the
minimum bid price rule by August 3, 2010, NASDAQ will provide the
Company with written notification that its ADSs are subject to
delisting from the NASDAQ Global Market.  At that time, pursuant
to Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company may be eligible for
an additional grace period of 180 calendar days if it meets all

Alternatively, the Company may appeal NASDAQ's determination to
delist its ADSs at that time.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of
its ADSs between now and August 3, 2010 and will evaluate
available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement under the NASDAQ
Marketplace Rules.

YRC WORLDWIDE: Reports $899 Million Pre-Tax Loss for FY2009
-----------------------------------------------------------
YRC Worldwide Inc. on Friday reported year-over-year and continued
sequential improvement in its fourth quarter 2009 results.  For
the quarter ending December 31, 2009, the company announced pre-
tax income of $50 million that included a net gain on note
exchanges of $194 million, lease termination charges of $8 million
related to further optimization of the YRC network, and severance
charges of $3 million due to further headcount reductions.  For
the full year 2009 the company reported a pre-tax loss of
$899 million compared to a full-year pre-tax loss in 2008 of
$1,147 million, including impairment charges of $1,023 million.
For the fourth quarter of 2008 the company reported a pre-tax loss
of $353 million which included impairment charges of $200 million.

"We continued our positive momentum in the fourth quarter as we
executed on our comprehensive plan. During 2009 we accomplished
the integration and right-sizing of the national networks, the
turnaround of the regional business, cost reductions and process
improvements, a self-help liquidity program, and, most recently,
the successful note exchange to conclude the year," stated Bill
Zollars, Chairman and CEO of YRC Worldwide.  "With our
significantly improved balance sheet and additional liquidity
resulting from our debt-for-equity exchange, we entered 2010 on a
more solid financial base with good momentum."

The company reported an operating loss of $95 million for the
fourth quarter of 2009, a continued sequential improvement from
the third quarter operating loss of $118 million, which included a
net gain on property disposals of $11 million, following the
sequential improvement reported for the second quarter, and a
year-over-year improvement from the fourth quarter of 2008
operating loss of $335 million, which included impairment charges
of $200 million.

The company has not provided after-tax earnings information as it
is currently completing its income tax provision.  This delay is
caused by the time required to complete a valuation analysis
together with the underlying complexity of the accounting
associated with the debt-for-equity exchange.  The company plans
to include after-tax information in its 2009 Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                            New Capital

The company is executing on its plan to raise new capital
sufficient to satisfy the remaining 2010 note obligations and is
in advanced discussions with investors.

                         Liquidity Update

At December 31, 2009, the company had $3.060 billion in total
assets, including $880.131 million in total current assets;
against $1.067 billion in total current liabilities,
$890.493 million in long-term debt, less current portion,
$33.169 million in deferred income taxes, net, $351.861 million in
pension and post retirement, $425.776 million in claims and other
liabilities; resulting in $291.702 million in shareholders'
equity.  As of December 31, 2008, the company had $481.451 million
in shareholders' equity.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $3.281 billion in total
assets against total current liabilities of $1.687 billion, long-
term debt, less current portion of $892.0 million, deferred
income taxes, net of $131.4 million, pension and post retirement
of $384.9 million, and claims and other liabilities of
$410.2 million, resulting in shareholders' deficit of
$225.5 million.

At December 31, 2009, the company reported cash and cash
equivalents of $98 million and unused revolver reserves of
$160 million within the company's $950 million revolving credit
facility.  The company also reported usage of $223 million under
its $400 million asset-backed securitization facility.  In
addition, the company has filed its 2009 estimated federal tax
return using the newly available five-year carry-back legislation.
YRC Worldwide expects to receive an $85 million cash refund during
the first quarter of 2010 which the company would use for
operating liquidity.

For the fourth quarter the company completed sale and financing
leasebacks of $26 million and sold $27 million of surplus
property.  During 2009 the company completed sale and financing
leasebacks of $332 million and sales of surplus property of
$133 million, and deferred union pension contributions of
$171 million, all as part of the company's self-help liquidity
plan.

                      Key Segment Information

Fourth quarter 2009 compared to the fourth quarter 2008:

    * YRC National Transportation total shipments per day down
      39.9% and total revenue per hundredweight, including fuel
      surcharge, down 4.2%.

    * YRC Regional Transportation total shipments per day down
      19.9% and total revenue per hundredweight, including fuel
      surcharge, down 7.7%.

"Our fourth quarter sequential improvement in operating results,
despite seasonally lower revenues, resulted from our cost
improvement actions, continued pricing discipline and initiatives
to improve our revenue mix," said Tim Wicks, President and Chief
Operating Officer of YRC Worldwide.  "Our improved performance,
measured year-over-year and from a lower revenue base, is now
becoming apparent in our operating results and we expect favorable
year-over-year comparisons will accelerate during 2010."

                           2010 Outlook

Economic forecasts generally indicate a stabilizing economy during
2010 with modest growth prospects.  The company recently engaged
an independent research firm to conduct a customer survey of
transportation decision makers regarding their 2010 business
outlook.  Sixty-two percent said they were optimistic that their
business volumes would increase this year.  In addition, eighty-
five percent said they intended to increase or maintain their YRC
Worldwide shipments during 2010.

                        Not Off the Hook Yet

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

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

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

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

ZAYAT STABLES: Has $2.45 Mil. DIP Loan From Unidentified Source
---------------------------------------------------------------
According to Janet Patton at The (Lexington, Ky.) Herald-Leader,
Ahmed Zayat said in an affidavit filed with the Bankruptcy Court
that filing for bankruptcy will allow him to use cash collateral
and a debtor-in-possession loan of $2.45 million from an
unidentified source.

Ms. Patton reports Mr. Zayat has previously said he has outside
financing that would provide $5.2 million to keep the stable
running.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Zayat Stables LLC
filed a Chapter 11 petition on February 3, 2010, in Newark, New
Jersey (Bankr. D. N.J. Case No. 10-13130).  The Debtor disclosed
10,000,000 to 100,000,000 in total assets.  Herald-Leader says
Zayat disclosed $10,000,000 to $50,000,000 in estimated
liabilities.

Herald-Leader reports the bankruptcy filing was made to block a
possible bank takeover of the racing stable.  Ms. Patton relates
that Mr. Zayat, in his affidavit, said he took the step so the
stable "can continue to operate its business and build on its
successes for the benefit of all its creditors in the face of
predatory practices by its primary secured lender, Fifth Third
Bank."

Herald-Leader notes the bankruptcy comes less than a week before a
hearing in U.S. District Court in Lexington on a motion by Fifth
Third Bank to appoint a receiver for Mr. Zayat's 200-plus horse
racing stable.  Fifth Third alleges Zayat owes the bank more than
$34 million after defaulting on a loan.  Herald-Leader says
because a bankruptcy filing stays all other pending litigation, a
hearing today on the bank's motion probably will be canceled.

Herald-Leader says Mr. Zayat blames the bank for reneging on plans
to restructure loans in 2009, and said the bank has pursued a
"scorched earth" policy that is intended to put him out of
business.

Herald-Leader reports Craig Robertson, Esq., attorney for Fifth
Third, said the bank does not comment on pending litigation.

According to Herald-Leader, Mr. Zayat claims he has "the support
of the key players in its industry, including, without limitation,
Keeneland Association Inc., an approximately $2.4 million secured
creditor."  Mr. Zayat said Keeneland Association loaned him more
than $3.13 million for the purchase of 24 horses at the September
sale.  That loan, written up in October, was secured with the
proceeds and products from those horses.

According to Herald-Leader, the loan was reduced by a $750,000
payment on Tuesday from Mr. Zayat's brother, Sherif El Zayat.

Mr. Zayat's affidavit says as consideration for that payment,
Keeneland has agreed to Mr. Zayat's use of cash collateral and to
provide support to the debtor relating to the Keeneland Horses.

Herald-Leader says Keeneland spokesman Jay Blanton said, "We have
yet to see the filings and as the case is just starting its
process in the courts, it's premature to comment at this time."

According to Herald-Leader, Mr. Zayat said he borrowed the money
from Keeneland after Fifth Third promised once again to
restructure his loans.  Following that promise, he said, he
withdrew most of the horses he planned to sell in the Keeneland
November Breeding Stock Sale.  He also paid $4.3 million to the
bank from the sale of breeding rights to sprinter Zensational, who
now stands at Hill 'n' Dale Farm in Lexington for $25,000.  Those
two moves left him severely strapped for cash when the bank later
called in the loans, he said.

A complete list of banks that failed since 2000 is available at:

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

                   552 Banks on Problem List

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

               Problem Institutions      Failed Institutions

* Bernanke to Testify Feb. 10 on Fed's Exit Stimulus Measures
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.
Bernanke plans to testify before the House Financial Services
Committee on Feb. 10 about the central bank's plans to withdraw
emergency stimulus from the U.S. economy.  According to the
report, Mr. Bernanke and his colleagues are trying to pull back
unprecedented stimulus and lending programs without impeding
efforts to sustain a recovery.  The Fed recently upgraded its
economic outlook and reaffirmed it will end liquidity backstops
and a $1.25 trillion program to buy mortgage-backed securities.


* Ex-BofA CEO Atop List of Officials Faulted in Financial Crisis
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reported that Kenneth D. Lewis, the former leader
at Bank of America Corp. who presided over two bailouts, now
stands as the highest-ranking official to be accused of wrongdoing
in the financial industry's meltdown.

Mr. Lewis, chief executive officer until December, and then-Chief
Financial Officer Joe Price were accused along with the bank of
civil fraud today by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

Mr. Lewis, 62 joined more than half a dozen peers who left or lost
their jobs amid $1.7 trillion of losses tied to the global
financial crisis.  Among them were Citigroup Inc.'s Charles O.
Prince, Merrill Lynch & Co.'s E. Stanley O'Neal, Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc.'s Richard S. Fuld and Wachovia Corp.'s G. Kennedy
Thompson -- none of whom was charged with wrongdoing.


* FDIC Says 4 Banks "Needs to Improve" CRA Compliance
-----------------------------------------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on Friday issued its
list of state nonmember banks recently evaluated for compliance
with the Community Reinvestment Act.

The list covers evaluation ratings that the FDIC assigned to
institutions in November 2009.  The CRA is a 1977 law intended to
encourage insured banks and thrifts to meet local credit needs,
including those of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods,
consistent with safe and sound operations.  As part of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989 (FIRREA), Congress mandated the public disclosure of an
evaluation and rating for each bank or thrift that undergoes a CRA
examination on or after July 1, 1990.

According to the FDIC, four banks were assessed a "Needs to
Improve" rating.  No bank was assessed a "Substantial Non-
compliance" rating.

Banks assessed with "Needs to Improve" rating are:


   Bank Name                    City & State
   ---------                    ------------
   Bank of the South            PENSACOLA, FL
   Guaranty Bond Bank           MOUNT PLEASANT, TX
   Gateway Business Bank        CERRITOS, CA
   Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, Ltd.   LOS ANGELES, CA

A consolidated list of all state nonmember banks whose evaluations
have been made publicly available since July 1, 1990, including
the rating for each bank, can be obtained from the FDIC's Public
Information Center, located at 3501 Fairfax Drive, Room E-1002,
Arlington, VA 22226 (877-275-3342 or 703-562-2200), or via the
Internet at http://www.fdic.gov/

A copy of an individual bank's CRA evaluation is available
directly from the bank, which is required by law to make the
material available upon request, or from the FDIC's Public
Information Center.

A full-text copy of the February 2010 List of Banks Examined for
CRA Compliance is available at no charge at
http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/community/monthly/2010/crafeb10.ht
mlCongress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in
1933 to restore public confidence in the nation's banking system.
The FDIC insures deposits at the nation's 8,099 banks and savings
associations and it promotes the safety and soundness of these
institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to
which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no federal tax dollars -
insured financial institutions fund its operations.


* FTC Proposes Rule That Would Bar Mortgage Relief Companies
------------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Trade Commission moved to protect distressed
homeowners from the promoters of bogus foreclosure rescue and
mortgage modification services by proposing a new rule that would
forbid companies to charge up-front for these services.  Instead,
companies could only collect payment after providing services.

"Homeowners facing foreclosure or struggling to make mortgage
payments shouldn't have to contend with fraudulent 'companies'
that don't provide what they promise," FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz
said.  "The proposed rule would outlaw up-front fees so companies
can't take the money and run."

According to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking announced today,
historic levels of consumer debt, increased unemployment, and an
unprecedented downturn in the housing and mortgage markets have
contributed to high rates of mortgage loan delinquency and
foreclosure.  This mortgage crisis has launched an industry of
companies purporting, for a fee, to obtain mortgage loan
modifications or other relief for consumers facing foreclosure.
The FTC has brought 28 cases in this area, and state and federal
law enforcement partners have brought hundreds more.  Generally
these cases charged that companies do not provide the services
they promise and that they misrepresent their affiliation with the
government and government housing assistance programs, including
the Making Home Affordable Program.

The FTC notice seeks public input, particularly from attorneys and
other professionals, on a proposed rule that would require
mortgage relief companies to make good on their promised results
before charging or accepting payment from consumers.  Under the
proposed rule, companies could not be paid until they had a
documented offer from a mortgage lender or servicer that lives up
to the promises they have made.

'Far too many homeowners have paid up-front fees to bad actors who
promised loan modifications but never delivered," Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner said.  "I commend the FTC for proposing
a strong set of safeguards to protect consumers from these
predatory practices."

The proposed rule also would bar providers from telling consumers
to stop communicating with their lenders or mortgage services, and
from misleading them about key facts such as:

The likelihood of getting the results they want, and how long it
will take.

Their affiliation with public or private entities.

Payment and other existing mortgage obligations.

Refund and cancellation policies.

In addition, the proposed rule would require providers to tell
consumers that they are for-profit businesses, the total amount
consumers will have to pay, that neither the government nor the
consumer's lender has approved their services, and that there is
no guarantee that the lender will agree to change their loan.

The proposed rules would apply to for-profit companies that, in
exchange for a fee, offer to work with lenders and services on
behalf of consumers to modify the terms of mortgage loans or to
take other steps to avoid foreclosure on those loans.  The
proposed rules generally exempt entities that own or service
mortgage loans.  Attorneys would have a limited exemption from the
proposed advance fee ban if they represent consumers in a
bankruptcy or other legal proceeding.

The FTC rulemaking proceeding is required by legislation secured
in 2009 by Senator Byron Dorgan and Chairman Jay Rockefeller.  Any
proposed rule would apply only to entities within the FTC's
jurisdiction under the FTC Act, which excludes, among others,
banks, thrifts, and federal credit unions.  As the first step in
the rulemaking process, on June 1, 2009, the FTC issued an Advance
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on the practices of
for-profit mortgage relief services providers.

By a 4-0 vote, the Commission authorized publication in the
Federal Register of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which has a
45-day public comment period ending March 29, 2010.  Full
instructions for submitting comments are found in the Address
section of the Notice.

The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent
fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to
provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a
complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint
Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).  The FTC enters
complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database
available to more than 1,700 civil and criminal law enforcement
agencies in the U.S. and abroad.  The FTC's Web site provides free
information on a variety of consumer topics.


* More Firms Opt for Chapter 11 as Total Business Filings Drop
--------------------------------------------------------------
The number of businesses seeking Chapter 11 protection in January
increased nearly 22 percent from December 2009, but the same
period showed a drop in overall commercial filings, according to
ABI.


* NYU's Altman Predicts 2010 Defaults as High as 6.7%
-----------------------------------------------------
Edward Altman, a finance professor at New York University's
Leonard L. Stern School of Business, said that the U.S. corporate
default rate this year will fall to half of what it was in 2009 if
the recession is over.


* Haynes & Boone Expands East Coast Office
------------------------------------------
In a major expansion of its East Coast real estate, finance and
real estate restructuring practices, Haynes and Boone, LLP
announces the addition of six partners who bring a wealth of
experience, particularly representing top-tier New York financial
institutions, real estate funds and private equity groups.

All six partners are making the move to the Haynes and Boone
Finance Practice from the Paul Hastings New York-based real estate
finance and restructuring practices.  Four of the six are focused
on real estate finance. They are Kenneth J. Friedman, Robert J.
Grados, Steven Koch and Walter F. Schleimer.  The other two --
Lawrence Mittman and Carolyn E. Sullivan -- concentrate on real
estate restructurings. The group's collective experience will be
invaluable to Haynes and Boone clients for real estate finance,
and as restructurings, workouts and bankruptcies continue to
create opportunities.

"This is an impressive group of highly respected lawyers who have
long been go-to counselors for some of the largest institutions in
New York," said Haynes and Boone Managing Partner Terry Conner.
"Their arrival gives us an even stronger national presence on the
East Coast. They bring with them practices that have been
consistently robust, even in economic downturns."

In recent months through internal transfers and lateral hiring,
the firm has bolstered its New York-based bankruptcy, securities
regulation, white collar crime and finance capabilities. Additions
have brought the Haynes and Boone bankruptcy/restructuring/workout
group to more than 50 lawyers, 15 of which are now resident in the
New York office. The firm has set an overall goal of expanding to
at least 100 lawyers in New York in the next several years.

"This group is clearly recognized as a premier practice in real
estate finance and restructurings," said Kenneth Bezozo, New York
administrative partner. "Also, just as important, their
capabilities and practices overlap with and nicely complement our
strategic focus and client base.  It's a great fit -- both
culturally and strategically -- of like-thinking individuals who
have common goals and aspirations."

Members of the incoming Haynes and Boone group said they were
attracted to the firm for many reasons. "We're intrigued by the
firm's goals for expansion," said Mr. Grados. "But we are equally
compelled by the fact that Haynes and Boone isn't driven solely by
metrics or numbers. It is apparent to us that the firm's unique
culture is a true partnership of great people. We wanted to be
part of a vibrant firm with a bright future, and we believe that
we've found it."

Brief biographies of the new lateral hires:

Kenneth J. Friedman brings a practice that focuses on real estate

                           *********

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.
